TL;DRIn this episode of the Mama Earth Talk podcast, host Mariska Nell talks with Christy Wilhelmi, founder of Gardenerd and author of five books, who grows 50–70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet using bio-intensive gardening. The big takeaway: healthy soil, not chemicals, gadgets, or acreage, is what makes growing your own food work.Have you ever wondered if you could actually grow your own food, even with a tiny backyard, a balcony, or barely any space at all? In this episode of the Mama Earth Talk podcast, host Mariska Nell talks with Christy Wilhelmi, founder of Gardenerd and author of five books, who grows 50-70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet using bio-intensive gardening. The big takeaway: healthy soil - not chemicals, gadgets, or acreage - is what makes growing your own food work.IN THIS EPISODEMariska and Christy dig into how bio-intensive gardening grows serious amounts of food in tiny spaces, why you should lab-test your soil for heavy metals before planting in the ground, the truth about electric indoor "composters", and how community gardens build both food security and human connection. Christy also shares her journey from theatre graduate to top-ranked gardening podcaster, her Food Inc. 2 panel takeaways on fixing the food system, and her upcoming cozy mystery Bolting to Seed.KEY TAKEAWAYSBio-intensive gardening grows more food in less space with less water, land, and labour than conventional rows - it is how Christy grows 50-70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet.- Before planting in the ground, get a lab soil test that includes heavy metals: beets, chard, and spinach can pull lead from contaminated soil into your food. A full test costs about $95 in the US, less near universities.- Electric indoor "composters" don't compost - they dehydrate scraps into "potpourri" with no microbial life, and rehydrating the output can attract pests.- Healthy, microbially rich soil prevents most pest and disease problems before they start - steward the soil and the garden largely takes care of itself.- The answer to "how do I kill this bug?" is an ecosystem: pollinator-friendly plants attract predator insects that control pests for you.- If you can't grow your own food, shopping at farmers markets and buying organic "puts your money where your mouth is" - demand shapes the food system.TIMESTAMPS[00:00] Could you grow your own food - even with barely any space?[02:45] Welcome, Christy Wilhelmi[03:01] Earth Day, 30+ years vegetarian, and how Christy's journey began[04:12] Building Gardenerd - and pitching a community-garden show to PBS SoCal[05:29] "One garden at a time": the antidote to climate hopelessness[07:15] Bio-intensive gardening: 50-70% of the family's produce in under 300 sq ft[09:15] Lead in the soil: why (and how) to test before you plant[11:21] "How do I kill this bug?" - building an ecosystem instead[13:30] Soil is your biggest investment[15:32] Food Inc. 2, the farm bill, and voting with your wallet[18:44] Can home gardens really move the needle?[20:06] 28 years in a community garden: what it teaches about people[21:37] The indoor composter myth ("it's potpourri, not compost")[25:02] Garden Variety and the new cozy mystery Bolting to Seed (out June 1)[29:42] The Final FiveABOUT CHRISTY WILHELMIChristy Wilhelmi is the founder of Gardenerd, the ultimate resource for garden nerds, and the author of five books including High-Yield Small-Space Organic Gardening and the novel Garden Variety. She grows 50-70% of her family's produce in less than 300 square feet, teaches organic gardening classes in California, and reaches gardeners worldwide through her top-ranked podcast and YouTube channel. Her new cozy mystery, Bolting to Seed, is out June 1 and available for pre-order.Website: gardenerd.com | Instagram & TikTok: @gardenerd1 | Facebook: gardenerd.comLINKS AND RESOURCES MENTIONEDLiving Lighter - Mariska's free waste-reduction course: [INSERT LINK]- Gardenerd - blog, podcast, YouTube, classes: gardenerd.com- Bolting to Seed by Christy Wilhelmi (cozy mystery, out June 1 - pre-order at gardenerd.com)- Garden Variety by Christy Wilhelmi (novel)- Greg Peterson - Urban Farm U (fruit tree classes)- Kiss the Ground (Netflix documentary)- Food Inc. 2 (documentary)FAQCan you really grow your own food in a small space?Yes. According to Christy Wilhelmi on the Mama Earth Talk podcast, bio-intensive gardening - compact, efficient growing in raised beds - lets her grow 50-70% of her family's produce in under 300 square feet, using less water, land, and labour than conventional gardening.Should I test my soil before growing vegetables?If you're planting directly in the ground, yes. Lab soil tests reveal heavy metals like lead, which crops such as beets, chard, and spinach can draw into your food. A comprehensive test costs about $95 in the US. Raised beds with clean soil are the alternative.Do indoor electric composters actually work?No. They dehydrate food scraps rather than composting them - there is no microbial activity, and the dried output can attract ants and other pests when rehydrated. Real composting needs living microbes.What's the easiest way to start organic gardening?Focus on soil first. Healthy, nutrient-rich, microbially active soil prevents most pest and disease problems, reduces watering and feeding, and matters more than any product or gadget.QUOTE OF THE EPISODE"The one thing that's going extinct faster than anything else is our topsoil.

Mark explains the fundamental differences between Amazon's intent-based selling and Shopify's cold traffic environment, emphasizing the need for brand storytelling. He challenges the common obsession with ROAS, introducing the "holy trinity" of metrics: Customer Acquisition Cost, Lifetime Value, and Average Order Value. Mark also highlights the importance of retention marketing and authentic customer relationships, sharing real success and failure stories to illustrate how strategy, not tactics, drives sustainable e-commerce growth.Here are the 3 action items that Josh identified from this episode:Shift from “conversion” to “connection” Stop treating Shopify like Amazon. Build demand through storytelling, content, and brand experience—optimize for trust and engagement before expecting conversions.Scale with the right metrics (not ROAS) Track and optimize your CAC:LTV:AOV triangle. Aim for a 1:3 CAC:LTV ratio, and be willing to accept lower short-term ROAS to acquire high-value customers.Increase AOV + retention to unlock profit Bundle products, upsell, and improve post-purchase experience.

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.

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down the hidden cognitive costs of living in a short-form, scroll-heavy world. Building on the idea of context, he explores how constant “context switching” from rapid-fire clips is quietly eroding memory, focus, and decision-making. Backed by emerging research and real-life examples, Travis explains why this isn't just about distraction—it's about protecting your brain, your judgment, and ultimately your ability to make money. On this episode we talk about: How rapid “context switching” from short-form content damages your brain The link between scrolling habits and declining memory, focus, and productivity Why out-of-context content is one of the most powerful forms of misinformation How false ideas stick in your brain—and why corrections often fail to fix them The real-world consequences of poor context on money, relationships, and decision-making Top 3 Takeaways Constant scrolling and context switching weaken your memory, focus, and ability to follow through on intentions. Out-of-context clips aren't harmless—they're one of the most effective ways misinformation spreads and sticks. Your ability to focus and think deeply is becoming a rare (and highly valuable) advantage in today's economy. Notable Quotes "Your brain isn't built to jump between 15-second stories all day—it comes at a cost." "The lie gets a head start, and the truth shows up late and out of context." "Focus is the superpower of this decade—and distraction is the enemy of success."

Episode #1181 A thriving relationship isn't built by one person. It takes two people choosing to create it together. In this episode of The TPM Show, Tim Matthews and Lawrence Davis explore what happens after you've started rebuilding trust in your relationship. Many men work hard to become better husbands by taking ownership, improving their habits, and showing up differently. But there comes a point when lasting growth requires both partners to actively participate. Tim shares a simple three-step framework for men who want to strengthen their relationship without losing themselves in the process. The conversation covers the importance of focusing on the relationship you want to create, taking full ownership of your side of the street, and committing to the process instead of obsessing over the outcome. Together, Tim and Lawrence also discuss why actions matter more than words, how honoring agreements rebuilds trust, and why healthy relationships require both partners to lead, follow, and support one another at different times. If you've been carrying the weight of your relationship on your own, this episode offers a refreshing perspective on what true partnership looks like. Timestamp Chapters 00:00 Creating the relationship you really want 04:18 Focus on the gain, not the gap 06:28 Owning your side of the street 10:12 Why relationships are a co-creation 11:18 What if your partner says they're done? 13:06 Honoring agreements and rebuilding trust 16:42 Committing to the process, not the outcome 20:24 When your partner finally notices the change 22:13 Leadership, followership, and partnership 27:45 Why both partners need to wake up 32:05 Three takeaways for building a stronger relationship If you're ready to understand what's really holding your relationship back and learn a practical framework for rebuilding trust, watch the Scales Free Training: Prefer to watch instead of listen?

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.

Keep winning! Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Katelyn Rhoades. Shared how she transformed a $750-per-month social media side hustle into a seven-figure business. As a visibility strategist and founder of Influence Marketing Studio, she explained how entrepreneurs can leverage social media, personal branding, and consistent content creation to build audiences, create opportunities, and generate revenue. Her story demonstrates that location, background, and resources are no longer major barriers to success when visibility and digital platforms are used strategically. Purpose of the Interview The interview was designed to: Show how social media can be used to create business opportunities. Teach entrepreneurs the importance of visibility and personal branding. Demonstrate how a side hustle can become a scalable business. Help listeners understand the fundamentals of social media marketing. Inspire people to overcome fear and take action on their business ideas. Explain how content creation can lead to multiple streams of income. Key Takeaways 1. Visibility Creates Opportunity Katelyn's central message is that people cannot buy from, hire, or recommend someone they do not know exists. By consistently showing up online and sharing expertise, entrepreneurs can attract clients, partnerships, media opportunities, and new revenue streams. 2. Start Before You're Ready Katelyn did not begin with a detailed business plan, funding, or a built-in audience. She started by sharing simple social media marketing tips online and learning through action. Her success came from consistent execution rather than waiting for perfect conditions. 3. Social Media Is the Most Accessible Marketing Tool She stressed that platforms such as Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, and YouTube provide entrepreneurs with free access to large audiences. People can build businesses simply by sharing valuable knowledge and expertise consistently. 4. Focus on One Platform First Rather than trying to master every social channel simultaneously, Katelyn recommends choosing one platform and becoming exceptionally good at it. This focused approach allows entrepreneurs to learn faster and build authority more quickly. 5. Monetization Begins by Solving Problems As her audience grew, followers began asking her questions about social media growth. Instead of continuing to answer those questions for free, she packaged her expertise into paid consulting services and coaching calls. Her success shows that demand often reveals itself through audience questions. 6. Learn Skills Using Free Resources Katelyn emphasized that modern entrepreneurs have access to unprecedented learning opportunities through: YouTube AI tools Online tutorials Free educational content She believes anyone can acquire valuable skills if they are willing to invest the time. 7. Multiple Revenue Streams Grow Naturally What started as social media management evolved into: Agency services Coaching Content creation Brand partnerships Sponsored content Podcasting Digital products She views business growth as a domino effect where visibility creates additional opportunities. 8. Organic Marketing Still Works Unlike many marketers who rely heavily on paid advertising, Katelyn built her business largely through organic content and relationship-building. Her strategy focuses on: Authenticity Consistency Audience engagement Value-driven content 9. Almost Any Interest Can Become a Business One of her strongest points was that people often dismiss their expertise or hobbies as insignificant. Katelyn believes there is an audience for nearly every niche, provided there is genuine demand and a clear way to help people. 10. Mistakes Are Part of Success Katelyn openly discussed her challenges, including: Navigating a lawsuit related to content usage Learning copyright rules Hiring mistakes Holding on to employees too long She credits those experiences with making her a stronger entrepreneur. Key Themes Entrepreneurship Through Visibility The interview repeatedly underscores the idea that online visibility is no longer optional for entrepreneurs seeking growth. Personal Branding Building a recognizable personal brand can create opportunities that extend far beyond an initial service offering. Action Over Perfection Taking imperfect action consistently is more valuable than waiting for the perfect plan. Audience-Driven Business Creation Successful entrepreneurs listen closely to what their audience is asking for and create solutions accordingly. Notable Quotes On Entrepreneurship "Visibility creates opportunity." On Finding Your Expertise "Is there something that you're passionate about that you know a lot about that you could talk about without getting sick of it?"

Welcome to Grace in Focus radio / podcast. Today, Bob Wilkin and Bob Vancendak are continuing a series about assurance of salvation.  What does the Gospel of John say about […]

Episode Summary In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog are joined by guest Chutes as they dive deep into the realities of business coaching success, the psychology behind high-performing coaches, and practical frameworks for filling live events, recruiting talent, and building a business you could sell tomorrow (even if you never want to). The duo address why most business owners regret selling their businesses, how to break free from nervous system roadblocks, and the myths of retirement and "following your passion." Packed with street-level tactics and high-level mindset shifts, the episode is a must-listen for any coach wanting to elevate their impact—and their income. Key Topics Covered What Separates Struggling vs. Dominant Coaches Karl Bryan explains that action (not just planning) is what divides the mediocre from the masters 03:33. Struggling coaches obsess over lead generation; winners obsess over creating value, up-leveling their operating system, and honing a world-class deliverable 04:09. Why Most Exiting Owners Have Regret Karl Bryan shares the sobering stat: 73% of owners regret selling their businesses 07:27. The myth of the "big payday" vs. reality—a deal often means less cash, complicated earn-outs, and a shell of your former company 09:21. The right way to exit is building a sellable business, headhunting successors, and prioritizing tight contracts with expert legal help 12:01. Recruiting Top Talent in Any Industry For hard-to-hire trades, don't just post an ad—sell a vision, recruit from outside your market, and lead like a college football recruiter 16:01. The secret is to approach hiring as outreach, not just intake 13:16. Mastering Your Nervous System for Ultimate Performance The biggest blocks are psychological, not tactical—if you're stuck, look at your environment, self-connection, and relationships, not just your to-do list 18:29. Build meaningful connections, manage stress through self-awareness, and focus on root causes rather than just treating symptoms 19:43. The Real Meaning of Retirement & Passion Karl Bryan breaks down why "retirement" is often an illusion that leads to boredom, divorce, or addiction 28:14. Instead, shoot for "semi-retired for life"—keep a handful of clients you love and never truly stop delivering value 32:05. Don't chase passion blindly—excel at what you do, fall in love with service and progress, and your business will love you back 36:14. Karl's No-Excuses Blueprint to Filling an Event in Five Days Pick up the phone like your life depends on it, research new/local businesses, and genuinely care about the value you bring 43:34. Build high-energy connections, focus on helping vs. selling, and don't be afraid of rejection 46:05. Notable Quotes "Struggling coaches focus on what they earn. The best focus on what they learn." — Karl Bryan 06:52 "The magic is not in the plan. The magic is in the planning." — Karl Bryan 05:01 "High-end buyers buy on identity. Lower-end buyers buy off utility and desire." — Karl Bryan 05:53 "Healing your nervous system isn't about becoming someone new. It's becoming you again." — Karl Bryan 25:05 "'Do what you love' is overrated. It's 'love what you do' and master the process." — Karl Bryan 38:42 "Progress equals happiness." — Rode Dog, show close 58:30 Actionable Takeaways Focus on Value, Not Leads: Obsession with helping and delivering unmatched results outlasts any marketing hack. — Shift your attention to client outcomes and continuously improve your deliverable. Recruit Boldly: Don't wait for great hires to find you. Go out, tell your company's vision, and proactively sell A-players on joining—no matter the industry. Plan for an Exit You May Never Take: Build your business as if you'll sell, but with the strength and systems that let you walk away or stay for life. Address Mindset Before Tactics: If you're "jammed up," investigate your environment, relationships, and sense of self-safety. Connection, not isolation, is the real performance unlock. Ditch the Retirement Myth: Aim for "semi-retirement"—a hands-on, purpose-driven lifestyle with a few high-impact clients, not endless leisure. Love What You Do—Don't Just Chase Passion: Mastery, service, and progress are the foundations of a fulfilling business. Passion follows excellence. Fill Events Fast by Taking Relentless Action: Research every local business. Call with conviction. Focus on getting them in the room to help—not just to sell.

What happens when you take a man, remove all of his comfort, cut him off from his family, push his body to the absolute limit, and tell him there's $1,000,000 waiting at the finish line?Drew Haas found out.After winning Season 2 of Netflix's Outlast, Drew sits down to talk about what the show was really like behind the cameras — the hunger, lack of sleep, homesickness, physical punishment, and the mental battle that came with being pushed to his breaking point.He also talks about how he prepared for the experience with thousands of bow shots, miles of barefoot training, and serious mental preparation — and why none of it could fully prepare him for what it would feel like to be completely disconnected from his family and forced to suffer for weeks.But this conversation goes way beyond Outlast.We talk about what hardship does to a man, what he learned about himself, the people he surrounded himself with, business, family, and what happens when you're forced to find out what you're actually made of.$1,000,000 was the prize.The real question is what it cost him to win it.Follow Drew @haasoutdoorsWebsite https://trybullbee.com/Interested in my private coaching & FREE workouts?

US equity futures are modestly lower. European equities are higher, while Asian markets ended mostly firmer. Focus is on Fed Chair Warsh's Jackson Hole speech amid uncertainty over the Fed's reaction function and the implications of recent Treasury buybacks. Markets are also watching the Strait of Hormuz, where there is still no concrete progress on reopening despite reports of an Iran-Oman agreement on revenue sharing. Iran is preparing conditions for reopening the Strait, while the US has rejected a return to June's MoU and continues to favor economic pressure. There are thoughts that US efforts in shuttling crude through the Strait is helping to cap oil prices.Companies Mentioned: Anthropic, NVIDIA, PayPal

Brian talks with Gary Schneeberger, assistant to the president for media relations at Focus on the Family, about the ministry's search for a new president as Jim Daly, nearing 65, begins a planned transition after 20 years of leadership. Gary explains the search process — conducted with the help of a search firm over an expected 12 to 18 months, landing near the ministry's 50th anniversary in 2027 — and reflects on Daly's legacy of refocusing the organization on marriage, parenting, and walking out faith in the public square, following founder Dr. James Dobson's more prophetic, public-policy-driven era. Gary shares why Daly wants to model a healthy leadership handoff to a next-generation leader attuned to today's cultural challenges, and says the top qualification the board is seeking is unchanged biblical conviction consistent with the ministry's 50-year history.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Dr. Ricardo Valerdi is an engineer, social entrepreneur, sports scientist, and engineering professor at the University of Arizona who specializes in helping teams think clearly and make better decisions. His work has helped organizations including SpaceX, the U.S. Army, Major League Baseball, and the NCAA, while his nonprofit, Science of Sport, has used sports to teach STEM concepts to more than 700,000 students. He's also the author of The Five Tool Team, a practical framework for building teams that make smarter, more confident decisions. On this episode we talk about: How sports and data-driven decision-making can work together to create better outcomes Using baseball to teach kids math, science, and the importance of understanding data How confirmation bias and personal preferences can lead to poor financial and business decisions Why you should focus on controlling your decisions rather than the outcomes you can't control The “Five Tool Team” framework and why the best decision-making teams combine people with different strengths Top 3 Takeaways Don't let desire create blind spots. Whether you're choosing a baseball player or making a business decision, personal preferences can cause you to focus only on information that supports what you already want. Look at the full set of data before making the decision. Control the controllables. You can't control every outcome, but you can control the quality of your decisions and the actions you take. Focus on what you can influence and accept that luck and circumstances will always play a role. Build teams that complement your weaknesses. You don't have to possess every skill required to make great decisions. Ricardo's Five Tool Team framework—focus, look, analyze, scrutinize, and humanize—emphasizes bringing together people whose strengths fill the gaps in your own abilities. Notable Quotes "Desire creates blind spots." "Ultimately what changes your life is the decisions that you make with the card that you are dealt." "If you do that one thing the best than anybody else can do it, you can hit a grand slam."

What if trying to create the perfect family moment is the very thing getting in the way? After a week away with three of their daughters, Kylie realised she’d arrived with a clear picture of how their time together should look. The reality was completely different. And it turned out to be better. Justin and Kylie unpack the pressure parents put on themselves to get the “recipe” right, why our kids need room to make their own choices, and how letting go of control can create more connection. Justin also shares what happened when Kylie left him juggling work and parenting, including one spectacular diary fail, and why simple, low-pressure time together can be some of the best parenting we do. KEY POINTS Why parenting doesn’t come with a guaranteed recipe for happy, successful kids How expectations can turn good family experiences into disappointments Why giving kids space can lead to more openness and connection The power of simple, unstructured time with your child Why presence, patience and understanding often matter more than elaborate plans - Justin’s lesson in juggling work and parenting when Kylie went away QUOTE OF THE EPISODE “It’s the simple stuff that makes our families work the best.” RESOURCES MENTIONED What Your Child Needs From You by Justin Coulson ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Notice where you’ve created a “recipe” for how family life should look. Leave room for your child to choose how they experience a moment. Swap one carefully planned activity for simple time together. Focus less on monitoring and more on creating a relationship where your child wants to talk to you. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If your best energy always goes to someone else's company, your own business may never get the attention it needs.Your strongest hours should support your future too.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why aspiring entrepreneurs should protect their mornings and use their sharpest, most focused time to build before the demands of the day job take over.By the end of a long workday, your focus is usually depleted.That makes it harder to rely on late-night motivation.A structured morning gives you uninterrupted time to work on the business while your energy is still high.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why evening exhaustion can sabotage your side-business progress• How early mornings create uninterrupted time for high-value work• Why working on your own goals first can improve daily momentum• How disciplined time management can accelerate your path into entrepreneurshipThe truth is simple:Stop giving every productive hour to a company you do not own.Wake up earlier.Protect the quiet hours.Focus on the tasks that actually move your business forward.Then walk into the day knowing you already invested in your own future.Pay yourself in time first.Win the morning.Build the empire.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    I'm excited to welcome Scott Curran to the show this week. Scott is a social impact lawyer, advisor, educator, founder and CEO of Beyond Advisors and former general counsel of the Clinton Foundation, where he advised a global nonprofit operating in more than 40 countries. His new book, Better Good, asks a deceptively simple question: instead of always trying to do more good, how can we get better at the good we're already doing?    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…entrepreneurs, business leaders, and anyone looking to create meaningful impact without feeling like they have to do more, give more, or solve everything. TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…doing good isn't about doing more, it's about doing better. Scott shares how small, intentional actions can create meaningful impact, why businesses benefit from aligning with their values, and how each of us can focus our time and energy where we can make the biggest difference.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Small actions can create meaningful collective impact. Doing good can be good for business, too. Your "not-to-do" list matters as much as your to-do list. Focus your time on what aligns with your strengths and values. Momentum grows when people take action together.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Scott's reminder that we don't need more money, time, or influence to make a difference. Sometimes, doing better simply starts with being more intentional about how we use what we already have   Running Time: 25:51   Subscribe on iTunes   Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Scott Online: LinkedIn Website   Scott's Book:  Better Good: A Simple System for Creating Lasting Impact

In this episode of the Super U Podcast, Erik Qualman sits down with legendary sports agent, entrepreneur, and best-selling author Leigh Steinberg. Often credited as the real-life inspiration for the Oscar-winning film Jerry Maguire, Leigh has spent decades helping some of the world's greatest athletes turn talent into enduring brands, careers, and legacies. Leigh shares lessons from representing more than 300 professional athletes and coaches across football, basketball, baseball, hockey, boxing, and golf. With an unprecedented eight number-one overall NFL Draft picks and 62 total first-round picks, his career is defined by record-setting contracts, bold negotiations, and a relentless belief in the power of preparation, relationships, and vision. The conversation explores what it takes to build a personal brand, negotiate with confidence, and turn success into meaningful impact. Leigh also discusses securing more than $4 billion for his clients and directing over $750 million to charitable causes around the world, offering a powerful perspective on how achievement can be used to create opportunities far beyond the individual. Whether you're an athlete, entrepreneur, leader, parent, or simply someone looking to maximize your potential, this episode offers an inspiring look at what it means to build a legacy and use success to make a difference. Learn More About MDEnvoy: From speaking at conferences to publishing research to weighing in on public health conversations, many physicians put in hard work to be visible beyond the doctor's office. Yet most lack the resources to turn that visibility into brand deals, paid speaking engagements, or long-term career positioning outside traditional medicine. Why should doctors, much like athletes or influencers, be thinking about monetizing their professional brand, and what does it look like when they can capitalize on their visibility?   Through MDEnvoy, co-founders Leigh Steinberg and Dr. Michael Suk aim to help today's physicians enter into long-lasting and mutually successful relationships with their employers and provide other strategic support, including relocation planning, wealth management, intellectual property protection, branding, and more. https://mdenvoy.com/ Connect on Instagram Connect on LinkedIn Connect on Facebook Connect on X Follow on YouTube Five-time #1 Bestselling Author and Motivational Speaker Erik Qualman has performed in over 60 countries and reached over 60 million people this past decade.

Howie Chan is an influence strategist, branding expert, and marketing consultant who specializes in the psychology behind human decision-making. After losing a $10 million pitch early in his career, Howie became obsessed with understanding the invisible forces that shape behavior, communication, leadership, storytelling, and negotiation. Today, he helps MedTech companies and professionals build stronger brands and attract better opportunities by applying behavioral science and influence psychology. On this episode we talk about: The $10 million pitch Howie lost and how it sparked his obsession with influence psychology How getting laid off after 20 years in the corporate world pushed Howie into entrepreneurship Why experts should use LinkedIn to build a professional brand and attract opportunities The difference between a personal brand and a professional brand—and why solving problems matters more than follower counts How podcasts, strategic associations, and social proof can build trust and accelerate your influence Top 3 Takeaways Turn failure into a learning opportunity. Instead of dwelling on a loss, ask, “What do I not know?” and figure out what you can learn to prevent the same mistake from happening again. Make your professional brand clear, not clever. Your LinkedIn profile should immediately communicate who you help and what problems you solve. Focus on the quality of opportunities you attract rather than vanity metrics like follower counts. Build influence through a flywheel of visibility, trust, and association. People first need to notice you, then remember you, trust you, and ultimately choose or recommend you. Podcasting can accelerate that process by allowing you to consistently demonstrate expertise and associate your brand with respected experts. Notable Quotes “There are a lot of hidden things that we don't know about. We think we know, but we don't, that's influencing decision making every single day.” “Make it clear. Not clever.” “Every transaction moves at the speed of trust.” Connect with Howie Chan: LinkedIn: Howie Chan Website: https://www.howiechan.com/ Other: Expert Influence Quiz — Take Howie's free quiz to identify gaps in your influence flywheel.

Today, host Meg Rentschler dives into the idea of “the thing beneath the thing,” those deeper beliefs and stories that are really driving our clients' surface-level issues. Meg talks about some common traps coaches can fall into, like jumping too quickly into action steps, assuming “I don't know” means a client is being resistant, or relying too much on spotting patterns. She also shares some down-to-earth tips for slowing things down, asking questions that are easier for clients to answer, and staying genuinely curious. Tune in to hear Meg's main point about real, lasting change for clients not coming from just fixing the problems they bring to the table, and helping them discover and explore the stories and beliefs that are really at play underneath it all.Show Highlights:What I mean by “the thing beneath the thing”: The belief or self-story generating why the problem feels the way it doesContent vs. meaning-making (“Depth before Doing”)The trap of moving to action too fast (It produces compliance, not durable change.)Reasons coaches rush to action“I don't know” is rarely a dead end.Meet “Dana,” a hypothetical client (the key is to meet her where she is).Six practical moves for going deeper and expanding the lens: Ask about the story, ask what it means about them, name the energy shift, ask where the belief came from, slow down what they try to skip past, and resist the urge to solve too soon.Focus on belief and pattern work, not clinical trauma processing.The curiosity muscle vs. the knowing muscle frameworkResources:Connect with MegExplore our mentor program!

Mentioned in this episode:Mentor ProgramIf you're working toward your ACC or PCC credential, or if it's time to recertify your ACC mentor, coaching isn't just a requirement on a checklist. It's one of the most transformative investments you can make in yourself and your coaching. I've taught or mentored over 2000 coaches, and I hear the same thing again and again. I came because I had to, and I am so glad that I did. Coaches tell me they walk away with renewed energy, deeper confidence and a community of peers who genuinely support each other. Here's what you need to know right now. Mentor coaching must span a minimum of three months, so the time to start is not when your credential is just about to expire. And if you complete your hours in 2026, you get ahead of the upcoming ICF changes, which means peace of mind along with skill development. My fall cohort is already filling up. Every group is capped at ten. It's small, personal, and powerful. If you've been waiting for the right time, this is it. So head over to Star Coach Show.
