Podcasts about Focused

You're not losing because you lack talent. You're losing because you're focused on the wrong thing. Most people obsess over results — the money, the body, the relationship, the success. But winners don't worship outcomes. They build systems. In this episode of the Secret to Success Podcast, we break down why focusing on the result keeps you stuck — and how shifting to solution thinking changes everything. If you've been: • Starting strong but falling off • Setting goals but not seeing progress • Working hard but not moving forward • Believing… but still stuck at the 6-yard line This conversation is for you. We dive into: • The difference between victim thinking and architect thinking • Why belief determines your level of commitment • How focusing on solutions restores power over your life • Why consistency without the right system is rehearsed failure • The mental shift that separates dreamers from disciplined winners You don't rise to your goals. You rise to your systems. If you're tired of chasing results and ready to start designing them, this episode will shift your focus.

It's a state that is highly suggestible and directly connected to your subconscious. What you do (or don't do) during this window shapes how your entire day unfolds.I'll walk you through exactly how to set up what I call a "sit spot," the simple tools you can use during this time, and just as importantly... what NOT to do.You'll also learn:▶︎ Why your "productive" morning routine might actually be training your nervous system for fight or flight▶︎ The difference between alpha and beta brainwaves and why it matters for moms▶︎ How just 5 minutes in alpha can give you access to clarity, calm, and peak performance all day▶︎ Practical tips for setting up your sit spot (lighting, sound, environment)▶︎ How to build trust in the process when it feels uncomfortable or unproductive at firstThis isn't about adding more to your plate. It's about letting go of the habits that pull you away from who you actually are, so you can show up as a calmer, more present, more connected version of yourself.RESOURCES▶︎ PEMF Mat: https://tidd.ly/4dMg2pZ ▶︎ Glow Light by Sauna Space: https://sauna.space/inspired ▶︎ Regular Red light bulbs: https://amzn.to/3Q9CZLc ▶︎ Amber book light: https://amzn.to/3SXa3Gx ****************Want a free and meaningful way to support the show?

MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound (FUS) is an FDA-approved treatment option for certain motor symptoms of Parkinson's Disease — particularly medication-refractory tremor and levodopa-induced dyskinesia. But what exactly does it do? And just as importantly — what does it not do? In this episode, I break down: • How MRI-guided Focused Ultrasound works • What part of the brain is targeted • Who may be an appropriate candidate • How it compares to Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) • The risks, limitations, and realistic expectations Focused ultrasound is not a cure for Parkinson's. It does not slow disease progression. But for carefully selected patients, it can meaningfully reduce specific motor symptoms.

Are you focused — or just telling yourself a good story? There's a difference, and most people never stop long enough to notice it. I've been there too. I built an app last week when I had a completely different project sitting right in front of me. Classic move. The real problem isn't that you can't focus. You can focus just fine. The problem is you're focused on the wrong thing — and you've got a pretty convincing story to justify it. In this episode, we dig into what honest focus actually looks like and why getting there changes everything. Featured Story I was sitting at my computer around three o'clock on a Thursday afternoon when a friend mentioned how he'd built an app. I said, I can do that. Ninety minutes later, I had my daily awareness diary online. I was pumped. Got up the next morning at four o'clock — couldn't wait to keep going. Spent hours tidying it up. Loved every minute of it. But here's what I had to admit: it wasn't the project I needed to be working on that week. My wife walked by, gave me the look, and kept moving. She knew. And honestly? So did I. That's burying the lead — and I catch myself doing it more than I'd like. Important Points You're not stuck or blocked or broken — you're just focused on the wrong thing, and that's completely fixable. Burying the lead in your own life means talking around what you actually want instead of just saying the thing. The moment you stop decorating the story and name the real thing out loud, your life can shift in a matter of hours. Memorable Quotes You're not distracted — you're focused on something you think you want to be focused on. Those are two different things. Stop decorating the story. Say exactly what you want, turn face-first into it, get your butt busy, and just do it. Honest focus means saying the real thing out loud — not the comfortable version that sounds good inside your head. Scott's Three-Step Approach Get honest and name the real thing — not the comfortable version of it, but the actual thing that needs doing. Drop the story you've been telling yourself and put your full, honest focus on that one specific thing right now. Turn face-first into it, get your butt moving, and watch how fast everything around you starts to shift for real.

Whitewater kayaking naturally pulls us into the present moment. When you're paddling a rapid, your senses sharpen, your mind clears, and you're fully focused on the line ahead. But what if you didn't have to wait for a rapid to access that state? In this solo episode of The Discomfort Zone Podcast, I share simple mindfulness and breathwork practices that help paddlers reset their nervous system, quiet negative self-talk, and stay calm and focused — both on the river and in everyday life. These practices come directly from Week 7 of the Mental Agility Mastery 8 Week Course, where participants train their ability to pause, reset, and respond skillfully when things don't go according to plan. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why paddling naturally creates a powerful mindfulness state • How mindfulness helps you reset after a mistake, swim, or missed line • The 5-4-3-2-1 grounding exercise for returning to the present moment • Simple breathwork techniques to regulate your nervous system • How mindful movement strengthens confidence and focus One of the most powerful lessons from the river? Sometimes the most skillful move isn't paddling harder. It's embracing the pause.

I had reorganized my entire desktop, watched a 45-second video about how saltwater pools work, started a note titled "content ideas october" even though it was March, and looked up whether fennec foxes make good pets.The one email I sat down for? Still open. Still unread.That is ADHD time blindness. And if that was uncomfortably specific, this episode is for you.

4. David K. Randall, *The Monster's Bones: The Discovery of T-Rex and How It Shook Our World*. Between 1904 and 1910, Barnum Brown focused on recovering the missing pieces of the T-Rex skeleton in Hell Creek. He was initially supported by his wife, Marian Raymond, but her sudden death from scarlet fever in 1910 left him emotionally shattered. To cope with his grief, Brown worked in the harsh conditions of the Red River Valley in Canada. The museum finally mounted the full T-Rex exhibit in 1915, accompanied by Charles Knight's immersive paintings that brought prehistoric landscapes to life. Brown lived until 1963, leaving behind a legendary status as the man who discovered the world's most famous predator. (4)HELICOPRON

Many of us feel disconnected from where our food comes from, yet the journey from soil to plate has a profound impact on our bodies, our communities, and even our emotional health.

Have you been living within a role for years—only to wonder if there is more of you still waiting to be known? For decades, Becky Allender stood faithfully behind the scenes, supporting Dan's work, praying as an intercessor, helping build what would become the Allender Center. Yet she also carried the ache of being "in the room" without fully feeling she had a seat at the table. In today's conversation, she names the cost of that tension, and the courage it took to step forward. When Becky chose to participate in Narrative Focused Trauma Care—the very framework her husband helped create—something began to shift. Through the steady presence of skilled facilitators and courageous companions, she encountered grief she hadn't fully named and discovered a growing kindness toward parts of herself long defended or hidden. What followed was not only personal healing, but relational transformation. Through the language she gained and interactions she experienced, her relationship with Dan deepened. Repair with her daughters became possible. Her love for her parents softened and expanded. And from that engagement with her story emerged a clearer sense of calling—expressed in her teaching, leadership, and her memoir, Hidden in Plain Sight. Perhaps most compelling is this: Becky began this work after decades of marriage, motherhood, and ministry. It was not too late. And it is not too late for you. What might you be missing by staying in the role you've always carried? And what new life could unfold if you trusted that your story is still being written? *This episode mentions an incident of rape; listener discretion is advised. About the Allender Center Podcast: For over a decade, the Allender Center Podcast has offered honest, thoughtful conversations about the deep work of healing and transformation.

With honest stories and actionable frameworks, this episode is a masterclass in leveling up both your coaching business and your personal leadership. Key Topics Covered Finding Your Community & Belonging Karl Bryan reflects on the importance of having a group—a "place to belong"—for business coaches, inspired by a quote from Robert Redford. The monthly happy hour at focus.com creates a safe space where coaches share, connect, and let their guard down, reinforcing the value of community in an otherwise solitary profession. Mindset vs. Identity: Deep Change Explained The difference between improving your mindset and fundamentally redefining your identity. Karl emphasizes that lasting change requires "murdering" your old identity, not just positive thinking. He shares vivid metaphors and personal stories, including tools like the Hoffman Process for confronting limiting beliefs. The Role of Shame in Transformation Karl explains that real breakthroughs begin when you get comfortable with shame. Rather than simply upgrade, you must destroy the old identity that keeps you stuck. Shame becomes a tool for sparking discomfort and motivating action. Fear and Ambition Both hosts get vulnerable about their greatest fears; snakes, stagnation, and not being enough. Karl frames anxiety as the price of ambition, sharing his own life challenges and how busy routines can mask inner turmoil. Financial Concepts Coaches Must Know Karl addresses why revenue is recognized before cash is received, demystifying accrual accounting and the crucial difference between theoretical profit and factual cash. He explains how accounts receivable, organized financials, and cash flow statements are vital for making informed decisions and fixing client money struggles. Practical Steps to Step Into Your New Identity Word association around "identity" leads to a rapid-fire discussion: how to question your beliefs, lose decision fatigue, and use discipline to make progress. Coaches must shame their old, ineffective selves and step into the version that relentlessly serves clients, reaches out daily, and drives real results. Notable Quotes "As a business coach, if you crack it, you are semi-retired for the rest of your life … 20 clients at $2,000 a month, that's $480,000 with 80% margins. You're the top 5% all day long." "You can question anything except something people have built their identity around. When you do, the conversation goes from the topic to their beliefs." "Your mind is designed to keep you safe, not to help you grow, succeed, or become a millionaire." "To upgrade your identity, you have to murder the old coach. Improvement isn't enough." "Anxiety is the price of ambition." "The most powerful man in the room is the one who has nothing to hide." Actionable Takeaways 1. Network and Belong: Join or create communities of like-minded coaches. Attend events, participate in group calls, and seek genuine connection. 2. Question and Redefine Your Identity: Go beyond mindset shifts, identify where you're stuck, shame the ineffective 'old you,' and step into a relentlessly proactive new version. Improvement is incremental; transformation is revolutionary. 3. Face Your Fears and Tell the Truth: Write down your greatest fear in business coaching. Confront it honestly; use it to propel action instead of avoidance. 4. Master Financial Fundamentals: Understand how revenue and cash flow work. Review client accounts receivable, make a list, track aging, and tackle late payments personally. 5. Act, Don't Hide: Stop busy-work. Reach out to 25 prospects a day, host events, send messages, take bold action to serve and attract clients. 6. Serve Before You Sell: Offer value upfront, solve problems for free, and build trust before pitching your services. 7. Use Silence & Meditation: Give yourself space to reflect and reset—whether through meditation, journaling, or solitude.

9. Professor Paul Thomas Chamberlainof Columbia University recounts the November 1941 White House meetingswhere U.S. leaders prepared for an imminent, yet poorly understood, Japaneseattack. He explains that military planners initially focused on the Philippines and discounted a strike on Pearl Harborbecause they underestimated the lethality of aircraft carriers. Chamberlain highlights that this era marked the transition from traditional battleship-centric warfare to the carrier-dominated strategies that would define the Pacific theater.

Mike gets asked to read a lot of books about sales and sales management. Most recently, he read Focused – from his Canadian buddy, sales management expert, and former fantasy football adversary, Steve Rosen. Mike was so blown away that he actually asked Steve if he could provide the foreword and help promote the book. Truly, it was that good. So good, in fact, that this was Mike's visceral reaction… The Bold Statement (from Mike's foreword):  FOCUSED is the single best and most helpful book for sales leaders to be published in years! If you lead a sales team, or lead leaders of sales teams, the introduction to this book will take your breath away. It will stop you in your tracks.  I am serious: Do NOT read FOCUSED unless you are ready to be smacked in the face with the cold, hard truth and willing to address what is arguably the biggest challenge in sales today. Truly, by page 2 my chest tightened as the all-too-real scenarios described by Rosen perfectly depicted exactly what I see every. single. day. in companies where I speak, train, consult and coach. The Big Issue:  Sales managers live in reactive mode, often overwhelmed, and are regularly distracted and diverted from their highest-payoff activities. Rosen not only calls it out, but provides practical help for overcoming this massive challenge. Enjoy this engaging conversation between Steve and Mike. But beware, if you lead a sales team, it may cause you to laugh, cry, or scream.  Be sure to grab the free copy of the Foreword, Table of Contents, and the Introduction that Mike mentions in the episode!

Oura Health, the Finnish wearables company that has sold more than 5 million health tracker rings, is betting on women's health with the launch of its first-ever proprietary large language model designed specifically for women.  “We know historically that women have been underrepresented when it comes to a lot of [medical and pharmaceutical] research,” Tanvi Jayaraman, MD, clinical lead of health AI at Oura, told Glossy. “We want to change that narrative when it comes to women's health.” LLMs are the brains behind AI chatbots, including Oura's in-app Advisor chat where users can ask general wellness questions, specifics about their personal health data or in-depth medical questions.  “Women have been searching for answers [about our health and bodies on the internet] for just as long as the research has been done,” she said. “The answers that [women are] looking for are really disparate and scattered. They're on a niche Reddit forum, or they're kind of word-of-mouth, so a lot of [what we learn online is] hypothesis-driven, data-gathering one-offs.” Starting last year, Dr. Jayaraman's team of board-certified clinicians began “training” Oura's new LLM with only the best data and studies available. This is juxtaposed against many other LLMs, which are trained on the internet at large, which can result in hearsay and causality connections being learned as fact, Dr. Jayaraman said.   “[When we're able to] pick and choose the right training data, the right sources, the right guidelines for women's health, then you can start to push away some of that noise [from the internet],” she said. “Of course, we have a long way to go when it comes to the actual research, but you have to start somewhere.”  Dr. Jayaraman represents a new type of physician who bridges medicine, artificial intelligence and product strategy.  After medical school at Stanford, she worked on AI strategy projects at Bain & Company, working for global diagnostics and pharmaceutical companies, then on Apple's clinical team, where she worked on next-gen digital health tools. She joined Oura last year.  Dr. Jayaraman joined the Glossy Beauty Podcast to discuss Oura's new women-focused LLM, the future of AI-powered wellness chatbots and more.

1. The State of the Iran Conflict The U.S. is in week two of a war with Iran, claiming major military success Iran’s missile and drone capabilities have been nearly eliminated. Iran’s navy has been almost entirely destroyed. The U.S. is using overwhelming force, rapid strikes, and no gradual escalation. 2. U.S. Objectives (as framed in the discussion) The stated goals of “Operation Epic Fury”: Destroy Iran's missile stockpiles, launchers, and weapons manufacturing. Destroy Iran’s navy. Permanently prevent Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons. 3. Justification for War Iran has been at war with the U.S. for 47 years, funding terrorism (Hamas, Hezbollah, Houthis). Iran attempted to assassinate former President Trump and other U.S. officials (Bolton, O’Brien, etc.). This war is described as “America-first,” not about Israel, and responds to direct threats against Americans. 4. Political Framing & Criticism of Opponents Democrats are: Confused in their messaging. Trying to politicize gas prices. Accusing Trump of being manipulated by Israel. Media personalities (notably Tucker Carlson) are heavily criticized for: Alleged pro‑Islamist, anti‑Israel, anti‑American rhetoric. Being amplified by foreign adversaries (Iran, Russia, Muslim Brotherhood). 5. Foreign Influence Qatar is: Funding U.S. universities with $6.6 billion. Supporting Hamas. Influencing American academic and political spheres. 6. Economic Effects Gas prices have risen during the conflict. The increase is temporary. Prices are still much lower than under Biden. If Iran’s regime collapses, oil prices may drop significantly. 7. Vision of the Endgame The conflict will be short, decisive, and not like Iraq or Afghanistan. Expectations: No long-term occupation. No large-scale troop deployment. Focused destruction of hostile infrastructure. Confidence that the Iranian regime might collapse, leading to a more stable region without prolonged war.

In this episode of The Edge of Risk Podcast by IRMI, Joel Appelbaum speaks with Dustin Carlson, president of the 831(b) Institute, about maintaining the credibility and long-term viability of Section 831(b) micro-captives. The discussion centers on Mr. Carlson's three-part series in Captive Insurance Company Reports outlining proposed reforms aimed at addressing practices that have drawn regulatory scrutiny while preserving legitimate captive insurance programs. Mr. Carlson explains how the Section 831(b) election allows small insurance companies to exclude underwriting income up to the statutory premium threshold while remaining taxable on investment gains. He outlines concerns around structures used for estate planning, investments such as life insurance or annuities inside captives, and related-party lending practices. The conversation explores practical policy proposals designed to curb abuses while reinforcing insurance fundamentals—such as proper underwriting, claims processes, and governance practices—to ensure micro-captives remain focused on risk management rather than investment or wealth transfer strategies.

Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into high-performance strategies for business coaches—drawing lessons from Olympic athletes, the psychology of winning, the keys to building (and keeping) momentum, and the art of leveraging staff, referrals, and advertising for exponential business growth. Packed with practical frameworks, real-life stories, and Karl's signature analogies (from roller hockey to dolphins), the episode reveals why elite coaches and businesses succeed—and how listeners can replicate their approach for long-term results. Key Topics Covered The Psychology of Olympic-Level Success Karl Bryan unpacks how the athlete's journey mirrors that of the ambitious business owner or coach—both must manage mindset at the beginning, middle, and end of their journeys. Lessons are drawn from Olympic stories, including Lindsey Vonn's career, transitions, and the psychological challenge of what happens "after the medal." Momentum: How to Build It and Never Lose It Elite performers hit the gas pedal after success, not before. Signing a client? Double down and sign another instead of celebrating too long. Karl shares why consistency outpaces one-time effort, and actionable habits for coaches to lock success rhythms in. Staffing and Leverage for Big Results Big goals require teams—not solo grinds. Karl explains the value of hiring "first-round draft picks" and why one A-player can outperform five mediocre hires. Firmness, not harshness: How to foster high standards and resolve staff conflict with presence, empathy, and accountability. The Power of "Selling Through, Not To" (Joint Ventures) Deep dive into referral and JV strategies: Why working with partners like accountants, business brokers, and promotional companies can 10x (or 50x) your business. Step-by-step: How to structure win-win "test drive" arrangements to gain referrals and scale with minimal cold outreach. Advertising: Shortcut to Growth or Costly Trap? Karl distinguishes between rushed, ineffective "hope" ads and smart, operating-system-led campaigns. Why many business owners should fix their system first, then advertise, and how to teach clients this discipline. Consistency and Demonstrating What You Want to Attract Building disciplined, consistent habits (like daily emails, weekly events) attracts committed, disciplined clients and JV partners over time. Notable Quotes "The elite hit the gas pedal after success. The non-elite celebrate too long." "You have to fall in love with the process, not the destination… If you hit the goal, and you don't have another, you fall backwards." "Don't do your best. Do what it takes." "Your biggest accomplishments will come through other people." "Advertising to profit is a superpower… but it's not a shortcut. You need an operating system first." "Hire slow, fire fast… The one who gets the best player wins the trade." "Demonstrate it, then you'll attract it—discipline is magnetic." Actionable Takeaways Always Set the Next Target: After you land a win—a new client, a successful event, or a JV, don't pause to celebrate. Immediately schedule and line up the next one to keep momentum compounding. Book Events in Batches: If live events work for you, don't book one—book ten at a time. This creates ongoing pressure and forward motion. Hire for Excellence: Treat each team addition as a draft pick. One top performer can be worth a handful of mediocre staff. Cultivate excellence and resolve conflict with empathy, not harshness. Initiate JV 'Test Drives': Approach JV partners (accountants, brokers, ad reps) by solving their biggest pain points—run a no-risk "test drive" for 3 clients and let your results sell you. Don't Rush Advertising: Before running ads, ensure the "operating system" of your business (or client's business) is air-tight—cost control, clarity of offer, and ability to handle leads. Leverage Proximity Marketing: Use lawn signs, "Good Neighbor Programs," and hyper-local advertising for service businesses—it's often the cheapest, most effective form of ad spend. Serve and Demonstrate Consistently: Showing up every week, delivering value, and embodying discipline/consistency will magnetize your ideal business partners and clients. Resources Mentioned Profit Acceleration Software 2.0 (by Karl Bryan)—business coaching's premier toolkit to help maximize client results and command high fees.
