This episode is for a very specific type of person. Those of you who are hard on yourself, and if you're being honest, it's to an unhealthy degree. The perfectionist who struggles to recognize their own accomplishments, who tears themselves apart over minor slip-ups, and maybe even finds it hard to fully celebrate the wins of others. Not because of jealousy, but because the voice in your head has been trained to fixate on what's missing instead of what's been earned. Maybe you're not wired this way all the time, but after a big achievement, you felt... nothing. Maybe even a little depressed that it didn't feel like more. We know many of you in our audience fall into one of these camps—and this episode is for you. Here's a little premeditated tough love: at some point, it has to be good enough. So how do we move past this all-or-nothing mentality we'll never win? How can we celebrate our accomplishments without dulling our edge? In this episode, Brett breaks down: The 70% Rule—it's immeasurable value and how it can be applied in both creative work and business How to celebrate milestones while preserving the lessons from when you fell flat on your face Who drains your joy, how to cut them out, and the hard truth: you might be doing it to others too Ways to be your own hype man without softening your edge Practical tools for when you hate your own work—and how to get to the root of why that happens During the episode, Brett opened up about the various challenges he's faced while writing his new book.

Why can't someone else step up and do this? How come I'm always the one who has to do everything? What more do I have to do before someone finally takes some initiative? If you've ever asked yourself these questions—or just quietly felt them—you're not alone. That heavy sense of responsibility, the emotional and cultural weight of having to carry your team day after day, will wear you down. And if you don't have a plan to offload that burden and bring others into ownership, it's only a matter of time before burnout sets in. But what do you do when some team members aren't exactly charismatic—or worse, seem like they're only halfway committed? This episode hits close to home, pulled straight from a challenge one of our mentoring clients has been facing for years. It's also something Brett knows firsthand. In this episode, we'll cover: The main shortcoming of servant-based leadership, and how to overcome it How to diagnose energy leaks in your ecosystem before they push you into burnout The 3 types of energy brokers on your team—and how to actually get contributions from each How to create a system of shared ownership and delegate tasks based on real strengths Leading strategically by removing barriers and making sure you're not the one holding the team back You Do Everything for Everyone.

Chris Gheysens is chairman and chief executive officer of Wawa, a chain of more than 1,100 convenience stores in nine states across the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast regions of the U.S. and Washington, D.C. Wawa is a family- and associate-owned, privately held company with more than 45,000 associates serving almost two million customers every day. The company began in New Jersey in the early 1800's as an iron foundry and a cotton and textile mill and moved to Pennsylvania with the opening of a dairy plant in 1902. The original dairy was built in a rural section of Pennsylvania called “Wawa,” which was named by Native Americans to honor a favored game – the Canada goose. As home delivery of dairy declined and supermarkets became more abundant in the early 1960s, the concept to open Wawa convenience stores became a reality with the first in Folsom, Pa., in 1964. Gheysens, who's been with Wawa for more than 27 years, was previously chief financial and administrative officer with responsibility for all financial, legal and human resource functions. Prior to joining Wawa, Gheysens was in the audit practice at Deloitte and Touche, LLP in Philadelphia. A graduate of Saint Augustine Preparatory School in Richland, he earned his Bachelor of Science in Accountancy from Villanova University School of Business and his Master of Business Administration from Saint Joseph's University. Gheysens is a certified public accountant who was awarded an honorary Doctor of Leadership degree and the Beta Gamma Sigma Business Achievement Award from Saint Joseph's University.
Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to Attendance Bias. I am your host Brian Weinstein. After an odd summertime Texas stop in Austin, Phish is keeping us disoriented this year: it's now time for a holiday weekend run in Colorado…but not the one we expect. Instead of the end-of-summer blowout at Dick's over Labor Day Weekend this summer, we are instead celebrating our country's independence with a July 4th weekend party at a college football stadium almost double the size of Dick's: July 3, 4, and 5 at Folsom Field, in Boulder, CO.Today's guest, Bryan from Boulder., has lived in the college town for over 20 years and has a lot to offer Attendance Bias listeners today. While thousands of Phish fans have made Dick's their summer family reunion this year is a change of scenery, not to mention an adjustment to the calendar. When these shows were rumored, and then announced, there were mixed feelings among the fanbase (at least those who made their opinions known online). Bryan explains why there's so much to look forward to in Boulder, and how, in many ways, Folsom Field has a lot to offer, compared to Dick's. But it's not all just a comparison of two Colorado stadiums. There's also the band's history in Boulder, the activities within and around the city, restaurant and brewery recommendations, and more. I think a lot of us are curious about what this run is going to look like, and today's episode might be able to give us some answers to frequently asked Folsom questions.So let's join Bryan from Boulder, longtime resident, to give us the lowdown on what to expect for July 4th weekend at Folsom Field in Boulder, Colorado.
mber Garza has had a passion for the written word since she was a child making books out of notebook paper and staples. Her hobbies include reading and singing. Coffee and wine are her drinks of choice (not necessarily in that order). She writes while blaring music, and talks about her characters like they're real people. She lives with her husband and two kids in Folsom, California, which is also home to another Amber Garza.VOX VOMITUS: Sometimes, it's not what goes right in the writing process, it's what goes horribly wrong.Host Jennifer Anne Gordon, award-winning gothic horror novelist and Co-Host Allison Martine, award-winning contemporary romance and speculative fiction novelist have taken on the top and emerging new authors of the day, including Josh Malerman (BIRDBOX, PEARL), Paul Tremblay (THE PALLBEARERS CLUB, SURVIVOR SONG), May Cobb (MY SUMMER DARLINGS, THE HUNTING WIVES), Amanda Jayatissa (MY SWEET GIRL), Carol Goodman (THE STRANGER BEHIND YOU), Meghan Collins (THE FAMILY PLOT), and dozens more in the last year alone.

Everything is okay at work, but… yeah, work is fine—I just don't know what I'm going to do. We've all felt like that at some point in our careers. Maybe you're in that place right now. Call it a rut, stagnation, or just a funk. You're motivated. You're grateful. But you also want more. More fulfillment, more autonomy, maybe even a title change and a bigger office. You want to feel like your strengths are being seen and put to use. When that doesn't happen, dissatisfaction can start to seep into everything else—negatively impacting your mental health and personal life. So what do you do with that? In this short episode, Brett breaks down how to get (and stay) unstuck, move forward with intention, and take ownership without letting that ugly feeling of bitterness creep in. What You'll Learn: Why the premortem matters and how it keeps you from crashing Getting out of the entitlement trap around promotions How to discuss feelings of stagnation with leadership while still holding yourself accountable Establishing your non-negotiables to keep your head clear and your sanity intact Your need to decompress and the key elements required to truly unplug Come See Us at a Live Event!

We've all felt it. That awkward disconnect when the vibe is off and you're wondering how you ended up across the table from someone who just isn't where you are. Maybe you're in different stages of life, chasing different things, or just not clear on what the other actually wants. Whatever the reason, the moment hits: this isn't it. It's not easy to find someone emotionally mature enough to show up. Someone who isn't hiding behind the damage of past relationships or stuck reliving the pain of a breakup they never really moved on from. And even harder? Finding someone willing to do the work, to build something real, instead of ghosting or bailing the minute things get remotely tough or inconvenient. But this isn't just an episode for people looking for love. It's about communication, emotional availability, and knowing what you bring to the table—because relationships, romantic or not, reveal a lot about who we are and how we lead. In this episode, Brett gets personal and delivers the truth about: Confronting our cultural epidemic of “busy” and what it's really masking When a relationship is worth fixing—and when to let it go How to assess emotional and logistical availability (for them and for you) Protecting your self-worth from people who chip away at it bit by bit. Why dating apps thrive in the same way every addictive algorithm does *BONUS* Brett's best dating advice: simple but far from easy Coming Later This Year – The (Im)perfect Relationship Course If this episode hit home, there's more where that came from. Hop on the waitlist here to be the first to know when doors open.

We've all been hit by it. It seemingly comes out of nowhere—a misunderstanding or argument we never saw coming. One moment you're having a discussion, the next you're blindsided by resistance, vitriol, or passive-aggressive blowback. Where did it come from? Why did something small suddenly feel so personal? Here's the truth: it's rarely about the thing—it's about what the thing represents. Control. Trust. Identity. Relevance. Fear. A loss of autonomy. There's always something else simmering under the surface. And if you want to be effective in high-stakes conversations or high-pressure environments, you have to be able to read those underlying signals, not just bulldoze with logic. In this episode Brett unpacks exactly how to do that and covers: How to diagnose the real reason behind someone's resistance Why linking your message to their character is more effective than chasing compliance How to foster autonomy by making it feel like their idea Why perception, not logic, is the real engine of influence and leadership What drives people to defend their identity and internal narrative at all costs

Combat Veteran Turned Motivational Speaker In this week's powerful episode from Team Never Quit, Marcus and Melanie meet with Evangelo “Vann” Morris—a retired Navy Lieutenant Commander, global speaker, and devoted patriot whose service spans over 30 years across the military and government sectors. From humble beginnings in Folsom, Louisiana, to elite missions across 45 countries, Vann's journey is a masterclass in resilience, leadership, and purpose. Vann began his career aboard nuclear-powered submarines, receiving intensive training in nuclear propulsion and thermonuclear weaponry before commissioning as an officer. As a Naval leader, he directed high-risk Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) missions in volatile waters, including a record-setting Colombian drug seizure of 14 metric tons of cocaine. His distinguished career includes deployments on nearly every type of Navy vessel—from aircraft carriers to submarines—and pivotal roles at the Pentagon, Afghanistan with the 82nd Airborne, and U.S. Special Operations Command (SOCOM). In his final assignments, he served as Combat Systems Officer, Anti-Terrorism Officer, and Tactical Action Officer aboard the USS McCampbell. Since retiring in 2014, Vann has continued to serve by mentoring Special Operations Forces as an Information Operations Subject Matter Expert. He's also a passionate public speaker, dedicated to honoring veterans and inspiring the next generation with the enduring message of freedom. In this episode, we discuss: Life aboard a ballistic missile submarine Lessons learned from serving alongside the 82nd Airborne and SOCOM How public speaking became his next mission field Connect with the legacy. Be inspired by the leadership. Learn from the life of Evangelo “Vann” Morris. In This Episode You Will Hear: • I'm one of 16 kids on my biological mother's side, and one of 8 kids on my biological father's side. (6:09) • My mother was a sharecropper in Selma, Alabama. (11:47) • [my brother] Martin was riding on a bike with his big brother. They were crossing the street to get to a general store. As they were crossing the street, here came a car. Within a second, the car was on them. It broke both of [my big brother's] s legs. He was almost able to do it, but the car clipped his legs broke both of his legs. The car hit Martin, broke his back, snapped his neck and went up into the air, came down, bled out, and died immediately. The car kept going. Our mother was notified, and we never knew what happened. (13:28) • In my 2nd year as a seventh grader, I was chatty in class and the teacher said: “You see son this is why you're not gonna be anything in life. This is why you're gonna be a total failure. As a matter of fact, you're not gonna do any better than your dad. (15:58) • The commanding officer starts talking. I called you [twelve] here today to let you know that your grades are phenomenal, your physical fitness test – through the roof, and your attitudes are exactly what we're looking for. I want all of you to consider becoming a commissioned officer. (28:09) • I had a metamorphosis of the mind. A paradigm shift had happened in my life. And all of the sudden, what had happened to my big brother - back broken, neck snapped – forgiven; The teacher telling me to go out and bale hay – forgiven, the other teacher saying I'd never be anything and be worse than my father – forgiven. These guys were saying something very different. Goodness overcame all the bad things that had happened. (28:53) • I'm taking trauma, and I'm channeling it to purpose. (30:27) •I really believe that when we die – if we should make it to heaven, I believe that God will take us personally, take us under his arms and say “Let me show you all the people you impacted and knew nothing about.” (32:19) • You're gonna have tough times. Don't think you'll understand why people are putting you to work in a certain kind of way. (41:39) • There's no more dangerous place than to have warfare in the mind. (41:49) • Don't give up. (42:21) • Hard work pays off. You can't give up. (53:19) • Even if the reward is not coming to you, and if you are in a position to help them, for the love of God, Help them. (55:28) • [Melanie] “A lot of times, when we're in a dark spot, we're in our own bubble, and we don't think anybody else sees the work we put in.” (57:12) • [I told my son] Listen: you can go in the Air Force, you can go to the Marines, you can go to the Army. Just remember this. That Navy paycheck is what fed you. (61:40) • I am really on a mission to be part of that wave to heal America. (68:48) • I need to honor the veterans and those who have served.

Why is talking about money so hard? An even better question might be: why do so many job postings treat compensation like a state secret—vague, unclear, or completely absent? The truth is, people want to know they'll be respected and valued. If you leave them guessing, they'll start looking elsewhere. In Part 1 of this hiring series, we covered how to attract the right candidates. In Part 2, we dug into asking the right questions during interviews. In Part 3, we're focusing entirely on compensation, because how you talk about pay tells a story about how you value people. In this episode, Brett breaks down: The 3 most common ways companies list compensation—and how to determine which is right for you How to shift people away from obsessing over base salary and toward the bigger picture of total value Creative ways to incentivize your team without blowing up your budget How to foster loyalty and stop roles from becoming revolving doors If you need further assistance with this topic or anything else involving your business, visit artofcoaching.com/mentor, we'd love to help.

Danny Trejo holds the record for most on-screen deaths by an actor. His go-to role is the bad guy – the baddest guy. The guy you do not mess with. And for the first 25 years of his life, he was that guy for real. He led a life of violence and drugs that landed him in just about every hardcore prison in California, including Folsom and San Quentin. On the inside, he ran the gym, the drugs, and protection rackets. And then one day, the tables turned and Danny Trejo was the one who needed protection. After the dust settled on a bloody prison riot, Trejo found himself staring down the death penalty.

In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host Jeff Crank talks with Sarah Norberg, a determined citizen from Folsom, California, who joined forces with a small group of like-minded individuals to defeat a proposed permanent sales tax increase in their city. Armed with limited resources but a lot of grit, Sarah's group—dubbed the "Folsom Four"—took on well-funded proponents of the tax, including influential unions and developers. Sarah shares how they used creativity, grassroots tactics, and sheer determination to rally the community against the odds. From delivering yard signs to crafting compelling arguments for the voter guide, the group's efforts led to a decisive victory, with voters rejecting the tax increase despite being outspent nearly 20-to-1. This David vs. Goliath story highlights the power of grassroots activism and serves as a blueprint for ordinary citizens to make an extraordinary impact in their communities. Tune in for lessons on how you can stand up for fiscal responsibility and make your voice heard!
