If you've ever skipped a workout because you “just didn't know what to do” — this episode is for you. We're diving deep into the real reason so many women struggle with consistency when it comes to movement. Spoiler: it's not laziness, lack of willpower, or needing more motivation. It's decision fatigue, nervous system overload, and not having a plan that actually supports your body, energy, and goals. In this episode, you'll learn: ✨ The energetics behind planning + why it creates consistency ✨ How prepping your workouts removes guilt, pressure, and overwhelm ✨ 3 pillars of creating an aligned, flexible workout plan ✨ Real-life strategies to make movement feel doable again ✨ Why this is especially important for women healing their core + pelvic floor We also talk about why so many women need more than “just follow this random YouTube video” and how our nervous system craves structure with flexibility. You deserve a plan that meets you where you are — and moves you forward with purpose.

What if grief isn't something to "get over," but a biological process that reshapes your sense of self, capacity, and connection? In this episode, co-hosts Elisabeth Kristof and Jennifer Wallace are joined by Piper Rose—founder of Shadowplay Coaching and Director of Operations and Continuing Education at NSI—to explore grief through the lens of neuroscience and the body. Together, they examine how the brain and body respond to major transitions, why sensations like heaviness or ache are part of adaptive prediction, and how practices that mobilize breath, voice, and thoracic movement can support your physiology's innate ability to heal. You'll hear why grief looks different for everyone—from action-oriented logistics to relational sharing—and how both are valid paths. The conversation moves through the concept of a minimum effective dose for grief work, the overlap between pain and emotional circuits, the role of co-regulation, and why meaning-making often comes later in the process. Anger and sacred rage also get their space here—alongside pathways back to nourishment.  Whether you're navigating loss, identity transitions, or the transformations that come with growth, this episode offers grounded language, body-based tools, and community-centered practices to help you fall apart, be held, and reform with greater capacity. Timestamps: 00:00 — Grief as a physiological process, not a problem to fix 06:30 — How the brain maps grief: interoception, prediction, pain circuits 14:10 — Two grief styles: action orientation and expressive processing 21:40 — Minimum-effective-dose grief practice and daily resourcing 29:00 — Anger inside grief, sacred rage, and safe expression 36:20 — Belonging, co-regulation, and being held by people or the earth 44:15 — Timing of meaning-making and avoiding premature silver linings 51:00 — Practical ways to start: personal, relational, and community supports Key Takeaways: Grief is an adaptive social-threat response that updates your body's internal maps. The same networks tied to physical pain can interpret loss, which is why grief can ache. People grieve differently. Action and expression are both valid pathways. Small, repeatable practices help build capacity without overwhelm. Co-regulation and clear support reduce isolation and soften protective patterns.

Episode 263 of the Fit Father Project Podcast is an uplifting conversation with member David Kilburn. During the chat, David explains how years of “I'll do it myself” finally gave way to a structured container and real accountability. He talks about joining FFP Foundations, making friends in the chat, and how that daily check-in pressure helped him walk past office donuts and shut down late-night snacking. We get practical with the exact swaps that fit his busy Wednesdays, what daily weigh-ins taught him about carb choices, and how planning ahead for holidays and birthdays turns food from a trigger into a conscious choice.We also cover how he navigated a sudden back issue—shifting to walking and core work without abandoning the plan—and the non-scale wins that keep him motivated (belt holes, looser 38s, more evening energy with the kids). David's advice for new members is simple: focus on nutrition, show up in the chat, accept support, and keep going the day after an imperfect one. His next targets: rebuild to heavier lifts, drop under 200, and continue trading “reactive” for “proactive” in every area of life.Key TakeawaysAccountability beats willpowerDaily chat check-ins turned temptations into conscious choices.“Plan it, don't wing it”Late-night snacking fixesWeigh daily, learn faster: the scale became feedback to calibrate carbs—not a judgment.Train through setbacksHolidays/birthdays without guilt: decide in advance, enjoy intentionally, return to baseline next meal.Start simple: dial nutrition first, lean on the community, and focus on the next right action.Lasting Strength, Less Joint Strain - SUJIIf you want to learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.BEAM Minerals—feel the differenceLearn about Beam Minerals and what they can do for your health at beamminerals.com/fitfamily.

The ACTUAL process. TANGIBLE.✅ The 4 pillars of scaling: energy, identity, foundations, and embodiment✅ Why cleaning up your subconscious programming and shadows is non-negotiable for business success✅ How to create YOUR signature copyrighted process (not steal someone else's)✅ Why group coaching scales and 1:1 doesn't✅ How to run high-standard containers where people actually get results✅ The difference between authentic embodiment and performing✅ Self-leadership and decision-making like a CEO✅ How to be magnetic by operating from conviction and clarity✅ My journey from $100 VA business to 7-figure global brand (the REAL story)You THINK you're scaling but you're actually just burning out.You're asking EVERYONE else what to do, offering free clarity calls, and making decisions from fear and lack.You're adding more 1:1 clients. Posting more content. Working harder.That's not scaling. That's suffering.

This week is a breather, my loves. The energy softens after the chaos we've just moved through. The Moon is doing the most on Monday, but overall this is a week to slow down, reset, and let things settle. Jupiter stations retrograde and we see a shift in momentum that could actually work in our favor. Mercury and Mars link up for their second pass, picking up a story from late October, but the full chapter won't be told until January. Let yourself rest, reflect, and integrate. Foundations are forming even if it feels quiet. The universe is preparing us for the next big launch.

Foundations of Amateur Radio If you use a word often enough it starts to lose its meaning. The other day, during breakfast, well, coffee, whilst playing one of our start-the-day with a smile word games, the word "RADIO" turned up. I grinned and pointed out that this was my favourite word, to which my partner mentioned that in Italian, it's referred to as "La Radio", which made us both wonder where it actually came from, did the Italian language import the word, or export it, given that Guglielmo Marconi was Italian? A quick search advised us that it came from Latin, radius, meaning "spoke of a wheel", "beam of light" or "ray". Fully enlightened we finished our coffee and got on with our day .. except I couldn't stop thinking about this. Having recently spent some quality time looking into the history of the RF Circulator, I figured searching the patent records might be a solid way to get some handle on where this word "radio" came from. Initially Google Patent search unearths the oldest as being from 1996, not very helpful. Adding 1900 as the end date filter turns up a radio cabinet patent with a filing date of 1833, except that it was published and granted in 1931, which is confirmed by the patent itself. This level of corruption in the data affects at least a dozen patents, but I daresay that there's plenty more like that. 1857 turns up a patent with the word "broadcasting", in the context of "broadcasting guano", so, nothing much has changed in nearly 170 years, but I digress. Adding quotes to the search term unearths a patent from 1861, apparently iron roads, locomotives, large slopes and small radio curves relates to the other meaning of the word radius, in Spanish. 1863 gives us ruffle stitching, "made upon the radio", but the patent is so corrupt that it's pretty much unreadable. 1871 unearths an electromagnetic engine, but the text has so much gibberish that I suspect that the word "radio" is a happy accident. 1873 shows us a "Wireless signalling system", bingo, the patent shows us transmitter and receiver circuits, antennas, messages and frequencies and a whole bunch of relevant radio information, except that the date on the patent itself is 1919. And you wonder why people argue about who invented what when? I'll spare you the gas apparatus, petrol lamps with cigar cutter, running gear for vehicles and bounce to 1897, "Method of and apparatus for converting x-rays into light for photographic purposes", the first occurrence of "radio", in the form of "radiograph", complete with pictures of the bones of a hand drawn meticulously from presumably an x-ray. I confess I'm not convinced. Using the United States Patent and Trademark Office search for the word radio gives you 54,688 pages with 2.7 million records, ordered in reverse chronological order with no way to skip to the last page. The World Intellectual Property Organisation finds the same Spanish iron paths patents, but unearths "A Differential Arrangement for Radio Controlled Race Cars" from 1900, but inside we discover it's really from 1979. Seems this level of corruption is endemic in the patent field, wonder who's benefiting from this misinformation? Meanwhile, still looking, I discovered the Oxford English Dictionary, which claims that the earliest known use of the word "radio" is in the 1900's, but the earliest evidence is from 1907 in a writing by "L. De Forest", but you are granted the privilege of paying them to actually see that evidence .. really? On 18 July 1907, Lee de Forest, made the first ship-to-shore transmissions by radiotelephone, which adds some credence to the claim, but I have to tell you, I'm not particularly convinced. Taking a different approach, starting at Guglielmo Marconi, his first efforts in 1894 showed the wireless activation of a bell on the other side of the room. Six months later he managed to cross 3 kilometres realising that this could become capable of longer distances. The Italian Ministry of Post and Telegraphs didn't respond to his application for funding, so in 1896, at the age of 21, moving to Great Britain, he arrived in Dover where the customs officer opened his case to find various apparatus, which were destroyed because they could be a bomb. Lodging a patent "Improvements in Transmitting Electrical impulses and Signals, and in Apparatus therefor", was the first patent for a communication system on radio waves. It was granted a year later. One problem. It doesn't have the word "radio" in it, instead it talks about "a Hertz radiator", so close. So, we've narrowed it down to somewhere between 1896 and 1907, that's an 11 year window. Some observations. De Forest founded a company called "the Radio Telephone And Telegraph Company". It's unclear exactly when this happened, it collapsed in 1909 and was founded after disagreement with management of his previous company, apparently on 28 November 1906. A quick aside, apparently in 1881, Alexander Graham Bell used the word radiophone for the first time, which he used to refer to a system that used light to transmit wirelessly, he also referred to it as a photophone. You could argue that because light and radio are the same thing, this is the first legitimate use of the word "radio" in the context of communication, but I'm not buying it. I'll leave you with the discovery that on 30 December 1904, the British Post Office published a "Post Office Circular" with the instructions to use the word "Radio" in the service instructions, think of it as the metadata associated with a telegram. This information has been repeated often without evidence. If you're keen, the Postal Museum is located in Phoenix Place, London. I've contacted them to see if that particular Circular is in their possession. Amazingly the "Post Office Circulars" have been digitised between 1666 and 1899. So close, but no cigar, that said, I looked for the elusive Volume 7 of the set to see if there were any straggling references to "radio", but couldn't confirm this. The Postal Museum Catalogue returns plenty of early references to radio, but it's hard to tell what's real and what's written after the fact. Anyone know of any research grants that will allow me to dig into this on-site, feel free to get in touch, oh, a bed would be good too .. I think this might take a while. At the moment, the best I have is an uncorroborated "30 December 1904" for the origin of the word "Radio", in English, in other words, it was imported into Italian. No sign of Marconi, Bell, or De Forest. I'm Onno VK6FLAB

Far too many investors seek out advice and chase ROI without realizing how much bias and hidden costs are influencing their decisions. Pay-to-play is very common in the mastermind space, but there is one community that has a different set of rules.I've been a member of many mastermind groups over the years, and that's why I want to highlight what sets the Lifestyle Investor communities apart from the rest. What started as a handful of friends talking shop and sharing deals over a glass of wine has become one of the fastest-growing investment communities in the world.Today, I'm joined by Ryan Casey, Chief Operating Officer of The Lifestyle Investor, to pull back the curtain on how our communities have evolved into a global ecosystem with world-class due diligence, exclusive deal flow, and unforgettable live event experiences around the world.You'll hear how we've redefined the way people build wealth. From eliminating bias in investing and spending upwards of $300k/year on vetting and due diligence, to creating programs like our Foundations group for young adults, the Open Community for new investors, and even a financial literacy book for kids.Whether you're just starting your wealth journey or scaling into financial freedom, this episode shows how to build a life designed around freedom, purpose, and the people you love.In this episode, you'll learn: 1.) How we've built an investment ecosystem that is the opposite of a “pay-to-play” group and helps our members avoid costly mistakes with industry leading experts and strategies.2.) The difference between our four communities—Lifestyle Investor, Tribe of Investors, Foundations, and the Open Community—and how to know which one's right for you.3.) How we're empowering families to build wealth across generations through mentorship, education, and actionable investment frameworks.Show Notes: LifestyleInvestor.com/263Tax Strategy MasterclassIf you're interested in learning more about Tax Strategy and how YOU can apply 28 of the best, most effective strategies right away, check out our BRAND NEW Tax Strategy Masterclass: www.lifestyleinvestor.com/taxStrategy Session For a limited time, my team is hosting free, personalized consultation calls to learn more about your goals and determine which of our courses or masterminds will get you to the next level.

Hasan Rizvi, EVP, Database Engineering, Oracle, talks to Bob Evans in this latest episode of Cloud Wars Live. They explore the launch of Oracle AI Database 26ai, the Autonomous AI Lakehouse, and breakthroughs in multi-cloud deployment. Rizvi also discusses vector search, agentic AI, and how Oracle is simplifying complex architectures for the AI era. It's a compelling look at how Oracle is reshaping enterprise data strategy for the age of AI.Oracle's Next-Gen Data StrategyThe Big Themes:AI Demands a Modern Data Foundation: As AI shifts operations from human scale to machine speed, enterprises must ask: “Is my data foundation ready?” Without intelligent data structures, comprehensive access, real‑time performance, and strong security, organizations will struggle to compete. The introduction of Oracle AI Database 26ai is positioned as that foundation. The urgency of this shift is clear: companies that delay risk being left behind.Agentic AI and Vectors Come to the Enterprise Database: Generative AI and autonomous agents require new data types and workflows. Oracle has built vector data types and vector indexes into the database so enterprises can perform similarity search, retrieval‑augmented generation (RAG) and agent workflows directly on their private data. Further, Oracle is enabling annotations (metadata) so LLMs can understand enterprise data schemas, improving accuracy. Finally, agentic workflows (AI that takes action) are supported within the database, reducing data movement, improving performance and strengthening security.Start‑Ups and Established Enterprises Both Benefit: The case study of Retraced (a fashion supply‑chain company) underscores how smaller, agile firms are using Oracle's autonomous AI database to innovate quickly: multi‑datatype support, agentic AI, automatic scaling, and reduced operational overhead. At the same time, Oracle's heritage in mission‑critical enterprise systems means large companies with massive workloads benefit from the same platform. The point: whether you're a start‑up or a Fortune 500, the difference will be how fast you move.The Big Quote: “We really believe that in in the age of AI, where you have to move much faster, you really don't have a choice but to start simplifying your environment. Otherwise, you're going to get left behind."More from Hasan Rizvi and Oracle:Connect with Hasan on LinkedIn and learn more about Oracle AI Database 26ai. Visit Cloud Wars for more.

In this powerful episode of Fund the People's Defend Nonprofits, Defend Democracy series, Rusty sits down with Tonya Allen, President of the McKnight Foundation, to explore how philanthropy can respond to the Trump Administration's War on Charity, and serve as an active force for transformation. Tonya shares her roots in Detroit activism, lessons from community leaders who shaped her understanding of philanthropy as “an active verb,” and her belief that funders must embrace—not shy away from—power to change systems. She urges foundations to reject fear and isolation in the face of political attacks, reminding listeners that “silence isolates, and solidarity shields.”Tonya and Rusty also discuss how McKnight has transformed under her leadership—expanding its grantmaking to historic levels, adopting bold investment and climate commitments, and launching the $5 billion GroundBreak Coalition to build wealth for communities of color in the Twin Cities. She offers candid insights on trust-based philanthropy, supporting nonprofit workers, and how the Unite in Advance initiative is helping the social sector stand strong against coordinated threats. This episode is a master class in courageous, values-driven leadership in philanthropy.Guest Bio:Tonya Allen is a leader and a change agent with a passion for co-creating an equitable, sustainable world. In 2021, she became president of the McKnight Foundation, a Minnesota-based family foundation that advances a more just, creative, and abundant future where people and the planet thrive.In 2024, McKnight granted over $145 million—the highest charitable payout in the Foundation's history at 7 percent of its endowment—in support of equitable communities, a clean energy economy, global food systems, artists and culture bearers, and innovative neuroscience research. Beyond this increase in grantmaking, Tonya has worked to ensure that McKnight uses every tool in its toolbox as a philanthropic organization. In her first year at McKnight, Tonya championed using the Foundation's investments to advance net zero goals, and elevated McKnight's voice and leadership to rebuild Twin Cities neighborhoods and small businesses impacted by Covid-19 and the 2020 civil unrest. In 2022, Tonya helped launch the GroundBreak Coalition, an ambitious, multi-sector effort to close wealth gaps in Minneapolis-St. Paul. In 2023, GroundBreak announced nearly $1 billion in commitments towards its goals.Prior to joining McKnight, Tonya served as president and CEO of The Skillman Foundation, and as a program officer at the Charles Stewart Mott and Thompson McCully foundations. She was a co-founder and architect of Detroit Children's Fund, and the founder and director of Detroit Parent Network.Similar Episodes:MacArthur President Chooses Courage, Not Quiet – with John Palfrey, MacArthur FoundationNonprofits, the U.S. Constitution & the ACLU – with Mike Zamore, ACLUEpisode Links:Tonya Bio and Headshot.McKnight's “All in On Mission” blog postTonya's essay "Why We Increased Our Giving"Unite in Advance Op-Ed in Nonprofit Quarterly Council on Foundations' Sign-On Statement from PhilanthropyInside Philanthropy story on the GroundBreak CoalitionStatement from Tonya following the mass shooting at Annunciation Catholic Church and School in Minneapolis

This conversation explores the intersection of mathematics and human experience, focusing on historical figures, philosophical debates, and the ethical implications of scientific progress. Jason Socrates Bardi discusses his book 'The Great Math War', which delves into the personal stories of mathematicians, the challenges of teaching math, and the relevance of these themes in today's world, particularly in the context of AI and misinformation.Takeaways The personal experiences of mathematicians shape their work. Philosophical clashes in mathematics reflect broader societal issues. Hilbert's optimism about problem-solving parallels today's AI discussions. Historical context is crucial in understanding mathematical developments. Ethics in science must be prioritized to avoid past mistakes. There are limits to human knowledge that we must acknowledge. Mathematics is a fundamental human skill, not just for the gifted. The future of mathematics will be influenced by AI and technology. Understanding historical fallacies can inform current practices. Kovalevsky's story is an inspiring example of overcoming barriers.Chapters 00:00 The Personal Journey Behind The Great Math War 03:08 The Philosophical Clash in Mathematics 05:13 The Great Math War: Key Players and Their Missions 07:38 The Foundations of Mathematics: Paradoxes and Theories 08:55 The Role of Historical Context in Mathematics 10:00 The Human Side of Mathematics: Stories of Resilience 12:36 Ethics in Science and the Modern Age 14:56 The Future of Mathematics and Technology 25:32 The Spectrum of Idealism and Realism 26:13 Understanding Ignoramus et Ignoramnibus 29:04 Neuroscience and the Evolution of Mathematics 33:12 The Future of AI and Consciousness 35:31 Fallacies and Paradoxes in Mathematics 38:31 The Legacy of Sofia Kovalesky 43:10 The Great Math War: A Reflection on Logic and HumanityFollow Jason on LinkedIn, Twitter, and find his new book here.Subscribe to Breaking Math wherever you get your podcasts.Follow Breaking Math on Twitter, Instagram, LinkedIn, Website, YouTube, TikTokFollow Autumn on Twitter, BlueSky, and InstagramBecome a guest hereemail: breakingmathpodcast@gmail.com

We're cutting past the surface talk about "scary thoughts" and diving deep into the neuroscience of what's actually going on. Your client's brain is doing a brilliant, protective job being hypervigilant, but then sleep deprivation, nutritional depletion, and chronic stress turn that protection into a panic spiral. We explain exactly how to spot the difference between a normal thought and pathological Postpartum OCD and, most importantly, how to offer root-cause solutions that stop the nervous system from fueling those terrifying images.

In episode 171 of the Fit Mother Project Podcast, we pull back the curtain on our Belize mission & service trip with two of our past travelers, Erin Bohannon (Fit Mother) and Geoff Rothman (Fit Father). You'll hear why a health and fitness community chooses to serve—channeling the strength we build in the gym into something bigger—as we partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to help construct a safe home for a local mom. We walk through the real flow of the week: simple, clean lodging; breakfasts at the church; hands-on building (from foundation to walls and roof); and shared dinners with local families that deliver deep perspective and joy. We also cover safety (we move as a group and even do morning street workouts), why the build progresses over multiple trips, and how seemingly small contributions (like replacing a church kitchen oven) create outsized impact.We call it “service + adventure” for a reason. After the build, we explore the country's beauty—Mayan sites, snorkeling around Caye Caulker, and even a wooden outdoor “jungle gym.” Families and teens thrive on this trip, finding meaningful roles on site and memories that last. We share dates, costs, and logistics for the next trip (starting June 6, 2026), plus how you can join us or support the project if travel isn't possible. If Belize has been on your heart—or you're ready to put your fitness to work—this conversation will show you exactly what to expect and how to get involved.Key TakeawaysService is the natural next step of vibrant health—use your energy to help others.

Andy Goldman-Gray is a Founder of Nonprofit Strategy Group, "a partnership of experienced, successful nonprofit executives with a full range of expertise and roles, including Executive Director, Chief Advancement Officer, Chief Marketing Officer and Operations." Andy joins the podcast to talk about creative collaborations, including things that may include a merger or acquisition, but also may be sunsetting (closures) or other changes. Host Steve Boland talks with Andy about mission over legal structure and imperative of boards to commit to the success of the missions even if some changes happen in business structures. Nonprofits in a healthy, sound space at the moment could be taking this time to assess their immediate partners and consider impacts of not all of them are as healthy or if they may have different challenges. Formal and informal collaborations strongly relies on trust-building, so Andy recommends boards and staff think about early conversations to build trust with potential partners. Foundations and other funders and considering funding for the work of collaboration, so consider checking to see if some additional dollars may help prioritize these conversations. There is much more in the full conversation, so give a listen!

In episode 262 of the Fit Father Project Podcast, we pull back the curtain on our Belize mission & service trip with two of our past travelers, Erin Bohannon (Fit Mother) and Geoff Rothman (Fit Father). You'll hear why a health and fitness community chooses to serve—channeling the strength we build in the gym into something bigger—as we partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to help construct a safe home for a local mom. We walk through the real flow of the week: simple, clean lodging; breakfasts at the church; hands-on building (from foundation to walls and roof); and shared dinners with local families that deliver deep perspective and joy. We also cover safety (we move as a group and even do morning street workouts), why the build progresses over multiple trips, and how seemingly small contributions (like replacing a church kitchen oven) create outsized impact.We call it “service + adventure” for a reason. After the build, we explore the country's beauty—Mayan sites, snorkeling around Caye Caulker, and even a wooden outdoor “jungle gym.” Families and teens thrive on this trip, finding meaningful roles on site and memories that last. We share dates, costs, and logistics for the next trip (starting June 6, 2026), plus how you can join us or support the project if travel isn't possible. If Belize has been on your heart—or you're ready to put your fitness to work—this conversation will show you exactly what to expect and how to get involved.Key TakeawaysService is the natural next step of vibrant health—use your energy to help others. We partner with Koinonia Ministries in Orange Walk to build a safe home for Romani and her kids. Expect simple, clean lodging; daily construction; shared meals; and rich cross-cultural connection. Families and teens thrive on this trip (safe, supervised, real work that matters). We mix in adventure—Mayan temples, Caye Caulker snorkeling, and the outdoor “jungle gym.” If you can't come, donating (and employer matches) makes a huge impact.Better Belize It - June 2026!Website: https://www.fitfatherproject.com/belize-mission-trip/Lasting Strength, Less Joint Strain - SUJIIf you want to learn more about the Suji portable compression training device, visit https://www.trysuji.com/ and use code FITFATHER for 20% off your first order.Join Fit Father LIVE in 2026!Fit Father / Fit Mother LIVE 2026 — August 7–9, 2026 Super Early Bird pricing now through Dec. 1.

Send us a textOpening a salon can be one of the most exciting and overwhelming decisions in your career. It's easy to get caught up in the aesthetic side of things: paint colors, décor, logos, and brand vibes. But the truth is, those are the least important decisions you'll make. What determines whether your salon thrives or becomes a financial and emotional burden comes down to the foundations you build before you ever pick up a paintbrush.In this episode, we walk through a real planning process behind opening a salon you'll still be proud of years from now. We talk about business structure, pricing strategy, hiring and training, building your systems and standards, and how to set yourself up with the right support network, "your bench," so you aren't trying to figure everything out alone.Whether you're:A stylist dreaming of your own space,A current booth renter thinking of transitioning to ownership,Or a salon owner looking to stabilize or reset your business,This conversation will help you avoid the most common (and painful) mistakes salon owners make. This isn't just about opening a salon — it's about opening one you won't regret.Your business should serve you so that you can serve others.When we build from a position of strength instead of survival mode, we create salons that uplift our clients, our teams, and our lives.Let's build something that lasts!Key TakeawaysStart with foundations (mission/vision/values) before leases or logos.Build your infrastructure and cost model upfront; surprises kill cash flow.Create a living Playbook so standards aren't “assumed.”Price like a business: know breakeven, include profit, review yearly.Hiring ≠ onboarding: map growth paths for each role to reduce churn.Maintain a bench (lawyer, accountant, trades, mentor) to buy speed.Think lifetime value, not single tickets.Hybrid/renter/commission lines blur easily—avoid misclassification traps.Episode Timestamps[00:00] Opening + why early months aren't always “fun” for new stylists[03:00] Lifetime value thinking vs. “$200 today” mindset[06:00] What new owners obsess over (logos/paint) vs what actually matters[07:00] Foundations first: mission, vision, core values → business plan[10:00] Infrastructure checklist: banking, payroll, taxes, software, utilities, insurance[12:00] Distributors, licensing, and aligning products with values[15:00] Write your Playbook: roles, tasks, client issues, emergencies[23:00] Posts & Perspectives: hybrid pitfalls, renter/commission confusion[24:00] Pricing reality: breakeven, profit first, yearly reviews (not $5 bumps)[28:00] People plan: hiring, onboarding, growth paths, retention[31:00] Training cadence: six-month outlines, monthly/annual reviews[33:00] Build your bench: lawyer, accountant, trades, mentor—why speed wins[36:00] Define success & your North Star; plan before you signLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

Dr. Parsley outlines his journey from the Navy to becoming a renowned sleep expert and details his work developing sleep aids for military personnel. The discussion covers stress management techniques, the underestimated value of sleep, and the efficacy of various health modalities, including HeartMath for younger individuals, breathwork, meditation, and the potential benefits of psychedelics for trauma recovery. Parsley also discusses his current project in Scottsdale, a comprehensive wellness center aimed at holistic health improvements incorporating technology and lifestyle modifications.   Connect with Dr. Kirk here: Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/sleepremedy/ All Links Sleep Remedy   From Kyle: The Community is coming!
