This week we're discussing When Money Problems Keep Knocking You Down. You did everything right this month. You tracked the spending, made the calls, kept the budget as tight as you could. And then something broke. Or a bill arrived that wasn't supposed to. Or the end of the month showed up before the money did. You're tired in a way that's hard to explain to someone who hasn't lived it, but you're not alone in it and you're not failing as a parent. What makes financial stress so relentless for solo parents isn't just the gap between income and expenses. It's that every unexpected hit lands on one set of shoulders. There's no one to split the worry with, no backup plan walking through the door. And over time, that pressure has a way of becoming something more than financial. It starts to feel like a verdict. Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, sits down with Elizabeth Cole, a single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) and single parent, for an honest conversation about what it actually looks like to keep going when the financial ground keeps shifting. All three have lived it, and they bring that experience into a conversation that is equal parts real and hopeful. Key Insights from This Episode: Financial stress is as much an emotional wound as a practical problem -  the feeling of not having enough doesn't just hit your bank account, it hits your sense of self, and understanding that is where resilience starts. Shifting from victim mindset to agency is the beginning of real resilience -  moving from "why does this keep happening to me" to "what can I actually do" is the pivot that changes everything. Reframing hardship as a season, not a sentence, changes what's possible -  the hard chapter you're in right now is not the one that defines how the story ends.

There's a version of success that looks amazing on paper and feels completely empty on the inside. I know because I've talked to a lot of entrepreneurs who chased the number first and the meaning second, and most of them will tell you they got it backwards. This episode is a gut check on that exact thing, recorded on one of our favorite hiking pods out here in Montana.In this episode of The Happy Hustle Podcast, I hike & pod with Brian McMasters, founder of M&M Quality Solutions, a third party logistics company headquartered in Kansas City, Missouri with operations in Salt Lake City and York, Pennsylvania. Brian has been running M&M Quality Solutions for 23 years and has been part of our Happy Hustle community for three of them. He's built his business on a simple, unfashionable idea, that real people beat bots every single time, and that the fastest way to grow a company is to actually care about the people inside it. He's also a husband, a man of deep faith, and someone who's about to release a book on the lessons that took him decades to learn the hard way.What makes this one matter is how honest Brian gets about the cost of chasing money for money's sake. He's not some guru talking theory. He's a guy who built a real logistics company from the ground up, hit the wall that almost every entrepreneur hits, and came out the other side with a totally different definition of what winning actually looks like. If you've ever felt like the hustle was starting to hollow you out instead of fill you up, this conversation is for you.A few things stood out to me that I don't want you to miss.Persistence beats talent every time. Brian says the number one reason he's still standing after 23 years is that he never quit, plain and simple. He calls himself a survivor, and when you remember that most businesses don't even make it past year one, that word means something.Your business should reflect what you actually care about. M&M Quality Solutions started as a pick, pack, and ship operation, and Brian is now steering it toward health and wellness products because that's where his own passion lives. He's not interested in being another faceless 3PL with hidden fees and confusing invoices. He wants his team to care about what's inside the box, not just get it out the door.You cannot build a real business alone. Brian talks about how lonely entrepreneurship gets without a community around you, people who've actually done the work and not just read about it. That's a huge reason he's stuck with Happy Hustle for three years running.Giving beats getting, in business and in love. His advice on relationships hit hard. Don't go in looking for what you can get, go in looking for what you can give, and it comes back to you tenfold. He said the same thing basically applies to how he leads his team.The biggest regret is almost always the same one. Brian was honest that his one regret is spending too many years chasing the money instead of investing that time in his people. Once he flipped that, everything else started to make sense.We also get into his rapid fire round, which is always one of my favorite parts of these hikes. Steak for the food, A Few Good Men for the movie, Think and Grow Rich for the book, and squats for the workout, which he says he used to hate and now genuinely loves. We talk about his morning routine of fifteen to twenty minutes in silence with God before the day even starts, why he trusts a real advisor over just checking boxes with an accountant, and the working title of his upcoming book, which traces back to lessons from his uncle in some very muddy backyards.This conversation reminded me why I love these hiking pods so much. You get the real version of someone when their legs are burning and their guard is down, and Brian gave us all of it. Faith, family, failure, and the kind of hard won wisdom you can only get by staying in the game for over two decades.If you're ready to rethink what you're actually chasing and why, go listen to the full episode. Brian's story is proof that the businesses built on people, not just profit, are the ones that last. When I asked him for his parting wisdom, he kept it simple. Pray, get a brotherhood, get out in nature, and keep hustlin'.Go listen to the full conversation now at https://happyhustle.com/podcast.Connect with Brianhttps://www.facebook.com/brian.mcmaster.50https://www.instagram.com/mmqualitysolutionshttps://www.linkedin.com/company/m-&-m-quality-solutions/https://twitter.com/mmqualsolutionsFind Brian on this website: https://mmqualitysolutions.com/about-us/Connect with Cary!https://www.instagram.com/caryjack/https://www.facebook.com/SirCaryJackhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/cary-jack-kendzior/https://twitter.com/thehappyhustlehttps://www.tiktok.com/@caryjackhttps://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFDNsD59tLxv2JfEuSsNMOQ/featuredGet a copy of his new book, https://www.thehappyhustle.com/bookSign up for The Journey: 10 Days To Become a Happy Hustler Online Course @ https://thehappyhustle.com/thejourney/Apply to the Montana Mastermind Epic Camping Adventure @ https://thehappyhustle.com/mastermind/“It's time to Happy Hustle, a blissfully balanced life you love, full of passion, purpose, and positive impact!”Episode Sponsors:KilnYour environment shapes your energy and your results.

Building a thriving CPG brand wasn't Katie Lee's plan. It was a crisis response that evolved into a national business. When the COVID-19 shutdown threatened her four St. Louis restaurants and the livelihoods of 150 employees, the chef and restaurateur created a line of frozen pizzas simply to keep her team working. That pizza became the foundation for Katie's, a CPG brand that has grown from roughly $2 million in revenue in 2023 to a business on pace to surpass $24 million in sales this year. The brand is also headed for more than 6,300 retail doors by year-end, including every Target and Sprouts nationwide, along with Whole Foods, Publix, Wegmans and other major retailers. That kind of growth hasn't come without some serious operational challenges. When Target awarded Katie's a national rollout, Lee suddenly had to figure out how to produce 400,000 pizzas in three months. Now, as the brand expands beyond pizza into new categories, she's building a new manufacturing facility while working to preserve the restaurant-level standards and culinary approach that set Katie's apart in the first place. Katie shares what she's had to learn the hard way about CPG, how she and her team navigated the brand's explosive growth, and why she's ultimately more motivated by the freedom to create, build and make an impact than by a big exit. Show notes: 0:20: Katie Lee, Founder & CEO, Katie's – Katie discusses her new book, Unemployable, which chronicles the unconventional path that took her from dropping out of high school at 15 and struggling with addiction to becoming a successful restaurateur and entrepreneur. She explains how she essentially brought the restaurant experience to the freezer aisle, using hand-stretched dough, wood-fired cooking and premium ingredients to create KATIE'S first line of pizzas. She talks about the brand's Walmart Golden Ticket and full-chain Target rollout, including the challenge of meeting the massive production demands that came with those opportunities. Lee also explains how her restaurant background gives KATIE'S an advantage in CPG: her team can develop products quickly, test them with thousands of restaurant customers and apply decades of culinary experience to ingredients, technique and hospitality. She believes consumers are increasingly looking for restaurant-quality food at home, but says the experience extends beyond the food itself to storytelling, presentation and the people and craft behind the product.

Welcome to the Microschool Makers Series, a three-part September series in collaboration with KaiPod to equip aspiring school founders with the inspiration and information needed to launch a successful, sustainable school! Every microschool starts with a clear vision — and the clearest ones sit at the intersection of what a founder is uniquely good at, what their community actually needs, and what can grow into something sustainable.  In this first episode, Kerry McDonald, Director of the Education Entrepreneurship Lab, talks with Amar Kumar, Founder & CEO of KaiPod Learning, and three founders who had different visions for building their schools.  Tom Dowell is the founder and Head of School of Moreana Boys Academy in Gilbert, Arizona, which he launched in 2024. A former public school teacher, Tom created an all-boys model centered on personalized academics, mentorship, hands-on learning, and character development. Gepre Henderson is the founder of BOSS Learning Academy in Douglasville, Georgia, which she opened in 2025. Drawing on more than 14 years of experience in education, she has built a STEM-focused K–5 microschool that emphasizes hands-on learning, student ownership, small groups, and a community that feels like an extension of the family. And Brittany Lopez is the founder of Brighter Futures Microschool in Arlington, Texas that just opened this month! As a certified special education teacher and professional educational therapist, Brittany designed her school specifically for students with learning, language, and social differences, placing targeted and individualized instruction at the heart of the model. Visit KaiPod for more information about this episode—and for resources and tips to start your own microschool!  Tune in next Friday for our second conversation in this series: Building A Sustainable School. *** Check out the Education Entrepreneurship Lab for a steady stream of new articles and original content—by school founders, for school founders.

In this episode, host Jacqueline Buckingham sits down with Val Emanuel, the visionary founder and CEO of Rif Care. Rif Care—which stands for Regenerative International Female—brings you hemp-based menstrual care products that are healthy, sustainable, and responsible. Together, Jacqueline and Val explore the health and environmental benefits of making the switch to hemp, share hilarious and empowering period stories, and strip away the period shame that so many women face. From the shocking synthetic chemicals hidden in typical high school period products to the fact that menstrual products were never historically tested with real blood, this conversation pulls back the curtain on the corporate history of period products and highlights how Riff Care is truly making the planet better. IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: ➡️ What RIF Stands For: The powerful meaning behind the name—Regenerative International Female—and how the brand embraces physical, planetary, and emotional regeneration. ➡️ The Mission to Regenerate the Planet: How growing hemp actively replenishes the soil with nutrients and diversity, ensuring that creating the product actually leaves the earth better off rather than just sustainable. ➡️ Riff Care's Explosive Trajectory: Launching exclusively with Erewhon in June 2022 to test the consumer appetite, expanding across West Coast retailers like Gelson's, New Seasons, Market of Choice, and Lazy Acres, and securing a spot on Target.com. ➡️ Val's Personal Health Journey: The perfect storm of relationship stress, physical displacement from the Malibu fire, a miscarriage, and severe hormonal imbalances that prompted Val to rid her life of synthetic, chemical-sprayed products and create the solution she needed. ➡️ The Problem with Synthetic Menstrual Products: A breakdown of how typical oil-based polyester and polyurethane components in mainstream brands are essentially cottonized plastic byproducts of gasoline production that trap heat and bacteria. ➡️ Demystifying Tampon Design and Shedding: How Rif Care's organic cotton tampons utilize unique ridges to trap blood more effectively and feature a protective, non-woven outer layer to prevent fiber shedding, which can minimize risks of BV, UTIs, or yeast infections. ➡️ A "Free to Bleed" Period Underwear Experience: Val explains the breathable, leak-proof design of Rif Care's period underwear—crafted with hemp, organic cotton, eucalyptus fiber, and a recycled polyester barrier—that completely removes the stress of stains and daytime sheet washing. ➡️ The Shocking History of Menstrual Product Testing: The deeply unsettling reality that until recently, tampons and pads were historically tested using only salt water rather than real human blood.

In this episode, Jacqueline is joined by tech leader turned innovator Anastasia Sartan, the Founder & CEO of The Cycle.   After spending a decade building companies and working as a product director at Snapchat, Anastasia quietly battled severe PMDD. When traditional medicine left her without quick answers, she applied her data science background to medical research, leading to the creation of the first functional beverage formulated for female hormonal health. Together, Jacqueline and Anastasia discuss how the body absorbs liquid nutrients faster than powders, the hidden power of sea buckthorn, and how a surprise order from Sprouts changed Anastasia's career trajectory forever.   They dive into a live taste-test of the formulations and envision a world where women's biology is celebrated, from menstruating Barbies to cycle-accommodating lifestyle hotels. Welcome to MENO with Jacqueline Buckingham, the authority on menopause, perimenopause, and wherever you are on the pause spectrum.   IN THIS EPISODE WE COVER: ➡️ From Snapchat to Fem-Tech: Anastasia's experience navigating a high-stress corporate tech environment as a female leader, and how severe PMDD symptoms sparked her entrepreneurial mission. ➡️ The Problem with Powder Supplements: Why traditional pill supplements often require three to five months to show results due to low absorption rates and low functional dosages, and how liquid extracts offer immediate data points for your body. ➡️ The Magic of Sea Buckthorn Juice: The science behind this underappreciated ingredient—the only natural source of Omega-7—and how it acts as an anti-inflammatory that targets midlife dryness. ➡️ The Retail Breakthrough: How a hobby project consisting of an initial 8,000 cans secured a massive nationwide launch in all 500 Sprouts stores within three months of production. ➡️ The Pause Spectrum Demographics: Analyzing early nationwide sales data that reveals how period and perimenopause support lines are driving modern consumer demand. ➡️ Functional Herbs for Hormonal Health: A breakdown of phase-specific liquid organic herbs, including black cohosh for cooling comfort, sage for brain function, hops flower for anxiety reduction, and nettle leaf as a natural source of iron. ➡️ Rewriting the Instruction Manual on Biology: A critique of the lack of menopause and lifestyle education in traditional OB/GYN medical schooling. ➡️ Wild Dreams for Corporate Normalization: Anastasia shares her ultimate vision board goals, including a history-making collaboration for a menstruating Barbie, period wellness hotels, and the public debut of an upcoming sea buckthorn iron lemonade.

We showcase recordings from this year's Black Hat. The Hidden Risks of the AI Supply Chain - Black Hat interview with Michael Leland, VP and Field CTO of Island Agents can independently discover and install tools, but the emerging ecosystem of Skills and MCP servers lacks many of the trust and security controls applied to traditional software. Michael Leland discusses Island's research uncovering thousands of malicious repositories, widespread security flaws across MCP servers, and a new attack technique called “AgentBaiting,” in which attackers manipulate agents into finding and recommending malware to users. The conversation explains how enterprises can govern AI capabilities without slowing adoption. Segment Resources: https://www.island.io/blog/agentbaiting-how-800-fake-ai-skills-and-mcp-servers-delivered-malware For more information about Island's research, please visit https://securityweekly.com/islandbh After Mythos: Securing Frontier AI as Attack and Defense Accelerate - Black Hat interview with Sean Murphy, Field CISO - North America of F5 Frontier AI is compressing the time between discovering and exploiting vulnerabilities, forcing enterprises to rethink how they secure modern applications and AI systems. Sean Murphy shares how security teams can prepare for the next generation of AI-powered threats, why known vulnerabilities may become a bigger risk than zero-days, and what it takes to secure AI at scale from shadow AI and governance to agent and API protection.

The Perfect Storm: When AI Writes the Code and Sharpens the Attacks - Black Hat interview with Idan Plotnik, Co-Founder and CEO of Apiiro Two storms are converging on how software gets built. The first: AI coding assistants are generating far more code than any security team can review, and with it, far more risk. The second: AI is sharpening the tools attackers use to find and exploit weaknesses faster than ever. Idan Plotnik explains why this convergence has moved the security perimeter to the coding agent itself, and makes the case for a prevention-first model where an AI AppSec agent guards coding agents in real time, governed by the principle that the agent writing the code cannot be the one to secure it.

Model, Harness, Gym: Why Novee Owns the Full AI Pentesting Stack - Black Hat interview with Ido Geffen, Founder & CEO of Novee Security Most AI security tools are thin wrappers around a general-purpose frontier LLM — reasoning capability rented from someone else, applied to a generic scanning workflow. In this interview, Ido Geffen breaks down what it means to own the full AI pentesting stack — the proprietary offensive reasoning model, the harness that coordinates specialized agents, and the training gym where those agents are continuously benchmarked, post-trained on real attacker tradecraft, and promoted into production. Ido explains why owning each layer matters: it's how Novee's model consistently outperforms frontier LLMs at live browser exploitation, how the platform improves at a rate the customer feels every cycle, how Novee keeps security testing cost-efficient rather than relying on tokenized pricing models, and how new attacker techniques get injected into agent memory the moment Novee's research team observes them in the wild. He then makes the case that owning the model is only half the story. The other half is the Asset Intelligence Model — a living understanding of each customer's environment, workflows, permissions, APIs, and business logic. That's what turns a generalist AI hacker into a bespoke one: not just an attacker that reasons well, but one that reasons well about your specific business. He closes with how this advantage leads to findings that get more targeted every cycle, remediation tailored to an organization's tech stack, and a platform whose ceiling rises as attackers get faster.

In this week's episode, host Mike Horne sits down with Founder & CEO of Miller Advisory Partners, Jason Miller, to explore how organizational success hinges not on strategy alone, but on effective execution. Jason shares practical insights, system designs, and leadership behaviors that drive consistent performance and sustainable results. Key Points: Many organizations mistakenly believe they have a strategy problem when, in fact, they face challenges with execution. Execution drift, decision friction, and accountability variability are significant barriers to achieving optimal performance. The "execution gap" is a critical concept that highlights the financial impact of poor execution on businesses. Changing and reinforcing leadership behavior is essential for achieving desired results. Small, continuous "one-degree redirects" are crucial for maintaining long-term alignment within an organization.   Links:  Learn more about Mike Horne on Linkedin Email Mike at mike@mike-horne.com Learn More About Executive and Organization Development with Mike Horne Twitter: https://twitter.com/mikehorneauthor  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/mikehorneauthor/,  LinkedIn Mike's Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/6867258581922799617/,  Schedule a Discovery Call with Mike: https://calendly.com/mikehorne/15-minute-discovery-call-with-mike     Learn More about Jason Miller: linkedin.com/in/jrmiller21

This week we're discussing Redefining Resilience. You've done the math on resilience before, probably without realizing it. Measured yourself against some invisible standard of bouncing back, keeping it together, adjusting easily. And somewhere in the gap between that standard and your actual day, you quietly wondered if you were falling short. The truth is the definition most of us inherited doesn't account for what solo parenting actually demands, and this week's conversation is about replacing it with one that does. Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) and single parent, bring their own lived experience to a topic that touches every solo parent at some point. Together they unpack why the traditional idea of resilience can leave you feeling worse instead of better, and what a more honest, workable version of it actually looks like in the middle of a regular week. Key Insights from This Episode: Resilience isn't about bouncing back; it's about continuing to show up - Getting your feet on the floor, making it through the day, and showing up for your kids counts as resilience even when it doesn't feel like it. Survival mode is not a personal failure; it's a season - Naming where you are honestly is not defeat, it's the starting point for real progress. Measure progress, not outcomes - Comparing your everyday to someone else's highlight reel will always leave you feeling behind; what moves the needle is tracking whether you're moving in a direction.

All Home Care Matters and our host, Lance A. Slatton were honored to welcome Tian Lan & Peijun Liu the Co-Founders of Care Mojo as guests to the show.   About Tian Lan, Founder & CEO of Care Mojo:   Tian Lan is the Founder and CEO of Care Mojo. Before launching Care Mojo, she worked as an engineer at Uber and later became a venture investor. Tian was raised by her grandfather, and watching dementia change the man who had been her hero left a lasting mark on her. She went on to own senior home care businesses, where she explored how technology could be applied to build solutions that make home care safer and more affordable, and that keep families more connected to the loved ones in their care.   About Peijun Liu, Co-Founder of Care Mojo:   Peijun Liu is the Co-Founder of Care Mojo and a researcher at UCSF. A graduate of UCSF, she has researched the use of language models for early cognitive decline detection in partnership with the Mayo Clinic. Having served as a family caregiver for her grandmother and worked in hospice care, Peijun brings both personal and clinical experience to her work bringing greater dignity and visibility to dementia care through Care Mojo.   About Care Mojo:   Care Mojo is an AI-powered aging-in-place safety platform designed to help older adults remain safer and more independent at home while giving families and care professionals greater visibility and peace of mind. Its always-on system combines wearable technology, in-home sensing, location awareness, and proactive voice check-ins to recognize changes in daily routines, activity, safety, and wellbeing. Care Mojo can identify more than 500 daily events and patterns, including potential falls, wandering, changes in bathroom habits, sleep disruption, low movement, missed meals, and other changes that may warrant attention.   When the system detects a potential concern, Care Mojo's AI Speaker Hub can first check in with the individual by voice and then alert family members, caregivers, care staff, or emergency services when appropriate. Its location technology provides room-level awareness inside the home without relying on cameras and can transition to GPS when someone leaves the home, helping families stay informed while supporting an older adult's privacy and independence.   Designed for both families and professional home care providers, Care Mojo provides real-time insights that can help caregivers better understand how a loved one is doing between visits and recognize meaningful changes earlier. With privacy controls, HIPAA-compliant safeguards, and integration capabilities for care organizations, Care Mojo is working to bring together artificial intelligence, wearable technology, and proactive care to help redefine what safer aging and dementia care at home can look like.  

Fairs.com was founded in 2023 in Columbus, OH by people who have actually worked a fair gate — and got tired of watching fairs get squeezed by generic ticketing platforms.

This week on The Audit Podcast, Rania Bijlani, Founder & CEO of RB Advisory & Consultancy, joins the show to discuss how internal audit leaders can prepare for the future of the profession, embrace AI without losing human judgment, and build stronger partnerships across the organization. Rania explains why auditors need to move beyond simply using AI tools and start thinking about how they can audit AI, govern its use, and become part of the strategic conversation around AI. She breaks down the three biggest risks she sees for auditors: failing to learn AI, using it only superficially, and becoming overly reliant on it. She also explains why discernment and judgment will become even more important as AI takes on more of the work. Rania also shares her approach to helping internal audit teams become AI-ready, emphasizing that training alone isn't enough. Teams need a strategy, an actionable plan, and implementation support to turn what they learn into meaningful change. The conversation then shifts to one of Rania's biggest areas of expertise: building trust, influence, and real partnerships within the organization. She breaks down the foundation of trust, why credibility and shared purpose matter, and how auditors can move beyond policing the business to becoming true partners. Finally, Rania shares the biggest lesson she's learned from hosting her own podcast, Impact Legacy with Rania: across industries and leadership roles, it is the human skills — authenticity, self-belief, strategic thinking, emotional intelligence, and relationship-building — that truly make leaders stand out.

✅ The Green Impact Report Quick take: David Gottfried co-founded USGBC, wrote the first white paper proposing a US rating system, and lit the fuse on what became LEED. Now, 30+ years and 30 billion square feet later, he's back with a bigger question: if we can green every building on Earth and still miss the climate targets, what have we forgotten?

"I wanted someone who was helping with proactive strategies. So if I'm sick one to two days a year, I want a doctor, but the 363 other days a year, I want someone helping me with strategies to not get sick. Unfortunately, our doctors aren't trained for that; the medical system doesn't have that." —Keith Bozeman Proactive healthcare shouldn't wait until you're sick — that's the entire premise behind Medgevity, the concierge, physician-led practice built by this week's guest, Keith Bozeman. After losing access to the kind of doctor who actually had time for him, Keith set out to rebuild what he'd lost: a coordinated team of a physician, dietitian, and exercise scientist working together year-round, not just during an annual physical. In this conversation, Keith and host Justine Reichman dig into what it actually looks like to have a health team instead of a single doctor squeezing you into a 15-minute slot. They talk about DEXA scans that reveal what the bathroom scale hides, why cholesterol numbers alone don't tell the full story, and why perimenopause and andropause so rarely get discussed before they hit. This episode is for anyone in midlife who's frustrated with reactive medicine and wondering what a proactive, team-based approach could actually change. By the end, you'll understand why Keith insists the doctor has to be the quarterback of your care — and why he thinks gyms, not hospitals, might be the next healthcare hub in your community. Key takeaways: A patient who lost only five pounds on the scale actually lost nine pounds of fat and gained four pounds of muscle — proof that body composition data tells a truer story than weight alone. High cholesterol doesn't automatically mean a statin is the right call; additional data like calcium and soft plaque scores can change the decision entirely. Most people get zero guidance before perimenopause or andropause hits, even during annual OB/GYN visits, leaving couples blindsided by symptoms no one warned them about. Medgevity doesn't mark up any test or supplement it recommends, removing the financial incentive that often muddies medical advice. It took Keith at least 18 months and one trusted dietitian saying yes before Medgevity had a functioning team — proactive healthcare had to be built relationship by relationship. Partnering with gyms instead of building brick-and-mortar clinics let Medgevity reach people nationwide without the geographic limits of an in-person practice.

This week we're discussing Courage to Let Your Kids See You Struggle. Somewhere along the way, most solo parents develop a kind of silent rule: handle the hard things before you walk into the room. Clean up before they see you. Keep your voice steady even when your heart isn't. It comes from love. But it also comes from fear, and it's worth asking whether the wall you've built to protect them might also be keeping them from something they really need. Robert Beeson, Founder & CEO of Solo Parent, Elizabeth Cole, single parent, and Amber Fuller, a counselor with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy (MMFT) and single parent, take a close and honest look at something every solo parent wrestles with: how much of your struggle do you actually let your kids see? They get practical, they get real, and they name the difference between protecting your kids and isolating them from a version of you that could actually draw you closer. Key Insights from this episode: Struggle is something you can model, not just survive - Kids learn resilience by watching adults navigate hard things, not by watching them perform composure. The space between hiding and dumping is where real connection lives - Honest, age-appropriate moments, done without making your kids responsible for what you're carrying, teach them how to handle hard things too. Vulnerability, done with intention, builds the trust that nothing else can - When you let them in a little, they let you in too, and that mutual trust becomes the foundation of a relationship that holds.

Your studio is growing. So why does success suddenly feel so heavy? In this episode of the Transform My Dance Studio Podcast, Katie Wilber sits down with Shannon Westveer, Professional Speaker, Founder & CEO of The Switch Finance & Studio Solutions, and DSOA Inner Circle Studio Growth Coach, to walk through the evolution of a dance studio owner—from opening the doors on day one to stepping into the role of a confident CEO. Having co-owned and grown a Chicago dance studio to $1.7 million in revenue, Shannon knows firsthand what happens when every decision, task, and responsibility runs through the owner. She shares why growth requires more than working harder—and why delegation, financial clarity, intentional team building, and strong systems need to become part of your business before burnout forces them to. Together, Katie and Shannon explore the shift from operator to CEO: identifying what truly belongs on your plate, creating roles around the work you can delegate, training your team to take real ownership, and using your numbers to make confident decisions about hiring, growth, and even paying yourself more. Whether you're opening your first studio or realizing the business you've built depends far too heavily on you, this conversation offers a roadmap for building a studio that can grow with you—not just because of you. What You'll Learn: Why "the owner is the system" in so many growing dance studios How to identify what only you can do—and what should be delegated The mindset shift from studio operator to studio CEO Why delegation starts with clearly defined roles and expectations How proper training builds trust and gives team members autonomy Why taking time to train now can create a much bigger payoff later How financial clarity helps you make better hiring and growth decisions Why knowing your numbers can make it easier to confidently pay yourself more The three things Shannon believes studio owners should build into their businesses from day one Why your three-year vision, financial plan, and brand identity should guide your decisions What to remember when studio ownership feels overwhelming Shannon Westveer is a Professional Speaker, Founder & CEO of The Switch Finance & Studio Solutions, and a Studio Growth Coach inside the DSOA Inner Circle. She co-owned and grew a $1.7 million dance studio in Chicago and has taught dance to tens of thousands of children over the past 25 years.

How many people are pre-diabetic right now and have absolutely no idea? The numbers are staggering, and left unchecked, this subtle condition can eventually cost people their mobility, organs, and even their lives. I'm joined by John Goldman, founder of Rebel Health Alliance, who turned his health crisis at 45 into a mission to help others avoid the same predicament. He walks us through the diagnostics that revealed he was (in his words) a metabolic disaster, and the seven-part philosophy he used to reverse it.  We get into why walking after meals is one of the most underrated tools for blood sugar control, what a continuous glucose monitor can teach you about your body, and why John believes healthcare should involve a coordinated team instead of a single rushed doctor's visit.  We also explore GLP-1 medications, muscle loss, and why so many people are setting themselves up to fail when they misuse these powerful drugs.    "Don't be afraid of the fact that your blood sugar spikes, because it's going to spike whenever you eat anything. You can lower blood sugar by just getting up and moving around." ~ John Goldman   In This Episode: - John's wake-up call at 45  - The Rebel Health Alliance philosophy on longevity  - Why walking is the easiest insulin resistance fix  - The scale of America's pre-diabetes crisis  - How movement helps in building muscle mass - The benefit of an identity-based lifestyle change  - Symptoms of insulin resistance - Health insights from continuous glucose monitors - How alcohol wrecks blood sugar and sleep  - Peptides, muscle loss, and how to do it right - How to connect with John and Rebel Health Alliance   Products & Resources Mentioned: Rebel Health Alliance: Access personalized medical care focused on optimization and longevity, guided by your unique biology and long-term health goals from the elite medical team at https://rebelhealthalliance.io/  Bon Charge Red Light Face Mask: Get 15% off sitewide, plus free shipping and a 12-month warranty, with code WENDY at https://boncharge.com/  Tru Energy Skincare Bio Adaptive Hydration Oil: Try the oil and save up to $197 at http://trytruenergy.com/wendy5  Puori Grass-Fed PW1 Whey Protein: Use code WENDY20 to save up to 32% off your order and get a free shaker worth $25 at https://puori.com/wendy20 Heavy Metals Quiz: Check your toxicity score and receive a free video series on how to detox your body.

He was tired, overworked, and uninspired by a healthcare system that waits for people to get sick before doing anything about it. So, he decided to rebel. As the Founder & CEO of Rebel Health Alliance, John built a new kind of healthcare company—one designed to make you stronger, sharper, and more resilient right now. And to prove what's possible, he's turning himself into the ultimate case study: transforming from average to elite, aiming to qualify for the Boston Marathon in 18 months or less.

Part 4 in the Mr. Steak series, and Part 3 of the Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge series. This one is from June 1976 and is on the topic of "Nobody Loves and Absentee." On the topic of Absenteeism, which apparently was a chronic condition for the managers and staff to work through at the time. Mr. Steak's Founder, Chairman of the Board and CEO James A. Jim Mather, my Grandpa Mather, interviews people in an effort to increase what he called Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge by encouraging people to smile in order to help beautify America. This was in December 1976 for the benefit of Mr. Steak's nationwide staff in 285 restaurants. Grandpa interjects his thoughts along with Scripture. This seems to have been a monthly series called "Mr. Steak's Competitive Edge," each month with a new theme. Many thank to Kerri Marquadt, owner of 7 of the 286 Mr. Steak franchises including the Cheyenne Wyoming location, for the gift to me of these rare tapes of the Mr. Steak franchisor founder and motivational speaker, James A. Mather. Grandpa Mather was raised by a single mother in the Great Depression in El Dorado, Kansas. He went on to serve as a Navy F2F Hellcat fighter pilot during World War 2. He started the company in 1962. He and his first wife Dottie raised 3 kids in Colorado. He died last year in the presence of his second wife Linda peacefully in Camarillo, California at the ripe age of 102 years young. Funeral services were held at Godspeak Calvary Chapel in Newbury Park and performed by Pastor Rob McCoy, whom Jim mentored in the Lord. The still photo is Grandpa Mather with Michigan Mr. Steak franchisee associates, managers, staff. Enjoy. The Republican Professor is a pro-free-enterprise-system podcast. Therefore, welcome back Grandpa Jim James A. Mather. The Republican Professor is produced and hosted by Dr. Lucas J. Mather, Ph.D

Put it in the market.  For more than a decade, Cheeky Cocktails has built a following with premium syrups and juices designed to elevate at-home cocktails.  Now, founder and CEO April Wachtel is pushing the brand into a first-of-its-kind functional tonic, and shares how real-world feedback is reshaping everything from where the product belongs on the shelf to how she's thinking about Cheeky's next chapter. For CPG founders, it's a compelling case for embracing iteration rather than waiting for perfection. Show notes: 0:20: April Wachtel, Founder & CEO, Cheeky Cocktails – April discusses her unconventional path from working in restaurants as a teenager to becoming a craft cocktail bartender, spirits brand ambassador and consultant before launching her own company. She reflects on the evolution from her original brand, Swig and Swallow and how she ultimately relaunched the business just as the COVID-19 pandemic accelerated at-home cocktail culture.

Today, I'm delighted to connect with Sara Hirsh Bordo, an autoimmune-diagnosed, 15-times award-winning documentary filmmaker, the founder and CEO of Women Rising, and the author of Autoimmunity and the Good Girls. I loved Sara's book, and I love her work! I believe her message will resonate deeply with listeners with concurrent autoimmune conditions, and those who have grown up as people pleasers or have subjugated themselves over the course of their lives. Autoimmune conditions often tend to flare or first present during major hormonal transitions like postpartum, perimenopause, or menopause. So it's important to understand the influence of chronic stress and how it intersects with our immune system function. In our conversation, Sara and I discuss how self-silencing makes us sick, and overgiving keeps us that way. We explore the influence of family and culture on our health and longevity, the effects of autoimmunity, people pleasing, good-girl conditioning, and authenticity versus dissociation. We also discuss Gabor Maté's book, The Myth of Normal, liberation, the fear of disappointment, Sara's research, her concept of the license to be sovereign, the act of receiving, the role of epigenetics and birth order, and Sara's framework of coherence, authenticity, epigenetics, and permission. Stay tuned for a wonderful conversation about autoimmunity, people-pleasing, authenticity, and permitting ourselves to be sovereign. Sarah's book, Autoimmunity and the Good Girls, will likely resonate deeply with many of you. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: How self-silencing, self-neglect, and self-betrayal can impact a woman's health The connection between chronic stress, suppressed feelings, good girl conditioning, and autoimmunity What it feels like to reclaim your authenticity and be more aligned with yourself How the fear of disappointing others can make it difficult for some women to claim their power What Sara discovered about adverse girlhood experiences, birth order, and the caretaker role when compiling the research for her book How becoming more sovereign can help women advocate for their own needs Why receiving can be difficult for women who are accustomed to giving How stillness and silence helped Sara identify her needs and wants How girlhood experiences, self-silencing, and self-compromise can become epigenetic inputs, and what women can do to create more supportive environments Why permission is a key part of Sara's framework for reclaiming authenticity Bio: Sara Hirsh Bordo Sara Hirsh Bordo (pronounced Bordeaux) is a 15-time award-winning filmmaker and Founder/CEO of Women Rising®, named "One of the Most Innovative, Interesting, and Purpose-Driven Women-Led Startups to Watch” by Inc.
