Today we're welcoming Mitch, a commercial pilot who turned 90 acres of Maine forest into something truly unique in the short-term rental world: a fly-in cabin experience complete with its own FAA-registered runway. What started as a practical solution for getting his family from Pennsylvania to their beloved Maine quickly evolved into a destination that's capturing the imagination of pilots and non-pilots alike.From the initial market research in pilot Facebook groups to the "silverware stage" of outfitting a remote A-frame cabin, Mitch shares the realities of building a business around your passion while maintaining a demanding full-time career. We'll explore how his extensive travel experience staying in hotels worldwide informed his approach to hospitality, the unexpected joy he's found in guest feedback about children experiencing their first moose sighting, and why he believes investing in beauty and thoughtful details pays dividends in bookings.Whether you're dreaming of creating your own unique cabin experience or simply curious about what happens when aviation meets hospitality, this conversation offers insights into turning a personal passion project into a thriving business that's bringing families closer to nature—one landing at a time.Website: https://www.beavercreekmaine.comBooking Site: https://www.beavercreekmaine.com/?fbclid=PAZXh0bgNhZW0CMTEAAafIKuVOqEJUvn-K3WOQDorr3ImTq-JdC5YJ3sDU4WN-kfJB_8X4vDG6VOzQCQ_aem_OaHouid1brwllkSieN8XxAIG Handle: @beavercreekmaineCozy Rock Cabin: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311027Cozy Cabin Boone: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311026Cozy Camp Sebec: https://staycozycabin.holidayfuture.com/listings/311051Cozy Rock Website: http://www.staycozycabin.comYouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC_FgMwAgvORd1IwlH1nlC9g

Ever feel like your problems are too big, too vague, too tangled to tackle? Dr. Mark L. Teague calls it “the blob”—that overwhelming mass of modern challenges we all face. In this powerful episode of Productivity Smarts, host Gerald J. Leonard sits down with Dr. Teague, economist, former finance executive, and author of A Working Man's Guide, to reveal a game-changing approach: frame the problem before you fight it. Dr. Teague shares the strategy that helped him go from farmhand to PhD and Wall Street leadership: simplify the chaos, break it into components, and work against a frame, not a feeling. We also take a look at his Impact Index—a sharp diagnostic tool to evaluate whether someone's ambition and capability align—and a deep observation at why building a life of abundant purpose is the ultimate productivity advantage. Learn how principled thinking, rooted in traditional values, leads not just to success—but to purpose. Let's dive in. What We Discuss [00:00] Introducing Dr. Mark L. Teague, PhD [04:01] The 3 core principles that shaped Dr. Teague [05:31] Why accepting life's problems is the first step to real productivity [07:44] The power of the Scientific Method: Turning blobs into frames [11:06] Samuel Morse and the power of reframing problems [13:44] Building resilience in the age of AI, economic shifts, and overwhelm [17:07] The Impact Index: How ambition and competence drive real outcomes [23:22] Abundant purpose: Why fulfillment beats wealth every time [28:02] From managing money to managing meaning: Lessons for entrepreneurs and tradespeople [32:52] How values-driven leadership builds lasting business and family success [36:22] Holding fast to your North Star: The conversation that matters most [39:23] Where to find Dr. Teague and his book Notable Quotes [04:20] “Work hard, be honest, and be respectful. Those three things were expected—and you didn't deviate.” — Dr. Teague [07:44] “Don't work against the blob. Frame the problem, then work the frame.” — Dr. Teague [10:22] “Simplify. That's the secret to all stress management.” — Dr. Teague [17:07] “Capability without ambition makes you dead weight. Ambition without capability makes you dangerous.” — Dr. Teague [25:48] “Build your life around the intangibles—and use those same principles to pursue the tangible.” — Dr. Teague [35:55] “If you put business before family, you're talking to a fool.” — Dr. Teague Our Guest Dr. Mark L. Teague is a former finance executive, PhD economist, entrepreneur, and author of A Working Man's Guide. With deep roots in traditional values and decades of high-stakes leadership, Dr. Teague brings a fresh, practical perspective to productivity rooted in principle. His book delivers actionable tools and thought-provoking insights for anyone striving to lead a purpose-driven life and career. Resources Dr. Mark L.

They talk strategy, cost, coherence, and why it still feels like Midjourney has that “magic dust” no one else can replicate.Along the way: Runway love, layering hacks, JSON secrets, interior design with arrows, and 3D dogs with job titles.

In the twenty-first century alone, women filmmakers have succeeded at directing every size, genre, and style of motion picture. Their movies have won Oscars (Free Solo), made actors into household names (Jennifer Lawrence in Winter's Bone), received induction into the Library of Congress's National Film Registry (Real Women Have Curves), and become worldwide box office phenomena (Captain Marvel, Deep Impact). Nevertheless in 2023, the year of Barbie, women directed only 12% of the top 250 movies in America. demonstrating how far moviemaking remains from gender parity. When women filmmakers succeed, they do so against these odds. Break the Frame (Oxford UP, 2025) is a collection of 24 career-spanning interviews with America's celebrated, reigning, and rising women filmmakers. Each conversation considers the director's complete filmography as a map of their evolving artistry and evidence of their unassailable contributions to a historically misogynist industry. Author Kevin Smokler listens as women filmmakers speak to the struggle and triumphs of developing and directing movies that are shaping how the film business sees women in the director's chair, and how their audiences see themselves and each other.

Influencing up is a critical skill to moving up in our careers. We need to be intentional and strategic if we want to be more visible for a new role, promotion or to attract any new opportunity. These six tips will help you get there faster.Build credibility with consistent excellenceDeliver exceptional results consistently to establish yourself as reliable and valuable. When leaders trust your work quality and judgment, they're more likely to consider your ideas and recommendations. Recognize that you have specialized knowledge or frontline insights that leadership lacks. Share these perspectives confidently.Understand your leader's priorities and pressuresTake time to learn what matters most to decision-makers above you - their goals, challenges, and what they're evaluated on. Frame your proposals in terms of these priorities to show alignment with their objectives.Present solutions, not just problemsWhen raising issues, come prepared with thoughtful recommendations and implementation plans. Leaders appreciate team members who think proactively and take initiative rather than simply escalating issues.Communicate strategicallyFrame your ideas in terms of organizational goals and leadership priorities. Tailor your message to your audience's communication style. Some leaders prefer data-driven presentations while others respond to storytelling. Be concise, focus on impact, and anticipate potential questions or concerns.Build genuine relationships before you need themDevelop trust through reliability, thoughtful interactions, and demonstrating value in everyday work. Identify and nurture relationships with influential stakeholders who can champion your ideas. When multiple respected voices support your position, it creates momentum that's difficult for leaders to ignore. Connect with leaders on a personal level while maintaining professionalism. Demonstrate emotional intelligenceRead the organizational climate and timing carefully. Understand when to press forward with an idea and when to temporarily step back. Show empathy for the pressures leaders face while maintaining conviction in your valuable contributions.Some resources for you:Want to see how you score as a confident communicator?

Episode 230How 2 Add Value 2 HimSensers! The cliche statement “what do you bring to the table?” Well what can a woman bring to the table for how I run a frame? Start with your superpower: femininity. Amongst other things, but being in alignment with your femininity in combination with me being aligned in my masculinity I believe creates a powerful force. Consistency can be challenging at times. Downright a bitch even, but what does one do when life gets off course from the goals set or just life in general? Peep what I discuss on the topic. So some of us have yet to see anything remotely close to healthy love or a healthy relationship. So how would one who's never seen it know to even move towards healthy love? How do you know you're not repeating a familiar cycle? Is this what's best for me? Who fucking knows…but we can start by acknowledging that we don't know enough and be open to learn. May God and His Universe remove any negative energy you may have stored from reading this. If you dig the episode, click, like, and share on your page. Help build the tribe of healing
Hey team! Today I'm talking with Jacob Nordby—author, creative mentor, and founder of the Institute for Creative Living. Jacob's work blends personal development, creativity, and storytelling to help people live more aligned and authentic lives. In our conversation, we talk about his late ADHD diagnosis and how that shaped his journey to finding his authentic self. We explore the challenges of masking, the struggle of figuring out who you really are after years of trying to fit in, and how journaling, self-discovery tools, and embracing curiosity can help peel back those layers. We also dive into what it means to live authentically with ADHD and the ways masking can drain us. Start Freedom today! Use code ADHD40 to get them 40% off a Freedom Yearly premium subscription!

Frame “rest” as active recovery—Instead of shaming yourself for downtime, recognize that pulling back sensory input (like a “pajama day” with blackout curtains) can be a crucial nervous system reset.

This episode of the podcast is Chapters 16, 17, and 18 of Dancing the Tightrope, the last of the self-awareness chapters, or as I call them the “C” chapters. In these chapters, we cover courage, congruence and clarity. Over and over again, I come back to these chapters to find what's missing when I find myself stuck. My favorite quote from the Courage chapter is this one: “The beautiful thing about welcoming pressure as a catalyst is that we no longer allow the end goal to define us. Winning the game is nice, but it's not the point. The point is the opportunity to cultivate our courage, or perhaps a better word is to unleash our courage.” I've even come to call the process of raising the pressure threshold “couraging” because we are building our courage. From Chapter 17 on Congruence, I like this quote: “Like a tangled ball of roots, Rules wind their way into our guidance system, blocking the pathways to our personal truth. The interference makes it very difficult to find our voice. And here's the strangest part of all of this. We are not aware that our Rules are interfering. Because all of these Rules have been with us for so long, they feel like a part of us. As they direct us out of our awareness, our Rules feel as if they ARE us.” This quote sums up Chapter 18 pretty well: “Clarity starts with removing that which does not belong. Whether creating a simple picture for how my day is going to go or a picture for the horse on a trail or a vision for my life, the art of subtraction makes room for what is real and true. I can only afford to remove my protective armor when I've come to own my true inner strength and acknowledged my true nature.” We are nearing the end of the book! Next week, I'll share the last two chapters of Dancing the Tightrope. Because I tackled this project Frame by Frame, step by step, it's actually been fun. Hard to believe I dreaded it!

Quick story to explain this - I was testing out a new business and I was talking to my husband about this product and the cost of goods and profits and the industry and I was explaining about the strong positioning I'll have in the marketplace and he was like many sold last month and what was the net profit? And when I told him - he's like your time is worth more- that's not big enough - and I'm like totally - but I haven't even gotten started. He's like but you have sales- I was like I know, but I'm in the pre-game like I haven't even gotten started. I'm building the skills and knowledge in the industry to go out and hit a home run. In the process of explaining this to him, I unlocked SUCH a powerful frame for myself that I think will really help you too. This frame is genius for anything you've tried at but haven't hit out of the park yet. In any bucket of your life. Record strong podcast episodes, make sales in your Etsy or Amazon business, lose weight, build stronger relationships with girlfriends- it can be applied to just about anything. It's the UNLOCK to stop judging yourself for taking too long or not getting there yet or for the mistakes you made along the way. None of what happens in the past defines how successful you will be going forward - it was all prep work for the BIG move that's about to come. Let's get into it!! Reframing Your Past: • How to shift your mindset to see everything you've done up until now as preparation, not failure. • Embrace your “warm-up reps” as necessary for your future greatness. • The power of process over perfection—show up with a growth mindset, not an outcome obsession. • Mistakes and slow starts don't disqualify you—they qualify you. Quote: “You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems.” — James Clear ⸻ 2. The Power of the Pregame Frame in Business: • Why launching something small, testing, and learning the landscape is one of the most strategic things you can do. • Building muscle in the industry, even if the early results don't look big yet. • Your pregame is your research lab—learn fast, fail small, adjust boldly. Quote: “Volume negates luck.” — Alex Hormozi ⸻ 3. Stop Judging the Timeline: • You're not late—you're just in the warm-up. • The world teaches speed, but mastery comes from depth and consistency. • Let go of artificial timelines and embrace your unique runway. Quote: “You can't be upset by the results you didn't get from the work you didn't do.” — Mel Robbins ⸻ 4. Applying the Frame to Different Life Buckets: • Health: Every workout you've done, even sporadically, is a win. Your future self will use those reps. • Relationships: Conversations that didn't go well taught you what you want in a friendship or partnership. • Parenting: The imperfect moments were actually preparation for the present version of you. • Creative Work: Podcasts, posts, or projects that felt “meh” were the training ground for your voice. Quote: “Sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn.” — John C. Maxwell ⸻ 5. The Real Work Begins When You Decide to Stop Judging Yourself: • Self-compassion is your rocket fuel. • You're not behind—you're building traction. • “I haven't even gotten started” becomes your permission slip to go bigger. Quote: “Don't attach your identity to the version of you that had to survive.” — Jay Shetty ⸻ 6. Invite Your Listeners to Do This: • Write down a list of things you've “started but not mastered.” Then re-label them as “Pregame Practice.” • Celebrate what you've learned—not just what you earned. • Choose one area to now move into game time with fresh energy. Take the time to be kind to yourself for anything big you are working towards and know that you are just warming up baby, the best is yet to come!!

We've all been there: the first meeting goes great, the recruit leans in, there's chemistry... then silence. Suddenly, every follow-up feels like you're annoying them. In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to pre-frame your follow-ups with value, so you stop chasing and start leading. When done right, follow-up isn't a disruption, it's a service. I'll show you how to turn that awkward “just checking in” into a trusted leadership moment that builds momentum and creates future hires. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – The recruiting tension we've all felt: great meeting, then ghosted. [01:00] Why Follow-Ups Fall Flat – You didn't set the stage. No frame = no permission. [01:30] Pre-Framing the Follow-Up – Plant the seed during the first conversation. Ask if you can share something valuable in the weeks ahead. [02:30] Asset #1: Books – Send a thoughtful book with a handwritten note that matches their challenge. [03:30] Asset #2: Event Invites – Pre-frame exclusive invites to leadership calls, masterminds, or town halls. [04:00] Asset #3: Custom Content – Send a podcast, quote, or framework tied to their specific pain point. [04:30] Asset #4: Pure Gratitude – A thank-you note that affirms their leadership plants powerful seeds. [05:00] Build a Value Library – Create a system to store and deploy assets: books, podcasts, events, insights. [06:00] Final Challenge – Stop winging follow-up. Lead with intentionality, and watch your pipeline warm up fast. Key Takeaways Pre-Frame the Next Touchpoint – Get permission early so follow-up feels like service, not pursuit. Lead With Value – Use books, events, and content that reinforce your leadership and build trust. Customize Your Follow-Up – Reference real pain points from the conversation. Show them you listened. Systematize It – Keep a library of resources so you're never scrambling for the next move. You're Not a Nuisance – When your follow-up is relevant and intentional, it becomes a leadership moment. The best recruiters aren't chasing. They're investing. Start pre-framing your follow-ups, and you'll stop feeling like a salesperson and start being seen as a trusted guide.

‘Frame of Mind' nos trae una nueva vuelta de tuerca al estilo de loops temporales. En este caso, el loop es Riker pasando de lo que cree que es su vida normal en la Enterprise a estar interno en una institución mental. Ninguna de las dos fases del loop es real, ya que está preso y sedado, y todo se lo fuerzan a vivir y revivir en su mente. Esta semana la introducción es ‘corta', pero podéis pasar directamente al episodio en el minuto 00:25:02.

On this episode of Visual Intonation, we sit down with Zoë Davidson, a brilliant Director of Photography whose work speaks volumes — even when there's no dialogue. Based in Toronto, Zoë's shot films across Canada, the U.S., and the Caribbean, and her camera has a way of capturing not just images, but emotion. Her journey is rooted in storytelling, travel, and a deep connection to culture. Zoë holds an MFA from Howard University and spent four years teaching digital media before diving full-time into freelance cinematography. She's worked with heavy hitters like Lionsgate, Terence Nance, and even the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences. But what stands out most isn't just the scale of her work; it's the heart behind it. Every frame feels intentional, rich, and alive. Her films have screened at Sundance, the Trinidad + Tobago Film Festival, and CaribbeanTales, and she's taken home major awards, including Best Documentary at Emerging Lens in 2024. She's also part of powerful collectives like Brown Girls Doc Mafia, Women in Media, and the Canadian Society of Cinematographers, always bringing community into focus. In this conversation, we talk about how Zoë lights a scene, how she finds truth through the lens, and what it means to tell stories across borders. It's honest, inspiring, and full of wisdom for anyone drawn to the art of visual storytelling.

Almost by definition, the frame of a picture is something that you are not supposed to notice. But if you go to the art galleries to look at paintings now, you might get a very different sense of what a frame can or even should do. Weird and wild frames that very much draw attention to themselves seem to be having a moment. Recently, Artnet writer and editor Katie White penned a piece titled Bordercore: Why Frames Became the New Frontier in Contemporary Art. In her essay, she looks both at the history of framing styles, and talks to a number of contemporary painters to figure out what is causing so many to treat something that was literally considered peripheral to what they do as very much part of the main attraction. This week she joins Art Critic Ben Davis on the podcast to discuss this new frontier in art.

Welcome to Maintaining Frame where we will be reacting to Bryony Claire's latest harrowing discovery! Men in crisis is a danger to feminism! DUN DUN DUUUUUUUUN!
Send us a textWhat happens when we allow catchy slogans and fear-based rhetoric to shape our understanding of diversity and inclusion? Rauel and Antowan tackle this question head-on as they dissect the troubling misconceptions surrounding DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) policies in America.The duo doesn't shy away from uncomfortable truths, examining how phrases like "We Will Die by DEI" manipulate emotions and bypass critical thinking. They highlight alarming Federal data showing white men still earn 33% more than Black men performing identical jobs—a depressing level of improvement from the 47% gap in 1969, and stark evidence that systemic inequalities persist despite progress.This conversation goes beyond political talking points to examine the spiritual and ethical dimensions of justice. Antowan powerfully notes that "unbalanced scales are an abomination to God," challenging listeners who claim religious values while opposing policies that help the vulnerable. Meanwhile, Rauel calls for Americans to "be a Daniel"—standing firmly for what's right even when facing tremendous opposition.The hosts create a rare space where complex issues around race, economics, and faith intersect without descending into partisan bickering. They argue that the true division in America isn't between races or political parties but between the privileged and disadvantaged—a perspective that challenges listeners across the political spectrum.Whether you're confused by DEI debates, concerned about America's future, or simply seeking thoughtful conversation in a polarized time, this episode offers clarity, compassion, and a challenge to examine both facts and values. Join the conversation at www.forsauk.com and become part of a community committed to honest dialogue about our shared future.Thanks for listening. Please check out our website at www.forsauk.com to hear great conversations on topics that need to be talked about. In these times of intense polarization we all need to find time to expand our Frame of Reference.
In this episode of our Anthropy special series, we speak with Joanna Yarrow, who helps run Human Nature Places, a company creating neighbourhoods that make sustainable living easier. Joanna brings a unique perspective shaped by her upbringing in a Sussex woodland with "Good Life" parents who embraced sustainability before it was fashionable. Her journey from homemade clothes and organic sandwiches to working with IKEA on sustainability reveals how she's navigated the tension between sustainable values and modern aspirations. Joanna discusses how sustainability needs to connect to people's everyday lives to truly succeed, focusing particularly on food and transportation as key impact areas. She offers a refreshing take on joy as an important but overlooked sustainability metric.
