In this episode of PodRocket, Jack and Paige dive into the latest GitHub Octoverse report, covering trends like shipping faster with AI, the dominance of TypeScript as the top language, the rise of AI-generated pull requests, and the concerning drop in code review comments. They unpack the growing role of Copilot, the tension between OSS contributions and burnout, and the surge in AI infrastructure projects like Ollama.

In this week's episode, I'm chatting with Alejandra Rojas, entrepreneur, Forbes contributor, and founder of Brown Way to Money, a financial mentoring platform that helps women overcome financial trauma and improve their relationship with money. Alejandra's story is such a powerful reminder that financial freedom isn't just about numbers, it's about emotional healing, self-awareness, and redefining success on your own terms. Originally from Colombia, Alejandra left home at 19 on a scholarship and went on to live and study in Spain, the U.S., and New Zealand. She shares how her journey from financial burnout in Washington D.C. to finding balance in New Zealand completely changed how she views money, success, and happiness. We talk about what it means to truly know yourself with money, and how understanding your emotional patterns can help you build wealth that feels aligned and sustainable. Alejandra also breaks down her B.R.O.W.N. Framework, a tool she uses to help women heal from financial trauma and create lasting change. In This Episode I Discuss: How Alejandra's global journey and scholarships shaped her view of money and opportunity The moment she realized her financial burnout was connected to deeper emotional patterns What she learned about consumer culture and self-worth while living in the U.S. How life in New Zealand helped her slow down, reconnect, and build a new definition of success Watch the video to this episode on YouTube below or click here.

Jesse returns for the 10th "Ask Me Anything" episode to tackle three listener questions that cut to the core of modern wealth planning. He opens with a deep dive into direct indexing, separating substance from sales pitch. While advocates tout it as the next evolution of indexing—combining personalization and tax-loss harvesting—Jesse explains why, for most investors, the extra complexity, cost, and tracking error outweigh the modest tax advantages, making low-cost ETFs the better long-term choice. Next, he answers a question from a listener whose retirement timeline doesn't align with their spouse's, exploring how couples can navigate income changes, healthcare coverage, and tax strategy when one partner stops working years before the other. He breaks down the pros and cons of filing jointly versus separately, showing why joint filing almost always leads to lower overall taxes and greater flexibility. Finally, Jesse delivers a masterclass on decumulation—the art and order of withdrawing money in retirement. From spending taxable assets first to preserving Roth and HSA accounts for last, he maps out how smart sequencing, Roth conversions, and bracket management can extend portfolio life, minimize taxes, and keep retirees financially steady through every stage of the journey. Key Takeaways:• Direct indexing isn't revolutionary for most investors—it's often an overhyped, higher-cost alternative to low-cost ETFs with limited long-term benefits. • Married filing jointly is almost always the better tax choice, offering lower overall tax rates, higher standard deductions, and broader eligibility for credits. • Before changing filing status, couples should test both scenarios using online 1040 tax calculators to see the real impact on their total tax bill. • Guardrail and Monte Carlo strategies help retirees adjust withdrawal rates dynamically based on market performance, rather than using a rigid 4% rule. • HSAs can be used as stealth retirement accounts, reimbursing decades-old medical expenses tax-free or even acting as traditional IRAs after age 65. • The key to successful retirement planning is flexibility—balancing tax efficiency, market uncertainty, and personal goals to ensure sustainable income for decades.

You've built a business that changes lives, but what if the one thing holding back your next level isn't strategy, it's your stamina? The vision God gave you can't scale through a body that's running on low power. Years before Power on Plants began, Jarrod and I were building traditional medical and nursing careers, raising four children, and chasing big God-sized dreams. But our health wasn't keeping pace. We were exhausted, foggy, and frustrated — watching energy slip away while opportunities piled up. We didn't need more drive. We needed the simple, sustainable system to fuel the entire vision God had placed in our hearts.Then everything changed. Through prayer, research, and plenty of kitchen flops, God showed us how to turn whole food plant-based living into the fuel that enjoyably powers clarity, creativity, and endurance… on repeat! (No deprivation, no keeping up with numbers, and no small portions necessary.)From that breakthrough came our 5-Step Accelerator Framework — the proven blueprint for Christian entrepreneurs and Kingdom leaders who want to restore energy, sharpen focus, and multiply productivity for maximum Kingdom impact. THE RESULTS?75+ pounds lost naturallyand sustainably — no dieting, no deprivation.Chronic conditions reversed the way God designed — through real, delicious food.Energy, focus, and confidence restored — for life, family, and leadership.Clients now use this same Framework to turn their bodies into their #1 asset for business growth and Kingdom expansion.If your body's been slowing down your mission, it's time to fix that.

Inside this ep:

Sean Barnes shares a powerful and practical framework for building your personal brand, one that creates opportunities, strengthens your reputation, and positions you as a trusted leader.

Visibility. Value. He explains how to gain self-awareness through honest feedback, how to show up intentionally (both in person and online), and how to create value in every interaction. This is a must-listen for anyone serious about becoming the kind of leader people want to work with, follow, and trust.   Podcast Show Notes – Episode 255 | 11.11.2025 Episode Title: Clarity. Visibility. Value. The Framework to Build Your Personal Brand     Key Moments 00:00 – The importance of building a personal brand 00:28 – The three pillars: Clarity, Visibility, and Value 01:00 – Clarity: understanding who you are and how you're perceived 01:22 – Seeking feedback (even from your “arch nemesis”) 02:20 – Learning from people you admire and identifying the skill gap 03:00 – Visibility: being intentional about how you show up 03:32 – Why visibility matters for leaders and professionals 04:00 – Value: giving more than you receive 04:28 – Why giving first pays off in the long run 05:00 – Becoming known as the problem solver and leader others seek out 06:00 – Building a brand that gives you choices and control in your career   Key Takeaways Clarity begins with self-awareness. You can't shape your brand until you understand how others perceive you. Visibility is intentional. Every email, meeting, and post contributes to how people experience your brand. Value compounds. When you consistently give more than you receive, opportunities naturally follow. Your reputation becomes your leverage. Being known for solving problems and uplifting others makes you magnetic. You get to choose. When you build a strong personal brand, you create the freedom to choose who you work with and how you lead.   Host: Sean Barnes Website: https://www.wolfexecutives.com   https://www.seanbarnes.com LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/seanbarnes/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/wolfexecutives https://www.linkedin.com/company/thewayofthewolf/ LinkedIn Newsletter: https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/7284600567593684993/ The Wolf Leadership Series: https://wolfexecutives.com/wolf-leadership-series/ YouTube: youtube.thewayofthewolf.com Twitter: https://x.com/the_seanbarnes https://x.com/wolfexecutives Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/the_seanbarnes https://www.instagram.com/wolfexecutives https://www.instagram.com/the_wayofthewolf TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@the_seanbarnes Email: Sean@thewayofthewolf.com Audible: https://www.audible.com/pd/The-Way-of-the-Wolf-Podcast/B08JJNXJ6C Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2BTGdO25Vop3GTpGCY8Y8E?si=ea91c1ef6dd14f15

Send us a textEpisode OverviewIn this episode of The Own It Show, Justin Roethlingshoefer challenges the popular “Start With Why” playbook. For business, it can inspire; for transformation (health, identity, spiritual life), it often fails—because purpose without identity is precarious. Justin lays out a paradoxically simple flip: Start With WHO. When you know who you are in Christ, your WHAT (daily practices) flows naturally, God supplies the HOW (people, methods, rhythms), and the WHY emerges as fruit—not as pressure. He unpacks identity-driven health, breath as a bridge between body and spirit, and how “going slow” creates depth that compounds into durable change.Episode Highlights- What “Why-First” Misses: It fuels performance-driven faith and burnout when outcomes wobble. - Purpose without identity cracks under pressure.- The Identity-First Model: WHO → WHAT → HOW → WHY- WHO: Receive identity (beloved, chosen; specific calling like “leader of leaders” or “generational shifter”). You don't earn it—you receive it.- WHAT: Practices flow from identity (sleep/wake rhythms, fueling, movement, stewardship habits).- HOW: God reveals methods, mentors, and systems as you walk in obedience.- WHY: Discovered over time as aligned fruit, not forced at the start.- Faith + Physiology: Breathwork as a physiological bridge to presence and listening; cues the nervous system toward calm so obedience becomes natural, not strained.- S.L.O.W. Tie-In: Stillness → Listen → Obedience → Wisdom. Depth first; speed later.Case Examples:- Personal: Justin's “leader of leaders” identity clarifies daily standards and decisions.- Artist: Aligning identity (“humble revivalist”) enabled capacity for larger stages without burnout.Common Traps:- Over-clarity Paralysis: Using “I don't know my why” as procrastination disguised as purpose.- Why-Churn: Chasing new missions without rooting in identity → fatigue, inconsistency.Action Steps- Morning (3 minutes): Breath, then declare 2–3 identity truths (e.g., “I am beloved,” “I am a steward,” “I am a generational shifter”).- One Identity-Aligned Action: Ask, “Given who I am, what's one thing I do today?” Do it.- Obedience Rep: Take one small obedient step daily—then journal evidence of fruit (even subtle).- Weekly Review (10 minutes): Note patterns: Did WHO make WHAT easier? Did any HOW/WHY surface?- Pair With S.L.O.W.: Create 5 minutes of stillness before planning; listen, then act.Key Ideas & Quotes“Purpose without identity is precarious.”“You don't earn your WHO; you receive it.”“Be → Do → Discover Why.”“The slower you go (in depth), the faster He can move.”“Obedience is the hinge between hearing and harvest.”Tools Mentioned- Breathwork to prime presence and recall identity before action.- Identity Journal for daily WHO statements and obedience logs.- S.L.O.W. (Stillness–Listen–Obedience–Wisdom) as the meta-rhythm for discernment.===========================Subscribe and Listen to the Own It Show HERE:➡︎ YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@justinroethlingshoefer➡︎ Apple Podcasts:https://apple.co/3KCyN3j➡︎ Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/3F58Ez4lbIKQ6kMu2pfpIG===========================Resources:⚡️CHECK OUR PROGRAMS: https://ownitcoaching.com/programs/⚡️BOOK: https://thepowerofownershipbook.com/=========================== Connect with Justin Roethlingshoefer on Social Media:➡︎ linkedin.com/in/justin-roethlingshoefer➡︎https://www.instagram.com/justinroeth/?hl=en

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, Avik sits down with neuroscience-based coach Dorota Kosiorek to unpack why doing more stops working—and how elite performers can shift from pressure to presence. We get tactical on dopamine loops, subconscious “autopilot,” and boundary-setting as a performance system. Dorota breaks down her Elite Mind Framework—from clarifying values to rewiring limiting beliefs—so leaders can achieve more by doing less, with calm confidence instead of chronic overdrive. If your calendar runs you, this is your reset.   About the guest : Dorota Kosiorek is a neuroscience-based coach and creator of the Elite Mind Framework. After 15 years across consulting and startups, she helps high achievers build healthy selfishness, stronger boundaries, and a results-without-burnout operating model.   Key takeaways: High achievers often chase dopamine hits from goals; the drop after “arrival” fuels endless pursuit and burnout. Rest ≠ laziness. Reframe recovery as a strategic input that compounds focus, creativity, and output. Autopilot rules 95% of day-to-day choices; noticing subconscious patterns is step one to changing them. Boundaries are performance infrastructure: set personal non-negotiables and practice saying no without apology. Start with values and “why” to align goals with peace—not at the expense of it. The Elite Mind Framework pillars: Explore (values/why), Liberate (subconscious reprogramming), Integrate (courage and confidence), Transcend (boundaries/healthy selfishness), Embody (purposeful, slower, legacy-driven living). Known but misaligned environments feel “safer” to the brain; courage is required to exit toxic success loops. Practical first move: schedule protected time just for you weekly; treat it as immovable as a board meeting.   How to connect with the guest   LinkedIn: Dorota Kosiorek Website: https://dorotakosiorek.com/ Instagram: @mindbydorota Free 15-minute call: Book via her website (deep-dive to identify your biggest blockers)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

In This Episode In this episode of Systems Simplified, host Adi Klevit speaks with Michael Devous about transforming fear into a leadership advantage. Michael recounts how his challenging childhood and experience in the performing arts taught him resilience and self-awareness. These lessons later inspired his Four F's Framework, a process that guides leaders to face fear, reframe it, and use it as a tool for growth and connection. Adi and Michael explore how authenticity drives effective leadership systems. Michael explains that many executives struggle because they pursue someone else's definition of success rather than their own. He helps leaders reconnect with their core values so their systems, communication, and relationships reflect genuine intent and trust. The discussion highlights empathy as a cornerstone of implementation. Michael emphasizes that leaders must shoulder responsibility for system outcomes and create environments where teams feel empowered to contribute improvements. Adi connects this to her work on system design, reinforcing that understanding the "why" behind a process ensures lasting success and engagement. Together, they reveal how authentic, empathetic leadership turns systems into vehicles for connection, efficiency, and sustainable impact.

Ever had a brilliant idea that never made it past your brain? Or watched a dream die because someone poked too many holes in it before you even had a chance to build it?In this episode of Ambitious, George Bryant is back to teach one of the most powerful frameworks I've ever learned. This is the Dream Storming model, originally created by Walt Disney to bring Disneyland to life.

What happens when life-and-death decision-making meets the boardroom? Today our guest is Dr. Geoffrey Mount Varner—a physician, author of "FAST DECISIONS: Think Fast. Be Bold. Be Fearless", and leadership expert—shares how his experience in emergency medicine led him to develop a powerful framework for decision-making under pressure. As the former head of Washington D.C.'s emergency Ebola response, Dr. Varner learned that hesitation can be deadly. Today, he brings that same clarity and urgency to the world of business leadership. Dr. Varner explains how most leaders waste valuable "decision energy" by treating every choice as equally important. His approach teaches executives to quickly identify which decisions deserve deep thought and which can be made in seconds. At the core of his DPD framework—Deep Breath, Pause, Decide—is a deceptively simple but scientifically grounded process that empowers leaders to quiet emotion, activate intuition, and make confident, timely decisions. He and Peter Winick dive into how the corporate world often rewards inaction—where delayed or avoided decisions are seen as safe career moves. Dr. Varner argues that indecision is, in fact, a decision—and one that can cripple organizations. He offers practical, repeatable ways for leaders to break through analysis paralysis, train their teams for agility, and create a culture of accountability and speed. Finally, Dr. Varner reflects on his own transition from medicine to thought leadership—transforming his crisis-tested experience into a business-ready system. Through books, speaking engagements, and workshops, he's building a new generation of leaders who make better choices, faster. Because in both medicine and business, the ability to decide well can be the difference between success and failure. Three Key Takeaways: • Decisiveness Is a Trainable Skill. Great leaders aren't born decisive—they're trained. Dr. Varner's DPD framework (Deep Breath, Pause, Decide) helps leaders manage emotion, engage intuition, and act with confidence under pressure. • Not All Decisions Deserve Equal Attention. Leaders often waste energy treating minor choices like major ones. Dr. Varner categorizes decisions by consequence—low, medium, and high—so leaders can spend their time where it matters most. • Indecision Is Still a Decision. In business as in medicine, delayed action carries risks. Dr. Varner reminds leaders that avoiding decisions is itself a choice—one that can stall progress, weaken accountability, and erode trust. If you found value in this episode's focus on making faster, smarter decisions under pressure, you'll want to check out "Making Better Decisions Through Thought Leadership" with Thomas Lahnthaler. In that conversation, Thomas explores how the strategic use of thought leadership isn't just about ideas—it's about preparing teams for inevitable crisis-points, creating choices rather than waiting for them, and harnessing collective insight when the pressure's on. Listen to both episodes back-to-back to unlock how frameworks + mindset + action combine to turn uncertainty into advantage and hesitation into leadership momentum.

In this episode, we dive into how mindfulness can transform sex, intimacy and connection. As modern humans, we live a lot of life on autopilot, stressed and hustling. We crave more presence, self-care, intimacy and authenticity. Drawing on the research of psychologist & sex-researcher Dr. Lori Brotto, author of Better Sex Through Mindfulness: How Women Can Cultivate Desire, we explore what's really going on when stressed, multitasking and distraction undermine our intimacy. I share with you many concrete mindfulness practices you can bring into your body, your relationship, your everyday life. If you want to deepen your connection (with yourself or your partner), stop doing sex like it's a task, and rediscover the gift of intimacy.    Resources shared: Winter Mindfulness Retreat Details & Sign Up: retreat.centeredinthecity.org Lori Brotto, PHD Better Sex Throough Mindfulness: How Women can Cultivate Desire  Learn more about the Mindful Hand of Self-care Framework in 100 Mindful Moments to Balance & Energize Get in your body with Centered Walks --guided walking meditations: WadeBrill.com/centeredwalks  

In this episode, Brian Miller and Chad Hall unpack one of the most practical frameworks for growing a coaching practice — drawn from Acts 1:8 and the idea of starting in "Jerusalem" (the people who already know, like, and trust you) before moving outward to "Judea," "Samaria," and "the ends of the earth." Through stories, examples, and coaching wisdom, they explore why so many coaches try to start in Samaria — with websites and strangers — instead of the relationships that already surround them. The conversation blends biblical insight with business strategy, helping listeners reframe how they think about client development and confidence building. Key Highlights The "Jerusalem–Judea–Samaria–Ends of the Earth" model provides a spiritual and strategic roadmap for building a coaching practice. Many new coaches mistakenly try to market to strangers (Samaria) instead of starting with those who already know and trust them (Jerusalem). Confidence grows naturally when you start with low-hanging fruit — people ready and willing to engage — rather than high-hanging, resistant prospects. A handful of "champions" in your life want you to succeed and are eager to open doors, but you have to be willing to ask for help. Building a network takes time and humility — and knowing where you're starting is essential to making sustainable progress. Takeaways Start in your Jerusalem. Focus first on people who already know, like, and trust you. These are the relationships most ready to bear fruit. Ask for help. Don't rob your champions of the blessing of supporting you. They want to help — and connecting you is often their joy. Build confidence through success. Each small win strengthens your confidence and credibility, preparing you for larger opportunities. Be clear and courageous. Tell people you're getting started and invite them to partner with you — at least one will likely say yes. Expand outward intentionally. As your network and experience grow, let your influence move naturally from Jerusalem to Judea to Samaria, rather than leaping ahead.

Boring Problems, Big Wins, Community‑Driven AI Adoption AI is not overhyped, it is under-implemented. Ken Roden and Erin Mills chat with Sheena Miles on how to move from tool obsession to behavior change, her three stage framework, and the practical KPIs that prove progress before revenue shows up. We also talk AI policy that unlocks safe experimentation, community as an accelerator, and Sheena demos how she spins up n8n workflows from a prompt. Chapter markers 00:00, Cold open and disclaimer 01:00, Is AI overhyped, what is really failing 03:20, Early indicators versus lagging revenue, set better goals 04:20, Exec view, target 3 percent faster time to market 06:00, Avoid AI slop, find repetitive, boring work 07:00, Guest intro 09:00, Real state of adoption, dual speed orgs and siloed champions 10:45, Teach concepts, not tools 12:00, Policy, security review, AI council 14:00, Behavior beats features 15:30, Community for accountability and shared assets 17:30, Live n8n demo, import a skeleton workflow and adapt 35:00, AI first versus AI native, embed into workflows 36:30, Influence without authority, solve a champion's boring problem 38:00, Inclusion and usage gaps, why it matters to the business 40:00, Skills that matter now, prompting, rapid testing, communicating thought process 43:00, Why to be optimistic 45:00, Lightning round 48:00, Host debrief and takeaways Key takeaways Hype versus reality, most failures are vague goals and tool-first rollouts, not AI itself. • Measure what you can now, speed to market, cycle time, sprint throughput, ticket deflection, before revenue. • Framework, Activate, Amplify, Accelerate, start small, spread what works, then institutionalize. • Policy unlocks velocity, simple rules for data and tool vetting plus a cross functional council. • Behavior over features, learn inputs and outputs so skills transfer across tools. • Community compounds, accountability and shared templates speed learning. • Start with boring problems, compliance questionnaires, asset generation, ticket clustering, call insights. • AI first versus AI native, move from sidecar to embedded with human review gates. • Inclusion is a business lever, close usage gaps or accept a productivity gap. Sheena's three stage framework Activate, prove value safely • Define the problem, validate AI fit, run a small pilot. • Track accuracy thresholds and time saved. • Example, auto draft responses to repetitive compliance questionnaires from a vetted knowledge base. Amplify, spread what works • Connect adjacent teams, add light governance, share patterns. • Run cross team pilots and publish playbooks. • Example, connect support tickets, payments, compliance, partner success to detect issues proactively. Accelerate, institutionalize • Assign ownership, embed training, integrate tools, set ROI guardrails. • Roll out across channels and systems with quality gates. • Example, ad copy system owned by demand gen, content as QA, used across paid, email, social. Hot Takes from Sheena “Policy enables speed if you write it to unblock safe experiments.” “Stop memorizing tool steps, learn the concepts so they transfer.” “Solve the boring problem first, that is where AI pays for itself.” “If NRR belongs to someone, it belongs to everyone.” Resources & Links Sheena Miles on LinkedIn Women Defining AI, podcast and community n8n About FutureCraft Stay tuned for more insightful episodes from the FutureCraft podcast, where we continue to explore the evolving intersection of AI and GTM.

Harnessing the Power of DesignLoop: Elevating Your Amazon Listing Strategy Episode Overview In this episode, Danny McMillan discusses the pitfalls of relying solely on AI for design automation, emphasizing the importance of human creativity in the design process. He introduces DesignLoop, a tool designed to help sellers generate high-quality images and videos while maintaining a human touch. This episode explores ai in design automation, importance of human creativity in marketing with practical insights for immediate implementation. We've been building DesignLoop, a human-in-the-loop creative studio for images and video. I'll roll it out to the community soon - you just plug in your API keys and pay for what you use. No subscriptions, and here's the bonus: it's actually a lot cheaper than plugging directly into OpenAI and Google.       We have had a few delays, scrapping it three times in the last few weeks and then building it again.       The upside? We've built in a video storyboard Framework with rhythm-based pacing and multi-shot sequences, image recognition with Claude Vision, system logic level prompts tuned to each model, slash commands with a prompt library, and plenty of guardrails reducing expensive sling - shot slop, all while being significantly cheaper per second. Key Takeaways Design cannot be fully automated; human creativity and judgment are crucial in the design process, especially for marketing effectiveness. Having a breadth of quality assets can significantly enhance the design and marketing processes, reducing costs and improving results. Chapter Markers Time Chapter Description 00:01 Introduction to DesignLoop Danny introduces DesignLoop, highlighting its purpose to avoid generic designs often produced by AI, and stresses the need for human expertise in the creative process. 02:17 The Importance of Human Involvement Danny discusses the critical role humans play in design, particularly for creating effective marketing assets that convert customers. 04:27 Critiques of Current Marketing Strategies Danny critiques the common approach of saturating listings with visuals, arguing for more thoughtful design that resonates with customers. 06:32 Why DesignLoop is Free Danny explains his motivation for offering DesignLoop for free, focusing on supporting sellers and enhancing the overall industry. 10:42 Demonstration of Outputs Danny demonstrates the capabilities of DesignLoop, showcasing the assets generated and discussing the process behind creating effective videos. 24:14 Pacing and Dynamics in Video Creation Danny elaborates on the aspects of pacing and dynamics in video production, emphasizing their significance in delivering impactful content. 49:39 Final Thoughts on Automation Danny wraps up by discussing the future of automation in design and the importance of retaining a human element for quality outcomes. Notable Quotes "The heartbeat of the industry is the seller; we need to support you." Resources Mentioned
