We're always talking about how to create strategic plans and then execute them with intention for immediate action and measurement. As we like to do on this show, we bring forth many different approaches and ways of thinking, because we know not every tool is a one-size-fits-all. Today, that focus is on the OKR framework aka Objectives & Key Results. We wanted you to learn from an expert who knows OKRs better than anyone, so we welcomed on Philipp Schett. He's the Founder of Wave Nine, the #1 OKR consulting firm. You'll also love their free OKR Crash Course.

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, Ray Sclafani explores why New Year's resolutions fail inside advisory firms and what high-performing advisory teams do differently when designing kickoff meetings. Drawing on behavioral research and real-world coaching experience, Ray explains that the early breakdown of resolutions is not a motivation problem, it is a design problem.Ray introduces the concept of positive intent, a practical leadership approach that replaces vague resolutions with clear statements of what a team will do, how it will do it, and why it matters. He emphasizes that effective kickoff meetings begin before the meeting itself, with leaders building trust through one-on-one conversations that connect personal goals to professional alignment.The Five-Part Kickoff Meeting Framework for High-Performing Advisory TeamsRefine Annual OKRs to Align Advisory Team Outcomes Define clear objectives and measurable key results that improve client experience, advisory firm performance, and team effectiveness—starting with outcomes, not activity.Set Clear Advisory Firm Priorities With a Strong “Why” Identify the top priorities for the year and state each with positive intent, linking daily decisions to client value and long-term advisory firm strategy.Celebrate the Prior Year to Reinforce Team Performance Recognize wins, reflect on lessons learned, and reinforce behaviors that contributed to advisory team success and sustainable growth.Reinforce Advisory Firm Values Through Shared Team Experiences Bring firm values to life by highlighting real behaviors and building trust through meaningful shared experiences that strengthen advisory team culture.Align Individual Growth and Development With Team Objectives Encourage team members to state clear personal and professional growth intentions that directly support advisory firm priorities and client outcomes.Key TakeawaysMost New Year's resolutions fail within the first six to eight weeksPositive intent provides operational clarity around what will be done, how, and whyLeaders strengthen teams by connecting personally before aligning professionallyKickoff meetings should start with outcomes, not activitiesTeams grow sustainably when individual development aligns with team goalsQuestions Financial Advisors Often AskQ: Why do New Year's resolutions fail in advisory firms?A: Resolutions tend to fail early because they are often vague, reactive, and focused on avoidance rather than progress. According to research referenced in the episode, most resolutions break down within the first six to eight weeks, indicating a design problem rather than a lack of motivation.Q: What is “positive intent” in a kickoff meeting?A: Positive intent is a clear statement of what the team will do, how it will do it, and why it matters. Unlike resolutions, positive intent provides operational clarity and helps teams sustain momentum throughout the year.Q: What should be included in an advisory firm kickoff meeting?A: High-performing advisory teams include five parts: refining OKRs, setting clear priorities with a clear why, celebrating the previous year, reinforcing values through shared experiences, and aligning individual growth with team objectives.Q: Why is celebrating the previous year important?A: Recognition reinforces effective behavior, and reflection turns experience into learning. High-performing teams take time to acknowledge what worked and what did not before moving forward.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

For SMEs and startups, things are always changing—new projects, growing teams, and evolving products. Amidst this growth, cybersecurity often takes a backseat. However, protecting your business from cyber threats is more important than ever.In this episode, Anh Pham, Director of Penetration Testing and Security at Trava, explains how a robust Continuous Threat Exposure Management (CTEM) framework can help businesses stay secure.

Send us a textWhen Saving More Stops Helping: Finding the Balance Between Financial Discipline and EnjoymentIn this episode of Retire Early. Retire Now, Hunter Kelly, a certified financial planner and owner of Palm Valley Wealth Management, discusses the critical point at which aggressive saving stops being beneficial and starts to compromise quality of life. Addressing high-income earners who save diligently yet feel hesitant to spend, Hunter explores the concept of over-optimizing finances and its impact on day-to-day fulfillment. He provides a framework for identifying when additional saving no longer significantly benefits future financial stability and instead suggests reallocating efforts towards meaningful experiences and satisfaction. Hunter emphasizes the importance of using money as a tool to enhance life rather than just accumulating wealth, advocating for a balanced financial plan that aligns with personal values and long-term goals.00:00 Introduction to Retire Early00:54 The Over-Saver's Dilemma01:33 The Messy Middle Phase03:39 Signs of Over-Optimizing05:50 The Law of Diminishing Returns09:19 A Framework for Balanced Saving11:29 Reallocating with Intention12:31 Conclusion and Next StepsCheck out the Palm Valley Wealth Management WebsitePalmValleywm.comCheck us out on InstagramLinkedIn FacebookListen to the Podcast Here!

In this episode of the BAM Coaches Podcast, we break down a simple but powerful framework for evaluating, building, and teaching offense in basketball.Coleman Ayers introduces a three-part lens: advantage creation, advantage maintenance, and advantage finishing to help coaches cut through the chaos of offensive evaluation. Instead of getting lost in systems, sets, or play calls, this framework allows coaches to clearly identify where their offense is breaking down and why.The episode dives into practical coaching applications, including how individual skill, spacing, decision-making, and small-sided games all play a role in creating efficient offense. Coleman also explains how this same framework can be flipped defensively, giving coaches a universal tool for both ends of the floor.Episode Breakdown & Timestamps00:00 – Introduction & Episode Framing 01:55 – The Advantage Framework Explained 03:39 – Using the Coach's Eye vs. Data 04:20 – Advantage Creation: Putting the Defense in Panic Mode 05:46 – Advantage Maintenance: Keeping the Dominoes Falling 07:22 – Individual Skill as an Advantage Killer 09:00 – Advantage Finishing: Shot Selection & Shot Making 10:00 – Identifying the Real Rate Limiter in Your Offense 12:14 – Building Advantage Creation in Practice 15:07 – Transition as an Advantage Creation Tool 17:21 – Why Teams Lose Advantages 21:17 – Training Advantage Finishing the Right Way 23:14 – Flipping the Framework Defensively 26:27 – Final Thoughts & Wrap-Up

Data and AI are everywhere right now, but most teams are still guessing where to start. In this episode, Cameran Hetrick, VP of Data and Insights at BetterUp, breaks down what actually works when you move from AI hype to real business impact. You will hear a practical way to choose AI and analytics projects, how to spot low risk wins, and why clean, governed data still decides what is possible. Cameran also shares a simple mindset shift, stop copying broken workflows, and start rethinking the outcome you are trying to create.Key Takeaways• AI is a catchall term right now, the best early wins usually come from “assist” use cases that boost speed and quality, not full replacement• Start with low context, low complexity work, then earn your way into higher context projects as data quality and governance mature• Pick use cases with an impact versus effort lens, quick wins create proof, buy in, and budget for bigger bets• Stakeholders often ask for a data point or feature, but the real value comes from digging into the goal, and redesigning the workflow• Data teams cannot stop at insights, adoption matters, if the next team cannot act on the output, the project stallsTimestamped Highlights00:40 BetterUp's mission, building a human transformation platform for peak performance01:57 AI as a “catchall,” where expectations are realistic, and where they are not05:19 A useful way to think about AI work, context versus complexity, and why “intern level” framing helps07:33 How to choose projects with an impact and level of effort calculator, and why trust in data is everything10:33 The hard part, translating stakeholder requests into real outcomes, and reimagining workflows instead of automating bad ones13:47 Systems thinking across handoffs, plus why teams need deeper business fluency, including P and L basics16:59 The last mile problem, if the next stakeholder cannot act, the value never lands20:27 The bottom line, AI does not change the fundamentals, it accelerates themA Line Worth Saving“AI is like an intern, it still needs direction from somebody who understands the mechanics of the business.” Practical Moves You Can Use• Run every idea through two quick questions, what business impact do we expect, and what level of effort will it take• Look for a win you can explain in one minute, then use it to fund the harder work• When someone asks for a metric or feature, ask why twice, then validate the workflow, then redesign the outcome• Invest in governed data early, untrusted outputs kill adoption fastCall to ActionIf this episode helped you think more clearly about AI in the real world, follow the show, leave a quick review, and share it with one operator who is trying to move from experiments to impact.

You just signed another client, but instead of feeling excited, your stomach drops. Because you know exactly what happened, they want you for work you've been trying to move away from for the past year. You say yes anyway (because bills), then spend the next three months resenting every time their name pops up in your inbox. Sound familiar?This isn't a marketing problem or a messaging issue. It's an identity split, and it's the thing keeping you at the same income level month after month. You're saying one thing but selling another, and your business follows what you're selling, not what you're talking about. In this episode, I'm breaking down why you keep attracting clients for work you've outgrown, what this identity misalignment is actually costing you (financially and emotionally), and the exact steps to finally commit to the version of yourself you're trying to become.Key Points Covered:✨ Why your nervous system keeps you straddling two identities, and why the old one always wins✨ The audit questions to spot where your split identity is most obvious (Instagram vs website, bio vs offers)✨ What happens when you finally commit to one identity and align your whole business around it

Disruption is everywhere. AI, careers, leadership, nothing stays the same. My guest today, Patrick Leddin, a leadership expert, former Army captain, and Vanderbilt professor, encountered that reality in a powerful way while sitting in a classroom listening to James Patterson share a deeply personal story. After losing his fiancée to cancer, Patterson transformed profound loss into a platform for impact. That moment reshaped Patrick's thinking and eventually led to their collaboration on Disrupt Everything. In this episode, Patrick joins me to show why disruption isn't a threat, but an opportunity. He breaks down how people respond when certainty disappears. He shares how that single classroom experience sparked years of research into what he calls “positive disruptors,” individuals who do not collapse under change, but channel it to create meaningful progress. We analyze how disruption reveals personal agency, why resistance is a natural response, and what separates those who get stuck from those who move forward with intention. Patrick also opens up about co-authoring Disrupt Everything and Win, leaving a prestigious academic role, and building a movement centered on purpose-driven leadership. Whether you're navigating a career shift, organizational upheaval, or personal uncertainty, this episode will challenge how you think about disruption and show you how to use it instead of fearing it.

So I have to understand what their reasons are." "You can teach anybody how to turn a machine on and off, but you need a great culture to make sure that that machine keeps running." "If cost is the reason that somebody comes to you, it's the exact reason they will leave you." "Trust can only be there if there's integrity. Integrity can only be there if there's respect by experience." "The real joy is in the act of giving, not the gift." "In order to be great in business, it actually starts at home. Because life and business are all about relationships. Anyone who thinks business is about money misses the mark." "If you can't grow, then you've got to go. Once you hit your limit, or once you're bored, or once you are no longer interested, you need to know it's time to train somebody and move on, and give somebody the opportunity to make it even bigger and better than you did."

Objective of the Plan Lower healthcare costs for Americans. Extend expiring ACA subsidies temporarily while transitioning to a new system. Shift financial benefits from insurance companies to individuals. Proposed Measures Two-year extension of Enhanced Premium Tax Credits (originally expanded during COVID-19). Income eligibility cap for subsidies at 700% of the federal poverty line to prevent wealthy Americans from benefiting. Minimum premium payments to ensure cost-sharing. Encourage Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) and direct tax credits to individuals rather than insurers. Push for cost-sharing reductions that were previously blocked in Congress. Financial Impact Congressional Budget Office (CBO) estimates reforms could: Lower premiums by 12.7%. Save taxpayers $30.8 billion. Criticism of ACA for being “unsustainable” and increasing premiums by 80% since passage. Political Context Democrats opposed previous Republican attempts to include cost-sharing reductions in legislation. Debate over whether reforms should be bipartisan or passed via budget reconciliation. Trump emphasizes “power to the people” by allowing individuals to control healthcare spending. Underlying Philosophy There is a strong focus on consumer choice and freedom. Opposition to government-managed healthcare and subsidies flowing to insurance companies. A belief that direct-to-consumer funding will reduce corruption and lower costs. Please Hit Subscribe to this podcast Right Now.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a law firm owner looking to change how you run your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Mathew Kerbis, a lawyer and founder of Subscription Attorney discusses how AI is transforming legal work and why the traditional billable hour model is becoming obsolete. Mathew talks about the framework for using AI effectively within the legal space. It is important to remember that AI tools, like ChatGPT, are not calculators. They have biases and are reinforced by the humans who designed them. They are also not perfect and should be used as an aid. For the legal space, AI should be used to give you all the information before giving you an answer.Mathew delves into the topic of the billable hour model and why firms should move to subscription based models. The billable hour includes doing a bunch of tasks for a client within a set time frame for a price. If a client only pays you for one hour, you are only working for that hour. But switching to a subscription based model with AI in mind means you can scale your business better. You can develop better relationships with clients because there is predictable revenue.Listen in to learn more!4:38 The Latent Legal Market Opportunity9:11 Framework for Using AI Effectively13:25 Retrieval Augmented Generation & Tool Selection16:07 AI in Legal Practice19:10 The End of the Billable Hour & Subscription BenefitsTune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Mathew:Website  Linkedin Youtube

Most people are sold outcomes, some are sold habits, but very few conversations go deeper into what is underneath those actions in the first place. That internal layer, your beliefs, your self image, your emotional and mental framework, is where everything either holds together or eventually falls apart .I walk through the foundation of the work I teach, learning to love and appreciate the body you have and the person underneath it, developing real self confidence that comes from trusting yourself, and building consistency as a skill rather than chasing motivation. This is the inside/out approach to fitness and life, starting where you are, honoring your preferences, removing guilt and shame from food and movement, and creating a structure you can live with for decades, not weeks.I also share personal context from my own journey with cerebral palsy, how adaptation, patience, and self respect have shaped the way I train, eat, and show up in the world. This episode is about moving away from insecurity driven marketing and pressure, and toward calm confidence, deliberate pace, and sustainable habits that support your quality of life long term.If you are tired of restarting, forcing yourself into plans that do not fit, or feeling like something is missing even when you do everything right, this episode will help you understand what actually creates lasting change.Please share this episode with anyone you think would be interested in listening to it.Visit darylperrypodcast.com for links to the show page on each of the major podcast directories.

Welcome back to Bri Books!This episode of Bri Books is about locking in. Not chasing. Not manifesting yet. Not reinventing your entire life. We talk a lot about goals, but rarely about how to choose direction before movement. Lock-in means deciding where you're headed before you start rowing. If you listened to the Winter Reset episode, this is the natural next step. Softness created space. Now we decide what fills it. If you're new to the show, leave a review of Bri Books on Apple Podcasts, and listen to Bri Books on Apple Podcasts and Spotify.Please tell me where you're traveling to by using #bribooks on Instagram and subscribe to the Bri Books newsletter at bribookspod.com/newsletter.  This framework is designed to help you set goals that can be assessed and revised, not failed. If you're listening along, pause here if you need to. This episode works best with a notebook. Step 1: Choose Your Goal Areas Start by writing down three to five areas of your life that matter most right now. Not ten, not everything, just. few.  These are containers, not goals. Examples might include career, creative work, health, money, relationships, home, or learning. Write your own list. These areas simply hold your attention--they don't demand outcomes (yet).  Step 2: Understand Rudders and Oars This entire framework rests on two ideas: Rudders determine direction. Oars create movement. A rudder is not a task or a dream. A rudder answers: What direction am I steering this part of my life in? An oar answers: What am I actually doing, regularly, to move? You need both. Without a rudder, you row in circles.Without oars, you drift. Step 3: Set Your Rudders (Directional Language) For each life area, write one sentence that defines direction. Rudders are written in the present tense. They're directional, not outcome-based, and free from numbers, pressure, or deadlines. They describe orientation, not achievement. Examples of structure: "I am steering my career toward work that values ___." "I am orienting my health around consistency, not intensity." "I am prioritizing creative output over perfection." Now write yours. Leave space—you'll revisit them. Step 4: Define Your Oars (Action Language) For each rudder, choose one to three oars only. Good oars are repeatable, realistic, and observable They sound like "I write for 60 minutes, three times a week", or "I review finances every Sunday", or "I submit one pitch per month." They do not sound like "Be disciplined," "Try harder", or "finally get it together." Your oars should be specific enough that you can tell whether you did them—without judgment. Step 5: Lock-In Means Review, Not Perfection Lock-in doesn't mean committing forever. It means: you write it down, you work it, you assess it, and you revise it quarterly. If something isn't working, that's not failure—it's information. We'll go deeper into the review process in the Year-in-Review episode. What Comes Next  Once direction and movement are defined, the next step is learning how to work with desire and intention without forcing outcomes.That's where we're headed next: manifestation journaling—slow, grounded, and pressure-free.

We're kicking off the 2026 podcast episodes with this insight to the 6 different levels of thinking.   When we set goals, most of us consider just the ONE level: what BEHAVIOURS do I need to change?   This is important, but it's not the only level we need to consider if we want more rapid and permanent change.   I first came across the 6 Logical Levels when I was stydying for my NLP practioners course, and have used it regularly since then.   In this short episode I will walk you through all 6 levels - environment, behaviours, capabilities, beliefs & values, identity and purpose - and explain how you can use it to expand your thinking when you're considering a new goal or change.   In the introduction I also share the reason I believe this podcast is still going - 5 years after the first episode back in January 2021 - and my approach to some of the solo episodes I have produced in that time (including this one!)   Whatever your goals are for the next 12 months, I wish you success, motivation and all the resilience you need to get back on track when you face the inevitable challenges along the way.   Thank you for listening to A Bit Of A Boost!

Welcome to a monumental episode!

You'll learn how to apply the well-known SMART Goal framework (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-bound) to complex real estate scenarios, moving beyond simple concepts like weight loss and property acquisition to tackle challenges like improving your professional network and quantifying hard-to-measure skills.Crucially, we explore the difference between Outcome Goals (like "buy a building") and Habit Goals (like "make one offer a week"). Outcome goals point the way, but it's the consistent habits—the daily actions—that actually generate long-term equity and financial freedom. We discuss why focusing solely on outcomes often leads to frustration and how aligning your habits with your "big why" is the secret to enduring motivation and change.Tune in to learn:How to apply the SMART criteria to real estate goals (from property acquisition to network growth).The essential role of Habit Goals in manifesting your investment outcomes.Why deep alignment with your goals (your "big why") is the non-negotiable key to sustaining difficult behavioral change.Full details on the rebrand to The Equity Builders Club and our new focus on Canadian real estate for 2026.Don't miss this final episode before the pivot!

Tired of students constantly asking "What do I do next?" or aimlessly bouncing between tasks during work time? In this episode, I unpack one of the most common frustrations educators face when trying to promote student agency—learners who simply don't know how to manage themselves. I share a practical tool that changed everything for our classroom: the Self-Direction Rubric. It's a simple, structured approach that helps students develop essential executive functioning skills—from time management to self-monitoring—without you needing to hover. Learn how our Montessori middle school students went from floundering in our 90-minute "work cycle" unstructured time—getting distracted, procrastinating, and relying on us for constant direction, to tracking their growth, identifying their own learning habits, and setting meaningful goals. You'll learn: Why most students aren't ready for full autonomy—and how to meet them where they are The 5 self-direction domains that matter more than completing a to-do list How rubrics help students monitor impulse control, goal setting, planning, and reflection A simple weekly routine that builds self-directed behaviors over time How this shift moves the student-teacher relationship from compliance to coaching Whether you're running PBL, giving open project blocks, or managing a flexible classroom schedule, this tool helps you scaffold student agency without sacrificing structure.

If your business is working objectively but feels tighter or heavier on the inside, you may be operating inside a model that's past its natural life cycle. Anna unpacks why "optimising the old" won't solve deeper friction, and shares a practical 4Rs framework to recognise the signals, review the scripts keeping you stuck, redesign the blueprint, and rebuild in a way that fits who you are now. Key takeaways: Outgrowing your business model is a normal stage: business structures have life cycles, and misalignment is often a signal of growth. If the business only works when you overextend, the issue is structural resilience — not your motivation, discipline, or capability. Small tweaks can become a "Frankenstein model": complexity that patches today's problem while compounding tomorrow's. The shift is from optimising the old to redesigning the blueprint: who you are now, what you want to deliver, and what container fits. Rebuilding isn't starting over: it's evolving boundaries, offers, delivery, pricing, systems and visibility so the business supports your life.

Joe Withrow, Brian Moody, and Hans Toohey deliver a joint strategy session on building a financial foundation that survives contact with reality. Why does traditional financial planning put growth before protection? What happens when your plan gets punched in the face? And why is Infinite Banking the only savings vehicle that accomplishes two critical goals simultaneously?Most people have been trained to think their 401(k) is savings and their term life insurance is "just in case." They're told to focus on growth—index funds, average rates of return, retirement projections—while protection and actual savings become afterthoughts. But when job loss hits, disability strikes, or markets crater, the whole plan collapses. This episode reveals the proper order of operations: protect first, save second, grow third. Hans breaks down why "average rate of return" is a meaningless data point. Brian illustrates the parallel paths of protection and wealth accumulation with the diagram that makes it all click. And Joe explains why buying insurance isn't an expense if you do it correctly—it's saving money that immediately becomes accessible capital.The conversation covers IBC mechanics, policy loans that don't disrupt compounding, real estate purchases funded with cash value, the power of dinner table time for passing down values, and why building generational wealth starts with one decision: get the foundation right, then everything else becomes possible.Chapters:00:00 - Opening segment01:25 - New Year's resolutions: tangible goals vs. vague aspirations08:50 - The invention of "Retirement Inc." in the 1970s11:05 - Protect, Save, Grow: the proper order of operations13:10 - What traditional CFPs get wrong about protection14:35 - Why "average rate of return" is a useless metric16:40 - Brian's parallel paths diagram begins19:30 - The two parallel paths: protection and wealth accumulation22:30 - What can disrupt the wealth curve?

Merry Christmas!!!!! This episode is Part 2 of our year-end series. Last week, we walked through the internal shifts our team made this year. Today, we hand that same framework to you — so you can reset, simplify, and refocus your leadership as you prepare for 2026. This conversation is a practical guide to finishing well, regaining clarity, and building momentum without burning out or carrying unnecessary weight into the new year. You'll learn: Why real momentum begins with subtraction, pruning, and clarity — not doing more How to create simple decision filters so every choice doesn't drain your energy The “dance floor vs. balcony” mindset — working on your leadership, not just inside the grind Why mature leaders practice necessary endings instead of clinging to what used to work How clarity leads to freedom, focus, and healthier impact Use these reflection prompts as you reset for 2026: What is slowing you down right now? What is one change that would increase your momentum heading into 2026? What are you too close to that someone else should carry or share? When you zoom out, what becomes clear about what must stay, shift, or end? Give yourself at least an hour (two is better) to look back honestly — and aim your energy intentionally toward the year ahead. The real currency of leadership isn't time… it's energy.
