The Goal Setting Framework For Work And Life That Keeps Us Moving Forward In 2026 In this reflective solo episode, Emylee shares the exact 3-pillar framework she uses to set goals at Pharos—and in her own life. Recorded during a quiet early-morning drive down the mountain after the annual leadership retreat, she reflects on the progress the team made in 2025, the lessons learned, and the clarity that comes from reviewing both the wins and the challenges.She introduces the three types of goals that guide every decision at Pharos: • Financial – supporting stability, reinvestment, and long-term health. • Community – delivering on the promise of results, connection, and service. • Cohesion – building systems and infrastructure that keep the team aligned and the experience consistent.Listeners will learn how to use this exact framework in their own lives by brainstorming everything they could do, then identifying the one to three “rocks” that will truly move the needle in the next 90 days. Emylee breaks down how to think in quarterly pushes, avoid overwhelm, and build a year that feels intentional—rather than rushed.Interested in working with us to get a plan of action for you? Join our 7-Day Results Accelerator kicking off each Monday in January 2026 for anyone craving momentum, clarity, and a roadmap they can actually stick to.
In this episode of SOIC, we discuss a powerful investing mental model called product mix change. We analyze two precision engineering companies — SANSERA Engineering and Shriram Pistons & Rings — to understand how legacy auto businesses are using their cash flows to build future-ready segments.Sansera is moving beyond ICE auto components into aerospace, defence, semiconductors, and EV-agnostic parts, while Shriram Pistons is using its pistons business as a cash cow to expand into automotive interiors and ambient lighting through acquisitions.This episode is not about buy or sell recommendations. It is initial research focused on understanding how businesses transition over time and how investors can track long-term value creation using the product mix change framework.

The Third Growth Option with Benno Duenkelsbuehler and Guests
Are you looking for a Third Growth Option ℠ ? Growth can stall even when the product is loved, pricing is right, and teams deliver on time. The blocker is mixing pre-sale and post-sale decisions in the same conversation. Our Sherpas use a simple pattern to untangle it: The Chef and the Waiter Framework.Dining room = pre-salePositioning, messaging, pricing, sales assets.Kitchen = post-saleManufacturing, logistics, inventory, fulfillment.In one factory case, a small design upgrade unlocked a larger market at a higher price. Fear around costs and delays froze progress. By running pre-sale testing and post-sale capacity planning in parallel, momentum returned.The target was $10M in new revenue over three years. The result: $14M delivered, compounding into $100M+. Not luck—clear roles, fast feedback, and simultaneous execution.If your revenue needle won't move, audit your process. Split pre-sale and post-sale work. Stop mixing meetings. Clarity accelerates the climb.Always growing.Benno Duenkelsbuehler CEO & Chief Sherpa of (re)ALIGN reALIGNforResults.com benno@realignforresults.com

If you audited your recruiting technology stack the same way you audit your P&L, many would be shocked by the grade.We tend to look at software as a line item expense. But in 2025, your platform is your operating system. If it's broken, your business is bleeding revenue, even if the subscription cost seems “manageable.” To help you see whether your technology investment is helping or hurting you, we developed a 5-point framework to objectively grade your current setup. It's a strategic audit to help you figure out exactly where your bottlenecks are.
Dr. Catriona Wallace discusses the ideas in her new book, “Rapid Transformation,” which outlines a science based framework for accelerating leadership development. Wallace explains how ritual, awakened thinking and emerging technology can help leaders adapt more quickly to social and technological change.
What if the key to growing your clinic online isn't posting more - but posting with purpose?In this episode, we sit down with naturopath and strategist Rebecca Talia to explore a calmer, more strategic way for healthcare practitioners to show up on social media. Instead of chasing trends or feeling pressured to be perfect, Rebecca reframes social platforms as a living extension of your website, a place where prospective clients can hear your voice, understand your values, and get a sense of how you work.We unpack the fears that keep many clinicians silent: worrying about saying the “wrong” thing, looking unpolished, or being judged by peers. Rebecca replaces those fears with clarity of purpose - educate, connect, and invite. From there, we map the boundaries that make authenticity sustainable: what to keep private, how to protect your family and location, and why trust does not require vulnerability that feels unsafe or misaligned. You'll learn how a simple cadence of one to three posts per week is enough to build momentum, and how consistency outperforms volume every time.Then we move into the practical framework practitioners can start using today. Attraction posts help new people find you through plain-language education and myth-busting. Nurture posts deepen trust with behind-the-scenes process and de-identified case insights. Conversion posts offer clear, low-pressure invitations - book a discovery call, download a resource, or join an upcoming workshop. Rebecca also explains how “giving” content like recipes and checklists boosts saves and shares, expanding your reach so your invitations land with the right audience.If you've felt overwhelmed by algorithms, trends, or the pressure to overshare, this conversation brings relief, clarity, and an actionable roadmap. Subscribe, share with a colleague who needs a confidence boost, and let us know the one shift you'll make in your posting routine.Shownotes and references are available on the Designs for Health websiteRegister as a Designs for Health Practitioner and discover quality practitioner- only supplements at www.designsforhealth.com.au Follow us on Socials Instagram: Designsforhealthaus Facebook: Designsforhealthaus DISCLAIMER: The Information provided in the Wellness by Designs podcast is for educational purposes only; the information presented is not intended to be used as medical advice; please seek the advice of a qualified healthcare professional if what you have heard here today raises questions or concerns relating to your health

Most entrepreneurs fail at the exact moment they should be making the most money. They teach, they inspire, they deliver value, but when it is time to present the offer, everything falls apart. In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I share one of the most powerful Funnel Hacking Live presentations we have ever had. McCall Jones takes the beloved children's book If You Give a Mouse a Cookie and reveals the hidden structure inside it that makes it the perfect framework for building irresistible offers. Once you see how it works, you will never build your offers the same way again. Key Highlights: ◼️Why most entrepreneurs unintentionally sabotage their offers by bundling random products together instead of solving a customer's sequential problems ◼️The Mouse a Cookie method for creating an offer path that moves someone from their pain to their desired result ◼️How to build an offer even when you cannot personally solve every problem by partnering strategically instead of ignoring what your customers need ◼️The ‘Timeline-ify' technique for presenting your offer in a way that keeps customers emotionally in motion instead of overwhelmed ◼️The Charisma Hacking framework for communicating pain and authority in the style that matches who you naturally are, so your pitch feels authentic and converts higher McCall's presentation is a reminder that selling is not about hype or pressure. It is about understanding the real problems someone faces and guiding them from one solved step to the next until they reach their goal. When you use the Mouse a Cookie method, timeline your offer the right way, and communicate with the charisma style that fits you, your offer becomes the clear path to transformation instead of a collection of items. This is why her students win, and it is why this framework has become one of the most important updates to how I teach offers today! ◼️If you've got a product, offer, service… or idea… I'll show you how to sell it (the RIGHT way) Register for my next event → https://sellingonline.com/podcast ◼️Still don't have a funnel?

Coaching is all about the messy, uncertain, courageous work of transformation and building something meaningful.

How do I make sure I'm spending my energy on what actually moves the needle?” Here's what I know: the problem isn't that we don't work hard enough; the problem is that we say YES to too many things, which scatters our energy and hinders our progress. We mistake busyness for progress.

Indivisible's Ezra Levin and Hungarian organizer László Upor share creative, community-driven tactics — from joyful protests to bold campus actions — that pushed back against autocratic agendas. Their message: you have more power than you think.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description: If you care about resisting autocracy and building democracy, the U.S. has much to learn from Hungary. While Donald Trump rails against Europe, he and Hungary's strongman leader, Viktor Orbán, have praised each other for years. Anti-democratic, anti-immigrant, anti-woman, anti-queer — Orbán and Trump came to power on parallel tracks with similar values. In their first interview together, Ezra Levin, the co-founder of Indivisible (the group behind No Kings!) and László Upor, a leader in one of Hungary's most creative and visible resistance efforts, share their experiences of resisting authoritarianism. Upor is former Vice Rector and Acting Rector of the University of Theatre and Film Arts in Budapest — the one university that fought back when the Orbán administration began taking control of Hungary's universities. Levin is the co-founder and co-executive director of Indivisible, the grassroots movement behind such protests as the historic Hands Off and No Kings rallies. From the principles of their organizing to frog suits and caution tape, today's episode is a masterclass in creative resistance. Plus a commentary from Laura.“Our enemy in this isn't Trump, it's not the Republicans. It's not the broader regime. Our enemy is this sense of cynicism or fatalism or nihilism . . . I do think a core principle in our communication philosophy is convincing people, you have power, you just gotta use it. The best way to use it is in concert with a lot of other people in your community.” - Ezra Levin“You have to laugh at them, not be afraid of them . . . They don't understand mirth. They don't understand the derision. They think they are invincible. And when we don't give in, they don't understand what's going on.” - László UpperGuests:• Ezra Levin: Co-Founder & Co-Executive Director, Indivisible• László Upor: Former Vice Rector & Acting Rector, University of Theatre and Film Arts (SzFE), Budapest, HungaryListen to the full uncut conversation in this podcast feed.Watch the episode released on YouTube, PBS World Channel, and on over 300 public stations across the country (check your listings, or search here via zipcode).

To learn directly from Ethan Hsieh, John Vervaeke and Taylor Barratt, The Lectern is partnering with 5ToMidnight to offer a long form hybrid (online/in-person) practice program called TIAMAT-X. This program brings a full ecology of practices, endorsed by The Vervaeke Foundation to help you develop the capacity to… perceive what matters regulate in real time and act with clarity …through a cohesive method that weaves together mindful dialogue, embodiment, imaginal practice, and disciplined mindfulness. Learn more about the program here: https://www.5tomidnight.org/offerings/tiamat-x https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com/courses/tiamat-x In part three of the Lectern Dialogues series, John Vervaeke and Ethan Hsieh explore how virtue can be cultivated as a lived, embodied practice through an immersive ecology of education. The focus is on layered accounts of virtue — civic, purification, and illumination — and the role of ritual, altered states, and phenomenology in shaping meaning and sacredness. The conversation also addresses the risks of deification, authenticity loss, and cult dynamics, inviting a participatory, relational understanding of education oriented toward wisdom and agency. Ethan Hsieh Ethan Hsieh is a facilitator, educator, and philosophical practitioner whose work bridges performance, cognition, and transformative pedagogy. As the creator of TIAMAT—a three-tiered developmental framework—he integrates insights from performance practice, cognitive science, and dialogical philosophy to help individuals cultivate virtuosity as a way of life. Through immersive training containers and collaborative inquiry, he guides participants in mapping their inner experience, expanding their relational capacities, and enacting what he calls "postures of presence." Ethan's approach emphasizes participatory learning, metacognitive mapping, and the cultivation of agency through shared practice. His work with the collective 5toMidnight seeks to foster deliberately developmental communities grounded in relational ontology, where philosophical understanding becomes lived transformation. — 00:00 Welcome to the Lectern 02:00 Exploring virtue and sacredness 04:00 Layers of virtue and practice 06:00 Rituals and altered states of consciousness 10:30 Phenomenology and the sacred 18:00 Transformative insight and lived experience 30:30 Being-in-the-world and interconnectedness 38:00 Framework rejection and deification concerns 40:30 Ego, deification, and demonization 41:00 Virtue and the ego's filtration function 44:00 Addressing cult dynamics 46:00 Identifying healthy traditions and practices 51:30 Realness, resonance, and authenticity 55:00 Logos and the Good 01:06:00 The value of embodied experience — Follow John Vervaeke https://lectern.johnvervaeke.com https://x.com/DrJohnVervaeke https://www.youtube.com/@johnvervaeke https://www.patreon.com/johnvervaeke — Thank you for watching!

In this episode, internationally recognized teacher librarian and Future Ready Librarians spokesperson Shannon McClintock Miller returns to share insights on the newly updated Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0. With a focus on empowering learners and leading from the library, Shannon highlights the expanded role of librarians in today's dynamic educational landscape. She explains that today's school libraries are about far more than books; they're about empowering students through multiple literacies that prepare them for the future. Shannon describes how the updated Future Ready Librarians Framework 3.0 reflects the evolving role of librarians as instructional leaders. She emphasizes that supporting students means going beyond reading literacy to include digital, media, and AI literacies. “We're not only making sure we're supporting our learners when it comes to using [AI] responsibly and ethically,” Shannon explains, “but also using it creatively.” A key message in this episode is the importance of ongoing dialogue between librarians and students, families, teachers, and the broader school community. As Shannon shares, libraries should be inclusive spaces that support curiosity, innovation, and collaboration. The modern library is a cornerstone for future-ready learning, serving as an engagement hub for makerspaces, student-led projects, and meaningful conversations about responsible tech use. As Shannon reminds us, “Just think of the impact [librarians] have—not only in books and literacy but also in that love of learning, and curiosity, and innovation.” Visit AVID Open Access to learn more.

If you've tried every planner, app, and productivity hack and you're still exhausted, then this episode is for you. I'm walking you through the exact ADHD-aware framework I use with my coaching clients to help them stop spinning, start finishing things, and build real work-life balance without burning themselves out in the process. This isn't about doing more. It's about finally solving the right problem.What You'll Learn:Why traditional time management tools don't work for ADHD brains...and what doesMy 3-part coaching framework: self-awareness, systems, and sustainabilityHow executive functioning (not discipline or motivation) is the real issueWhat's actually realistic to change in 90 days, even in a chaotic lifeHow to build systems that work on hard days, not just ideal onesIf This Resonates…If you're tired of “shoulding” on yourself and ready for support that actually fits your brain, I'd love to help.You can book a free 1:1 consult where we'll look at your executive functioning, your processing style, and what kind of structure would actually support you right now. No pressure, no judgment. Let's go.
Most entrepreneurs skip reflection altogether. They're busy, tired, and ready for a fresh start. But if you don't pause to reflect, you repeat the same mistakes. You carry old habits into a new season. You build goals on top of unclear patterns. Reflection is where leadership starts. It's where clarity lives. It's simple, but not easy. In this episode, Danielle walks you step-by-step through the Year-End Reflection Framework built into the Kickstart system. It's the tool that helps you understand what worked, what didn't, and where you can step more fully into your CEO role next year. Your Year-End Reflection Framework: At Kickstart, reflection is built into everything we do. It's part of the Kickstart Framework, the same system Danielle uses to run her own business every single year. Review Your Revenue Start with your total revenue for the year. Compare it to last year, then review month-by-month. Ask yourself: Which months were your strongest? What contributed to that success? Which sales/marketing efforts created reliable results? During slower months, what changed? Were you consistent or did you pivot too soon? Real growth happens when you stick with what works long enough to see the results. Reflect on Profit & Net Income Profit tells the truth about your business's health—not just what came in, but what stayed. Consider: Were profit margins healthy (10–15% after payroll)? What supported profitability this year? If profits decreased, what shifted? And remember: Profit doesn't matter if it costs you your energy, well-being, or sustainability. Examine Your Expenses Look at your total expenses year-over-year and month-by-month. Ask: What purchases supported your goals? Which investments truly helped you grow? Where did spending align—or misalign—with your intentions? Was spending driven by confidence, or by fear and FOMO? Spending isn't bad. It's information. It reveals your priorities, patterns, and beliefs. Also reflect on: What purchase made you most proud? What helped you step more fully into your CEO role? 4. Evaluate Your Cash on Hand Cash isn't everything… but it is stability and choice. Review: Cash this year vs. last year Cash month-by-month Whether changes align with the season you were in (growth vs. optimization) How many months of expenses you have saved (aim for 1–3 months) If you're not there yet, start small—even $50 a week builds momentum. Cash gives you freedom to make thoughtful, empowered decisions. 5. Look at Debt & Owner's Draws This is where clarity really clicks. Debt payments and owner's draws don't show on your P&L, but they dramatically impact cash. Ask yourself: Did I pay myself consistently? Does my compensation match my effort? Did I take on or pay off debt intentionally? Your goal is balance: Pay yourself. Manage debt. Build savings. All at once, sustainably.

Written communication has expanded from formal emails to Slack messages, tweets, and video scripts. But are you being understood? In this "Quick Fix" episode, Paul and Matt break down why the way we were taught to write in school fails us at work and how the lack of intonation in text creates emotional misunderstandings. Paul introduces a four-layer framework to ensure your writing is effective and resonant, and issues a warning about using AI: don't let it destroy your authenticity.Key Takeaways:• The Sender-Receiver Gap: What feels positive to you as the sender can often be received negatively. Text lacks the vocal cues that usually signal intent, creating a gap where uncertainty and anxiety emerge.• The Framework for Excellence (The 4 Rs): To move from "functionally okay" to excellent, layer your communication to be: 1. Real: Truthful and clear. 2. Receivable: Short sentences that are easy to process. 3. Relevant: Focused on what the other person needs to know, not just what you want to say. 4. Resonant: Toned appropriately for the relationship and circumstance.• The AI Warning: While AI is useful early in the drafting process, relying on it too heavily can strip away your unique voice. This creates cognitive dissonance when people eventually meet you in person and the "real you" doesn't match your written persona.The "Quick Fix" Challenge: Before you hit send on your next important email or text, pause. Read it through the eyes of the receiver. Better yet, use a text-to-speech tool to listen to it. Hearing your words read back to you can reveal issues with tone and clarity that your eyes might miss.Resources & References:• Book Mentioned: Smart Brevity (Recommended for structure, but use with caution to remain authentic).• Tool: Speechify (Text-to-speech app).Up Next: Join us Thursday for a deep dive with Bill Kirst on maintaining our humanity in the age of AI, and tune in next Tuesday for a Quick Fix on Conflict Resolution.Humanity Working is a podcast focused on helping individuals, teams and organizations be ready for the future of work by maximizing their human potential.For more information, and access to our weekly newsletter, visit us at humanityworking.net.

In this episode of Business Not As Usual, Megan sits down with Kwadwo (pronounced QUĀY-jo), host of the Art of Online Business podcast, to break down one of the most misunderstood growth decisions in online business: when your business should start using Meta ads, and when it actually makes sense to hire an ads manager versus running ads yourself. This conversation is refreshingly honest and grounded. Rather than selling ads as a magic solution, Kwadwo explains why ads don't fix broken offers, why more eyeballs on the wrong funnel usually lead to frustration (not revenue), and how organic sales are the clearest signal that paid traffic will work. If you've ever felt tempted to "just throw money at ads" because you're tired or stuck, this episode will help you slow down and make a smarter decision. Kwadwo also walks through what he calls his Olympic Gold Medal Testing Framework: a practical way to lower Facebook and Instagram ad lead costs by treating ads like ongoing experiments, not all-or-nothing bets. He shares how to test conservatively, adapt to changes like Meta's Andromeda update, and protect your nervous system (and your cash) while still scaling sustainably. You'll also hear a nuanced discussion about money, pressure, and leadership, including why saving cash creates more freedom than most online business conversations admit, how knowing your profit per lead changes everything, and why no ethical ads manager should ever guarantee results. Whether you've never run ads, have had a bad experience in the past, or are right on the edge of scaling again, this episode will help you make decisions from clarity instead of urgency. Special Moments from the Episode "Jesus saves. Meta ads do not." — why ads amplify what's already working (or broken) The clearest sign your business is ready for Meta ads (and why income alone isn't enough) Kwadwo's profit-per-lead math for deciding DIY ads vs hiring an ads manager Why lead magnet ads + launch ads beat "brand-building ads" early on How to think about the Meta Andromeda update without panic or overreacting A candid conversation about saving money, runway, and freedom most online spaces avoid Kwadwo's Links: →48 Hour Ad-Fix Audit (get $20 off!): https://quayjo.thrivecart.com/audit/?coupon=MEGADS →Listen to The Art of Online Business: https://theartofonlinebusiness.com/aoob-podcast/ Connect with Meg →Discover how to craft a powerful business origin story that sets you apart, builds trust, and inspires clients to work with you: https://meganyelaney.com/business-story-blueprint →Come say hi on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/meganyelaney

In this episode of Your Yes Filled Life, I'm answering one of the questions I get asked most often: “How can I trust my intuition - and how do I know I'm not just making it up?” If you've ever had a flash of insight, a sudden feeling in your body, or an image in your mind… and then talked yourself out of it, you're not alone. Your intuition isn't broken. No one taught you the language of your gifts. In this conversation, I share: How I realized my “people watching stories” were actually intuitive tracking Why most intuitive impressions are subtle, nuanced, and easy to dismiss What claircognizance (knowing), clairsentience (feeling), and clairvoyance (seeing) look like in everyday life Why many experienced practitioners don't trust their intuition (and why that's actually about ethics, not insecurity) A simple somatic question you can use this week to sort out: “Is this mine, or am I picking it up from the field?” I also introduce the Intuitive Somatic Healer Certification—a 6-week, live advanced training for practitioners, healers, leaders, and creators who are ready to integrate intuition, somatics, and energy work with ethical precision. In this episode, you'll learn: Why your intuition feels confusing (and why that doesn't mean it's inaccurate) How intuitive data really comes in (hint: it's usually not a movie in your mind) The difference between imagination, anxiety, and intuition The 3 biggest reasons practitioners don't trust what they sense How to work with the question: “Is this mine or from the field?” Why your intuition is meant to sit inside your frameworks—not be erased by them How intuitive somatic work can make your sessions deeper, clearer, and less draining Explore the Intuitive Somatic Healer Certification:[Certification link] Keywords: Brenda Winkle, Your Yes Filled Life, trusting intuition, psychic medium, somatic coach, intuitive guide, trauma-informed breathwork, Reiki master teacher, clairs, clairvoyance, clairaudience, clairsentience, claircognizance, clairgustance, clairolfaction, aphantasia, intuitive gifts, ethical boundaries, energy tracking, intuitive symbols, somatics, body-based practices, nervous system regulation, client breakthroughs, Intuitive Somatic Healer Certification, intuitive communication, energetic field, spiritual gifts, experienced healers, coaches, guides, personal anecdotes, emotional energy, intuitive awareness, self-discovery, intuitive signals, community, empowerment, clarity, personal growth, transformation, inner voice, mindfulness, energy management, intuitive practices.

PREVIEW — Andrea Stricker — Nuclear Safeguards Framework for Saudi Arabia's Reactor Acquisition. Strickeroutlines essential precautions and international safeguard mechanisms necessary to prevent nuclear proliferation resulting from Saudi Arabia's acquisition of advanced nuclear power plant technology and fuel cycle capabilities. Strickerrecommends permanent International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) safeguard protocols and comprehensive additional verification arrangements covering all present and future Saudi nuclear facilities, ensuring Riyadh cannot unilaterally eject IAEA inspectors or rescind international safeguard commitments if the Kingdom subsequently pursues uranium enrichment or nuclear fuel reprocessing activities for weapons development. Stricker emphasizes that binding safeguard protocols are essential to preventing Saudi acquisition of weapons-grade nuclear material and maintaining nonproliferation regime integrity in the Middle East.
AI's huge energy needs are getting enormous media attention. AI's potential to make energy more secure, clean and affordable is getting less attention. What would it take for AI's impact on the energy system to be net-positive? What would that mean exactly? What examples help show the potential for AI to make positive contributions to the energy system? Join host David Sandalow as he discusses these topics and a new report called From Paradox to Progress: A Net-Positive AI Energy Framework with one of the report's lead authors -- Ginelle Greene-Dewasmes, AI and Energy Lead at the World Economic Forum. https://www.weforum.org/publications/from-paradox-to-progress-a-net-positive-ai-energy-framework/ https://icef.go.jp/wp-content/themes/icef_new/pdf/roadmap/icef2025_roadmap.pdf https://icef.go.jp/wp-content/themes/icef_new/pdf/roadmap/icef2024_roadmap_AI-Climate-Second-Edition.pdf This material is distributed by TRG Advisory Services, LLC on behalf of the Embassy of the United Arab Emirates in the U.S..

#224. In this Ask P episode, I'm answering four of your questions to close out the year: how to audit yourself honestly without self-destruction, what I'd tell my 21-year-old self about timelines and dating, how to stay grounded while building your life in your twenties, and the framework Joe and I use for our annual partnership check-in. We're talking about growth with grace, trusting your own timeline, protecting what matters, and making sure you're building a life—not just performing one. Consider this your end-of-year toolkit for staying intentional, aligned, and honest with yourself as you head into 2026.
