Podcasts about Gaps

It is widely accepted that over time, humanity will need to expand its presence into the solar system. What are the challenges? Well, space and our nearby worlds have proved to be a much greater challenge than we had long thought. While the rigors of zero-g have been well researched on the International Space Station, the challenges of living in lower gravity, such as that found on the moon and Mars, has not yet been explored. And human reproduction in space, along with genetic challenges, is a complete unknown. Rice Univeristy professor and researcher Scott Solomon joins us to explore these topics in depth, and to posit possible solutions.

In this wide-ranging conversation, Sarah Jeanneault shares her unconventional journey from struggling with math in school to becoming a respected leader in fintech, trading education, and enterprise knowledge management. She and Dwayne Kerrigan explore the deep gaps in financial literacy, why traditional education often fails to prepare people for real-world decision-making, and how learning truly begins after formal schooling ends.Sarah explains how she applied adult learning theory to teach herself trading, why psychology matters more than numbers in the markets, and how curiosity, pattern recognition, and humility shaped her success. The discussion expands into the future of education, AI's role in learning, entrepreneurship, identity shifts after business exits, and the emotional reality of leadership transitions. This episode is a thoughtful examination of growth, risk, and why continuous learning is the most valuable skill anyone can develop.Episode Highlights:00:00 – Sarah opens by naming the gap in real-world financial literacy.02:00 – Dwayne introduces Sarah and frames the episode around learning and reinvention.05:00 – Sarah shares struggling with math and early assumptions about intelligence.09:00 – Losing her best friend and questioning the direction of her life.14:00 – Discovering trading and applying adult learning theory to self-education.18:00 – Why financial literacy is rarely taught despite its life-long impact.23:00 – Breaking down trading basics and removing unnecessary complexity.28:00 – Psychology, emotion, and why ego derails good financial decisions.33:00 – Risk, uncertainty, and learning to sit with discomfort.38:00 – Podcasts, curiosity, and self-directed learning as modern education.44:00 – Continuous learning as the foundation of entrepreneurship and leadership.49:00 – Gamifying learning to build confidence and consistency over time.54:00 – Building community through transparency and shared learning.59:00 – Scaling education-driven businesses and teaching at scale.64:00 – Identity shifts after acquisitions and redefining success.69:00 – Leadership, disagreement, and creating psychologically safe teams.74:00 – AI, critical thinking, and the future of learning.79:00 – Personal growth, reinvention, and staying curious long-term.84:00 – Reflections on learning, humility, and what truly creates confidence.88:00 – Closing thoughts, gratitude, and setting up Part 2.Key Takeaways:Financial literacy is rarely taught, yet deeply shapes life decisions.Learning accelerates when curiosity replaces fear of being “bad at math.”Real education often begins after formal schooling ends.Trading and business are driven as much by psychology as by data.Growth comes from pattern recognition, experimentation, and reflection.Entrepreneurship requires comfort with uncertainty and identity shifts.AI will amplify learning — but only if critical thinking is prioritized.Strong leaders create environments where disagreement is encouraged.Sustainable success comes from continuous learning and reinvention.Resources...

Most leaders don't struggle because they're bad at leadership. They struggle because leadership is the only critical job on Earth that people are expected to just figure out (well, that and parenting!).No training. No playbook. No feedback loop.If you've ever thought, "I don't know what I don't know", that's not self-doubt. That's the system working exactly as designed.Most leaders learn by copying what they were exposed to. If your previous bosses were average, chaotic, or absent, that starts to feel normal. And here's the real kicker: most companies are surprisingly resilient to poor leadership. So "doing fine" hides the biggest blind spots. Your team delivers. There's no major conflict.But that doesn't mean you're leading well…it just means the team has adapted to a weak system.You can't replicate what you've never seen. And if you've never worked for an exceptional leader, you're building your approach from incomplete models.In this episode, Em and I break down the invisible gaps many leaders miss...the ones that quietly stall careers, drain confidence, and keep teams performing well below their potential. I'll show you where to look first, and why closing these gaps is the difference between staying stuck and actually breaking through!Sources mentioned:Leadership Blindspots link:Your Leadership Blindspot IdentifierLeadership Beyond the Theory link:Leadership Beyond the TheoryEpisode #380 Don't Leave Your Leadership Identity to Chance in 2026--------------

The Michael McKee case presents a masterclass in forensic investigation. A suspect who allegedly created an 18-hour digital blackout. Stolen license plates from two states. A vehicle tracked through neighborhood surveillance footage. A firearm allegedly matched through a national database. And an arrest across state lines in just eleven days.Former FBI Special Agent Jennifer Coffindaffer walks us through how investigators pieced together a case spanning Columbus, Chicago, and Rockford without a single eyewitness. She explains NIBIN ballistics methodology, how multi-jurisdictional investigations function in practice, and why the indictment's firearm suppressor allegation may be the most damning evidence of premeditation prosecutors have.This is how law enforcement builds a double murder case from digital breadcrumbs and forensic science.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TrueCrimeToday #FBI #NIBINBallistics #ColumbusOhio #DoubleHomicide #JenniferCoffindaffer #TrueCrimeJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Today, on Karl and Crew, we continued our weekly theme of “Who Am I” with discussions about having our identity rooted in Christ. When our identity aligns with Christ, it helps us answer the question “Am I enough?” And because of Jesus’s sacrifice, we know the answer is yes. Then we had Philip Miller join us to discuss further how to find our identity in Christ rather than in the world. Philip is the Senior Pastor of Moody Church in Chicago. He can also be heard on the weekly Moody Church Hour radio broadcast on over 700 stations nationwide. You can also listen to Pastor Philip on the daily program, Living Hope, at 11 am CT, across the Moody Network. Then, we had Dr. Andy Bannister join us to discuss how to share the truth with someone in a loving and gentle way when there are opposing ideas. Dr. Bannister is the Director of Solas, and he speaks and teaches regularly throughout the UK, Europe, Canada, the USA, and the wider world. He addresses audiences of both Christians and those of all faiths, or none, on issues relating to faith, culture, politics, and society. He also hosts 2 podcasts called PEP Talk and Pod of the Gaps. He also wrote several books, including “Have you Ever Wondred? Finding the Everyday Clue to Meaning, Purpose, and Spirituality”.

Send us a textWhat happens when we know exercise improves outcomes for cancer survivors…but most patients still can't access it? In this episode, I sit down with the guest speakers behind the upcoming APTA CSM session “Mind the Gaps: Advancing Equitable Implementation of Evidence-Based Exercise Programs for Survivors of Cancer” to unpack the real-world barriers between evidence and practice in exercise oncology.We dig into what it actually takes to implement evidence-based programs like Strength After Breast Cancer in clinical settings—and why equity has to be designed into the process from the start. From pre-implementation planning and adapting programs on the fly, to building community partnerships that expand access for under-resourced and minority survivors, this conversation moves beyond theory into actionable strategies clinicians can use now.If you care about closing research-to-practice gaps, advancing health equity, and delivering better rehab outcomes for cancer survivors, this one's for you.

Ramesh Songukrishnasamy: Communication Gaps that Stall ProgressCTO Ramesh Songukrishnasamy and I explore how communication gaps, not technical gaps, slow down projects, derail decisions, and limit career growth for technical professionals. As a transformational leader who has driven major technology transformations, built high-performing teams, and delivered millions in new product revenue, he shares what communication behaviors signal readiness for greater responsibility and what technical professionals often misunderstand about nontechnical audiences. We also dig into what organizations can do to help their technical staff communicate more clearly and the first step individuals can take to improve their speaking skills.To learn more about Ramesh, visit https://www.linkedin.com/in/rameshrs/.__TEACH THE GEEK (http://teachthegeek.com) Prefer video?

Modern nutrition advice often makes gut health feel complicated and discouraging. In this conversation, Heather shares a simple, ancestral approach to digestion that brings the focus back to whole foods, sustainable kitchen rhythms, and listening to the body's cues. We talk through why the environment we cook in matters, how modern food processing has disrupted digestion, and why adding nourishing, traditionally prepared foods can be more effective than cutting everything out. This episode offers a realistic perspective on healing the gut in a way that supports the whole family and fits your real life! In this episode, we cover: - Heather's approach to healing chronic digestive issues through ancestral eating and kitchen-centered rhythms - Why the kitchen environment (lighting, clutter, etc.) plays a role in digestion more than we realize - Shifting our mindset from cutting foods out to intentionally adding nourishing, traditional foods back in - A simple ancestral filter for choosing foods without getting overwhelmed by competing nutrition noise - Gentle first steps for gut healing using soups, cooked foods, and simple meals - The most common gut symptoms women experience and how digestion affects hormones and nutrients - Why bloating happens, including microbiome imbalance and poor food breakdown - Thoughts on gluten pauses, sourdough, and traditionally prepared grains - When restrictive protocols like GAPS or carnivore  may be useful and when they're not necessary - Why animal-based protein is often easier to digest than plant-based sources, especially during gut healing - Observing food rhythms that support digestion while honoring different seasons of life– postpartum, pregnancy, breastfeeding - The difference between meat stock and bone broth and when each is most supportive View full show notes on the blog + watch this episode on YouTube.

Families in the periphery spend more on transportation and communications, own more cars and televisions, and have fewer children.

In this insightful episode of "It's the Bottom Line That Matters," host Jennifer Glass leads a candid roundtable with Patricia Reszetylo and Daniel McCraine to explore the nuanced world of mini-acquisitions—small, strategic purchases or takeovers that can have a big impact on business growth. Unlike headline-grabbing corporate mergers, mini-acquisitions involve more modest deals like acquiring a niche e-commerce site, licensing a software platform, or taking over an online community such as a Facebook or LinkedIn group. The conversation is filled with practical examples and personal stories, illustrating the decisions, risks, and growth potential that come with making these smaller moves.Listeners will find plenty of actionable advice woven throughout the discussion. Daniel McCraine shares how he identified gaps in his own business and thoughtfully filled them through targeted acquisitions, while Patricia Reszetylo discusses her experiences with both successful and missed opportunities—including her lessons learned from considering restaurant and property investments. Jennifer Glass introduces the buy-partner-build framework, offering a straightforward decision-making model for finding or creating strategic opportunities. The episode emphasizes the importance of fit: ensuring the new acquisition complements existing operations and skills, rather than becoming an ill-fitting jigsaw puzzle piece. Whether you're considering taking over digital assets, physical properties, or adding a new service to your lineup, this episode provides a wealth of insights and expert tips to help you approach mini-acquisitions with confidence and clarity.Keywords: mini acquisitions, business growth, acquiring another entity, acquisition process, Facebook group acquisition, LinkedIn group acquisition, online group takeover, terms of service, e-commerce store acquisition, purchasing businesses, licensing deal, financing platform, Wojie, core services, client services, startup costs, promotion strategies, restaurant acquisition, operational business purchase, business gaps, building versus buying, partnership, mastermind purchase, business line synergy, buy partner build model, coaching business, on-demand coaching platform, investment guidelines, location strategy, micro resort, integrating acquisitions

I was recently trying to do something that should have been simple: sharing my work calendar with my wife so she knows when I'm actually free for family time. I found myself digging through "secret" settings pages, checking her phone, then mine, and getting increasingly frustrated.It made me realize how often we settle for "fighting" our tools instead of letting them support us.You've probably heard me say that gear doesn't matter. If you're a new podcaster trying to drop $2,000 before you've hit "record," I stand by that. But when it comes to the daily operations of your business, the right gear—both hardware and software—matters immensely.Every minute you spend wrestling with a slow laptop, a glitchy hosting provider, or a manual process is a minute taken away from your family or your core mission.In this episode, I'm breaking down the "Gear" pillar of my GAPS framework.

"Send me a text"Most supplement founders believe they're covered because their manufacturer has insurance. They're wrong. And that misconception could cost them everything.In this episode, I sit down with Michael Sendrovich, an insurance broker who specializes exclusively in commercial coverage for supplement companies. We unpack the critical differences between premises liability and products liability, why classification matters more than you think, and how ingredients from overseas can create coverage gaps you never knew existed.Michael breaks down what actually triggers insurance claims in the supplement space, from overdosing on gummies to contamination issues. We discuss why buying the cheapest policy online often means buying no real coverage at all, and what questions you should ask any broker before signing on the dotted line.Whether you're pre-launch or doing seven figures, this episode reveals the insurance fundamentals that protect your business when something goes wrong. Because in supplements, it's not about if something happens, it's about when.Contact Michael Sendrovich:Website: https://zeygerinsurance.com/business-insurance-quote/Email: michael@zeygerinsurance.comPhone: 818-698-8240If you're interested in working with me and my team to improve your supplement business.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared shares a simple quarterly framework to help you actually follow through on health goals: Start, Stop, Keep. Adapted from a powerful business coaching tool, it becomes a practical way to evaluate what's working, what's draining you, and what single change could move you forward right now. Jared ties it to the “1% better” mindset from Atomic Habits—small daily choices that compound into massive long-term results—and gives real-world examples like setting a consistent bedtime, intermittent fasting, and quitting grazing. You'll also hear actionable “starts” (like walking after meals and tracking food/supplement effects) and “stops” (like late-day caffeine and doom scrolling). No hype—just a clean system you can repeat every quarter, month, or whatever works for you.Products:LiverVitatlityEndoCleanseVital 5:Ultimate Vitality MultiMagnesium BisglycinateOmega-3 + AntioxidantsPrecision Probiotic Vital SporesAssimil-8 Digestive EnzymesBack on TractAdditional Information:Atomic Habits by James Clear - bookThe Compound Effect by Darren Hardy - book#579: Fueling Your Day Right: How to Eat for Energy, Focus, and Weight Loss with Nate Palmer#604: Emotional Vitality: How to Break Out of Overwhelm and the Freeze Response#242: The Vital Five How To: Your User's Guide to Filling the Gaps in Your DietVisit the podcast website here: VitalityRadio.comYou can follow @vitalitynutritionbountiful and @vitalityradio on Instagram, or Vitality Radio and Vitality Nutrition on Facebook.

Alcohol, Problem Drinking and Recovery Pathways - Navigating a Long Gap Between Counselling Training Levels In Episode 363 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly take us through this week's three topics: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', we explore choosing the right online tech for counselling, highlighting how equipment and setup affect professionalism and therapeutic presence. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Caroline Evers-Endacott about working with alcohol, problem drinking, and recovery pathways – emphasising how therapists can work ethically and effectively with clients navigating addiction. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken offer guidance on how to manage long breaks between counselling training levels, including tips for maintaining motivation, skills, and learning during study gaps. Choosing the Right Online Tech [starts at 03:46 mins] This section discusses the importance of treating your online counselling setup with the same care as your in-person therapy room by choosing the right online tech. Clients form first impressions based on what they see and hear - tech choices impact the therapeutic relationship. A stable internet connection and good audio are essential foundations for online work. Simple improvements like wired internet, quality microphones, and appropriate camera framing can significantly improve the client experience. Consistency and professionalism in your online presence - including background, lighting, and audio - promote client trust and comfort. Being prepared for tech failures and using headphones for confidentiality are practical ways to uphold ethical standards. Alcohol, Problem Drinking and Recovery Pathways [starts at 32:38 mins] In this week's ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with Caroline Evers-Endacott, an integrative therapist and addiction specialist, about supporting clients with alcohol use issues. Abstinence is not the only recovery outcome - therapy should support client-led goals and reduce harm. Initial assessments must include alcohol use patterns, severity, and risks - possibly involving GPs or specialists where needed. Clients may not disclose drinking concerns early - therapists should be prepared when such disclosures emerge later in the work. Counsellors can remain part of the recovery journey, even when referrals are made to specialist services. The stigma of addiction and cultural norms around alcohol can affect how clients perceive their drinking and seek help. Navigating a Long Gap Between Counselling Training Levels [starts at 58:30 mins] This segment addresses the reality of study breaks and how students can make the most of the time between qualification stages. Gaps between training levels are common and sometimes unavoidable - planning how to use the time constructively is key. Keeping up with theory through reading, podcasts, and online learning helps maintain momentum. Practising counselling skills in peer groups or volunteering roles keeps techniques sharp and relevant. Skills like active listening and empathy are valuable in everyday life - use them to stay engaged with your development. Preparing for interviews on advanced courses by showing ongoing engagement and learning can strengthen your application.

Peter and Jesse discuss findings from Peter's survey of 750 UX pracitioners on organizational health. Designers feel good about their work but struggle with quality standards, staffing, and career growth. Senior practitioners are the unhealthiest group. Reporting structure predicts team health. Consulting teams outperform in-house teams, where visionary design capabilities have atrophied and empowerment remains elusive.

In this episode, Elliot Berman and John Byrne take a wide-ranging look at major developments shaping the AML and financial crime landscape worldwide. The conversation begins in Europe, with updates on the transition to the EU's new Anti-Money Laundering Authority (AMLA), and early work to standardize suspicious activity reporting across EU member states. From there, the discussion turns to international cooperation, including public-private partnerships in Canada's fight against human trafficking, and regulatory coordination on cyber threats between the UK and EU. Back in the U.S., Elliot and John examine recent staff reductions at FinCEN, reflect on leadership changes at IRS‑CI, and discuss the implications of presidential pardons involving financial crime. The episode also highlights scam risks targeting retirees, ongoing debates around digital asset regulation and the proposed Clarity Act, and what financial institutions should be watching next.

In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read continues his series on common financial mistakes dentists make, with a deep dive into tax planning gaps that often lead to paying unnecessary taxes.Wes explains how many dentists rely on reactive tax filing instead of proactive tax planning, causing them to miss powerful deductions and make poor timing decisions. He breaks down practical, real-world strategies such as the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax election; overlooked deductions like kids on payroll, home office, vehicles, meals, and travel; and why depreciation must always align with cash flow.The episode also highlights the risks of overly aggressive tax strategies, why meeting with your CPA only once a year isn't enough, and how a CFO-style, proactive approach can significantly accelerate a dentist's path to financial independence.Key Topics CoveredCommon tax planning mistakes dentists makeHow the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax election worksWhy the timing of tax payments mattersLow-hanging tax deductions many dentists missKids vs. spouse on payroll (and when it makes sense)Home office, car, meals, and travel deductionsRisks of aggressive tax strategies like misused R&D creditsProper vs. improper use of depreciation (Section 179)The difference between reactive CPAs and proactive, CFO-style planningKey TakeawaysPTE tax election is a major opportunity: Dentists in high-tax states can significantly reduce federal taxes if payments are made correctly and on time.Cash timing determines deductions: Tax deductions only apply in the year money actually leaves your account.Small deductions compound: When combined, kids on payroll, home office, vehicle use, meals, and travel can create meaningful tax savings.Spouse on payroll requires retirement planning: Without a 401(k) or defined benefit plan, it can increase taxes instead of reducing them.Depreciation isn't free money: Misusing Section 179 can create future cash flow problems.Avoid crossing the line: Aggressive or poorly justified strategies increase audit risk.Tax planning follows cash flow planning: Taxes are a subset of cash flow—not the other way around.Proactive advice matters: Dentists benefit most from advisors who specialize in dentistry and meet multiple times per year.CFO-style planning accelerates wealth:...

If you're defending Michael McKee, you don't need to prove he didn't do it. You need to create reasonable doubt. And this case has gaps.How did McKee allegedly enter the Tepe home with no forced entry? Prosecutors haven't said. The aggravated burglary charge suggests they have a theory, but it hasn't been disclosed publicly. That's an opening for the defense.There's no motive on the record. McKee and Monique divorced years ago. Police confirmed there were no prior reports from the Tepe address about McKee — no restraining orders, no 911 calls, no documented conflict. The state hasn't explained why a 39-year-old surgeon with no criminal record would allegedly do this now.Defense attorney Bob Motta breaks down the defense's options. McKee is intelligent, educated, trained in precision. If he allegedly planned a premeditated murder complete with a suppressor, why would he keep the murder weapon in his own apartment? The prosecution's theory and McKee's professional profile don't easily fit together.McKee "disappeared" in the months before the murders. Process servers couldn't find him. A colleague said he just vanished. Prosecutors will likely call that consciousness of guilt. The defense might call it a man between jobs with no fixed address.Both victims were shot multiple times. Does that help the defense argue this looks more like rage than calculation — even with the suppressor allegation? Motta analyzes the strategies available and gives his prediction: conviction, acquittal, or hung jury.#MichaelMcKee #MoniqueTepe #SpencerTepe #TepeMurders #TrueCrimeToday #BobMotta #DefenseStrategy #NoForcedEntry #ReasonableDoubt #CriminalDefenseJoin Our SubStack For AD-FREE ADVANCE EPISODES & EXTRAS!: https://hiddenkillers.substack.com/Want to comment and watch this podcast as a video?

Unbilled utilities don't scream.They whisper and slowly drain your NOI while no one's looking.In today's Multifamily Operations Tip of the Day, Mike Brewer unpacks a silent but costly threat in property management: unbilled utilities.It's one of the easiest ways to bleed margin — and most teams won't notice until it's too late. Faulty meter reads. Sloppy allocation. Gaps in billing during unit turns. It all adds up. And here's the kicker: AI is your best defense.AI can run a real-time audit of your utility billing processes, flagging mismatches between usage and charges the moment they happen. That's not just efficient. That's smart income protection.But it gets better. We're entering an era where AI doesn't just observe, but acts. Real-time prevention. Autonomous corrections. And in 2026 and beyond, a new acronym will lead the charge: IF. Fair and accurate utility billing isn't just about recouping costs. It builds trust, promotes conservation, and protects your NOI. Precision is no longer optional — it's table stakes.If you're ready to stop invisible losses and start using AI to protect your portfolio's bottom line, like this video, subscribe, and share your utility billing best practices in the comments.Support comes from: https://www.365connect.com/?utm_campaign=mmnHosted by: https://www.multifamilymedianetwork.comPlus: why in-person events like RETCON https://retconference.com/ matter more now than ever.

This conversation explores the complex and deeply human relationship between gut health and mental wellbeing. Srinivas Kamath shares insights from his research into the gut–brain axis, unpacking how hormones, stress, medication and diet intersect at the microbiome level. We discuss the limitations of current mental health treatments, the growing promise of prebiotics, and why personalised medicine may be the future of emotional and cognitive care. The episode also looks ahead to emerging research in longevity, GLP-1 therapies and the role of the gut in neurodegenerative disease, offering a grounded yet hopeful view of where this science is heading. Key Takeaways The gut and brain operate in constant two-way communication, influencing mood, cognition and emotional regulation. Chronic stress and elevated cortisol can compromise the gut lining, contributing to inflammation and so-called leaky gut. Female hormones shape the microbiome across the lifespan, and gut health in turn affects hormonal balance. Understanding an individual’s microbiome opens the door to truly personalised approaches to mental and emotional health. Many psychiatric medications alter the gut microbiome, which may explain common side effects and variable outcomes. Prebiotics play a foundational role in supporting a resilient and diverse microbiome.For most people, prebiotics are more effective and sustainable than probiotic supplementation alone. GLP-1 is central to appetite regulation, gut signalling and broader metabolic and mental health pathways. The vagus nerve acts as a key communication highway between the gut and the brain.Gut microbiome research is rapidly evolving, with more questions than definitive answers at this stage.

In this episode of the Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read, CPA and financial advisor at Practice CFO continues his series on common financial mistakes dentists make, this time focusing on tax planning gaps. Wes explains why many dental practice owners unknowingly overpay taxes and how poor tax planning often results from weak cash flow management, rather than bad intentions.This episode breaks down complex tax concepts into practical insights, helping dentists understand how smarter planning throughout the year, not just at tax time, can lead to tens of thousands of dollars in savings annually and faster financial independence.Key Notes:1. Tax Planning Is Not a Once-a-Year ActivityMany dentists believe tax planning is handled solely by their CPA at year-end.Real tax planning happens throughout the year, tied directly to business decisions.Waiting until December often means it's already too late to reduce taxes effectively.2. Tax Planning Is a Subset of Cash Flow PlanningTaxes cannot be optimized in isolation.Every dollar flowing through the practice revenue, expenses, payroll, debt, and savings affects tax outcomes.Smart tax strategies must consider current and future cash flow, not just immediate deductions.3. Common Tax Planning Gaps Dentists MakeMissing legitimate deductions (leaving money on the table).Buying equipment just for a tax write-off without considering long-term loan payments.Poor timing of depreciation and capital purchases.Not coordinating payroll, distributions, and retirement planning.4. Understanding S Corporations vs. Sole ProprietorshipsBeing an S Corp does not automatically mean you're saving taxes.S Corps come with higher administrative costs, so the tax benefits must outweigh them.In general:Under ~$150k income → Sole proprietor may make more sense.$180k–$200k+ profit → S Corp usually becomes beneficial.5. Reasonable Compensation: The Biggest Tax LeverAs an S Corp owner, you pay yourself in two ways:W-2 wages (subject to payroll/FICA taxes)Distributions (not subject to FICA)Paying too little W-2 can trigger IRS penalties.Paying too much W-2 can unnecessarily increase payroll taxes.Finding the right balance is critical to staying compliant and...

That line on your resume that makes your stomach drop in interviews isn't the problem. The way you're talking about it is. In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly why career gaps and layoffs quietly derail otherwise strong candidates and how most people accidentally confirm an interviewer's worst fears without realizing it.I walk you through what hiring managers are actually thinking when they see a gap on your resume and the two mistakes that cost candidates job offers every single day. I also share the simple three-part formula I use with clients to turn layoffs and career gaps into one of the most confident moments of the interview. No over-explaining. No defensiveness. No awkward justifications. Just a clear, calm story that reassures the interviewer and shifts the conversation back to your value.By the end of this episode, you'll know how to talk about layoffs without spiraling or apologizing for your existence, and you'll finally feel in control of a question that used to throw you off your game. If you've been dreading this part of the interview or replaying your answer in your head after every call, this one might change everything. Hit play and I'll walk you through exactly what to say and why it works.1:16 – Why Career Gaps Aren't Automatically Dealbreakers for Hiring Managers2:52 – The Three Hidden Fears Recruiters Have About Resume Gaps (and How to Disarm Them)6:06 – The Most Common Mistakes People Make When Discussing Layoffs in Interviews8:17 – The Simple 3-Step Formula That Turns Your Career Gap Into an Interview Strength13:09 – How to Pivot from Explaining Your Gap to Proving You're Perfect for the Role16:17 – Why Owning Your Story (Not Over-Explaining) Makes You Instantly More Attractive to Employers

What does it actually take to spot the leadership gaps that matter, especially when life and work keep speeding up? In this episode of Becoming Unshakable, I sit down with Erik Dodier, an entrepreneur who describes his career as a "30-year overnight success." Erik takes us from his early love of business and entrepreneurship to building a company through decades of pivots, pressure, growth, and change. What stood out to me right away was his willingness to discuss the pause that comes after the grind, that moment when you stop running and finally have enough space to reflect on who you became while you were building. Erik's definition of becoming unshakable is refreshingly grounded. It is the quiet confidence that comes from surviving hundreds of hard moments and realizing you are still standing. He shares a simple line that stuck with me, "Of all my bad days, I'm undefeated." And from there, we discuss pattern recognition as wisdom, how experience helps you respond with greater calm, and how looking back can help you face what is next with a little more air in your lungs. We also get into the real weight of leadership as teams grow. Erik opens up about a pivotal season in 2014, when his company had to narrow its focus and make a painful shift that changed people's careers. He describes doing it as humanely as possible, giving people time to retrain, find their path, or lean into the new direction. That conversation led us into something many leaders wrestle with: how to show care and compassion for others while you are privately carrying your own stress, doubt, and exhaustion. One of my favorite parts of this conversation is Erik's honesty about what kept him steady. He talks about books, biographies, and even motivational YouTube videos as tools to reset his mindset on hard days. He also shares how his leadership evolved from feeling he had to have every answer to recognizing that his real job was building the right team, removing obstacles, and focusing everyone on the problems that truly moved the business forward. We close with a powerful reminder for anyone who feels stuck right now. Erik's advice is to take the smallest step back in the right direction, because the shift you need might be closer than you think. As we step into 2026, he shares how he is using more time, greater intention, and AI tools as a sounding board to keep growing, personally and professionally. As you listen, I would love you to reflect on what is one leadership belief you have outgrown, and what is the smallest step you can take this week to steady yourself again? Share your thoughts with me.  I really want to hear what this brings up for you.
