The sixth and final episode in the 5 Gears series, today's episode focuses on the Strategic Growth Gear. This episode looks a little different from others in the series because strategic growth is not just about building other systems or how to optimize other systems — it's about really understanding when and how to expand your impact.You'll learn the four distinct paths of growth:Internal – Strengthening what you already have. This can look like creating leadership pipelines or enhancing your current programs. External – Your traditional market expansion. It includes opening up new locations, expanding to new neighborhoods, and creating pop-up programs.Vertical – Increasing your depth of impact. This is about adding advanced programs and extending your services.Horizontal – Broadening your impact through new revenue streams. It could be creating new training programs, developing new educational materials, or taking things that you've done and actually writing curriculum books.

Welcome! and Thank you for listening.  Sometimes you can do more than you think you can.  You find another gear to go on.  Sometimes, you stop and say you did the best that you could.  How do you feel about those decisions the next day?  Regrets? I've had a few.  It is very easy to put our decisions in cruise control and just do what is easy.  Avoid the jolts or the risks.  Just cruise.  However, we don't just cruise, we decline and before you know it, health has left the body.  We are now cruising downhill collecting diagnosis and medications.  We did the best we could.... maybe.   Let me help you find another gear and enjoy acceleration and vitality.  The story will be much better. https://www.nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NEJMoa2415879 Email me with questions at jami@doctordulaney.com Website: https://doctordulaney.com/membership/join-us/ Ebook: https://doctordulaney.com/powerful-plates-ebook/ Cookbook: https://a.co/d/6zVUluq Water distillers: https://mypurewater.com/?sld=jdulaney.  discount code: cleanwaterforsophie

From the dusty trails of endurance horse racing to the treacherous mountain roads of logging country, Rachel Shackleford's life story reads like an adventure novel. Known online as "SS Trekking Babe," Rachel takes us through her remarkable journey of reinvention that led her from being a homeschooled horse trainer to becoming one of the few female lowboy drivers in the trucking industry.Growing up in Auburn, California, Rachel's unconventional education gave her practical skills that would later become invaluable. When health challenges including Hashimoto's disease forced her to abandon horse training, she made a bold pivot into professional trucking. Starting in the logging industry - arguably one of the most demanding sectors of trucking - Rachel quickly earned respect by mastering skills many drivers take years to develop.Throughout our conversation, Rachel shares hair-raising stories from the road: navigating 80,000-pound loads down narrow mountain paths, encountering suspicious situations at isolated landfills, and developing safety protocols as a woman traveling alone. Her experiences highlight not just the technical challenges of trucking but also the unique perspective she brings to a male-dominated field.What stands out most is Rachel's philosophy toward fear and discomfort. "When I fear something, on the other side of that is freedom, so I'm going to just push straight through it," she explains. This mindset has served her through career transitions, technical challenges on the road, and in competition as an endurance horse racer riding distances of 25-100 miles.Rachel's story is a powerful reminder that our greatest growth often comes from embracing challenges rather than avoiding them. Her willingness to step outside her comfort zone and pursue unexpected paths offers inspiration for anyone feeling stuck or seeking change in their own life.Tell us what you think!Support the showFollow Wild Chaos on Social Media: Apple iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-wild-chaos-podcast/id1732761860Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/5KFGZ6uABb1sQlfkE2TIoc?si=8ff748aa4fc64331 ⁠⁠⁠Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/wildchaospodcastYoutube: https://youtube.com/@wildchaospodTikTok: ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tiktok.com/@wildchaosshowX (Twitter): ⁠⁠⁠https://twitter.com/thewildchaosMeta (Facebook): ⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/wildchaospodcastLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/wildchaos

Pull up a slab of cheese nan and dig in to a full episode of (what else?) Monster Hunter Wilds, as the team Gears-of-War-slow-walks you through our first few days with the game.   Time — Topic Discussed 01:50 — Nicknames 04:33 — Monster Hunter Wilds 58:05 — News: Monster Hunter Wilds breaks records, Clovers, and Death Stranding 2

We're on the verge of the second season of HBO's The Last of Us, and yet new questions percolate about whether we'll ever see another game in Naughty Dog's vaunted series. In a recent interview, Neil Druckmann told fans "don't bet on there being more," which is both alluringly ominous and obviously vague. That's good news for us, though, since it gives us plenty to discuss. Do we need more? Do we want more? Should we get more? Plus: Rumors are ramping up about one-time Xbox titan Gears of War migrating to PlayStation 5 later this year, while details related to Firesprite's cancelled Twisted Metal project have leaked. Also: PlayStation 2 turns 25 years old in Japan, Until Dawn Remake studio Ballistic Moon goes belly-up, a key Bungie designer joins Guerrilla, Monster Hunter Wilds smashes Capcom sales records, and more. Finally: Listener inquiries! Is it possible that Grand Theft Auto VI fails to meet either critical or commercial expectations, or perhaps both? What are our reflections on PS5 Pro now that we've had our own for some months? Should Canadians stop buying games from American publishers and developers in retaliation of US tariffs? Will Colin ever forgive his brother for continuously referring to himself as "The Dagster"?

After years of rumors, the Gears Of War Collection has become a bit of a running gag in the Xbox community. If it happens, great. If it doesn't, we never fully believed in it anyway. This week, we have Jez Corden to thank because it made for one of our fastest evolving stories mid-show! Starting off as a discussion of whether or not the Gears Of War Collection would ever happen, we quickly learned it is happening and... it won't have multiplayer. Is this a major dealbreaker for Xbox fans? Naturally, the Dukes debate, but the real question after assessing the early Forza Horizon 5 sales data is if it will matter to those playing on other platforms. Forza Horizon 5 is already beating out hot products with full marketing campaigns that are set to hit the market. Most stunning of all is that despite amassing 40+ million players and being available on multiple platforms for years, Forza Horizon 5's early access edition is the lead seller. It says a lot about how Xbox as a platform is viewed versus their content. So, let's dive in!

While we spend a good part of this week's show grappling with the resurrection of the Acclaim name, we also find time to discuss Split Fiction, Knights in Tight Spaces, Gears of War on PS5, buying a (cheap) record player, the whereabouts of Bam Margera, a big week for video game source code, and the Sonic Unleashed PC port with big implications for Xbox 360 game preservation.
