Generic drugs are, in many ways, the unsung hero of America's health care system, bringing powerful medical innovations within the reach of millions more people. These cheaper copies of brand-name drugs — from pills that stop heart attacks to antibiotics that cure life-threatening infections — save America hundreds of billions of dollars a year. But will affordable, high-quality generic drugs continue to be there when we need them?Some players are abandoning this business while others slash costs by cutting dangerous corners. Shortages of older generic drugs have become the norm, sending doctors scrambling. At the same time, crucial new medicines are proving tougher to copy on the cheap, saddling patients with brand-name prices.Over the course of “Race to the Bottom,” our new three-part podcast series, we'll explore why this industry that's so essential to our health is in trouble — and what could change that.In part one, we examine the history of this industry. Forty years ago this month, President Ronald Reagan signed groundbreaking, bipartisan legislation that gave birth to a new drug market. Lawmakers made choices back then that help explain the wild success and also the troubles we see today with generic medicines.Guests:Christine Baeder, MBA, President, Apotex USAAlfred Engelberg, JD, retired attorney and former counsel to the Generic Pharmaceutical AssociationLeslie Walker, Senior Reporter/Producer, TradeoffsLearn more and read a full transcript on our website.Al Engelberg's recently published memoir, “Breaking the Medicine Monopolies”, digs into the history of generic drugs.

Most sales outreach blends into the noise not because sellers lack effort, but because they approach prospects the same way everyone else does. In this episode, Ashley Winston breaks down why traditional outreach tactics fall flat and how sales professionals can stand out by leading with relevance, clarity, and genuine curiosity. We explore how to create conversations that feel natural, human, and worth responding to.Why Prospects Ignore Most Sales Outreach (00:02:10 – 00:03:35)Ashley explains that buyers aren't ignoring messages because they're rude, they're overwhelmed.Generic outreach, vague value statements, and self-focused messaging give prospects no reason to engage.The real issue isn't volume, it's relevance.The Biggest Mistake Salespeople Make in Messaging (00:03:35 – 00:05:10)Most outreach talks about the seller instead of the buyer.Ashley shares why messaging that leads with credentials, features, or company history immediately creates disengagement.Prospects care less about who you are and more about whether you understand them.How to Personalize Without Overcomplicating It (00:05:10 – 00:06:55)Personalization doesn't mean writing long messages.Ashley explains how small signals like role relevance, timing, and context, dramatically increase response rates without extra effort.Relevance beats creativity every time.Using Curiosity Instead of Pressure (00:06:55 – 00:08:30)Rather than pushing meetings, Ashley encourages sellers to spark curiosity.Open-ended questions invite conversation and reduce resistance, making prospects feel in control instead of sold to.Pressure ends conversations. Curiosity starts them.How to Earn Replies Without Chasing Prospects (00:08:30 – 00:10:05)Ashley breaks down why follow-ups fail when there's no value added.Each touchpoint should introduce a new insight, observation, or reason to respond not just “checking in.”Silence is feedback. Adjust accordingly.What High-Performing Sellers Do Differently (00:10:05 – 00:12:10)Top performers focus on quality conversations, not activity metrics.Ashley explains how intentional outreach, patience, and consistency lead to better pipeline health and stronger relationships.Selling is about connection, not coercion.Key Lesson: Make It About Them, Not You (00:12:10 – 00:13:55)When outreach is centered on the buyer's world, challenges, and priorities, responses come naturally.Sales success comes from empathy, relevance, and respect, not persistence alone.“If your message doesn't immediately answer ‘Why should I care?', it won't get a reply.” – Ashley WinstonResourcesWant help applying these strategies directly to your pipeline and hitting your quota?Join The Sales Evangelist Mastermind, a 90-day program designed to help you close more deals and hit your number.Learn more at thesalesevangelist.com/mastermindSponsorship OffersThis episode is brought to you in part by HubSpot.With HubSpot Sales Hub, your data, tools, and teams come together on one platform to help you close deals faster.

Joshua BoydKey Text: Luke 2:1 — “And it came to pass…”1. Words Are Never Just IntroductoryScripture doesn't use filler language.“And it came to pass” signals something generated, not merely reported.The Bible is God's living Word, carrying power and purpose.2. Speaking From the HeartJesus: “Out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.”What fills our heart shapes what we say—and what we say shapes our lives.Words spoken in faith (positive or negative) drive real outcomes.3. “It Came to Pass” = GenomaiThe Greek word genomai means:To come into existenceTo be made or completedTo generate or cause to beWhen Scripture says “it came to pass,” it implies creation in motion.4. Words Plant SeedsSpeaking God's Word is sowing seed—first into our own hearts.We can't give what we don't have in abundance (peace, healing, salvation).Words begin processes that later bear fruit.5. Prophecy Was Seed-PlantingGenesis 3:15: Promise of a Savior spoken immediately after the Fall.Isaiah 7:14: A virgin will conceive.Micah 5:2: The Savior will be born in Bethlehem.Luke 1–2: The fulfillment—Mary, Joseph, Jesus.These weren't predictions only—they were mechanisms God used to bring the Savior into existence.6. God Speaks, Time RespondsGod knows the end from the beginning.When He speaks, it's already “done,” even if time passes before manifestation.Mark 11:24 — We believe we receive when we pray, not when we see.7. Genomai in Action (New Testament)Matthew 6:10 — “Thy will be done (genomai).”Matthew 8:13 — “As you have believed, so be it done.”Matthew 8:26 — Jesus speaks peace; a great calm comes to pass.Matthew 9:29 — “According to your faith be it done.”Faith-filled words generate results.8. Our Responsibility TodayGod works through spoken faith—not wishful thinking.Start with God's Word (Scripture or a personal promise).Speak it consistently, even before specifics appear.Generic words lead to specific fulfillment—just like Mary.9. ApplicationSpeak peace into chaos.Speak healing over sickness.Speak God's future over your children, work, church, and relationships.Words mixed with faith produce visible fruit.Bottom Line: The Word spoken becomes flesh. God generates His will through words—and He invites us to do the same.

AI can feel like a creativity cheat code… or like the death of originality. In this short, punchy solo episode, Susan argues the truth is simpler: AI doesn't create creativity. It creates options. Creativity still belongs to the driver—your taste, courage, and point of view. Episode summary Susan tackles a question she hears constantly: does AI expand creativity or flatten it? Her answer: it depends on how you're using it. If you use AI like a photocopier—generate a first draft and ship it unchanged—you're not becoming more creative. You're becoming more efficient at being generic. But if you use AI like a paintbrush—as a sparring partner, a possibility engine, a constraint generator, or a remix assistant—it can shorten the distance between blank page and something you can shape. The episode is a practical reset on what creativity actually requires in the AI era: taste, discernment, point of view, and the courage to be a little weird on purpose. Key takeaways AI doesn't create creativity. It creates options. Creativity still requires intent, judgement, and discernment. Paintbrush vs Photocopier is the core distinction. Photocopier: you accept the default output and publish it. Paintbrush: you use AI to generate raw material, then you curate and shape. People can "spot AI writing" when there's no point of view. Generic writing usually means the human outsourced the messy parts: emotional clarity, lived experience, and risk. Creativity needs both taste and courage. AI doesn't do courage. Taste is what you choose—and what you reject. Better prompts aren't about asking for "the answer." They're about asking for raw material: angles, metaphors, structures, constraints, and pushback. Ways to use AI like a paintbrush Try these modes when you feel stuck: Sparring partner: "Push back on this." "Argue the opposite." "What am I not seeing?" Possibility engine: "Give me 20 angles." "Give me metaphors." "Suggest surprising structures." Constraint generator: "Make this an 8-word active headline." "Explain it for a 12-year-old." "Turn it into a story with a clear villain." Remix assistant: "Turn this into a framework." "Make it a checklist." "Turn it into a debate." The mini exercise Susan gives you Pick something you're working on (a post, pitch, talk, plan). Then ask AI: What's the most boring version of this? What's the boldest version of this? What's the truest version of this for me? Then you decide what to keep, amplify, or reject. That's the creative act. Episode highlights 00:02.36 — The core question: does AI make you more or less creative? 00:18.46 — "It depends who's driving" (AI amplifies you) 00:55.04 — Core belief: AI creates options, not creativity 01:23.10 — Paintbrush vs photocopier framing 01:38.81 — The photocopier trap: shipping first drafts unchanged 02:16.38 — Why people can "tell it's AI" (patterned, POV-less output) 03:03.35 — Creativity requires taste + courage (AI doesn't do courage) 03:19.86 — Choose the paintbrush path 03:37.29 — Use AI as a sparring partner (push back / argue opposite / what am I missing?) 03:47.10 — Use AI as a possibility engine (20 angles, metaphors, surprising structures) 04:18.08 — Use constraints to force originality (8-word headline, etc.) 05:16.92 — What "taste" actually is: what you choose (and reject) 05:45.66 — Ask for raw material, not "the answer" 06:05.56 — Mini exercise setup (post, pitch, talk, plan) 06:21.82 — Three-question prompt: boring vs bold vs true 07:27.10 — When AI makes you less creative: avoiding the thinking 07:38.96 — Don't quit AI—change the prompt 07:51.10 — Ask for "stranger / truer / mine" 08:03.45 — Wrap: creativity is in the driver's hands 08:19.29 — Quick ask: rating + review If you're feeling creatively stuck, don't ask AI to be creative for you. Ask it to help you explore—then use your taste to choose.

AI-powered search is fundamentally changing how people discover tax and accounting professionals — and the 2026 tax law reset is about to separate firms that are prepared from those that aren't.In this episode of The Growth Minded Accountant, Lee Reams and Rebekah Barton unpack two major forces converging at the same time:• Why AI search tools are reducing visibility for generic tax and accounting websites • How discovery now works when search engines synthesize answers instead of ranking pages • What the 2026 tax reset means for client expectations, planning demand, and advisory opportunities • Why narrative, authority, and clarity matter more than templates and keywords • How firms can transition from compliance-heavy work to higher-value advisory without increasing headcountThis conversation isn't about chasing trends or fear-based marketing. It's about understanding how visibility, trust, and firm growth now work — and how growth-minded tax and accounting professionals can position themselves to win heading into 2026.If you're a CPA, EA, or tax professional thinking about the future of your firm, this episode will challenge how you think about discovery, positioning, and advisory growth.

“Drug development has become slower and more expensive despite all the new technology,” says Eric Hughes, executive vice president of Global R&D and chief medical officer of Teva Pharmaceutical. “That’s caused by increased regulatory scrutiny, more needs for quality, more needs for real treatment effects. But we’re in a unique position where we can stay really hyper-focused on what we’re doing. I’m on calls every week driving teams on enrollment studies, looking at data as quickly as possible, being able to pivot on things that I see that they’re bringing to me and being able to make decisions very rapidly and drive programs forward. I think that that ability to be like a biotech in a very large company is part of the secret sauce of what Teva’s doing right.” In this episode of the Vanguards of Health Care podcast, Hughes sits down with Bloomberg Intelligence analyst Ann-Hunter van Kirk for an in-depth interview about how the legacy generic manufacturer has built an R&D engine by replacing silos with a matrix structure, building partnerships and capitalizing on speed with AI.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Burnout prevention advice rarely works for practice owners because it ignores the structural realities of running a healthcare business. Generic wellness tips like "set better boundaries" or "take more vacations" fall flat when you're responsible for payroll, team development, and practice sustainability. In this episode, Tracy breaks down why traditional burnout prevention fails and shares three strategic pillars that actually address the root causes of depletion for independent practice owners. Click here for full show notes Is your practice growth-ready? See Where Your Practice Stands: Take our Practice Growth Readiness Assessment Drawing from a powerful CME wellness workshop in Silicon Valley, Tracy explores the generational divide emerging around burnout—younger physicians drawing hard lines about sacrifice while seasoned physicians grapple with whether to perpetuate the moral injury they've experienced. The conversation reveals how we've normalized exhaustion as a badge of honor and built healthcare systems that require sacrifice. But it doesn't have to be this way. Episode Highlights: Why employed physicians may actually be at higher risk for burnout than practice owners—and what that reveals about autonomy and agency The "frog in boiling water" reality: how for-profit insurance since the 1970s has gradually conditioned physicians to accept unsustainable conditions Time Leadership vs. Time Management: why optimizing your calendar won't solve burnout if you're working on the wrong things The $10 vs. $100 task framework: how to stop spending expert-level time on basic tasks Three essential questions for sustainable growth decisions: "Only me? Today? Someone else?" Why "slow down to speed up" isn't just a platitude—it's the foundation of strategic practice leadership How clarity creates speed while haste creates chaos (and why American hustle culture gets this backwards) The connection between business systems and wellbeing: why you can't separate practice sustainability from personal sustainability Memorable Quotes: "Time management is about getting more done. Time leadership is about getting the RIGHT things done." "Real leadership is building systems that don't depend on your heroic effort." "Growth without sustainability isn't growth—it's extraction." "Clarity equals speed. Lack of clarity equals chaos and plate-spinning." "Prevention isn't about bubble baths and boundaries. It's about strategic changes to how you lead your time, build your systems, and approach growth." "You didn't create this system. You've been adapting to survive in it—one small compromise at a time, one policy change at a time, one administrative burden at a time." "If 'all hands on deck' is happening weekly, it's time to re-examine some things." This episode is essential listening for practice owners who recognize themselves in the exhaustion phase and want to make strategic changes before burnout progresses. Prevention is so much easier than recovery—and it starts with understanding that your wellbeing and your business success aren't separate challenges.

We reveal why the advice you see on LinkedIn and in broad industry reports—telling you to chase large, general-purpose sites—is completely misleading for most businesses, especially B2B and niche companies.What You'll Learn:86% of citations are for industry specific sites vs. 14% for "general purpose sites": See actual data from our client base that shows 86% of LLM citations for niche topics come from industry-specific publications, while Reddit, Wikipedia, and YouTube account for only 14%.Differences in how to approach AI visibility for your brand vs. Household name brands: Discover why B2C household names (like Tesla and Peloton) do get cited on general sites, but your niche B2B software company won't. The problem with measuring random prompts: Understand how broad studies that use 5,000 randomly selected keywords are statistically biased toward consumer queries, making their findings irrelevant to your specific business goals.A New Tactical Framework: Learn the exact, actionable steps for a Citation Outreach strategy that works : how to choose the right topics, identify the actual cited domains using tools or manual checks, and target your PR efforts where they will actually drive AI visibility.Stop doing general PR and start showing up in the AI answers that matter to your bottom line.Links & Resources:Read the full article for more detail on the study: https://www.growandconvert.com/research/llms-source-industry-sites-more-than-generic-sites/Check out our AI Visibility Tool: https://traqer.ai Catch up on our overall GEO Framework: https://www.growandconvert.com/ai/prioritized-geo/ Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment to support the Grow and Convert Marketing Show!
If you're a coach who's ready to change lives but you're struggling to stand out from all the other coaches saying the exact same things... this episode is for you.It's completely natural when you're starting out to look at what other coaches are doing. But here's what happens: you end up reading other coaches' Instagram bios, checking out their websites, and without even realising it, you start mimicking the language you're seeing everywhere. The result? Your messaging becomes beige. Safe. Generic. And when potential clients are scrolling through Instagram or reading emails, they can't tell the difference between you and any other coach out there.What Is Your Edge?Your edge is the combination of everything that makes you unmistakably you: - Your values - the hills you're willing to die on- Your lived and learned experience - all the lessons you learned the hard way- The things you believe that not everyone agrees with- The perspectives that make some people nod furiously and others hit unfollow (brilliant!)- Your authentic personality - not the professional coach version you think you should be- Your messaging - the things you can't stop talking about This Can't Be OutsourcedYou can't shortcut this work. You can't copy someone else's positioning. This isn't the glamorous bit of building a business - but it's the difference between a coaching business that actually grows and makes you money versus one that constantly struggles to attract the right people. It's the difference between feeling confident in who you are and what you offer versus feeling like an imposter every time you post on social media.

In this episode of Off Script, we continue our conversation with John Murphy III, president and CEO of the Association for Accessible Medicines, to dig deeper into the vulnerabilities and structural challenges shaping U.S. generic and biosimilar drug production. Murphy examines the most fragile links in the supply chain — from the lack of domestic API production to key starting-material constraints — and explains why long-term, coordinated policy action is essential for restoring supply chain resiliency. He also outlines the legislative, regulatory, and market reforms that could strengthen domestic capacity without compromising patient access or affordability.
Build an AI That Thinks Like You Using ChatGPT Best PracticesRunning a business as a solo owner means every task, every deadline, every piece of content falls on your shoulders.Some weeks, the to-do list feels like a second job. And when you finally find a tool that can shave off 30 minutes here and there, it adds up.That's where I was a few months ago, deep in the writing process for my book, trying to keep up with client work, content, admin, all of it. (We wear many hats.)I decided to give ChatGPT a shot to help edit some of the writing. I uploaded my rough draft with stories and insights, but the revision didn't sound like me. The stories were mine. The insights were mine. But the voice? Filtered. Generic.That's when I realized, if AI is going to help us, it needs to know me. It needs more than a great prompt.

After working with more than 10,000 women in her clinic, Kirsten recognized something big: women were struggling because our healthcare system simply wasn't designed to meet our unique, day-to-day needs.So she built one of the very first AI-driven fertility platforms to help women uncover hidden factors that affect cycles, energy, fertility, and overall wellbeing. Her work has been spotlighted everywhere from TechCrunch to Fox News, and she's built a community of more than 300,000 women who show up for her honest, empowering insights.TakeawaysWomen often lack the necessary support for their health needs.Healthcare should empower women to understand their bodies.Menstrual pain is a significant issue that affects many women.Liver health is crucial for overall well-being and fertility.Generic health advice can be misleading and harmful.Nutrition plays a vital role in fertility and menstrual health.Personalized supplements can enhance health outcomes.PCOS is a metabolic condition that requires careful management.Tracking health metrics can provide valuable insights into well-being.Seasonal changes can impact women's health and should be considered in care.If you've ever felt brushed off, confused by your symptoms, or simply wished someone would explain what's going on in a straightforward, grounded way this episode is for you.

My name is Bella Vasta, and today I'm here to talk about something that is costing you clients every single day, potentially. I see this online and I finally had to do a podcast on it, and you probably don't even realize you're doing it. I'm talking about your marketing—specifically your website, your social media, your emails, all your intake forms, everything. Let me take a guess at what they probably sound like. Does this sound like you? “We have been in business for 10 years, we're insured and bonded, we love animals, we go above and beyond, we give you peace of mind, we're experienced and professional.” Yawn. Blah blah blah. Everyone can say that. It's not unique and it's not something that's going to make people stop their scroll and get their eyeballs on your content. And if you're spending time or money creating and publishing this content, then you want it to get traction. The truth is they only care about their problems. They don't care how great you are until you get their attention. It's their fears and sleepless nights worrying about how their pet is at home while they're away. And if your marketing isn't speaking directly to those pain points, then you're invisible. And I don't want you to be invisible. You work too hard and you're too amazing to be invisible. You're just another pet sitter in a sea of pet sitters. That's why they don't understand the difference between you and Rover. You end up competing on price because you haven't given them any real reason to choose you. You haven't made them feel anything. You should be making people feel something online. In this episode, I'm going to show you how to transform your marketing by creating deeper customer avatars and speaking directly to the people you want to serve more. We're going to narrow that down. I know this sounds crazy, and yes, there's still work you'll have to do after this episode,
This week on Fat Science, Dr. Emily Cooper, Mark Wright, and Andrea Taylor dive into your burning questions from around the world—exploring misunderstood metabolic problems, hard-won solutions for real people, and the science behind the headlines. From “selfish brain” physiology to the rollercoaster of insurance and medication access, Dr. Cooper brings clinical clarity and practical hope.Hear real-world listener stories, get advice on tuning your metabolic health, and learn why personalization—not “calories in, calories out”—leads to better outcomes. This is no silver bullet show: it's metabolic medicine, mythbusting, and science-backed encouragement for your journey.Key Questions AnsweredWhat is the “selfish brain” and how does it really impact blood sugar and diabetes risk?Why do GLP-1 medications affect stamina and hunger, and how should you fuel your body if you're using them?If insurance pulls coverage for medications like Ozempic or Zepbound, what are your practical, safe, and affordable options?How do metabolic markers, medication “cocktails,” and genetic testing shape Dr. Cooper's individualized care—and can you taper off meds and maintain results?What does “normal” blood sugar look like after meals, and how do you distinguish trends from outliers?Key TakeawaysMetabolism is complex—individualized care is essential. Diabetes, hypoglycemia, and insulin resistance all have personal causes and require testing like the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test to solve—not one-size-fits-all advice. GLP-1s require smart fueling. Many experience reduced stamina on these medications. Dr. Cooper recommends upping both complex and simple carbs pre-exercise and consulting with a registered dietitian if fatigue persists. Insurance coverage is a challenge—but not the end. Generic options (like liraglutide/Victoza via Mark Cuban Cost Plus Drugs), manufacturer programs, and “cocktail” regimens can support continued progress, even if you lose access to top-brand GLP-1s. Feedback loops & genetics drive lasting outcomes. While some patients can successfully—slowly—taper medications, most with metabolic dysfunction will need long-term support. “Clean eating” alone rarely reverses underlying feedback loop glitches. Monitoring is powerful. Using blood sugar monitors (especially for diabetics) can demystify meal spikes and help fine-tune nutrition and medication timing. Personal stories reflect broader truths. Listeners share struggles and solutions, reinforcing that metabolic health spans medication, motivation, and mindset.Dr. Cooper's Actionable TipsAlways dig deeper with testing—not just A1C but also post-meal spikes via the Mixed Meal Tolerance Test.If you're prescribed a GLP-1 and struggle with energy, increase carb intake safely and talk to a doctor about medication adjustment. For lost coverage, stick to FDA-approved sources: Lilly Direct for Zepbound, Novocare for Wegovy, and Mark Cuban for generics. Don't risk unregulated online compounds. Recognize the difference between generalized “healthy” habits and targeted strategies that actually move your biomarkers.Stay consistent and compassionate—focus on small improvements over extremes and absolutes.Notable Quote“The metabolism is regulated by a feedback loop…when you introduce outside hormone forms, you strengthen signals to favor fuel utilization over energy conservation.”— Dr. Emily CooperLinks & ResourcesPodcast Home: Fat Science Podcast WebsiteSubmit a Show Question: questions@fatsciencepodcast.com or dr.c@fatsciencepodcast.comDr. Emily Cooper on LinkedInMark Wright on LinkedInAndrea Taylor on InstagramGeneric medication access: Mark Cuban Cost Plus DrugsZepbound direct: Lilly DirectAdditional info: Novocare for WegovyFat Science is your source for breaking diet myths and advancing the science of true metabolic health.

Think having a word of the year means picking one generic term and calling it good? I tried that. It didn't work. Last year I went with "joyful" and it was solid. But this year I realized something during an Inner Circle call that changed everything. One word isn't enough if it doesn't tell you exactly what to do. My clients were throwing out words like "focused" and "determined," and I could see it in their faces. They were trapped. Today I'm sharing why I broke the rules and went with two words instead of one. You'll learn how to make your word actually mean something and why high concept thinking beats generic motivation every time. Featured Story I named last year "joiful" after my wife. J-O-I full. Her name is Joi, so I got to tell her all year that I named my year after her. Smart move on my part. But honestly, I did it because happiness kept slipping away. I realized we're not here to be happy all the time. Life gets hard. But we can be joyful in any situation. That shift mattered. This year I needed something different. Something more specific. I started with "simple" because I've been saying for 20 years that simple works. But when I tested it with my Inner Circle, I saw the problem immediately. Simple what? Simple where? It was too broad to actually use. That's when I decided to break the rules. Important Points A word of the year only works if it's high concept. You should instantly know what it means and how to use it when you see or hear it. Generic words like "focused" or "determined" sound good but don't give you direction. If your word could apply to everything, it applies to nothing. Sometimes you need to empower your word with a second word to make it specific enough to matter. Don't be trapped by someone else's rules. Memorable Quotes "I like simple. Simple works. I've said this for 20 years on this program." "When it's everywhere, it becomes really, really washed out, and you just can't do much with it." "So my one word is two, strategically simple. I'm going to break the rules." Scott's Three-Step Approach Make your word high concept so anyone who hears it instantly understands what you mean. If it needs explanation, it's not the right word. Test your word by asking where it applies. If the answer is "everywhere," you need to get more specific or add context. Don't be afraid to empower your word with a second word that defines how you'll use it. Rules are meant to be broken when they don't serve you. Chapter Notes 0:15 - Why one word might not be enough for you 1:24 - How observational motivation actually works 3:13 - The trap of generic words and vague intentions 4:28 - What high concept really means for your life 6:45 - Why strategically simple beats just simple 8:30 - Breaking the rules to make your word matter Connect With Me Search for the Daily Boost on YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify Email: support@motivationtomove.com Main Website: motivationtomove.com YouTube: youtube.com/dailyboostpodcast Instagram: @heyscottsmith Facebook Page: facebook.com/motivationtomove Facebook Group: Join the Daily Boost Community word of the year, goal setting, new year planning, personal growth, intentional living, high concept thinking, simplicity, strategic planning, observational motivation, breaking rules, specificity, clarity, Scott Smith, Daily Boost, Inner Circle coaching Learn more about your ad choices.

Welcome back! Sade returns after settling into Miami city life to share a powerful observation from her coaching practice: mental clutter drains your energy and blocks your goals—especially your dating life.You might think romantic relationships cause most of your mental overwhelm. But Sade reveals the truth: women carry exhausting thought loops about everyone—parents, bosses, children, friends, even strangers in the grocery store. This hyper-awareness of other people's comfort steals your time, focus, and energy.Sade shares real client stories: One woman spent nine hours each workday in a panicked rush, worried she wouldn't finish on time to make her dates. The rushing changed nothing—she left on time 50% of the time regardless. Another client obsessed over her husband's betrayal, unable to handle finances or make plans.The solution? Identify your mental clutter. Notice what occupies your mind all day. Recognize how these thought loops drain you and prevent action on goals you care about.This is the deeper coaching work Sade does—not just helping you meet a partner, but clearing the obstacles that stop you from doing what you know you should do. Your brain, personality, and situation are unique. Generic "ten-step plans" don't work because they ignore your specific barriers.Ready to clear your mental clutter and achieve your dating goals? Schedule a complimentary consultation call with Sade before November 25th. Visit sadecurry.com/info or reply to any email.

The Story Behind the Bottle: Why Your Clinic's Origin Story Matters In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares a powerful lesson about storytelling, sparked by a birthday gift—a 1985 bottle of wine with an incredible backstory. What started as a meaningful gesture turned into a masterclass on how stories give depth, emotion, and memorability to everything—from a bottle of wine to your physical therapy clinic. Quick Ask Help us reach our goal of adding $1B in cash-based services to the profession—share this episode with a clinician friend or post it on your Instagram stories and tag Danny. He'll reshare it! Episode Summary The Gift: Danny tracks down a rare 1985 bottle of wine as a 40th birthday gift—and discovers that the story behind it matters more than the wine itself. The Lesson: The story gives meaning. Without it, even something valuable loses its emotional connection and memorability. The Parallels: Your clinic is your “bottle of wine.” Patients remember stories—why you started, who you help, and what drives you. Sales takeaway: Facts tell, but stories sell. The human brain connects more deeply through narrative and emotion. Real-world example: A clinician with an ACL tear who now helps ACL patients isn't just selling rehab—she's sharing a relatable journey. How to Use This Lesson Craft your origin story: Write down what you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice your story: Tell it naturally at workshops, networking events, or in your videos and social posts. Refine it fast: Use short “elevator pitch” versions for local groups or online intros. Be specific: Generic stories get forgotten. Details and personal experiences make you memorable. Share it everywhere: On your website, your Google listing, your email signature, and every patient interaction. Mindset & Application Without story, there's no stickiness: People remember emotion, not bullet points. Context multiplies impact: A great gift or clinic means more when people understand the meaning behind it. Social proof amplifies belief: Just like the wine connoisseur validated Danny's gift, testimonials validate your service. Repetition builds clarity: The more you share your story, the more confident and authentic it becomes. Notable Quotes “You may have an awesome bottle of wine, but if people don't know the story behind it, it doesn't hit the same way.” “Your clinic is your bottle of wine—your story makes it memorable.” “Facts tell. Stories sell.” Action Items Write your origin story: What you do, who you help, and why you do it. Practice telling it to patients, referral partners, and community contacts. Add your story to your website's About section and intro videos. Share a short version at your next local event or online post.

Today's Headlines: President Trump has formally declared the U.S. to be in an “armed conflict” with drug cartels, invoking war powers and ordering military strikes on Caribbean boats the administration labels as “terrorist organizations.” Lawmakers in both parties are skeptical of the legal basis but—shocker—seem unlikely to act. Meanwhile, the government shutdown has left 750,000 workers unpaid or furloughed, and the White House is now threatening permanent firings with help from Project 2025 architect Russell Vought. Shutdown propaganda even seeped into federal employees' auto-replies, which were forcibly edited to blame Democrats. The Energy Department axed $7.6 billion in clean energy grants, conveniently targeting states that voted for Kamala Harris. The administration also sent nine universities—including Vanderbilt, MIT, and Brown—a “compact” demanding they overhaul admissions, freeze tuition, and abolish certain departments in exchange for federal funds. Elsewhere, the FDA approved a generic version of the abortion pill mifepristone, sparking predictable outrage despite it being a routine process. Yom Kippur was marred by a deadly terror attack at a synagogue in Manchester, where two worshippers were killed and the attacker was shot dead. And finally, Commerce Secretary Howard “Laughin'” Lutnick, a former neighbor of Jeffrey Epstein, suggested Epstein blackmailed powerful men with videos, casually detonating months of damage control efforts with a single podcast appearance.
