Hiring can be one of the most frustrating parts of running a business—so much time spent, yet the right people still feel out of reach.

When things click, though, the right hire can change everything. Jermaine Williamson is a recruitment and talent acquisition expert with over 30 years of experience. As a solopreneur, he helps businesses improve hiring processes and supports job seekers with strategic coaching. His work spans multiple industries, focusing on practical, scalable solutions.

Caches Chris Armstrong and Zacca Newman catch up on all things running—from the importance of personalised and individual coaching to shining a spotlight on two inspiring athletes from the Run2PB community. Chris is back into the swing of things following his Ballarat Half effort and gives us a snapshot of the past week Zacca and Chriso talk about the importance of personalised coaching and how one size does not fit all, and how generic plans, are doing a disservice to the running community due to the lack pf the flexibility, individual assessment, and ongoing adjustments necessary to account for how a unique runner responds to training, their potential limitations, or unexpected life events, potentially leading to non-optimal progress or increased injury risk.

Let's Chat!What if the mask you've been wearing has become your face? In this riveting third installment of the Piece Unique series, we venture into the darkest chamber yet – one dedicated not to learning, but to burial. Here we confront the silent killer of masculine potential: genericness.From childhood, we're systematically trained to be palatable rather than powerful, rewarded for compatibility rather than clarity. We master the language of smoothness – "no worries," "I'm just reaching out," "whatever works for you" – until these phrases aren't just habits but our very identity. This episode exposes the devastating truth: the more digestible you become, the more invisible you are. Generic men don't just lose their edge; they lose their signature, their myth, their capacity to leave an imprint on the world.Through a masterful blend of metaphor and practical guidance, we outline a clinical process for extracting the generic from your being. Learn to audit your phrases, interrupt your smiling reflex, control conversational rhythm, speak undiluted truth, and dress not to decorate but to disrupt. Then cement these changes through powerful reinforcement rituals designed to build a nervous system that never bends to formatting again.The transformation isn't about becoming better – it's about becoming less compliant, less expected, impossible to ignore. When you stop performing, people respond differently. They listen more intently, question less frequently, and experience your presence as weight rather than decoration. You become "untranslated" rather than mysterious – felt rather than followed, seen rather than scrolled.Ready to place the third scroll on the altar and awaken something ancient within yourself?

Struggling to make your real estate data stand out in a sea of generic market reports? In this episode of Rooted in Revenue, I share practical insights from my recent workshop with NRBA professionals Kelley Kesterson and Angelica Suarez, who are looking to elevate their marketing with meaningful data visualization. Discover how to transform complex market statistics into compelling visual stories that build trust and position you as the go-to expert in your local market—all using tools you already have access to, like Google Sheets. Stop wasting time on generic industry charts that mean nothing to your audience and start creating content that genuinely connects. Key Points Data with context builds trust - Generic industry charts without local relevance or explanation provide no value to your audience. Simplify your data storytelling - Focus on communicating one clear message rather than overwhelming with multiple data points. Use accessible tools - Google Sheets offers easy chart creation and customization without needing advanced design skills. Brand your visuals - Customize colors to match your brand and include your logo so graphics remain attributed if shared. Create master templates - Develop Google Slides masters with different layouts for different content types to maintain consistency. Prioritize readability - Use high contrast between text and background, and consider accessibility for all viewers. Post with purpose - Better to post quality content weekly than generic, contextless daily updates. Establish visual consistency - Different content types should have recognizable, consistent layouts. Consider format versatility - Create both square (Instagram) and rectangular (website/LinkedIn) versions of your template. Show local expertise - Position yourself as the authority by translating national trends to your specific market conditions.
In this episode I debunk the lie that the fitness industry teaches about discipline being the key to a successful transformation and how that philosophy has kept dieters on a hamster wheel for years. Every frustrated dieter wonders why they can't just be more disciplined. They wonder why they can start off strong in the morning and the wheels inevitably fall off later that night. Generic dieting advice and the “just try harder” narrative is flawed. In reality, most people have tried harder to lose weight than anything else they've ever had to work at. So if trying harder isn't the answer, what is? Imagine waking up each day trusting that you aren't going to overeat, that you won't run out of willpower, and you'll go to bed that night feeling proud that you broke the habit of overeating and developed the habits of the 'naturally thin' so you never had to diet again. How would it feel to be in control of food, instead of food controlling you? Our habits shape our lives and finding the right system makes all the difference in the world. Whether you've been a Restrictor or a Permitter in your dieting past, your current habits either work for you or against you. When you understand the power of a habit, for better or worse, it's easy to see how having the right habits, systems, and support in place is a game changer when it comes to fat loss. In this episode, you'll discover how to become consistent so you can not only achieve your goals, but you can maintain them with ease. You'll learn: How habits have all of the control and developing the right ones will save you years of frustration. How the pressures of life keep you circling the diet drain and how to practice being persistent no matter what obstacles you face. The real answer to sustainable fat loss that leave you feeling in control of food and never go on a diet again (HINT: It all starts in the mind). If forcing your body into a smaller version of itself through dieting worked, it would have worked by now. It's time to try something different. Something that actually works.

Did you know that 90% of generic medications in America primarily come from China? In 2019, government advisor Rosemary Gibson revealed shocking information about medication quality and safety. Research found that 13% of generic medications coming into the US were defectively manufactured, containing carcinogens, lead, arsenic, and other toxins. As a parent or patient, you deserve to know what's going into your body. I also explore the concerning impact of food dyes on our health - especially for children. Red Dye #40 has been linked to allergies, migraines, and immune dysfunction, while Yellow #5 can damage DNA and white blood cells. These synthetic dyes can cause neurobehavioral problems in children and have already been banned in places like California and the UK. Food companies are getting sneaky too - rebranding dyes with innocent-sounding names like "allura red" or "brilliant blue" to make them seem natural. You'll find these harmful ingredients hiding in popular snacks like M&Ms, Doritos, and many children's cereals. Enroll in the Parent Membership Subscribe to the Connect My Brain YouTube Channel!

Send us a textCulture isn't just a buzzword – it's the foundation that determines whether businesses thrive or merely survive. This conversation dives deep into why prioritizing people before products and profits creates sustainable success. The research is clear: money only impacts happiness up to about $75,000 per year. Beyond that threshold, purpose and meaning take precedence – especially among younger generations seeking work-life balance and connection to something greater than themselves. We explore how sharing your long-term vision with team members creates buy-in and alignment that ripples throughout your organization.Core values deserve special attention. Generic principles like "honesty" and "integrity" fall flat compared to actionable values that guide decision-making. One example shared: "Do what's right, not what's easy" – a principle that team members can apply both professionally and personally. We discuss how businesses impact far more lives than most realize, with a single company potentially influencing thousands of households through its network of clients and their employees.As your business grows, consider establishing a dedicated "culture steward" to maintain your organizational DNA through hiring and onboarding. Like Amazon's famous door desks (still used today as a symbol of frugality), culture-defining elements become powerful when intentionally cultivated. Whether you run a marketing agency, contracting business, or any other enterprise, the message remains clear: happy teams naturally create happy customers. Your culture isn't just nice to have – it's your competitive advantage.If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.

As the internet becomes more integral to economic development, cultural diplomacy, and public governance, there may be strategic value in having custom generic top-level domains (gTLDs). Active participants in the global Internet Governance space, Lance Hinds and Carlton Samuels, are back to discuss ICANN's New gTLD Program: Next Round, which is currently open. The conversation covered, among other things: * the difference between country code top-level domains (ccTLDs) and gTLDs; * the current state of use of ccTLDs in the Caribbean region; * the New gTLD Program and the benefits that could be realised; and * the challenges to Caribbean countries and organisations to apply for new custom gTLDs.

She clarifies the differences between perimenopause and hormonal imbalance, explores the impact of these changes on weight gain, and stresses the importance of listening to one's body. Melissa advocates for personalized approaches to health and wellness, moving away from generic solutions to address individual hormonal needs.TakeawaysYou're likely in perimenopause or experiencing hormonal imbalance.Perimenopause is a natural transition that can last for years.Hormonal imbalance can occur at any age, not just during perimenopause.Weight gain during perimenopause often occurs around the midsection.Your body is trying to protect you by storing fat around the middle.Hormonal signals are complex and require a nuanced approach.Eating less and exercising more may not be effective during this phase.Understanding your body's signals is crucial for effective health strategies.Generic solutions often fail; personalized approaches are necessary.You are not broken; your body is responding to hormonal changes.Chapters00:00Understanding Hormonal Changes03:27Perimenopause vs Hormonal Imbalance10:16Weight Gain Patterns and Hormonal Influence18:34Listening to Your Body's Signals27:59Finding the Right Solutions for YouKeywordsperimenopause, hormonal imbalance, weight gain, women's health, menopause, estrogen, progesterone, body composition, hormone testing, health strategies
Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller Mark and I always enjoy ‘getting into the weeds' and ‘geeking out' about Yes kit so here is another perfect example of this. This week we both chose 3 pieces of YesKit that took our fancy and went on about them for a long time. If you don't consider yourself a 5%er who loves hearing about the minutiae of music tech as used by Yes, then feel free to skip this episode. If you do, though, I feel I should point out that you'll miss Mark playing actual musical examples and me giving a little bit of a sneak preview of what's coming up in the Tales book. You have been warned. What bits of YesKit do we choose? Did you know all about these already? What do you think of Mark's instrumental ‘chops'? Let us know if you agree with us!

Episode Notes:Dr. Reeves' Background – Trained as a psychologist, his interest in cybersecurity emerged from a talk connecting human error to security breaches.Cybersecurity Fatigue Defined – A form of disengagement where employees lose motivation to follow security practices due to overload and conflicting advice.Not Just Apathy – Fatigue often affects people who initially cared about cybersecurity but were worn down by excessive or ineffective interventions.Training Shortcomings – Lecture-style, one-way training is frequently perceived as boring, irrelevant, or contradictory to users' experiences.Compliance vs. Effectiveness – Many organizations implement security training to meet legal requirements, even if it fails to change behavior.Reactance in Security – Users may intentionally ignore advice or rules to assert control, especially when training feels micromanaging or patronizing.Better Through Design – Reeves argues that secure systems should reduce the need for user decisions by simplifying or removing risky options altogether.Remove Rather Than Train – Limiting administrative rights is often more effective than trying to educate users out of risky behaviors.Mismatch With Reality – Generic training that conflicts with real policies or system restrictions can confuse or alienate users.Cognitive Load and Decision-Making – Under stress or fatigue, users rely on mental shortcuts (heuristics), which attackers exploit.Personal Example of Being Fooled – Reeves recounts nearly falling for a scam due to time pressure, illustrating how stress weakens judgment.Cybersecurity Buddy System – Recommends encouraging users to consult peers when making sensitive decisions, especially under pressure.Cyber Deception Strategies – Reeves now researches ways to mislead and trap attackers inside systems using decoys and tripwires.Applying Psychology to Attackers – The same behavioral models used to study users can help predict and manipulate attacker behavior.Empowering Defenders – Deception technologies can help security teams regain a sense of agency, shifting from reactive defense to proactive engagemenAbout our guest:Dr. Andrew Reeveshttps://www.linkedin.com/in/andrewreevescyber/https://research.unsw.edu.au/people/dr-andrew-reeveshttps://www.unsw.edu.au/research/ifcyberPapers or resources mentioned in this episode:Reeves, A., Delfabbro, P., & Calic, D.

Does it sometimes feel like no good deed goes unpunished?What if I told you that no scandal, setback, or stumbling block goes unrewarded, if you're willing to take the time to solve the puzzle?As a puzzle-solver programmed to challenge the status quo, ask questions, and lean into her natural curiosity, Kristy Busija (BYOO-SEE-YA) learned both of these lessons when she got fired for doing the right thing.Growing up, Kristy's parents instilled classic values – have a good work ethic, act with integrity, abide by the Golden Rule, and catch more flies with honey than with vinegar.These same values created conflict in her work when she conducted an employee assessment where participants were told their responses would be kept confidential, but her bosses demanded she give them the data anyway. They fired her for – get this – not living the “values” of the company!If that's supposed to be fine, there's a reason why Fine is a 4-Letter Word!In a moment, when you meet Kristy, you'll discover how this set off a journey of learning and self-actualization where she found out, as she says, it's hell in the hallway. All these doors – what rooms do they lead to? What did others see in Kristy through the peepholes in those doors that she couldn't see in herself?How does she solve this puzzle? What's the next conversation?Now hold that thought for just a second as I share a special invitation with you.Kristy's hype song is "Do It Again" by Steven Curtis Chapman.Resources:Kristy Busija's website: https://nextconversationconsulting.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristybusija/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/nextconversationconsulting Claim your copy of “The 2nd Wind”, the anthology that contains Kristy's chapter called “It's Hell In The Hallway”, by visiting https://buy.stripe.com/3cs6rtcga1kIaGcdR7. Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit. Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture. Because there are… Annual all-hands meetings where once a year you hear a well-rehearsed speech, employees clap politely, and everyone leaves with the same unanswered questions they came in with."Open door policies" that no one ever uses because people are uncomfortable walking in to talk with someone they don't feel like they know very well. "Fun" team-building events like escape rooms, trust falls, and awkward, out of fashion happy hours Generic "we appreciate everything you do" emails with zero personalization or sincerity.Company values posted on a wall with no substance behind them. But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to...Strengthen culture by sharing authentic stories from leadership and employees.Create connection so that remote and in-office teams know and understand each...

Discussion of the Body's Generic Response to Stress, Including Sickness Behaviors and Their Connection to Various Health Conditions with Michael R. Sherer
Last week, I interviewed a designer who strongly follows and advocates for design rules, and while that method works for some, I advocate for a different, more personal approach to home design. I discussed various design rules, their origins, and how they can be broken to create a unique, joyful space that reflects individual style. I categorized design rules into three buckets: classical aesthetic principles, practical rules learned through trial and error by pros, and cultural trends. I believe in playing with these rules rather than strictly adhering to them. I shared my thoughts on specific rules such as lighting sources, scale of lampshades, furniture placement for flow, family portraits, rug sizes, and curtain lengths, emphasizing the importance of understanding the 'why' behind each rule. For me, design is more art than science, and I encourage exploring and creating a space that truly represents one's unique style. Slow Style is about enjoying the process of decorating and finding joy in creating beauty that resonates personally. Want to finally define your style?
