Episode Summary: In this episode of the 'Paralegals on Fire' podcast, host Ann Pearson delves into strategies for thriving in a paralegal career versus merely surviving. She shares her insights from years of training paralegals, highlighting the distinguishable traits between those who excel and those who just get by. Ann also discusses her current projects, including the forthcoming Rise Legal Support Mastery Program and an attorney training course collaborated with a law firm in Chicago. She also addresses the importance of continuous personal and professional growth, mentorship, and avoiding workplace negativity. Ann emphasizes that thriving is a choice and encourages paralegals to take ownership of their careers. Key Takeaways: Survive vs. Thrive: Thriving paralegals go beyond doing what's required - they take initiative, grow their skills, and actively shape their careers instead of just getting by. Career Ownership: Success comes from taking responsibility for your professional development, not waiting for feedback or promotions to drive improvement. Excellence in Action: Thriving paralegals create systems, checklists, and habits that ensure accuracy, consistency, and high-quality work every time. Going Beyond the Job Description: The best paralegals anticipate needs, offer solutions, and seek ways to add value beyond what's expected. Leadership and Mentorship: True professionals lift others up, avoid negativity, and lead by example - even without a management title. Long-Term Impact: A thrive mindset early in your career leads to greater confidence, satisfaction, and earning potential over time. Evolving the Profession: Ann's upcoming programs (RISE and Litigator Launch Pad) aim to elevate both paralegals and attorneys through skill-building, collaboration, and excellence.

If going beyond the law is a requirement of Jewish law itself, then it is no longer “beyond” the law, but, rather, part of the law. This podcast will examine where in Judaism a Jew is required to go beyond the basic law requirement, and why and how it can, nevertheless, remain beyond the law. Numerous practical actions and examples will be discussed.

The trio is back together and today we're getting into the topic of the evolution of the media buying role, and how media buying has transformed from button-pushing inside ad platforms to a more strategic role that demands creativity, data fluency, and taking ownership of the entire customer funnel. We explore friend-of-the-show Taylor Holiday's growth engineer concept, how automation is reshaping the skill set needed, and we compare notes on how our companies are structuring our growth and paid media teams.From this, we get deeper into hiring and team culture - what traits we look for in senior marketing hires, how to build and curate self-starting teams, the importance of cultural fit, why marketers today must act like CEOs of their channels, and more.Watch the last week's episode for more on hiring for marketing: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4uFeSjSwBqe1e39cLQI78x?si=SZH0mEDkQU6VTqX9_QgMkQIf you have a question for the MOperators Hotline, click the link to be in with a chance of it being discussed on the show: https://forms.gle/1W7nKoNK5Zakm1Xv6Chapters:00:00:00 - Introduction00:06:06 - Deconstructing a Successful Product Launch00:22:35 - The Evolving Role of the Media Buyer00:37:48 - The "Marketer First" Mindset00:51:49 - How to Hire for a High-Performance Culture01:03:02 - Going Beyond the Resume to Find the Right FitPowered by:Motion.⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/pricing?utm_source=marketing-operators-podcast&utm_medium=paidsponsor&utm_campaign=march-2024-ad-reads⁠⁠⁠https://motionapp.com/creative-trendsPrescient AI.⁠⁠⁠https://www.prescientai.com/operatorsRichpanel.⁠⁠⁠https://www.richpanel.com/?utm_source=MO&utm_medium=podcast&utm_campaign=ytdescAftersell.https://www.aftersell.com/operatorsHaus.http://Haus.io/operatorsSubscribe to the 9 Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@Operators9Subscribe to the Finance Operators Podcast here: https://www.youtube.com/@FinanceOperatorsFOPSSign up to the 9 Operators newsletter here: https://9operators.com/

“It's not about you - it's about them. Avoid excuses and blaming others. Tell them with empathy and directness - what makes you uncomfortable will make this human before you more comfortable at an awful time.”There's something about the phrase “It's just business” that's always felt wrong — especially when it's used to justify layoffs, burnout, or bad behavior. But what if there's more to the story? Hear how one leader wrestles with the tension between leadership, empathy, and the messiness of modern work — from the cruelty of corporate language to the uncomfortable idea that even bad bosses and BS jobs might serve a purpose. It's a raw look at how we lead, how we're led, and how we can find meaning in the middle of the madness.This conversation is from P&G Alum Bob Gilbreath's podcast & newsletter “The Workaround” — Bob is a repeat startup founder with two exits.

Are you desperate for change but every time you venture to the edge of your comfort zone, panic ensues, and you retreat at speed? The overwhelming fear is so paralysing for you that it feels dangerous and distinctly wrong to venture forward.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) We begin with a review of how the Buddha saw "ignorance" of the basic nature of things (not so much of facts or information) as the basic problem of human life; we are as if asleep, caught in dream-like living, and need to "wake up." For the Buddha, we are especially ignorant about impermanence, dukkha (or reactivity--grabbing at the pleasant and pushing away the unpleasant or painful and believing that this is the way to happiness), the nature of the self, and nirvana or awakening. We bring in a brief report of the experience of attending the previous week's EcoDharma retreat at Spirit Rock, emphasizing especially the pervasiveness of a sense of separation--from the earth, other living beings, and each other--and the connection of such sense of separation with our systemic problems. Indigenous teachers at the retreat particularly emphasized living without such separation. The second part of the talk, we focus on the teaching of not-self (anatta), and ways of practicing that deepens our understanding of not-self, as well as how we hold this understanding of pervasive human ignorance with compassion and kindness, including in our responses to the manifestations of ignorance. The talk is followed by discussion.

Spirituality can be a powerful force for healing, but what happens when it becomes a mask for avoidance? In this conversation, our guest Ananta Ripa Ajmera explores the rising phenomenon of spiritual bypassing: using spiritual language to escape responsibility, dismiss effort as “divine timing,” or rationalize inaction as destiny.Ananta offers radical responsibility as the antidote: taking full ownership of our choices and recognizing that karma shapes every dimension of life. Drawing on Ayurveda and her own wisdom, she explains how true healing requires more than herbs and therapies; it demands selfless service, emotional honesty, and courage to face our inner wounds.Episode HighlightsSpiritual Bypassing and InactivityReal Meaning of Navratri Karma, Forgiveness, and ServiceBhagavat Gita and Krishna's LessonsThe Path of Radical ResponsibilityTimestamps00:00 – 09:45: Introduction and Spiritual Bypassing09:45 – 22:12: The Goddess Journey Through Chakras22:12 – 24:41: New Beginnings, Forgiveness, and Service24:42 – 31:44: The Essence of the Bhagavad Gita31:45 – 36:52: Friendship with the Self and the Power of Truth36:53 – 42:23: Conflict as Medicine and the Practice of Sthitaprajna42:23 – 51:57: The Path of Radical Responsibility51:57 – 01:01:12: The Essence of Spiritual HealingAbout Ananta Ripa Ajmera A spiritual teacher and 10-time award-winning, 2-time bestselling author of The Way of the Goddess and The Ayurveda Way.

(Spirit Rock Meditation Center) The Buddha saw the core problem in human life as "ignorance"(avijjā), not an ignorance of facts or information, but rather a not-knowing about the basic nature of reality and our experience. The Dalai Lama tells us: "There is a fundamental disparity between the way we perceive the world, including our own experience in it, and the way things actually are." We explore how similar understandings of a core human ignorance are found in Plato, Christian and Islamic traditions, and in later Buddhist traditions. The Buddha said, in particular, that we are ignorant about impermanence, dukkha (or reactivity), and the nature of the self. We look into some of the main habitual constructions of experience, including a sense of permanent, stable, separate external objects, and a sense of a separate, independent self, pointing to ways of exploring such constructions meditatively. We also point to experiences in which we go beyond such constructions, in meditation and also in "flow" experiences. The talk is followed by discussion.

Di Westaway is the founder of Coastrek and Wild Women on Top, and she has had the most fabulous career building up these businesses - topped off with many well-deserved accolades like an Order of Australia medal for services to women's health, fitness and charity services. It was so much fun to chat with Di about how her impulsive decision to attempt to climb South America's highest peak, Mount Aconcagua, even when she'd never done anything remotely like it before, set off a chain reaction leading to decades of fascinating travels and influencing and inspiring countless people to look after themselves more and take on new challenges. During our chat we move from the "big fail" of Mount Aconcagua through some other favourite hiking trips around the world, Di's world record for the highest handstand, a scary night on Mount Rinjani in Indonesia (and a story she said she's never told anyone publicly!!!), and through to the success of Coastrek today in getting thousands of people out there hiking the most beautiful parts of Australia and raising millions of dollars for worthwhile charities like Beyond Blue and the Fred Hollows Foundation.

Father encourages us to go beyond the minimum in our lives.

In this week's episode of Not Alone, Valeria sits down with model, entrepreneur, and content creator Emily DiDonato to explore the joy of trying new things, no matter how imperfectly. Emily shares the story of being discovered at a mall as a teenager, stepping into a whirlwind modeling career, and eventually finding her creative spark in content creation. We dive into how Emily channels any flickers of comparison into motivation, why she's never been competitive or jealous, and how motherhood has redefined her version of “balance” (hint: there isn't any!). Emily opens up about the weekly “admin meetings” she and her husband use to keep their busy lives in sync, and why she believes there's magic in being a beginner. From career pivots to personal growth, Emily's philosophy is simple yet powerful: it's fun to try, it's fun to fail, and the learning process is where the real reward lies. This episode will leave you feeling braver about starting, more forgiving of the messy middle, and reminded that the courage to try, again and again, is what truly shapes a fulfilled life.

This week on the Beyond Sunday podcast, Josh Hensley welcomes the “dream team” — Alicia Lancaster, Justin Eshenbaugh, and Michael Shearon — for a fun and thought-provoking mix of laughs, food debates, and serious faith discussion. They kick things off with the game Essential Truth or Personal Preference, weighing in on everything from pineapple on pizza and ketchup on steak to flip-flops in the pulpit. The conversation then shifts to Justin's sermon from Romans 14, unpacking how to navigate disagreements in the church. The team discusses knowing the difference between core biblical truths and personal convictions, yielding sacrificially to protect unity, and correcting humbly with love and relationship. Real-life examples from ministry and family life make the principles practical. They also preview upcoming events, including Steve Buttram's message on community, Friend Day with lakeside baptisms, and the women's Going Beyond simulcast with Priscilla Shirer.

God is a second mile God — and He's raising up a second mile church. In this message, Pastor Marcus unpacks what it means to go beyond what's expected, just like Jacob, Joseph, and Rebekah.When others mistreat you… when life feels unfair… God sees your faithfulness. And He blesses those who go further when no one's watching. Don't settle for average. The first mile is law — the second mile is love.

  It's no secret that everyone has experienced anxiety at some point or another. For some, it's surmountable, but for others it may be severe enough to interfere with their quality of life. For Daniel Packard, it was a personal battle with the severe variety that inspired him to create Permanent Anxiety Solutions, an innovative program that addresses anxiety at the root—-the nervous system.    This week on The Unbeatable Mind, Mark Divine sits down with Daniel to dive into Daniel's story of overcoming people-pleasing, anxiety, and perfectionism, and the discoveries he made while developing his program. Daniel reveals that these issues all have a shared root in fear and an unhealthy nervous system, and provides insights on how daily, practical care of the nervous system can lead to lasting change.    Daniel and Mark expose the shortcomings of the trillion dollar “improvement industrial complex”, and explain why most personal development programs fail to deliver permanent results. Lastly, Daniel details his latest work in bringing his solutions to communities and schools, emphasizing his goal to revolutionize mental health and personal growth.    Key Takeaways:  The Hidden Epidemic of Improvement: Discover how the self-improvement and therapy industry is a trillion dollar industry designed to only manage symptoms—and only rarely do they solve the underlying problem.  Take Care of The Body & The Mind Will Follow: Uncover how when the body's nervous system feels safe, the mind quiets, the heart opens, and calm confidence emerges. You're Not Broken: Realize that those that have struggled with anxiety issues are not fundamentally broken. The problem is a lack of education about nervous system health.  Permanent Change Is Possible: Discover that permanent solutions to anxiety do not require complex interventions; rather simple, systematic changes done consistently.    Daniel Packard is a U.C Berkeley Mechanical Engineer and founder of Permanent Anxiety Solutions. He spent eight years and $1.2 million developing a program to address anxiety, focusing on measurable results and a unique payment structure where clients only pay upon achieving clear, measurable results. Packard's background includes engineering and inventing, inspired by his father, a scientist and inventor. He has also explored the world of football, coaching at multiple colleges     Daniel's Links:  Website: https://www.danielpackard.com/  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/daniel-packard-02b312215/  Instagram:https://www.instagram.com/danielpackard/?hl=en  Youtube:https://www.youtube.com/user/danielpackard  X: https://x.com/danielpackard  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/danielpackardpublic/    Sponsors and Promotions:   Qualia: To feel in your prime WAY longer than you ever thought possible, try Qualia Senolytic up to 50% off right now at neurohacker.com/md15, and code MD15 at checkout will score you an additional 15% off.   Indeed: Listeners of this show will get a SEVENTY-FIVE DOLLAR SPONSORED JOB CREDIT to get your jobs more visibility at Indeed.com/Divine.   Fair Harbour: Head to FairHarborClothing.com/DIVINE and use code DIVINE for 20% off your first purchase.

In this episode, we delve into the grief experiences of children and teens with autism. Our guest, Jennifer Wiles, M.A., LMHC, BC-DMT, FT - Director of the HEARTplay Program and a dance movement therapist with decades of experience - joins us to discuss how children with autism process grief and how parents and others in their lives can support them. Drawing on her background in both nonverbal forms of expression and grief support, Jennifer shares compassionate, practical insights rooted in her work with families. This conversation is both timely and essential, especially during Autism Acceptance Month, as it highlights the importance of expanding how we understand and support grief beyond more traditional approaches rooted in words.  We discuss:   The importance of using direct, concrete language when talking about death  Common misconceptions about how kids with autism express grief  Why behaviors often interpreted as indifference may be expressions of deep emotion  How sensory overload and disrupted routines can intensify grief reactions  The powerful role of nonverbal communication—movement, gesture, rhythm, and ritual—in grief expression  How social stories and structured activities can prepare kids for events like funerals  Grief rituals for significant days like anniversaries and birthdays  The impact of other losses, including changes in routine, missed milestones, and the death of service animals  Resources mentioned:  Toolkit from the National Alliance for Children's Grief (NACG): A resource for supporting children of all abilities who are grieving Books:  I Have a Question About... series by Meredith Polsky & Arlen Gaines  Understanding Death and Illness and What They Teach About Life by Catherine Faherty  A Kids Book About Grief by Brennan Wood  HEARTplay Program: Free downloadable social stories and grief support  Have feedback or a story to share?
