I'm so thrilled to have Dr. Kelly Flanagan back on the show. Today he is talking about his newest book The Road Less Triggered, focusing on the importance of recognizing and managing emotional triggers in relationships. The work of faith, self awareness, and compassion is vital in our relationships. Dr. Flanagan shares how to stay engaged, remain soft, and practically manage conflict in a way that brings connection to your marriage. Episode Highlights: Understanding Triggered Moments in Relationships Your body is an early warning system Living in the security of God's unconditional love provides a foundation of safety. The posture of your heart affects how you receive communication. Quotes from This Episode: Most relationship conflict isn't like D-Day—it's more like Groundhog Day. We keep repeating the same patterns until we decide to break the cycle. The heart of this work is restoring a sense of choice—the power to keep your heart open, even when you're triggered and it feels impossible. A response is the fruit of self-regulation. A reaction is a failure of self-regulation. You can't connect if you're protecting. Openness is required for real connection. Our culture pushes us to blame others, but real progress comes from taking personal responsibility for how we show up. Until we move out of being triggered and back into connection mode, we'll keep self-sabotaging every attempt to connect. Becoming a safe environment for the people you love inspires them to open their own hearts—and builds true connection. Seeing the ways we differ as sources of complementary wisdom, not flaws to be fixed, can revolutionize your relationship. Questions for Conversation: Think about a recent moment in your marriage where you felt triggered. What physical or emotional signals did your body give you, and how might noticing these earlier help you respond rather than react? Consider a way your spouse differs from you that has caused tension. How could reframing that difference as complementary wisdom rather than a flaw shift your approach and deepen your connection? TRIGGER CHALLENGE: Together, identify one habit or action that makes each of you feel safe and heard. Commit to practicing that habit in your interactions over the next week, then reflect on how it affected your connection.

Wendy S. Meadows is a seasoned family law attorney, former litigator and certified life coach. She is also a mediator and the author of the best-selling book, sparkle & GRIT, a framework that helps high-achieving women break free from burnout and live on purpose. Before expanding into coaching, Wendy spent decades practicing family law, guiding clients through some of life's most challenging transitions—all while quietly wrestling with her own feelings of overwhelm and disconnection.When two colleagues passed away within months of each other, Wendy was struck by how differently their lives were remembered—one obituary focused solely on legal accolades, the other celebrated a life of depth and meaning. Soon after, the sudden loss of her stepfather made it clear: She didn't want her legacy to be just about work. That realization sparked a shift. Wendy went solo so she could create space to figure out what truly mattered, away from the grind and expectations of traditional practice. She eventually stepped away from litigation, embraced mediation and began building a life and career rooted in alignment, purpose and presence.Today, Wendy helps women who've “checked all the boxes” but still feel stuck. She blends practical strategies with compassionate mindset work to help them reboot their habits, re-ignite their purpose and build lives that actually fit. She also works closely with lawyers— especially those ready to go solo or restructure their practices—offering strategic coaching, systems consulting and speaking engagements for law firms looking to prevent burnout, increase retention and foster sustainable success. Her book, sparkle & GRIT: Live a Technicolor Life by Finally Finding Balance, Escaping Monotony and Beating Burnout, offers a roadmap out of the autopilot “Groundhog Day” cycle that often accompanies high-achieving careers.

The wired-but-tired feeling is incredibly common, especially for women, and it's one of the most frustrating places to be. You want energy during the day. You want sleep at night. But instead, it feels like your body is doing the exact opposite of what it should. In this episode, I'm breaking down what's actually happening behind the scenes when you feel wired but tired and why pushing harder, drinking more coffee, or just "trying to relax" usually makes things worse. When I see this pattern, it almost always points back to dysfunction in the HPA axis, which controls your adrenal function and cortisol output. A lot of women call this adrenal fatigue or adrenal insufficiency. Here's the key thing most people miss: You can feel exhausted and overstimulated at the same time. This often happens when: Your adrenal output is low, so you don't have sustained energy Your free cortisol is elevated, because life is stressful and you're constantly in reaction mode You're running on adrenaline instead of real energy That's why you may feel okay only when there's a fire to put out, then crash hard afterward. Cortisol can be measured through saliva or urine, but a single snapshot doesn't tell the whole story. This is where DUTCH testing is so powerful: It shows free cortisol across the entire day, not just one moment It shows metabolized cortisol, which saliva testing cannot measure It reveals whether your body is producing cortisol, using it properly, or struggling to keep up What I see over and over again with wired-but-tired women is low adrenal function paired with high free cortisol. You're stressed, busy, and carrying a lot, but your system no longer has the reserves to support it. This pattern doesn't just affect energy. It can disrupt: Sleep cycles and nighttime rest Hormone regulation Muscle recovery and rebuilding Immune function Mood, focus, and motivation This is why advice like "just eat healthier," "go to yoga," or "push through it" doesn't work. Those approaches don't address the root issue. The first step is understanding what your body is actually doing. That's why I rely so heavily on DUTCH testing. It gives us a clear roadmap instead of guessing. From there, we can build the right plan for you, whether that means: Supporting protein and mineral intake Repairing sleep and circadian rhythms Addressing stress physiology in a way your body can actually respond to Rebuilding adrenal resilience instead of draining it further If you're stuck in that Groundhog Day cycle of exhaustion and overstimulation, this is your sign to stop guessing and start testing.

End-of-year energy has everyone saying they're “protecting their peace,” but this episode asks the sharper question: what piece are people actually protecting? Peace of mind, a piece of clout, a baddie era, or something more?This episode breaks down the contradiction of claiming peace while starting beef, soft-launching new personalities, and redefining confidence online — including the internet debate over whether men can be baddies.The conversation zooms out to global politics with a clear, accessible breakdown of the Venezuela crisis: how the country got here, what's happening now, and why it feels like political Groundhog Day, with a brief Iraq-era parallel.We also unpack internet culture's cycle of selective outrage, where new villains and victims are crowned weekly depending on gender, looks, popularity, and bias.The episode closes with the Anthony Joshua situation and what it reveals about modern journalism, media framing, and why protecting your piece of the truth matters.Protect your peace if you must —but don't forget to protect your piece.Total Runtime: 1:26:000:00 — Music intro1:05 — Welcome to The Sidebar Podcast2:30 — Holiday check-in + end-of-year energy6:10 — “Protecting your peace”… while starting beef11:45 — Soft-launching new personalities16:20 — Can men be “baddies”?

Sam and I walk through training and nutrition audits: how to know if you're under-training but over-exercising, burning your willpower on the wrong stuff, and what to simplify so 2026 finally stops feeling like Groundhog Day.we talk about moving from punishment to performance: fuelling for training, chasing strength PBs, and letting fat loss be a by-product instead of your whole personality. Especially powerful if you've never really felt what it's like to lift well-fuelled and strong.no more getting back on tracks.. no more falling offs in the first place. It's about expanding; your strength, your capacity, your confidence. Sam and I explore theme-based goals, approach-focused living (“what can I add?”), and why tracking the right things (training, steps, practice) matters more than obsessing over the scale.

Imagine an AI that doesn't just output answers — it remembers, adapts, and reasons over time like a living system. In this episode of The Neuron, Corey Noles and Grant Harvey sit down with Zuzanna Stamirowska, CEO & Cofounder of Pathway, to break down the world's first post-Transformer frontier model: BDH — the Dragon Hatchling architecture.Zuzanna explains why current language models are stuck in a “Groundhog Day” loop — waking up with no memory — and how Pathway's architecture introduces true temporal reasoning and continual learning. We explore:• Why Transformers lack real memory and time awareness • How BDH uses brain-like neurons, synapses, and emergent structure • How models can “get bored,” adapt, and strengthen connections • Why Pathway sees reasoning — not language — as the core of intelligence • How BDH enables infinite context, live learning, and interpretability • Why gluing two trained models together actually works in BDH • The path to AGI through generalization, not scaling • Real-world early adopters (Formula 1, NATO, French Postal Service) • Safety, reversibility, checkpointing, and building predictable behavior • Why this architecture could power the next era of scientific innovationFrom brain-inspired message passing to emergent neural structures that literally appear during training, this is one of the most ambitious rethinks of AI architecture since Transformers themselves.If you want a window into what comes after LLMs, this interview is essential.Subscribe to The Neuron newsletter for more interviews with the leaders shaping the future of work and AI: https://theneuron.ai

The healthiest thing for Rob and Patrick—psychologically, spiritually—probably would have been for the Bears to narrowly miss the playoffs. Enter 2026 with a clean slate.

After a campaign built on the promise that Trump was going to look out for his voters, he started his administration getting sidetracked by DOGE and Musk's phony ideas about saving money. After that petered out, he got distracted by his need to put his name all over the place. In the process, he's totally forgotten to help his people—or even fake trying to help them.

THE QUINTESSENTIAL TIME-LOOP MOVIE!! Groundhog Day Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Download PrizePicks today at https://www.prizepicks.onelink.me/LME... & use code REJECTS to get $50 instantly when you play $5! Gift Someone (Or Yourself) An RR Tee! https://shorturl.at/hekk2 With the holiday season in full swing, Tara & Aaron RETURN To give their Groundhog Day Reaction, Recap, Analysis, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review!! Tara Erickson & Aaron Alexander react to Groundhog Day (1993)_, the beloved romantic comedy–fantasy classic directed by Harold Ramis (Caddyshack, Ghostbusters) that turned a high-concept time-loop into one of the most thoughtful and endlessly rewatchable films of all time. Set in the small town of Punxsutawney, Pennsylvania, the movie follows arrogant TV weatherman Phil Connors, played by Bill Murray (Ghostbusters, Lost in Translation), whose routine assignment covering Groundhog Day takes a surreal turn when he finds himself reliving the same day over and over again. As Phil becomes trapped in the time loop, the film charts his journey from sarcasm and self-indulgence to despair, reinvention, and ultimately empathy. Andie MacDowell (Four Weddings and a Funeral, Sex, Lies, and Videotape) stars as Rita Hanson, Phil's producer and moral compass, whose kindness and integrity become the measuring stick for Phil's personal growth. The cast is rounded out by Chris Elliott (Schitt's Creek, There's Something About Mary) as the endlessly enthusiastic cameraman Larry, whose optimism contrasts hilariously with Phil's growing frustration. Iconic moments include Phil's first realization that time is looping, his repeated wake-up to “I Got You Babe”, the escalating montage of failed escapes and reckless experiments, the poignant piano-and-ice-sculpture redemption arc, and the film's quietly romantic finale that redefines what it means to truly change. Balancing sharp comedy with existential reflection, Groundhog Day remains a timeless story about second chances, self-improvement, and learning how to live a meaningful life — even if it takes forever.

Keen to chat to our team about building a $1M dream business and life? Go here: https://bit.ly/4kZSlya Want to LEARN proven systems to grow your business without burnout? Go here: https://bit.ly/44XoX5w If I opened your week right now, would I see a coach chained to the field from dawn till dark, or a leader who's built a business that runs without them? Because here's the truth: staying on the pitch for every single session is the fastest way to cap your impact, your income and your time with the people you actually care about. Hayden was running 50 sessions a week, squeezing admin in from 7pm till midnight, and barely present with Sel and the kids… until something had to give. In this episode, we're unpacking exactly how Hayden and Sel turned All Things Football from a COVID side hustle into a 350-kid confidence factory, with a growing team, systems that run the show, and a vision for 1000 kids and a month in Croatia where the business doesn't miss a beat. Here's what we're covering: -The reality of running 50 sessions a week and still feeling like you're failing at home -How Hayden went from Young Socceroos and the A-League to coaching confidence-first football for kids -Why “we build confidence, not just soccer skills” became the core offer (and why parents loved it) -The 5-star session framework and coaches playbook that finally got Hayden off the field -How they hired and grew a team of coaches parents adore, without dropping standards -What changed when they picked a clear avatar and stopped trying to be “for everyone” -How they hit their 5-year member goal in 6 months by doing less, not more -The new target: 1000 kids, stronger systems and a business that passes the “Croatia holiday” test -What this means for you if you're still chained to the floor, field or reformer… … and a whole lot more Don't forget to like, subscribe, and comment below with your biggest takeaway.

Norm tips the cap to Cooper Flagg turning 19 and casually dropping 40 in the NBA—then immediately pivots to something far less impressive: the Dallas Cowboys doing the exact same thing again.If this season feels familiar, that's because it is. Early points, a brief lead, then the defense opens the floodgates while the offense stalls out like it hit an invisible wall. Norm walks through the Chargers loss, the Vikings loss, the Lions loss—pick a week, it's the same movie with a different jersey color.The numbers are brutal: 112 points allowed in three weeks, one sack, five punts forced, and a defense threatening to challenge 1960 for the worst in franchise history. Yet the reflex response still seems to be “fire the coordinator and move on,” rather than confronting the uncomfortable truth that a lot of these players simply aren't good enough.Norm asks the question no one in the front office seems eager to answer: does Jerry Jones actually understand how mediocre this team is—or are we about to spin the coordinator wheel one more time and hope for a miracle?CHAPTERS00:00:00 – Happy Birthday, Cooper Flagg (And Welcome Back to Cowboys Reality)00:00:41 – Fluent Financial Sponsor Read00:01:45 – Cowboys Groundhog Day: Same Game, Same Ending00:02:36 – 6–8–1 and Stuck in the Middle of the Draft Again00:03:18 – “It's the Scheme” vs. “It Might Be the Players”00:03:56 – McCarthy Gone, Zimmer Gone, Schottenheimer Here… Same Results00:04:39 – Chargers Game Recap: Fast Start, Zero Finish00:05:33 – Three-Week Stretch of Defensive Horror00:06:29 – One Sack, Five Punts, and 20 Opponent Scores00:07:11 – No Pressure on Goff, McCarthy, or Herbert00:08:03 – Diggs Back, Revel Struggling, and No Answers00:09:01 – Chargers' Backup Offensive Line Still Runs Wild00:09:57 – Defensive Box Score: Who Showed Up… and Who Didn't00:10:37 – How Many New Starters Does This Defense Need?00:11:01 – Bob's Steak & Chop House Sponsor Read00:12:01 – Full Moon Healing Balm Sponsor Read00:12:57 – Sponsor Close00:13:19 – Follow, Share, and Keep Wondering00:14:00 – Stolen Water Media Sign-Off Check us out: patreon.com/sunsetloungedfwInstagram: sunsetloungedfwTiktok: sunsetloungedfwX: SunsetLoungeDFWFB: Sunset Lounge DFW

VYS0055 | Merry ChristMups! - The Muppet Christmas Carol - Vayse to Face with Phil Ristaino: Saturnalia 2025 - Show Notes God help us, every one! 'Tis the season of good will to all creatures and, even better, that jolly old elf, Phil Ristaino, returns to Vayse after an absence of only 4 episodes for an urgent meeting about the Muppet Christmas Carol, a film which he had never seen before researching for the episode! With Phil's help and encouragement Hine and Buckley joyously delve into a film which has been a Vayse favourite for over 3 decades, discussing the sad and sudden demise of the genius that was Jim Henson, the connections between the muppets and spirituality, why the Muppet Christmas Carol is one of the best Christmas movies, if not one of the best movies ever made, how the spirit of Jim Henson visited his successor to the voice of Kermit... and how the Muppets got the best performance of his career out of Michael Caine (recorded 4 December 2025).

Send us a textIs America's Ground Hog Day rooted in Irish Mythology? Could Irish and Scottish Immigrants have evolved a very celtic day that determines if winter will be long or short?In Irish mythology Cailleach rules winter and Brigid who rules spring. The Cailleach is a powerful, ancient Celtic goddess of winter, creation, and sovereignty, known as the "Veiled One," who shaped the landscape (mountains, valleys) with rocks from her apron and controls the harshness of winter, appearing as a fearsome old crone or hag, often with one eye, associated with storms, horned animals, and the cycle of life and death, ruling between Samhain (Halloween) and Beltaine/Imbolc. Brigid is a powerful Celtic goddess, daughter of the Dagda, revered as a triple goddess of poetry, healing, and smithcraft, associated with fire, spring, fertility, and water.Support the showIrish Mythology - Mythical Cycle - Book of Invasions

Syracuse basketball's 70-69 loss to Hofstra was inexcusable. But so was the officiating in that game. As Brent Axe describes in a live edition of Syracuse Sports, both things things can be true and were factors in the loss at the JMA Dome on Saturday night. Axe also comes back to the Groundhog Day topic of SU's poor free-throw shooting (which is literally the worst in Division I basketball at 56.8%) being an achilles heel that will cost SU more games if it doesn't improve. Axe also reacts to soundbites from Adrian Autry, Kiyan Anthony, JJ Starling and more pus checks in with Syracuse Sports Insiders to get their take on the loss.

If next year were a movie, what kind of film would it be? Action? Adventure? Redemption? A rom-com with questionable decisions and a killer soundtrack? Whatever it is — here's the truth: no magical hand is writing it for you. You get to take the damn pen. You're the writer, the director, and the lead. In this follow-up to The Hero's Journey, April hands you the director's chair for your own life. Too many leaders and entrepreneurs drift into another year by default — replaying the same story, following the same plot, repeating the same dialogue. But what if 2025 wasn't a sequel? What if you wrote something entirely new? In this episode, April challenges you to choose your genre, claim your pen, and direct a story that actually excites you. Because your life isn't a rerun — it's a production in progress. Key Takeaways 1️⃣ You Are the Director of Your Story No one else gets to decide the tone, the plot, or the outcome. You hold the pen. 2️⃣ Drift vs. Direction Most of us live other people's priorities — reacting instead of creating. 2025 doesn't have to be a rerun; it can be your reboot. 3️⃣ The Coaching Call that Sparked It During a group session, April asked: "If next year were a movie, what would it be?" William said The Greatest Showman — bold moves, bigger stages. Daniel said The Pursuit of Happyness — grit and purpose over glamour. Katrina said The Wizard of Oz — the journey home to her own power. Each one picked a story that matched their growth season. 4️⃣ The Plot Twist for You So, what's your movie? Action — courage to leap into what you've delayed. Redemption — rebuilding after loss or burnout. Release — letting go of control, perfectionism, or old identities. Rated R for real life — raw, unfiltered, fully alive. 5️⃣ April's Reminder You're not behind — you're just busy filming the wrong movie. If last year was Groundhog Day, make this year The Great Escape. If last year was Cast Away, make this one Homecoming. Quotes "No producer is coming to save your script — you already hold the pen." "You're not behind; you're just stuck in the wrong movie." "If last year was a sequel, this year can be your reboot." "You don't need permission to start — just courage to claim the pen." Challenge for Pivoters Take ten quiet minutes this week — no phone, no noise. Write the title of your 2025 movie. Ask yourself:
In this episode, Jennifer Hadley uncovers why the same painful situations keep showing up in your life like a spiritual Groundhog Day. She reveals a counterintuitive truth hidden in ACIM Chapter 2 about what's really blocking your blessings and shares the deceptively simple practice that broke her own "Twilight Zone" of repetitive pain.

Dr. Steve Mancini: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-steve-m-b59a525/Marco Ciappelli: https://www.marcociappelli.com/Nothing Has Changed in Cybersecurity Since War Games — And That's Why We're in Trouble"Nothing has changed."That's not what you expect to hear from someone with four decades in cybersecurity. The industry thrives on selling the next revolution, the newest threat, the latest solution. But Dr. Steve Mancini—cybersecurity professor, Homeland Security veteran, and Italy's Honorary Consul in Pittsburgh—wasn't buying any of it. And honestly? Neither was I.He took me back to his Commodore 64 days, writing basic war dialers after watching War Games. The method? Dial numbers, find an open line, try passwords until one works. Translate that to today: run an Nmap scan, find an open port, brute force your way in. The principle is identical. Only the speed has changed.This resonated deeply with how I think about our Hybrid Analog Digital Society. We're so consumed with the digital evolution—the folding screens, the AI assistants, the cloud computing—that we forget the human vulnerabilities underneath remain stubbornly analog. Social engineering worked in the 1930s, it worked when I was a kid in Florence, and it works today in your inbox.Steve shared a story about a family member who received a scam call. The caller asked if their social security number "had a six in it." A one-in-nine guess. Yet that simple psychological trick led to remote software being installed on their computer. Technology gets smarter; human psychology stays the same.What struck me most was his observation about his students—a generation so immersed in technology that they've become numb to breaches. "So what?" has become the default response. The data sells, the breaches happen, you get two years of free credit monitoring, and life goes on. Groundhog Day.But the deeper concern isn't the breaches. It's what this technological immersion is doing to our capacity for critical thinking, for human instinct. Steve pointed out something that should unsettle us: the algorithms feeding content to young minds are designed for addiction, manipulating brain chemistry with endorphin kicks from endless scrolling. We won't know the full effects of a generation raised on smartphones until they're forty, having scrolled through social media for thirty years.I asked what we can do. His answer was simple but profound: humans need to decide how much they want technology in their lives. Parents putting smartphones in six-year-olds' hands might want to reconsider. Schools clinging to the idea that they're "teaching technology" miss the point—students already know the apps better than their professors. What they don't know is how to think without them.He's gone back to paper and pencil tests. Old school. Because when the power goes out—literally or metaphorically—you need a brain that works independently.Ancient cultures, Steve reminded me, built civilizations with nothing but their minds, parchment, and each other. They were, in many ways, a thousand times smarter than us because they had no crutches. Now we call our smartphones "smart" while they make us incrementally dumber.This isn't anti-technology doom-saying. Neither Steve nor I oppose technological progress. The conversation acknowledged AI's genuine benefits in medicine, in solving specific problems. But this relentless push for the "easy button"—the promise that you don't have to think, just click—that's where we lose something essential.The ultimate breach, we concluded, isn't someone stealing your data. It's breaching the mind itself. When we can no longer think, reason, or function without the device in our pocket, the hackers have already won—and they didn't need to write a single line of code.Subscribe to the Redefining Society and Technology podcast.

How often are you interrupted in your property management business? Tenant and owner phone calls, emails, maintenance requests, team member questions… it's an endless cycle of wasted time and stolen profits. In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, property management growth experts Jason and Sarah Hull discuss the hidden thief in every property management business: the Interruption Burglar. You'll Learn [01:23] The Burglar Stealing From Your Business [07:41] Becoming Aware of Your Company's Time Loss [13:20] If Your Business Isn't Growing, It is Dying Quotables "There's a burglar that lives inside everybody's business." "One interruption is going to cost you somewhere between 15 minutes and 30 minutes of wasted labor." "All it takes is questions to make you conscious of things you're unconscious of currently." Resources DoorGrow and Scale Mastermind DoorGrow Academy DoorGrow on YouTube DoorGrowClub DoorGrowLive Transcript Jason Hull (00:00) Nobody can even see this guy running around stealing until we do some of these exercises with our clients. And then they start to become conscious and they can now see this interruption burglar sneaking around, stealing money, stealing profits, wasting everybody's time. Welcome everybody. We are Jason and Sarah Hull the owners of DoorGrow, the world's leading and most comprehensive coaching and consulting firm for long-term residential property management entrepreneurs. For over a decade and a half, we have brought innovative strategies and optimization to the property management industry. At DoorGrow, we have spoken to thousands of property management business owners, coached, consulted, and cleaned up hundreds of businesses, helping them add doors. improve pricing, increase profit, simplify operations, and we run the leading property management mastermind with more video testimonials and reviews than any other coach or consultant in the industry. We are the best in the world. And at DoorGrow, we believe that good property managers can change the world and that property management is the ultimate high trust gateway to relationships, real estate deals, and residual income. And our mission at DoorGrow. is to transform property management business owners and their businesses. We want to transform the industry, eliminate the BS, build awareness, change perception, expand the market, and help the best property management entrepreneurs win. Now, let's get into the show. All right, so today, Sarah and I thought we would chat about, she said, you've been wanting to talk about this for a little while. So we're going to be chatting about what? Interruption. All right, specifically, the interruption burglar. So maybe I'm dating myself a little bit, but I don't know if you remember the Hamburglar. I do. McDonald's, okay, all right, that's good. so for those of you listening, maybe you remember like McDonald's had the Hamburglar and he was this sneaky, creepy guy going around stealing people's cheeseburgers, right? And there's another burglar. There's a burglar that lives inside everybody's business. and it's the interruption burglar. And the interruption burglar is stealing your money by interrupting. And so every interruption in a business is a hidden thief stealing from your business. And most business owners give a blank check out to every tenant and owner that they bring on that says, call me whenever you want to, interrupt me whenever you want to, steal all my profits. And a lot of property managers think they have to talk to everybody and that's what they're paid to do. And so they have to always be available. So we're going to kind of throw a wrench into that sort of level of thinking because we've talked to lot of clients get out of the trap of lacking profit, lacking margin by helping them escape or eliminate or tear up this blank check and eliminate the interruption burglar, or at least put some guardrails around that guy. so according to Gary Keller's book, The One Thing, it cites a study saying that one interruption costs 18 minutes of productivity. Dan Martel's book about time management says I think it's like 26 minutes of productivity. So I don't know if we're just that much worse when we get interrupted now. But basically One interruption is going to cost you somewhere between 15 minutes and 30 minutes of wasted labor. Why? Because when we get interrupted, if we're in the flow or we're working on things and we're being productive as a team member or as a CEO or COO or whatever our role is, we get interrupted. We then have to rebuild that house of cards that we were in the middle of working on, figure out where was I, what was I working on, you know, kind of reestablish our thinking, get back into the groove of what we were trying to accomplish, what we were working on, especially when we're trying to get into deep work where things get really productive and effective. And so one interruption, if it happens every 20 minutes or so, which in a property management business is not hard to do, you may find you feel like you're just spinning your wheels or your team members are working and busy all day long, but they're not actually producing a whole lot of output. And so this can be very expensive in a property management business. Not only that, but usually a lot of times the interruptions are internal. So you ever heard of sneaker net? Like somebody walks into your office, it's the most inefficient network ever, and then you're like, hey, do you got a minute? Or I have this question, and maybe you're the person they're all coming to ask questions to because you're the boss, and they're interrupting you all the time. And so then you're like, well, getting interrupted. And now you've got two people. One's interrupting the other and you're wasting a lot of labor. And then we set up scenarios in which one person has the ability to interrupt multiple people in the business. This is where we set up Slack channels and other stupid communication methodologies that people think is more productive, where there's one too many communication, which becomes one too many interruptions. So one interruption, instead of costing you like maybe 15, 20 minutes of labor or a half hour of labor, It can quadruple. It can be 10 people at a time. It can be really expensive. And then, you know, sometimes, you know, one's interrupting the other. So you've got it's doubling. You know, people are just wasting your time and money. And so it's really easy for you to lose all of your profits and all your margins to staff through interruptions and a lack of productivity. And we see people get stuck at small door counts on a per person basis. They're like, I can only manage 50 units by myself, or a property manager with a whole team, I can only manage 100 units. And a lot of people think, well, that's pretty good, but it's not. Sarah managed 265 at her peak, basically by herself. Eventually had one part-time person. I had one part-time person. Yeah, eventually. was part-time, but between us we You weren't even a full-time equivalent. Yeah, and that's because you had eliminated a lot of interruptions because you just didn't want to deal with them. And you set really good boundaries. Well, yeah, which was to not be interrupted. Yeah. So cool. So that's the interruption burglar. This is one of the things we help clients figure out. We help them figure out how do we eliminate the interruptions? How do we create better, healthier, more effective communication systems Sometimes your clients do this. Sometimes your team members do it. Yeah. We've got to be able to separate ourselves where we can and reduce or completely eliminate interruptions. Yeah. That's the goal. So we have methodologies that we take our clients through to, one, identify their own interruptions, the things that are interrupting them. And then we have a process for taking their team through a process so that they become conscious of the interruptions so that they can, everybody in the business can start to protect the business from this interruption burglar because interruption burglar, sneaky. Nobody can even see this guy running around stealing until we do some of these exercises with our clients. And then they start to become conscious and they can now see this interruption burglar sneaking around, stealing money, stealing profits, wasting everybody's time. And nobody likes the interruptions anyway. So by reducing them, everybody's happier. Even the people that are interrupting you, like tenants and owners are happier and less anxious. If you set better guardrails, better expectations, better boundaries, they actually can trust you more to do the job instead of feeling like they need to micromanage the person that's managing their rental property, which is ridiculous. Why don't they just cut you out if they're going to micromanage something, right? So yeah, they don't need to do that. Okay. I don't know what else we need to say about this, but. Well, one of the things that I had created recently within the last two months was a time optimization assessment that you can go through and take and you can do it every day. Kind of get a grade and a score and see what went well and what didn't go so well and then it will help you figure out what can you optimize and what can you change and You can do that even Right now so if you would like to get access to that it's a longer link So it's not like I can just give you the URL to it So I would say the easiest way to get it if you would like access to it is just email me and Sarah doorgrow.com s-a-r-a-h at doorgrow.com So if you'd like that I would be very happy to send you the link and you can use that as long as you would like but you'll essentially go through answer a couple of questions and then it will email you your results and your score so it will tell you overall you know what were the things that didn't go so well and Oftentimes when you're filling a report out like this at the end of the day It just makes you very conscious of it because sometimes our days tend to get away from us and they wonder then at the end of the day, man, how did that happen? I didn't get to that thing that I really wanted to do. Man, I was busy all day long, but I just don't feel like I was very productive or I don't feel like I got to the things that I wanted to get to. Well, this will help you while you're answering these questions. It'll just point to a few things that you can optimize. And sometimes I've tested this out with our clients a few times too. go, ⁓ as they're taking this assessment and just answering the questions, they're going, well, I can already tell what kind of day this was. This was not good. This was not good. This was not good. And then the good news is just by taking that assessment, you have a better idea of how to approach things and hopefully a better plan for the following day. Sometimes all it takes is questions to make you conscious of things you're unconscious of currently. And when we're unconscious of the interruption burglar, he gets away with murder. Like he's just stealing your money. So we've got to stop that guy. All right. So we've got a sponsor. So let me share that with everybody real quick. We appreciate our sponsors. So our sponsor today is Blanket. And Blanket is a property retention and growth platform that helps property managers stop losing doors, add more revenue and increase the number of properties they manage. Wow, your clients with a branded investor dashboard and an off market marketplace, while your team gets all the tools they need to identify owners at risk of churning and powerful systems to help you add more doors. And so it helps you retain the doors, even if your clients sell or leave. You can keep the the units, it's really a cool system. I recommend everybody uses it. And we coach and recommend our clients use it. I think it's a great system. So. For sure. All right. I think also we had just had our clients go through a time optimization challenge. We did. Using some of the things that we talk about in the program, some of the components that we coach on and some of the things that you will see in that time optimization assessment. Not all of the things, but. Some of the things in the assessment are on there and then of course there's a lot more. So what we've noticed and what a lot of people had noticed when they went through that assessment and that challenge is, wow, there is a lot of time in the business that just gets eaten up by different things and it's not hard at all to get lost. It's not hard to kind of get consumed by the day to day. It's not hard to get lost in all of the tasks that are required by a property management company. And this really goes for you and it goes for your team. Because just looking at every person's time on the team can be really, really helpful. One person might be wildly efficient. And if that person that's efficient is, let's say, the business owner, the business owner might. assume then, well, everybody on my team is really efficient because I'm really efficient. And that may not be the case. So our goal is to help you figure out, you know, who is efficient and who is using their time wisely and perhaps who is not. So that way we can figure out what are the things that we can shift? What are the things that we can change? And oftentimes it's not even really hard to change. you know what you're doing or how you're doing it. It is different and it can sometimes feel uncomfortable because you just have to do things differently. And I think in the world of property management and especially how things are running today is everyone assumes that you need to just be responding to everything immediately and be on top of everything and be super communicative with everybody. That's not always the case. That may not get you the best results. So it can create a lot of work. But being busy and being productive are two very different things. So it's our goal always to help property managers figure out what can I do to actually be more productive? And how can I make sure that somebody on the team is always having time to focus on the income generating activities? Because if you are not focusing on growth in the business, it is slowly dying. So if there's no one who's focused on growth or if there's one person who's just a little bit, it's like, well, I do it for, you know, five hours a week when I can. And when I'm not busy doing all of these other things, what's happening is we just get stuck on this hamster wheel where it's kind of like Groundhog Day. You wake up. You do things, you make no progress. You think, I'll do it again tomorrow. You wake up, you do a whole bunch of things, you're busy, but you're not making progress. And then that day just repeats over and over and over. So we're just spending all of our time doing all of these things that aren't actually helping the business grow or helping the business make progress. You're just doing the day-to-day tasks and then it's really hard to grow because sometimes it gets scary to grow. And they go, well, if I'm this busy at 40 units, there's no way I can handle 80. There's no way I can handle 150. There's no way I can handle 500. And if you're running the 500 units the same way you're running the 40 units, the answer is yes, there's no way you can do it. So you need to just look at doing it a different way. Yeah. Yeah, you need to start running your business the way you would at a thousand doors when you have a small amount of doors because it's going to be completely different. And a lot of people, when they first start out, think they need to please everybody, take care of everybody in a special way, and they don't set healthy boundaries. They take on too difficult a clients. They make a lot of mistakes. So by optimizing your time and our goal with our clients isn't just to make you more productive. Our goal with clients is to make sure as a business owner that you are more fulfilled, that you're enjoying your day more. It's not just about being able to somehow accomplish and do more work. The goal really is for you to do more of the things you enjoy and less of the things that you don't enjoy. And so usually for most business owners, that very first exit you need to do in the business is to exit doing the frontline work. If you can make it past that, everything gets a lot easier, it's a lot nicer. But when you're doing frontline work, or when you have an entire team, but they're asking you questions on how to always do or make decisions about the frontline work, you're not out of the frontline work. And so you got to exit the frontline work, then you got to exit managing everybody. And then you got to, the next step is then you're like a CEO or you're a leader and you might want to go to some higher levels of exit, but. A lot of people can't escape the frontline work. They can't figure out how to do that. So they just sell the whole business. They jump all the way to the last exit. They're like, let's go. I need freedom. And then they go start another business and they kind of paint themselves into a corner again and they're miserable. So there's a very simple path that we can take clients through to help them get that freedom. And so if you feel like you're frustrated and you're asking this question all the time, like, why won't my team? just think for themselves. It's because you've built the wrong business. The business is not built around you. The business is built around the business, which means you are now the servant to the business instead of the reverse. And so you built the wrong business, which means you also built the wrong team and you can't see it. Sometimes it takes some outside perspective to get perspective so that you can see it. And that's one of the things we enjoy helping our clients figure out. Sometimes replacing their entire team. And yeah, if you've if you're not enjoying your day to day role and you have an entire team, you built the wrong team because you built it around the wrong person. You're showing up wearing hats and doing things in the business that you shouldn't be doing because you're not the best at this. You're not somebody that enjoys it. And I guarantee if there's certain hats or roles you're wearing or holding on to right now that you don't enjoy, somebody else out there would be better at it than you. And I know that's humbling to think in the beginning. It's a very humbling thing to see, a team member and see them perform better than you, outperform you. But ultimately smart business owners know that you want to build a team of people that are better at the stuff you don't enjoy. Because if you don't enjoy it, you're never going to be great at it.
