In this episode, I'm talking about the part of growth nobody glamorises online. Not the breakthroughs. Not the wins. The bruise pokes. The moments where stretching into something new lights up the oldest, rawest stories you thought you'd already healed. In this episode I discuss: Why growth often reactivates old abandonment and rejection wounds. How your body confuses present-day expansion with past danger. Why tenderness doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. The myth of "if I were confident enough, this wouldn't bother me." How to meet the bruise without shrinking, spiralling, or fixing. Simple ways to soothe the younger parts of you that panic when things get bigger. This is a grounded, real conversation about the messy emotional underbelly of transformation. If you've ever wondered why getting what you want can still feel wobbly, raw, or "too much," this one's for you.  Come tell me in The Done Era where is growth poking your old bruise right now?

The direction of your life is often shaped by something easy to overlook: the expectations of the people closest to you. Our circle influences how we think about challenges, how we respond to discomfort, and how much effort we believe is required to grow. Today's episode explores the power of our peer group and why intentional relationships are one of the most important decisions we make when building a meaningful life.We've all felt the difference between two environments: one where people complain and shrink their goals, and one where people pursue growth and speak with possibility. The first room quietly drains ambition, while the second room wakes it up. This episode is a conversation about how to step toward the latter. Not by abandoning people, but by choosing alignment. By deciding which expectations you'll allow near your mindset, and which ones no longer serve your future.Growth requires accountability. Accountability requires environment. And environment requires intentional selection of the people who influence our habits, standards, and imagination. You deserve a circle that challenges your excuses and supports your potential.You don't need a perfect circle, you need an honest one. A circle that lives with purpose, demands effort, and believes your best days are still ahead. Today, we'll walk through how to evaluate your influences, how to enter stronger environments, and how to become someone who belongs in the circle you're seeking.Your circle will either raise your ceiling or reinforce it. If you choose your influences carefully, you'll begin to see your identity expand, your discipline strengthen, and your future open into possibilities you may have forgotten were possible.Share this episode with someone who could benefit from the information.CONNECT WITH THE PODCAST:IG: https://www.instagram.com/paulpantani/WEBSITE: https://www.transitiondrillpodcast.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulpantani/SIGN-UP FOR THE NEWSLETTER:https://transitiondrillpodcast.com/home#aboutQUESTIONS OR COMMENTS:paul@transitiondrillpodcast.comSPONSORS:Frontline OpticsGet 10% off your purchaseLink: https://frontlineoptics.comPromocode: Transition10

This week, Dr. Greg sits down with Adrian and Shaelyn Misiak to talk about the real-life tension of growing and healing while your family stays the same. Together they unpack how true boundaries flow from inner peace—not control—and how to stay grounded in mercy when old patterns resurface around the holidays.   Key Topics: Why trying to control your family's behavior only increases anxiety—and what to do instead. Why "outgrowing your family" doesn't mean you've done anything wrong—and what it actually reveals about your healing. How to stay peaceful when one holiday comment sends you straight back into your old role. The surprising truth: boundaries aren't the solution… they're the result of inner peace. How to remain connected to your family without betraying the growth God is doing in you. How mercy—not distance—creates the safest emotional space when old wounds resurface. What to expect when you're the "different one" in the family…and how to carry that role with peace.

Operatinging a practice is very, very different from owning a practice. Kiera walks listeners through what the path to CEO ownership looks like, including the difference between the clinical and business sides, how performing a time audit will get you started, the ideal approach to establishing a vision, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera Dent (00:01) Hello, Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera and today is a great day. I am so excited for this podcast. I am excited to be chatting with you. I feel honored. Where are we at? Are we hanging out? Are we going on a walk together? Are we getting ice cream together? Are we picking up the kids? Are we driving to work? Are we driving home from work? Are we sitting in traffic? Wherever we are, I hope it's a great day. And I hope that even if it wasn't the best day that you're choosing to make sure that today is going to be an epic day, that you're choosing yourself, that you're choosing happiness.   that you're choosing this incredible life. And you remember at one point, at one point, the life you're living is the life that you were dreaming of. And how blessed are we to be able to live this magical life that we get to. So today I just wanna walk you through how to go from a practice operator where you're doing all of it to a true CEO and what needs to change to be able to lead at the next level. So I think this is so fun because owning a practice is very, very, very different than   operating a practice, would you agree? And so like if you're still in the weeds, you're still doing the day to day, you're not yet the CEO of your practice. And so this is something where I wanted to kind of walk you through like, what does that even look like? Because for some of us, we don't even know what the destination looks like. So we're like, well, I can't even visualize it. So therefore I can't even like create it. And I want to make sure that I help you see what that path can be, help you understand what it can look like if you choose that you want to do it.   This is something where Dental A Team's mission is to truly help doctors stop running on survival mode and start leading strategically. So whether you want to be the CEO where you're out of the chair, whether you want to still be the operator where you do some dentistry, but you have the options because you know what that can look like. So that's what we're about. And today it's going to be going from busy operator into visionary, going from day to day to the big picture. And so fun because I actually was talking to a client this morning who actually it's been about a three year journey has now   rounded the bend to where they had their last day of clinical dentistry and they're stepping fully into the CEO role. And as we were chatting, we talked about how it's a mind trip. It's a full blown mind trip and how I told them, said, it's crazy because I'm actually doing this podcast today. I had already planned that I wanted to talk about this. It was so serendipitous that we chatted today. ⁓ But I said, isn't it wild how like what we dreamed of, like you go through dental school and you go through all these things. ⁓   to walk away from that, have associates, to have different people. Just like me, I consult, I still do some consulting, but I do a lot more of running the business, owning the business, and not as much in the day-to-day anymore. And I'm so grateful for the team of Dental A team that allows me to be in my sweet spot, the visionary role, to enjoy it and to allow them to be in their sweet spots. And this doctor and I, were chatting and he just said like, Keir, it's weird.   I don't even know what being a CEO looks like. And I have another doctor and he said, Garrett, it's so weird to go from being clinical all the time to working on the business, but it's so fun to work on the business and to be the CEO that can look. And as I was talking to the doctor this morning, they're thinking about doing a DSO and wondering what they want to do with that. And he's just like, you know, I don't even know. So we started talking and we were rattling off all these things. And he was like, that's what I need to be doing as a CEO. That's why I need to have the time not in the chair is so that way I can.   I can drive this business in the direction it needs to go. And so again, today's podcast is not to say that you need to step away from the chair. As you can see, there's one client who is completely out of the chair. There's another client who works one or two days clinically. Myself, I still do ⁓ a day of consulting and then I still do podcasting and I do the things that light my fire that I still enjoy doing. But there's a path of how do you get there? And it was kind of like when I used to be a treatment coordinator and a dental assistant and I became an office manager and I'm like,   I don't even know what I'm supposed to do. All of these are different layers. I almost want you to think kind of like the wifi symbol. Like you just, you go through different layers and it's different identities. And it's kind like you pop through and you look around and like, don't even recognize this neighborhood. Like I don't even recognize the neighborhood of CEOs. I don't even recognize the neighborhood of working two days of clinical. I don't even recognize the neighborhood of where my leadership team does the bulk of all the pieces that I'm doing. Like I don't actually have to do the hiring and firing anymore. I don't have to do all the one-on-ones anymore.   you pop your head up into a different neighborhood and it's a loss of identity and it's a taking on of a new identity and it's a morphing. I remember talking about this, gosh, this is like in the archives of podcasts. If you wanna go look, go to TheDentalATeam.com, click on podcasts and type in like sloughing and snake and you'll probably find it. But I talked about this years and years ago of how when you evolve from being this operator to this owner, it's kind of like a snake and you have to like literally like slough off.   the old version of you to allow space to become the version that you need to be. And so just kind of going through like, what does it even look like? And if I wanted to, or just maybe propose or think about, because I always believe like the more knowledge you have and the more, I think vision or maybe just like thought, right? Like I never even thought about it. Like I never even thought that my practice could make a hundred thousand. Like what if it made 200,000 a month or what if it made 300,000 or.   There's a practice doing 550 a month or there's a practice who's literally doing a million a month. I have an office that like all their offices are producing. They've got multi offices and they're producing between 350 and 450 a month. Every one of their offices. And I say this not for you to compare and to beat yourself up and say like, my gosh, I'm not even there, Kiera, I'm only doing 30,000. I want all of us just to say there are other neighborhoods, there are other visions. And I wanted today to just show a picture.   And then you get to pick up whatever you want or don't want from this vision. There is no right you have to get here. It's just, I want to show you and paint a picture in case you're thinking about it. So that way you look at life, look at your practice, look at your decision-making differently at whatever stage you are in your business. So there's no judgment. There's no expectation. That's something I love about Dental A Team is I've got clients that are producing 7,000 a month and I've got clients that are producing, oh gosh, like 1.2 to 2 million a month.   It's insane. I've got clients that are at 80 % overhead. Don't worry, they're brand new. All the way down to a 35 % overhead. All of us are in different journeys, we're on different paths, we have different priorities. And there's not a one size fits all in Dental A Team. It is a one size fits you. And then let's just make sure that we expand your knowledge base. That way you're making decisions educated rather than placed upon you. So step one, as you're kind of shifting into this role, is going to be...   shifting from doing to delegating. And this is something where I think as founders, as owners, myself included, we build the, like we've built this so we know how to do all the pieces and it's very hard to let go. The CEO builds the machine, they don't run every part of it. And so really thinking about that, like your job is to build the vision, your job is to do these bigger partnerships, your job is to build the culture, to be the lighthouse on the hill, but not the one rowing the boat. And so,   The way we do this is kind of like a time audit. So we write down every single thing that we're doing and we look to see who could do this 80 % as well as I can that we could delegate. And there's ⁓ in some of our other podcasts and on our summit and in some of our things, we talk about a delegation ladder. And basically we like look at administrative tasks and scheduling tasks and TC tasks and then all the way up to marketing and leadership tasks. And so how can we start to delegate these tasks out? And so you're not doing them all.   And then what we do is we have leads and we have scorecards and we have ⁓ decision pieces to help people understand what decisions they can or can't make. And what happens is when doctors start to let go of this, empower their team without letting go, so they're still in the reins, they're then able to work on growth and strategy and you're able to build the vision. You're able to have the time to go to those big networks. Like the doctor here, like Kiera, all the people you told me like, that's why I need to go make phone calls with. making those phone calls are big decisions for the business.   don't happen between patients and they're not happening after hours. They can, but when you really do shift from this, it's crazy because you start to actually have the time, the bandwidth, the depth, the breadth to be able to even think in this way. And so my suggestion is like whether you want to become this CEO that's owning the business rather than operating the business, I want you to truly look at this to see what's one task that you could delegate or even do a dump. Like this is how I first learned that I needed to hire a personal assistant.   I did a dump and I looked at every single thing on there and I like took a pink highlighter and we're like, what are the that only Kiera can do? And I realized that my list are like three out of like 50 that truly were only things that I could do. I just was obsessed with doing it. People are like, but Kiera, you let someone book your travel. You better freaking believe I let someone book my travel. I don't even know where I'm going half the time. Can I still do it if I had to? Yes. But is there someone who can do it way better than I can and can also help me have time to do other things that they can't do?   The answer is yes. So I want you to just like look to see what are you doing all the time that maybe you could delegate. Start there. This is for CEO or non-CEO. This is for every single team member, business owner out there. Dentist is literally do an audit and see what we can delegate, what we can shift to make sure that we're optimizing ourselves in the best way possible. And then number two is going to be ⁓ the CEO's job is to   literally set up the one, three, 10 year vision of the company. It is to set the culture. It is to make sure that you're evolving it. And so what you're doing is you're helping your team rally around these one, three, 10 year goals. And then we use our weekly meetings to align on those goals rather than like being constantly on fires. Like truly, there was a team I was working with and I'm like, okay, we're talking in fire land all day because we have no clue where we're going.   We're just walking in the desert with no destination. And so you have a vision for your team and you're just constantly harping on that. And so what happens is like as a CEO dentist, what you start to do is you start to do vision. We run this off of traction as my preferred method by Gina Wickman. And you start to set then quarterly meetings and weekly meetings where we're focused on this bigger vision rather than on the fire. So you really go from like,   I don't know, like head in the sand almost and like trying to just figure it out to like, where are we headed? What are the biggest issues? Like that practice, were walking around in the desert with no destination. We gave them a destination. There's still all these fires, but we can then prioritize which things need to get done this quarter and actually start to move the boulders, move the practice, move the progress ⁓ without it just being, I don't know. just, like, I use a really great analogies. It's just a like,   we're focusing on goals rather than on fires. We're going about priorities rather than like just in the minutia. And so when you start to shift this out and the way to have this is like, my question to you is what is your one year goal? What is your three year goal? What is your 10 year goal? Does your team know this? Do you know this? And I don't care what they are. There's no right or wrong, but we start to have it to where we're building it this way. We're moving in this direction. We're not moving in a, it's like a swirl when your head's   like walking in the desert, right? You're just swirling around. You don't know if you've made progress. You don't know if you're going forward or going backwards to where there's a lighthouse. There is a direction. We're moving in that way. And without that teams feel very lost. And so you start to move in that where you're, that's your focus. And then you have your meetings and you get all your departments going and they have department leads that are running them. They're all in line with the vision. And your job is to keep expanding this vision, to expand the pieces. And that does not necessarily mean expanding more practices.   but it's expanding the vision of your location of what you're doing. And then number three is ⁓ there's scalable systems in place that are not dependent upon you. And so what it is is there's consistency. So we've got consistent new patient exams, we've got consistent treatment planning, we've got consistent marketing, we've got consistent ⁓ billing and AR, we've got consistent hygiene protocols, we've got consistent room setups for all of our dental assistants, we've got consistent onboarding for associate dentists.   All of our associates are doing the same type of dentistry. And you really have these scalable systems that are in place, not necessarily put by you, but are guided by you. And so you've got these key players. So when you become the CEO, you've got to also have key players. So you've got an incredible office manager or regional manager. You usually have a personal assistant or executive assistant that's with you. You have your hygiene lead. You've got your dental assistant lead. You might even have a marketing team, depending upon if it's outsourced or internal. ⁓   But those are the players at the table. You have a clinical doctor at the table. And so we have these scalable systems where they're constantly able to be able to have the same results without the effort of needing to recreate it every single time. Like I remember Tiff and I, when we would bring on new hires, it was like, gosh, like build a new thing and build a new thing. And I was like, no.   we have onboarding documents, we've got videos, we've got the way we do it. And there's still so much autonomy within all of it. But these are systems to where at a $1 million practice up to a $20 million that these can scale. So like the way you onboard at 1 million versus the way you onboard at 20 million will be very different. And I just want you to see like, this is where we actually can assess, we can grow, we can evolve. And we've got these scalable systems. I recommend two times a year that you actually assess them. So we look at   What's our operations manual? What's our onboarding? How are those? we need to change them? Do we need to adapt them? Do we need to morph them? And so this is where we start to build it out. This is where operations manuals become very paramount because as a CEO dentist, your job is to delegate more. So you've got more time to vision. You lead with that vision and you help make sure all your leads know where they're going. They're leading and empowering their team. And I have this quote over here by Gandhi that says, a sign of a good leader is not how many followers you have, but how many leaders you create.   So as a CEO who stepped out of clinical dentistry and you're now owning the business, you're creating, you're delegating, you are leading with vision and having your ⁓ leaders in your practice and everything is systematized. Like literally everything is systematized and automated as much as possible to where the business really is running whether you're there or not. And that's the true thing. Can I remove you?   Keep the vision, so your job is to keep the vision, but I take you out, slide you out, and you're not there for a month, for two months? And would the business still perform? Would the quality care and the patient care still be as optimal? Would the billing and the overhead and the accounting, would those all work, whether you're there or not? And if we lost a key player, could we replace them with another key player and it would still run? This is how you start to create a business rather than a job. This is how you start to have team members that know   how to scale and how to evolve and how to help and serve more patients with the same quality of care that you've set up. This is where it's no longer dependent upon you being a part and like having your hands in every single pot to make sure everything's going because the pots get too big. There's too many pots for you to be able to handle. And so whether you want to become the CEO visionary owner or you want to just have less like dependent upon you, these are very tangible and tactical for you today right now where you are.   So this is where it's like, if I'm exhausted and I'm tired of running on fumes and I would prefer to have more time in the visionary role and less time in the doing role, that doesn't, again, it doesn't mean that it's wrong. It just means that you're morphing. Like again, we're popping through a new neighborhood, a new vision, a new level for you. Then this is where we just, we choose one of these things or something in all the areas and we start to implement small little changes.   that start to make big changes over time. They say the days are long, but the years are fast. And so how can we start to put little things into place to help you scale, scale your impact, scale your bandwidth, scale your time and help empower other people that are going to be able to scale right along with you. So this is a sign for you to just think a little bit differently, to start looking at the broader vision, the bigger vision, the what could be possible, and then start to put things into place today.   I do not care what your vision is. do not care what you want to do. I do not care any of those things. Whatever your vision is, is perfect for you. I just wanted to paint a picture of what could be. What are other people doing? What are maybe some possibilities to where you start to think differently, you start to create differently, you start to hire differently, you start to train differently, you start to lead differently, you start to become the next best version of you because you knew you wanted to evolve into this. No person wants to be doing every single thing and burnt out and burnt to a crisp.   No person does. Everybody wants to feel balanced, feel satisfied, to feel happy, to feel growth. Growth equals happiness. And so evolving into the next version of you is something that I feel is very paramount for you and your team to do. So think about this, on this. This is maybe a sign to think differently. And for all of you out there, I hope that you're thinking differently. And if you need somebody to coach you, to guide you, to get your team on board, you're like, gosh, I like, don't want to be in the chair as much, but I don't know how to get my team on board with that. That's what we do.   This is what we're experts with. So reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. We're happy to help you. And today I hope you just think a little bit differently. Maybe question a few things. What could I delegate? How could I look at this differently? Do I have a vision for my team? Do I have scalable systems? And if not, pick one or two that you can do. And as always, we're here to help you. We're rooting alongside of you because your ultimate vision is our ultimate. Like that's what we're passionate about. We want to help you get your ultimate vision.   So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.  

The Coming Wave: Why Cash PT Is Headed Toward National Consolidation In this episode, Doc Danny Matta breaks down a bold prediction for the next decade of cash-based physical therapy: the rise of the first nationwide cash PT brand. He explains why the market is primed for massive consolidation, how well-funded companies will change the competitive landscape, and what independent PTs must do now to protect their clinics and stay ahead. Quick Ask If this episode helps you think strategically about your business, share it with another clinician who needs to hear it—and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare it. Let's help more PTs build resilient, future-proof practices. Episode Summary Documentation burnout: Notes are the #1 satisfaction killer for PTs—but AI scribes like Clair are changing that. The big prediction: A dominant, well-funded cash PT brand will emerge within 5–10 years. Why it's coming: Cash PT is a fragmented industry—making it ripe for consolidation. Parallel to CrossFit: Independent affiliates → OrangeTheory-style scaling. The MYO example: A clinically strong, business-savvy brand already expanding across North America. Funding accelerates growth: Capitalized clinics can outspend and outscale local competitors. The risk to small clinics: Owners who don't level up in business skills will be the first to get squeezed out. Lessons & Takeaways Strong brand identity matters: Your niche and reputation must be crystal clear. Community ties protect you: Local loyalty beats national branding when done right. Systems = survival: Without consistent processes, you can't compete with scaled clinics. Capital changes the game: Funded competitors can move faster and spend more to dominate markets. Seven-figure clinics are the safe zone: Multiple clinicians = stability, hiring power, and insulation. Mindset & Motivation Control what you can control: You can't stop national brands, but you can out-serve them locally. Play offense, not defense: Staying tiny isn't safe—it's risky. Growth is protection: More clinicians = stronger brand, stronger community presence, and stronger cash flow. Embrace the opportunity: Rising interest in cash PT means a larger market for everyone. Pro Tips for Clinic Owners Automate documentation: Use Clair to reclaim time, reduce burnout, and stay patient-focused. Dial in your niche: Own a specific population so deeply that national chains can't replicate you. Invest in brand building: Your logo, message, and community presence matter more than ever. Master sales & marketing: Cash PT requires top-tier communication and value clarity. Train your team relentlessly: Quality control keeps your outcomes consistent across clinicians. Notable Quotes "Any fragmented industry eventually consolidates. Cash PT is no different." "If you stay tiny because you think it's safe, you're actually more vulnerable than ever." "A national cash PT brand will sell for nine figures—or more. The momentum is already here." "Your community, your niche, your service—those are your moats." Action Items Audit your brand: is it recognizable, niche-specific, and memorable? Evaluate your systems: documentation, scheduling, marketing, and sales. Assess your growth plan: is staying small really safe for the next decade? Study fast-scaling companies like MYO to understand future competition. Start using an AI scribe like Clair to free up hours of mental bandwidth.

#679 If you've been posting on social media and still not seeing growth, this conversation explains exactly why! In this episode, host Kirsten Tyrrel sits down with social media expert and former theater-kid-turned-entrepreneur, Jenna Harding, to pull back the curtain on Instagram strategy for service-based business owners. Jenna shares how she went from resisting social media to running a thriving agency and teaching entrepreneurs how to grow, nurture, and sell with intentional content. She breaks down the three core types of Instagram posts, why most service providers get stuck in “nurture mode,” and how to simplify growth by having a plan, creating engaging formats, and letting imperfect posts hit the feed. If you've been consistent on social but still not growing, this episode is a mindset-reset and a tactical masterclass in using Instagram as a real business tool — not just a creative outlet! What we discuss with Jenna: + Transition from actor to social media expert + Why service providers over-focus on nurture content + Growth vs. nurture vs. sales posts + How intentional planning beats random posting + B-roll, hooks, and engaging formats + Getting over perfection and “just posting” + Why engagement attractors matter + Selling a little all the time + Making content fun and personal Thank you, Jenna!

“Then Jonah prayed to the Lord his God from inside the fish. He said, ‘I cried out to the Lord in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and Lord, you heard me! You threw me into the ocean depths, and I sank down to the heart of the sea. The mighty waters engulfed me; I was buried beneath your wild and stormy waves. Then I said, “O Lord, you have driven me from your presence. Yet I will look once more toward your holy Temple.”'” Jonah 2:1-4The book of Jonah is without a doubt the most known book of the prophets and perhaps one of the most well known of the Old Testament. That is to say, most of the story is well known. From the earliest ages the story of Jonah and the fish or Jonah and the whale is taught in church classrooms around the world. But usually that story ends in chapter 2 . . . but there are still two more chapters to the book of Jonah and, you know what, the conversation today spends most of its time in chapter 4. To help us navigate the book of Jonah is Dr. T. Desmond Alexander, Senior Research Fellow in Biblical Studies at Union Theological College. So let's leave what you think you know about Jonah behind and strap in as Desi Alexander takes us on a really fun and thought-provoking journey into the book of Jonah. Doable Discipleship is a Saddleback Church podcast produced and hosted by Jason Wieland.

Drawing from her experience growing multiple businesses and leading The Wealthy Practitioner to new levels, Steph gets raw about what it really takes to lead at a championship level. From firing team members you love to setting "Netflix-level" standards of excellence, she shares the mindset, structure, and culture shifts required to build a team that truly wins. Steph walks through the evolution of her leadership over the last three years, the lessons learned from building teams across multiple companies, and how she's now creating her own TWP Culture Memo inspired by Netflix's Dream Team philosophy. You'll learn how to recognize when someone isn't the right fit, how to elevate your expectations without guilt, and how to attract A-players who thrive under high standards. Whether you're managing your first hire or running a full operation, this episode will challenge you to lead with clarity, confidence, and conviction.

Jed Morley emphasizes the vital importance of brand integrity and authenticity, warning that companies often falter when they adjust their messaging or values in response to shifting trends or external pressures. Such inconsistency, he notes, leads to confusion and erodes hard-earned trust among customers and stakeholders. Instead, lasting brand loyalty is built on a foundation of unwavering commitment to a company's true mission, vision, and values—enabling organizations to stand apart with clarity even as they tailor communications to meet the diverse needs and readiness of their audiences. Jed's deep experience reveals that brands can recover from missteps if they return to their core principles and approach both innovation and communication with empathy and careful pacing. By understanding what their customers are genuinely ready to embrace, companies avoid overwhelming or alienating them, and can foster stronger long-term relationships. He believes that successful brands prioritize message-market fit through continual research, customer engagement, and consistently authentic storytelling, even as they scale their impact through modern tools and technologies. If you're seeking to strengthen your own organization's brand integrity or want to harness the proven methodology behind sustainable brand growth, discover more about Jed Morley's insights and strategies at Backstory Branding.

Elliot Moss didn't join a law firm to keep things the same. As Partner and Chief Brand Officer at Mishcon de Reya LLP, he brought a deep understanding of branding into a profession that often dismisses it, and changed how one of the UK's top firms thinks about growth and perception. He shares how clarity, consistency, and emotional intelligence turned Mishcon from a £45 million practice into a £380 million brand defined by truth and differentiation, not slogans. Clients, he says, may buy expertise, but they stay because of trust and how a firm makes them feel.   He talks candidly about leading change in a culture that prizes logic over emotion, showing how small wins and patience can reshape perception from within. The conversation moves beyond marketing into the psychology of leadership, exploring why authentic differentiation matters more than polish and how strong branding can become a firm's greatest competitive advantage. For Elliot, the future of law will belong to those who understand that perception drives performance—and that real brand power is earned, not advertised.   Episode Breakdown: 00:00 Building a Brand Inside a Law Firm 04:35 From Advertising to Legal Branding 06:30 Why Differentiation Matters in Professional Services 09:08 Changing Client Perception Through Authentic Branding 15:33 Strategy and Growth at Mishcon de Reya LLP 24:32 Leading Change in a Traditional Industry 31:16 AI, Private Capital, and the Future of Law Firms 36:59 Elliot Moss on Leadership and Opportunity Connect with Elliot Moss Connect with Elliot on LinkedIn Elliot's Web Bio   Connect with Howard Rosenberg: Connect with Howard on LinkedIn Howard's Company Web Profile   Connect with Chris Batz: Connect with Chris on LinkedIn  Follow Columbus Street on LinkedIn Columbus Street Website  Podcast production and show notes provided by HiveCast.fm

Most paddlers are trying to build courage and skill on top of a shaky foundation — and they don't even know it. In this solo episode, I break down why so many paddlers (and humans!) focus on the wrong thing when they're trying to improve. Whether it's your roll falling apart, your eddy peel-outs feeling frantic, or the ever-present fear of being underwater (or in any challenge that doesn't seem to ever go away), chances are you're working on symptoms instead of the actual root. And when you build on a weak foundation? It only holds for so long… until it doesn't. Inside this episode, you'll learn:

Growing pains shape every meaningful goal and this episode challenges you to step toward the discomfort that signals real progress.   Andrew takes a simple moment with his toddler and turns it into a clear look at growth in everyday life. He highlights how personal development rarely moves forward without challenges and how each stage of improvement asks for new habits, new choices, and a willingness to face discomfort. What do you do when you feel that tension that shows up right before a breakthrough?   He invites listeners to look closely at one area where progress feels slow and ask whether the resistance there is actually a signal to keep going. Growth often appears at the edge of uncertainty, yet many people mistake that edge for a warning instead of an opening. What shifts if you approach that moment with curiosity rather than avoidance?   This episode encourages you to name the challenge in front of you, recognize it as part of your personal development, and choose the next small step toward the version of yourself you want to build.   Quotes “If you want to achieve anything great, whether that is from a physical fitness standpoint, whether that's from a career standpoint, whether that is from a relationship standpoint... you're going to have to go through some growth phases in that realm.” (03:12 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You're going to have to put in some hard work. It's not going to come easy to just continue to improve something from a physical fitness standpoint.” (03:54 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “It's going to be uncomfortable when you start because you're having to make this big change.” (05:09 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You have to go through some discomfort in order to get to these places. Growth is not comfortable.” (06:02 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “How can you continue to lean into that discomfort that you're feeling?

The episode features brothers Billy and Tommy Hall of Halls Chophouse, sharing how their late father's “service before self” philosophy, honed in luxury hotels, became the backbone of a family-run steakhouse that launched in 2009 on a rough stretch of King Street in Charleston during the Great Recession and slowly grew into a 10-restaurant hospitality group across the Southeast. They talk about treating every guest like they're walking into their home: handshakes and hugs at the door, learning names and stories, grabbing Dr Peppers and pizzas from other businesses if that's what it takes, writing stacks of handwritten thank-you notes every night, and viewing each shift as a “battle” to change someone's day for the better. Along the way they dive into hiring for attitude over polish, leading by example on the floor, managing through brutal beef prices while protecting quality via long-term relationships with suppliers, balancing a 24/7 business with family life, and the deep gratitude they feel for guests who choose to spend their hard-earned money in a place that strives to make them feel seen, known, and validated.Key Takeaways Hospitality is in their DNA.Billy and Tommy grew up as “hotel brats,” moving 23 times while their dad ran iconic properties; service before self wasn't a training module, it was simply how their family lived. Halls started in the worst of times and places.The first Halls Chophouse opened in 2008–2009 on a then-boarded-up stretch of King Street during a severe economic downturn, and early nights saw as few as 17 guests. It's a true family business.Mom, dad, brothers, sister, and even grandma were all in the building at the start; their mother still works brunches and decorates for holidays, and Tommy's kids now grow up in the restaurants. Growth has been deliberate and values-driven.What started as one steakhouse has grown into 10 concepts, including Rita's Seaside Grill on Folly Beach, Halls locations in Greenville, Columbia, Somerville, Nashville, and a seafood concept, Halls Catch, all built around the same hospitality standards. They treat every day like game day.Drawing on Tommy's sports background, they see restaurant service as a daily battle; “you're only as good as your last steak,” and winning with guests (sales) fixes a lot of other problems. They hire for heart, not just skills.The focus is on good people with great attitudes and energy, then giving them freedom to be human and connect instead of reciting scripts; managers are expected to model that behavior. Old-school touches still win in a digital world.Handshakes, eye contact, remembering names, personally walking guests to the restroom, and sending 70+ handwritten thank-you notes a night are non-negotiables that make guests feel truly valued. “Yes” is the default answer.If a kid wants pizza or a guest wants Dr Pepper, they'll go down the street or across the way to get it; they refuse to hide behind “we don't have that” when a little extra effort can delight someone. They manage headwinds by doubling down on experience.Even as beef prices surge and costs climb, they stay committed to top-tier product through long relationships with suppliers like Allen Brothers, and make up for higher prices by delivering unforgettable service. They see guests as family and the journey as a marathon.To their regulars who visit multiple times a week and to first-timers alike, their message is simple: thank you, tell us when we fall short, and know we're in this for the long haul, not a quick hit.
