We say we want transformation, but often we create environments that protect people from pain instead of preparing them for growth. In the process, we enable spiritual stagnation, emotional fragility, and shallow discipleship. This week on Win Today, Katie Davis Majors exposes the hidden dangers of well-meaning empathy, the false security of “safe spaces,” and the clichés that erode authentic faith. In this conversation, we'll also tackle how to live faithfully in the tension between what God has promised and what we see right now. If you've ever found yourself numbing pain instead of processing it, or if you've settled for comfort instead of maturity, this conversation will challenge you to grow, even when it costs you.

What if the biggest value of AI isn’t answers, but better questions? For Morgan Brown, Vice President of Product and Growth at Dropbox, that realisation has transformed everything from family dinners to global product strategy. In this episode, I chat with Morgan about how he uses AI as both a problem-solver and a sparring partner. Morgan leads Dropbox’s AI products, but he’s also built his own app from scratch - with no coding background - to help his six-year-old son manage type 1 diabetes. We dive into how Morgan uses AI to eliminate grunt work, create powerful prompts, and even stress test his own ideas. This conversation will show you practical ways to turn AI into a genuine partner for your work and life. We discuss: The story behind CARB Scan, the AI-powered app Morgan built to help his son manage diabetes How he uses AI to eliminate shallow work, like meeting recaps and email sorting Why designing prompts is a superpower—and Morgan’s framework for writing great ones The automation Morgan built to scan and summarise the entire AI/ML landscape every morning How to use AI as a true thought partner for brainstorming, strategy, and decision-making The risks of skipping human feedback and why real-world validation still matters Morgan’s advice for spotting your own hidden time sinks and turning them into AI experiments Key Quotes “LLMs aren’t the best search engine. They’re much better as a thought partner.” “The real leverage of AI isn’t the answers. It’s the better questions.” Connect with Morgan Brown on X (Twitter), LinkedIn, and his website https://www.morganbrown.co/ Check out Morgan’s book Hacking Growth.

This week, I'm joined by Darrell Vesterfelt—VP of Growth at Mighty Networks, founder, and one of the powerhouse panelists at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!—for a conversation that cuts right to the heart of what business is really about: people.From growing up in a trailer in rural Michigan to scaling creator businesses to millions in revenue, Darrell's story is proof that success doesn't come from fancy degrees or formulas—it comes from empathy, service, and the courage to follow your transformation.In this raw and energizing conversation, we explore the foundations of coaching, entrepreneurship, and building human-centered businesses that actually last. We talk about the fears that stop people from making offers, the truth about niche and ideal clients, and why community is not just nice-to-have—it's the container where transformation actually happens.We dive into: ✨ Why your ideal clients are often just a younger version of you ✨ How to use your own transformation as the foundation for your business ✨ The reframe that makes selling a moral obligation instead of something to fear ✨ Why niche isn't demographics—it's the transition you help people navigate ✨ How to write a “love letter” to your ideal client that instantly clarifies your message ✨ The truth about offers: if you don't love them, no one else will either ✨ Why selling, success, and failure are all neutral—and what that mindset shift unlocks ✨ The role of community in creating lasting transformation (and why you can't do it alone) ✨ What it really means to build a business that's aligned with service, authenticity, and peopleThis episode is an inspiring reminder that no matter what stage of business you're in, it's never about algorithms, vanity metrics, or trying to be “better.” It's about empathy, connection, and being willing to serve.If you've ever struggled with fear of selling, comparison, or “finding your niche,” this one's going to light you up.Interested in learning how to build a $1M community?

On this Healthy Mind, Healthy Life episode, high-performance coach and speaker Brett Eaton unpacks the core idea from his upcoming book, Uncomfortable Either Way: you can choose short-term comfort and live with long-term regret—or choose productive discomfort and earn growth, confidence, and momentum. We dig into comfort traps (like all-or-nothing thinking), fitness-to-life parallels (discipline, consistency, standards), and Brett's mountain challenges—from Mount Washington to the 29029 Everest event—to show how focusing on “the next few steps” beats obsessing over the summit. Direct, practical, and built for action, this conversation gives you a framework to pick the discomfort that moves you forward.   About the guest Brett Eaton is a high-performance coach, motivational speaker, and author of Uncomfortable Either Way (releasing September 9). He helps ambitious people replace comfort-driven routines with growth-driven choices through simple, repeatable habits and honest self-assessment.   Key takeaways : Discomfort is unavoidable; your power lies in choosing the version that creates growth rather than regret. Comfort often returns as stagnation, “I wish I would have,” and lost time—avoidance doesn't remove discomfort, it only delays it. Fitness is a fair mirror: you get out what you put in. Discipline, reps, and recovery translate directly to career and relationships. Beware the all-or-nothing trap. Early motivation fades; systems, routines, and accountability keep you going when it's not exciting. Productive discomfort isn't 24/7 grind. Pick intentional challenges, recover well, and keep standards high over time. Climb thinking beats summit obsession: control the next steps in front of you and let compounding effort create outcomes. Brutal honesty accelerates change—name where you're letting things slide and close those gaps with specific actions. Identity follows behavior: small daily choices (mornings, inputs, peers) shape who you become. Failure is information. Missed edits, blown deadlines, or tough workouts are feedback loops, not verdicts. Enjoy the climb. The summit is brief; pride comes from the two years of consistent work no one sees.   Connect with the guest   Instagram: @bretteaton_ (Brett Eaton underscore) Website: Bretteaton.com Book: Uncomfortable Either Way — available September 9 (hardcover, Kindle, and audiobook)   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode David Boyd, Six Sigma Black Belt, emphasizes that defined processes and systems are essential for shop efficiency and growth. Every task follows a process, whether recognized or not, and “rapid toggling” (doing the same job differently each day) leads to chaos. Key Insights: Define Processes: Ask “Why do you do it that way?” to uncover gaps and create consistency. Use DMAIC: Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control, establish “normal” and fix what's “abnormal.” Apply Lean Thinking: Reduce wasted motion and idle time (e.g., proper tool placement, faster approvals). Link KPIs to Action: Observe workflows directly (“management by walking around”), not just reports. Commit to Continuous Improvement: It's a loop, not a one-time fix. For MSOs: Scaling requires standardized systems and local accountability. The payoff: higher efficiency, stronger customer experience, productive technicians, fewer mistakes, and sustainable growth.

Microsoft has announced a new policy requiring employees to return to the office three days a week, citing internal data that suggests in-person collaboration enhances employee engagement and productivity. However, this move comes amidst a growing trend where remote-first companies are experiencing faster growth rates. A report indicates that firms allowing remote work are growing 1.7 times faster than those enforcing full-time office attendance. This disparity highlights a potential conflict between large corporations' desire for control and culture and the preferences of employees who increasingly favor flexible work arrangements.In the realm of artificial intelligence, a new model developed by the University of Artificial Intelligence was jailbroken just two days after its launch, raising concerns about the trustworthiness of AI in enterprise settings. The incident underscores the need for companies to address issues related to data privacy and contract alignment, as enterprises are wary of how their data is utilized. Experts emphasize that businesses should focus on building trust with their clients regarding AI deployment, rather than simply adopting the latest technologies without understanding their implications.The Pentagon is facing similar challenges with AI integration in military operations, where a lack of trust in AI outputs could lead to significant risks. A report highlights the necessity for a transparent approach to AI in defense, advocating for a unified strategy to ensure the effective deployment of trustworthy AI agents. The findings suggest that both military and business sectors must prioritize trust and transparency to avoid the pitfalls associated with AI reliance.Huntress found itself in the spotlight after an attacker inadvertently installed its security tool, allowing the company to monitor the hacker's activities for three months. This incident provided valuable insights into modern cybercrime techniques but also sparked ethical debates about the responsibilities of cybersecurity firms. The situation illustrates the importance of knowledge sharing within the cybersecurity community, as vendors should not only provide software solutions but also contribute to the collective understanding of emerging threats. Four things to know today 00:00 Microsoft Pushes Office Mandate, But Research Shows Remote Firms Growing Faster04:12 K2 Think Jailbreak and Gartner Warning Underscore AI's Readiness Gap for Enterprise Trust06:24 From Pentagon to Boardroom: AI's Biggest Challenge Is Trust, Not Technology08:44 Huntress's Accidental Hacker Surveillance Reveals AI-Driven Threats and Ignites Ethics Debate This is the Business of Tech.    Supported by:  https://getnerdio.com/ Webinar:   https://bit.ly/msprmail All our Sponsors: https://businessof.tech/sponsors/ Do you want the show on your podcast app or the written versions of the stories?

Welcome to The Ecommerce Braintrust podcast, brought to you by Julie Spear, Head of Retail Marketplace Services, and Jordan Ripley, Director of Retail Account Management. Today, we're thrilled to be joined by Scott Lester, Senior Manager of Digital & E-commerce at eos: the brand behind the beloved Evolution of Smooth products, from body lotions and lip balms to shaving creams.
