9/30/26Episode SummaryJT from ReptiChip returns as the show's first-ever repeat guest. Two years ago, his reptile supply brand had grown revenue 5x; since then it's done it again, for roughly 25x growth in three and a half years. JT and Scott break down the three buckets behind that growth:Catalog expansion: curating and reselling other brands' products that meet his quality bar, including wholesale vs. dropship, partner deals, and margins.Advertising: building in-house skill in Google and Meta, using his own scorecards, and planning top-, middle-, and bottom-of-funnel ads. CPC traffic grew just 6% year over year while revenue from it doubled.Email: evolving campaigns, including a brand-authentic sale tied to Steve Irwin.They also cover growing a marketing team to three full-time people, hiring and keeping good employees (and why location matters), celebrating failure as a way to learn, and why there's no silver bullet: building a brand takes years of hard work.Show LinksReptiChip - https://reptichip.comVideo & Transcripthttps://jadepuma.com/blogs/the-shopify-solutions-podcast/episode-195-the-shopify-silver-bullet-hardwork

Today on Notable Leaders Radio, I sit down with Noemi Beres, Co-Founder of Podcast Connections and a master organizer who helps entrepreneurs land high-quality podcast interviews to build authority and grow their businesses. Growing up as an only child in a small town in Hungary, Noemi learned early on from her parents that hard work, persistence, and consistency are the real drivers of success. After starting her career in Denmark and Ireland, she made the bold leap into entrepreneurship in 2007 despite having no formal background in sales or marketing. When personal tragedy struck in 2019, followed by the loss of her business during the 2020 pandemic, Noemi chose to push forward, rebuilding her life and launching a thriving podcast booking agency from scratch. Throughout our conversation, Noemi shares why relationships must always come before results, how leaning into art helped her navigate profound grief, and why every leader needs a "just keep going" mindset. In This Episode, We Discuss Pivot Through Crisis with Unshakable Resilience When sudden loss or market disruptions threaten your livelihood, forward momentum becomes essential. Noemi opens up about losing her father, grandmother, and business in rapid succession during 2019 and 2020, and how choosing action over dwelling on the past allowed her to rise from the ashes. Prioritize Relationships Over Results True business growth happens when you lead with heart and generosity. As an active member of the Go-Giver community, Noemi explains how building genuine, trust-based connections creates far more meaningful impact than chasing quick transactions. Embrace Storytelling and Authentic Guesting Great podcasting relies on presence, vulnerability, and active listening. Noemi breaks down what makes an extraordinary podcast guest, highlighting how sharing real human stories creates a ripple effect that helps listeners feel seen, understood, and inspired. Build Your Life on Hard Work and Consistency Success is rarely an overnight phenomenon. Noemi reflects on how her parents instilled a strong work ethic in her from an early age, demonstrating that persistent effort and daily showing up ultimately unlock long-term achievements. A Final Reflection Our circumstances may shape our story, but they don't have to determine the ending. The moment we choose to keep moving forward despite fear, tragedy, or uncertainty is the moment we step back into our own power. With persistence, genuine kindness, and a commitment to serving others, we can rebuild from any setback, cultivate deep connections, and turn our greatest challenges into lasting impact. Carry This Forward Notice What story or past setback are you holding onto that might be keeping you from taking your next step forward? Reflect Where in your business or personal life can you shift your focus from seeking results to building genuine, heart-centered relationships? Act What is one small, consistent action you will take before tomorrow to keep moving toward your goals, regardless of current challenges?

In this episode, I reflect on the complicated line between being privileged and actually working incredibly hard for the things we have. Sometimes, what looks like luck or privilege from the outside is the result of sacrifices, struggles, and years of effort that nobody else got to see. At the same time, acknowledging our hard work doesn't mean pretending that privilege doesn't exist. I also explore the way we attach ideas of hard work and “earning your place” to masculinity, especially when it comes to relationships. Why do we sometimes respect someone more because they had to struggle for what they have? And why can privilege make us question someone's ambition, character, or worth?Reflections on privilege, effort, relationships, and the complicated question of who gets credit for the life they have.

In this episode, Linda McKissack and Dana Gentry continue their conversation about lessons from the High Performance event, focusing on what allows leaders to stay energized and effective over the long term. Drawing from John Maxwell's reflections on 50 years of leadership, they explore why motivation comes from taking action rather than waiting for the right feeling, the importance of defining success for yourself, maintaining a positive perspective, doing work you love with people you love, and allowing years of consistent effort to compound. The conversation then shifts to the challenge of recognizing when you've outgrown a particular version of success and distinguishing between work that is difficult because it's stretching you versus work that is difficult because it no longer fits your strengths. Patrick Lencioni's Working Genius framework becomes a practical way to identify the work that naturally provides energy, joy, and fulfillment—and to build teams where people can operate within their strengths rather than forcing themselves into roles that drain them.

Work with me and my team 1 on 1; https://coachdusseault-fight.com/applicationJoin our Skool Community; https://www.skool.com/coach-dusseault-fight-club-4191Episode Description:We hit record again with a new banner and a bigger promise: Life Without Limitation. The name change is not a rebrand for the sake of novelty. It's a line in the sand after 18 months of learning, building, and confronting the same problem we see in athletes and high achievers everywhere: working insanely hard while quietly doubting we deserve the result.We unpack how limiting beliefs hide inside “smart” behaviours like chasing a new trick, overcomplicating training, or staying busy without moving the deal forward. If you're in combat sports, strength and conditioning, or any high-performance path, you've seen it: someone says they want a UFC-level outcome, then lets “life is busy” become the deciding factor. We talk about direction and intention, why consistency beats motivation, and why your brain will always try to pull you back toward comfort when the next step actually matters.I also share the turning point that set this whole journey in motion: leaving a gym job in 2019 that looked perfect on paper but felt miserable in real life, and waking up to the terrifying truth that nobody was coming to save me. That willingness to take ownership, keep showing up, and make uncomfortable decisions led to coaching athletes around the world, working with UFC fight camps, and building a studio at home. The same principle applies to your training, your career, and your wealth: you only find out by trying, and you grow by doing it anyway.If you want a practical mindset shift for performance, business, and life, press play. Subscribe to the show, share it with a teammate, and leave a review telling us what limitation you're ready to challenge next.

Rick Fittin grew up in New Jersey, joined the Army, and went on to spend more than 25 years in law enforcement — working his way from patrol officer to K9 officer and eventually police chief. Along the way, he experienced the wild, funny, and unpredictable side of policing that most people never get to hear directly from the officers who lived it. After more than two decades on the job, Rick walked away from law enforcement and started an entirely new chapter of his life. _____________________________________________  #police #cops #TrueCrime #crimestories #k9 _____________________________________________ Thank you to HIMS & CASH APP for sponsoring this episode: Hims: Ready to reach your goals?

Some places leave an unexpected mark on our lives. For me, one of those places was a magnificent garden on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. This is where an unexpected story of restoration captured my imagination. Life has its own ways of leaving us with barren places—a relationship changes, a business struggles, a health issue interrupts our plans, or a season simply ends before we're ready. And we're left asking, What do I do with what remains? That's where The Restoration Principle begins. Restoration isn't about returning life to exactly what it was; it's about taking what remains and rebuilding it into something strong, purposeful, and even beautiful again. It's an important principle I explore in my upcoming book, MOVE BEYOND: From Brokenness to Purpose, released later this year. This topic is so very relevant for anyone who is facing change or deciding "what's next" as parts of our lives do transform as we rebuild and repurpose.

Being reliable for hard work can be an incredible strategy for success. But when hard work becomes the answer to everything, it can leave us untrusting of our own intuitive wisdom.  The work is to notice our tendency to push over our intuitive sense, notice ourselves picking up the tools and getting ready to do the work, and to the best of our ability, let that go.

Natural ability can give you a head start.Discipline determines how far you actually go.In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why entrepreneurs should stop obsessing over how talented their competitors appear and start focusing on the consistency, repetitions, and endurance they can control.Talent is useful.But talent without work eventually reaches a ceiling.The person willing to practice longer, learn from failure, and keep showing up can close gaps that once looked impossible.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why natural talent is only an advantage when it is consistently applied• How difficult experiences can build stronger resilience• Why repetition can compensate for weaknesses in skill or experience• How disciplined execution compounds into a long-term competitive advantageThe truth is simple:You do not control how naturally gifted someone else is.You control the reps.Make the calls.Practice the skill.Study the mistakes.Show up again tomorrow.What begins as a disadvantage can become the reason you develop stronger discipline than the people who started ahead of you.Stop comparing talent.Do the work.Let consistency close the gap.Your Network is your NETWORTH!Make sure to add me on all SOCIAL MEDIA PLATFORMS:Instagram: https://jo.my/paulalex2024Facebook: https://jo.my/fbpaulalex2024YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCGhDAD1JyGGzSQUPD9lc9HQLinkedIn: https://jo.my/inpaulalex2024Looking for a secondary source of income or want to become an entrepreneur?

“Hustle culture” is ingrained in so many of us in this field, and as our guest on the Faculty Factory Podcast this week, Jennifer Bickel, MD, argues, the busiest among us need to slow down and find time for wellness the most. Dr. Bickel is a neurologist, and in 2024, she joined the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center in Houston as vice president and chief wellness officer. "Along the way, when did we start thinking that fun was not professional?" Dr. Bickel ponders, arguing that injecting fun is crucial to our work. Wellness used to be looked at as a nice-to-have, not a mission-critical aspect of academic health, but those days are over. Not feeling valued is a leading cause of burnout, and how/why to show more appreciation for each other is a crucial aspect of this interview. The effects of chronic stress on the brain make us see an impending change as more of a threat than as an opportunity. It also leads us to show up with cynicism rather than empathy (not ideal for any line of work, especially one that includes clinical care). By staying super busy all the time and not getting sufficient breaks, we are much more likely to make mistakes. It's crucial to breathe, take a step back, and reflect regularly, because when you attempt to grind your way through everything, you actually don't have the time to keep the status quo.

Host Laura Reeves sits down with renowned professional handler Diego Garcia for an inspiring conversation on the dedication, philosophy and heart required to succeed in the purebred dog sport. [caption id="attachment_17302" align="alignleft" width="194"] Diego Garcia in the early days.[/caption] From his beginnings in Argentina to learning under legendary dog men in the United States, Diego shares invaluable wisdom on physical muscle conditioning, the importance of mental connection in the ring, maintaining integrity and supporting the next generation of exhibitors. "The secret to success is always the longer way. It is not going to be easy, but when you go to bed and you took the longer way, you can look at yourself in the mirror." Key Highlights and Discussion Points Early Influences and Mentorship:Diego shares his journey from Argentina, where his parents began breeding Boxers in the early 1980s, to working in the United States for Michael Shepherd. He discusses how Shepherd instilled in him a structured, rigorous approach to dog care that shaped his entire career.Treating Show Dogs Like Royalty:Because dogs do not choose to compete on their own, Diego emphasizes that they deserve to be treated like royalty 24/7, with their needs always coming before anything else.Physical Conditioning on Soft Surfaces:Building proper muscle tone requires dedication and hard work. Diego advises handlers to run and exercise dogs on grass rather than pavement to protect their movement, feet and joints.[caption id="attachment_17303" align="alignright" width="207"]Garcia is well known for his contagious smile and passion for his dogs.[/caption]Mental Connection and Communication:True ring presence comes from a deep mental bond. Diego talks about the power of talking to your dogs on the table and in the ring, praising them so they feel like the absolute best version of themselves.Taking the Longer Way:True success and peace of mind come from taking the longer path of hard work, integrity and ethical handling. Diego stresses the importance of being a good loser, staying grateful for every placement and leaving negative talk behind.Reminiscing on Legends of the Sport:Diego and Laura reflect on iconic judges and mentors who shaped the sport, including Michelle Billings, Frank Sabella, Alberto Berrios, Annie Clark, Jean Fournier, Asa Mays, and beloved handler Kaz Hosaka.Handler Well-Being and Dog Show Yoga:Navigating ring stress, anxiety and the physical demands of handling. Diego shares how yoga and meditation helped him manage burnout, advocating for post-show relaxation sessions to help handlers reset.Passing the Torch to Youth:A call to action for experienced handlers and breeders to mentor owner-handlers and junior exhibitors, share grooming and handling tips freely, and lift up the community.

“Send Coach John a message”I found a post from Coach the Coaches (@WinningCoaches) that gave us a few items that would be good for us to remember.  “Rember that… Hard Work is a Choice, Attitude is a Choice, Discipline is a Choice, Doing Extra is a Choice, and Excellence is a Choice.” ~ Allistair McCaw.    When I saw this post, I was connected to it right away in that I've been having more and more moments where I'm connecting more and more to my mental awareness with things I need to do.  Each and every one of these (and more), are things I need to be and want to be, aware of more and doing more with them.  Holding myself a bit more accountable is what I need to do along with not beating myself up as much.  It's worth it every day to keep trying with these, my friends.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this episode of The Mojo Method Podcast, we tackle a common misconception in fitness: a good workout has to leave you completely exhausted, drenched in sweat, or sore for days.But soreness isn't progress. Calories burned aren't the scorecard. And lying on the floor after every workout doesn't necessarily mean you're getting fitter.We break down the difference between exercise and training, what coaches mean by the “intended stimulus,” and why different days are supposed to feel different. We also talk about the temptation to always do more, why recovery is part of the process, and how scaling and RPE help you get the right dose of training for the day.Most importantly, we give you a better way to answer the question: “Was that a good workout?”Because anyone can write a workout that makes you tired.Great training makes you better.Hard Work. High Fives. Good Vibes.

Former NFL linebacker Anthony Trucks breaks down why changing your life requires changing your identity first. Anthony explains why real transformation comes through experience, how doing difficult things builds confidence, why most people retreat into comfort, and the “dark work” required to become the person capable of achieving the life you want. He also shares lessons from playing for the Pittsburgh Steelers and what Mike Tomlin taught him about discipline, leadership, and mastering the small things.Anthony also reveals how he became a highly sought-after keynote speaker, how great speakers command a room, and how he turns speaking engagements into long-term business opportunities. From outgrowing your current tribe to overcoming limiting beliefs around money and success, this conversation explores what actually separates people who continually level up from those who stay stuck in the same version of themselves.Curious to learn more about Anthony's Dark Work platform?

I started a podcast so when I see something slightly annoying on the internet I have a place to complain about it.

At 86 years old, Alice Lajoie has lived through a remarkable amount of change, but some of the things she values most have remained surprisingly constant: family, faith, hard work, humor, and showing up for the people you love. In this episode of Conversations with a Chiropractor, Dr. Stephanie Wautier sits down with Alice for a warm trip through more than eight decades of life in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. From growing up in Ishpeming as one of eleven children to becoming one of the women who worked at the historic H.W. Gossard factory, Alice offers a glimpse into a UP that looked very different from the one we know today. The conversation eventually turns to marriage, motherhood, loss, aging, and the family Alice and her husband Bobby built over nearly 65 years together. There are funny memories, difficult ones, and plenty of moments that reveal just how much history can live inside one person's ordinary life. Most of all, it is a conversation about gratitude, resilience, and the stories worth preserving while we still have the opportunity to ask.

Plus, Bryan covers a new laser weapon slashing cartel drone incursions by 75% on the southern border, an escalating tit-for-tat between the US and Iran in the Strait of Hormuz, a populist AfD landslide in Germany, and new data showing Sweden's deportation-focused immigration crackdown cut shootings by 77%.

Kgomotso Modise, standing in for Clement Manyathela, speaks with Group CEO of Leagas Delaney South Africa, Ray Langa, about a thought-provoking piece he has written titled “The Field is not Level”, in which he challenges the idea that hard work operates on a level playing field. His argument is not that hard work doesn’t matter. In fact, he is very clear that it does. His point is that effort produces different outcomes depending on where you start. The Clement Manyathela Show is broadcast on 702, a Johannesburg based talk radio station, weekdays from 09:00 to 12:00 (SA Time). Clement Manyathela starts his show each weekday on 702 at 9 am taking your calls and voice notes on his Open Line.

David Senra: Read the notes at at podcastnotes.org. Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Doug Leone spent 26 years helping lead Sequoia Capital through successive eras of technological change. Born in Italy, he came to the United States without speaking English and carried the insecurity of an outsider into his career. That fear became fuel: whenever he felt himself falling behind, he forced himself to start over. After stepping down from Sequoia at 65 to make room for the next generation, he returned four years later. Now he considers himself a low-level analyst again, racing to understand an AI revolution that he believes is rewriting business more radically than anything he has seen before. Leone explains the three questions he asks before making an investment: Would he put his children's money into it? If he could make only 20 investments in his life, would this be one of them? Could it return the entire fund? He is interested only in extreme outliers—companies capable of returning 100 times the original investment—and says the biggest mistake venture investors make is selling their winners too early. Sequoia once owned enormous stakes in Apple, Cisco, Google and NVIDIA, but even the greatest investors failed to anticipate how long exceptional companies could continue compounding. His role as an investor is not to shape a founder's technology. It is to help turn a product into a business: recruiting the first team, building sales and marketing, navigating crucible moments and preserving the founder as the soul of the company. He describes backing David Vélez before Nubank existed, what Fred Luddy's unusual ServiceNow pitch revealed about him and why Sequoia looks for the same qualities in founders and its own partners: a hypercompetitive person with a heart of gold. Leone also discusses trust as the accelerant that makes business move quickly. Trust requires both competence and good intentions, and it is earned by helping founders when they are most vulnerable. He explains why founders should architect their boards as carefully as their products, why productive disagreement is different from argument and how to deliver difficult feedback so it can actually be heard. He closes with lessons from his longtime partner Michael Moritz: listen to the exact words people choose, put the other person first and always ask what a company could become if everything goes right.

In this episode of The Mojo Method Podcast, we break down RPE—Rate of Perceived Exertion—and why we use it in training at CrossFit Mojo.How hard should an RPE 7 actually feel? Why use RPE instead of simply prescribing percentages? And does every workout need to feel like a 10 out of 10?We discuss how RPE helps you adjust training based on how you're performing that day, understand when to push and when to hold back, and develop a better awareness of your own body. We also explore how RPE applies differently to strength work, conditioning, and max-effort days—and why constantly training at RPE 10 isn't necessarily the fastest way to get fitter.Because becoming a better athlete isn't just about learning how to work hard.It's learning how hard to work.Hard Work. High Fives. Good Vibes.

Robby, Dr. Dwayne Carson, and their guests share stories of hard work, family, perseverance, and learning to find balance between labor and rest.The conversation also looks at what Scripture teaches about working "as unto the Lord," building our faith through diligent study, and using our workplaces as opportunities to be a light for Christ.

Karol Markowicz sits down with Zachary Kussin, real estate editor at the New York Post, for a wide-ranging conversation about journalism, New York City real estate, personal style, resilience, and the value of embracing who you really are. Kussin shares the unlikely story of how a Craigslist job posting helped launch his journalism career, eventually leading him from The Real Deal to the New York Post. He explains what makes real estate reporting such a unique beat and how years of hard work, unexpected opportunities, and a little luck shaped his career. The conversation also turns personal as Kussin recounts losing nearly everything when a seven-alarm fire tore through his New York City apartment building. The experience gave him an opportunity to rebuild—not just his home, but a space that genuinely reflected his personality, travels, and lifelong love of antiques, vintage jewelry, fashion, and design. Karol and Zachary discuss growing more confident with age, finding your people, developing meaningful relationships, pursuing unconventional passions, and refusing to change yourself simply to fit other people's expectations. Kussin also shares his philosophy for living a happier life: embrace adventure, pursue what genuinely interests you, take chances even when you don't know the outcome, and have the confidence to be yourself.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
