As another year closes, we're taking a gentler approach to New Year's thinking. In this special episode, Ben is joined by familiar voices from across the year and a hint of who's to come in 2026 - as he sits down with clinicians, creators, advocates and friends of The Hidden 20% to talk about goals, not resolutions.From Dr Renata Fialho to Shahroo Izadi, Céin McGillicuddy, Dr Alison Lennox, Dr Josephine Neale and Tony Lloyd, each guest reflects on what they're carrying forward into 2026 and what they're intentionally leaving behind.Together, we unpack why “resolutions” can feel loaded, deficit-focused and unrealistic for neurodivergent brains, and why goals rooted in compassion, flexibility and self-trust tend to work better.This is a calm, grounding end-of-year listen - focused less on fixing yourself, and more on meeting yourself where you are.From all of us at The Hidden 20%, thank you for your support this year - we'll see you in 2026.

Do you take the time, even a few moments, to look back at the year that is coming to a close? We did. Good friends Amy DeFehr, Mary Ann Mariani and I took some inventory from this year - like our favorite memories (time with family, travel, a big move), biggest challenges (a child's anxiety, marital speed bumps, a desire to teach) and something we tried for the first time (going to a conference alone, giving a eulogy, going on a girls trip). Reflecting is a great way to learn and to keep growing forward. Next we thought about the upcoming year - areas that need more focus, things we want to do, and our word for the year. It was an empowering way to kick off the new year envisioning what we want, the work we want to do, and the people we want to continue to grow into being.

Everyone's walking into 2026 swinging for the fences—revenue targets, scale plans, product launches, board expectations. But almost nobody is stopping to ask the single question that determines if any of it actually works: Are we aligned enough to survive our own goals?This episode breaks down the concept of an Alignment Audit—not as a buzzword, but as a diagnostic system. We dig into why organizations consistently miss targets not because the strategy is wrong, but because the relationships, behaviors, hiring logic, capital preservation mindset, and execution rhythms are misaligned across levels. From ICs to board members. From CROs to the most recent new hire.We walk through the hard truth:Lofty goals without alignment are a financial liability, not ambition.Mishiring cycles aren't just “bad fits”—they're capital leaks.Revenue isn't just math—it's behavioral infrastructure.Output readiness isn't just process—it's culture in motion.If Q1 2026 is make-or-break for your org, this episode argues there's nothing more important right now than diagnosing before you scale. This is the year where alignment becomes a revenue strategy, not a soft skill.Straight talk, executive tone, no sugar-coating. Just clarity on what it will actually take for companies to hit their 2026 claims without burning capital, burning people, or burning time.This is The Business of Alignment.

You feel busy all the time. You're watching blogging tutorials before work, saving Instagram posts about content strategy during lunch, taking notes on email marketing courses after dinner. You're exhausted from all the effort. So why does your blog look exactly the same as it did a year ago? Why is your email list still stuck? Why haven't you launched that digital product yet?This episode reveals the formula that took me from 847 saved screenshots and zero dollars to consistent $13K months as a full-time blogger. It's not complicated. It's not some elaborate system that requires a hundred-dollar course to understand. But it will challenge everything you've been taught about how blog growth and online business success actually work.I'm breaking down the exact ratio of where your energy should go, and I'm willing to bet you have it almost perfectly inverted. Most bloggers spend 70% of their time learning about SEO, Pinterest strategy, affiliate marketing, and list building, 20% planning their content calendar, and maybe 10% actually creating blog posts, writing emails, or building offers. I'm going to show you why flipping that ratio changed everything for me, and how you can flip yours too.Fair warning: I'm going to ask you to audit your own time. And what you discover might be uncomfortable.In this episode:The 50/20/15/10/5 Formula that transformed my blogging businessWhy the smartest women often have the most inverted ratiosThe truth about consistency and persistence that nobody talks about (because it doesn't sell courses)What happened when I tracked my time with brutal honestyHow I went from endless consumption to $13K months monetizing my blog in six monthsWhy you probably already know enough about blog traffic, email marketing, and passive income to succeed right nowReady to flip your ratio with someone in your corner?Blog Execution Manager Plus gives you done-for-you blog assets, email sequences, lead magnets, sales pages, and a complete content roadmap so you can finally focus on execution instead of endless learning.Learn more: www.bossladybloggers.com/blog-execution-manager

Playoff hopes dim after chaotic ending The Detroit Lions saw their playoff hopes fade in a 29-24 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. The finish twisted the knife. Detroit appeared to score on the final snap. The celebration died when offensive pass interference wiped it away. The call, tied to Amon-Ra St. Brown, turned a stunning comeback into an empty box score. The moment fit the day. Frustration. Confusion. Missed chances. This loss stings because it was there to take. The Steelers were banged up. The Lions did not capitalize. Detroit's offense sputtered on the ground. The defense broke late. In the NFL, that combination loses you games in December. Officiating confusion and accountability The officiating crew, led by Carl Cheffers, lost the plot in the final sequence. Communication failed on the field. Players and coaches were left guessing. Letter of the law, the offensive pass interference on St. Brown can be called. Process matters too. It did not look like the crew controlled the situation or explained it. That erodes trust. Earlier, an offensive pass interference flag on Isaac TeSlaa compounded the angst. TeSlaa was pushed by a defensive back into another defender, which triggered the foul. That nuance mattered. Detroit paid for the savvy by Pittsburgh. Calls like these underscore a bigger NFL problem. Transparency is lagging. The league needs an eye-in-the-sky voice. It needs clear, real-time explanations. With gambling tied into every broadcast, the room for opaque officiating is gone. Run game stalls, defense cracks late The Detroit Lions run game vanished. David Montgomery had four carries for 14 yards. His longest went for 17, which means the rest lost three yards. Jameer Gibbs had seven carries for two yards. His longest was six. The other six lost four yards. Jared Goff lost a yard on a designed run. That is a non-starter for a Detroit offense built on balance. It is more galling given Pittsburgh's injuries. No T.J. Watt. No Nick Herbig. Cornerbacks rotating. The Lions offensive line was makeshift, but the execution fell short. Detroit could not move bodies or sustain tracks. The Steelers defensive front won too many snaps on first down. The sticks flipped, and the playbook shrank. Defensively, Detroit blinked in the biggest moments. Two long Jaylen Warren runs in the fourth quarter tilted the field and the clock. Those gap fits must be airtight. They were not. The Lions did not play well enough to overcome that, even without the officiating swirl. Short week to Christmas kickoff An abbreviated week now looms. The Detroit Lions play again on Christmas. The locker room has to flush this and find urgency. The margin is gone. The path is narrow. What remains is pride, correction, and sharper detail. The Detroit Lions Podcast daily notes it plainly. Detroit must own the self-inflicted wounds, demand clarity from the league, and run the ball when it matters. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=04GqVJ-4R4s #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #amon-rast.brown #offensivepassinterference #carlcheffers #isaacteslaa #davidmontgomery #jameergibbs #jaredgoff #jaylenwarren #t.j.watt #nickherbig Learn more about your ad choices.
