Today, we’re revisiting a quietly complex part of the stewardship journey—what I call “the weight of wealth.” Growing up on a farm with five brothers, I was introduced to the outdoors and especially backpacking. Just like carrying a pack in the wilderness, managing wealth carries its own kind of weight—ratios, balance, capacity—and no universal formula fits everyone. We’ll look at five subtle signs that your wealth may be weighing you down, and four faithful steps to help you find your footing again. At the heart of it all is Proverbs 30:7-9, a prayer for just enough—not too much, and not too little.  This isn’t about guilt or fear - it’s about freedom. It's about carrying what you've been given with open hands and a steady heart. In this episode, John discusses:  The surprising parallels between backpacking and managing wealth Why financial strain is often more spiritual than practical How to recognize when your wealth is 'managing you' Key Takeaways: Managing wealth is a lot like carrying a backpack on a long trail—there’s no universal weight limit, but knowing your capacity and staying aware of when the load gets too heavy is essential to walking well. When financial concerns start overshadowing your generosity, peace, or spiritual focus, it’s a sign that wealth may be shaping your priorities more than God’s wisdom is. Prayer isn’t just a support tool for financial decisions—it’s the foundation that keeps your heart steady, your perspective clear, and your hands open to whatever God provides or redirects. Bringing others into your financial journey—wise counselors, trusted advisors, or Kingdom-minded mentors—can lighten the load and help you carry wealth with clarity, confidence, and grace. “If you begin to feel a wealth hotspot, if you begin to feel financial strain in your life from the wealth that you have - there may be strain in your friendships, strain in your marriage, strain in your family, strain at work, whatever it may be - as soon as you feel this wealth hotspot forming, stop immediately and deal with it.”     CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!   VISIT MONEY MADE FAITHFUL: https://moneymadefaithful.com/   GET FREE RESOURCES when you join THE HUB: https://moneymadefaithful.com/resource-library-access/Landing-page   BOOK A WORKSHOP & DETAILS: https://moneymadefaithful.com/money-made-faithful-workshop-2/Landing-page   INVITE JOHN TO SPEAK at your conference, church, or event:  https://moneymadefaithful.com/services   SPECIAL SAVINGS ON JOHN'S BOOK, 'He Spends She Spends' and the small group guide: https://moneymadefaithful.com/shop   FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: @MoneyMadeFaithful   FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @MoneyMadeFaithful   If this blessed you today, please Subscribe, Leave a Review, and Share with someone who you believe will benefit from this message!  

In this episode of the Art of the Session series, I walk you through a phase of the play therapy process that's often overlooked—what happens on the way to the playroom. This moment may feel small, but it holds tremendous power to reinforce the child's sense of autonomy, predictability, and safety. I share how empowerment choices—offered consistently and predictably during the walk back—set the tone for the session and become a ritual that communicates "You are in control here." I offer real-life examples of how to work these choices into your routine, even if you're in a school, office building, or don't have a sink nearby. Whether it's picking a hallway, choosing which sanitizer to use, or deciding how to travel to the playroom (hopping, skipping, or sliding in socks), these micro-moments become powerful anchors of trust and consistency. This episode helps you refine the seemingly simple transitions into meaningful therapeutic opportunities.

In this episode, I answer a question from Orla in Ireland about what to do when a child says they don't want to come to therapy anymore—and how to communicate that to parents. I break down two case examples and explain why child-led termination isn't reliable in CCPT, especially early in treatment. More often than not, these moments reflect resistance rather than readiness, and they can surface in any phase of therapy. I walk through the clinical criteria we use to determine true readiness for termination, share specific ways to guide parents through resistance and avoidance, and offer practical tips on structuring expectations using 5-session increments. I also talk about the importance of preserving the therapeutic relationship, even when kids push back. If you've ever felt unsure about how to advise families during the messy middle of the work, this episode will help you feel more confident and clear in your CCPT decision-making.

In this episode, I respond to a thoughtful question from Dearbhla in Ireland about working with a 12-year-old client who prefers to talk rather than engage in traditional play. As children get older, CCPT sessions often look different—more conversational, more cognitive, and more activity-based. I explore how this developmental stage influences the nature of the session and why talking, even about seemingly mundane topics, is still meaningful. I also offer reassurance that when we stay true to the model—providing presence, acceptance, and relationship without pressure or agenda—we're doing exactly what the child needs. If you've ever wondered whether “just talking” in session is enough, or felt the pull to “do more,” this episode is your reminder to trust the process, trust the child, and trust the model.

In this episode, I answer a question from Hope in Kentucky about incorporating parents into the CCPT process. Her case involved a foster mom participating in session—and the outcome revealed why that's not aligned with the CCPT model. I explain how parent presence in the playroom introduces variables that compromise neutrality, undermine the therapeutic relationship, and make it difficult for children to fully engage in the process. I also walk through the three-step limit-setting process and clarify how children experience limits when they're set without neutrality or unconditional positive regard. This episode serves as both a case consultation and a broader conversation about how we engage parents—highlighting why CPRT and filial work must remain separate from CCPT sessions. When we preserve the model, we preserve the child's freedom, safety, and capacity for growth. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

In this episode, I respond to a thoughtful question from Cassie in North Carolina about integrative play therapy and the belief that there's no “one size fits all” approach. As a CCPT purist, I explain why I believe in full adherence to a single theoretical model and why integration—though well-intentioned—can dilute effectiveness, undermine empirical support, and blur the therapeutic process. I lay out the research supporting non-directive, humanistic models like CCPT and explain why choosing one model and sticking to it isn't just a preference—it's a clinical responsibility. I also share how theoretical alignment leads to better outcomes for children, greater confidence for therapists, and a clearer framework for ethical and effective practice. This is an episode for anyone wrestling with theoretical commitment or wondering if their integrative approach is truly serving their clients.

As summer shines bright, it’s a perfect time to pause, reflect, and realign. Midyear often lands us in the messy middle—but what if we brought a little Christmas joy to the Summer season? In this refreshed replay, we’re unwrapping a “Christmas in July” perspective to help you revisit your financial goals with renewed clarity and purpose. Whether the year has flown by or felt heavy with unexpected turns, this conversation offers a thoughtful, Christ-centered reset to help you finish strong! In this episode, John discusses: Why midyear is a powerful checkpoint for financial reflection The importance of revising plans in light of real life How to keep your goals aligned with faith and purpose Three practical steps to reflect, revise, and refocus Key Takeaways: Taking time to reflect midyear gives you space to acknowledge progress, recognize what still needs attention, and reconnect with the heart behind your goals. Revising your financial plans allows you to adapt to life’s inevitable changes while staying grounded in a purpose that reflects your current season and needs. Realigning your goals with your faith and God's greater story helps ensure your financial journey is not just productive, but also deeply meaningful and spiritually aligned. Simplifying and refocusing your financial priorities can clear the clutter, ease the pressure, and help you move forward with clarity, confidence, and peace. “We want to leave room for God to move.

In this episode of the Art of the Session summer series, I talk about one of the most overlooked parts of the CCPT process—our relationship with parents. While we spend most of our time and training focusing on the therapeutic relationship with the child, we often miss the weekly opportunity to build rapport, trust, and connection with the parents in the lobby. But those 10 to 15 minutes before and after sessions can make all the difference in client retention, parent satisfaction, and overall outcomes. I share what it looks like to authentically engage with parents week after week—not as a formality, but as part of the therapeutic process. From appropriate self-disclosure to remembering the details of their lives, these micro-interactions build a sense of trust and care that parents carry with them. In fact, when they leave reviews, they rarely mention the clinical gains. They talk about how I made them feel—heard, supported, and understood. That's the power of relationship. And in CCPT, it applies to the entire family system. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

There's a third kind of shortcut, though, that I want us to think about today. It's the kind of shortcut that comes with experience. I remember when I was learning to sew and following all the directions very carefully so that I wouldn't mess up. I even learned which pattern companies had the clearest directions, and which seemed to presume that I knew more than I did, so there were steps missing. Those missing steps weren't shortcuts, per se; they were just knowledge that a more experienced sewer would have.  One day, I watched a professional seamstress start to cut out a dress. She was making a concert dress for me, and I was excited to watch her start on it while I could watch. What turned out to be an even bigger thrill was to see that instead of painstakingly pinning the pattern onto the cloth, the way I learned in Home Ec class, she just laid a few weights on the pattern to hold it lightly in place and cut around it. What a shortcut and a timesaver! And why had I never thought of that? Of course, I had never thought of that because I didn't have the experience and the confidence that comes with that experience to see that as a possibility. I was still following the directions, step by step. That step-by-step method was an important part of my learning, because it showed me what was necessary to get the best result. It wasn't necessary to pin every pattern piece in place. It was necessary to lay out the pieces on the cloth correctly and to cut them carefully; the pins were a helpful tool, when you needed it, but not strictly necessary.    Harp playing has those kinds of shortcuts too. There are practice and learning strategies that are important at some stages of our harp journey that we can rethink and adapt as we gain more mastery. If we cling to our old learning habits too long, we end up slowing our progress and growth.  So today, I want to help you learn about harp shortcuts, not specific shortcuts, although I'll mention a few, but how to look for and discover the shortcuts that could make a difference for you right now. This is about using your experience and your knowledge from all the harp playing you've done to help you learn faster, practice more effectively and play more confidently. It's about making it easier, and who wouldn't want that?

When you're writing, it's easy to get stuck chasing perfection. But here's the truth: the first draft is just the beginning—the real transformation happens in revision. Giving yourself permission to be imperfect is what makes progress possible. The messy middle, the rewrites, the second-guessing—that's where the book (and the author) truly take shape. I'm living this right now as I wrap up edits on my fourth book, “LAUNCH Your Book! An Entrepreneur's Guide to Reviews That Drive Revenue,” set to launch in July 2025. Want a behind-the-scenes look at how I turn a book into a business asset? Join my book launch team at www.BookLaunchBrainstorm.com. Today, we'll hear from authors about their journey from blank page to published book. Bridgett McGowen-Hawkins co-wrote “Do Not Write a Book...Until You Read This One: The Only Guide You Need to Pen, Publish, and Profit from Your Nonfiction Book,”  a no-nonsense, empowering guide that helps aspiring nonfiction authors navigate the publishing process with confidence.  Robert Aguilar wrote “Forget What You Know About Strategy: The Hazards of Strategic Planning,” a powerful guide for senior leaders seeking to master strategy formulation and execution, offering real-world insights to avoid pitfalls and drive transformative change in today's fast-paced business landscape. Sophie Lechner wrote “Unlock Your Impact: The Roadmap to Magnetic Client Attraction for Entrepreneurs Who Hate Marketing,” a refreshing guide for mission-driven entrepreneurs who want to attract clients naturally—by leading with purpose instead of self-promotion—and transform marketing from a dreaded task into a joyful extension of their impact.

Summer is in full swing—a time filled with sunshine, shifting schedules, and all sorts of new opportunities. But as routines relax and plans pile up, it’s easy for our financial focus to fade without us even realizing it. In this refreshed replay, we’re returning to a timely and practical conversation that really resonated with the Money Made Faithful community. We’re sharing three scripture-anchored tips to help you stay on track with your finances during the summer months so you can enjoy the season while still honoring your financial goals and your faith. In this episode, John discusses: Three simple, biblical strategies to help you navigate summer money choices with purpose Why summer often challenges even the best financial plans—and how to stay grounded How aligning your money choices with biblical wisdom brings peace, clarity, and impact Key Takeaways: Recognize how easily summer’s busyness and unpredictability can pull you off track. Building awareness—of your spending habits, current financial standing, and upcoming expenses—is the first step toward staying focused and faithful. Set clear, meaningful financial goals that reflect both your immediate needs and your long-term vision. By reviewing and adjusting your budget consistently, you can stay on mission—even when summer throws you a curveball. Make every financial decision count by choosing intentionally and resisting the impulse to spend without thought. Budgeting with purpose reflects your values, strengthens your faith journey, and allows you to be a good steward of what God has entrusted to you. Let scripture shape your summer decisions. When your financial plans grow from biblical truth, you’ll find yourself navigating this summer season with a sense of alignment, purpose, and gratitude—putting first things first and honoring God along the way. “Every financial decision, even in the sun and fun of summer, is an opportunity to honor God and steward the blessings that He has given you.”   CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!   VISIT MONEY MADE FAITHFUL: https://moneymadefaithful.com/   GET FREE RESOURCES when you join THE HUB: https://moneymadefaithful.com/resource-library-access/Landing-page   BOOK A WORKSHOP & DETAILS: https://moneymadefaithful.com/money-made-faithful-workshop-2/Landing-page   INVITE JOHN TO SPEAK at your conference, church, or event:  https://moneymadefaithful.com/services   SPECIAL SAVINGS ON JOHN'S BOOK, 'He Spends She Spends' and the small group guide: https://moneymadefaithful.com/shop   FOLLOW US ON FACEBOOK: @MoneyMadeFaithful   FOLLOW US ON INSTAGRAM: @MoneyMadeFaithful   If this blessed you today, please Subscribe, Leave a Review, and Share with someone who you believe will benefit from this message!

 Ever feel like you're just not doing enough – even when you're flat-out exhausted? Maybe you wonder why it's still so hard even after all the tools you've learned as a Highly Sensitive Person? In this episode of SelfKind - a podcast for Highly Sensitive People - I'm sharing a personal story that might feel really familiar.After a tough couple of weeks (hello, sick kids and emotional overload), I found myself saying something that really made me pause: “At least I don't hate myself anymore.” In this episode, I'm diving into what that meant, why self-compassion continues to be the most transformative tool I use (and teach), and what it really looks like when we stop trying to perfect our self-care and just be human instead.If you've ever felt like your emotions are “too much” or struggled to meet yourself with kindness in the messy reality of living a human life, this one's for you.⭐️ About your host, Erica Webb:Erica Webb is a registered counsellor, somatic exercise coach and highly sensitive person. She supports other highly sensitive people to discover their sensitivity superpowers and more confidently navigate the tricky bits of being a sensitive person in an often insensitive world.

In this first episode of the Art of the Session summer series, I walk through one of the most essential components of effective CCPT work: the playroom itself. I share the practical, intentional choices that make a playroom therapeutic—including size, layout, toy categories, visual neutrality, and why predictability matters more than decoration. I also break down what permissiveness really requires: accessible, inviting, and affordable toys that don't need protection. From dollhouses to sandboxes, this episode is your go-to guide for creating a space that upholds the core values of CCPT and removes barriers to healing. Whether you're building your playroom from scratch or making the most of a borrowed storage closet, this conversation will help you return to the heart of why the environment matters so much.

June 20th marks World Refugee Day. The number of refugees worldwide has doubled from the year 2015 through 2025. Doaa Al Zamel is a Syrian refugee who fled her home country over a decade ago.

In this special edition of The Hub, Wang Guan discusses with them the issue of refugees.

In this episode of What's Best For The Patient Is Best For Business, Jerry sits down with Matt Byrne, Executive Director for Provider Partnerships at FIGUR8, Inc., to discuss the untapped potential of workers' compensation in physical therapy—and why ignoring this market could be a costly mistake. FIGUR8 provides the first FDA-registered, objective musculoskeletal (MSK) assessment tool, replacing outdated subjective methods and driving better patient outcomes.Matt challenges the common misconceptions about workers' comp, revealing why it's one of the highest-paying and most underserved segments in PT. With 900,000+ MSK claims annually—each costing employers $35K–$65K—he breaks down how clinics can leverage objective data to streamline care, reduce claim costs, and attract referrals from the many key stakeholders involved with workers' comp claims.Key Takeaways:• Workers' Comp Is a $1.35B Opportunity: At 12 visits per claim and $125/visit, this market is ripe for clinics willing to embrace it.• Data = Leverage: FIGUR8's technology replaces guesswork with biomechanical insights, justifying care plans and speeding up return-to-work timelines.• Better Payer Mix, Fewer Patients: Workers' comp reimburses higher than Medicare and commercial insurance—meaning clinics can increase revenue while seeing fewer patients.• Stop the Staffing Shortage Myth: Optimizing payer mix (e.g., shifting from 3% to 10% workers' comp) can ease clinician burnout and boost margins.• The "Hub-and-Spoke" Model: Hire one dedicated workers' comp PT to train staff and oversee high-value services (e.g., functional capacity exams billed at $800–$1,200 each).If you're tired of chasing shrinking reimbursements and want a proven way to serve your community and your bottom line, this episode is your wake-up call.

The hardest decision any leader must make is when to ultimately call it quits on an employee. It is a gut wrenching process that cannot be taken lightly. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss the importance of giving a team member every opportunity to be successful, and it is important for the practice leader to consider changing the person's roles and responsibilities to better fit his or her strengths. However, when all options fail, a practice leader must make a decision to part ways with the employee. Listen in to hear all of the thought processes behind this grueling decision. Previous Episodes Worth Revisiting: When to Coach and When to Fire Underperforming EmployeesHow to Fire Employees

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, host Karl Bryan flies solo and dives into listener questions on how to break through overwhelm, stay focused while building a coaching business, and ensure long-term client retention. Karl shares real-life coaching stories, mindset strategies, and tactical frameworks—including the famous “Florida Keys” treasure analogy—to help coaches gain clarity, set bigger goals, and stop self-sabotaging. He offers advice on eliminating distractions, designing irresistible value for clients, and using powerful frameworks to multiply productivity without burning out. Key Topics Covered Overcoming Overwhelm & Getting Focused Karl tackles the all-too-common struggle of “too many things to do,” revealing how to anchor motivation in long-term, compelling goals rather than day-to-day tasks. He draws on coaching conversations and wisdom from Tony Robbins—encouraging business coaches to design a “ridiculously monstrous, compelling future” that pulls them forward. Creating Powerful Intentions & Eliminating Distractions He unpacks the importance of intentionality over mere activity. Coaches must shift from operating towards their goals to operating from their goals. The size and clarity of your objectives directly shape your daily discipline—and whether your long-term or short-term self wins the daily battles. The Florida Keys Story – Belief, Tenacity & Worthiness Karl shares the Mel Fisher treasure-hunt parable: most coaches (and business owners) ask three core questions—Is it there? Am I the one to succeed? Will it be worth it?—and only those resolutely answering “Yes” endure setbacks to ultimately win. How to Add Real Value & Extend Client Retention Instead of just “adding more” (calls, homework, videos), Karl recommends focusing on distinctions—needle-moving insights and frameworks that compound results. He explains the Jumpstart 12 system, offers call-structure hacks (including shorter, more focused sessions), and reminds coaches that keeping clients isn't about time, but about tangible profit acceleration. Mindset Mastery: Embracing Suffering & Building Wisdom Karl's Zen lesson: suffering is the path to greatness, not something to be avoided. The willingness to fail, take imperfect action, and “shed skin” is what separates high performers from those stuck on the sidelines. Notable Quotes “You don't have a client problem, you don't have a money problem, you have a refusal to help people before they pay you problem.” “Operate from your goals, not towards your goals.” “If you have powerful goals, you will have powerful intentions.” “Focus is not focus. The way to get focused is to eliminate distractions, tasks, or even clients.” “Suffering is your path to your greatness. Diamonds are created under insane heat and pressure.” “Small hinges swing big doors—work on the needle-movers, not the busywork.” Actionable Takeaways Dream Bigger and Get Specific: Anchor yourself and your clients to a monstrous, compelling vision of the future—something worth pushing through obstacles for. Eliminate to Accelerate: Focus comes from subtracting tasks, projects, or even problematic clients. Use frameworks like the Jumpstart 12 to guide your priorities. Shorter, Smarter Calls: Switch to 30-minute sessions with supporting videos for maximum impact and efficiency—it's about insights, not meeting length. Serve Before You Sell: Embrace the mindset that your first job is to help—often before payment. This builds trust and long-term relationships. Embrace the Hard Stuff: Growth lies in suffering and setbacks. Don't fear mistakes or quitting—use those feelings to reignite your purpose and drive. Focus on Profit Acceleration: If you want to retain clients for years, make sure you aren't just coaching for the sake of it. Use proven frameworks to drive up profitability—it's the surest way to lasting relationships.

In this final episode of the CCPT Mindset series, I wrap up with one of the most foundational shifts we must make as child-centered play therapists: moving from doing to being. I explore how the pressure to “do it right” in session—say the right thing, follow the right steps, get the right outcome—keeps us stuck in a performance mindset that actually undermines the very heart of the model. Instead, I walk through what a being posture looks and feels like in the playroom: calm, grounded, attuned, and fully present. I talk about how our presence—more than our techniques—is the true intervention in CCPT. This episode is an invitation to reflect on how we show up with children and how we care for ourselves so that who we are supports healing, growth, and authentic relationship.

We’re wrapping up our series on how to have your best vacation ever. We’ve already covered the power of setting and sharing expectations, along with eight intentional steps to make your time away more meaningful. But what happens when tech distractions sneak in and start to steal those special moments? In this episode, we’re revisiting five practical tech tips to help you stay focused on what really matters during your vacation. A few thoughtful boundaries can go a long way toward keeping your attention—and your heart—right where it belongs. In this episode, John discusses: Setting clear boundaries for technology use Using digital tools without letting them take over Modeling intentional tech habits for others Capturing memories creatively without relying on phones Getting active to help minimize screen time Key Takeaways: Designate specific times and areas where phones and devices are off-limits—like meals, game time, or evenings. These tech-free zones help protect face-to-face connection and make space for deeper conversations. Schedule intentional moments for using phones—whether it’s snapping photos, checking in with friends, or finding local spots to explore—so tech use stays purposeful, not constant. Lead by example when it comes to phone habits. Others, especially kids, will often mirror what they see, so your own behavior can gently shape the group’s overall tech use. Bring along a digital or disposable camera to encourage creativity without defaulting to your phone. It adds fun to memory-making and invites everyone to see the trip from a different perspective. Plan active group moments that naturally draw attention away from screens—like a hike, a game, or a walk on the beach. Physical activity often creates space for presence, laughter, and lasting memories. “Stay prayerful, flexible, graceful, and kind. Even with preparations and expectations set and shared, and tech tips in place, and doing your best, a plan is still only a plan.”  Resources Mentioned: How Teens and Parents Approach Screen Time by Pew Research Center: https://www.pewresearch.org/internet/2024/03/11/how-teens-and-parents-approach-screen-time/ CLICK ON THE LINKS BELOW MORE MONEY MADE FAITHFUL!

Let's be honest—overnight flights aren't exactly the highlight of international travel. And if you're not one of those magical people who can sleep sitting upright (hi, not me!), the struggle to get rest and arrive feeling even slightly refreshed is real. In this episode, I'm sharing the carry-on essentials I swear by for surviving long-haul flights to Europe, New Zealand, Australia, and beyond. From sleep strategies to avoiding that icky airplane funk, I'll walk you through the five-part packing formula I've been fine-tuning over the years—designed to give you the best shot at landing rested and ready to start your trip. —>ORGANIZE your vacation plans before departure with a centralized HUB (only $99!)

The School as Hub model connects families with their school community from their child's birth to starting kindergarten and beyond. School officials and researchers say it helps families feel like they belong in their school, potentially leading to better attendance rates.

In this episode, I answer two great questions from Joy in Maryland. First, we talk about kids who spend most of their session playing with slime. I explain why that kind of repetitive play often falls into the competence theme and why it's important not to jump to conclusions until patterns emerge across sessions. I also highlight how subtle shifts—like reduced time spent with slime or changes in how it's used—can signal important progress. The second question is about when (or if) we refer a child out to other modalities like EMDR or ERP for phobias or trauma. I walk through my thinking on when to refer, how to manage parallel therapies ethically, and why CCPT is effective for both trauma and phobias—without needing specialized toys or supplemental approaches. This episode is all about staying grounded in the model, trusting the child, and letting CCPT do the work it's meant to do. PlayTherapyNow.com is my HUB for everything I do! playtherapynow.com.

It didn't take long for Dara Eskridge and Aaron Williams to spring into action after a deadly tornado ripped through parts of north St. Louis. Eskridge and Williams helped lead the 4TheVille Hub, which provided critical supplies and housing stabilization to people throughout north St. Louis. Both Eskridge and Williams have deep ties to the community: Eskridge is the CEO of InvestSTL, which helps financially support neighborhood development initiatives. And Williams is President of 4TheVille, a nonprofit group that aims to preserve and expand the cultural history of several north St. Louis neighborhoods. The Hub shut down earlier this month, prompting both Eskridge and Williams to reflect during a St. Louis on the Air episode on the volunteer effort's impact – and how they plan to keep the assistance coming to tornado victims. This is the longer version of that conversation.

First impressions are everything, especially when welcoming a new employee to the team. Just as the leadership team is hoping that they struck gold with their new employee, the new team member is also hoping they risked everything for the right practice. So, these first few days and weeks are critical for setting the right tone and creating a welcoming experience. In this episode, Dr. Kuba and Bethany discuss her second location and the four new team members that she is currently bringing on board. She and Bethany talk about various ways to make the new team members feel welcome while also setting clear role and culture expectations. This episode is a must listen for all practice owners, managers, and team leads! Previous Episodes Worth Revisiting: The Basics of Team Building Thoughts on Employee Retention 

Have you ever made something and it turned out ok, but somehow it just didn't look right? Maybe you thought those two paint colors would go together, but now you're not sure. Or maybe the furniture arrangement in the living room looked great on paper but it sort of doesn't work now that you see everything in place. I think we've all had those moments. I had one not long ago with a photo I was doing. It wasn't quite right, but since I had to get it done, all I could do was to shrug and sign off on it, whether it was right or not. But if a piece of music we're working on doesn't sound right, we want to fix it, not forget it. I'm sure you know what I mean. You've been working hard on a piece. You muster up your courage to do a recording of it and after a lot of takes, you come up with one that you think is pretty good, without noticeable mistakes or hesitations. Then you listen to it, and something's not right. Is it too slow? Are you not making the dynamics clear? How come it doesn't sound the way it sounds in your head?  This is truly a challenging point, because it can be difficult to know the precise things you need to do to make the music sound the way you want. Assuming that the notes and the rhythms are correct and that you're playing reasonably expressively, what else is there? That's the question we're going to answer today. I'm going to identify three things that are essential to make any piece of music sound “right.” These three are the same whether you are playing a classical piece or a folk piece or a hymn or a pop tune. When each of these is in place, your piece will sound like you want it to. And the bonus is that you have choices. Every one of us harpists makes these choices, but you may not realize the power behind them. These choices are what makes one harpist's interpretation of a piece sound different from another harpist's, even though they both may be beautiful performances. My friend, you have the power to make your music sound right to you; all you need to do is exercise your freedom to choose.

In this episode, host Rob Wermuth is joined by Jason Frank, Chief Operating Officer at SpecterOps, to explore one of the most critical issues facing businesses today: cybersecurity. With a background in penetration testing, threat hunting, and enterprise security operations, Jason shares insights from years on the front lines of digital defense. They discuss the rise of ransomware, the impact of artificial intelligence on risk, and how zero trust models are reshaping security in a remote-first world. Jason breaks down complex topics into practical steps that business owners, especially those leading small to mid-sized companies, can act on today. From strengthening password protocols to implementing multi-factor authentication and managing identity risk, Jason offers clear, actionable advice. He also explains how tools like BloodHound can reveal vulnerabilities that often go unnoticed. Looking ahead, the conversation touches on balancing innovation with privacy, preparing the next generation of cybersecurity talent, and why an annually reviewed cyber action plan is essential to long-term business value. If you are thinking about how to better protect your organization, clients, and legacy in an increasingly digital world, this episode is filled with timely and practical guidance. ​​______________​​______________​​ Legacy Planning- 3440 Hamilton Blvd Allentown, PA 18103 and 228 W Gay Street West Chester, PA 19380  610-719-8600 www.legacy-online.com Legacy Planning offers securities and advisory services through Commonwealth Financial Network®, Member FINRA/SIPC, a Registered Investment Adviser.
