In today's episode, David Musnick dives into the concept of cognitive distortions, those faulty ways of thinking that can hold us back from healing and create barriers in our health journeys. Drawing on the influential work of Dr. David Burns, Dr. Musnick breaks down the most common cognitive distortions like negative forecasting, black-and-white thinking, labeling, and catastrophizing. You'll learn how these thought patterns manifest in patients, the impact they have on outcomes, and, most importantly, practical strategies to identify and counteract them in clinical practice or your own life.

In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD, a board-certified family physician and longevity doctor, to explore why fertility cannot be separated from whole-body health. After more than a decade in traditional primary care at UCLA Health, Dr. Timmons recognized how often the conventional system waits for disease rather than addressing the dysfunction beneath it. She now blends functional, precision, and longevity medicine to help her patients build true vitality from the inside out. We talk about why your terrain matters as much as any protocol, how gut health quietly drives inflammation and autoimmune conditions, and why so many seemingly unrelated symptoms trace back to a compromised gut lining. Dr. Timmons walks us through the role of leaky gut in fertility, the importance of blood sugar stability for egg and sperm quality, and the everyday lifestyle inputs that influence cellular health, including light exposure, circadian rhythm, time-restricted eating, and microplastic exposure. She also shares which longevity practices are accessible to everyone, why social connection turned out to be one of the strongest predictors of long life in Harvard research, and the simple food order and movement habits that move the needle most for metabolic health. This conversation is a thoughtful, grounded look at how to support the body so it can do what it already knows how to do. Key Takeaways: Fertility is a reflection of whole-body health, not an isolated system. Optimizing your terrain matters as much as any procedure or protocol. Gut health is foundational. Leaky gut and compromised intestinal lining can drive autoimmune conditions, inflammation, and impaired nutrient absorption, all of which affect fertility outcomes. Even a nutrient-rich diet cannot do its work if the gut barrier is inflamed. Healing the gut lining is often the missing piece in fertility preparation. Chronic inflammation is one of the biggest drivers of disease and reproductive dysfunction. Identifying and addressing inflammatory triggers can shift the entire picture. Blood sugar stability directly impacts egg and sperm quality. Simple shifts like eating fiber and protein before carbs, walking after meals, and avoiding late-night eating make a real difference. Light, circadian rhythm, and meal timing are powerful regulators of hormonal and cellular health. A simple 12-hour overnight fast offers measurable benefits without extreme restriction. Microplastics and environmental toxins are quietly impacting reproductive health. Fiber, NAC, sweating, and reducing plastic exposure all support your body's natural detox pathways. Longevity practices are accessible to everyone. Whole foods, movement, quality sleep, clean water, and strong social connection are the real foundations of a long, healthy life. Social connection is one of the strongest predictors of longevity, even more than diet or socioeconomic status in Harvard research. Community is medicine. Guest Bio: Dr. Jennifer Timmons, MD is a Longevity Physician and the Founder and Medical Director of Timmons Wellness, a concierge medical practice providing hyper-personalized healthcare. With over 10 years of experience practicing traditional primary care at UCLA Health, along with advanced training in Functional and Integrative Medicine, Precision Medicine, and Longevity Medicine, Dr. Timmons is committed to helping people enjoy longer, healthier lives through a customized care model. Her expertise includes hormone optimization, metabolic and cardiovascular health, proactive disease prevention, weight management, and more, encompassing both proven strategies and innovative technologies. As Founder and Medical Director of Timmons Wellness, she helps people move beyond basic wellness toward longevity medicine, and build sustainable habits that increase not just the years of their lives, but their number of healthy years.

In his letters to Timothy, Paul talked about people with itching ears who would pursue myths and fables as they strayed from sound teaching. Have you ever had someone from the legalistic side of the fence make the accusation it is a reference to those 'hyper-grace radicals?' So ... who are these people Paul mentions with mosquito bites on their ears? :) Suffice it to say that it wasn't people who embraced unlimited and overflowing grace—but some might be surprised to discover it was quite the opposite.

Brian Gibson joins us on the podcast today and he elaborates on the concept of sending missionaries and the ecclesiastical responsibility to support them. Gibson articulates that effective sending entails a triad of resources—meals, medicines, and munitions—drawing an analogy from military logistics to emphasize the importance of consistent support for missionaries on the front lines. He delineates the role of churches and organizations in this process, advocating for a proactive approach to stewardship of the Great Commission. Gibson's experiences in foreign missions enrich the dialogue, as he reflects on the complexities of cultural reintegration for returning missionaries. His insights illuminate the challenges faced by missionaries transitioning back to familiar yet altered environments, and he advocates for intentional debriefing processes that enable them to unpack their experiences and reintegrate holistically into their communities. This segment serves as a vital reminder of the ongoing journey of faith and the essential support structures needed for those who are sent into the world.Lastly, the episode culminates with a reflective discussion on the importance of debriefing, positing it as a necessary practice for spiritual leaders and missionaries alike. The speakers emphasize that debriefing is not merely a procedural formality but a profound opportunity for individuals to process their experiences, both positive and negative. They articulate that without the intentional act of debriefing, individuals risk missing the richness of their journey and the lessons learned therein. The conversation highlights various indicators that prompt the need for debriefing, including heightened emotional responses and significant life transitions. Furthermore, they discuss the theological underpinnings of debriefing, tracing it back to biblical precedents where God engages with His people through questions that invite reflection and understanding. This thematic exploration reinforces the notion that debriefing is an integral part of spiritual growth and community support, urging listeners to embrace this practice as a means of fostering resilience and gratitude in their faith journeys. The episode concludes with a prayer, encapsulating the themes of encouragement, reflection, and divine support that permeate the discussion.Takeaways: Biblical encouragement and admonishment are essential for the growth and edification of individuals within the church community. The teaching of Jesus emphasizes the importance of encouragement, urging us to take heart and not succumb to fear. It is often more necessary to provide encouragement than admonishment in the context of spiritual leadership. Understanding the significance of debriefing can enhance the effectiveness of global workers and help them process their experiences. The process of debriefing allows individuals to unpack their experiences and recognize God's faithfulness in various situations. Identifying significant transitions or emotional states in others can prompt meaningful debriefing conversations that foster healing.

Reclaiming Your Power: Surviving Workplace Chaos and Doing Great Work with Melissa Swift   Anika sat down with Melissa Swift, founder and CEO of Anthrome Insight, to tackle the reality of the modern workday: constant interruptions, hyper-emotional environments, and overwhelming chaos. Following the release of her new book, How to Do Great Work in a Fast Changing World, Melissa shares why systemic organizational changes are great, but individuals need actionable survival strategies now. Drawing on research from high-stakes professionals like firefighters and ER doctors, this conversation provides a practical framework for identifying your true strengths, dealing with chaotic colleagues, and recognizing when a job is fundamentally broken.   In This Episode   The COVID-era breaking point that inspired a shift from organizational strategy to individual empowerment Breaking down the "Effectiveness Architecture": Knowledge, Methods, People, and Technology The self-checkout paradox: why automating tech actually requires a massive increase in human "soft skills" The four trends making us less effective at work, with a deep dive into navigating chaos Natural chaos (the science of surprises) versus the frustration of people operating chaotically The Muppet Theory of Management: knowing when to deploy your "Order Muppets" vs. "Chaos Muppets" What corporate America can learn from firefighters about deep tech mastery and acute role clarity How organizations inadvertently gaslight employees by hiring them for jobs the company culture actively rejects Three concrete steps you can take this week to carve out space and reclaim your sanity   Timestamps   00:00 Introduction: Operating effectively in a fast-changing world 01:17 Why Melissa's audience demanded a book focused on individual survival strategies 02:52 The COVID breaking point and the metaphor of the empty Soviet streetcar 04:13 The Effectiveness Architecture: simplifying 30,000 skills into four core pillars 06:46 Why technology rollouts fail without the proper "people skills" training 09:38 Four trends destroying workplace effectiveness: intensification, emotion, transparency, and chaos 11:23 Natural chaos vs. human chaos (and the Muppet theory of team dynamics) 14:48 What white-collar workers can learn from the training habits of firefighters 19:51 The myth of the "skills gap" and the untapped power of self-directed learners 23:55 Identifying your superpower (Knowledge, Methods, People, or Tech) and overcoming stereotypes 29:45 Why role clarity is the first casualty of chaos and how to get it back 33:50 How to recognize if your job is fundamentally broken or set up to fail 39:08 Three actionable steps to reclaim your effectiveness and boundaries this week 43:35 Favorite quote: Oscar Wilde on the vital art of brevity   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: The Effectiveness Architecture Simplifies Work Instead of getting bogged down in corporate frameworks boasting 30,000 different micro-skills, individual effectiveness boils down to four clear pillars: Knowledge, Methods, People, and Technology. Identifying which pillar is your natural superpower (and which is your weakest link) allows you to partner with complementary colleagues and combat workplace stereotypes.   Insight 2: Automation Requires More "People Skills," Not Less When companies automate roles (like introducing self-checkout lanes), they often underestimate the human element. The remaining workers suddenly have to act as IT support, security, and customer de-escalation all at once. Rolling out advanced technology—including AI—without training people on the soft skills required to manage the human friction around it is a recipe for burnout.   Insight 3: Not All Chaos is Created Equal There is "natural chaos" (the inevitable surprises of a shifting economy or supply chain) and there is the unnatural chaos of colleagues operating erratically. You manage natural chaos through scenario planning, but you manage human chaos by building strict boundaries and strategically deploying the right personalities (your organized "Kermits" vs. your adaptable "Animals").   Insight 4: High-Stakes Professionals Prioritize Deep Mastery and Crisp Roles Unlike corporate workers who switch between dozens of apps a day without truly mastering any, professionals like firefighters are given the time and space to completely master a single new tool before their lives depend on it. Similarly, in an ER or on a fireground, role clarity is acute. In corporate settings, blurred roles masquerade as "collaboration," but they actually drain creativity and cause systemic failure.   Insight 5: Your Job Might Be Fundamentally Broken Sometimes your lack of effectiveness isn't your fault. If you are hired to be a "change agent" in a company that inherently rejects innovation, or if you are told to "lead through influence" without any actual resources or power, you are fighting gravity. Recognizing when a job is structurally broken is the first step in deciding whether to renegotiate your role or walk away.   Resources & Links Mentioned How to Do Great Work in a Fast Changing World by Melissa Swift Work Here Now by Melissa Swift   About Melissa Swift   Melissa Swift is the founder and CEO of Anthrome Insight, a leading organizational effectiveness consultancy.

AI is everywhere, but are property management companies asking the right questions before implementing it? In this episode of the #DoorGrowShow, Jason Hull sits down with Mo Hussain to discuss why successful AI adoption has far less to do with technology and far more to do with operational clarity. Instead of chasing the latest AI tools, Mo introduces his Measure, Map, Automate framework to identify operational bottlenecks, uncover hidden profit leaks, and build workflows that actually improve business performance.  Together, they explore why clean data is the foundation of automation, how undocumented processes create costly inefficiencies, and why AI should enhance human decision-making rather than replace it.   You'll Learn [00:00] Meet Mo Hussain and the Measure, Map, Automate Framework [03:20] Why Most Companies Ask the Wrong AI Questions [08:10] The Role of Clean Data in AI Success [12:45] Mapping Workflows Before Automating Them [15:30] The Process Myth and Better Operational Systems [21:10] Building Accountability Into AI Workflows [25:15] Designing AI Agents That Actually Perform [27:45] Turning Operational Data Into Business Growth [29:15] Final Advice for Property Management Leaders Quotables "AI value really truly is workflow value."

In this episode,   Mo is breaking down the measure, map, and automate framework that he has built and approach an approach to uncovering hidden margins, reducing manual oversight, and getting more value out of every door in your portfolio.   right.   is Mo Hussain. Mo, welcome to the show.   Mo Hussein (01:01) Hey Jason, happy to be here.   Jason Hull (01:03) So today we're going to be chatting a little bit about how property management companies can stop drowning in data and start turning it into real operational growth. And Mo's going to break down the measure, map, and automate framework, his approach for uncovering hidden margins, reducing manual oversight, and getting more value out of every door in your portfolio. So cool, measuring is important. We'll get into that. So before we get into that, Mo,   Can you give people a little bit of background on yourself? How did you get into entrepreneurism? How did you get connected to property management? And help everybody understand who Mo is. Yeah.   Mo Hussein (01:42) Yeah.   great question. So I I've been in this industry now for probably coming up on 20 years at this point. I I worked at some of the prop tech and software providers that are prevalent in the space. Namely, I worked at both YARTI App Folio, which are both kind of headquartered in in Santa Barbara. and a little bit over ten years ago, I started a consultancy and accounting CPA practice that specifically focuses on   Jason Hull (01:56) Namely, I worked at both YARDIE and at Folio, which are both kind of headquartered in in Santa Barbara. a little bit over ten years ago, I started a consultancy and accounting TPA practice that specifically focuses   on prop tech and real estate. So we offer consultations with implementations, custom reporting, operationalizing around technology, which is which is now the buzz around kind of AI and automation at this point.   Mo Hussein (02:11) Prop tech and real estate. So we offer consultations with implementations, custom reporting, operationalizing around technology, which is which is now the buzz around kind of AI and automation at this point. and then   we've also built products for the space to help with automations, help with you know accounting compliance and bringing visibility and custom reporting capabilities to operators. So kind of leveraging all the experience.   Jason Hull (02:25) And then we've also built products for the space to help with automations, help with you know, accounting compliance and bringing visibility and custom reporting capabilities to operators. So kind of leveraging all the experience   Mo Hussein (02:40) from working as a consultant and also as an accountant and even working as some of these tech providers now being a actual supplier in the industry.   Jason Hull (02:41) from working as a consultant and also as an accountant and even working as some of these tech providers now being a aqua supplier in the industry. Very cool. Very cool. So you're a little bit nerdy.   Mo Hussein (02:52) A little bit. Data. I love data. Right.   Jason Hull (02:53) Okay, so am I. So am I. All right. So   cool. So let's talk nerdy to me, Mo. All right. So let's let's chat about this. So let's get into it. So t tell us about this. Wha why is this wh how'd you come up with this framework? Why is this important? I love frameworks because frameworks are usually where we take something that we notice a pattern in, there's some complexity involved, and we make it simple. So explain to us.   Mo Hussein (02:59) Yeah.   Jason Hull (03:18) Where does the measure map and automate framework kind of come from?   Mo Hussein (03:22) Right, right. And this is this kind of stems from a conversation you probably have with plenty of your your clients and even prospects when you start engaging, you know, the the the very popular question now of how do we use AI? I want to streamline and automate. And it's a very loaded, it's a very loaded, fairly ambiguous question, right? How do we use AI? We want to implement AI into our operations, right?   Jason Hull (03:23) And this is this kind of stems from a conversation you probably have with plenty of your   You know, the the the the very popular question now, how do we use AI? It's a very loaded, fairly ambiguous question, right? How do we use AI? We want to implement AI more.   Mo Hussein (03:48) when conversely, like you know, operators and property managers should be starting with a different qu set of questions, right? Like how like where are we losing things like NOI, margin, time, control, or even consistency, right? AI really only matters when it connects and automation really only matters when it connects to a to a revenue lever or some type of a cost lever or productivity gain or or risk reduction, right?   Jason Hull (03:50) Conversely, like you know, operators, property managers should be starting with a different set of questions, right? Like how like where are we losing things like NOI, margin, time, control, or even consistency, right? AI really only matters when it connects in automation really only matters when it connects to a to a revenue lever or some type of a cost lever, productivity gain or or risk reduction,   right? Yeah. there's there's a couple   Mo Hussein (04:14) and there's there's a couple of key components   Jason Hull (04:16) key components in even conversations that you've probably even had with with property managers today is that firstly like you know operators today they already have a lot of data. They probably have access to a lot of different data sets across, you know, operations, but it's probably, you know, disconnected and disjointed and different reports and disconnected systems, hidden in spreadsheets and and dashboards that probably don't drive much much action, right? and everybody wants   Mo Hussein (04:17) in even conversations that you've probably even had with with property managers today is that firstly, like, you know, operators today, they already have a lot of data. They probably have access to a lot of different data sets across, you know, operations, but it's probably, you know, disconnected and disjointed and different reports and disconnected systems hidden in spreadsheets and and dashboards that probably don't drive much much action, right? and everybody wants to   Jason Hull (04:43) to automate and execute   Mo Hussein (04:43) automate and execute an   operational kind of workflow. But the hard part is not whether, you know, AI can really do something, but the hard part is whether a company even knows where value is leaking and who owns that action and and whether these workflows are even clear enough to to be able to automate. And that's kind of the premise of this framework is to kind of measure what that pain is, you know, map that workflow, automate that repetitive work and manage   Jason Hull (04:45) an operational kind of workflow. The hard part is not whether you know AI can really do something, but the hard part is whether a a company even knows where value is leaking and who owns that action and and whether these workflows are even clear enough to to be able to automate. And that's kind of the premise of this framework is to kind of measure what that pain is, you know, map that workflow, automate that repetitive work, and   manage ideally performance through some type of closed loop accountability. We just put an actual word to it, right? A framework to it, I'm sure   Mo Hussein (05:07) ideally performance through some type of a closed loop accountability. We just put an actual word to it and a framework to it, but I'm sure very   similarly to the conversations that you're probably having also even with customers.   Jason Hull (05:15) Very similarly to the conversations that you're probably having also with customers.   Yeah, yeah, got it. Yeah. it's interesting because we're now seeing a lot of these tech companies or tech forward companies that are kind of backtracking on AI a little bit. They were giving out basically blank checks to use AI as much as they could. Some were even creating sort of a contest internally, incentivizing like who could use the most tokens.   Mo Hussein (05:29) Mm.   Right.   You're right.   Jason Hull (05:41) Which is a little bit insane   to just give people a blank check as if that always the more tokens you burn, the more productivity is being created, right?   Mo Hussein (05:51) Right, right, right. And we're seeing, yeah, and you know, as we're seeing these newer models that are coming out, whether it's, you know, through Cloud, Anthropic or even these other these other LLMs, the token utilization is becoming more and more expensive, especially with these newer models. And so now the question of just like, hey, how is that utilization actually translating to actual business value? Right. And this was a question that eventually would have been would have been pushed, right?   Jason Hull (05:54) Yeah and you know.   Of just like, hey, how's that utilization actually translating to actual business value? Right.   Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. I love it. Like how to use AI. Yeah. Bad question. A better question is how do we actually make sure we're creating more profit? How do we actually make sure we are lowering costs? Like   And that's the the idea, they think, well, AI must be so much cheaper than people. And what's interesting, I've also seen some reports lately showing the amount of money these different LLMs are losing right now. They're spending a massive amount of money to deliver AI to us at a super cheap price right now. And but they're losing money. Every time we're chatting, they're losing money.   Mo Hussein (06:47) Mm-hmm.   Right.   Right.   Jason Hull (07:01) And that's that's a wild business model. They're obviously hoping to win some sort of AI race. They're hoping to get us maybe in the future. And there's a lot of talk lately as well of people thinking we gotta shift to local models. Like we gotta I gotta run this AI stuff on my own computer and not be giving all my money to anthropic or open AI you know, open AI or whatever. So okay.   Mo Hussein (07:15) Mm-hmm.   Right, right.   Right.   Jason Hull (07:26) Cool. So let's continue on. Me measure, map and automate. Yeah. Yeah.   Mo Hussein (07:29) Yeah. Yeah. And   by the way, going on your point, Jason, it's you know, you you also, you know, creating automation and leveraging these models locally, it there's definitely value in that. But you know, now more than ever, f you know, teams are kind of distributed, right? And so ideally, if you've built automations and leveraging these L LMs and   Jason Hull (07:35) Yeah, y you also you know   Locally it is definitely that   Teams are kind of distributed, right? Yeah. Ideally, if you've built automations and leveraging these LLMs   and   Mo Hussein (07:52) And things of that sort.   You probably want to have like some type of an interface that's like cloud based, right? Or for folks to be able to kind of collaborate in some type of a ideally like a safe environment, right? and so measure, map and and automate. So you know, there's there's kind of those three components to be able to actually fully ideally leverage leverage AI. But   Jason Hull (07:55) some type of a an interface that's like cloud based, right? Or for folks to be able to kind of collaborate in some type of a ideally like a safe environment, right? yeah. So measure, map and and automate. So you know there's there's kind of those three components to be able to actually fully ideally leverage leverage AI but   there's there's a couple like kind of key core components that feel like   Mo Hussein (08:20) There's there's a couple of like kind of key core components that I feel like   is very important for folks to to really understand before they can they they can even take advantage of of AI, right? so one is you know AI, AI value really truly is workflow value. And so like the most the biggest opportunities when it comes to automation leveraging AI is things that are repetitive.   Jason Hull (08:25) is very important for folks to to really understand before they can they they can take advantage of of AI, right? so one is, you know, a AI AI value really truly is a workflow value. And so like the most   automation leveraging AI as things that are   repetitive, you know, judgment heavy, ideally high volume workflows. Think about things like you know, leasing follow-up, delinquency, turns, maintenance, triage, variance explanations. another another key thing to understand is you know AI depends on trusted ideal operational data. And so if you don't have accurate or clean property unit, resident, vendor,   Mo Hussein (08:44) you know, judgment heavy, ideally high volume workflows. Think about things like you know, leasing follow-up, d delinquency, terms, maintenance triage, variance explanations. another another key thing to understand is, you know, AI depends on trusted ideally operational data. And so if you don't have accurate or clean property unit, resident vendor   payment data and it's and it's inconsistent, you know, AI just   Jason Hull (09:10) payment data and it's and it's inconsistent, you know,   AI just helps accelerate the wrong answer, right? This notion of like hallucinations also kind of exist. and you know insights without ownership is is just is really just theater. And so although AI may identify a problem and recommend an action, things need to be routed, right? And asci you know action needs to be assigned, there needs to be some accountability that gets created there and then a measurement of of of   Mo Hussein (09:13) helps accelerate r the wrong answer, right? And the this notion of like hallucinations also kind of exist. and you know insights without ownership is is just is really just theater. And so although AI may identify a problem and recommend an action, things need to be routed, right? And as I you know action needs to be assigned. There needs to be some accountability that gets created there and then a measurement of of of a   of of a of a result.   Jason Hull (09:40) of of a of a   result. and then lastly like humans humans control still matters, right? Things that have a very high potential opportunity cost. you know, operators should be very careful on how they utilize AI. So, you know, things around fair housing, sensitive sensitive decisions like screenings, evictions, legal communication, you know, employee decisions and maybe even large payment loopholes and so   Mo Hussein (09:42) and then lastly like humans, humans control still matters, right? Things that have a very high potential opportunity cost. you know, operators should be very careful on how they utilize AI. So, you know, things around fair housing, sensitive sensitive decisions like screenings, evictions, legal communication, you know, employee decisions and maybe even large payment approvals. And so   Once we   have these kind of these table stake table stake items, if you will, kind of address, then you know we can move on to kind of you know the our framework of kind of measure, map, and automate. And so in each of these different components have different purposes, you know. The whole point of the measure step is is to quantify where pain exists and to validate kind of being buying versus buy like building. And so you want to ask things like where   Jason Hull (10:09) Once we have these kind of these table stakes stakeheads, if you will, kind of addressed, then you know, we can move on to kind of, you know, the our framework of kind of measure, map, and automate. And so and each of these different components have different purposes, you know. The whole point of the measure step is is to quantify where pain exists and to validate kind of being buying versus buy like building. And so you want to ask things   like where   Mo Hussein (10:36) where   time, where margin, where service quality or accountability is lost today, right? Examples can be things like, you know, days vacant, you know, delinquency rate, maintenance response times. These would be kind of like outputs like invoice coding time, reporting hours, renewal conversions, right?   Jason Hull (10:37) Where time, where margin, where service quality or accountability is lost today, right? Examples can be things like, you know, days vacant, you know, delinquency rate, maintenance response times. These would be kind of like outputs like invoice coding time, reporting hours, renewal conversions, right?   Yeah. Got it. Yeah, that that makes a lot of sense. So you've got to be you have to have good data.   Which the crux of th where their data is all probably housed is inside of their property management software.   Mo Hussein (11:06) Right.   Jason Hull (11:07) And so hopefully that software is kinda tracking some of this stuff. But, you know, everybody's had a CRM that the team didn't put enough notes in. And then it becomes kind of useless, right? So you're like, what happened with Fred on that call earlier, you know, or previously? I I think I think we talked about this. Can't remember. Why aren't you putting in notes? And so then the flaw becomes the human in the loop in a lot of instances. But then you're saying, you know, also humans matter. Like   Mo Hussein (11:14) Right.   Right.   Jason Hull (11:34) Related to fair housing. We've got to have the human in the loop making decisions. I don't think it would go fair very well to be standing in front of a judge and say, Well, the AI messed this up. It wasn't me.   Mo Hussein (11:43) Right. Right.   Right. Yeah, that's very that's very correct. the the the other thing is is that you know software is a tool, right? So they you know, for like that example that you just gave of like, hey, you know, I had a conversation with Freddie or an owner or what have you, and you know, the notes weren't captured. And so if there's if if if if there's there needs to be also a cultural   Jason Hull (11:46) Yeah, that's very that's very   Yeah, they you know, put like that example that you just gave of like, Hey, you know, I had a conversation   And you know, the notes weren't captured. And so if there's if if if if there's there needs to be also   Mo Hussein (12:06) shift within the organization to become more performance kind of driven, right? And using, you know, places of truth. You know, I, you know, we use Salesforce in our own internal kind of CRM and you know, there's this old ad like this old saying of just, you know, hey, if it didn't happen to Salesforce, it didn't happen at all. In other words, if your system of record hasn't been updated and things haven't been added to it   Jason Hull (12:06) cultural shift within the organization to become more performance kind of driven, right? And using, you know, places of truth. You know, I you know, we use Salesforce in our own internal kind of CRM and you know, there's this this old like this old thing of just, you know, hey, if it didn't happen in Salesforce, it didn't happen at all. Right.   Mo Hussein (12:29) to to ensure that it is correct and accurate and up to date, then   Jason Hull (12:29) to it to to ensure that it is correct and accurate and up   to date, then the organization sees it as, you know, as it didn't happen. And somebody, you know, using anecdotal feedback like, well I did this, but I just didn't update this. And so that's it's very important that, you know, whatever system you're using to kind of measure different KPIs and metrics, that that, you know, that behaviors within the organization are shifting towards that. And it's it's something it's a cultural shift that needs to also   Mo Hussein (12:32) the organization sees it as you know as it didn't happen. And somebody, you know, using anecdotal feedback of like, well I did this, but I just didn't update this, it means it didn't happen. And so that's it's very important that, you know, whatever system you're using to kind of measure different KPIs and metrics, that that, you know, that behaviors within the organization are shifting towards that. And it's it's some it's a cultural shift that needs to also cascade   also from from leadership down as well.   Jason Hull (12:57) Cascade also from leadership down.   Yeah, the advantage we have nowadays with all the AI stuff that's come out is now pretty much everything gets transcribed everywhere. So calls get transcribed, notes can be created automatically. You can also go back and ha check the transcription on a call or a zoom call or recording, figure out what happened. So that you know, not leaving notes in the CRM is a little bit less of a problem than it was in the past.   So we've so we've chatted a bit about measure. What is what's important about mapping or map? Yeah. So this is this goes back to my previous point about like you know AI value being it it is workflow value. Yeah so you know you've measured you've identified you know your measurements and KPIs. So whatever those KPIs may be. Next what you need to do is map what the actual   Mo Hussein (13:30) The mapping. Yeah. So this is this goes back to my previous point about like, you know, AI value being it is workflow value. And so, you know, you've measured, you've identified, you know, your measurements and KPIs, you know, days vacant, delinquency, whatever those KPIs may be. Next, what you need to do is map what the actual what   the actual workflows that are happening, not how leadership or staff thinks it's happening.   Jason Hull (13:53) what the actual workflows are happening, not how leadership or staff thinks it's   happening. There's a very key kind of a distinction is that, you know, a lot of operators and teams kind of assume, hey, you know, we have a set process, but it may not be happening the way that they are envisioning or the way that they're assuming that this is happening. Yeah. And and map that entire workflow end to end.   Mo Hussein (13:59) The very key kind of distinction is that, you know, a lot of operators and teams kind of assume, hey, you know, we have a set process, but it may not be happening the way that they are envisioning or the way that they're assuming that this is happening. And and map that entire workflow end to end.   identify what systems are involved, where handoffs occur, where approvals are required.   Jason Hull (14:21) identify what systems are involved, where handoffs occur, where approvals are required,   Mo Hussein (14:27) where judgment calls are are are are kind of made. And so, you know, every company has, you know, things like experienced managers and accountants and maintenance folks and and they usually know what good looks like versus what bad looks like. And so AI here is to help kind of convert that tribal knowledge ideally into a repeatable operating model. And so examples of how that mapping   Jason Hull (14:28) where judgment calls are kind of made. And so every company has you know things like experienced managers and accountants and maintenance folks, and and they usually know what good looks like versus what bad looks like. And so AI here helped kind of convert that tribal knowledge ideally into an overviewable operative model. So examples of   that mapping would be is you know, hey, what is the entire need to lease workflow?   Mo Hussein (14:50) would be is, you know, hey, what is the entire lead to lease workflow? You know,   Jason Hull (14:54) You know, what is the work order to completion, you know? what is our renewal offer to sign and executed actual renewal? And so and actually and again documenting that, a a lot of organizations have some notion of what that workflow kinda looks like. but   Mo Hussein (14:54) What is the work order to completion? You know? what is our renewal offer to signed and executed actual renewal? And so and actually, and again, documenting that. A a lot of organizations have some notion of what that workflow kind of looks like. but you know, they   haven't actually done they may not have documented, or if they did, it's not updated and they have an out of date SOP or a process diagram.   Jason Hull (15:12) you know, they haven't actually gotten any INOT documents in or if they did, it's not updated and they have an out of data so P or a process diagram.   Mo Hussein (15:22) And that's that's and that's that's that's a very important kind of key aspect of kind of this process.   Jason Hull (15:22) and that's that's and that's that's that's a very important kind of key aspect of kind of this process. Yeah, yeah. Well I a lot of times I end up talking with clients and I've noticed kind of this pattern or trend in the industry of I call it the process myth where everybody thinks if we just had better processes   all of our hopes and dreams would come true when it comes to the off side of the business and we would be more profitable. And especially see this in the two to four hundred door range in single family or small multi-residential property management. And so the challenge there is th that it's impossible to create enough processes, KPIs, and systems to make mediocre people be great. But they pe that doesn't stop business owners from trying. They they're like   Mo Hussein (15:59) Right.   Right.   Jason Hull (16:04) They they they wake up in the morning, they're like, I want to play an impossible game today. And they they still try. And I call it the process myth because if you have really great people, even if your processes are garbage, that I've seen these businesses still perform well. But the reverse is not true. You have mediocre people, you could have insane amounts of systems and processes and stuff, and the business still has a lot of headaches and problems.   Mo Hussein (16:16) Mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (16:29) And so I've kind of noticed this pattern. I call it the three levels of process. And level one is documentation. It's just like writing stuff out. But that's kind of like the owner's manual in the glove box of the car. Nobody looks at it, it doesn't get updated. You know, it's like it's it's it's gathering dust, and people don't actually, that's not actually how the processes are run. And over time, things gravitate towards ease or grace or what the flows best for the person doing the job.   Mo Hussein (16:39) Mm-hmm, mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (16:57) Not for what's best for the job sometimes. And so it gravitates a little bit towards chaos or being worse. Then there's this level two, which is checklists. This is where people are using things like Asana or Process Street or Lead Simple or they some sort of checklist space system where now they're verifying the works getting done in a certain way. But checklist has its own problems in that it's very linear and not every process is linear.   Mo Hussein (16:59) Right, right.   Read simple. Mm-hmm.   Mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (17:24) There's decisions   and splits and merges and sting things happening concurrently in property management. And so the challenge with checklist also it can tend to slow things down. It's not as efficient. So the next level and the problem I had with checklist, we used to use process street, is that it it if anytime a process got complicated, I had to build logic and you know, if-then sort of situations into it.   And it usually got to the point where I didn't even understand it. Like a year later, I'm looking at a process. I'm like, I had to retranslate this back into something that made sense to my brain. And I always, and the nerd had to be the one that did all the updates on it because nobody else could understand it. So then we eventually graduated to level three. So level three is visual workflow. This is for humans.   Mo Hussein (18:01) Right.   Mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (18:13) And so, and with with this, my tip to everybody listening, if you have a system, whether it's checklist or it's any of these three levels, you know, documentation, checklist, or visual workflow, that you your first two processes you make as an operator or as a business owner is how to create a process in this system is number one. And number two, how to QA.   Mo Hussein (18:26) Did   Jason Hull (18:37) A process that is made in the system to know it's actually a good one. If you just make those two, you don't have to do any of the other stuff. Everybody else can do it. You just make those two. That's my tip for all you business owners. And now with AI, you can start adding AI. Once you have things visually mapped out, it's you've got the map like you're talking about. Now you can figure out all right, where can AI take over some of this stuff? And where do we still need the human in the loop? Right. So yeah.   Mo Hussein (18:43) Mm.   And automation. Mm-hmm. Yep.   Yeah.   Right,   Jason Hull (19:05) So any tips for those listening to this that are already geeking out with AI, they're doing a little bit of this measuring and mapping and automating. What are some of the biggest challenges you've noticed where this kind of breaks down or people are making mistakes?   Mo Hussein (19:19) It's it's honestly it's the it's the you know, AI value. it's it's a lot of the small individual decisions that are made in a in a repetitive fashion and that that are made a lot that really are gonna unlock like true value for for any operator. And so like, you know, having very clean data, standardized, you know, systems of truth by what we mean by that is that, you know, hey, you know.   Jason Hull (19:20) It's it's honestly it's the it's the you know, AI value it's it's   like true value for for any op   clean data, standardized, you know, systems of truth. But what we mean by that is that, you know, hey,   you know, you know, whatever work order system that you're using, for example, has accurate, you know, work order data. People, you know, you're making a segment for actually closing out the work order when they complete it. Hey, the end of the week, I'm gonna now try to remember what I did earlier in the week.   Mo Hussein (19:47) you know, whatever work order systems that you're using, for example, has accurate, you know, work order data. People, you know, your maintenance technicians are actually closing out the work order when they complete it. Not just, hey, the end the week, I'm gonna now try to remember what I did earlier in the week.   Close it out. So the data is   the data can't be trusted, then AI is just going   Jason Hull (20:04) data the be trusted and AI   Mo Hussein (20:07) to cause additional kind of confusion. And so having accurate systems of record. And I gave that example of of of a work order when a technician kind of closes that, right? the process map, I think the you know, the three buckets are like three level that you kind of gave, I think is a great, great.   Jason Hull (20:20) Yeah, yeah. Yeah, that makes sense.   yeah.   level that you kinda gave I think it's a great,   great anecdote and framing of how processes should be kind of looked at. And and I think one thing that a lot of operators usually tend to overlook or assume is you know how things are being done versus how they actually are being done within the schemes, right? So an owner somebody at some point said, okay hey this is a process we're gonna take and then over time that just kind of got changed.   Mo Hussein (20:29) anecdote and framing of how processes should be kind of looked at. And and I think one thing that a lot of operators usually tend to overlook or assume is you know how things are being done versus how they actually are being done within the teams, right? It's an owner, somebody at some point said, okay, hey, this is the process we're gonna take. And then over time that just kind of got changed. And there   may be, you know, two different property managers   Jason Hull (20:55) And there may be, you know, two different property managers   Mo Hussein (20:58) operating in two different regions in the same company that are doing leasing renewal differently, right? That going back to that point that you mentioned about systematizing and having accountability loops and task base or like checklist items and ensuring that those things are actually done in that same quality and that same fashion is very, very key. And so getting data, like getting the right data, accurate data,   Jason Hull (20:58) operating in two different regions in the same company that are doing these things renewal differently. Right. That point that you mentioned about synthesizing and having accountability loops and task based or like checklist items and ensuring that those things are actually done in that same quality, in that same fashion is very, very key. And so getting data, getting the right data, accurate data   Mo Hussein (21:23) and then also like your process mapping and your   Jason Hull (21:24) And then also like your process mapping   and your processes kind of documented. I think I think the visual representation is a great way to have that. And those are the two key things that ninety percent of folks that are trying to leverage AI and automation and even the folks that are starting to try to jump into this space and try to automate and use AI for these things like usually we're like where where they're really struggling with. got it. Yeah, I think   Mo Hussein (21:26) processes kind of documented. I think I think the visual representation is a great way to have that. Those are the two key things that ninety percent of folks that are trying to leverage AI and automation and even the folks that are starting to try to jump into this space and trying to automate and use AI for these things like usually we're like we're where they're really struggling with.   Jason Hull (21:50) I was just on a webinar recently and they were talking about building AI agents and they were talking about if you want to make really effective AI agents, you need to give them a really good job description, just like a human. And what what's really funny is if you we coach clients on this a lot, but if we tell the clients to to go, we coach clients on   Creating job descriptions. We call our version of them R docs because each section starts with an R, like role, responsibility, et cetera, all the typical stuff. But then we have some additional sections that we found really paramount. So what we'll tell them to do is go ask your team members, give them this framework, and have them create their own R Doc. And then you take a look at this and see if that's what you would have created. Because it's never like what they think their job is. It's usually very different than what the business owner thinks their job is.   Mo Hussein (22:25) Mm-hmm.   Right.   Jason Hull (22:36) And maybe even different what the manager, the ops person thinks the job is, but then you can actually literally get on the same page with them. You can be like negotiate this and be like, this is what we think your priorities should be, and what your outcomes should be, and what we want you to be able to accomplish. And this is helpful for them to know what they're aiming for so that they can please you because your team members want to please you if they're good. But usually there's a big disconnect, like you're saying, between what   Mo Hussein (23:00) Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (23:05) the the employee thinks their j role and job is versus what their manager thinks they should be doing versus what the business owner thinks everybody should be doing. And so nobody's on the same page. And then you're everybody's roles are a little messy. And then you're going, let's give them processes now to work on. And they're not even clear on what their job is or what their role is. Yeah. And so same thing if you were going to build an AI agent and you were like, I want you to try and be good at everything. And then suddenly it's like really   Mo Hussein (23:29) Right.   Jason Hull (23:34) Hallucinating a lot and it's messing everything up and yeah. And it's not a realistic creature, you know, just like some people give create job descriptions that are for like four different personality types. Right. And then they hire somebody that maybe can actually do all four things, and we call those really highly adaptable, weird creatures entrepreneurs. And then they wonder why that property manager left and stole all their clients.   Mo Hussein (23:34) Horrible.   Right.   Yeah.   Jason Hull (23:57) Instead of finding somebody that's like really good at being one thing. Right. Yeah. And that's how you should see Asia.   Mo Hussein (24:00) Right. That that that that role clarity is very, very, very important, right? And that's how you should see agents as well, is that   like, hey, it's like a trained employee. And so you should exp you should expect the same level of, you know, investment involvement, if you will, and trying to and try to help them be the best of like, you know, whether it's a leasing agent, a maintenance coordinator, or whatever that their role may be. And I I think another aspect is and I'm curious how like how   Jason Hull (24:12) you should expect the same level of you know investment involvement if you will and trying to and try to help them be the best of like you know whether it's a leasing agent a maintenance coordinator or whatever that their role may be and I I think another aspect is and I'm curious that   like how you know when you guys are having conversations with clients around role descriptions stuff it's the concept of ownership like hey what you know how to how to align ownership to and lining that up to hopefully the mental business   Mo Hussein (24:28) you know, when you guys having conversations with clients around role descriptions and stuff, it's the concept of ownership. Like, hey, what, you know, how to how to align ownership to and lining that up to hopefully an eventual business outcome or KPI   or something so that, you know, their performance drives also the business performance, right? How have you guys had this conversation or how do you talk about kind of that concept? I can kind of allude to it without kind of explicitly calling it out.   Jason Hull (24:42) Kate guy or something so that you know their performance derives also the business performance, right? Yeah. How do you talk about kind of that concept? You kind of allude to it without kind of explicitly calling   it out. Yeah, I think well, sometimes I'll just totally call a business owner out on things. But I think what I think will be interesting is people are building starting to build agents. I think that they should.   They should have an understanding of personality types. I think they should have an understanding maybe or a conversation with AI about what Myers Briggs type might be good for this agentic role. And because like somebody that's really good at like strategy and the strategist role, which would be like an INTJ in Myers Briggs, might be good at some operational stuff, but they would be really terrible at customer service.   Mo Hussein (25:19) Mm-hmm.   Jason Hull (25:33) Because a lot of INTJs don't even like humans, right? And so they're logical thinkers and they're really judging and they're practical and they're in you know introverted and they're really bad at understanding how the other person feels or even expressing that. And so you're you you don't want to create these try and create AI AI agents that are multiple split personality types, because I don't think they're gonna be as effective. And you can't also, just like you wouldn't want somebody building the process.   QE QA QA of the process. You don't want them both. You don't want AI to be checking itself. Right. Right. The the brain that had problems doing the messing things up, maybe, or didn't do it totally right. You don't want them checking their own work. Right. And so, yeah, so I think this is going to be interesting that people are going to be building agents and they usually think just logically here's the context it needs, here's the role, whatever. But I think also maybe give it the personality that it.   Mo Hussein (26:08) Right, right.   Right.   Jason Hull (26:29) What's the disc assessment for this person, this agent? What's the Myers Briggs type for this agent? And then if especially if they're communicating with humans or doing a task that you want them to be somewhat human like, they're going to be much better at doing this if you give it you create them in the right way. Just an idea.   the other thing to know as a business owner, you need to know who you are so that you can build your dream team around you. So your advisors, whether they're agentic or human, your advisors, your team members, it should be built ultimately around you thriving and being healthy in your own business so that you've got the tea the tools and the resources that fit you. But most business owners make the mistake.   Of trying to build the business around the business and then wonder why they're miserable and why they're kind of a slave to their own business. Right.   Mo Hussein (27:16) Right. Right. Right.   Jason Hull (27:20) So anyway, Mo, measure, map, automate, MMA. Doesn't involve fighting too much. You know, like mixed martial arts. It's a little bit on the, you know, less physical side of things. fun chatting about.   Mo Hussein (27:26) No.   Jason Hull (27:34) all the the AI stuff that's going. How can people anything else that you want to add to our conversation here about yeah this model? And then could you tell us a little bit about what you do and how maybe you help property managers with this stuff? Yeah. Yeah. so I guess just to put it succinct, kind of a a sandwich kind of takeaway. So yeah, operators need to wait for a perfect AI.   Mo Hussein (27:48) Yeah. Yeah. so I guess just to put it succinctly, kind of a a a sandwich kind of takeaway. So, yeah, operators don't need to wait for a perfect AI strategy.   Start by identifying, measuring where value exists, where things are leaking, then mapping workflows and then deciding what can be safely automated and measuring whether those actions improve performance. and so   Jason Hull (28:00) Identifying, measuring where value exists, where things are leaking, then mapping workflows, and then deciding what can be safe and automated, and measuring whether.   Mo Hussein (28:10) like you know, over time we'll see that you know the winners are not gonna be the companies that have the most amount of most amount of data, but they're the ones that can convert data into consistent operating actions across how they've operated every door. if you we help clients with you know putting together SOPs, also mapping their technology needs, where where they're where they're having operational leaks in the business can be   Jason Hull (28:10) So like you know over time we'll see that you know the winners are not gonna be the companies that have the most amount of most amount of data, but they're the ones that can convert data into consistent operating actions across how they've operated every door. if you we help clients with you know putting together SOPs, also mapping their technology needs, where where they're where they're having operational leaks and the business   can be optimized.   Mo Hussein (28:37) Optimized further using   Jason Hull (28:38) Further using technology and automation, we have a platform that we've built, Prop Strata, to actually connect and help with that automation type effort. and we're also we also do a lot of accounting and and CPA work. you can reach us at www.balanceasset solutions.com, and my emails mo at propstrata.com, or you can reach out to our team at info at balance asset.   Mo Hussein (28:39) technology and automation.

Intro: In this episode of The Smart RVer Podcast, Eric Stark tackles one of the more stressful problems RV owners can run into: a slide-out that will not move. Whether it is stuck in, stuck out, moving unevenly, clicking, grinding, or not making any sound at all, the first step is the same — do not force it.Eric walks through the practical checks every DIY RVer should make before assuming the slide motor or control board has failed. He explains why battery voltage matters, how fuses and auto-reset breakers can stop a slide from working, and why loose wiring, poor grounds, bad switches, and weak connections should be checked early in the process.The episode also covers common slide-out warning signs, including unusual noises, one side moving while the other does not, and the room binding because of obstructions, leveling issues, or lack of maintenance. Eric also talks about slide-out motors, control boards, manual override basics, and when it is time to stop troubleshooting and call a professional.The goal of this episode is to help RV owners slow down, think clearly, and check the simple things first so they do not turn a small slide-out problem into an expensive repair.Show Notes: RV slide-outs are great when they work, but when they stop moving, they can quickly become one of the most stressful problems on a trip. A slide-out stuck in the closed position can make the RV feel cramped and unusable. A slide-out stuck in the open position can keep you from leaving the campground. Either way, it is easy to panic and start pressing the button over and over.In this episode, Eric Stark explains why forcing a stuck slide-out is one of the worst things an RV owner can do. If the room is crooked, grinding, clicking, or moving on one side only, continuing to hold the switch can damage motors, gears, tracks, cables, control boards, or the slide room itself.Eric walks through the first things to check when an RV slide-out will not move. The diagnostic process starts with power. A weak battery, low voltage, loose cable, bad ground, or corroded connection can keep a slide-out from working properly, even if the lights and other 12-volt items still seem fine. From there, Eric explains the importance of checking fuses, auto-reset breakers, wiring, switches, and controller connections before replacing expensive parts.This episode also covers how to listen to what the slide-out is telling you. No sound, clicking, grinding, or uneven movement can each point toward a different problem. Eric also discusses inside and outside obstructions, why the RV needs to be level, how seals and lubrication affect slide-out operation, and why every RV owner should understand their manual override procedure before they need it.The main takeaway is simple: do not force a stuck RV slide-out. Start with battery power, fuses, breakers, wiring, obstructions, leveling, sounds, seals, and the manual override procedure. A calm, step-by-step approach can save time, money, and frustration while helping RV owners stay confident on the road.Takeaways:The importance of checking battery voltage when experiencing issues with RV slide-outs cannot be overstated.When faced with a stuck slide-out, it is imperative to avoid excessive button pressing to prevent further complications.Identifying potential obstructions is crucial when operating RV slide-outs to avoid damaging both the slide and the RV itself.Understanding the specific slide-out system installed in your RV is essential for effective troubleshooting and maintenance.Maintaining a level RV is critical for the proper functioning of slide-outs, particularly when setting up at a campsite.Regularly lubricating and inspecting the slide-out mechanisms can significantly extend their lifespan and reliability.Sunpro Mfg RV Slide Out Fabrics - Use Discount Code "5% Discount"RV Slide-Out Troubleshooting ChecklistRV Help - Mobile RV TechsContact Us via our Website or Phone or Text us @ 406-961-8688Our Online Resources: The Smart Rver YouTube Channel - Check Out Our No-Nonsense YouTube VideosSunpro Mfg - RV Sunshade, Windshield Covers & Slide Out Awning FabricsHot Boat Ropes - Marine Cordage- Anchor Lines, Dock Lines, Tow Lines, etc.Top Rated Podcast - The Smart RVer Podcast WebsiteCompanies mentioned in this episode:SunPro ManufacturingLippertBALDometicFurrion

Picking your starters for a football team is generally pretty easy. Whether you're a best-11 guy, have specialized positions for certain players, or fully two-platooned… those guys stand out and make decisions easily. However, once one guy goes down, the carousel begins. In this episode, Joe and Daniel go through talent evaluation, how to pick the best (and next best) player for each position, and how you can convince players to play a position that's new to them. 9:26 Using ASCA to evaluate positional talent 10:59 Identifying what skills a position really needs 14:49 Building a position rating rubric with five traits 17:20 Ranking players and filling the depth chart like a draft 29:51 Finding the best player for each position based on scheme 34:53 Managing two way players and fatigue on the depth chart 37:30 How depth chart substitutions actually work 57:47 Cross training positions for depth and flexibility 1:02:51 Convincing players to switch to a new position 1:05:37 How to sit a player down and explain a position change Build a Depth Chart That Actually Works on Game Day Step 1: Start With Your Best 11 Build your depth chart around getting your best football players on the field, then determine where each player can contribute most within your system. Do not get locked into traditional position labels or ideal body types. READ: 4-2-5 Defense Positions: Fitting Your Personnel to Your Step 2: Define What Each Position Actually Requires Identify the three to five traits that matter most at each position based on the Alignment, Stance, Key Read and Assignment required in your system.

LISTEN: From Confusion to Confidence: Getting Linebackers to Play Fast Step 3: Fit the System to the Players You Have Keep the foundation of your system intact while adjusting how individual players are used.

Despite what the headlines suggest, most professionals aren't as far behind on AI as they think they are. In this episode, I'm joined by Raman Rai, an award-winning AI product and deployment leader, to explore what it really takes to thrive as AI transforms the workplace.  Raman has helped organizations move AI from strategy into real-world adoption, working with Fortune 100 companies, early-stage founders, and leadership teams. Formerly at PwC and Google, she also helped scale one of the UK's largest enterprise GenAI programs, reaching more than 200,000 people globally in partnership with OpenAI, Microsoft, and Harvey. Her work focuses on the human side of AI adoption, helping organizations build trust, embrace meaningful change, and ensure AI creates greater access and opportunity for more people. In our conversation, we discuss why so many professionals feel overwhelmed by AI and why those feelings are both understandable and more common than you may think. Raman explains why no one has all the answers yet, why learning AI on your own terms matters more than trying to keep up with every new development, and how leaders can introduce AI in ways that help people adapt with confidence. We also explore what it really means to become AI-literate and why understanding your own workflow is the key to finding meaningful opportunities to use AI. Finally, we examine how bias emerges in AI systems and why representative data and diverse perspectives are essential to building better technology. Raman also shares the biggest mistakes leaders make when introducing AI, why investing in people is just as critical as investing in technology, and how organizations can adopt AI with purpose. Join us for this timely conversation and discover how to stay brave, valuable, and visible in the age of AI.

Day 112 is all about accountability and making things right. Today, I'm tackling a major mistake in Betty's power system. While the current setup has served us well, I realized it was under-designed for the specific demands of our air conditioning unit—something I should have caught during the initial planning phase.In this video, I'm cleaning up the "rat's nest" of wiring and installing a new control panel and smart pad. This upgrade not only streamlines our power management but also gives us Bluetooth control over the entire system. I'll walk you through the process of drilling pilot holes, checking wiring sizes, and interpreting the manual to ensure everything is grounded and fused correctly.It's a hot day to be buried in the garage, but getting this system properly organized and efficient is a huge step toward making van life more sustainable for our family.In this video:Identifying why the original power system design was a "mistake"Unboxing and preparing the new control panelManaging complex 12V vs. 120V wiring and ground connectionsCleaning up the electrical "rat's nest" for a safer buildPlanning for future thermal management with heat sinks and fansThanks for following along with the build!

Episode 26-30 Do This BEFORE Starting A Detox Program… Most doctors and health care providers focus their attention on identifying what to "give" their patients. It could be a prescriptive drug or, if the doctor is more holistic minded, an herb or natural supplement. But what if that's NOT what the patient needs? That is, what if there isn't something healthy that's "missing" from the patient… something that needs to be provided? What if, instead, there's too much of something unhealthy? Something that's toxic to the body. Identifying and eliminating THAT would be the key to healing. On this episode, I talk about the importance of this concept. The importance of knowing what NOT to do. The importance of recognizing your body's need to Detox… and what the first step of any Detox program should be.  Give this episode a good listen, especially if you've been struggling to get healed from a chronic condition.

If you feel like you should be hiring, delegating, or building a team but your numbers aren't reflecting that growth, this episode is going to challenge that decision. In this episode of The Real Truth About Business podcast, I'm breaking down why outsourcing too soon is one of the fastest ways to hurt your profitability and stall your business strategy. This is for service-based entrepreneurs who are stuck in a revenue plateau, feeling overwhelmed, and thinking the solution is to hire more help. After 9 years of experience, I can tell you that's not always the answer. Inside this episode, I walk you through when outsourcing actually makes sense, how to identify real bottlenecks in your pipeline and sales process, and how to protect your profit while still scaling your business.What You'll Learn:Why outsourcing too soon can decrease your profit instead of increasing itHow to identify whether you need strategy or support in your businessThe difference between hiring for capacity vs hiring for statusHow to determine if something is actually worth delegatingWhy understanding your sales process and pipeline matters before hiringHow to make outsourcing decisions that support real revenue growthEpisode Highlights:[00:00] Introduction: The “hire more” message in the online space[03:00] Why outsourcing has become a status symbol[06:00] Profit vs workload: what actually matters[10:00] Real example: paying a team but not paying yourself[14:00] Why doing everything yourself can reveal what actually matters[18:00] The danger of outsourcing without understanding strategy[21:00] Identifying real bottlenecks in your business[24:00] When outsourcing actually makes sense[26:00] Final thoughts on hiring strategicallyKey Takeaways:Hiring Does Not Automatically Mean GrowthHere's what I see constantly. Business owners assuming that hiring is the next step to scale.After 9 years of working with service-based entrepreneurs, I can tell you that's not always true.Hiring without strategy does not create growth. It creates expense.You can have a full team and still not be profitable. And that's the part no one talks about.A profitable solo business will always outperform an unprofitable business with multiple contractors.Profit Should Always Be the PriorityOutsourcing should increase your profitability, not just decrease your workload.That's the standard.If hiring someone is not:Creating more revenueIncreasing your capacity to sellImproving your conversion rateThen it's not supporting your business growth.Inside the Focused Visionary Framework, this directly impacts your Pricing and Pipeline pillars. Because every expense you add affects your bottom line.Most People Don't Know What They're Actually OutsourcingThis is one of the biggest issues.You hire someone because:You don't like doing itIt takes too longSomeone told you toBut you haven't asked:Do I even need this?When you don't understand the strategy behind what you're outsourcing, you also don't know:What success looks likeWhat ROI should beWhether it's actually workingAnd that's how money gets wasted.You Might Not Be as Busy as You ThinkThis one might sting a little.Most service-based entrepreneurs are not overwhelmed with essential work. They're overwhelmed with unnecessary work.That could look like:Creating content that doesn't convertBeing on platforms that don't bring clientsOvercomplicating your marketingWhen you strip your business back to what actually drives revenue growth, you often realize you don't need as much help as you thought.Hire to Solve a Bottleneck, Not a FeelingThis is the shift.You don't hire because you feel overwhelmed.You hire because you've identified a specific bottleneck:You're at capacity with clientsYou can't take on more sales callsA repeatable process is slowing you downWhen you know exactly what the problem is, you can hire the right support to fix it.That's how outsourcing strengthens your sales process instead of complicating it.Strategy Comes Before SupportThis is one of the most important takeaways.If your pipeline isn't working, hiring someone to bring in more leads won't fix it.If your conversion rate is low, more visibility won't fix it.You need to understand:Where your leads are coming fromHow they're moving through your sales processWhere they're getting stuckOnly then does outsourcing make sense.Otherwise, you're just adding more activity without improving results.You Need to Know If You Need Brains or HandsThis is the simplest way to look at it.Do you need:Strategy (brains)Execution (hands)Most people hire hands when they actually need brains.They hire someone to do the work before they understand what the work should be.And that disconnect is what leads to wasted time, money, and energy.Smart Outsourcing Supports Sustainable GrowthOutsourcing is not the problem.Timing is.When done correctly, outsourcing:Frees up your time for revenue-generating activitiesStrengthens your pipelineImproves your sales processIncreases your profitBut when done too soon, it does the opposite.That's why this decision matters so much.Because the goal is not just to grow your business.It's to grow it profitably.Resources MentionedSubscribe to Back Pocket Insights for FREEBook a CEO Strategy Call Learn more about The Missing Piece IntensiveLearn more about The Focused Visionary AcceleratorDownload the FREE Lead and Conversion TrackerSubscribe to the Sunday Morning Brew NewsletterAbout the Host:Michelle DeNio is a business strategist based in Sarasota, Florida, specializing in helping service-based entrepreneurs break through revenue plateaus using her Focused Visionary Framework.

Medical aesthetics is one of the few areas of healthcare where practice owners have real control over pricing. Because most services are cash pay, med spas are not waiting on insurance reimbursements or negotiating with carriers. Yet many practices give away that advantage by running constant promotions and training patients to shop for the lowest Botox price.  In this solo episode, I explain how deep discounts create margin erosion, weaken patient loyalty, and push the industry toward commoditization. I also share how stronger consultations, treatment plans, and value-based pricing can improve retention, patient experience, and clinic profitability without turning every appointment into a sales pitch. Discounts Train Patients to Wait for the Next Offer  Discounts can fill the schedule for a weekend, but they also change how patients see the practice. When every holiday comes with a coupon, patients learn that the listed price is temporary and the service is interchangeable. That is how Botox pricing and injectables start to feel like retail products instead of medical treatments.  Patients who choose a practice based only on price are also difficult to retain. They may come in for the promotion and leave as soon as another clinic advertises a better deal. You pay to acquire them, give up margin on the treatment, and still have no lasting customer relationship to show for it. Run the Numbers Before You Run the Promotion  A discount should never be approved simply because the calendar is slow or a competitor launched one. Before lowering the price, look at what the offer does to gross profit, cash flow, future capacity, and patient behavior. Promotional revenue can look impressive while the economics underneath it tell a very different story.  Calculate treatment margin after product cost, provider compensation, payment fees, and promotional spending  Measure how many discounted patients return and rebook at full price  Compare customer acquisition cost with patient lifetime value  Account for prepaid packages as future treatment obligations rather than immediate profit  Review inventory levels before promoting injectables or retail products  Determine whether the offer supports a broader treatment plan or only creates a one-time visit  Give the team clear language to explain value, outcomes, and next steps without relying on aggressive sales techniques  If the numbers only work when patients purchase more later, be honest about how often that actually happens. Upselling cannot carry the strategy when your intake, follow-up, and rebooking systems are not built to support it.  (00:05:43) Building lasting patient relationships (00:09:01) Setting confident pricing for services (00:10:40) Understanding value versus effort (00:15:21) Shifting from retail to patient focus (00:16:31) Improving client intake and planning (00:19:37) Identifying growth barriers for practices  Lead the Consultation With Medical Authority  A patient consultation should feel like clinical guidance, not a review of services and prices. Patients come to you because they want a result and need help understanding which treatments will get them there. When providers lead with patient education, set realistic expectations, and recommend a clear treatment plan, price becomes one part of the decision rather than the entire conversation.  This also creates a better patient experience. People are more likely to follow through, rebook, and trust future recommendations when they understand why the plan was created. Value-based pricing works when the practice can clearly connect its expertise, care, and treatment strategy to the outcome the patient wants. Patient Loyalty Creates More Predictable Growth  Practices that depend on promotions often see the same pattern: a rush of cash, a crowded schedule, and then another dip. That volatility makes financial management harder because staffing, inventory management, and marketing decisions are being made around short-term spikes instead of reliable demand.  A medicine-first approach creates cleaner practice growth. Strong treatment plans, consistent rebooking, and better customer retention increase patient lifetime value and make cash flow easier to forecast. Over time, that stability gives you room to improve margins, invest in your team, and expand without constantly discounting the work that built your reputation. A med spa with medical authority and loyal patients has far more control over its pricing, profitability, and future.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon: Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/ Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

In this episode of the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, host Josh Hadley shares his proven strategy for doubling business growth by identifying and eliminating bottlenecks. He recommends conducting a time study to pinpoint where time is being consumed, then hiring specifically to relieve that constraint. Whether it's PPC management or product sourcing, freeing up the founder's time allows focus on growth opportunities like new product launches or expanding sales channels. Josh cautions against hiring roles that don't address the real bottleneck, drawing from his own costly mistakes, and notes that while AI can help, human oversight remains essential.Bullet Points:Strategy for doubling and accelerating business growthImportance of identifying business constraints or bottlenecksConducting time studies to pinpoint where time is being spentHiring specifically to relieve identified bottlenecksRole of AI in business operations and the need for human oversightCommon bottlenecks in ecommerce, such as PPC management and product sourcingThe cycle of identifying constraints, hiring for them, and focusing on growthCaution against hiring roles that do not address the main constraintImportance of ongoing attention and iteration in the hiring processBuilding a scalable and sustainable business through disciplined approachesTimestamps:00:00:00 Introduction to the Ecomm Breakthrough PodcastHost Josh Hadley introduces himself, his ecommerce background, and the podcast's purpose of sharing strategies for business growth.00:00:56 The Key to Doubling Your BusinessJosh reveals his number one strategy for rapid business growth: identifying and hiring for the main constraint or bottleneck.00:01:52 Identifying the Business BottleneckAn example of how a growing ecommerce business hits a bottleneck, such as PPC management consuming the founder's time.00:02:52 How to Find Your ConstraintJosh recommends conducting a two-week time study for yourself and your team to pinpoint where time is being spent.00:03:52 Solving the Bottleneck: Hiring vs. AIDiscusses two solutions for a constraint: hiring a person or using AI, emphasizing the need for human oversight with AI.00:04:50 Reinvesting Time into GrowthOnce a constraint is solved, the founder's freed-up time must be redirected toward new growth opportunities like product launches.00:05:46 The Evolution of a Business OwnerDescribes the ongoing cycle of identifying a new bottleneck, hiring to solve it, and reinvesting time into further growth.00:06:40 The Danger of Hiring for the Wrong RoleJosh shares personal examples of hiring for roles that were not the actual business constraint, which proved to be mistakes.00:07:38 A Real-Life Hiring DilemmaJosh recounts his decision between hiring a Director of HR versus a Director of Ecommerce by identifying the true constraint.00:09:36 Final Warning and ConclusionA final caution against hiring roles based on what other companies are doing instead of focusing on your own bottleneck.Links and Mentions:E-commerce Platforms:  "Shopify": "00:00:00"  "TikTok Shop": "00:00:00"  "Amazon": "00:00:00"  Business Concepts and Tools:  "Hiring for the Constraint": "00:00:56"  "Time Study": "00:02:52"  "AI Agents": "00:03:52"  Recommendations:  "Hiring Strategy": "00:09:36"  Call to Action:  "Share and Subscribe": "00:10:21"Transcript:Josh Hadley 00:00:00  Today, I'm going to share with you the best way I know how to double a business and help it grow even faster. Welcome to the Ecomm Breakthrough Podcast, I'm Josh Hadley. I've scaled my own ecommerce brand from 0 to 8 figures, and I'm actively building towards nine figures in sales. This podcast is where I document that journey and share the systems, the strategies, and the lessons learned in real time so that you can learn what actually matters and scale your own business. My name is Josh Hadley. First and foremost, I'm a man of faith. I'm a husband to a beautiful wife and the father of four children. I've been selling in the e-commerce space for over a decade now, doing over $20 million in annual revenue and multi-millionaire on Shopify, TikTok shop and Amazon. And I am also the host of the number one business strategy podcast for ecommerce entrepreneurs, which is Ecomm Breakthrough. So let's dive into how I would double or grow a business. What is this magic trick that I'm saying that, hey, this is the exact best way that I know how to grow a business the fastest.Josh Hadley 00:00:56  And that simply comes down to hiring for the constraint of the business. Nothing more and nothing less. And I'm going to talk about why this is so important, because ultimately, every business at every part of its pathway is going to hit a constraint. This is also referred to as the bottleneck for a business where, you know, things are flowing, flowing, flowing until you get to the bottleneck. And then it just seems like things really slow down. Now let's talk about like what is the true constraint? Like, let's give you some ideas. When I say constraint to the business, I want to give you a few examples of what that actually looks like in an e-commerce perspective. And then we're going to talk about why hiring is the solution to that. Or it could also be AI by the way. So let's talk about that and how I'm going to basically relieve the bottleneck of the business and point it in a different direction. So let's talk about this. A new e-commerce entrepreneur that gets started on Amazon and finds some initial success.Josh Hadley 00:01:52  First and foremost, you've got to go find some products. You got to go source those products. You got to then get them launched up on Amazon. And then you need to manage those products and make sure that they're successful. Well, if you can continue to do that, rinse and repeat Time and time again. Eventually, it's going to get to a point in time where the founder is no longer able to do everything themselves, and ultimately, the bottleneck will reveal itself in whatever processes in the business takes the most time and is the most labor intensive. So let's for a hypothetical situation. Let's say PPC is the constraint. In this case, the business owner has launched product after product after product. They found really good opportunities, but then PPC just continues to suck up more and more and more of their time. So much so that now they spend less time coming out with new products, because what used to be only a few hours a week has now turned into 20 or 30 hours of their week.Josh Hadley 00:02:52  Just trying to manage and optimize PPC campaigns and day partying, and staying up to date with the latest and best practices on PPC. So if that's the case, and how do you reveal where your time is going? Go back and take a look at my two week time study. This is how you identify the bottleneck of the business by actually going through the processes, understanding where your time is going, and this applies to you and your team if you have an existing team. They should all be doing this time study. That's how you're going to reveal where the bottleneck in the business truly sits. So let's say we're going to go solve for this bottleneck. I've got two possible solutions. I can eit...

My conversation with David Perell, host of the "How I Write" podcast and a truly prolific creator, took my understanding to a whole new level. He's one of the few people who has consistently challenged my thinking on how we communicate ideas effectively. In this episode, I dove deep with David into critical questions like: Does writing still hold its weight in today's crowded digital landscape? What specific elements should creators prioritize to make their words resonate? And importantly, how do you stand out when everyone else is shouting? David shares his incredible insights into the craft of writing, the power of observation, and his unique philosophy on identifying and leveraging "currents" to amplify your message. This was easily one of my favorite conversations on the show.Timestamps:00:00 Introduction01:15 Obsessed with the Craft of Writing02:45 The "Bit" as a Writing Concept05:10 Why People Struggle with Writing07:11 From Seeking Attention to Having Something to Say10:40 The Discipline of Public Writing13:58 Capturing and Curating Ideas20:05 Riding Internet Currents26:50 Identifying and Leveraging Currents32:10 Tying Timeless Ideas to Timely Moments39:15 Uncorrelated Sources of Inspiration45:36 The "How I Write" Podcast47:20 Production Value and Set Design1:00:40 YouTube Growth and Packaging1:04:40 The Guest Maximization Strategy1:10:00 Creating "The Modern World" Series1:16:00 The Modern Pollution of Man-Made Environment1:19:30 Interplay of the Creator Economy and the Modern World1:22:15 Creating the World You Want to Live In1:29:26 Using Art and History to Hone Taste1:34:00 The Soul-Stirring Work1:35:40 Where to Find DavidIf you enjoyed this episode, please like and subscribe, share it with your friends, and leave a review.

In this episode, Amanda, Laura, and Kendra explore schema therapy and its relevance to physicians, focusing on how deep-rooted patterns from childhood influence burnout and professional behavior. They discuss practical ways to recognize and respond to these schemas to foster well-being and resilience. Key Topics: Schema therapy basics and history How schemas develop in childhood Impact of schemas on physician burnout Coping styles: avoidance, overcompensation, surrender Steps to identify and respond to schemas Practical reflection questions for self-awareness Case example of schema response to patient complaint Takeaways: Schemas are deeply learned emotional patterns from childhood. Medicine often rewards coping strategies that may be harmful long-term. Naming and recognizing schemas can help in choosing healthier responses. The goal is not to eliminate schemas but to notice and respond from the wise adult. Understanding your schemas can restore agency and reduce burnout.

Instead, he has a much broader landscape in the mindset shifts and tools he's going to be able to share with us. I know are going to be able to have a tremendous impact on your business.

So with that introduction, welcome to the show, Mario.Mario 00:00:58  Josh, thank you so much for having me on the show. I'm really excited, and I think you and I were going to have a powerful conversation filled with lots of value for your listeners.Josh 00:01:07  One of those inner thoughts in my mind, when I'm having to make either a difficult decision or I have to slow down in order to like create an SOP or to hire a team member because, you know, that's that's the next step. That's what needs to happen. My frustration is I think that those should what are the things I know I should be doing? And it's more along the lines of, I should have a $100 million business. I look at all the other successful e-commerce businesses. I feel like I'm just as capable as they are, but I'm doing something wrong. I'm spending too much time on these little tasks and I'm making this a little decision, like, why am I not at that $100 million already? And what what would you say to that? Like, I feel like that's what's kind of like deep down. Like I have this vision of I love my potential, but I'm not there yet, right? And so I beat myself up.Mario 00:02:07  Yeah. This is a classical one.Mario 00:02:09  And again, I want to honor you for stepping one step further out. And I think a lot of your listeners will be will resonate with that because they look at where they are and then they tell themselves, I'm not where I'm supposed to be. There's so much inside of me that can be brought up. And, you know, it's true. There is so much more inside of you that can be brought out. But the reason it's not already out is because actually, you do not want the 100 million. Because if you have the 100 million, you know that there's something that's going to increase. Often in a mental perspective, the amount of problems will increase, right? That's why they say biggie made the song. More money, more problems, more responsibility, more, more being on your own because, you know, you climb the mountain even higher and so. Less people to relate to. If you're the 100 million guy, maybe in your family, you're the only one. And so nobody really, truly knows how Josh feels when Josh is by himself.Mario 00:03:09  And so all of that is what I call a self-sabotaging mechanism, where you tell yourself consciously, yep, I want the $100 million business. But unconsciously you are scared of that. Because here's the thing what a self-sabotaging mechanism is. It's your conscious mind working against your unconscious mind. And if you've ever seen the picture of the iceberg where you know, you see the tiny peak above the water and the huge body underneath, your unconscious mind makes up about 95% of everything. So if you are like, yes, I want that $100 million business, your unconscious mind. No bro no no no no no, not gonna happen. That's way too much. So first of all, I would have you look at the reality of the way that you're showing up and divorce this idea that what you want is the $100 billion business. Because if your behavior shows the opposite, what you really want is you want to stay safe. You want to stay in control. You want to stay in your comfort zone. And there's nothing wrong with that.Mario 00:04:12  That's the first realization that I would bring in. And then second is to look at what is it that's missing for you if you truly want to get to that $100 million level, there are certain needs that you have that are currently not being fulfilled. It might be more of a support system. It might be someone like a coach or a...
