In this episode, I'm talking all about implementing classroom routines as we head into the second semester. This time of year can feel exciting and overwhelming all at once, especially when we realize we're already halfway through the school year with our students. I share why routines matter so much—particularly in upper elementary—and how they create predictability, calm, and valuable “white space” that allows students to focus their energy on learning instead of figuring out what to do.I walk through a clear, five-step process for teaching routines in a way that actually sticks. We start by getting clear on the routine and its purpose, then explicitly teaching it, modeling it (both the right and wrong way), practicing with feedback, and finally reinforcing and resetting as needed. I explain why slowing down during the implementation phase is so important, even when it feels tedious, and how that upfront investment pays off later with smoother days and a more focused literacy block.I also share encouragement for those moments when routines inevitably break down. Resetting a routine doesn't mean you failed—it means your students need a reminder, more practice, or clearer expectations. With consistency, clarity, and intentional practice, routines will eventually become second nature, helping your classroom run more smoothly and giving you more energy for the parts of teaching you love most. As you head back into your classroom, remember that strong routines aren't built in a day—but they are worth the time it takes to build them well.Join us in the Stellar Literacy Collective Membership: stellarteacher.com/join!Sign up for my FREE private podcast, the Confident Writer Systems Series, here!Sign up for my FREE Revision Made Easy email series here!Follow me on Instagram @thestellarteachercompany.To check out all of the resources from this episode, head to the show notes: https://www.stellarteacher.com/episode285.Mentioned in this episode:Join us for the Routine Reset.Learn more about the Stellar Teacher Routine Reset PD Pack and resource deals: stellarteacher.com/reset

This episode explores what China's subnational climate experiments tell us about the possibilities and limits of climate leadership in an era of intensified geopolitics. We discuss how China's domestic governance dynamics matter for international climate cooperation and competition, especially as Chinese actors become central in the global low-carbon transition. Thus, we turn our attention away from headline-grabbing climate summits and national pledges to examine the less visible, but often decisive, actors shaping China's low-carbon transition. Implementing a Low-Carbon Future: Climate Leadership in Chinese Cities (Oxford University Press, 2025), a new book by Weila Gong, opens the black box of subnational climate governance in China and asks: who actually makes low-carbon policy work on the ground? Our guest, Weila Gong, is a visiting scholar at UC Davis's Center for Environmental Policy and Behavior and a nonresident scholar at UC San Diego's 21st Century China Center. She has held fellowships at Georgetown, Harvard, and UC Berkeley School of Law, and brings more than a decade of experience studying the politics and policies of low-carbon energy transitions in China. Her work is timely. Despite being the world's largest carbon emitter, China has pledged to peak carbon emissions before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality by 2060, commitments that place it at the center of global climate cooperation and competition. We're recording this episode in November 2025 as COP30 unfolds in Brazil, and at a moment when China is stepping into a more assertive role as a climate-technology power. Chinese officials and firms increasingly frame the country's dominance in renewables, electric vehicles, and clean-energy supply chains as central to the global transition. Yet, as Gong's book shows, climate leadership is not only forged through clean technologies or in international negotiating rooms and national policy announcements. It is also built, often unevenly, across hundreds of cities and counties within China. At the heart of this variation, Gong identifies a pivotal group of actors: mid-level local bureaucrats. These officials function as “bridge leaders,” translating national directives into locally workable policies, mediating between political leadership changes, and sustaining experimentation over time. In doing so, they challenge top-down views of China's climate governance and reveal how bottom-up dynamics shape both domestic outcomes and China's role as a global climate leader.

Judge Milton Mack shares his mission to reform the mental health system by moving from crisis intervention to early treatment and prevention. His groundbreaking work in Michigan demonstrates how changing laws and procedures can dramatically improve outcomes while reducing costs. • Moving from an inpatient model to an outpatient world where over 90% of mental health care now occurs • Changing intervention standards to help people before they reach crisis, not waiting for the "magic moment" of danger • Implementing mediation for mental health cases to increase engagement and compliance • Creating a system that reduces trauma by avoiding unnecessary hospitalization and incarceration • Demonstrating success through Genesee County's 70% reduction in hospitalization and 90% treatment compliance • Building coordinated stakeholder systems where law enforcement, hospitals, courts and treatment providers work together • Focusing on upstream solutions to prevent people from entering the criminal justice system • Recognizing that early intervention in mental health is as important as early intervention for cancer We need to intervene early—we wouldn't wait to treat someone with cancer when they're stage four, and we do just as much damage by waiting to treat mental illness. Assisted outpatient treatment is the most humane option, far better than hospitalization, jail, or homelessness. This approach benefits everyone. https://tonymantor.com https://Facebook.com/tonymantor https://instagram.com/tonymantor https://twitter.com/tonymantor https://youtube.com/tonymantormusic intro/outro music bed written by T.

Why is maintaining law firm culture important during growth? Preserving the culture of a law firm during growth is crucial to retaining key employees and maintaining the firm’s unique identity. As a law firm expands, the risk of losing valued team members increases if the culture shifts away from its original values. Ensuring that the culture remains intact helps foster loyalty and happiness among employees, creating a cohesive and supportive work environment. What strategies can law firm owners use to maintain their firm’s culture as it grows? Law firm owners can employ various strategies to uphold their firm’s culture during growth. By prioritizing authenticity and intentionality, owners can ensure that the core values and identity of the firm remain consistent. Establishing clear communication channels, fostering collaboration, and recognizing individual contributions are key ways to sustain the culture through periods of expansion. How can intentional culture-building differ from accidental culture evolution in a law firm setting? Intentional culture-building involves deliberately setting and upholding a specific culture that aligns with the firm’s values and goals. On the other hand, accidental culture evolution occurs when the firm’s culture develops organically without intentional guidance. Recognizing the difference between the two approaches allows law firm owners to proactively shape their culture and maintain its authenticity as the firm grows. How can law firm culture impact client relationships and employee retention? A strong law firm culture can positively impact client relationships and employee retention by creating a cohesive and supportive work environment. Clients are attracted to firms with a distinct culture that reflects the firm’s values and commitment to excellence. Similarly, employees are more likely to stay with a firm that prioritizes their well-being and fosters a sense of belonging through a positive and inclusive culture. What challenges do law firm owners face in preserving culture during periods of growth? Law firm owners encounter challenges such as time constraints and financial pressures when trying to preserve their firm’s culture during growth. The demands of managing a larger team and navigating increased financial responsibilities can strain the firm’s culture if not addressed proactively. Balancing these challenges requires strategic planning, open communication, and a commitment to upholding the core values that define the firm’s culture. How can law firm owners safeguard their firm’s culture as it expands? To safeguard their firm’s culture during expansion, law firm owners should prioritize authenticity, communication, and employee well-being. By clearly defining and consistently reinforcing the firm’s values, owners can guide the growth process in a way that preserves the unique culture and identity of the firm. Encouraging transparency, fostering a sense of community, and adapting policies to support a positive work environment are essential steps in safeguarding the firm’s culture. What steps can law firm owners take to maintain a client-focused and team-oriented culture as the firm grows? Maintaining a client-focused and team-oriented culture requires law firm owners to prioritize collaboration, client satisfaction, and employee well-being. By emphasizing teamwork, supporting professional development, and celebrating client successes, owners can reinforce the values that define the firm’s culture. Implementing regular feedback mechanisms, recognizing individual contributions, and fostering a supportive work environment are key steps in sustaining a client-centered and cohesive culture throughout the firm’s growth.

Sue Straughan, a tenured hospitality specialist and Corporate Director of Business Solutions for the food distributor Ben E. Keith, shares her remarkable 40+ year journey in the industry, detailing how a necessity job at Baskin Robbins evolved into a profound passion. The discussion centers on her pivotal experience working for Houston's restaurant, where she learned that "chaos and hospitality could coexist in a way that was beautiful", and how she applied these high standards to help turn around the struggling James Coney Island chain. This success was achieved not by raising prices, but by relentlessly focusing on systems, consistency, team pride, and the overall guest experience, demonstrating that flawless execution on the basics is the key to driving sustained sales and word-of-mouth growth.10 Takeaways  Prioritize Execution over Complexity: The most successful businesses, especially in restaurants, focus on doing fewer things perfectly rather than many things averagely. This requires a constant discipline to maintain simplicity. Hospitality and Chaos Coexist: High-volume restaurants (like Houston's with 1-3 hour waits) prove that it's possible to execute 100% flawlessly and maintain composure ("calm in the middle of chaos") by having robust systems and an intentional team culture. The Menu Should Serve the Concept: Keep the menu small and focused (e.g., Houston's one-page, 22-item menu). Introduce new items only if they meet strict time standards (e.g., eight minutes at lunch) and, if needed, replace an existing item to prevent complexity creep. Structure and Systems Build Culture: Employees thrive when they know what is expected of them. Implementing detailed, consistent systems, from cleaning standards to specific service greetings, creates a "well-oiled machine" and instills a sense of pride in the team. Invest in Your Team's Pride: Simple things like new uniforms, standardized training, and daily pre-shift meetings can significantly boost team mentality, tenure, and passion by making employees feel valued and reinforcing the importance of their role. Sales Growth Should Precede Price Hikes: The turnaround at James Coney Island focused first on driving sales by improving the guest experience before considering raising prices. The four ways to drive sales are: raise prices, encourage higher spend per visit, increase visit frequency, or attract new customers. Focus on Low-Hanging Fruit for Revitalization: Start improvement efforts by addressing what the customer sees first, such as clean parking lots, fresh paint, working signage, and clear glass. These visual cues are essential for first impressions. Measure and Reward Hospitality: Implementing a rigorous system like a 10-page mystery shopper report, coupled with accountability and financial rewards for achieving high scores (e.g., $1,000 manager bonus), can directly correlate with rising sales. Focus on What You Can Control: Don't rely on external factors like the weather to drive business. Concentrate effort and resources on perfecting the inside of your four walls: the guest's experience from driving by to walking out. Reverse-Engineer Customer Frustration: Identify the top five things consumers are most frustrated with in your industry (e.g., long waits, inconsistent quality) and intentionally do the exact opposite to stand out and "blow their mind."

Do you ever feel like you're alone in your leadership?  Why is that? Why do so many church leaders feel isolated—and how did we come to believe that ministry is something we're supposed to do alone?In this episode, E.K. Strawser, author of You Were Never Meant to Lead Alone, unpacks what it means to move from solo leadership to a model shaped by shared responsibility and the APEST framework—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher—so that not only our churches, but our communities, can flourish.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Markus Watson invites discussion about the standard view of leadership and prompts E.K. Strawser to unpack its problems and what's missing.Church members often expect leaders to command control, draw crowds, or have significant contributions, which influences congregational dynamics.E.K. Strawser argues that modern church leadership borrows too heavily from secular business models rather than biblical principles of shared leadership.Traditional notions of leadership in churches leave congregations disempowered, dependent, or deprived when power is centered on a single leader.If a leader does not share leadership, the church risks losing members' sense of identity and purpose.E.K. Strawser emphasizes that effective leaders must be disciples of Jesus first, prioritizing spiritual maturity over skill sets.Leaders should embody humility, honor, hospitality, and hopefulness as markers of mature church leadership.Markus Watson notes that churches often select leaders for functional skills rather than spiritual maturity, highlighting a common problem in leadership development.Christian hospitality means making space for others, not just providing comfort or amenities.E.K. Strawser teaches congregations to celebrate and honor each other to counteract envy and encourage spiritual growth.Leaders foster environments where others can learn, heal, experience hospitality, seek justice, and be sent out for ministry.Markus Watson asks E.K. Strawser to explain the APEST framework and its practical value for sharing leadership in churches.All five APEST gifts—apostle, prophet, evangelist, shepherd, and teacher—should be represented in shared leadership structures at every level of church leadership.Implementing shared leadership and equipping environments requires intentional structure and ongoing relational attention.Change in church leadership provokes grief and resistance, so leaders must create environments that acknowledge loss, facilitate grieving, and cast clear vision.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:E.K.

Discover the shocking truth about why 99% of HVAC systems may be oversized and how insulation contractors hold the key to fixing comfort and efficiency problems. On this episode of the R-Value Podcast, IDI expert Ken Allison interviews Brynn Cooksey. Known as the "Air Doctor," Brynn is the owner of Air Doctors Heating and Cooling and an industry heavyweight who has trained over 10,000 technicians. Recognized as one of ESCO Institute's Top 25 Most Influential Instructors and a Certified Master Trainer by IREC, he combines 15 years of utility experience with substantial building science expertise to reduce customer utility bills by 50% or more. Many HVAC contractors fall into the trap of "box swapping," replacing old units with equipment of the same size without considering the home's actual needs. Brynn shares a startling statistic from a Michigan study where nearly every furnace inspected was grossly oversized, leading to comfort issues, premature equipment failure, and high energy bills. The conversation highlights why performing a proper Manual J load calculation is critical and how tight building envelopes fundamentally change heating and cooling requirements. Beyond temperature control, the discussion explores the vital connection between insulation, air sealing, and Indoor Air Quality (IAQ). Brynn explains his company's non-negotiable policy of testing IAQ on every single job and how using data from diagnostic tools—like blower doors and air monitors—builds unshakeable trust with homeowners. Listen in to learn how insulation professionals can partner with HVAC contractors to offer total home solutions that improve health, efficiency, and profitability. Inside this episode: 00:06:06 – The growing importance and market demand for BPI certifications. 00:14:41 – A shocking study reveals 99% of furnaces and 33% of AC units are oversized. 00:16:04 – How oversized equipment leads to "short cycling" and catastrophic mechanical failure. 00:25:04 – Why guessing air leakage is impossible and the necessity of using a blower door. 00:36:00 – Implementing a mandatory policy to test Indoor Air Quality on every service call. 00:46:45 – The "secret sauce" to closing sales: involving the customer in diagnostic testing.

Click Here: https://betterwealth.com/taxQuestions and Answers from the Podcast: Question: Can multiple unrelated business owners each rent the same property during the year, each personally stay there for 14+ days, and each legitimately use the Augusta Rule?Answer: Yes, technically they can. Each person can establish the property as their own “dwelling unit” for the required days. But doing this can likely be an audit magnet.Q2 (Reverse Augusta with a family member's home)Question: If a family member owns a home, can a business owner use that home for a business purpose and structure it so they receive the rental income instead of the family member, essentially a “reverse Augusta”?Answer: Yes, a reverse Augusta structure is possible, but it must be for a legitimate, defensible business purpose. Proper documentation is essential.Want a Life Insurance Policy? Go Here: https://bttr.ly/bw-yt-aa-clarity Want FREE Whole Life Insurance Resources & Education?

https://teachhoops.com/ The pressure from parents and external sources is often the single biggest stressor for coaches, frequently driving good people out of the profession entirely. It usually stems from a place of misguided love; parents naturally want the best for their child, but this desire often manifests as unrealistic expectations regarding playing time, role, and "exposure." This external noise becomes dangerous when it bleeds into the locker room, creating a "me vs. the coach" narrative that undermines the team culture. The "ride home" conversation, where a parent critiques the coach's decisions to their child, can undo a week's worth of confidence-building and coaching in a fifteen-minute car ride. The most effective defense against this pressure is proactive, brutal transparency. You cannot wait for a complaint to set a boundary. A mandatory pre-season parent meeting is essential, where you clearly articulate your coaching philosophy, your policy on playing time (e.g., "playing time is earned, not given"), and your communication protocols. Implementing a strict "24-Hour Rule"—where parents must wait one day after a game before contacting the coach with a concern—is a non-negotiable tool. This cooling-off period prevents emotional confrontations and allows logic to return to the conversation. Furthermore, coaches must make it clear that they will discuss a player's behavior, attitude, and improvement plan, but they will never discuss another player or strategy with a parent. Finally, managing external pressure requires a "shield the team" mentality. Whether the pressure is coming from parents, the administration, or the community demanding a championship, it is the coach's job to absorb that stress so the players don't feel it. You must constantly pivot the focus back to the "process"—the daily habits, the effort, and the development—rather than the outcome on the scoreboard. By keeping your communication consistent and your standards visible, you build a layer of insulation. You won't make everyone happy, but by being fair, communicative, and firm in your convictions, you earn the respect of the silent majority who simply want a positive environment for their kids.

If you know exactly what problems your customers face before and after they buy from you, you could build offers that practically sell themselves.In this episode, Greg breaks down his simple but powerful "before and after" formula. It starts by understanding the before: the frustrations, questions, and roadblocks your customers face long before they make a purchase. Solve that, and you earn the sale. But once you've solved it, new problems appear, and that's your opportunity to build trust, add value, and guide customers deeper into your ecosystem. We also look at how to map the entire customer journey so you can clearly see each problem in sequence. When you know the full chain of needs, you can build a product lineup that supports your customers at every step. Finally, we explore vertical integration: how smart businesses automate this whole process by owning more steps in the value chain. If you want a simple, repeatable way to grow, this episode is for you. Topics Discussed in this episode: The before and after formula (What problems are your customers facing?)

Staffing Challenges and Political Bias: The Gaza Peace Plan and the BBC. Mary Kissel details the challenges facing the State Department and NSC in implementing the Trump administration's urgent Gaza Peace Plan, noting staffing issues are delaying coordination. The plan, featuring an apolitical "Board of Peace," seeks international legitimacy despite the UN's prejudice against Israel. Kissel expresses little surprise regarding the BBC scandal, viewing the deliberate distortion of the President's video remarks as appalling and emblematic of an "embedded bias" against conservatives that is deep and unfixable. 1959 GAZA
