Podcasts about improving

⁠Michael Duke (better known as Mr. Dodgy, or @chessproblem on X) is a Chessable author, the co-founder of Chessfam, and co-host of the Chicken Chess Club podcast. He has built a large online following through his passion for chess and his sharp sense of humor. But behind the jokes, Michael has become more serious about improving his own game. With a FIDE rating just shy of 2100, Michael was frustrated that he consistently performed much better in rapid than in classical chess. In order to change that, he sought out GM Alex Colovic for coaching after trying several instructors. He worked to address the biggest weaknesses in his game, including lazy calculation and overly ambitious opening choices. The work paid off as he defeated a grandmaster for the first time at age 38 and later held GM David Howell to a draw in a rapid game. In our conversation, Michael shares what he learned about improving as an adult, why his rapid results have always been better than his OTB results, and the practical changes that helped close the gap. We also discuss Chessfam, the ambitious new platform he co-founded to make finding and entering chess tournaments easier, as well as his observations from the recent European Chess Union Congress and the upcoming FIDE presidential election.

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.

Robbie Deckard is a professional middle-distance triathlete and triathlon coach, and the founder of Freaky Fast Aero Accessories. In this episode, Robbie and Mikael dig into the real differences between American and European training methods, using lactate and VLaMax to optimise training and performance, and how age-group triathletes can apply lab-grade thinking to swim, bike and run training without actually going into a lab. HIGHLIGHTS AND KEY TOPICS: The real difference between FTP-centric American coaching and the German/Benelux style built around VLaMax, VO2max and physiological profiling. The evolution of VLaMax based training: from Alois Mader's 1970s model through Jan Olbrecht to current day coaches like Dan Lorang. Robbie's case for still doing dedicated VO2max work, including a case study that took an amateur cyclist's VO2max from 74 to 87 mL/kg/min over 58 weeks of block periodisation. Why building maximal aerobic power early is more valuable long-term than chasing threshold gains, and how that shapes the "durability" that separates junior and U23 cyclists from senior professional cyclists. How Robbie profiles athletes using LT1, LT2 and 5-minute power (or 500 yd swim time, or mile run time), and what typical percentage utilisation looks like for age-groupers versus elites. How he prescribes endurance, threshold and VO2max sessions in practice, including cues (power, pace, RPE), lactate targets, and why exact wattage precision on threshold work matters less than people think. Practical advice for age-groupers: open-water swim skills and ankle-band drills, running road races for pacing and durability, and hill running for strength and economy. Improving aerodynamics on a budget: reduce frontal area first, then refine airflow, and how to measure progress without a wind tunnel using Golden Cheetah or a simple speed sensor.

In this Podcast Extra, Join John as he answers a wide range of grower-submitted questions covering challenges in agriculture. The discussion focuses on managing high summer leaf temperatures, optimizing organic nitrogen budgets, and navigating severe base saturation imbalances. John emphasizes the critical connection between precise crop nutrition, active soil biology, and the natural suppression of destructive diseases and pests. Other topics discussed include: Managing nutrition and the microbiome through AEA's integrated approach to help achieve crop resistance to spotted wing drosophila in berries. Reducing pecan scab and weevil pressure by balancing trace minerals and applying AEA products like Pinion and PhotoMag. Evaluating plant metabolism and internal health by measuring sugar levels, EC, and pH/EH homeostasis on a sap analysis. Managing almond bloom diseases and pests like navel orange worm using AEA's Pinion alongside targeted applications of calcium and boron. Executing safe foliar applications of solubilized urea by managing overall solution concentration and electrolyte levels to prevent crop leaf burn. Improving late-season calcium absorption in fruit crops through soil shading and foliar boron applications.  Pre-blending AEA nutritional products before spraying to create a synergistic response because the formulations are designed to support living biology. Addressing insect pests like the apple borer using a foliar combination of AEA's PhotoMag, Rejuvenate, and Rebound Boron. Mitigating crop damage from herbicide drift using AEA products like SeaStim, MacroPak, MicroPak, HoloCal, and Rebound minerals to bind chelating herbicide molecules. Utilizing micronized mineral products like AEA's Accelerate and HoloCal to deliver fast results as leaf-surface microbes rapidly metabolize the minerals. Generating disproportionate crop responses in soil by fertigating and feeding rhizosphere microbes with the same consistency as foliar feeding. Increasing lipid levels in pasture forage through adequate soil levels of calcium, sulfur, and boron combined with strategic grazing management. Understanding how high sodium and chloride accumulation distorts refractometer brix readings by inflating total dissolved solids rather than indicating pure sugar content.

Lindsay explains why someone can be “too lean” to effectively build muscle even if they're eating at maintenance and maintaining body weight. She argues maintenance calories don't automatically mean an optimal physiological environment for growth because the body also evaluates energy reserves (body fat), recovery, training stress, sleep, and hormone signals like leptin, plus changes in estrogen and thyroid hormones that affect performance and recovery. Topics discussed:(00:00) - Welcome (01:31) - Social Media Body Bias (06:51) - Maintenance vs Reserves (08:08) - Budgeting Analogy Explained (11:58) - Hormones and Leptin (16:36) - Menopause Muscle Reality (18:58) - For Who and What Goal?

Text your thoughts and questions!We often think rest is something we earn after we've worked hard enough. We push through exhaustion, tell ourselves we'll slow down later, and believe that getting more done is the key to feeling better. But what if we've been thinking about rest all wrong?This week, in episode 323 of the Positively LivingⓇ Podcast, we're revisiting one of our most impactful conversations with Gary Ware, founder of Breakthrough Play, keynote speaker, certified coach, and bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. As part of our summer series on energy, stress, and nervous system regulation, this timely re-release explores why rest is essential—not as a reward for productivity, but as the foundation that makes sustainable productivity possible.Gary Ware is the founder of Breakthrough Play, a keynote speaker, certified coach, and the bestselling author of Playful Rebellion. Through applied improvisation, positive psychology, and the science of play, Gary helps individuals and organizations reduce stress, strengthen communication, spark creativity, and build more sustainable ways of working. His mission is to help people challenge the belief that productivity requires constant hustle and instead embrace play and rest as powerful tools for greater impact, innovation, and well-being.In this conversation, Gary introduces three distinct types of rest—macro, micro, and meso—and explains how each one helps reduce stress, restore creativity, and support your energy in different ways. He also shares why play isn't childish, why entrepreneurs often resist rest the most, and how small shifts can dramatically improve your focus, well-being, and impact.Key Takeaways:Rest isn't something you earn. It's something that allows you to do your best work.Chronic stress keeps your brain in fight, flight, or freeze mode, reducing creativity, empathy, and clear thinking.Better sleep isn't always about getting more hours. Improving the quality of your sleep can make a significant difference.A consistent wind-down routine helps your body transition into restorative sleep.Macro rest focuses on deep restoration through quality sleep and recovery.Micro rest consists of short five-minute breaks throughout the day that help reset your brain and restore energy between tasks.Scrolling social media or checking email isn't true rest. Choose activities that genuinely recharge you instead.Meso rest means intentionally stepping away from work for several hours, a day, or longer to pursue hobbies, family time, or activities that bring joy.Hobbies aren't a luxury—they help your brain make creative connections and improve problem-solving.Play looks different for everyone. The goal isn't to do what others find fun, but to discover what genuinely restores and energizes you.Sustainable productivity begins with honoring your energy, not constantly pushing through exhaustion.Rest isn't the opposite of productivity—it's what makes productivity sustainable. When you give yourself permission to rest before you're completely depleted, you create space for greater creativity, better decisions, stronger relationships, and more meaningful work. What would change if you stopped trying to earn your rest and started treating it as one of your greatest strengths?Thank you for listening!

If you ever wonder, “Why am I so hard on myself, and how do I stop letting self criticism run my life?” then we need to talk… because that harsh inner critic is doing more harm than good! In this episode of the Let's Talk About Mental Health podcast, I'm talking about being hard on yourself: that harsh inner voice that picks everything apart, keeps you stuck in negative self-talk, and makes you believe you have to beat yourself up in order to improve. Spoiler alert: you don't. Because being too hard on yourself doesn't make you stronger, or more disciplined, or more successful; it usually fuels self-criticism and anxiety, low self-worth, fear of failure, and that horrible feeling that nothing you do is ever good enough. So, in this episode, I'll help you understand where your inner critic comes from, why that self-critical voice feels so convincing, and how to stop putting yourself down without pretending everything is fine. I'll walk you through practical mental health tips for inner critic healing, including how to be less hard on yourself, how to create space from painful thoughts, and how to move forward with more kindness, confidence, and peace. 

This week we look at improving the health of children and young Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples through participation. “The MJA acknowledges the Traditional Owners and Custodians of the land on which we live and work across Australia.  This podcast was recorded on the lands of the Wangal people. I pay my respects to their Elders past and present.”  Dr Jordan Cory a Kamilaroi woman and Bonnie Dukakis a Gunditjmara woman who were co-authors of an MJA paper on participation of Indigenous children and young people to improve health and wellbeing.  In this podcast, they talk to Sally Block about the paper and many other aspects of the health of young Indigenous peoples. Cultural safety is explored and described - as not another tick a box alongside fire training in an organisation - but an evolving commitment. Ms Dukasis is the CEO of The Koori Youth Council in Melbourne and we find out what they are doing for Indigenous young people.

As pharmaceutical manufacturers work to reduce energy consumption and meet sustainability targets, attention is expanding beyond core production processes to the utility systems that support manufacturing. Steam systems, which play a critical role in sterilization, heating, and HVAC operations, can account for a significant share of a facility's energy consumption. Yet things like manual inspection practices and undetected steam trap failures often leave manufacturers with unnecessary energy losses, higher emissions, and increased operating costs. In this episode of Off Script, sponsored by Emerson, we spoke with Tom Belling, global director of Life Sciences at Emerson, about the growing role utilities play in pharmaceutical sustainability strategies, and the significance of steam systems within that. The conversation explores why steam systems have become an important opportunity for improving operational efficiency and how continuous monitoring technologies are helping manufacturers identify failures earlier without disrupting operations. Belling also discusses how wireless sensing, acoustic monitoring, and data-driven maintenance can improve reliability, support sustainability, and reduce maintenance costs while protecting product quality.

What if one of the most powerful tools for improving your health is something you do more than 20,000 times a day? In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Sachin Patel, a leading voice in functional medicine, to explore why breathing is far more than a survival mechanism. Together, we discuss how the way we breathe influences the brain, nervous system, metabolism, sleep, emotional resilience, and overall health, making breathwork one of the most accessible yet overlooked tools in modern healthcare. We dive into the science of nose versus mouth breathing, the connection between breath and the autonomic nervous system, and why proper breathing can support immune function, stress regulation, and restorative sleep. Dr. Patel also shares practical strategies for improving breathing patterns and explains why he believes the breath is the "lead domino" that can positively influence nearly every system in the body. If you're looking for a simple, science-backed way to improve your health, reduce stress, and optimize the way your body functions through better breathing, this conversation is a must-listen. Key takeaways: Discover how nose breathing helps regulate air quality and enhance lung microbiomes while mouth breathing can contribute to health issues like anxiety, cavities, and sleep disruptions. Effective breathing practices can shift the autonomic nervous system, enabling the body to enter a parasympathetic state for healing. Mouth taping at night and breathing exercises can significantly enhance sleep quality, metabolic function, and reduce anxiety. The simplicity of breathwork makes it a highly accessible yet powerful tool for anyone looking to improve their health. The Breathing Belt is introduced as a tool to strengthen the diaphragm and boost overall respiratory efficiency. More About Dr. Sachin Patel: Dr. Sachin Patel is a functional medicine practitioner, speaker, author, and founder of The Living Proof Institute, where he pioneered a precision, patient-centered approach to healthcare. Passionate about transforming the future of medicine, he has trained hundreds of practitioners worldwide through his Perfect Practice Mentorship Program, empowering them to deliver personalized, accessible care to their communities. Known for his philosophy that "the doctor of the future is the patient," Dr. Patel helps people activate their body's innate healing capacity through lifestyle medicine, breathwork, and conscious living. Through his teaching, coaching, and advocacy, he continues to bridge the gap between modern healthcare and self-empowered wellness, inspiring both patients and practitioners to rethink what's possible for long-term health.

This episode is a masterclass in what actually helps ultra runners improve over the long term. Everyday Ultra coach Hunter Foltz shares the lessons that took him from a collegiate golfer with no running background to completing Leadville 100, chasing the Lead Challenge, and preparing for Moab 240. Instead of focusing on race results, this conversation explores the habits, training decisions, and mindset shifts that create stronger, more resilient ultrarunners. Whether you're training for your first ultra or your fastest one yet, you'll walk away with practical insights you can apply to your own training and racing.In this episode, we cover:• Why treating your training like an experiment can unlock better race performances.• The fueling and hydration mistakes that quietly hold many ultra runners back.• How to build race-specific fitness—even if you don't live near mountains.• Why time on feet may matter more than mileage for ultramarathon success.• Why consistency beats perfection when building long-term fitness.• The importance of adapting your training to your own strengths instead of copying someone else's.• The everyday habits that separate runners who simply finish from those who continue improving year after year.SHOW LINKS:Want to be coached by me and my team to crush your next ultramarathon in our 1:1 coaching program?⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠Book a free call here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ with one of our coaches to see if we are a good fit!Want to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

Improving your communication skills improves your relationships. You can take a soft communication approach in your toxic, dysfunctional, and healthy relationships, and it will make a huge difference.  In dysfunctional and toxic relationships, there is pent up emotional energy that comes out in all interactions and especially with conflict. Healthy people also react when something triggers defensiveness.  It is easy to react intensely to people without intending to which can spiral into more drama. You cannot control what other people do or how they react, but you can control how you interact. Learning how to take a soft communication approach in all your relationships is a skill you need to develop. Watch this video to learn how. Karla Downing's passion is to see individuals, marriages, and families set free from dysfunction, scriptural misunderstanding, and emotional pain personally and relationally. Her Christian relationship advice includes messages, books, and classes that provide practical solutions grounded in biblical truths, bringing balance and clarity to life and relationship issues. She also desires to equip ministry leaders and counselors to reach out more effectively to those struggling with difficult relationships, including abuse.  #communication skills #toxic relationships #dysfunctional relationships #healthyrelationship  #Christianrelationshipadvice    Website: https://www.changemyrelationship.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ChangeMyRelationship YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@changemyrelationship Watch this video on YouTube: https://youtu.be/gPGLaYlP3Nk

Item analysis can sound intimidating, especially for educators who were trained as clinicians first and teachers second. But when used well, it can become one of the most valuable tools for improving assessments, clarifying instruction, and supporting student success. In this episode of Airway Exchange, hosts Erin and Louisa welcome in Valerie Diaz, DNP, CRNA, PMHNP-BC, APRN, CNE, CHSE, FAANA, CAPT (Ret), USN and Pedro Hernandez, DNP, CRNA, APRN to break down the importance of item analysis, a topic they presented at AANA's EDGE event earlier this year. Just as CRNAs constantly refine their clinical practice, educators should continually evaluate, reflect, and improve the tools they use to assess learning. Better assessments lead to better education. Better education ultimately leads to better patient care. Here's some of what you'll hear in this episode:

This conversation delves into the intricacies of managing hunting properties, focusing on soil health, water sources, and the behavioral ecology of deer. The speakers emphasize the importance of creating a closed-loop system for soil health, the strategic placement of water holes to attract wildlife, and the integration of aquatic ecosystems to enhance hunting success. They share personal experiences and practical advice for land management, aiming to maximize the effectiveness of hunting properties. In this conversation, the speakers discuss the importance of ecosystem health, particularly in relation to pond management and wildlife. They emphasize the need for sustainable practices that enhance soil and forage quality while minimizing reliance on chemical interventions. The discussion also covers the significance of water resources in maintaining healthy ecosystems and the impact of current land management practices on wildlife health. The speakers advocate for a shift in mentality towards more holistic and ecologically sound approaches to land management. takeaways Take a broader view of soil function. Soil health discussions have matured over time. Quality plants attract quality animals. Water sources are critical for wildlife, especially in colder months. Placement of water holes should consider deer behavior. Integrate aquatic ecosystems for better wildlife management. Use native vegetation around water sources for better habitat. Understand the landscape of fear in deer behavior. Effective land management requires a holistic approach. Clean water leads to healthier wildlife. I struggle with pushing products; my loyalty is with people. Herbicides can be a medicine, but overuse is abuse. We need to create ecosystems that are abundant. Plant diversity increases insect populations, benefiting wildlife. Convenience often drives poor ecological practices. Improving forage quality is essential for wildlife health. Supplemental feeding can degrade natural forage intake. Clean water is critical for healthy ecosystems. Clear-cutting can negatively impact forage quality. Sustainable practices require a shift in mindset.   Social Social Links https://whitetaillandscapes.com/ https://www.facebook.com/whitetaillandscapes/ https://www.instagram.com/whitetail_landscapes/?hl=en https://www.theuntamedambition.com/ https://www.theuntamedambition.com/whitetailambition Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Episode 4083: Anthony Ongaro shares a simple productivity approach that focuses less on getting more done and more on sustaining your attention through a healthy balance of work, rest, connection, and everyday responsibilities. By organizing your days into four flexible categories instead of relying on complicated systems, he shows how protecting your energy can lead to better focus, greater consistency, and a more sustainable way of living. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.breakthetwitch.com/minimalist-productivity-system/ Quotes to ponder: "The most important part of any system is for it to not get too overwhelming so you actually, well, use it." "Rest or play can be just as productive if it's needed because they recharge us so that we can have more productive work times." "What we need to do instead is break up the process. Take a step back from the Work, get more water, and then return back to the fire."

Welcome back to Barn Talk! Today's episode is all about Taylor Moyer, a guy who swapped the fast lane of NASCAR for the wide-open spaces of cattle ranching outside Charlotte, North Carolina. The conversation focused on Taylor's wild ride from pit crews to pasture, where he's doubled his ranch's acreage, built his own family home, jumped into ag-tourism, dabbled in tech, gone viral on social media, and still found time to be a hands-on dad. A key theme that emerged was Taylor's willingness to shake up the status quo. The discussion explored how he made his dream of running a profitable ranch come true from scratch, why he doesn't stress about "the way it's always been done," and how he leans on new ideas like artificial intelligence to make things easier. Several points were raised about building great relationships, finding the right mentors, and being super intentional about why and how you do things especially when it comes to business and family. If you've ever wondered how to carve your own path in agriculture, balance work and home, or just love a good story about reinventing yourself and making it stick, you'll get plenty of laughs, encouragement, and real ideas from this episode. Taylor's journey proves that with curiosity, hustle, and the right people around you, you can blaze your own trail and really enjoy the ride.

Have you ever wondered whether a marketing expense is actually worth the money? In this episode, we explore three financial metrics every pet care business owner should understand before making decisions: client lifetime value, profit margin, and cost per visit. We discuss how these numbers remove guesswork from marketing, pricing, hiring, and growth decisions. We also explain how operational efficiency directly impacts profitability and long-term sustainability. By the end, we encourage you to calculate just one of these metrics so you can begin making more confident, data-driven decisions in your business. Main topics: Calculating client lifetime value Understanding profit margin percentages Measuring cost per visit Smarter marketing investment decisions Improving operational efficiency Main takeaway: "If you're not profitable at one visit, you won't be profitable at a thousand visits." Growth doesn't solve broken systems—it amplifies them. Before chasing more clients, more employees, or more marketing, make sure you understand what each visit actually costs your business. When you know your numbers, you stop guessing and start making decisions that build a business capable of serving clients, supporting your team, and lasting for years.

Apply to work with me 1:1 - https://impacttheory.co/SCALESign up for my AI Masterclass: https://tombilyeu.com/ai-masterclass?utm_campaign=TBS-Livestream&utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=socialWelcome back to another episode of the Tom Bilyeu Show Live, where we tackle the most pressing headlines and unravel the complex web connecting global politics, economics, and innovation. In today's fast-paced and far-reaching episode, Tom dives into the aftermath of the US's largest series of strikes on Iran since the recent ceasefire, breaking down the volatile reactions in oil and gold markets, and exploring the potential for a prolonged "forever war" in the region. He analyzes the ripple effects on inflation, US debt, and Japan's precarious position in the global bond market, ultimately painting a picture of interconnected instability.Tom doesn't stop with geopolitics; he turns the lens on US domestic issues, unpacking the evolving controversy and political fallout around Graham Platner, and how power—not morals—dictates the behavior of politicians on both sides. The discussion then shifts to the structural challenges of Social Security and the proposal of “Trump accounts,” sparking debate on wealth distribution, financial literacy, and the future of retirement for younger generations.Rounding things out, Tom addresses the ongoing Tyler Robinson trial, algorithmic bias in media consumption, Japan's economic trajectory, and why humility and vigilance are vital in chaotic times. As always, the episode is packed with hard-hitting analysis, actionable insights, and unfiltered truth—with a little help from today's sponsor, Straight Arrow News. Buckle up—there's a lot to unpack, and it's more relevant than ever.Chapters: 00:00 Iran strikes impact markets07:45 Speculation on Trump's Post-Election Actions13:51 Bypassing Strait of Hormuz18:54 Concerns about Iran's missile threat24:49 Surge in foreign investment27:19 AI Investment and Market Cycles36:32 Questioning Political Morality Standards41:22 Japan's Rate Policies and Carry Trade46:11 Global economic instability concerns53:45 Teaching financial literacy to kids58:23 Balancing the budget for future benefits01:04:32 Degrees of socialism debate01:06:24 Balancing government and free market01:15:23 Discussing perceptions of Trump's policies01:17:04 Balancing fear of political sides01:21:50 Improving personal productivity01:30:30 Preliminary hearing overview01:33:46 Unfired bullet found on rooftopSponsors:Quince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodWhatnot: Download the Whatnot app today and get free shipping on your first order.ATT Business: Switch to AT&T Business at business.att.comKetone IQ: Visit https://ketone.com/IMPACT for 30% OFF your subscription orderShopify: Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial period at https://shopify.com/impactTruemed: Check your eligibility and start saving at https://truemed.com/impactEthos: Get a free quote at https://ethos.com/impactIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

GLP-1s have taken the country by storm. Patients are losing and keeping off weight at levels previously only seen through bariatric surgery. Research trials have shown the drugs to be effective at reducing the risk of heart attack, stroke, and cardiovascular death. They protect the kidneys, reduce sleep apnea, and treat fatty liver and peripheral artery disease – all while being studied for a laundry-list of additional indications. The drugs originally designed for glucose control in diabetes are transforming lives — and raising big social questions. Our guest on this episode is Dr. Marilyn Tan, clinical professor of medicine at Stanford University and chief of the Endocrine Clinic at Stanford Health Care. Dr. Tan focuses on diabetes management in both her clinical practice and research, and she is on the front lines of using GLP1-1s in patient care.Over the course of our conversation, Dr. Tan provides a brief history of the development of GLP-1s and describes just how large a leap forward these medications are in weight management. We discuss the patient experience of being on GLP-1s for weight loss – and the stunningly wide array of other uses for the drug beyond weight loss and diabetes. Finally, we discuss the curious effect these medications seem to have on cravings beyond food, and reflect on the use of GLP-1s in the context of an addiction-saturated society. In this episode, you'll hear about: 2:37 - Dr. Tan's path to endocrinology and her work in the field 7:45 - The challenges and rewards inherent in treating a disease like obesity or diabetes that is strongly affected by factors beyond the control of the patient but still requires behavioral interventions15:45 - The landscape of obesity treatment prior to GLP-1s 22:45 - How GLP-1s function and how they differ from the drugs that came before them 28:10 - Common patient experiences and treatment courses with GLP-1s 35:30 - The growing evidence that GLP-1s can be effective in treating addiction, and the complexity of medicating individuals to address issues with systemic roots49:00 - Improving your overall health while living a busy life If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe, rate, and review our show, available for free on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you get your podcasts.

Jordana and Dr. Naomi kick things off by reflecting on birthdays, aging, and the surprising grief that can come with realizing adulthood may not look as financially comfortable as you once imagined. They explore how accepting lifestyle expectations can shape everything from dating to happiness, and why comparison is often the thief of contentment. This week's Betchesist seeks advice on navigating the fine line between improving her health and becoming consumed by health anxiety after an autoimmune diagnosis. An Overshare about a dog sitter who took "make yourself at home" a little too literally sparks an unexpected debate about boundaries and communication, while this week's intention reminds us: some blessings I have, and some blessings I don't. Lastly, we're triggered by an expectant mom feeling overlooked by her in-laws and a dental hygienist who offers some wildly unsolicited medical advice. Learn more about your ad choices.

It seems that no matter where one looks in the gaming industry, there's bad news on the horizon. Such is certainly the case with Sony, as the Japanese company announced two pieces of bad news concurrent to one another: That beginning in 2028, PlayStation hardware will no longer receive disc-based releases, and that by next summer, you will no longer be able to buy digital PS3 and Vita games. All things considered, the latter is a more understandable decision (after all, Sony tried to do this back in 2021 before pulling back), but the former situation has set the PlayStation fanbase alight in a way we've not seen since perhaps 2011, if not 2006, both extremely ominous years in the brand's history. We discuss both topics in great detail, incorporate a ton of your inquiries, and try to make sense of what's happening from every conceivable angle. There's other news this week, too, including Sony's stance on hardware subsidies, PlayStation's continuing commitment to the games-as-a-service sector, new roster additions for Marvel Tokon: Fighting Souls, and more. Then: Listener inquiries! Is Exodus' scrapping of its in-game character creator a sign of things to come? Why are some publishers and developers so secretive with sales figures? What potential ideas could emulate the interplay between EVE Online and Dust-514? Did Dustin answer the Dustin-signal that Colin sent into the atmospheric ether?
