Podcasts about incentives

What if your biggest goals were already guaranteed, and your only job was to remember them? Most people fail to reach their goals not because they lack discipline, but because their mind sees those goals as unlikely. In this episode of Brokers of Secrets, we explore a simple but powerful reframe: stop setting goals, and start creating "future memories"—outcomes your mind sees as certain. This shift completely changes how your brain allocates focus, energy, and motivation.William Lam unpacks how reward systems, not pressure, drive lasting change. By using principles from behavioral psychology, you'll learn how to create internal momentum without burnout or resistance. It's a fresh approach to success that feels natural and sustainable.Chapters:(0:00) – Introduction(1:15) – Why Most People Fail to Achieve Their Goals(4:17) – How Your Brain Files Goals (and Why That's a Problem)(6:15) – Replace Goals with “Future Memories”(8:42) – The Secret Ingredient Your Motivation System Is Missing(11:42) – The Hidden Link Between Burnout and Goal Obsession(14:23) – Incentives vs. Motivation: What Actually Drives Action(17:29) – How to Rewire Your Brain with This Simple Reward Habit(22:01) – How to Reprogram Your Mind to Manifest Desired OutcomesLearn more at ⁠⁠⁠⁠www.UPGRD.com⁠⁠⁠

BloombergNEF’s Derrick Flakoll discusses the outlook for U.S. clean energy development under the House version of Trump’s “Big Beautiful Bill.” --- On May 22, the House of Representatives passed its version of what President Trump has dubbed the “Big Beautiful Bill,” a sweeping budget package addressing taxation, federal spending, and the debt ceiling. Now headed to the Senate, a revised version is expected to emerge by early July. The House bill proposes deep funding cuts to programs like Medicaid and extends the Trump-era tax cuts from 2017. For the clean energy sector, however, the most consequential provisions are those targeting the Inflation Reduction Act. As written, the legislation would significantly curtail tax credits for renewable energy projects and the domestic manufacturing base that supports them. Incentives for electric vehicles and EV charging infrastructure, as well as battery storage, hydrogen, and nuclear power would also be sharply reduced or eliminated altogether. Derrick Flakoll, U.S. Policy Expert at BloombergNEF, examines what this could mean for the future of clean energy in the United States. BloombergNEF recently released an analysis projecting the impacts of the House bill on clean energy growth and investment. Flakoll outlines the report’s findings, including the resilience of clean energy markets without IRA tax credits, which sectors face the greatest risks, and how the proposed “Foreign Entity of Concern” provisions could further complicate project development. He also considers how the Senate might alter the legislation and whether any of the IRA’s clean energy incentives are likely to remain intact.

In this episode of The Distribution, Brandon Sedloff sits down with Chris Brimsek, Managing Partner of Cab Advisory, for a deep dive into how investment managers can build enduring businesses in an increasingly complex private markets environment. Drawing on experience from advising GPs across asset classes and stages, Chris outlines the major strategic and operational challenges facing fund managers—from firm structure and team composition to incentive design and succession planning. The conversation explores why many firms stall out at the mid-market level and what it truly takes to scale. Chris shares a four-part framework he uses with clients to create “operational alpha,” emphasizing the importance of vision, actively managed teams, properly structured incentives, and founder delegation. Whether discussing fundless sponsors, the future of sports investing, or the commercialization of GP stakes, Chris offers a pragmatic and unvarnished view of where the industry is headed. They discuss: How the “mutual fund phase” of private markets is driving the need for new content and strategies The rise of fundless sponsors and how they're shaping deal flow, team structures, and fundraising models Why founders must choose between staying boutique or scaling—and how that choice affects team dynamics and enterprise value The case for sports franchises as analogs to deal teams and what private equity can learn from talent management in professional leagues Why delegation, succession planning, and intentional incentive design are key to sustainable firm growth This is a must-listen for investment managers navigating scale, succession, or strategic reinvention in today's private markets.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1066: Today we're looking at the May economic data from Cox Automotive, how Lucid is reducing its dependence on foreign battery materials and how Meta has increased its ad revenue without increasing volume through targeting.Show Notes with links:May's economic and automotive data show a market adjusting to tighter consumer budgets and lingering workforce shifts. Retail remains steady, but pricing sensitivity is driving realignment in both new and used inventory strategies.Employers added 139K jobs in May, topping forecasts, but downward revisions led to a net 95K job loss.Auto dealer employment rose by 2,100 jobs, though it's still 1.1% below pre-COVID levels.New-vehicle SAAR dropped to 15.6M in May, down from 17.8M in April. Retail SAAR outpaced last year's.Incentives averaged $3,297—the highest discounting level in five years, and the average price paid dropped to 95.7% of MSRP.Used-vehicle sales dipped 3% month-over-month, but are up 4% year-over-yearWith all the buzz around China's dominance of EV battery raw materials, Lucid surprised us with a plan to source all of its materials domestically.Lucid's agreement with Graphite One kicks off natural graphite production in 2028 from Alaska's Graphite Creek site.They've layered this with a 2024 synthetic graphite deal and a 2026 supply agreement with Syrah Resources in Louisiana.All three deals align with IRA requirements, boosting eligibility for EV tax credits and reducing reliance on China, which supplies 90%+ of the world's anode materials.Graphite One's Ohio facility will produce enough anode material for up to 2 million EVs per year.Lucid's Interim CEO said the U.S.-focused strategy “supports our efforts to reduce the carbon footprint of our vehicles.”Meta might be all-in on Gen Z vibes, but it's the boomers and Gen Xers footing the bill. A new Barclays report reveals that older Facebook users see far more ads—because they're the ones clicking.Facebook shows more ads to users aged 45+ due to higher purchasing power.Those aged 45-54 see the highest ad load at 22%; teens only see 4.3%.Dynamic ad tech like Andromeda and Lattice tailors volume by user value.97% of Meta's revenue comes from ads.Meta has actually increased ad revenue without upping total ad volume by targeting high-value users—a shift analysts call “arguably the most bullish development.”Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

My guest is Dr. Jay Bhattacharya, MD, PhD, Director of the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and Professor Emeritus of Health Policy at Stanford University. We discuss which scientific questions ought to be the priority for NIH, how to incentivize bold, innovative science especially from younger labs, how to solve the replication crisis and restore trust and transparency in science and public health, including acknowledging prior failures by the NIH. We discuss the COVID-19 pandemic and the data and sociological factors that motivated lockdowns, masking and vaccine mandates. Dr. Bhattacharya shares his views on how to resolve the vaccine–autism debate and how best to find the causes and cures for autism and chronic diseases. The topics we cover impact everyone: male, female, young and old and, given that NIH is the premier research and public health organization in the world, extend to Americans and non-Americans alike.

In this episode of Quality Talks With Peggy O'Kane, NCQA President Peggy O'Kane sits down with Dr. Rita Redberg, a cardiology pioneer and fierce advocate for evidence-based care. Dr. Redberg, who famously served as Editor-in-Chief of JAMA Internal Medicine for 14 years, shares her "Less is More" philosophy — a perspective that challenges the view that "more" care is always better.Join Peggy and Rita as they explore:The Problem with "More": Why a health care culture focused on technology and volume over patient needs leads to runaway costs and poor results.The Stent Story: How a widely adopted procedure in cardiology gained traction without initial evidence of patient benefit, and the uphill battle to integrate rigorous clinical trials.Mary Caldwell's Odyssey: A cautionary tale illustrating the dangerous cascade of unnecessary testing and interventions, based on a desire for reassurance rather than clinical need.Re-evaluating Statins: Rita's unconventional view on the use of statins in asymptomatic people. She advocates lifestyle changes over medication when the evidence of benefit is thin.Rebuilding Trust: How the fee-for-service payment model erodes the patient-doctor relationship and how regulatory reforms can shift incentives towards patient wellbeing.Rita reminds us that health care quality isn't about more tests or interventions. It's about thoughtful, patient-centered decisions and a commitment to "first, do no harm." This episode is a must-listen for anyone curious about improving health outcomes and reducing waste in health care.Key Quote:Most statins are prescribed for people that have not already had a heart attack or have established coronary disease. In that higher risk group, there is some benefit to taking statins. It's not huge but there is some benefit.But most people I see, and most people taking statins, are not in that category. They're healthy people that want to prevent a heart attack and want to live longer. They definitely are not going to feel better. Rita Redberg, MDTime Stamps:(02:09) Misconceptions in Medicine(10:01) Mary Caldwell: A Cautionary Tale(13:35) Choosing Wisely Campaign: A Step Towards Better Care(16:32) Debating the Use of Statins(21:31) Trust, Incentives and the High Cost of US Care(27:05) Technology, Teams and Trust Links:JAMA Internal Medicine “Less is More”Choosing WiselyConnect with Rita

Victor Davis Hanson analyzes why the Trump budget may be triggering a quiet economic reboot on this episode of “Victor Davis Hanson: In His Own Words.” “ The economy is doing very, very well. And a lot of it is the expectation of the things that are in process. The $10 trillion of foreign investment. This extensions of the tax cuts. Incentives for investment, in the new budget. “  Especially with the economy, it's being rebooted. It's being redirected in ways that economists are not even able to figure out. Because, we haven't done this before.

On this episode of The Insurance Dudes, Jason and Craig sit down with David Kelly, the author who literally wrote the book on incentive compensation management and the founder of insuretech startup BobTrack. David shares his unconventional journey into the insurance industry—starting as a complete outsider who's never sold a policy but knows how to turn tangled insurance data into actionable insights. We delve into the legacy technology challenges facing carriers and agencies, from mainframes that are older than most agents to the complexities of integrating new software.David reveals how his solutions help agencies not only forecast and reconcile commissions, but also gain a clearer picture of their book of business by integrating with existing agency management systems. The conversation also peels back the curtain on why incentive comp is such a headache for insurers, and how better data tracking can uncover missing commissions and streamline agency finances.Join the elite ranks of P&C agents.

In this edition of the Yet Another Value Podcast Book Club, host Andrew Walker reunites with Byrne Hobart of The Diff to revisit The Snowball, Alice Schroeder's biography of Warren Buffett. Triggered by Buffett's recent retirement, the two reflect on how their views have evolved since first reading the book in their 20s. They unpack Buffett's complex personal life, his early financial maneuvers, near-catastrophic risks, and lasting investment philosophies. Key discussions include Buffett's detached family dynamics, calculated leverage, deep value tactics, and overlooked geopolitical caution. With a balance of admiration and critique, Andrew and Byrne present a thoughtful, analytical take on the man often mythologized as America's greatest investor.______________________________________________________________________[00:00:00] Podcast intro and book overview[00:02:05] First impressions of Snowball reread[00:04:28] Buffett's emotional and family struggles[00:05:57] His early business brilliance questioned[00:08:41] Risks nearly tanked early ventures[00:10:17] Byrne reflects on insurance troubles[00:13:44] Buffett's dual investing motivations[00:15:27] Shady dynamics of Buffett's PA[00:17:45] Hustling to raise initial capital[00:21:12] Best wins: control and distress[00:23:36] Early Buffett vs modern strategies[00:26:54] Why he avoided foreign stocks[00:28:17] Could modern Buffett act similarly?[00:30:52] Gray areas in early arbitrage[00:33:57] Incentives, risk, and bad bets[00:35:22] Buffett's paradoxical driving style[00:36:51] Solomon drama and reputational play[00:40:33] Was Solomon really near failure?[00:43:36] Role of Buffett's presence in bailout[00:45:10] LTCM: Buffett's ultimate near-miss[00:49:40] Snowball ends during 2008 crisis[00:50:52] Experience shapes Buffett's crisis style[00:53:31] Is he great at market timing?[00:56:14] Tough negotiator in private deals[01:01:34] Reconciling bearish macro with buysLinksYet Another Value Blog: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

Send me a messageIn this episode of the Sustainable Supply Chain podcast, I'm joined by Gary Loh, CEO of DiMuto, who brings a refreshing perspective on fixing the fractured agri-food trade. Gary's insights shine a light on the 30% of food wasted globally and how digital tools like AI, IoT, and blockchain can help us reduce that figure.We discuss why traditional silos, where growers, packers, shippers, and retailers rarely share data, need to be broken down. Gary explains how DiMuto's approach aligns economic incentives for everyone in the supply chain, driving transparency and reducing food waste. He also delves into how real-time data is empowering smallholder farmers, opening up access to trade financing and reducing costly claims.We also touch on the impact of US tariffs, shifting climate conditions, and FSMA 204 compliance, and why digital transformation is no longer optional. Gary's journey from finance to agriculture shows that real change comes when you address the incentives and give farmers and buyers the tools to see the full picture.If you're serious about building a transparent, resilient supply chain, or just curious how aligning incentives, AI and data can cut waste in our global food system, this episode is worth a listen.Elevate your brand with the ‘Sustainable Supply Chain' podcast, the voice of supply chain sustainability.Last year, this podcast's episodes were downloaded over 113,000 times by senior supply chain executives around the world.Become a sponsor.

In this episode recorded live at LSI Dana Point, Etienne Nichols sits down with Ed Muzio, author of Iterate, to explore how iterative management helps MedTech companies move faster as they scale. Muzio breaks down the pitfalls of traditional management—including siloed execution and backward-looking metrics—and offers a proven alternative grounded in over 70 years of research. With real-world analogies, like orchestras and dashboards, Muzio explains how leaders can create alignment, drive faster decisions, and unlock collaborative problem-solving by focusing on the future instead of the past. Whether you're part of a startup or an established MedTech firm, this episode delivers actionable strategies to help your team iterate with purpose.Key Timestamps[00:01] Introduction and sponsor message from Greenlight Guru[01:13] Meet Ed Muzio and the premise of Iterate[03:15] Why most management meetings don't drive real action[06:40] The “Alice” video case study and how it exemplifies iterative management[11:50] Common objections and barriers to implementing iterative processes[17:00] Using forward-looking data instead of status updates[22:08] MedTech example: anticipating 510(k) review delays[29:15] Making decisions early to gain planning time[34:20] How to get started if you're a small or early-stage company[37:40] Cultural barriers in iterative team models[41:20] Handling matrixed environments and CEO-level priorities[47:10] Why clarity of decision-makers matters in early teams[51:45] The biggest mistake mature companies make in team meetings[55:05] Final advice: focus on behavior, not buzzwordsStandout Quotes“If you walk into a meeting and it's 26 minutes in and you haven't made a decision yet—and that's normal—you're probably not solving anything.”—Ed Muzio on the inefficiency of status-only meetings in traditional management culture.“We don't need to forecast history. We need to plan around the future.”—Ed Muzio explaining why forward-looking metrics are the only actionable data in iterative teams.These quotes challenge conventional meeting norms and emphasize a proactive mindset crucial to success in fast-moving MedTech environments.Top TakeawaysBackward-looking metrics kill momentum. Most leadership teams spend meetings reviewing past progress. Instead, focus on forecasting future outcomes and addressing variances before they become problems.Accountability must be systemic, not personal. A team can only normalize issue-raising if the entire culture shifts to expect it—making it safe and standard to surface concerns early.“Succeed or fail together” breaks silos. When departments align to shared goals, cross-functional collaboration becomes natural. Incentives that isolate progress undermine execution speed.Don't vote—decide. In small teams, designate a clear decision-maker and avoid democratic processes that lead to politicking instead of clarity.Adopt flexible systems over rigid charts. Org charts don't reflect reality. Iterative management embraces the messiness of matrixed teams and adapts meetings and collaboration structures fluidly.References

In this episode, Patrick McKenzie (patio11) revisits his widely-shared negotiation essay, which he notes may be the most impactful thing he's done in his career aside from VaccinateCA. The essay covers the psychology and tactics of salary negotiation, emphasizing that engineers have turned being bad at negotiation into a "perverse badge of virtue" and that the financial stakes are enormous—a small salary increase compounds over decades to six-figure differences. Patrick walks through practical advice including never giving a number first, understanding how employers actually think about compensation costs, and reframing negotiation as a professional business discussion rather than something morally questionable. –Full transcript available here:www.complexsystemspodcast.com/how-to-negotiate-your-salary-package/–Sponsor:  MercuryThis episode is brought to you by Mercury, the fintech trusted by 200K+ companies — from first milestones to running complex systems.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Most agency owners screw up their first sales hire. Why? Because they either hire the wrong person, or refuse to let go of control. Travis Hoechlin used to think building a sales team was a waste of time—until he realized he was the bottleneck. In this episode, you'll hear how he went from solo closer to leading a performance-driven team that fuels his agency's growth. Travis Hoechlin is the CEO of Rise Up Media, a marketing company specializing in law firm services. He shares insights into his journey from working at a large agency to starting his own and discusses the challenges of stepping out of a comfortable position and the motivations that ultimately led him and his business partner to take the leap into entrepreneurship. Travis also shared his experience building a top sales team, his logic behind hiring experienced seller instead of going for junior salespeople he could train, and how he keeps his team motivated and competitive. In this episode, we'll discuss: What most owners get wrong when building sales teams. The hidden cost of overlooking your top performers. How to hire competitive closers who don't need babysitting. Incentives that actually work (even with a remote team).

The True Cost of Overlooking Top Performers Travis began his career working for one of the largest agencies in the industry. Despite previously owning a mortgage company, he and his current business partner found themselves settling into the comfort of corporate life—big paychecks, steady accolades, and a sense of stability. But deep down, Travis always knew he wanted to build something of his own again. It wasn't until a disagreement with his former boss that he finally made the leap. Looking back, he wishes he'd made the move sooner. Still, the way it unfolded taught him an important lesson. As one of the agency's top sellers, Travis had earned a spot in their elite President's Club—or so he thought. When he was unexpectedly passed over, it became clear that his contributions weren't truly valued. That moment of frustration became the catalyst for change. Sometimes, it takes a setback to shake us out of complacency. Travis's story is a powerful reminder: comfort can be deceiving, and top performers often leave not because of the work, but because their impact isn't fully recognized. For agency owners, it's a call to action—acknowledge your best people, or risk losing them. The Journey from Seller to Sales Leader As one of the top salespeople at his former agency, Travis was a natural fit to lead sales at his own. But like many high-performing sellers, he was hesitant about building a sales team. Great salespeople don't always make great managers—and Travis wasn't sure he could find others who would match the drive and success he brought to the table. His competitive nature added another layer of resistance. The idea of hiring someone who might rival his performance didn't sit well with him at first. But over time, realized that no matter how strong he was on his own, two or three skilled salespeople giving their all would far outperform his solo efforts. That mindset shift changed everything. Once he found the right people—sales pros who believed in the agency's mission—Travis stepped back. He moved out of the day-to-day sales role, choosing instead to support the team and help them succeed. After all, they had taken a chance on a growing agency, and he felt a responsibility to help them thrive. Many agency owners struggle with this transition. It's hard to let go of what you're great at. But as Travis discovered, tying your value to a single role—especially one you refuse to let go—can turn you into your agency's biggest bottleneck. Growth requires trust, delegation, and a willingness to lead from the side, not just the front. Strategy for Building a Premium Agency Sales Force Once Travis fully committed to building a sales team, he hit the ground running—bringing on two salespeople to start, then two more just a few months later. Since then, he's made it a habit to hire two to three new sales reps each year, fueling the agency's continued growth. While many agencies try to save money by hiring junior reps, Travis believes that route often costs more in the long run. He only recruits experienced, high-performing sales talent since inexperienced hires need extensive training, close management, and time to ramp up—resources many growing agencies simply can't afford to spare. Instead, Travis looks for people who are naturally competitive, hungry to earn, and confident in their ability to close. In his view, a good salesperson can sell anything. If a new hire hasn't sold agency services before, he keeps their focus simple for the first 30 days: just book him meetings. From there, he leads the calls while they shadow, learn, and build the confidence to eventually run the sales process on their own. Additionally, rather than hiring one rep at a time, he prefers onboarding two or three at once. Sure, not all of them will work out—but with multiple hires, at least one or two typically stick, and you're not back at square one. Plus, the healthy competition that comes from a group ramping together drives performance. When top salespeople are surrounded by peers who are also gunning for results, it pushes everyone to level up. For Travis, building a sales team isn't just about offloading calls—it's about creating a high-performance culture that multiplies results and drives the agency forward. Incentives That Actually Build Culture—Even Remotely Travis understands that great salespeople are driven by more than just commission—they thrive on competition, recognition, and rewards. In corporate environments, these high performers are often motivated by bonuses, contests, and incentive trips—and Travis knew his agency needed to offer the same kind of energy to attract and retain top talent. Having been the top seller at his previous job, he experienced firsthand how powerful the right incentives can be. So, he implemented a clear and compelling incentive structure for his team: hit an annual sales target of $850,000, and you qualify for an all-expenses-paid trip to a luxury destination, such as their recent five-day retreat at the Four Seasons in Costa Rica. But it's more than just a reward—it's a shared goal that unites the team. With about a third of his salesforce working remotely from across the globe, these trips serve as a rallying point, fostering camaraderie, motivation, and culture. This blend of healthy competition and team connection is critical in sales. By setting ambitious but achievable goals—and celebrating those who reach them—Travis has built a culture where individuals are motivated to win, and the entire team moves forward together.

How do we make sense of inflation, government overreach, or why housing costs keep climbing? It all comes back to basic economic principles—ideas too often ignored by those crafting the laws that shape our lives. So this week on This Week's Economy, I'm kicking off a new Econ 101 series to reconnect the fundamentals of economics with the everyday issues Americans face. These aren't abstract theories. They're tools for protecting prosperity.In today's episode, I explain what economics really means, why strong institutions and secure property rights are the foundation of growth, and how bad incentives and broken systems have left our economy in a fragile state.

Welcome back to Impact Theory with Tom Bilyeu. In this special live episode, I'm joined by my incredible co-host (and wife), Lisa Bilyeu, for a deep-dive on the intersection of politics, world affairs, and what's really threatening democracy today. We tackle some heavy news—like Biden's shock cancer announcement and the implications of Bernie Sanders admitting Democrats can be a threat to democracy. Of course, with Lisa in the studio, we also bring an unfiltered relationship lens to these societal issues, exploring why humans double down on dogma, how our childhood shapes genius, and if wisdom can ever outrun calcified beliefs. Plus, we get personal on the abuse of power, MeToo fallout, female agency, and where the law should (or shouldn't) intervene in manipulative relationships.

Welcome to The Chopping Block – where crypto insiders Haseeb Qureshi, Tom Schmidt, Robert Leshner, and Tarun Chitra break down the biggest stories in crypto. This week, we're joined by one of the most iconic anons on Crypto Twitter: Mosi, aka @vanacharma. Known for calling out sketchy tokenomics and vaporware valuations, Mosi joins the crew for a ruthless teardown of market maker games, OTC dumps, and the “hallucination yield” driving this cycle's worst bets. From the $60M Movement Labs fiasco to OTC pump schemes and the collapse of community trust, the gang goes deep on why crypto's market structure is broken—and what it'll take to fix it. If you've ever wondered how the sausage gets made in crypto token launches, this one's for you. Show highlights

Are you pulling your hair out trying to motivate your kids? Do chores feel like a constant battle in your house? Is homework a never-ending saga of lollygagging and procrastination for you too? If so, then this episode of The Dad Edge is definitely for you. I'm revisiting one of our most popular Q&A sessions because it's packed with the kind of crowdsourced wisdom that can really help us crack the code on kid motivation. This Q&A was originally recorded a couple of years back, but the principles we shared then are still incredibly relevant today. I wanted to bring this one back because I'm getting ready to launch my fifth book, Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. It's been a journey getting this book out, and some of the core ideas I've been exploring were definitely in the air during this original Q&A. And hey, if your marriage could use a boost too, check out: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage In this deep dive into real-life parenting strategies, you and I, along with the guys from The Dad Edge Alliance, explore: Creating Connection Through Ownership and Structure: Practical ways to foster responsibility in your kids. Modeling Responsibility and Emotional Intelligence: How your own actions speak volumes at home. Gamifying Contributions and Chores: Making tasks engaging and less of a battle. The Balance Between Incentives and Expectations: Finding the right approach to motivation. Proactive Communication and Family Agreements: Eliminating power struggles before they begin. Later in the session, the conversation shifts to the bedrock of the family: Emotional Connection and Marriage: The vital role of intentional communication. Small Shifts, Big Impact: How subtle changes in posture can build psychological safety in your most important relationships. While some specific examples regarding children's ages or routines might be from the past, the core principles and actionable takeaways shared in this Q&A remain incredibly valuable for fathers navigating the daily challenges of raising motivated and responsible kids, and building a strong family foundation. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads. Sit back, tune in, and get ready to be motivated by the remarkable guests of the Dad Edge community. www.thedadedge.com/alliance www.1stphorm.com/dadedge
