Have you ever seen bundles on Amazon? It's a listing where two or more complimentary items are sold together (examples would be a needles and thread for sewing or a coffee bean grinder and a bag of coffee beans etc.) Is it safe to sell bundles on Amazon? Is it within Amazon policy to combine complimentary items and create a new listing? Can I include brands I don't own? What are the risk? Is this idea dead without a letter of permission from the brands I sell? (also called an LOA or Letter Of Authorization) In the summer of 2024 Amazon made some policy changes for creating and regulating bundles. A good handful of sellers were suspended for having created bundles improperly and their bundles were removed from the catalog. To our knowledge, all those sellers were reinstated thankfully, but it caused a bit of a stir at the time. After the dust settled entirely, we decided it was time for us to revisit the bundle topic and see how sellers are doing in this arena. A leading bundle expert and coach in our community is Leanna Crocco. She has been thriving with bundles on Amazon for over a decade at this point and she has some incredible insights into what has changed and what the landscape of opportunity now looks like as she continues to use the strategies taught in the ProvenAmazonCourse.com to expand and flourish!

Ten Ways We Can Learn from King David • Friday Service To Give: www.ToddCoconato.com/give Website: www.PastorTodd.org David is one of the most written-about figures in all of Scripture. He was a shepherd, a warrior, a fugitive, a king, a worshiper, a poet, and a man after God's own heart. He wasn't perfect—but he was postured toward the Lord. His life offers rich lessons in leadership, repentance, worship, endurance, and trust in God's timing. Today, we're going to look at ten powerful ways we can learn from David and apply these lessons in our own lives. 1. God Sees the Heart, Not the Outer Appearance Scripture: “But the Lord said to Samuel, ‘Do not look at his appearance or at his physical stature, because I have refused him. For the Lord does not see as man sees; for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.'” — 1 Samuel 16:7 (NKJV) 2. Be Willing to Step Out in Faith When No One Else Will Scripture: “Then David said to the Philistine, ‘You come to me with a sword, with a spear, and with a javelin. But I come to you in the name of the Lord of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied.'” — 1 Samuel 17:45 (NKJV) 3. Honor Authority Even When It's Difficult Scripture: “The Lord forbid that I should do this thing to my master, the Lord's anointed, to stretch out my hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the Lord.” — 1 Samuel 24:6 (NKJV) 4. Encourage Yourself in the Lord During Crisis Scripture: “But David strengthened himself in the Lord his God.” — 1 Samuel 30:6 (NKJV) 5. Be Quick to Repent Scripture: “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me.” — Psalm 51:10 (NKJV) 6. Inquire of the Lord Before Making Big Decisions Scripture: “Therefore David inquired of the Lord, saying, ‘Shall I go up against the Philistines?' And the Lord said to David, ‘Go up, for I will doubtless deliver the Philistines into your hand.'” — 2 Samuel 5:19 (NKJV) 7. Worship God with Abandon Scripture: “Then David danced before the Lord with all his might; and David was wearing a linen ephod.” — 2 Samuel 6:14 (NKJV) 8. Be Willing to Wait for God's Timing Scripture: “David was thirty years old when he began to reign, and he reigned forty years.” — 2 Samuel 5:4 (NKJV) 9. Lead with Justice and Mercy Scripture: “So David reigned over all Israel; and David administered judgment and justice to all his people.” — 2 Samuel 8:15 (NKJV) 10. Leave a Legacy of Worship and Vision Scripture: “Now set your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God. Therefore arise and build the sanctuary of the Lord God…” — 1 Chronicles 22:19 (NKJV) David was far from perfect—but he pursued God with all his heart. He teaches us about resilience in trial, repentance in failure, worship in victory, and faith in the waiting. Let us take these lessons and live like people after God's own heart. Let's be a church that worships boldly, repents quickly, seeks wisdom constantly, and lives with purpose and honor. CCLI: 21943673

Do you constantly fix tiny mistakes no one else notices? Struggle to say no, even when something doesn't feel right? Perfectionism can feel like a high standard, but underneath, it often hides deep fears of rejection, failure, and not being enough.In this episode, we're uncovering the hidden link between perfectionism, self-criticism, and workaholism. We'll explore how childhood patterns shape our obsession with control, why helping others can sometimes be a way to avoid our own pain, and how codependency keeps us trapped in toxic cycles. Plus, I'll share a personal story about when I had to choose between keeping the peace and staying true to myself.If perfectionism is making life harder than it needs to be, this episode is for you.

Your career deserves protection—act now at https://www.doctorpodcastnetwork.co/setforlife.______In the continuation of their conversation, Dr. Todd Wolynn and Dr. Bradley Block explore effective strategies for medical communication, focusing on the AIMS Method—Announce, Inquire, Mirror, and Secure. Originally designed for vaccine communication, this framework applies to any healthcare discussion requiring confidence, empathy, and patient trust.Dr. Wolynn breaks down how physicians can make strong, evidence-based recommendations while addressing patient concerns without alienation or confrontation. He shares how mirroring patient worries, expressing empathy, and reinforcing trust can transform difficult conversations, particularly when battling misinformation. They also discuss how healthcare professionals can leverage digital tools and behavioral science to counteract the increasing polarization in medicine.With practical examples and engaging insights, this episode equips physicians with tools to improve patient adherence, maintain credibility, and foster long-term relationships in an era of skepticism and digital noise.Three Actionable Takeaways:Use the AIMS Method for effective communication: Announce your recommendation, Inquire about concerns, Mirror patient fears to show understanding, and Secure the relationship, even if they're not ready to act.Combat misinformation with empathy, not data overload: Patients make decisions based on emotion—validating fears first helps open the door to fact-based discussions.Leverage digital platforms to reach patients beyond the exam room: Social media, websites, and video content help physicians scale their message and maintain patient trust.About the Show:The Physician's Guide to Doctoring covers patient interactions, burnout, career growth, personal finance, and more. If you're tired of dull medical lectures, tune in for real-world lessons we should have learned in med school!About the Guest:Dr. Todd Wolynn is a pediatrician and the Executive Director of the Trusted Messenger Program at the Public Good Projects.

Prize indemnity insurance might sound like a dry financial topic, but Robin Lang from Tokio Marine HCC reveals it's actually one of the most exciting marketing tools available to jewelers today. We discuss how retailers can offer customers full refunds on purchases if certain events occur – like six inches of snow on New Year's Day, or a Safety during the Super Bowl – while paying just a fraction of the potential cost themselves.Robin walks us through the mechanics of these promotions, explaining how her team of actuaries analyzes decades of historical data to calculate the odds of specific weather events or sports outcomes.Learn more about Prize Indemnity with Tokio Marine HCC: https://www.tmhcc.com/en-us/products/contingency/prize-indemnitySend us a text Send feedback or learn more about the podcast: punchmark.com/loupe Learn about Punchmark's website platform: punchmark.com Inquire about sponsoring In the Loupe and showcase your business on our next episode: podcast@punchmark.com

The Old Testament gives us the history of God's people, the Israelites, before the coming of their long-awaited Messiah, Jesus Christ. And throughout their history they had good times and bad times—times when they obeyed God and times when they went far astray. Eventually, they split into two nations, Israel and Judah, with ten of the tribes forming the Israel nation and two forming the nation of Judah. I want to focus your attention to one of the most wonderful chapters in the Bible, in my opinion, 2 Chronicles 20, which tells us about Jehoshaphat, king of Judah. Jehoshaphat was one of the godly kings who obeyed the Lord and led his people to follow Yahweh. But they were a small nation, not well fortified, and therefore very vulnerable to their enemies. In chapter 20 of 2 Chronicles, Jehoshaphat finds himself and his nation in a truly frightening predicament. Here are the first four verses of that chapter: After this, the Moabites and Ammonites with some of the Meunites came to make war on Jehoshaphat. Some men came and told Jehoshaphat, "A vast army is coming against you from Edom, from the other side of the Seas. It is already in En Gedi.” Alarmed, Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord, and he proclaimed a fast for all Judah. The people of Judah came together to seek help from the Lord; indeed, they came from every town in Judah to seek him. Jehoshaphat is faced with a grave dilemma. His entire army and his entire country could be wiped out by this enemy army. And he is alarmed. Who wouldn't be? But notice what Jehoshaphat does in his alarmed condition: He resolves to inquire of the Lord. He could have inquired of his political advisers. They would have undoubtedly told him to try to make a peace treaty with this vast enemy and save their necks, even if it meant giving up the land. He could have inquired of his military advisers, who would have told him to retreat and get out as fast as possible, because there was no way they could defeat this great military army coming against them. But Jehoshaphat didn't inquire of people or counselors or advisers. He inquired of the Lord. Where have you been running for answers as you face your impossible situation? Is the Lord the first one you turn to? Amazing how often we do everything else except inquire of the Lord. This should be the first thing we do when we don't know what to do: Inquire of the Lord. Notice that Jehoshaphat resolved to inquire of the Lord; he set his will to do it. I can imagine his feelings were taking him in different directions. I can believe he wanted to start running fast and take some kind of action immediately. But he knew he would only find answers by inquiring of the Lord, so whether he felt like it or not, he resolved to do that. Many times, we run with our emotions when we're up against impossibilities. And our emotions take us to hasty action, to running away, to seeking advice from the wrong people, etc. If we would first inquire of the Lord, sit down with his Word and ask for direction, spend time in prayer to listen to his voice, we would find the answers we need. I remember at one point in my life, many years ago now, when I was suddenly faced with what seemed at the time to be a potentially disastrous situation, and I truly didn't know what to do. So, what did I do? I picked up the phone to call my best friend and ask her what to do! Now, there's nothing wrong with seeking godly advice from trusted advisors, but that's not the first place we should go, is it? Well, wouldn't you know she wasn't there. This was long before we all had cell phones, and so I couldn't reach her. I just kept redialing and redialing her number, pacing the floor, and becoming angry with her for not being there when I needed her. It was one of those teaching moments in my life, when I could hear the voice of God in my head clearly saying to me, “Why would you call her before you call me?

Getting sober is a massive step, but what happens when it's not enough? Many people in recovery—from alcohol, sex, or other addictions—find themselves hitting a wall, feeling stuck, uncertain, or even lost. The truth is, sobriety alone doesn't fix everything. Unresolved trauma, identity shifts, and the brain's slow healing process can all leave you feeling frustrated.In this episode, I break down why feeling “sober but stuck” happens, the science behind it, and how to break free. If you're a leader or business owner, this is especially important—your internal struggles affect how you show up at work and in life. Let's talk about what it really takes to not just stay sober, but truly thrive.Are you a fake introvert or extrovert?

Have you ever felt like your business success defines your worth? That every low-engagement post, failed launch, or quiet inbox is proof that you're not good enough? You're not alone. Many entrepreneurs unknowingly fall into a psychological trap known as stamp collecting—accumulating emotional “proof” that they're failing.In this episode, I break down how this subconscious pattern keeps business owners stuck in a cycle of self-doubt, burnout, and self-sabotage. Drawing from Transactional Analysis, I'll show you how to recognize these hidden beliefs, break free from them, and finally start creating from a place of confidence rather than fear. If you're tired of feeling like your business is a never-ending test of your worth, this conversation is for you.Learn more about:Stamp collection - https://deniseglee.com/when-business-becomes-personal-the-self-worth-trap/Being able to give and receive love - https://deniseglee.com/emotional-generosity-how-to-give-freely-without-burning-out/Enjoyed this episode?Subscribe to never miss an updateShare with others who might benefitLeave a review to help others find usStay Connected with Me!Visit DeniseGLee.com to:

Have you ever felt like you care more about your clients' progress than they do? Like you're constantly checking in, reminding, and holding space for people who just won't take action? If so, you might be caretaking instead of leading—and it's draining your energy, business, and confidence.In this episode, I break down the signs of caretaking, why it keeps you stuck, and—most importantly—how to shift into leadership without guilt. You'll learn:✅ The subtle ways caretaking shows up in business✅ Why caretaking attracts the wrong clients and leads to burnout✅ How to set boundaries, let go of non-committed clients, and trust your process✅ The mindset shift that turns you from a caretaker into a true leaderThe truth? The right clients don't need you to convince them. When you stop caretaking, you start attracting people who take responsibility for their own transformation.
This week, we're talking about the difference between being seen and being SEEN.The uncomfortable truth? People don't notice you because you're doing most things exactly the same way as everyone else.We observe what seems to be working for others, frantically study their "method," and replicate it with the precision of someone following IKEA instructions — except we're building our entire lives and businesses this way.And, listen, this isn't necessarily a bad strategy. But if you want people to see you, to acknowledge you, to recognize you… you've gotta stand out. And if you're just going with the flow, doing what everyone else does without asking why — welp, yah just blend into the crowd. Standing Out Without Being That PersonThe alternative isn't wearing neon jumpsuits or speaking exclusively in haikus.The secret is embarrassingly simple: be more conscious.Instead of blindly following others, pause and ask:* Why am I doing this thing this way?* What's my actual perspective?* Is this working for ME?It's about switching from automatic to intentional thinking in a world where most people are running on autopilot.Project Planning: The Unsexy Secret WeaponThe most practical takeaway sounds about as exciting as organizing your sock drawer: project planning.Project planning forces you to ask:* Why am I doing this?* What do I actually want to happen?* What's my strategy?* What's the actual first step?These questions might seem basic, but most of us skip them entirely, jumping straight to execution mode following the same tired blueprint everyone else uses.The Serious Truth BombRemember: "No one takes you more seriously than you take yourself."If you're approaching your work with "aw shucks, who am I to do this thing?" energy, you're telling everyone else not to take you seriously either.Taking yourself seriously doesn't mean acting like Adrien Brody accepting the Oscar. It means recognizing your power and not wasting it. The bottom line: To be seen, you need to do things differently.

*record scratch freeze frame* You're probably wondering how we ended up here, doom-scrolling at 3am and feeling like our businesses live and die by the whims of an algorithm created by tech bros who definitely think their morning cold plunge routine earns them moral superiority. “Can you even have a business without social media?” Well, yeah. Of course. You just might have to get scrappy with it. On today's episode, KP Pilley and Michelle Pellizzon Lipsitz unpack the common urge to boycott social media platforms—especially when they feel overwhelming, exhausting, or just not fun anymore. But before you ghost Instagram, they explain why completely abandoning these spaces might not be the best move. Instead, they offer ways to use social media intentionally, without letting it consume all your energy.Marketing IRL: Connecting with Your Audience Outside the InternetRemember life before we all became digital avatars of ourselves? Turns out, gasp, marketing existed! And it worked! Some might even say it worked better, back when we weren't all competing with an endless stream of AI-generated content about manifesting abundance through the power of positive thinking.KP breaks down some delightfully analog ways to reach your people:
