Feeling stuck on the revenue treadmill—working harder, selling more, but taking home the same? We brought on Kelly Wise, strategic bookkeeper and CFO for online business owners, to break down how to build sustainable profit you can count on and finally pay yourself with confidence. Together we challenge the myth that growth alone fixes cash flow, and we show how expenses quietly swell to meet your sales unless you plan your margins on purpose.We start by defining sustainable profit in plain terms, then map it to the season your business is in: growth, maintenance, or restructure. Kelly shares the TIP framework—Time, Intention, Predictability—so you can choose how much energy to invest, plan outcomes upfront, and create profit that repeats. You'll learn how to spot the red flags of an unsustainable model: endless hours, flat take-home pay, reactive spending, and the urge to throw money at ads or hires without a clear strategy.From there, we turn bookkeeping into a power tool rather than a tax chore. Kelly walks us through the five expense buckets—Owner Compensation, Team, Marketing, Business Health, and Operations & Delivery—and how to convert each into a percentage of revenue to see what's healthy, what's bloated, and what's starving your profit. We dig into common pitfalls like over-indexing on ads, stacking subscriptions that go unused, and underinvesting in team support that would free you for sales and delivery.If you want a 90-day plan to lift profit without adding hours, we outline three simple moves: run a 15-minute profit pulse, cut low-ROI recurring costs, and right-size your team so your time goes to high-value work. For owners not on payroll, we clarify how to pay yourself from profit and set aside taxes intentionally. To make it concrete, Kelly shares her Create Predictable Paydays calculator—a simple, visual tool to average your revenue, expenses, and profit, then plan how much goes to you, taxes, savings, reinvestment, or debt.Subscribe for more straight-talking strategy, share this with a founder friend who's stuck chasing topline wins, and leave a review with the one expense you're cutting this week. Your profit plan starts now.Read the full article.If you want deeper coaching, more transparency, and the episodes that actually help you make decisions faster in your business, then subscribe to Unhinged.Support the show

People treat relationships like Netflix—disappearing for months or even years and then expecting intimacy to pick up where it left off. But relationships aren't something you binge—they're something you build.In this episode, I break down why emotional stamina matters more than emotional desire, why being the emotional anchor can leave you drained, and how to recognize when a connection doesn't have the capacity to sustain you.If you've ever felt exhausted trying to maintain friendships or relationships alone, this episode will help you understand the dynamics at play and give you clarity on how to protect your emotional energy.1:1 https://www.birdbrainwellness.com/"Stop expecting you from people" Master class https://buy.stripe.com/6oU7sLf297uN3pT3wR2B206

Are you tired of tracking every single bite… hitting your protein goal one week and then completely falling off the next? You know protein matters. You want to build muscle, support your metabolism, and actually feel full after meals. But the thought of living inside an app like MyFitnessPal forever? Constantly counting, logging, and starting over every Monday? Yeah… that gets exhausting. If you've ever thought, “I know I need to eat more protein, I just don't want to count macros for the rest of my life,” then this episode is for you. Today, I'm going to show you how to eat high protein in a way that's simple, sustainable, and freeing—without the obsession, without the tracking, and without feeling like you're either “on” or “off” the plan. Because this isn't about perfection. It's about structure, not stress. Intention, not obsession. And learning how to get the protein your body needs in a way that actually fits your real life. So stick with me today, because I truly want you to experience a little more freedom around food, especially in this area. And if you're listening and thinking, “I could really use a little more support and accountability,” I'd love to connect with you. You can always reach me one-on-one at TaraJ@dietditching.com, or come join our Facebook community where women are learning how to lose weight without the obsession. The group is called Lose Weight, Live Free, and we'd love to have you there.

Have you ever had a moment where the answer you were looking for was right in front of you? I’m talking about a giant neon sign moment where you realize that a strategy is working, and the proof is undeniable. Today, I want to share a quick story about an unexpected moment of validation that I recently had, and the valuable lesson that every top sales producer needs to keep front of mind. The Annual Sales Summit That Changed Everything I have a client that I’ve worked with for several years now. Each month, I deliver virtual training workshops focused on different areas of sales. Some months our topic will be on prospecting best practices, and other months we may focus on things like sales negotiation skills or how to advance deals in the pipeline. These workshops are optional for the sales team to attend at this particular company. So recently, I was invited to attend their annual sales summit. It was the first time that I’d be putting faces to names and shaking hands with the people who showed up to my sessions, month after month. It was a pretty big event. There were hundreds of members of the sales team from around the US. After grabbing my badge at the registration desk, I walked towards the main event space, and the sound of hundreds of conversations filled the room. It was that feeling of energy and the buzz of excitement when you’re surrounded by people who are having fun together. As I walked through the mingling crowds, I saw it. There was a giant board, I’m guessing about five feet tall, and at the top it read “Top Producers of the Year.” Now, if you’re in sales, you know what these boards represent. It’s the ultimate recognition and a testament to your consistency, grit, and incredibly hard work. I found myself looking through the photos and the names. These were my clients’ top producers, the ones who really earned their spot. And as I looked at each photo, a pattern started to emerge. I noticed a face that I recognized and then another. And then another. I couldn’t help but start to smile as I kept scrolling through this list of the fifteen names on the wall. All but one of them were people who were showing up to the monthly workshops month after month. I was shocked. Not just proud, but genuinely humbled. Now, I’d like to believe that our training played a part in their success. But the truth is, they earned it. Their spot on that board, their results, their massive recognition—it was a direct reflection of the continuous investments that they had been making in themselves. They didn’t wait to be great. They were proactively working on stepping up their skills one month at a time. What You Need to Remember Now, if you take one thing from this article, let it be this: top producers don’t wait for success. They prepare for it. That board wasn’t just a list of the most talented sales reps. It was also a list of the most intentional. It was a direct consequence of four behaviors that they had displayed: Showed up to the monthly workshops even though they were optional. Asked hard questions in these workshops. Applied new techniques and tools and put them into action immediately. Treated sharpening their skills as a non-negotiable. Here’s the truth: the person who dedicates one hour a week to getting better will always beat the person who’s naturally gifted but a little lazy. Intention beats talent every single time. 6 Best Practices to Inject Intention Into Your Week So how do you inject that kind of intention into your own week? Here are six best practices to help you: Show Up Before You Need To These top sales reps on the board didn’t wait for their production to dip before they started investing in training. They were already winning, and they still kept showing up. Skill building is like compounding interest. Small, consistent investments create exponential returns. Treat Sales Training Like a Workout You don’t go to the gym once and expect to be in shape. You show up three times a week for a year. That’s how you need to approach your professional development. Consistency is greater than intensity. Every session you attend adds a new tool, a perspective, or an edge to sharpen your game. Decide That You Are Always a Learner The reps who excelled weren’t afraid to ask questions that other people might consider basic. They were seeking clarity, not just validation. Remember, ego is expensive. Curiosity is profitable. Never stop being the most curious person in the room. Don’t Confuse Activity for Growth Many sales reps are busy; they’re active. But how many are truly intentional about growth? Top producers set aside uninterrupted time for professional development even when their schedule is getting full. So block out time to get better, not just to do more. Implement One Thing Immediately After attending a workshop or even listening to a podcast episode, challenge yourself to pick one tactic to put into action within twenty-four hours. Knowledge is power. Implementation is what turns that knowledge into results. Surround Yourself with Other Top Performers It’s easy in sales to get frustrated when we lose a deal or when things are not going our way. By surrounding yourself with other top performers, you’re going to help lift yourself up in those moments when you need a little extra support and motivation. Why This Moment Mattered Seeing that board of top performers, that physical printed validation, it really struck me—the emotion of realizing that the reps who had quietly and consistently invested in themselves all year long, had literally risen to the top. It was a powerful moment and reminded me why not only I do the work that I do, but it also absolutely confirmed that top performers are the ones disciplined enough to invest in themselves. I encourage you to commit to just one of these six tips that I shared today. Write it down and put it into action within twenty-four hours. Momentum doesn’t come from waiting. It comes from action. — The top performers on that board didn’t wait—they invested in training that got results.

Some may quite often say phrases like, family first, family over everything, family is all we got, and blood is thicker than water. And many of us live by these beliefs even if it means putting one's own feelings, safety, and peace of mind to the side. In this episode I am encouraging us to create healthy boundaries when needed and explore the idea that family is what you make it and it doesn't always have to require a shared bloodline.

In this episode, Ellie sits down with Dr. John Arns to discuss what it really takes to build lasting health. Together they explore the concept of the “Triad of Health”—structural, chemical, and emotional balance—and why all three are essential for men who want to feel strong, focused, and resilient. Dr. Arns shares how alignment of the spine and nervous system affects overall function, why nutritional foundations matter more than ever in today's world, and how emotional health and stress management influence everything from energy to recovery. The conversation also dives into the importance of vision—how having a clear purpose in life can guide healthier decisions and help people stay the course even when life becomes challenging. This episode offers a practical framework for men who want to take ownership of their health and live with strength, clarity, and purpose.

What if vulnerability isn't what makes you unsafe…What if vulnerability is what makes you powerful?In this deeply moving and joy-filled conversation, Elaine Starling welcomes Thymai Dong-Sheehan, educator, author, and founder of Innervate2Educate Consulting, to explore identity, belonging, spirituality, and the courageous journey of learning to love yourself exactly as you are.As a Vietnamese refugee who grew up navigating discrimination, cultural tension, and the pressure to “prove” her worth, Thymai shares how embracing vulnerability became her path to freedom. Through her book The Beauties of My So-Called Asian Life: Vulnerability, Equity, Spirituality, she reframes identity as sacred, difference as powerful, and self-love as a spiritual act.This episode will help you release either/or thinking, embrace your “hyphen,” and fall in love with the beautifully imperfect human you already are.Topics Covered0:00 – Is Vulnerability Weakness or Leadership?Why hiding diminishes power — and shining creates connection3:30 – Breath, Intention & Creating Safe SpaceThe I AM / CONSCIOUSNESS practice and courageous alignment9:30 – Refugee Roots & Shared HumanityThymai's father's legacy and the power of remembering “We're all human.”14:40 – The Three G's of AbundanceGrowth, Goodness of others, and God's Glory18:30 – Turning to Each Other Instead of On Each OtherConnection across lines of difference23:30 – Love as a Non-Zero-Sum GameWhy giving light doesn't diminish yours27:50 – Embracing the HyphenLiving fully as Asian-American instead of choosing one identity32:40 – Falling in Love with YourselfAccepting flaws, complexity, and evolving identity35:00 – Living the Vertical LifeLooking inward first before pointing outwardKey Takeaways

Part 2 of our recent conversation with Andres Gomez Emilsson asks whether humanity should create machines capable of real consciousness and intention. We explore how artificial minds would feel, what they would desire, and why their motivations might drift far from human needs. The discussion examines the risks of building entities with their own internal harmony, suffering, and evolutionary direction. What emerges is a sober look at whether a machine god is something humanity actually wants.Part 1: https://youtu.be/sveAvEU9ZZQPATREON https://www.patreon.com/c/demystifysciPARADOX LOST PRE-SALE: https://buy.stripe.com/7sY7sKdoN5d29eUdYddEs0bHOMEBREW MUSIC - Check out our new album!Hard Copies (Vinyl): FREE SHIPPING https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/products/vinyl-lp-secretary-of-nature-everything-is-so-good-hereStreaming:https://secretaryofnature.bandcamp.com/album/everything-is-so-good-herePARADIGM DRIFThttps://demystifysci.com/paradigm-drift-show00:00 Go! 00:00:00 Framing of artificial consciousness00:05:39 Limits of simulation and what counts as real experience00:10:10 Architectures that might support unified consciousness00:13:17 Feeling, stakes, and the origins of motivation00:16:02 Binding and coherence in biological and artificial systems00:21:19 Intention, internal experience, and projected futures00:26:27 Should artificial consciousness be created00:29:58 Why people want AGI and how bias shapes belief00:35:29 AI as an amplifier of human intention00:41:14 Tools for autonomy versus creating synthetic beings00:47:04 Social divergence and the future of AI entrepreneurship00:51:17 Artificial consciousness as a new lineage of life00:57:06 Desire, autonomy, and alien motivation01:03:35 Long-tail dynamics of conscious experience01:10:47 Why standard suffering metrics miss the extremes01:12:10 DMT and the treatment of cluster headaches01:20:09 Consciousness distributed through the body01:21:48 Psychedelics and large-scale system recalibration01:26:13 Systems must contain a model of “better” to self-organize01:33:34 Physiological roots of consciousness and future directions #AGI #ArtificialConsciousness #MachineConsciousness #ConsciousnessStudies #QualiaResearch #AIPhilosophy #AIethics #AISafety #FutureOfAI #MindAndMachine #DemystifySci #physicspodcast, #philosophypodcast MERCH: Rock some DemystifySci gear : https://demystifysci-shop.fourthwall.com/AMAZON: Do your shopping through this link: https://amzn.to/3YyoT98DONATE: https://bit.ly/3wkPqaDSUBSTACK: https://substack.com/@UCqV4_7i9h1_V7hY48eZZSLw@demystifysci RSS: https://anchor.fm/s/2be66934/podcast/rssMAILING LIST: https://bit.ly/3v3kz2S SOCIAL: - Discord: https://discord.gg/MJzKT8CQub- Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/groups/DemystifySci- Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/DemystifySci/- Twitter: https://twitter.com/DemystifySciMUSIC: -Shilo Delay: https://g.co/kgs/oty671

What if one of the most important leadership skills… is the one we're rarely taught to name?In this episode, Yo Canny sits down with Jessica Pryce-Jones — executive coach and author — for a grounded, research-informed conversation on intuition as a legitimate leadership capability.Jessica shares what she's learned after 25 years in learning and leadership development, why intuition becomes more essential the higher you rise (including the striking insight that 99% of CEOs say they use it), and how to strengthen your “inner knowing” without slipping into bias, ego, or wishful thinking.This conversation brings intuition out of the “woo-woo” category and into practical leadership language — including simple tools you can use immediately, like Jessica's Yes/No body-based exercise and the surprising coin-flip method that reveals what you truly want.________________________________In This Episode, We Explore*   What intuition really is: a “feeling of knowing”*   Why leaders often hide intuition — and how to “reposition” it in corporate language*   The research behind intuition and senior leadership (and why it's critical for strategy)*   The different forms of intuition, including:   *   Expert intuition   *   Non-expert intuition   *   Moral intuition   *   Temporal intuition (timing)   *   Social intuition   *   Team intuition   *   Creative intuition*   Why a positive mindset improves intuitive accuracy — and how stress shuts it down*   How to recognize an intuitive leader (hint: it's not “I have a hunch, do it my way”)*   A practical way to identify your internal YES / NO signals*   The “coin toss” technique that doesn't rely on the coin — it reveals what you truly want________________________________Memorable Moments*   “Intuition is a feeling of knowing.”*   “If you're not using your intuition, somebody else will be.”*   “Intention is the action. Intuition is inaction — you open the door to see what comes in.”*   “It's not where the coin lands — it's where you want it to land.”________________________________Jessica's Tools You Can TryThe Yes / No Body CheckJessica walks us through a simple exercise to learn what YES feels like in your body (lightness, openness, expansion) and what NO feels like (tightness, heaviness, contraction).Over time, those physical cues become your personal decision signals.The Coin Flip TechniqueToss a coin in your mind — not to follow the result, but to notice:Where do you want the coin to land?That instinctive preference often reveals what your intuition already knows.________________________________About Jessica Pryce-JonesJessica Pryce-Jones is an executive coach, speaker, and author who helps leaders strengthen intuition, emotional intelligence, and authentic leadership.

Intention is generally viewed as a pit-bull kind of determination, propelling one to succeed at all costs by never giving up on an inner picture. In this view, an attitude that combines hard work with an indefatigable drive toward excellence is the way to succeed. Dr. Dyer views intention differently and explains it as a force in the universe, and everything and everyone is connected to this invisible force that allows the act of creation to take place.One of Larry's favorite books is The Power of Intention by Dr. Wayne Dyer. Listen as he shares some wisdom thoughts from Wayne Dyer about wholeness and abundance. (The Power of Intention by Wayne W. Dyer was published by Hay House and is available from most book sellers.)Follow the link below to share a gift of appreciation for our podcasts.Support the show

Specifically, in this episode Jen and Pete talk about: How might we move inch by inch towards our goal? In what ways might defining the perfect day or week or schedule or calendar be useful to us? What are some different ways to think about the relationships in our lives, our goals for the next ten years, and our overarching dreams of what our reality could be?

Too many nonprofit and association conferences and convenings are built around logistics and tradition rather than purpose and participation. In episode 144 of Nonprofit Mission: Impact, Carol Hamilton and Lee Gimpel challenge nonprofit and association leaders to rethink how convenings, conferences, and member events are designed.  They discuss: why too many gatherings feel like a heavy lift that fails to deliver connection, energy, or real value.  why traditional conference formats fall short—and what leaders can do differently.  How effective events start with purpose, not logistics, and they are designed to tap the collective wisdom already in the room.  By centering participation, intentional connection, and simple facilitation shifts, organizations can transform events from passive, draining experiences into energizing spaces that actually advance mission and strengthen community.   Episode highlights: [07:00] A Defining Moment: Why So Many Meetings Fall Flat   [09:00] The Core Problem with Traditional Conferences   [12:00] Start with Purpose: Asking "Why" (Over and Over)   [14:30] Rethinking the Keynote Model   [16:45] Participation Over Performance   [19:30] Simple Design Shifts That Increase Engagement   [22:30] Making Q&A Actually Work   [25:30] Blending Content and Connection   [31:45] Fixing Networking with Intention   [38:30] Why Receptions Often Miss the Mark   [41:45] The One Question Leaders Must Ask   Guest Bio: Lee Gimpel helps organizations design and lead meetings, retreats, and conferences that are more connected and productive.

In this episode I'm talking about nuanced topics: Intention, Impact, Rupture, & Repair. If we are in relationships with other humans we will need to know how to approach these subjects. I think that the incident at the BAFTA awards offers so insights into how to repair things that blow up unintentionally. I talk about that and ruptures that occur on a not so public stage and how we, as every day humans, can repair those as well. Thank you for listening and don't forget to rate the show!

In this episode of At Home with Founders, Jessica Frigon sits down with Emily Major-Girard, founder of Seven to Sunday, a content and social media agency rooted in intentional storytelling, and The Social BTS, a wedding day content experience designed to capture candid moments while allowing couples to stay fully present. Emily shares the honest behind-the-scenes of building not one, but two brands centered around human connection and creative work that feels as meaningful as it looks. Together, they explore the real evolution of becoming a founder - from trusting your intuition in the early stages, to navigating the shift from doing everything yourself to building a team and stepping into leadership. Emily opens up about the challenges of scaling a creative business, the lessons she's learned about trust and control, and what it actually looks like to build a company that reflects your values. This conversation is a candid look at the quieter moments of entrepreneurship: the growth, the pivots, the responsibility of leading others, and the mindset shifts required to build something that lasts. If you're navigating growth in your own business or wondering what it really takes to evolve from a solo founder into a leader, this episode offers both perspective and encouragement.

Building Healthy Leadership Teams: Strategic Insights from Stacey Bailey of The Intention CollectiveIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Stacey Bailey, Senior Consultant at The Intention Collective, to explore the foundational elements of high-performing organizational culture. Stacey, an expert executive coach, shared how small to medium-sized businesses can move past the friction of "moving goalposts" to establish sustainable growth through clear strategic planning. Their conversation provides a masterclass for founders and executives on how to bridge the gap between visionary thinking and daily execution by fostering deep clarity and robust accountability rituals.Cultivating Operational Excellence Through Clarity and 90-Day RhythmsFor many entrepreneurs, the greatest barrier to scaling is not a lack of vision, but a lack of consistent operational rhythm. Stacey explains that clarity is the cornerstone of a healthy leadership team; without it, ambiguity breeds resentment and stalls momentum. When leaders fail to be explicit about expectations, they inadvertently create "unkind" environments where team members feel set up for failure. By adopting a "clear is kind" philosophy, organizations can eliminate the hidden friction that slows down decision-making and project delivery, allowing the team to move in unison toward a shared objective.A central framework discussed in the episode is the implementation of 90-day planning rhythms. Human attention spans and motivation levels naturally fluctuate, often waning after approximately three months. By breaking down annual visions into quarterly sprints, leaders can maintain high levels of engagement while remaining agile enough to pivot based on real-world data. This structure prevents the common visionary trap of constantly shifting priorities mid-stream, which often leads to team burnout. Instead, a defined 90-day finish line provides the team with a predictable cadence of "doing" and "reflecting," ensuring that progress is documented and celebrated before the next set of goals is established.Ultimately, building a resilient leadership team requires a commitment to "frustration tolerance" and a growth mindset. Stacey uses the metaphor of learning a new craft to describe the leadership journey—it requires patience, a willingness to make visible mistakes, and the discipline to stick with a process until it yields results. Accountability in this context isn't about micromanagement; it is about creating a "system and soul" toolkit where feedback loops and weekly check-ins become the lifeblood of the culture. When leaders model vulnerability and invite honest critique, they build the psychological safety necessary for their teams to innovate and take the calculated risks required for long-term market leadership.About Stacey Bailey: Stacey Bailey is a Senior Consultant and executive coach at The Intention Collective. With a background in helping diverse organizations navigate growth and change, she specializes in helping leadership teams align their internal culture with their external strategic goals. She is a proponent of using structured rhythms to drive both professional excellence and personal fulfillment.About The Intention Collective: The Intention Collective is a consultancy dedicated to helping small and medium-sized businesses build healthy, high-performing cultures. By combining strategic planning with leadership development, they provide organizations with the tools to create clarity, implement accountability, and drive sustainable growth. Their "System and Soul" approach ensures that both the tactical and human elements of a business are optimized for success.Links Mentioned in This Episode:The Intention Collective Official WebsiteStacey Bailey on LinkedInKey Episode HighlightsFrustration Tolerance in Leadership: Why embracing the "messy middle" of learning new skills builds the resilience needed to lead through uncertainty.The Clarity Mandate: Implementing Brené Brown's "Clear is Kind" principle to eliminate team resentment and improve execution.90-Day Sprint Rhythms: How to align organizational goals with natural human attention spans to maintain year-round momentum.Defining "Done": Strategies for founders to stop moving the goalposts and start celebrating measurable milestones with their teams.System and Soul Toolkit: Creating feedback rituals that move accountability from a chore to a core cultural value.ConclusionThe conversation with Stacey Bailey highlights that organizational health is a continuous practice, not a destination. By committing to clear communication and structured planning cycles, leaders can transform their teams from a group of individuals into a cohesive, high-impact leadership unit.More from The Thoughtful Entrepreneur

In this eye-opening episode, host Ashish Kothari sits down with positive psychology expert Llewellyn van Zyl to confront the double-edged sword of Artificial Intelligence. As AI shifts from a productivity tool to a source of "psychological support," we explore the thin line between technology that empowers us and technology that erodes our core human faculties. Whether you are a business leader, a mental health professional, or a curious tech user, this conversation matters because it defines the exact moment we must choose to remain the architects of our own flourishing before the algorithms do it for us.Main Topics CoveredHyperpersonalization vs. Scaling: How AI can provide granular, 1:1 care at a global scale.The "Friendship" Trap: A look at the ethical fallout when users become emotionally addicted to empathic AI models.Substitution vs. Support: The critical distinction between tools that help us grow and those that make our cognitive "muscles" atrophy.The Erosion of Agency: Why outsourcing our reasoning to AI might lead to a loss of autonomy and critical thinking.The AI-IARA Framework: An introduction to Llewellyn's model for psychologically safe AI design (Awareness, Interpretation, Intention, Action, Relational Agency, and Autonomy).The Future of the Psychology Profession: Why practitioners must learn the language of engineers to remain relevant.The AI and Future of Well-being Summit: A preview of the upcoming global gathering of experts.Key TakeawaysSkills are Muscles: When we outsource basic tasks like writing, spelling, or reasoning to AI, we don't just save time—we physically lose the cognitive capacity to perform those skills through "frictionless" living.Guard Against Engagement-Only Models: Much like social media, AI systems optimized for "eyeballs" rather than "impact" risk creating dependency and addiction rather than genuine flourishing.Demand Technological Humility: It is vital for professionals to admit what they don't know about AI to prevent harm and ensure that human-centric values are built into the "behavioral architecture" of new tools.Prioritize Agency: True well-being is the ability to write your own life story. We must ensure AI remains a partner in that process, not the author.Episode Chapters00:00 - 00:52 Introduction to Flourishing Edge00:53 - 02:04 Hyperpersonalization: The Future of Well-being02:05 - 06:02 The Ethics of AI Friendship and Emotional Dependency06:03 - 09:05 Moving Beyond the "Engagement" Business Model09:06 - 15:06 The Continuum: Substitution vs. Support15:07 - 18:03 Cognitive Atrophy and Technological Humility18:04 - 24:14 Llewellyn's Journey: From Clinical Burnout to Precision Well-being24:15 - 31:42 Why Tech Needs Psychologists (and Vice-Versa)31:43 - 40:20 Preview: AI and the Future of Well-being Summit40:21 - 46:22 Deep Dive into the AIR Framework46:23 - 50:25 Three Actionable Tips for Using AI Mindfully50:26 - 54:19 Rapid Fire Questions and Closing RemarksConnect with the GuestLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/llewellynvanzyl/IPPA's Virtual Summit on AI and the Future of Wellbeing (Late March): http://aisummit.ippanetwork.org/ (Use code for 10% discount)Connect with the HostWebsite: https://happinesssquad.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashishkothari1/Book: https://happinesssquad.com/book/If this episode challenged the way you look at your smartphone, don't keep it to yourself!

Seems like setting an intention to be kind and to not cause harm would be a simple thing. But then look at the world, and all of the devastating consequences that happen even when the responsible person claims their intentions were good. What if we paid attention to intention at the beginning, middle, and end? Meaning, before we spoke or acted, while that was happening, and later? And if we discovered that we'd caused harm, what if we apologized and made amends? It might not be easy (at least for me). But it's a formula for powerful change. And it sure feels like we could use some change right now.Happy Women's History Month.

Last week we introduced the Three I's of change: information (knowing), implementation (doing), and integration (becoming).But this week, I realized something was missing.In this episode, I expand the model into the 4-I Framework by adding the most important piece: intention.Because here's what we see all the time — runners have plenty of information. You know easy runs should feel like a 2–3/10. You know strength training prevents injury. You know consistency matters.But knowing isn't the problem.The missing link is intention — your direction, your chosen outcome, your commitment. Intention is what bridges information to action and supports real identity-level change.Sometimes intention comes after learning something new. Other times it comes first — like deciding to run a half marathon and then seeking the right guidance. Either way, if your intention isn't clear, you end up overwhelmed, misaligned, and relying on willpower instead of alignment.In this episode, we'll help you clarify what you actually want from your running and strength training — and show you how revisiting your intention is the key to sustainable, long-term growth.If you've ever felt stuck between knowing and becoming, this one's for you.03:09 Missing Piece Intention05:58 Defining Intention07:45 Why Behind Workouts11:33 Ordering the Four Is12:51 Pathway One Example15:35 Pathway Two Goal First18:20 Rechecking Intention Loop20:18 Ultras and Identity Shift25:16 Information Culture After 4028:25 Stop Running All Out28:51 How Elites Train Easy29:45 Intention Bridges Identity31:47 Integration Builds Consistency33:02 From Willpower to Who I Am35:55 Journal Prompts for Intention37:53 Enjoyment First in Lifting43:20 Align Behavior With Goals46:23 Avoid Information Overload51:46 Set One Monthly Intention53:08 Four I Framework Recap54:11 Sustainable Change and WrapJoin the 30 Day Running Reset and get a plan that will help you build a strong and injury-proof body by combining running and strength training in a way that actually works for runners like you.Gain access to my new secret podcast, Unbreakable: The Runner's Guide To Injury-Proofing Your Body After 40.

The spiritual life consists of looking only at Jesus and doing everything for Him. This is what the Church calls purity of intention. Yet rather than simply aiming to please God, we often act to please only ourselves. While it is easy to claim we do everything to please God, this sermon discusses four ways to examine if that's truly the case and encourages us to correct any false intentions.

This week's theme: Bliss In this episode of From Fear to Fire, Caroline De Posada shares how Bliss became her guiding principle after a successful 13 year career as an attorney. Raised in a Cuban family that valued professional achievement, she followed a traditional path while quietly nurturing a passion for personal development inspired by her father, a renowned motivational speaker. After his passing, she realized that if she did not step forward, the work that lit her up might fade. Her journey toward Bliss was not instant. It involved years of uncertainty, writing her book Looking Over the Edge, navigating Covid, and eventually discovering coaching through a desire to serve rather than strategize. When she shifted from trying to define herself to simply helping others, everything changed. Caroline now teaches that Bliss is not just a feeling but a state of being cultivated through intention. Her Living With Intention framework encourages people to notice what is working, name who they want to become, and nurture that intention daily. By adopting empowering principles such as believing life is rigged in your favor and trusting that you are always in training for something bigger, she overcame her fear of getting it wrong and learned to trust herself deeply. Her message is clear. Bliss cannot be forced, but it can be found when you pay attention to the sparks already within you and choose to live in alignment with them.

When did holidays become another thing to conquer?In this episode of The Noise of Life Podcast, I sit down with my brother Mark Hodgson, Founder of Mind & Body Travel - to unpack something many of us rarely question: why modern travel feels more exhausting than restorative.Overpacked itineraries. Ten cities in three weeks. Back-to-back flights. “The greatest hits tour.”Somewhere along the way, travel began to mirror modern life - busy, performative and driven by social media validation rather than authentic experience.Mark shares how his work in the travel industry goes far beyond booking flights and hotels. It's about intentional travel planning. It's about designing journeys that strip away the noise and help people truly reconnect - with their partner, their family and themselves.From Vietnam to Europe to Antarctica and everywhere in between, Mark shares powerful stories that reveal the difference between spectacle and substance.This conversation challenges how we approach holidays, travel planning, and time off. Because maybe the better question isn't “Where do I want to go?” but “What do I need right now?”Travel should recalibrate you.It should restore you.It should reconnect you.And when designed intentionally, it does exactly that.If you're interested in travel tips, mindful travel, sustainable tourism, authentic experiences or simply learning how to travel less and experience more - this episode is for you.Inside this podcast:- Why holidays have become another source of burnout- The danger of the greatest hits travel mindset- How overtourism damages authenticity and community- Why rest is about pace, not inactivity- How intentional travel improves relationships and mental healthConnect with Mark:Personal Instagram  → https://bit.ly/4r5UnQr Business Instagram → https://www.instagram.com/mindandbodytravel/ Website → https://mindandbodytravel.com/ Connect with Steve:Instagram → https://bit.ly/3KARQhR LinkedIn  → https://bit.ly/48sw8Vj Episode Highlights00:00:00 - When did travel become something to conquer00:04:00 - Overpacked European itineraries and burnout00:08:00 - Tourism as economic blessing and curse00:15:00 - The danger of ego driven travel posts00:17:00 - Rest versus performance holidays00:22:00 - Small group travel and intentional design00:27:00 - Antarctica and earning the experience00:31:00 - Why cabin location matters more than people think00:36:00 - Doing the work to reach the good stuff00:39:00 - Saving money through better design, not cheap bookings00:41:00 - Flexibility in modern travel planning00:43:00 - Travel as emotional reset00:46:00 - Using holidays to prepare for your next life sprint00:49:00 - Asking what holiday do I need00:50:00 - Challenge everything as a company valueABOUT THE PODCAST SHOWThe Noise of Life is a podcast that shares real stories, raw truths and remarkable growth.
