Internal medicine and functional medicine physician Shiv K. Goel discusses his article "Mind-body connection in chronic disease: Why traditional medicine falls short." Shiv explores the limitations of conventional medical models that focus solely on acute intervention while ignoring the emotional roots of chronic conditions. He shares the compelling story of Linda whose physical ailments were deeply connected to decades of suppressed grief and trauma. The conversation delves into the science of psychoneuroimmunology and how unprocessed emotions get stored in the body's tissues eventually manifesting as disease. Shiv explains why true healing involves not just medication but also meditation and somatic therapy to rewrite the body's internal narrative.

As if the work of hiring wasn't difficult enough, it's important to evaluate whether the best fit for a position is likely to come from a candidate already within the organization or to search out someone from outside the facility. Today we discuss the pros and cons that these different types of candidates bring to the table. www.patreon.com/aquatizoo l.semple@magicalvacationplanner.com www.magicalvacationplanner.com/staff/lori-semple

In today's episode, I share what I believe are two of the biggest keys to interior peace—especially for moms who feel tired, overwhelmed, or stuck in resistance to their daily lives. First, I talk about how to have a bad day well: how to recognize what's happening in your body, care for yourself with compassion, and decide what kind of day you actually need. Then I share the second key—learning to see the work and responsibilities of your life as missions given to you by the Lord, which changes everything about how they feel. In this episode, we talk about: What to do when you wake up already having a bad day "Bunny slippers days" vs. days where you still have to show up How biology, thoughts, and emotions work together Why willingness is often closer to peace than happiness How clarity about what God is asking you to do creates calm and purpose At the end of the episode, I also share an important announcement about the future of the podcast and Catholic Mom Calm, including what's coming next and how you can help me reach more moms. If you want to feel calmer, more grounded, and more aligned with what God is asking of you—this episode is for you.

Guest April Obersteller is a people-centered leader, operator, and founder of And Not Or, a community and leadership platform built around the belief that we don't have to choose. She has led customer and employee experience across iconic consumer brands, including YETI and woom, and now leads community and experience at Recess. April also hosts The AND Podcast, where she shares real conversations about leadership, growth, and humanity. Summary In this episode, Jeff talks with April Obersteller, co-founder and CEO of And, about what it really takes to build companies that succeed by investing in people as much as products. Drawing on her experience at fast-growing brands like YETI and her work with startups and scale-ups, April challenges the false choice between caring for employees and driving business results. Instead, she advocates for an "and" philosophy—holding space for profitability and people, clarity and uncertainty, action and reflection. April explains why internal customers are often overlooked, how intentional care doesn't require flashy programs, and why culture can't be faked with posters or slogans. She also discusses brave leadership, emphasizing awareness, courage, and the willingness to act amid discomfort. Throughout the conversation, April highlights how focusing on employee success ultimately creates better customer experiences, stronger teams, and more resilient organizations. The episode offers a thoughtful exploration of leadership, scalability, and how curiosity and creativity emerge when leaders resist either-or thinking and instead embrace the complexity of building something meaningful. The Essential Point Sustainable business success comes from embracing "and" thinking—supporting people and performance together—rather than treating employee care as secondary to growth or profit.

Had an AHA or Insight? Share it:If you've done everything “right” yet still feel stuck, this reframes how your words drive behavior and culture by shifting attention to the present.We often don't realize how often our questions point backward. That moment when something goes wrong and the first words are, “Why is this happening?” You sift through past details, replay conversations in your head, and feel the pull of self-judgment. The rest of the day goes to rehashing.Over time, the loop shows up as hesitation, slower calls, extra checking. Energy shifts to second-guessing. Decisions sit. Confidence drops.On the Business Growth Architect Show: Founders of the Future, I sit with Blair Dunkley as he shares his  trigger moments that cracked and remade his inner stance: his mother being refused a $200 budget to throw a tea party for her patients, his father's 14‑year coma, and later his own health challenges. We examine how language patterns direct behavior, how acceptance can loosen the grip of pain, and how turning toward present choice shifts what becomes possible. It's an inquiry into awareness and responsibilityHe identifies  the “why-hole” and what changed in his understanding of language and behavior to change thousands of lives following his mind models.. Blair has seen these patterns up close for years under pressure. He watches how words shape behavior until the structure is clear. Here are the five key takeaways from this episode:Why true “why” questions are past-based and immobilizingThe two questions that restore your own agency in minutesBehaviors lead belief: how to build confidence with evidenceThe Three E's: Effective vs Ineffective, External vs Internal, Evaluation vs JudgmentState shifts that work: acceptance, posture, and perspectiveJoin the conversation because when your pressure keeps stacking this loop burns time and attention.

In late 2025, he faced Silicon Valley backlash for supporting a proposed wealth tax on billionaires to fund healthcare amid Medicaid cuts. Khanna advocates for progressive economic patriotism, reducing inequality, and ethical tech governance while working across the aisle on national security and innovation. Married to Ritu Ahuja Khanna, with two children, he resides in Fremont. Shawn Ryan Show Sponsors: Ready to give your liver the support it deserves?

Support Without Solving: Stop Carrying It All as a Leader   Serial fixers often experience leadership burnout which quietly shows up as emotional over-responsibility, exhaustion, and feeling like everything depends on you. You care deeply about your people. You want to be supportive, responsive, and present. But somewhere along the way, that helpfulness starts to feel heavy.   Being helpful shouldn't drain you.You weren't meant to carry everything. And pretending you can could be what's breaking you.   In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake Schofield sits down with psychotherapist and corporate mental wellness expert Leah Marone to explore why so many leaders feel responsible for everything. You'll learn how to lead in a way that supports others without carrying it all yourself.   Episode Highlights   Why Leaders End Up Carrying Everything [06:34] - How empathy and competence turn into over-responsibility [09:20] - The unspoken pressure leaders feel to "hold it all together" [11:31] - Why this pattern is so common in high-performing leaders The Hidden Cost of Being the Helper [13:56] - How solving for others actually increases exhaustion [16:20] - Why teams become dependent instead of empowered [17:26] - The emotional labor leaders rarely name out loud Support Without Solving: What Changes [18:58] - The difference between being supportive and being responsible [20:22] - How validation builds trust without taking ownership [22:20] - What leaders can do instead of fixing Helping Teams Build Confidence and Ownership [27:04] - Why discomfort is part of growth for teams [28:04] - How leaders unintentionally block development [31:44] - Simple shifts that create capability instead of dependence Leading with Boundaries That Actually Work [34:38] - Internal boundaries that reduce emotional load [37:10] - How to stay caring without carrying everything [42:27] - Why presence matters more than perfect answers The Power of Micro-Resets [48:48] - Using daily transitions as opportunities to release stress [47:28] - How small shifts compound into significant change [51:28] - Building the muscle of being present without being perfect   Powerful Quotes "Support doesn't mean solving. It means creating space for someone to build their own confidence." – Leah Marone "It's the thing that helped you feel successful and loved and a sense of belonging. And then it is the thing that becomes cycles of burnout, overwhelm, over-responsibility, worrying about everyone else's feelings while dishonoring your own." – Blake Schofield "People have to have our ownership, we have to hear ourselves, it has to get pocketed away internally for us to be able then to activate." – Leah Marone "You cannot receive when your hands are full. Life is always going to give you something that's unexpected. And when you are so busy and so full that you don't have space for that, then it makes it really hard to manage your emotions, to help deal with and manage other people's emotions, to be present to the greater opportunities." – Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

What if burnout isn't caused by doing too much, but by constantly leaking your energy in ways you don't even notice? In this episode of School of Impact, Jason sits down with energy expert and entrepreneur Spencer Jones to unpack the concept of energy sovereignty, it's about learning how to protect, restore, and intentionally direct your energy so you can thrive without burning out. This conversation blends mindset, nervous-system regulation, play, and personal responsibility into a powerful framework for living and leading at your highest level.   "Have fun. There's more fulfillment for me. The impact is greater when you are having fun. When you're doing that, people resonate with it more. It doesn't feel forced, uneasy, it's just it's natural, and something happens."- Spencer Jones   Hear more about: Burnout is often about being drained, not overworked: Many people feel exhausted because their energy is leaking through misalignment, toxic beliefs, or unhealthy environments and not because they're doing too much. Internal belief systems are the biggest energy vampires: Self-judgment, the need to prove worth, and guilt around rest drain more energy than external people or circumstances. Energy sovereignty starts with repairing leaks before adding more habits: Meditation, exercise, or motivation won't stick if underlying energy leaks aren't addressed first.  Alignment determines whether energy fuels or depletes you: Even "good" opportunities can be draining if they're not aligned with your values, nervous system, and authentic self.  Small shifts create sustainable energy gains: Tools like breathwork and quick "energy audits" help raise your energy incrementally without overwhelm.  Play, fun, and authenticity are performance multipliers: When people operate in flow, doing what feels natural and joyful, impact, creativity, and fulfillment increase dramatically.   Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

War Room Trump Weighs Iran Strikes, FBI Raids WaPo Reporter & Renee Good ICE Agent Suffered Internal Bleeding After She Rammed Him, As Lunatic Left's Anti-ICE Uprising Continues

For months, and most aggressively in its final public posture, the Department of Justice told the public that Jeffrey Epstein acted alone, that there were no co-conspirators worth pursuing, and that the case was effectively closed because the evidence led nowhere else. That claim was presented as the product of exhaustive investigation, a sober conclusion reached after following every lead. But the unsealed Epstein files expose that narrative as a manufactured endpoint, not a factual one. The DOJ's public insistence that Epstein was a lone predator directly contradicts its own internal records, which show prosecutors and investigators repeatedly discussing other individuals, logistical facilitators, and potential co-conspirators. These weren't vague references or speculative names. The emails reveal active consideration of witnesses who could implicate others, debates over how far the investigation should go, and deliberate choices to narrow the scope of exposure. In public, the DOJ spoke in absolutes. In private, they spoke in contingencies. That gap is the story.The newly unsealed emails make clear that the absence of co-conspirators was not a discovery, it was a decision. Prosecutors expressed concern about expanding the case, about the consequences of naming or charging others, and about preserving agreements that would collapse under scrutiny if the full picture came out. Internal communications reference ongoing leads, cooperation strategies, and awareness that Epstein's crimes required infrastructure and assistance, yet none of that translated into indictments or even transparent explanations. Instead, the DOJ retroactively sold inaction as resolution. By the time officials told the public there was “no evidence” of co-conspirators, their own records showed they had stopped looking long before the evidence ran out. The unsealed emails don't just undermine the DOJ's claim, they obliterate it. What was framed as a lack of proof was, in reality, a lack of will, and the insistence that Epstein operated alone now reads less like a conclusion and more like a cover story built to survive public scrutiny rather than judicial review.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00037366.pdf

In this wide-ranging and intense episode, Tara connects two seemingly separate stories that reveal a deeper pattern of institutional breakdown—inside American schools and across the global stage. The show begins with firsthand reports from teachers and parents about alarming behavior in high school bathrooms, including vaping, explicit photo sharing, and the serious legal consequences many families don't realize exist. Tara explains why even top-performing schools are installing bathroom gates and posting strict signage—and why some parents are urgently seeking alternatives. From there, the episode pivots to international developments, as the U.S. State Department issues an urgent warning for Americans to leave Iran immediately, amid mass protests, civilian deaths, and growing geopolitical tension. Tara walks through competing policy approaches, past U.S. decisions, and why Iran's internal instability is once again shaping global security concerns.

In this episode, Ray Sclafani dives into the concept of transfers of trust and how advisory firms can design client confidence beyond a single advisor. As firms scale, trust often remains concentrated around the founder or lead advisor, creating fragility and limiting growth. Ray explains how high-performing teams transition to shared advisory models, where multiple advisors and specialists collectively deliver advice, creating enduring client confidence, stability, and enterprise value.You'll learn practical strategies to expand trust externally to clients, introduce advisors effectively, and build a team-centered approach that strengthens relationships and supports long-term growth.Key Takeaways Trust often concentrates around one advisor, which can make growth fragile.External transfers of trust occur when clients expand confidence from one advisor to the broader team.Internal transfers of trust involve founders delegating authority, credibility, and leadership to the next generation.Shared advisory models create client experiences that feel stable and enduring, rather than dependent on one person.Designing trust intentionally improves client retention, referrals, and long-term firm stability.Questions Financial Advisors Often AskQ: What is a transfer of trust? A: Transfers of trust describe the process of moving client confidence from a single advisor to the broader advisory team. It ensures the client experiences multiple advisors as capable, credible, and worthy of trust.Q: Why is it important to transfer trust beyond the lead advisor? A: When trust is concentrated with one person, the firm is vulnerable. Expanding trust to the team creates stability, scale, and endurance, ensuring clients continue to feel supported even if the lead advisor is unavailable.Q: How do high-performing advisory teams expand trust? A: They operate as interdependent ensembles, with distinct roles such as lead advisor, planning specialist, investment partner, and relationship manager. Each advisor contributes advice and expertise, allowing clients to experience the team's credibility collectively.Q: How can advisors identify which clients need more exposure to the team? A: Advisors can categorize clients into advocates, engaged clients, and at-risk clients. Advocates can help reinforce the team's credibility, engaged clients adapt naturally to new advisors, and at-risk clients may need more time and attention for trust to expand.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

That gap is the story.The newly unsealed emails make clear that the absence of co-conspirators was not a discovery, it was a decision. Prosecutors expressed concern about expanding the case, about the consequences of naming or charging others, and about preserving agreements that would collapse under scrutiny if the full picture came out. Internal communications reference ongoing leads, cooperation strategies, and awareness that Epstein's crimes required infrastructure and assistance, yet none of that translated into indictments or even transparent explanations. Instead, the DOJ retroactively sold inaction as resolution. By the time officials told the public there was “no evidence” of co-conspirators, their own records showed they had stopped looking long before the evidence ran out. The unsealed emails don't just undermine the DOJ's claim, they obliterate it. What was framed as a lack of proof was, in reality, a lack of will, and the insistence that Epstein operated alone now reads less like a conclusion and more like a cover story built to survive public scrutiny rather than judicial review.to  contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:EFTA00037366.pdfBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

In this episode of Retire with Style, Wade Pfau and Alex Murguia break down key concepts in retirement income planning, including present value, discount rates, and internal rates of return. They explain how these tools apply to real-world decisions such as Social Security claiming and choosing between a pension and a lump sum. The conversation highlights the importance of understanding cash flows and using sound mathematical analysis to inform decisions, while still accounting for personal preferences and risk. Listen now to learn more!   Takeaways Present value and breakeven analysis are crucial for financial planning. Understanding discount rates helps evaluate future cash flows. Internal rate of return is essential for comparing investment options. Financial decisions often boil down to present value calculations. Social security optimization relies on present value analysis. Pension versus lump sum decisions require careful discount rate consideration. Cash flow evaluation is key in retirement planning. Investment decisions should factor in opportunity costs. The relationship between interest rates and present value is significant. Financial planning is both a mathematical and an artful process.

The quality of your life is shaped by the quality of the stories you tell yourself about yourself.In this episode, I explore self-identity — or what I like to call your internal software — and how it quietly determines what feels possible, what feels out of reach, and why certain patterns keep repeating despite your best intentions.We'll look at why identity-based change lasts longer than motivation alone, how your nervous system plays a role in what you feel safe receiving, and how the stories you've learned to live from shape your relationships, choices, and sense of self. I also share personal reflections on the internal software I had to outgrow in order to create deeper relationships, clearer self-expression, and a more expansive life.Grounded in both lived experience and psychological research, this episode is an invitation to gently examine the stories you're living from — and to begin updating what no longer matches where you want to go.Because who you've learned to be is not who you're required to stay.Get my book You are a Magnet here.

SOVIET SUBJUGATION, FAMINE, AND THE DESTRUCTION OF INDEPENDENCE Colleague Professor Eugene Finkel. Following the empire's collapse, Ukrainians attempted to form independent states (UNR and ZUNR), but these failed due to internal weakness and external aggression from Bolsheviks and Poles. Finkel describes the subsequent Soviet era, highlighting the Holodomor—a purposeful famine engineered by Stalin in the early 1930s to break Ukrainian resistance and extract grain for industrialization, killing millions. This brutality left Ukraine decimated before World War II, where it became a battleground for Hitler and Stalin. The Soviet victory reinforced the myth that controlling Ukraine was essential for Moscow's security and economy. NUMBER 31913 UKRAINE

Jes Staley has been alleged, in court filings and civil litigation, to have played a far more active role in Jeffrey Epstein's world than merely maintaining a professional banking relationship. Lawsuits and investigative reporting allege that Staley, while a senior executive at JPMorgan Chase, maintained a close personal relationship with Epstein even after the financier's criminal conduct was known internally and publicly. These allegations include claims that Staley helped provide Epstein with credibility, access to elite financial infrastructure, and continued banking services that allowed Epstein to move money, maintain properties, and operate his trafficking network without meaningful interference. Internal emails and documents referenced in litigation have been cited to suggest that Staley did not treat Epstein as a problematic client, but rather as a valued one, despite clear red flags and warnings raised within the bank.More explosively, Epstein survivors and civil complaints have alleged that Staley was not merely an enabler but, in some instances, a participant in Epstein's abuse. These allegations include claims that Staley was present at Epstein-owned properties where abuse occurred and that Epstein referenced Staley in communications involving women and girls. While Staley has categorically denied any involvement in criminal conduct and has not been criminally charged, courts have allowed civil claims and evidence related to his relationship with Epstein to proceed, finding the allegations sufficiently serious to warrant examination. The fallout has been significant: Staley was barred from senior roles in the UK financial sector and fined by regulators for misleading statements about the depth of his relationship with Epstein. Taken together, the allegations portray not just institutional failure, but the possibility that a powerful banking executive crossed from passive complicity into direct moral and legal exposure within Epstein's abuse ecosystem.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

As parents, we often expect ourselves to be completely calm – and even perfect – no matter what comes our way. Yet, in real life, it's all too easy to get stressed and reactive when parenting gets challenging. Internal and external demands can become overwhelming and knock us off center--and this can raise big feelings such as disappointment, anger, and self-doubt. So what are the secrets to creating the inner peace that lets us (more often than not) respond to parenting and other life demands with wisdom, calm, and grace? Today, I'm joined by parenting expert and MamaZen co-founder, Irin Rubin, who will help us explore this deeply important topic. Topics discussed include maternal depression, post-partum depression, perinatal depression, co-regulation, mindset, flooding, motherhood, parenting, support, hypnotherapy, CBT, cognitive behavioral therapy, mom rage, self-care, self-awareness, mindfulness, baby showers, community, well-being, and mental health.Please note that this episode may contain sensitive material; listener discretion is advised.Emergency Assistance Note: If you or someone you know needs immediate support, please call your emergency services.

“If something feels wrong, trust your gut.” – Brittany StevensIn this week's episode, Carol Schultz sits down with employment attorney Brittany Stevens (Partner at Phillips & Associates) to unpack the realities of sexual harassment, workplace discrimination, and power dynamics—and what leaders can do to create workplaces where people feel safe speaking up.Brittany explains how harassment is defined under the law (and why it often differs from what people assume), why so many cases come down to evidence and “totality of circumstances,” and how fear of retaliation keeps employees silent—especially when the harasser holds power. They discuss what strong workplace policies and training should actually include, why some organizations make it hard to report, and how employees can protect themselves when a company is focused on protecting itself. The episode closes with practical guidance for both leaders and employees on building safer systems, documenting issues, and knowing when to seek confidential legal advice.TakeawaysSexual harassment isn't always “obvious”—many cases are subtle and pattern-based.Legal definitions of harassment/discrimination vary across federal, state, and city laws.Power imbalances (boss vs. employee) make reporting feel risky and unsafe.Fear of retaliation is one of the biggest reasons people stay silent.Documentation and internal complaints can significantly strengthen a case.Many companies fail by not having clear reporting policies or trusted processes.Leaders must train managers not only on behavior—but on how to respond to complaints.Discrimination can happen anywhere—industry, company size, and role don't matter.Some terminations get “hidden” behind restructuring or reductions in force.Consulting a law firm can be a confidential way to understand your options.Chapters00:00 Intro: The taboo topic—sexual harassment & workplace safety00:49 What Brittany's firm does (employee-side discrimination law)02:19 Why the firm was founded & what motivates this work02:50 Defining harassment vs. what people think harassment is04:28 Harassment isn't always sexual: hostile work environments & protected classes05:15 Evidence, documentation, and why cases are fact-dependent06:16 Power dynamics: why “just say no” isn't realistic07:43 What victims can do when they fear repercussions08:25 Why policies and reporting systems often fail (or don't exist)10:40 Vetting employers: red flags, lawsuits, and research before accepting jobs11:13 DEI changes and what may shift over time12:01 Discrimination happens everywhere (yes—even “good” companies)13:00 What leaders should do: training, reporting, investigations, real support15:54 Women vs. men: patterns Brittany sees in harassment and discrimination cases16:46 Disability/medical termination & “restructuring” as a cover18:35 How Phillips & Associates evolved and expanded over time20:05 Growth bottlenecks: why jurisdiction/laws matter21:21 Why expand into less employee-friendly states like Florida22:58 Client trust: the importance of fast support and connection23:54 Internal training: listening, empathy, and handling emotional calls26:10 Choosing a path: quiet resolution vs. litigation27:03 How to find the firm & their contingency model29:24 Final thoughts: protecting yourself when the company protects itselfConnect With Host Carol SchultzFind more information about our host Carol Schultz and her company at Vertical Elevation,

Welcome back to Snafu with Robin Zander. In this episode, I'm joined by Jeff Jaworsky, who shares his journey from a global role at Google to running his own business while prioritizing time with his children. We talk about the pivotal life and career decisions that shaped this transition, focusing on the importance of setting boundaries—both personally and professionally. Jeff shares insights on leaving a structured corporate world for entrepreneurship and the lessons learned along the way. We also explore the evolving landscape of sales and entrepreneurship, highlighting how integrating human connection and coaching skills is more important than ever in a tech-driven world. The conversation touches on the role of AI and technology, emphasizing how they can support—but not replace—essential human relationships. Jeff offers practical advice for coaches and salespeople on leveraging their natural skills and hints at a potential future book exploring the intersection of leadership, coaching, and sales. If you're curious about what's next for thoughtful leadership, entrepreneurship, and balancing work with life, this episode is for you. And for more conversations like this, get your tickets for Snafu Conference 2026 on March 5th here, where we'll continue exploring human connection, business, and the evolving role of AI. Start (0:00) Early life and first real boundary Jeff grew up up in a structured, linear environment Decisions largely made for you Clear expectations, predictable paths Post–high school as the first inflection point College chosen because it's "what you're supposed to do" Dream: ESPN sports anchor (explicit role model: Stuart Scott) Reality check through research Job placement rate: ~3% First moment of asking: Is this the best use of my time? Is this fair to the people investing in me (parents)? Boundary lesson #1 Letting go of a dream doesn't mean failure Boundaries can be about honesty, not limitation Choosing logic over fantasy can unlock unexpected paths Dropping out of college → accidental entry into sales Working frontline sales at Best Buy while in school Selling computers, service plans, handling customers daily Decision to leave college opens capacity Manager notices and offers leadership opportunity Takes on home office department Largest sales category in the store Youngest supervisor in the company (globally) at 19 Early leadership challenges Managing people much older Navigating credibility, age bias, exclusion Learning influence without authority Boundary insight Temporary decisions can become formative Saying "yes" doesn't mean you're locked in forever Second boundary: success without sustainability Rapid growth at Best Buy Promotions Increasing responsibility Observing manager life up close 60-hour weeks No real breaks Lunch from vending machines Internal checkpoint Is this the life I want long-term? Distinguishing: Liking the work Disliking the cost Boundary lesson #2 You can love a craft and still reject the lifestyle around it Boundaries protect the future version of you Returning to school with intention Decision to go back to college This time with clarity Sales and marketing degree by design, not default Accelerated path Graduates in three years Clear goal: catch up, not start over Internship at J. Walter Thompson Entry into agency world Launch of long-term sales and marketing career Pattern recognition: how boundaries actually work Ongoing self-check at every stage Have I learned what I came here to learn? Am I still growing? Is this experience still stretching me? Boundaries as timing, not rejection Experiences "run their course" Leaving doesn't invalidate what came before Non-linear growth Sometimes stepping down is strategic Demotion → education Senior role → frontline role (later at Google) Downward moves that enable a bigger climb later Shared reflection with Robin Sales as a foundational skill Comparable to: Surfing (handling forces bigger than you) Early exposure to asking, pitching, rejection Best Buy reframed Customer service under pressure Handling frustrated, misinformed, emotional people Humility + persuasion + resilience Parallel experiences Robin selling a restaurant after learning everything she could Knowing the next step (expansion) and choosing not to take it Walking away without knowing what's next Core philosophy: learning vs. maintaining "If I'm not learning, I'm dying" Builder mindset, not maintainer Growth as a non-negotiable Career decisions guided by curiosity, not status Titles are temporary Skills compound Ladders vs. experience stacks Rejecting the myth of linear progression Valuing breadth, depth, and contrast The bridge metaphor Advice for people stuck between "not this" and "not sure what next" Don't leap blindly Build a bridge Bridge components Low-risk experiments Skill development Small tests in parallel with current work Benefits Reduces panic Increases clarity Turns uncertainty into movement Framing the modern career question Referencing the "jungle gym, not a ladder" idea Careers as lateral, diagonal, looping — not linear Growth through range, not just depth Connecting to Range and creative longevity Diverse experiences as a competitive advantage Late bloomers as evidence that exploration compounds Naming the real fear beneath the metaphor What if exploration turns into repeated failure? What if the next five moves don't work? Risk of confusing experimentation with instability Adding today's pressure cooker Economic uncertainty AI and automation reshaping work faster than previous generations experienced The tension between adaptability and survival The core dilemma How do you pursue a non-linear path without tumbling back to zero? How do you "build the bridge" instead of jumping blindly? How do you keep earning while evolving? The two-year rule Treating commitments like a contract with yourself Two years as a meaningful unit of time Long enough to: Learn deeply Be challenged Experience failure and recovery Short enough to avoid stagnation Boundaries around optional exits Emergency ripcord exists But default posture is commitment, not escape Psychological benefit Reduces panic during hard moments Prevents constant second-guessing Encourages depth over novelty chasing The 18-month check-in Using the final stretch strategically Asking: Am I still learning? Am I still challenged? Does this align with my principles? Shifting from execution to reflection Early exploration of "what's next" Identifying gaps: Skills to acquire Experiences to test Regaining control External forces aren't always controllable Internal planning always is Why most people get stuck Planning too late Waiting until: Layoffs Burnout Forced transitions Trying to design the future in crisis Limited creativity Fear-based decisions Contrast with proactive planning Calm thinking Optionality Leverage Extending the contract Recognizing unfinished business Loving the work Still growing Still contributing meaningfully One-year extensions as intentional choices Not inertia Not fear Conscious recommitment A long career, one organization at a time Example: nearly 13 years at Google Six different roles Multiple reinventions inside one company Pattern over prestige Frontline sales Sales leadership Enablement Roles as chapters, not identities Staying while growing Leaving only when growth plateaus Experience stacking over ladder climbing Rejecting linear advancement Titles matter less than skills Accumulating perspective Execution Leadership Systems Transferable insight What works with customers What works internally What scales Sales enablement as an example of bridge-building Transition motivated by impact Desire to help at scale Supporting many sellers, not just personal results A natural evolution, not a pivot Built on prior sales experience Expanded influence Bridge logic in action Skills reused Scope widened Risk managed Zooming out: sales, stigma, and parenting Introducing the next lens: children Three boys: 13, 10, 7 Confronting sales stereotypes Slimy Manipulative Self-serving Tension between reputation and reality Loving sales Building a career around it Teaching it without replicating the worst versions Redefining sales as a helping profession Sales as service Primary orientation: benefit to the other person Compensation as a byproduct, not the driver Ethical center Believe in what you're recommending Stand behind its value Sleep well regardless of outcome Losses reframed Most deals don't close Failure as feedback Integrity as the constant Selling to kids (and being sold by them) Acknowledging reality Everyone sells, constantly Titles don't matter Teaching ethos, not tactics How you persuade matters more than whether you win Kindness Thoughtfulness Awareness of the other side Everyday negotiations Bedtime extensions Appeals to age, fairness, peer behavior Sales wins without good reasoning Learning opportunity Success ≠ good process Boundaries still matter Why sales gets a bad reputation Root cause: selfishness Focus on "what I get" Language centered on personal gain Misaligned value exchange Overselling Underdelivering The alternative Lead with value for the other side Hold mutual benefit in the background Make the exchange explicit and fair Boundaries as protection for both sides Clear scope What's included What's not Saying no as a service Preventing resentment Preserving trust Entrepreneurial lens Boundaries become essential Scope creep erodes value Clarity sustains long-term relationships Value exchange, scope, and boundaries Every request starts with discernment, not enthusiasm What value am I actually providing? What problem am I solving? How much time, energy, and attention will this really take? The goal isn't just a "yes" Both sides need to feel good about: What's being given What's being received What's being expected What's realistically deliverable Sales as a two-sided coin Mutual benefit matters Overselling creates future resentment Promising "the moon and the stars" is how trust breaks later Boundaries as self-respect Clear limits protect delivery quality Good boundaries prevent repeating bad sales dynamics Saying less upfront often enables better outcomes long-term Transitioning into coaching and the SNAFU Conference Context for the work today Speaking at the inaugural SNAFU Conference Focused on reluctant salespeople and non-sales roles Why coaching became the next chapter Sales is everywhere, regardless of title Coaching emerged as a natural extension of sales leadership The origin story at Google Transition from sales leadership to enablement Core question: how do we help sellers have better conversations? Result: building Google's global sales coaching program Grounded in practice and feedback Designed to prepare for high-stakes conversations The hidden overlap between sales and coaching Coaching as an underutilized advantage Especially powerful for sales leaders Shared core skills Deep curiosity Active listening Presence in conversation Reflecting back what's heard, not what you assume The co-creation mindset Not leading someone to your solution Guiding toward their desired outcome Why this changes everything Coaching improves leadership effectiveness Coaching improves sales outcomes Coaching reshapes how decisions get made A personal inflection point: learning to listen Feedback that lingered "Jeff is often the first and last to speak in meetings" The realization Seniority amplified his voice Being directive wasn't the same as being effective The shift Stop being the first to speak Invite more voices Lead with curiosity, not certainty The result More evolved perspectives Better decisions Sometimes realizing he was simply wrong The parallel to sales Talking at customers limits discovery Pre-built pitch decks obscure real needs The "right widget" only emerges through listening What the work looks like today A synthesis of experiences Buyer Seller Sales leader Enablement leader Executive coach How that shows up in practice Executive coaching for sales and revenue leaders Supporting decision-making Developing more coach-like leadership styles Workshops and trainings Helping managers coach more effectively Building durable sales skills Advisory work Supporting sales and enablement organizations at scale The motivation behind the shift Returning to the core questions: Am I learning? Am I growing? Am I challenged? A pull toward broader impact A desire to test whether this work could scale beyond one company Why some practices thrive and others stall Observing the difference Similar credentials Similar training Radically different outcomes The uncomfortable truth The difference is sales Entrepreneurship without romance Businesses don't "arrive" on their own Clients don't magically appear Visibility, rejection, iteration are unavoidable Core requirements Clear brand Defined ICP Articulated value Credibility to support the claim Debunking "overnight success" Success is cumulative Built on years of unseen experience Agency life + Google made entrepreneurship possible Sales as a universal survival skill Especially now Crowded markets Economic uncertainty Increased competition Sales isn't manipulation It's how value moves through the world Avoiding the unpersuadable Find people who already want what you offer Make it easier for them to say yes For those who "don't want to sell" Either learn it Or intentionally outsource it But you can't pretend it doesn't exist The vision board and the decision to leap December 18, 2023 45th birthday Chosen as a forcing function Purpose of the date Accountability, not destiny A moment to decide: stay or go Milestones on the back Coaching certification Experience thresholds Personal readiness Listening to the inner signal The repeated message: "It's time" The bridge was already built Skills stacked Experience earned Risk understood Stepping forward without full certainty You never know what's on the other side You only learn once you cross and look around Decision-making and vision boards Avoid forcing yourself to meet arbitrary deadlines Even if a date is set for accountability (e.g., a 45th birthday milestone), the real question is: When am I ready to act? Sometimes waiting isn't necessary; acting sooner can make sense Boundaries tie directly into these decisions They help you align personal priorities with professional moves Recognizing what matters most guides the "when" and "how" of major transitions Boundaries in the leap from corporate to entrepreneurship Biggest boundary: family and presence with children Managing a global team meant constant connectivity and messages across time zones Transitioning to your own business allowed more control over work hours, clients, and priorities The pro/con framework reinforced the choice Written lists can clarify trade-offs For this example, the deciding factor was: "They get their dad back" Boundaries in entrepreneurship are intertwined with opportunity More freedom comes with more responsibility You can choose your hours, clients, and areas of focus—but still must deliver results Preparing children for a rapidly changing world Skill priorities extend beyond AI and automation Technology literacy is essential, but kids will likely adapt faster than adults Focus on human skills Building networks Establishing credibility Navigating relationships and complex decisions Sales-related skills apply Curiosity, empathy, observation, and problem-solving help them adapt to change These skills are timeless, even as roles and tools evolve Human skills in an AI-driven world AI is additive, not replacement Leverage AI to complement work, not fear it Understand what AI does well and where human judgment is irreplaceable Coaching and other human-centered skills remain critical Lived experience, storytelling, and nuanced judgment cannot be fully replaced by AI Technology enables scale but doesn't replace complex human insight The SNAFU Conference embodies this principle Brings humans together to share experiences and learn Demonstrates that face-to-face interaction, stories, and mutual learning remain valuable Advice for coaches learning to sell Coaches already possess critical sales skills Curiosity, active listening, presence, problem identification, co-creating solutions These skills, when applied to sales, still fall within a helping profession Key approach Use your coaching skills to generate business ethically Reframe sales as an extension of support, not self-interest For salespeople Learn coaching skills to improve customer conversations Coaching strengthens empathy, listening, and problem-solving abilities, all core to effective selling Book and resource recommendations Non-classical sales books Setting the Table by Danny Meyer → emphasizes culture and service as a form of sales Unreasonable Hospitality by Will Guidara → creating value through care for people Coaching-focused books Self as Coach, Self as Leader by Pam McLean Resources from the Hudson Institute of Coaching Gap in sales literature Few resources fully integrate coaching with sales Potential upcoming book: The Power of Coaching and Sales  

Detroit Lions Podcast: Dan Campbell's F, OC Reset Campbell's Grade and What Comes Next Dan Campbell graded himself with an F. The Detroit Lions missed the NFL postseason. His end-of-year session landed early and it stung. He was blunt about accountability. He is the decision maker. The Detroit Lions Podcast drilled into what that means for the staff and the offense. Campbell would not detail what he wants to move away from. "I don't want to get into that right now," he said. He added that he needs a few days to think and "deep dive some areas" before making decisions. That restraint matters after a frustrating finish. Midseason Play Calling, Game Management, and Risk Campbell took over offensive play calling midseason. That is a different world than starting a season as the play caller. Delegation structures and weekly prep rhythms change. The offense often looked more coherent after the switch. The plans made more sense. Not always, but often. Some choices still need a governor. There were moments to take points. There were moments to dial back the impulse for gadget plays. One example loomed large: a trick look with David Montgomery trying to throw to Jared Goff on third and short in a must-win spot. The line between aggression and recklessness is thin. Closing that gap is part of the offseason brief. Staff Decisions, OC Path, and Line Lessons One conclusion was clear: bringing John Morton back as offensive coordinator cannot happen. If there is a way to soften that blow, a reassignment to tight ends was floated, but he is now at Iowa State after a one-and-done. Either way, the OC chair must be reset. Internal promotions seem unlikely. The staff did not make an in-season adjustment with Hank Fraley, Scottie Montgomery, Mark Brunell, or David Shaw to lighten Campbell's duties. If that was the plan, it would have happened to stabilize the offense and the sideline. The dual role of head coach and in-game play caller proved untenable over time. That reality fueled Campbell's harsh self-grade. The run game also drew scrutiny. Fraley remains a strong offensive line coach. As run game coordinator, though, this was not his best year. Too many assignments demanded blocks certain players could not physically execute. That is a coordination issue as much as a player issue. Some of that traces back to Morton. Some of it sits with the broader design. None of it means rash firings. It does mean recalibration. Campbell referenced lessons tied to Frank Ragnow and how they apply to Taylor Decker. Details were not disclosed, but the implication was thoughtful evaluation, not snap judgments. Decker is expected to speak with Brad Holmes soon. The message across Allen Park is consistent: think it through, fix the structure, and return with a cleaner plan for the next NFL season. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kly7GrUmERU #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #dancampbell #nflpostseason #offensiveplaycalling #johnmorton #offensivecoordinatorsearch #hankfraley #scottiemontgomery #markbrunell #davidmontgomerytrickplay #jaredgoff #rungamecoordination #taylordecker #frankragnow #bradholmes Learn more about your ad choices.

 "Stop reaching externally for answers because intuitively, if you really, really sit quietly with yourself and feel, you have all the answers for yourself." —Dr. Jennifer Haley   Our skin reacts long before we slow down enough to notice. Breakouts, inflammation, and chronic issues often point to patterns we normalize every day, from food choices to stress to environmental exposure. This conversation cuts through noise and shame and brings the focus back to what our bodies are already telling us. Dr. Jennifer Haley shares how her background in nutrition and dermatology reshaped the way she treats skin, not as an isolated problem but as part of a larger system connected to gut health, hormones, and the brain. Listen with an open mind and a grocery list nearby. Skin as a reflection of internal health Acne, rosacea, and the gut-skin-brain connection How food quality and blood sugar affect inflammation Dairy, processed foods, and hormone disruption The role of stress, cortisol, and nervous system balance Organic foods, pesticides, and everyday exposure Why moderation works better than restriction Cyclical health needs for women across life stages Trusting intuition over rigid wellness rules   Meet Jennifer:  Dr. Jennifer Haley is a board-certified dermatologist with nearly 22 years of experience and a strong background in nutrition. After earning her undergraduate degree in nutrition from Cornell University, she built her practice around a holistic approach to skin health, integrating nutrition and wellness into dermatological care. Dr. Haley is an advocate for education and patient empowerment. She is actively involved in developing AI platforms for dermatology, hosts her own podcast "Radiance Revealed," and shares insights into skin health and lifestyle. Dr. Haley is recognized for her commitment to helping patients take ownership of their health and for her passion in making expert dermatological care accessible to all.

THE BLIP AND THE FUTURE Colleague Keach Hagey, The Optimist. The viral success of ChatGPT shifted OpenAI's focus from safety to commercialization, despite early internal warnings about the existential risks of AGI. Tensions over safety and Altman's management style led to a "blip" where the nonprofit board fired him, only for him to be quickly reinstated due to employee loyalty. Elon Musk, having lost a power struggle for control of the organization, severed ties, leaving Altman to lead the race toward AGI. NUMBER 16 FEBRUARY 1955
