In 2010, software engineer Natalie Gordon was pregnant– and fed up with the overwhelming baby aisles in big box stores. So she quit her computer job to code the registry she wished existed. No pink-and-blue giraffes. No allegiance to a single store. Just a universal list that let friends give the real help that new parents need—from strollers to diaper services to dog-walking.Natalie coded the first lines of Babylist during her son's nap time. She managed customer support, pitched bloggers from coffee shops, and learned growth the hard way—first through affiliates, then with a pivotal Pinterest bet, and finally by taking on her own inventory (and all the headaches that come with it). Along the way she wrestled with hiring, firing, fundraising, and the identity shift from founder to CEO. Today, Babylist is one of the most trusted parenting platforms in the U.S., with a retail arm, editorial content, and a program for providing breast pumps. This is a masterclass in living a problem–and building a solution. You'll learn:How to spot a customer pain point and design an MVP around itThe power of slow viralityHow to use a small seed round without losing controlThe painful path from affiliate revenue to first-party e-commerceStumbles with hiring – and firing– as a first-time CEOHow paid growth works on visual platforms like PinterestHow “controlling your destiny” justifies a hard shift in business modelHow coaching and feedback helps you evolve from founder to leaderTimestamps:05:32 - Learning to solve hard problems at Amazon -08:28 - Sabbatical in Latin America: Natalie's first (failed) business and what it taught her17:50 - A meltdown in a superstore → the Babylist “aha” moment19:40 - Designing a universal registry, dog-walking included24:42 - Blitzing the mommy blogs, a “pregnant hacker” post on Hacker News30:01 - Why $140/month revenue felt like a victory39:18 - Going solo at an Accelerator, and the agony of early hiring and firing49:29 - From “slowly viral” to real scale, and how Pinterest helped58:09 - Affiliate links to in-house inventory → piles of bassinets in the office 1:01:57 - COVID's unexpected windfall, the health wedge (breast pumps & beyond)This episode was produced by Kerry Thompson with music by Ramtin Arablouei.

If you've ever hesitated to hit send, make the call, or follow up because you didn't want to “bug” your donors, this episode is for you.That fear isn't really about your donors, it's about you. It's your ego trying to keep you safe from rejection, discomfort, or embarrassment. But every time you let that fear win, you lose more than a donation. You lose momentum, trust, and connection. In this episode, I share how I coach fundraisers to move from me mode to mission mode. Because when you stop performing and start leading, everything changes. You'll learn how to reframe rejection, build confidence, and lead with courage instead of apology. Your donors aren't tired of hearing from you; they've just stopped hearing you. Generosity doesn't happen in silence, it happens because you asked.Topics:The real reason fundraisers fear “bugging” donors (and what it costs your mission)How ego and self-protection masquerade as “strategy”Moving from “me mode” to “mission mode” in your fundraising approachWhy consistency builds donor trust and silence erodes itThe mindset and language shift from apologetic to confident askingFor a full list of links and resources mentioned in this episode, click here.Bloomerang is the complete donor, volunteer, and fundraising management solution that helps thousands of nonprofits deliver a better giving experience and create sustainable, thriving organizations.

In the Victorian era, mourning wasn't just an emotion — it was a way of life. From black veils and funeral etiquetteto hair jewellery and post-mortem photography, grief became an art form — and death, a thriving industry.In this episode of The StickyBeak, Monika O'Hanlon dives into the darkly fascinating world of Victorian mourning culture — a time when death was public, ritualistic, and deeply personal.Monika is joined by Al, a U.S.-based collector of Victorian mourning artifacts, who shares eerie insights into the era's most curious traditions.

If your content isn't getting engagement, or your audience isn't buying, this episode will explain why. In this week's Unjaded, Vickie Dickson breaks down the five levels of awareness, a copywriting concept as old as marketing itself, and shows you how to apply it to your content so that people can actually hear you.Most entrepreneurs are creating content for the people who are already ready to buy, but here's the truth: 70% of your audience isn't even close to that stage. They don't know they have a problem, let alone that you're the one with the solution.Using real examples from live content audits inside Content by Design, Vickie shows you how to stop skipping steps in your messaging, how to meet your audience where they are, and how to move them closer to buying, from unaware to most aware, using real, grounded content that connects.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy 70% of your audience can't even hear your content yetThe five levels of awareness: Unaware, Problem Aware, Solution Aware, Your Solution Aware, and Most AwareHow to identify what level your audience is actually in (and how to meet them there)What kind of content to create at each stage of the awareness funnel so that your conent converts to paying clients.Real-world examples from Content by Design clients who were missing the mark—and how to fix itThe single biggest mistake entrepreneurs make when trying to sell onlineKey TakeawayPeople will do more to move away from pain than to move toward pleasure.

This week on Everybody in the Pool, we're talking water — and the invisible pollutants hiding in it. Microfibers from textiles are one of the biggest sources of microplastics in our oceans, choking marine ecosystems and undermining the ocean's role as the planet's carbon sink.Our guest is Adam Root, founder and CEO of Matter, who shares his insane founder story, from £250 and a shed to a budding Japanese street food empire to Matter, which is helping major textile manufacturers keep millions of liters of water cleaner every day. It's an epic founder story with big implications for clean water and healthy oceans.We cover:How washing machines and textile factories shed microfibers at massive scaleWhy current filtration is wasteful — and how Matter's regenerative filters solve itThe founder story that went from Japanese street food stalls to the G7 stageWhat this means for oceans, sludge management (yes, really), and circular materials in the futureLinks:Matter Industries Website: https://matter.industries/Adam Root LinkedInAll episodes: https://www.everybodyinthepool.com/Subscribe to the Everybody in the Pool newsletter: https://www.mollywood.co/Become a member and get an ad-free version of the podcast: https://everybodyinthepool.supercast.com/What you can do to help:Please subscribe and tell your friends about Everybody in the Pool!Send feedback or become a sponsor! in@everybodyinthepool.com Hosted on Acast.

Welcome back to the Dr. Kinney Show!Book Sign-Up -- https://www.thekinneyclinic.com/bookIn this solo episode, I'm sharing what I've been up to during my podcast pause and opening up about the inspiration behind my new book. I dive into one of my core teachings, learning to earn more energy than you spend, and explain how taking time to rest, recharge, and slow down can actually help you move faster, feel better, and live more intentionally.I talk about how cortisol functions like your body's energy currency, how imbalance leads to burnout, and how training your “relaxation muscle” can transform both your health and your relationships. Through personal stories and the analogies I use in my book, I explore the connection between stress, hormones, emotional suppression, and overall vitality.In this episode, I discuss:Why I paused the podcast to focus on writing my new bookThe core message behind the book: earning more energy than you spendHow cortisol acts as the body's energy currencyThe importance of rest, recharge, and creative spaceWhat happens when the body runs low on cortisol and compensates with adrenalineHow stress and hormone imbalance can show up as fatigue, anxiety, or burnoutThe “relaxation muscle” analogy and how to strengthen itThe impact of internal vs. external stressors on energyThe role of emotional suppression in chronic health issuesWhy healing requires time in the rest and digest stateIf you've been running on empty or pushing through exhaustion, this episode is your reminder that pausing isn't weakness, it's the key to restoring your energy, creativity, and health.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeLive from “pre-ASTA,” Matt sits down with two “industry nobodies” (his words) who… are anything but. The trio gets honest about what makes training worth the time and money—and what ruins it. They dig into presenter prep (yes, 40 hours for a 4-hour class), class vetting, sponsor pressure, why a sexy scope trick isn't always the right first move, and how to bring new voices onto the stage without burning attendees. They also share practical advice for first-timers at training expos so you learn more and regret less.What we coverWhy one weak class can poison a whole event—and how to prevent itThe difference between a presenter and an educatorBrandon's CTI “boot camp” lessons: pacing, body language, audience interactionTeaching your experience vs. reading someone else's slidesThe “pico math channel” vs. relative compression—start simple, earn the complexityReal-world prep: building a class, flow, case study sourcing, time costs no one seesSponsor dynamics: class quality vs. class quantityVetting ideas: short audition decks, Zoom mini-presentations, real Q&APathways for new trainers: Techs Informing Techs, vision-style tech talks, co-teaching/mentorshipFeedback that helps: beyond Scantron; what to write so organizers can actAttendee playbook: note-taking, pacing yourself, lobby networking, post-event reviewQuick takeawaysFor trainersIf you didn't write the class, make it your own—prep until you could answer questions without the deck.Lead with the right test, not the flashiest one. Wow factor is not a learning objective.Ask a veteran to review your flow. Co-teach if you can.For event organizersDon't let sponsorship replace standards. Vet instructors with a 10–15 slide audition + live Q&A.Reward quality: fewer tracks > more mediocre tracks.Follow up for feedback after the event; invite longer-form comments.For attendeesBring a notebook/app, a highlighter, and capture 3 “do-this-Monday” items per session.Don't try to copy every slide—listen for the why and the decision tree.Network on purpose. Introduce yourself. Follow up a week later as you review notes.Notable moments/quotes“Teaching is the fun part—I'd do that for free. You're really paying for the prep.” — Brandon“You can't preach ‘training matters' and then short-change the delivery.” — Matt“We need an on-ramp for new presenters—safe reps before three-hour sets.” — Matt“Start with the test that answers the question fastest.” — BobShout-outs & mentionsMobilityWorks — Bob's focus on vehicles modified for physically disabled drivers/passengersCTI/Worldpac instructor boot camp (presenter craft)Techs Informing Techs / vision-style tech talks — great first stage repsPico Technology concepts referenced (math channels, relative compression)Who this episode helpsTechs deciding whether to spend the time/money to travel for trainingNew and aspiring trainers looking for the right entry pathOrganizers who want higher attendee retention and better word-of-mouthCall to actionBeen to a class that changed your workflow—or wasted your time?

Most golfers hear it as one of their first tips: "Keep your head still." But what if we told you that trying to freeze your head is destroying your swing mechanics?In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down one of golf's most misunderstood concepts—the illusion of head stillness. Whether you've been told you “lifted your head” or you're battling inconsistent ball striking, chances are this advice is doing more harm than good.We'll explain the biomechanics of head movement in elite golf swings, why it's actually impossible to keep your head completely still, and how forcing it leads to poor body mechanics, reverse pivots, and swing compensations.You'll learn:Why trying to “lock your head” creates chaos elsewhere in your swingHow rotational body mechanics naturally move your head (and why that's a good thing)The mobility requirements behind elite-looking swingsHow aging impacts head movement—and what the Champions Tour proves about itThe real fix: how to improve movement patterns to let your head do what it's supposed toThis isn't your dad's golf tip—it's a modern, biomechanical reality check grounded in data, tour-level analysis, and real-world student experience.If you've ever struggled with head position, reverse spine tilt, or staying “down” through the shot, this one's for you.

317 – What do you think of when you hear the word "evangelism"? Is it a good thing? Or does it make you cringe? All too often evangelism today has a negative connotation with some folks. The word is often associated with Christians, who may or may not be imbibing the true spirit of Christ.Others, even many within the Christian church, get evangelism and proselytizing mixed up. They don't want to be too pushy in sharing their faith, so they don't share it at all. They don't like people who try to forcefully manipulate them to believe in Christ the way a pushy salesman tries to make a sale. And they don't want to be that person.There's a huge need within the Christian church as a whole to return to the original meaning of the word evangelism. In this week's episode we're going to talk about What true evangelism today is Why it's so important for you to participate in itThe example Jesus gives on how to share your faith•••••••••••••••••Previous episodes mentioned this week: Episode 288: Jesus's Death on the Cross Does not Save You from Your Sins; it's His ResurrectionEpisode 32: The Parable of the Unbaked CakeSHOW NOTES: For a full transcript and all the Bible quotes, go to thebiblespeakstoyou.com/317Text me your questions or comments.I'm putting together a special program called Guilt Free Faith.

Rural America is on the brink of an economic transformation. With more than $1 trillion in advanced manufacturing investments (and nearly two-thirds of that flowing into rural regions) this moment represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to revitalize local economies, strengthen school-industry partnerships, and empower students with career pathways in advanced manufacturing.Matt Kirchner sits down with Duwain Pinder, Partner at McKinsey & Company and a leader of the McKinsey Institute for Economic Mobility to explore the institute's new report: Manufacturing in rural America: A plan for K–12–industry partnershipsThis conversation examines the gap between the career-connected learning students want access to, and the opportunities afforded them in rural districts. Matt and Duwain discuss how manufacturers and school districts can work together to close this gap and prepare the next generation for the influx of jobs coming to rural America.Listen to learn:Why 63% of $1 trillion in new U.S. manufacturing investment happening within 15 miles of rural communities means for K-12 educationHow we solve the problem of 8 in 10 students wanting access to career-connected learning, but only 3 in 10 having itThe $34 billion annual wage impact advanced manufacturing could create for rural Americans, and what must happen to realize itWhy employers should think about school districts like they do about their suppliersWhat success could look like in 2035 if schools and industry build long-term, evidence-based partnerships that sustain economic mobility3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Rural America is the new frontier for advanced manufacturing. McKinsey's analysis found that 63 % of $1 trillion in announced U.S. manufacturing investments are being built within 15 miles of rural communities. Pinder explains that these projects will define America's manufacturing future and bring high-quality jobs to places that have long been left behind.2. The skills gap solution isn't either-or...students need basic academic and technical skills. McKinsey's research shows that foundational reading and math scores are eroding across the U.S., especially in rural communities, even as demand grows for advanced manufacturing talent. Duwain and Matt agree that employers shouldn't accept this trade-off. Students must graduate ready to read, calculate, and communicate and understand robotics, PLCs, and other manufacturing tech, which requires schools and employers to work together on both fronts.3. Using existing successful models (not always reinventing the wheel) will help rural K-12 accelerate and scale career-connected learning. Nearly 8 in 10 rural students want apprenticeships and hands-on learning, yet only 3 in 10 can access them, a gap that represents a massive opportunity. Evidence-based models like youth apprenticeships, dual-enrollment, and early-college high schools already exist. If districts embrace these, plus partner with employers and workforce associations, they can create career-connected learning more quickly.Visit the show notes page for more We want to hear from you!
