Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa explores how the books we loved when we were young helped shape what we notice, value, question, and carry into adulthood AND how our own stories  can help us write a better resume.From Erma Bombeck and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple to Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and more, this episode looks at the “childhood bookshelf” as more than nostalgia. Those early stories may have taught us how to solve problems, recognize patterns, seek belonging, survive broken systems, resist being reduced to one role, and remember who we were before burnout took over.Vanessa also talks about reading with children and teens, the difference between censorship and conversation, and why the books young people choose can give us clues about what they are trying to understand.In the Career Transition and Job Search segment, Vanessa moves into resume basics for teachers leaving the classroom. She explains why a modern resume is not your whole life story, why skills should be shown through evidence-rich bullet points instead of a disconnected skills section, and how teachers can begin turning real classroom stories into quantifiable resume accomplishments.You'll also hear about the “Everything Resume” — a master resume template that holds your stories, accomplishments, projects, leadership roles, certifications, data stories, communication wins, and more — so you have raw material ready when it is time to tailor a resume for a specific job posting.Episode highlights:Why childhood books may still hold clues about who we areHow Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z reading experiences shaped different kinds of courageWhy “stories matter” does not mean censorship is the answerHow rereading old favorites can help reconnect us with ourselvesWhy teachers need targeted resumes, not one perfect resume for every jobHow to turn teaching stories into resume bullet pointsWhy quantifiable resume metrics matterWhat an Everything Resume is and why teachers should build oneHow SCOUT helps Vanessa's clients explore career direction and translate teaching experienceMentioned in this episode:Erma Bombeck — Aunt Erma's Cope Book and other humor collections Carolyn Keene — Nancy Drew series Franklin W.

What happens when your body gives up… but your business still depends on you?In this powerful episode of the Off The Tools Podcast, Wayne Bettess and Andy Jones dive into the retirement trap no tradesman talks about — and why so many self-employed plumbers, heating engineers, electricians and tradesmen unknowingly build themselves a job with no exit strategy.If you're a self-employed tradesman, business owner, sole trader or subcontractor, this conversation will challenge the way you think about money, freedom, retirement, recurring revenue and long-term business growth.Because here's the uncomfortable truth:Most tradesmen don't have an exit plan… they just plan to keep working.And when your income is tied to your body, that becomes a serious problem.Why most self-employed tradesmen have no retirement planThe dangerous trap of relying on your body to earn moneyWhy self-employment without systems becomes a stressful jobHow to create an exit strategy from your trade businessThe truth about pensions, recurring revenue & business valueWhy many tradesmen stay stuck in survival modeHow to stop trading time for money foreverWhy “working harder” isn't a long-term strategyBuilding a trades business that creates freedom, profit & securityHow recurring income changes everything in a plumbing, heating or electrical business✅ Tradesmen business coaching✅ Plumbing business coaching UK✅ Heating engineer business advice✅ Gas engineer business growth✅ Self-employed tradesman advice✅ Exit planning for trades businesses✅ Boiler care plans & recurring revenue✅ How to grow a profitable trade business✅ Retirement planning for self-employed tradesmen✅ Building a trade business that works without you✅ Scaling a plumbing or heating business✅ Freedom, time & profit for tradespeopleAre you building a business… or just building yourself a job you'll never escape from?Wayne and Andy unpack the harsh reality that many self-employed tradesmen work harder every year but never build security for the future.From burnout and poor health to financial pressure and lack of planning, they explain why the traditional “just work harder” mindset no longer works in the trades industry.More importantly…They reveal how to start building something that creates time, freedom, profit and long-term stability — without needing a massive team or huge company.Self-employed plumbersHeating engineers & gas engineersElectricians & buildersSole traders feeling trapped in the day-to-day grindTrades business owners wanting more freedomAnyone looking for tradesmen business coachingTradespeople wanting to future-proof their business & incomeSelf-employment is not the goal. Freedom is.And freedom comes from building a business with systems, recurring revenue, better pricing and a plan for the future — not just working harder for longer.If your retirement plan is simply to “keep going”…You don't have a plan.

Most careers don't follow a straight line. But few require starting over in full view of the public.This week, Halle sits down with Lance Armstrong to discuss how he rebuilt his life and career after multiple turning points, including surviving advanced cancer, and how those experiences shaped his perspective on health, performance, and reinvention. Now, through his venture firm Next Ventures, he backs companies focused on what they call “whole person health” — spanning prevention, wellness, diagnostics, longevity, and healthcare outside the traditional system.We cover:Why he chose to become a VC, and what he likes (and dislikes) about the jobHow his experience as a patient shapes how he evaluates companiesWhy preventive care is growing outside the traditional healthcare systemWhat he looks for in founders building across the care continuumWhat it takes to rebuild trust and start overAbout our guest:Lance Armstrong is a former professional cyclist, entrepreneur, and investor. After surviving advanced testicular cancer, he founded Livestrong, helping raise more than $500 million to support cancer patients and survivors worldwide. In 2019, he co-founded Next Ventures, a venture capital firm focused on health, wellness, and consumer brands, with investments including Oura, Cofertility, Pair Team, and SteadyMD. Prior to Next Ventures, he was an active angel investor in companies such as Uber, DocuSign, and Athletic Brewing.—

Is trauma stored in the body? Can fascia release heal it? Is there one modality, one practitioner, one magic pill that's finally going to fix you?Short answer: no.I'm Jen Wilson, The Healing Rebel, and this episode is me wading into the conversation (and in some places, the argument) that's playing out across the wellness industry right now. There's a particular kind of marketing happening where practitioners are promising trauma release through fascia work, and there's a particular kind of seeking happening where people are looking for the one thing that'll resolve everything.I want to talk honestly about what's actually going on in your body when you experience trauma, what fascia is and isn't, what touch and movement and breath actually do, and why the "pill for every ill" mentality keeps us stuck.What I cover:Why The Body Keeps the Score has been overtaken by newer thinking (the brain keeps the score, the body is the scorecard)Why two people can go through the same experience and only one comes out traumatisedHow trauma creates patterns of movement, holding, and bracing in your bodyA real client example of how a car collision shaped how she held herself in the driver's seatMy own example of holding patterns after my last Crohn's flare and the 2-year process of unwinding themWhether fascia actually "holds" trauma in any meaningful wayWhy emotional release during bodywork is real but isn't quite what people think it isThe role of touch, movement, and diaphragmatic breath in your body's natural processingWhy your lymphatic system needs breath and movement to do its jobHow tears, sweat, and exhaling breath are part of your body's detoxification processWhy we've been culturally trained out of expressing emotion, and how to retrain ourselvesThe "pill for every ill" mentality and why it keeps us stuckYou are not broken. You don't need to be fixed.A few questions I answer:Is trauma actually stored in the body?Can fascia release heal trauma?Is fascia an organ?Why do I cry during massage or fascia work? the difference between trauma and holding patterns?Why is touch so important for healing?Why does diaphragmatic breath matter for the lymphatic system?This is for anyone who's been on the wellness path long enough to feel exhausted by the constant search for the next thing.

What if your worst moments were actually raw material for something extraordinary?In this episode, Kellan sits down with Steve Hardison for a conversation that dismantles everything you think you know about mindset, happiness, and control.From a blown tire in the desert to a life built on intentional love, Steve reveals a radically simple—but deeply confronting—truth:You are not reacting to life… you are creating it.This isn't theory.

What does it really take for a two-person indie team to turn an after-hours idea into a real shipped game?In this episode of Player Driven, Greg sits down with Max Mraz of Moth Atlas to talk about the long road behind Tombwater, a handcrafted horror western action game built over four years while balancing full-time jobs. What started as a small experiment quickly became something much bigger, forcing the team to figure out scope, structure, production, and eventually, what kind of help they actually needed to get the game across the finish line.The conversation digs into the reality behind indie development when you are not a full studio with departments, producers, and extra hands. Max shares how the team stayed organized, how they thought about what belonged in version one, and why building the game was only part of the challenge. The other half was everything around launch: QA, community, support, and the operational work that most people do not think about until it is staring them in the face.They also get into one of the more honest questions indie developers wrestle with: when does self-publishing stop making sense? Max breaks down why working with a publisher mattered for a team like his, what support actually made a difference, and which parts of the process he was most grateful not to have to own himself.If you are an indie developer, a publisher, or just someone who loves hearing how games actually get made, this episode is a great look at the gap between having a cool idea and getting a game into players' hands.In this episode, we cover:How Tombwater went from a small side project to a full commercial releaseWhat it looks like to build a game after work while holding a full-time jobHow a two-person team managed scope, production, and version one decisionsWhat most indie teams underestimate about launching a gameWhy professional QA is very different from casual playtestingHow publishing support helped remove major operational burdensThe value of community support without forcing the developer to run everythingWhat Max would tell other tiny teams trying to build something realAbout TombwaterTombwater is a handcrafted action game that blends Soulslike, Zelda-like, and Metroidvania elements inside an Eldritch Horror Wild West setting. Players explore a cursed town, uncover hidden mysteries, and battle through dangerous enemies, bosses, spells, weapons, and secrets.LinksWishlist / play Tombwater on SteamLearn more about Midwest GamesMore episodes at Player Driven#PlayerDriven #IndieGames #GameDevelopment #IndieDev #SteamGames #GamePublishing #Soulslike #GameDesign

Most people know they need an estate plan. Far fewer actually have one, and even fewer have had the conversations with their families that make that plan meaningful.

This week, we're talking about something every hospitality person knows all too well: pain.Back pain. Neck pain. Shoulder pain. “I've been on my feet for 14 hours” pain. But what if… most of it isn't actually coming from your body?Enter Gemma McFall (Gemma McFall – Pain Reprocessing Therapist)— Chronic Pain Recovery Coach, former hotel HR leader, Disney alum, and the only person whose first hospitality shift involved covering herself in six bowls of soup.A true industry baptism.

What if you could turn your business mindset into a meaningful career helping others? That's exactly what Abigail Meza, founder of Shout It Out Speech Therapy in Chino Hills, California, did when she followed her curiosity and courage — into the world of speech-language pathology.Abigail didn't take the traditional route to becoming an SLP as she got a bachelor's degree in business management and human resources first. But after trying out corporate internships, she quickly realized the 9-to-5 world wasn't for her. When the pandemic hit, Abigail began substitute teaching, which introduced her to IEP meetings and, for the first time, speech therapy. Hearing SLPs collaborating with families and advocating for children sparked something in her and she decided to take a few prerequisite classes “just to see.” She fell in love instantly and soon earned her master's degree in speech-language pathology.Abigail worked in the school system, her dream job at the time. But even while thriving there, she couldn't shake her entrepreneurial drive. With encouragement from her business-minded family and inspiration from a post, she joined the Start Your Private Practice Program in January and began building her business on the side. She started small — just a few pediatric clients between ages 2–9 seeing them in their homes, daycares, and private schools wherein her confidence grew with every session.In this episode, Abigail shares how her business is built on accessibility and empowerment not just for families, but for her colleagues too. Many fellow SLPs and OTs have told her that seeing her take the leap has inspired them to believe they can do it, too. For Abigail, private practice isn't just about extra income — it's about freedom and flexibility. She is intentionally designing her future. While she still enjoys her school-based job, she's setting goals to gradually scale back and grow her private practice into a full-time business.In Today's Episode, We Discuss:Discovered speech therapy and fell in love with itUsed her business background to confidently launch her practiceStarted seeing private clients on the side while thriving in her school jobHow her vision for future family life and flexibility inspired her to build something now that supports the life she wants laterReady to Start Your Own Private Practice?

How does one become a professional cartoonist? In this episode, I talk with New Yorker cartoonist Tom Toro, whose sharp wit clever drawings have kept readers laughing (and thinking) for more than fifteen years.Toro's debut book, And to Think We Started as a Book Club (out now from Simon & Schuster), gathers the best of his cartoons from over a decade and a half at The New Yorker. In our conversation, we dig into the realities of professional cartooning — from the weekly grind of submissions and rejection, to the balance between writing and drawing, and the creative fire that keeps artists like Tom doing it anyway.

Episode Overview In this powerful episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso break down what it truly means to make the leap from Agent to CEO. From Gary Vee's prediction that real empires are being built right now to the uncomfortable truth about lifestyle businesses, they unpack the mindset, strategy, and habits required to not just survive—but thrive—in today's shifting real estate market.

Whether you're just starting out or leading a growing team, this is a no-fluff masterclass on business evolution, discipline, and creating the freedom you're truly chasing.   What You'll Learn in This Episode Agent to CEO Mindset Why success starts with showing up and treating real estate like a job The difference between being interested, committed, and obsessed Why mindset always comes first when scaling Building for Freedom, Not Status The difference between a lifestyle business and a scalable asset Why chasing freedom beats chasing status every time The three critical elements to escape production Systems, AI & Working Yourself Out of a Job How to systematically replace yourself in every role with VAs, AI, and hires Why organic social media is the #1 priority for agents right now How to use AI as a thought partner—not a thought leader The Perfect Day & The Freedom Number The “Perfect Day 2.0” exercise and how it shapes your goals How to calculate your freedom number and reverse-engineer to hit it Why intentionality and discipline are the ultimate competitive advantage Leadership & Vision Why the #1 thing people look for in leaders is hope How to create clarity and inspire people to buy into your vision Why discipline equals freedom in both business and life   Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO 2024 – Sept. 24–25 in Cleveland → Buy Back Your Time by Dan Martell The AI-Driven Leader by Jeff Wood StoryBrand by Donald Miller The Strangest Secret by Earl Nightingale   Final Takeaway Becoming a CEO isn't about working less—it's about working smarter, building systems, and chasing freedom, not status.

Nick Troxel is a lawyer, entrepreneur, and co-founder of Troxel Fitch, LLC, a business-focused law firm in Denver. In this episode, he shares how he went from driving Lyft after law school to building a thriving firm with his law school roommate. If you've ever dreamed of starting your own legal business, or wondered if it's worth the ris, this conversation is for you.LAWYER SIDE HUSTLESNick didn't have a side hustle in the traditional sense—his firm was the hustle. He and his partner built it in real time, taking every contract and client they could, learning by doing, and stretching every dollar. The early months were full of late nights, part-time jobs, and small wins that added up to something bigger. Over time, that side hustle became a full-fledged, thriving firm.“I didn't do this to be super rich or anything. I mean, I want freedom. And that's ultimately what entrepreneurship can give you,” shares Nick Troxel in Episode 76 of You Are a Lawyer.In addition to running his practice, Nick also co-authored How to Be a Lawyer, a book that aims to demystify the transition from law school to practice. His passion for helping new lawyers build sustainable careers has become a core part of his identity. He proves that a non-traditional career doesn't mean a lesser one. It often means a more fulfilling one, especially when it's built with intention and courage.LISTEN TO LEARNWhat it really takes to start a law firm straight out of law schoolWhy lifestyle goals should guide your legal career decisionsHow to build resilience through uncertainty (and global pandemics)WE ALSO DISCUSSEntrepreneurship as a mindset, not just a jobHow to avoid “golden handcuffs” in your careerWhy law students should focus on the life they want—not just the job they think they should takeJoin the FREE mailing list!Get behind-the-scenes content from You Are A Lawyer. 1) Visit www.youarealawyer.com2) Add your email address to the Subscribe pop-up box OR3) Enter your email address on the right side of the screen4) Get emails from me (I won't fill your inbox with junk)!Interact with You Are A LawyerKyla Denanyoh hosts the You Are A Lawyer podcast. Follow the podcast:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@youarealawyerWebsite: https://www.youarealawyer.com

Jonathan Wolf is the co-founder and CEO of ZOE, the science-based nutrition company using data to transform how people eat. In this candid conversation, he joins Alisa to explore what it takes to build a mission-driven company, how to lead with more clarity and transparency, and why the way we eat is more broken and more fixable than most people think.ZOE's origin story is as unconventional as it is inspiring. After scaling Critéo into a billion-dollar business, Jonathan stepped away with no plan and plenty of questions. That wandering period led him to microbiome researcher Tim Spector, and from there, to the bold idea of using AI and big data to personalize nutrition at scale.

Y'all, we're diving deep into a topic that's been grinding my gears lately - the rise of trash employees in the workplace. And I'm not talking about the young'uns this time. Nah, we're shining a spotlight on those seasoned workers who've been in the game since the 90s but still can't get their act together.What's cooking in this episode:The evolution of employee behavior post-pandemicWhy some long-time workers are acting like they were born yesterdayThe danger of hanging onto ancient accolades and outdated mindsetsHow to stop being a crybaby and start taking responsibility for your careerPlus, Nerdy is serving up some truth about:Why playing dumb won't get you anywhere in the corporate worldThe problem with always needing "favors" to do your jobHow to make yourself indispensable instead of disposableWhy your attitude matters more than your years of experience

I'm not going to lie…things seem pretty dire here right now in the United States for the environment, conservation, and wildlife. Because of what the current administration is doing, people are worried and understandably so. Things are quite honestly in chaos right now and there have already been severe consequences for those who work in wildlife.Over the past couple of weeks, my social media feeds have been flooded with images of the thousands of federal workers who have unfairly lost their jobs in the name of government budget cuts. Funding for conservation, research, and protections is and will continue to be slashed, and even whole organizations within our federal government are under threat of being taken away.Although it's not quite clear yet what things are going to hold up legally in court, the results have already impacted people who work in wildlife. Entire livelihoods have been shattered from people losing their critical paychecks doing what they loved while serving and protecting our wildlife, land, and environment.In the previous episode of the Fancy Scientist podcast, I talked about what we can do as individuals to continue to stand up for what we believe in while bridging the gap to others who voted differently than us so that we can reclaim the necessary political power to enact pro-wildlife legislation. But when scrolling through my social media feeds and seeing the faces of those who lost their jobs, I realized people really needed help.One post on Instagram left a particularly strong impact on me. It was a post that offered some hope by someone who secured a wildlife job under the first Trump administration. And what I could see from this post was that it was really needed by people out there. Some said they read the post and left crying because they desperately needed some help and encouragement during these unprecedented times.This post really inspired me. If you are not new to this podcast, you'll know that a huge focus of mine is those in wildlife careers, so if this is you, then you'll definitely want to listen to the whole episode. Here I take the time to address the concerns of those who may have lost their job, are worried about losing their job, or are feeling anxiety about the increasing competition from fewer now being offered in our field.Honestly, no matter where you are in your career, the advice today is going to apply to you.So for those of you who are in wildlife, environmental, or conservation careers and are feeling panicked, maybe wondering, “How do I handle this new administration? How do I handle this new landscape?” This episode is for you!I know you don't want to give up your lifelong dream of having a wildlife career, but the reality is, I know some of you are thinking about it. As I read that Instagram post, I read numerous comments from people saying they felt like they had to give it all up considering what is going on. But you DON'T.In this episode, I give you hope, concrete tips on what you can do if you are in a wildlife profession, how you can navigate this new administration and landscape, and reassure you that there's going to be jobs for you, that you are needed, that your work is important and valuable.Specifically I go over:The illusion of a permanent jobHow the landscape of jobs has and is still changing, and how to handle itThe misconception that you have to work continuously in this field – gaps to take other jobs are okay!How to make things work for you in the long run if it feels like you need to take a pause from wildlife work (either wanted or unwanted)Past experiences and results of wildlife work during administrations unfavorable to wildlife and conservationThinking outside of the box and implementing creative solutions in wildlife workHow to start making yourself competitive as possible so that when the right job is available, you get itAnd more!Dream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist?
