Send us a textIt seems you can lead the horse to water and it will drink!  You need patience! Patience is what is necessary to influence and persuade: taking people's maps into new territories.Matching, pacing, and leading are foundational concepts in NLP, crucial for establishing rapport, understanding another person's model of the world, and guiding them towards desired outcomes. It's an important part of many NLP methods and processes, and can often be the key skill to making those processes effective. It's also a very effective stand-alone tool for enhancing our own communication ability. BUT most people think of the mechanics of MPL, rather than MPL as an art.MPL is a critical and basic skill that communication is based on. No one is going anywhere if you aren't good at matching and pacing.Key Points:·       Matching, Pacing, and Leading work together·       If you lead too quickly or too strongly, you can lose rapport and will need to reestablish it through matching and pacing.·       You can match, pace, and lead someone in a brief interaction or over a series of longer interactions.·       You can apply these concepts with your friends and family, work relationships, sales interactions, consulting work, presentations, coaching, therapy, etc.·       Doing this successfully can reduce resistance to new ideas and perspectives, increase choice, and help us and others get what we want more easily.The podcast also describes an exercise to help strengthen your skills. Support the show

Dan shares insights from their Nashville Executive Briefing Center, where healthcare leaders are uncovering critical gaps in their security programs.

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageThe darkest moments of history often involve impossible choices between terrible options. Such was the case in August 1945, when President Harry Truman authorized the use of atomic weapons to end World War II. In this compelling episode, we examine Richard B. Frank's definitive account "Downfall: The End of the Imperial Japanese Empire" to understand why those bombs, despite their horrific toll, likely saved millions of lives.What makes this historical moment so powerful is the stark mathematics behind the decision. By summer 1945, Japan's strategic situation was hopeless, yet their commitment to fight remained absolute. American intelligence revealed 4 million Japanese troops still under arms, with 900,000 defenders fortifying Kyushu exactly where Americans planned to land. Their "Operation Ketsu-Go" included 540 midget submarines, 3,000 suicide boats, 4,000 underwater frogmen, and waves of kamikazes – all designed to inflict such devastating American casualties that the U.S. would accept a negotiated peace rather than unconditional surrender.The alternatives to atomic weapons were grim. Conventional bombing had already killed 300,000 Japanese civilians and destroyed 66 cities without prompting surrender. A naval blockade would cause millions to starve slowly. The planned invasion, Operation Downfall, projected 500,000 to 4 million American casualties and 5-10 million Japanese deaths. Even after Hiroshima and Nagasaki, which together killed approximately 214,000 people, Japan's War Council remained deadlocked until Emperor Hirohito personally intervened.This episode challenges us to consider how we judge difficult historical decisions without knowing all the facts. As Frank concludes: "American goals were simply not victory but peace... Had American leaders in 1945 been assured that Japan and the United States would pass two generations in tranquility... they would have believed their hard choices had been vindicated, and so should we." Join us as we explore this pivotal moment that reminds us why understanding history's hardest choices matters for our world today.Key Points from the Episode:• After David's father's accident and recovery, the podcast is returning to its previous format• The "patriotic orthodoxy" that emerged after WWII holds that atomic bombs not only caused Japanese surrender but prevented horrific invasion casualties• Critics argue Japan was already defeated and seeking surrender, or that alternatives like a demonstration bombing would have sufficed• American intelligence revealed 4 million Japanese troops under arms, with 900,000 defenders on Kyushu and 12,000 aircraft converted for kamikaze attacks• Japan's "Operation Ketsu-Go" strategy focused on inflicting maximum American casualties to force a negotiated peace• Conventional bombing had already killed 300,000 Japanese civilians and destroyed 66 cities without prompting surrender• Atomic bombs killed approximately 214,000 people by December 1945 – a tragedy, but far fewer than the 5-10 million Japanese casualties projected from invasion• The Japanese Supreme War Council remained deadlocked even after both bombs, requiring Emperor Hirohito's personal intervention• History shows Truman faced only bad options, and chose the one that would end the war with the fewest deathsOther resources: Want to leave a review?

Listen as host Amy Rodquist-Kodet, a healthcoach with UK HR Health and Wellness, tells us how we can use artificial intelligence in mindful ways. Amy says, “AI [is] a tool for well-being, not as a replacement for human connection or a shortcut to avoid discomfort but as a powerful partner to help us stay present and focused and even more aligned with our values.” With this attitude,AI can be leveraged as a partner or collaborator! Thank you for listening; and as always, be well!Key Points:1. Intentional AI Use Supports Well-Being: AI can be a helpfulpartner in emotional and intellectual wellness when used with purpose. It helpsreduce stress and improve focus—not by replacing human connection, but bysupporting it.2. If-Then Planning Builds Resilience: Using “implementationintentions” like “If I feel overwhelmed, then I'll use AI to clarify mynext step” helps shift from stress to action. These simple plans boostfollow-through and reduce mental clutter.3. Tech Should Enhance, Not Replace, Connection: AI canstreamline tasks and communication, but its role is to free up space formeaningful human moments. Clear boundaries and purpose ensures AI use supportsresilience.

In this episode, I'm getting real about a truth that's been rising to the surface for me as I step into my 41st year: your tolerance will always be met by the standard you set. Over the past year and a half, I've been taking a hard look at the relationships, partnerships, and dynamics in my life—both personally and professionally—and realizing where I've been holding on out of comfort, history, or compassion, instead of true alignment. I share how I've been raising my standards, honoring my non-negotiables, and curating an energy that reflects the woman I am today. From spiritual maturity and emotional stability to lifestyle compatibility and respect for timing, I'm learning that when you honor your standards, you don't lose people—you gain the right ones. If you've been feeling drained by certain relationships or dynamics, this conversation will help you see how raising your standard can shift everything. Liked this episode?

FAN MAIL--We would love YOUR feedback--Send us a Text MessageSleep may be the most overlooked factor in America's declining productivity and wellbeing. Drawing from Sarah Mednick's eye-opening book "Take a Nap, Change Your Life," this episode explores how modern life has dramatically altered our relationship with rest and the profound consequences this shift has had on our collective performance.The statistics are startling. Before Edison's lightbulb illuminated our nights, our ancestors routinely enjoyed 10 hours of rest during average weeknights. Today, we struggle to achieve 6.7 hours, creating a nation of chronically exhausted individuals. Over half the workforce reports that sleepiness interferes with their productivity, while one in five adults experiences fatigue that disrupts daily activities multiple times weekly.While we search for complex explanations for America's declining global competitiveness, falling educational performance, and deteriorating health outcomes, we consistently overlook a simple factor: we're exhausted. Once the world's most productive workforce, the United States has slipped behind countries like France and Germany by numerous measures. Our standard of living is declining, our technological edge eroding – and chronic fatigue may be a significant culprit.The solution is refreshingly straightforward: sleep more. Put down your phones, reduce screen time, and prioritize rest. As Mednick notes, if you need caffeine to stay awake, you're not getting enough sleep. By reclaiming our natural sleep patterns and incorporating strategic rest periods, we can reverse the tide of exhaustion undermining our potential both individually and collectively.Ready to transform your productivity and wellbeing? Start tonight by setting aside your devices earlier and giving yourself permission to rest. Your mind, body, and work will thank you tomorrow.Key Points from the Episode:• 51% of workers report that sleepiness interferes with their work performance• One in five adults experiences fatigue that disrupts daily activities multiple times weekly• The United States has fallen behind countries like France and Germany in productivity• Sleep deprivation is an overlooked factor in America's declining competitive edge• Sarah Mednick's book "Take a Nap, Change Your Life" offers a simple solution: sleep more• Needing caffeine to stay awake is a clear sign you're not getting enough sleep• Reducing phone screen time before bed can significantly improve sleep qualityPut down your phones and get more sleep.

In this episode of the Sunlight Tax podcast, I talk about Trump's new tax law, officially called the “One Big Beautiful Tax Bill.” I break down its key points, how it impacts different income groups, the updates to clean energy tax credits, and what it means for self-employed people and freelancers.  I also emphasize why it's so important to understand tax laws, and I encourage you to share this information with anyone who might benefit from it.   Also mentioned in this episode: 00:00 Introduction to the New Tax Bill 04:13 Overview of the Tax Bill's Key Points 11:49 Impacts on Low-Income and Wealthy Households 18:55 Changes to Environmental Credits and Clean Energy 19:50 Implications for Self-Employed and Freelancers   Takeaways The new tax bill is officially called the 'one big beautiful tax bill.' I aim to provide clear, fact-checked information about tax laws. The bill extends provisions from the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017. It is expected to increase the federal deficit by $3 to $4 trillion. The bill primarily benefits households with incomes over $500,000. Medicaid cuts are expected to save $900 billion. The child tax credit has been increased from $2,000 to $2,200. Many environmental tax credits from the Inflation Reduction Act have been eliminated. Self-employed individuals will maintain the qualified business income deduction.   If you enjoyed this episode, please rate, review and share it!

Pastor Heath Lambert tackles the controversial question of women's voting rights from a biblical worldview. In this episode, he addresses whether Christians should believe women should lose the right to vote based on male headship principles. Lambert provides clear biblical reasoning on government, voting rights, and how Christian families can maintain unity and biblical leadership while still allowing women to participate in democracy. This thoughtful analysis separates biblical mandates from cultural preferences and offers practical wisdom for Christian families navigating political participation.Key Timestamps0:13 - Question introduction: Should women be allowed to vote?2:02 - Biblical perspective on voting and government3:16 - Examples of biblical leadership (judges and kings)4:14 - Why voting isn't mandated or forbidden in Scripture5:53 - Reality check: Women's voting rights aren't going away6:31 - Why women should retain voting rights7:48 - Problems with male-only voting in a fallen world8:32 - How Christian families can vote with unity and leadershipKey Points- Voting is Extra-Biblical: The Bible doesn't mandate or forbid voting systems. Biblical examples show righteous government through judges and kings, not democratic processes.- Scripture Silence Means Freedom: Since the Bible doesn't specify voting requirements, Christians have freedom in how voting systems operate.- Male Headship Doesn't Equal Vote Monopoly: Biblical male leadership in the home doesn't logically require removing women's voting rights.- Fallen World Considerations: Single women, widows, and women in ungodly marriages would be left without representation under male-only voting.- Unity Through Leadership, Not Restriction: Christian families can maintain biblical unity and male leadership while still allowing all members to vote.- Practical Family Example: Families can discuss issues biblically, pray together, and reach unified voting decisions without eliminating anyone's right to participate.Scripture ReferencesRomans 13:1-7 - "Let everyone be subject to the governing authorities, for there is no authority except that which God has established. The authorities that exist have been established by God... For the one in authority is God's servant for your good."Biblical Examples of Leadership:Judges 13-16 - Samson's leadership periodJudges 6-8 - Gideon raised up as judge over Israel1 Samuel 8-31 - Establishment and history of Israel's monarchyJudges 2:16 - "Then the Lord raised up judges, who saved them out of the hands of these raiders"Ephesians 5:23 - "For the husband is the head of the wife as Christ is the head of the church"1 Timothy 3:4-5 - Regarding household leadership and church governanceHave a question you'd like answered?

In this episode, Tyler walks through how multi-user accounts work on macOS—why you might use them, how to add a new user, ways to switch quickly (including Touch ID), and how to safely delete an account while preserving data for troubleshooting. He also covers guest access, account types (Administrator, Standard, and Sharing Only), and a few accessibility tips with VoiceOver.Key PointsWhy multi-user: Separate files, settings, and Apple Account sync per person; great for shared Macs or isolating issues by testing in a fresh account.Account types: Administrator can change system settings and install software.Standard has its own files/settings but cannot administer the Mac.Sharing Only can access shared services remotely but cannot log in at the Mac.Guest user: If FileVault is on, Guest can only use Safari; if off, Guest can use apps but all data is wiped on logout.Fast User Switching: Add the menu-bar item via Control Center settings (listed as “Menu Bar” in macOS Tahoe per the recording timeframe), then switch from the status menu.Touch ID switching: Register different fingers per account to jump between users instantly—even from the lock screen.Deleting an account: Three options—(1) save home folder as a disk image under Deleted Users, (2) don't change the home folder, or (3) delete the home folder.Troubleshooting tip: You can preserve your home folder, delete the account, then recreate it with the same account name to merge and reset settings—handy if issues are account-specific.Shared folder caveat: The /Users/Shared folder defaults to read/write for creator and read-only for others; permissions can be finicky, and other sharing methods may be easier.Step-by-Step GuideCreate a New User Open System Settings > Users & Groups, and click Add User…Pick an Account Type (Administrator, Standard, or Sharing Only). Standard is the default.Enter Full Name; Account Name (home folder name) will auto-fill. Set a Password and optional Hint, then click Create User.First Login & Touch ID Log out of your account, select the new user, and sign in.In Setup Assistant, the user can enroll Touch ID with their finger.Enable Fast User Switching (Menu Bar) Go to System Settings > Control Center (labeled “Menu Bar” in future macOS versions relative to the time of recording).Find Fast User Switching and set it to Show (e.g., show Account Name). Then use the status menus to switch users.Switch Between Users Instantly From the menu bar via Fast User Switching, or with Touch ID, a user can press the sensor with the finger registered to their account (works at the lock screen once accounts have been logged into).Share Files Between Accounts (Optional) Use /Users/Shared; creator has read/write, others read-only by default. Adjust permissions via Get Info if needed—but expect some Unix permission quirks.Delete a User Safely In Users & Groups, click the "Show detail" button for an account, click Delete User, and choose what to do with the Home folder.TranscriptDisclaimer: This transcript was generated by…

Luke 12:1–2 “Fear” | Pastor Landon Churchill (August 17, 2025) Description: In this sermon on Luke 12:1–2, Pastor Landon Churchill of Freedom Fellowship (August 17, 2025) teaches about the reality of fear and the call to live with fearless faith in a fearful world. Jesus warns His disciples to beware of the leaven of the Pharisees—hypocrisy—and reminds us that nothing hidden will stay hidden. These verses challenge us to walk honestly before God, not in fear of man. ✨ Key Points from Luke 12:1–2 • Fear is real, but faith is greater. • Hypocrisy spreads like leaven—God calls us to honesty and purity. • What is hidden will be revealed; live openly before God. • The fear of man leads to bondage, but the fear of God leads to freedom.

August 14, 2025: Healthcare has moved from "what if" to "what now" with AI, as health systems quietly implement artificial intelligence across operations from revenue cycle to bedside care. Bill Russell explores how virtual care adoption jumped from 3% to 95% in three months, questioning whether healthcare's barriers are truly technological or cultural. As hospitals face mounting complexity and clinicians struggle with what leaders call a "wealth of data and poverty of insights," AI is addressing everything from scheduling optimization to diagnostic support—often without patients realizing it. The episode examines current implementations like virtual nurses handling administrative tasks and AI-assisted radiology reads, while exploring the provocative prediction that practicing without AI assistance may soon be considered below standard care.  Key Points: [00:02:00] - Pete Clardy [00:03:00] - Michael Pfeffer [00:04:00] - Kristin Myers [00:05:00] - BJ Moore [00:06:00] - Shez Partovi [00:07:00] - Marty Paslick [00:08:00] - Jennifer Owens [00:09:00] - CT Lin [00:09:00] - Dirk Stanley [00:10:00] - Cris Ross [00:11:00] - Zafar Chaudry [00:12:00] - Shakeeb Akhter [00:12:00] - Brad Reimer [00:13:00] - Albert Oriol [00:14:00] - Seth Hain [00:15:00] - Christopher Longhurst, MD, MS [00:16:00] - Taylor Davis X: This Week Health LinkedIn: This Week Health Donate: Alex's Lemonade Stand: Foundation for Childhood Cancer

This powerful question, posed by Ryan Holiday in his bestselling book "The Obstacle Is the Way," frames our exploration of ancient Stoic wisdom and its remarkable relevance to modern challenges.We dive deep into the philosophical foundation that transformed emperors into legends, examining Marcus Aurelius—the Roman emperor who ruled during plague and war yet maintained unwavering wisdom and integrity. His personal journal, "Meditations," continues to inspire millions with its practical guidance on resilience and virtue. As the last of Rome's "Five Good Emperors," Aurelius embodied the Stoic principles that teach us to focus on what we can control while accepting what we cannot.This Mojo Minute unpacks the profound yet simple truth that what stands in our way often becomes the way forward. We distinguish between mere action and "directed action"—the thoughtful, purposeful steps that truly move us toward our goals. "Action is commonplace. Right action is not," Holiday reminds us, highlighting that persistence without deliberation misses the mark. True progress comes from approaching obstacles with courage, creativity, and a clear mind.Whether you're facing personal challenges, professional setbacks, or simply seeking a more resilient mindset, these timeless Stoic principles offer practical wisdom for transforming obstacles into opportunities.

In this special Summer Series Flip episode, I'm so excited to share a conversation I had on the Brilliant Balance podcast with the amazing Cherylanne Skolnicki. We talk all about the journey of becoming—how I moved from chasing external success to aligning with the woman I'm meant to be, and how that shift has transformed the way I live, lead, and support others. I open up about what it means to create clarity (instead of waiting for it), rewrite the stories that keep us stuck, and take radical responsibility for the version of ourselves we're stepping into. We also dive into the evolution of my book Get What You Want, the truth about personal branding, and why I believe you shouldn't build your business based on who you used to be—but from the place of who you're becoming.

August 13, 2025: Eric Utzinger, Co-Founder and Chief Client Officer at Revuud, tackles the world of healthcare consulting. Drawing from 15 years in healthcare consulting, Eric reveals how the industry shifted around 2013, creating a system where traditional staffing firms often add little value beyond letterhead while charging substantial markups. What happens when technology enables direct access to pre-vetted talent pools? The conversation explores how marketplace platforms can eliminate intermediary costs while maintaining quality control, and why the assumption that higher costs equal better consultants may be costing health systems more than they realize. Eric addresses the critical balance between project success, talent vetting, and transparent pricing in an industry where finding the right IT expertise quickly can make or break major implementations.

August 11, 2025: Josh Howell, Healthcare CTO from Rubrik, joins Drex for the news. They examine the spike of healthcare organization breaches in summer 2025, with threat actors now moving from breach to data exfiltration in minutes rather than weeks. Josh reveals research showing ransomware attacks trigger a 20-40% decline in patient volumes within the first week, but what happens when notification costs exceed settlement amounts? They challenge conventional disaster recovery thinking, questioning whether traditional DR measures address the real problem of rebuilding trust through isolated recovery environments. The discussion also tackles a critical industry issue—how can healthcare organizations break through legal barriers to share vital attack and recovery knowledge when every breach response happens in isolation, potentially leaving the entire sector vulnerable?

Or do you wanna take an acorn and plant it deeply in the ground and watch this beautiful oak tree grow?  And so for me, I knew very early on that I wanted to be the oak tree and not the field of wild flowers that could get wiped away at any storm that was gonna come through. I wanted to, you know, have that mighty foundation and that root system to help me sustain.” - Julie Solomon  “ I don't need to have more lead funnels and pay for more leads and bring more people to it. I just need to convert who's showing up better.  And again, you talk about this whole idea of less being more, and I think that is so freeing for any creator online because we get in this mindset of more is more and more is better, but the reality is less of the right thing gives you a better result. ”- Alex Sanfilippo GUEST RESOURCES: You can listen to more of Alex on Podcasting Made Simple RESOURCES: [JOIN MY VISIBILITY TRAINING] With just 1 hour a week, my proven content framework will help you refine your messaging and turn your offers into consistent, scalable sales.
