Judith Joseph: High Functioning Judith Joseph is a Columbia-trained psychiatrist and the founder of and chief investigator at Manhattan Behavioral Medicine, New York City's premier clinical research site. She's also a clinical assistant professor in child and adolescent psychiatry at NYU Langone Medical Center in Manhattan, and chairwoman of the Women in Medicine Board at Columbia University's Vagelos College of Physicians and Surgeons. She is the author of High Functioning: Overcome Your Hidden Depression and Reclaim Your Joy*. When we think about successful leaders, we often admire those who are loving towards others, can tolerate painful times, and know how to delay gratification. Those are all such important traits – and when we overindex on them, can become counter-productive. In this conversation, (Judith and I explore) when it's no longer working and how to find the joy again. Key Points Many people who are experiencing high-functioning depression don't realize it. High-functioning depression is often triggering by trauma. That can can be major trauma, but it can also be more common forms of trauma like divorce, workplace conflict, legal issues, and many more. Anhedonia is one of the most common ways high-functioning depression reveals itself. It looks like not seeking out joyful activities and also not experiencing joy in activities that used to bring joy. Masochism is the other common way high-functioning depression shows up. It manifests as a pattern of self-defeating, people-pleasing behavior. The “superpowers” that come with high-functioning depression are viewed by others and society as strengths. However, over-indexing on being loving, tolerating pain, and delayed gratification are counter-productive over time. Validation is a starting point for healing. Each person is unique and sometimes it's helpful to begin with movies or other creative works that help you recognize yourself.

Is traditional schooling the only path to success? In this eye-opening episode, Justin and Kylie challenge the conventional approach to education, sharing their journey through homeschooling and industry-based schooling with their daughter, Lily. They discuss why so many kids feel disconnected from mainstream education, the power of hands-on learning, and how alternative schooling models are helping students find passion, purpose, and career opportunities. If you’ve ever worried about whether the standard school system is serving your child, this episode is a must-listen! KEY POINTS: Many kids feel disconnected from traditional schooling because it lacks real-world application. Industry schools combine formal education with hands-on experience, giving kids exposure to different careers. Parents often fear that alternative education means failure, but in reality, it can lead to greater success and fulfillment. The stigma of leaving mainstream school is often more about parental concerns than what’s best for the child. Exposure is key—kids don’t always know what they want to do until they experience different career options. There are so many flexible schooling alternatives—vocational training, homeschooling, apprenticeships, online learning, and more. Insights from a school principal: The biggest hurdle in education reform is often parents’ reluctance to try something different. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE: "We’re using medieval institutions to train our children to live in an era where we have god-like technology. They don’t match up—they simply don’t." RESOURCES MENTIONED: Dark Horse by Todd Rose Industry schools, vocational training programs, apprenticeships, and alternative schooling options. The Happy Families website ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS: If your child is struggling with school, research alternative education options in your area. Have an open conversation with your child about what excites them and what frustrates them about their education. Challenge the fear of failure. Understand that leaving traditional school doesn’t mean giving up on success—it might be the key to unlocking it. Connect with other parents who have explored homeschooling, vocational programs, or industry schools for insight and support. Encourage your child to explore different careers through internships, apprenticeships, or hands-on learning experiences. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

He led as a history-making first Millennial and Black executive to serve as General Counsel of UPS Airlines, the world's largest logistics airline with over 20,000 employees. His team was essential to the success of Operation Warp Speed, the United States' pandemic vaccine relief effort. He's the author of The Ethical Imperative: Leading with Conscience to Shape the Future of Business*. We all know the power of relationships to help us grow. However, we don't always seek out some of the non-traditional relationships that might help most. In this conversation, Andrew and I discuss three types of people we often overlook that will help us grow. Key Points Many of us invest in organic, traditional relationships. Those are important, but not sufficient in such a dynamic world. Invest 30% of your time into relationships that will add skills, knowledge, or insights you can't develop yourself. Shifters observe well, read between the lines, and help us adapt in uncertain and changing situations. Connectors will help your expand professional affiliations. Having a connector in your corner can be as helpful as being a connector yourself. People who first appear as sharks may be benevolent antagonists.

Matt Abrahams: Think Faster, Talk Smarter Matt Abrahams is an educator, author, podcast host, and coach. He is a lecturer in Organizational Behavior at Stanford University's Graduate School of Business and a keynote speaker and communication consultant for Fortune 100 companies. He is the host of the popular podcast Think Fast, Talk Smart and the author of Think Faster, Talk Smarter: How to Speak Successfully When You're Put on the Spot*. One of the most common places leaders get put on the spot is when facilitating a question and answer session. In this episode, Matt and I discuss the mindset, preparation, and steps that will help you answer questions with confidence and increase credibility with your audience. Key Points Many presenters think about a Q&A session like playing dodgeball. It's more helpful to frame it as dialogue. Answering questions well allows you to project authenticity, expand on key points, and resolve objections. Use the ADD framework to respond to a question. A: answer the question, D: detail an example, and D: describe the value. If helpful, adjust the order. Set boundaries for the kinds of questions you'll answer and the timeframe for them. The audience expects you to lead the conversation. Ask yourself a question if nobody else asks one first. This might start with, “A question I'm commonly asked…” End with an exclamation point. Sticking the landing provides you confidence and shows credibility to your audience.

In this episode, I discuss the differences that set autism apart from high sensitivity, particularly in women. I highlight the outdated diagnostic criteria for autism and the misdiagnosis or lack of diagnosis in many women. We'll explore the unique characteristics of autistic women, such as the challenges of masking, the need for solitude, and the intense sensitivity across multiple senses. I also emphasize the importance of self-compassion and acceptance for autistic individuals and the need for a neurodiverse society.

We do things differently! Key Points: Many individuals who identify as highly sensitive may actually be autistic, prompting updates to sensitivity quizzes. Autistic women face hidden challenges. Many of us have feelings of being different and flawed. Autistic women require solitude to reduce overstimulation and restore energy. We tend to experience heightened sensitivity across multiple senses, which can be intense. We prefer communicating honestly and directly, valuing clarity. Accepting an autism diagnosis can lead to reframing experiences and self-compassion. Social gatherings, sudden changes, and small talk can be challenging. Repetitive movements serve as a way to soothe and focus, with fidget tools aiding in this. Written communication may be preferred and eye contact can feel intense and overwhelming. Managing emotions, especially when fatigued, is challenging. We experience high empathy. Building a neurodiverse society that celebrates differences is vital for our well-being.

Ever feel that pang of guilt when you finally score a kid-free getaway with girlfriends? How about when you go away to a conference and that means missing your son's trumpet solo? Big confession. I recently went to a conference and missed my kid's solo. Yep, I felt mom guilt especially while I watched the livestream, but as a mom of three, I knew I was doing my best and that this conference (ironically the Mom 2.0 conference) was a big deal for my book and business. And (further justifications) it wasn't an on-stage solo in front of an audience...it was a Saturday morning classroom solo in front of a teacher. All of this to say, yes, mom guilt still continues to pop up for me when I pick career over family (and it doesn't even happen a lot!), and yet it's a constant juggle. So imagine this: what if you had a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to live in another country without your family to explore your childhood career dreams? Sounds impossible? Would that make you feel guilty? This episode tackles the monster called "mom guilt." Enter Alicia Fernandez Miranda, a super-achiever mom of twins who decided to hit pause on her high-powered CEO career at 40. We delve into her story and ask the lingering questions: Does mom guilt ever truly fade? Is self-care a selfish act, or a necessity? Most importantly, can our actions teach our kids valuable life lessons that words simply can't? Tune in to episode 225 for an honest conversation that will empower you to embrace motherhood on your own terms. Let's connect on Instagram! https://www.instagram.com/melissallarena/ In This Episode You Will Uncover: -How to navigate the guilt of pursuing your own passions as a mom, especially if it means taking time away from your family. -The importance of role modeling and showing your children how to live a fulfilling life, even if it means taking risks. -Why it's better to try something and fail than to never try anything at all. This Episode is Perfect For You If: -You're a mom who feels stuck in a rut and longs to pursue your own interests. -You're wondering if it's possible to chase your dreams while still being a good parent. -You're looking for inspiration to break free from self-doubt and create a life you love. Key Points: -Many moms struggle to find inspiration for pursuing their own dreams because the media often portrays women who achieve success without children. -The guilt of leaving your family can be a major obstacle, but sometimes the risk of not following your dreams is greater. -By taking action and showing your children how to live a fulfilling life, you can inspire them to do the same. -It's okay to fail, and in fact, it can be a valuable learning experience. Taking time for yourself can ultimately make you a better parent.

TRANSCRIPT Alicia Fernandez Miranda. I am excited to have you on the podcast, and I feel like you need to like stamp my passport. Where are we going? Where are you located? Let's chat. Let's chat. Thank you so much, Melissa, for having me. I am in Edinburgh, Scotland right now. Behind me, it's like hurricane force winds blowing outside, which is sort of typical, typical Wednesday for January in Scotland. Yeah, kind of, sort of like, uh, Canada, actually,  so it's, it's interesting, but Alicia, I am so excited to have you here. When I saw your profile, cause I know you're going to be attending probably like mom 2. 0, right? Yes, I'm going to be there this year. I was like, wait, whoa, whoa, whoa. There's like this like twinsie of me somewhere in, in Europe. So that's a good thing. Cause I want to eventually land there. But when I saw that you wrote the book, my what if year, I was just like, Holy mother of guacamole. This is so cool. Like, this is like really, really cool. So why don't you share with listeners just a little bit about my what if year, and then we'll go into maybe like what has stopped a lot of moms from pursuing their own what if years. Totally. So  I guess the story really kind of started for me in 2019. I was living in London. I had done the expat thing. I grew up in Miami  and moved to London in 2008. I was the mom of my twins who were eight years old at the time. I was CEO of a business I had founded with my husband and we were kind of consulting to the biggest foundations and wealthy people, companies, nonprofits, all on social impact and philanthropy and how to give away money a bit better, which was an interesting job. And I sort of, I had done. All of the things that I had said I was going to do in my life. I had my list. I had checked everything off my list and I found myself approaching 40 and thinking, oh my God, is this really where I want to be? Then of course, feeling horribly guilty about. Thinking, is this really where I want to be? Which we can definitely talk about. Cause I think a lot of moms can relate to that.  And I just sort of had this moment where I was like, what, what, what were all the things that I didn't do that I had maybe always wanted to do? And is it really too late to try them? Or could I do this crazy thing, which is to take a year and through a series of little small. Sabbaticals, I was calling them, could I go try out all the jobs I wanted to do when I was a kid and never got a chance to do the things that I really loved, like working on a musical or working in the art industry. And so that was my what if year. It was an attempt to explore these paths that I never got to explore and to do internships at the jobs I had always dreamed of doing. So all of that sounds like so theoretically amazing. It's like, I want to just the, the abort mission, but, and I guess you could say on life and I just want to go and be in Cirque du Soleil. That's what I wanted to do. Actually. I have that in my own book, fertile imagination. I didn't do it just let's just to be clear. You haven't done it yet. That's true. I am working on mobility, so you never know what's up for me. But that was like my thing, right? I was like, Oh, how cool would it be Cirque du Soleil?  And, and I have other, I have a list of other things too, but there was, there was nothing, I never saw any woman, certainly any mom, Nor any Latina do something where she was away from her kids for such a long time during a time when they still needed her,  right? And 40, my goodness. So 40 years old, like how far could someone go 40? I'm just curious from your own perspective, like what sort of things were like, okay. Within the realm of possibilities for a mom versus what you did. I mean, it's such a good question because the guilt was real and the  feeling that my primary responsibility was always to my family, no matter what, even if that meant putting myself further down the list. It was just, I had just accepted that. I had accepted that that was the case. Without really stopping to think, what are the implications on my family? If I am a person who is not happy with my life and not feeling complete in myself or full in myself. So, I mean, of course, who are the people that had done this kind of like, They press the abort button on their life, right? Okay, you have like Elizabeth Gilbert who wrote Eat Pray Love, not Latina. Didn't have kids, I don't think either.  But she went, she took a year. She went to eat pasta in Italy and to India. And then she went to Bali and fell in love with a hot surfer. And that was the end of that book. But that was not a possibility for me. Neither was the Cheryl Strayed Wild. Also not Latina. Also no children. Because there was no way I was going to sleep in a tent for like a year at a time. But again, she left to deal with her grief. And she walked the Pacific Coast, the Pacific Crest Trail. And this idea of literally blowing up my whole life, that was off the table for me. Because I love my children. I love my husband. And I was so conscious that whatever I did was going to be  at best inconvenient for them. And at worst, a really big deal. for their day to day lives, if I was going to leave and go try these things. And so I was very, very conscious of that. It wasn't like I was just like, Meh, screw you all, like I'm going off to Italy to eat all the pasta. So when I started thinking about what this experience was going to be for me, I had a plan. I had, Months of planning, of fitting everything in, of figuring out who was going to pick up my kids from dance and soccer on the different days when my husband had to work, of organizing everything, of figuring out how to do my internships at the same time as their vacations from school, so they could come with me and join me. This was like a beautiful color coded plan because I wasn't willing. To really throw their happiness out. I could never, I could never have done that to them and I couldn't have enjoyed myself if I knew that that was the case. Now, of course, I say all of this and then I'll tell you my first internship started on February 29th, 2020. So all of my careful plans went completely out the window as soon as the pandemic hit, but definitely.  I was very, I was putting myself first, but only to a certain extent. I was very conscious that I didn't want my kids and my husband to be collateral damage somehow to my desire to go and chase these opportunities.   And it's so interesting because it's, it's true. Like, it's like, who is it that you look towards as inspiration for what's possible in your life? And me too, for, for some odd reason, I don't know if it's just like a quirk, but like, I look at these like billionaires that have no children whatsoever that are men as like, Oh, why can't I be like Tom Bilyeu?   And it's like, Hello, you have three kids, two of whom are identical twins who are 10 years old. You live in Austin and there's just no way for you to create a fitness bar or a protein bar without high fructose corn syrup without breaking some nails, right? Cause the machinery that Tom  broke and used, I wouldn't do.   So it's, it's just a weird, it's super weird, right? Like what a, what an interesting thing to kind of compare yourself. Those articles that are like advice from successful CEOs. And one of the things that, and they're almost always men. And one of the things that they'll say is get up an hour early, get up at 5 AM to start working and start your day and exercise and clear your head.   And I'm like, if I'm getting up early, I'm making breakfast for people. I'm feeding the dog. The kids are getting ready for school. So that's, that's not possible in my life. I think you can be a successful CEO, by the way. And still have all those responsibilities, but that model, that inspiration, it's, it's not really meant, I think, for people like us, at least it hasn't been historically.   Yeah, which is why we have to kind of carve our own path. So as a mom with two kids who were eight years old, who started this adventure right when the pandemic hit ultimately. And at that, you started with. theater as your first internship, which I think listeners can now appreciate had a big hiatus, right?   During that time,  how did you sort of navigate the mom guilt? And then also just like the regular guilt, because this was a very unique timeframe. And I'm saying that 1000 times unique once in a lifetime  timeframe. Right. As far as being away from family when there was a lot of uncertainty and fear. So why don't you share a couple of stories about that?   I felt,  I felt, I felt so guilty at every point. I mean, I felt guilty for even thinking that I maybe wanted to. A life that looked different because I had been brought up to always be grateful and appreciative of what you have and what you have been given. My dad was a Cuban immigrant. I grew up in a family where that story of we left everything to come here and give you a better life.   And you need to work hard to get to the point where you don't ever have to do that and be appreciative and grateful for everything we've done and what you have. That was my. like cornerstone mythology of my entire childhood. So I felt guilty even for, for thinking.  This thought that I was unhappy, that was like something that I shouldn't be, I shouldn't be thinking that.   That's just being ungrateful for everything I have. And so I felt guilty even from the inception. I felt guilty about doing something that was about putting my needs, even for a short period of time ahead of my family, even though I did not abandon them completely.  I felt guilty about all of those things.   And I like to joke always that my dad is Cuban and grew up Catholic. My mom is Jewish. And so I have the most guilt. I have Catholic guilt and Jewish guilt. It's like all the guilt forever.  But at the same time, I could recognize, finally, after a lot of thinking and soul searching, that I was not in a good place in myself.   I was not happy. I was not being the best mom I could be, or the best wife I could be, or the best me that I could be. Because I felt like I was treading water in my own life, and I was living a life that I had signed up for, but wasn't right for me anymore. And so, really, I got to the point where it felt like the risk of not doing something was greater than the risk of doing something.   And this worry that I was always going to feel this way, or maybe even worse, became so great that I just knew, I That it was going to be worth the kind of short term inconvenience for my family as it, as it was going to be worth it to have this experience. Now, right before I left, like the night before I left, my husband and I were sitting on the sofa, and at the time, You're thinking back like late February 2020, China had already been in lockdown for a month.   Italy had gone into lockdown. Iran was, I think, in some sort of lockdown. But there was still, people were still saying like, oh, it's going to be contained to these three countries. This is not going to spread. It's going to be very small. The idea that the pandemic would have happened on such a scale was so far from our heads.   But I did have a conversation with my husband and I said, do you not want me to go? Do you want me to stay behind?  And then I held my breath. Because I was so worried he was going to say, yeah, I think you should stay, which I was going to be devastated if that was the case. Theater was like my dream, the dream of the all the dreams.   It was the dream to be able to be part of a production. And I had these incredible opportunities to be part of two shows about to open on Broadway and off Broadway. And so I went and then. The whole time I was there, I kind of had my fingers in my ears until the very end. Things were getting worse.  My husband was definitely freaking out.   And I was like, nothing's happening.  Everything's fine. This is all going to blow over. It's not going to be a big deal. And it wasn't until things got really bad. That I decided to leave. And then the following day, before I got on my plane, they announced that all the Broadway theaters were closing for what was initially going to be a period of, I think, four weeks.   And then of course ended up being, I want to say 21 months altogether before everything got back to normal. normal.  But yeah, I mean, I was a little bit in denial and I, I, the thing is I felt guilty anyway. I felt guilty, but I did it anyway. Right? Like that's how I navigated the guilt. I never stopped feeling guilty.   I just knew that it was important. And so I was able to push the guilt to the side. and do what I knew I needed to do.  Yeah, and,   and I was wondering about that. So like, kind of like exposure therapy, like, do you feel that it got a little bit easier the first time you're like, Oh, okay, everybody survived.   And then the next time and the next time. So do you feel like it got easier during that time?   I don't know. I don't know that it's gotten easier. The first time I went on a work trip after the twins were born, they were about  not quite 18 months old, I think. And I had a new job that I had started and I went to China and my husband was in, we were in London at the time with the kids and I flew for a kajillion hours to get there.   I got there like in the middle of the night and I pick up the phone to call home and it's like a disaster zone at home. Like, They've already been to the, the emergency doctor with my daughter who has like a horrible cough and her nose is blocked and she can't breathe the, and now Carlos is starting to feel sick and I was so upset and like, I have to get on, I have to get on a plane home.   I have to go home right away. And of course I couldn't do that. I had other responsibilities. He was like, look, it's going to be fine. You don't need to come home. You're not going to get home in time anyway. Continue with this trip. So I've always had that fear that something has gone wrong. And sometimes stuff has.   I went to Paris once on a girl's trip with my daughter and my son broke his arm. And thank God he didn't need surgery, but he was in the emergency room with my husband for several, I mean, like stuff has gone wrong. Even in the book, as soon as I get to New York on my internship, my kids have terrible food poisoning and they have thrown up all over the house.   They're all three in bed together, my husband and the twins and. He eventually they had to get that room professionally cleaned before I got home because it was so it was so disgusting. Okay, so stuff goes wrong. It does go wrong. It still goes wrong, and I don't know that it gets easier because my kids are 12 now, and for whatever reason, it feels like they miss me more sometimes when I go away.   Now, I don't know if it's that they're better able to articulate how they're feeling than they were when they were little or what. So it's it's.  I know that things are going to be okay. That has changed. I know the more times I do it, that everybody will survive. But I'm not sure it really gets easier. The thing that is easier is that I've seen The positive impact of taking these moments for myself, whether it's a work trip that I need to do, or just going to spend a weekend with my girlfriends because I haven't seen them in a long time, or sometimes meeting my parents somewhere that I wasn't able to do.   I mean, they're so rejuvenating. They helped me reset. They helped me come back into my life and myself, uh, feeling better and doing better all around. And I think that's, what's gotten easier because I know that it's worth it. Yeah.  So even if I still feel guilty about leaving them and I still worry about what's going to go wrong, I know now that I've done it so many times for really fantastic experiences that I would do it again.   And I think anyone that's listening, that's inspired by this, I think you don't have to necessarily. Go away for an entire year. We could do this like baby steps. What I mean? It's like you nurse your kid or you bottle feed your kid and then you introduce solid slowly. So it's kind of the same idea for us.   I know in my case, in my book, Fertile Imagination, like I decided to actually take storytelling classes at Magnet Theater in Midtown in Koreatown. Love it. Yeah. And it was nine Sundays and I was coming from Connecticut. I like to call it fancy town, Connecticut, and it was a schlep, right? And so the whole idea is I know that on Sunday, technically, if I followed a certain script, like I was supposed to be at home, I don't even know, either washing the walls or like being at a soccer field or like something, right?   Making pancakes for somebody, for sure.   Right, in the shape of their desired animal farm person, right? Or whatever. I'm thinking dinosaurs and I'm just saying animal farm. I'm like, I'm a city girl. I can't help it. So yeah. And it's kind of like just doing that, like on weekends, for goodness sakes, it's not saying I'm out an entire year, but you could work your way up.   If you start noticing that, wait a minute, when I got back home and I saw my kids, I was happier.  I had stories to tell, what I mean? So there, there are benefits and it's not all one sided, but it takes courage because then, yeah, maybe, maybe you are not the mom who's doing the things with the other moms and you might feel a little bit like an outsider, but again, was it worth it?   And what I'm hearing from you, Alicia, is that it was worth it to actually take action in your life that might go against what. Other individuals may have done before with children that are Latina. And so I'm curious in terms of really what your, my, what if your experience showed your kids, like, why do you, what do you think is the difference?   Right? Cause we could tell our kids like, Hey, when you turn 40. I mean, granted it's very far ahead, but like 40, that's so old. I know. Right. So, okay, fine. So, Hey, when you go to college, you could do a gap year, for example. Right. Like that's something that I've heard people say, and, and that's one thing, right, you're saying it to them, but what if you actually like did it yourself?   And so for you, Alicia, like, I know they're still young, they're 12, but what do you think is the difference between showing versus telling? A. K. also how to write a good   book.  I mean, I think, okay. So I remember like when my kids were, when they were babies, I was like, I'm never going to let them eat like junk food because I grew up only eating junk food, but if I eat junk food, my kids, turns out they also like some junk food.   Now we don't eat a lot of junk food, but. There's only a certain point that you can tell your kids, wouldn't you rather have this carrot stick than a pack of McDonald's French fries. If you're sitting there eating the McDonald's French fries, they're going to realize that maybe you're not being completely true and authentic to yourself.   So I do think that kids receive information so much better. From modeling and from you showing them how to do it. And the thing is that my kids went on this journey with me. They were, I was away for different parts of it, but even the times that I wasn't with them, we were talking on the phone every day and then I would come home and talk to them about what I was doing.   And subsequently they got to come on my book tour. They've heard, heard me talk about this book more than I'm sure they'd ever liked to in the world, but they. watched me decide to do something different. They watched me try my hand at these varied jobs, many of which I was very bad at, like very, very bad at.   And they watched me fail, and they watched me dust myself off and stand back up and go back the next day and do the thing.  To me, that is the most important lesson that I hope they have taken from this and that I try to instill on them is that  it is better to try something and fail at it than to not try anything at all.   That you are not going to be good at everything and that's okay. And that the most important thing in your life is not necessarily picking the job, doing it perfectly and sticking with it on that path, no matter what happens, then no matter how you feel and that they know that when they're adults and hopefully have families of their own, that they are important people, both my son and my daughter and their needs also matter.   And I just was in the U S last week. Doing a bunch of different work things and some fun book stuff and my son and I had, I had, I did a talk at the IFC, the International Finance Corporation for my what if year, it was amazing. And the day before my son was like, why can't you just tell them you're sick and cancel and come home early because I want you to come home so you can come and see my hockey match.   And I was like, okay, so not only would that be. Completely setting aside my responsibilities, but also I want to be here. This is important to me. I want to be able to share this experience with people. This is why I did it. Why I wrote the book. Not why I did the internships, but why I wrote the book. And so, no, I'm not going to tell them I'm sick and come home early because this is important to me.   And making sure that they are seeing me choose myself sometimes, I am hoping is going to give them that Permission or awareness that when they get to a point in their lives, when they are caring for other people, too, that they know they also can choose themselves sometimes. And that's okay.   Yeah, I love it.   I think, I think what you said as far as like the, they saw you maybe like,  Either fail or, or have errors and stuff, but then like, decide to like, get back up again, like watching you do that. I don't think it, I don't think it could be replaced with words. I mean, that's like resilience in action. That's resilience while mommy ing.   Yeah, resilience while mommy ing, I love it.   Yeah. Yeah. And, and it's just like, it's beautiful. And, and I witnessed it with my own mom because she has a mental illness. And so every time she'd get into an episode, she had to like dust herself off in, in very dramatic ways. But then it gives you a sense as a kid, it's like, huh, I'm related to that.   Maybe I got a little bit of that in me too. Right.   100%. There's beauty. That's how I, I think, I think that  a large part of the reason I have  such resilience, and I do feel like I'm a very resilient person, so far so good, is because I came from a family that I, I grew up hearing all of the stories of my grandmother, my dad, and his siblings, and my, my grandfather, and how they, how they, you know, Left everything behind.   They left Cuba with a suitcase each and nothing else and moved to a country where they didn't speak the language and they had to just pick themselves up and they had, they had no other choice but to do that. And that, knowing that that's part of me, that's inside of me somewhere,  has always made me feel A lot more capable of dealing with challenge, I think, because I know there's got to be something in there that came from them that is propelling me forward.   And I know that I have that, and I want my kids to know that's part of who you are. You come from a long line of people who have failed at things and had to move forward, and that is, I think, the best gift that I could give them, if that's a realization that they take from this whole thing. Definitely. I love it.   Alicia, where can people continue to follow your story and purchase the My What   If Year book?  Well, you can get my book anywhere that you get books. You can get it at a bookstore. You can get it online at bookshop. org or Amazon if you want. You can listen to me on audiobook if you enjoy this. It's me reading it, so it's basically just like nine hours of this or however long the book goes for.   And you can find me on my website, which is aliciafmiranda. com or my Instagram at aliciafmiranda. And that's A L I S H A I'm named after a shoe store. It's not because that name has anything to do with anything else.   I love it. Fun facts. Appreciate it so much, Alicia. Have an awesome Scottish day.   Yeah, well, let's see if I can survive the wind and rain.   Thank you so much for having me. Oh, thank you.   You're awesome.  That was great.   Here are the three things that really stood out for me in terms of this conversation. The first one is, it's true. I have seen a lot of non Latina moms who decide to actually go and live in Europe or press abort mission on their lives, like that we see in the media.   But there's not too many Latina moms who have been portrayed, not even in Hollywood, as making this idea okay to choose yourself every once in a while and not have to struggle with so much mom guilt and let it hold you back. Second point is there is this point where if you really think about it, When you weigh the risk of doing something for yourself versus not doing something for yourself, there's that, that point where the risk of not doing it might outweigh the risk of doing it and the inconvenience of doing it.   When I lived in Australia with my family, when we all went abroad, it was highly inconvenient to sell every single article of furniture that I had. It was highly inconvenient to find brand new schools, but The risk of not doing it would have meant that my kids would have never been exposed to a completely different culture or side of the world.   And for that, I'm grateful. Here's the third point. In terms of, you know, does it get easier, right, with mom guilt. So Alicia said it best in that it might not get easier, but you do appreciate the fact that things will be okay.  Having more. evidence that things will be okay if you choose yourself and you're away from your kids just builds your confidence and gives you this sense that, okay, I might be feeling this emotion of mom guilt.   However, as in the past, things have been okay. So I hope you enjoyed this conversation. And I want to hear from you. Like, do you suffer from mom guilt? Is it particularly hard or when it's unrelated to doing something that you have to do, like building your business? Like, what if you wanted to all of a sudden take tennis lessons?   Like, is that the point where thickly? Let me know on Instagram at Melissa Llarena. I would love to hear from you.

This episode of the Dethroning Your Inner Critic podcast focuses on the importance of finding joy in the present moment and how many people are unknowingly blocking themselves from experiencing it. Joanna Kleinman, the host, discusses the negative impacts of living on autopilot and being driven by future goals and societal expectations. She emphasizes the power of small, intentional moments of joy in shaping our present and future experiences. Key Points: Many people feel a general apathy and dissatisfaction despite achieving external success. We block joy by focusing on the future and chasing external validation. Our thoughts, beliefs, and emotions create our energetic frequency and impact our reality. Finding small moments of joy daily can rewire our brains and attract more joy. Our automatic mind is often stuck in negativity and needs conscious observation. Processing past traumas and core wounds is crucial for lasting change. Shifting our focus to present joy creates a ripple effect of positivity in our lives. Joy is contagious and spreads to those around us.   Reflection Questions: When was the last time you truly felt joy in the present moment, and what was it like? Do you find yourself focusing on the future or the past more than the present? What are the consequences of this? Are there any areas of your life where you are blocking joy due to negative thoughts or beliefs?   Are you ready to find out which Inner Critic Is Ruling Your Mind?

Frances Frei: Move Fast & Fix Things Frances Frei is a professor at Harvard Business School. Her research investigates how leaders create the context for organizations and individuals to thrive by designing for excellence in strategy, operations, and culture. She regularly works with companies embarking on large-scale change and organizational transformation, including embracing diversity and inclusion as a lever for improved performance. In 2017, Frances served as Uber's first senior vice president of leadership and strategy to help the company navigate its very public crisis in leadership and culture. Her partner Anne Morriss and her are the authors of Uncommon Service and The Unapologetic Leader's Guide to Empowering Everyone Around You. They are also hosts of Fixable, a leadership advice podcast from the TED Audio Collective, and they are recognized by Thinkers50 as among the world's most influential business thinkers. Their newest book is Move Fast & Fix Things: The Trusted Leader's Guide to Solving Hard Problems*. A lot of us assume that going fast is reckless. There are certainly times when that's the case, but it's also true that leaders going too slow at the wrong time can make things worse. In this conversation, Frances and I discuss how to do a better job of moving quickly when it's time to address the toughest problems. Key Points Many of us believe that going fast is reckless and going slow is righteous. While there are times that is true, there are many examples where it's not. The fastest way to speed up your company is to empower more people to make more decisions. Dare to be bad at something. Deciding what not to address allows you to go faster at what you're best at. Two key elements of completing work are work-in-progress and cycle time. Most leaders address cycle time first and miss the more substantial work-in-progress opportunities. Create a way to fast-track projects that become important and build this into the culture of the organization.

Healthcare providers, traditionally among the most trusted institutions in society, are facing unprecedented scrutiny from regulators, the media, the marketplace and the people they serve. But despite the narrative, this high-pressure moment says more about the state of the industry writ large than than any specific player – particularly providers of care. In this week's High Stakes Podcast, industry veterans David Jarrard and Teresa Hicks discuss the ripples that led to this watershed moment, as well as smart ways that healthcare leaders can navigate the choppy waters of high-visibility issues. Key Points: Many of the issues in question are nothing new. There have always been unbalanced expectations of what it takes for providers to deliver world-class care that solves the health problems of their communities while remaining financially viable in a competitive market. The high scrutiny of this moment has more to do with external factors that exacerbate these challenges, such as high inflation, the increasing political divide and viral media stories of bad experiences in medical settings. The industry's continued transformation is levying new expectations on providers. From the simultaneous rise in healthcare costs and bipartisan efforts to lower them, to the introduction of new technologies, to the progression of value-based care, the complex changes reshaping healthcare are reframing what it means to be a provider. Their work now extends beyond just medical services to encompass education, transportation, housing, nutrition and more.  Scrutiny gets even more complex when there are many voices at the table. Even as they navigate the same issues, hospital stakeholders can have vastly different strategies for solving them. Medical professionals and board members, for example, often have contrapuntal priorities. This can lead to infighting and frustration that does nothing to improve care. Crystal clear communication, as always, remains key. Healthcare, from any vantage point, is complex. When addressing issues, healthcare leaders should tailor their points to audiences in a way that leaves no room for misinterpretation. Remaining decisive, sympathetic and smartly transparent is critical in every public-facing statement.   Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Episode Summary: After a three-month hiatus, Nathan is back with another episode of the Unplugged Freedom Podcast. In this episode, he addresses a common question that many women have: "Where are all the good guys?" Nathan shares his perspective on this issue and highlights that often, it's not about the lack of good guys but rather how they are treated in relationships. He questions why men would invest time, energy, and emotion into relationships when they're often treated poorly or left feeling used. He explores how this treatment can lead to negative behaviors and attitudes among men, including manipulation. Key Points: Many women express frustration about not finding good guys and often encounter men that they perceive as disrespectful or not up to their standards. NathaKey Points: Many women express frustration about not finding good guys and often encounter men that they perceive as disrespectful or not up to their standards. Nathan emphasizes that his perspective is from a man's point of view and acknowledges that he may not be aware of the challenges women face in dating. He suggests that some women unknowingly contribute to the problem by not treating men fairly in relationships. This treatment can lead to men becoming disheartened and jaded, which may affect their behavior in future relationships. Nathan discusses the potential harm caused by ghosting or abruptly ending relationships without explanation. This behavior can leave men feeling confused, hurt, and less likely to invest time and emotional energy into future relationships. He concludes by urging listeners to reflect on their own behavior in relationships and consider how it might impact others. Nathan observes that many men feel disheartened by negative experiences in relationships, which can result in them being less invested in future interactions. He discusses the damaging effects of ghosting and how it can leave men feeling undervalued after investing time and effort into a relationship. Nathan challenges the notion that all men are the same and urges listeners to consider how their actions can shape others' behaviors. He questions why men would continue to be respectful and invest in relationships when they often experience poor treatment. Nathan shares his personal experiences and observations, highlighting the struggles men face in the dating scene and the emotional toll it can take. He concludes by encouraging self-awareness and empathy in relationships, urging listeners not to hurt others intentionally. Quote of the Episode: "Why would a guy be such a way when he is genuinely interested, he is genuinely developing feelings, and then all of a sudden he gets the rug pulled out on him and then treated like an absolute piece of trash." - Nathan "If you hurt somebody intentionally who doesn't deserve it, you are an absolute piece of garbage of a human being. I want you to know that." - Nathan "Why would somebody invest the time and energy and the emotional energy into something when they could just very well be treated like a piece of shit?" - Nathan

This episode first aired on 29th March 2021 Are you enjoying the podcast? Please leave a rating and a review. Today's episode is a fly-on-the-wall conversation with one of my closest friends, Paul Dermody. We focused initially on nutrition and diet and then went in a different direction about halfway through the episode. If you enjoyed any of our previous conversations with a similar show structure, then this is not to be missed. Key Points · Many of us have a tendency to overestimate our nutritional knowledge. Paul encourages us to reflect on why we think about food the way we do, especially if we're stuck in our health and fitness goals. Cultivate self-awareness around where you're taking in your information and humble yourself to embrace the possibility that there may be gaps in your knowledge—and that some of that “knowledge” may be outright wrong. · Suffering comes from our belief that we can predict the behavior or thoughts of other people. It's unproductive to rely only on the little voice inside your head, because more often than not, we tend to be our own worst critic and overrationalize situations when relying on our own assumptions. Don't try to predict the intentions of other people. It's almost always a fruitless endeavor. · It's easy to get wrapped up in the idea that this one achievement or one event or one purchase will make you happy. What usually happens is, once those goals are reached, whatever high you experience always turns out to be temporary, and you're off chasing the next goal. True happiness is found in the moment and counting all the small blessings that we tend to take for granted, and not in simply pining for targets that we may or may never hit.

This week's episode is brought to you by a webinar that Dr. Michael Danko hosted with his practice, Premier Pain Institute. Two treatments are discussed are the zip procedure, also called posterior spine fusion and  Silo, a sacroiliac joint fusion. Dr. Danko explains how both of the treatments are used in his practice and have great outcomes. Tune in for all of the details.    Episode Highlights: Dr. Danko discusses the minimally invasive spine technology from Aurora Spine and Pain, specifically the zip and silo products.  Dr. Danko and Dr. Feldheim are with Premier Pain Institute located in Cincinnati, Ohio. They have offices in Loveland, Ohio, Mt. Orb, Ohio and Hillsboro, Ohio. When are you a candidate for posterior spine fusion? Spinal stenosis is a reduced space around the nerves in the spinal canal; With this condition, patients typically have difficulty with standing and walking that amplifies their back and leg pain. Patients may also experience weakness and numbness. Degenerative disc disease is the condition where the discs in the vertebrae start to lose their cushioning over time and those discs can become painful.  During the process of degenerative disc disease, a condition called spondylolisthesis can occur where the bony structure starts to slip and is not aligned properly. Nearly all humans will experience degenerative discs at some point in their lives; 90% of people are affected by age 50. Dr. Danko reviews the symptoms you may experience with it. What is the treatment for degenerative disc disease? The first step is usually physical therapy and the modalities they have to offer. Dr. Danko explains the indication to progress to imaging, injections, and beyond. What is the zip procedure? It is the alternative to the pedicle screw fixation procedure. Dr. Danko explains the implant and how it works. What is the recovery process for the zip procedure? What is Silo? When do patients need it? Fusion sounds like a scary procedure but Dr. Danko explains how it is a safe, straightforward, outpatient procedure. If you believe that you are a candidate for any of these procedures, your first step is to discuss your situation with a provider at the office.  3 Key Points: Many patients that have ongoing back pain are sent for imaging to help detect what exactly is the problem. At Premier Pain they are often having  imaging performed to detect conditions like spinal stenosis, disc herniation, degeneration of the disc or vertebrae, and spondylolisthesis. The doctors use the images to piece together along with the patient symptoms to know where the target of exactly what they need to treat. Dr. Danko explains the process of outpatient zip procedure and how it works as well as what the recovery process looks like. The sacroiliac joint fusion performed with SILO is a safe and effective treatment. Dr. Danko explains how patients may end up being in need for the procedure. There is a progression in the conservative treatment plan including external supportive devices, anti-inflammatory medications, and injections before moving on to more durable solutions or permanent fixes.

Cassandra Worthy: Change Enthusiasm Cassandra Worthy enables organizations and individuals to grow through major change and significant shift by harnessing the power of emotion. Whether undergoing a merger, acquisition, start-up, explosive growth, or significant contraction, the strategies and tools of Change Enthusiasm are motivating and energizing workforces worldwide. Her consulting firm was birthed from the pain and challenges she overcame as a corporate executive. Cassandra's client base spans the Fortune 500, including Procter & Gamble, Allstate, Jones Lang LaSalle, Centene Corporation, ConferenceDirect, and WeWork. She's a chemical engineer by training and also brings over a decade of M&A experience distilled down into the critical leadership traits required to lead with exception during times of change and trans-formation. She's the author of Change Enthusiasm: How to Harness the Power of Emotion for Leadership and Success*. In this conversation Cassandra and I explore the critical importance of emotion in the change process. We detail some of the critical places where leaders often miss opportunities to prioritize employee well-being. Then, Cassandra shares some practical steps leaders can take that will help employees better recognize signal emotions so they can eventually find opportunity and choice during the change process. Key Points Many leaders tend to diminish or ignore negative emotions during change. Actively doing that may prevent employees in getting to a place where they see opportunity — and eventually choice. Beware focusing too much attention on vision, roles, and responsibilities — and not enough on employee well-being and fulfillment. The change process is like driving in a car. The structure of the process is the vehicle itself and the people are their fuel. Have discussion about handling change a regular item in 1:1 agendas and team meetings. Leaders can enter into the opportunity that change provides by sharing their own emotions. One way to do this is to be explicit in conversation about what is genuinely inspiring you about the change.

On this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, Jeff talks to Rory Vaden. He is an absolute beast, a stud, an expert, a guy that Jeff has looked up to and has read both of his books.  Rory has built a group called Brand Builders. He is a top 100 speaker, two-time world champion, best-selling author for ‘Taking the Stairs' and ‘Procrastinating on Purpose'. Rory's TEDx has been viewed over 3 million times.  Episode Highlights: Rory explains how he started a brand builders' group, and he prepared one on one personal brand strategy for anyone they called mission-driven messengers. Brand Builders teaches people how to build and monetize their brand, reaching more people; He desires to make a difference in his community, industry, profession, and trade. Jeff asks, “How do I need to shift my mindset to understand why what you do is valuable to my business?”  Personal branding is simply the digitization of reputation. Rory explains how it is built on trust. 82% of Americans say that companies are more influential if their founders or executives have a personal brand they know, trust, or follow. For the most part, what you had for lunch or what's going on with your kids, or the trophies you want or your latest listings, all of those are irrelevant to someone who is a visiting stranger, says Rory. You try to use your brand to drive awareness for something that you are doing because there are only a few ways to monetize a personal brand. Ads and affiliates mean I'm not selling my audience anything. I'm selling other people access to my audience, and they're paying me to have the opportunity to put their brand in front of my audience, says Rory. What can you do to add value to the person you're trying to reach? The content you put out should be what is helpful for the person you're trying to target.  Some principles apply to everybody, but the honest answer, there's not a right answer to each thing, there's only a right answer for you. 58% of Americans said they would be willing to pay more money to receive the same service from a professional with a personal brand versus someone who worked at just a large company that they didn't know.  Jeff says, just because the brand is more prevalent, it might lend credibility; But at the end of the day, it's still going to come down to the individual and whether it's your statistics, personality, or reality, whatever it is, that is why people will choose you. For individual real estate agents, some are still struggling- To answer their questions of: Where should I go from here? What should I do next time? Do I need to define my content strategy and the platform? Where do I go and where do I start at the very basic level? Rory gives his advice. You have to be the go-to leading authority on something; If you are not, you are the noise. So even though you're frustrated that there's noise, you are the noise. The narrower you are, the more money you make because you are most powerfully positioned to serve the person you once were. Confidence and certainty come from clarity and most small business owners are completely unclear. They are unclear about who they serve and about what makes them different.   3 Key Points: Many people, when they hear the term personal branding, their mind goes to “You guys do websites”, or “You do graphic design”, or “You do logos and colors” for example. Those are branding agencies, and Brand Builders with Rory is the strategy firm. Personal branding is the digitization of reputation. It allows people to get a chance to be exposed, not to your company, not to who you work for, not to what you do, not even really to what you know but to who you are. That is the human experience available today in a more scalable way than ever before in history because of personal branding. One of the natural ways to differentiate is just based on who you are. So we do business with people who we trust. We trust people who we see, who we learn from, and who we know something about, says Rory.

On this episode of the Real Estate Fight Club podcast, Jenn Murtland and Monica Weakley are going to discuss what your obligation is to the other agent when they make a mistake on contract and it's in your client's favor. This is a tricky one!   Episode Highlights: Monica says depending upon the situation and deal, she will allow the agent to make the correction. If it is more serious, she will run it by the client to inform them about the error and provide helpful information.  Jenn says she will talk to both agent and client as it needs to come out because ultimately, clients will figure it out. We need to make sure that the spirit of the contract remains intact. Monica says she likes to win, but the issue is defining what the win is. When we do business, there could be different problems in different markets. Jenn and Monica agree that you try to win every battle while negotiating, but you have to focus on winning the war of getting your client their dream house. If you know what your client wants, the better way is to complete the negotiation on time for the most money, says Monica. Once you understand someone's thinking, you can understand what questions they have, and you can work around it to get what you want. In order to solve client problems, you need to know their problems, and to know problems, you have to ask questions. Jenn introduces Chris Perez, Broker Owner of Real Estate Craft in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.  In today's episode, Chris is going to answer the tie-breaker question, “What is your obligation to other agents when they make a mistake on contract, and it's in your client's favor?” If we know that our agent is inexperienced, then it's our responsibility to protect the public from harm. Chris says maybe the agent misunderstood something regarding the property or misrepresented it to the buyer that can be corrected. Jenn says if it is an error, you should talk to the seller that you have made a mistake and get it correct.   3 Key Points: Many clients think a win is like winning the deal of price negotiation, but the real win is when you sell your house within the time frame you want. Jenn affirms that as a real estate agent, the job is to determine what can make clients happy because what you think and what clients say may be different. Chris says his first obligation is to the client and he processes the challenges through that lens.   *STOP yelling at your phone and yell at Jennand Monica instead!

On this episode of the Realtor Fight Club podcast, hosts Jenn Murtland and Monica Weakley discuss, what’s one thing that should have been taught in real estate school? There are so many answers to this question!Episode Highlights: Though they do agree sometimes, Jenn and Monica have different views on almost every point they debate.Jenn thinks there needs to be real estate apprenticeships for sales and math training.Too many people don’t understand the concepts of cold calling and commissions sales.Just like colleges, real estate school teaches in many different ways.Many agents do not know what they are getting themselves into and end up failing.Real estate schools do not even cover buying and listing presentations, along with a plethora of other steps in the process.Monica and Jenn may or may not be opening a secret underground real estate school in Puerto Rico.If schools did a better job of informing students about the realities of real estate, fewer people would go through with it.Fewer agents in the system benefit the failure rate, current agents, and clients alike.Everyone seems to agree that real estate school focuses more on the test than it does on actually being an agent.Taking the real estate test is too stressful for something that doesn’t translate to being a successful agent.Jenn thinks that brokers should eliminate zero-unit sellers at the end of the year.This week’s tiebreaker, April Spaulding, is a real estate agent with Keller Williams out of Winterhaven, Florida.Prospecting is how you get the business to make the money, yet, they don’t teach it in school.April thinks that cold calling is both old-school and still part of the mix that real estate school doesn’t teach.There are so many different ways to get business that need to be mixed and matched for your market.Geo farming is something that you have to do consistently for 2 years before you can reap the rewards.3 Key Points:Many agents fail in their first year because they don’t really know what it’s going to be like heading into the game.Jenn believes that real estate school should include more sales training while Monica believes schools should paint a better picture of what real estate agents actually need to do.Even admins have to get the same license as agents so they can show houses, but the problem is, they never actually sell houses. There should be a separate license.Resources Mentioned:Jenn Murtland (website, LinkedIn, Facebook)Call Jenn at (513) 400-1691 to discuss transitioning to eXp RealtyMonica Weakley (website, LinkedIn, Facebook)Realtor Fight Club Podcast Facebook page April Spaulding Website | (863) 866-1044 | Email: april@aprilspaulding.com 

Let's talk at www.instagram.com/averageisfailure or averageisfailure@gmail.com In this episode what I tried to do was to tell you about some of the struggles that have kept me from launching when I should have. Key Points: - Many of us struggle with overthinking. We listen to so many gurus and we want to get things just right. And, the problem is sometimes that does more to harm us than to help us. - There are some nuances to launching your dream that you never discover until you just get started. - Niches can be tricky little things to determine. Sometimes you just have to pick one and go with it and pivot down the road. - Consider making your story your niche. Niches can be hard to determine when you don't feel like you're a guru in anything (imposter syndrome), or when you have a vast array of interests. However, you're always a guru when it comes to at least one thing, your own personal and/or business brand story. Focusing on your story as a niche can allow the space for you to engage all of your interests organically and often in an even more contextualized and dynamic way. - Gary Vaynerchuk would call this "documenting" as opposed to being a guru.

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the importance and benefits of acquisitions and why it’s an important business tool you should consider.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Many entrepreneurs look at acquisitions as an esoteric, intimidating and highly complex process that’s hard to understand.  On the contrary, acquisitions are a powerful tool you can use to scale your business. In fact, companies are spending well over $2 trillion a year on acquisitions! There are two fundamental reasons why you should consider an acquisition.  First, acquisitions can help prove the value or worth of your current business. Second, it allows you to create new revenue generation. Acquisitions allow you to improve your current business model and boost your existing performance by decreasing the cost of goods or the cost of marketing. Acquisitions are considered to be a wise business move because you can often improve operational efficiencies and customer volume. . Jason shares an example of an old SaaS company being acquired by a new player in the ketamine arena. By acquiring their competition, the new player now has the luxury of increasing prices while decreasing costs. Jason believes there’s no better time to consider an acquisition since many businesses have been severely affected by the COVID-19 pandemic and may be more open.  If you’re not yet considering acquisitions, Jason challenges you to put it on your radar and look around. Make a list of your competitors and start those conversations. 3 KEY POINTS: Many entrepreneurs see acquisitions as an intimidating, highly complex and esoteric process.   Acquisitions are a powerful tool that can massively benefit your business.  Often, an acquisition can decrease costs, improve efficiencies and increase customer volume.  TWEETABLE QUOTES: “There’s a variety of benefits to acquiring competitors in your market.” - Jason Duprat   RESOURCES MENTIONED: Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy for Digital Businesses - https://www.facebook.com/groups/HeathcareEntrepreneurAcademy/ Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy for Brick & Mortar Businesses - https://www.facebook.com/groups/HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademyBrickandMortar/   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #acquisitions #smallbusiness #growthstrategy

OVERVIEW:  Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the downsides of selling low-priced products and services and emphasizes the importance of knowing your numbers.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Many entrepreneurs believe offering the lowest price is the most advantageous strategy when entering into a new market. While it can be beneficial in some cases, Jason doesn’t recommend considering this as your final business model. If you’re launching a new product or service, offer a better pricing option versus undercutting competitors by offering the cheapest price.  Ideally, your products and services should be sold based on the value delivered. Express the value and quantify it by using customer reviews and testimonials. Aim to become the best on the block vs the cheapest on the block.  Undercutting the competition is a good strategy for big box stores like  Walmart. Sam Walt went 10 years without a profit but he was well capitalized. For small businesses, it’s a losing business model. Remember it costs time and money to acquire customers. Consider the cost for email campaigns, ads and staff to manage the acquisition process.  Do the math on the backend and know your conversion rate by using tracking software.  Jason shares examples demonstrating how quickly you can lose money when you sell low-priced products and services and you’re running paid advertisements. Understand your numbers, especially in terms of marketing expenses and your costs for acquiring a customer.   3 KEY POINTS: Many entrepreneurs believe offering the cheapest price is a good strategy when entering a new market. However, it’s not sustainable and therefore, a bad business strategy, especially for small businesses. Rather than focusing on becoming the cheapest on the block, work on becoming the best on the block so you can charge more for the amazing value you deliver. Acquiring customers costs money so know your numbers and be aware of your conversion rate.   TWEETABLE QUOTES: “You have to watch your numbers and you have to know these calculations.” - Jason Duprat   “If you want to charge more, then you have to deliver more value.” - Jason Duprat   RESOURCES MENTIONED:  Sam Walton - https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/197560 Walmart - https://www.walmart.com Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy for Digital Businesses - https://www.facebook.com/groups/HeathcareEntrepreneurAcademy/ Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy for Brick & Mortar Businesses -https://www.facebook.com/groups/HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademyBrickandMortar/   #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #pricingstrategy #customertestimonial #costtoacquire #delivervalue

OVERVIEW: Jason A. Duprat, Entrepreneur, Healthcare Practitioner and Host of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Academy podcast talks about the importance of 'shutting off your brain' on occasion to achieve better mental health and clarity. He shares various ways to disconnect in order to reconnect and run your business more effectively.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS: Entrepreneurs are a completely different breed of individuals. Oftentimes, they're thinking about the business and how to make it better and easier for their customers. Entrepreneurs and business owners have a difficult time disconnecting mentally.  Taking a mental break is crucial for clarity and health. The subconscious mind is incredibly powerful. It works hand in hand with your conscious mind.  Jason recommends disconnecting the conscious and engaging your subconscious to achieve mental relaxation.   Get involved in an activity requiring immersion. For Jason, physical activity or sports works best. Other options include playing video games, watching a movie or reading a book. To ensure a good night's sleep, use blue light filters, read a 'light' book or meditate. Success in business is not the end goal - it's who you become in the process.  It's a process so enjoy the journey and figure out what works best for you. 3 KEY POINTS: Many entrepreneurs and business owners find it hard to disconnect and relax and take their minds off their businesses. Taking a mental break is crucial for clarity and health Get involved in activities requiring deep immersion like playing sports or video games, watching a movie or reading a book. TWEETABLE QUOTES: “Success in business is not just about the end result or the end goal. It’s about all these different types of things you have to learn to overcome and it’s about who you become in the process.” -Jason Duprat “This whole process is just that, it’s a process. It takes time. There’s lots of things you have to work on to reach that pinnacle of success.” -Jason Duprat #HealthcareEntrepreneurAcademy #HealthcareBoss #healthcare #entrepreneur #entrepreneurship #mentalhealth #mentalbreak #productivity #wellbeing

During this episode of the Lab Coat Agents Podcast, Tristan Ahumada, Nick Baldwin, and Eric Sachs of The Breakthrough Broker interview renowned real estate coach, Mike Ferry. Mike shares great advice on how to manage challenging times, gives insight on what to expect moving forward, and delivers actionable ideas on how to position yourself to win. Episode Highlights:  Should we expect a substantial decline in the amount of business being done if this continues for a longer period of time? Mike doesn't think it will continue for a very long time. Worst case, we're going to do four million transactions this year in the U.S. That's eight million commission checks. If you're not prepared and don't have great skills, you will have a problem. Mike is concerned for agents who started after 2012 who haven’t been through something like this. Today, agents need to expand their empathy. 98% of the agents have stopped working. This is a huge advantage for agents that are working. What type of schedule should someone be following while they're home right now to continue to stay productive? Take an hour and fifteen minutes three times per day. There's a minimum you should be working every single day. Does Mike anticipate that prices will drop as this crisis continues and gets resolved? The lack of inventory is what stabilizes prices and we have a lack of inventory in most of the nation today. This is the advantage to now vs. 2008. The focus should be on listing property more than ever before. What would you say to a realtor when they're dealing with a client who has said they want to wait it out right now? The public has a built-in series of excuses. People will go to the agent they've been communicating with. Nick suggests letting people know what the market is doing while not focusing on the virus. What do you think virtual appointments mean for the long run? Mike believes 50% of all transactions will become virtual because it speeds up the process. Technology offers efficiency to buyers and sellers. Practice your scripts and dialogues virtually with other agents. How do you build rapport when you're meeting people virtually? 50% of sellers want rapport. 50% want the job done quickly. The pre-qualifying process will tell you which direction to go in. Who should we be prospecting to and talking to during social distancing? Call anybody today because people are sitting in their homes by themselves. If you can't make cold calls due to tight restrictions, make care calls. Rule #1 for any realtor is always to follow the law, period. What should we do now about our 2020 goals? For May, June, and July make a one-month business plan for each month. Focus on the thirty day period that you have control of. Raise your standards for yourself. How does the world economy compare to what he has seen in the past? In Mike's opinion, the worst moment in American history was 9/11. From 2007-2012 we made it through the worst real estate recession in history. Americans are resilient and we’re going to make it through this. What do you do to keep your mindset so strong and cut out the negativity and fear? Earl Nightingale beat into his head the importance of being positive. Mike speaks on how he limits his media consumption.  He recommends taking a fifteen-minute mindset break twice daily. What is Mike reading right now and what should agents consume now? Mike has read 10,000 books in the last fifty years. 3 Key Points: Many agents have stopped working. Those who are still working on their business will have a huge advantage going forward.  Take advantage of this opportunity to learn how to use technology. It will offer you greater convenience and efficiency.  Get on the phone. Your clients want somebody to talk to right now and people will do business with the agent they’ve been communicating with.  Resources Mentioned: LCA Marketing Center: LCAmarketingcenter.com Lab Coat Agents: LabCoatAgents.com Mike Ferry website, email: mike.ferry@mikeferry.com Breakthrough Broker Think and Grow Rich (book) The Essence of Success (book) Think Outside The Box (book) Connect with Lab Coat Agents: Lab Coat Agents on Facebook Lab Coat Agents on Twitter Lab Coat Agents on Instagram Lab Coat Agents Facebook Group

During this episode of Tech Qualified, Tristan Pelligrino chats with the CEO of Triblio, Andre Yee. The conversation pinpoints some of the major challenges with B2B marketing right now - especially with standard MQLs and the traditional “lead model”. Andre talks about the shortcomings of using some of the standard marketing automation tools and how companies can pivot a bit to help gain rapport with prospects before they reach out and engage directly. Episode Highlights: Andre provide some highlights about his past work experience which includes a range of B2B technology companies Andre was a very early employee at Eloqua and helped grow the organization from around $15-$20 million to $125 million - in about 5.5 years Triblio was sparked by a lot of the experience Andre had with many first generation marketing automation platforms and technologies Triblio helps companies execute account-based marketing from end-to-end instead of piecing several different types of technologies together Andre discusses some of the major components to an account-based marketing strategy  and how an organization can set up an effective foundation To execute and account-based marketing strategy effectively, one of the most important things to note is the customization with your prospects Based on research conducted by Triblio, it’s important to understand that many companies interact with prospects 90 days or more before they fill out a form With an account-based marketing strategy, companies can actually be more proactive in how they engage their prospects and avoid sitting back until someone raises their hand and provides contact information Retargeting is effective, but that whole process depends upon a prospect actually visiting the website first With Triblio, companies have the ability to customize a visitor's experience on a website without any type of programming Content is truly the fuel behind your ABM campaigns and if you don’t have great content, you’re going to have limited success engaging prospects  Andre sees a very strong trend towards video and developing a variety of types of content for prospects to consume in a number of different ways  For those looking to get more information from ABM experts, Triblio actually has a new video series featuring interview segments from experts in the field Key Points: Many of the methods and techniques used 10 years ago in B2B marketing no longer work in the same way - evidence points to the fact that MQLs only close at less than a 1% rate now. The traditional model suggests that you go out and get as many leads as possible versus focusing on the specific accounts in your target market. Most marketing automation platforms focus on the engagement after a prospect has filled out a form on a website, but in reality, a prospect often shows many signs of engagement before providing contact information.

In this episode, Tami speaks with ChronicBabe herself, Jenni Grover, about how ChronicBabe was born, what ChronicBabe continues to stand for, and the new work that is calling Jenni forward: her School of Creative Resilience. Listen in as these two babes discuss what it means to live and work with a chronic illness—and uncover the innate superpower we all have: Creative Resilience. Key Points Many pain specialists say that your resilience is the biggest predictor of how well you will recover from chronic pain. Creative Resilience is teaching people how to tap into their innate creative energies, which we all possess, and then build that inner resource and use it to boost resilience and joy.  Resilience about more than just getting back up when you fall down. It's also about learning how to adjust. It's having the flexibility and creativity to think of new ways of doing things. We're all born with the ability to make things and make connections and learn new skills. Sometimes, we just need help tapping into that ability. About Jenni Grover Writing has been Jenni’s passion since she was an itty-bitty girl growing up in Houston, Texas. Her journalism degree from Northwestern University took her places she never imagined. Since 1995, she has called Chicagoland her home, though her clients are all over the world! In 1997, Jenni was diagnosed with fibromyalgia; in the years since, she has added a handful of other diagnoses to her list. Determined not to let chronic illness and disability get the best of her, Jenni created ChronicBabe.com—a community for women who wanted to feel babe-alicious despite illness. With the training of an investigative journalist and the creative passion of a lifelong writer, Jenni has transformed her career to help others like her… and to ensure our stories make a difference in the lives of millions of people living with chronic pain and illness.

In Episode 9 of the Toe-2-Toe Podcast, hosts Jenn Murtland and Monica Weakley duke it out over what they each think are top reasons agents fail. Learn Jenn’s ideas about why the industry needs to increase its barrier to entry, and hear why Monica thinks many agents are looking at everything all wrong. This episode will help you identify roadblocks to your success to ensure that you don’t fall into common pitfalls in the industry.  Episode Highlights: What are the two biggest reasons agents fail?On the internet you'll often see the stat that 75-85% of agents will get out of the business within their first five years.Jenn thinks the biggest reason people fail is because there’s not a training program in real estate.We need an apprentice program where you cannot be an agent until you understand business.This could look like spending 2-3 years under a high producing agent where prospective agents get training and in exchange they have to share part of their commission on the leads that they find.Monica wonders how that would work in terms of finding top lead agents willing to participate in such a program.Jenn argues that what the industry has been doing isn’t working.Monica asks how much the local MLS might shrink with new barriers to entry.Jenn imagines it would be about 1-5% its current size.As a profession they need to learn how to run a business, how to do math, and how to sell.The other reason Jenn thinks many people fail is because they don’t start on time.When you have a job you have to get there on time because it sets the tone for the rest of the day. Start at the same time every day.When you wake up to your alarm and don't press snooze, don't you always feel better? Monica mentions a popular video about a military leader who encouraged graduates to make their beds first thing in the morning.Monica believes that real estate agents have the wrong notion of exactly what it is they're doing in real estate as a realtor.The language of real estate is so inward-facing and it sets a really negative mindset.Monica describes the difference between a transactional mindset and a relational mindset.Jenn thinks the apprenticeship program could address some of this mindset problem.The other reason Monica thinks people fail is because they’re not 100% attached to the reason they want to succeed.In any goal, if you don't have emotional clarity on what your business will do for your family, your future, and your life, then every single day when you don't feel like doing it, you don't.Many people don’t care enough and they are too comfortable.Jenn and Monica discuss how they perform when something absolutely has to happen.When surveyed, many respondents said agents fail because of fear, especially fear of success.Another reason commonly cited in the survey is that people fail because they don’t have a plan.Jenn strongly feels an apprentice program would help the industry.Monica believes people fail in this business because they’re looking at it wrong.Most of the time people are buying or selling a home because something else happened. We are lucky enough to be able to help them with their transition.They want to do business with you because you know what you're doing and you actually care about them.3 Key Points: Many agents fail because there’s no real training program in real estate. Many agents fail because they have the wrong mindset and focus more on transactions than relationships. Show up as a human and fly your real estate flag.Resources Mentioned:Jenn Murtland LinkedIn | FacebookMonica Weakley LinkedIn | FacebookToe 2 Toe Podcast Facebook PageNavy SEAL encourages graduates to make their beds (video)

They end up wasting a lot of money and time. 04:17 – They’re a software service email subscription business model. They load a business’s data onto a database and apply a search engine to it. 05:04 – Pricing is all custom based on the enterprise level and it’s dependent on how many studies they have. Companies pay on an annual subscription basis. 06:03 – KnowledgeHound has been growing in double digits since they’ve started. Their key metric is number of clients, monthly recurring revenue, and adoption rate. 07:03 – The business is aiming for 5 million in revenue for 2016. 08:47 – Kristi gave up a six figure salary to work on KnowledgeHound. 09:31 – As an entrepreneur, Kristi’s ventures are not about the money. 10:56 – Kristi’s biggest investment in her business was her time.

Services like KnowledgeHound seek to fix the problem by importing business data and applying a search engine. For some entrepreneurs, the venture is not about the money – it’s natural drive that pushes them towards their goals. For KnowledgeHound, pricing is dependent on the number of studies that need to be stored in their database.
