What are values really - and how do you know if you’re living in alignment with them? In this episode, I sit down with clinical psychologist Dr. Emily Musgrove (aka Dr. Em from The Imperfects) to explore how we get stuck in patterns of people-pleasing, avoiding conflict, and living on autopilot - and how to reconnect with the things that matter most. Dr. Emily Musgrove is a clinical psychologist, author of Unstuck, and the Resident Psychologist on Australia’s top mental health podcast, The Imperfects. In this conversation, we delve into how to recognise when you're out of sync with your values, why it's challenging to break free from people-pleasing habits, and what it truly means to say no without guilt. Dr. Em shares: How to tell if you’re living out of alignment with your values Why “health” isn’t actually a value (and what to focus on instead) The 80th birthday party exercise: a tool for reflecting on what really matters The ACT Bullseye: a practical tool for assessing how you’re living Dr. Em’s “corridor meditation” (and why she does it in the hallway) The phrase that helps Dr. Em create distance from negative thoughts Why people-pleasing is so common - and how to break the pattern Key Quotes “Values are like heading west - you never get there. It’s an ongoing direction to return to.” “The question is: What is this yes for?” “I’m noticing I’m having the thought that I’m a failure. That tiny shift creates space.” Connect with Dr. Em on Instagram, LinkedIn and her website. Check out her new book Unstuck. My latest book The Health Habit is out now.

Organizations love to optimize—but often forget what, or who, they're optimizing for. When teams are built around internal structures rather than customer outcomes, even the best strategies become slow to adapt.Author and data analyst Neil Hoyne and Pini Yakuel explore how behavioral rigidity, not technical limitations, holds most companies back. Drawing from principles in Neil Hoyne's book, Converted, they argue for a shift toward systems that favor adaptability, exploration, and proximity to the customer. Because in a world shaped by AI, the real competitive edge is not just speed—it's staying meaningfully connected to the people you serve.Key TakeawaysWhen roles become identities, organizations lose flexibility. Over-specialization makes it harder for teams to respond to evolving customer needs.Behavioral defaults—not tech—often slow teams down. Loyalty to familiar workflows or team structures can block innovation, even when tools are available.AI works best when aligned with real customer strategy. It's not a shortcut or a strategy in itself—it's a multiplier for what actually matters.Customer-centricity requires outcome-driven teams. Structuring around internal functions, rather than external impact, leads to misaligned incentives.Small shifts in ownership create big changes in experience. Empowering teams to work across silos—even partially—brings them closer to the customer, and closer to results.Key Quotes[00:13:50] “Marketing teams don't just bake bread—they are bread. It's not just what they do; it's who they've become. So when the shift happens—when the customer wants cupcakes instead—they miss it entirely. Because they weren't watching the customer. They were defending the bread.” – Neil Hoyne[00:21:13] “If your strategy is ‘use AI better than the competition,' you don't have a strategy.” – Neil Hoyne[00:25:46] “Accelerate what already works. Tactics are multipliers, not miracles.” – Pini[00:46:47] “Positionless isn't binary. Can you let a team own 10% of something, start to finish?” – Pini Yakuel[00:51:39] “We've gone too far into specialization. It's time to bring back the craftsman.” – Neil HoyneAssociated Links:Learn more about Optimove's platformsLearn more about Positionless MarketingRead Converted by Neil HoyneCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I dive into one of the most common questions I get from soon-to-be membership site owners: how big does your audience actually need to be before launching your membership? I get real about the numbers, explain why your email list is so much more important than your social media following, and break down how engagement and quality matter far more than pure quantity. If you've ever wondered if you're “ready” to launch or what you should focus on before taking the leap, this episode is here to give you clarity.In this episode:What's the recommended size for your email list before it makes sense to launch a membership?Why is the quality and engagement level of your audience more important than just having a big subscriber list?Why shouldn't you rely on social media followers when measuring your potential audience?What specific steps can you take if you don't yet have a large, engaged email list and want to launch a membership in the future?Tune in to get practical, honest advice that will set you up for membership success!Key Quotes & Takeaways:"a list of 300 highly engaged, relevant, interested people beats a list of 3,000 who don't even remember who you are when you pop up in their inbox and they have no idea why they're on your list in the first place.""You can only create a solution in the form of a membership if you understand the problems that membership will solve.""Focus more on email subscribers than the vanity metrics of social media. Don't just play the numbers game. Make sure you're attracting the right kind of people and ignore all that nonsense gimmicky advice..."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

So much of how we spend our time is shaped by invisible rules we never agreed to. From how often you check email to how long you take to reply, these “time rules” run in the background - until you stop to question them. In part two of this conversation, New York Times bestselling author Chris Guillebeau joins me to talk about how to break free from these hidden rules and why living well beats chasing productivity hacks any day. Chris shares the question that helps him reset when he feels stuck, the “eighth day of the week” exercise that can change how you use your time, and his take on why the system or app you use doesn’t really matter. In this episode, Chris and I talk about: The “eighth day of the week” exercise for making time for what matters How to spot the hidden “time rules” running your life The 40-minute reflection rule that helps Chris stay on track Why Chris believes the greatest productivity hack is to love what you do How to decide what really matters—day by day, moment by moment Key Quotes: “I thought I was getting better at the wrong things.” “The greatest productivity hack is to love what you do.” “How valuable were my last 40 minutes?” “Did today matter?” Connect with Chris on Instagram, X (Twitter), and LinkedIn and his website, Listen to his podcast Side Hustle School, and check out his latest book Time Anxiety.

In this episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I welcome back Robbie Kellman Baxter, author of "The Membership Economy," to explore how the world of memberships and subscriptions has transformed over the past decade. We dive into the shifts brought by the boom during COVID, the increasing demands for meaningful value, the impact of AI, and what the future holds for membership businesses. Whether you're just starting out or you're a seasoned membership owner, this conversation is packed with actionable advice and thought-provoking strategy for thriving in an ever-changing environment.In this episode:What are the most significant shifts membership business owners need to understand in 2025 compared to previous years?How have automation and AI impacted membership models, and what balance should be struck between leveraging technology and maintaining a human touch?What can membership site owners do to stay relevant and valuable to their members in an increasingly crowded and competitive landscape?How can you future-proof your membership business for the next five to ten years in a world where subscription fatigue and global changes are a reality?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"a lot of people who launched memberships, maybe especially in that go go period from, let's call it, 2019 to 2022, suddenly got a rude awakening and realized, you know, I actually have to engage people once I bring them in. I have to have an offering, that justifies a forever transaction more scientific in the way that I run my business.""This is a time to take a step back, and say, what are we doing right? What are we doing wrong? What would we and this is, I think, the money question. What would we be doing differently if we were starting today?""And they say our existing members love us, but we're having trouble acquiring new members. And that is a signal that your offering is no longer competitive, no longer relevant. That should be a huge wake up call to you.""I think organizations that can continue to focus on aligning the member outcome, desired outcome with the way they package their value are the ones that are gonna do well."Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

Power of Imagination PodcastHost: Mr 2020Date & Time: 31 May 2025, 10:02 AM (Melbourne, Australia)Four map pins to mark the importance of this moment.“What pisses me off? Just about everything. But it doesn't last long.”Reality check: we all have control issues, and denial just proves it.Example: you can find a story to be angry about anything—traffic, coffee temperature, cold feet—if you choose to.Key point: Anything can piss you off if you tell yourself the right story.State matters more than story. The state you live in determines what you hear and how you respond.Three magical states to master:Ownership – What if you truly owned your day?Accomplishment – What if you ended every day with a win that matters?Satisfiable – What if you could be satisfied and still enjoy more?Ownership: Most people don't believe they can own their day, so they don't even try.“JosephGoddardToTheMax.com” is your tool to own every moment.Accomplishment: Daily wins fuel confidence.You “kick ass” when you have clear wins each day.Satisfiable: Learning to be truly satisfied while still hungry for growth.“I'm satisfiable” means you can enjoy what you have and still want more.If you're not experiencing those three states, you end up chasing happiness—which always feels one step away.Clarity vs. Confusion:“Confusion always comes before a new level of clarity.”Educational turbulence is part of rising into the sunshine.“Have you ever let someone tell you how to do your job—when they've never done it?”Opinions are like… well, you know.Different people in different states will react differently to the same message.Imagine Ownership:Picture yourself owning every minute.Imagine Accomplishment:Feel the satisfaction of winning today.Imagine Being Satisfiable:Know you're content and still open to more.Top Secret Nuclear Arsenal: “Blessing Blaster” is how you stop chasing blessings and become the blessing.Neville Goddard's Insight:“When you imagine lovingly for another, your own cross is lifted.”Took me 25 years to fully understand why.Morning Routine:JosephGoddardToTheMax: Own your day, feel accomplished, be satisfiable.Be the Blessing:On your walk, imagine blessings for everyone you pass or anyone who pops into your mind.This practice sets the tone: you give blessings before you ever speak.After a one-on-one session, I felt energized.In that state, I went on my morning walk imagining blessings for my clients, my wife, the people at the pool.Result: Everyone I interacted with felt that positive energy—and it circled back to bless me.Recap: Master Ownership, Accomplishment, and Satisfiable to stop chasing happiness.Be the blessing first, and you'll stop seeking blessings.If this episode helped you, reach out—love to hear from you.For more goodies: scoot over to NevilleGoddardStore.com and see what you can add to your game.Key Quotes to Remember“Anything can piss me off if I tell myself the right story.”“Ownership, Accomplishment, Satisfiable—master these and you'll never chase happiness again.”“When you imagine lovingly for another, your own cross is lifted.”Next Steps for ListenersOwn Your Day: Write down one specific win you'll achieve today.Feel Accomplished: At day's end, identify that win and celebrate it.Be Satisfiable: Practice gratitude for what you have while staying open to more.Bless Someone: Before you speak, imagine a genuine blessing for at least one person.That's it. Keep it simple—start your morning with JosephGoddardToTheMax.com, imagine being the blessing, and watch how your life shifts. Have a great day.—Mr 2020

Ready to rethink your sales strategy? In this episode of Selling to Corporate, I sat down with Kirsty Smith, founder of Natural Rays, a well-being consultancy specialising in menstrual and menopausal health in the workplace to hear how she switched from exhausting social media marketing to impactful B2B sales.  Kirsty reveals how focusing on corporate clients transformed her business, boosted her confidence, and gave her more freedom—without the burnout of the Instagram algorithm.This episode is packed full of practical wisdom for anyone considering – or already navigating – the transition from selling to individuals to targeting organisations. Jess and Kirsty dig into the nuances of social media marketing, the realities of supporting women's health at work, why B2B sales can offer more stability and impact, and how finding the right sales process can revolutionise your business (and mindset).  If you want to make your expertise go further, have stronger boundaries, and actually enjoy selling, this conversation is packed with insights you don't want to miss.  Learn how organisations supporting menstrual and menopausal health see significant ROI—not only does it affect over half the workforce directly, but it also impacts colleagues and families. Kirsty highlights the importance of shifting conversations from personal discomfort to broader workplace support, positioning this work within diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI) initiatives. Kirsty describes her transition from selling B2C to selling to B2B, identifying social media marketing as significantly exhausting compared to the clearer strategies and boundaries she's now able to set with B2B clients. She notes that B2B sales allow for more direct and open budget conversations, leading to greater confidence and more sustainable business practices. Kirsty shares how joining The C Suite ® provided her with a streamlined, metrics-driven sales process that replaced the unpredictable nature of B2C marketing. She also emphasizes the motivation and practical insights gained from being part of a supportive peer community, which helps her refine and optimize her business continuously.   In this episode I'm sharing; Supporting women's health at work is not just about inclusion – it's key to business ROI and wellbeing for all. Transitioning to B2B offers scale, higher impact, and the chance to build stronger business boundaries. Ditching algorithm-dependence for a proven sales process brings confidence, consistency, and (best of all) mental space. Community matters – being surrounded by others on the same journey keeps you inspired, grounded, and proactive. If you're on the fence about investing in your business development skills, consider the long-term impact and support you'll gain.   Key Quotes; The Ripple Effect of Struggles at Work: "It's not just the direct ROI in terms of the person that's experiencing the symptoms. It's like, who are the people around them that are also being impacted by that person experiencing the symptoms." 00:05:1200:05:24 Social Media Fatigue: "That's why I've wanted to kind of move away from marketing solely on social media because it doesn't make me feel good. When I show up there, it takes away from you know, it takes my brainpower away from other things, which is another reason why when I came into the c suite and I knew what I needed to do, I jumped into it and I followed it." 00:24:3200:25:32 Work and Wellbeing in the Modern Era: "We cannot look away from the fact that our employment, how we work, where we work, has an impact on our health." 00:10:3700:10:47 Setting Boundaries in Business: "Oh, we don't pay for that. And I've said, oh, I don't actually do that for free." 00:17:0300:17:08 The Power of Consistency in Business Development: "So what I loved about the process that you talk us through in The C Suite ® is that, you know, there are many different ways to do business development, but you pick the one that you want to and you follow it through. And there's a strategy and you stay consistent, and it was really clear what needed to be done, the metrics that we were following." 00:14:3800:14:57   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Join the waitlist for the Converting Corporates Event 2026! https://smartleaderssell.vipmembervault.com/cc2026waitlist Sign up to the Cold Email Outreach Conversion Course  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-email-outreach-conversion-course/ Contact Kirsty -  https://www.instagram.com/natural_rays_hormone_harmony/ https://www.linkedin.com/in/kirstysmithnaturalrays/ If you want to track your sales and set targets, check out my sales tracking spreadsheet  https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/sales-tracker-spreadsheet/   Watch my video on how to troubleshoot your sales process! https://www.loom.com/share/a2de63c2c7354a7a86335b79ef94497e?sid=60cdc100-9f2b-49b5-a5db-aee7de17596d   If you're looking to get the best support in selling your services to corporate organisations, not to mention email templates and proposal outlines so that you really can convert at much higher rates and sell your services more successfully then Join The C Suite ® now. https://sellingtocorporate.com/the-c-suite-self-study/   Take the Selling to Corporate ® offer quiz and find out what the best offer is that you could sell to corporate.  https://app.quizitri.com/render/9987a008-7a0c-452e-ba02-06f10318d66c   Sign up for the webinar on Five Simple Steps to Landing Corporate Clients. https://sellingtocorporate.com/webinar-registration/   Top 5 Business Development Questions: If you're looking to convert more business development calls into sales?

In this kickoff episode of Decoded, Phillip Jackson sits down with Pini Yakuel to explore the concept of "positionless marketing" — a radical rethinking of how marketing teams operate in an AI-powered world. Drawing inspiration from the evolution of positionless basketball, Pini argues that marketing, like sports, is evolving toward roles defined by agility and capability, not titles or silos. The conversation weaves through leadership, startup culture, and how Optimove is enabling marketers to work faster, smarter, and more autonomously.Key TakeawaysPositionless marketing is a mindset — It's about autonomy, adaptability, and eliminating bottlenecks, not just rearranging the org chart.Modern teams thrive when roles are fluid — Inspired by positionless basketball, today's marketers succeed through cross-functionality and creative flexibility, not rigid specialization.Gen AI is the new creative exoskeleton — Like an Iron Man suit, AI tools enhance marketers' abilities, enabling faster, smarter, and more creative execution.Speed is the native language of startups — Startups operate positionlessly by necessity, while legacy orgs must dismantle silos and empower self-service to keep up.Positionless isn't chaos—it's craftsmanship — The best managers focus less on blocking and tackling, and more on elevating outcomes by distributing capability and unlocking human potential at scale.Key Quotes[00:12:25] “Let's look at the Renaissance man... the celebration of the wide gamut of human talent — that's what this could be.” – Pini[00:24:53] “It's not that departments will disappear. It's that the type of work they do will start to change.” – Pini[00:26:23] “Almost every person in our exec team started their job at Optimove by writing SQL.” – Pini[00:30:12] “A team should be small enough to be fed by two pizzas — and fully autonomous.” – Pini (on the Bezos principle)[00:34:07] “You're already positionless — that's why you get to focus on what actually matters: the work.” – Pini, on Phillip's agile team setupAssociated Links:Learn more about Optimove's platformsLearn more about Positionless MarketingCheck out Future Commerce on YouTubeCheck out Future Commerce+ for exclusive content and save on merch and printSubscribe to Insiders and The Senses to read more about what we are witnessing in the commerce worldListen to our other episodes of Future CommerceHave any questions or comments about the show?

Summary In this insightful episode, Marc Schein interviews Snehal Antani, the CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai, about his entrepreneurial journey, the evolution of his company, and the future of cybersecurity. Snehal shares how Horizon3.ai grew from a handful of engineers working in a basement to a cutting-edge firm revolutionizing autonomous penetration testing. He walks listeners through the different startup phases, emphasizing how critical it is to develop a repeatable sales process, retain customers, and build operational excellence at scale. Snehal discusses the complex challenge of preserving organizational culture during rapid growth, highlighting mistakes made during their first hyper-growth phase and the importance of investing in strong, well-indoctrinated management. He explains how a thoughtful approach to onboarding managers as cultural ambassadors ultimately led to a more stable, scalable team. He offers a candid perspective on venture funding—detailing both the pitfalls of dealing with inexperienced investors and the value of bringing on seasoned operators as board mentors. Snehal uses his experience with crises, including the collapse of Silicon Valley Bank and the loss of his father, to underline the importance of developing "muscle memory" within leadership teams. He compares this to special operations units, where preparation and planning allow for excellence under pressure. The episode shifts into technical terrain with a compelling explanation of autonomous penetration testing. Snehal shares how Horizon3.ai developed a system capable of autonomously discovering vulnerabilities and compromising environments without human input—essentially transforming cyber warfare into an algorithmic domain. He compares pen testing to chess, where well-defined opening and closing moves are followed by dynamic midgames. Finally, Snehal forecasts a future in which cyberattacks will be AI-powered and nearly instantaneous. He warns that most current defensive tools are designed for human-centered responses, which will soon be obsolete. As evidence, he cites Horizon3.ai's autonomous agent compromising a bank in under five minutes—twice as fast as the previous year. He predicts the first deepseek-enabled cyberattack within 90 days, calling it a wake-up call for the industry. Key Points Startup Phases: Snehal outlines the four key startup phases: building value, repeatable sales, scaling operations, and achieving operational excellence. Culture During Hypergrowth: The key to scaling culture is hiring the right management and giving them time to assimilate before they scale their teams. Autonomous Pen Testing: Horizon3.ai's agent can autonomously discover and exploit vulnerabilities without human involvement. Crisis Leadership: True leadership is tested during crises; muscle memory and planning are essential for executive teams. AI-Powered Cyber Threats: Snehal predicts that the next wave of cyberattacks will be powered by open-weight AI models capable of adaptive exploitation. Key Quotes "You want to build that muscle memory as a CEO as early as possible… so you can stack excellence upon excellence." "PowerPoint is cheap. YouTube videos are cheap. Let our results do the talking." "My primary competitor is mediocre consultants." "Every defensive tool in the market today is designed for humans at the center—and every one of them will be rendered obsolete." "The future of cyber warfare will be algorithms versus algorithms, and humans by exception." About Our Guest Snehal Antani is the CEO and co-founder of Horizon3.ai, a pioneering cybersecurity company that leverages artificial intelligence to autonomously conduct penetration testing. Before founding Horizon3, Snehal served as the first Chief Technology Officer for the Joint Special Operations Command (JSOC), where he was instrumental in leading initiatives in data analytics, cloud/edge computing,

In this powerful and heart-expanding conversation, I'm joined by my new friend, Debbie Lynn Grace—intuitive mentor, energy expert, and founder of Sensitive Living Magazine. We dive deep into what it truly means to be a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP), how to embrace this trait as a superpower, and how to access higher vibrational states to move through life with greater clarity, peace, and purpose.  Whether you've been told you're “too sensitive,” feel easily drained by your environment, or just sense that you're wired differently, this episode will help you see those traits not as liabilities—but as divine gifts.  We also explore how trauma, especially betrayal, impacts highly sensitive people more intensely, and what it looks like to rise from that pain into the most empowered version of yourself. 

You've tried the meditations. You've done the breathwork. You've read every self-help book you could find. So why do you still feel stuck?In this episode, Dr. David Snyder isn't holding back. He tackles real questions from real people about ADHD, trauma, sleep issues, healing, and personal growth—and offers some surprising, practical answers that don't involve years of therapy or expensive programs.This isn't about vague affirmations or spiritual fluff. Dr. David talks about:· Why your body is often running the show (and how to take back control)· How your breathing and posture might be the key to managing ADHD symptoms· What to do when traditional healing methods don't work· The wild (but real) ways energy spinning and image cycling can heal pain· How “lucky people” think and act differently—and how you can become one of themIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything right but still not getting the results you want… this conversation might be exactly what you need to hear.Dr. David's advice is raw, unconventional, and deeply practical. He's not here to coddle you—he's here to wake you up to what's possible when you finally learn to reprogram the subconscious patterns running your life.Key Quotes:"Every single event, every single attribute or perceived deficiency in your mind and body can be looked at in a positive light or negative light, and the meaning you assign to it will determine the life directions you take.""Nothing in life is wasted. Every training you've ever gone to, every lesson you've ever had, even every bad thing that's ever happened to you, is a resource.""Your body's always listening. So it's really important to monitor not just your thoughts, but the words you speak, and how you speak them."Key Takeaways:Reclaim your focus through your body. If you struggle with ADHD or mental fog, don't start with your mind—start with your posture and breathing. Straighten your spine, breathe deeper, and get physically active. Your body leads; your mind follows.Stop treating symptoms. Ask better questions. Whether it's emotional pain, trauma, or energy blocks—ask yourself: “What's the root of this? What unresolved moment or belief is feeding this pattern?” Go beyond temporary fixes. Seek the source.Reframe resistance into choice. When facing opposition (in yourself or others), ask: “If I were to do this for my own reasons, what might they be?” This turns defiance into personal ownership.Episode Timeline:0:00:02 - Intro and announcer's introduction 0:00:26 - David Snyder begins discussing fighting, influence, and ADHD management • Talks about physical approaches to managing ADHD• Discusses posture, breathing, and reframing techniques0:05:04 - Begins addressing various audience questions • Discusses energy sensitivity• Talks about sleep apnea solutions• Explores chakra cleansing and energy healing techniques0:14:25 - Deeper discussion on spiritual concepts • Explains manifestation and connection to source• Discusses how quickly things manifest as a measure of spiritual connection0:24:26 - Provides advice on psychic abilities and Qigong • Recommends practices for developing intuition• Discusses healing modalities0:40:08 - Explores characteristics of lucky people • Explains how lucky people think and act• Discusses manifestation techniques0:48:25 - Talks about image cycling and manifestation • Provides guidance on how to use manifestation techniques• Discusses working with his associates and referrals0:56:45 - Closing remarks • Provides final thoughts and community supportTo learn more about Dr. David Snyder and everything about NLP, visit:Website: ⁠https://www.nlppower.com/⁠YouTube: ⁠https://www.youtube.com/@DavidSnyderNLP⁠Instagram:⁠ https://www.instagram.com/davidsnydernlp

If your to-do list is full but your energy is gone, this episode is for you. In this special crossover episode from the This Is Work podcast, I sat down with Shelley Johnson to talk about energy, deep work, and why true productivity has more to do with cold water and Kindles than hustle and hacks. I also share what’s working (and what’s not) as I write my fifth book on burnout and depletion, including the habits I’ve doubled down on, and the ones I’ve thrown out. In this episode Shelley and I talk about: The counterintuitive productivity hack I use daily How I re-work book concepts while walking and talking to ChatGPT The “hall pass” rule that makes new habits actually stick Why minimum effort often leads to maximum energy Key Quotes: “So much advice out there is completely unattainable. I’m interested in what gives us energy that’s actually doable for real people.” “It’s not about doing more. It’s about being smart with the time and energy we do have.” “If we don’t track where our time is going, we’ll keep spending our energy on the wrong things.” “Just splashing cold water on your face can be enough to reset. You don’t need to jump into an ice bath.” Connect with Shelley via LinkedIn, or through Boldside’s Instagram and website.

Today I'm sharing why updating your B2B sales process is crucial right now. The market is rapidly changing—referrals aren't enough anymore, and only a best-practice, proactive sales approach will help you land those high-value corporate clients. I'm talking about the importance of reviewing your metrics, getting honest about what you want from your business, and why taking action before the summer slowdown is essential. If you want sustainable, predictable results in 2025 and beyond, now's the time to make those smart changes. If you're a coach, consultant, trainer, or service provider selling to companies, you need to harness best practices—nothing “sleazy or gross”—and create a predictable, sustainable revenue stream, no matter what's happening in the consumer market. Tune in for honest advice, market insights, and your nudge to step things up! In this episode I'm sharing; The B2B market is changing—fast. Are you updating your sales process to match? Why midyear is a pivotal time to review your pipeline. Sales slowdowns are coming: If you don't close opportunities before mid-July, expect long delays due to summer decision-maker holidays. The B2B opportunity is bigger, but only for the prepared. Is your sales process designed for today's reality—or stuck in 2015? Why referrals are no longer sufficient in B2B. Cold -> Closed - specifically created for this market to fast-track your outreach, objections and closing before the summer slowdown. Best-practice, proactive sales processes are more important than ever, especially as referrals dry up.   Key Quotes; The Shifting Coaching Market: "And over the last few months, I've been talking quite openly on the podcast about how the business to consumer market has really shifted. And in some cases, the bottom is completely falling out of it." 00:03:1500:03:27 Entrepreneurial Focus Shifts in a Changing Market: “I very consciously moved my business to be focused on maximum revenue generation from corporate clients. And that's been really fun and really interesting.” 00:15:5300:15:54 Why Reviewing Your Numbers Feels Different This Year: "So for some people, you might be reviewing your numbers in June thinking, actually, this has been my best year to date. You know? Actually, this has been the year where I've made the most revenue, where I've set the best boundaries in my business, where I have, you know, worked on things that were actually meaningful to me, and impactful to organisations that I work with." 00:27:3500:28:44 Boosting B2B Sales This Season "If you want to spend the next six weeks building out your B2B sales for the next ninety days so that you are actually getting better outreach results, higher response rates, more calls being booked with you, more proposals going out of the door before the summer hits, then you need to go ahead and check out the Cold -> Closed link again. "00:44:3600:45:03 The Reality of Wanting High-Paying Clients Quote: "If you're somebody who's saying, yes. I absolutely want companies to pay me £5,000, 10 thousand pounds, 20 thousand pounds, 50 thousand pounds per engagement, but you are not willing to put in the time that it takes to do proactive outreach to book sales calls that are going to be worth tens of thousands of pounds, then you need to take a real look at whether you are saying you want something, but you're not indicating that you are willing to do the work or invest the time, energy, and money required to get that result." 00:27:3500:28:44   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Click here for Cold -> Closed.

In a world where many doubt true transformation is possible, Ron Adkins' story proves otherwise in the most dramatic way. Once known as one of the most violent inmates in the prison system—serving nearly 600 years in sentences and spending 13 years in solitary confinement—Ron's life took a radical turn. Through a powerful spiritual awakening and a redefinition of his identity, he transformed from a feared gang member into a beacon of redemption and hope.This episode isn't just inspirational—it's a deep dive into the power of human potential. Ron shares how he broke free not just from physical restraints, but from the mental and emotional chains of his past. His story reveals the true nature of courage, the importance of identity in personal change, and how even the darkest chapters can become the foundation for a life of purpose and service.Key Quotes:• "Bravery is not being unafraid. It's doing it even though you're afraid, doing it while you're afraid." - Ron Adkins• "Everything God does is redemptive. He's the Redeemer." - Ron Adkins• "Writing is thinking. When you're writing, you're putting your thoughts down to paper, you're really digging down and really organizing your thoughts." - Ron Adkins• "It's continuously asking ourselves that as our knowledge grows."- Matt BeaudreauKey Takeaways:• Examine your personal identity - who are you telling yourself you are, and is that story limiting your potential?• Practice courage by doing things that scare you, understanding that bravery isn't the absence of fear, but action despite fear• Seek out mentors and spiritual guidance who can help you see your inherent value• Regularly reflect on your life story, looking for moments of divine intervention or unexpected grace• Start writing - use writing as a tool for thinking, processing, and understanding your personal journeyConclusion:Ron Adkins' story is living proof that transformation is always possible. Once facing 599 years in prison, he's now a voice of hope and redemption, showing that identity is a choice, not a life sentence. His journey reminds us that courage means acting despite fear, and that with faith, any path can be redirected. Ron's message isn't just about his past—it's a call to believe in your own power to change. Learn more at RadicalRestorationMinistries.com.

Why is the world the way that it is? Is it just a result of the Fall? Or is there more than just that? Yes, there is. A spiritual war that has been raging since the dawn of time.Show Notes00:00:00 - 00:00:47* Introduction to Supernatural Beings* The episode opens with a discussion on the origins of deities, suggesting that they were real beings assigned to watch over nations but failed by directing worship to themselves instead of Yahweh.* Key Quote: "They were ones that were actually supposed to watch over these nations. And point them to Yahweh. But they failed and they started pointing the nations to themselves."00:00:47 - 00:02:09* Podcast Introduction and Banter* The hosts introduce themselves as the "two kings of the Rube Empire," describing themselves as "right-wing extremists," "supernaturalists," and "Christian bigots" in a tongue-in-cheek manner.* They welcome listeners to the Kingsplaining Podcast, emphasizing its status as the "best podcast in the world."* The hosts express excitement for the month of May and discuss the upcoming summer, with the Iron King noting his kids will soon be home from school.* Key Quote: "Kingsplaining.com, the absolute best podcast in the entire world."00:02:09 - 00:04:12* Homeschooling and Family Dynamics* The Iron King shares his experience with homeschooling, describing it as a consistent and rewarding lifestyle.* The hosts discuss the emotional rollercoaster of wanting kids to go back to school but also enjoying their presence at home.* They touch on gender dynamics, humorously noting that women are agents of change while men seek stability.* Key Quote: "Women are agents of change. Men change once during puberty and then it's just stability."00:04:12 - 00:09:43* The 100 Men vs. One Gorilla Debate* The hosts dive into a viral cultural topic: whether 100 men could defeat a single gorilla in a fight.* They argue that while a gorilla would dominate in a 1v1 scenario, 100 men, especially if organized and including physically elite individuals, would likely win due to sheer numbers and intelligence.* They reference memes and pop culture (e.g., Mel Gibson converting the gorilla, Harambe) to highlight the humorous zeitgeist surrounding the debate.* Key Quote: "100 dudes coming at one gorilla, Hundo's going to win that fight."00:09:43 - 00:12:09* Political Commentary: Absence of "Orange Man Bad"* The hosts note a shift in political discourse, observing that the intense anti-Trump rhetoric ("Orange Man Bad") has been overshadowed by lighter cultural debates like the gorilla question.* They critique the unfulfilled predictions of societal collapse under Trump's administration, now 100 days in.* They discuss Democratic complaints about Trump not lowering prices as promised, pointing out the hypocrisy given the price hikes during the Biden administration.* Key Quote: "We were promised a complete and total collapse of society. And we're 100 days into the Trump administration."00:12:09 - 00:21:41* Trump's First 100 Days: Favorite Policies* Philosopher King's Favorite: Trade War and Tariffs* The Philosopher King praises Trump's tariff policies, arguing they counteract the hollowing out of American manufacturing and support the middle class.* He acknowledges libertarian critiques (tariffs as taxes) but supports them as tactical tools to balance trade inequities with countries like China.* Key Quote: "These are weaponized tariffs. These are tactical tariffs. And I like that."* Iron King's Perspective on Tariffs* The Iron King agrees, likening tariffs to a scale that reveals economic truths, encouraging consumers to buy American-made goods.* He references the Trump-Bezos feud over Amazon showing tariff costs on receipts, viewing it as a political stunt but ultimately beneficial for transparency.* Key Quote: "I actually want you to see how much the tariff is going to cost you. Because then it's going to force you to say, maybe I should buy in America."* Additional Policy Discussion* The hosts mention proposed tax relief measures (e.g., no tax on tips, overtime, or incentives for buying American cars) and subsidies for relocating factories to the U.S.* They express skepticism about long-term subsidies but support temporary measures to boost domestic production.* Key Quote: "The more that we produce here, the easier it will be to do that."00:21:41 - 00:29:32* Trump's First 100 Days: Disappointments* Iron King's Disappointment: Border Security and Deportations* The Iron King praises the reduction in border crossings but is disappointed by the lower deportation numbers compared to Biden's first 100 days.* He criticizes judicial pushback against deportations and questions the authority of the judicial branch, advocating for stronger action.* Key Quote: "What army does the judicial branch have? What authority does the judicial branch have?"* Philosopher King's Disappointment: Anti-Semitism Crackdowns* The Philosopher King sarcastically critiques the focus on arresting people for anti-Semitism, viewing it as a pretext for censorship.* He connects this to broader issues of selective outrage and power structures.* Key Quote: "I'm not interested in this fight against anti-Semitism. Not in the way that they're doing it because it's really just censorship."* Shared Disappointment: Epstein Files* Both hosts express frustration over the lack of arrests related to the Epstein files, questioning the administration's commitment to justice.* They highlight the suspicious death of Virginia Giuffre and the lack of accountability for Ghislaine Maxwell's clients.* Key Quote: "I cannot trust your ability to dole out justice if you refuse to do something about it."* Positive Note: Resistance to War* The hosts commend Trump for resisting calls for war with Iran and Ukraine, despite pressure from neocons and foreign leaders.* Key Quote: "I like that there's pushback against going to war with Iran for no reason."00:29:32 - 01:36:36 (Truncated Section Summarized)* Supernatural and Biblical Discussion* The hosts shift to a deep exploration of biblical prophecy, focusing on Revelation 6 and 9, which describe apocalyptic events, demonic entities, and the wrath of God.* They discuss the concept of a "breakaway civilization," where elites prepare for catastrophic events by building underground bunkers, possibly in anticipation of divine judgment.* They reference Revelation 6, where the powerful hide in caves, calling for mountains to fall on them to escape God's wrath, and connect it to modern elite behavior (e.g., the Obamas' oceanfront property despite climate change warnings).* The hosts speculate on the spiritual nature of these events, suggesting that fallen angels or demonic entities (the "old gods") influence global affairs.* Key Quote: "The elites serve a different master. And it's the same masters that have been here for millennia."* Revelation 9 and Apocalyptic Imagery* They discuss Revelation 9's description of a pit opening, releasing scorpion-like entities, and draw parallels to Noah's time (150 days).* They emphasize the Bible's supernatural elements as a lens for understanding current events.* Key Quote: "We're just reading Revelation because the Bible is always true."01:36:36 - 01:44:59* Connecting to the Normies and Spiritual Warfare* The hosts urge listeners to pay attention to elite actions, not just words, citing examples like the Obamas' contradictory behavior.* They frame the world as a spiritual battlefield, with Christians as infiltrators advancing God's kingdom against demonic forces.* They argue that Jesus' authority, granted at Calvary, empowers believers to preach the gospel and resist evil.* The hosts critique modern paganism and Islam as tools of Satan, describing Islam as a force of submission that threatens Western Christendom.* Key Quote: "We are literally an infiltration. We're people of the way. What you're describing is a war, a spiritual war."* Biblical Truth as a Defense* The Iron King emphasizes that their understanding comes from scripture, not personal intelligence, which protects them from cultural deceptions (e.g., COVID, George Floyd).* They highlight a global revival, with people turning to Jesus amid increasing evil.* Key Quote: "When you cling to truth, all the lies fade. When you cling to truth, you win the victory because this is a spiritual war."01:44:59 - 01:53:58* Supernatural Elements in Scripture* The hosts list bizarre biblical phenomena to underscore the reality of the supernatural: lion men, goblins, talking donkeys, time travel (e.g., Moses and Elijah at the Transfiguration), and miracles like Jesus walking on water or Elijah calling fire from heaven.* They argue that these events challenge naturalistic worldviews and suggest that myths (e.g., vampires, werewolves, dragons) have biblical origins in corrupted flesh or demonic activity.* Key Quote: "All of the weird stuff that you are told that is not real has an origin story somewhere."* Examples of Biblical Supernatural Events* Moses' glowing face, Jesus' transfiguration, Elijah's chariot of fire, Samson's feats, and Ezekiel's vision of dry bones.* The hosts assert that God's power continues today, despite skepticism from some theologians.* Key Quote: "Our God is in complete control, and he's doing supernatural things through spiritual power."01:53:58 - 02:01:14* Final Thoughts: Sin, Not Skin* Philosopher King's Final Thoughts* He emphasizes that despite the influence of the kingdom of darkness, Jesus holds all authority, and the kingdom of God is advancing.* He encourages listeners not to fear the "breakaway civilization," as it will face divine judgment.* Key Quote: "Don't fear the breakaway civilization. It will face judgment and it will not go well for them."* Iron King's Final Thoughts: Addressing Racial Narratives* The Iron King critiques the overemphasis on racial crime statistics (e.g., 53% of violent crimes by 13% of the population) and compares it to abortion, which kills over a million babies annually.* He highlights that 64% of abortion doctors are white and 74% are male, contrasting this with the lower percentage of black abortion doctors (6%).* He argues that evil is a sin problem, not a racial one, and calls for repentance across all demographics.* Key Quote: "The issue with evil is it's a sin problem, not a skin problem."* Statistics Breakdown* Violent crime deaths: ~46,000/year (half suicides), ~10,000 attributed to African Americans.* Abortion deaths: ~1,000,000/year, with 640,000 facilitated by white doctors.* Key Quote: "White dudes kill way more babies than black dudes from the hood in violent crimes."02:01:14 - 02:03:52* Verse of the Day and Prayer* Verse: Ephesians 3:20-21* "Now to him who is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think according to the power that works in us, to him be the glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations forever and ever. Amen."* Prayer* The Philosopher King prays for God to thwart Satan's plans, expand His kingdom, and glorify Himself.* He asks for believers to build on God's foundation with generosity, truth, and love, anticipating Christ's return.* Key Quote: "I pray that you would thwart the designs of the evil one and his agents, the old gods."02:03:52 - 02:04:19* Closing Remarks* The hosts wrap up, encouraging listeners to like, share, and subscribe to spread the podcast's message.* They reaffirm their service to Jesus, the King of Kings, and humorously reference Michelle Obama's recent gaffe.* Key Quote: "Your two kings serve the King of Kings, Christ Jesus."Key Themes* Supernatural Worldview: The hosts interpret global events through a biblical lens, emphasizing spiritual warfare and the reality of demonic influences.* Political Analysis: They critique both the successes (tariffs, border security) and failures (Epstein files, deportation pushback) of Trump's first 100 days.* Cultural Commentary: From the gorilla debate to racial crime statistics, they challenge mainstream narratives with humor and data.* Spiritual Call to Action: They urge listeners to cling to biblical truth, resist evil, and advance God's kingdom.Notable Quotes* "The Bible is always true."* "We are literally an infiltration. We're people of the way."* "The issue with evil is it's a sin problem, not a skin problem."* "Don't fear the breakaway civilization.

You’re not lazy. You’re just out of capacity — and no amount of to-do lists can fix that. So what do you do when your brain is fried, your calendar is full, and you're still trying to show up for the people (and priorities) that matter most? Neuroscientist Ariel Garten has been there. As the co-founder of Muse, the brain-sensing headband used by over 500,000 people and backed by 200+ clinical studies, she’s learned how to work with her brain, not against it — using real-time feedback, five-minute resets, and a deeply human understanding of what it means to do less, better. In this episode, Ariel and I talk about: How she uses Muse to train her brain across focus, emotion regulation, and sleep The five-minute session she does daily to “work out” her prefrontal cortex What happens after meditation that makes the biggest difference Her go-to system for catching herself when she’s stressed, triggered, or procrastinating If you’ve been trying to push through the overwhelm, this conversation is a powerful reminder that focus, calm, and clarity aren’t things you force - they’re things you can train. Key Quotes: “What you have to do is recognise that it’s ok to have limitation and it's ok to only do so much in a day.” “Forcing yourself to do something that you're not good at, trains you to just do it better each and every time.” “My bad habits became my triggers for better habits — but only once I noticed them.” Connect with Ariel via LinkedIn, Instagram, and X (Twitter).

David Mills believes the mess and chaos of life make the best stories. In this episode, he shares how to infuse more fun and adventure into your parenting journey. You'll hear real talk about dad guilt, finding your tribe, and why doing life with other men makes all the difference.    Key takeaways:   An adventure mindset shifts how you view your circumstances so that even the challenging moments become stories worth telling.  Doing hard things awakens the warrior in you. Every parent struggles with parent guilt, so give yourself grace.  Do you have 12 men in your town you could call at 2 a.m. who'd show up, no questions asked? If not, it's time to build your tribe.   Guest bio:   Dave “Goose” Mills is the Founder and Director of Men's Alliance. Spending his career in the Air Force flying squadrons taught him how tribes are formed, how they operate, and how they save lives. He started Men's Alliance to surround himself with strong Christian warriors in order to keep his life on course. Goose has been married for 24 years and has four kids.   Key Quotes  "I believe we were literally designed for hard times... It's not just that it makes us better men, which it does, but it also awakens in us, you know, the heart that God designed us to have. We were born to do hard things." - David Mills [00:09:37] "You would be an absolute fool to try to do this by yourself. Like, don't try to go this alone. The myth of the lone ranger has been prevalent in our culture. The truth of the matter is everything important and big that's ever been done was done by a group." - David Mills [00:30:01]   Links mentioned:    Send a Voice Message to DadAwesome Apply to join the next DadAwesome Accelerator Cohort: Email awesome@dadawesome.org   Subscribe to DadAwesome Messages: Text the word “Dad” to (651) 370-8618 Men's Alliance

We’ve all been there. A weird vibe in a meeting. A team member who’s clearly not themselves. A tension that hums under the surface. And still—silence. In this mini episode, I share a simple but powerful story about what happened when someone called out my mood (in the best way). It reminded me how transformative it can be to name the obvious—and how rarely we do it at work. We’ll explore: Why unspoken tension is more damaging than we think How naming the “elephant” clears the air—without making things weird A practical way to build trust and psychological safety in your team What to say when something feels off but you’re not sure how to address it If you’ve ever wished you had the right words to handle an awkward dynamic or tense moment at work, this one’s for you. It’s about choosing courage over comfort—and making space for real connection. Key Quotes: “The beautiful thing about naming what’s happening is that it’s like popping a balloon of awkwardness.” “You don’t need a perfect script. You just need to say the thing.” My latest book The Health Habit is out now.
