If you're trying to support your child with ADHD naturally and feel overwhelmed by where to start, this episode is for you. ADHD health practitioner Dana Kay shares the three podcast episodes every parent should listen to first. She explains exactly where she would send you if you were sitting together over coffee asking one simple question: "Where do I even start?" Dana breaks down why understanding what's really driving ADHD is the foundation, why traditional ADHD treatments don't always lead to lasting change, and why hearing another parent's real journey can shift everything. These three episodes help parents stop chasing every new solution, start seeing patterns instead of isolated problems, and finally feel grounded in what actually helps their child thrive. If you're new to The Soaring Child Podcast or feeling stuck, confused, or exhausted, this episode gives you clarity, direction, and a starting point that actually makes sense. Dana also shares a glimpse of what's coming in the new year and why it may change how you see your child and their ADHD journey.  Links Mentioned in the Show 3 of the Best Soaring Child Podcast Episodes:  ▶ https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-166/ ▶  https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-111/ ▶  https://adhdthriveinstitute.com/podcast/soaring-child-episode-178/ Key Takeaways [00:49] Why more information doesn't always bring clarity [01:06] The power of focusing on the "right three" resources [02:07] Why this episode avoids hacks and protocols [02:26] What's happening beneath ADHD behaviors [02:58] Why this episode is the foundation for everything else [03:02] How understanding root causes brings steadiness [06:27] Seeing patterns instead of isolated problems [06:48] Why this perspective changes where parents put their energy Memorable Moments "More information does not equal more clarity."

When Good Intentions Lead to Bad Policy: Why the BBS Needs Therapist Feedback – An Interview with Dr. Benjamin E. Caldwell, LMFT Curt and Katie talk with Dr. Benjamin E. Caldwell about the California BBS's new regulatory proposals and why several well-intended ideas may actually undermine therapist education and professional standards. We discuss the proposal to award CE hours simply for providing supervision, giving CE credit for passive activities, concerns about codifying the licensing exam vendor, and the surprising reason behind the upcoming four-year fee reduction. Ben breaks down what therapists need to know—and how to make their voices heard during the public comment period. About Our Guest: Dr. Benjamin E. Caldwell, PsyD, LMFT Benjamin E.

Robin Alex is the co-founder of HighLevel, a marketing automation and CRM platform that has grown to more than two million users since launching in 2018. The company scaled rapidly—doubling and tripling year after year—largely through a white-label model that allows agencies and implementation partners to resell the platform under their own brand. HighLevel now operates with roughly 2,000 employees worldwide and continues to ship new features, including AI-driven tools, at an unusually fast pace. In this conversation, Robin talks through the real reason HighLevel gained traction, how they've structured support to handle growth without a sales team, and why simplicity always wins.  He also shares how they prioritize product development and decide what to build, what to ignore, and how to test ideas quickly.  The episode offers a clear look into the operational principles behind HighLevel's rapid growth, its product philosophy, and how the team continues evolving the platform for agencies, implementers, and small businesses.

This week, Kris welcomes LaVonda Paul, a trailblazing early childhood leader and fourth-generation entrepreneur, for an inspiring conversation about legacy, leadership, and the power of showing up. As the owner of Small Impressions Child Development Center in Taylors, South Carolina, LaVonda has spent 19 years building a community-first program. In the episode, LaVonda talks with Kris about how she's cultivated deep trust with families, built a rock-solid team culture, and gone all-in on advocacy, helping shape policy while showing up for children, parents, and educators alike. She opens up the community programs she's launched and why she might just run for office one day. This is a powerful look at what it means to lead with heart, purpose, and unapologetic commitment.   Key Takeaways: [7:37] LaVonda shares the origin of Small Impressions, which she's led for 19 years. With 90 students currently enrolled, she prioritizes quality over quantity and deep relationships with families. [8:57] Her journey in early childhood education began at the Urban League of the Upstate and in after-school programs, where she realized the impact she could make by working with younger children. [10:13] LaVonda reflects on launching her center while going through a divorce, raising a one-year-old. Her leap of faith led to a thriving business — now co-run with her husband, Curtis. [11:40] Fun fact: LaVonda is afraid to fly, but that doesn't stop her from being a world traveler! [13:34] LaVonda details what sets her center apart: low staff turnover, deep parent engagement, teacher-parent conferences, onsite therapy, and advocacy for families. [17:27] She's active at the state level, working with lawmakers and Chambers of Commerce to advocate for childcare investment and workforce development in South Carolina. [18:06] LaVonda explains her entrepreneurial drive as generational — a fourth-generation business owner who didn't want to live with "shoulda, coulda, woulda" regrets. [19:41] LaVonda explains running her school like a real school, where she acts as more principal than babysitter. [21:53] Kris and LaVonda talk about the importance of taking ownership when mistakes happen. [31:59] Lavonda's advocacy work includes training for childcare workers, as well as expanded services and access for children with behavioral or developmental needs. [33:06] What's next for LaVonda and Small Impressions?   Quotes: "I'm about quality as opposed to quantity. I don't want to pack out my classroom because I don't want to lose my sense of being able to connect with my students, um, being able to connect with my families." — LaVonda [8:10]   "That speaks volumes within itself, that children and families believe in our program here, that they stay with us, five, six years. I have a family here that's been here for 12 years." — LaVonda [9:02]   "I'm a risk taker. I'm gonna jump off that cliff. One or two things are going to happen, either God's going to catch me before I fall, or he's going to give me wings and teach me how to fly, but he's taught me how to soar." — LaVonda [10:40]   "It's better to have tried and failed than never to have tried at all. So why not try to create something special with my own ideas?" — LaVonda [18:32]   "Take ownership when you screw up. Take ownership when you don't always get it right." — Kris [22:34]   Sponsored By: ChildCare Education Institute (CCEI) Use code CCSC5 to claim a free course!   Mentioned in This Episode: Kris Murray @iamkrismurray The Child Care Success Company The Child Care Success Academy The Child Care Success Summit Grow Your Center Childcare Education Institute: Use code CDARenewal22 to get $100 off your renewal Small Impressions Small Impressions Facebook First Steps South Carolina

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.   As we approach the end of the year, I'm pausing to look back and celebrate all of the wonderful guests that I had the honor of speaking to on the show. And based on your feedback, many of these guests resonated with you as well so we're giving you another chance to revisit the stories, insights, and lessons you loved most in 2025!   This week, I'm excited to highlight an episode with Seth Godin.   Seth is a dear friend who I met in 2001 through his book Purple Cow, which is one of my all-time favorite books. Along the way, Seth has always been a great supporter of me and my career. Today, I'm eager to discuss Seth's latest book, This Is Strategy: Make Better Plans.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone who wants a fresh perspective on leadership and strategy.      TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…strategy isn't a lofty document or annual exercise. It's a compass guiding every decision you make. Seth challenges the conventional idea of strategy as static and instead frames it as a dynamic, iterative process of becoming. He shares nuggets of wisdom from his new book, which he says is a love letter for the people he cares about.     KEY TAKEAWAYS…  - Fear is often the thing that holds people back from making bold decisions.  - False proxies, like easy-to-measure but irrelevant metrics, can misguide your focus.  - The best leaders inspire action by focusing on the "why" behind their strategies.    WHAT I LOVE MOST…Seth's thoughts on practical empathy. He says it's easy to become attached to something because you've worked hard on it. Practical empathy is understanding your audience and imagining what they need, even if that means reinventing your offerings. It's a call to lead with both courage and care.     Running Time: 29:45    Subscribe on iTunes    Find Tiffani Online:  LinkedIn  Facebook       Find Seth Online:  Website   LinkedIn   Seth's Book:   The Corporate Startup

David unpacks the three “families” that shape a man: the one you're born into, the one you create, and the third family you must choose — a brotherhood that challenges and holds you accountable.

“Models are still the bread and butter in gravity and magnetics interpretation. Interpreters still have to condition the data properly, and that's half technical, half art.” Betty Johnson shares how her early career in gravity and magnetics grew from curiosity, hands‑on learning, and rapidly changing technology. She explains how potential field methods remain valuable for addressing energy, water, and climate challenges because they are affordable, scalable, and deeply rooted in Earth's history. Her reflections underscore the importance of high-quality data, solid fundamentals, and ongoing learning. KEY TAKEAWAYS > Gravity and magnetics remain essential because they are cost‑effective, scalable, and useful across many energy and environmental applications. > Strong fundamentals in physics, geology, and modeling help interpreters make better decisions and collaborate across disciplines. > Good data, field experience, and continuous learning are critical for building a long and impactful geophysics career.

This one is pure “Doctor Duo” improv: we start with a playful holiday question—are you naughty or nice?—and quickly turn it into a real conversation about duality, judgment, and why trying to be “good” all the time actually messes people up. The core message: you're not here to be one-sided. Healing (mentally, emotionally, physically, and even relationally) comes from seeing both sides of yourself and other people—without the guilt, shame, or performative “niceness.”   #IntegrativeMedicine #MindBodyConnection #EmotionalHealing #DemartiniMethod #Duality #ShadowWork #PersonalGrowthJourney #ConsciousParenting #HealthyRelationships #CommunicationSkills #NervousSystemHealing #TraumaHealing #HolisticHealth #FunctionalMedicine #SelfAwareness #HighPerformanceLiving #LegacyHealth #ValuesDrivenLiving #ConciergeMedicine #TheDoctorDuo   3 Key Takeaways: You're not one thing—ever. Trying to live as “only nice” or “only good” is a half-truth, and it creates internal stress. Real growth comes from integrating both sides (kind/firm, confident/humble, etc.). Judgment is a mirror. The traits you judge hardest in others are usually the traits you carry too—just expressed differently. That's why resentment can be such a powerful (and uncomfortable) teacher. Guilt + shame kill connection. Whether it's desires, fantasies, spending habits, or preferences—shaming your partner (or your kids) for what's real for them creates separation. Communication + curiosity creates closeness.    Quotes:  “It's impossible to live a one sided life. You know, you're not just nice, you're mean too.” “When you judge someone else, when you see something in someone else, it's only because you have that same trait—different form usually—but you have the same trait.”   Find Integrative You Radio On: Website Youtube  Apple Spotify   2 Doctors Committed to Innovating the Healthcare Experience.

QFF: Quick Fire Friday – Your 20-Minute Growth Powerhouse!   Welcome to Quick Fire Friday, the Grow A Small Business podcast series that is designed to deliver simple, focused and actionable insights and key takeaways in less than 20 minutes a week.   Every Friday, we bring you business owners and experts who share their top strategies for growing yourself, your team and your small business. Get ready for a dose of inspiration, one action you can implement and quotable quotes that will stick with you long after the episode ends!   In this episode of Quick Fire Friday, host Rob Cameron interviews Mike Goldman, leadership team coach and founder of The Better Leadership Team. Mike shares why most business growth problems are actually people problems — and how strong leadership teams fix them. They discuss stalled growth, rapid scaling challenges, and how to build teams that execute without constant micromanagement. Mike breaks down practical ways leaders can set clear expectations, coach effectively, and hold people accountable. A must-listen for business owners who want sustainable growth, higher profits, and a company that runs smoothly without burnout. Key Takeaways for Small Business Owners: People problems cause most growth problems — when progress stalls, the issue is usually leadership, structure, or talent, not strategy.   Strong leadership teams drive everything — as the leadership team performs, the rest of the business follows.   Clear expectations prevent poor results — unclear roles, behaviors, and success metrics always lead to disappointment. Our hero crafts outstanding reviews following the experience of listening to our special guests. Are you the one we've been waiting for?   Right people matter more than perfect strategy — even an average plan succeeds with the right team, while a great plan fails with the wrong one.   Growth requires structure, not hustle — fast-growing businesses collapse without clear roles, accountability, and discipline.   Great leaders coach, not just manage — consistent coaching and talent development turn average performers into top contributors. You Will Lose Some Clients — and That's Good: Raising prices naturally filters out low-value customers, making room for clients who appreciate and pay for quality.   One action small business owners can take: According to Mike Goldman, one action small business owners can take is to clearly define and document specific expectations and measures of success for each team member, then align on those expectations through open conversation so accountability, performance, and growth are no longer left to assumption.

What happens when supply finally stabilizes, demand shifts gears, and the global economy refuses to follow the script? In this year-end Outlook episode, AirDNA Chief Economist Jamie Lane sits down with Bram Gallagher to break down what actually happened in 2025 — and what STR hosts and property managers should prepare for in 2026.Together, they revisit last year's predictions on supply growth, occupancy, and pricing, grading where the industry hit the mark (and where reality surprised us). The conversation then looks forward, unpacking how macroeconomic forces — from inflation and interest rates to housing affordability and global travel trends — are shaping the next phase of the short-term rental market.The takeaway? 2026 may not be a breakout year, but it's a pivotal one. With supply re-accelerating, demand patterns evolving, and events like the World Cup looming large, this episode offers a grounded, data-backed roadmap for navigating what's ahead — especially for operators who are thinking strategically rather than reactively.You don't want to miss this episode!Key Takeaways for STR Hosts & OperatorsSupply has bottomed — and it's coming back. After slowing sharply in 2025, supply is expected to re-accelerate in 2026, especially in resort and suburban markets.Occupancy may soften slightly before rebounding. Supply could outpace demand in the short term, leading to modest occupancy pressure before conditions rebalance in 2027.Pricing power remains limited but stable. ADR growth should improve modestly, though most existing listings will need to hold rates steady rather than push aggressive increases.International demand is an X-factor. The 2026 World Cup could drive record inbound travel — but policy and sentiment will play a major role in how big that impact is.Experienced operators have the advantage. The next wave of supply growth is likely driven by more professional, intentional investors — raising the bar for performance and operations.Sign up for AirDNA for FREE

How to Run a Successful Family-Run Mobile Detailing Business & Get Customers Only on Facebook and No Website! In this inspiring discussion, Anthony Henderson of Better Than New Mobile Detailing in Louisville, KY, shares his unique, simplified approach to running a successful and profitable mobile detailing business—with his family by his side! Anthony is a rare example of an owner who has intentionally kept his business small and family-run to prioritize quality of life, including homeschooling his children, and he shares how his family is part of the detailing work. Key Takeaways for Detailers: Low Barrier to Entry: You can start a mobile detailing business with just $500 to $600 and a minivan. Facebook is Your Main Tool: Anthony gets consistent, daily work by running simple, targeted Facebook ads and manages all his bookings through Facebook Messenger, without needing a dedicated website or an email marketing list. He can book a customer in about a minute using a simple script. His first ads ran for just $5 a day and filled his calendar two weeks out with 3 or 4 appointments daily. Keep Your Eyes on Your Own Business: Anthony recommends focusing on what makes sense for your business and avoiding distraction by what other detailers are charging or doing, even blocking other detailers on his Facebook page to maintain focus. Keep Reviews On: He's one of the few detailers who keeps his Facebook reviews turned on, having over 500 reviews, which builds immediate trust with new customers. Marketing Tip: Anthony discusses using CapCut templates for creating quick, engaging before-and-after videos for organic content. Anthony proves that success isn't about scaling to an intimidating size with massive overhead and staff—it's about finding a simple, focused, and profitable system that works for you and your family. #MobileDetailingBusiness #FacebookMarketing #FamilyBusiness #EntrepreneurLife #SmallBusinessTips #CarDetailing #NoWebsiteNeeded #PricingStrategy #BetterThanNewMobileDetailing #WorkLifeBalance Calling All Detailers include Detailing Enthusiasts - DIY and Detail Professionals.

It's about love and the people around us.” — Sara ● “They've never met her, but my kids honor her.” — Sara ● “Grief is ugly… but I didn't want to live in a heart that was ugly.” — Sara ● “You can incorporate them. No one has to approve but you.” — Sara ● “While grief may change, love remains steady.” — Teresa

Katie Lefkowitz is a neuroscience-trained entrepreneur and the founder and CEO of Harken Foods who's reinventing candy with gut health at its core. In this episode, Katie reveals how her neuroscience background taught her to demand feedback systematically and observe behavior over words—skills that proved universal across consulting, scaling, and founding companies. She shares why she chose measured growth at Harken after experiencing Caulipower's explosive trajectory. Katie explains how the "seven questions framework" helps teams navigate the market's rapid shifts by keeping core values fixed while pivoting operational tactics. Discover practical approaches to data-driven decision-making, building authentic workplace culture, and leading through uncertainty without losing sight of core values. Find The Leadership Podcast episode 490 on YouTube, or wherever you get your podcasts! Watch this Episode on YouTube | Katie Lefkowitz on Reinventing Candy and Culture https://bit.ly/TLP-490 Key Takeaways [03:03] Katie explains her neuroscience background taught her the scientific method, helping evaluate questions less emotionally and with reduced bias. [04:05] Katie describes how all decisions need to be based in data, seeking feedback from every person on the Harken team. [05:44] Katie shares Harken was created after a health scare related to colon cancer introduced her to food as medicine. [07:25] Katie explains Caulipower grew as the fastest growing brand in all of CPG, but for Harken she wants to be more measured. [09:03] Katie confirms the Caulipower success gave her confidence to go at it alone with Harken. [09:48] Katie reflects on trying to be what she thought a leader looked like, being insecure about her age and gender. [11:45] Katie explains there will always be some imposter syndrome, but having Harken within her control has helped relieve that feeling. [13:20] Katie recalls a pitch where the first person said her product doesn't taste good, leaving her crying in the cab to the airport. [15:25] Katie describes watching if people take a second bite during tastings because behavior tells more than words. [16:36] Katie emphasizes listening more than talking as the key leadership lesson. [17:29] Katie explains the company uses Southwest Airlines' seven questions framework where core values don't change but goals and focus do. [19:05] Katie notes that running decisions through core values becomes second nature and prevents losing time on wrong priorities. [20:18] Katie states at their early stage it's about hiring people who believe in what they're doing because culture is what happens when she's not in the room. [21:44] Katie explains parents understand prioritization better because anything to get more time with their kid is of high value. [23:40] Katie reflects that taking pauses to pick up her kid allows her to process things better and make better decisions. [24:46] Katie advises knowing what motivates you—autonomy, mastery, purpose or status, wealth, power—and making decisions based on who you actually are. [27:41] And remember... "If there is no struggle, there is no progress." – Frederick Douglass Quotable Quotes "If you're not telling me I'm doing something wrong or questioning what I'm doing, very frequently, I'm gonna have a problem with that because there's no way that I'm doing everything right." "Listen more than you talk. You will always get a lot more from really hearing people than you're ever going to get from talking at them." "When you're just yourself, it actually comes off much more authentic. And it's those relationships that you're holding yourself back from if you're not able to be your full self." "Have confidence in yourself, own who you are. And it'll actually take you much further than trying to fit into some old mold." "All decisions just need to be based in data and not necessarily, you know, stories." "It's about keeping your core values and making sure that runs through every decision that you're making." "My time is my most valuable resource, not only to myself personally, but to the company." "Taking that pause actually allows me to process things much better. And having that breathing room, I think I just make better decisions." "Know what motivates you... Not who you want people to think you are, but who you actually are."

Joey Mure is the co-founder of Wealth Without Wall Street, a platform dedicated to helping people rethink traditional money advice and create passive income that gives people more control over their lives.  Once a high-earning corporate professional who felt constantly pulled away from his family, Joey now generates over $50,000 a month in passive income and guides others through the system for building passive income streams that helped him reclaim his time. Listen as he shares how he went from missing precious time with his five daughters to taking back his calendar through passive income.

Mari Llewellyn, co-founder of Bloom Nutrition, joins The Failure Factor to share the unpolished story behind building a wellness brand that grew from $5 fitness PDFs into a multi-category company selling nationwide at Target, Walmart, and beyond. Mari didn't set out to be an entrepreneur. After hitting a personal rock bottom in college, she rebuilt her confidence through fitness, consistency, and keeping small promises to herself. That personal transformation sparked an online community—one built on vulnerability, free value, and trust—long before Bloom ever existed. In this conversation, Mari reflects on the scrappy early days of selling digital products through Instagram DMs, launching supplements without outside capital, learning publicly, and navigating the pressure of being both founder and face of the brand. She also opens up about missteps, including products she chose to walk away from, scaling beyond her personal identity, and what it's been like to run a fast-growing company while going through IVF and redefining her priorities. This episode is a grounded look at building something meaningful without waiting to feel "ready."   Key Takeaways and Topics Rebuilding confidence after personal rock bottom Turning free content into sustainable business models Why she started with digital products, not physical ones Learning entrepreneurship without formal training The risks of being both founder and brand Starting before things feel "perfect" When to listen to feedback—and when to pivot Owning product mistakes publicly Scaling beyond a personal brand Navigating IVF while leading a company Letting seasons of life reshape leadership Why trust compounds faster than hype The Failure Factor Podcast was brought to you by Off The Field Coaching.

In this very special episode of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with Jake Gold, one of the most influential architects of Canadian music and the longtime manager behind The Tragically Hip. Jake takes listeners behind the curtain on what a music manager actually does, not as a hype man, but as the CEO of a complex business where touring, deals, team decisions, merchandising, data, and long term career strategy all run through one leader. He shares the moment he first saw The Tragically Hip live and knew instantly they had to be signed, plus how conviction, detail obsession, and a willingness to say no are what separate career building from chasing quick wins.This conversation is packed with crossover lessons for founders, CEOs, and business developers, especially around standards, positioning, and being relentlessly curious as the market changes. Jake breaks down why the music industry is bigger than ever, why direct to consumer and data matter, and why the barrier to entry being low does not change the one truth that decides everything: you still have to be great. Kelly also acknowledges the human side of legacy, including the grief the country felt around Gord Downie, and Jake shares how he stays grounded and sustainable across decades in a 24/7 industry, while hinting at meaningful plans ahead for what comes next.Key Takeaways: 1. You will know greatness when you feel it and it is an involuntary response, not a logical checklist. 2. Great careers are built by setting the real bar and realizing what “next level” actually looks like the first time you witness it. 3. A great manager is basically the CEO of the band's company, overseeing every revenue stream, cost, and decision with the artists as the board. 4. Sustainable performance comes from ruthless time protection: knowing when not to get involved, saying no, and avoiding time wasters. 5. If you do not believe in what you represent, you will eventually get bored and move on, so belief is the fuel of long term excellence. 6. The small stuff is the big stuff: details matter because this is the whole business and you do not get paid unless it works. 7. There is no plan B if you want career level outcomes, and if the artist or founder loses belief, the manager cannot save it. 8. Curiosity is a competitive advantage: keep learning, keep reading, and bring new ideas to the table even when you are the most experienced person in the room. 9. Data and direct fan connection are core now, and the winners will understand audiences, demographics, and DTC relationships better than ever. 10. In a world where anyone can publish, the filter is still the same: you have to be great, the cream rises, and longevity is the real proof.

This week, I'm sharing something special. I had the honor of guest hosting an episode of Solving America's Problems, the podcast hosted by Dave Conley and Jerremy Newsome—and we dove deep into the energy of money, mindset, leadership, and what's really needed to create change. Jerremy shares his inspiring story of growing up in poverty in rural Georgia and building a life of abundance through stock market investing—sparked, believe it or not, by watching Forrest Gump at age six. But this conversation is about way more than money. We talk about trust, commitment, education, hunger, and how our relationship with money reflects so much of how we live. If you're craving a new way to think about wealth, worthiness, or how to use what you have to help others—this one is for you. 3 Key Takeaways: 1. Money Reflects How We Trust Your financial habits mirror your ability to commit and trust—yourself and others. 2. Investing Can Be Simple You don't need to be an expert. Start small. Invest in what you know. Be consistent. 3. Mindset Shifts Everything Gratitude, curiosity, and clear conversations help solve both personal and collective problems.

In this episode, The Annuity Man discussed:  Seeing through product-driven Roth pitches Recognizing political risk in long-term tax planning Keeping conversions separate from annuity products Avoiding shiny-object sales tactics   Key Takeaways:  Treat Roth conversions as tax decisions rather than annuity strategies. Rely on math and tax guidance instead of sales-driven framing. Understand that tax-free structures like Roths can face future policy shifts. Plan with awareness that political changes may affect long-term assumptions. Run conversion numbers independently of any annuity recommendation. Evaluate tax impact, break-even timing, and personal comfort before acting. Watch for bonuses, churning, and pressure to "flip" existing annuities. Focus on guarantees, documentation, and advice from qualified tax professionals.   "You should never do a Roth conversion without talking to a Certified Financial Planner, a CPA, or tax lawyer.

Join Our FREE Start Repairing Credit Challenge: http://startrepairingcredit.com/I once got evicted even though I did nothing wrong… I always paid my rent on time, I fixed everything myself, and I never caused any trouble. But my landlord still kicked me out just so that he could raise the rent. The court gave me a week to move, but I was leaving for a gig two days later, so effectively I only had 24 hours to pack everything and find a new place. When I finally thought this nightmare was over, it wasn't! Months later, I learned that the eviction was still following me. It was hiding in a public record that I didn't even know existed. That experience changed everything for me, because I realized how many people are still stuck in that same nightmare today. So today, I'm going to show you the six hidden databases landlords use, how to pull reports from each of them, and the exact three-step legal process to remove them for good. Tune in!Key Takeaways:00:00 Intro 02:21 Where Is Your Eviction Hiding? 03:49 The 6 Hidden Bureaus Landlords Use 04:51 How to Remove Eviction Records in 3 Steps 06:25 2 Bonus Strategies 07:20 My Final Point 08:02 OutroAdditional Resources:Get a free trial to Credit Repair CloudGet my free credit repair training  Credit Score 101: Everything You Need to KnowMake sure to subscribe so you stay up to date with our latest episodes.

In this episode, The Annuity Man and Michael Finke discuss:  Annuities are more attractive today  Protecting your future lifestyle  Cutting little slices from the birthday cake There's no perfect product to solve for inflation   Key Takeaways:  At the time of this episode's taping, near-retirees can lock in 5.2% on five-year MYGAs for the next five years; however, it may go up or down.  When buying an annuity, you're buying yourself a minimum standard of living forever, no matter how long you live. You have to choose if you want to shoulder the risk or transfer it. Your future lifestyle is at stake.  It's not going to be easy, but you must first recognize that you're not going to live forever. You have to decide how you could spread out your savings to accommodate your lifestyle until you die, or if you want to spend more money to have less worry.  If you can be more flexible, then inflation's impact won't be that big of a deal. Also, there's no perfect product to solve for inflation. There are options that could help you have some stability through it, like Social Security and I Bonds.    "If we model out 1000 different potential retirements, the ones who will have an annuity will, on average, be happier, but the ones with an investment portfolio might have a slightly higher probability of success. But there is no information about what failure means." —  Michael Finke    Connect With Michael Finke: Website: http://www.michaelfinke.com/  LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-finke-8134808/  Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mfinke  Twitter: https://twitter.com/FinkeonFinance    Connect with The Annuity Man:  Website: http://theannuityman.com/  Email: Stan@TheAnnuityMan.com  Book: Owner's Manuals: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/how-do-annuities-work YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCCXKKxvVslbeGAlEc5sra2g  Get a Quote Today: https://www.stantheannuityman.com/annuity-calculator!

As healthcare systems worldwide face rising costs, workforce shortages, and increasing pressure to balance quality with financial sustainability, traditional classroom-based management education is struggling to keep pace. According to the World Economic Forum, healthcare spending now accounts for nearly 10% of global GDP, making leadership decision-making more consequential—and more complex—than ever. At the same time, educators and executives alike are searching for ways to prepare leaders for real-world uncertainty, not just theoretical case studies.So how do you train healthcare leaders to make better decisions when the stakes are high, the data is imperfect, and the environment is constantly changing?That's the core question explored in the latest episode of I Don't Care, hosted by Dr. Kevin Stevenson, featuring Jeremy Lovelace, Founding Director of HFX Technologies Group. Stevenson and Lovelace dive into how simulation-based healthcare management education is reshaping the way future and current healthcare leaders learn strategy, finance, and human-centered decision-making—across borders, systems, and sectors.Key Takeaways from the Conversation…Simulation over static cases: Dynamic, financially driven simulations provide a more realistic and measurable way to train healthcare decision-makers than traditional case competitions or lectures.Global adaptability: A simulation originally modeled on a leading Brazilian hospital has proven effective across diverse systems, including U.S. health systems, European providers, and the UK's NHS.Human skills under pressure: Beyond financial metrics, simulations reveal leadership gaps in teamwork, stress management, and judgment under uncertainty—often the most powerful learning outcomes.Jeremy Lovelace is the Founding Director of HFX Technologies Group, a firm specializing in simulation-based training for strategic and financial decision-making. With a background in management consulting and decision science, Lovelace has worked extensively with universities, healthcare organizations, and public-sector institutions across Europe, the Americas, and beyond. His work includes partnerships with global business schools such as University College London and simulations inspired by top-tier healthcare institutions like Hospital Israelita Albert Einstein in Brazil. Lovelace holds an MBA and brings decades of experience in leadership development, education technology, and applied strategy.
