De-escalating High-Conflict Divorce: A Rabbi's Perspective on Finding PeaceRabbi Avi Kahan joins Seth Nelson and Pete Wright to explore how de-escalation techniques and cultural sensitivity can help families reach sustainable resolutions during divorce. As a mediator handling complex religious and cultural divorce cases, Rabbi Kahan brings unique insights into managing high-conflict situations and helping couples transition from being spouses to successful co-parents.The conversation delves deep into how fear and conflict often mask deeper emotional struggles during divorce. Seth and Pete explore with Rabbi Kahan how the legal system's focus on "fairness" can sometimes escalate tensions, while religious and cultural perspectives might offer alternative paths to resolution. They discuss how divorce doesn't actually separate parents—it unifies them in a new way as co-parents, requiring them to articulate a new future together for their children's sake.Questions we answer in this episode:How can you de-escalate high-conflict divorce situations?What role does "fairness" really play in divorce proceedings?How can religious perspectives help in understanding divorce as transformation rather than failure?Key Takeaways:Focus on living your life, not your divorce—don't let temporary legal proceedings define your actionsDe-escalation often requires helping both parties want the divorce, not just need itCourt litigation can force parents to suppress their authentic selves, potentially harming childrenThe episode offers valuable insights for anyone navigating a contentious divorce, especially those dealing with cultural or religious complexities. Rabbi Kahan's perspective on viewing divorce as a unifying rather than separating force provides a fresh framework for approaching this challenging life transition. Links & NotesVisit Rabbi Avi Kahan on the web, Instagram, LinkedIn, or YouTubeSchedule a consult with SethGot a question you want to ask on the show?

Scale Without the Stress with Nick Keesey   Ever feel like your business is running you instead of the other way around? You're not alone—and today's guest proves it's possible to escape that trap and scale with less stress and more profit. Nick Keesey is a battle-tested entrepreneur who's built multiple 6- and 7-figure businesses—and burned a few to the ground along the way. But instead of staying down, Nick turned failure into fuel, discovering how organization, clarity, and ruthless focus are the keys to sustainable business growth. If you've ever struggled with shiny object syndrome, burnout, or scaling chaos—this episode is your wake-up call. We dig into the exact mindset shifts and strategic frameworks that helped Nick (and now his clients) go from “overwhelmed operator” to “organized owner.”   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why most entrepreneurs fail not from lack of opportunity—but from lack of focus. How to identify the offer that's working (and stop pivoting away from it!). The organizational strategy Nick uses to turn ideas into systems and profits.  The #1 mental shift that separates 7-figure business owners from burnout-prone hustlers. How to step back, see the big picture, and build a business that aligns with your life—not just your P&L.   Key Takeaways:  Focus is Fuel: If you're always chasing the next opportunity, you'll miss the one right in front of you. Lock in on what's working and double down. Burnout = Misalignment: Too many owners scale offers they secretly hate. Nick reminds us—if you don't like your business, it won't last. Organize to Optimize: Business chaos isn't a badge of honor. It's a profit leak. Systems, structure, and space to think are your unfair advantages. See Beyond the Bank Account: Money problems keep you short-sighted. Clear the fog with a strategic plan that connects day-to-day tasks to long-term vision.   Meet Nick Keesey: Nick Keesey is a serial entrepreneur who's built (and lost) multiple six- and seven-figure businesses. His background in home organization translated perfectly into the entrepreneurial world—where clutter, chaos, and confusion kill momentum. Nick helps entrepreneurs cut the noise, simplify operations, and build scalable businesses that align with their personal goals. If your business feels overwhelming, Nick has a blueprint for clarity.   Conclusion: Don't Scale a Business You Hate If you're scaling without a strategy or ignoring the warning signs of burnout, today's episode is your permission slip to stop… and rethink everything. Nick's journey proves that chaos is optional—and profitability comes when you align focus, structure, and purpose.   Links: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nickkeesey/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickkeesey/ https://premierclosers.com/   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

In this solo episode, Jenny Mitchell takes listeners deep into one of the most critical skills every leader must master: the ability to prioritize with clarity and conviction. Drawing inspiration from Gary Keller's book The One Thing, Jenny explores how simplification is not a sign of weakness, but a strategic power move. She shares personal stories — like the shift from pedaling faster to pedaling smarter — and explains how true leadership begins when we train our attention on high-value tasks, streamline operations, and boldly say no to what no longer serves our purpose. Jenny also breaks down the common growth cycle leaders face: Grow → Plateau → Streamline → Reflect → Grow Again, emphasizing the need to pause and assess before scaling.   Key Takeaways: Focus on what matters most – Not everything is equal; prioritize high-impact tasks. Simplify and streamline – Reduce complexity to boost efficiency and clarity. Invest energy strategically – Choose where to focus your time and attention. Let go to grow – Release what no longer serves you to make space for progress. Stay adaptable and well – Embrace change and support productivity with habits like exercise and visualization.   Chapters: 00:00 Finding Your One Thing 02:50 The Importance of Simplification 06:02 Streamlining for Success 08:53 Prioritizing High-Value Tasks 12:01 The Power of Focus and Attention 14:50 Visualizing Success 18:14 Making Strategic Choices 21:09 Embracing Change and Growth   If you loved this episode, you'll also enjoy: Episode 6.1 - UNCUT: https://chavender.com/underdog-leadership-podcast/uncut-episode-6-1/  Episode 4.8 - Goodbye to Perfection, Hello to Flourishing with Homaira Kabir: https://open.spotify.com/episode/4RNZUB4GwYH1xQNRIRl8Ct?si=5FlTY5w0QoygLxqLGEXVlA  Episode 4.1 - Giving Yourself Permission to Do the Big Thing: https://open.spotify.com/episode/0Z8LsituOzOpjfcx1xDMTs?si=kbwU1zI6TQScmHYnVWWTEA  — ✨Buy the Embracing Ambition Book: https://chavender.com/embracing-ambition-the-book/   Book a discovery call: https://calendly.com/jennychavender/30min?back=1&month=2022-09 Lean into Meaningful Conversations with this complimentary 20 minute video all about the tools and techniques for moving conversations forward: https://youtu.be/zv1N_ZsDEAs Don't miss an episode by joining my Podcast VIP Email List: https://chavender.activehosted.com/f/27 Catch me on email: jenny@chavender.com Check out my website: chavender.com Hop on over to Instagram: @jennychavender Let's connect on LinkedIn: Jenny Mitchell, CFRE, CEC, DMA   "See" me on Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0Q97-c98aPUmfhzlpswfsw

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee explores the key to making oneself truly bookable and marketable in any industry. Kicking off with an anecdote about mentoring an aspiring speaker, Baylor draws a crucial distinction between those who seek quick success and those dedicated to genuine growth. He emphasizes the importance of becoming 'bookable' by mastering one's craft and cultivating a profound knowledge base that underpins every public engagement. Baylor sheds light on the importance of building strong foundations through relentless self-improvement and research. He shares personal anecdotes about the lengths he goes to in order to understand new concepts deeply, which translates into effective public speaking. Highlighting the importance of focusing on personal development over immediate financial gains, he stresses the development of habits that lead to lasting success and sustainable growth. Using examples like comedians perfecting their routines over many small shows, Baylor illustrates how dedication to mastering the finer details elevates professionals to greatness. This episode is an enlightening guide on transforming interest and passion into lasting success through unwavering dedication and continuous learning. Key Takeaways: Focus on Becoming Bookable: Prioritize mastering your craft and building a substantial knowledge base to attract authentic opportunities. Personal Growth Over Immediate Gains: Develop habits and systems for long-term success rather than focusing solely on financial aspects. Relentless Learning: Commitment to continuous learning and research is essential to offering quality content that resonates with audiences. Admiring Expertise: Being a fan of others' expertise can inspire personal growth and appreciation for excellence in any field. The Process of Mastery: Understand that perfection comes from practicing, learning, and refining your skills and knowledge over time. Notable Quotes: "You're asking the wrong question. You're asking how to get booked. But what you should be asking is how to become bookable?" "A true expert can make everything in life seem so simple." "People that are committed to the process of it, people that are committed to the habits of becoming better, are people that you can bet on in life." "If you're in a situation to be around somebody you look up to, ask questions that propel your growth, not that propel your bank account." "We live in a world where everybody wants to be the superstar, everybody wants to be the hero, but it's okay to admire what they do."

Simon outlines a straightforward five-step process to help you find and secure your next property deal. He explains the importance of identifying motivated sellers, who are more likely to be flexible on price and terms, and stresses the need to quickly run the numbers to determine if a property is a good investment before arranging a viewing. It's packed with practical advice for both novice and experienced property investors looking to enhance their strategies and achieve better results. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on identifying sellers who have a property-related problem and are motivated to sell. This can lead to better deals, such as discounts or flexible terms. Before investing time in viewings, quickly assess whether a property is a good investment by calculating cash flow and return on investment to ensure it meets personal investing criteria. Only arrange viewings for properties where the numbers work and the seller is motivated. This helps build rapport and allows for better negotiation opportunities. Always put in an offer for properties you view, even if the initial offer is rejected. This opens the door for negotiation and can lead to better terms. Recognise that a rejection does not mean a deal is off the table forever. Follow up regularly with sellers to maintain interest and potentially secure a deal later on. BEST MOMENTS "Step number one, we need to learn how to find motivated sellers. They're people who've got a property related problem." "In just five minutes, we can work out what's the cash flow, what's the return on investment, and is this going to meet our personal investing criteria?" "We want them to reject the first offer we make... we want them to counter offer to see if you can get anywhere close to the price you were suggesting." "If you want to be a truly successful property investor, you need to recognise that actually, no doesn't mean no, never. It just means no, not now." "Investing in property is not easy, but it's very straightforward, and this five-step process is gonna save you a huge amount of time."

In this episode we talk about how important it is to focus on personal growth after infidelity rather than fixating on the actions of the partner. We need to prioritize self-healing, understanding the true nature of remorse, and the significance of moving forward rather than trying to return to the past. Key Takeaways: Focus on personal growth rather than the partner's actions. The decision to stay or go should not be the first question. Remorse from a partner does not equate to personal healing. Healing is not contingent on the partner's regret or recognition. Self-care and personal needs should take precedence over monitoring the partner's change. Moving forward is essential; returning to the past is not an option. Trusting oneself is more powerful than surveillance. Liberation from dependency on others is key to healing. Ask yourself who you are becoming in the healing process. This experience can sharpen important aspects of your character.

She introduces seven key areas to help leaders focus on what truly matters, including being ruthless with your time, implementing time blocking for deep work, optimising meetings, delegating effectively, leveraging technology and automation, protecting personal well-being, and committing to continuous learning KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on what is truly important rather than getting caught up in urgent tasks that may not add strategic value.

His approach emphasizes creating realistic prototypes and fostering early customer interactions to validate business models, ensuring that startups can efficiently and accurately meet market demands.

Early sales are important to validate the business model and confirm product-market fit. Prototyping with high-fidelity prototypes helps in assessing customer interest and identifying issues early on. Crafting product demos focused on solving immediate problems helps in achieving product-market fit. Detailed metrics, Kanban methodology, and constant releases are essential for accuracy and efficiency in software development projects. Tracking estimates and actuals, spending time in prototyping, and detailed scope management are key for project success.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee shares insights on building effective habits and achieving personal goals. By adopting a methodical approach to self-improvement, Baylor advocates for the power of focusing on one habit each quarter, effectively allowing individuals to incorporate four new habits into their lives every year. The episode explores the benefits of not waiting for new year resolutions but rather starting whenever you feel the need for change, highlighting Baylor's own journey of consistently walking 10,000 steps each day. This achievement culminates in a remarkable 100-day streak resulting in over a million steps, demonstrating the power of consistency in leading to significant change. Baylor emphasizes that true personal growth doesn't need to be an arduous process; rather, it requires deliberate actions and small, consistent efforts. He reveals how breaking seemingly large goals into manageable tasks can result in substantial transformations over time. For instance, his commitment to daily steps led to a weight loss of 25 pounds without drastic changes or overwhelming workouts. Listeners are encouraged to apply similar methodologies by setting deliberate, incremental goals and resisting the urge to overthink their endeavors. Through this pragmatic approach, anyone can achieve their desired outcomes, building what Baylor refers to as "mental metals" — personal achievements that, while perhaps unnoticed by the outside world, are immensely satisfying and rewarding. Key Takeaways: Focus on building one new habit each quarter to gradually incorporate positive changes into your life. Consistency leads to significant results, as evidenced by Baylor's 100-day streak of walking 10,000 steps daily. Avoid overthinking goal-setting; instead, commit to small, deliberate actions that contribute to long-term success. Utilize the concept of "mental metals" to acknowledge personal triumphs which bolster self-confidence and resilience. Breaking down larger goals into manageable tasks can make them less daunting and more achievable over time. Notable Quotes: "If you just focus on one thing per quarter, that habit eventually gets to a thing where you don't think about it." "I'm here to tell you, if you commit to it, if you really want it bad enough, there's time to do whatever it is that you want in life." "It doesn't have to be hard, it just has to be deliberate." "Everything in life is figureoutable." "Mental medals are those that nobody gives you credit for, the things that nobody cares about but you."

Angela talks to Leslie Kenny, about the fascinating world of longevity and health optimisation. Leslie, a renowned expert in the field, shares her personal journey of reversing her biological age to 21 at the age of 59, focussing upon the importance of a multifactorial approach to aging that includes diet, movement, sleep, and social connection. Together Angela and Leslie discuss the often-overlooked significance of sleep and social interactions, as well as the role of the microbiome in health. Leslie also introduces the powerful compound spermidine, found in various plant-based foods, and its benefits for autophagy, immune health, and even hair pigmentation KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on diet, movement, sleep, and social connection to optimise health and longevity. Prioritising sleep is particularly crucial for reducing risks associated with Alzheimer's and dementia. Each individual has a unique microbiome influenced by their ancestry, which affects how they process different foods. Identifying and removing personal dietary "kryptonite" (foods that trigger negative responses) while incorporating beneficial foods is essential for optimal health. This compound, found in various plant-based foods, activates autophagy, a cellular renewal process. Increasing spermidine intake can support gut health, immune function, and even hair pigmentation by promoting the growth phase of hair follicles. Fasting can have different effects on men and women, particularly during perimenopause. Women may experience negative hormonal changes and stress responses from prolonged fasting, making it essential to find alternative ways to stimulate autophagy, such as through spermidine supplementation. BEST MOMENTS "Aging is a multifactorial problem, so it needs to be solved with a multifactorial approach. Focus on these four pillars: diet, movement, sleep, and social connection." "The more plants we can get into our diet, the better, both for fiber and because there are lots of polyphenols... spermidine activates that cell renewal process known as autophagy." "The greater the diversity of the gut biome, the healthier the person is, the more resilient the microbiome is and able to respond to challenges." "When we think about fasting... it isn't always suitable for women, particularly those in high-stress jobs or going through perimenopausal transition."

Refusing to accept this prognosis, she transformed her health by eliminating inflammatory triggers and supporting her body’s natural healing. Now 59, she has the biological age of 21, is autoimmune disease-free, and naturally conceived at 43. Empowered by her health journey, she returned to school, became a certified Bulletproof coach and began working with Oxford University scientists, helping them raise funding for their groundbreaking research. In a meeting with Professor Katja Simon, she discovered spermidine, a powerful, natural compound dubbed as an “anti-aging vitamin” and found to “delay aging in humans” through its ability to activate autophagy (cell renewal) and target key aging pathways. Recognizing its potential, she founded Oxford Healthspan, launching Primeadine®, a plant-derived spermidine supplement, with the highest quality, Japanese ingredients and the backing of top scientific and clinical advisors. She also collaborated with University of Oxford academics to co-found a non-profit organization, called the Oxford Longevity Project, dedicated to educating the public on easy, actionable ways to improve their healthspan and longevity. oxfordhealthspan.com lesliesnewprime.com oxfordlongevityproject.org https://www.instagram.com/oxfordhealthspan/ https://www.instagram.com/lesliesnewprime/ https://www.instagram.com/oxfordlongevityproject/ ABOUT THE HOST Angela Foster is an award winning Nutritionist, Health & Performance Coach, Speaker and Host of the High Performance Health podcast.

In this episode of the Especially for Athletes Podcast, Shad and Dustin tackle an important issue facing fan bases in sports: how can student sections bring energy, passion, and excitement to the game without crossing the line into hatred, disrespect, or contempt? The discussion stems from a recent incident where the University of Arizona’s student section targeted BYU with hateful chants. This is not an isolated case, and it’s a reminder of how fan behavior can sometimes undermine the positive energy that sports should promote. Shad and Dustin break down how student sections can keep the focus on cheering for their own team and lifting their athletes instead of tearing down the opponent. The episode also explores how athletes themselves can set the tone for their fans by leading with respect for the game, the officials, and the opponent. By playing with class, athletes can encourage their fan base to do the same. Key Takeaways: Focus energy on supporting your team, not tearing down the opponent. Noise is great, but personal insults cross the line into contempt. Athletes, your actions set the tone for your fans—compete with respect and sportsmanship. Join Shad as he emphasizes the importance of creating an environment where competition and respect can coexist, and how to lead with love and positivity in the stands and on the field.

In this captivating episode of the "Shark Theory" podcast, Baylor Barbee passionately discusses the importance of focusing on individual contributions rather than being swayed by the chaos of the media and external distractions. As someone who recently released a book on confidence, Baylor sheds light on how building personal assurance is a learned skill and a powerful asset in navigating today's world. Equipped with insightful anecdotes and practical advice, this episode positions individuals to take proactive steps toward steering their own life's course. Baylor Barbee underscores the societal pressure to be involved in every cause and movement but advises against succumbing to the constant noise produced by media outlets. Instead, he advocates for honing one's work ethic and contributions to society, underscoring that every role is significant. The episode bridges themes of personal development and productive focus, encouraging listeners to align their actions and energies with their immediate communities. Highlighting the fairness found in chaotic situations, Baylor reveals how being prepared and confident allows for success amidst turmoil. This inspiring narrative aims to motivate individuals to take control of their lives, foster confidence, and contribute meaningfully to the world. Key Takeaways: Focus on personal contributions rather than getting overwhelmed by external distractions and media chaos. Confidence is a learned skill that can be developed and is essential for seizing opportunities. During chaos, those who are prepared and focused can find unique opportunities for growth and success. It's vital to determine whether one's actions contribute to meaningful change or merely add to the noise. Taking control of your life requires transitioning from a passive observer to an active driver on your life's journey. Notable Quotes: “The reason I don't know what's happening out there is because I focus on how I can make the world a better place.” “If you can control what you are doing right now in your life, that's what matters.” “You don't just keep looking at the finish line when you're so far away.” “Chaos makes everything fair.” “Put yourself in the driver's seat of your own life.”

The significance of starting with guaranteed pay structures for new salespeople can prevent attrition and financial hardship, ensuring a fairer and more supportive work environment. Spiffs and spins represent lucrative supplemental income opportunities that can boost earnings when appropriately targeted and leveraged. The world of car sales is complex, with compensation plans that require more than just a basic understanding to truly maximize one's earnings potential. In a recent discussion featuring LA Williams and Sean V. Bradley, these intricacies were explored in-depth, unveiling crucial insights into how auto sales professionals can decode their pay plans and work their strategies effectively to bolster their earnings. Key themes emerged from this discussion that shed light on not only understanding but also maneuvering through pay plans to realize better financial outcomes.   Demystifying Automotive Pay Plans For the newcomer or even seasoned veteran in car sales, a pay plan is often shrouded in mystery. Sean V. Bradley argues that, "It's not about the pay plan… but the dealership that you're at." This sets the tone for understanding that environment and opportunity sometimes outweigh a perfect commission structure. When contemplating a position, one should probe beyond superficial numbers and consider the dealership's overall ethos and opportunity for personal growth. Bradley emphasizes not settling for flat fee structures in favor of opportunities to earn on gross, either on the front or back-end. "If you've got the skills to pay the bills," leveraging a dealership that allows for gross-based commissions can be increasingly rewarding. However, accessing back-end gross (percentages of financial products sold) requires understanding and capitalizing on additional compensation streams like aftermarket parts and warranty products. As he explains, "Don't get distracted with the carrot… Find the best deal for you." This journey begins with choosing the right kind of dealership—one where strategies align with incentive structures to work your pay plan comprehensively. The roadmap includes understanding potential spins and spiffs and looking beyond immediate numbers.   The Importance of Guaranteed Income for New Salespeople Transition periods for new salespeople can be turbulent without a guaranteed pay structure. Such structures allow for "proper training, strategy, and opportunity" before plunging into a commission-only environment—a space where new hires often find themselves underwater without training pay. Understanding the nuance between a draw and guaranteed pay can ward off future stress. At some dealerships, "you could owe the dealership money," creating the undesirable cycle of jumping from dealership to dealership. Establishing a knowledge base and advocating for fairer, initial compensation ensures not only individual success but sustainability for dealerships in reducing turnover. Williams expounds on this notion by suggesting questions candidates should explore during interviews. Questions encompassing what the guarantee entails and policies regarding training pay ensure new hires are not disadvantaged in unfamiliar territory. Emphasizing, "I want to educate myself on how to work and understand you; help me understand so I can work my own plan, which in turn serves the dealership," provides a roadmap to this common challenge.   Leveraging Spiffs and Spins for Additional Profit Supplementing income intelligently through spiffs and spins is a game-changing opportunity for profit maximization. Traditionally, spiffs act as quick incentives for additional tasks or goals inside a dealership, often embracing creative configurations beyond merely selling units. Spins, a domain exclusive to franchise dealerships, offer an entirely separate avenue through manufacturer-backed commissions—encouraging variety and volume in sales pushes. Bradley notes, "I used to make thousands and thousands of dollars extra. It's like supplemental income." Savvy salespeople learn to utilize CRM tools to drill down into customer databases and strategically target high-spin vehicles or special categories yielding these fruits. The key is knowledge-sharing and staff empowerment, ensuring a clear understanding of potential earnings. Dealerships, in turn, fortify their workforce by building trust, offering consistent information flows, and aligning staff incentives with dealership goals—ultimately creating a culture that thrives on success. Through an intrinsic understanding of pay plan workings, including guarantees, spiffs, spins, dealer strategies, and personal goals, sales professionals navigate toward success. In the ever-evolving automotive landscape, this knowledge not only benefits individuals but ultimately propels dealerships into prosperous, symbiotic relationships with their staff. In a world where the typical salesperson is making a base average yet someone like Cody Carter—a figure showcased within their industry context—is realizing million-dollar earnings, comprehension of these themes promises a pathway to exceptional industry success. Understanding the vast opportunities within car sales pay plans dictates a salesperson's financial trajectory far more than mere percentages on paper might first suggest.     Resources: Podium: Discover how Podium's innovative AI technology can unlock unparalleled efficiency and drive your dealership's sales to new heights.

Hey y'all, it's Michelle Lynne here! Happy New Year, and welcome to the first episode of 2025 on Design for the Creative Mind! I'm kicking off this year with a theme that I think we all need: how to select and secure new clients. After a challenging 2024, where client inquiries slowed down and timelines stretched longer than usual, I've learned a lot about pivoting and simplifying sales and marketing processes. In this episode, I'm sharing the key lessons and strategies my team at ML Interiors Group implemented—and what's working as we head into 2025. Here's What You'll Learn in This Episode: Adjusting to Longer Sales Cycles We noticed that signing a client took 6–8 weeks instead of 3–4 weeks. I'll share how we adapted, including breaking projects into phases to meet clients where they are financially. The Power of Automation From automated email reminders to streamlining communication through SideMark (our software platform), we've enhanced professionalism, built excitement, and made appointment confirmations a breeze. Done is Better Than Perfect Discover how we refined our design presentations to save time while still delivering a stellar client experience—and increased our margins in the process. Why Social Media Still Matters Yes, social media can feel overwhelming and outdated. But it's a powerful gateway to building your email list (where the real magic happens). I'll explain how using the E.I.E.I.O. method (Educate, Inform, Entertain, Inspire, Opt-in) keeps your audience engaged and drives results. Owning Your Money Mindset Your clients' financial stories aren't the same as yours. Luxury clients value time-saving solutions—and your expertise is a significant part of that value. Key Takeaways: Focus on what you can control—your mindset, processes, and client communication. Social media doesn't need to be perfect. Be yourself, and your ideal clients will find you. Use freemiums or lead magnets (like guides or checklists) to build your email list. Pro tip: Offer something valuable that isn't easily found on Google or Pinterest. I'll be breaking down more sales and marketing strategies in future episodes, including tips for email marketing and SEO.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," hosted by Baylor Barbee, the conversation revolves around the theme of setting and achieving goals, particularly tracking the progress of New Year's resolutions. As many people face the struggle of maintaining their resolutions, Baylor offers fresh perspectives on implementing sustainable changes by breaking down overwhelming goals into manageable tasks. His advice is underscored by personal anecdotes and methodical approaches for cultivating habits over time. The focal point of the discussion highlights the pitfalls of setting too many changes at once and the importance of prioritizing sustainable habits. Throughout the episode, Baylor encourages listeners to focus on consistency, noting the transformation of tasks into habits when approached with diligence and patience. By emphasizing the significance of making one's word meaningful to oneself, he draws attention to the journey of self-trust and the power it can harness in bolstering confidence. This episode not only guides listeners on maintaining resolutions but also stresses the impact of aligning one's actions with personal integrity and discipline. Key Takeaways: Focus on a few small, manageable changes rather than trying to overhaul your entire life overnight. Consider developing new habits for each quarter of the year to ensure a sustainable approach to self-improvement. Understand the difference between tasks and habits, and work toward integrating tasks into your subconscious routine. Recognize the importance of upholding your commitments to yourself to build self-trust and confidence. Acknowledge that some tasks might be challenging and embrace the process without relying solely on quick fixes or life hacks. Notable Quotes: "A habit is something that you don't think about. It's a habitual action." "Sometimes in life there is no hack. Sometimes you just have to embrace the fact that what you're trying to do sucks." "We have to start making our word mean something to the person in the mirror." "If you can start to trust yourself, then you start to believe in yourself." "My word is going to mean something. If I said I'm going to get my 10,000 steps, then I'm going to get my 10,000 steps."

This episode serves as a rallying cry for leaders to embrace genuine connections and inspire their teams to navigate change effectively. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on People-Centric Leadership: The defining leadership challenge for 2025 is leading people through change. Successful leadership hinges on the ability to connect with and empower individuals, fostering understanding, trust, and commitment. Engage the Head, Heart, and Hands: Effective leadership requires engaging people intellectually (head), emotionally (heart), and practically (hands). This holistic approach ensures that change is not just implemented but embraced. Tailor Communication: Understanding the unique needs, motivations, and challenges of team members is crucial. Leaders should ask better questions and communicate transparently to build trust and ensure everyone feels valued. Break Down Silos: Collaboration across teams and functions is essential for successful change. Leaders must encourage teamwork and collective progress, moving away from siloed thinking to a shared vision and purpose. Balance Technology with Humanity: While technology can enhance efficiency, it cannot replace the human touch necessary for effective leadership. Leaders should use technology to support communication and foster critical thinking, creativity, and collaboration. BEST MOMENTS "The defining leadership challenge for 2025 is leading people through change. It’s about people because leaders are people in change." "Engaging the head, heart, and hands of your people ensures that change isn't just implemented, it is embraced." "Connection is more than a buzzword. It's the foundation of effective leadership and successful transformation." "You need to tailor your communication to meet them where they are, considering their unique needs, motivations, and challenges."

Jeannette looks at the art of setting achievable goals for 2025. Emphasising the importance of transforming dreams into actionable plans, she covers a structured approach to goal-setting that includes reflecting on one's big picture vision, engaging in self-reflection, and establishing clear, measurable objectives. KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on establishing specific, actionable goals rather than vague New Year's resolutions. This approach increases the likelihood of achieving desired outcomes. Utilise a yearly goal planner to outline your big picture vision, engage in self-reflection, and set concrete goals and objectives for the year ahead. Self-reflection is crucial for personal growth. Assess your strengths, values, and past performance to inform your future goals and ensure they align with who you are. Consider various aspects of life when setting goals, including personal development, health and fitness, financial objectives, and giving back to the community. BEST MOMENTS "Dreams, if they're not backed up with goals and super important action, then they are just dreams." "You cannot drive a car by looking through the rearview mirror. However, we can most definitely learn from our past experiences that will help catapult us forward into the future." "What are your giving goals? Every single one of us can give... sometimes it doesn't even cost you any money." "You have to take the action, to take massive action. Even if it's baby steps, that's fine, but take the action." This is the perfect time to get focused on what YOU want to really achieve in your business, career, and life. It’s never too late to be BRAVE and BOLD and unlock your inner BRILLIANT.

They dive deep into the core principles of sustainable health and fitness, sharing practical strategies to help you crush your goals without the overwhelm.

In the pursuit of wealth and success, it is easy to become engrossed in conventional wisdom and the pressure to comply with industry standards. True success, on the other hand, is frequently characterized by your ability to stand out rather than fit in. Long-term success is based on a strong blend of competence and authenticity. The world is hungry for people who are genuinely skilled and capable, and if you can consistently deliver on your promises, you can carve out a distinct place for yourself, even if your approach is unconventional. Today, we are joined by Eric Jorgenson to talk about how to get rich without getting lucky.  Eric is the CEO of Scribe Media, the largest Professional Publisher. Scribe helps entrepreneurs, executives, and experts write, publish, and market their books. Eric is the author of  The Almanack of Naval Ravikant, A Guide to Wealth and Happiness, and The Anthology of Balaji. He has sold over 1 million copies. He is also an investor in dozens of deep-tech startups through Rolling Fun. Eric writes at ejorgenson.com and hosts the podcast, Smart Friends. His blog has educated and entertained more than one million readers since 2014. He is on a quest to create—and eat—the perfect sandwich. Eric's next project coming in 2025 is The Book of Elon Musk.   EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [05:27] The importance of identifying and reflecting on the principles that guide your life.

Creating a high-performance work culture necessitates a clear focus on individual contributions, skill development, and common goals. It also involves cultivating an inclusive workplace in which all employees, regardless of background or personal beliefs, can thrive. At the heart of such a culture is the recognition that success is driven by performance rather than equality of outcomes. A company must provide equal opportunity for all employees, encouraging them to bring their best efforts, abilities, and attitudes to the table. In this week's solo episode, Eric discusses how to create and maintain a high-performance work culture.  Starting the conversation, Eric defines high-performing culture and explains the types of people who fit into that culture. According to him, you as a company owner need to find the types of people who possess high technical skills, strong people skills, high intensity & focus, are team-oriented, take initiative, and are accountable to build a high-performing culture. These are the types of people who do not fit into this category: paycheck picker-uppers, politically or religiously divisive individuals, and also people overly obsessed with work-life balance. Furthermore, Eric explains how you can sustain this high-performing culture along with the following topics regarding building the culture: talent diversity, work-life balance, equality vs. equity, and lessons from successful companies like Netflix.  EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS 03:10 What is a high-performance culture? 06:06 Eric explains the types of people who are in and are not in a high-performance culture.  07:40 The importance of collecting people who are better at people skills.  09:36 How a consistent attitude and willingness to collaborate will drive long-term success.  13:33 The three types of paycheck picker-uppers.  20:07 Professionalism and politics.  22:33 The importance of equality over equity in a high-performance culture. 26:00 The importance of talent diversity.  30:00 Balancing high performance with inclusivity and work-life balance.  31:10 Lessons from Netflix.    KEY TAKEAWAYS Focus on Profitability in Every Decision Look for people with the right combination of skill, effort, and attitude (SEA). Prioritize both technical and people skills. Ensure high intensity with correct focus and strong team orientation. Look for individuals who demonstrate initiative and continuous growth. Encourage professionalism by prioritizing company goals over personal political beliefs.   THE SHIFT Imagine making the shift from building projects to truly leading people.

If you could go back and give advice to your younger self, what would you say? That's the question I got recently from a young man at a live event, and it's one that hit me hard. I realized that I'd give up every dollar, every luxury, just to relive that energy, that drive. The truth? Right now is the youngest and most powerful you'll ever be again. Whether you're 20 or 53, there's no better time to start living fully, with focus and intention. One of the biggest lessons I wish I'd learned earlier? Only control what you can. So much of my life I spent trying to control outcomes, people's opinions, or circumstances. But focusing on what I couldn't change drained my energy and stole my peace. Imagine the freedom if you could just let go of that need to control every little detail and focus solely on what's in your hands—your actions, your attitude, your growth. That's where the power lies. In this episode, I dive into the importance of protecting your energy—what I call your vibrational frequency. The highest energy wins. The most successful people aren't just the most skilled or the smartest; they know how to show up with full presence, clarity, and focus when it matters most. To reach that level, you've got to stay aligned with your purpose and keep the distractions, doubts, and energy-draining worries out of your way. Finally, I talk about raising your standards, not just setting goals. Goals are great, but they come and go. Standards? They shape who you become. Decide what level you're truly comfortable with in every area of your life—relationships, finances, fitness—and watch how that “thermostat setting” drives you to either rise or cool back down. You will never exceed what you think you deserve, so set that thermostat high and surround yourself with people who challenge you to stay there. Key Takeaways: Focus only on what you can control, and let go of the rest. Protect your energy and show up with your best frequency. Set and maintain high standards—don't settle for less. Surround yourself with people who push you to elevate. This is your moment. Max out your life, kick some butt, and live so that, at the end, you're proud of every single choice.
