Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Marian Cosgrove - Army Veteran and Law Enforcement Officer Episode Overview: In this deeply honest and powerful episode, hosts Jennifer and Ashlee sit down with Marian Cosgrove, an Army veteran, long-serving law enforcement officer, and survivor, to talk about substance abuse among first responders. Marian shares her personal journey from childhood trauma, through years of high-functioning alcoholism, to eventual recovery. She discusses the cultural normalization of substance use in law enforcement, the challenges of recognizing when coping has become addiction, and the importance of self-reflection and support. Marian opens up about the root causes of her substance abuse, the process of self-honesty, hitting rock bottom, and the life-changing role of therapy and 12-step programs in her recovery. The conversation also touches on the impact of unresolved pain from childhood, why coping mechanisms develop, and how compartmentalization can be both protective and harmful. Key Topics Covered The Hidden Prevalence of Substance Use:  Why substance abuse is so common among first responders and how drinking becomes normalized as a way to cope with trauma and emotional suppression. Marian’s Story: From a significant childhood trauma (including her struggle to be heard and believed), to coping with discomfort through alcohol use, Marian details how her journey diverged into high-achievement while battling feelings of being an outsider and never quite fitting in. Where is the Line?: We explore the blurry line between social drinking and alcoholism, and how it’s not always clear. Especially for high-functioning individuals. Self-reflection and honesty are critical. Compartmentalization and Childhood Impact: The conversation emphasizes how early experiences and learned coping tactics can shape adult behaviors, especially in high-stress careers. Functional Alcoholism & Progression: Marian describes how her drinking escalated slowly over decades, how she rationalized her habits, and how the "incremental elevator" of standards slides over time. Reaching Out and Support: After her life spiraled, Marian sought help through a treatment program and AA, acknowledging the difficulty and necessity of vulnerability and community among those with lived experience. Changing Coping Mechanisms: Using the concept of “neuro-bypasses” (habitual pathways in the brain), Marian explains how long-term coping with substances becomes deeply ingrained, and how therapy and group support helped her forge new habits. Impact on Family & Children: The group discusses how first responder stress and substance use can affect families, particularly children who may internalize emotional disconnection at home. Advice for Listeners: Marian encourages anyone struggling with substance abuse to reach out, listen to others’ stories, seek both peer and professional support, and understand that recovery is possible.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

In this episode of Sailing and Cruising the East Coast of the United States, Bela Musits and co-host Mike Wasserman welcome Robert Sweet — a sailor with an unconventional beginning. Robert lives in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, far from the ocean. Yet his passion for sailing grew steadily, from childhood outings on a 19-foot O'Day Day Sailer to charting trips in the Virgin Islands.Bela and Robert dive into the unique challenges and rewards of becoming a boat owner later in life. Robert shares how he and his wife — both in their 60s — transitioned from occasional day sails on vacation to seriously planning for boat ownership. Their journey began with modest sailing experiences with the occasional skippered day sail. Over decades, the idea of owning a boat evolved from a casual dream into a concrete goal.To prepare, Robert and his wife booked progressively more immersive sailing experiences. They spent a night aboard a sailboat on Puget Sound, completed ASA 101 and 103 courses in San Diego, and tested overnight stays in various harbors. Each step helped fill gaps in their knowledge.The couple planned two key charters to shape their buying decisions: a three-day trip in the Florida Keys aboard a heavy, blue-water center-cockpit boat, and a week in the Virgin Islands on a modern production cruiser — a Jeanneau Sun Odyssey. Their goal was to compare styles, comfort, and performance before committing to a purchase.But as often happens, life intervened. The Florida Keys trip was postponed three times — first by Robert's mountain biking injury, then by his wife's back surgery, and finally by scheduling changes. Eventually, they made the Keys trip in December, followed by the Virgin Islands charter over Easter.During the downtime, Robert immersed himself in research — online articles, boat buying guides, and, crucially, sailing podcasts. He discovered Bela's show and was struck by the host's perspective as an “older buyer.” Unlike the typical narrative of a 30-year-old dropping everything to sail away, Bela's discussions addressed the practical realities of starting serious sailing later in life: ergonomics, safety, injury prevention, and choosing a boat suited to physical comfort.Robert emphasizes that boat accessibility is a real concern. Newer boats often have higher freeboards, making boarding a challenge — especially for shorter crew members. Testing boarding methods became part of their evaluation process when visiting marinas and inspecting potential boats.Robert's story is a reminder that you don't have to grow up near the sea to become a competent and passionate sailor. His methodical approach — gaining experience in varied conditions, learning boat systems, and realistically assessing personal capabilities — offers valuable lessons for anyone considering buying a boat later in life.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:Growing up sailing small boats and rediscovering the sport decades laterTransitioning from day sails to overnight trips and multi-day chartersTaking ASA sailing courses to build confidence and competenceComparing blue-water cruisers vs. modern production boatsOvercoming physical and logistical challenges as older sailorsHow to evaluate boarding ease, cockpit layout, and overall ergonomicsThe importance of testing boats in different sailing locations and conditionsWhether you're an experienced sailor, a dreamer still waiting to cast off, or someone returning to sailing after many years, Robert's journey proves that passion and persistence can bridge the gap between landlocked life and cruising the Bahamas.Connect With Us:If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review—it helps us reach more sailing enthusiasts like you!  Send us your comments and suggestions. sailingtheeast@gmail.comHappy Sailing!Bela and Mike

Most of us assume our 401k plans are free because we never see a bill. But hidden fees—record keeping, custodial, administration, and advisory costs—can silently erode your retirement savings over time. In this episode, Dr. Disha Spath sits down with forensic 401k consultant Paul Sippel to uncover how these costs work, why they're so hard to detect, and practical steps you can take to protect your wealth. If you're a physician, business owner, or employee relying on your 401k for retirement, this conversation is a must-listen! Key Topics Covered: 1. The Hidden Price of 401K Why most employees (and even physicians) don't realize how much retirement fees are costing them 2. Decoding the Fee Structure Custodial, record keeping, administration and advisory charges explained by Paul 3. So Who Really Pays the Bill? How physicians often carry a bigger share of plan costs than their staff. 4. Defining a “reasonable” costs Benchmarks to know if your plan fees are fair or quietly draining your bank account. 5. Beware of the Transparency Trap Why statements rarely show the true expense and how the industry profits from the confusion 6. Proven Strategies to Lower the Fees From negotiating employer-level billing to exploring self-directed brokerage accounts. Listener Takeaways: If you've never seen a bill for your 401k, that doesn't mean it's free—the fees are just hidden. Even “small” percentages in fees can compound into massive retirement losses over time. Physicians are often subsidizing their staff's 401k costs without realizing it. Shifting fees to the employer level creates more fairness and bigger savings potential. You have the tools to uncover and reduce your 401k fees—knowledge equals real money saved.

In this episode, Tina Tower takes us behind the scenes of running live events and shares the real, raw truth about what it takes—from the glamorous highlights to the logistical and emotional challenges. Drawing on 13 years of experience and over 40 live events, Tina offers practical tips, cautionary tales, and encouragement for anyone thinking about hosting their own event. Key Topics Covered: 1. Running Live Events is a Lot of Work Events are incredibly rewarding, but definitely not the easiest way to build your profile or business. Preparation is everything—good events take months of planning, and unexpected challenges always pop up. The behind-the-scenes workload is mostly invisible to attendees. 2. Energy Management is Crucial Live events are an “energy exchange” between host, team, and audience. Tina shares how her energy and even her cycle can dramatically affect her, and stresses the importance of optimizing rest, nutrition, and recovery time. It's natural to feel depleted after giving it your all—factor in downtime to recharge. 3. Tech Issues Are Inevitable Something will go wrong: AV, microphones, projectors, music... the list goes on. Plan for problems, have backups, and most importantly, stay calm. The audience will take their cue from you. 4. Create a Memorable Experience People remember how you made them feel rather than what you said. Focus on every touchpoint—from music choices to signage, food, comfort, and connection opportunities. Surprise and delight attendees for a lasting impression and growing expectations. 5. Be Realistic About Finances You can lose or make money on events, so start with a clear goal: profit, marketing, or connection. Budget for ALL expenses (hidden costs add up fast) and be strategic about ticket pricing. 6. You Need a Support Team You can't (and shouldn't) do it all yourself. Trusting and empowered team members are essential—especially someone who can calmly handle curveballs on event day. 7. Nothing Beats In-Person Connection Live events foster game-changing breakthroughs, loyalty, and deep community—the magic is in the room. Events turn followers into friends. 8. Design Events That Reflect You Don't copy others; infuse your event with your personality, values, and ideal style. Make decisions (like event timing!) that support your energy and wellbeing. 9. You'll Always Keep Learning Every event teaches you something new. Experience builds confidence and systems—embrace the growth. If hosting a live event is on your dream list, go for it—planned thoughtfully, it's exhausting but “absolutely freaking magic.” Tina encourages listeners to seek support, leverage resources, and, most importantly, focus on creating an unforgettable experience for your community.

In this AI Quick Take, I do my best to demystify the confusing landscape of AI models that's been a little overwhelming. The AI world feels like the mid-'90s browser wars all on steroids, with multiple companies vying for dominance, each with its own approach and philosophy.I started by breaking down the major players. The big story isn't just about who has the smartest model - it's about trust, speed, and who controls the interface between you and AI. I also go into how our company went through the process of selecting OpenAI as our enterprise platform, and why GPT-5's consolidation approach and improved reasoning capabilities could make it compelling for health tech marketing applications.Most importantly, I explored what this means for us as healthcare marketers. With AI getting better at complex research and evaluation, our buyers are going to do even deeper analysis before they ever engage with vendors. This creates both a challenge - harder to reach prospects early - and an opportunity to feed the AI beast with more comprehensive content that influences those AI-powered research sessions.Key Topics Covered:“(00:00:00) Introduction and GPT-5 Overview”“(00:01:00) The Complexity Problem”“(00:04:00) The Major AI Players Breakdown”“(00:11:00) Company AI Platform Selection”“(00:13:00) GPT-5 Deep Dive”“(00:16:00) Implications for Health Tech Marketing”Interested in exploring how to improve your AI enablement strategy?

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan flies solo (with Road Dog sending in questions) and dives deep into trending business topics, including the unpredictable future of AI, motivating affluent business owners, mastering networking charisma, and the true meaning of adaptability in business. Karl also shares a heartfelt personal story and his “Zen” take on purpose, legacy, and what makes life meaningful—offering practical strategies and inspirational takeaways for coaches and entrepreneurs aiming to thrive in a rapidly changing world. Key Topics Covered 1. AI Uncertainty, Hype, and How to Handle It as a Coach Karl reflects on reactions to his AI predictions and discusses why the loudest experts often know the least. Real-world AI adoption is more delayed and unpredictable than people expect—think self-driving cars and regulatory hurdles. The smarter play: treat AI as “gasoline” (an accelerator), not the “vehicle.” Integrate and adapt, but don't get paralyzed by hype or panic. Educate yourself, but don't let the hype steal your focus—stay grounded in serving clients and growing your practice. 2. The Four Pillars of a Meaningful Life Karl opens up about a personal loss, sharing four foundational elements for a purposeful life: something to love, something to look forward to, something to work on, and something to believe in. He ties these into both personal and coaching success, urging listeners to minimize distractions (entertainment) and maximize presence, connection, and purpose. 3. How to Motivate Wealthy (Non-Money-Motivated) Clients Most people are driven by money, status, relationships, or freedom; successful business owners often shift motivation from money to status or freedom. Karl stresses you must first discover their TRUE motivator—often it's still achievement, status, freedom, or a new challenge. Set clear rules and targets: If the goalpost keeps moving (“I just need 3x more to feel successful”), help them create urgency and satisfaction with a concrete number and timeframe. 4. Charisma and Connection in Networking The #1 secret to converting coaching clients at groups like BNI or Chamber: charisma. Ditch the boring, predictable intros. Karl shares headline techniques for memorable, magnetic first impressions and the power of presence. True connection comes from listening to listen (not to respond), giving others your undivided attention, and being both interesting and interested. Actionable body language and confidence cues, plus tips for delivering genuine, effective compliments. 5. Adaptability Over Strength Businesses (and coaches) that survive and thrive aren't the strongest—they're the most adaptable. Real-world examples: McDonald's pivot to breakfast, Netflix's shift to content creation, Lego's partnerships, and Karl's own pivot to focus on profit (not just revenue) in his Profit Acceleration Software. Adaptability is about integrating feedback fast, pivoting with change, and using new technology (like AI) as an accelerator, not a crutch. Notable Quotes “AI is gasoline, not the vehicle… use it as turbo for your business.” “You want to motivate someone? First, know exactly what motivates them.” “Be interesting and be interested. Give them the gift of your presence.” “It's not the strong who survive—it's the adaptable.” “Four things for a meaningful life: something to love, something to look forward to, something to work on, something to believe in.” Actionable Takeaways Use AI as an Accelerator: Educate yourself on AI tools and opportunities, but don't let the noise overwhelm you—focus on integrating AI to speed up and improve what you already do well. Double Down on Connection: Whether with clients or new contacts, deliver your full attention, make genuine compliments, and be confident in your introductions to stand out in a crowd. Discover and Target Core Motivators: Before you can motivate a client (especially one who thinks they've “arrived”), figure out if they're now seeking status, freedom, or new achievement—then tailor your coaching accordingly. Limit Distraction, Maximize Purpose: Trim entertainment and refocus on your own family, finances, and business. Use the “four pillars of meaning” as a self-check. Set Concrete Goals and Rules (for Yourself and Clients): Instead of always moving the goalpost, agree on a success benchmark and timeframe. Use time as a tool to create urgency and satisfaction. Practice Charisma at Networking Events: Open with confidence—try lines like, “Hi, I'm Karl Bryan. I don't think we've met yet.” Share your three most interesting facts, and always listen to truly understand. Model Adaptability: Stay ready to pivot—learn from feedback, embrace new technologies, and don't get stuck in old ways just because they once worked.

Networking Groups: – BNI, Chamber of Commerce Recommend Reading: – “The Game” by Neil Strauss (for lessons on charisma and connection) Mindset Quotes: – Mother Teresa on the ripple effect of one person's love – Wayne Gretzky on skating not to the puck, but “where the puck is going” If you enjoyed the episode, please subscribe, share with a fellow coach, and leave a review.

Hosts: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Episode Overview: In this candid episode, Ashlee and Jennifer turn the mics on themselves to dive into their personal journeys, career paths, and how being raised in first responder families shapes not only your worldview but your entire emotional toolkit. The duo explores themes of resilience, family systems, vulnerability, and the ongoing impact of childhood experiences into adult life. Key Topics Covered The First Responder Family System: Jennifer and Ashlee reflect on the unique resilience, values, and awareness that come from growing up in a first responder household. They discuss how these environments often foster critical thinking, acute emotional intelligence, but also present real challenges especially around chaos, structure, and sometimes rigid expectations. Career Paths: Ashlee and Jennifer share their motivating moments that led them to helping professions (social work, mental health), including behind-the-scenes stories about family, pivotal college classes, and the “aha” moments that cemented their purpose. Candid talk about how family experiences (including tough love and the need to “prove ourselves”) shape career choices and attitudes. Family Dynamics & Resiliency: A reflection on the double-edged sword of first responder family dynamics. The strong values and community, alongside the strictness and sometimes unintentionally harsh communication styles that get carried from the field into the home. Insights into how these family systems continue to evolve as children grow into adults and re-negotiate relationships with their parents. Vulnerability & Forgiveness: The importance of parents, especially first responders, showing vulnerability and apologizing when things go wrong. How open, honest dialogue between parent and child can build long-term resilience and deep family bonds, even (or especially) after conflict. Parenting Reflections: Both hosts admit the learning curve of parenting, and the hope to do things differently while acknowledging that every generation makes mistakes. The value of simply saying “I’m sorry” as a parent.   If this episode resonated with you or if you have stories to share about living with a first responder, reach out to Ashlee and Jennifer on their social media platforms!   Thank you for tuning in!

 In this in-depth episode of our legal advice series, Attorney Robert Navar of the Law Office of Robert Andrew Navar Esq.  shares exactly how he helps clients remove active traffic ticket warrants and fight the underlying charges—without paying unnecessary court warrant fees or risking jail time.If you've ever missed a court date, forgotten to pay a ticket, or received a letter warning of an arrest warrant, you'll want to hear this. Robert explains that when you fail to appear in court or pay your fine by the deadline, a judge can issue a bench warrant—often called an alias warrant in traffic cases. This warrant attaches to your name and driver's license, meaning police can arrest you at any time, even during a routine traffic stop.Ignoring a traffic ticket warrant can lead to severe consequences:Arrest at home, work, or during travelAdditional fines and court costsPoints added to your licenseHigher insurance premiumsA permanent conviction on your driving recordRobert breaks down the types of warrants he fights:Alias Warrants – Issued when you haven't entered a plea or paid the ticket. With these, an attorney can lift the warrant and continue fighting the ticket.Capias Warrants – Issued for not complying with a court order, such as failing to complete a payment plan. These are harder to remove without paying the full amount or serving jail time, but Robert explains your options.OMNI Holds – Restrictions placed by the Texas DPS on your driver's license for failing to appear in court or pay a fine, preventing you from legally driving.You'll learn why hiring a warrant lawyer for traffic tickets is more effective—and more affordable—than using a bail bondsman. Many bond companies can't post bonds for tickets and will often hire a lawyer anyway. By going directly to an attorney like Robert, you skip the middleman, save money, and get legal advice tailored to your case.Robert also discusses his process:Filing an appearance bond to lift the warrant immediately.Requesting discovery, including body cam footage, dash cam video, and officer reports, to identify inconsistencies.Challenging procedural errors in the charging instrument or citation.Negotiating with prosecutors to secure dismissals or defensive driving eligibility even when clients don't normally qualify.Once the warrant is removed, Robert doesn't stop there—he continues to fight the original ticket to prevent it from becoming a conviction on your record. Paying old tickets without legal help can lead to permanent marks that affect employment, especially for jobs requiring a clean driving record or background check.Key Topics Covered in This Episode:What triggers a traffic ticket warrant.Why you should never ignore a bench warrant.The difference between alias and capias warrants.How OMNI holds affect your license and ability to drive.Why hiring a lawyer is better than using a bail bondsman for traffic tickets.How to lift a warrant quickly without paying court warrant fees.Steps to fight the underlying ticket after warrant removal.Protecting your record and avoiding higher insurance rates.If you have an active traffic ticket warrant—or think you might—don't wait. Acting quickly with the help of an experienced traffic ticket attorney can mean the difference between a clean record and long-term consequences.Contact Information:

In this episode, Dan Czech, Vice President of Insights at KLAS, and my colleague Mark Ewrich, Chief Strategy Officer at Health Launchpad, and I discuss a  “Must-Read” study, “Navigating the Uncertainty of Federal Policy 2025.”Dan and his team at KLAS surveyed almost 170 healthcare organizations to understand how they're responding to recent federal policy changes and budget uncertainties.In this week's episode, you will learn how healthcare organizations are navigating through shifting federal policies without clear direction. The study reveals that 90% of organizations feel they lack the clarity needed to act decisively, and 85% have developed multiple contingency plans to respond to policy changes.Dan, Mark, I talked through the five key themes from this study. They have significant implications for healthcare technology vendors. Most surprisingly, despite all the uncertainty, IT budgets aren't being frozen - they're being redirected toward specific priorities like AI, automation, and cybersecurity. Organizations are looking for solutions that can help them reduce workforce costs while maintaining the quality of care.Mark provides insightful commentary throughout our discussion on how healthcare technology companies should position themselves in this environment - focusing on de-risking solutions, demonstrating clear ROI, and aligning with the specific areas where organizations are still willing to invest.This study is essential reading for anyone selling into healthcare right now, as it provides a roadmap for understanding where opportunities still exist despite the challenging environment.Key Topics Covered:(00:00:00) Introduction (00:02:00) Contingency Planning(00:05:00) Theme 1: Planning Through the Fog(00:07:00) Theme 2: Policy Shifts Drive Hard Choices(00:11:00) Theme 3: IT Budgets Redirected, Not Frozen(00:15:00) Theme 4: AI as the Bright Spot(00:19:00) Theme 5: Value-Based Care Momentum(00:24:00) Theme 6: Small Organizations at Greater Risk(00:26:00) Closing Thoughts and TakeawaysKLAS Report: Government and Regulatory Impact on Healthcare Delivery Organizations 2025Want to learn more about planning for changing regulations?

In this episode, Paul Merriman shares insights into upcoming events, including his presentation at the Garrett Planning Network Retreat, as well as his reflections on asset allocation, government bond strategies, and the benefits of various portfolios for different life stages. Tune in for a deep dive into how different funds and asset classes perform over the long term, and how to optimize your investment strategy, regardless of age or risk tolerance.Key Topics Covered:1. Long-Term Returns ComparisonPaul compares two small-cap value funds: the Vanguard Small Cap Value Fund (VSIAX) and the DFA Small Cap Value Fund (DFFVX). To find long-term returns for these funds, Paul uses Morningstar's chart function, which allows users to view the maximum (MAX) historical data for any given fund, helping to compare the performance of these funds since their inception 2. Best Asset Allocation for RetireesThe best asset allocation for retirees typically depends on individual factors, such as risk tolerance and life expectancy. Generally, Paul suggests a moderate equity allocation of 40-60% in stocks, with the rest in fixed income, for retirees who have enough saved up to comfortably fund their retirement .3. Asset Allocation for an 83-Year-Old RetireeFor an 83-year-old retiree, Paul discusses a more conservative portfolio with two-thirds in bonds and one-third in equities. This conservative approach, which mirrors the allocation in Vanguard's target-date funds, aligns well with retirees who are less reliant on aggressive growth but still need some equity exposure to combat inflation .4. Why Use Three Government Bond Funds?Paul advocates for a diversified bond strategy that includes TIPS (Treasury Inflation-Protected Securities), short-term government bonds, and intermediate-term government bonds. This combination offers a balance of safety, growth potential, and reduced volatility compared to using just one bond fund, and provides a more stable return over time.5. How the Worldwide 4 Fund Portfolio WorksThe Worldwide 4 Fund Portfolio is structured with 25% in large-cap blend (U.S), 25% in large-cap value (INTL), 25% in small-cap blend (INTL), and 25% in small-cap value (U.S.), giving you a diversified mix of U.S. and international equities. This approach optimizes for both size and value, ensuring a balanced exposure to market growth, volatility, and global investment opportunities.6. Should a 26-Year-Old Use the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio Yes, a 26-year-old could benefit from the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio, which typically includes the A TARGET DATE FUND and a small-cap value fund. This strategy allows young investors to focus on equity growth, benefiting from the long-term appreciation potential of small-cap value stocks while minimizing risks associated with bonds at an early stage7. Managing the 2 Funds for Life Portfolio with S&P 500 & Small-Cap Value For someone using only the S&P 500 and small-cap value fund, Paul suggests a flexible allocation approach. You might start with a 50/50 split, or adjust according to your risk tolerance. The small-cap value fund tends to be more volatile but offers higher returns over time, while the S&P 500 provides more stability with lower volatility .8. Can There Be a 3 Funds for Life Portfolio?Yes, a 3 Funds for Life portfolio could include the S&P 500, large-cap value, and small-cap value. Paul suggests mixing these three equity asset classes to achieve a balanced portfolio that offers growth potential without overexposing yourself to risk.⁠Resources:1928-2024 Quilt Chart (K1a)⁠⁠Sound Investing Table (H2a)⁠Chris Pedersen's 2 Funds for Life Table: For more detailed insights, visit ⁠Chris Pedersen's 2 Funds for Life table⁠.

In this episode, Tina Tower dives into the three biggest reasons people struggle with sales—especially female course creators—and shares practical, relatable strategies to boost your confidence and conversion rates. If you want to sell more with authenticity and ease, this episode is a must-listen. Key Topics Covered: 1. Selling Like Someone You're Not Many women try to adopt a "salesy" persona that doesn't feel true to them, leading to awkward transitions and flat sales messaging. Tina talks about cultural differences in how women from Australia, the UK, and New Zealand approach self-promotion compared to those in the US and Canada. Tip: Embrace "Bestie Marketing" (coined by Zoe Foster Blake) by writing your sales copy and content as if you're talking to your best friend. Inject your real self—stories, voice, and confidence—into every sales message. Practice makes perfect! Sales gets easier and more authentic with repetition and self-acceptance. 2. Fear of Asking for the Sale A major sales killer is shying away from the actual ask due to fear of being pushy or fear of rejection. Tina shares why women often hesitate to send enough sales emails or deliver a confident call to action at the end of webinars. Tip: Reframe sales as an act of service. You're not begging or pressuring—your offer is the bridge to transformation that your audience actually wants. Detach from the outcome: Do your best, prepare thoroughly, then let go of results. 3. Selling Features, Not Feelings Buyers aren't interested in a long list of features—they want results. They're looking for the transformation your offer brings. Use storytelling and specific, relatable examples that speak to what your customer really wants: the feeling of accomplishment and the change your program can make. Tip: Always start with the end in mind. Clearly communicate the before-and-after, use your audience's language, and keep your pitch simple and direct. Address objections openly so prospects believe the transformation is possible for them. Sales isn't sleazy—it's an act of leadership and service. When you own your value and communicate it authentically, you'll not only sell more, but you'll enjoy the process too.   Resources & Mentions: Zoe Foster Blake https://www.instagram.com/zotheysay Idea to Launch https://www.herempirebuilder.com/start   Where to find Tina: Her Empire Builder: https://www.herempirebuilder.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tina_tower/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@herempirebuilder

Episode 252: Most CX maturity assessments ask how you think you're doing. This one demands proof. Erin Wallace, director of client engagement at MyCX from Bain & Company, is helping to lead a fundamental shift in how companies measure CX maturity. Most tools rely on perception-based self-assessments that reward self-promotion over progress. The Customer Experience Roadmap and Accreditation (CXRA) demands verifiable proof—evidence against 55 global, industry-backed standards. It's not always comfortable, but it's often the turning point. Bain's CXRA challenges the internal echo chamber. Erin explains how most assessments rely on surveys sent to a handful of CX insiders, producing a distorted view of reality. The CXRA demands documentation of policies, processes, behaviors, and measurable outcomes such as customer experience metrics, operational KPIs, or business results. It uses outside-in validation to confront that distortion. This isn't academic. It's where things get real. Leaders often push back. Some insist, “We're better than this.” Others admit, “We're not as good as we might think.” That tension is the point. Because CXRA doesn't just assess quality—it measures how consistently CX practices are applied across the business. That's how it exposes the “pockets of brilliance” that never scale, leaving most customers with a fragmented, uneven experience and leadership teams with a false sense of progress. For many leaders, conducting the CXRA offers clarity they've never achieved: a shared fact base, benchmarks of world-class practice, and a clear path forward. It doesn't just reveal what's missing, it builds the conviction to fix it. Guest: Erin Wallace, Director of Client Engagement, Bain & Company Host: Rob Markey, Partner, Bain & Company Give Us Feedback: Help us improve the podcast (feedback link) Key Topics Covered 01:00 – Why perception-based CX tools fall short 02:20 – What defines a successful evidence-based assessment 03:10 – The challenge with identifying “pockets of brilliance” 04:15 – How companies respond to uncomfortable truths 05:40 – Aligning leaders around what “good” really looks like 06:55 – Using 55 global standards to benchmark performance 08:10 – What Bain's CX Roadmap and Accreditation assesses 09:30 – What Erin learned at the X4 2025 Conference in Salt Lake City Time-Stamped Notable Quotes [5:00] “MyCX℠ is  a tool anyone in the industry can use, whether you're a strategic advisor, a technology implementer, or a CX practitioner. These should be things we agree on in terms of the standard of excellence for culture, capabilities, and execution.” [6:00]  “Most maturity assessments—tools to understand where you are and how you're doing with CX—are survey-based. They're perception-based. We send [them] out to a couple hundred people in the company, see what they think, and how they think they're doing with CX. You usually get back a pretty inactionable result. What's different about MyCX Roadmap and Accreditation, which is based on these global standards, is that it's an evidence-based, outside-in assessment.” [7:00] “It's an opportunity to dig in and have a conversation. And to evaluate the perception with the policy against results.” [8:00] “We look at quality, coverage, and consistency of application across the business. There could very well be a spotlight—like pockets of excellence—that are not applied across the organization in a meaningful way.” “[9:00] “What does good look like, and is that really what we aspire to accomplish? And then what will it take to get there? Because oftentimes, everyone has a different opinion of what is ‘good.' And do we really want to get there? This helps [organizations] break through and get that bigger investment unlock that's required to lead.” Learn more about Bain & Company's CX Roadmap and Accreditation process: https://www.bain.com/consulting-services/customer-strategy-and-marketing/customer-experience-transformation/mycx/ Learn more about the Global CX Standards: https://www.netpromotersystem.com/resources/cx-standards/

In this episode of the HVAC School podcast, Bryan welcomes back Jim to discuss the groundbreaking SureSwitch contactor technology from Copeland. This isn't just another incremental improvement - it's a complete reimagining of how contactors should work in modern HVAC systems. Jim brings his expertise and even demonstrates the technology with a special cutaway camera setup, giving listeners and viewers an inside look at this innovative solution. The conversation begins with the evolution of contactors in the HVAC industry, explaining how manufacturers moved backward from heavy-duty two-pole contactors to lighter, more cost-effective one-and-a-half pole designs. While this cost reduction made sense for manufacturers, it often left technicians dealing with more frequent failures and replacements. The SureSwitch represents a leap forward, combining the reliability of traditional heavy-duty contactors with modern electronic intelligence and enhanced protection features. One of the most compelling aspects of the SureSwitch is its multi-voltage coil capability, supporting 24V, 110V, and 240V applications with a single unit. This flexibility dramatically reduces inventory requirements for contractors and service companies, allowing one contactor to handle residential HVAC, refrigeration cases, ice machines, and pool heaters. The universal application makes it particularly valuable for smaller businesses that need to stock fewer SKUs while maintaining the ability to handle diverse applications. The technical innovation behind the SureSwitch's longevity is fascinating. Using an optical sensor (described as a "little eye" in the sealed chamber), the contactor monitors for electrical arcing during contact opening and closing. The built-in microprocessor analyzes the 60Hz AC sine wave and times the contact operation to occur at the zero-crossing point, eliminating destructive arcing. This "no-arc zone" operation, combined with latching contacts that prevent chatter during brownout conditions, results in contacts that remain clean and functional even after a million cycles - five times longer than traditional contactors. Key Topics Covered ·        Contactor Evolution and Industry Innovation o   Historical perspective on contactor design changes from heavy-duty to cost-optimized o   Why the HVAC industry needed to innovate forward rather than continue cost-cutting ·        Multi-Voltage Flexibility o   Single contactor handles 24V, 110V, and 240V coil applications o   Reduces inventory requirements and simplifies contractor operations o   Applications include residential HVAC, refrigeration, ice machines, and pool heaters ·        Arc-Free Contact Technology o   Optical sensor monitoring system for detecting electrical arcing o   Microprocessor-controlled timing to operate at AC sine wave zero-crossing o   Five times longer contact life compared to traditional contactors ·        Chatter Elimination and Latching Mechanism o   Internal power supply eliminates dependency on weak control voltage o   Magnetic latching system prevents contact bouncing during brownout conditions o   Protection against undersized control wiring and long wire runs ·        Sealed Contact Chamber Design o   100% sealed contact chamber prevents insect and debris contamination o   Eliminates common failure modes from ants, earwigs, and lizards o   Reduces need for pest control interventions ·        Built-in Compressor Protection Features o   Brownout protection with automatic voltage monitoring (184V threshold) o   Random start delay (0-90 seconds) for multiple unit installations o   Short cycle timer protection working independently of thermostat timers ·        Installation and Compatibility Considerations o   Compatible mounting holes with standard contactors o   Proper crankcase heater wiring configurations o   Training considerations for technicians adapting to new terminal layout ·        Warranty and Business Applications o   10-year warranty vs. standard 1-year contactor warranties o   Good-better-best selling scenarios for contractor businesses o   Applications in high-end residential and commercial installations   Learn more at the SureSwitch at http://www.hvacrschool.com/SureSwitch.  Have a question that you want us to answer on the podcast?

Host: Dr. Ashlee Gethner, LCSW – Child of a Police Officer Jennifer Woosley Saylor, LPCC S – Child of a Police Officer Guest: Chief Deputy Justin Miller, Kenosha Sheriff’s Office Episode Overview: In this insightful episode, Ashlee and Jennifer, welcome Chief Deputy Justin Miller from the Kenosha County Sheriff’s Office. Chief Deputy Miller shares his journey from serving as a Navy psychiatric technician to law enforcement leadership, opening up about how personal experiences and organizational gaps in mental health support shaped his mission to prioritize officer wellness. Key Topics Covered The Struggle for Support: Chief Deputy Miller recounts moments where, due to budget cuts, Employee Assistance Programs (EAP) and peer support teams were unavailable, leaving officers without organizational resources for mental well-being. Personal Impact: He discusses the life events that first drew his attention to the importance of officer mental health, from the suicide of a significant other to his own family losses, and the organizational culture’s lack of compassion. Culture Shift in Law Enforcement: The conversation delves into the challenges of changing a deeply ingrained “rub dirt on it” mindset, and how being promoted doesn’t always mean having a real voice for change. Innovative Wellness Initiatives: Chief Deputy Miller outlines current strategies in his department. Breaking the Stigma: Chief Deputy Miller explains how officer education, transparency, and leadership modeling are critical for long-term cultural change. Family & Community Impact: The importance of involving officer families in wellness programs—offering access to resources, education, and community-building events. Advice for Leaders & Providers: For law enforcement administrators - Be humble, open to new ideas, prioritize serving your people, and build cultures where feedback leads to actionable change. For mental health professionals - There’s a pressing need for more providers trained to understand first responder culture, as well as resources tailored for both officers and their families. From Struggle to Success: Chief Deputy Miller shares that Kenosha has achieved zero vacancies in both patrol and corrections—a rarity in the current law enforcement climate—and credits a strong, invested culture of wellness and leadership development.
