Spa franchise growth is evolving beyond the basics of service menus and storefront expansion. Today, the most successful wellness brands scale by blending luxury with purpose—offering not just treatments, but experiences that restore, connect, and inspire. One brand leading this shift is Spavia Day Spa, founded by Allison Langenderfer. What began as a single-location concept has grown into a nationwide franchise known for elevated guest experiences, thoughtfully curated retail, and a culture deeply rooted in care. In the world of franchising, many chase unit growth without laying the cultural or operational foundation to support it. Spavia flipped that model. From the beginning, Allison built the brand around intention—delivering consistent, high-end spa services while fostering connection between guests, team members, and franchise owners. That clarity of purpose has become a major driver of Spavia's franchise growth, helping the brand stand out in a saturated industry. Allison's path to launching a wellness franchise wasn't traditional. Her background includes a successful run as a Macy's buyer, followed by a decade in pharmaceutical sales. That experience gave her a strong foundation in operations, customer engagement, and market strategy—all skills she now channels into leading Spavia. But what really sets her leadership apart is a strong emotional intelligence and unwavering focus on community. Whether it's through the brand's nonprofit initiative, Spavia Cares, or their dedication to franchisee support, the company's mission goes beyond profit—it's about impact. Spa franchise growth requires more than just a great treatment menu. Spavia places significant emphasis on guest experience—from the curated arrival ritual to the tranquil spa environment and personalized service. Each location is designed to offer a high-end, boutique feel while staying approachable and community-focused. This attention to detail has fueled word-of-mouth buzz and repeat visits, while also giving franchise owners a proven model to plug into. As the wellness space becomes more crowded, differentiation matters more than ever. Spavia's approach includes an expertly developed retail program, a market-driven service lineup, and strong national branding that still allows room for local connection. Franchisees aren't just operators—they're partners, empowered with tools and support that help them maintain brand standards while customizing for their markets. That balance is a key ingredient in scalable success and a foundational principle in Spavia's growth strategy. The heart of Spavia's spa franchise growth lies in its people. From estheticians to guest advisors to franchise owners, culture and connection drive performance. The company places a strong emphasis on training, empowerment, and creating a workplace where employees can thrive. That translates directly into the guest experience—warm, consistent, and tailored. Franchisees benefit from a model that's been tested, refined, and supported with systems. Spavia's leadership has intentionally built an infrastructure to scale, not just in size but in depth. As more entrepreneurs look to enter the wellness space, Spavia offers an opportunity to join a brand that's not just growing, but growing the right way. For those exploring franchise opportunities or seeking to lead with purpose in the health and wellness industry, Spavia stands as a prime example of how mission-driven values and a refined guest experience can fuel long-term success.

Chris Perry is the Co-founder and Chief Learning Officer at firstmovr, a satellite Center of Excellence (COE) for eCommerce education and change management. He is also an Executive Educator and Keynote Speaker at the Path to Purchase Institute. With over 12 years of experience as an eCommerce leader and executive educator, Chris aims to empower leaders to embrace change with actionable knowledge, strategies, and KPIs. In this episode… The rapid evolution of eCommerce and the rise of AI-driven tools are disrupting the way consumers discover, evaluate, and stay loyal to brands. Traditional loyalty programs often fail to keep pace, and many brands still prioritize acquisition over retention. How can companies adapt their digital shelf strategies to capture human shoppers and stay relevant to AI-driven recommendations? Digital upskilling advocate and eCommerce strategist Chris Perry advises brands to focus on shopper-centric content optimization by creating long-tail assets that answer detailed consumer questions and appeal to AI agents like Rufus or ChatGPT. Navigating the digital shelf requires understanding how conversational queries differ from traditional keyword searches and proactively testing and reskilling to stay ahead of competitors as AI adoption accelerates. Tune in to this episode of The Digital Deep Dive as Chris Perry, Co-founder of firstmovr, returns to speak with Aaron Conant about navigating the AI-driven transformation of eCommerce. Chris shares real-world examples of AI-assisted product discovery, the importance of long-tail content for search visibility, and why early adoption and reskilling are critical for the future.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great  pleasure of speaking with the author of the forthcoming book From Fear to Flow: Transcending the Ego and Living the Life You Were Meant to Live, Tom Roberts. Tom uses his experience on the racetrack and in dentistry to  challenge the conventional view of flow as simply a performance tool and instead presents it as a natural, authentic state of being that emerges when we learn to quiet the ego. We explore how flow mirrors deep meditative states, why the ego is often the biggest obstacle to our growth, and how to move through the four stages of flow without burning out. Our conversation offers insights that will resonate with anyone who is ready to rediscover the power and freedom already within.

Guest Bios:Brittanny Kreutzer started The Speaker Exchange Agency with a background in sales and a love for the speaking industry. She was given a taste of the speaking industry while interning in college for Nancy Lauterbach, a past speakers bureau owner. Upon graduation from college she began a successful career selling radio space and developing radio campaigns for CBS Radio in Kansas City; however, after a few years the excitement of the speaking industry drew her back in. After working at a speakers bureau for several years and becoming one of the top sales executives, she took a break to spend time with her newborn baby Madison. The love she has for this industry struck again and after only a short month's break, Brittanny combined forces with her past colleague and friend, Julie Homsey, to create The Speaker Exchange Agency, LLC. Jeff Bigelow  joined SpeakInc in 1995, became Partner in 1996, and with over seventeen years of experience in the industry, still loves what he does.

What brings him the most joy, of course, is spending time with his wife, Denise, and daughter, Faith.Takeaways:There are a lot more speakers now, requiring more time to review information.The buying cycle for clients has dramatically shortened.Clients are increasingly using AI tools like ChatGPT to find speakers.Understanding the psychology of the audience is crucial for speaker selection.Pre-booking calls have become more common and important.Speakers should provide valuable information, not just check-ins.Top speakers maintain strong communication and relationships with agents.Speaker fees have increased, but value should not be tied solely to fees.AI is a growing topic of interest in the speaking industry.The human element in the speaking industry remains irreplaceable.Chapters:00:00 - The Evolution of the Speaking Industry03:01 - Shifts in Client Expectations05:57 - Understanding the Buying Process09:02 - The Role of Tone and Style in Speaker Selection12:01 - The Importance of Pre-Booking Calls15:12 - Staying Top of Mind in a Crowded Market19:01 - Understanding Speaker Engagement and Connection22:19 - The Top 5% of Speakers: What Sets Them Apart25:17 - Navigating Speaker Fees in a Changing Economy30:15 - The Impact of AI on the Speaking Industry34:00 - The Future of the Speaking Industry: Human Element vs. Technology35:35 - What We Love and Hate About the Speaking IndustryResourcesLearn more about Brittanny Kreutzer:WebsiteLinkedInLearn more about Jeff Bigelow:WebsiteLinkedInLearn more about Josh Linkner:WebsiteYouTubeLinkedInInstagramXFacebookABOUT MIC DROP:Hear from the world's top thought leaders and experts, sharing tipping point moments, strategies, and approaches that led to their speaking career success.

Sorry as I was gone this last week. I visited Disneyland's 70th anniversary a couple of weeks ago. There is so much to talk about when it comes to this celebration of "The Happiest Place on Earth". But the primary reason I felt drawn to come at this time was the new show at the Opera House on Main Street. I feel there is not one but two stories about the new attraction: Walt Disney: A Magical Life. This is of course the highly sophisticated and highly controversial animatronic show of Walt Disney. And I have much to say about that show experience. And to understand all of this, you have to understand efforts made earlier to help people relate to Walt Disney, to include The Walt Disney Story, One Man's Dream and even Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. It's a deep dive review for sure. But there is a larger conversation about how Disney is reconnecting more people to what they once loved in their youth, experiences that foster ties. It's as if Disney has finally realized that their history, their heritage, and their stories really do matter. And they seem to be doing much more moving forward to building on that theme. This podcast looks at Walt Disney's Magical Life and so much more. _______________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

Tisha B'Av is the saddest day of the Jewish Year, but it also contains the greatest hope. In 1972, Rabbi Yaakov Asher Sinclair opened SARM Studios the first 24-track recording studio in Europe where Queen mixed “Bohemian Rhapsody”. His music publishing company, Druidcrest Music published the music for The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1973) and as a record producer, he co-produced the quadruple-platinum debut album by American band “Foreigner” (1976). American Top ten singles from this album included, “Feels Like The First Time”, “Cold as Ice” and “Long, Long Way from Home”. Other production work included “The Enid – In the Region of the Summer Stars”, “The Curves”, and “Nutz” as well as singles based on The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy with Douglas Adams and Richard O'Brien. Other artists who used SARM included: ABC, Alison Moyet, Art of Noise, Brian May, The Buggles, The Clash, Dina Carroll, Dollar, Flintlock, Frankie Goes To Hollywood, Grace Jones, It Bites, Malcolm McLaren, Nik Kershaw, Propaganda, Rush, Rik Mayall, Stephen Duffy, and Yes. In 1987, he settled in Jerusalem to immerse himself in the study of Torah. His two Torah books The Color of Heaven, on the weekly Torah portion, and Seasons of the Moon met with great critical acclaim. Seasons of the Moon, a unique fine-art black-and-white photography book combining poetry and Torah essays, has now sold out and is much sought as a collector's item fetching up to $250 for a mint copy. He is much in demand as an inspirational speaker both in Israel, Great Britain and the United States. He was Plenary Keynote Speaker at the Agudas Yisrael Convention, and Keynote Speaker at Project Inspire in 2018. Rabbi Sinclair lectures in Talmud and Jewish Philosophy at Ohr Somayach/Tannenbaum College of Judaic studies in Jerusalem and is a senior staff writer of the Torah internet publications Ohrnet and Torah Weekly. His articles have been published in The Jewish Observer, American Jewish Spirit, AJOP Newsletter, Zurich's Die Jüdische Zeitung, South African Jewish Report and many others. Rabbi Sinclair was born in London, and lives with his family in Jerusalem. He was educated at St. Anthony's Preparatory School in Hampstead, Clifton College, and Bristol University.

Ever feel like you're stuck in the same patterns, unsure which way to go next? Wondering if there's more to life than just pushing through? In this episode, we talk about finding direction in life, how to break old habits and why getting unstuck in life often begins with learning how to lead from within.James Robbins is an International Keynote Leadership Speaker, founder, and author of The Call to Climb, a powerful book inviting you to lead your life with more intention, purpose, and inner clarity. He shares how tuning into your own “mountain”—that personal challenge or calling you're meant to face—can radically transform the way you live, lead, and serve others.This episode is a must-listen if you've ever felt stuck, restless, or like something deeper is calling you to rise. James gives practical tools for identifying what that mountain is for you, how to listen to your inner voice, and why small, intentional steps matter so much more than you think. He also shares the story behind the book and how his own journey helped shape his message.We cover:

Customer experience franchise growth has become the difference-maker for brands that aim to scale in today's competitive market. It's no longer enough to have a recognizable logo or a trendy product. Brands that grow—and stay relevant—are the ones that build a following through memorable, customizable customer experiences. At the center of this movement is FiiZ Drinks, a soda-centric franchise that's making waves by bringing back nostalgia and wrapping it in a modern, crave-worthy experience. With more than 25 years in franchising and hospitality, Scott Ball brings deep industry insight to his role as President of FiiZ Drinks. His background includes leadership positions with Dunkin', Arby's, and TJ Cinnamons, giving him a seasoned perspective on what it takes to scale a brand and support franchisees effectively. But his work with FiiZ isn't about following an old playbook—it's about writing a new one centered around customer experience franchise growth. FiiZ Drinks is not just another beverage brand. The experience is what makes it different. From fully customizable soda combinations to nostalgic aesthetics and a fast-casual service model that caters to drive-thru convenience, the brand has tapped into a unique emotional space. The concept blends the energy of a retro soda shop with the variety and speed demanded by modern consumers. It's not just about buying a drink—it's about owning the experience. That experience starts with personalization. With thousands of drink combinations available—including soda, frozen beverages, flavored waters, and sugar-free options—customers create something that feels uniquely theirs. This level of customization fuels engagement, drives frequency, and creates endless shareable moments on social media. For younger demographics in particular, FiiZ has become a place to connect, express, and indulge. And with vibrant store designs and upbeat service, it's no surprise the brand is building community hubs, not just retail locations. At the business level, customer experience franchise growth is what's powering FiiZ's national expansion. Since early 2024, the brand has signed over 130 new franchise units, extending its footprint from Utah and the Mountain West into the Midwest, Southeast, and even Canada. But FiiZ isn't just handing out franchise agreements—they're selecting partners with passion, operational experience, and the resources to scale in new markets. Each franchisee is trained not just on operations, but on the culture and community-building that drive customer loyalty. Scott Ball is clear: growth without operational support doesn't last. That's why FiiZ invests in product innovation, LTOs (limited-time offers), regional marketing support, and national brand-building partnerships with beverage giants like Pepsi, Coca-Cola, and Dr Pepper. This collaboration enables FiiZ to move fast, stay relevant, and deliver experiences customers can't find anywhere else. And in markets unfamiliar with “dirty soda” culture, they lead with education, sampling, and local connection—fundamentals of franchise growth rooted in experience. A big part of the brand's strategy is flexibility in its real estate model. While 85% of FiiZ sales currently come through drive-thru locations, the company is expanding into malls, campuses, and non-traditional spaces. The goal is to meet customers where they are, not force them into a singular format. That adaptability strengthens the brand's scalability—an essential part of any franchise growth strategy. Customer experience franchise growth isn't just a buzz phrase—it's a measurable, operational commitment. FiiZ Drinks is showing how a tight focus on delighting guests, building local community ties, and supporting franchisees with real systems leads to momentum that sustains. As competition increases and consumer expectations continue to evolve, brands that lead with experience will be the ones that thrive. For franchise leaders, entrepreneurs, or investors looking at the next big opportunity in food and beverage, FiiZ represents a growing category with staying power. It's not just about the drinks. It's about culture, customization, and community—served daily. Watch the full interview on YouTube.

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the great pleasure of speaking with occupational health psychologist Dr. Christina Guthier, author of Joyfully Exhausted, about the often misunderstood concept of burnout. We discuss the idea that not all exhaustion is bad, explore the difference between joyful and harmful exhaustion, and examine the effort-reward imbalance that many self-employed people face. Christina emphasizes the importance of managing our energy and recovering from hidden efforts we may not even realize are draining us. Our conversation is a refreshing reminder that it's okay — and even healthy — to love your work, as long as you prioritize recovery and recognize your limits. Since childhood, Christina was fascinated to observe different states of exhaustion in adults after work (including unpaid care work). At Ruhr-University Bochum, she majored in organizational psychology, conducted corporate social responsibility (CSR) field-research as student assistant at the marketing department, and worked at eligo GmbH where she helped develop recruiting software. During her M.Sc. Psychology at Heidelberg University, she majored in Organizational Behaviour and Adaptive Cognition learning a lot about the complexity of performance ratings and leadership behavior as well as cognitive biases and decision heuristics. At the same time, Christina also completed her train-the-trainer certificate during her internship at the career services and development department at Mannheim Business School. Then she focused on occupational health psychology (particularly on burnout research) during her PhD at Johannes Gutenberg-University Mainz. Christina's PhD thesis on "How to create healthier study and work environments" got awarded with the Alfred Teves dissertation award 2020. Additionally, her meta-analysis on the reciprocal relationship between job stressors and burnout (published in Psychological Bulletin) got awarded with the Schmidt-Hunter Meta-Analysis Award 2022 by the Society of Industrial and Organizational Psychology (division of the American Psychological Association). Finally, as a self-employed scientist, she has started to translate (her) research insights into actionable advice by giving a TEDx talk, getting interviewed for German media outlets (e.g., Der Spiegel, deutschlandfunk nova), and writing articles for different journals and magazines (e.g., Leader to Leader, change magazine). Additionally, she has supported organizations as a speaker, trainer, and coach with shifting their mindsets regarding exhaustion and recovery.

https://youtu.be/w1ZbzfSrdFk Michael Viane, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor, and Keynote Speaker, is driven by a mission to help people overcome challenges and find the clarity to act. His Marathon Mindset Framework includes Purpose, Preparation, Pace, and Perseverance—four guiding principles that help individuals and teams sustain momentum and avoid burnout in pursuit of long-term goals. We dive into Michael's journey from a 30-year corporate career to coaching, inspired by a desire to live with purpose and help others do the same. He explains how leaders can use the Marathon Mindset to navigate overwhelm, maintain strategic focus, and build resilience. Michael also shares the concept of DMAs (Difference-Making Actions)—intentional, goal-aligned tasks that counter reactive busyness and drive daily progress. --- Make a Difference Each Day with Mike Viane Good day, dear listeners, Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. And my guest today is Michael Viane, Executive Coach, Strategic Advisor, and Keynote Speaker, empowering individuals, teams, and organizations to overcome challenges and find the clarity to take action. Michael, welcome to the show. Thank you, Steve. Thank you for that nice introduction. I copied it from your LinkedIn page, so it wasn't my creation, but I think it's a good one. So as an introduction, by way of introduction, Michael, why don't you share what is your personal “Why” with our audience? I will give you a rather lengthy answer on it. My “Why” started after 30 years in corporate America of having the recognition that I was waking up each day without any passion for what I was doing, without any sense of fulfillment at the end of my day. And the recognition that I needed to find the courage to move forward and do something that I deserved. And that was to have passion and fulfillment in my everyday life, to want to wake up in the morning and do things. And I had the very obvious and rewarding recognition that my greatest accomplishments in my career were always in coaching and mentoring people on my team to be greater organizational contributors, to be future leaders. And when I said this to people, they said, let me introduce you to somebody. And I met a coach. I met a business coach who explained to me what he does. And then I was introduced to Focal Point Business Coaching. And at Focal Point, we have the idea that we are a pebble in the pond, and that when we help one person and we drop that pebble into the pond, we see the ripple effect go out. My “Why” is literally to help others, to teach others, and make even the smallest of difference in their lives and in their business worldShare on X so that it creates that pebble in the pond ripple effect and it affects and makes people who work for this business owner, their lives better, their family lives better, the community stronger. This is my goal, this is my “Why,” this is my passion. Okay, love it. To be the pebble in the pond and create the ripple effect, that is awesome. And definitely coaching can create that, especially when you coach executives who then coach their direct reports and their family life gets better. Let's talk about how you do that and one of the things that you talked about earlier when we chatted really struck a chord with me when you talked about the marathon mindset. It's not a sprint, it's a marathon. And how do marathonists think about the race and how they pace themselves? So, what is the Marathon Mindset and what are the four Ps of the Marathon Mindset? Yeah, and this was actually the topic of our Focal Point conference this year. The Marathon Mindset and the four Ps. The four Ps are Purpose to begin with. And we just talked about this and “Why.” Our “Why.” So we talk about our purpose. then we talk about Preparation. Preparation is our process, our ability to plan, our ability to practice, to set goals, to have a mental readiness,

Communicate Trust & Respect through body language  Hi everyone, Carl Gould here with your #70secondCEO. Just a little over one minute investment every day for a lifetime of results. Communicate trust and respect through your body language. And this is a universal communication strategy, and we will practice that. So there are three elements that influence another person to your point of view. One of them is words. One of them is your voice qualities, and the other is your physiology, meaning how you stand and how you move. So words of the three, all three make up 100%, words, would you guess, make up what percentage of what influences another person to your point of view? 30? Seven? Any other guesses? 15? 16? I like it. He goes to auctions. I'm going 60.  You go 15, I'm going 16. All right, add them all up, okay? And it's 7%. Like and follow this podcast so you can learn more. My name is Carl Gould and this has been your #70secondCEO.  

People are typically very uncomfortable exisitning in what appears to be a paradox. I think where we often get tripped up is when we believe we have to resolve these tensions—pick one truth and discard the other. But what if wisdom and life comes from learning to stand in the paradox? To hold both truths at once.

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Kijuan Amey, Chief Motivation Officer of Amey Motivation LLC. He highlights his extraordinary journey living his dream of working in the Air Force to an accident that changed him forever. He shares how redefining his life through resilience, faith, and the power of vulnerability, gave him what he needed to thrive again.   In today's episode, we discuss: Reframe vulnerability as a source of strength. Embrace open self-expression and honesty about your struggles. This can foster healing, help you confront past pain, and empower both yourself and others. Acknowledge and address mental health openly. Recognize the reality of emotional struggles, such as depression after trauma. Seeking support and being transparent about difficulties can reduce stigma and provide relief. Remind yourself that setbacks do not define you. Internalize the mantra, “my situation does not define who I am.” Use this belief to separate your identity from your circumstances and maintain hope for your future. Appreciate the hidden lessons in adversity. Understand that challenges during childhood or unexpected setbacks build resilience and self-reliance. Apply this mindset to reframe today's difficulties as opportunities for growth. RESOURCES: Guest Bio From serving in the US Air Force to becoming a CEO, mentor, and bestselling author, Kijuan's journey has been nothing short of remarkable. Born and raised in Durham, NC, he's a true testament to the power of determination and perseverance.  - Serving 10 years in the Air Force, advancing to the rank of Staff Sergeant.  - Former Vice President for the Carolina regional group of the Blinded Veterans Association.  - Mentor and ambassador for the Air Force Wounded Warriors program.  - A talented drummer with 25+ years of experience.  -On-stage actor. - Author of the bestseller, "Don't Focus on Why Me."  In a life-altering moment on May 5th, 2017, he lost his eyesight in a motorcycle accident. But as Kijuan says, "I may have lost my sight, but I did not lose my vision."  Now, Kijuan is a motivating force, empowering others to overcome odds and achieve success. No matter the audience or location, he's ready for the task, from captivating crowds of 1,500 to one-on-one sessions, he is now the chief motivational officer of Amey Motivation LLC.   Website/Social Links: ♦      LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/kijuan-amey-783889121?utm_source=share&utm_campaign=share_via&utm_content=profile&utm_medium=ios_app   ♦      Instagram:     https://www.instagram.com/kijuanamey?igsh=NmZtNHRqbW1meWNy&utm_source=qr   ♦      Facebook:     https://www.facebook.com/share/1Bq7zzDeV5/?mibextid=wwXIfr   Belinda's Bio: Belinda Pruyne is a renowned Leadership Advisor, Executive Coach, Consultant, and Keynote Speaker recognized for her ability to transform executives, professionals, and small business owners into highly respected, influential leaders.

Unser heutiger Gast begann seinen Weg alles andere als geradlinig: Mit 15 flog er von der Schule, ohne Abschluss, ohne Netzwerk, ohne Plan. Heute ist er Senior Director bei SAP, Bestseller-Autor, TEDx-erprobter Keynote-Speaker und Gastdozent an der EBS Universität. Dazwischen liegen Stationen bei Radio, bei Red Bull, in der Start-up-Szene und eine beispiellose Karriere, die vor allem eines zeigt: Wie kraftvoll der unkonventionelle Weg sein kann, wenn man sich traut, gegen den Strom zu schwimmen. Er gilt als kreativer Wegweiser für Wandel in Unternehmen, als Vordenker für Mindful Leadership und als inspirierende Stimme für eine Arbeitswelt mit mehr Menschlichkeit, Neugier und Mut zum Unperfekten. In seiner Rolle bei SAP entwickelt er nicht nur marktorientierte Innovationsnarrative, sondern begeistert mit Storytelling, das Tiefgang und Leichtigkeit verbindet, immer mit dem Ziel, komplexe Ideen verständlich und emotional zu machen. Sein Buch trägt den passenden Titel: „Alles, was du im Leben wissen musst, hast du schon im Kindergarten gelernt.“ Es ist eine Einladung, sich spielerische Leichtigkeit, kindliche Neugier und kreativen Mut zurückzuerobern, gerade jetzt, wo KI und Komplexität die Arbeitswelt umkrempeln. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In 500 Gesprächen mit über 600 Menschen haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie geändert hat – und was sich noch ändern muss. Warum lohnt es sich, die kindlichen Fähigkeiten wie Neugier, Mut und Verspieltheit wieder freizulegen und wann haben wir sie eigentlich verloren? Was können Führungskräfte lernen, wenn sie wieder mehr fragen, spielen und zuhören, statt zu bewerten, kontrollieren und zu optimieren? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute mit Christian Wehner. [Hier](https://linktr.ee/onthewaytonewwork) findet ihr alle Links zum Podcast und unseren aktuellen Werbepartnern

In this episode of The Self-Employed Life, I had the pleasure of speaking with Katie Keller Wood, Montessori educator, TEDx speaker, and author of the upcoming book Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance. We challenge the myth of work-life balance and instead explore the powerful metaphor of a life mosaic—how different aspects of our life can align without rigid separation. Katie shares how purpose-driven work, often viewed with guilt or skepticism, can actually be a vital source of personal meaning and fulfillment. She draws from Montessori principles in order to emphasize the importance of not losing oneself in their meaningful work, but instead cultivate awareness, alignment, and joy in all areas of life. This episode is for anyone wanting to do their purpose work and create a meaningful life without burning out.   Dr. Katie Keller Wood grew up in the world of education, and delights in helping people find new ways of thinking about the world. Discovering Montessori education, both as a pedagogy and a philosophy, was pivotal for her, and she is on a mission to bring a Montessori perspective of work to everyone.    Katie has had the great honor of working with hundreds of middle and high school Montessori teachers from all over the world through the training program she runs, called CMStep. She is recognized as a leader in Montessori programming for adolescents and adults. Any given semester might find Katie teaching undergraduates at the University of Virginia, where she earned both her bachelor's and her doctorate degrees, master's students at Xavier University, or doctoral students at the University of Wisconsin-River Falls. She is active in the Montessori research and teacher education communities.    Katie does her work because she believes that a more peaceful, just, equitable, and sustainable world is possible, and that it takes all of us leading our aligned lives to bring this world forward. Katie lives in Richmond, Virginia, and is a TEDx and keynote speaker and a sought-after presenter for workshops and conferences. Alignment: A Montessori Approach to Reimagining Work-Life Balance is her first book.     Guest's Contact – Linedin Website Book Contact Jeffrey – JeffreyShaw.com Books by Jeffrey Shaw Business Coaching for Entrepreneurs Watch my TEDx LincolnSquare video and please share!

When the flood came, the warnings didn't. In this episode, a deadly cascade of communication breakdowns and the consequences of delay. At least 129 people are dead, with dozens still missing, after historic flash flooding swept through central Texas. The timeline reveals a gap between federal alerts and local action. Lives were lost in those hours.We examine what went wrong, why the local warning system never materialized despite years of requests, and how messaging from state and national leaders continues to fail the public in real-time. From delayed sirens to political deflections, this is a story about infrastructure, accountability, and the high cost of silence.Plus: the Camp Mystic aftermath, FEMA's delayed deployment, the governor's football analogy, and the backlash to a viral video that reframed the tragedy through race and privilege.The floodwaters receded. The questions haven't.Want More Behind the Breakdown?
