This week's episode kicks off Part One of The Top PR Wins and Fails of 2025 by pulling straight from the headlines and social media feeds that dominated the year. Instead of rehashing scandals, it digs into the decisions behind them: who understood the moment they were in, who badly misread their audience, and who confused being everywhere online with being trusted. From cultural power plays to celebrity miscalculations, the pattern is clear and a little uncomfortable. You can win the attention economy and still lose credibility. Part Two, covering the top five PR wins and fails of the year, drops next week.If you work in strategy or communication, join Molly on December 17 at 12 PM ET for a 60-minute live media training that breaks down a crisis in real time. RFK Jr is being hit from two sides at once. Now Olivia Nuzzi's memoir is out, weeks after Tatiana Schlossberg's essay landed a punch. We'll walk through the headlines, the data, the sentiment, press coverage, then map out what a competent response would actually look like. Click here to attend. Want More Behind the Breakdown?

Bright Suns! Throughout this year we have celebrated Disneyland's 70th Anniversary by looking at the nine lands of the park. And as the celebration continues in Anaheim, we continue our celebration here on Disney Insights. Today we look at Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. This is perfect because this land especially references the last three film series in the larger trilogy. This week Star Wars: The Force Awakens came out ten years ago into the movie theaters. So much of that film and the two others that fall after it tie into the Black Spire Outpost of Star Wars Galaxy's Edge. We're going to relive the opening of this themed land at Disneyland, talk about the similarities and differences to its twin at Disney's Hollywood Studios, and then share with you my top 7 Easter egg-style references to Star Wars within this land. Join us as we celebrate Star Wars Galaxy's Edge on Disneyland's 70th anniversary. _______________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Success does not eliminate pressure. It often multiplies it.Once you experience a win, the fear shifts from “what if I fail?” to “what if I can't do it again?” In this episode, I unpack why success can feel heavier than failure, how emotional attachment to outcomes distorts clarity, and why many people end up running in place even while working hard.We explore how open loops, unfinished commitments, and mental clutter quietly drain focus, energy, and momentum. I share why learning to detach emotionally from outcomes is not about becoming numb or disconnected, but about creating enough objectivity to take better action. When everything feels personal, every fluctuation feels like failure.You'll learn how to:Detach your identity from results so one miss doesn't spiral into self-doubtClose open loops that create constant mental taxationCut through noise, distractions, and unnecessary commitmentsSay no with intention so yes actually means somethingMeasure progress beyond a single KPI or narrow definition of successBuild systems, structure, and infrastructure that support sustainable growthWe also talk about why sustainability must come before scalability, how discipline fills the gap when motivation fades, and why progress often comes from doing less, more intentionally, instead of chasing everything at once.This episode is a reminder that clarity creates momentum, simplicity creates leverage, and consistent execution is what turns intention into real results.Close the loops. Cut the noise. Get to work.Beyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize. Market.

More money. More time. Or both.If what you offer helps people get one or both, demand should not be the problem. When it is, the issue is rarely the product. It is how the value is communicated. The problem is most businesses bury that value under features, specs, and what I call “knowledge vomit” and then wonder why buyers do not move.In this episode, I break down why marketing fails when it cannot clearly validate outcomes. Buyers do not struggle with features or specs. They struggle with confusion. If your message does not quickly show how you help them make money, save time, or both, they will move on, even if what you offer is genuinely strong.We walk through how value gets buried under “impressive” language, why clear always beats clever, and how small disconnects in messaging and experience quietly erode trust and revenue. This is not about hype or shortcuts. It is about making the value obvious at every touchpoint.In this episode, you will learn how to:Translate features into outcomes buyers actually care aboutClarify whether your offer makes money, saves time, or does bothSimplify messaging so decision makers instantly understand the valueFix marketing that looks polished but fails to convertImprove customer experience through small, intentional momentsAlign product, marketing, and leadership around one clear value storyThis episode is for founders, marketers, product leaders, and decision makers who are tired of guessing why marketing is not working. If your marketing cannot clearly prove value, you will not win. When it can, growth becomes more predictable, more sustainable, and far less complicated.Beyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize. Market.

What if you could make every job deeply meaningful — no matter the industry, title, or task?In this episode of The Flourishing Edge Podcast, host Ashish Kothari sits down with Tamara Myles, author, researcher, and founder of Keynote Speaker, to explore the science of meaningful work. Together, they reveal how leaders can turn workplaces into thriving communities where employees feel valued, challenged, and connected.From her groundbreaking research, Tamara shares the Three C's of Meaning — Community, Contribution, and Challenge — and how these elements can unlock performance, loyalty, and fulfillment across organizations.
Reflection can be uncomfortable, especially when the year did not go the way you planned.In this episode, I walk through why reflection is meant to create clarity, not self-punishment. The last month of the year often magnifies comparison, pressure, and second-guessing, but none of those move you forward. What does move you forward is learning the lesson, releasing the shame, and continuing to take action anyway.We talk about why you do not need a new year to create a new outcome, why readiness is a myth, and why discipline and consistency matter more than motivation. Whether this year felt successful, disappointing, or somewhere in between, your experience still holds value if you extract the lesson without letting it define you.In this episode, you will learn how to:Reflect without turning the past into regretSeparate emotion from execution while honoring bothDrop shame without avoiding accountabilityBuild momentum through small, consistent actionsFinish the year strong without burnout or pressureMove forward with clarity instead of comparisonThis conversation reframes reflection as a tool for alignment, not judgment. Progress does not require perfection, a fresh calendar, or the right feeling. It requires one decision, one action, and the willingness to move forward differently.Take the lesson. Drop the shame. Keep moving.Beyond The Episode Gems:Subscribe To My New Weekly LinkedIn Newsletter: Strategize. Market.

Host: Tony JohnsonGuest: Geoffrey Reid Author: The Revenue Catalyst: Mastering the Art of Sales In this episode, I sit down with Geoffrey Reid, a globally recognized sales leader with a rare blend of academic depth and real-world execution. Geoffrey's journey from public policy and mediation to sales leadership gives him a unique lens on how selling really works and why so many organizations struggle to teach it well. We dig into why customers want to buy but hate being sold, how sales has become a full business discipline rather than a single function, and what leaders must do to build sales teams that last. Key Takeaways Customers want to buy, but they do not want to be sold Sales today requires an all-fronts, fifth-dimension approach across the business Intentional hiring matters if you want teams that stay through tough cycles Training, coaching, and development are not optional for sales excellence KPIs should be embedded across the entire sales journey, not just at the close This conversation is practical, grounded, and especially relevant for leaders who want sales to feel less transactional and more connected and intentional.

What happens to your business when the economy shifts, jobs disappear, and your clients start feeling the pressure before you do? How resilient is your pricing, your positioning, and your client base if AI starts replacing roles your customers rely on? And what really changes when you experience Dom's coaching in person — not through a screen, not in theory, but live and unfiltered? In this episode, Dom pulls back the curtain on why Teija Heikkilä was the only choice for keynote speaker at IMPACT 2026 — and why her message lands harder now than ever before. Teija isn't talking hypotheticals. She's built, scaled, and sold multiple pet care businesses, and now helps owners do the same through PetVetMa. Her lens is simple, uncomfortable, and powerful: every business owner exits — the only question is how well. You'll hear Dom and Teija in conversation discussing premium pricing, asset value, exit planning, and a topic most people are skirting around: AI and the knock-on effect it will have on jobs, income, and consumer behaviour. Not from a "tech bro" angle — but from a practical, business-owner perspective. If your clients lose income, change jobs, or feel uncertain… what does that mean for your business? And how do you insulate yourself from that now? Alongside that, Dom shares behind-the-scenes insight from a recent in-person consultation day with Adam Elderfield, PBIC Marketer of the Year. In a single day, they fixed leaks, uncovered hidden money, ruled out entire business directions Adam didn't want — and mapped a clearer, more profitable future. Dom explains why this kind of clarity simply doesn't happen by accident… and why events like IMPACT compress years of trial and error into days. You'll also hear a teaser about the 2026 PBIC Marketer of the Year, what's coming next, and why the people who win in this industry are always the ones willing to get in the room, challenge their thinking, and build businesses designed to last — not just survive. In this episode, you'll discover: Why Teija's Perspective Is Different – Built it. Sold it. Repeated it. And now teaches owners how to do the same. AI, Jobs & the Economy – How shifts outside your business can quietly wreck unprepared ones — and how to stay ahead. Build It to Sell (Even If You Never Do) – Why exit thinking makes your business stronger today, not later. What In-Person Coaching Really Unlocks – Why one focused day beats months of calls and content. Why IMPACT Isn't Just Another Event – Strategy, pressure, perspective, and momentum — live, not theoretical. If you want to understand where the industry is heading — and how to build a business that thrives no matter what changes next — then IMPACT 2026 is where those conversations are happening. If you're tired of being busy, burned out, and underpaid… and you're ready to transform your daycare into a premium, experience-heavy, profit-driven powerhouse… this is the event you've been waiting for.

History advances through concealment. When the world darkens, we must know the inner light is gathering strength. 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.

Everyone knows that the minute Halloween is over the Disney Parks ready themselves for the Christmas holidays. Disney's Animal Kingdom, Disney's Hollywood Studios and Magic Kingdom seem to up and ready overnight, and in the first week or so of November we were able to see the joy of these parks during this time of year. Epcot, on the other hand, waits patiently until its International Food & Wine Festival is over. Then it readies everything for the holidays right before Thanksgiving. Last week I had the chance to spend not one day, not two days, but three days at Epcot, and was re-immersed in how truly fun this approach to holidays around the world really is. This podcast serves to relive many of those experiences, and to consider some previous podcasts where we highlighted this park during the midst of Covid. Then we turn the podcast over to the music of the park, where we have provided musical enjoyment while you make last minute seasonal preparations. So join us for the 2025 Epcot International Festival of the Holidays. Note that music only begins at 37:45. ___________________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Recording Date: November 11, 2025 at the 2025 Fall Business Sports Luncheon. A Series hosted by Chris Holman since Joe Dumars spoke in 2004. Location: Capital Region International Airport (LAN) Todd Martin - Executive Leader, Keynote Speaker, Coach, and Retired Tennis Professional Todd Martin: From World-Class Competitor to Visionary Leader In this video with Todd's presentation: Todd emphasized resilience as a foundation of high performance: in tennis and business, setbacks are inevitable — but it's how you respond, adapt, and learn that separates champions. He stressed the value of team leadership and culture even in individualized fields. As a former World No. 4 and Davis Cup champion, he showed how being a trusted leader and mentor builds long-term value beyond individual wins. Todd highlighted the importance of innovation and reinvention — transitioning from pro-athlete to CEO, mentor and business strategist, he described how staying curious and leveraging one's legacy can create fresh opportunities. He discussed community impact and purpose — noting how he founded his youth-leadership nonprofit out of his early experiences, and how business leaders can strengthen their brand by intentionally giving back and aligning values with actions. Todd Martin is a former Olympian and World No. 4-ranked tennis player whose career was defined by excellence, leadership, and impact. He reached the singles finals of both the 1994 Australian Open and the 1999 US Open and was a cornerstone of the U.S. Davis Cup team from 1994 to 2002—helping secure the championship in 1995. Recognized by his peers for his integrity and insight, Martin served eight years as President of the ATP Tour Player Council, advocating for players and shaping the future of the sport. After retiring from professional play, he transitioned into coaching, mentoring U.S. Olympic Silver Medalist Mardy Fish and a young Novak Djokovic. Martin's post-playing career has been marked by visionary leadership. He served as CEO of the International Tennis Hall of Fame, Head of Tennis at Beemok Capital, and is the Founder and President of Todd Martin Tennis. In May 2025, he joined Swing Racquet + Paddle as Chief Strategy and Operations Officer, continuing his commitment to innovation in racquet sports. Beyond the court and boardroom, Martin has made a lasting impact in his hometown of Lansing, Michigan. In 1993, he co-founded Todd Martin Youth Leadership, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering at-risk youth through tennis, education, life skills, and leadership development. For over 30 years, the organization has been a beacon of opportunity and growth for the community.

This week's episode gives you a front row seat to my Friday live sessions, where culture, crisis, and community collide in the best possible way. Think of it as a sampler plate of reputational highs and lows. Some hits. Some misses. A few absolute disasters. And plenty of sharp commentary from the people who show up ready to spar.We dug into the stories bubbling across media, politics, entertainment, and news. Here's what we got into:• The tightening screws around Pete Hegseth and the trip wires Trump keeps casually laying in public. • Signal Gate, and why the smallest digital habits always tell the biggest story. • The American Eagle campaign, Pantone's baffling color of the year, and the new era of rage bait. • Spotify Wrapped's identity crisis, including why the app suddenly thinks everyone is eighty. • The Lizzo Substack pivot and why her cancellation narrative leaves out the part that actually mattered. • The Belichick and Jordan Hudson saga that refuses to stop producing plot twists. • Erica Kirk's full rebrand tour and what happens when an influencer decides to shed the bling. • The royal chaos machine that somehow keeps spinning even when no one is asking it to. • The early contenders for 2025's best and worst crises, including a few names the audience threw in with real enthusiasm.If you want the unfiltered version, join us live next Friday. Right now, the streams run through Substack, but soon you'll be able to watch on YouTube, Instagram, and Facebook. The room always warms up fast. The opinions never stay polite for long.Until then, pay attention to what people actually react to, not what the talking points tell you. That's where the truth hides.If you work in strategy or communication, join Molly on December 17 at 12 PM ET for a 60-minute live media training that breaks down a crisis in real time. RFK Jr is being hit from two sides at once. Now Olivia Nuzzi's memoir is out, weeks after Tatiana Schlossberg's essay landed a punch.

Disney has announced that Disney Adventure World is opening in Paris on March 29th, 2026. This is one of Disney's biggest remakes of a theme park, one that has had troubled origins and is now just emerging into its own. This park, opened in 2002 as Walt Disney Studios Paris, was hardly a shadow of its sister, Disneyland Paris, and it has gone through decades of struggle to get to this point. With some 2 billion euros invested, it now transforms into a much bigger footprint with some 90% of the original park completely reimagined. This transformation is huge with new lands, attractions, dining, shows and technology. And it's only the beginning as more construction points toward more offerings to follow. ________________________________________________________ Disney Insights YouTube Page--Check it out and subscribe.

Negotiation used to be easy just 40 years ago, so why is it more complex now? Todd Caponi, the acclaimed author of 'Four Levers of Negotiation,' joins us to unravel the detailed tapestry of sales negotiation. Todd brings his rich understanding of how salespeople have been propelled into a new era of active negotiation. We dig into the roots of negotiation skills, tracing back to the Consumer Protection Act and exploring how the groundbreaking strategies from the 1980s, like "Getting to Yes," continue to influence today's practices. This discussion challenges sales professionals to adapt to an era marked by transparency and AI while maintaining trust and delivering real value. Our conversation takes a closer look at the critical role of pricing consistency in negotiations. Todd and Mark explore the nuances of establishing a uniform pricing strategy that builds trust and ensures profitability.

From Battlefield to Boardroom: A Global Legacy of Courage, Compassion & Leadership This week, the Team Never Quit Podcast welcomes a truly extraordinary guest: Dr. Sudip Bose — emergency physician, Iraq War veteran, entrepreneur, medical innovator, and one of the world's most dynamic voices at the intersection of medicine, military leadership, and business. Few leaders embody resilience and global perspective the way Dr. Bose does. His story spans continents, combat zones, emergency rooms, and corporate boardrooms—all shaped by deep heritage and a lifelong commitment to service. A Legacy Rooted in Courage and Heritage Born in the United States to parents who emigrated from Kolkata, Dr. Bose carries a powerful cultural heritage. Fluent in Bengali and proud of his lineage, he is a descendant of: · Netaji Subhas Chandra Bose, legendary freedom fighter · Jagadish Chandra Bose, pioneering scientist · Satyendra Nath Bose, the physicist behind the concept of bosons Their spirit of bravery, intellectual curiosity, and innovation lives on in Dr. Bose's own journey. Leadership Forged in War Dr. Bose's leadership was tested early—on the front lines of Iraq as a U.S. Army physician under the most intense combat conditions. He earned the Bronze Star Medal for his service and was entrusted with treating Saddam Hussein after his capture. More than the accolades, the battlefield taught him the principles that guide his life: · Stay calm when others panic · Find clarity in chaos · Turn adversity into opportunity · Let heritage and values anchor global impact These lessons follow him into every trauma bay, boardroom, and keynote stage he steps into today. From the ER to the Global Stage After returning from combat, Dr. Bose transitioned into civilian life—continuing his work as an emergency physician while expanding his influence across medicine, media, innovation, and policy. His roles include: · Executive Producer of Desert Doc, the Telly Award–winning Amazon Prime docuseries revealing the realities of emergency medicine · Founder of The Battle Continues, a nonprofit supporting injured combat veterans · EMS Medical Director for the largest geographic hospital coverage area in the U.S.—19 counties and 38,000 square miles · Advisory Board Member for DrB.ai, a global digital health platform increasing access to affordable care · Trusted Advisor to the U.S. Congress on healthcare policy · Keynote Speaker for Fortune 500 companies and major financial institutions Across everything he does, Dr. Bose bridges healthcare, military discipline, and business strategy—helping leaders thrive in high-stakes environments. This is a masterclass in courage, clarity, service, and global leadership—told by a man who has lived it on every front line imaginable. In this episode you will hear: • [My sister] She's a CEO but sometimes she's the CEO of my chaos. (7:46) • I basically started med school at 21; I got my MD at 25. (8:59) • I remember sitting with my dad and asking him: “What can I do where I don't have to study?” (10:58) • Things that are just tragic and sad; they shape you later. You don't realize it at the time. (11:47) • I think if they had an award in high school for least likely to go in the military, I might have gotten that award. Guess what? In Junior high – 6th grade – I weighed 49 pounds. I was tiny. I didn't hit 5' tall until my sophomore year of high school. (12:33) • I'm in the books as the Illinois state champion in wrestling, because nobody could match my weight division. (13:11) • You don't realize how your world can change in a moment, and what seems like irrelevant work or homework or assignments later in life might save your life. (16:32) • In Iraq, I find myself cooped up in this ambulance. An armored 5-7-7 track medical vehicle with metal wheels, jostling to the next section of Bagdad or Fallujah and then the vehicle comes to a screeching halt, the back door opens and you hop out like a frog jumping out of a blender. And you find yourself on the front lines of the battlefield. (21:33) • There are the mental challenges of losing people you know. (22:52) • You love [life] saves where you can have them unite with their family. (27:11) • Within hours of getting there, there were two soldiers that came in and I had to pronounce dead. You just realize, wow, you are in it now. (31:19) • You cant take care of everyone, but by training my medics, I multiplied myself. (34:02) • [Marcus] You scored the number 1 in the nation on your medical exam board; You scored at the top of the Army physical fitness test; A Bronze Star; Recognized by CNN as a CNN hero; You're one of the leading physicians in the world; [You served] The longest combat tour since WWII; You treated Saddam Hussein. (52:26) • I evaluated [Saddam Hussein] shortly after his capture. (56:10) • You have to put your feelings, emotions, everything side, so you can focus. (57:45) • Somebody told me I might be the only person who has ben face to face with Saddam Hussein and shaken hands with George W. Bush. (58:38) • The people who gave their lives, their vision, their limb, made the ultimate sacrifice for our nation. Those people wrote the blank check, up to and including the cost of my life. That's what keeps me motivated. (59:48) • The journey keeps going forward and the battle continues… (75:55) Support Dr. Bose: - Website: https://www.docbose.com/ - IG: https://www.instagram.com/drsudipbose?igsh=MWZhbjJqNXNxazk2aA== - Watch “Desert Doc” —> https://tr.ee/Wds2TOBWTP - YouTube —> https://tr.ee/DlNDNGdGo0 Support TNQ - IG: team_neverquit , marcusluttrell , melanieluttrell , huntero13 - https://www.patreon.com/teamneverquit Sponsors: - Tractorsupply.com/hometownheroes - Navyfederal.org - mizzenandmain.com [Promo code: TNQ20] - Dripdrop.com/TNQ - ShopMando.com [Promo code: TNQ] - meetfabiric.com/TNQ - masterclass.com/TNQ - Prizepicks (TNQ) - cargurus.com/TNQ - armslist.com/TNQ - PXGapparel.com/TNQ - bruntworkwear.com/TNQ - Groundnews.com/TNQ - shipsticks.com/TNQ - stopboxusa.com {TNQ} - ghostbed.com/TNQ [TNQ] - kalshi.com/TNQ - joinbilt.com/TNQ - Tonal.com [TNQ] - greenlight.com/TNQ - PDSDebt.com/TNQ - drinkAG1.com/TNQ - Hims.com/TNQ - Shopify.com/TNQ

A close look at Tatiana Schlossberg's viral New Yorker essay, A Battle with My Blood. It is an emotional piece that blends grief, legacy, and quiet fury, and it signals a deeper shift inside the Kennedy family. The episode walks through the layers of the essay and the choices behind it. From the shock of Schlossberg's leukemia diagnosis, to the way she describes the strained healthcare system, to her understated but unmistakable criticism of Robert F. Kennedy Jr., this story becomes both a personal account and a moral document. This episode explores why the timing mattered, why the family dynamics matter, and why this essay reshapes the public conversation around RFK Jr. as Olivia Nuzzi's forthcoming book adds another external blow. The episode closes with a look at the media cycle, the political stakes, and the long arc of the Kennedy legacy. Want More Behind the Breakdown?

About Our Guest: Maraya Brown is a Yale and Functional Medicine Trained Women's Health Expert (CNM, MSN). She runs The Women's Vibrancy Code and is a Podcaster, Retreat Host and Facilitator, Mom, Wife, Keynote Speaker and Founder who left her Fortune 50 Corporate Career to serve women. She deeply appreciates and respects food as medicine and mindset matters. She helps ambitious women build a legacy without burnout by helping them fine tune their nutrition, supplementation, mindset, passion and ascension from the past to a vibrant future. She is a mom of 3 children 11 and younger, and a wife to an amazing man with heart. Her work online brings her 23 years of experience supporting women together in one place to co-create deep transformation, hormonal health, consistent stamina, and undeniable confidence and passion. Maraya has managed Women's Health in Federally Funded clinics and Functional Medicine private practices and has been a part of international health endeavors in Nicaragua, Ghana, and Haiti. Today, she works online as a women's health and empowerment expert. She has caught hundreds of babies and now “midwife's woman through chapters of change.” She has served thousands of women across multiple continents and is the Founder of the Women's Vibrancy Code. Episode Summary: This episode is powered by The 7 Figure Shift Workshop “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown Can we be honest?! There is an often-overlooked link between hormone balance and a woman's ability to lead, speak and be seen at scale. And because it's been overlooked, we are definitely not taking it into consideration as women leveraging & scaling business empires. That stops TODAY. If you're scaling to seven figures while secretly ignoring the signs your body is whispering (or screaming), this episode is your wake-up call. Legacy-led leadership doesn't come from burnout; it's built from balance. In this intimate and disruptive conversation, Dr. Darnyelle sits down with Maraya Brown—Yale-trained CNM, women's health expert, and powerhouse CEO—to unpack the truth about what it really takes to sustain your brilliance without sacrificing your body. We're talking hormones, perimenopause, adrenal fatigue, libido, nervous system regulation, and the untold cost of hustling while hormonally depleted. You'll finally understand how your body, brain, and bank account are inextricably linked—and why optimizing your internal ecosystem is your next million-dollar move. Whether you're in the boardroom, the bedroom, or the bleeding edge of burnout, this is the episode that will change the way you do business—because if your health is on the back burner, so is your impact. This is your invitation to ditch the myth that scaling a business means sacrificing your body. If you've been running on caffeine, willpower, and survival mode, it's time to reclaim the vitality that fuels true overflow. Hit play to discover why the real ROI comes when your hormones, heart, and hustle are finally aligned. Here's the truth: A dysregulated nervous system, depleted hormones, and unresolved trauma will cap your capacity faster than any business bottleneck. Most seven-figure CEOs aren't underperforming—they're over-extended and under-resourced internally. Your strategy isn't broken—your system is screaming. Real overflow starts in your body. You'll walk away with a powerful framework to reconnect with your physical body as a portal to profit, new language for understanding what your burnout and libido are really trying to tell you and a reset button for how you show up in your business and your relationships. Get your Move to Millions Podcast notebook ready—you'll want to take notes on the lessons packed into this incredible conversation! Listen in to discover: ✔ How to identify hormonal imbalances that are silently sabotaging your business success ✔ Why regulating your nervous system is the ultimate secret to scaling with sustainability ✔ 3 non-negotiables every 7-figure woman must prioritize to access overflow, pleasure, and profit ✔ And so much more This episode is a call to stop gaslighting your own body in the name of ambition. It's time to shift the paradigm: from success that depletes to success that sustains. In a market that glorifies hustle and downplays healing, this episode challenges the high-achieving woman to get radically honest about what she's carrying—physically, emotionally, and hormonally—and how it's affecting her ability to lead, love, and live fully. Maraya Brown delivers insights that will shift your physiology and your profitability. Powerful Quotes from The Episode: “Radical honesty is the bridge between the body you have and the life you crave.” – Maraya Brown “Your body doesn't lie—but you've learned to ignore her.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “We cannot grow sustainably in our business if we're silently eroding in our body.” – Maraya Brown “Overflow is not just about money; it's about hormones, health, and harmony.” – Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Most women think their exhaustion is normal; but it's not your normal, it's your nervous system in distress.” – Maraya Brown Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Where in my life am I pretending I feel fine when I'm actually depleted? What story am I telling myself about needing to “push through” that no longer serves me? How might honoring my body create more income than any launch or sales strategy? When was the last time I felt deep, sustainable energy and vitality? What would radically honest self-care actually look like in this season?

This week's episode dives into a crowded lineup of public figures who all managed to confuse PR maneuvering with actual accountability: President Trump's “quiet piggy” moment on Air Force One and the broader pattern behind his attacks on women in the press, Larry Summers' fog-filled non-apology after his Epstein emails resurfaced, Pope Leo XIV's straightforward call for human dignity contrasted with a White House response that dodged the moral point entirely, Kevin Spacey's nightclub comeback performance and his ongoing attempt to swap personal suffering for responsibility, and Meghan Markle's Harper's Bazaar profile, complete with an Upper East Side house manager announcing “Meghan, Duchess of Sussex” to an empty room. It's a week full of case studies in what happens when leaders and celebrities choose optics over truth, and why audiences, voters, and stakeholders are paying closer attention to who names their missteps and who tries to PR their way out of them.Want More Behind the Breakdown?

In this episode, Dean Newlund and Kim Rogne discuss:Redefining balance for high achievers beyond comparisonThe emotional and psychological roots of burnoutLessons from trauma and forced slowdown as catalysts for changeEgo, control, and the illusion of productivity in leadershipReflection, self-awareness, and delegation as tools for sustainable success Key Takeaways:Define what balance personally means to you—free from comparison, external standards, or social media illusions—and recognize the moments when you're already living it.Build regular reflection into your schedule, whether through journaling, quiet mornings, or monthly check-ins, so you can slow down enough to notice what needs to shift before burnout hits.Practice the “Four D's”—do, delegate, delay, or dump—to lighten your load and retrain your mind to see asking for help as a strength rather than a weakness.Pay attention to when busyness becomes a form of self-validation, and intentionally replace that constant need to fix and prove with rest, purpose, and self-compassion. "When we do slow down, we can recognize when we're in balance.” — Kim Rogne Connect with Kim Rogne: Website: http://kimrogne.com/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kimrogne/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kim.lewerenzrogne & https://www.facebook.com/KimRognesForTheLoveOfInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/kimrogne/ See Dean's TedTalk “Why Business Needs Intuition” here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EEq9IYvgV7I Connect with Dean:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCgqRK8GC8jBIFYPmECUCMkwWebsite: https://www.mfileadership.com/The Mission Statement E-Newsletter: https://www.mfileadership.com/blog/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/deannewlund/X (Twitter): https://twitter.com/deannewlundFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/MissionFacilitators/Email: dean.newlund@mfileadership.comPhone: 1-800-926-7370 Audio production by Turnkey Podcast Productions.

As entrepreneurs, money impacts every aspect of our businesses, from pricing, team expenses, taxes, and more. But true success goes beyond just having money; it's about fostering a healthy and abundant relationship with it. Today we're continuing the BBD Live Keynote Speaker Series and replaying a special episode we did earlier this year that is too good not to share! My special guest is none other than Kate Northup, who is back on the podcast to talk everything money and how to heal your relationship with it. In fact, it's almost impossible to have a thriving business without being good with money and keeping a focus on your relationship with it, which is what makes this conversation with Kate such an important one to be having, and to be sharing with you again! Kate will be joining me on the stage this year at BBD Live 2025 in December in Phoenix, Arizona and we are not doing one next year! I don't know when the next in-person one will be, which is why we wanted to pull out all the stops and make this the biggest and best ever, so if you want to see Kate Northrup and all of our other amazing speakers rock the stage and blow minds at BBD Live 2025, go to www.jameswedmore.com/tickets ASAP to see if tickets are still available)!

Ep 136 is personal.I'm back behind the mic after six life-changing months. I became a girl dad. I traveled to Africa for the first time and delivered my first TEDx talk in Uganda.

I talk about killing hustle culture, choosing intention over pressure, and building a life that feels aligned, not forced. I also break down the Shadow Line Principle and how one tiny shift can unlock real growth in your life and your business.If you are rebuilding, recalibrating, or trying to grow with more intention and less noise, this one is for you.Let's talk life.Let's talk growth.Let's talk about the tiny shift that changes everything.And let's celebrate your friendly neighborhood Strategy Hacker® giving you perspective once again.Tune in.
