Podcasts about know what you

Leaders make lots of key decisions—but one decision can be the separator between leadership that sustains and leadership that thrives. In this week's episode, John reveals how the choice to be intentional transforms good leaders into great ones and empowers you to make a real difference. After his lesson, Mark Cole and Traci Morrow unpack the practical steps you can take to apply these principles in your own leadership. Key takeaways:  Generational greatness demands intentional actions, a growth mindset, and a commitment to serving others.  The best leaders shine their light in the darkest times by focusing on solutions and courageously solving problems rather than cursing the darkness.  Daily disciplines, consistency, and a focus on adding value to people are what make a powerful leadership legacy possible.  Our BONUS resource for this episode is the One Decision That Separates Good Leaders From Great Leaders Worksheet, which includes fill-in-the-blank notes from John's teaching.

Today's featured guest will talk through the decisions most agency owners get wrong: when to stay involved, when to let go, and how the absence of rigor compounds into structural problems you won't even notice until you're stuck. He'll talk about how bad hiring decisions led him to become the bottleneck, how he's trying to fix that, as well as why your "number" for how much your agency is worth is probably based on nothing, and the one financial habit that gives you genuine optionality. Scott Leff is the founder of Leff, a B2B content marketing agency serving global professional services firms and nonprofits for over 16 years. His background spans business communications working as a managing director for a big brand, as well as a 22-month stint leading communications for Chicago's bid for the 2016 Olympic Games. When the bid failed in the first round, he found himself in a period of reinvention. With the gig economy just taking off, he decided it was time to hang up his shingle. He started to take freelance work, which eventually led to hiring and forming his own business. This agency grew steadily, exploded during COVID, and is now navigating the reassessment most established agencies are facing in a shifting market. In this episode, we'll discuss: Why becoming the bottleneck isn't always about control The hiring rigor every owner should have Which metrics are you tracking?

Knowing What You Should Never Have Delegated For the first ten-plus years of his agency business, every meaningful decision flowed through Scott or his business partner. That wasn't always a problem, but as the agency grew and decision-making had to push down through a management layer, cracks formed. Not because the team was incapable, but because they were being handed authority without the context, direction, or support to use it well. Hiring is the clearest example Scott points to. He gave department managers the autonomy to bring in their own people, which was a reasonable call on paper. But in a culture-driven organization like an agency, where your people are both your product and 80% of your overhead, that's the one decision you can't outsource and expect to get right. The fix wasn't micromanaging the process. It was figuring out the specific places where the founder's perspective is irreplaceable, and staying in the conversation there, even when it's uncomfortable to be involved. Hiring Rigor Is Not Optional and Most Agencies Are Winging It Scott attended a conference session led by someone who'd overseen hiring at Amazon and other large organizations. The biggest takeaway was a story about Jeff Bezos showing up to a debrief with three to four pages of handwritten notes on candidates, while everyone else showed up with nothing. That level of intentionality is what most agencies are missing entirely. The real problem isn't that agency owners don't care about hiring. It's that they go in underprepared, unclear on exactly what they're looking for, leaning on gut instinct, and writing role descriptions that don't reflect the actual job. To ensure you're getting applications from candidates that truly align with your agency and the required role, every part of the hiring process should be a test. Attention to detail? Bury the real application instructions at the bottom of the job post and see who finds them. Hiring a senior exec? Don't tell them much, give them a week and ask them to come back with a 90-day success plan. If they dive into answers before they ask a single question, that tells you everything. The point isn't the process for its own sake. It's that rigor on the front end reduces the cost of being wrong, and in an agency, being wrong on a hire is expensive for a long time. Watch Who You're Hiring From: Big Agency Talent Doesn't Always Travel Well There's a version of agency hiring that looks like a smart move: pull experienced people from larger, more established shops and let them install what's already working somewhere else. Here's why that doesn't work: You end up with talented people who are skilled at operating inside infrastructure, not building it. When there's no large team to direct, no resource pool to draw from, no SOP baked in for the last decade, they stall. The answer when things aren't cut and dried can be "that's not my job." And then it's nobody's job. Scott saw a version of this play out during the Olympic bid. Big consulting firms had seconded teams into the organization, and the ones who thrived were the ones who could operate in ambiguity. The ones who couldn't were waiting for a structure that was never going to show up. The lesson isn't that experienced people from large agencies are bad hires. It's that the ability to figure things out without a system to lean on is the filter. And you have to test for it explicitly, because someone's resume will not tell you whether they have it. Declining Revenue Doesn't Equal Failure, but You Have to Know What You're Actually Measuring Your revenue may seem like the only metric that felt like it matters when it's going up every year. However, a modest drop of five or ten percent, can be a big psychological blow even though profit improves and client impact is strong. That's a vanity metric doing its job: making growth feel like identity. Scott hit a similar inflection point when a former client asked him a simple question, why are you growing? Scott didn't have a clean answer. He'd been operating on the assumption that growth was inherently the goal, not a means to something else. The conversation points to a structural reality: if revenue is the only number you track, you'll optimize for it even when it costs you margin, leverage, and time. The healthier question is whether the agency is building toward the outcome you actually want, more optionality, a sellable asset, or just more control over your calendar. Revenue is a lagging indicator of that. Not the scoreboard. The Decision to Sell Your Agency Has Nothing to Do With Your Number Most agency owners carry a number in their head of what they want to walk away with when they sell. The problem is that the number is usually arbitrary, the market timing is unpredictable, and nobody warned them about the identity crisis that hits the week after closing. The right time to sell isn't a target revenue year or a specific EBITDA multiple. It's when you know exactly what you're walking toward and when the thought of running the agency has stopped feeling like a challenge and started feeling like a weight you've been carrying for six months straight. On the valuation side, Scott's question about what agency owners get wrong surfaced a hard truth: if your EBITDA is under a million dollars, your multiple takes a significant hit, and the buyer math looks very different than what you've been calculating off top-line revenue. Build the foundation like you intend to sell it. Get rid of what you hate. Make it structurally independent. Then you have real options,  whether or not you ever actually sell.

He came to America from Cuba at 5 years old. His mom cleaned houses. His dad drove trucks. And somewhere between working 3 jobs, going through EMT school, and becoming a Miami-Dade firefighter — Lazro "Laz" Gonzalez decided he wasn't built to just survive. He was built to be Legendary. Laz is the founder and majority owner of Legendary Fitness — one of South Florida's fastest-growing gym brands with 4 locations across Miami (Doral, Kendall, Cutler Bay, and Legendary Pilates) and a 5th on the way in Broward. He started with $15,000 in savings, a shady business partner who was stealing from the gym, and COVID shutting his doors just months after he took sole ownership. He didn't quit. In this episode, we break down every stage of his journey — the hustle, the betrayal, the pandemic grind, the culture he built, and why he believes there's only one real secret to winning in business: your people. He also gets into relationships, mentorship, franchising, the "pillars vs fillers" philosophy that runs his entire company, and the one piece of advice that's followed him since his 20s. This one is for the builders, the grinders, the ones who refuse to let the ghost of their potential haunt them.

MOORE As Chief People Officer, Tanya drives initiatives that empower West Monroe's employees and foster a high-performing, supportive culture. Tanya partners with leadership to develop the next generation of leaders, ensuring our people are fulfilled and our employee experience remains a key differentiator. Before joining West Monroe in 2023, Tanya was Chief People Officer at M.C. Dean and spent two decades with IBM, where she led award-winning programs that shaped the company's transformation. She holds an MBA in organizational development from the College of William and Mary. Outside of work, she serves on several advisory boards, including The Conference Board's CHRO Council, the William and Mary Consulting Board of Directors, and the She-Suite Board of Advisors. She is also a sought-after speaker on topics such as workforce transformation, the evolving role of HR, and leveraging AI to advance people and organizational transformation. Key Takeaways 1. Senior Candidates Should Run a Due Diligence Process, Not Just an Interview Tanya's 18-interview process wasn't excessive — it was intelligence gathering. She was evaluating CEO relationship dynamics, board influence, team readiness, and organizational appetite for change. Candidates at any level should approach interviews as a two-way assessment. 2. Know What You're Actually Looking For Before You Start As Tanya put it: smart, kind, humble people. Work she enjoys. Some fun. The clearer you are about your non-negotiables before you start a job search, the better your decision-making will be when offers come in. 3. Employee Ownership Changes the Employment Relationship With 74% of West Monroe employees holding equity in the company, the ownership mindset isn't a metaphor — it's structural. This is a genuine differentiator in total rewards and shapes how employees engage with the business and with clients. 4. Benefits Signal Culture, Not Just Compensation Tanya's view: the specific benefits matter less than what they reveal about a company's values. Organizations that invest in comprehensive, thoughtful benefits are signaling that they see employees as whole people — and that signal is what candidates are actually responding to. 5. COVID Permanently Raised the Floor on Benefits Expectations The pandemic gave people permission to stop and ask what actually matters. Flexibility, mental health support, and personalized benefits have moved from nice-to-have to expected — and companies that haven't caught up are losing candidates to those that have. 6. Open Roles Are a Hidden Employee Retention Risk Every unfilled position means someone else on the team is absorbing that work. The longer a role stays open, the more likely you are to lose another employee as a result. Time to fill is a culture and retention metric, not just a talent acquisition metric. 7. AI in Recruiting Should Eliminate Low-Value Steps, Not Human Connection West Monroe's approach to AI was surgical: identify every step in the recruiting process where technology could add value, and use it there — so recruiters can spend more time on the high- touch, high-judgment work that actually moves candidates. Automated scheduling and AI- assisted interview feedback are the easy wins. 8. Feedback Loops Are the Biggest Bottleneck in Consulting Firm Hiring Getting busy managers to interview isn't the hard part — it's getting their structured feedback afterward. Tools like BrightHire that record interviews (with consent) and auto-generate notes and scoring against the job description are solving a real, expensive problem. 9. Burnout Needs Programmatic Solutions, Not Just Resources Pointing employees to an EAP or mental health benefit isn't enough when burnout is systemic. West Monroe is exploring more customized, structured support for employees who are struggling — moving from reactive to proactive people care. 10. AI Is the Internet — Embrace It or Fall Behind Tanya's optimism about AI isn't naive — it's grounded in historical perspective. Just as nobody predicted what the internet would become, nobody fully knows where AI is going. Her advice: use it, test it, let it make you smarter. "F around and find out."   00:00 – Introduction Adam introduces Tanya Moore, CPO at West Monroe, and sets up a conversation about benefits, candidate experience, and the modern people function. 01:30 – Meet West Monroe & Tanya Tanya describes West Monroe's differentiators — quality, speed to value, client NPS — and traces her career from 20 years at IBM to her current CPO role. 04:00 – Being the Candidate: 18 Interviews Tanya shares what it was like to go through 18 interviews as a senior exec, why she didn't quit, and what she was actually evaluating along the way. 07:00 – What Senior Candidates Should Really Ask The questions Tanya asked that most candidates don't: CEO relationship dynamics, board influence and hands-on vs. hands-off style, team readiness, and what really happens when things go wrong. 10:00 – Modernizing People Ops at West Monroe, walking into an org with no succession planning and no workforce planning, and the systematic approach Tanya took to rebuild people functions from the ground up. 13:00 – Redesigning the Candidate Experience How West Monroe overhauled its recruiting workflows after adopting Greenhouse, dramatically improving time to hire, reducing cost, and elevating both candidate and manager experience. 16:00 – Time to Fill as an Employee Retention Metric Why open roles aren't just a talent problem — they're a burnout and satisfaction risk for the employees left picking up the slack. 18:30 – Employee Ownership as a Total Rewards Differentiator How West Monroe's half employee-owned model and 74% equity participation rate changes how people show up — and how it's positioned as a benefit in the recruiting process. 21:00 – Benefits Beyond the Basics From childcare and dog walking to expanded mental health support, Tanya breaks down what West Monroe offers and why COVID permanently shifted candidate expectations around benefits. 24:00 – Flex Benefits & the Future of Personalization Tanya's vision for benefits that let employees choose what matters to them — gym memberships, yoga, wellness stipends — rather than a one-size-fits-all package. 26:30 – Tackling Burnout Proactively West Monroe's evolving approach to burnout: moving beyond standard mental health appointments toward more customized, programmatic support for employees who need it most. 29:00 – AI in Recruiting: Where It's Actually Working From automated interview scheduling to BrightHire's AI-powered feedback tools, Tanya walks through specific efficiency gains that are giving recruiters more time for high-value human work. 32:00 – Getting Feedback from Busy Hiring Managers The real bottleneck in consulting firm recruiting isn't getting managers to show up — it's getting their feedback afterward. How BrightHire is solving that. 34:30 – An Optimist's Take on AI & the Future of Work Tanya closes with her big-picture view on AI — likening it to the early internet — and her direct advice to anyone still on the fence: "F around and find out."

Jeremy Keil explains how 5 smart moves could impact your ability to claim $180,000 or more as a couple in Social Security. If you’re about to file for Social Security, there's a real possibility you could be leaving a significant amount of money on the table. This isn't a small decision. For many retirees, Social Security ends up being one of the largest income sources they'll ever rely on. And unlike many other financial decisions, this one is mostly permanent. Once you file, there are very limited opportunities to undo it. That's why getting it right before you file matters so much. In this episode, I walk an article I recently wrote for Kiplinger magazine five key moves to help you make a more informed decision. Why This Decision Matters More Than You Think Many people think of Social Security as a simple choice: Pick an age. Pick a number. File when it feels right. But in reality, your Social Security decision can impact: Your lifetime income Your tax situation Your investment strategy And even your spouse's financial future Research completed by Larry Kotlikoff shows that the average couple can miss out on over $180,000 in lifetime Social Security income simply by choosing the wrong time to claim. And for higher earners, the total value of Social Security over a lifetime can reach into the seven figures. This is not a decision to make casually. Move #1: Verify Your Earnings Record Your Social Security benefit is based on your highest 35 years of earnings. If there are errors in your record—even just a couple of missing years—it can reduce your benefit for the rest of your life. That's why your first step should be logging into SSA.gov and reviewing your earnings history carefully. If something is missing or incorrect, it's your responsibility to correct it. Even small errors can create a permanent reduction in income. Move #2: Use the Retirement Calculator (Not Just the Statement) Your Social Security statement is helpful—but it's based on assumptions. Specifically, it assumes you'll continue earning income at your current level all the way until full retirement age. If you plan to retire earlier, those estimates can be significantly overstated. Instead, use the retirement calculator to input your actual plan. Adjust your future earnings based on when you expect to stop working. That will give you a much more accurate estimate of your benefit. Move #3: Know What You've Already Earned Many people don't realize how much of their Social Security benefit they've already built. By setting future earnings to zero in the calculator, you can estimate your “vested” benefit—what you would receive based only on your past work. This can be eye-opening. Some people discover they've already earned most of their benefit, and working additional years doesn't significantly increase it. Others realize they still have meaningful gaps that could impact their future income. Either way, this step helps you make decisions based on facts instead of assumptions. Move #4: Understand Your Longevity Your Social Security decision is essentially a timing decision based on how long you expect to live. Yet most people guess. Instead of guessing, take a few minutes to use a longevity calculator and understand your probabilities. If you're married, this becomes even more important. The key question isn't just how long you might live individually—but how long at least one of you is likely to live. That joint life expectancy plays a major role in determining the value of delaying benefits. Move #5: Solve the Right Problem This is where many people go wrong. They treat Social Security like an investment decision—focusing on break-even points or rate of return. But Social Security isn't an investment. It's insurance. Its purpose is to provide income in later years, support a surviving spouse, and protect against the risk of living longer than expected. When you shift your thinking from “How do I maximize returns?” to “What role does this play in my plan?” the decision becomes much clearer. The Bottom Line Social Security is one of the few decisions in retirement that is both highly impactful and largely irreversible. That combination makes preparation critical. Before you file, take the time to: Verify your data Use accurate projections Understand what you've already earned Consider your longevity And frame the decision correctly Because when you get Social Security right, it strengthens every other part of your retirement plan.

The firm advisors think they know is not the firm that exists today. And if you are going to say NO, at least know what you are saying no to. Frank LaRosa goes one on one with Brian Mora of Ameriprise for a candid conversation that challenges some of the most common misconceptions advisors carry about one of the largest and most innovative firms in the industry. Frank and Brian break down what $1.7 trillion in assets actually means for an advisor looking for stability in a consolidating market, why Fortune named Ameriprise one of the most innovative companies in America and how their AI-powered CFP brain is giving advisors back hours of time every single week by transforming how they prep for meetings, generate recommendations and summarize client conversations. They also get into the numbers that matter most. Advisors who transition to Ameriprise are at 101% of their hiring assets after just 12 months, compared to the industry average of 91%. The conversation also breaks down how their digital transition process moved a billion dollar team onto the platform in just 16 days and why a firm telling you it takes six months to transition your book is a red flag you should not ignore. The episode closes with the message Frank keeps coming back to: before you say no to Ameriprise, at least know what you are saying no to. Because the firm advisors think they know is not the firm that exists today.   Questions answered in this episode include: Why are advisors surprised by what Ameriprise has become in the last 20 years? What does $1.7 trillion in assets mean for the stability of the firm you choose? How is Ameriprise using AI to help advisors grow their practices and serve clients better? What is the CFP brain and how does it work inside an advisor's practice? Why do Ameriprise advisors move 101% of their book after transitioning when the industry average is 91%? How fast should a book of business actually move when an advisor transitions today? What is the impact analyzer and how does it help advisors see the real financial difference of growing faster?   Chapters: 00:00 — Know What You're Saying No To: The Ameriprise Truth 01:04 — Why Ameriprise Surprises People: 1.7 Trillion and the Innovation Awards 03:00 — How Ameriprise Changed 20 Years Ago and Why It Matters Now 06:18 — Fortune, Time, and the Case for Innovation 09:18 — The CFP Brain: AI That Thinks Ahead for Every Client 10:07 — Meeting Summarization and Giving Advisors Their Time Back 12:52 — 101% vs 91%: Why More of the Book Moves at Ameriprise 15:37 — 16 Days, a Billion Dollars, and the Digital Transition Difference   Learn more about Elite and our resources: Elite Consulting Partners | Financial Advisor Transitions https://eliteconsultingpartners.com Elite Marketing Concepts | Marketing Services for Financial Advisors https://elitemarketingconcepts.com Elite Advisor Successions | Advisor Mergers and Acquisitions https://eliteadvisorsuccessions.com JEDI Database Solutions | Technology Solutions for Advisors https://jedidatabasesolutions.com Elite Wealth Management Insights Report https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/insight-report Listen to more Advisor Talk episodes https://eliteconsultingpartners.com/podcasts/

There's a story about how to catch a monkey. You place its favorite treat in a box with a small hole. The monkey can slide its open hand in, but once it clenches its fist around the treat, it can't pull its hand out. The monkey is trapped—not by the box, but by its own refusal to let go. In a recent episode of the Personal Mastery Training podcast, hosts Alvin Brown and Dr. Charlie Cartwright use this powerful metaphor to explain the Sunk Cost Fallacy: the psychological trap that keeps us invested in failing relationships, dead-end jobs, and bad decisions long after we should have walked away. Key Highlights from the Discussion The Sunk Cost Fallacy Explained: Whether it's being "pot committed" in a poker game or holding onto a stock as it plummets to zero, the logic is the same: "I've already invested so much, I can't quit now." This irrational thinking traps us into throwing good money (or time, or energy) after bad. Why We Stay: The Comfort of Dysfunction: We often cling to negative situations because they are familiar. The human brain is wired to prefer the certainty of a known misery over the scary uncertainty of a new path. We get comfortable in our discomfort. You Don't Know What You're Missing: You often cannot see how much a toxic environment is suppressing your potential until you're finally out of it. The very skills being criticized where you are now could be the exact skills that make you thrive somewhere else. The Art of Letting Go: The hosts shared the story of Buddhist monks who spend hours creating beautiful sand mandalas only to sweep them away upon completion. This teaches a vital lesson: growth requires non-attachment and the courage to release past efforts to make way for the future. How to Escape the Trap: Take an Honest Inventory: Make a list of the pros and cons of staying versus leaving. Is the familiar pain worth the missed opportunity for growth? Bet on Yourself: A bird on a branch doesn't trust the branch; it trusts its own wings. Are you willing to bet on your ability to fly? Weigh the Price vs. the Promise: The promise of freedom and passion comes at a price: uncertainty and turbulence. Decide if the reward is worth the risk. The Takeaway Look at your life. Where are you the monkey with its fist stuck in the box? What "treat" from the past are you refusing to let go of, even though it's keeping you trapped? The first step to freedom is recognizing that the cage door is open. All you have to do is unclench your fist and walk away.

Delta Airlines is set to revolutionize its pricing strategy by implementing artificial intelligence to determine the maximum price customers are willing to pay for flights. This shift aims for AI to influence 20% of ticket prices by the end of the year, a significant increase from the current 3%. The technology, developed by travel firm Fetcher, analyzes customer behavior and market conditions in real time. However, this personalized pricing strategy has raised concerns among privacy advocates, who argue that it may feel invasive and could erode customer trust. The implications of this dynamic pricing model extend beyond Delta, as businesses across various sectors may face similar challenges in balancing profitability with customer perception and regulatory compliance.OpenAI has launched the ChatGPT Agent, a new capability that allows the AI to perform complex tasks autonomously, such as analyzing calendars and creating presentations. This advancement marks a significant shift from AI as a mere assistant to an autonomous actor capable of executing commands independently. The ChatGPT Agent has demonstrated impressive performance metrics, outperforming previous iterations in various benchmarks. However, OpenAI has acknowledged potential risks, including prompt injections that could lead to unintended actions with private data. As the AI landscape evolves, Microsoft's Copilot struggles to gain traction, highlighting the competitive challenges in the market.The podcast also discusses Intel's announcement of significant layoffs affecting over 5,000 employees as the company grapples with declining relevance in the semiconductor industry. The new CEO, Lip Butan, emphasizes the need for Intel to become leaner and more agile, reflecting a shift from previous costly turnaround strategies. This situation underscores the importance for service providers to pivot before clients feel the impact of supply chain issues. As Intel navigates these challenges, the broader implications for the tech industry and its workforce are significant.Finally, the episode touches on internal chaos at OpenAI, as highlighted by former engineer Calvin French-Owen, who points out organizational challenges stemming from rapid growth. The lack of centralized planning has led to inefficiencies and communication breakdowns within the company. Additionally, the media industry's misguided pivot to AI is critiqued, emphasizing that quality journalism relies on human connection rather than automated output. The discussion raises important questions about the future of AI, data management, and the evolving landscape of technology, urging listeners to consider the implications for their own businesses and clients. Three things to know today 00:00 Delta's AI Wants to Know What You'll Pay—Is That the Future of Business?04:32 OpenAI Unveils ChatGPT Agent: AI Now Acts Autonomously With Virtual Computer08:41 Intel Slims Down: Leaner Team, Fewer Chips, Big Questions Ahead09:45 Is AI the Fix or Just a Fad?

In this reflective episode of Shark Theory, Baylor Barbee packs up for a road trip to the Ozarks with his dog Bear and unpacks a deeper life lesson: everything has a cost. Whether it's money, time, energy, peace of mind, or love—every pursuit, relationship, and goal in life demands a form of currency. The key? Knowing if what you're paying is worth what you're getting in return. Through vivid analogies—from Peruvian exchange rates to yacht club comparisons—Baylor challenges you to evaluate your current exchanges. Are you simply undervalued in the wrong environment, or is it time to reimagine your currency and strategy altogether? Key Takeaways: Nothing in Life Is Truly Free: Even "free" experiences require effort, sacrifice, or time. Be clear on the cost behind everything you value. Know What You're Really Spending: Time, energy, mental bandwidth—these are currencies. Guard them wisely and invest them intentionally. Maybe You're Just in the Wrong Market: If you feel undervalued, it may not be your worth—it may be your environment. Use Personal Litmus Tests: Measure what you give (books sold, stages spoken, love offered) against the return. If it doesn't balance, re-strategize. A Life Well-Lived Is One With Return: When your investment—of self, time, energy—is appreciated, respected, and reciprocated, you're in the right place. Notable Quotes: “The best things in life aren't free—they just cost something other than money.” “You're not broken—you might just be priced in the wrong market.” “Everything you do has a cost. The question is—what's your return?” “The goal isn't just to be valued, but to be valued in the right place.” “If your currency isn't respected, don't change the currency—change the room.”

To Benefit from a Functional Mushroom, You Need to Know What You're Getting.Not all fungal products are equal. Functional "mushroom" products generally contain EITHER the mushroom (fruiting body) OR the mycelium (vegetative body). Notice the quotations around the word "mushroom."Even though mushrooms and mycelium are two very distinct and different parts of these fungal organisms, some supplement purveyors label their products as containing mushrooms when in fact, they contain only grain, and the mycelium that grows on it.  Both the scientific research and respected practitioners in the field confirm that the functional value is higher when using the mushroom, rather than the mycelium. Especially if it's a mycelium fermented grain product, which ends up being mostly grain.Guest: Chief Medical Herbalist Lee Carroll from the Real Mushrooms Science & Medical Team.

A CMO Confidential Interview with Dr. Eugene Soltes, Harvard Business School Professor and author of "Why They Do It - Inside the Mind of the White Collar Criminal". Eugene discusses how most crimes start out as small, often unnoticed decisions made by strategic people, how nearly everyone has a chance to step over the line, why many companies (Air BnB, Uber, AI) take regulatory risk, and how culture drives poor individual choices. Key topics include: when puffery gets murky; why it's dangerous to "convince yourself;" why it doesn't matter "who signed off;" and the "fraud triangle." Listen in to hear why humility and counterpoints are critical, what he learned about risk assessment from the Free Solo climber, the "difference between being an arms dealer and a transportation company," and how there are "a million ways to pay a bribe."In Part 2 of our conversation with Harvard Business School professor and author of Why They Do It, Dr. Eugene Soltes, we dive even deeper into the ethical gray zones that surround today's most ambitious companies. From social media firms that hide behind “just connecting people” to leaders who convince themselves their actions are justified, Eugene explains how culture, rationalization, and groupthink drive even the smartest executives into trouble.You'll learn why having a sign-off from Legal is never enough, why the “show me where it says I can't” culture is so corrosive, and why CMOs must understand the difference between business risk and integrity risk. We also hear Eugene's story of climbing (briefly) with Free Solo legend Alex Honnold and how that shaped his thinking around open-eyed risk—a model every marketing leader should understand.Topics include: • Why CMOs can't hide behind Legal • The “arms dealer” mindset in corporate marketing • Risk culture vs. innovation culture • How companies accidentally incentivize bad behavior • Psychological safety vs. performative candor • The million ways bribes get disguised • The importance of personal humility—even in the C-Suite

In this episode of Financial Advisors Say the Darnedest Things, A.B. Ridgeway provides practical and actionable tips for anyone struggling to save money, regardless of their income level. He tackles two key problems: the misconception that saving a set dollar amount is the key to success and the lack of clarity about what you're saving for. A.B. introduces the concept of saving by percentages rather than fixed amounts, offering a simple yet effective strategy to build the habit of saving. He explains how saving even a small percentage of your leftover income, such as 10%, can lead to gradual growth in savings over time. Whether you're saving for an emergency fund or retirement, A.B. emphasizes the importance of creating sustainable habits and understanding the purpose behind your savings goals. This episode will help you shift your mindset and develop a more effective approach to personal finance.Key Takeaways:Save by Percentages, Not Fixed Amounts – A.B. emphasizes that saving a percentage of what's left over after bills, even if it's just a small amount, is more sustainable than setting a fixed dollar target. This method encourages building a habit of saving consistently.Know What You're Saving For – Before you start saving, it's crucial to define your goals. Whether it's for an emergency fund, retirement, or something else, having clear intentions makes your saving efforts more focused and effective.Gradual Growth Leads to Financial Security – By saving small amounts consistently, you'll develop the habit of saving, which can eventually lead to larger savings as your income increases or expenses decrease.Quotes:“You are going to invest or save by percentages. Everyone can save by a percentage. It doesn't matter how small. The important part is getting into the habit.”“If you don't know what number is going to give you financial security, you're always going to be wanting more, because there's always one more dollar to make.”“The key to saving for your future isn't how much you save, but the habit of saving. Even a small percentage over time makes a big difference.”

Student loan forgiveness is much in the news these days. It's on. It's off. It's on again, maybe. What's the lesson here? The lesson is this: Avoiding student loan debt is much easier than getting out of it. It just takes discipline. We'll talk about that with Dr. Art Rainer today. Dr. Art Rainer is the founder of the Institute for Christian Financial Health and Christian Money Solutions. He is a regular contributor here at Faith & Finance and the author of “The Money Challenge for Teens: Prepare for College, Run from Debt, and Live Generously.” A Biblical Foundation for College FinancesWhen it comes to preparing for college, it's important to keep Proverbs 22:7 in mind: “The rich rules over the poor, and the borrower is the slave of the lender.” This verse serves as a crucial reminder that borrowing money, especially for education, can lead to long-term financial burdens. It's easy to accumulate tens of thousands of dollars in student debt that could take decades to repay.Four Strategies to Minimize College DebtIn The Money Challenge for Teens, Dr. Art Rainer outlines four key strategies to help students minimize, or even avoid, college debt:Start Saving Now: The sooner you begin saving for college, the less you'll need to borrow.Take College-Level or AP Courses Now: These can reduce the number of credits you need to take in college, lowering your overall tuition costs.Explore Scholarships and Grants: There's a wealth of financial aid available, but you need to seek it out and apply diligently.Be Willing to Work While in School: Many students work part-time jobs to help cover tuition and reduce the need for loans.While these strategies require effort and discipline, they're far easier than paying back $30,000 or $40,000 in student loans after graduation.Avoiding Costly Misconceptions About CollegeDr. Art Rainer also shares a list of common misconceptions that can lead to unnecessary student debt. Understanding and avoiding these pitfalls can make the college journey much smoother:Misconception #1: Attending a Costly School Guarantees a Better Job: Higher tuition doesn't always translate to higher salaries. Employers care about your degree, not how much you paid for it.Misconception #2: You Need the Whole “College Experience”: Some students work during college to offset tuition costs, which can prevent long-term debt.Misconception #3: It's Okay to Stretch Out College: While there's some flexibility, extending your degree program can increase costs and the risk of not completing your degree.Misconception #4: You Don't Need to Know What You're Signing: Educate yourself on student loans before signing anything. Understand the commitment and explore alternatives.Misconception #5: Everything Will Take Care of Itself: Student loans are difficult to escape, even surviving bankruptcy. It's crucial to manage your debt and avoid complacency.Misconception #6: There's No Other Option: While college costs are high, there are always options like scholarships, grants, and community college. Explore every avenue before taking on debt.Putting in the Hard Work NowIt's far better to put in the hard work now—saving, applying for scholarships, and working while in school—than to be burdened with student debt later. By being proactive and informed, students can avoid the financial pitfalls that so many others face.For more insights and resources from Dr. Art Rainer, visit his website at ChristianMoneySolutions.com.

I can't believe this is episode #300! My first podcast was published on October 25th, 2017. Shortly after that, I put out four additional episodes utilizing some material I had already created. I had no idea where I was going to go with the podcast after those initial episodes – I only knew that I really, really wanted to podcast and believed it was the best way for me to get my brilliance out into the world.  There has been an evolution of The Exclusive Career Coach, to be sure…As the focus of my practice evolved, so did the audience I spoke to via the podcast. Earlier episodes were heavy on content for recent college graduates; there were also episodes for wanna-be entrepreneurs. I went from no guests to having about 25% of my episodes be with guests, before settling on about 10% guest episodes.  I used to “bracket” episodes with themes…spending three or four weeks in a row breaking down a larger topic like interviewing or career decision-making.  I will admit that finding new content for the podcast has become increasingly difficult. ChatGPT has been extremely helpful in guiding me towards the topics people are searching the internet for. I also rely heavily on the “zeitgeist” – what my clients are asking me about and what I'm seeing talked about on social media and in online groups I am a member of.  Now for the meat of episode #300 – My Best Career Advice. I'm going to reference specific episodes and have included the links to those episodes in the show notes. I've awarded winners in each of the categories of podcasts I release, Academy Award style.  Winner of My Best Advice for Career Decision-Making: #119 – Are You Squarely in the Center of Your Passion? This episode resonates deeply with me, as I talk about how so many people leave who they really are at home when they go to work. As a result, work is unfulfilling and mind-dulling. https://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2020-03-18-119-are-you-squarely-in-the-center-of-your-passion I give three case studies of people I have worked with who were squarely in the center of their passion, and why.  Two books I recommend in this episode are Tim Kelley's “True Purpose” and Po Bronson's “What Should I Do with My Life?” Great episode for those of you who are questioning whether you have lost your way, career-wise…or just want reassurance that you haven't.  Winner of Best Advice for Managing Your Career: #219 - Ten Symptoms of Job Burnout – and What to Do About Them http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2022-03-25-219-ten-symptoms-of-job-burnout-and-what-to-do-about-them This episode was published on March 23rd, 2022 as the world emerged from Covid. Although this episode wasn't specifically about Covid-related burnout – I brought on guests to talk about that topic – it was about how to specifically recognize that what you are experiencing at work is burnout.  For each of the Ten Symptoms, I provide a question to ask yourself and what to do about that symptom. Hint: While some of the Ten Symptoms suggest that you may need to look elsewhere, only two of the Symptoms outright require moving on.  Great episode for those of you who aren't feeling it at work, but don't know why. Or you suspect what the problem is, but don't know what to do about it.   Winner of Best Advice for Making a Career Transition:I actually have three episodes for this category – all related to career pivots and career reinventions. #121 – Career Pivots and Reinventionhttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2020-04-01-121-career-pivots-and-reinvention #133 – Is Now the Perfect Time to Reinvent Your Career? https://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2020-06-24-133-is-now-the-perfect-time-to-reinvent-your-career #280 – What You MUST Do in Your Job Search if You Are Pivoting Careershttp://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-07-19-280-what-you-must-do-in-your-job-search-if-you-are-pivoting-careers In these episodes, I define career pivots and career reinventions, give strategies for successfully navigating a career pivot or career reinvention, talk about the pros and cons of a career reinvention, and give strategies for job searching when you have decided to pivot or reinvent your career.  Great episodes for those of you who are considering a career pivot or career reinvention – or those of you who are dissatisfied with your current career path and want to explore alternatives.   Winner of Best Advice for Dress & Etiquette:I haven't done many episodes in this category, and some of them are with guests, which I'm leaving for a separate category.  #291 – What Should I Wear to a Job Interview? http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-10-04-291-what-should-i-wear-to-a-job-interview In this episode, I address the questions I'm getting about how to dress for job interviews in a post-Covid world. I cover WHY dress still matters, how to determine what is appropriate dress for the company culture, and the levels of business casual.  Great episode for those of you with a job interview coming up, whether in person or via technology.   Winner of Best Advice for Job Interviews:Consistently, the episodes I publish about interviewing are among the most downloaded – clearly people are roaming podcasts to get ready for a job interview.  I began with episodes covering more general aspects of the job interview; since then, I've gotten more granular with the scope of what I cover.  I've selected three winners, all covering the behavioral interview: #277 - Behavioral Interview Questions Don't Come Out of Thin Air – How to Know What You're Going to Be Asked http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-06-14-277-behavioral-interview-questions-dont-come-out-of-thin-air-how-to-know-what-youre-going-to-be-asked #262 – The Behavioral Interview: Your Five-Step Process for Delivering Job-Winning Answershttp://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-02-22-262-the-behavioral-interview-your-5-step-process-for-delivering-job-winning-answers #150 - Putting a Bow on Your Behavioral Interview Answers http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-02-22-262-the-behavioral-interview-your-5-step-process-for-delivering-job-winning-answers I cover what a behavioral interview question is, how to prepare for these types of questions, and how to wrap up your answers with one of two approaches that garner you what I like to think of as “bonus points.”  Great for those of you who have job interviews coming up!   Winner of Best Advice for Job Search:This is a HUGE category! I could have gone in a lot of different directions with the winner, but I chose a foundational concept that benefits EVERYONE looking for a new job.  #258 - How to Organize Your Job Search Time to Optimize Your Results http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-01-25-258-how-to-organize-your-job-search-time-to-optimize-your-results I provide five strategies for structuring your job search time to yield the best possible results.  Great for those of you who find your job search time gets hijacked by other things – and those of you who find your job search time isn't being used wisely.   Winner of Best Advice for Life Coaching:To be clear, I am a Certified Executive & Leadership Development Coach, not a life coach. However, life coaching is an unregulated industry, and I am a student of life coaching.  It's incredibly important for me to talk about your mindset when we talk about most of these other topics, but your thoughts WILL generate the results you get.  These five episodes each cover an aspect of the thought model taught by one of my early coaches, Brooke Castillo. In a nutshell: A Circumstance is a situation in your life that can be proven in a court of lawYou then have a Thought – positive, negative, or neutral – about that CircumstanceThat Thought generates a Feeling for youThat Feeling generates an Action, Inaction, or Reaction, whichLeads to your Result #38 - The Neutrality of Circumstanceshttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2018-12-19-038-the-neutrality-of-circumstances #39 - Your Thoughts Determine EVERYTHINGhttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2018-12-19-039-your-thoughts-determine-everything #40 - How Do You Want to Feel?https://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2018-12-19-040-how-do-you-want-to-feel/ #41 – Taking the Proper Action Stepshttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2018-12-19-041-taking-the-proper-action-steps #42 - You ARE Getting Results…Are They the Results You Want? https://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2018-12-19-042-you-are-getting-results-they-the-results-you-want/ Great for those of you who want an easy-to-understand framework for looking at the results you are getting in your life…and why.   Winner of Best Advice for Leadership:Several of the episodes about Leadership include guests, but here's a great foundational one with 10 points you must know to be a successful leader.  One I think is often overlooked is #7 – ask for advice on your leadership. Many new leaders – and seasoned ones as well – are either afraid to ask or don't think they need to. Be open to feedback from your direct reports and you'll become an even better leader. #223 – Leadership 101: What You MUST Know to Be a Successful Leaderhttp://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2022-04-20-223-leadership-101-what-you-must-know-to-be-a-successful-leader Great for those of you entering into your first leadership role, or those of you who could benefit from a refresher.   Winner of Best Advice for LinkedIn: This is another huge category. Because technology is involved, some of my earlier podcasts on LinkedIn contact outdated information.  I chose this episode because this is a concept I teach a lot of my clients – how to leverage the people their connections are connected to.  #244 – Mining Your Connections' Connections on LinkedInhttp://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2022-09-28-244-mining-your-connections-connections-on-linkedin Great way to expand your LinkedIn network strategically and easily.   Winner of Best Advice for Networking: Of all the networking-related episodes I've put out, I've gotten the most feedback on this one. I think that's because Introverts resonated with the topic – and many Extraverts did, too.  One of my goals in my practice is to help my clients become successful networkers – getting past their fears, learning how to network effectively, and how to give as much value as they get in the networking process.  #295: Help! I'm an Introvert and I Hate Networkinghttp://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-11-01-295-help-im-an-introvert-and-i-hate-networking Great for everyone who is less than excited about networking.   Winner of Best Advice for Professional Development:I did this episode in the later days of Covid, when so many were working remotely and others had gone back into the office. I was getting a lot of questions about how to make sure your work was noticed when you didn't have direct face time with your boss. #221 – How to Get Noticed and Promoted While Working Remotely http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2022-04-06-221-how-to-get-noticed-promoted-while-working-remotely Great for those of you who still work remotely, and those of you who supervise remote workers.   Winner of Best Advice for Resume Writing:It may surprise you that, as one of fewer than 25 Master Resume Writers in the world, I don't love talking about resume writing.  I love WRITING resumes. Having said that, I have put out great content covering all aspects of the resume. The episode I chose goes into some detail on how to customize your resume for each position you apply for. Everyone tells you you SHOULD do that – but I wanted to tell you exactly HOW.  #287 – How to Tailor Your Resume and Other Materials For a Specific Positionhttp://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2023-09-06-287-how-to-tailor-your-resume-and-other-materials-for-a-specific-position Great for those of you in a job search.   Winner of Best Advice for Salary Negotiations:I've only done a handful of episodes on this topic; the episode I chose provides you some foundational teaching I do with my clients who want coaching on salary negotiations.  #149 – Salary Negotiations: 3 Important Numbershttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2020-10-14-149-salary-negotiations-3-important-numbers/ Great for those of you who are in a job search.   Winner of Best Advice for Work Issues:This category covers a lot of ground and it was difficult to pick a favorite. The one I chose is one I frequently send a link to for clients and those I consult with.  #169 – Questions to Ask Your Manager to Improve Your Relationshiphttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2021-03-17-169-questions-to-ask-your-manager-to-improve-your-relationship/ This is another one I frequently send links to out to folks:#171 – How to Have a Successful 1:1 With Your Bosshttps://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2021-03-31-171-how-to-have-a-successful-11-with-your-boss Great for those of you who not only want to improve your working relationship with your boss, but also those of you who want to maximize the effectiveness and frequency of your 1:1 with your boss.   And finally, Winner of Best Guest:As I tell you every time I have a guest on the podcast – I don't often HAVE guests on the podcast. Think of this as a Venn diagram: I want a guest who overlaps the areas of expertise I have (in other words, not someone talking about something completely off-target for my audience), BUT who doesn't completely overlap my area of expertise (I've already got those areas covered, thank you very much).  I want to give out two awards here; the first is for the episode I most frequently direct people to listen to: #154 – Five Ways Mind Drama Can Creep Into Your Job Searchhttps://www.exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2020-11-18-154-5-ways-mind-drama-can-creep-into-your-job-search-with-jane-springer Jane Springer was my guest on the episode – BTW, she earns a side award for being my most frequent guest. Mind drama is a HUGE issue in the job search…and completely avoidable. In this episode, we talk about the 5 ways mind drama can show up when you're looking for a job – and what to do about each.  My second award goes to the person who most affected me personally; this episode rocked my work in more ways than one. #247 – Are You Ready for a Career Break? http://exclusivecareercoaching.com/posts/2022-10-19-247-are-you-ready-for-a-career-break-with-katrina-mcghee Katrina McGhee talks about her own experience with taking an extended, planful career break – and how you can do the same. P.S. – She recently published her book: Career Break For Dummies” – check it out!  Great for those of you who have a life goal you'd like to achieve that requires a concentrated amount of time away from work – and those of you who have a deep need for rest and regeneration.   So, happy 300th episode! To those of you who listen faithfully each week, I so appreciate your dedication to enhancing your career – and that you trust me for that help. For those of you who pop in and out based on the topic each week – I greatly appreciate you too! You know what you need, and you trust me to give it to you. I'm here for all!  Here's also to another who-knows-how-many episodes. As long as I continue to love delivering them to you and you are listening – and the world hasn't moved on from podcasts to some other platform – I'll be here.   If you are a high-achieving professional with the goal of landing in the C-suite, the Highly Promotable coaching program may be just the ticket! This 1:1 program is targeted to strategically leverage one of your strengths to become a signature strength — and move the needle on one of your developmental areas so it becomes a strength.  This is a four-figure investment in your professional future!

October 16, 2023The Funny Thing About YogaWe Talk Nonsense, then Get Serious about Sequencing Episode No. 36The title says It all: this episode begins with casual banter that spirals into a lot of nonsensical talk between Giana and Bradshaw. It's a conversation that paints a clear picture of their dynamic, which often involves Giana trying to lay out the foundation and Bradshaw bouncing to the beat of his own drum. After chatting about therapy, water aerobics, nudity, language, conjugal visits, gonorrhea, and vaginas they finally take a deep breath and focus. They get serious about sequencing and talk about why It is so important to have a plan and blueprint.

Gladie - "Heaven, Someday" from the 2022 album Don't Know What You're in Until You're Out on Plum Records Recorded in early 2022, Philadelphia band Gladie chose an appropriate name for their second LP: Don't Know What You're in Until You're Out. The thoughtful title covers more than just the pandemic. As frontwoman Augusta Koch explained to Flood magazine, "We decided to name the record this because it deals a lot with the theme of shifting into a new mindset, and with that change you can objectively look back and see what you were going through without your thought processes being clouded by being in the thick of it." She adds, "I think it's also an ambiguous title in a way, because I like the idea that it can be interpreted as both a positive and a negative. Like, the duality of both ‘you don't know what you're in until you're out' could seem sad because it implies hardship and turmoil, but it can also seem hopeful in the sense that although you're going through something really rough, there's hope that it will get better — you will change, you will survive it, and you will be able to view yourself and your surroundings from a totally new perspective." Today's Song of the Day continues that theme of duality. She tells Flood, it "was written during the height of the 2020 doomscroll-bad-news factory, when we were all putting in overtime. It's about trying to combat the fear of the outside world and your inner demons at the same time. There's still some hope to hold onto, though, and it's important to remember that even both the inside and outside feel inhabitable."
