This second Best Of She Slays 2025 episode brings together some of the most impactful conversations of the year around business growth and leadership—the kind that challenges you to think bigger, lead better, and evolve beyond the role you originally built your practice around. Growth isn't just about adding patients, revenue, or offers. It's about learning how to make harder decisions, step into leadership with confidence, and build a business that doesn't rely on you doing everything yourself.In this episode, you'll hear curated segments on the future of solo practice and the rise of group models, how to lead effective and ethical sales conversations, why bravery and optimism are trainable leadership skills, how to use AI to scale your impact without losing your voice, and how to identify the real source of burnout before it derails your career. Together, these conversations reinforce one essential truth: sustainable growth requires leadership that supports both the business and the human running it—and without that foundation, success eventually becomes unsustainable.Want to listen to the full version of one of the featured episodes?

The Definition Of Leadership - Yvonne Clise - January 4 by Pastor Larry Huch

From Coca-Cola to McDonalds ~ Artist. Entrepreneur. Author. Servant Leader CEO of "The Why Not Win Institute" :These are just a few words that describe Larry D. Thornton, Sr. You could also call him a game changer, teacher and team player.  Even though there are many words to describe Larry's prowess leadership, hearing his life story puts everything in perspective.Growing Up in the Segregated South to go to Game Changer was not without adversity BOTH socially & because of race perceptions, However, his Mom & Many Mentors taught him interpersonal relationship skills that helped him see a bigger picture  on solving obstacles so he & his team could become winners in Business & Life.Thornton's artistry and work ethic got him attention at Coca-Cola, both for the good and the bad. He had to figure out a way to navigate this new world, where higher-ups praised him but co-workers reminded him of his “blackness” by drawing a noose in his workstation.  He persevered by learning to appreciate and embrace diversity, people resources, and conflicting opinions. While his success grew at Coca-Cola, Thornton did the unthinkable: set out to be the first African American to own a McDonald's franchise in Birmingham. This thorny journey was peppered with threats, attempts to thwart his mission and a marriage he could not keep from falling apart. He absorbed the “try, try and try again” motto, and came to see that failure was a prelude to feasting upon the sweet fruit of success. Thornton made up his mind that he would spend each day on a mission to show his unbending gratitude for his life and its benefits by fostering a supreme attitude and maintaining consistency in vision, purpose, and an unwavering commitment to principles. Thornton's journey from Madison Park, Montgomery, has been a long one. “Why Not Win?” reflects on his most useful lessons and the anecdotes associated with them He teaches Success Principles of Leadership at his "The Why Not Win Institute" launched  with Dr. Zillah Fluker in November of 2018 and in the last several years has been delivered at more than 20 colleges, universities & corporations.

From emotional shutdown and avoidance to letting fear quietly run the relationship — this episode breaks down why so many men struggle to lead in love, intimacy, and connection without even realizing it. Instead of blaming your partner, circumstances, or "just not being wired that way," David reveals the deeper truth:

Season 14, Episode 382 reviews chapters 4–7 of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, showing how autosuggestion, specialized knowledge, imagination, and organized planning transform inner belief into consistent sales results. This episode explains practical steps to program confidence, build authority, paint future outcomes for buyers, and design repeatable sales systems that create certainty and close deals more naturally. Today EP 382 PART 2 of our Think and Grow Rich for Sales Series, we will cover: ✔ Chapter 4: Autosuggestion: How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results  Sales Application (Practical Use) Pre-call priming: Speak your outcome out loud before every call (“I bring clarity and certainty to this conversation.”) Language audit: Eliminate soft phrases (“I think,” “hopefully,” “maybe”) from your sales vocabulary. Repetition builds belief: Read your sales goals twice daily as if already achieved. Emotion matters: Read goals with feeling—belief is emotional, not intellectual. Interrupt negative mindsets: Replace “They won't buy” with “I help people make confident decisions.” Consistency over intensity: Daily repetition beats occasional motivation. Key Insight: Belief is built deliberately, not accidentally. ✔ Chapter 5: Specialized Knowledge: From Information to Authority  5 Sales Application Tips Organize your expertise into simple frameworks buyers can easily follow. Know their world better than they do—pain points, language, pressures, timing. Stop overloading: Say less, but say it with authority. Borrow brilliance: Use mentors, subject experts, and masterminds to extend your knowledge. Teach while you sell: Authority grows when you help buyers understand, not when you impress them. Key Insight: You are not selling information. You are selling guidance. ✔ Chapter 6: Imagination: Where Sales Innovation Is Born 7 Sales Application Tips Paint the “after” picture: Describe life, work, or outcomes post-solution. Use sensory language: Help them see, feel, and experience the result. Rehearse success aloud: Walk the buyer through implementation as if it's already happening. Normalize the decision: Familiarity reduces fear and resistance. Tell transformation stories: Stories activate imagination faster than facts. Slow the moment down: Imagination needs space—don't rush the close. Anchor certainty visually: “Imagine six months from now…” becomes a mental commitment. Key Insight: People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. ✔ Chapter 7: Organized Planning: Putting Desire Into Action 6 Sales Application Tips Create a repeatable sales process you trust and follow consistently. Plan the work—then work the plan, even when results lag. Refine the plan, not the goal when setbacks occur. Prepare for objections before they arise—confidence comes from readiness. Track behaviors, not just outcomes (calls, follow-ups, conversations). Use structure to eliminate emotion-based decisions during the sales cycle. Key Insight: A plan creates certainty. Certainty creates momentum. Welcome back to our final series of SEASON 14 of The Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast, where we connect the science-based evidence behind social and emotional learning and emotional intelligence training for improved well-being, achievement, productivity and results—using what I saw as the missing link (since we weren't taught this when we were growing up in school), the application of practical neuroscience. I'm Andrea Samadi, and seven years ago, launched this podcast with a question I had never truly asked myself before: (and that is) If productivity and results matter to us—and they do now more than ever—how exactly are we using our brain to make them happen? Most of us were never taught how to apply neuroscience to improve productivity, results, or well-being. About a decade ago, I became fascinated by the mind-brain-results connection—and how science can be applied to our everyday lives. That's why I've made it my mission to bring you the world's top experts—so together, we can explore the intersection of science and social-emotional learning. We'll break down complex ideas and turn them into practical strategies we can use every day for predictable, science-backed results. Connecting Back to Our 6-Part Think and Grow Rich Series (2022) For today's EP 382, we continue with PART 2 of our Review of Think and Grow Rich for Sales, connecting back to our 6-PART Series from 2022[i]. Back in 2022, we didn't just read Think and Grow Rich—we lived inside it as we launched our year. Over a 6-part series that began the beginning of January 2022, we walked through this book chapter by chapter, not as theory, but as a personal operating system for growth, performance, and results. At the time, the focus of our 6 PART Series was broad. We covered: Personal development Mindset mastery Vision, purpose, and belief We covered the BASICS of this book that my mentor, Bob Proctor studied for his entire lifetime (over 50 years) that can be applied to whatever it is that you want to create with our life. Today, we are going to look at this timeless piece of knowledge, through a new lens. What we're covering today—PART 2 of our Study of Think and Grow Rich for Sales—is not new material. It's the application of this series, towards a specific discipline. You could apply this book to any discipline, but this one, I have wanted to cover for a very long time. How the 6-Part Series Maps DIRECTLY to Sales Mastery Here's the reframe that matters: Every principle we covered in 2022 becomes a sales advantage when applied correctly. Each of the 10 chapters explains how to further improve our inner state, and then we walk through how to make this change occur in our outer world, connecting each principal for the salesperson. And just a reminder that you don't need to be in sales for these principles to work for us. Think and Grow Rich for Sales How Inner Mastery Becomes Sales Results Inspired by Think and Grow Rich Through a modern neuroscience + sales lens   Chapter IV: Autosuggestion The Inner Script Behind Every Sales Call Core Idea: Your subconscious mind is always selling—either for you or against you. Sales Application: Language patterns that leak doubt Why we program confidence before the call Why tone matters more than technique Listener Takeaway: The buyer responds to your energy, not your words. Chapter IV — Autosuggestion How Your Inner Script Becomes Your Outer Results Autosuggestion is the bridge between what you think and what you experience. I first learned this concept while working with Bob Proctor in the seminar industry, and it fundamentally changed the way I understand my own personal results—both in life and in sales. At its core, autosuggestion is about creating order in the mind, (first) so your inner script consistently produces your outer results. The visual model that explains this in one simple view is the stickperson diagram, originally developed by Dr. Thurman Fleet in 1934. You'll see this image in the show notes, labeled A, B, and C. Here is what this diagram means. The Three Parts of the Mind IMAGE IDEA: From Dr. Thurman Fleet 1937 with his idea of Concept Therapy. A — Conscious Mind (Thinking Mind) This is the part of your mind you use when you are actively thinking: reading studying learning solving problems consciously making decisions This is where logic lives. B — Non-Conscious Mind (Emotional Mind) This is the most powerful part of the mind—and the most misunderstood. The non-conscious mind: accepts whatever enters it does not judge truth from falsehood operates primarily through repetition and emotion This is why: who you surround yourself with matters what you listen to matters what you repeatedly tell yourself matters Your non-conscious mind becomes the program that runs your behavior. C — Body The body is the instrument of the mind. Your body inherits what your mind expresses: thoughts affect emotions emotions affect physiology physiology affects behavior and results This is why mindset impacts: health energy confidence performance And why our thoughts, feelings and actions ultimately determine our results. They create our conditions, our circumstances and our environment. Why Autosuggestion Matters (Real Life Example) Because I learned this before I had children, I became extremely intentional about what was playing in the background of our home. News, negativity, and fear-based messaging go straight into the non-conscious mind—especially when the mind is in a submissive state, such as: early childhood (when your mind is wide open) right before sleep also while eating when relaxed or emotionally open This state of mind doesn't just affect children. It affects adults too. What we repeatedly hear becomes how we feel—and eventually how we act. This is why autosuggestion is not wishful thinking. It is mental conditioning. Autosuggestion and Alignment (Praxis) When your thoughts, feelings and emotions are aligned, you enter a state called praxis—the point where belief and behavior match. How do we enter this state? By: writing your goals reading them aloud repeating them twice daily you gradually impress belief onto the non-conscious mind. Over time: belief strengthens faith develops behavior shifts automatically Eventually, you don't have to force confidence. It becomes natural. Beyond the Five Senses: The Higher Faculties Before moving into Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge, it's important to introduce one of the most overlooked ideas Napoleon Hill emphasized: It's the 6 higher faculties of the mind. If you revisit Episode #67[ii], I explain how living only through our five senses can limit results. Our five senses are connected to the conscious mind. But beyond them lie six higher faculties, including: imagination intuition perception will reason memory Hill believed intuition and imagination were so powerful that he devoted entire chapters to them. These faculties allow us to: access deeper insight perceive what others miss gain a competitive advantage Intuition: A Sales Superpower If I had to choose three higher faculties most useful in sales for us to develop, they would be: intuition perception will Let's focus on intuition. Intuition is the mental tool that allows you to feel truth: a gut sense an inner knowing a subtle emotional signal It develops with practice—and trust. Putting Intuition Into Action (Sales) When you're presenting to someone, intuition answers questions like: Are they engaged, but holding a question? Do they need more information—or less? Is it time to continue… or time to ask for the decision? Highly intuitive sales professionals can sense: certainty hesitation trust resistance —even without being in the same room with this person. Sales at Its Highest Level This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” When intuition is developed, you know: when certainty has been transferred when the buyer is ready when the close is natural Eventually, as your higher faculties become conditioned through autosuggestion, you access them automatically—without effort or overthinking. Closing Thought — Chapter IV: Autosuggestion Autosuggestion is not about forcing belief. It's about training alignment. When your thoughts, emotions, and actions match: confidence becomes automatic intuition sharpens results follow naturally Your inner script always becomes your outer results. And that's why autosuggestion is not optional. It's foundational. Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Why Authority Always Outsells Enthusiasm Core Idea: Knowledge only becomes power when it's organized and applied. Sales Application: Moving from “presenter” to trusted expert Leading the conversation instead of reacting Why winging it destroys certainty Listener Takeaway: Mastery creates calm authority. Chapter V — Specialized Knowledge Why Expertise—Not Information—Creates Sales Success To further refine what we want to achieve, Chapter 5 of Think and Grow Rich introduces a critical distinction: not all knowledge is created equally. Napoleon Hill explains that it is specialized knowledge—not general knowledge—that separates you from everyone else and makes you valuable. Knowledge alone, Hill reminds us, is only potential power. “Knowledge (general or specialized) must be organized and intelligently directed, and is only potential power. It becomes power only when, and if, it is organized into definite plans of action and directed to a definite end.” (Chapter V, p. 79, TAGR) In other words: Information does nothing on its own. Application is everything. Why This Matters (Education vs. Application) This becomes clear when we think about formal education. Much of what we learn in school is general knowledge—useful only if we apply it in a specific way. Hill calls this the missing link in education: “The failure of educational institutions is that it fails to teach students HOW TO ORGANIZE AND USE KNOWLEDGE after they acquire it.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) This insight alone explains why so many intelligent people struggle to produce results—especially in sales. They know a lot, but they haven't organized that knowledge into a repeatable system of action. Henry Ford and the Myth of ‘Not Being Educated' Henry Ford is Hill's perfect example. Ford famously said he had a row of buttons on his desk—buttons he could press to access any knowledge he needed. He didn't need to personally possess all information. He needed to know: where to get it who to ask how to apply it Hill wrote: “Any person is educated who knows where to get knowledge when needed, and how to organize that knowledge into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 81, TAGR) Through his Master Mind, Ford had access to all the specialized knowledge required to become one of the wealthiest men in America. This is a critical lesson for sales professionals: You do not need to know everything. You need to know what matters most, and how to apply it. Why Some Ideas Succeed and Others Don't This principle explains why some books—and businesses—succeed at extraordinary levels while others, though insightful, fall short. Take Stephen Covey's The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People. Its impact wasn't just the ideas—it was the framework. Covey gave readers clear steps for how to apply each habit in real life. Contrast that with Eckhart Tolle's The Power of Now. An incredible book, (I love this book- I own it-and it's on my bookshelf). It's rich in insight—but for many readers, it's difficult to apply without additional guidance or structure. The difference is not wisdom. It's organized, specialized knowledge. “Knowledge is not power until it is organized into definite plans of action.” (Chapter V, p. 80, TAGR) What ‘Educated' Really Means Hill reminds us that education does not mean memorization or credentials. The word educate comes from the Latin educo, meaning: to draw out to develop from within An educated person is not someone with the most information—but someone who has developed the faculties of their mind to acquire, apply, and direct knowledge effectively. This is where Specialized Knowledge intersects with: imagination intuition perception will —faculties we explored earlier in the series. Chapter V Specialized Knowledge Applied to Sales In sales, Specialized Knowledge looks like this: Knowing your customer's world, not just your product Understanding patterns in their world that match with yours, not scripts that lack meaning Being able to simplify complexity for the buyer Organizing your knowledge into a repeatable sales process This is what creates authority. When something comes naturally to you—but amazes others—you are operating in specialized knowledge. That's where confidence comes from. That's where trust is built. That's where sales success compounds. How to Use Specialized Knowledge to Reach New Heights (Sales Tips) 1. Identify What You Do Naturally Well Ask yourself: What do people come to me for? What feels obvious to me but confusing to others? That's your starting point for specialization. 2. Organize Your Knowledge into a Framework Turn what you know into: a process a checklist a conversation flow Frameworks build confidence—for you and the buyer where you can point to them clearly where they are in the process, showing them how to move to where they want to go. 3. Learn Continuously—but Selectively Don't collect information. Acquire purposeful knowledge aligned to your goal. Ask: Does this help me serve better? Does this help my buyer decide? 4. Use a Master Mind No top performer succeeds alone. Surround yourself with: mentors peers coaches Borrow knowledge, insight, and certainty with every action that you take. 5. Apply, Review, Refine Specialized knowledge compounds only when used. Apply what you learn. Review results. Refine your approach. This is how expertise is built. Final Insight — Chapter V: Specialized Knowledge Sales success does not come from knowing more. It comes from knowing what matters, organizing it into action, and applying it consistently. When Specialized Knowledge is combined with Imagination, it creates something powerful: A unique and successful business. And this brings us naturally to the next chapters—where imagination, planning, and decision transform knowledge into results. Chapter VI: Imagination Selling the Future Before the Close                  Core Idea: People buy future identity, not features. Sales Application: Painting the “after” state Emotional buy-in before logical justification Don't quit when you are at “3 Feet from Gold” (Chapter 1, TAGR, Page 5). Listener Takeaway People don't buy solutions. They buy who they become after the solution. And it is the salesperson's role to activate the buyer's imagination—to help them see themselves on the other side of the decision. This brings us back to Paul Martinelli's reminder: “Sales at its highest level is the transference of emotion. And the primary emotion is certainty.” Imagination is what creates that certainty. Before a buyer can feel certain, they must first imagine the outcome: life after their problem is solved success after the decision is made themselves operating at a higher level When imagination is engaged, certainty follows. And when certainty is present, the decision becomes natural. Can you see how all of these success principles tie into each other? Like the colors of the rainbow. Chapter VI: Imagination Review of Chapter VI — Our Imagination “Imagination is everything,” according to American author and radio speaker Earl Nightingale, who devoted much of his work to human character development, motivation, and the pursuit of a meaningful life. Every great invention is created in two places: first in the mind of the inventor, and then in the physical world when the idea is brought into form. Our lives reflect how effectively we use our imagination. When we reach a plateau of success, it is not effort alone that takes us to the next level—it is imagination. Imagination allows us to see beyond our current circumstances and envision what is possible next. This is why creating a crystal-clear vision is so important. When we write and read our vision twice a day, we intentionally activate our imagination. Writing and reading that vision in detail stimulates recognition centers in the brain. What may initially feel unrealistic or even like a “pipe dream” begins to feel familiar. Over time, the brain accepts it as something possible—something achievable. Eventually, what once felt distant becomes something you can see yourself doing. And then, one day, what you imagined becomes your reality. When you look at the world through this lens, it's remarkable to consider how much has changed in just the last 50 years—and how quickly that pace is accelerating. These new innovations began in someone's mind first. The most recent leap forward is with artificial intelligence, but it follows the same pattern as every major breakthrough before it. Someone first imagined a world where: Amazon would dominate retail while owning almost no physical stores Uber would transform transportation while owning almost no cars Facebook would scale globally while creating no content Airbnb would become a hospitality giant while owning no real estate Netflix would redefine entertainment without being a TV channel Bitcoin would create value without physical coins Each of these began as an idea before evidence—a vision before execution. The same principle applies to our goals, our careers, and our success. Everything we create begins with imagination. When imagination is paired with belief, intention, and action, it becomes a powerful force that shapes not only individual outcomes, but the direction of the world itself.   Closing Thought — Chapter VI Imagination is not fantasy. It is the starting point of all progress. What you are able to imagine clearly today is what you are capable of creating tomorrow. How to Use Imagination for Sales Success Turning Possibility into Certainty 1. Understand the Role of Imagination in Sales Imagination is not fantasy. In sales, imagination is pre-decision certainty. Before a buyer can decide, they must first: see a different future feel themselves in it believe it is attainable Your job as the salesperson is to guide that mental rehearsal. People don't buy products. They buy the future version of themselves (with the certainty that you paint for them). 2. Imagine the Outcome Before the Buyer Does Top sales professionals do not start with features. They start with vision. Before the call, ask yourself: Who does my buyer become after the purchase? What changes in their day-to-day life? What problem is no longer taking up mental space? How you can support and guide them in this process. If you cannot imagine the outcome clearly, your buyer won't either.

Across dozens of conversations centered on the CISO experience, one reality keeps surfacing: the role no longer exists to protect systems in isolation. It exists to protect the business itself.Today's CISO operates at the intersection of operational risk, executive decision-making, and organizational trust. The responsibility is not just to identify threats, but to help leadership understand which risks matter, when they matter, and why they deserve attention. This shift changes what success looks like. It also changes how pressure is felt.During the early years of this transition, CISOs carry accountability without authority. They are expected to influence outcomes without always having control over budgets, priorities, or timelines. That tension forces a new skill set to the forefront. Technical knowledge is assumed. The differentiator becomes communication, translation, and relationship-building across the business.As organizations mature, the conversation evolves again. Security stops being framed around individual threats and starts being framed as an operational discipline. CISOs focus on prioritization, tradeoffs, and clarity rather than coverage for everything. This requires judgment more than tooling.The role also becomes deeply human. Fear shows up quietly. Fear of pushing too hard. Fear of slowing the business. Fear of being seen as the blocker. CISOs who succeed do not eliminate that fear. They learn how to manage it while building credibility with executive peers.AI enters the picture not as a replacement, but as a force multiplier. Automation supports scale, but judgment remains human. Security programs increasingly deny by default and permit intentionally, which demands a deep understanding of how the business actually works. That understanding cannot be automated.What emerges is a clearer definition of modern security leadership. The CISO is no longer a gatekeeper. This is a risk advisor, a translator, and a strategist who helps the organization focus its limited resources where they matter most.The role has not become easier. It has become more meaningful.Read the full article: TBA________This story represents the results of an interactive collaboration between Human Cognition and Artificial Intelligence.Enjoy, think, share with others, and subscribe to "The Future of Cybersecurity" newsletter on LinkedIn: https://itspm.ag/future-of-cybersecuritySincerely, Sean Martin and TAPE9________Sean Martin is a life-long musician and the host of the Music Evolves Podcast; a career technologist, cybersecurity professional, and host of the Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast; and is also the co-host of the On Location Event Coverage Podcast.

Happy New Year for the Lakers as they start out 2026 with the first of two home matchups against the Memphis Grizzlies. And with the game going back-and-forth leading into the final couple of minutes, it took one of the NBA's best clutch teams to win it as Luka Doncic (34 points), LeBron James (31), and Jake LaRavia (21) provided the "Leadership" necessary to pull out the close victory, 128-121 over Memphis. Tune in as the guys from the LFB share thoughts on the game and what the Western Conference looks like after Friday's action. They have thoughts on Jake's performance and if it's deserving of a starting role in the future, plus which Lakers are not currently getting it done. They also discuss Luka's 20 free throws and whether this is something that can be counted on in a playoff run.

In 1971, a red-headed, tree-loving astronaut named Stu ‘Smokey' Roosa was asked to take something to the moon with him. Of all things, he chose to take a canister of 500 tree seeds. After orbiting the moon 34 times, the seeds made it back to Earth. NASA decided to plant the seeds all across the country and then… everyone forgot about them. Until one day, a third grader from Indiana stumbled on a tree with a strange plaque: "Moon Tree." This discovery set off a cascading search for all the trees that visited the moon across the United States.

High performance leadership often creates decision fatigue and burnout in real time. In this episode, Julie Holly explores why leadership must change in the body before it changes in behavior — and how presence restores authority without urgency.For high-capacity humans, leadership rarely fails because of a lack of insight.It falters in the moment.You understand burnout recovery.You recognize over-functioning.You know something about identity misalignment and decision fatigue.And yet — in the meeting, the silence, the moment all eyes turn toward you — your body steps in before your values do.This episode names what's been missing from most leadership conversations: leadership changes in the nervous system before it changes in behavior.If your body doesn't feel safe letting go, you will keep carrying responsibility internally — even when you're supported, capable, and exhausted by the cost.Julie explores why this tension is especially present for leaders in career or life transition, where the old pressure-driven identity no longer fits, but the nervous system hasn't yet learned how to trust a new way of leading.You'll hear how over-functioning is not a character flaw or discipline issue — but a learned survival response tied to belonging, safety, and identity drift.This episode also highlights a powerful cultural mirror in Keanu Reeves, whose authority is marked not by urgency or dominance, but by steadiness, restraint, and identity integrity. His presence offers living proof that respect does not require intensity — it requires alignment.This is not about doing less.It's about leading from presence — in real time.Because nothing meaningful is lost when you stop carrying leadership in your nervous system — except what was never meant to be there.Today's Micro RecalibrationWhen guilt or urgency arises, pause and ask:What does my body believe will happen if I don't step in right now?What is actually true in this moment?Then offer your nervous system proof of safety:Drop your shoulders.Lengthen your exhale.Feel your feet.Leadership begins to change the moment your body trusts it can.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Most people approach fitness goals the same way they approach a New Year's resolution—focused on outcomes, timelines, and motivation. And most people abandon them just as quickly.In this episode, we take a different approach.Drawing from years of coaching experience with executives and high-performing professionals, this conversation reframes how to think about fitness, health, and long-term performance. Instead of asking what you want to achieve, we explore the more important question: what can you realistically sustain when life gets busy, stressful, and unpredictable?You'll learn why outcome-based goals often fail, how shifting your focus to process creates consistency, and how to design a fitness plan that actually fits into real life—not ideal conditions. Whether you're setting goals for the year ahead or rethinking an approach that hasn't worked in the past, this episode offers a practical, evidence-based framework for building momentum that lasts.This is a conversation about sustainability, discipline, and playing the long game with your health—without gimmicks, shortcuts, or burnout.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

Leadership isn't clean. It isn't safe. And it definitely isn't about trying to look good. Dan Tocchini breaks that illusion wide open. He's spent decades inside organizations, building leaders, shaping culture, and—most importantly—owning where he got it wrong. One of the most powerful truths he brings to the table is this: if you're not willing to put something at stake, you're not actually leading. You're managing your image.Dan shares the hard-earned lessons from running a company for over 20 years and realizing that avoiding tough conversations wasn't compassion—it was self-protection. Performance issues don't disappear because you soften your language or dance around the truth. They compound. And when leaders avoid conflict, what they're really avoiding is accountability. Dan calls that out for what it is, and he doesn't sugarcoat it.This conversation cuts straight into emotional maturity, conflict, and what Dan calls “paradoxical leadership”—the tension between empathy and enforcement. Caring deeply about people while still holding the line. Being willing to argue well, not to win, but to sharpen thinking and make better decisions. Dan reframes conflict as a resource, not a threat, and explains why leaders who can't engage it responsibly end up creating far bigger problems down the road.With nearly five decades of marriage, decades of leadership work, and a lifetime of experience, Dan brings wisdom you can't fake and perspective you can't shortcut. This is about leadership with skin in the game—where authenticity, consequences, and respect all matter. If you want to lead people, teams, or a company without losing yourself—or them—this conversation matters.We Meet: Dan Tocchini III, Connect:Connect with Rick: https://linktr.ee/mrrickjordanConnect with Dan: https://takenewground.com/Subscribe & Review to ALL IN with Rick Jordan on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/RickJordanALLIN

Welcome to episode 312 of Grow Your Law Firm, hosted by Ken Hardison. On today's episode, Ken sits down with Eric Sanchez, Managing Partner of Maestro Strategic Partners and former CEO of one of North Carolina's largest PI firms. With a background that bridges law and technology, including designing legal software that led to nearly 30 patents, Eric helps firms rethink efficiency, culture, and innovation in a rapidly changing AI landscape. Together, they dig into how law firms can move beyond "playing with AI" and start using it strategically through smarter workflows, better leadership, and thoughtful change management. What you'll learn about in this episode: 1. Where to Start with AI in Your Law Firm  - Why "we bought an AI tool" is not a strategy  - How to do a simple pain point analysis to identify high-impact starting points 2. Turning Workflows into Leverage, Not Chaos  - How to look at tasks like mail routing, claims opening, and intake through an AI lens  - The difference between full automation and AI "enhancement" that makes good staff great 3. Understanding Agentic AI  - What AI agents are, in plain English, and how they differ from simple bots  - Examples of agents monitoring data, summarizing information, and handling multi-step tasks 4. Choosing the Right Tools for Your Firm  - Why copying another firm's AI stack can backfire if your workflows and culture are different  - The importance of closed vs. open AI systems and when specialized legal AI makes sense 5. Leadership, Culture, and Change in an AI-Driven Firm - How to involve frontline staff, get buy-in, and reduce fear around technology - Why "invested leadership" will matter even more as your team shrinks but each person's value grows Resources:  Website: mstratpartners.com LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/ericjsanchez Facebook: facebook.com/maestrostrategic Book: amazon.com/Invested-Leadership-Empower-Your-Heart/dp/1544547218 Additional Resources:    https://www.pilmma.org/the-mastermind-effect https://www.pilmma.org/resources https://www.pilmma.org/mastermind https://calendly.com/jenna-pilmma/strategy-session-with-pilmma AI for PI Expo:   www.pilmma.org/ai-for-pi-expo

“Send Coach John a message”I found something I wanted to share and it comes from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) and it's something that adds to my strength and optimism here in the new year.  “Remaining positive doesn't mean you have to be happy all the time.  It means that even on tough days, you hold onto the belief that better days are on the horizon.” This is something that has been a part of my mindset for a long time. However, I needed reminding of this fact as there are plenty of times I forget the second part as I wallow away in dealing with negativity at times. It helps remind me that I am the one that has a major say in creating better days in my life!! Again, with all the “noise” going on around all of us - this helps to add to my strength of realizing that I'm more in control of my life than the “noise makers” think they are.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this powerful conversation, Kelly sits down with leadership teacher and author John Wang, author of Big Asian Energy, to unpack why so many successful leaders feel exhausted, disconnected, and stuck despite "doing everything right." John shares his deeply personal journey from achievement-driven success to near-collapse, and the inner leadership shift that changed how he builds businesses, leads people, and teaches others to do the same. This episode is for CEOs, founders, and business owners who know they've outgrown an old identity but feel uncertain about what's next. Together, Kelly and John explore how authentic leadership, embodied presence, and aligned decision-making are becoming the defining advantages for leaders in 2026 and beyond. TIMESTAMPS: 02:11 – 04:45 What Big Asian Energy is really about (and why this message actually applies to EVERY leader) 04:46 – 07:30 Achievement culture, "shoulds," and the hidden cost of self-abandonment 07:31 – 10:05 The moment everything broke: burnout, internal bleeding, and the body's warning signs 10:06 – 12:40 The real cause of burnout 12:41 – 14:55 Comparison, people-pleasing, and the "Frankenstein identity" many leaders build 14:56 – 17:10 The turning point: discovering purpose and leading from a single guiding word 17:11 – 19:30 Why leadership doesn't have to look loud, aggressive, or performative 19:31 – 21:35 The seven self-sabotage patterns leaders don't realize they're operating from 21:36 – 23:40 "There are no business relationships. Only relationships" (and why this matters) 23:41 – 25:20 Sitting in the puddle: how presence builds trust faster than problem-solving 25:21 – 27:10 How embodied leadership creates calmer teams, stronger cultures, and better results RESOURCES:  Get the Book Big Asian Energy: The UnapolageticGuide for Breaking Barriers to Leadership and Success by John Wang: https://a.co/d/fMNpdPE  Connect with John Wang on Instagram: @johnwangofficial Website: https://bigasianenergy.com Follow Kelly on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellyroachofficial/  Follow Kelly on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/kelly.roach.520/  Connect on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kellyroachint/

He carries those hard-earned lessons beyond the cockpit and into boardrooms, equipping leaders and teams to build trust, accountability, and peak performance when it matters most. Today, Jason shares how trust is built under pressure, why leadership is revealed in moments of uncertainty, and what it truly means to "make the dash count." He opens up about growing up in chaos, learning the power of environment and influence early in life, and how high-risk combat missions shaped his belief that you don't rise to the occasion… you fall to the level of your training. My friends, if you're craving clarity in your leadership, confidence in your decisions, or stronger relationships at work and at home, this conversation is for you. You'll leave with a renewed understanding of how trust is earned, practical ways to show up with intention, and a powerful reminder that your presence matters more than you think.

High performance leadership often leads to burnout, decision fatigue, and role confusion. In this episode, Julie Holly reveals how leaders can hold authority without self-abandonment by leading from identity integrity instead of pressure.High-capacity leaders rarely struggle because they don't care enough — they struggle because they care too deeply, and they've been carrying leadership in their nervous system.In this episode of The Recalibration, Julie Holly explores why leadership so often feels like a trade-off between authority and inner peace — and why that trade-off is unnecessary.If you've experienced leadership burnout, decision fatigue, role confusion, or the quiet fear that slowing down might cost you respect, this conversation names what's really happening beneath the surface. The exhaustion many leaders feel isn't a motivation problem or a boundary failure — it's an identity integrity issue.Julie introduces the concept of identity integrity: the internal boundary that allows leaders to stay deeply invested without being internally consumed. When responsibility lives inside identity, leadership becomes heavy. When responsibility lives inside role, it can be carried — and set down.This episode gently dismantles three common leadership myths:That boundaries equal withdrawalThat presence means passivityThat strong leadership requires self-erasureInstead, listeners are invited into a more grounded way of leading — one where authority is steady, calm, and trustworthy, and where nothing meaningful is lost when leadership stops living in the nervous system.This is not mindset work or performance optimization. It's Identity-Level Recalibration (ILR) — the root-level realignment that makes every other tool effective again. When identity leads before action, decisions simplify, boundaries feel clean, and leadership becomes something you inhabit rather than survive.Whether you're navigating burnout recovery, spiritual exhaustion, success without fulfillment, or an identity drift brought on by years of responsibility, this episode offers language, relief, and a clear path forward.Today's Micro RecalibrationPause and ask:Where have I been equating authority with over-carrying? Then gently ask:What would leadership look like if I stayed rooted while remaining responsible?Notice what shifts in your body as you reflect.Explore Identity-Level Recalibration→ Join the next Friday Recalibration Live experience → Take your listening deeper!

Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or like everyone needs you all the time? You're not actually stuck, you just need a way out. Alan Briggs shares 4 practical pathways to break free and lead with clarity in 2026. Happy New Year—and welcome to Episode 500! When we started this podcast, it was just a wild idea. 500 episodes later, we're more convinced than ever: leadership doesn't have to cost you everything. You can lead well and live well. To kick off 2026, Alan tackles something most leaders are feeling but few are naming: leadership claustrophobia—that squeezed, stuck sensation where everyone needs you all the time and there's no way out. Here's the truth: You feel stuck. But you're not actually stuck. Alan walks through the four feelings that keep leaders trapped—overwhelmed, myopic, exhausted, and behind—and gives you a clear, practical pathway out of each one. This isn't theory. It's the same framework Alan uses with the leaders he coaches every day. If you're heading into 2026 saying "everyone needs me all the time," this episode is your reset. What You'll Learn The 4 Leadership Traps + Their Pathways Out: → Overwhelmed? You're lacking creativity. The pathway out is space—build gaps into your calendar so your brain can think again. → Myopic (stuck in the weeds)? You're lacking perspective. The pathway out is vantage—schedule a Think Day and lift above your leadership. → Exhausted? You're lacking freshness. The pathway out is recovery—Sabbath and vacation aren't luxuries, they're necessities. → Behind? You're lacking urgency. The pathway out is constraints—small deadlines create the momentum big goals never will. Key Takeaways "You feel stuck, but you are not actually stuck. You have options. You can change things." The shift from victim to designer: stop reacting and start creating pathways out. When clarity goes up, overwhelm goes down. Think Days: a quarterly rhythm to get above your leadership and solve the big problems you keep kicking down the road. Sabbath and vacation are always important, never urgent—you won't feel like you need them until you should have had them three months ago. Constraints create urgency. Without deadlines, we procrastinate. Without sub-goals, we drift.

Imposter Syndrome in Leadership: Why Even Experienced Leaders Struggle Imposter syndrome in leadership doesn't disappear with experience. It often shows up when the pressure is highest. Even the most capable leaders can find themselves questioning their confidence under stress. Self-doubt doesn't mean you're incapable. It means you're human—and often, that you're growing. In this episode, Blake sits down with Jenn Donahue, retired U.S. Navy Captain, keynote speaker, and author, to unpack why experienced leaders feel imposter syndrome and how leaders overcome imposter syndrome under pressure. From life-or-death decisions in Afghanistan to navigating misogyny in male-dominated environments, Jenn shares grounded, real-world insight on leading with clarity, confidence, and alignment.

Hey Sis! If leadership feels heavy right now, I want you to know something first—you're not failing, and you're not alone. There are seasons when the weight of responsibility, decision-making, time pressure, and expectations begin to cloud our clarity. You're still called. You still care. But somewhere along the way, the joy and confidence you once had feels harder to access. In this episode, we're having an honest, heart-to-heart conversation about what to do when leadership feels overwhelming and how to return to clarity in God's plan—without striving, hustling, or trying to prove yourself. This isn't about pushing harder. It's about pausing long enough to realign with biblical truth, reconnect with God's priorities, and lead with intentionality again. In this episode, we talk about: Why leadership can feel heavy even when you're walking in your calling How lack of clarity impacts your confidence, time management, and influence The subtle signs you're leading from pressure instead of purpose How to quiet the noise and refocus on God's plan for your life and leadership What it looks like to lead like Jesus—grounded, present, and intentional If you've been asking yourself: Why does leadership feel so hard right now? Am I still on the right path? How do I regain clarity and confidence without burning out? Sis, this episode is for you. You were never meant to carry leadership alone. You were called to lead with clarity, peace, and confident Christian influence—rooted in God's truth, not the world's expectations. ✨ Your Next Step If this episode resonates and you're craving deeper clarity, confidence, and intentional growth, I would love to walk alongside you.

2025 didn't just challenge the automotive industry.It exposed it.Tariffs that shifted overnight. Another chip crisis. A sudden rethink on EVs. Then Ford dropped the bomb: nearly $20 billion in charges as it pivoted away from EVs, stranding capital across the supply chain. And on top of it all, AI is moving faster than most leaders can keep up with.In this solo episode, Jan Griffiths presses pause on the noise and calls it what it really was: feedback.Not chaos.A signal.2025 showed us exactly where legacy leadership breaks under pressure. Command-and-control slowed decision-making. Rigid processes collapsed under uncertainty. And waiting for perfect data became a competitive disadvantage.As we step into 2026, Jan lays out what leadership must become if this industry wants to survive, not just react. She challenges leaders to stop pretending they have all the answers and start learning out loud. To trade certainty for curiosity. Ego for humility. Silos for systems thinking.AI is not the threat. Speed is the reality. And culture is still the differentiator.This episode is a direct, honest conversation with leaders who feel the weight of what's coming and know the old playbook won't get them there. Jan breaks down the five leadership categories that will define success in 2026 and beyond, and why standing still is no longer an option.If 2025 cracked the foundation, 2026 is the year leaders decide whether to rebuild or repeat the same mistakes.This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Themes DiscussedWhy 2025 wasn't chaos, but critical feedback for automotive leadersThe leadership behaviors that failed under pressureLearning out loud instead of waiting for perfect answersIntellectual humility as a competitive advantageWhy speed now matters more than certaintyHow AI is forcing a shift away from rigid org chartsThe leadership mindset required to win in 2026About Your Host – Jan GriffithsJan Griffiths is the Champion for Culture Change in the automotive industry.

Send us a textIn this quick tip episode of The Private Practice Survival Guide, Brandon breaks down the real reason most private practices fail a HIPAA compliance audit: they don't realize how easily PHI can be exposed—often in ways that can be interpreted as gross negligence. From front-desk conversations and sign-in sheets to visible computer screens, unsecured paper charts, and unencrypted communication, Brandon explains how common “everyday” workflows create preventable compliance risk.You'll learn the most frequent audit failures: missing Business Associate Agreements (BAAs) (including the often-missed process for tools like Google Workspace), inadequate staff training, weak access controls, lack of annual security risk assessments, outdated policies, poor physical safeguards, improper disposal practices, and delayed breach identification. Brandon also outlines practical fixes: annual HIPAA training with documentation, role-based access, MFA, encryption standards for PHI at rest and in transit, vendor BAA tracking, secure texting/communication evaluation, and stronger physical privacy measures.If you run or operate a private practice, this episode is a direct checklist for reducing audit exposure, protecting patient trust, and building compliance into daily operations—so your practice can thrive, not just survive.Welcome to Private Practice Survival Guide Podcast hosted by Brandon Seigel!
