Podcasts about Leadership

Leadership isn't about position, title, or authority—it's about who you are on the inside and how you show up every day for the people who depend on you. In this episode, I sit down with Brent Pohlman, bestselling author of Leaders Look Within and the upcoming book Leading with Zest, for a powerful conversation about values-based leadership, faith, health, and having the courage to lead from the heart.   Brent shares lessons from 31 years of marriage, raising a faith-centered family, and building a thriving workplace culture rooted in people-first leadership. We dive into why leaders must define a strong "why," how physical health fuels emotional and relational leadership, and how to have hard, triggering conversations without destroying morale—at work or at home. If you're a husband, father, or man who wants to lead with clarity, conviction, and integrity, this episode will challenge you in the best way.     Timeline Summary [0:00] Why leadership applies to every man—especially husbands and fathers.

You must know your values, faith, and motivations before you can lead others well. A strong "why" stabilizes leadership. Without it, leaders become reactive and inconsistent. Physical health fuels leadership presence. Energy, discipline, and consistency matter in how you show up. Coaching builds leaders; training builds skills. Growth happens through direct, caring conversations. People-first leadership creates thriving cultures—at work, at home, and in communities.     Links & Resources MicroFactor (1st Phorm): https://1stphorm.com/products/micro-factor/?a_aid=dadedge Level-1 Protein (1st Phorm): https://1stphorm.com/products/level-1/?a_aid=dadedge Brent Pohlman — Leaders Look Within: https://a.co/d/aIPZqXo Brent Pohlman — Leading with Zest: https://a.co/d/78BUngL Brent Pohlman Website: https://ceoofyourheart.com Episode Show Notes & Resources: https://thedadedge.com/1424   Closing Remark If this episode challenged you to lead with more intention, health, and heart, please rate, review, follow, and share the podcast.

Second half of the kickoff 2026 double header!!!!  Joined on this episode by the one and only James Nisbet, and it promises to be a doozy! We plan to discuss getting beyond the pre-connect. The purpose of the first line. Supporting search as the engine. The purpose of system based actions as the engine company (don't know what this means but it's provocative) Of course all of our plans as is always the case, will be derailed by the wonderful questions from the audience as we dive down rabbit trails and chase squirrels!  

What To Do With a Frustrating Employee In Your Clinic In this episode, Doc Danny breaks down one of the hardest parts of owning a clinic: dealing with a talented but frustrating employee. You know the type. Great with patients, solid outcomes, but sloppy with systems, notes, and follow through. Danny walks through the three real options you have, why "letting it slide" destroys culture, and how to use a performance improvement plan to either turn things around or coach someone out. In This Episode, You'll Learn: The classic pattern of the friendly, high-output clinician who struggles with systems Why tolerating mediocrity from one person lowers the standard for your entire team The three options you have with a frustrating employee (and the one most owners avoid) How to build and run a simple, effective performance improvement plan (PIP) Why leadership and standards matter more than any one hire How "coaching people out" protects your culture and your A-players Questions to ask yourself about your onboarding, training, and systems Claire: Get Your Attention Back on Patients Danny opens with a reminder of how fast documentation can pull your attention away from patients. As PTs, we pride ourselves on building rapport and relationships, but it is hard to do that when you spend half the session staring at a laptop. Claire, the AI scribe built specifically for physical therapists, lets you give patients 100% of your attention while it writes your notes for you. No more "split attention" between EMR and patient Better engagement and outcomes because you are actually present Notes drafted for you based on the session so you can review and finalize Try Claire free for 7 days: https://meetclaire.ai The Talented but Frustrating Employee Danny describes a very familiar pattern in service businesses. You hire someone you like. They are a good culture fit. Patients love them. Outcomes are strong. But behind the scenes, they: Drag their feet on notes and documentation Ignore or half-follow systems and processes Show up a little late, miss small details, or respond slowly to emails and Slack They are not a disaster. They are not a clear liability. But they are not meeting the standard either. That gray area is exactly where most owners get stuck. First, Own Your Part as the Owner Before you blame the employee, Danny challenges you to look in the mirror. Have you: Actually trained them on your EMR, project management tools, and communication systems? Explained why those systems matter (data, tracking, meetings, outcomes, marketing)? Given them clear expectations, examples of "done right," and time to practice? Most owners are busy and rush onboarding. They throw people into the deep end with a few screen-share videos and hope they figure it out. Then they get mad when the systems are not followed. Your Three Options With a Frustrating Employee Once you are honest about your own role, you really have three options: Let it go. Accept that this person is just this way. They are good with patients, weak with systems, and you live with it. Let them go. Fire them for not following processes and creating extra work for others. Create a performance improvement plan. Sit down, define what needs to change, and track progress over a set period. Danny explains why the first option is the most dangerous. When you tolerate one person ignoring standards, everyone else sees it. Your A-players start to wonder why they are working so hard. Support staff quietly resent the extra work. The real standard becomes "we say we care about systems, but we do not enforce them." How to Build a Performance Improvement Plan The go-to approach in Danny's companies is a structured performance improvement plan (PIP). It usually looks like this: Define the specific problems (late notes, missing CRM updates, slow responses, etc.). Clarify why each behavior matters to the business and the team. Decide what is truly necessary for the role and remove anything redundant. Set clear, measurable expectations for the next 4–6 weeks. Meet weekly to review progress, answer questions, and coach them on better workflows. Make it clear this is a non-negotiable standard if they want to keep the role. This is not about punishment. It is about support, clarity, and accountability. The PIP gives the employee a real chance to succeed with your help. What Usually Happens Next Once you run a real PIP, you tend to see one of two outcomes: They turn the corner. With training and clear expectations, they improve their systems work, become more efficient, and turn into a strong long-term hire. They opt out. They resist change, make excuses, and realize this is not a place where they can do whatever they want. They often resign on their own. Either way, you win. You either save a good clinician by giving them structure or you protect your culture by making it clear that standards are real. Leadership, Standards, and A-Players Danny points out that your best people are always watching how you handle situations like this. A-players want: Clear standards and consistency Leaders who follow through, not just talk about culture Teammates who pull their own weight When you avoid hard conversations and let someone slide, your A-players lose respect and start looking elsewhere. When you hold the line, they respect you more and see your clinic as a place worth investing their energy. The Hard Work of Real Leadership Leading people is often the limiting factor in whether a clinic ever scales. It is not manual skills. It is not marketing hacks. It is your willingness to: Have tough, honest conversations Take responsibility for training and support Set standards and enforce them consistently Spend time coaching people, even when you feel "time poor" That work is uncomfortable, but it is the difference between a team that drifts into mediocrity and one that grows with you for years. Want Help Navigating This as a Clinic Owner?

What does it actually take to move beyond AI pilots and turn enterprise ambition into real productivity gains? That question sat at the center of my conversation with Olivia Nottebohm, Chief Operating Officer at Box, and it is one that every boardroom seems to be wrestling with right now. AI conversations have matured quickly. The early excitement has given way to harder questions about return, trust, and what changes when software stops assisting work and starts acting inside it. Olivia brings a rare vantage point to that discussion, shaped by leadership roles at Google, Dropbox, Notion, and now Box, where she oversees global go to market, customer success, and partnerships at a time when AI is becoming embedded in everyday operations. We talked about why early adopters are already seeing productivity lifts of around thirty seven percent, while others remain stuck in experimentation. The difference, as Olivia explains, is rarely the model itself. Strategy matters more. Teams that treat AI as a chance to rethink how work flows through the organization are pulling away from those that simply layer automation on top of broken processes. This is where unstructured content, often described as dark data, becomes a competitive asset rather than a liability. When that information is curated, permissioned, and ready for agents to use, entire workflows start to look very different. A large part of our discussion focused on AI agents and why 2026 is shaping up to be the year they move from novelty to necessity. Agents are already joining the workforce, taking on tasks that used to require multiple handoffs between teams. That shift brings speed and autonomy, but it also raises new questions about trust.  Olivia shared why governance has become one of the biggest blind spots in enterprise AI, especially when agents act independently or interact across platforms. Her perspective was clear. Without strong security, permissioning, and oversight, the risks grow faster than the rewards. We also explored why companies using a mix of models and agents tend to see stronger returns, and how Box approaches this with a neutral, customer choice driven philosophy while maintaining consistent governance. From the five stages of enterprise AI maturity to the idea of a future agent manager role, this conversation offers a grounded look at what AI at scale actually demands from leadership, culture, and operating models. So as investment accelerates and AI becomes part of the fabric of work, the real question is this. Are organizations ready to redesign how they operate around agents, data, and trust, or will they keep experimenting while others pull ahead, and what do you think separates the two?

January is loud. Everywhere you look, leaders are being told to set bigger goals, move faster, and start strong. But what if the reason you feel stuck, unclear, or overwhelmed right now isn't a motivation problem or a discipline problem? What if it's a season problem? In this New Year–focused episode, Alan Briggs helps leaders slow down just enough to ask a better question before setting goals for 2026: What season of leadership am I actually in right now? Because when goals don't match seasons, leaders burn out, teams get frustrated, and momentum stalls. This conversation reframes New Year goal-setting through the lens of leadership awareness, helping you name where you've been, where you are, and what kinds of actions actually make sense in this season of life and leadership. And stay to the end — Jonathan tees up a brand new series launching next week: The Five Spheres of an H2 Leader, designed to help you lead with both health and high impact in 2026. In this episode, you'll learn: Why January goal-setting often creates pressure instead of clarity How to identify the season of leadership you're currently in Why the question “What time is it for you?” matters more than resolutions How leadership seasons show up across work, family, health, and relationships Why ignoring seasons is one of the fastest paths to burnout How to pair the right actions with the season you're actually living in Reflection Questions (for early January clarity) Don't rush these. These questions are meant to ground your New Year, not hype it. What season of leadership are you coming out of? When did (or will) that season end? What season are you in right now — or clearly heading into? What should you say yes to in this season? What should you say no to in this season? What feels uncertain, scary, or disorienting about this transition? These are powerful to work through alone — and even more powerful with a spouse, trusted friend, or leadership team. What's Coming Next Next week, we launch a new series walking through The Five Spheres of an H2 Leader — how to identify them, strengthen them, and lead in a way that's both sustainable and impactful. If you're starting this year wanting clarity instead of chaos, you're in the right place.

 In today's episode of Next Level University, hosts Kevin Palmieri and Alan Lazaros examine how leaders and high performers decide what they are willing to see and what they prefer to avoid. Filtering reality can feel like focus or protection, but over time, it influences judgment, confidence, and the quality of decisions being made. Grounded in real client conversations, business experience, and thousands of long-form discussions, this episode explores how people handle uncomfortable information under pressure. The emphasis is not on mindset slogans or motivation, but on awareness, discipline, and long-term consistency. Listen carefully. Then ask yourself whether clarity is driving your choices, or whether comfort is quietly doing the work for you.Learn more about:Your first 30-minute “Business Breakthrough Session” call with Alan is FREE.

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    I'm thrilled to welcome Patrick Ledin, PhD, bestselling author and renowned leadership expert at Franklin Covey's Leadership and Culture Practice. He's teamed up with the amazing and legendary author, James Patterson, for their bold new book, Disrupt Everything—and Win, which we dive into in this show.    THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone feeling overwhelmed by constant change. If you're a leader, manager, or professional navigating disruption (from technology shifts to career uncertainty), this conversation will help you rethink what disruption actually means and how to work with it rather than fight it.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…disruption isn't just something that happens to us — it's something we can choose how to respond to. Drawing on years of research and hundreds of interviews, Patrick explains why winning in disruption isn't about chasing constant change or having all the answers. It's about clarity, purpose, and knowing when to lean into change and when to intentionally choose stability.   KEY TAKEAWAYS: Disruption doesn't always mean blowing things up, sometimes saying no to change is the most disruptive move you can make The difference between micro disruptions and major life-altering ones and why both can shape your path. How reframing fear around technology and AI can turn uncertainty into opportunity rather than threat.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…Patrick's reminder that leaders don't have to carry disruption alone. You don't need every skill, every answer, or every instinct perfectly calibrated. You just need the self-awareness to know what you bring to the table and the confidence to invite others in.    Running Time: 28:27   Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find Patrick Online: LinkedIn   Patrick's Book: Disrupt Everything—and Win

Dr. Paul Arciero kicks off the new year with a practical conversation on why our bodies crave a reset after “holiday overload”—the perfect storm of stress, sleep loss, travel, skipped workouts, and all the sugary, salty, processed extras. Dr. Paul explains why metabolism is often the first domino to fall, how sleep and eating patterns impact metabolic flexibility, and why getting back to a consistent daily rhythm (sleep, nutrition, work, and movement) helps you recalibrate your body's natural “chronobiology.” You'll also hear research-backed tips for timing exercise based on your goals—fat loss, muscle building, or stress relief—and how smart protein timing can support recovery and results.

It’s Time to Redefine Success for You and Your People In the high-stakes game of business, we are often obsessed with the scoreboard—profit margins, market share, and rankings. But the greatest mentor of all time, Coach John Wooden, taught us that true success isn't merely about winning; it is about the peace of mind attained only through self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to do the best of which you are capable. Too many leaders today are burning out chasing the “win” while losing the heart of their team. It is time to redefine what it means to lead. This week on A New Direction, I am sitting down with the man recognized as “America's Breakthrough Coach,” Brian Biro. We are discussing his book, Beyond Success, and the profound lessons he learned directly from his mentor, John Wooden. Brian doesn’t just theorize about culture; he shows you how to build it. We are going to explore how to apply Wooden's timeless principles to the modern workplace, shifting your team from a group of employees to a collective of high-performers who genuinely care about the mission and each other. This conversation is vital for every leader, entrepreneur, and coach who wants to build a legacy that lasts. We will dive into how to foster a spirit of “industriousness and enthusiasm” in your organization and how to break through the fear that stifles innovation. Brian is going to share the secrets of how to lead with love and discipline simultaneously, creating an environment where success is the natural by-product of character. This is about taking your business from transactional to transformational. This is your opportunity to learn the blueprint for greatness from a man who learned from the master himself.

Brian Biro‘s book, “Beyond Success: – The 15 Secrets to Effective Leadership and Life Based on Legendary Coach John Wooden’s Pyramid of Success” is a timeless and outstanding read!  The stories and practical applications are just as relevant today as they were when John Wooden coached his last year in the mid-seventies. In today’s world we are so focused on the results we are employing strategies at the sacrifice of human fundamentals that either burn our people out or burn us out.  Let’s be honest all business is about people. Not just the people we sell to, but the people who do the selling, who handle the paperwork, who mop the floor.  All of business is people, and if we are not handling our people well.  We have already lost. The fact is all success is going to start with the number one person we need to develop first. And that is us.  Sadly, in today’s world we are so concerned with our reputation and what other’s think we are less focused on developing our character.  But it is from our character that will drive our enthusiasm, beliefs, and vision.  Without fully developed character or vision is nothing more than words on the wall.  Empty and meaningless. Beyond Success is truly a refreshing read, that gets grounded into the basics of who we are, getting the most out of the people around us, and building the right blocks so that what naturally flows is competitive greatness.

Guest: Alan Tonelson. China's leadership is likely stunned by setbacks with allies in Venezuela and Iran. While Chinarelies on coal, the loss of cheap oil imports will squeeze its industry.

Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

    This episode celebrates the 125th anniversary of the U.S. Army Nurse Corps by profiling four newly commissioned officers completing their Basic Officer Leader Course (BOLC). The conversation highlights the diverse backgrounds and motivations of these future leaders, ranging from a former Master Sergeant with 22 years of enlisted service to first-generation college graduates and officers. By sharing their personal journeys, the guests illustrate the profound commitment required to balance the dual roles of a soldier and a healthcare professional.    The officers discuss the core values that define their service, emphasizing respect, compassion, and the need to maintain professional balance. They detail the rigorous training and mindset shift required to move from bedside nursing to military leadership, where readiness and adaptability are paramount. The interviews reveal that the Army Nurse Corps provides unique opportunities far beyond traditional civilian nursing, including roles in command, specialty practice, and global broadening assignments.     A central theme throughout the episode is the "limitless" nature of a career in military medicine. Whether transitioning from a combat medic background or starting fresh through ROTC scholarships, these officers are driven by a desire to impact the lives of service members and their families worldwide. Their stories serve as an inspiring testament to the enduring legacy of the Nurse Corps and its critical role in medical readiness.    The final takeaway is one of optimism and professional pride. As these officers prepare for their first duty stations, they demonstrate a readiness to face the challenges of military medicine with enthusiasm and dedication. This episode provides a comprehensive look at the professional development, personal sacrifice, and high-level leadership that characterize the next generation of "WarDocs" in the Army Nurse Corps.   Chapters (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps (01:34-04:30) From Master Sergeant to Nurse Practitioner- CPT Michael Morris (04:41-07:05) The Importance of Balance in Military Nursing- 2LT Julian Tagupa (07:09-09:43) First-Generation Success and Limitless Opportunities- 2LT Dana Williams (09:48-12:53) Leadership, Adaptability, and Readiness- 2LT Audrey Holder   Chapter Summaries (00:00-01:34) Celebrating 125 Years of the Army Nurse Corps: This introductory segment honors the historic 125th anniversary of the Corps and introduces the podcast's mission to spotlight future leaders. Host Jeff Clark sets the stage for interviews with officers currently completing their Basic Officer Leader Course. (01:34-04:30) From Master Sergeant to Nurse Practitioner: Captain Michael Morris shares his 22-year journey from a combat medic to an officer and Family Nurse Practitioner. He discusses the transition from high-level enlisted leadership back to direct patient care and the core values of service and compassion that drive his new role. (04:41-07:05) The Importance of Balance in Military Nursing: Second Lieutenant Julian Tagupa describes his transition from the National Guard to active duty and the passion for one-on-one patient influence. He emphasizes the critical need for balance between being an Army officer, a professional nurse, and maintaining a personal life. (07:09-09:43) First-Generation Success and Limitless Opportunities: Second Lieutenant Dana Williams highlights her path as a first-generation college graduate who found her calling in the Army Nurse Corps through ROTC. She discusses the limitless career paths available in the military, including the potential for high-level command and the foundational value of respect. (09:48-12:53) Leadership, Adaptability, and Readiness: Second Lieutenant Audrey Holder shares her motivation as a compassionate leader and the benefits of the ROTC nursing scholarship. She explains how the Army Nurse Corps requires a high degree of adaptability and readiness, preparing officers to lead healthcare teams and deploy at a moment's notice. Take Home Messages The Dual Identity of the Soldier-Nurse: Serving in the Army Nurse Corps requires mastering a unique dual identity where one must be both a tactical military leader and a compassionate healthcare provider. This balance is essential for maintaining readiness and providing high-quality care across diverse environments, from state-of-the-art hospitals to austere settings. Diverse Pathways to Professional Growth: The military offers robust career progression models that allow individuals to advance from enlisted roles, such as combat medics, to commissioned officer roles, such as Nurse Practitioners. These pathways demonstrate the Army's commitment to internal development and provide a platform for long-term professional fulfillment and leadership. Commitment to Medical Readiness and Adaptability: A core requirement for military medical officers is the ability to adapt to rapidly changing assignments and maintain constant readiness for deployment. This flexibility ensures that the healthcare team is always prepared to support the needs of the unit and the nation, regardless of the location or timeframe. Foundational Values of Respect and Compassion: The success of the Army Nurse Corps is built on core values such as respect for patients and peers, as well as a deep spirit of empathy. These values shape the military healthcare culture and are vital for building trust with service members and their families during critical moments of care. Global Impact and Limitless Career Opportunities: Unlike civilian nursing, a career in the Army Nurse Corps provides expansive opportunities in command, broadening assignments, and international service. This "limitless" potential allows officers to impact the broader Department of Defense mission while honing specialized clinical and leadership skills.   Episode Keywords Army Nurse Corps, military medicine podcast, US Army nursing, Basic Officer Leader Course, BOLC, nurse officer training, military healthcare careers, combat medic to nurse, nursing leadership, medical readiness, ROTC nursing scholarship, military nursing stories, first generation officer, Army healthcare team, nursing opportunities, military career paths, nurse practitioner stories, Army nursing history, medical officer training, healthcare leadership, veteran nurses, WarDocs, healthcare professional development, Army medical readiness.

Burnout doesn't usually come from caring too much. It comes from carrying too much for too long. In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Melanie Gray to talk about trauma-informed leadership, nervous system overload, and how nonprofit leaders can respond to stress with clarity instead of reactivity. We unpack how to spot burnout early, set real boundaries, and build cultures of care that support both your people and your mission without pretending yoga fixes everything. Episode Highlights 02:28 Dr. Gray's background and personal story 05:07 What trauma-informed care really means 08:54 Stress and burnout in nonprofit leadership 10:43 Setting boundaries and managing capacity 20:49 Building a trauma-informed nonprofit culture Meet the Guest My guest for this episode is Dr. Melanie Gray   Dr. Melanie Gray is a PhD-prepared nurse, educator, and trauma-informed leadership consultant with more than 25 years of experience in healthcare and higher education. She specializes in helping mission-driven leaders prevent burnout, lead with emotional integrity, and create cultures of care that sustain both people and purpose.   Grounded in neuroscience, trauma-informed care, and systems thinking, Dr. Gray translates complex research on stress, the nervous system, and emotional labor into practical tools nonprofit leaders can use in real time. Her work bridges theory and practice—offering evidence-informed strategies that honor human limits while advancing organizational impact.   Drawing on her background in nursing leadership, curriculum design, and frontline experience in high-acuity environments, she equips leaders to recognize signs of nervous-system overload—in themselves and their teams—and to respond with clarity rather than reactivity. Her approach emphasizes that sustainable leadership begins with psychological safety, nervous-system regulation, and realistic boundaries at every level of the organization.   Through keynotes, workshops, and coaching, Dr. Gray teaches that caring for the caregivers is not a luxury—it is a strategic imperative for retention, innovation, and long-term mission success. During the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership Podcast, Dr. Gray will share actionable insights on: Leading on Fumes: Recognizing early warning signs of burnout and practical first steps to reverse the trend. Cultures of Care: How to embed trauma-informed principles into communication, supervision, and organizational norms.   Regulated Leadership: Simple, science-backed regulation tools that help leaders hold space for others without sacrificing their own well-being.   Connect with Dr. Melanie: https://www.facebook.com/melanie.gray.550422 https://www.instagram.com/drmelaniewellnesscoach/ https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61577286124894 https://x.com/MelanietheRN https://www.linkedin.com/in/drmelaniegray/ www.DrMelanieGrayTheConfidenceCoach.com Sponsored Resource Join the Inspired Nonprofit Leadership Newsletter for weekly tips and inspiration for leading your nonprofit!

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Do you feel constantly worried about shrinking organic visibility, heavier ad pressure, and constant change? Running an agency has never been a straight line. Platforms change, algorithms shift, and what worked five years ago can quietly stop working overnight. Organic visibility is shrinking, ads are getting more expensive, and uncertainty feels constant. Today's featured guest knows that reality and will share her journey from agency employee to founder of a 43-person local SEO agency, along with her honest perspective on Google, AI, remote teams, and why growing bigger can actually create more freedom and impact when done for the right reasons. Joy Hawkins is the founder and owner of Sterling Sky, a specialized local SEO agency focused on helping businesses rank on Google Maps and local search results. She has been working in the SEO industry since 2006 and is widely known for her deep understanding of how Google's algorithm works, especially in local search. Sterling Sky is a fully remote agency with team members spread across Canada and the United States. What started as a small consulting experiment has grown into a 43-person team over eight years. In this episode, we'll discuss: Google, AI, and the future of local SEO Why SEO agencies must diversify to survive Building a fully remote team.

From Agency Employee to Founder of a Local SEO Agency After more than a decade inside agencies, Joy realized she was more interested in how systems worked than in selling them. When disagreements about services and sales responsibilities reached a breaking point, she decided to try consulting (fully prepared to dip into savings and return to a job if needed). Clients came faster than expected. Eight years later, that experiment has grown into a 43-person remote agency. Google, AI, and the Future of Local SEO One of the biggest challenges Joy sees in the industry right now is the pace of change inside Google's ecosystem. Features are constantly being swapped out, organic real estate is shrinking, and small businesses are feeling the impact more than ever. While agencies can usually adapt, clients often struggle because Google still represents such a large percentage of their lead flow. A major concern Joy sees is how Google is pushing more ads and limiting organic exposure, especially in local results. On mobile devices, users are now seeing local service ads dominate the top of the screen, followed by AI-driven local results that are shrinking from three listings down to one in some cases. For businesses that used to rely on being second or third in the map pack, this shift can mean a dramatic drop in calls almost overnight. Despite the fear around AI, Joy does not believe Google is going anywhere. As she points out, Google's real advantage is data. Reviews, location history, calls, visits, and behavior all live inside Google Maps. That depth of information is something other platforms struggle to match. Local SEO is still viable, but it is no longer free traffic in the way many business owners became used to. The bigger lesson is not about Google itself, but about dependency. When an agency or a business relies too heavily on one channel, any change can feel catastrophic. The agencies that struggle the most right now tend to be those built around rigid, cookie-cutter systems that cannot flex with the landscape. Why SEO Agencies Must Diversify to Survive Agency owners who want time to adapt should keep in mind it's always better to have an outbound strategy, an inbound strategy, and partnerships that you can rely on. If all your business comes from one channel and that channel changes, you are forced into reaction mode. The opportunity here is for agencies to guide clients toward broader strategies. That might include paid ads, partnerships, or even old school tactics like direct mail and local sponsorships. The exact tactic matters less than the mindset. Businesses need multiple levers to pull so they are not held hostage by one platform's decisions. For instance, right now everyone's scrambling to adopt AI in their processes, services, and more. But you should also try to understand the economics behind AI and advertising. The massive data centers, energy consumption, and infrastructure costs mean that today's low prices will not last forever. Platforms are investing heavily now with the expectation that monetization will follow. For agency owners, this reinforces the importance of pricing correctly, setting expectations with clients, and building offers that account for rising costs and shrinking organic margins. Building a Fully Remote Agency Joy's agency started more as a practical decision than a remote-first experiment. After years of working from home she saw no reason to take on the overhead of an office. The cost savings mattered early on, but the flexibility mattered even more. Without a commute, Joy could better balance work and family life. That same benefit extended to her team. Many of her early hires were former coworkers from an agency that later shut down, people she already trusted and respected. Since they were geographically spread out, an office would have created unnecessary friction. Expanding into the United States was also a strategic move. Joy wanted access to a larger talent pool so she could be extremely selective about who she hired. Being remote made it possible to hire people who were already passionate about local SEO instead of settling for whoever happened to live nearby. Culture, Connection, and Team Building at Scale One of the risks of running a remote agency is losing human connection. Joy is very intentional about avoiding that. While informal meetups happen more often in Canada, the entire team gets together once a year for an in person retreat. The goal of these retreats is mostly relationship building. Joy genuinely likes the people she works with and considers many of them friends. She believes that strong relationships create trust, better communication, and a healthier work environment overall. Joy sees firsthand how flexible work, reasonable boundaries, and a supportive environment can be life changing for employees who came from toxic workplaces. That impact has become a meaningful part of why she continues to grow the agency. Why Scaling the Agency Became a Mission When she first started her agency, Joy wanted a small team. Ten people or fewer. Highly experienced. Minimal management. That vision changed a few years in, and the reason surprised her. Around two years in, her agency began supporting a charity in Uganda, and the more she built that relationship, the more Joy saw how far a single dollar could stretch there compared to North America. Visiting in person made the impact real. She realized that by growing the agency, she could dramatically increase the good they could do through that partnership. The same realization applied to her team. As the agency grew, Joy saw how stable, flexible work improved her employees' lives. That sense of responsibility and opportunity shifted her perspective as she figured out her purpose. Now growth was no longer about ego or scale for its own sake. It became a way to create more impact both inside and outside the business. Leadership, Delegation, and Hiring for Your Weaknesses Agency owners who wish to keep their businesses small are often thinking about the nightmare that running a big agency can be. They imagine that the headaches they deal with at ten employees will just double if the team doubles. However, this was never the case for Joy. When she thinks about overworking she thinks about her time working for others. This is probably because Joy has always been very clear about what she does not enjoy. Accounting, taxes, and people management are high on the list, and instead of forcing herself to become good at everything, she hired people who genuinely enjoy those areas. A strong accountant removed massive mental load early on and hiring leadership team members who thrive on managing people allowed Joy to focus on strategy and innovation. She believes this is one of the biggest unlocks for agency owners who feel trapped. Delegation is not about offloading busywork. It is about trusting capable people to own outcomes. Joy prefers hiring experienced professionals over entry level talent because she does not want to micromanage. Her expectations are high, but so is her respect for her team's autonomy.

What happens when your business grows faster than your systems—and regulations force you to rebuild everything? In this conversation, Marie and Justin Plummer of Winston-Salem Dogcare share how North Carolina's Animal Welfare rules pushed them from "in-home" into a fully regulated, facility-based setup and what that required financially and operationally. We talk about the mindset shift from feeling like problems are "happening to you" to showing up as a prepared problem solver. They unpack how staff surveys revealed unseen disconnects, and how professional development became a retention tool once the team began treating pet care as a long-term career. Finally, we dig into preserving client connection at scale—using boundaries, a flexible "gray area," and a reminder that your software is just a tool, not the heart of your business. Main topics: Scaling through state regulations Leadership as problem-solving Staff surveys reveal gaps Defining the "gray area" Client connection at scale Main takeaway: "We agreed on what our gray was." — Marie Plummer That's the difference between having boundaries and actually being able to live with them when real life hits. Most of us try to draw one hard line for every situation—then we either break it, feel guilty, or become rigid and resentful. Defining the gray means you and your leadership team decide, ahead of time, where flexibility is allowed and what factors make it bigger or smaller (staffing levels, capacity, season, client history, real emergencies). It protects your standards and your sanity, because you're not negotiating from scratch every time something comes up. The goal isn't to be soft or strict—the goal is to be consistent, human, and sustainable. About our guests: Marie and Justin Plummer are the owners of Winston-Salem Dogcare in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. Since launching in 2017, they've grown from in-home services into a highly regulated daycare/boarding and in-home care operation, adapting quickly to state and local requirements. They lead a large team while homeschooling their three children, balancing business growth with family priorities. Their approach emphasizes people-first leadership, strong client communication, and building a business that can run well beyond the owners.

What if leadership isn't about arriving… but about continuing?In this special return to The Shadows Podcast, Bodhi sits down once again with retired Chief Master Sergeant and author Joe Bogdan to explore his new book, Better Has No Finish Line: Waypoints on the Lifelong Pursuit of Self-Mastery and Leadership. Rather than offering quick fixes or leadership formulas, this conversation digs into the uncomfortable, often unseen work of growth—reflection, humility, ownership, and identity.Together, they unpack why true leadership is forged through pressure, why progress matters more than perfection, and why some of the most meaningful growth happens at waypoints we never planned to stop at. Joe shares hard-earned lessons from his military and post-service journey, including the cost of unexamined success, the danger of chasing rank or position without purpose, and how empathy and emotional intelligence transformed the way he leads.This episode isn't about having all the answers. It's about asking better questions:What is your brand when you walk into a room?What is it really like to be on the other side of you?Are you growing… or just moving?If you're a leader, an emerging leader, or someone navigating a season of feeling stuck, this conversation will challenge you to rethink progress, redefine success, and embrace the idea that better has no finish line.

“Send Coach John a message”I remember this thought that I saw from The Mindfulness Meditation Institute (@TrainingMindful) that my friend @DrJeffLpip shared many times. “Hope and Fear cannot occupy the same space. Invite one to stay.” - Maya Angelou was the one who put that powerful thought out there many years ago. I needed this reminder, again, and I know I need to simply make the choice that for me, Hope has the space for sure! There are too many things out there connected to fear and I don't want to choose that any longer.
