Selling products doesn't have to feel awkward or salesy. In this episode of Fully Booked, Elicia Crook shares simple strategies for recommending products you genuinely use, love, and believe can help your clients.  Host: Elicia Crook is a business coach and mentor for massage therapists, sharing the tactics she used to create her business success over 16 years. She is a diploma-qualified remedial massage therapist, using modalities such as Bowen and craniosacral therapy, and has a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment, which she used while teaching massage for several years. Through her career and business experience, Crook discovered who she needed to be and what is required to run a deeply satisfying massage business. Now she takes the Fully Booked Without Burnout blueprint to other therapists around the world to create more success and passion. For more information, visit https://healthleaderco.com/ Resources: I love being a massage therapist, but there was a point where I'd realized I'd built a really busy practice and also accidentally built a business that completely relied on me. If I didn't treat, I didn't earn, and I knew I wanted more, more income, more impact, more freedom, but mostly more choice. I didn't wanna stop being a therapist. I wanted to build a business that supported the life I actually wanted, and learning how to think like a business owner changed everything for me, and that's why I created Mastery. So if you love what you do, but there's a part of you thinking, "I know my business could be more than this," book a Mastery call. You can apply at the bottom on the page and book a call with my Christine or James to get eyes on your business. Let's put 20 minutes of eyes on your business to see what's possible. https://healthleaderco.com/mastery   "Making the Leap to a Full-Time Business" https://www.abmp.com/learn/course/making-leap-full-time-business-part-1-mindset Sponsor: Jane is a practice management platform for health and wellness clinics, used by more than 245,000 practitioners worldwide.

John continues his conversation with Alice Sesay Pope about how AI is changing business, leadership, and entrepreneurship. Alice explains how Generative and Agentic AI can help entrepreneurs and small businesses work faster, save money, and grow without huge teams. They also talk about trust, guardrails, and how to wisely use AI. About Alice Sesay Pope: Alice Pope is a Fortune 100 Customer Experience and Operations executive who helps enterprise organizations transform CX into a measurable driver of revenue, retention, and loyalty — while modernizing cost-to-serve through digital enablement, automation, and Generative AI. She leads at the intersection of customer trust, operational excellence, and innovation — because the organizations that win at scale don't choose between efficiency and empathy. They build intelligent systems that deliver both. With more than 30 years of executive leadership in complex, global environments, Alice has led large-scale transformations that connect the full CX ecosystem — product, engineering, analytics, care, and field operations — turning customer insight into sustained business performance.

[12:22] - Utilizing AI from day one when starting a new business [17:10] - How Alice's faith impacts her business [19:33] - Alice's definition of success [20:07] - The most valuable skill sets in the AI era [22:35] - Traits of a great leader [23:23] - #1 daily habit [24:23] - The legacy Alice wants to leave behind [26:11] - Book recommendations [28:17] - How Alice invests in her marriage [29:34] - Circle 10 and why this program is important to her [32:31] - Best way to connect with Alice [35:18] - Wrap-up NOTABLE QUOTES: "Don't take everything that a Generative AI gives you as gospel. Still inspect, still conduct your audit." "Life and business are all about relationships. There's nothing before that. There's nothing after that." "Every business is a problem solver of some kind." "Success is utilizing your God-given talents to make the world a better place. So, when you go to bed at night, you feel good about what you do." "You can have an advisor, or a coach, Generative AI. But there's nothing more powerful than a real person who could be a coach, who can exchange an idea with you, who can feel your pain when you've had a failure, and help you say, 'Get back up again,' and encourage you." "There will be people who embrace the tools that will build wealth in ways that we've never seen before … but, at the same time, there are people that will be too scared of it … and it will widen the wealth gap." "Don't just launch a generative AI solution just to be launching it … Start with your customer. What can you solve for your customer faster? Will it reduce customer effort? Will it increase loyalty?" "There's something that's still powerful about a human connection and I hope our world doesn't lose that."

This episode was sponsored by Cardiff    LightSpeed VT: https://www.lightspeedvt.com/ Dropping Bombs Podcast: https://www.droppingbombs.com/ Today's Dropping Bombs episode delivers a brain-bending conversation with Jim Kwik, the world's most recognized brain performance coach who turned a childhood head injury into a 34-year career training half of the Fortune 500, including Google, Nike, SpaceX, and the U.S. Air Force.   Jim breaks down his LEAP method for learning faster in the age of AI, why human intelligence (not artificial intelligence) will decide who wins the next wealth gap, and the sleep inertia window quietly running your entire day before you even open your eyes.   Everyone thinks their memory, focus, or intelligence is just who they are. Jim proves it's actually a skill, one you were never taught and can start training today. If you've ever been curious about the true limitless power of the mind, this episode delivers.   

If you’ve ever doubted whether you still had the “music in you,” to take a bold leap at midlife, this conversation with Edi Matsumoto offers proof that reinvention is possible. After 30 years as a nurse practitioner and disallusioned by the health care system, Edi traded in her stethoscope for a paintbrush. We talk about the moment she realized her calling had shifted, the leap of faith that led her to open her own gallery in California, and how a whimsical concept called “Otter Therapy” became a genuine source of joy and healing for thousands of people. In this episode, you'll discover: Why burnout and disillusionment can be the universe’s way of pointing you toward your next chapter, not a sign that you’ve failed. How Edi found her niche by paying attention to what people genuinely responded to, not just what she thought she “should” be painting. Why the Japanese concept of ikigai offers a simple framework for midlife reinvention. How community, like Edi’s monthly “Carmel Bohemian Club” gathering, became essential fuel for staying the course when self-doubt crept in. About My Guest Edi Matsumoto spent nearly 30 years as a nurse practitioner before leaving healthcare in 2021 to become a full-time artist. She’s the creator of “Otter Therapy,” a series of whimsical fine art pieces that reimagine beloved paintings and portraits with sea otters. She’s also the owner of own gallery in Carmel-by-the-Sea, California. Edi is the author of “Otter Therapy” and hosts a monthly community gathering for local artists called the Carmel Bohemian Club.

The S&P is hitting all-time highs, but the buying pressure fueling this market has almost nothing to do with fundamentals — and everything to do with a trade most retail investors have never heard of. Andy Tanner, Corey Halliday, and Noah Davidson break down the Japanese carry trade, why Japan selling U.S. Treasuries is quietly reshaping global markets, and how a hedge fund turned $1 billion into $45 billion — then lost it all — because of leverage, not bad picks. You'll hear why the AI memory stocks that led this rally probably won't lead the next one, how to use extreme volatility events to sell LEAP options for outsized premiums, and why volatility always mean reverts — even when you don't know when. There's always a trade to be had. The question is whether you know how to find it.

Nate Tice & Matt Harmon deep dive on all four teams in the AFC South ahead of the 2026 NFL season. The duo kick things off with a few takeaways from the first week of preseason action, including rookie wideouts that impressed (are we on the De'Zhaun Stribling hype train?) First up in the AFC South deep dive, it's the Jacksonville Jaguars, who are coming off an impressive 13-win season under new head coach Liam Coen. Can Jacksonville shore up its weaknesses to become a real threat in a wide-open AFC? Next up are the Houston Texans. The defense should be dominant, but can C.J. Stroud and the offense keep up? Meanwhile, the Indianapolis Colts are hoping Daniel Jones can repeat his first half of last year in a pivotal season for the franchise. Finally, the Tennessee Titans are building around young QB Cam Ward under HC Robert Saleh, and Matt & Nate weigh in on whether Tennessee could surprise some people this fall. The two hosts finish up with their predictions for how the division will shake out this season.

Would you like to get the absolute most out of every workshop you attend? What helps us retain information? And more importantly, how do we take all those incredible things we learn and put them into practice when we get home? Learning something is one thing. Doing something with it is where the magic happens. And that's exactly what I'm going to share with you in this episode. Host: Elicia Crook is a business coach and mentor for massage therapists, sharing the tactics she used to create her business success over 16 years. She is a diploma-qualified remedial massage therapist, using modalities such as Bowen and craniosacral therapy, and has a Cert IV in Workplace Training and Assessment, which she used while teaching massage for several years. Through her career and business experience, Crook discovered who she needed to be and what is required to run a deeply satisfying massage business. Now she takes the Fully Booked Without Burnout blueprint to other therapists around the world to create more success and passion. For more information, visit https://healthleaderco.com/ Resources: I love being a massage therapist, but there was a point where I'd realized I'd built a really busy practice and also accidentally built a business that completely relied on me. If I didn't treat, I didn't earn, and I knew I wanted more, more income, more impact, more freedom, but mostly more choice. I didn't wanna stop being a therapist. I wanted to build a business that supported the life I actually wanted, and learning how to think like a business owner changed everything for me, and that's why I created Mastery. So if you love what you do, but there's a part of you thinking, "I know my business could be more than this," book a Mastery call. You can apply at the bottom on the page and book a call with my Christine or James to get eyes on your business. Let's put 20 minutes of eyes on your business to see what's possible. https://healthleaderco.com/mastery   Making the Leap to a Full-Time Business" https://www.abmp.com/learn/course/making-leap-full-time-business-part-1-mindset   Sponsor: Jane is a practice management platform for health and wellness clinics, used by more than 245,000 practitioners worldwide.

The Jets' endless quarterback search takes another frustrating turn as Shaun Morash and Tiki Barber wonder whether Carson Beck could become the latest passer New York regrets missing. They examine why some quarterbacks develop later than expected, how quickly teams now have to make decisions on young passers, and why Jaxson Dart's second season with the Giants is such an important test.

On this week's rerun episode of Artist Friendly, Joel Madden is joined by Eyedress. Born in Manila, Eyedress came to the US at five years old, moving through Arizona and California — discovering punk and skate culture along the way — before his family returned to the Philippines when he was 15. After years of self-releasing lo-fi bedroom recordings and slowly building an online following, he broke through with 2020's Let's Skip to the Wedding, which spawned global hits "Jealous" and "Romantic Lover" and eventually led to a deal with RCA. Since then, he's collaborated with artists like Mac DeMarco, King Krule, and Harmony Korine, carving out a sound that's equal parts woozy, nostalgic, and entirely his own. Eyedress and Joel dig into his journey from a rough childhood to building a life and family on his own terms, the anxiety that still follows him even after years of success, and why he believes the biggest leap of faith he ever took was also the best decision he ever made.

While higher education is grappling with the implications of a demographic shift among applicants, an equally important trend of a decidedly geographic nature is creating winners and losers on opposite sides of the Mason-Dixon Line. Amy and Mike invited independent education consultant Mark Stucker to explain why Southern colleges are currently so popular. What are five things you will learn in this episode? Are Southern colleges and universities really outpacing other schools in popularity, and why? How did the pandemic influence admissions trends? Are there any particular schools drawing more applicants? Are students happy at Southern colleges once they get there? What should students who aren't from the South know about attending Southern colleges? MEET OUR GUEST Mark Stucker has spent more than 25 years helping students and families navigate one of life's most important decisions: finding the right college fit. Throughout his career, he has worked in college admissions, boarding school admissions, and college counseling across independent, public, and charter schools, as well as in private practice, guiding more than 2,000 students from all 50 states through the admissions process. His philosophy is simple but powerful: every student deserves a college that is both the right academic and personal fit—and one that is financially attainable for their family. Mark's career has included leadership roles at Westtown School, where he served as Associate Director of Admissions, chaired the admissions committee for five years, and worked extensively in college counseling. He later spent more than a decade with KIPP Metro Atlanta, building and leading college counseling programs that helped approximately 70 students each year successfully transition to college. In 2010, he founded School Match 4U, an educational consulting firm dedicated to helping students identify their best educational opportunities. Widely recognized as a trusted voice in college admissions, Mark is the author of 171 Answers to the Most-Asked College Admissions Questions and the founder, co-host, and producer of the Your College-Bound Kid podcast, which has become Apple's most-listened-to podcast in the Education for Kids category. His expertise is informed by visits to more than 350 college campuses and professional involvement with organizations including IECA, NACAC, and SACAC. He is also a graduate of the Harvard Summer Institute for College Admissions and Stanford University's Counselor Outreach Program. When he's not talking college admissions, Mark enjoys traveling, golfing, gardening, reading, exploring different cuisines, and following college and professional sports. He and his wife of 35 years are the proud parents of two successful daughters, and his passion for helping students discover their futures continues to shape the advice and insight he shares with families across the country.

They explore the evidence behind lateral extra-articular tenodesis (LET), patient selection and indications, potential complications, LET versus anterolateral ligament reconstruction (ALLR), surgical technique, fixation strategies, and rehabilitation considerations.The conversation also highlights the Arthrex Knee FiberTak system, including how an all-suture anchor platform may address some of the limitations of traditional LET fixation.Key Topics DiscussedWhy add a lateral augmentation procedure to ACL reconstruction?Evidence demonstrating reduced ACL graft rupture and improved rotational stabilityThe role of LEAP in high-risk primary ACL reconstruction and revision ACL surgeryImpact on return to sport and pre-injury level of playEmerging evidence supporting the cost-effectiveness of LETUnderstanding the potential downsidesLateral-sided pain and hardware irritationHematoma and need for hardware removalEarly quadriceps weaknessConcerns regarding over-constraint and long-term degenerative changesWhether adding a lateral procedure meaningfully changes postoperative recoveryWho actually needs a LEAP?Young, active athletesHigh-grade pivot shift or anterior laxityKnee hyperextensionRevision ACL reconstructionAthletes returning to pivoting sportsHamstring autograft ACL reconstructionMultiple coexisting risk factorsChronic ACL deficiency and other emerging indicationsLEAP in elite athletesHow professional team physicians are approaching lateral augmentationCurrent practice patterns in elite and professional sportsThe balance between maximizing graft survivorship and avoiding unnecessary proceduresLET versus ALL reconstructionDifferences in surgical approachClinical outcomes and graft failureRotational stabilityOperative time, cost, and potential complicationsWhy surgeons may favor one technique over the otherModern LET surgical techniqueGraft harvest and preparationRelationship of the graft to the LCLFemoral fixationKnee position during fixationGraft orientation and isometryAvoiding over-constraintImportance of anatomic attachment sitesManagement of the IT band at the conclusion of the procedureSpotlight: Arthrex Knee FiberTakThe episode takes a closer look at the Knee FiberTak platform and its application in lateral augmentation.The guests discuss how an all-suture anchor platform may offer advantages compared with traditional fixation methods, including:Reduced hardware prominenceBone preservationPotentially decreased risk of tunnel convergenceLow-profile fixationErgonomic instrumentation designed specifically for the kneeMultiple fixation configurations for different surgical applicationsThe Knee FiberTak family includes:Double-Knotless AnchorDouble-Knotted AnchorHybrid AnchorInternalBrace AnchorKnee FiberTak ButtonThe discussion explores how surgeons select between different configurations and how a versatile fixation platform can improve efficiency and adaptability in the operating room.Rehab & Return to SportThe episode concludes with a practical discussion of rehabilitation following ACL reconstruction with lateral augmentation.While the addition of a LEAP generally does not dramatically alter standard postoperative restrictions, the guests emphasize several priorities:Regaining full knee extensionRestoring quadriceps strength and activationMonitoring early quadriceps recoveryMaintaining appropriate progression through rehabilitationPreparing the athlete for a safe and successful return to sportSummaryLEAPs are no longer simply a historical technique being revisited. Contemporary evidence suggests that appropriately selected patients—particularly young, high-risk athletes, patients with significant rotational instability, revision ACL cases, and athletes returning to pivoting sports—may benefit from lateral augmentation as part of a comprehensive ACL reconstruction strategy.The challenge for modern sports surgeons is determining who truly benefits, which technique is most appropriate, and how to perform the procedure without introducing unnecessary morbidity or over-constraint.DisclaimerThis episode is sponsored by Arthrex.

Growth is not always the right move. Sometimes, the smartest decision is to slow down and repair the machine. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why stepping back can be the exact move your business needs when systems are breaking, employees are burning out, and customer experience is slipping. Blind momentum can be dangerous. Adding more clients to a broken operation only increases the pressure. Strong leaders know when to stop chasing short-term revenue and focus on rebuilding the foundation. In this episode, you'll learn: • Why constant growth can become dangerous when operations are weak• How rising churn and employee burnout signal deeper problems• Why sacrificing short-term revenue can protect long-term growth• How stronger systems create the foundation for a more powerful comeback The truth is simple: You cannot build higher on a cracked foundation. Pause the growth. Fix the systems. Retrain the team. Strengthen the operation before adding more pressure. Sometimes, taking one step back is what gives you the ability to take ten steps forward.

"Leap and the net will appear."It's a nice sentiment. It's a comfort blanket. It tells us that if we just take that blind jump, the universe will step in and catch us.But I'm not here to talk to you about blind jumps, and I'm certainly not here to talk about waiting for a miracle.I'm here to talk about the reality of your own power. Your own confidence, your own energy, your own way of being. If you're standing on the ledge, waiting for a net to manifest from thin air, you're not taking a leap—you're just practicing how to stay stuck.The truth is, there is no net waiting for you. There is only the net you are actively weaving together.  coach-tammy.com

The 8/8 Lions Gate Portal is open, and this year it doesn't simply open and close. It opened with a powerful Full Moon, peaks on August 8th, and carries us straight into the Total Solar Eclipse on August 12th and the new eclipse cycle beginning. In this video, the 3 key things you need to know to make the most of this eclipsed Lions Gate, plus a card pull for the collective.

Many of us have felt stuck professionally, like we've lost our spark, or are too old to follow our dreams. Entrepreneur David Thurston's new memoir, The Spiral Staircase: Why I Stepped Off a Rocket Ship to Build a Cathedral, is filled with insight and advice to help you get back on track. Jill sat down with Thurston, where he provided lessons from his own career journey. Thurston built a hair color brand called Pulp Riot from scratch, scaled it globally, and sold it to L'Oréal for nearly $100 million, all in under two years. But then, at the peak of success, he walked away, took a year off, and asked himself: What kind of company, and what kind of life, do I really want to build? Four years later, David and Alexis bootstrapped a new hair color brand, Danger Jones, which is taking on the industry's largest color houses by focusing on the professional artist community rather than traditional corporate marketing. The conservation is an honest look at what it takes to create something new, take on the biggest players in the industry, and create “work-life fusion” – not necessarily “work-life balance.” And why all the money in the world doesn't buy happiness.  Jill Wagner (⁠⁠⁠@jillrwagner⁠⁠⁠) is an Emmy and Murrow award-winning journalist.
