A Note from JamesI'm really concerned about the level of discourse in this country. It's almost a cliché to say that now, but especially after the Charlie Kirk assassination, the division feels overwhelming. I even got invited to speak at the Oxford Union—the most prestigious debate society in the world—but ultimately declined because I didn't like how the whole situation was being handled.I can't stand when anyone celebrates a death. Regardless of politics, it disturbs me. And every day, my social media feed is filled with more division and hatred. So I wanted to talk with Charles Duhigg. He wrote Super Communicators (now out in paperback) about how to actually connect with people in a world that seems torn apart. Even in a short conversation, I learned so much from him—things that made me think in new ways.Episode DescriptionPulitzer Prize-winning journalist and bestselling author Charles Duhigg (Super Communicators, The Power of Habit) joins James to explore how we can talk to each other in an age of polarization. From tragic political violence to everyday disagreements with family and friends, Charles explains why humans are wired for connection, how to ask better questions, and what it takes to turn conflict into understanding.This episode is a practical guide to becoming a better communicator—especially when the stakes are high.What You'll LearnThe three types of conversations—emotional, practical, and social—and why mismatched conversations cause breakdowns.How to ask “deep questions” that uncover values and experiences, not just surface facts.Why mirroring, looping, and listening carefully make people feel truly heard.How to handle anger and cliches with curiosity instead of combat.Why disagreements don't destroy democracy—bad communication does.Timestamped Chapters[03:08] James on division, Oxford Union, and why he turned down an invitation[06:06] Why James brought Charles Duhigg on the podcast[07:00] Political violence, polarization, and clashing conversations[10:42] What made Charlie Kirk an effective communicator[12:21] Communication as connection, not just information[13:21] Do both sides have to want connection?[15:20] Congress, partisanship, and performative politics[19:36] How “deep questions” build trust and reveal values[21:10] James on why he podcasts—and Charles's analysis[23:39] Social reciprocity and feeling closer through vulnerability[24:23] History shows the value of disagreement done right[26:00] Why we reward bad behavior—and how to stop[27:09] James on gun control neutrality and frustration[29:00] Parenting lessons applied to political disagreements[30:00] “When you're furious, get curious”[31:53] Moving past cliches by asking about personal experiences[33:08] Admitting confidence levels in arguments[34:19] Is Charles optimistic about America's communication future?[34:50] A challenge for listeners: ask someone you disagree with “why does this matter to you?”[36:09] Closing thoughts: Super Communicators now in paperbackAdditional Resources

Send us a textIs gratitude optional in marriage?According to one viral TikTok clip, yes.In this episode of Build Your Happier Marriage, I react to a wife proudly declaring she doesn't thank her husband for everyday responsibilities like taking out the trash, unloading the dishwasher, or making the bed.What she doesn't realize is that this “Diva Mentality” — fueled by feminism, cultural shifts, and social media trends — is toxic to marriages.We'll break down:Why withholding gratitude slowly starves a husband's soul.How respect and appreciation fuel a man's willingness to provide, protect, and show up in marriage.Why TikTok culture is normalizing entitlement and disrespect in the home.And most importantly, how small acts of thanks can radically shift the atmosphere of your marriage.If you've ever wondered why your husband seems to pull back emotionally, this episode may give you the answer.

A Note from JamesThis is a crazy story. Martin Suarez holds the record for the longest continuous undercover assignment in FBI history. He went undercover as a cartel drug lord—smuggling billions of dollars' worth of cocaine while posing as “Manny.” At one point, the story even starts with a gun to his head, convinced his cover was blown.The book Inside the Cartel: A True Crime Tale of Espionage, Undercover Operations, and a War Against Billionaire Drug Lords—co-authored with journalist Ian Frisch—captures it all. Martin's voice may be difficult to catch at times because he's been battling ALS, but every word is worth hearing. Ian also joins to help tell the story. This conversation had me on the edge of my seat.Episode DescriptionFormer FBI agent Martin Suarez spent more than a decade living undercover inside Colombian cartels. Known to the underworld as “Manny,” he laundered money, smuggled cocaine, and survived assassination attempts—all while secretly working for the U.S. government.In this episode, James sits down with Suarez and his co-author Ian Frisch to explore how an ordinary Navy veteran became the FBI's ultimate undercover agent, why deception works in high-stakes negotiations, and what lessons from cartel infiltration apply to everyday life.What You'll LearnThe psychological techniques Martin used to maintain his cover for years inside violent cartels.How undercover work creates “alternate realities” to control narratives and shift blame.Why confidence and self-belief are critical in negotiation, business, and personal life.The role of deception and patience in both undercover work and real-world persuasion.How Martin and his family managed the risks and sacrifices of a life lived undercover.Timestamped Chapters[03:00] A gun to the head: the moment Martin thought his cover was blown[07:00] Surviving a cartel hitman[10:00] From Navy to FBI: the start of an undercover career[12:00] Why Martin was the “perfect” undercover agent[14:00] Smuggling versus intelligence gathering: the FBI's strategy[16:00] How to move cartel shipments without breaking cover[18:00] The art of deflecting blame and creating alternate realities[22:00] Cartel power and control in Colombia[23:00] U.S. government ties and the Iran-Contra era[25:00] Using FBI agents as “girlfriends” to gather intelligence[27:00] Facing long-term risks—and the bigger battle with ALS[30:00] Marriage, trust, and sacrifice during undercover life[32:00] Art theft undercover operation in Europe[36:00] Fooling even the CIA with a perfect legend[41:00] How legends are built in the digital age[44:00] Negotiation, seduction, and cartel psychology[45:00] Ian's lessons on confidence and self-convincing[47:00] Applying undercover strategies to everyday life[49:00] The role of greed in cartel decision-making[50:00] Marriage, grounding, and long-term support[51:00] Are cartel leaders truly evil—or just highly educated?Additional Resources

Dr. Michelle Peticolas, international bestselling author and award-winning filmmaker, reveals why some people stay stuck in grief for decades while others heal naturally. Discover how unprocessed emotions literally lodge in your cellular memory and learn the revolutionary SERVE framework that transforms grief from suffering into authentic self-discovery.What You'll LearnThe physiological difference between normal grief and complex griefWhy traditional therapy often fails for long-term grieversHow childhood survival patterns create people-pleasing behaviors that block authentic healingThe SERVE framework: a step-by-step system for releasing trapped emotionsReal transformation stories, including a client who healed from 20 years of grief in monthsSigns that indicate you may be experiencing complex griefKey TakeawaysUnderstanding Grief as Physiological Grief isn't just emotional—it's a whole-body experience that triggers biological survival responses. When unexpressed, these emotions literally lodge in your cells and emerge at unexpected times through triggers.The People-Pleasing Pattern Many who struggle with complex grief developed people-pleasing survival mechanisms in childhood. These patterns, formed to maintain conditional love, prevent authentic self-expression and proper emotional processing.The SERVE FrameworkS - Surrender to feelings and emotions (with proper support)E - Engage with supportive community (like elephants protecting their grieving)R - Reframe your story about the lossV - Vision for who you want to becomeE - Express your authentic self in the worldInstead of seeing grief as something to overcome, honor it as a testament to love.

A Note from JamesWhat does it take to make a discovery that changes the world? Think about landing on the moon — a true moonshot. Along the way, countless technologies were invented that reshaped life back on Earth.My guest today, Astro Teller, has been part of that same kind of world-changing work. At X — Alphabet's Moonshot Factory — he's led projects that gave us self-driving cars, Google Brain, drone delivery, augmented reality with Google Glass, and much more. We even talk about quantum computing, drones that bring your groceries to your backyard, and the mindset it takes to believe in something that once sounded like science fiction.Astro and I first crossed paths when I visited Google X back in 2012 or 2013. He was on this podcast in 2015, and now, ten years later, he's back to talk about his own show — The Moonshot Podcast — and the latest bold projects that could shape our future.Episode DescriptionAstro Teller, Captain of Moonshots at Alphabet's X, joins James to share how impossible-sounding ideas become real. From Waymo's self-driving cars to Wing's drones, from the birth of Google Brain to breakthroughs in quantum networking and modernizing electric grids, Astro explains the engineering mindset that drives innovation.This episode goes beyond technology — it's about how to think like a moonshot maker.

In this solo episode, Chanie Wilschanski unpacks Three Money Truths every school leader must face in 2025.If your classrooms are full, your team is in place, and your calendar is set but you're still feeling financial, mental, and emotional pressure you're not doing anything wrong. You're likely experiencing what Chanie calls survival success: a quiet, creeping strain that comes from hitting the ceiling of patchwork fixes and short-term wins.This conversation is about moving beyond band-aid growth and into strategic, sustainable school leadership, where predictable rhythms, financial clarity, and strong operational systems replace last-minute scrambles and constant firefighting.Whether you lead an early childhood center or a private school, these truths will challenge you to shift from short-term relief to long-term stability, without burning out yourself or your team.What You'll LearnThe difference between band-aid growth and strategic growth in school operationsWhy 2024 bought you time, but not long-term stabilityHow fear-based pricing undermines your school's financial healthWhy delayed investments act as invisible debt on your school leadershipHow predictable rhythms replace burnout-driven decision-makingThe mindset shift needed to lead with clarity instead of constant reactionKey Insights2024 Bought You Time, Not StabilityLast year's cost cuts, tuition increases, and hiring sprints were survival moves—not long-term solutions. Without predictable systems for tuition planning, role clarity, and expense strategy, the same cracks will reappear.Fear Isn't Frugal, It's ExpensiveAvoiding tuition increases because of last year's pushback keeps you stuck in fear-based pricing. Strategic pricing includes clear messaging, timing, and parent education—so your value drives your rates, not anxiety.Delayed Investments Create Invisible DebtPostponing hires, system upgrades, or automation drains time, energy, and capacity—even if your QuickBooks doesn't show it. Relief doesn't come from cutting support; it comes from building a team and systems you can trust.Try This Instead: From Band-Aid Growth to Strategic GrowthTuition Strategy: Build a review schedule for market positioning and messaging so increases are planned, not reactive.Hiring Pipeline: Create clear role definitions and accountability systems for every hire.Expense Efficiency: Review financials on a set schedule to guide decisions based on data, not panic.Operational Rhythms: Design rhythms you can return to when circumstances shift, because they always will.Memorable Quotes:“Survival success doesn't announce itself—it's a slow suffocation.”“You're not failing. You're outgrowing patchwork.”“Fear-based pricing will cost you far more than a rate increase ever will.”“Cash hoarding isn't leadership—delayed investments are invisible debt.”Why This Matters for School LeadersEnds the cycle of scrambling and short-term fixesBuilds school operations that support long-term sustainable growthReduces burnout and decision fatigue for leaders and teamsProtects your school culture from instability and fear-driven choicesPositions your school to adapt confidently in changing marketsResources & Next StepsWant to identify the hidden drains on your school's profit?

As the school year gains momentum, it's easy for school leaders to fall into survival mode—abandoning the very rhythms that anchor sustainable growth, effective school operations, and confident leadership. In this episode of the Schools of Excellence Podcast, Chanie Wilschanski breaks down the essential distinction between anchors and enhancers, and why understanding this difference is critical for school directors managing high-pressure seasons.If you're facing a surge in enrollment, onboarding new staff, or navigating leadership fatigue, this episode will help you identify the systems, habits, and non-negotiables that protect your energy and peace of mind. Because running a private school, preschool, or early childhood center shouldn't mean always putting out fires—it means leading with intentionality, clarity, and control.What You'll LearnThe difference between anchors and enhancers—and why both matter for sustainable school leadershipHow to identify the leadership habits that protect you from burnout, second-guessing, and resentmentThe hidden cost of abandoning your routines during busy seasonsWhy survival mode becomes the default when systems are missingA simple way to assess where your school needs operational focusKey Insights1. Anchors create stability during chaos Anchors are the daily habits that ground you emotionally and mentally. For overwhelmed directors, these aren't luxuries—they're leadership tools. Anchors may look like prayer, walking, journaling, or quiet reflection. When the pressure is high, these are the habits that keep you rooted and resilient.2. Enhancers elevate—but they don't stabilize Massages, time with friends, or a night out can be wonderful enhancers, but they can't replace the foundational habits that regulate your mindset and sustain your ability to lead. Enhancers help you feel good, but they don't create consistency.3. Abandoning anchors leads to burnout When school leaders drop their anchors in exchange for hustle, the cost is high. Leadership becomes reactive. Decision fatigue sets in. You feel stuck, anxious, and resentful. Rebuilding your rhythms later will require far more energy than simply preserving them now.4. Your anchors are unique to you Chanie shares her personal anchors—prayer, walking, and meditation—and encourages leaders to identify their own. The true test? If you still do it when you're sick, traveling, or exhausted, it's likely an anchor.5. Systems—not hustle—drive confident leadership Real school leadership isn't about working harder. It's about installing rhythms and school systems that do the heavy lifting. When you lead from systems, not from stress, you create time freedom, better team accountability, and long-term sustainability.Memorable Quotes"When you stop doing your anchors, survival becomes a habit—and it's harder to come back from." – Chanie Wilschanski "Anchors aren't nice-to-haves. They're lifelines." "Leadership is about alignment, not exhaustion."Try This: 3 Steps to Identify Your AnchorsStep 1: Look at your stress habits What do you continue doing when you're sick, overextended, or traveling? That's likely an anchor.Step 2: List your daily wellness practices Then separate anchors from enhancers. Anchors are essential and stabilizing. Enhancers are supportive, but optional.Step 3: Choose one anchor to protect this season Commit to it fully. That single action can create the clarity and consistency you need to lead well this fall.Why It Matters for School LeadersReduces burnout, resentment, and emotional exhaustion in high-pressure seasonsHelps you

From Burnout to Boundaries: Redefining Female Leadership in Private EducationIn this deeply honest and emotionally resonant episode, Chanie Wilschanski invites female school leaders into a transformative conversation about the “impossible standard” of leadership in education. She explores the emotional labor women carry, how over-functioning and people-pleasing lead to burnout, and why leading with warmth shouldn't come at the cost of boundaries or energy. Chanie offers practical strategies—and powerful mindset shifts—to help leaders reclaim their authority and redefine what it means to lead well.What You'll LearnThe impact of emotional exhaustion and over-functioning on female school leadersThe “double-bind” dilemma: being warm vs. being decisiveWhy noticing feels like a leadership burden—and how to distribute itHow rescuing becomes reactive leadership disguised as delegationThe importance of identity work, not just strategy, to break burnout cyclesHow to create rhythms, boundaries, and systems that protect your warmthSimple journaling prompts to rethink your leadership postureKey Insights1. Emotional Labor HurtsWomen in school leadership hold not only logistical responsibility but also the emotional pulse of the building—staff, parents, students. This leads to heightened emotional exhaustion compared to male counterparts.2. Warming Doesn't Mean WeaknessHormonal responses like “tend-and-befriend” push women to soothe and rescue rather than set boundaries and enforce standards. Warmth is powerful… until it becomes draining without structure.3. Rescue ≠ DelegationBringing in supplies or stepping in during a lesson might feel supportive—but if not shared, it's rescuing. True leadership distributes responsibility and builds capacity.4. “Noticing” Is the Hidden LoadYou see the trash that won't get emptied, the subtle shift in energy… and you carry it. That invisible “20%” needs leadership, not martyrdom. Build systems so teams learn to see.5. Boundaries Honor the MissionWarmth becomes weaponized when it's the only way you've learned to lead. When boundaries are in place, you're not being cold—you're protecting your mission from burnout.6. Identity Shifts MatterYour strategy is useless if your identity isn't aligned. If “rescue leader” stays in your identity, you'll recreate burnout cycles—even with perfect systems.Memorable Quotes“You were meant to build a school that holds you.” – Chanie Wilschanski“Excellence is built through rhythm, not martyrdom.” – Chanie WilschanskiWhy It Matters for School LeadersReclaim your authority and energyBuild team culture around shared responsibility, not dependencePrevent burnout through healthy boundaries and accountability systemsShift mental load so your presence enhances, not depletes, the communityResources & Lead MagnetExplore Leadership HQ coaching for ongoing support - schoolsofexcellence.com/consultSubscribe for future episodes on leadership rhythms, emotional clarity, and strategic systemsAbout Chanie Wilschanski & Schools of ExcellenceChanie Wilschanski leads Schools of Excellence with a passion for cultivating soulful, effective leadership through intentional rhythms.

Susan Richards-Benson, a 20-year PPC veteran and independent contractor, shares her experience with a devastating account suspension that cost her client tens of thousands in revenue during their busiest season—all due to client dishonesty.The Setup:Client: Indoor children's playground in FloridaTiming: Christmas period (peak season)Problem: Google Ads account suspended for "circumventing systems"The 2-Month Investigation:Google support only provided generic responsesTeam checked for malware, IP issues, site problemsDeveloper unavailable during holidaysClient increasingly frustrated as traffic plummetedKey Takeaways1. Client Transparency Works Both WaysAgencies aren't the only ones who can lack transparencyDishonest clients can create major problems for agenciesAlways verify client claims rather than taking their word2. Enhanced Onboarding ProcessRed flags to watch: Clients being "cagey" about previous data, refusing analytics access, claiming previous agencies won't release dataNew process: Screen share with clients to check existing accounts at ads.google.comDue diligence: Don't just ask—verify what accounts already exist3. Crisis Management Best PracticesDocument everything in writingFile support cases immediatelyDon't try to solve complex issues aloneStay accessible and communicate regularly with clientsBe transparent about what you're seeing on your end4. Industry Evolution Insights Then: Keyword stuffing, siloed thinking workedNow: Requires holistic approach across SEO, social, PPCKey mindset: Don't resist change—embrace it or leave the industry5. Healthy Approach to PPC MistakesMistakes are inevitable for everyone in PPCOwn up immediately and explain implicationsDon't let mistakes rattle your confidenceShare failures, not just successes, to help the community learnThe industry will humble big egos6. AI & Automation CautionsExample: P-Max with store visits has 5-7 day reporting lagBe careful with click-based conversions like "Get Directions"Don't blindly trust algorithm optimizationProfessional ImpactThis experience taught Susan to completely revamp her onboarding process and be more selective about clients who show transparency red flags. The relationship ultimately soured and ended, highlighting how client dishonesty can damage professional relationships beyond just the immediate technical problems.Bottom LineThe biggest lesson: Trust but verify. Even experienced PPC professionals can be blindsided by client dishonesty. Implementing thorough onboarding processes and maintaining detailed documentation can prevent similar disasters.00:00 Introduction to PPC Live Podcast00:49 Guest Introduction: Susan Richards-Benson02:19 Susan's Journey from Journalism to Paid Search03:48 The Evolution of Digital Marketing06:00 Fun Facts and Personal Interests06:58 The Big F-Up: A Client's Google Ads Suspension16:27 Lessons Learned and Advice for Marketers21:53 The Role of AI in PPC25:00 Conclusion and Upcoming EventsFind Susan on ⁠LinkedIn⁠Book a coaching call with ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Anu⁠⁠⁠⁠PPC Live The Podcast features weekly conversations with paid search experts sharing their experiences, challenges, and triumphs in the ever-changing digital marketing landscape.The next ⁠⁠PPC Live⁠⁠ event is on July 31stFollow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow us on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Twitter⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠WhatsApp Group⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Subscribe to our ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Newsletter⁠

The Shocking Truth About "Unexplained" Pregnancy LossWhat if I told you that up to 20% of recurrent pregnancy losses aren't actually unexplained—they're just undiagnosed?In this episode, I share the heartbreaking story of my patient who endured FOUR consecutive miscarriages. Every single test came back "normal"—chromosomes, hormones, anatomy—everything. Then we discovered her immune system was literally attacking her pregnancies.Hi! This is Dr. Aumatma Simmons, a licensed Naturopathic Doctor for 18 years with additional board certification in Naturopathic Endocrinology. I'm the creator of The Restorative Fertility Method and host of Egg Meets Sperm Podcast (a Top 5% podcast). As a 2x best-selling author of "Fertility Secrets" and "(in)Fertility: Struggles, Secrets, & Successes," I've been recognized with awards including Best Naturopathic Medicine Doctor (2015, 2020), Top Women in Medicine Doctor (2020, 2021), and Berkeley Hall of Fame (2022).I've been interviewed on 100+ podcasts and featured as the Holistic Fertility Expert on ABC, FOX, CBS, KTLA, MindBodyGreen, and The Bump.

I'm the founder of Madre Fertility and Medical Advisor for Mira Fertility, Element, and Feminade.The Game-Changing DiscoveryHere's what most doctors never tell you: Your immune system's job is to attack foreign invaders, but during pregnancy, it must learn to tolerate your baby (who is genetically half foreign to your body). When this delicate balance goes wrong, it can sabotage your pregnancies—not your ability to conceive, but your ability to maintain them.The 4 Hidden Immune SaboteursI reveal the four critical immune factors that could be destroying your pregnancies:Overactive Natural Killer Cells (found in 44% of "unexplained" losses)Autoimmune Antibodies (causing up to 90% loss rates when untreated)Immune System Imbalance (staying in "attack mode" instead of "protect mode")Gut-Immune Connection (70% of your immune system lives in your gut!)The Hope-Filled TruthHere's the incredible news: Women with immune-related pregnancy loss who receive proper treatment have a 70-80% live birth rate, compared to only 20% without treatment.My patient with four losses? After identifying her immune imbalances and treating them with targeted protocols, she went on to have TWO healthy pregnancies.What You'll LearnThe simple blood tests that could have caught this years earlierWhy standard pregnancy loss workups miss these factors entirelyBoth medical and natural treatment options that actually workThe exact questions to ask your doctor (don't leave empty-handed!)Red flags that suggest your immune system might be the culpritYour Next StepsIf you've experienced recurrent pregnancy loss—especially between 6-10 weeks with "normal" test results—this episode could change everything for you. Your immune system doesn't have to be your enemy; it can become your greatest ally in creating and maintaining a healthy pregnancy.Ready to get answers instead of more heartbreak?
