Why are organizations overlooking the mental health of their greatest assets? Political campaigns, much like other advocacy and caregiving professions, attract a certain type of person: hard-working, dedicated to the cause, and highly empathetic. Unfortunately, the willingness of this deep-feeling population to run themselves into the ground for the cause is all too often taken advantage of, and their wellbeing is consistently undersupported. In this episode, I speak with the founder of Mind the Movement, a non-profit that raises awareness for and develops mental health benefits for campaigns and other underserved initiatives. Ashley Williams shares her refreshingly practical take on what's missing and what's needed to help these essential organizers stay well and return to fight the good fight another day.Discover how organizers and employees alike can start prioritizing their mental health:The business argument for caring about the wellbeing of short-term staff;What a psychologically safe workplace looks like;The link between caring deeply and campaigning;How to manage the constant overwhelm that's become our new normal.Related Links:Connect with Ashley on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleycwilliams/ Follow Mind the Movement on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/company/mind-the-movement/ Follow Mind the Movement on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/mindthemovementfund/ Follow Mind the Movement on Substack - https://mindthemovement.substack.com/ 2024 Campaign Staff Mental Health Report - https://bit.ly/24MTM The Unmute Yourself Toolkit - https://mindthemovement.org/toolkit/ When We're In Charge by Amanda Litman - https://www.amandalitman.com/wwic Episode 518, How Millennial and Gen Z Leaders are Changing What it Means to be in Charge - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode518 Unfinished Business by Anne Marie Slaughter - https://bookshop.org/p/books/unfinished-business-women-men-work-family-anne-marie-slaughter/aa05ce9043ac07ad New America Think Tank - https://www.newamerica.org/ TAKE ACTION with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/takeactionHIRED: a job search accelerator video course - https://www.bossedup.org/gethired LEVEL UP: a leadership accelerator for current and aspiring women managers - https://www.bossedup.org/levelup Bossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/ Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

What if being the strong one is actually costing you more than you realize? In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean Meyers breaks down the hidden cost of always being the person everyone depends on. Being capable can become a trap. The more you can carry, the more you may start believing you should carry. Sean shares what he's learned about responsibility, isolation, vulnerability, asking for help, and creating relationships where you don't always have to have it all together. One message stands out: Strength was never supposed to mean isolation and doing it alone. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why being capable can become a trap How responsibility can lead to isolation Why asking for help isn't weakness Why you are more than what you produce How to recognize when you're carrying too much Why every leader needs people who truly know them How to lead for the long haul without carrying everything alone If you're a business owner, entrepreneur, or leader in Montgomery County looking to grow in business, leadership, health, relationships, and faith, come experience Level Up + Live as our guest.

Being booked out for months doesn't mean much if you finish the year with barely any money in the bank. In this episode, Keith shares the landscaping business lessons he learned through years of saying yes to too many jobs, driving too far for work, and grinding seven days a week without enough profit to show for it. He breaks down the journey from "Chuck in a Truck" to "Possibility Pete" to "Abundant Anthony"—moving from survival mode to a business with clear systems, predictable cash flow, and a better understanding of what to charge. Keith explains how narrowing his service area, becoming more selective about customers, and replacing low-profit jobs helped him change the way he ran his business. He also shares why checking your calendar before making commitments matters, especially when you're trying to protect time with your family. If you've been working hard for years and still feel stuck, Keith offers an honest look at how experienced contractors, coaching, and accountability can help you recognize the habits that are holding you back.   "You don't want everybody. You want the somebodies." – Keith Kalfas   What You'll Learn in This Episode: Why a full calendar doesn't always mean you're running a profitable business The difference between taking calculated risks and risking a customer's trust The three stages Keith describes in growing a small landscaping business Why marketing, administration, production, and sales all need your attention How shrinking your service area can reduce wasted travel time Why you should review pricing and capacity before committing to another job How to gradually replace low-profit work with better-fitting customers and projects Why family commitments and vacations need to be booked in advance How learning from experienced contractors can reveal habits that are costing you money How coaching can help you address accountability, pricing fears, and self-belief Key Takeaways: Build a business that leaves you with money after the work is done. More customers and more jobs can create more chaos if the work isn't profitable. Keith explains why you need to understand your costs, reduce unnecessary travel, and make better use of the limited space on your calendar. Become more selective as your business grows. Early on, you may need to take whatever work you can responsibly deliver. As your lead flow improves, you can raise prices on underpriced accounts, phase out work that no longer fits, and make room for jobs that support a healthier business. Experience helps most when you use it to change your decisions. Working harder year after year won't fix every problem. Keith shares how learning from other contractors and working with a coach helped him question old habits, follow through on changes, and recognize the fears influencing his business decisions.   Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  4 Steps to Training Employees: https://www.keithkalfas.com/4steps Build Your Site: https://www.keithkalfas.com/ReBolt Call Tracking Software: https://www.keithkalfas.com/CallRail Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

This week, we're joined by Hillary VanOrnum! Hillary is a third-degree black belt who runs Unicorn Jiu Jitsu in Portland, Oregon with her husband, and she just won her first Masters World Championship at black belt. In this episode, Hillary explains the difference between instructing and coaching, and how she uses questions to help students work out answers for themselves. Topics include: relating jiu-jitsu to sports students already know, building on each student's favorite techniques, letting go of control as a gym owner, turning Instagram clips into homework, and coaching students who only train twice a week.Train at Unicorn Jiu Jitsu in Portland, OR:https://unicornjiujitsu.comGet private lessons, online coaching, or coach mentorship with Hillary:https://unicornjiujitsu.com/page/PrivateLessonsFollow Hillary on Instagram:https://instagram.com/unicorn_jiujitsuFollow Unicorn Jiu Jitsu on Instagram:https://instagram.com/unicornjiujitsupdxFollow the Gathering of the Unicorns women's camp on Instagram:https://instagram.com/gathering_of_the_unicornsMental models discussed in this episode:Transfer of Learninghttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/transfer-of-learningTokui Wazahttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/tokui-wazaGrowth from Discomforthttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/growth-from-discomfortConstraints-Led Approachhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/constraints-led-approachFeedback Loophttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/feedback-loopEffortful Retrievalhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/effortful-retrievalPsychological Safetyhttps://bjjmentalmodels.com/psychological-safety⬆️ LEVEL UP with BJJ Mental Models Premium!The world's LARGEST library of jiu-jitsu audio lessons, our complete podcast network, online coaching, and much more!

Following Jesus sounds simple until He asks us to surrender the places where we want to stay in control. In this message, we'll look at what happens when Jesus' words challenge what we believe, how we live, and who we're becoming. Because following Jesus means letting Him form us, even when He says something we don't want to hear.

In today's episode, we get into the complexities of body image, and we are not holding back on the personal stuff. We share our own experiences navigating bad body image days and the practical tools that actually help, from mindset shifts and self-care to the role that external influences play in shaping how we feel about ourselves. This is an honest conversation that we think every woman needs to hear. We hope you enjoy the episode! Please leave a comment if you did!

Have you ever dreamed of starting your own business? Maybe you already have one and you're ready to grow—or perhaps someone you love is preparing to take the leap. Either way, this Level Up conversation could change the way you think about entrepreneurship.Lo sits down with Beth Mazza and Victoria Sivrais, serial entrepreneurs, business partners, mothers and co-founders of Female Mavericks. Together, they bootstrapped and scaled two professional consulting firms, Ashton Partners and Clermont Partners, before selling them to global acquirers for a combined enterprise value approaching $50 million. They accomplished it without venture capital, without an existing roadmap and while raising nine children between them.In this candid and refreshingly honest conversation, Beth and Victoria reveal what it really takes to turn a great idea into a profitable, sustainable business. They unpack the financial conversations every aspiring entrepreneur should have before taking the leap, including cash flow, sales, profitability, getting your partner's support and calculating the “freedom number” that can help you take a calculated risk without jeopardizing your life.The women also open up about motherhood, misogyny, self-advocacy and the difficult moments that tested them personally and professionally. Their story challenges the belief that women must choose between ambition and family—and proves that success doesn't require doing everything perfectly.Whether you're running a company, quietly sitting on an idea or supporting someone with an entrepreneurial dream, this episode offers hard-earned wisdom that could save you time, money and unnecessary heartache.Check out “Entrepreneur Like A Mother” Buy the book using code: MAVERICK10 https://femalemavericks.com/entrepreneur-like-a-mother/See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode 352: What does it actually look like to think like a leader—even when you're not the boss?In this episode, Vonda and Lori unpack the idea of “thinking one level above your current role” and what that looks like in the real world of flower shops and the floral industry.It's not necessarily about getting a new title or climbing a corporate ladder. Sometimes, moving up means becoming the person your team can count on—the one who spots a problem before it becomes a crisis, brings a possible solution instead of just pointing out what's wrong, and understands how their role affects the entire business.Vonda and Lori talk through practical ways to develop that mindset, including making decisions without escalating every little thing, knowing when to ask permission and when to take initiative, seeking out opportunities instead of waiting for them, and learning to see the bigger picture beyond your own job description.They also tackle the other side of the equation: owners and managers have to create enough trust and freedom for employees to actually step up.Whether you're an owner, manager, designer, salesperson, or aspiring leader, this conversation will challenge you to look beyond the tasks in front of you and ask:Am I simply doing my job—or am I already thinking at the next level?Sponsored by: Flower CliqueFlower Clique Prep SchoolReal Life Retail Florist

What if you don't actually have a time problem? What if you have a priority problem? In this episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, Sean Meyers breaks down why success often creates more options, responsibilities, and demands instead of the freedom we expected. As businesses grow, so do the meetings, opportunities, decisions, and people needing your attention. Without clear boundaries, you can build a business to create freedom and eventually become a prisoner to everything you've built. Sean shares what he's learned about protecting his time, saying no, creating boundaries, and making sure his calendar reflects what actually matters. One message stands out: What you say yes to is what you're saying no to. In this episode, you'll hear about: Why you may not need more time—you may need fewer priorities How growth can create more demands on your time Why every yes comes with a cost How your calendar reveals your true priorities Why unlimited availability isn't leadership The importance of boundaries for business owners and leaders How to protect your health, marriage, faith, and relationships Why leadership means developing people instead of solving every problem yourself How to create intentional alignment instead of chasing perfect balance A practical seven-day priority audit you can use immediately Ultimately, the goal isn't to fit more into your life. It's to make sure the things that matter most aren't getting whatever is left of you.

The life Jesus is forming in you was never meant to stop with you. In this message, we'll discover what it looks like to live with purpose right where God has placed us and become people who make a difference in the lives of those around us. Because we weren't just made to belong, we were made to matter.

I celebrated The X Club's 22nd anniversary on disco night with K on her first visit, showing off her outfit and jumping into a packed, high-energy party with limos and shuttles arriving nonstop. We talked about the club's renovations, including a newly opened dungeon, an added play space, and a much larger locker area, and K was thrilled to meet Mickey and Mallory from the Casual Swingers podcast and connect around a March Hedonism day pass. Later, we recapped an intense night of dancing, meeting people, and checking out the pool deck and the big windows overlooking the orgy room, where we watched everything from synchronized oral to group sex, a sex swing, showers, and the loft. K noted she saw fewer threesomes than expected, and I shared advice for single women to signal they're solo (like wearing a unicorn horn) *description written with the help of AI* Check out The X Club and Mermaid Lounge (Mississauga Canada) website: ⁠https://thexclub.net/⁠ Content mentioned in this episode: 1.

We like to say around these parts that coaching matters more in football than any other sport. (And it matters a lot in every sport.) Today's show with Dave Biddle and Patrick Murphy takes a close look at Ohio State's coaching staff, including first-year offensive coordinator Arthur Smith, second-year DC Matt Patricia and eighth-year head coach Ryan Day. Patrick thinks Day is getting too much flak after the Texas lossand explains why. Dave thinks a lot of the criticism is fair, but also believes Day can right the ship. That and much more is coming your way on the Wednesday 5ish. (2:00) - Intro (2:55) - Thoughts on Arthur Smith thus far (5:40) - Matt Patricia not being aggressive enough (11:27) - Pat defends Ryan Day; Dave pushes back (20:32) - Why say it's going to be a 4th-quarter game? (23:42) - Day's clock management is poor (30:00) - Good news on injury front

⁠Download PDF of episode transcript⁠What does it look like when a major foundation decides that a crisis calls for more than business as usual? Bold but smart!This episode offers amazing insights and inspiration from Brenda Solórzano, President and CEO of The California Endowment. Brenda shares about how philanthropy can respond when nonprofits face rising demand, shrinking resources, and mounting pressure. She discusses how The California Endowment decided to substantially increase its spending, eliminate grantee reporting requirements, accelerate resource flows, and experiment! She explains why the Endowment signed the Level Up pledge and how it's spending the additional funds.For funders and nonprofit leaders alike, this conversation offers practical ideas for moving from risk-aversion toward responsive partnership. Solórzano discusses what it takes to build trust between foundations and nonprofits; why multi-year funding alone isn't enough; how funders can create relationships where grantees feel safe talking honestly about burnout; and why philanthropy may need to rethink payout. perpetuity, and the business model of foundations. She also makes the case that, rather than simply trying to preserve existing systems, funders can help communities build what comes next.For a Guest Bio, please click here: https://candid.org/authors/brenda-solorzano/ Key Links to Resources:Featured Guest & Institution Links:The California Endowment: https://www.calendow.orgThe California Endowment: Increased Spending: https://www.calendow.org/tce-board-approves-increased-spending/ Level Up & CHANGE Philanthropy Links:Level Up Campaign: https://levelupphilanthropy.org/CHANGE Philanthropy: https://changephilanthropy.orgCHANGE Philanthropy / Our Work: https://changephilanthropy.org/elementor-397/Trust-Based Philanthropy Links:The California Endowment's Go!

What if the best way to keep AI from taking your job is to make it work for you? The public has a lot of hot takes on AI, especially as it impacts women. It's a source of unlimited potential or the destruction of work as we know it. We need to be embracing it wholeheartedly or avoiding it at all costs. As usually, the levelheaded answers to these questions fall somewhere in the middle. In this episode, communications pro Shira Fine joins me to share her experience implementing AI into her business and her take on how we can do the same without overshadowing our expertise or erasing our jobs.Start leveraging AI without selling your soul to Big Tech:How to make the chatbot work for you without training it on your data;The erroneous assumptions we make when we let AI intimidate us;Why it isn't cheating to use AI for your repeatable tasks;The promise and limitations of this ever-evolving technology.Related Links:Connect with Shira on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/shirafine/ Find out more about Shira's firm, Bryson Gillette - https://www.brysongillette.com Episode 540, “The Double Disadvantage: AI, Women, and the Future of Work” - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode540 Episode 542, “Why AI is Giving Women the Ick” - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode542 Episode 546, “The Hidden Force Keeping Women From Using AI” - https://www.bossedup.org/podcast/episode546 LEVEL UP with Bossed Up - https://www.bossedup.org/levelupBossed Up Courage Community - https://www.facebook.com/groups/927776673968737/ Bossed Up LinkedIn Group - https://www.linkedin.com/groups/7071888/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

In this episode, Keith sits down with Jeff Michaels, founder of Pondering Waters, to unpack the lessons Jeff has learned over 28 years in the pond and water-feature industry. Jeff shares how a backyard hobby turned into a full-time business after he was laid off from the automotive industry. He explains why ponds can become high-ticket projects with valuable recurring revenue, how collaboration helped him take on larger builds across the country, and why some of his toughest jobs became his best learning experiences. Keith and Jeff also discuss pricing jobs correctly, listening for a customer's real pain points, setting expectations before work begins, using Jobber to organize operations, and hiring people who can handle the parts of the business that fall outside their strengths.   "Sometimes problems are blessings because if you don't run into these problems, you'll never know how to fix them." – Jeff Michaels   What You'll Learn in This Episode: How Jeff turned a backyard hobby into a 28-year pond business Why getting laid off gave Jeff the push he needed to work for himself How pond installations can add a high-ticket service to a landscaping business Why maintenance, cleanouts, and winterization create recurring revenue How collaboration helps contractors take on larger and more complex projects Why mistakes and difficult jobs can become valuable learning experiences How Jobber simplified Jeff's quoting, scheduling, routing, and customer management Why listening to a customer's pain points is more effective than constantly selling How setting expectations and boundaries prevents problems during a project Why hiring specialists allows business owners to focus on what they do best Key Takeaways: Problems can become some of your most valuable business lessons. Unexpected challenges are frustrating, but they also teach you how to handle situations that no course or manual can fully prepare you for. Every difficult project gives you experience that can help you approach the next one with greater confidence. Recurring service can be more valuable than the original project. Jeff once spent a month completing a large pond project and only broke even. However, that customer continued hiring him for annual cleanouts, startups, and winterization services, showing how a long-term relationship can eventually become more valuable than the initial installation. Listen for the customer's pain before trying to make the sale. Contractors often focus so much on explaining and selling that they miss the real reason the customer wants the work done. Asking the right questions and allowing customers to talk helps uncover their pain points, establish trust, and make the sale more naturally.   Connect with Jeff Youtube: @PonderingWaters Website: ponderingwaters.com Connect with Keith Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/keithkalfas/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/thelandscapingemployeetrap Website: https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@keith-kalfas   Resources and Websites:  Build Your Site: https://www.keithkalfas.com/ReBolt Call Tracking Software: https://www.keithkalfas.com/CallRail Start Getting Leads Now https://www.footbridgemedia.com/keith The Untrapped Alliance: https://www.keithkalfas.com/alliance Resources You Need To Build A Successful Business https://www.keithkalfas.com/resources

This week, we're joined by Rob Cole! Rob has been training martial arts for over 35 years, 25 of them focused on grappling, and he coaches at Ascension Athletics in Connecticut, where he runs his practice through the ecological dynamics framework. In this episode, Rob explains the intention-led approach, where you give students a goal to work toward instead of specific things to focus on. Topics include: a plain-language primer on ecological dynamics, intention versus attention, win conditions as a driver of behavior, grip fighting as a warm-up, teaching leglocks without fear.Follow Rob on Instagram:https://instagram.com/liquid_robTrain with Rob at Ascension Athletics:https://ascensionathleticsct.comResources discussed in this episode:The Constraints-Led Approach, by Ian Renshaw, Keith Davids, Daniel Newcombe and Will Roberts:https://routledge.com/9781138104075Ecological Dynamics in Sport Coaching, by Steve M.

What if the life you're chasing isn't actually the life Jesus calls blessed? In the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus turns our expectations upside down and challenges the way we measure success, happiness, and fulfillment. His words invite us to stop looking at life through the world's scoreboard and start seeing it through the eyes of the Kingdom. Because sometimes what looks like losing is actually where true blessing begins.

On this episode of Daily Creative, we explore the practical side of pursuing creative passions and scaling expertise. Starting with the lesser-told procedural journey of Julia Child—from first spark to eventual mastery—we examine what happens after finding your calling: the grind, the setbacks, and the systems that turn inspiration into legacy.We sit down with Ravi Gupta, author of The Invisible List, who reveals the invisible debts we accumulate with every passion left unpursued, and offers his fiercely singular approach to making real progress—one passion, one year at a time. Then, Amanda Northcutt joins us to unpack what happens when experts want to scale their impact, and why infrastructure, not just ideas, separates those who build thriving knowledge businesses from those who quickly burn out.Whether you're looking to resurrect a personal dream or codify your expertise for others, this episode is an unvarnished reminder: focus, finish, then build the container that lets your work reach who it needs to.Discussed In This Episode:Ravi Gupta's new book: The Invisible ListYear-as-unit approach to creative growth and skill developmentAmanda Northcutt's work at Level Up helping experts become CEOs of their own scalable businessesUseful frameworks for mapping and sequencing personal or professional projectsFive Key Learnings From The EpisodeThe unit of a year is optimal for transformation. Meaningful progress—from beginner to intermediate—in almost any domain is possible within a year if you are intentional and systematic about your approach. Annual themes give structure, promote memory, and keep the clock ticking productively.Pick one passion, not five. Spreading your energy across multiple projects guarantees only dabbling. Focus on a single pursuit allows for depth, completion, and a rewarding “bow” (milestone or output) at the end of your creative year.Design ambitions for your reality. Ambitions must fit your current resources and season—whether you're newly retired or a parent with 30 minutes a day. Tag your passions by what's realistic now versus later, and don't set yourself up for unnecessary frustration by overlooking context.Accomplices matter, but only after you've created something real. Peer groups, mentors, and supportive communities can accelerate growth and motivation. However, their participation is only meaningful when you've produced work or a container others can engage with or advocate for.Codification and infrastructure separate practitioners from entrepreneurs. As Amanda Northcutt notes, knowledge businesses thrive when their methodology is externalized, productized, and supported by systems—not when everything rides on an individual's network or bandwidth. Reach is less important than resonance and structural clarity.Bring Todd Henry to speak to your team or event at ToddHenry.com/speakingSee Todd Henry's books at ToddHenry.com/booksGet full interviews and bonus content for free!

What if everything you've been told about getting ahead financially isn't actually true? In this Level Up episode, Lo sits down with historian, investor and bestselling author Dr. Joseph S. Moore, whose book How to Get Rich in American History: 300 Years of Financial Advice That Worked (& Didn't) looks at what centuries of American history can teach us about building wealth today. They unpack why buying a home isn't always the smartest investment, what the ultra-wealthy understand about money that the rest of us often don't, why women may actually be better investors, and the surprising story of a First Lady whose financial moves deserve a place in the history books.Lo and Joseph come to the table with very different views on capitalism, inequality and the economy, but what starts as a conversation between two opposing perspectives becomes something much more interesting. From crypto and get-rich-quick schemes to the American Dream, economic anxiety and the cycles America has survived before, this episode asks whether looking backward might actually be the secret to moving forward. Turns out you can disagree about capitalism, learn a few things from each other…and somehow leave as friends.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

This week, Lo is pressing pause on the Level Up series for a much-needed catch-up with you. He's going solo to unpack a date that requires the Lo Lifers to be his collective voice of reason, an internet rabbit hole he can't stop thinking about, and his adventures at Daisy Chain Music Festival with Olivia Rodrigo, Stevie Nicks and, somehow… diapers. There's a lot to discuss.Lo also unpacks the loss of Dolly Parton impacting millions around the world and why saying goodbye to this particular icon hit much closer to home than he expected. Dolly always reminded Lo of his Nana, his very own Mexican Dolly Parton, and losing her brought back a wave of grief and memories he wasn't prepared for. It's a celebration of Dolly's extraordinary life, wit, generosity and global impact, but also a conversation about the people who remind us of home and why losing someone can make us miss someone else all over again. Come for the dating debrief and diapers, stay for Dolly. Buckle up, puta… we have a lot to catch up on.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
