Podcasts about long game

Today we talk about how parent reactivity, historical family patterns, and systemic overwhelm inadvertently trap families in cyclical power struggles. Emily Kircher-Morris welcomes Diane Dempster, a professional coach, author, and co-founder of ImpactParents, to talk about how urgency often drives parents out of an objective problem-solving mindset, and toward reactionary behaviors that over-manage their kids, rather than supporting their neurological growth. They talk about the family as an interdependent system, and about how interpersonal traps of the traditional drama triangle can cause family members to cycle through the roles of villain, victim, and rescuer. They also discuss the ImpactParents framework, which categorizes parenting modalities into four intentional roles: director, collaborator, supporter, and champion. By learning these roles, parents can safely allow productive struggle while maintaining connection. TAKEAWAYS Responses to acute childhood dysregulation are often heavily influenced by an internalized fear of the future, childhood parenting histories, and secondary social pressures. Executive functioning challenges can often be lessened by a clear shift from top-down behavior modification rules to collaborative family agreements. Effective parent scaffolding can be structured across four situational modalities: the director, the collaborator, the supporter, and the champion. The upcoming CE training Emily talks about on this week's episode features Dr. Christopher Willard, and is titled, "The New 3 R's: Mindfulness-Based Resilience, Regulation, and Relationships." The training is live online Friday, July 10 from 2:00 to 3:30 pm Eastern, and is approved for 1.5 APA and NBCC continuing education hours.

Have you ever looked at your life and wondered why, after all the effort, nothing seems different? You keep showing up, doing the things you're supposed to do, waiting for some sign that it's working. But what if the most important changes don't arrive with a big moment? What if they're happening quietly, somewhere just outside your view? This week, we're talking about patience, progress, and the strange way growth likes to hide. Join me as we Calm it Down in 3...2...1.

Worship leader and pastor Tauren Wells sits down with Pastor Bobby for a raw, honest conversation on calling, character, and the long game of faith. They talk about growing up in dysfunction, breaking generational patterns through Jesus, using church for healing instead of numbing, discerning your purpose through “design, desire, and dread,” and staying humble and grounded while balancing ministry, music, and family.

We are delighted to welcome another icon in our industry as today's guest. Bob Vaez, Founder and CEO of EventMobi, is a true entrepreneur, and his company is widely recognized throughout the events industry. Stay tuned as Bob shares his entrepreneurial journey and the lessons he learned building a business through multiple periods of disruption. He also offers practical advice for business owners looking to compete with larger organizations while creating meaningful experiences for customers and attendees. Bob's Entrepreneurial Journey After studying computer engineering, Bob spent nearly a decade in chip design, including a role at NVIDIA. Although he enjoyed the people and innovation, he wanted to build something of his own. A simple question—why conference information wasn't available on a mobile device—led him to create EventMobi. What began as a side project quickly evolved into an international business serving customers across North America and Europe. Launching EventMobi Bob launched EventMobi during a recession, when organizations were looking for ways to reduce costs, improve attendee experiences, create new sponsorship opportunities, and reduce waste. At the same time, mobile technology and cloud software were gaining momentum. He believes periods of disruption often create opportunities for businesses that solve real problems. Sponsorship Sponsorship has evolved from simple logo placement and brand visibility to more targeted and meaningful engagement. Bob explains that organizers can create greater value by helping sponsors connect with specific audience segments and offering sponsorship opportunities that align with attendees' interests and needs. Shared Experiences Sponsors often bring valuable expertise to an industry. Bob believes organizers can create stronger experiences by involving sponsors in educational content, especially when sponsors and customers connect through real-world experiences. That approach benefits attendees while helping sponsors build credibility and relationships. Relationships Strong business relationships are seldom built on a trade show floor. Bob explains that shared experiences, activities, and informal conversations often foster deeper trust and stronger long-term connections than brief meetings at a trade show booth. Genuine Innovation Many attendees visit exhibitors to learn what's new. They are looking for new ideas, products, services, and approaches to take back to their organizations. Bob encourages exhibitors to focus on showcasing genuine innovation rather than simply increasing visibility. Engaging Events Bob believes engagement increases when attendees become active participants rather than passive listeners. Attendees want more than information. They want opportunities to ask questions, share ideas, participate in discussions, and connect with other people. Face-to-Face Experiences As AI generates more content and information becomes easier to access, live events offer something different: authentic conversations, trusted expertise, and direct interaction with other people. These experiences create stronger memories and greater long-term value for attendees. AI Bob sees AI as an opportunity to reduce administrative work and free up time for more meaningful activities. Instead of spending hours on repetitive tasks, planners can invest more time in working with speakers, sponsors, vendors, and attendees to create better event experiences. Smaller Businesses AI is helping smaller businesses access capabilities that once required large teams. Bob recommends focusing on the specific tasks that consume the most time or create the most frustration. By solving those challenges first, small businesses can operate more efficiently and make better use of their resources. Powerful Small Agencies While larger organizations often rely on established processes, smaller agencies can stand out through their insight, creativity, and perspective. Bob believes that an agency's unique understanding of its clients and its ability to create distinctive experiences can be a powerful competitive advantage.

In this episode of On The Mark, host Mark Immelman is joined by South African golf instructor Rick Currin, who teaches in Malaysia and specializes in making golf simpler, more playable, and easier to improve. Rick brings a biomechanics and sports science background to his coaching, but his message is refreshingly practical: stop overcomplicating the game, manage the course smarter, and build a swing and short game that help you avoid big numbers. Mark and Rick walk through a “mini boot camp” for your whole game—course management, driver setup, iron play, pitching, bunker shots, lag putting, and short putts—with one clear goal: help golfers score better by making better decisions and executing simpler shots. In This Episode, You'll Learn: ✅ Why avoiding double bogeys is one of the fastest ways to lower scores ✅ How to manage a golf course by playing to your strengths—not your ego ✅ Why “boring golf” can be the smartest path to better scores ✅ How better posture and setup can help you drive the ball more consistently ✅ Why irons should be treated like precision clubs, not power clubs  ✅ A simple pitching key: narrow stance, toe down, rhythm, and less tension ✅ The bunker-shot mindset: speed and trust ✅ Why lag putting is an overlooked scoring skill—and how to practice it better, and ✅ How to improve short putts with a simple, repeatable routine. Key Themes: Golf Made Simple - Rick's coaching philosophy is built around cutting through overload. Instead of chasing every tip, golfers need simple, repeatable ideas they can actually use on the course. Course Management Saves Shots - You do not always need driver off the tee. Sometimes a 6-iron in play, followed by another smart shot, creates a better scoring opportunity than forcing driver into trouble.  Discipline Starts Before the Swing - Rick emphasizes discipline in the pre-shot routine and decision-making. Poor choices often begin before the club ever moves. Athletic Setup Matters - Better driving starts with posture, balance, and body readiness. Rick explains how rounded posture and tension can limit rotation and make it harder to square the face. Precision Over Power With irons and wedges - Rick encourages golfers to take an extra club, make a controlled swing, and focus on solid contact and dispersion—not maximum distance. Short Game Variety Wins - You do not always have to fly the ball to the hole. Rick prefers using the contours of the course, bump-and-run options, and different clubs around the green when the shot allows it.

The most influential poster in the history of art was an ad for a play. It was designed by a broke, unknown illustrator who only got the job because he was the one stuck working over the holidays. His name was Alphonse Mucha, and that single commission — a rush job nobody else wanted — turned him into the father of Art Nouveau. He didn't sit in a studio and find his direction. A customer handed it to him. Want to join Patrick for a live webinar? He hosts one every Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. Register here: asf.today/webinar That's the heart of this episode: a commission isn't a compromise. It's an idea-generation machine. A client drags you somewhere you'd never have chosen on your own — and every so often, that detour becomes your entire career. It happened to Mucha. It happened to a portrait painter named George Stubbs who took a few horse commissions and ended up the greatest equine painter who ever lived. It happened to a studio photographer named Dorothea Lange the day a government assignment sent her into the migrant camps. But before we get to the good news, we have to clear out the lies. The longer you spend in this business, the more you realize the "sacred truths" of the art world are mostly nonsense — and most of them are really just hobbyist rules wearing a business suit. (If you've heard me draw the hobbyist-vs-business line before, this is where it earns its keep — same line that runs under The Long Game.) In this episode: The Christmas shift that invented Art Nouveau — how Mucha got the job nobody wanted and never looked back Six "sacred truths" of the art business that are complete nonsense — and the one thing wrong with every single one of them "You need a niche before you can start" — why you don't pick your niche; the work reveals it "Good art sells itself" — the $128 of thrift-store junk that resold for $3,612 on stories alone, a $3.5M violin that earned $32 in a subway, and the painter who went from unsold to $2.5 million without changing a brushstroke "Never discount your work" — why that rule is real, why it isn't yours, and what the galleries who preach it actually do behind closed doors The line in the sand: hobby or business? Drucker said a business has exactly one purpose — to create a customer — and in that equation, you don't get the last word. The market does. "Nobody bought it, so I'm a failure" — the lie that makes good artists quit, and why Picasso died holding roughly 45,000 of his own unsold works Why constraints beat the blank canvas — Stravinsky, and the bet that produced Green Eggs and Ham in 50 words The honest catch: when a commission becomes a cage instead of a doorway, and how to tell the difference This week's homework: take the one commission you'd normally turn down — the weird request, the subject you'd never choose, the client who wants something slightly off from your usual. Say yes to it. Then watch where it drags you. Reply or DM me what you learned — I read every single one. Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the storefront engine for working artists The Mucha Foundation — the Gismonda poster and the birth of Art Nouveau Significant Objects — the experiment that turned $128 of junk into $3,612 with nothing but stories Pearls Before Breakfast — the Washington Post's Pulitzer-winning Joshua Bell subway story Freakonomics: The Hidden Side of the Art Market — how art is really priced (and why prices "only go up") Related episodes: The Gallery Test — Should Artists List Prices on Their Website? The Long Game — Why Your Website Will Still Be Working in 2055 POD and Samples — What Wyland and Gray Malin Actually Do 20 Ways to Grow Your Email List as an Artist — hobbyist or business, the honest cut So here's the takeaway. If you're a hobbyist, make whatever you want, forever, and be happy — there's no shame in it. But if you want a business, stop waiting for the market to reward your purity, because it never will. Go meet it. Say yes to the commission, the weird job, the thing you'd never have chosen — because that yes creates a customer, which is the only thing that makes you a business, and it just might drag you, like it dragged Mucha off that holiday shift, straight into the work you were put here to make.

Episode 227 of The Adventure Podcast features wildlife camera operator and television presenter, Declan Burley. Declan grew up in Luton, dyslexic and working on building sites. Nobody around him went into the arts and no one really knew what a wildlife camera operator was. In this episode, Declan talks to Matt about the long road to where he is now: three months in the Amazon at 23 that changed everything, years of being flat broke, and a cancer diagnosis in his late twenties. He explains what camera trapping actually involves, and what it was like to work across six critically endangered species for The Wild Ones, from snare-riddled jungle in Malaysia to mine-field leopards on the Armenia-Azerbaijan border. They also cover the class divide in British wildlife television, what slowing down teaches you about the natural world, and whether conservation storytelling can actually change anything - or whether it's just preaching to the converted.For extra insights from the worlds of adventure, exploration and the natural world, you can find The Adventure Podcast+ community on Substack.

He is the author of several influential books, including High-Profit Prospecting, High-Profit Selling, and A Mind for Sales, and is widely recognized for his practical insights on prospecting, mindset, and building trust-based sales relationships that drive long-term business success.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome renowned sales expert, author, and keynote speaker Mark Hunter, known around the world as "The Sales Hunter," to discuss his latest book, Integrity First Selling: How to Create Better Sales with Better Customers.Mark challenges conventional sales thinking by reminding listeners that sales is not about moving products—it's about serving people. He explains why the most successful sales professionals focus on helping buyers achieve outcomes they never thought possible rather than simply chasing quotas, commissions, or quarter-end numbers.The conversation explores what it truly means to put integrity first in sales, including aligning with the buyer's journey, building trust through transparency, and playing the long game even when short-term pressure tempts salespeople to do otherwise. Mark also shares practical insights on prospecting, pipeline development, leadership, accountability, and why many organizations mistakenly create the very buying behaviors they complain about.In a marketplace increasingly crowded by AI-generated noise and transactional selling, Mark makes the case that trust, authenticity, and consistency remain the most valuable competitive advantages a salesperson can possess.This episode is a powerful reminder that sales done with integrity doesn't just create better customers—it creates better careers, stronger relationships, and lasting success.KEY TAKEAWAYSSales is fundamentally about serving people, not selling products.Integrity-first selling requires joining the buyer's journey rather than forcing your own agenda.Long-term trust always outperforms short-term sales tactics.End-of-quarter discounting often trains customers to delay purchasing decisions.Healthy pipelines eliminate desperation and create better customer experiences.Sales leaders should focus on creating opportunities, not simply closing deals.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSales is serving people. It's not selling stuff. The products we sell are simply the medium we use to help people.Closing without integrity creates revenue today and regret tomorrow.The easy sale isn't the one you get. It's the one you deserve.Desperation at the end of the quarter is usually the result of poor pipeline discipline at the beginning of the quarter.Being the same person at work and at home makes life simpler and sales more effective.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

In this exclusive UnHerd interview Freddie Sayers meets Jake Sullivan, former National Security Advisor under Joe Biden and chief negotiator during the 2015 Iran nuclear deal. Jake Sullivan co-hosts the weekly national security podcast ‘The Long Game' with Jon Finer, former deputy national security advisor under Sullivan.Freddie and Jake analyse the geopolitical and financial implications of the Trump administration's memorandum of understanding with Iran. Could the concessions of the agreement that suspended the conflict to reopen the Strait of Hormuz in exchange for an unprecedented financial windfall of unfrozen assets, waived oil sanctions, and a controversial $300 billion reconstruction fund mark a significant diplomatic surrender? Or is this another example of the 'art of the deal'?

This episode is brought to you by Your Clockwise Week—a personalized weekly structure built around your actual life, not an ideal one. If your week feels full but not fitting, you can learn more at mikevardy.com/yourclockwiseweek.We spend a lot of time talking about how to do more. What we talk about far less — and what might matter far more — is the question of how to pace yourself while you do it. Not as a wellness concept or a vague self-care suggestion, but as a genuine strategy for sustaining quality, avoiding collapse, and staying aligned with what actually matters to you over time.Elizabeth Svoboda is the author of The Art of Pacing: A Guide to Balancing Shorter-Term Demands with Long-Term Thriving, and this conversation covers a lot of ground in the best possible way. Elizabeth is a science journalist whose work has appeared in the New York Times, Psychology Today, and many other publications. Her book grew out of a thirty-year reckoning with her own pacing failures — a culture of maximum output with no equivalent emphasis on what you leave to the side. What she built from that is something both research-grounded and deeply practical.Six Discussion PointsPacing without purpose is just slowing down — knowing where you're headed is what makes a deliberate pace possible at all, and this is where most productivity advice quietly falls apartThe difference between racing and pacing is a single letter, but the difference in outcomes compounds over years — top athletes understand this through tapering, and the rest of us are still catching upBurnout is not an event, it's a trajectory — heart rate variability (HRV) tracking and tools like the Maslach Burnout Inventory can help you see the train coming before it hits, shifting you from reactive to proactiveRigid, hyper-granular scheduling is brittle by design — adaptability and flexibility aren't the enemies of structure, they're the only way a structure survives contact with real life"Restorying" — the hero's journey applied inward — is a surprisingly useful alignment tool: when what you say you want doesn't match how you're spending your time, the story reveals itBrief candles, those short moments of focused, selfless attention toward others, can change the entire arc of someone's life and cost almost nothing in terms of time or energyThree Connection PointsElizabeth Svoboda's website: elizabethsvoboda.com — find her book The Art of Pacing and her broader journalism workTimeCrafting: The connection between pacing and intentional time use is at the heart of my own framework — if this episode resonated, you might find this useful: Stop Managing Your Time. Start Crafting It.The Lantern: My weekly newsletter is where I continue these kinds of conversations outside the podcast — join here at mikevardy.comPacing is not the opposite of progress. If this conversation shifted anything for you — even a small recognition that you might be racing when you could be pacing — I'd encourage you to sit with that for a bit before doing anything about it. That's the point. And if you want to go deeper, Elizabeth's book is worth the time.If this episode resonated, I'm exploring ideas like these more deeply in my upcoming book, Productiveness. You can follow along as it takes shape at mikevardy.com/productiveness.

Back again! This week on the show, the guys welcome Democratic U.S. Senate candidate Julian Beaudion for a wide-ranging conversation on his challenge to Senator Mike Rounds, the state of Democratic politics in South Dakota, education policy, Social Security, data centers, tribal consultation, and whether there's an opening for a different kind of leadership in Washington. We get into voter frustration, campaign strategy, and what it takes to compete statewide in one of the reddest states in the country.Plus, government reform advocate Joe Kirby returns to make the case for ranked-choice voting, open primaries, and ending expensive runoff elections. The crew debates election reform, turnout, and whether South Dakota is ready for a different system. And of course, they hit the Travis Ismay felony controversy, the latest twists in the Sioux Falls mayoral race, Don Jorgensen's surprise endorsement, and Joe's annual attempt to move the state capital out of Pierre.@DakotaTownHall@Jakeshoenbeck@MurdocJ Hosted on Acast.

Yesterday, the US and Iran signed a memorandum of understanding starting the clock on a 60-day truce. The agreement intends to halt attacks, begin lifting the US naval blockade, and restore commercial traffic through the Strait of Hormuz. But deep uncertainty remains over how energy will actually flow through the waterway—and over the ultimate fate of Iran's nuclear program. Add to this, an increasingly tense relationship between the US and Israel, which has said it does not consider itself bound by the MOU. And here in the US, political pressure could quickly shift Washington's calculations if the reopening of the Strait yields minimal strategic concessions on Iran's ballistic missiles, nuclear enrichment, and regional proxy networks. So what happens next? How will global energy markets and regional security adjust if this temporary truce collapses? Who ultimately holds the leverage in this next phase of the crisis? To address those and other questions about the ceasefire and the intersection of national and energy security, two people who recently sat at the very center of US foreign policy — Jake Sullivan and Jon Finer — joined Jason Bordoff for a special episode of Columbia Energy Exchange. Jake served as National Security Advisor during the Biden Administration, where he was the chief architect of the 2022 National Security Strategy, coordinated the global response to Russia's invasion of Ukraine, and designed the "small yard, high fence" framework for US-China technology competition. Last year he joined the Harvard Kennedy School as the Kissinger professor of the practice of statecraft and world order. Jon served alongside him as Deputy National Security Advisor, bringing decades of experience in high-stakes diplomacy, crisis management, and international law to the highest levels of government. Jon held a number of roles in the Obama administration, including chief of staff to Secretary of State John Kerry. And he's a former distinguished visiting fellow at CGEP. They are also the hosts of "The Long Game," an essential podcast for anyone trying to make sense of foreign policy and national security in our world today.  Credits: Hosted by Jason Bordoff and Bill Loveless.

Almost every shop owner I talk to wants to grow. Far fewer build something that can survive a real downturn. That's the thread running through my whole conversation with Chris Welch of Swissomation, and it's why I wanted him on after we met at Machining on the Summit. Chris runs a high-mix Swiss machining operation, two locations and around 120 spindles, and just about everything he does comes back to one idea: build a business durable enough to ride out whatever the market does next. We get into the moves that kept him standing when other shops folded. The 2001 telecom crash nearly took him out, and he came out of it refusing to let any single customer pass 20% of sales. He advertises hardest when he's slammed, which is why he was up 35% in 2009 while friends were calling him looking for work. He buys used machines with cash, adds his own live tooling and indexing, and stays out of debt so he never has to lay anyone off. In 29 years, he hasn't. Chris is a systems guy too. We talk through his sales-based bonus program and why he steers clear of profit-sharing, the twice-daily blueprint checks that make quality everyone's job, the quarantine-and-lot-ticket process running on an ERP he wrote himself, and how a fleet that size lets him slip short-run tech jobs in between the longer ones. He doesn't dodge the hard parts either: the Google AdWords money pit, the rough jump from owner to CEO, the training program he admits he's behind on. If one line sums up the episode, it's how Chris describes the shops that don't make it: everybody wants to milk the cow, nobody wants to feed it. Watch your debt, save your money, invest in your people, find your niche. Coming from someone who's lived all four, it's worth the hour.

What does it take to keep a product healthy after more than 15 years of continuous evolution? In this episode, Robby Russell talks with Chris Coyier, co-founder of CodePen, about the long game of maintaining software. Chris shares how CodePen has evolved over time, the trade-offs involved in migrating parts of the platform from Rails to Go, and the challenges of balancing maintenance work with the desire to build what's next. They also explore the human side of maintainability, the role of technical debt in shaping priorities, and why small teams often have to make very intentional decisions about where to invest their limited time and attention. Whether you're maintaining a side project, stewarding a legacy application, or helping a team navigate change, this conversation offers practical insights into building software that lasts. Key Topics Defining what "well-maintained software" really means Why maintainability is often more of a people problem than a code problem The origin story of CodePen Supporting a product that has evolved over 15 years Balancing maintenance work with product evolution Gradually migrating from Rails to Go Using GraphQL across multiple implementations Technical debt and its many interpretations Team size, communication overhead, and organizational design Simplifying software by embracing browser capabilities Links & Resources ChrisCoyier.net Chris Coyier on Bluesky CodePen ShopTalk Show CSS-Tricks Book Recommendation Understanding Comics: The Invisible Art (Goodreads) by Scott McCloud Thanks to Our Sponsors!

Dr. T and Truth Fairy welcome clinical psychologist Dr. Bianca Sebben, whose work bridges complex trauma, dissociative disorders, Indigenous psychology, psychedelic integration, and eco-soul-centric approaches to healing. Drawing from her experience working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples, as well as her research into traditional medicines and cultural safety, Bianca explores what it means to reconnect with humanity's deeper relationship to the Earth. Together, they discuss ecological grief, soul, belonging, and the importance of understanding ourselves as part of a larger living system rather than isolated individuals.   The conversation examines the intersection of trauma, dissociation, and psychedelic healing through a developmental and relational lens. Bianca challenges the growing tendency to frame psychedelic medicine as a quick solution for depression, PTSD, or emotional suffering. Instead, she proposes that psychedelics often reveal what has been hidden, initiating a longer process of integration, meaning-making, and transformation. Dr. T, Truth Fairy, and Bianca explore concepts such as soul initiation, descent, grief, structural dissociation, and the risks of seeking transcendence before establishing sufficient grounding, embodiment, and relational safety.  Together, they also question dominant medical narratives around treatment-resistant depression, symptom reduction, and pathology. Bianca offers a perspective that reframes suffering as an adaptive response to relational and environmental conditions rather than simply a disorder to eliminate. The discussion highlights the importance of therapist self-awareness, resistance in the therapeutic relationship, Indigenous understandings of wellness, and the need to honour grief without pathologizing it. This episode offers a thoughtful and deeply philosophical exploration of trauma-informed psychedelic care, ecological belonging, and how healing may emerge through relationship, authenticity, and connection to both self and Earth.  "We've all come from an ancestry of people that have deep, deep connection to the earth, and those of us that are part of the community of colonization, we're just more disconnected from those origins of our earth-connected connected nature, our true nature."  - Dr. Bianca Sebben About Dr. Bianca Sebben: Dr Bianca Sebben is a Clinical Psychologist in private practice with experience working in both public and private sectors, including hospital inpatient settings. Bianca has a special interest in complex trauma, dissociative disorders and working with Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples. In her clinical practice, Bianca provides harm reduction and integration support to clients who have worked with non-ordinary states of consciousness in community and trial settings. Bianca completed PhD in Indigenous Psychology in Mexico, where she looked at incorporating traditional medicines into the western medical system to make it more culturally safe and accessible. Bianca provides training to therapists in providing psychedelic integration, with a particular focus on working with adverse events. Bianca has a special interest in 5 MeO DMT harm reduction and is a lecturer for the FIVE- 5 MeO Information and Vital Education platform. Bianca is also co-founder and Director of Indigenous Psychedelic Assisted Therapies, an organisation which advocates for Indigenous wisdom and consultation in the psychedelic field.

She's also been blogging and building her SEO for years, to the point where she can now publish a post and rank on the first page within days. In this episode, we talk about how she got there and how things look now. We also get into her video workflow — how she moves between photo and video inside a family session without losing momentum — and her honest take on where new photographers should put their energy.      Find It Quickly: 3:30 - Getting started 7:00 - Mini sessions and slow early growth 12:00 - Discovering lifestyle photography in 2017 20:00 - Client prep: email sequences other tools 27:00 - Styling guidance and client closets 30:00 - Adding video inside a family session 37:00 - SEO over Instagram 41:00 - Becca's membership 44:00 - Photo fuel: in-person events     Mentioned in this Episode: Becca's Membership: https://courses.beccajeanphotography.com/p/family-photography-collective Style and Select: https://styleandselect.com/ Becca's CRM: https://17hats.com/ How Becca edits film: Adobe Premiere Pro How Becca edits photo: Imagin AI Tristin Tracy: @tristentracy_photography   Connect with Becca:  Education: https://beccajeanphotography.com/education Instagram: @beccajeanphotography  Connect with Leah: PhotoFuel Retreat and Mastermind: leahoconnell.com/retreat Free resources: leahoconnell.com/learn  

On this week's episode of The Long Game podcast, Ben and Jason discuss the reaction to last week's scenes in Belfast, and react themselves to news of a long-awaited peace deal between the US and Iran. Finally, the lads turn to a topic close to Ben's heart in particular: the World Cup.

Send Jay comments via textThe Physical 401k: Safeguarding Your Most Valuable Asset for the Long Game.We spend decades meticulously planning for financial retirement, but we rarely perform the same rigorous audit on our physical wealth. Timothy Ward— fitness mentor, speaker, and bestselling author of The Goat Within —joins Jay Ramsden to discuss why low muscle mass and a declining VO2 max are the quietest, most dangerous health risks facing people over 50. Drawing from his own journey of turning childhood adversity into a life rooted in strength, Tim breaks down why generic, cookie-cutter gym routines fail and why "acting your age" is a fast track to physical bankruptcy.In this clear, grounded conversation, Tim introduces the Longevity Matrix — a comprehensive system that balances resistance training, nutrition, cardiovascular health, and rest. He exposes the common midlife trap of doing endless cardio or high-rep lifting, explaining how it can actually accelerate muscle loss instead of building stability. Learn the real science behind how resistance training uses adaptive remodeling to protect bone density, why custom biomarker blood testing is a game-changer for eliminating toxic nutrition, and how to build a supportive "posse" to keep you accountable. It's time to get honest about what you want your 70s and 80s to look like and build the undeniable energy reserves required to outlast aging.Strategic Highlights:The Shocking Statistics: Understanding why low strength and low VO2 max are tied to massive increases in early mortality risk.The Cardio Trap: Why adding more treadmill time without targeted resistance training can cost you the very muscle tissue you need to stay lean and stable.The Longevity Matrix: A tactical breakdown of the six pillars required to transition your body from decay to active reinvention.Rest and Recovery: The biological case for afternoon naps and protecting your physical currency as you age.Timothy Ward Bio (Learn More):  is a fitness mentor, longevity specialist, and author of The Goat Within.

In June 1992, 179 nations made two pledges that still shape every international conservation agreement today, and thirty years later, the world's most important climate conference was held inside a tropical rainforest. What happens in those halls matters—but so does everything that happens after. James Deutsch, CEO of Rainforest Trust, breaks down how a half-billion-dollar pledge helped catalyze the 30x30 target, why the Tropical Forests Forever Facility could fix a structural flaw in carbon finance, and where he sees the next window for real conservation progress. Constanza Prieto Figelist, Legal Director for Latin America at the Earth Law Center, explains how a Peruvian court recognized the Marañón River as a subject of rights, and why four articles in Ecuador's constitution have stopped more destructive projects than years of protest ever could. Catarina Nefertari of Amazônia de Pé was on the ground in Belém when COP30 arrived, and has spent years closing the distance between communities most affected by Amazon destruction and the rooms where decisions about its future are made.

Wow—I was blown away by executive coach Carrie Fabris this week on Paring Down! We talked all about how to stick to our goals (decluttering and otherwise).  Carrie shares practical frameworks for staying focused on what actually matters, especially when results don't happen overnight. What you'll learn: • How to use the “VIBE” framework to prioritize goals and protect your energy • Why burnout isn't about stress itself—it's about the lack of stress recovery • Why saying “no” right now doesn't mean “no” forever …and plenty more. Whether you're clearing out your closet or rethinking your career, this conversation is a reminder that focused, intentional action will always take you further than trying to do everything at once.

This past weekend reminded us why we love this game. At the center of it all was Nelly Korda, who won her first U.S. Women's Open at Riviera — her fourth major — with a clutch birdie on 17 and a par putt on 18 that circled the lip and dropped in for the win. Seven shots off the lead after round one, she made a grip change on her sister Jessica's advice and shot 67-67-69 to close it out. That's not luck. That's what elite athleticism looks like under pressure — and it's exactly what sets the LPGA women apart. Born into arguably the most athletic family in sports, the daughter of Czech tennis champions, Korda's rotational power, her ability to reset physically mid-round, her body that holds its pattern when everything tightens — that's a trained athlete performing at the highest level. The LPGA women move differently. This week at Riviera proved it.The rest of the weekend didn't disappoint either. JT Poston won a marathon Memorial Tournament in a playoff after blowing a four-shot lead, grinding through a 31-hole Sunday to birdie 18 when it mattered most. New dad Tyrrell Hatton went wire-to-wire at Valderrama to hold off Rahm on LIV. And 35-year-old Ben Kohles chased a fifth Korn Ferry Tour win across 1,016 career professional rounds — the definition of the long game. With Shinnecock Hills and the US Open two weeks away, Scott breaks down what all of it means for your game: why movement under pressure is the separator at every level, and how you can start building the kind of athletic foundation that holds up when something is actually on the line.

In this week's episode of the Artist Academy Podcast, I'm sharing a reminder that I think every artist needs to hear from time to time: just because things are slow doesn't mean you're doing anything wrong. A year ago I found myself staring at an almost empty schedule. There were opportunities floating around, but nothing seemed to be sticking. I found myself questioning whether I was being too selective and if I needed to change course. Fast forward to today, and I'm in one of the busiest seasons of my career, juggling multiple large-scale mural projects and booking months ahead. The funny thing is, there wasn't a magic marketing strategy, a viral post, or a big breakthrough moment that changed everything. In this episode, I'm talking about what I've learned from experiencing both the slow seasons and the busy ones. I share why I believe so much of success comes from compounded effort, how becoming more selective with projects has shaped my business, and why I'm focusing on reinvesting in my work while the momentum is here. If you've been showing up consistently and wondering if your efforts are making a difference, I hope this episode encourages you to keep going.

In this solo episode, Travis breaks down some of the biggest lessons he learned from his conversation with comedian Drew Dunn. While Drew is quickly becoming one of the most promising stand-up comics on the circuit, his success hasn't come from chasing shortcuts or viral moments. Instead, it's been built through patience, relentless focus, and a commitment to mastering a single craft. Travis shares how Drew's approach to comedy offers valuable insights for entrepreneurs, creators, and anyone pursuing long-term success. On this episode we talk about: Why success usually takes much longer than you expect—and why that's a good thing The importance of choosing one skill and becoming exceptional at it How to handle criticism and avoid wasting energy on internet trolls Turning jealousy into a tool for self-awareness and growth Why clarity comes from taking action rather than waiting for certainty Top 3 Takeaways Success is a marathon, not a sprint. Accepting a longer timeline helps you stay focused on building sustainable results instead of chasing short-term distractions. Master one thing before expanding into other opportunities. Deep expertise creates a foundation that opens doors later. When you feel stuck, take action first. Clarity rarely arrives before movement—it develops through experience and adjustment. Notable Quotes "Every opportunity came about two years later than I thought it should have." "Pick one thing, go be great at that one thing, and then everything else will follow." "Jealousy is a signal, not a verdict."

Rufus Griscom is a serial entrepreneur, investor, and media pioneer who has built and sold multiple companies over the last three decades. From launching Nerve.com during the early days of the internet to building Babble and selling it to Disney, Rufus has experienced the highs and lows of entrepreneurship firsthand. Today, he's the founder of The Next Big Idea Club and host of The Next Big Idea podcast, where he interviews some of the world's most influential thinkers. In this conversation, Rufus shares hard-earned lessons on startups, investing, wealth building, and achieving what he calls "financial independence escape velocity." On this episode we talk about: Lessons learned from building and selling multiple digital media companies Why most successful entrepreneurs fail before they succeed The importance of persistence, timing, and learning from mistakes Rufus's unconventional investing philosophy and focus on technology stocks How financial independence creates the freedom to do meaningful work Top 3 Takeaways Entrepreneurship is often a game of persistence. Most successful founders experience multiple failures and setbacks before building something that truly works. Building wealth isn't just about earning money—it's about investing wisely and allowing compounding to work over long periods of time. The ultimate purpose of financial success is freedom: the ability to spend your time working on projects and causes that genuinely matter to you. Notable Quotes "I think it's more common to not have your first startup work than to have it work." "The greatest luxury is to be able to do the work you care about." "Financial independence escape velocity is the inflection point where the money you've made can grow at a pace that makes it possible to pursue the things you love."

Have you ever stopped to consider what kind of family you're building? In this special conversation, my longtime friend Sherri Seligson and I look back on the years we spent raising and homeschooling our children together and share some of the lessons that matter even more now that our children are grown. It's easy to get caught up in academics, activities, and keeping up with everyone else. But looking back, some of the most important decisions we made had nothing to do with achievement and everything to do with relationships. In this episode, we talk about why sibling friendships matter more than many parents realize, how shared family experiences help create lasting bonds, and why resisting the pressure to overschedule your children may be one of the best gifts you can give your family. This isn't a conversation about perfect parenting. It's a conversation between two friends reflecting on what helped build connection, strengthen relationships, and create a family culture that lasts long after the school years are over. If you've ever wondered what really matters in the long run, this episode is for you.

Few executives spend an entire career helping build a dynasty. Tim Harris spent 35 years with the Los Angeles Lakers, rising to President of Business Operations and helping transform the franchise into a global brand. Through championship eras, iconic athletes like Kobe Bryant and LeBron James, and decades of change in professional sports, Tim's influence was felt not on the hardwood, but in the culture, leadership, and business excellence that powered one of the NBA's most storied organizations. In this episode you'll learn: ➡️ Why clarity of role is the most underrated tool in any leader's arsenal ➡️ The three unspoken words that silently destroy any team  ➡️ What Kobe Bryant taught Tim about mindset (+ why it matters off the court) ➡️ How the Lakers built one of the most powerful brands in sports ➡️ What elite athletes do differently + how it translates directly to business  ➡️ What caring, high-performing leadership actually looks like  ➡️ Why giving away free tickets to strangers was a brilliant + caring business decision ➡️ The cost of short-termism + what we lose when we stop playing the long game Even a brand as iconic as the Lakers wasn't built by championships alone.

Matt Oh was an engineer with a stable career and a 9-to-5 when a mission trip to India stopped him in his tracks. He saw something he couldn't unsee — women and children spending 10 hours a day walking to collect dirty water.In 2015, he founded FOREFRONT Charity with a few college friends and one water well. Today, more than 100,000 people across India, Kenya, and East Africa have been impacted through clean water, education, medical care, and empowerment. 105 water wells drilled. A school built, in which 20% of the students once worked in child labor, that now serves more than 250 first-generation students. A 90% program efficiency rate. Clearly, an engineer is running this.

Today's guest is Eric Becker. Eric is the founder and co-chairman at Cresset, an award-winning multi-family office with more than $250 billion in assets under management and advisement. Prior to launching Cresset, Eric co-founded Sterling Partners, a value-added, growth private equity firm that raised eight funds with over $5.7 billion of capital. Eric is the bestselling author of The Long Game, an acclaimed work that empowers entrepreneurs to lead with vision, think beyond the short term, and create enduring impact, and the host of The Long Game Podcast, where he sits down with founders, CEOs, investors, and multigenerational leaders to explore the decisions, discipline, and long-term thinking required to build companies that last.In this episode, we discuss Cresset's origin story, the lessons Eric has learned from decades of investing. Eric also explains the main characteristics of successful and enduring companies. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Ask most marketers what's driving demand and you'll get a list of campaigns. When host Zach Williams asked Erin Plummer, CMO of Hancock Lumber, she started somewhere else: customer intimacy and the discipline of deciding what not to do. In this episode she breaks down how a seventh-generation lumber dealer keeps marketing aligned to its mission as it scales, and why saying no is the strategic move she protects most.

Most farmers will never take this financial step — and it's costing them generational wealth. Here's what the 1% do differently.

You don't own your followers. You own your list. Every platform you're on is rented — the landlord can change the rules or close the door anytime. Your email list is the one audience nobody can take from you. The good news: it doesn't have to be huge. Three hundred of the right people is enough to run a real art business — which is exactly why you want three thousand, then thirty thousand, then three hundred thousand. This is the foundational one: why email matters, the creative ways to capture it, and the latest tradecraft. Almost no artists do this well. (We covered why the basics outlast everything in The Long Game — this is the basics, weaponized.) The unlock isn't new places. It's the places you're already standing — the booth, the bio link, the DM, the box you're shipping, the car in your driveway. Every one is a capture opportunity you're wasting. In this episode: The trifecta — phone, email, snail mail — and why email is the cheapest and easiest one to own Hobbyist or business? The honest cut, and why every opportunity is an email-capture opportunity The four online venues: your website (footer to popup to content upgrades), bio links, DMs, and comments The 11–15 second popup rule — the delay that converts at 6.45%, and why a zero-second popup kills it The Birthday Club, the new favorite opt-in: some people are birthday people, and if they are, they love it (3–4x) Just ask, then shut up — the DM play most artists never run The three offline venues: in-person events, the QR-code layer, and direct mail The clipboard and the fishbowl — $0 plays that are 150 years old and still work QR car magnets — the hero play nobody in art is running yet (about $35 a pair) Direct mail at $0.40 a piece — your art in 1,000 mailboxes around your gallery for less than a Meta ad The compounding math — how the basics become $800K–$1M over ten years Wyland and Gray Malin run this at the highest level — get on their lists and watch (see POD and Samples) This week's homework: pick three tactics. One online, one offline, and one you'd never have considered. Set them up by Friday. Then reply or DM me your three — I read every single one. Resources mentioned: Art Storefronts — the storefront engine for working artists Linktree — a bio-link service that turns your one link into a mini-website Sticker Mule car magnets — for the QR car-magnet play GotPrint — EDDM direct-mail postcards, ~$0.40 a piece Wyland and Gray Malin — get on their lists for the master class Related episodes: The Long Game — Why Your Website Will Still Be Working in 2055 POD and Samples — What Wyland and Gray Malin Actually Do The Gallery Test — Should Artists List Prices on Their Website? All Oars In — The Anatomy of a Sale So pick your three. A clipboard on the table, a real opt-in in your bio, a magnet on the car. You don't have to run every play — just start capturing in the places you're already standing. Followers are rented. The list is yours. All roads lead to email.

What if the most important inheritance you leave your family has nothing to do with money?Not stocks. Not real estate. Not a trust fund.But instead, a written record of your values, your hard-earned lessons, your family stories, your regrets, your hopes — the wisdom you want future generations to carry forward.Today's guest, Eric Becker, calls this an “ethical will.” He originally wrote one for his children years ago, never imagining that after the devastating loss of his daughter Kara, he would one day rediscover the document and find that it would help guide him through grief and back to himself.Eric is the Founder and Co-Chairman of Cresset Family Office & Private Wealth Management, a multi-family office overseeing more than $237 billion in assets under management and advisement. Before that, he co-founded Sterling Partners, the private equity firm that raised more than $5 billion across eight funds, and throughout his career has advised founders, entrepreneurs, and ultra-high-net-worth families on how to build businesses — and lives — that endure.His bestselling book and new podcast, The Long Game, explore exactly that: what separates companies, families, and leaders who survive for generations from those that disappear.In this conversation, we talk about the hidden traits of enduring companies, why culture matters more than most founders realize, how to recognize “moments of truth” in business and life, and why one of the most powerful questions you can ask yourself is: “What am I tolerating that I shouldn't be?”We also get into stoic philosophy, parenting, family meetings, AI, investing for the long term, and the surprising parallels between building a resilient company and building a meaningful life.Learn more about Farnoosh's upcoming literary workshop Book to Brand.
