We often hear the "mantra" to move fast and break things...But what happens when the thing that breaks is you?For many service design professionals, this is the reality of their calendar: back-to-back meetings, a rush to deliver, and very little space to actually think. In many organizations, there is a culture that views this busyness as a badge of honor.But our guest in this episode, Rachael Dietkus, has quite a different -and healthier- approach.She has a rule written on a post-it note right next to her desk: "No meetings before 10 AM".This might sound like a luxury, doesn't it? But Rachael, who's a licensed clinical social worker and designer, argues that rules like this are actually a professional necessity.Rachael is the founder of Social Workers Who Design, where she is bridging the gap between the deep, ethical frameworks of social work and the often frantic pace of design.This is an eye-opening episode where we explore why service design might be missing a "manual" that social workers have had for decades. You'll hear about:Why we need to move beyond just empathy to genuine care and compassion.The importance of having a structured "safe space" to process your work (social workers spend at least 1 hour in supervision for every 40 hours of work!).Why setting hard boundaries is actually a sign of competence and professionalism, not weakness.So, if you sometimes feel the weight of the work is getting too much and you're looking for ways to create a healthier, more sustainable work environment, this conversation offers practical clues.As we are almost wrapping up the year, it's an important reminder that reflection on our work isn't a nice to have, but a healthy habit we should all embrace.Enjoy the conversation and keep making a positive impact.Be well,~ Marc--- [ 1.

In part one of this two-part conversation, Kim sits down with photographer Allison Rodgers to talk about building a photography business that lasts. Allison shares her journey from art director to full-time photographer, and opens up about pricing, client experience, and why she believes in doing less but doing it better. If you've ever felt mad during a session or wondered how to charge what you're worth, this honest conversation is for you. KEY TAKEAWAYS: When prices feel too low, create something new and exciting instead of announcing a price increase across the board You know it's time to raise your prices when you're angry during sessions and feel like a button-pusher instead of an artist In-person sales appointments help you become a better photographer because you see how clients respond to your work People attach emotions to images based on the experience of creating them, not just how the photos look Doing less work with more intention creates better results than trying to do everything for everyone Connect with Allison: https://www.allisonrodgers.com/ Check out Pic-Time: https://motherhoodanthology.pic-time.com/referral Check out Picture Perfect Rankings: Group Coaching: https://pictureperfectrankings.com/found-booked/ Learn more: https://pictureperfectrankings.com/ Connect with The Motherhood Anthology Join TMA! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Enrollment link ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠- https://themotherhoodanthology.com/photography-mentoring/ Connect with TMA: Website | Membership | Courses:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠www.themotherhoodanthology.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Free Community:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/themotherhoodanthology ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Instagram:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠instagram.com/themotherhoodanthology⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Connect with Kim: Site:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://kimbox.com ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ IG⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/kimbox 

We want fixes fast. But grace grows like a living thing. Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks connect holiness with healing and health, contrasting our “instant results” culture with the Church's slow, steady path of love. They explore the Mass as a weekly encounter with transforming love, why Jesus ties miracles to faith, and how small, concrete acts—prayer, kindness, showing up—rebuild relationships and communities. Framed through the three lenses: honesty with ourselves, charity with others, under a living relationship with God.Key IdeasHoliness = healing = health: one continuum where God's love fills wounds and restores us to love like Him.Mass as encounter and formation: receive Love Himself, then live it in family, work, parish, and the margins.Faith and consent: Jesus often says “your faith has healed you”—grace invites a free, trusting response.Resist the “instant” reflex: spiritual growth is organic (like crops); show up, be attentive, persevere.Love in action: begin with prayer, then take the next generous step—kindness, advocacy, building support networks.“Where there is no love, put love”: small, steady offerings create gratitude, connection, and hope.Links & ReferencesScripture mentioned (no links):Healings attributed to faith (e.g., Mark 5:34; Luke 7:50; Luke 8:48).The Eucharist as encounter with Christ (cf. John 6).Saint cited (no link added): St. John of the Cross — “Where there is no love, put love, and you will draw out love.”CTAIf this helped, please leave a review or share this episode with a friend.Questions or thoughts?

Get 40% off at Little Things Studio - SHOP NOW  Today I get to sit down with Mark Batterson—pastor, bestselling author, and one of the most trusted voices on spiritual courage, calling, and long obedience in a loud, distracted world. His new book is a powerful reminder that God shapes us not only in mountaintop moments but also in the quiet, daily faithfulness that transforms us over time. We're talking about grit—the kind that stays when it would be easier to quit. Because here's the truth: everything meaningful takes longer, costs more, and stretches us deeper than we ever expect. But when you keep showing up, even when it's hard, that's when you grow into the person God is building you to be. Mark and I dig into doubt, divine timing, and the spiritual resistance that always seems to show up right before a breakthrough. He shares practical, powerful wisdom for anyone who wants to follow God with courage that lasts—not just emotional highs that fade, but anchored faith that stands the test of time.   Timestamps: update once first cut is available (02:52) - The Story Behind “Gradually, Then Suddenly” and Why It Changes Everything (04:00) - Going After Your God-Sized Dreams Without Fear or Frenzy (05:17) - How to Stop Feeling Behind and Start Trusting God's Timing (09:07) - What It Really Looks Like to Commit to the Long Game (10:40) -  Why We Overestimate the Short Term but Underestimate What God Can Do in the Long Run   WATCH ALLI  ON YOUTUBE Links to great things we discussed:    Mark's Book - Gradually Then Suddenly Mark's Product Recommendation - Pink Miracle Shoe Cleaner Kit Mark's Movie Recommendation - David The Uplift app is here!

Strategy doesn't fail because it's wrong on paper; it fails when culture and execution don't carry it across the line. We sat down with board leader and former CFO Heidrun Wechter-Essig to map the triangle that actually delivers results—strategy for clarity, culture for belief, and execution for momentum—and to explore how that lens changes the way we approach transformation, AI, and M&A.Heidrun shares hard-won lessons from 50+ deals, calling out hubris as the top red flag and highlighting the underrated signal few teams discuss: a refusal to choose. If leaders can't say what won't get done post-close, integration drifts and politics bloom. We talk through practical guardrails—clear decision rights, measurable milestones, and incentives tied to a crisp integration thesis—that keep value creation on track. The conversation also reframes “transformation” from a vague mandate to a capability you build: early wins, peer-to-peer storytelling, and transparency that outlasts the flavor-of-the-month cycle.On AI, we cut through buzzwords and get specific. Boards need literacy in machine learning and large language models, the ability to ask for explainability, and a scorecard for bias and model risk. Strategic edge comes from targeted use cases that improve decisions, speed innovation, and sharpen focus—not generic tools your competitors can copy. We explore smart versus dumb governance: focus on the few risks that matter with strong controls, give freedom within a framework elsewhere, and replace the illusion of control with clear containment principles for volatile markets.Finally, we rethink power at the top. Real power is influence—the quiet force that aligns stakeholders and enables excellence—balanced with moments of visible clarity when uncertainty spikes. Heidrun's stories show how leaders manage contradictions like stability versus reinvention and control versus entrepreneurial freedom, and how legacy is measured in people who can now run the triangle without you. If you're building a board, leading a deal, or trying to make AI useful rather than noisy, this is your playbook for practical, people-centered change.Enjoyed the conversation?

In the final episode of the Finding Our Why mini-series, PSIA-AASI's Nathan Chapple reflects on two decades in snowsports instruction—starting as a 15-year-old junior instructor in the Pacific Northwest and growing into an Intermountain examiner who measures success by the lives he touches. Nathan shares how teaching gave a shy kid a consistent forum to practice communication, how certification structure sharpened his craft, and why a student-centered approach (and today's People Skills emphasis) creates better teachers—and better guest experiences. Nathan also opens up about scaling impact by training instructors, the season he nearly lost his spark, and how changing environments (hello, Snowbird) helped him rediscover joy. His advice for anyone on the fence about Level II or Level III is pure gold: control what you can, avoid outcome-only goals, and treat this as a game to play—not a game to win. It's a grounded, generous conversation that brings our series home: purpose isn't a pin or a title—it's the way we show up for guests, peers, and the broader mountain community.

This week, we're joined by Stephanie Wittels Wachs—author of Everything Is Horrible and Wonderful and co-founder/Chief Creative Officer of Lemonada Media (home of her own podcast Last Day and Wiser Than Me with Julia Louis-Dreyfus). We talk about losing her brother, Harris Wittels, the anger that showed up early in her grief, and how learning more about addiction as a disease changed everything. Stephanie shares what it's like to parent while grieving, why humor is “not disrespectful—it's oxygen,” and how legacy lives on in tiny family moments (yes, we are referring to dinner at Chilis or Benihana). It's a conversation about love, identity, and finding actual joy again....without pretending the hard parts didn't happen.Everything is Horrible and Wonderful: A Tragicomic Memoir of Genius, Heroin, Love and Loss by Stephanie Wittels WachsLemonada Media Make life suck lessLast Day Podcast Connect with Stephanie on insta Connect with Lemonada on insta

In this Kitchen Side episode of The Long Game Podcast, the Omniscient team dives into a wide-ranging discussion on trust, research quality, and marketing visibility in an AI-driven world. They start with epistemology—what makes research “good” or “bad”—and reflect on how flawed correlations can mislead marketers. The team then unpacks their recent Winter study on how B2B buyers use LLMs like ChatGPT in the purchase journey, revealing that while LLMs are common early in research, peer feedback and brand transparency are essential in final decisions. They also explore the evolution of SEO into GEO/AEO, discuss organizational roles and feedback loops, and propose new cross-functional models for digital visibility in a world of probabilistic, AI-generated content.Key TakeawaysNot All Research Is Trustworthy: Internal/external validity and sample bias can distort marketing data—marketers need stronger research literacy.Correlation ≠ Causation: Data trends, especially in AI visibility, often include spurious relationships—interpret with caution.LLMs Are Entry Points, Not Final Decision Tools: While many B2B buyers start with AI search, they turn to peers and review sites before converting.Transparency Beats Perfection: Buyers trust brands that clearly state who they serve, what they do, and where they fall short.GEO Relies on Accuracy: Incorrect or outdated online information can mislead LLMs—fixing this improves visibility and conversions.Sentiment and Product Reality Matter: Negative perception from bad UX or old reviews isn't a marketing problem—it's a product and comms one.AEO Needs Cross-Functional Ownership: Teams like PR, content, SEO, and product marketing must collaborate to influence LLM visibility.A New Role May Be Needed: “Digital visibility lead” or a cross-team committee could help unify efforts across brand, SEO, and off-page strategy.Show LinksConnect with David Khim on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Alex Birkett on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Allie Decker on LinkedIn and TwitterConnect with Omniscient Digital on LinkedIn or TwitterWhat is Kitchen Side?One big benefit of running an agency or working at one is you get to see the “kitchen side” of many different businesses; their revenue, their operations, their automations, and their culture.You understand how things look from the inside and how that differs from the outside.You understand how the sausage is made. As an agency ourselves, we're working both on growing our clients' businesses as well as our own.

Lynnell is joined by senior NFL writer for The Athletic, Mike Jones, for an honest look at how the Commanders wound up effectively out of the playoff hunt before Thanksgiving. Jones explains why Washington's roster lacks enough young, difference-making talent — and why fixing that will take multiple drafts and a few years before the Commanders can realistically become a perennial playoff team. He also weighs in on whether Jayden Daniels should return once healthy, arguing that the reps are too valuable to pass up. Lynnell and Jones then pivot around the league to hit some of the biggest NFL storylines, including Shedeur Sanders gearing up for his first career start this Sunday against the Raiders.

Ecclesiastes 12-The Long Game by Chaplain Braswell

Hello, and welcome to another episode of The Blueprint Podcast.   In this episode, we welcome Deborah Reece, Director and Owner of Price Reece Property Services, into the Property Entrepreneur Hall of Fame.   Deborah's Year of "Who Dares Wins" was truly transformational. Just a year ago, she was working long corporate hours, managing a team in a law firm, and craving change. After joining Property Entrepreneur, she took the leap - quitting her job and going all in on her property journey.   Since then, she's completely redesigned her life. Deborah hit her health goals for 2025, losing 9kg and moving from the diabetic range to consistently below pre-diabetic levels.    In business, Deborah embraced The Long Game, building solid foundations with an Operations Manual, systems, policies, and financial clarity. She scaled her business with the help of her VA, achieving far more together than she ever could alone.   A defining moment came at a Property Entrepreneur Supper Club, when a mentor encouraged her to stop outsourcing her dream and back herself fully. On the 22nd October, Deborah officially left her corporate job, and hasn't looked back since.   Her journey is proof that when you follow The Blueprint, trust the process, and dare to back yourself, life can change in extraordinary ways.   Success and failure are both very predictable.   I hope you enjoy.

Every CMO faces the same question: how do you balance long-term brand equity with short-term performance marketing?In the fifth episode of The Brand Builder's Playbook, hosts Jim Stengel and Ryan Barker, along with guest co-host Lindsey Wehking, tackle one of the most heated debates in modern marketing: brand versus performance.

Rob sits down with longtime coach and mentor Dean Jaderston to unpack the transitions that shaped his career—from Minnesota high schools to college men's hoops, and eventually to leading women at Friends University. Dean lays out a clear contrast between coaching men and women, why the collective psyche matters on women's teams, how to move from managing to leading, and what it takes to stay steady in a public, always-on era. Faith, patience, and the willingness to play the long game thread through the whole conversation.Key ThemesTransitions that grow you: High school → college; men → women; what Dean “didn't know he didn't know” about recruiting and preparation.Coachability & confidence: With men, puncturing overconfidence; with women, raising ceilings and naming their potential.The collective effect: Public praise/critique lands differently on women's teams—use “we/us” language and handle most individual feedback 1:1.Lead, don't just manage: Dean's “one big rule”—you either bless people or curse people; hold to that and cut the bloated rulebook.Faith as framework: Total-release effort as worship; coach the whole person—spiritually, emotionally, psychologically.Reality of the job: Life and coaching are messy; don't overreact, don't take it personally, watch actions over words, and keep vision front and center.Listening builds buy-in: Seek first to understand; today's athletes spot inauthenticity fast.Vision sustains: The Hartman Arena story—nobody believed it early; vision made the work coherent.Notable Moments00:15 – Why Rob almost changed jobs just to learn from Dean01:36 – High school → college: “I didn't know what I didn't know” (recruiting, prep)06:00 – When talent stalls: the cost of being uncoachable06:33 – Men vs. women: confidence gaps and ceilings08:52 – Language shift: use “we/us”; keep praise/critique mostly individual10:49 – Why schemes/X&O often matter more in the women's game11:58 – Teaching bug: chasing light-bulb moments and durable confidence14:35 – Faith, “audience of One,” and coaching the whole person20:17 – Coaching in the information age: echo chambers and public scrutiny21:18 – From rules to leadership: Dean's single standard (“bless vs. curse”)23:13 – Adapt the system to the roster you actually have24:04 – Listening as strategy for buy-in26:00 – Hope and vision: conditioning with the end in mind30:26 – Don't take it personal; judge actions over words31:02 – Playing the long game when your job feels year-to-year33:44 – Embrace the mess; prepare for age-appropriate, inappropriate moments35:25 – Rapid fire: books, failures, definitions of success, habitsRapid-Fire ReferencesBooks mentioned: Coach K's leadership book (annual reread); Frosty Westering's Make the Big Time Where You Are (ethos: maximize what you have, where you are).Podcast: Better Questions by Matt Davis.Definition of success: Help people see and seize their potential—spiritually, academically, emotionally, athletically.Practical TakeawaysShrink the rulebook. Hold a single, culture-defining standard and enforce it consistently.Reframe confidence. With men, calibrate realism; with women, remove ceilings.Mind the locker room dynamics. Public praise/critique has second-order effects on women's teams—coach individuals individually.Lead with listening. Credibility follows curiosity and presence.Keep vision visible. Name the destination daily so effort has context.Don't chase validation. If behavior changes, let that be the win.Check out more of our stuff (and sign up to get a free resource) at impactfulcoachingproject.com.

The team had met its growth goals and earned their bonuses—but the company's cash flow hadn't caught up. “You need the cash to make those payments,” he tells us. That hard-won lesson reshaped how Wissig approached finance from that day forward: plan ahead, balance ambition with liquidity, and bring the wider leadership team into that awareness.Before that turning point, Wissig had spent a decade in investment banking, advising hundreds of middle-market companies on transactions. Eventually, the advisor wanted to build. In 2013, he co-founded Hixme to give employers a new way to fund individual health insurance—an idea born from the Affordable Care Act's reshaping of the market. When regulatory realities slowed progress, Wissig stayed the course. Hixme's platform and team were acquired by SureCo in 2020, where he now serves as CFO and COO.At SureCo, Wissig's banking discipline meets an operator's pragmatism. He focuses on two levers—raising revenue per customer and scaling efficiencies—and on hiring into his weaknesses, surrounding himself with strong CPAs. His leadership style mirrors his philosophy on failure: persistence is progress. “If the game is still being played, then you haven't failed,” he tells us.Twelve years into his pursuit of the ICHRA model, Wissig remains motivated by one conviction: lasting change in healthcare begins by putting individuals—not institutions—at the center of the system.

Jon Herold records a special preflight edition of The Daily Herold before heading to Cocoa Beach for GART 10, taking aim at the latest election “results” and the narratives being spun around them. From a Democratic sweep in New York, New Jersey, and Virginia to Vivek Ramaswamy's tone-deaf postmortem on GOP strategy, Jon argues that none of it matters in a rigged system. He breaks down how the regime fabricates consensus, manipulates optics, and uses false rebukes of Trump to shape public perception before 2026. The conversation turns to Trump's Truth Social posts calling for the end of the filibuster and warning that the Supreme Court's tariff ruling is “life or death” for the nation. Jon challenges those ideas head-on, questioning why Trump would rely on an illegitimate Senate or SCOTUS when he already holds the constitutional power to act. From info-war fatigue to Trump's “psyop loops,” Jon delivers a raw and honest reflection on faith, frustration, and the fight for reality in a country still asleep at the wheel.
