Most nonprofits measure events by one number: how much they raised. Emily Preble thinks that's the wrong starting point.Emily is a fundraising consultant and professional auctioneer based in Austin, and in this episode she walks through the question she asks every client before planning an event — and it has nothing to do with the goal. Trevor and Emily get into why more attendees doesn't mean more money, how to turn corporate-table guests into lifelong donors, the post-event gratitude strategy most orgs skip, and the research-backed reason three consecutive events matter more than almost anything else you'll do.Chapters: 00:00 Intro00:37 Celebrating Tom: The Heart of Our Team03:37 Emily Preble: A Passion for Fundraising05:03 The Role of Consulting in Nonprofit Success07:05 Understanding Event Goals Beyond Fundraising09:01 Engaging New Attendees and Building Lasting Relationships14:08 Reviving Energy in Fundraising Events18:14 Importance of Community and Connection21:33 Long-Term Goals in Fundraising 24:25 Gratitude and Recognition27:00 Rapid Fire Insights on Fundraising30:45 Closing Thoughts and Future ConnectionsHave a question or topic you'd like us to cover?

Most people fail to achieve long-term goals because their goals stay foggy, vague, not deconstructed, sequenced, selected and kept accountable.Achievement that lasts has very little to do with talent and everything to do with the process.When “get healthy,” “become a better leader,” or “grow my business” is still a blurry vision, it's almost impossible to know what to do on any day, let alone what to track, what to practice, and what to improve. And how to put the whole thing together.I walk you through one of the most fundamental coaching skills I use with clients: deconstruction (goal decomposition). We take any complex goal and break it into smaller, defined milestones and trainable subskills you can act on today. I ground it with a practical health example using the big four pillars of well-being: sleep, nutrition, exercise, and stress management, plus the real subskills inside nutrition like meal planning, protein, hydration, and emotion regulation.Then I bring in Tim Ferriss's DISSS learning framework: Deconstruction, Selection, Sequencing, and Stakes. We talk about the 80/20 rule (Pareto principle) so you focus on the few actions that create the biggest return, how to sequence skills so you're not “building a tabletop with no legs,” and why stakes and accountability are the difference between ideas and results. I also share how to use AI tools like ChatGPT or Claude to identify components, prioritize the high-leverage pieces, and draft a plan you can schedule and measure.If you want better goal setting, skill building, and a simple system for personal growth that actually works in real life, hit play and share it with someone who needs it.

Here is a pretty basic question: Have you ever set a long-term goal and then not achieved it? If so, you're right up there with 99.99% of the entire human population. One of the problems with long-term goals is that they're incredibly difficult to achieve, and for the most part, we end up giving up on them and then feeling like failures.
Most people approach fitness goals the same way they approach a New Year's resolution—focused on outcomes, timelines, and motivation. And most people abandon them just as quickly.In this episode, we take a different approach.Drawing from years of coaching experience with executives and high-performing professionals, this conversation reframes how to think about fitness, health, and long-term performance. Instead of asking what you want to achieve, we explore the more important question: what can you realistically sustain when life gets busy, stressful, and unpredictable?You'll learn why outcome-based goals often fail, how shifting your focus to process creates consistency, and how to design a fitness plan that actually fits into real life—not ideal conditions. Whether you're setting goals for the year ahead or rethinking an approach that hasn't worked in the past, this episode offers a practical, evidence-based framework for building momentum that lasts.This is a conversation about sustainability, discipline, and playing the long game with your health—without gimmicks, shortcuts, or burnout.Discover Strength offers free Introductory Workouts at any location across the United States.

In this first episode of the new year, I'm choosing calm over chaos.I'm not reinventing myself, starting from scratch, or scrambling to keep up with “new year, new me” energy. Instead, I'm sharing why starting early, thinking long-term, and moving with clarity has completely changed how I'm entering this season.We talk about letting go of extreme resets, why urgency is often fake, and how building quietly without pressure or performative goal-setting creates more sustainable growth. This episode is for anyone who wants to move forward with intention, protect their energy, and stop letting the calendar dictate their confidence.No hype. No panic. Just grounded clarity and grown-woman energy.Send us a text

Former Indians pitcher, current Rays TV analyst and Cleveland's own Brian Anderson joined Dan Menningen and Anthony Alandt on Friday talking about the Browns and what the end goal is for the team going into 2026.
In this week's episode, we zoom out to talk long-term goal mapping, sparked by Katie revisiting an athlete questionnaire she filled out in 2017—and how goals like completing an Ironman or qualifying for the Boston Marathon quietly became reality through years of unsexy consistency. From there, we dig into our experiences with multisport training versus single-sport focus, sharing practical ways to use multisport to support durability, aerobic development, and time management while keeping the main goal the main thing during a focused training block or season. We also touch on lessons from the Norwegian Training Method, why consistency beats heroic workouts, how to interpret training data and fitness metrics with better context, and how to think critically about course demands using AI tools (including a deep dive into the Ironman Maine 70.3 bike course). If you're thinking about long-term progression, balancing multisport with focused training, or building fitness that lasts for years, this episode is for you.

She shares how she's remained connected to this vision despite life's curveballs and how taking imperfect action has helped her continue moving forward.

My guest: James Clear is the author of one of the most influential books of our generation, Atomic Habits. He's sold over 25 million copies worldwide and has helped millions of people transform their lives through the power of small changes. We brought the podcast to the campus of Ohio University, where we recorded live in front of 250 of the most impressive college students I've ever met. Notes: I loved the Morgan Housel moment - It was cool to see James' reaction to it (you can watch it on YouTube.com/RyanHawk). Morgan said, "I have absolutely not a single cell of envy for him. Because he is the nicest guy you will ever meet. You will not meet a nicer human than James Clear. You will not meet someone as successful as he is and as humble as he is. He is a saint in my life. And because of that, I adore every bit of this guy, so I cannot envy him. I am just inspired by his success, full stop." We should all strive to be that for the people in our lives. Your WHO - "Every opportunity in life comes through a person. Relationships are usually the most important thing. If you want to achieve more, there is a relationship that can unlock better results. If you want to make a meaningful contribution, helping others is a great way to do it. If you sim Willpower – 'People with tremendous self-control aren't that different from those who struggle. They're simply better at structuring their lives in a way that doesn't require heroic willpower.' It's not about determination, it's about design. That's liberating. Fall in Love with the Process - "When you fall in love with the process rather than the product, you don't have to wait to give yourself permission to be happy. You can be satisfied anytime your system is running. And a system can be successful in many different forms, not just the one you first envision." Make It Obvious, Easy, Attractive, Satisfying - The four laws of behavior change: make good habits obvious and bad habits invisible, make good habits easy and bad habits difficult, make good habits attractive and bad habits unattractive, make good habits satisfying and bad habits unsatisfying. Use the Two-Minute Rule - Scale any habit down to something that takes two minutes or less. Want to read more? Read one page. Want to run a marathon? Put on your running shoes. The goal is to master showing up and make the entry point as easy as possible. Standardize Before You Optimize - You can't improve a habit that doesn't exist. Master the art of showing up before worrying about optimization. Build consistency first, then work on increasing the dose or improving performance. Track Your Habits Visually - I use a paper clip strategy: start each day with 120 paper clips in one jar, move one to another jar each time I complete a writing session. Visual tracking provides clear evidence of progress and makes the habit satisfying. Habits Need to Match Your Personality - There's no one-size-fits-all approach. Morning people and night owls need different strategies. Work with your natural tendencies, not against them. Choose habits and contexts that align with who you already are. Create Commitment Devices - Make bad habits difficult through commitment devices. I had my assistant change my social media passwords every Monday and only give them back on Fridays. This eliminated mindless scrolling during my productive work hours. Focus on Systems, Not Goals - Winners and losers have the same goals. The difference is their systems. Goals are about the results you want to achieve; systems are about the processes that lead to those results. Fall in love with the process, not the outcome. Build Habits That Align With Your Desired Identity - I wanted to be a writer, so I wrote every Monday and Thursday for years. Eventually, I had proof. I couldn't deny I was a writer because of the body of work I'd created. Your habits are how you embody your identity. The Plateau of Latent Potential - We expect progress to be linear, but it's not. Habits often appear to make no difference until you cross a critical threshold. You need to persist long enough to get through the plateau and break through to the other side. Reduce Friction for Good Habits - I want to work out more, so I lay out my workout clothes the night before. When I wake up, they're the first thing I see. The easier you make the habit, the more likely you are to do it. Increase Friction for Bad Habits - Want to watch less TV? Unplug it after each use and put the remote in another room. The added friction makes the bad habit less appealing and gives you a moment to make a better choice. Automate Good Decisions - Technology can lock in good behavior. I set up automatic transfers to my investment account. Once the system is in place, the good behavior happens without requiring willpower or decision-making energy. Student Questions On Building Habits in College - The mess of college is actually useful because you're forced to figure out who you are. Use this time to experiment with different habits and see what sticks. You have more flexibility now than you will later in life. On Breaking Bad Habits - Trying to eliminate a bad habit without replacing it with something else is really hard. The more sustainable approach is habit substitution. If you want to stop scrolling social media, replace it with reading for five minutes instead. On Staying Consistent - Never miss twice. Missing once is an accident; missing twice is the start of a new habit. Elite performers aren't consistent because they're more disciplined—they have better strategies for getting back on track quickly when life happens. On Finding Your Purpose - I think the idea of finding your purpose is misleading. You don't find your purpose; you build it through the habits you practice daily. Your life is essentially a collection of your habits, so if you want a different life, build different habits. On Overcoming Setbacks - After my accident, I had to redefine what success looked like. Sometimes progress means recovering what you lost rather than reaching new heights. Focus on what you can control today rather than what you wish you could control. On Reading and Learning - I read across many disciplines because insights often come from connecting ideas from different fields. Read widely, take notes, and revisit those notes regularly. The goal isn't to finish books—it's to find ideas that change how you think. On Building a Writing Practice - I published twice per week for years before anything took off. Most people overestimate what they can accomplish in one year and underestimate what they can accomplish in ten years. Show up consistently and let time do the heavy lifting. Reflection Questions Are you focused on achieving goals or building systems? What's one process you could improve this week that would make your desired outcomes more likely? What's one habit you want to build? Can you make it so easy that you can't say no—something that takes two minutes or less? How can you design your environment to make this habit obvious and attractive? Which of your current habits align with the identity you want to build? What small votes can you cast today through your actions to prove to yourself who you want to become?

Big goals shouldn't feel like hauling a suitcase of rocks up a hill.We're talking about how ambitious people accidentally strap on extra weight with the wrong scorecard - chasing outcomes, timelines, and approval - when the real leverage lives in daily process, commitment to daily work, clear systems, and consistent action.Today, I'm walking you through a practical high-performance exercise that reframes control, so you can stop measuring what you don't own and start optimizing the inputs you do.We dig into concrete examples across life and work: training vs winning, habits vs goals, preparation vs luck, and systems vs willpower. On the communication and leadership side, we unpack speaking clearly vs being understood, authenticity vs approval, boundaries vs reactions, and decision quality vs outcome certainty. In creative strategy, we anchor on experimentation, iteration, and feedback instead of perfection and prediction, showing how curiosity and small learning loops speed up real progress and reduce burnout.We'll finish with 2 grounding questions that tie it all together, 2 questions you must ask yourself whenever life, goals and work feel heavy.If you're feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or judged by an external scoreboard, this conversation gives you a lighter way to travel - focused, energized, and resilient over the long haul.If the episode resonates, follow the show, share it with a friend who's chasing something big, and leave a quick review to help others find it.Then tell me: what controllable input will you commit to this week?Also, try my new GPT - Negative Self-Talk Trainer: https://chatgpt.com/g/g-68f9e96bb94c81918b16bc403c31adfe-self-talk-trainer Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina Behavior-First, Executive, Leadership and Optimal Performance Coach 360, Change Leadership & Culture Transformation Consultant

In 1960, two brothers scraped together $900 and bought a failing pizzeria in Michigan, launching what would become a cautionary tale about sales incentive programs gone wrong. Within months, one brother traded his half of the business for a beat-up Volkswagen, leaving Tom Monaghan alone with his ambitions. By 1965, with three stores under his belt, Tom faced a naming crisis. He couldn't legally keep using the original name, DomiNick's, so an employee suggested "Domino's." The logo? Three dots, one for each store. Tom figured he'd add a new dot for every location. After opening store number five, he wisely reconsidered that plan. Because what happened next wasn't just growth—it was an explosion that would teach sales leaders everywhere a crucial lesson about the double-edged sword of powerful incentives. How One Sales Incentive Program Nearly Destroyed a Billion-Dollar Company Here's what America looked like in the early 1980s: Microwave ovens were revolutionizing kitchens, Federal Express was making overnight delivery an expectation, and Americans weren't just eating faster—they were living faster. Domino's fit perfectly into this new rhythm, but Tom Monaghan wanted more. In a move that bordered on dangerous, he made a promise so simple it would define the company for decades: "Pizza Delivered in 30 Minutes or It's Free." It wasn't just about pizza. It was about certainty. And America bought it—literally. Within a year, sales exploded. From 200 stores in 1978 to over 2,500 by 1985. Over 5,000 by 1989. Every store became a speed factory with slimmed-down menus, cookie-cutter layouts, and drivers who might as well have been sitting behind the wheel with engines already running. Competitors couldn't keep up. But here's the brutal truth about speed: you don't see the danger until it's too late. The Hidden Dangers of Performance-Based Compensation Here's what every sales leader needs to understand: Powerful sales incentives, pushed too far, create unintended consequences that can destroy company culture. This principle, that when metrics become targets, they cease to be good metrics, would prove devastatingly true for Domino's. At first, the cracks were small. A delivery driver rolling a stop sign here, a speeding ticket there. But this wasn't a system built to reward patience—it was built to reward speed at any cost. Inside Domino's stores, the pressure wasn't subtle. Drivers were expected to race the clock. If they missed the 30-minute mark, some franchises made them pay for the order out of their own pockets. The message was clear: make it fast, or make it up yourself. Rolling stops became running red lights. Neighborhood shortcuts turned into risky maneuvers through heavy traffic. What customers didn't see—and what Domino's executives refused to acknowledge—was that they'd created a ticking time bomb. Speed wasn't just a business model anymore; it had become a way of life that determined every employee's behavior, and smart sales leaders understand this connection between incentives and culture. By the late 1980s, insurance companies raised Domino's premiums by 15-20 percent. Reports surfaced of accidents tied to delivery drivers rushing to meet the 30-minute window. Then came the story that changed everything: A Domino's driver in St. Louis ran a red light, colliding with another vehicle. Inside that car was Jean Kinder, whose life was permanently changed. The jury awarded her $78 million in punitive damages. In 1993, Domino's officially ended the 30-minute guarantee in the United States. Here's what most sales leaders get wrong about incentives: they don't just shape what people do—they shape who people become. Sound familiar? It should. Because this same pattern plays out in sales organizations every single day. 5 Warning Signs Your Sales Incentives Are Backfiring Take Wells Fargo's aggressive cross-selling goals in the mid-2010s. Supervisors told bankers to open more accounts, sell more products, and hit quotas—or else. Employees did exactly what they were told, opening fake accounts and forging signatures. Wells Fargo didn't create fraudsters; they created an incentive system that made fraud feel like survival. There's a name for this phenomenon: the Cobra Effect. When a metric becomes a target, it ceases to be a good metric. Here are the warning signs your sales incentives need fixing—red flags that indicate you're prioritizing activity over results, enabling ethical shortcuts, and creating feast-or-famine revenue patterns: Team focuses on activity over outcomes - More calls and emails don't matter if they're not creating meaningful prospect conversations Short-term wins at expense of customer relationships - Discounting heavily to hit monthly numbers while sacrificing long-term value High turnover among top performers - Your best people leave because the system rewards the wrong behaviors Ethical corners being cut to hit numbers - When quotas become more important than integrity Feast-or-famine revenue patterns - Inconsistent results month to month because the focus is on quick fixes, not sustainable processes How to Design Sales Compensation That Drives Sustainable Growth The best compensation systems reward leading indicators and sustainable behaviors, not just outcomes. Domino's learned this lesson the hard way, but they didn't just bury their story—they changed course entirely. In the late 2000s, they made a stunning move, publicly admitting: "Our pizza isn't very good." They showed real customer complaints, took the hits, then got to work. Their stock climbed from $8 in 2008 to over $300 within a decade. They learned to build better incentives that reward the right behaviors and align with long-term success. Here's how to build incentives that drive sustainable success: Focus on Leading Indicators, Not Just Outcomes. Instead of only rewarding closed deals, reward the activities that create deals: thorough discovery calls, proper qualification, and relationship-building activities that compound over time. Reward Quality Over Quantity. One well-qualified opportunity built through genuine relationship-building is worth more than ten tire-kickers. Incentivize salespeople to walk away from bad fits and invest time in prospects who match your ideal customer profile. Align Short-Term Actions with Long-Term Goals. If customer retention is crucial to your business model, make sure your compensation plan doesn't punish salespeople for taking time to ensure proper onboarding and implementation. Build in Safety Valves. Create mechanisms to catch unintended consequences before they become systemic problems. Regular feedback loops and management oversight can prevent small cracks from becoming major fractures. Make Values Visible in Your Metrics. If integrity, customer success, and teamwork matter, find ways to measure and reward these behaviors alongside revenue production. The Bottom Line Whether you're running a sales team or delivering pizzas, the principle remains the same: if you want better results, build better incentives. Your incentive system is either your greatest asset or your greatest liability. The choice is yours, but the consequences—good or bad—are inevitable. As you design your next compensation plan or set your next team goals, remember the Domino's dilemma. Speed without wisdom is just recklessness with a deadline. The question isn't whether your incentives will shape behavior—it's whether they'll shape it in the direction you actually want to go. Don't just move fast. Learn when to hit the brakes. An important part of developing a high performing sales team and creating a collaborative work environment is hiring the right salespeople.

On episode 696 of the 40+ Fitness podcast, Coach Allan interviews Dr. Mark Sherwood, co-founder of Tulsa's Functional Medical Institute and author of the Amazon bestseller, "Quest for Wellness: A Practical and Personal Wellness Plan for Optimal Health in Your Body, Mind, Emotions, and Spirit." In this conversation, Dr. Sherwood shares his holistic approach to health, challenging the one-size-fits-all mentality and inviting listeners to reflect: Are you willing to make the changes necessary to achieve true wellness? Together, Allan and Dr. Sherwood dig into the real work of transformation—setting meaningful goals, journaling, course-correcting, and building a solid foundation in all four dimensions of wellness: physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. Dr. Sherwood doesn't believe in shortcuts or empty marketing promises—he's all about practical steps and sustainable habits, from daily movement and smart nutrition to self-talk and sleep. Whether you're struggling to build momentum or just looking for fresh motivation, this episode is packed with actionable advice and encouragement to help you take charge of your health and thrive at any age.

In this episode, my guest is Dr. Jordan Peterson, Ph.D., psychologist, professor emeritus at the University of Toronto, best-selling author, and prominent online educator. We discuss the biology of human emotions and motivations, healthy versus destructive impulses, addictions, and generative drives. Topics include how brain states shape decision-making—for better or worse—and how religion and culture can guide us toward and through the best paths in life. We also explore the innate human drive to create "impact at a distance" and how it influences social interactions, educational pursuits, career choices, and relationships. Additional subjects include morality, social media, politics, the human appetite for drama, and the importance of embracing responsibility as a form of adventure to avoid wasting time. Listeners will gain practical knowledge from psychology, neuroscience, philosophy, and religion. Read the full show notes at hubermanlab.com.
