How did you first realize the power of this concept?10:01 *Some people might think having an alter ego sounds "fake" or "inauthentic." How would you respond to that? What's the difference between an alter ego and 'faking it till you make it'?10:23 *Can you give us some well-known examples of successful people who have embraced alter egos (like Kobe Bryant's 'Black Mamba' or Beyoncé's 'Sasha Fierce')? Why did it work so well for them?15:56 *You've spoken about mindset and goals before. How does the alter ego concept tie into achieving our goals? Why is this concept so important for anyone aiming for a big 2025?19:44 *A lot of people struggle with fear — fear of making calls, fear of being on video, fear of rejection. How does an alter ego help us push past those fears?23:06 *Some people listening may feel like they're already disciplined. Why would someone who's already successful need an alter ego? Isn't "discipline" enough?26:41 *How do you make your "ceiling your floor" with an alter ego? Can you give us an example of what that means in practice?30:34 *Where do we even start? What's the first step in creating an alter ego? Should we focus on qualities, traits, or something else?34:48 *Is it important to give our alter ego a name, like 'Black Mamba' or 'Sasha Fierce'? How does having a name change the way we see ourselves?37:41 *If I'm not sure what traits I need for my alter ego, how do I figure that out? Should I look at people I admire, or think about my fears and weaknesses?39:07 *What do you say to people who feel silly or embarrassed about this concept? How do we get over that mental block?47:57 *How do I know if my alter ego is working? Should I expect instant results, or is it something I have to practice over time?51:18 *What happens if my alter ego "stops working"? How do I know if I need to evolve it, change it, or create a new one?Thanks for tuning in to this episode of The MindShare PodCast with our special guest - COO - Chris Cameron, as we talked about ' Unleashing Your Alter Ego: How to Crush Fear, Build Confidence, and Achieve Big Goals in 2025'Get your FREE gift on my homepage at www.mindshare101.com just for tuning in!I'd also be really grateful if you could take a quick second to go www.ratethispodcast.com/mindshare101 to rate the show for me.And we haven't connected yet, send me a message!Facebook: facebook.com/mindshare101 Instagram: instagram.com/davidgreenspan101Youtube: youtube.com/@DavidGreenspanLinkedin: linkedin.com/in/mindshare101

With host retail coach Wendy Batten https://wendybatten.com/podcast-intro/ In This Episode: As independent retailers, protecting our stores, staff, and ourselves is always a top priority, right? How do you ensure safety among your staff and yourself - especially when it comes to loss prevention? In this episode of the Creative Shop Talk Podcast, I am sharing practical tips to prevent both external (shoplifting by customers) and internal (staff) theft to ensure your shop stays safe, profitable, and secure for everyone. Here are some of the key takeaways from the episode: Inventory is Money: Every piece of stock represents your revenue and you need to be vigilant about protecting it. Do you have a handle on your inventory? Is your POS up to date? Do you have cameras in place and separation of duties among your employees? Safety First for You and Your Staff: Ensure your team feels safe by having clear protocols for dealing with shoplifters. Never confront them directly—safety is more important than merchandise. Empower staff to trust their instincts and call the police if something feels off. Prioritize their well-being in every situation - do not confront shoplifters, call the police and allow them to handle the situation. Best Practices for Loss Prevention: Engage customers as soon as they enter the shop and ensure visibility in all store areas. Use simple tools like mirrors, security cameras, and clear layouts to reduce theft. Foster a culture of awareness with your team, making sure they know you are paying attention. POS Systems and Inventory Management: Track inventory regularly, audit stock, and ensure employees are aware that it's being monitored. Separation of Duties: Rotate responsibilities for handling cash and inventory to avoid unchecked control. Loss prevention isn't just about protecting your inventory—it's about keeping yourself, your team, and your business safe. By implementing these strategies, you'll reduce risk and ensure a secure environment for everyone. Catch the next episode for tips on end-of-month preparation! Ready to Level Up?

Hearing LossProtect Your Hearing: Insights from the Living The Wildlife Podcast Welcome to another episode of the Living The Wildlife Podcast with wildlife control consultant Stephen Vantassel! This episode delves into a critical aspect of health and safety in the wildlife control and pest management industries: protecting your hearing. Stephen Vantassel shares his personal experiences and expert insights to highlight the importance of hearing protection, ensuring you can maintain your auditory health while working in potentially noisy environments. The Importance of Hearing Protection in Pest Management Stephen Vantassel, a seasoned wildlife control consultant, opens this episode by emphasizing the vital role of adhering to laws and regulations in pest control. He introduces his latest book, the "Vertebrate Pest Handbook, Third Edition," which provides comprehensive information on managing commensal rodents. However, the primary focus of this episode is on a different yet equally crucial topic: protecting your hearing. Stephen Vantassel's Personal Experience with Hearing Loss Stephen shares his personal battle with hearing loss, which stemmed from a combination of ear infections and prolonged exposure to loud noises. His story is not uncommon; statistics show that 15% of American adults report some level of hearing loss, with men being twice as likely to suffer due to occupational exposure. This statistic is particularly relevant for those in the pest management industry, where the use of loud machinery and equipment is routine. Understanding OSHA's Guidelines on Noise Exposure The Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) provides clear guidelines on acceptable noise exposure levels to help protect workers' hearing. According to OSHA, workers should not be exposed to noise levels above 90 decibels (dB) for more than 8 hours per day. As the noise level increases, the permissible exposure time decreases significantly. For instance, exposure to noise at 100 dB should be limited to just 2 hours. Common Sources of Loud Noise in Pest Management Stephen outlines several common sources of loud noise that pest management professionals might encounter, including: Music Players: Prolonged use of high-volume music players can contribute to hearing damage. Chainsaws: Frequently used in wildlife control, chainsaws produce noise levels that can be harmful without proper protection. Jackhammers and Heavy Machinery: These tools are common in construction and pest control and are notorious for their high noise levels. By comparing different noise levels, Stephen underscores the importance of understanding and mitigating the risks associated with prolonged noise exposure. Effective Hearing Protection Measures Protecting your hearing requires proactive planning and the use of appropriate protective measures. Stephen discusses several effective options: Foam Earplugs: These are a cost-effective and widely available option for reducing noise exposure. Custom-Molded Earplugs: Tailored to fit the user's ears, these provide enhanced protection and comfort. Canal Caps: These are convenient and easy to use, offering good protection for shorter periods. Earmuffs: Suitable for high-noise environments, earmuffs provide substantial noise reduction. Stephen advises against using earbuds for hearing protection as they can exacerbate hearing damage instead of preventing it. Planning and Consistency in Hearing Protection Stephen emphasizes the need to plan for noise exposure by preparing the necessary protective equipment and ensuring its consistent use. He reiterates OSHA's emphasis on the actual use of hearing protection, rather than merely having it available. Proper planning involves assessing the noise levels of different tasks and selecting the appropriate protective measures accordingly. Long-Term Health and Preventing Isolation

In this recent edition of Point vs. Counterpoint, TalkLP Host Amber Bradley takes on the value of vendor networking events with two perspectives: Integrator vs. VP of LP Perspective. Here's the background: Recently IPVM ran an article entitled, "Why Integrators 'Need to do better,' Train More, Says Fortune 1000 Security End User" which discussed a perspective from Nicole McDargh, Vice President of Safety and Loss Prevention for Domino's. A subscription is required to read most of her comments but in short her comments took aim at how solution providers are constantly trying to woo their retail/restaurant end-user targets instead of truly understanding their problems and connecting with them on solutions -- NOT "Whiskey and Cigars." After reading the article, Angie Barnes, Executive Vice President of Sales for NAVCO, decided to offer the integrator's perspective by offering her opinion in, "Integrator Explains Bourbon & Cigars Event", again, a subscription is required for viewing the article, however, in short - Angie's opinion explained WHY integrators put on such networking events and believes the strategy is more complicated and nuanced than Nicole earlier explained. TalkLP invited BOTH Nicole and Angie on the podcast with host Amber Bradley to discuss their perspectives face-to-zoom-face! Listen today to get the summary of their perspectives and find out if they can truly achieve common ground on this hotly debated issue!

California State Assembly Speaker Robert Rivas has announced the formation of a new Select Committee on Retail Theft, and has named Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur (D-Hollywood) as Committee Chair. The Select Committee is comprised of bipartisan members from across the state, including from areas most impacted by retail theft. The committee will provide a forum to engage impacted stakeholders – including large retailers, small businesses, criminal justice reform advocates, law enforcement, and representatives of workers and the public – to identify policy solutions to this ongoing crisis.The 11 Committee members are:Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur (D-Hollywood) – Committee ChairAssemblymember Juan Alanis (R-Merced & Stanislaus)Assemblymember David Alvarez (D-San Diego)Assemblymember Mia Bonta (D-Alameda & San Francisco)Assemblymember Vince Fong (R-Kern & Tulare)Assemblymember Matt Haney (D-San Francisco)Assemblymember Kevin McCarty (D-Sacramento)Assemblymember Liz Ortega (D-Alameda)Assemblymember Blanca Pacheco (D-Los Angeles & Orange)Assemblymember Cottie Petrie-Norris (D-Orange)Assemblymember Pilar Schiavo (D-Los Angeles)Retail theft – which encompasses shoplifting, commercial burglary, and commercial robbery– has seen an alarming rise in California, most notably, but not exclusively, in the Bay Area, the Central Valley, and Los Angeles County. Currently, Los Angeles County has the highest rate of commercial robbery, which is a violent crime defined as theft involving the threat or use of force. Commercial burglary has increased statewide, becoming the most common type of retail theft in recent years, and is at its highest rate since 2008. In 2022, Kern, San Francisco, and Fresno experienced the highest rates of commercial burglary, and rates in Fresno, Alameda, and Orange Counties were 50 percent higher than before the pandemic.In 2023, the Governor and Legislature, recognizing the gravity of this issue, awarded the largest-ever single investment to combat organized retail crime in California history — sending over $267 million to 55 cities and counties to increase arrests and prosecutions for organized retail crime. The funding, part of the Governor's Real Public Safety Plan, was dispersed on October 1, 2023, to 34 police departments, 7 sheriffs' departments, one probation department, and 13 district attorney offices to prevent and investigate cases of organized retail theft and arrest and prosecute more suspects. The Select Committee on Retail Theft will review and explore additional policy solutions to address the crisis."Californians have had enough of these smash-and-grab crimes and shameless shoplifting incidents," Speaker Rivas said. "They're appalling and affect everyone. The Assembly understands we must do more to address root causes, protect businesses owners and fight criminal activity. It's my expectation that the Retail Theft select committee will act with focus and urgency.""I applaud and thank Speaker Rivas for prioritizing this important issue," said Assemblymember Rick Chavez Zbur. "We are seeing increasing store closures across the state attributed to shoplifting, as well as commercial burglary and commercial robbery. Widespread retail theft is not only bad for business and a source of shopper inconvenience – it's an issue of safety, and the perception of safety, for workers, business owners, and the public. Speaker Rivas and members of the Assembly are committed to responding with smart and effective solutions to this trend of retail thefts and organized crime, and the Select Committee is ready to get to work."The Select Committee on Retail Theft will convene this fall and continue its work through the 2024 legislative session.
