The Sky Blues second goal in first half time added on killed the game for City. Up to that point, despite tailing to another poorly defended goal, they had played well and with Coventry down to 10 men a draw was perhaps the least City might have expected against the league leaders. It wasn't to be and with the 5 minutes added on already spent Coventry capitalised or more defensive inadequacy to double their lead.Rushworth produced some good saves but Coventry played within themselves, a task made easier when Adam Randell was sent off for a second yellow to make it 10-a-side.Where do City go from here? The play off dream has gone, so too has equalling last season's points total. Maintaining their midtable position is the best City can hope for and that may prove to big an ask.Dave Tovey hosts the discussion with Dave P, Richard Angell & Neil Sutton Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden and neurologist Dr. Majid Fotuhi discuss building an "Invincible Brain." Challenging the myth that cognitive decline is inevitable, Dr. Fotuhi outlines five pillars—exercise, sleep, nutrition, stress management, and brain training, proven to increase brain volume and neuroplasticity. The discussion highlights how racket sports and balance training activate the cerebellum to boost overall function and reduce Alzheimer's risk. By consistently challenging the nervous system, you can shift the aging paradigm, achieving mental sharpness and vitality well into your 80s and 90s.

For this month's episode of Magus we're going Medieval and talking about the one and only Sibyl of the Rhine, Hildegard of Bingen!Born at the tail end of the 11th century, during the religious fervor following the First Crusade, Hildegard was given to an order of Benedictine monks through a pretty strange quirk in the Holy Roman Empire's tax code. Even in infancy however she reported visions of the "Living Light" - a supernatural spiritual phenomenon that revealed to her occult truths about the real ways the Universe functioned.Maintaining the secret of her revelations until the age of 42, she then spent the next four decades writing trance-inducing musical compositions, books of trailblazing philosophy, and the earliest surviving mystery play, as well as overseeing the construction of two convents, arguing with Frederick Barbarossa, becoming the first named female artist in history, and so much more.A pioneering herbologist, crystal healer, and 'White Witch' who sought to heal the cosmos through 'balancing' the individual, did she really commune with the Living Light to enable her discoveries, or was she simply a migraine suffering bookworm who pulled the wool over people's eyes?If so, where did all of her knowledge actually come from, and how much of it has proven to still be scientifically valuable over 800 years after her death?Also, after her music and created language, Lingua Ignota, were rediscovered during the 19th century occult revival, could it be that society is only now catching up with the implications of her work? Loosen your hair, pin on a white silk veil, and lets sing divine arias until we lose consciousness.Either that or just kick back and listen into to the Music of the Spheres, as this is one of those episodes that may just offer you a route to commune with the divine...

Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcastREGISTER FOR THE TALES OF SOUTHERN ENGLAND TOURVisit our website Join our Patreon Social media channels and sponsors Hosted on Acast.

Imagine growing up in a world where energy was real, spirit was part of the conversation, and healing was something passed down through generations. That was my guest, Barbara Savin's world. In this episode, Barbara shares the powerful influence of her two grandmothers and how they shaped the path she walks today. One was a natural healer. The other lived a life of service. Between the two of them, Barbara absorbed something rare – a deep knowing that life is more than what you can see. From Brooklyn to Spiritual Awakening Raised in Brooklyn, Barbara's journey from highly sensitive child to certified hypnotherapist and spiritual life coach is layered, human, and surprisingly relatable. She didn't just inherit mystical gifts. She had to wrestle with them. And that's where it gets interesting. Barbara grew up in a time when anything spiritual was dismissed as “woo-woo.” Even with two spiritually attuned grandmothers, the outside world didn't validate what she felt. Her own mother was skeptical and often dismissive of Barbara's intuitive experiences, which created a deep inner conflict. Imagine being a sensitive child who feels everything and senses emotion in a room instantly, and then being told it's not real. That tension stayed with her for years. She often felt caught between two worlds, the practical Brooklyn life around her and the invisible energetic world humming just beneath the surface. It wasn't until her 30s, when her own health challenges brought her to a breaking point, that she stopped resisting what she already knew. Sometimes life nudges you. Sometimes it pushes. Her health crisis became a doorway. Returning to energy healing wasn't just about improving her physical well-being. It required emotional, mental, and spiritual recalibration. She had to come home to herself. By reclaiming her intuitive gifts, she regained her health and stepped into her true purpose. And here's the thing I love about Barbara's story. It's the unfolding of someone finally trusting what had always been there. Healing Amidst Trauma One of the most moving periods of her life came after 9/11. Her husband and son managed to escaped harm that day and the enormous relief and gratitude she felt pushed her into service. When invited to help with first responders she jumped at the chance. She worked in the Salvation Army tent on Staten Island, assisting first responders with their healing. Working with firefighters and others who were deeply traumatized changed her understanding of healing forever. Trauma doesn't just live in the mind. It becomes embedded in the body and ripples through the nervous system. It lingers in the energy field and touches the spirit. You don't just “get over” something like that. Healing trauma, she realized, is a return to safety on every level. Physical, emotional, energetic, and spiritual. It requires presence and compassion, and simply can't be rushed. Protect Your Energy Her work during that time cemented what she already sensed as a child. You are more than your physical body, and real healing must include the unseen layers of who you are. That brings us to something we both feel strongly about: protect your energy. Barbara credits her grandmother's teachings about stepping into God's light as foundational. It's a simple but powerful image. You consciously surround yourself with light and set an intention that only love flows in and out. That's a beautiful example of energetic hygiene. Just as you brush your teeth and care for your physical body, you must tend to your energetic well-being. Barbara emphasizes daily practices like meditation, gratitude, and clear boundaries. Her methods are grounded and practical. Part of this is to be discerning about who you spend time with. You can feel the difference between someone who lifts you and someone who drains you. Your body and your energy know. She encourages you to notice who feels expansive and who feels heavy? Maintaining healthy boundaries isn't selfish. It's emotionally intelligent and preserves your vitality. Positivity Secrets When I asked Barbara about her secrets to handling the decades  with grace and vibrancy, her answer wasn't complicated. Gratitude and meditation anchor her. Every morning she takes time to reflect on what she's thankful for. Even during seasons of challenge, including her husband's health battles, she returns to presence and appreciation. Gratitude, in her view, isn't a forced positive attitude. Instead, its about alignment and it  shifts your energy field. This is how you recalibrate your nervous system. A grateful heart  reminds you that life is still offering gifts, even when circumstances feel uncertain. That practice keeps her light strong. Embrace Your Spiritual Path Barbara's journey is ultimately about listening to the inner voice that refuses to go away. The one that whispers when something looks good on paper but feels wrong in your body. The one that nudges you back toward your true path no matter how long you've ignored it. She chose to honor that voice, despite skepticism and convention. And in doing so, she built a life of fulfillment and service. There's something comforting about that. No matter how far you wander, your path is still there. Waiting, patient, and unmoved. Get Barbara's beautiful free meditation called “The Garden of Life,” which guides you through a gentle inner landscape of healing and self-discovery. It's an invitation to reconnect with your own energy and remember that the answers you seek are not outside of you. I love Barbara's message of accepting who you are, trusting your sensitivity, and honoring your intuitive gifts. You can always choose light and gratitude even after trauma. Her life is proof that when you embrace your spiritual nature and treat your energy with respect, you grow and find love, joy, and satisfaction. And if you've ever wondered whether your own intuitive nudges are real, whether that quiet inner knowing deserves your trust, Barbara's story feels like a gentle but clear answer. Yes, it does. BIO -Barbara Savin Barbara Savin is an author, energy healing specialist, certified hypnotherapist, and spiritual life coach.  Raised in Brooklyn and shaped by both life's challenges and spiritual awakening, Barbara blends real-world strength with deep intuitive wisdom. She is the author of Help Me, I Am Not Crazy, They Are: How to Survive Challenging People, Gentle Energy Touch, The Beginner's Guide to Hands-On Healing and Awaken Your Best Self with Affirmations and host of The Spiritual Warrior Coach Podcast. Her work at the California Health & Longevity Institute at the Four Seasons Hotel in Westlake Village, along with her collaboration with respected physician Dr. Sharon Norling, earned her national recognition for thoughtfully integrating modern wellness practices with ancient energy-based healing techniques Following the events of 9/11, Barbara volunteered her healing services to first responders, offering emotional support and energy work to assist them in processing trauma and restoring resilience during the difficult years that followed.

SUMMARY: In this episode, Aaron and Terryn Turner unpack why Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) matter, even though they're not the most exciting part of running a business. They explain how SOPs protect teams from knowledge gaps when someone is unavailable, reduce chaos during handoffs, and increase a company's long-term value—especially when preparing for growth or a potential sale. The hosts emphasize that well-documented processes make work repeatable, reduce risk, and allow others to step in with confidence. They also walk through what makes a strong SOP: a clear goal, required tools and access, step-by-step instructions, and short walkthrough videos paired with checklists. The conversation covers practical ways to store and use SOPs (like tying them into task management tools), auditing them annually so they don't go stale, and building an ongoing "playbook" by having teams document a few critical processes each quarter. The takeaway: start small, be consistent, and treat SOPs as compounding operational leverage for your business.   Minute By Minute:  00:00 Introduction to SOPs and Their Importance 02:49 Creating Effective SOPs 05:26 Utilizing SOPs in Daily Operations 07:55 Maintaining and Auditing SOPs 10:50 Building a Playbook for Your Business

Pressure is an undeniable reality for anyone in sales. High-stakes meetings, critical pitches, and tough negotiations are daily occurrences. While some thrive, others falter.    This week, I'm joined by communication expert, keynote speaker, and bestselling author Dominic Colenso for a conversation on how to excel in high-pressure sales situations. Drawing from his experience as a professional actor and performance coach, Dominic shares why communication often breaks down under pressure, shares practical strategies for staying calm and present, and explains how salespeople can turn pressure into a tool for greater impact.   Outline of This Episode   [0:00] Presence enhances performance [04:11] Learning about being in the moment from Bill Nighy [06:49] Staying grounded using breath and posture [12:32] Engagement tips for virtual Meetings [15:36] Maintaining confidence in presentations [17:50] Authenticity in leadership communication Where Communication Breaks Down   According to Dominic Colenso, one of a salesperson's biggest barriers to great communication under pressure is the tendency to focus too much on themselves—overloading the conversation with product features and personal knowledge. Instead, successful communicators make it about the audience. Failing to address the listener's needs, challenges, and expectations leads to disengagement, especially when seconds count.   How Pressure Affects Performance   Pressure can enhance or distort our performance. The key is being in the moment. Drawing from his acting career, Dominic stresses the importance of grounding yourself and resisting distractions. Real presence enables adaptability and focus, even as adrenaline surges and the stakes rise.   He shares his experience of learning from actor Bill Nighy, who demonstrated how energy could be switched from relaxation to intense focus. It's not the showmanship that matters, but laser-sharp concentration—this is what makes a real difference in critical moments.   What Top Performers Do Differently   When under pressure, top salespeople slow down rather than speed up. The biological urge to accelerate, driven by adrenaline, can cause premature responses and missed cues. But elite performers take their time and resist the temptation to rush. Pausing and breathing provides time to think clearly and gives clients a sense of being truly heard. Control and composure transform stressful encounters into meaningful dialogue.   Creating Calm Without Overcontrol   Confidence is often mistaken for control. Dominic advises focusing not only on what you say but also on how your body feels and behaves under stress. Simple physical grounding—placing both feet evenly on the floor, steadying your breath, avoiding fidgeting—can decrease stress hormones and boost confidence. This physiological reset helps you think more clearly and remain authentically present, even in tough meetings.   Preparation is essential: pattern these habits before walking into high-stakes rooms by practicing in everyday scenarios. Muscle memory built in casual contexts will kick in when it matters most.   The Power of Simplicity   For sales professionals preparing for a big meeting, Dominic recommends one immediate tactic: simplify your message. Think about your audience and distill your communication into a headline. Support this headline with just three core ideas. When conversation feels streamlined and relevant, clients are more likely to lean in than tune out. Overwhelming clients with information risks confusion; clarity inspires engagement.   Virtual Selling Brings New Pressures   Virtual meetings bring different challenges, such as reduced engagement and fewer non-verbal cues. Dominic encourages adopting a "Netflix box set" approach by breaking lengthy pitches into shorter, interactive sessions. Every virtual meeting should have a clear beginning, middle, and end, with regular opportunities for dialogue. Ask questions frequently to keep clients involved and gauge comprehension.   Whether delivering a scripted pitch or responding on the fly, authenticity wins. Rehearse aloud, adapt the message to your style, and add personal touches. The more you show up as yourself, the more your audience connects and responds.

Scaling an advisory firm is often framed as a tradeoff - more clients and complexity in exchange for less time and flexibility. This episode explores how advisors can grow in a way that protects the lifestyle they want. Andy Panko is the owner of Tenon Financial, an RIA based in Metuchen, New Jersey, that oversees $323 million in assets under management for 105 client households. He joins the show today to share why he chose to hire two additional advisors (even though his solo practice already met his lifestyle goals), as well as why he prioritized hiring mid-career professionals who could operate independently and stay for the long haul. We also discuss how his flat-fee model makes it easier to evaluate the time-and-revenue tradeoffs of adding clients, paying competitive salaries, and growing the team, as well as how he fuels a steady prospect flow through content creation, combats the loneliness of a small remote firm, and has adjusted his workload across seasons of life to be able to focus on his highest priorities.

Travis Chappell delivers a solo masterclass on building a powerful personal brand and network using his proprietary ACT method (Attention, Credibility, Trust), drawn from over 1,600 podcast episodes, hundreds of books, and years of real-world experience in content creation and online marketing. On this episode we talk about: The ACT framework: A = Attention, C = Credibility, T = Trust—and why trust equals transactions. How Travis engineered his own Forbes feature by interviewing the author and networking strategically. Why "best known beats best" and attention is the foundation where money flows every time. Building credibility through high-profile associations (like big-name podcast guests) over one-off media mentions. Maintaining trust by overdelivering on every sale, even small ones, to boost lifetime customer value. Top 3 Takeaways 1. Get attention first—post content relentlessly because every post is a lottery ticket that could explode your reach. 2. Credibility comes from associating with known experts; it's harder than media hits but moves the needle more. 3. Trust must be continually earned through overdelivery, since one bad experience can kill repeat business forever. Notable Quotes "If you're an online marketer and you're not coming up with methods and cool acronyms, then you're not really a marketer." "Best known beats best. You're the best kept secret in your field... but nobody knows that you exist." "Where there's attention, that's where money goes. Attention is where the money flows. 100% of the time." "Every post is a lottery ticket. You never know what's going to be the thing that actually takes off." "The question you should be asking yourself is not does this convert? But does this continue to earn me trust?"

Joy to the World | The Strength Found in God's Joy In this Sunday message, the focus is on the biblical meaning of joy and why it is essential to the spiritual strength of every believer The sermon begins with the announcement of Jesus' birth in Luke 2, where the angel declares “good tidings of great joy which will be to all people.” This joy is not limited to a holiday or a season—it is a gift God offers to the entire world through the coming of Christ. True joy begins when a person recognizes their need for a Savior and receives the salvation that Jesus provides. Throughout Scripture, God makes it clear that believers are meant to live in joy. Romans teaches that the kingdom of God is “righteousness, peace, and joy in the Holy Spirit.” Jesus Himself explains in John 15 that when believers abide in Him—remaining in His Word and obeying His commands—His joy remains in them and their joy becomes full. The message emphasizes that joy is not merely a feeling but a spiritual strength. When joy is lost, believers become spiritually weaker, making it harder to pray, read Scripture, or stay focused on God. Many of the struggles Christians face today stem from allowing distractions, worries, and the “cares of this life” to crowd their minds and rob them of their joy. The sermon also highlights how the world is discovering what Scripture has always taught: what we surround ourselves with influences our lives. Constant distractions, media overload, and negative influences create mental “traffic” that crowds out the Word of God and slowly drains joy from the heart. Believers are therefore called to be intentional about guarding their hearts and minds. Our character is shaped by what we tolerate, repeat, and prioritize. Maintaining joy requires choosing God's truth over worldly influences and keeping our minds fixed on Him. The message concludes with a powerful reminder from Nehemiah 8:10: “The joy of the Lord is your strength.” Joy strengthens believers to endure trials, resist discouragement, and remain faithful in difficult times. Like the early church, Christians can maintain joy even in hardship because their hope is rooted in God's promises and eternal purpose. Key Takeaway Joy is not optional for the believer—it is a source of spiritual strength. By remaining in Christ, guarding our minds, and focusing on God's Word, we can maintain the joy that empowers us to live faithfully in every circumstance.

Most people don't fail at life because they weren't smart enough or talented enough. They struggle because no one ever gave them the ground rules. Twelve years of school, and rarely does anyone sit you down and say: here is how you build a life that doesn't quietly fall apart on you. That's what this episode is about.**The Foundations: Money That Doesn't Wreck You**The first two ground rules are financial, and they're not complicated — they're just unpopular. Don't carry consumer debt, and live below your means. Consumer debt is a quiet life-wrecker: invisible in the moment, compounding in the background. The gap between what you earn and what you spend is where real freedom lives. It's not about being cheap — it's about being intentional. Lifestyle inflation is real, and resisting it is how you actually get ahead.**Protect Your Health Before It Drifts**Your body is the vehicle for everything you do — your energy, your relationships, your ability to show up. And most people don't feel the consequences of their health decisions until they're deep into them. Maintaining your health is dramatically easier than rebuilding it. The ground rule is simple: don't be perfect, but don't let things get too far gone. Move, sleep, eat real food, get checkups.**The Drift Principle**Most of life's biggest problems aren't sudden events — they're slow drifts that go unnoticed until they become a crisis. You don't wake up $40,000 in debt one day. You don't suddenly have a broken marriage. You drift there, one small decision at a time. Understanding the drift principle changes how you read your own life. Small corrections are cheap. Big corrections are expensive — in time, money, and sometimes relationships you can't fully recover.**Audits, Compasses & Enough**Doing regular life audits — even a simple one with coffee and a journal twice a year — keeps the drift visible before it becomes irreversible. Having a compass (knowing where you actually want to go and what's non-negotiable) protects you from ending up wherever the wind takes you. And knowing what "enough" looks like for you personally keeps you from trading things that actually matter for things that won't satisfy.**Personal Principles & the Long Game**Three to five personal principles — not a long list, just a short one that you genuinely live by — become the needle on your compass when everything else is uncertain. And underneath all of it is the long game: small steps, done consistently, that compound over time. The person who exercises three times a week for twenty years is a different physical being than the person who does it sporadically. Consistency beats intensity every time.Pick one area today and ask yourself honestly: am I drifting? You don't have to fix everything. You just need to notice it.Jill's Linkshttp://jillfromthenorthwoods.comhttps://www.youtube.com/@startwithsmallstepshttps://www.buymeacoffee.com/startwithsmallstepshttps://twitter.com/schmernEmail the podcast at jill@startwithsmallsteps.comBy choosing to watch this video or listen to this podcast, you acknowledge that you are doing so of your own free will.

Most people spend significant time planning how to build wealth, but far fewer consider how their family would access that wealth if something unexpected happened. For Americans living in Israel who maintain U.S. brokerage or retirement accounts, that question can be more complex than it appears. The challenge usually involves authority, documentation, and cross-border procedures. From the outside, U.S. accounts often appear unchanged after someone relocates to Israel. Statements arrive, online access continues, and the accounts seem stable. That familiarity can create comfort, but it can also hide administrative challenges that surface during estate transitions. When inheritance meets two legal systems Inheritance is often assumed to be simple. A relative passes away, assets transfer to heirs, and accounts continue under new ownership. Cross-border estates rarely follow that pattern. Consider a common situation. A son lives in Israel while his parent maintains brokerage accounts in the United States. The parent passes away and the will names the son as the heir.  From the son's perspective, the next step seems straightforward. Notify the financial institution, submit documentation, and transfer the accounts. Instead, access to the accounts often stops immediately after the parent's death. Financial institutions typically freeze accounts once they receive notification. This step protects assets and ensures that only properly authorized individuals can act. At that point, the focus shifts from who should inherit the assets to who has legal authority to act on behalf of the estate. That distinction frequently creates confusion. Family expectations often rely on intent. Legal systems rely on documentation and verification. When required paperwork is incomplete or delayed, inheritance can slow significantly. Beneficiary designations and wills Many retirement and brokerage accounts use beneficiary designations on their retirement accounts. When completed correctly and kept current, they normally allow assets to transfer directly to heirs without probate. Financial institutions still require verification before releasing assets. But regular brokerage accounts don't usually have the possibility of a beneficiary designation. "What about transfer-on-death accounts (TOD)?" you might ask. If the account owner and heirs all live in the United States, that might work, but for people who live overseas, the TOD may not work and the brokerage firms may require a probated will. Probate is the court-supervised process that confirms who has legal authority to inherit assets. Depending on jurisdiction and estate complexity, it can take considerable time and delay account access. Power of attorney can create misunderstandings. While it may allow someone to manage accounts during a person's lifetime, that authority generally ends at death. Even if a family member previously helped manage accounts, that control disappears once the account holder passes away. Online account logins do not replace legal authority and continued use after death can create additional complications. Additional documentation cross-border families often face Cross-border inheritance frequently introduces procedural steps that families do not anticipate. Documents may require notarization, apostilles, or translation. Financial institutions may request tax clearance before releasing assets. Communication often involves multiple time zones and unfamiliar regulatory processes. Each requirement exists for protective and regulatory reasons. Financial institutions must verify identity, confirm authority, and comply with legal obligations. For families managing responsibilities from another country, the administrative process can still feel overwhelming. Many individuals assume that having a will resolves these challenges. A will remains an important estate planning document, but it functions within the legal system where it was created. When heirs live abroad, additional validation steps may still be required. Why inheritance paperwork often continues after assets transfer Inheritance rarely ends when accounts transfer. It often unfolds in stages that may include estate administration, account restructuring, and tax considerations across multiple countries. In the United States, estate taxes may apply depending on estate size and applicable thresholds. In Israel, receiving inherited assets may create reporting obligations depending on the circumstances. If inherited investments are later sold, capital gains rules in one or both countries may apply. Retirement accounts such as IRAs can introduce further complexity. Required minimum distributions may create ongoing reporting responsibilities and potential taxable events based on the heir's individual situation.

Each situation involves unique factors and should be reviewed with qualified professionals. Planning that may help reduce future delays Cross-border estate planning does not eliminate complexity, but it can reduce uncertainty and help coordinate financial, legal, and administrative processes. Families who experience smoother inheritance transitions often share several habits. They periodically review beneficiary designations to confirm they reflect current intentions. They maintain organized records of accounts, financial institutions, and contact details. They revisit estate planning documents after relocating to Israel to confirm the structure remains effective. When planning evolves alongside life changes, families often encounter fewer unexpected administrative obstacles. Practical steps that may improve preparedness Americans living in Israel who maintain U.S. investment accounts may benefit from several foundational steps. Maintaining a consolidated list of accounts can help family members identify financial institutions and contact details if needed. Reviewing beneficiary designations can help confirm retirement accounts align with estate planning goals. Discussing financial account access with family members may help clarify who should contact financial institutions and which documentation may be required. These steps do not eliminate every challenge, but they may reduce uncertainty and help families navigate complex situations more effectively.

After 35+ years of closing deals across industries, Corey Kupfer shares the practical strategies that separate deals that close from deals that die in the final stretch. This remastered solocast from the early days of DealQuest delivers timeless advice on getting deals across the finish line. In this solocast episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer breaks down the critical factors that determine whether your deal actually closes or falls apart at the last minute. Drawing from decades of experience as an M&A attorney, entrepreneur, and dealmaker, Corey addresses the mental traps, preparation gaps, and emotional triggers that derail otherwise successful transactions. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover why mentally closing a deal before it actually closes is the biggest mistake dealmakers make, and how "spending the money in your mind" sabotages your focus and negotiating position. Corey explains the concept of pre-due diligence and why preparation before the LOI stage prevents deals from falling apart during buyer scrutiny. You'll learn how to identify your true bottom line and get total clarity on what's acceptable and what's not. The episode covers how ego and emotional attachment blow deals that would otherwise succeed, the strategic balance of bringing in key stakeholders while maintaining confidentiality, and how to keep deal momentum alive through consistent engagement with your professional team. WHY DEALS DIE: Most deals don't fall apart because of bad terms or major due diligence discoveries. They fall apart because someone mentally checked out too early. The moment you sign the LOI and start treating the deal as done, you stop focusing on the critical work still required. You stop keeping your due diligence clean. You stop maintaining pace. You stop staying hungry for the close. The other side senses this shift, issues arise that could have been managed, and momentum dies. PRE-DUE DILIGENCE PREPARATION: One of the best ways to ensure deals close is preparation that happens before negotiations even heat up. If you're selling your company, experienced advisors know what buyers will examine. If you're raising capital, they know what investors will scrutinize. The goal is to be fully prepared and looking great before their team starts asking questions. Many deals fall apart during due diligence because sellers haven't done this preparation work. When there's smoke, buyers think there's fire. One issue makes them worry about ten others they haven't found yet. TRUE BOTTOM LINE CLARITY: This connects to a fundamental negotiating principle from Corey's Authentic Negotiating book. You need total clarity on exactly what's acceptable and what's not acceptable to you. When things shift unexpectedly, whether the economy changes, due diligence reveals issues, a key employee leaves, or you lose a major client, that foundation of clarity determines whether you navigate the disruption or let it derail everything. If you don't know your true bottom line, these disruptions can easily prevent you from ever reaching closing. MANAGING EGO AND ATTACHMENT: As deals progress, watch for ego and emotional attachment on both sides. When the other party raises issues close to closing, you need clarity to analyze whether those issues actually matter versus reacting because you feel triggered. Sometimes people blow deals not because the terms became unacceptable, but because they got tired, frustrated, or insulted. Don't let triggering emotions destroy a deal that could be very good or lucrative for you. STAKEHOLDER ALIGNMENT: Deals can fail at the last minute because the principals assume alignment that doesn't exist. They go to key employees, minority owners, or investors expecting buy-in and discover it isn't there. The balance between confidentiality and getting necessary stakeholder alignment requires strategic thinking. Especially if you're selling your company, you have to weigh not being seen as "in play" on the marketplace and not having employees get spooked against the risk of bringing key folks in too late. MAINTAINING MOMENTUM: Work closely with your team and professionals to keep the pace of the deal moving forward. Deals die when people lose interest or momentum simply fades. Consistent engagement, timely responses to information requests, and staying available to work through inevitable issues keeps deals on track. Perfect for business owners preparing to sell, executives pursuing acquisitions, entrepreneurs raising capital, and anyone involved in transactions who wants to understand why deals succeed or fail in the final stretch.

In this episode, Helen and I unpack the uncomfortable truth about manipulation in coaching and personal growth. From authority claims and social proof to trauma bonding, love bombing, and cult-like dynamics, we explore how influence can quietly become coercion. We look at red flags - dependency on the teacher, blocked disagreement, emotional state manipulation, endless upselling - and also the subtler traps like vague language, borrowed authority, and identity-based pressure. We also talk about green flags: teachers who evolve, encourage challenge, build self-trust, and genuinely want students to outgrow them. This isn't about attacking the coaching industry - we're part of it. It's about discernment. Whether you're a coach, leader, or client, this conversation will help you spot unhealthy dynamics and build integrity into your work.

Jim Peeler lives in Hickory, a small city in North Carolina's foothills. He and his wife, Diana, have two adult children who both live in the mountains of western NC, and one grandson. Jim is a financial controller for a logistics company.Jim has just passed his two-year anniversary of fasting on February 1, 2026. This past year, Jim has completed his first year of maintenance and offers great insight in this episode. Now 65 years old, Jim has struggled with weight issues at least since the 5th grade of elementary school, at theage of ten. He has lost hundreds of pounds over the years, using various methods, but has always regained even more once the diet ended. The hope is that intermittent fasting will hold the key to finally losing significant weight for good. Looking back, Jim realises that over his life he had reached a tipping point roughly every 10 years that prompted him to start a serious weight-loss attempt, with numerous attempts in between that never lasted very long. Jim was successful at losing weight in these serious attempts, shedding more and more pounds each time, but the diet rollercoaster led him to heavier weights with each try until he reached a maximum weight of 245 pounds in late 2018. And at only 5 feet, 4 inches, he was seriously morbidly obese. Through 2019 and 2020, he successfully reached150 pounds through calorie reduction and walking, but by 2024, he had once again risen to 215 pounds following a job change and the loss of his mother, among other stressful situations. He had heard of intermittent fasting some time before, but had never seriously considered it until he decided to give it a try in February 2024. Since then, he has lived a fasting lifestyle and is on the path to long-term maintenance, thanks to intermittent fasting. Graeme's Links to connect with me directly. Come and Join Our Patreon Community At the Link Belowwww.patreon.com/thefastinghighway.Come for a month or stay for a year, check it out, and get all the content.
