Editor, director, and producer Whit Conway explains how the Hulu comedy Never Change! was assembled on an unusually compressed post-production schedule. He discusses cutting scenes while production was still underway, building an organized Adobe Premiere Pro workflow, using searchable transcripts to locate alternate performances, and collaborating with director and co-editor Marty Schousboe. Conway also shares how constant iteration shapes comedy, why editors cannot become precious about an early cut, and how aspiring comedy filmmakers can create the work they want to be hired to make. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Whit Conway discuss... How Whit's previous collaborations with director Marty Schousboe led to Never Change! Why the film's budget and delivery schedule required editing to begin during production Completing an initial assembly within a week of production wrapping Applying lessons from the fast-paced editorial workflows of Saturday Night Live and Joe Pera Talks With You Organizing footage into scene sequences and line-by-line collections of every performance How front-loading editorial organization saves time when producers request alternate takes Treating the first cut as a strong starting point rather than a version that must be protected Adjusting individual jokes by only a few frames and testing different reaction shots Preserving previous versions of scenes without formally tracking every editorial change Recognizing when a joke needs more work versus when the filmmakers have simply watched it too many times Using Premiere Pro's searchable speech-to-text transcripts to find improvised lines and specific takes Collaborating with directors who edit and directors who communicate their ideas conceptually Why strong directors know what they want while remaining open to better ideas from collaborators Managing creative disagreements, competing producer notes, and compressed deadlines How walks and time away from the edit room can help collaborators reset Why budget limitations ultimately determine when the filmmakers must put their pencils down Building a comedy-editing career by making long-form work, studying classic comedies, and creating projects with friends Treating unpaid personal projects as “extra credit” that can lead to new professional opportunities Memorable Quotes: “It is just my job to put the first version of the moment together as fast as I can and also be tickled by it.” “I think great directors do a couple of things. One, I think they know what they want. They know what the moment should be. Two, they are open and willing to see other versions of that moment.” “I think you don't have to have all the answers all the time.” “People understand you and know you through the work that you have done, that they have seen you do.” Guests: Whit Conway Resources: Watch Never Change! on Hulu Whit Conway's Website Adobe Premiere Speech to Text How These SNL Editors Cut an Emmy-Nominated Sketch With 60+ VFX Shots in 2 Days Cutting Comedy: Inside the Edit of Saturday Night Live's 50th Anniversary Field Producing on Last Week Tonight & Tackling Vimeo's EU/UK Problem Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

In this Podcast Extra, Join John as he answers a wide range of grower-submitted questions covering challenges in agriculture. The discussion focuses on managing high summer leaf temperatures, optimizing organic nitrogen budgets, and navigating severe base saturation imbalances. John emphasizes the critical connection between precise crop nutrition, active soil biology, and the natural suppression of destructive diseases and pests. Other topics discussed include: Managing nutrition and the microbiome through AEA's integrated approach to help achieve crop resistance to spotted wing drosophila in berries. Reducing pecan scab and weevil pressure by balancing trace minerals and applying AEA products like Pinion and PhotoMag. Evaluating plant metabolism and internal health by measuring sugar levels, EC, and pH/EH homeostasis on a sap analysis. Managing almond bloom diseases and pests like navel orange worm using AEA's Pinion alongside targeted applications of calcium and boron. Executing safe foliar applications of solubilized urea by managing overall solution concentration and electrolyte levels to prevent crop leaf burn. Improving late-season calcium absorption in fruit crops through soil shading and foliar boron applications.  Pre-blending AEA nutritional products before spraying to create a synergistic response because the formulations are designed to support living biology. Addressing insect pests like the apple borer using a foliar combination of AEA's PhotoMag, Rejuvenate, and Rebound Boron. Mitigating crop damage from herbicide drift using AEA products like SeaStim, MacroPak, MicroPak, HoloCal, and Rebound minerals to bind chelating herbicide molecules. Utilizing micronized mineral products like AEA's Accelerate and HoloCal to deliver fast results as leaf-surface microbes rapidly metabolize the minerals. Generating disproportionate crop responses in soil by fertigating and feeding rhizosphere microbes with the same consistency as foliar feeding. Increasing lipid levels in pasture forage through adequate soil levels of calcium, sulfur, and boron combined with strategic grazing management. Understanding how high sodium and chloride accumulation distorts refractometer brix readings by inflating total dissolved solids rather than indicating pure sugar content.

Welcome to our first-ever solo episode with host Amanda Goetz! With an impressive career trajectory that spans roles at big corporations, startups, and as an author, Amanda offers invaluable insights into navigating the professional world in this big-sister-style coffee chat. She pulls from her own career path (Ernst & Young → celebrity wedding planner → startup founder → The Knot → CMO at Reale Actives) to give you real, tactical advice on annual reviews, one-on-ones, burnout, job searching, and more.  Consider this your permission slip to stop white-knuckling your career on your own.  Got a question for a future episode? Send it to @girlboss or @theamandagoetz on Instagram. 00:00 Intro 01:43 Amanda's career journey 03:46 What she'd tell herself during the hardest year of her life 04:40 Her go-to career book recommendation 05:12 How to make the most of one-on-ones with your manager 06:56 Balancing your own opinions with your team's ideas as a leader 10:04 Returning to work after a year-long maternity leave 11:22 How to prepare for your annual review 14:56 Redesigning your career mid-life 17:38 How to know when it's time to leave a job 20:25 Falling back in love with your work 22:51 How to work with someone you don't get along with 24:37 Staying organized (and sane) as a business owner 26:41 Staying motivated during a tough job search 27:36 Managing email and outreach anxiety 28:56 Getting your manager to notice how much you're doing 30:00 Balancing all the hats marketers have to wear 31:31 Outro Key Takeaways Use the "start, stop, continue" framework in every one-on-one—it turns feedback into something structured, not confrontational. Build a weekly "operating rhythm," so your team always knows when to bring you ideas. Send a "managing up Monday" email each week: top wins, focus areas, and shout-outs. Visibility trumps ability. Before an annual review, translate your work into business terms your boss can repeat to their boss. Career changes don't need to be justified in hindsight—just take the next step with the best info you have. Confront conflict directly instead of triangulating through other people. "Focus and finish": pick two priorities a day instead of running an endless to-do list. Networking should start long before you need it—keep a running list of contacts and stay in touchGUEST LINKS Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/ Book: https://bookshop.org/a/116169/9781464233258  https://www.amandagoetz.com/  FOLLOW THE PODCAST IG: https://www.instagram.com/girlboss/  TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@girlboss  Amanda Goetz: https://www.instagram.com/theamandagoetz/  https://girlboss.com/pages/ambition-2-0-podcast  SIGN UP  Subscribe to the Girlboss Daily newsletter: https://newsletter.girlboss.com/   For all other Girlboss links: https://linkin.bio/girlboss/  ABOUT AMBITION 2.0  Powered by Girlboss, Ambition 2.0 is a podcast where we'll be exploring what it really means to "have it all" in work, family, identity, and self… and if it's actually worth it.

A profitable med spa can still be hard to scale, and even harder to sell. When the owner is responsible for every major decision, key patient relationships, team oversight, and day-to-day problem solving, the business carries more risk than the financials may initially show.  In this episode, I sit down with Annie Robertson Hockey, president of Skytale Group, to talk about what makes a medical aesthetics or wellness practice more valuable over time. We cover owner dependence, scalable systems, clean financial reporting, revenue concentration, team incentives, and the operational work that gives practice owners more options as they grow.  A Valuable Practice Can't Depend on One Person  Many practice owners become the center of the business without realizing how difficult that makes the next stage of growth. They approve the decisions, solve the team problems, manage important relationships, and step in whenever something breaks. That may work for a period of time, but eventually the owner becomes the bottleneck.  Start paying attention to where the practice still relies heavily on you. Which decisions come back to your desk? Which patients only want to see you? What happens when you take a week off? Those questions matter whether you are thinking about a future exit, adding locations, or simply trying to create more space in your own role.  From a buyer's perspective, owner dependence is risk. From an operator's perspective, it also limits how much the practice can handle without adding more stress at the top.  Build Systems Before Growth Exposes the Gaps  A process that works for one location or a small team may fall apart at twice the volume. Practice owners need to look ahead and ask whether the current operation could support two, five, or even 10 times the activity without creating chaos.  That means taking a closer look at the parts of the business that affect consistency, risk, and repeatability:  Reduce dependence on a single provider, location, treatment, or revenue stream  Document the operational systems that drive consistent patient experiences  Track where new patients come from instead of relying on assumptions about marketing performance  Build HR and sales processes that can function without constant owner involvement  Review key performance indicators over time instead of reacting to isolated monthly results  Automate repetitive processes when technology can improve consistency and reduce administrative burden  Assign clear ownership to major functions across the team  Pick an area that is creating friction, give it focused attention, and improve the process before moving on to the next one. A quarter spent strengthening one important function can be far more productive than trying to fix 10 things at the same time.  (00:07:54) Framework for expansion and exit (00:10:25) Building enterprise value (00:16:48) Thinking in scalable systems (00:20:37) Managing revenue concentration risk (00:24:44) Defining clean financial data and metrics (00:37:20) Tying incentives to controllable actions (00:42:51) Managing HR and sales processes  Your Financial Reports Should Help You Explain the Business  Clean financials are not just about accurate bookkeeping. You should be able to look at your reports, identify the major trends, and explain what is driving the numbers. A buyer will want to understand whether growth came from a stronger marketing cohort, a new provider, one unusually productive location, a change in treatment mix, or something else entirely. You should want that same clarity as the owner. Without it, you are making decisions based on a snapshot instead of understanding how the business is actually changing.  This is where trend analysis and a focused set of key performance indicators become useful. Track the metrics that help you make decisions, review them consistently, and stop collecting data simply because you can. More reporting does not automatically create better management.  The Team Has to Be Able to Carry More of the Business  Scaling exposes team issues that are easier to work around when the practice is smaller. Hiring, training, performance management, HR processes, and incentive plans all need more structure once the owner can no longer oversee every interaction. Pay particular attention to incentives. Employees should be rewarded for outcomes they can actually influence, with clear expectations and measurable responsibilities behind the plan.   As the practice matures, capable leaders, documented processes, reliable financials, and a team that can operate without constant owner involvement make the business easier to expand, easier for a buyer to evaluate, and less dependent on you.

Dry mouth is more than an inconvenience. It can affect eating, speaking, sleeping, oral health, and overall quality of life, but identifying the cause isn't always straightforward. In this episode, Dr. Hayley Vatcher, an Oral Medicine Specialist, joins Dr. Grant Stucki to explain how oral surgeons can better recognize, diagnose, and manage salivary gland disorders.

Rachel is the founder of The Boy Mom Academy, where she helps moms raise strong-willed boys to be kind, calm, and cooperative. She works with families and leaders to build better relationships, reduce stress, and create realistic systems that work. And today she's giving us a window into the way SHE works. And I can't wait for you to be a fly on the wall for this one.

If you've ever stared at a blank page wondering what to write about, this one's for you.-- This weeks show is brought you by signaturestudio.me --This week I'm back with my friend Rachel Extance, an award-winning blogger and one of the best thinkers I know on how to make complicated things simple. We first spoke years ago about blogging. This time the conversation goes much further - AI, opinions, personal brand, and what happens when your content starts living in too many places at once.If you're a leader, consultant, coach or founder trying to build authority, this gives you a proper structure for what to say and where to say it.✳️ The imagination gap - Rachel's "editorial expansion prism" splits your business into five areas: identity and purpose, updates and activity, knowledge and insights, work and projects, and community and participation. Look there first and you'll never run out of things to say.✳️ Own your platform first - a blog post you create once can become an email, a LinkedIn post, a newsletter or a video script. Post it anywhere else first and you're stuck on the hamster wheel. Post it on your own website first and you're building an asset.✳️ Treat your business like a magazine - as things grow more complex, think in sections instead of one long list. Clear labels, search boxes and internal links stop people getting lost, and stop your own team duplicating each other's work.Rachel's amplifiers:✳️ Don't assume people know what you know - share the basics. What feels obvious to you is new information to most of your audience.✳️ Repeat yourself - only a small slice of your audience sees any single post. Say the same thing again. Nobody's counting.✳️ Jot things down as you go - keep a simple running list of conversations, questions and moments from your week.

Have you ever opened Instagram for a quick scroll only to find yourself questioning your pricing, your brand, or the direction of your business? In this episode, I talk about why comparison feels especially intense in the wedding industry and how it can quietly push us into making reactive decisions instead of intentional ones. I share why the polished images we see online rarely tell the full story, and why comparing your day-to-day reality to someone else's highlight reel can pull you further away from the business you're actually trying to build.Topics covered in this episode include:Why comparison tends to hit wedding professionals harder than many other business ownersThe hidden costs of making business decisions based on what you see onlineHow to tell the difference between admiration and distractionI would love to connect on Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/JenTaylorConsulting/ & Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jentaylorconsulting/!Show notes available at: https://jentaylorconsulting.com/design-your-wedding-business-podcast/

This month's self-care capsule comes out of a real, lived week — five days of wildfire smoke from the Northern Ontario fires reaching southwestern Ontario, and a crash course in AQI and climate anxiety Erin didn't see coming. She shares a hope-forward book pack, a three-part mental reframe for climate anxiety, and a playful "treehouse mindset" for reducing consumption without falling into restriction or scarcity thinking. What's covered: Living through the wildfire smoke from the Northern Ontario fires (including the community of Collins) and what it revealed about her own, previously unrecognized, climate anxiety Why climate fiction wasn't the right read for this particular week, and choosing hope-forward books instead The August book pack: Becky Chambers' Monk & Robot series, Ursula K. Le Guin's speculative fiction, and a new nonfiction release A three-part mental reframe for climate anxiety: reduce consumption playfully in the next 24 hours, connect outward with community, care inward for your body in the next hour The "Treehouse Mindset" play prompt — reframing reduced consumption as an imaginative game rather than restriction The 100 Days of Gratitude challenge on Instagram (Day 28) and a call to support wildfire-affected communities Key framework: "Well-regulated, well-rested, well-fed, well-supported communities are what save the world — not individual hypervigilance." Books mentioned: A Psalm for the Wild-Built and A Prayer for the Crown-Shy — Becky Chambers (Monk & Robot series) Ursula K.

Bill Kanasky, Jr., Ph.D. talks about how to get a witness back on track when they slip up during the deposition. Since it is nearly inevitable that mistakes will be made by the witness during questioning, this must be addressed directly with the witness during the prep to help forewarn and desensitize them to when they make a cognitive mistake during the deposition. The much more difficult mistakes to overcome are emotional mistakes that witnesses make when they go into the survival responses of fight or flight. These mistakes must also be addressed directly in prep by training witnesses to recognize what their emotional triggers are, to identify them occurring in real-time, and to self-correct and/or request a break when they notice it happening. Forcing these emotional responses during the prep is the key to the witness learning how to identify and manage their reactions. Watch the video of this episode here: https://youtu.be/KMhDoJtnYUo

Perfectionism is something many people strive to achieve. It can drive high standards and motivation. But according to Dr. Greg Chasson, perfectionism does not necessarily equate to excellence. He contends that those who establish such a high standard of rigid ideals for themselves often become paralyzed because they're afraid that they will make mistakes or fail to meet expectations. He offers practical strategies to manage perfectionism. Dr. Chasson is a licensed clinical psychologist, board-certified cognitive-behavioral therapist, and the director of Behavioral Interventions of the Obsessive-Compulsive and Related Disorders Clinic in the Department of Psychiatry and Behavioral Neuroscience at the University of Chicago. Over the past two decades, Dr. Chasson has provided cognitive-behavioral therapy for clinically severe perfectionism He has authored or co-authored more than 70 scientific publications and is the author of the book, Flawed: Why Perfectionism is a Challenge for Management.

His body broke down, the last treatment failed and the doctors prepared his family for the end. But his life was saved by two things: a miraculous recovery, and the muscle he built through the years spent in the gym.  He woke up in the ICU as skin and bones – 40 pounds lighter, and unable to walk, talk or breathe on his own. Just over 1 year later, he returned to powerlifting to deadlift a lifetime PR – then did it again three months later.  Now, despite being legally blind and navigating progressive vision loss, Jared's mission is clearer than ever: to give you the skills, support and hope to rebuild after everything falls apart.  Through his business, Unbreakable Strength, he's the coach who helps coaches and clinicians beat decision fatigue, get out of pain, and build strength & confidence. He speaks on podcasts and stages as living proof of what's possible when you believe that "you're not done yet."

When cash flow gets tight, most practice owners look at revenue first. But one of the biggest drains on your cash may already be sitting on your shelves. Excess inventory doesn't just take up space—it ties up working capital, increases expiration risk, and quietly chips away at your margins.  In this episode, I break down why inventory management deserves more attention in your financial strategy and share practical ways to manage injectables, retail skincare, and consumables more effectively. Small changes in how you purchase, track, and replenish inventory can have a meaningful impact on your cash reserves and overall profitability.  Buying More Inventory Doesn't Always Save You Money  Bulk discounts can be tempting, but they're not always the best financial decision. Purchasing more product than you can realistically use may lower your cost per unit, but it also locks up cash that could be used for payroll, marketing, or other growth opportunities.  Inventory should support your practice—not compete with it for cash. Before placing a large order, consider your usage rate, seasonality, payment terms, and how quickly that inventory will actually generate revenue.  Every Product Category Needs a Different Strategy  Not all inventory should be managed the same way. Injectables, retail skincare, and everyday consumables each serve a different purpose in your practice and carry different levels of financial risk. Creating category-specific inventory strategies helps improve cash flow, reduce waste, and ensure you're investing in products that support both patient demand and long-term profitability.  Establish inventory par levels for injectables, retail skincare, and consumables  Track inventory turnover and usage by provider  Monitor expiration dates, shrinkage, spoilage, and waste  Assign one team member ownership of inventory reconciliation  Adjust purchasing based on seasonal demand instead of automatic reordering  Negotiate flexible payment terms with vendors whenever possible  Make sure every product on your shelves has a purpose. When you consistently monitor inventory levels and adjust purchasing decisions based on real usage, you free up cash, protect your margins, and create a more efficient operation.  04:00 Managing inventory responsibilities  07:31 Managing Inventory and Cash Flow  11:19 Tracking inventory and usage metrics  15:47 Upselling and Packaging Services  16:52 Managing inventory and pricing strategy Good Inventory Data Leads to Better Financial Decisions  Inventory counts should do more than confirm what's on the shelf. They should tell you how inventory is moving through the practice and whether it's contributing to healthy cash flow.  When you regularly review inventory tracking alongside your financial reports, it's much easier to identify underutilized inventory, margin loss, or products that aren't generating the return you expected. That visibility allows you to make adjustments before small issues become expensive ones.  Cash Should Keep Working for Your Business  As your med spa grows, inventory becomes more than an operational task—it becomes a strategic financial decision. Expanding locations, hiring providers, investing in new technology, or building cash reserves all require liquidity. Every dollar tied up in excess inventory is a dollar that can't be invested elsewhere.  Practices that scale successfully understand how to balance inventory levels with demand. They know what products generate revenue, what products move slowly, and when it's worth negotiating better payment terms instead of purchasing more inventory. Managing inventory with intention doesn't just protect margins—it creates the financial flexibility needed to grow with confidence.  Follow Shannon & Keep What You Earn:   Shannon Weinstein is the founder of a fractional CFO firm specializing in helping 7-figure aesthetics and wellness practices scale with clarity, cash flow, and confidence.  Shannon is committed to helping med spa owners understand, fix, and maximize their business's enterprise value, offering actionable advice and resources, including a popular free video series specifically for aesthetics practice owners.  Connect with Shannon:  Fractional CFO Services and Executive Financial Review: https://www.keepwhatyouearn.com/  Connect with Shannon: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shannonweinstein  Watch full episodes: https://www.youtube.com/@KeepWhatYouEarn  Listen on your favorite podcast app: https://pod.link/1580071347  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/shannonkweinstein/  The information shared is for educational purposes only and is not individualized financial advice.

Welcome back to Barn Talk! Today's episode is all about Taylor Moyer, a guy who swapped the fast lane of NASCAR for the wide-open spaces of cattle ranching outside Charlotte, North Carolina. The conversation focused on Taylor's wild ride from pit crews to pasture, where he's doubled his ranch's acreage, built his own family home, jumped into ag-tourism, dabbled in tech, gone viral on social media, and still found time to be a hands-on dad. A key theme that emerged was Taylor's willingness to shake up the status quo. The discussion explored how he made his dream of running a profitable ranch come true from scratch, why he doesn't stress about "the way it's always been done," and how he leans on new ideas like artificial intelligence to make things easier. Several points were raised about building great relationships, finding the right mentors, and being super intentional about why and how you do things especially when it comes to business and family. If you've ever wondered how to carve your own path in agriculture, balance work and home, or just love a good story about reinventing yourself and making it stick, you'll get plenty of laughs, encouragement, and real ideas from this episode. Taylor's journey proves that with curiosity, hustle, and the right people around you, you can blaze your own trail and really enjoy the ride.

His post laying out how he did it, featuring a simple screenshot of the product, got all the way to 1.1M views in just a few days. It's a simple fact: builders love to see what other people are building, and growing your new project "in public," sharing your journey on social media, is a great way to develop buzz around your product before it even exists. Today's guest Thibault "Tibo" Louis-Lucas walks us through how he grew products like Tweet Hunter and Taplio on his social media account, using social media buzz and a focus on tools for creators to very quickly expand to over $1M ARR. PLUS why Apple would only sue OpenAI if they knew they had them dead to rights… why Uber and Waymo are fighting over DC robotaxis… Jason's response to the public backlash against surveillance startup Flock Safety… and the guys remember iconic New Zealand actor Sam Neill.

Feeling great isn't about chasing the next health trend. It's about mastering the fundamentals. It's about building a lifestyle where healthy choices become your normal. Because what you do every day will always matter more than what you do once in a while. I've been studying experts for years and despite coming from different backgrounds, they all point to the same idea... The healthiest people don't just make healthy choices... they've built lives where those choices have become automatic. Today, we're talking about the daily habits that help you feel better, think clearer, have more energy, and become the healthiest version of yourself. Health isn't one habit. It's an ecosystem. When you improve one area, every other area gets easier. Sleep makes workouts easier. Workouts improve mood. Better mood improves relationships. Better relationships reduce stress. Less stress improves sleep. It becomes a positive upward spiral.     Get Morning Sun Your body needs to know it's daytime. Morning sunlight helps: • Circadian rhythm • Better sleep that night • More stable cortisol • Better energy • Better mood • Hormone production Go outside. No sunglasses. Even 5–10 minutes can help.       Move Every Day Not because you're trying to lose weight. Because humans are designed to move. Walking is one of the most underrated longevity tools. Ideas: • 10,000+ steps • Walking meetings • Walking phone calls • Family walks after dinner Movement isn't punishment. It's medicine.     Lift Heavy Things   Muscle equals health. Benefits: • Blood sugar control • Longevity • Confidence • Bone density • Hormones • Energy Especially for women after 35.       Eat Foods Your Great-Grandparents Would Recognize Choose foods with minimal processing. • Protein first • Fruit • Quality dairy if tolerated • Eggs • Meat • Seafood • Vegetables • Healthy fats Less: • Packaged food • Sugary drinks • Ultra-processed snacks         Hydrate Like It Matters   Water is important. With electrolytes is even better.      Protect Your Brain • Sleep • Learning • Hobbies • Gratitude • Nature • Social connection • Limiting endless scrolling • Managing stress • Breathwork • Purpose What are you feeding your brain every day?       Build Real Relationships Good relationships. Family dinners. Friendships. Community. Belonging. Health isn't just physical.       Have Something You're Excited About Most adults accidentally quit playing. • Golf • Painting • Surfing • Gardening • Reading • Baseball • Cooking Adults need play too.     Practice Delayed Gratification Modern life trains us for: • DoorDash • Amazon • TikTok • Constant dopamine But confidence comes from keeping promises to yourself. Examples: "I'll work out before I eat." "I'll finish my work before Netflix." "I'll read before social media."       Build Your Environment Don't rely on motivation. Design your house. Ideas: Healthy snacks visible. Weights in the garage. Walking shoes by the door. Water bottle everywhere. Phone charger outside the bedroom. Sunlight first thing. Make healthy easier than unhealthy.     Teach Your Kids These Habits The greatest inheritance isn't money. It's health habits. Imagine raising kids who simply believe: • We move. • We eat protein. • We go outside. • We don't complain about exercise. • We eat dinner together. • We get enough sleep. • We speak kindly to ourselves.       My Daily Health Checklist   Every day I try to hit these: ☐ Morning sunlight ☐ Walk ☐ Lift weights ☐ Eat plenty of protein ☐ Fruit ☐ Hydrate ☐ Spend time outside ☐ Read ☐ Family meal ☐ Gratitude ☐ Quality sleep ☐ Laugh ☐ Move again after dinner     The goal isn't perfection. It's becoming the kind of person who naturally takes care of themselves. You don't need 100 new habits. You probably need 10 simple ones that you repeat for the next 20 years. Because when you feel better... You think better. You parent better. You lead better. You love better. And that's really what being awesome is all about.
