Is AI the new “Need” from The Lorax—a shiny invention that looks harmless but comes with hidden costs? That's the tough question we're asking in today's episode, and the answer might change how you see both technology and energy forever. We're diving headfirst into whether artificial intelligence is truly a tool for abundance or just another story of progress that leaves us worse off. We have a new show on Lions of Liberty! The Politicks Podcast! Be sure to subscribe to the standalone Politicks Podcast feed. This is the absolute best way to support the show! Listen and subscribe on Apple Podcasts and Spotify. And remember, they're all Blood Suckers! Studio Sponsor: ⁠Cardio Miracle⁠ - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": ⁠CardioMiracle.com/TBNS⁠ Think about it: the Lorax warned us about cutting down truffula trees for a quick buck, but are we repeating that story today with AI? People celebrate chatbots, automation, and algorithms, but nobody asks the deeper question—what powers it all? The servers behind ChatGPT don't run on “good vibes” or environmental slogans. They run on massive amounts of energy, and right now, that means fossil fuels. In this episode, we break down the uncomfortable truth: without fossil fuels, AI doesn't exist. Net Zero activists may dream of a world powered by renewables, but the demand for AI is exploding faster than windmills and solar farms can keep up. From corporate ESG mandates to government green agendas, we're seeing a collision between fantasy and reality—and that's where the future of innovation hangs in the balance. But here's the twist: like the Lorax story, there's more at play than just the danger of cutting too many trees—or in this case, burning too much fuel. What if AI isn't just a flashy “need” but actually a tool that unlocks real abundance? From customer service to medical breakthroughs, from fighting human trafficking to expanding education, AI has the power to lift people up. The real question is: will we let fear and bad policy choke off that potential before it has the chance to grow? This episode isn't just about AI or energy—it's about how we think about progress itself. Is creation good, or should we always apologize for building? Is innovation dangerous, or is it the only way we survive and thrive? If you've ever wondered what the Lorax would say about ChatGPT, fossil fuels, and the future of human flourishing, you can't afford to miss this conversation.

“Just because everyone is chasing it doesn't mean it's aligned for you. Validation is expensive—and it's not always required.” – Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Most entrepreneurs crave external validation—but what if chasing accolades is actually costing you more than it's worth? In this bold and brutally honest rewind of a viral fan-favorite episode, Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon pulls back the curtain on why she made the conscious decision not to reapply for the Inc 5000, even after making the list two years in a row and generating millions in verified revenue. This episode is not a takedown—it's a wake-up call for seven-figure CEOs who want to build legacies, not illusions. Whether you're dreaming of the Inc 5000 or already on it, this episode will challenge everything you believe about validation, profitability, and strategic visibility. From the real numbers behind application costs to the emotional toll of comparison, you'll walk away with clarity on when to pursue public recognition—and when to walk away. For the millions-minded entrepreneur who's done hustling for applause and is ready to move in divine alignment, this conversation is your compass. This episode is a call to stop equating visibility with viability. Dr. Darnyelle dismantles the glorified chase for third-party accolades and replaces it with a deeper standard—one that measures success by profitability, purpose, and alignment with your divine assignment. If you're obsessed with being seen but your margins are shrinking, this episode is your course correction. This is your invitation to ditch the applause and own your power. If you've ever questioned whether recognition was serving your next level—or simply stroking your ego—this episode is a must-listen. Stop what you're doing and tune in. The real flex is not another award—it's profitability, peace, and purpose. Here's the Truth: Getting on a prestigious list might feed your ego, but it won't fix your business. Visibility without strategy is vanity. In this episode, Dr. Darnyelle reveals the hidden costs of chasing awards—including how she spent five figures just to prove what she'd already built. When you know who sent you, you don't need outside approval. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook and listen in to discover: A behind-the-scenes look at what the Inc 5000 process really costs A framework for deciding when public recognition aligns with your growth Confidence to validate your success without external applause How to discern if an award like Inc 5000 fits your current business season How to create a monetization strategy around recognition (if you pursue it) How to shift from comparison to conviction when making high-level decisions 5 Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Am I chasing recognition or building legacy? Have I created a monetization strategy for my visibility? Is my desire to apply rooted in comparison or calling? What investments are actually moving my business forward? Do I need external validation—or do I need to trust my impact? 5 Powerful Quotes from the Episode: “Once you know better, you do better. And I know better now.” – Dr. Darnyelle “The Inc 5000 is paid media. I don't need to pay someone to validate what God already approved.” – Dr. Darnyelle “The true CEOs aren't just making millions—they're keeping millions.” – Dr. Darnyelle “It's not a flex to burn out for visibility.” – Dr. Darnyelle quoting a colleague “If you're going to get on the list, you better have a strategy to make it work for your business.” – Dr. Darnyelle Resources Mentioned: Move to Millions by Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon – Get Your Copy Companion Guide for Move to Millions – Download for a detailed overview of the seven systems to seven figures.

What if school felt less like a building and more like a gateway to the future students imagine for themselves? That vision fuels the work of Lynette Gillson, Community-Industry & AVID Outreach Specialist at Mountain View Los Altos High School District. Her passion and purpose come to life in a recent conversation on the Nomad Futurist podcast with co-hosts Nabeel Mahmood and Phillip Koblence. Lynette's commitment to real-world learning bridges the gap between schools, communities, and industries. Through work-based learning, she empowers students to shape meaningful futures, connecting education to opportunity and revealing possibilities they have yet to discover: “I believe in education-business-community partnerships. Bringing all three together is how we build stronger communities.” Every day, Lynette connects CEOs with classrooms, organizes data center tours, and sparks introductions that can launch careers. The outdated divide between “college track” and “trade track” is gone. Similar to the Nomad Futurist Foundation, she champions inclusive CTE programs where all students explore their interests together, no matter the career path. Lynette's approach embraces diverse backgrounds and learning styles, proving that both hands-on and academic learners thrive in dynamic environments. For Lynette, college and career aren't separate paths but opportunities every student should access. Learning becomes truly impactful when it shifts from abstract ideas to real-world experience. She shares stories of students touring data centers, touching servers, and discovering careers they never imagined: “Hands-on exposure creates excitement because it's real and relevant. This relevance turns the tired question, ‘What do you want to be?' into a journey full of possibility.” Reflecting on her own path shaped by curiosity and chance, Lynette now helps students explore, experiment, and even fail safely.

Why are Jewish teachers being told by their own unions: “You're on your own”? This episode dives into a shocking and overlooked crisis inside America's public schools—where antisemitism is on the rise, and the very organizations meant to protect educators are doing nothing. What's really going on behind the scenes? And why should every parent, teacher, and taxpayer be paying attention to this? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS In today's conversation, I sit down with education policy researcher Gary Frankel to unpack his latest article at Real Clear Education. We explore the disturbing reality Jewish educators face in classrooms—harassment from students, indifference from administrators, and silence from teachers unions that are more focused on politics than protecting their members. The stories will leave you shaking your head, but the data will make your jaw drop. We dig into how cultural shifts, political tribalism, and the influence of social media have fueled an environment where antisemitism isn't just whispered—it's often ignored or excused. Gary breaks down the difference between criticizing the Israeli government and outright bigotry, and why today's younger generations are blurring that line in dangerous ways. But this isn't just a story about antisemitism—it's a case study in how unions, advocacy groups, and even education itself can drift from their original mission. From the ADL's partisan turn to the way conspiracy theories fill the gaps left by weak public discourse, we look at how neglect and complacency create fertile ground for hate to grow. If you care about protecting teachers, holding unions accountable, and ensuring our kids learn values that unite rather than divide—this is an episode you can't afford to skip. We're not just pointing out problems; we're showing how to fight back with truth, transparency, and courage. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Carly PepinHuman Behavior SpecialistCEOs and business owners come to me when they're ready to scale their companies, overcome burnout, and reconnect with the vision that originally inspired them.For 15yrs I've been helping leaders break through growth barriers, align their teams, and increase their company's valuation—while ensuring they don't lose themselves in the process. By combining proven business frameworks with deep human behavior insights, I guide individuals to unlock the clarity and momentum needed to lead their organizations with confidence and purpose.I show leaders why they've encountered specific challenges in their business—whether it's plateaued growth, team misalignment, or decision fatigue—and how to transform these obstacles into leverage points for success. Scaling a company isn't just about structure and execution; it's about mental resilience, strategic clarity, and ensuring your business fuels your life, rather than drains it.When leaders ask the right questions, they don't just get unstuck—they tap into a state of inspiration where decisions become clear, actions become natural, and their business begins to work for them instead of the other way around.I'm here to help leaders scale smarter, lead more effectively, and create a business that aligns with your long-term vision—one that's not just profitable, but deeply fulfilling.When I'm not working with leaders, you'll find me exploring new business strategies, studying human behavior, practicing yoga, traveling, and enjoying time with my family.

In this episode of The Daily Windup, we explore the surprising intersection between leadership confidence, self-doubt, and team dynamics in business. Our conversation uncovers how even seasoned CEOs wrestle with waves of uncertainty—despite producing thousands of deliverables over their careers—and how tools like StrengthsFinder and the Enneagram can help leaders better understand themselves and their teams. You will hear how strategic hiring, self-awareness assessments, and ongoing learning play a role in building a resilient organization, even when perceptions of leadership don't always match the leader's self-image. Our discussion also takes a deeper dive into big-picture planning, mentorship, and knowing when it's time to pivot. From setting a clear vision that aligns staff to reflecting on when—and why—you might sell your business, this episode delivers candid insights on navigating the entrepreneurial journey. Along the way, we hear how mastermind groups, mentorships, and strategic reflection can shape a company's direction, and why having “what's next” in mind is essential for both succession planning and personal fulfillment.

Confidence can make or break your career as a speaker, professional, or entrepreneur. Today, I sit down with Juan Bendana, one of the most sought-after keynote speakers in the corporate circuit, to discuss how to build unshakeable confidence from the ground up. Juan shares his proven system for developing confidence in any area of life. Juan's journey to becoming a world-class speaker is remarkable. He went from bombing his first speech at a Rotary Club breakfast (literally wanting to run out of the restaurant) to becoming a bestselling author and speaking for companies like American Express, Zillow, and AT&T. In this in-depth conversation, Juan reveals his four-step "Confidence Cycle" that transforms fear into fuel. He also shares why rejection has become his secret weapon and explains how to show up authentically on any stage.  If you've ever felt terrified to step onto a stage, paralyzed by impostor syndrome or the fear of rejection and failure, Juan's journey will inspire you to take action today. "Confidence is not made for the select few who feel more confident than others. It is a choice that is accessible to anyone in any context at any time, but it does take a little bit of work." ~ Juan Bendana In This Episode: - Juan's journey of building confidence as a keynote speaker - Overcoming impostor syndrome and learning to handle rejection - What are the qualities of a great speaker? - How to develop the confidence to be authentic on stage - Handling criticism and haters - The inspiration behind Juan's book: the confidence flywheel - How to build confidence after a failure - The fresh start theory: create your fresh start - How to order Juan's new book, Confident by Choice Don't miss Jen's FREE Get Paid To Speak Challenge!

  In this dynamic episode of the Breakfast Leadership Show, I sit down with Ted Santos—founder of Turnaround Investment Partners—for a powerful conversation on leadership, disruption, and transforming companies from the inside out. With over two decades of experience turning around distressed businesses and scaling organizations growing faster than they could handle, Ted brings a wealth of insight. He shares his early leadership journey as a COO in the transportation and translation sectors, where he radically improved operations by shifting culture and introducing new service lines. One standout story: how his lack of industry knowledge in translation actually became his superpower. Ted spearheaded cultural translation services for websites—an innovative leap that reshaped how companies approached global communications. That sparked a familiar theme for me. I reflected on my own healthcare leadership journey—stepping into the industry without direct experience. Sometimes, not knowing “how it's always been done” is exactly what's needed to drive game-changing innovation. Reimagining Growth Through Diverse Lenses We explored how bringing in external perspectives—whether from different industries, cultures, or life experiences—is a powerful way to break the echo chamber of internal assumptions. I shared a story from my days running a multicultural healthcare clinic, where dialogue and inclusion—not rigid policies—became the key to navigating cultural complexity and driving operational excellence. Ted offered insights on his disruption framework for organizations, helping leaders embrace volatility and turn it into a strategic advantage. Discomfort as a Catalyst for Innovation Ted and I went deep into why organizations must learn to disrupt themselves before the market does. Drawing on both history and personal experiences, Ted cited icons like Rockefeller and Ford, reminding us that lasting innovation doesn't come from comfort zones—it comes from shaking them up. As leaders, we must be willing to challenge norms, ask uncomfortable questions, and reinvent systems. I added some examples from my own path—like pivoting to virtual events long before it became a necessity—and how that foresight unlocked unexpected growth. Leading With Boldness in a Changing World Ted laid out a compelling case for what he calls "disruptive leadership"—the ability to invent new possibilities and even “create problems” that force organizations to stretch. We discussed how leaders must confront blind spots (both personal and organizational), embrace continuous learning, and build the muscle to delegate strategically if they want to scale sustainably. Owning Your Narrative: Responsibility and Reinvention We closed on a deeply personal note—how early life experiences shape behavior, and how owning your story is the first step in transforming it. Ted and I unpacked the role of ego, unconscious patterns, and the necessity of unlearning behaviors that no longer serve our leadership. It's a conversation about growth, yes—but more importantly, about responsibility. Innovation isn't just about ideas—it's about the inner work we do to lead ourselves and others through disruption. Connect with Ted Santos: Ted's work is ideal for organizations navigating rapid change or seeking bold new strategies. If you're looking to challenge your current trajectory, this episode is your invitation to start. Ted Santos is the ultimate “Disruptor of Limits”—a bold strategist who trains and develops  CEOs and executives to stop solving problems and start creating them to fuel breakthroughs that redefine industries.   As the creator of the Disruptive Leadership Model, Ted flips conventional wisdom on its head, proving that chaos isn't a threat—it's the catalyst for transformation. With a track record of turning impossible visions into unstoppable growth, Ted challenges leaders to think bigger, act bolder, and turn uncertainty into opportunity.   Whether he's helping businesses scale without breaking or reshaping corporate cultures to thrive under pressure, Ted is the go-to expert for leaders who refuse to settle for incremental growth and are ready to disrupt their way to dominance.

Is Canada making a huge mistake by pivoting away from the U.S.? The U.S.–Canada relationship has been one of the most stable alliances in modern history – but political shifts, global instability, and rising threats from China, Russia, and Iran are testing that bond like never before. In this hard-hitting episode, we dig into the reality behind the headlines and ask the tough question: Can Canada survive – economically or militarily – without the United States at its side? Studio Sponsor: Cardio Miracle - "Unlock the secret to a healthier heart, increased energy levels, and transform your cardiovascular fitness like never before.": CardioMiracle.com/TBNS For decades, Canada and the U.S. have fought alongside each other in major conflicts, defended shared interests, and benefited from an open, secure global trade system. But now, Canadian leaders are entertaining new defense and trade alignments, some even calling for a “pivot” away from Washington. Is this bold independence… or dangerous overconfidence? Joining me is Anthony De Luca-Baratta of Young Voices, who argues that the U.S.–Canada partnership isn't just about friendship – it's about survival. From shared geopolitical goals to economic interdependence, we explore why both nations need each other more than ever. We also unpack Canada's defense spending gap, its reliance on U.S. protection, and what that means in a world where American voters are increasingly skeptical of global policing. We don't shy away from the hard truths: America's foreign policy has been messy, sometimes overreaching, and costly – and Canadians have followed us into conflicts with questionable returns. But what happens if the U.S. steps back completely? Could Canada stand on its own in a hostile world, or would it be forced into dangerous compromises with regimes that don't share its values? If you care about national sovereignty, North American security, and the future of one of the world's most important alliances, you can't afford to miss this episode. This is more than just U.S.–Canada relations – it's a case study in how nations balance independence, alliances, and self-interest in an increasingly unstable world. ❤️ Order Cardio Miracle (CardioMiracle.com/TBNS) for 15% off and take a step towards better heart health and overall well-being!

Most B2B CEOs never spent time in marketing. Fewer than one in five ever held the title. Which explains a lot. From undervalued budgets to misaligned expectations, marketing often gets boxed in as a support function instead of the growth driver it is. If marketing is going to lead, CEOs need to understand what it can really do and what to look for in a CMO who's built to deliver.  To set the record straight, Drew taps three marketing leaders, Rebecca Stone (formerly Cisco), Grant Johnson (Chief Outsiders), and Jan Deahl (Drake Star), to reframe how CEOs see marketing. It is a strategic engine built to shape markets, guide buyers, and drive growth. Together, they make the case for what's possible when CMOs are empowered to lead. In this episode:  Rebecca on why CMOs need to think and act like a CEO  Grant on how mismatched expectations set CMOs up to fail  Jan on aligning marketing's role to company stage and goals  Plus:  The key questions every CEO should ask their CMO  What to fix when marketing is stuck in order-taking mode  How smart onboarding sets CMOs up to lead  Why growth depends on more than just demand gen  Tune in for signals that shift how your CEO sees marketing.  For full show notes and transcripts, visit https://renegademarketing.com/podcasts/ To learn more about CMO Huddles, visit https://cmohuddles.com/

Welcome to the What's Next! Podcast with Tiffani Bova.    This week, I'm joined by John Maxwell, someone who truly needs no introduction in the world of leadership. For over five decades, John has been teaching, writing, and inspiring leaders around the world. From his 5 Levels of Leadership to his 100+ books translated into 50 languages, he has shaped how millions think about what it means to lead well. But what I most admire about John, outside of the fact that he's a great guy, is that he doesn't just talk about leadership, he lives it. Whether working with Fortune 500 CEOs, young entrepreneurs or communities in need, he believes leadership is about one thing: adding value to others.   THIS EPISODE IS PERFECT FOR…anyone who wants to be more intentional in their growth as a leader. Whether you're a CEO, founder, people manager, or just stepping into leadership, this episode is a must-listen.   TODAY'S MAIN MESSAGE…being put into a leadership position doesn't always mean you've been prepared to lead. In this candid conversation, John explains why too many leaders are handed bigger roles without the support or mentoring they need to succeed and how to change that. We discuss what makes leadership truly effective, the importance of intentional growth, and how to build a stronger leadership bench within your organization. If you're thinking about how to make sure your leadership legacy includes more than just your own success, John's wisdom will stick with you.   KEY TAKEAWAYS… Great leaders invest in their people, not just themselves. Consistency is the secret to long-term success and it compounds over time. Don't waste energy trying to fix your weaknesses. Instead, double down on your strengths. If you don't have a mentor, create one through books, podcasts, or intentional practice.   WHAT I LOVE MOST…John's reminder that leadership isn't about “me first” but about adding value to others. It's not your journey alone.    Running Time: 30:13    Subscribe on iTunes     Find Tiffani Online: LinkedIn Facebook X    Find John Online: Website LinkedIn Instagram  

Bestselling author Cheryl Strayed believes that writing your truth can set you free.Today we're sharing an excerpt from her conversation with Thomas at the upcoming Collective Trauma Summit. In it, she shares about a profound healing act that helped her process deep grief and trauma…writing. More specifically, the way that writing demands raw honesty and vulnerability, revealing our deepest truths about our human experiences.It's also an incredibly effective way to combat the isolation and loneliness that often accompany grief or trauma. In Cheryl's case, sharing her truth in her book, Wild, inspired people to reach out to her with their own stories of loss and pain, creating unexpected, deeply authentic connections. And it's through these connections that we can build much-needed shared spaces for healing individual and collective trauma.If you're moved by this conversation and want to hear the full talk, sign up at the link below and we'll notify you as soon as details are announced for the 2025 Collective Trauma Summit, taking place online this fall.

You're able to avoid these mistakes that I made and help you move faster in your own journey as an entrepreneur. So let's talk about mistake number one is thinking that I have to be diversified in every sales channel, possibly or possible out there. Okay. Number two is going to be hiring people without having like clearly defined roles and probably hiring people to just solve a problem without me actually understanding the problem and very clearly defining that role. Number three is going to be waiting too long to document the processes in my business. And then number four is hiring trying to hire people at the cheapest rate possible. And then number five is launching or creating me two products that aren't 100% original or unique. So those are going to be like the five big mistakes that I'd love to share with the audience today. Today I am excited. I have Chad Franzen in here of rise 25, who has done hundreds of interviews with successful entrepreneurs and CEOs. We have flipped the script and he will be interviewing me today.Chad 00:01:09  Yeah. You know, when I hear you list those mistakes, I think, like, I think most people would probably think along the same lines, that you were thinking maybe when you first started making those mistakes. So I think it'll be very, interesting and informative to hear some kind of your journey regarding these mistakes. Why don't we start with the first one? Having you felt like you had to diversify the business and communicate through all channels. Tell me, maybe what your thought process was going in and why. That seemed like a good idea at the time.Josh 00:01:36  With Amazon, we were selling physical products, right? And we had this great idea that's like, hey, let's diversify ourselves. Let's go create a Shopify site. And then, hey, there's also this good opportunity on on Etsy where people are selling these digital files. And so we had this genius idea at the time that was like, okay, so many people talk about how, you know, physical products, brands, you know, so much crap gets tied up in inventory that cash flow becomes a problem.Josh 00:02:08  So, yeah, I think it would be great if we did just digital products. Let's go dominate that on Etsy. And then let's open up our own Shopify site. We can maybe sell some of our physical products there, but let's really sell these digital products. And again, we did this all out of fear and running away from Amazon, which was which was working great for us. So we end up going in and we spend literally we spent the last those next three years from 2017 until 2020, we spent building out our our Shopify site, which honestly like I think the best day we had was like maybe like 1 or $200, which is just like laughable. as we looked at Amazon, we're making, you know, thousands of dollars a day there. so we spent three years working on Shopify. Then we're like, oh, we just need to figure out this external traffic thing and drive more traffic to our own Shopify site. So then we build a blog, and I have no experience building a blog.Josh 00:03:07  So we spend an entire year working on a blog, hiring people for this blog that's making no money. And for this website, our Shopify site that's making absolutely no money for us. And we just continue to double down in the wrong place. All of our time and energy is focused on Shopify building a blog, growing our Instagram account so that we can feed traffic. We believed our problem was just that we weren't getting enough traffic and man, we just spent thousands of dollars, thousands of hours, with not only Becca and I, but our entire team trying to build this thing that really never took got off the ground. And but Amazon continued to churn out more and more revenue for us because we would we would continue to dip our toe in there. It's like, all right, it's maybe time to launch a new product. We would do it, but we could have been much more aggressive.Chad 00:04:01  Another mistake that you mentioned that you made was you felt like you you hired people, but you didn't give them clearly defined roles.Chad 00:04:08  Kind of take me back and tell me what that looked like at the time.Josh 00:04:11  Yeah. So again, it's it's the whole mistake that we made with trying to diversify our income. Right. So this was 2019 okay. And in 2019 we had we were working with a business coach. and she was like, yeah, if you guys want to run faster, like you should probably if you want to grow more, you should go hire people. Well, here's the mistake. Just saying you should go hire people is not necessarily the right answer. You need to clearly know who should I hire? Why should I hire them? And how is this going to free up my time so that I can go do more revenue generating activities? But we didn't have like, clearly defined roles? That said, this is what needs to happen. These this is your day to day responsibilities, and this is what success looks like for you and your role. So instead, what we did is we obviously needed help finding external traffic to grow our Shopify site.Josh 00:05:06  Right? So what I did is I tried to hire away this problem that we had. And so we paid close to six figure salary for somebody to come in. That was our marketing manager, and ideas were just bouncing all over the place and nothing was ever, like really sticking. It's like, hey, we want to grow our revenue here on Shopify. And anything that we really tested out, like nothing really got the ball rolling there. And so we ended up letting that marketing manager go. You know, less than a y...
