Delivering financial planning efficiently doesn't have to mean compromising on depth or personalization. This episode explores how a “working session” model can streamline the client experience, reduce prep and follow-up time, and still create space for thoughtful, relationship-driven planning. Becky Walsh is the founder of Oak Maple Finance, an RIA based in Burlington, Vermont, that oversees approximately $80 million in AUM for 75 client households. Listen in as Becky shares how she structures her onboarding into a six-month planning sprint with four real-time working sessions, drastically reducing the hours spent outside of client meetings. We discuss how this approach helps her serve Earners Wanting Advice Now (EWAN) clients with a flat complexity-based fee while maintaining a personalized experience. Becky also explains how she uses software tools like Elements and Money Quotient to assess a client's financial picture and mindset, how she tailors service tiers after the initial planning "sprint" to match ongoing client needs, and why the support of a trusted peer study group has been a powerful driver in her own professional growth.

Unser heutiger Gast ist seit über zwei Jahrzehnten als Schauspielerin auf der Bühne, vor der Kamera und am Mikrofon zu Hause. Sie hat in zahlreichen Film-, Fernseh- und Kinoproduktionen mitgewirkt, Hörbücher eingesprochen und stand auf den Theaterbühnen dieses Landes. Darüber hinaus hat sie vor gut einem Jahr ihr Schaffen um eine neue Dimension erweitert. Als zertifizierter Coach für das international anerkannte CliftonStrengths-Modell bringt sie zusammen, was auf den ersten Blick vielleicht ungewöhnlich erscheint: Schauspiel und Stärkenorientierung. In dieser Verbindung liegt jedoch genau das, was sie auszeichnet und im beruflichen Kontext besondere Wirkung entfaltet: die Fähigkeit, Menschen zu ermutigen, ihren individuellen Ausdruck zu finden, ihre Stimme zu nutzen und sich in ihrer ganzen Persönlichkeit zu zeigen. Ihr Engagement gilt dabei nicht nur Einzelpersonen, sondern auch der nachhaltigen Transformation ihrer Branche: als Mitgründerin der Greenactorslounge, als Regionalpatin im Bundesverband Schauspiel, wo sie seit über zwölf Jahren die filmpolitische Arbeit aktiv mitprägt und die Interessen der Schauspielenden im Norden vernetzt und vertritt – sowie als Gestalterin eines Berufsbilds, das sich im Wandel befindet. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. In über 500 Gesprächen mit mehr als 600 Gästen haben wir darüber gesprochen, was sich für sie verändert hat, und was sich noch verändern muss. Wie verändert sich der Beruf der Schauspielerin in Zeiten von KI, Voice Cloning und synthetischem Bildmaterial? Was können Menschen in der heutigen Arbeitswelt von Schauspieler:innen lernen, wenn es um authentische Kommunikation, Präsenz und Wirkung in Meetings, auf Bühnen oder im Video-Call geht? Und wie hilft der Blick auf die eigenen Stärken dabei, sich beruflich klarer zu positionieren und überzeugender aufzutreten, gerade dann, wenn es darauf ankommt? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen Ihr seid bei ‘On the Way to New Work', heute mit Esther Roling.

Endless meetings can be exhausting — but what if they could actually be productive and meaningful? Kim and Amy talk with Dr. Steven Rogelberg, author of Glad We Met and The Surprising Science of Meetings, about how to run effective meetings and make every minute count — especially during one-on-one meetings. Steven shares research-backed tips for running better meetings, from framing agendas as questions to setting clear meeting norms that invite everyone's voice. He explains why one-on-one meetings are the most important conversations managers can have, how they build trust, strengthen relationships, and boost team performance, and why they should never be replaced by an email. If you're ready to spend less time in unproductive meetings and more time having conversations that count, this episode offers helpful guidance on meeting best practices, better collaboration, and creating space for real connection.

They get into the struggles of supporting someone who might not always feel ready to change and why expecting constant motivation can lead to frustration.

In 2000, at a secret meeting in the Vatican, an Australian bishop warned a deluge would soon overwhelm the Catholic Church. The sex abuse crisis would become the greatest challenge to the authority and reputation of the Vatican since the Protestant Reformation almost 500 years earlier. But this warning went largely unheeded. It's another revelation in the new book, Jesus Wept: Seven Popes and the Battle for the Soul of the Catholic Church, by Philip Shenon. In part 2 of this interview, we look at how the scandal enveloped three popes (but we begin with another controversy for then Pope John Paul II). GUEST:Philip Shenon – investigative reporter and author of Jesus Wept: Seven Popes and the Battle for the Soul of the Catholic Church

Ghislaine Maxwell's two‑day interview with Deputy Attorney General Todd Blanche, spanning over 300 pages, offers a key insight: she never saw Donald Trump behave inappropriately. Maxwell described their relationship as strictly cordial, noting she had not witnessed him in any compromising situations—particularly massages or other intimate settings—and referred to him as “a gentleman in all respects.” She also asserted that there was no “client list” implicating powerful figures in Epstein's network—debunking widespread speculation of a Black Book or secret registry—while expressing uncertainty over whether she attended any gatherings that could corroborate such claimsMaxwell similarly defended Bill Clinton, saying he was her friend—not Epstein's—and that she never observed any misbehavior between them. She rejected claims involving Prince Andrew, going so far as to label allegations connecting him to Virginia Giuffre as “bullshit,” and suggested the infamous photograph depicting him with Giuffre may have been doctored. Regarding Epstein's death, Maxwell dismissed theories of foul play as “ludicrous,” suggesting instead that a prison incident—such as a violent confrontation over commissary—was a more plausible explanation.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:5 takeaways from Ghislaine Maxwell transcripts and audio files

You're busy. Your team is busy. Everyone's working hard. But for all that effort, does it ever feel like not much actually gets done? According to today's guests, the culprit usually isn't laziness — it's lousy workflow design. Emails that should've been meetings, meetings that should've been emails, and half-finished projects clogging the system. In their new book, There's Got to Be a Better Way: How to Deliver Results and Get Rid of the Stuff That Gets in the Way of Real Work, MIT Sloan professors Nelson Repenning and Donald Kieffer show how smarter work design can cut through the clutter.

Now is a great time to reflect on both personal milestones and business goals! Planning your priorities now can set you up for a strong finish to this year and prepare you for a successful start to 2026. Transitions and Emotional Awareness When your children start school or college, it can be emotionally intense as it reminds you how quickly time passes. Embracing the emotions of those moments can help you process change while you focus on other areas of life.  Planning Your Year-End Goals With roughly 85 working days left in the year, it is essential to define what you want to accomplish before this year comes to an end. You should also start thinking about next year.  Using Mind Maps Effectively Mind maps make it easier to translate abstract ideas into actionable steps. They can help you organize your ideas, set your priorities, and clarify your objectives. Mind mapping is a technique popularized by Tony Buzan that visually allows you to structure ideas around a central topic. Mapping your thoughts for the rest of this year and next will help you to identify your priorities and avoid distractions.  The 25-5 Rule Prioritization is the key. Identify your top 25 goals first, then select the five of your most critical objectives. Focus on those five, and deliberately avoid distractions from the remaining 20. That will ensure your energy goes toward what truly matters. Eric explains that even if the famous Warren Buffett story about this method is unverified, the principle of disciplined prioritization is still powerful. Action and Focus Once you have set your priorities, dedicate your energy to achieving your top goals. The rest of the year will go quickly, so focus on what matters most to determine your success, both personally and professionally. Preparing now will set the stage for a productive and fulfilling year-end and a strong start to 2026.

This week on Our Uncommon Life, we're getting real about something that's thrown us off lately: missing our Sunday marriage meetings.We've always said these check-ins are the foundation of our week. They're where we align on schedules, check in on personal goals, and set ourselves up to win the week. But over the summer, we missed more than a few. And honestly? We've felt it.From falling behind on our health goals, to losing clarity around schedules, to just feeling a little “off,” we've seen the trickle-down effect first-hand. It's proof that those simple, consistent habits really do hold everything together.But here's the thing...we aren't perfect, and we don't want to pretend to be. This podcast isn't about showing up as people who have it all figured out; it's about being accountable and honest with you. Marriage (and life!) takes work, and sometimes we drop the ball. The important part is recognizing it and resetting, with a little humor and grace along the way.In this episode, we share:Why our weekly marriage meetings are non-negotiable.How skipping them impacted our goals and connection.The small but powerful reset we're making to get back on track.If you've ever felt the ripple effect of being “just a little off” in your relationship or routine, this one's for you.

"There's no such thing as work-life balance. There are work-life choices, and you make them, and they have consequences." That's a quote by former GE CEO, Jack Welch.

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  It's always fascinated me how so many people see the attainment of a “work-life balance” as their goal in life. Yet, that balance is easily achieved if you know what is important to you, are clear about your core work activities, and take control of your calendar.  I'm reading Dominic Sandbrook's brilliant book State of Emergency: The Way We Were, Britain 1970 to 1974.  In Britain in the early 1970s, the economy was in dire straits. The labour unions were fighting the employers and the government, inflation was rising uncontrollably and unemployment was becoming a serious problem. Nothing the government tried worked and often made things worse.  Yet, despite all these travails, people got on with their lives. They went to work, came home had dinner with their families or dropped into the pub to meet up with friends. At weekends kids went out to the cinema, or hung out on the high street with their friends. Parents would potter around their gardens or attempt DIY projects at home.  Balance was a given. Work happened at work. Home life happened at home. There were clear boundaries.  Today, it's easy to find people being nostalgic for those halcyon days, yet they weren't all great. There were frequent power cuts (power outages), droughts, and the incessant strikes meant often people couldn't get to work, or their workplace was closed because of the strikes.  Having a work life balance shouldn't be a goal. It should be the way you life your life. There's a time for work, and a time for your hobbies and family. Not in a strict sense, but in a flexible way.  This week's question is about ho to achieve that with the minimal amount of effort and fuss.  So, to get into the how, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Isabelle. Isabelle asks, Hi Carl, I'm having a lot of trouble trying to balance my professional and personal life. I never seem to have time to meet my friends, and often skip going to the gym because I have to finish my work late in the evenings. What do you recommend someone do to regain some work/life balance?  Hi Isabelle. Thank you for your question. One of the most effective ways to start this is to create what I call a “perfect” week calendar. This is where you create a new blank calendar and sketch out what you would like time for each week. Begin with your personal life. How many times do you want to go to the gym, how much sleep do you want each night, and how much time you want to spend with family and friends?  Add these to your calendar. Then sketch out how you would like to divide up your work time. How many meetings per week, how much time can you spend on admin and communications each day and time for doing deeper, focused work.  Once you have done this, you will get to see if what you want time for each week is realistic. I've found most people who do this exercise discover that they are trying to do the impossible.  You only have 168 hours a week. And you do not have to do everything you want to do in those 168 hours.  Before coming to Korea, I used to go to watch Leeds Rhinos Rugby League team every home game. In those days, those games were usually held on a Friday night.  This meant, every other Friday, I'd make sure I left work on time, got home, changed, had a quick dinner, then went to pick up my friends and off we went.  After the game we'd call into the local pub for a few beers before going home.  During the season, we made it a non-negotiable event. It would have been unheard of for any of us to miss a Friday night game.  If I had urgent work to finish, I would rather go back into the office on Saturday morning to finish it off than miss a game.  That was the mindset. Those games and meeting up with friends were non-negotiable.  And that is the first lesson here. If there is something you want to do, then make it non-negotiable.  Of all the productivity and time management tools available, the only one that will tell you if you have time to do something is your calendar.  Task managers and notes apps can collect a lot of stuff. Ideas, things to do, future projects, meeting notes. The list is infinite. Yet, the time you have is not infinite. It's limited. Each day has 24 hours, each week has 168 hours.  Part of the reason many feel there is no balance in their lives is they've allowed task managers to become their primary time management tool.  If you look at your task manager, it's just a list of things you either have to do or would like to do. There's no time frame. Some of the things on there will be important and time sensitive. However, a lot won't be. And when you scroll through the list, all you see are things to do.  It numbs the mind and makes you feel you have no time to rest. The difference between today and the 1970s is what we are prioritising.  Because in the 1970s the only productivity or time management tools we had were desk or pocket diaries and notebooks, the only tool we looked at when asked to do something was our diaries.  This meant we would instantly see a conflict and would be able to say “No, sorry I cannot do that on that day”.  Today, when we are asked to do something we add to our task manager-after all, it's easier to add it there than to open up our calendar app, and look at what we are committed to.  If you have on your calendar a regular aerobics class on a Tuesday at 6:00 p.m. And you're asked to attend a meeting at 4:30 p.m. You'd more likely say you cannot attend that meeting if all you had is your calendar to look at.  Today, we don't do that. We say “yes, okay” then later realise we''ll struggle to get to our class.  I remember when I was at university, my finish time at work was 5:30 p.m. and my lectures began at 6:00 p.m. There was no way I would accept a meeting request on a Tuesday or Thursday after 3:30 p.m.  It took me twenty minutes to get to my university from the office.  Attending university was a non-negotiable for me. Meetings with colleagues could be arranged either earlier in the day or the next.  This is why you cannot afford to leave things to chance if you want to bring balance into your life. If something is important to you, you need to be intentional about it.  But there's another important consideration and that is flexibility. Balance is about being flexible.  Most nights, I finish my coaching calls around 11:00 p.m. Now it would be very tempting for me to quit and flop down in front of the TV and mindlessly watch something. Yet, reading real books is something I get a great deal of pleasure from. So, before I consider turning on the TV, I grab my book, go through to the living room and read for twenty minutes or so.  It's wonderfully relaxing—much more so than trying to find something to watch TV.  Yet, if there is something I do want to watch on TV, I'll skip the book and watch the TV show.  There are sometimes when for one reason or another, I have not cleared my actionable email. If all I have is the hour after my calls finish to do it, then I'll spend thirty minutes or so clearing as many emails as I can.  Doing my email late is far better than having to try and find additional time the next day.  On Wednesday this week, my wife asked me if I would go with her and her parents on a little trip to the mountains that afternoon.  I had not planned for it, but said if I could have the morning to record my YouTube videos and get my Learning Note out, I would love to go.  I knew I would have to edit the videos when I got back that evening, but spending time with my family was important. So, that's what I did.  We had a lovely afternoon in the mountains and I got my videos edited.  As I sat down to read my book on Wednesday night, I had a little smile on my face because the day had been fantastic, and all my important work had been done.  Creating balance in life is not about adding more and more stuff to do in a task manager. It's about how you are allocating your time each day.  What is important to you? That's what goes on your calendar. There's a time when you can sit down at your desk and do work. But there's also time when you need to stop, relax and spend time with the people you care about, or do your exercise, play with your kids or walk your dog.  Everything you want to do requires time. Yet, time is the one thing in your life that is limited.  You can accept thousands of tasks, and have hundreds of ideas to do things but none of those will happen if you do not have the time to do them.  That's why I advocate managing your work by when you will do it, rather than managing endless lists of tasks. When you focus more on your available time to do stuff, you begin eliminating more of the low-value stuff and begin to appreciate your time more.  There are thousands of things you could do, perhaps would like to do someday. None of that matters today. What matters today is you get the important things done. And choosing those are is entirely within your power.  Yes, you can go to the gym, you can also have a movie night with your friends or family. They are important (think family and relationships and health and fitness areas of focus).  Yet, if you have an important interview tomorrow and feel a couple of hours this evening spent preparing would be a better use of your time, then ask if you can postpone the movie night to tomorrow.  Tonight is not zero hour. You can move things around to better fit with your priorities for today.  And that neatly brings us back to the daily and weekly planning.  Weekly planning is about the big picture. The big things you want to get accomplished. If you decide that you will go to the gym three times this week, schedule it.  If you see that a good use of your time would be to work on that big project where the deadline is approaching, schedule time for working on it.  The daily planning is about making the necessary adjustments to deal with the things that you were unaware of when you did the weekly planning. The client with a crisis, your disorganised boss that forgot to tell you about her impending deadline, or your son coming down with a heavy cold.  It all starts and ends with your calendar. That worked perfectly well for hundreds of years, it still works today.  Task managers and notes apps support you. Your calendar is where you get to see what you're committed to and tells you if you have time to take on more, or whether taking a few days break would be more beneficial for you.  I hope that helps, Isabelle. Thank you again for sending in your question.  And thank you to you too for listening. It just remains for me now to wish you all a very very productive week.

On this episode of In The Circle, I address a deep and personal question from Annesa: Can I recover from a lifelong struggle with food and body dysmorphia resulting from sexual abuse?This inquiry sheds light on the intricate relationship between trauma, self-view, and the longing for healing in a society where many women undergo sexual assault. For us to discover true healing, we need to confront and question our deep-seated identities and beliefs and reconnect with our emotional and spiritual essence. Practicing techniques like Kundalini Yoga and mindfulness can play a huge part in helping us achieve our ultimate goal of peace and freedom. We need to be striving daily to discover our truths, discard detrimental self-beliefs, and embrace self-love and acceptance, especially when confronted with societal challenges and personal traumas. Not only does this guide us to experience true healing and recovery, it extends a beacon of hope to those on a similar healing journey.Tommy discussesThe importance of discovering one's true self beyond trauma and storiesWhy recovery is about realizing the divinity within and coming to the truth of who you areHow trauma keeps you in a story that distances you from your true selfThe multiple benefits of practicing yoga and mindfulnessHow to create an identity filled with love, compassion, and presence.Further Links & ResourcesCatch a Meeting.

Minute meetings look great on a spreadsheet. But do they actually help kids? In this episode of Graded, I dig into where this practice really came from, the myths we've built around it, and the risks nobody's talking about, and I'll share what to do instead.Minute meetings have taken on near-folklore status in school counseling. They're all over Pinterest, pushed in Facebook groups, and praised as the “must-do” way to reach every student. But here's the problem: they didn't come from research. They came from a 2011 blog post that went viral because it looked proactive and admin-friendly.I'll unpack why so many counselors have latched onto them, and the real costs hiding under the surface: wasted time, shaky privacy practices, legal risks, and the illusion of equity. Most importantly, you'll leave with stronger, evidence-backed alternatives- systematic data analysis, teacher consultation, and SEL strategies- that replace documentation theater with practices that actually change outcomes.If you've ever wondered whether minute meetings are helping or quietly hurting your program, this episode is for you.References (Annotated)American School Counselor Association. (2005). The ASCA National Model: A framework for school counseling programs (2nd ed.). Alexandria, VA: Author. This framework formalized the profession's shift toward “comprehensive, data-driven” programs. Its expectations created pressure on counselors to prove contact and impact—conditions that made quick-fix strategies like minute meetings appealing.Dahir, C. A., & Stone, C. B. (2006). The transformed school counselor. Belmont, CA: Brooks/Cole. Captures the post-ASCA Model climate of accountability and data demands.
