What if transformation isn't meant to be pretty?In this episode, I sit down with executive coach and author Rachel Burr to discuss her bold, refreshingly honest new book, Butterfly Goo: The Down-and-Dirty Truth of Transformation. Instead of chasing the polished “glow-up,” Rachel challenges us to embrace the messy, uncomfortable middle, the “goo” stage, where real growth actually happens.With more than 20 years of experience guiding leaders and professionals, Rachel blends humor, personal stories, and practical exercises to help us navigate change with authenticity and courage. We talk about leadership, identity, breaking free from expectations, and why falling apart can sometimes be the first step to becoming something stronger.If you're in the middle of a transition, feeling stuck, or leading others through change, this conversation will remind you that the mess isn't failure, it's transformation in motion.Watch, listen, and don't forget to subscribe for more conversations that help you let fear bounce and step into your next chapter.Website: https://rachelmburr.comBook: "ButterflyGoo: The Down and Dirty Truth of Transformation"https://rachelmburr.com/butterfly-goo-bookLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rachelmburrFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/rachel.m.burr.1Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rachel.m.burrwww.kimlenglingauthor.com#RachelBurr #ButterflyGoo #Transformation #PersonalGrowth #LeadershipDevelopment #AuthenticLeadership #ExecutiveCoaching #SelfHelpBooks #AuthorInterview #LetFearBounce #WomenInLeadership #GrowthMindset #PodcastEpisode #EmbraceTheMess

Let’s kick off Season 2 of The Berenstain Bears with the classic “Mama Gets Angry” episode “The Messy Room” and follow it up with the Raffish Ralph classic “The Terrible Termite!”
Ben and Mary Bridges (Messy Is Happy) recap Tokyo Marathon weekend, celebrating Mary's 3:00:01 PB and discussing her rapid progression from 3:13 (Chicago 2024) to 3:04 (Shanghai) to nearly breaking three hours. They attribute the improvement to consistent training, gradually building to ~100 km weeks, and focused mindset work. Ben reflects on his emotional on-camera reaction at the finish and shares his own marathon journey, progressing from 2:50 at the 2019 London Marathon to 2:44 in Chicago, with a long-term goal of running in the 2:30s. He also recounts his Chicago trip where he raced well despite being jet-lagged and unwell. They explain the niche they are building with This Messy Happy across YouTube and Instagram - combining coaching-focused content, relatable storytelling around their own running journeys, and light comedy reels. They also discuss how the value of traditional tutorial-style content is shifting as tools like ChatGPT become more widely used. Looking ahead, they outline a "Six in 26" idea for 2026 - a travel-heavy year attempting six marathons while documenting the experience. The conversation also touches on leaving teaching jobs in Thailand to pursue content creation and coaching full time, creators who inspire their work, and Thailand's rapidly growing running scene known for its celebratory atmosphere and safe places to run.

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross breaks down five underrated career strategies that quietly separate high performers from everyone else. From investing in yourself without permission to thinking in decades instead of quarters, this is a tactical blueprint for anyone serious about long-term growth. If you're playing the long game in your career, this episode gives you the mindset and structure to win it. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. Invest in Yourself (Without Waiting for Permission) - Stop waiting for HR or leadership to approve your growth. Identify your skill gaps and proactively close them. Books, courses, and communities offer massive ROI over time. Treat self-education as an investment, not an expense. 2. Take On the Projects No One Else Wants - Volunteer for high-visibility, low-competition initiatives. - Align yourself with projects leadership cares about. - “Messy” projects often create the biggest breakthroughs. - Growth lives where others hesitate. 3. Close Skill Gaps Before They Cost You Opportunities - Be honest about where you're weak (public speaking, strategy, tools, etc.). - Build deliberate practice into your routine. - Don't stay passive while others outpace you. - Small improvements compound into major career leverage. 4. Build a Body of Work Outside Your Job - Your employer doesn't own your expertise. - Publish ideas on LinkedIn, newsletters, GitHub, podcasts, or blogs. - Contribute to communities and become known for value. - Visibility creates opportunity especially in uncertain markets. 5. Find a Mentor Who Tells You the Truth - You don't need a cheerleader, you need critique. - Ask for blunt, honest feedback about your blind spots. - Growth accelerates when your thinking is challenged. - Seek mentors internally, externally, or both. 6. Join Rooms Where Serious People Talk About Real Problems - Surround yourself with ambitious peers. - Learn by observing how others solve complex challenges. - Communities can act as informal coaching ecosystems. - Exposure to higher standards raises your own. 7. Think in Decades, Not Quarters - Define the skills, reputation, and life you want in 10 years. - Reverse-engineer what you need to invest in today. - Systems beat short-term hustle. - Long-term clarity drives better short-term decisions. —
What's up Bros? Other than we told you so, there is a lot to discuss on this episode. Ciara reacts to hearing the news about Jesse wanting to make out with her as a 'joke'. Feeling objectified, which is an insecurity of hers given past experiences, she gets upset. Jesse, who had all of the things to say in a confessional, clams up when Ciara questions him about it. KJ and Ben both have eyes for Dara, but KJ and her seem to have a deeper connection. Soft Bar is almost complete and Carl is getting excited. West gets roped into the Jesse/ Ciara situation because Lindsay informed Ciara that "West said he didnt care"... WEST MOST CERTAINLY CARED! WE MUST RECTIFY THIS INJUSTICE.

Best-selling author and strategist Kathleen Schaub, former VP of the CMO Advisory Practice at IDC, shares how chasing more data, tools and a tighter strategy doesn't automatically calm the chaos. Don't fall into the trap of viewing marketing as a "vending machine," and embrace AI with a "navigator" mindset. Focus on the good things versus dwelling only on the bad, and open yourself up as a leader that amazing possibilities await you might not even see today. Creating a work culture focused on continuous learning, composure, entrepreneurialism, empathy and trust creates your greatest impact.
Another wave of low pressure brings a mixed bag of precipitation for Thursday night and Friday morning.
Picture a physio who launched her first online program with seven people enrolled. Six of whom she already knew personally. A sales page with no checkout connected. A program she hadn't finished recording yet.That was Vicky Stewart's launch one.Her most recent launch just crossed six figures.Today's guest, Dr. Vicky Stewart, is a vestibular physiotherapist who spent years watching patients with chronic dizziness fall through the cracks of traditional healthcare. She built The Shift, a 10-week online group program, to reach the people her clinical hours never could. She didn't have a following, a marketing budget, or a polished funnel when she started. She had a clear problem, a willingness to start messy, and the psychological capacity to treat early results as data rather than verdicts.This conversation is about what it actually looks like to build something over time, across seven launches, when the numbers are small at first and the fear is loud throughout.HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS:1️⃣ Your First Launch Is Not a Verdict, It's a Data Point — Seven people enrolled, six of whom Vicky already knew. Most people would have interpreted that as proof the idea didn't work. Vicky interpreted it as proof of concept. If one person paid, others will too. That reframe, from verdict to data, is one of the most reliable predictors of whether a therapist keeps going or quietly shelves the whole thing.2️⃣ You Don't Need a Large Following to Fill a Program — Vicky built her early launches almost entirely through existing professional relationships, referrer networks, and speaking opportunities, including a keynote in Dubai, before she had any meaningful social media presence. The skills therapists already use to build referral networks in private practice transfer directly. You probably already have more reach than you think.3️⃣ Messy and Started Beats Perfect and Waiting, Every Single Time — Vicky launched her beta without a checkout page connected to her sales page. She was already in open cart week when she found out. She sorted it in real time, ran the program anyway, and built everything else from there. Seven launches later, she has a waitlist, a team member supporting her community, and her first six-figure result. None of that happens if she waits until she feels ready.YOU'LL ALSO HEAR:How Vicky's pricing evolved from $330 for her beta to $1,697 per enrolment, and what had to shift internally to make each price increase feel possibleWhy researching competitors actually made things harder, not easier, and what she decided to do insteadWhat it looked like practically to build this while working four days a week with three kids at homeThe moment her husband took a redundancy and what that did to her approach going into her most recent launchWhy she decided early on she was never going to dance on Instagram, and how she filled her program anywayThe listener question that stopped me in my tracks: "If you'd waited until you felt completely ready, where would you be today?"What Vicky says is the one breadcrumb she'd leave anyone who is still sitting on their ideaRESOURCES:Connect with Vicky Stewart:Website: dizzyresolve.comInstagram: @dizzyresolveYouTube: @dizzyresolveTherapists Rising Programs:Caseload to Course Bootcamp: therapistsrising.com/bootcampThe Incubator: therapistsrising.com/incubatorInstagram: @dr.hayleykellySUBSCRIBE & REVIEW: If you enjoyed this episode, please subscribe and leave a review on Apple Podcasts.

Do you hide your emotions away to make others comfortable?

This episode wasn't supposed to go this way. I had a plan. I was ready to talk about reinvention. And then a simple phone call about a truck recall tipped the scale. In real time, I felt the overwhelm hit — not because of the truck, but because of everything else. The invisible mental load of running businesses. The constant tabs open in my brain. The 1099s, staffing, client work, long commutes, family logistics. The weight that doesn't clock out at 5pm. In this episode of Operation Be, I unpack what it actually feels like to carry that load — especially when your partner hasn't owned a company and may not fully understand the cognitive strain. We talk about how gender defaults still quietly show up in daily responsibilities, what happens when you admit you're drowning and don't feel heard, and why expecting superhuman output is a losing game. I also share practical strategies that genuinely help — voice reminders, labeled alarms, systems that reduce decision fatigue — and how reframing pressure as privilege can shift your perspective without dismissing your reality. This one is honest. Messy. Real-time. Because growth isn't polished — it's practiced.
For Anna, no two work days at A Rocha Kenya are the same. She may be underwater doing a bit of coral gardening, helping scouts from Dakacha forest think through a Christian response to a machete attack, writing an impact report for a major donor or counting crows from a rooftop. In all the variety there is consistency though - in her love for God and for Kenya, and in her determination to support her team to be effective and hopeful conservationists.This is a frank and unvarnished account of how one brave, joyful and faith-filled woman is responding to God's call to care for his creation.

In this message from our series “A Good, Messy, Beautiful Life,” Pastor Joey McLaughlin unpacks Ecclesiastes 8 and confronts one of the hardest truths about life: you are not in control. Through Solomon's reflections, we're reminded that politics, the economy, justice, our reputation, and even the day of our death ultimately rest in God's hands. So what do we do when life feels unfair and the outcomes don't make sense? Instead of offering easy answers to suffering, Ecclesiastes calls us to surrender control, trust God's sovereignty, and receive each day as a gift. In a world that feels chaotic and unpredictable, the good life isn't found in having all the answers — it's found in trusting the King who does.

Send a textPeaches and Trent riff on an uncomfortable truth the Air Force rarely markets well: per capita, it's the most lethal force in modern warfare. From GWAT kill ratios and budget realities to why “Chair Force” jokes might actually be strategic misdirection, this episode spirals into a candid breakdown of how the services really operate. They dig into logistics versus lethality, why the Army wins wars by sustaining them, how the Navy quietly controls the underwater domain, and why the Space Force affects everyone whether they realize it or not. The conversation also tackles SOCOM funding myths, why selection and pipelines aren't interchangeable, the reality of special mission units, and how expensive it is to create—and keep—elite capability. Messy, funny, blunt, and very Ones Ready.⏱️ Timestamps: 00:00 Ones Ready intro and sponsor plug 03:00 OTS explanation and what it is not 06:45 Peaches' per-capita lethality hot take 09:30 Air Force vs Army vs Navy reality check 12:00 Budget myths and service comparisons 14:00 Space Force impact explained simply 16:00 GWAT lethality and air dominance 18:30 Logistics wins wars—Army perspective 21:00 Why ST isn't a unilateral force 23:30 SOCOM funding myths clarified 26:30 Selection vs pipeline differences 31:00 Why SOCOM doesn't “shut down” pipelines 35:30 Competition, standards, and why comparison is dangerous 40:00 Cost of training elite forces 45:00 Life in special mission units vs white side 49:00 Panels, recruiting, and community outreach 54:00 Lethality, truth, and why the Air Force undersells itself 56:30 Closing thoughts and upcoming OTS events

Whew - Seven years on the road together! In this special anniversary “switcheroo,” Jenny and Toni turn the tables and interview each other—complete with laughter, reflection, and a whole lot of PATHPod heart. From messy beginnings (“Messy…but in the best way”) to the calm‑within‑the‑chaos of year seven, the co‑hosts look back at what they've built, what they've survived, and what continues to light them up.They revisit the early days, the barriers that dropped thanks to helpers like Joe and Natalie Mamlin, and the unexpected evolution of a true community. They talk about the moments that mattered—especially during COVID—when connection, generosity, and listener openness made it clear: this work matters. They share the hard seasons too, including caring for their dads, and how the podcast became a lifeboat and a source of growth.Jenny and Toni explore how PATH has stretched them as humans, opened doors they never imagined, and expanded their definition of “positive approaches to health.” They celebrate the ripple effects, the collaborations, the retreats, and the ever‑growing PATH family. And of course—there's music. Lots of it.This episode is a love letter to the journey, the community, and the joy of saying yes. As Toni puts it, “It's like a Chipotle burrito—how do you wrap it up? There's so much inside of it.”Thank you for being on the road with us. Here's to the next season of PATH!

Today we're diving into all things courage, dream-chasing and the signs along the way.
The Experience Strategy Podcast | substack.theexperiencestrategist.com A post on X went viral — 38,000 reshares, 83 million reads. Written by respected AI voice Matt Schumer, it opens with a gut-punch analogy: think back to February 2020. Most of us weren't paying attention to a virus spreading overseas. Then in three weeks, everything changed. Schumer's argument is that we are in a similar "this seems overblown" phase right now — except what's coming is bigger than COVID. Dave, Joe, and Aransas dig into the article, push back where it's overblown, and land on what experience strategists actually need to do about it. What's in This Episode The article's core argument. AI isn't just getting better — it's getting faster, more capable at complex tasks, and increasingly independent of human involvement. The latest models are now building and debugging the next version of themselves. Schumer's point: no matter how complex or human your job feels, it's getting closer to AI's reach by the millisecond, not the minute. What Schumer says to do about it — and the team's reaction: Use AI seriously. Don't dabble. Understand what it can actually do. Get your financial house in order. This isn't the time to be overextended. Lean into what's hardest to replace. Anything you do primarily on a screen is likely a 1–2 year exposure. Rethink what you're telling your kids. Their dreams just got closer — and the path there looks different. Get in the habit of adapting now, not when you're forced to. Joe's take: good prescription, overblown description. AI is a tool, and no technology in history has eliminated more jobs than it created. The real question is mindset: executives who come to AI asking "how do I automate people out?" will find exactly that. Executives who ask "how do I augment my people?" will find something much more powerful in the human-plus-AI combination. The disruption, as with all disruptive innovation, starts at the bottom of the value chain and moves up — which means you need to be working above it. The echo chamber problem. Joe raises a concern that's already documented: AI increasingly trains on AI output, creating what researchers are calling model collapse — a cyclical echo chamber where biases get replicated and amplified rather than corrected. The telephone game at civilizational scale. Aransas connects this to the show Pluribus, which she found boring as a narrative but compelling as a metaphor for hive-mind homogenization. What experience strategists specifically need right now — three points from Dave: Provenance. As AI commoditizes outputs, original sources become more valuable, not less. If you're building consumer insights without actually talking to consumers, you're already three steps from provenance. The strategists who can signal authentic, original sourcing will be disproportionately valuable. Cross-disciplinary thinking. Experience strategists have been operating too narrowly — personas, journey maps, CX mechanics. AI gives you superpowers across marketing, planning, and adjacent disciplines. Use them. Going deeper on the same narrow lane is the wrong direction. A strategic point of view. Not an opinion. A point of view. The difference: a POV is grounded in a real perspective on where things are headed and what companies should do about it. Joe's Transformation Economy is the model. Right now, the most defensible experience POV is transformation — because transformation is the economic offering most deeply dependent on human expertise, authentic relationships, and the kind of curated AI deployment that actually requires strategic judgment. The era of typos and texture. Aransas's 15-year-old put it well: right now, the most human signal is imperfection. Messy feelings, quirky punctuation, genuine awkwardness — these are becoming markers of authenticity in a world of smoothed-out AI output. The demand for what feels genuinely human is rising alongside the supply of what doesn't. Key Quotes "Knowledge work has changed forever. That is going to be a rough adjustment for all of us — and all experience strategists are knowledge workers." — Dave Norton "If you come with the mindset of how can I get rid of people, you'll find ways to get rid of people. But if you come with a mindset of how this augments my people's skills and makes them better — you'll be amazed at what human plus AI can do." — Joe Pine "Provenance is going to become more and more important. The inputs have to be better. Original data, original source — how do you get to that?" — Dave Norton "The most defensible experience point of view you can have right now is probably transformation — because it's the one built on technology and human expertise together." — Aransas Savas "This isn't a sit-on-our-hands-and-wait situation. This is a get-engaged situation." — Aransas Savas Referenced "Something Big Is Happening" by Matt Schumer — [https://x.com/mattshumer_/status/2021256989876109403] The Transformation Economy by B. Joseph Pine II — available now wherever books are sold Anthropic CEO quote: "AI will be substantially smarter than almost all humans at almost all tasks by 2026 or 2027."

Ash Patel & Amanda Cruise have a conversation with Chad Freeman about how most mobile home park investors struggle with overpaying and navigating a fragmented market where prices skyrocket once deals hit broker listings.

If you're tired of chasing thin deals in a crowded space, this episode unlocks how to outlast, outsmart, and secure true value in an asset class often dismissed as too tough.

Margo gets raw about losing four women in her life within months, navigating tough emotions as a caregiver, and having to coach herself when her biggest cheerleader said no to her dreams.She talks about her own process of finding a coach, what she discovered about herself, and why showing up messy and real matters more than having everything figured out.

We're all works in progress, and authenticity gives others permission to be real too.Timestamps:0:00-Opening: Shadow and Light1:06-Meet Margo Davis-Founder of Fate Into Destiny3:31-Margo's Downsizing Experience & Transformation5:54-How the Business Name Was Born7:17-Getting Startedwith Louise Hay14:50-Inner Healing Coaching Approach17:03-Margo's Personal Healing Journey19:03-Finding the Right Coach21:31-Representation in Wellness Spaces22:08-A Turning Point25:30-Loss of Her Cheer Squad27:45-Forgiveness and Understanding28:43-Processing Grief and Loss32:00-Discovering Reiki34:05-How Reiki Complements Coaching35:36-Demystifying the Treatment Room39:10-Intuitive Reiki Sessions41:13-Caregiver Burnout-Personal Experience45:50-Making the Hard Decision for Care48:31-Asking for Support as a Caregiver51:02-Aging Gracefully With Margo56:30-How to Connect with Margo57:07-Final Thoughts on Healing58:04-Closing Learn more about Margo at https://www.fateintodestiny.com/Andrea's Links: https://beacons.ai/andrea_kennedy Andrea's Reiki Business Success Course:https://www.mainstreamreiki.com/reiki-business-success-course Visit our website Visit our Amazon Shop Sponsored by The Mainstream Reiki Community https://members.mainstreamreiki.com/ HealthyLine offers revolutionary PEMF and far-infrared mats.

Ever wonder why your kids' “school projects” either fizzle out or turn into frantic, last-minute glue-sticking marathons? Or maybe you secretly dread “interest-led learning” because you picture glitter explosions and science fair-level chaos? I get it. But what if project-based learning—done right—could actually bring joyful curiosity, deeper learning, and family connection…without sending you to the craft store (or losing your mind)?In this episode, I sit down with my real-life friend and local homeschool teacher, Karla Schlatter. Karla's a mama of four boys, a champion of lifelong learning, and a pro at weaving meaningful projects into home education. Together, we peel back the curtain on what project-based learning really looks like in our actual, messy homeschool lives.We share what sparked our love for this hands-on approach, how it's played out with both our self-motivated and less-eager kids, and some hilarious mishaps along the way (never underestimate a determined kid with a cardboard stash or the allure of rabbit poop “science experiments”).We unpack:Why “interest-led” projects are more than just crafts or busywork—and how they differ from those assembly-line curriculum assignmentsHow Karla designed a high school project course that has our teens actually caring about deadlines, peer feedback, and creativity (hello, executive function skills!)The magic (and mild panic) of letting go of control as a homeschool mom—and why that's where the real learning happensPitfalls we've both hit, including perfectionism, decision-paralysis, and that ever-present urge to “just do it my way”How to scaffold and support reluctant or overwhelmed kids so they can actually succeed (and learn from mistakes)What you'll learn:The two types of project-based learning—and which one sparks more meaningful growthHow to create accountability, positive peer pressure, and genuine motivation (even if your kid is a world-class procrastinator)Strategies for building projects around your child's true interests—even if those interests seem a bit out-there (rabbit fertilizer, anyone?)Why it's worth teaching kids to “break big goals into small steps”—and how project learning does just thatWays to start small and make project-based learning a natural part of your family culture, whether you have a group or you're flying soloResources Mentioned:Land That I Love from Homeschool Better TogetherNavigating High School Course4-H and county fairs for kid-friendly project experiencesColleen
