Get your FFMI calculated automatically with the Physique & Biofeedback Tracker in Physique University to track your actual muscle development over time and understand exactly what phase of training you should focus on next. This special link also gets you a FREE custom nutrition plan:bit.ly/wwpu-free-plan--Is your strength training actually building muscle?Scale weight fluctuates, body fat measurements are inconsistent, and progress photos depend on lighting and angles.There's one metric that cuts through all this noise:Fat-Free Mass Index (FFMI)It shows your actual muscle development regardless of whether you're carrying extra fat or feeling bloated, and once you understand yours, it changes everything about setting goals and how to focus your training.Most lifters have never heard of FFMI. Unlike body weight or even body fat percentage, FFMI isolates your actual muscular development from everything else, giving you clarity about your progress that no other measurement can.Main Takeaways:FFMI measures your muscularity independent of body fat percentageTwo people with the same training experience can have vastly different FFMI numbers, requiring completely different approachesBuilding muscle takes years, while losing fat takes months, so you need a more precise way to track thisYour FFMI determines whether you should prioritize muscle building or fat loss (vs. your feelings or the mirror)Episode Resources:Chef's Foundry non-toxic ceramic cookware (50% off): witsandweights.com/chefsfoundryBody Recomp Workshop replay and bonuses at live.witsandweights.com (includes free custom nutrition plan)Timestamps:0:00 - What is FFMI and why it's a game changer 5:06 - 2 scenarios that reveal everything about your training focus 8:16 - FFMI values explained (what your number actually means) 11:15 - How FFMI determines whether you should cut vs. bulk 17:12 - Natural vs. enhanced FFMI limit 19:45 - Why low FFMI means muscle building is your priority 22:14 - How the fitness industry gets muscle vs. fat loss backward 25:29 - Tracking FFMI over time to validate objective progress 27:03 - Muscle development vs. body compositionSupport the show

Matt Sciannella hosts Dale Harrison in a three part summer event series to cover the intricacies of Brand and Performance marketing. This is the first part of the final event: covering where Marketing ROI fails, and digging into the problems with measuring Revenue. Dale and Matt get into the conventional approaches to calculating marketing ROI, highlighting their limitations and presenting a more comprehensive framework. The discussion sets the stage for a robust understanding of marketing's true impact on a business's financial health.Throughout the episode, Matt and Dale critique traditional metrics used by major platforms like Facebook, HubSpot, and Salesforce, arguing that these models fail to capture the real contributions of marketing efforts. They stress the importance of focusing on gross margins rather than revenue, and present a compelling argument for using contribution margin as a more accurate representation of marketing's ROI. The conversation also touches on the historical neglect of brand marketing in favor of performance marketing, particularly in the B2B sector, and the repercussions that this shift has had on long-term business value.Episode topics: #marketing, #demandgeneration, #brand, #B2BSaaS, #digitalmarketing #ROI #return #investment______Subscribe to Stacking Growth on Spotify and YouTubeLearn More About Refine LabsSign Up For Our NewsletterConnect with the hosts:Matt SciannellaDale Harrison

In this episode of Leading Human, host Chad interviews Radhika Dutt, author of 'Radical Product Thinking' and the forthcoming book 'Escaping the Performance Trap.' Dutt challenges the conventional wisdom of goal-setting in performance management, arguing that tools like OKRs and KPIs often backfire. Instead, she introduces an alternative framework focused on detailed vision statements, puzzle setting, and puzzle solving, which encourages continuous learning and adaptation. The conversation explores the history of goal-setting, its limitations in complex environments, and practical steps for implementing Dutt's approach. Author of Radical Product Thinking, a speaker and entrepreneur, Radhika Dutt has participated in 5 acquisitions, 2 of which were companies she founded. She's an advisor on Product Thinking to the Monetary Authority of Singapore. She's also an MIT grad with SB and M.Eng in EECS, and speaks nine languages.01:12 Challenging Traditional Management03:38 The History and Problems with Goal Setting07:25 Alternative Approaches to Alignment14:56 Implementing Puzzle Setting and Solving20:30 Overcoming Resistance to Change26:23 Lightning Round and ConclusionRadhika's LinkedIn profileRadhika's WebsiteRadical Product Thinking (website for the methodology and Radhika's first book)Speaker reelLinks to the OHL framework/ toolkitWant a communication and wellbeing workshop that actually sticks?

What if I told you there was one metric that could truly move your business forward—and most business owners aren't even paying attention to it? That's what we're diving into in this episode of More than a Few Words. I had a conversation with jake Tlapek, aka the Wizard of Marketing, who's spent the last decade helping struggling brands become high-growth success stories using battle-tested SEO and creative problem-solving. Episode Recap: When most people think of marketing metrics, they zero in on traffic, leads, or social likes. But Jake makes the case for a bigger-picture indicator: Share of Brand Voice—a measure of how often your brand shows up compared to competitors. It's not a tidy little number you can find in a single report. Measuring it requires stitching together insights from a variety of sources. It's not a tidy little number you can find in a single report. Measuring it requires stitching together insights from a variety of sources. But if you're serious about building a visible, respected brand, this metric can't be ignored. We talked about why it matters more than ever in the era of AI search, and what you can start doing right now—even if you don't have access to fancy tools or a big team. Key Points: Share of Brand Voice is about visibility in your space: how often your brand is mentioned, cited, or seen versus your competitors. It's not easily measured in one place—you'll need to combine analytics, branded search volume, and SEO tools for a clearer picture. Tools like SparkToro and Search Atlas can help if you're ready to go deeper. Don't overlook your Google Search Console and branded keyword searches—they're a great place to start. AI Search is Changing the Game AI doesn't just answer one query. It generates dozens of variations before delivering results. To show up in AI overviews, your content should answer multiple versions of the same core question. Visibility in AI results depends on pattern recognition—the more your brand appears across the web, the more likely it is to be included in AI-generated answers. Actionable Takeaways for Women Business Owners: Start by tracking branded searches in Google Search Console. If no one is looking for you by name, it's time to build awareness. Answer variations of your most-asked questions across your blog, website, and social platforms. Repetition is your friend. Get featured elsewhere. Guest blogs, podcast interviews, and external mentions help create brand signals AI can detect. Create short-form video content. Every video gets transcribed and indexed—boosting both search and AI visibility. Don't just post—get credited. Whether you're guesting on a podcast or writing for another site, make sure your name and brand are clearly attached. Jake Tlapek Jake, often called the  Wizard of Marketing has spent the last decade turning struggling brands into high-growth businesses using no-fluff strategy, battle-tested SEO, and a heavy dose of creative problem-solving. From WordPress to PPC, content to conversion, he  break down the complex so business owners can actually win online.

Summary:   Can love really be quantified? In this enlightening episode of Higher Density Living, Zoey Charif reveals how heartbreak and data led her to design the groundbreaking Love Formula. From spiritual growth to psychological clarity, discover how compatibility, self-love, and purpose can be measured and mastered. Tune in and transform your understanding of relationships through the lens of consciousness and calculated connection.   Overview:   What if your most painful breakup held the key to unlocking your highest potential in love? This episode explores that profound question through the eyes of Zoey Charif, an Afghan-born, Vancouver-raised analyst turned relationship alchemist. After enduring cycles of unhealed romantic patterns, Zoey transmuted her emotional pain into purpose by crafting the “Love Formula”—a method to assess compatibility based on values, traits, and emotional intelligence.   Jason Rigby and Zoey dive into how trauma, distorted self-worth, and cultural expectations can shape our relationship choices unconsciously. Zoey's approach doesn't eliminate emotion—it elevates it. Listeners will learn how to calculate their “Self Score,” identify top values, and consciously match with a partner whose score complements their own. From admiration as a foundation for love to understanding why purpose heals, this episode bridges the analytical and the ethereal, offering spiritual seekers a method to love wisely and fully.   Timestamps: 00:00 Introduction to Love and Self-Awareness 02:39 Personal Insights and Self-Discovery 05:30 The Love Formula Explained 08:25 Understanding Compatibility and Attraction 11:07 The Role of Purpose in Relationships 13:59 Navigating Emotions and Impulsivity 16:45 Mismatch Relationships and Their Consequences 19:26 Celebrating Success in Relationships 22:10 Addressing Insecurities and Communication 25:00 The Impact of Trauma on Self-Worth 27:22 Understanding Toxicity in Relationships 30:25 Identifying Imbalances in Partner Dynamics 33:00 The Role of Self-Confidence in Relationships 37:35 Exploring Personality Types in Relationships 43:10 The Importance of Boundaries 48:50 Recognizing Deceivers in Dating   Quotes: “You can admire your partner without losing yourself.” – Zoey Charif “Our emotions are primal. Our choices are divine.” – Jason Rigby “Love isn't luck. It's clarity, courage, and calculation.” – Zoey Charif   Takeaways: Self-awareness is crucial for healthy relationships. The Love Formula helps measure compatibility scientifically. Understanding personal values can improve relationship choices. Attraction should not overshadow compatibility in relationships.

Ever wonder what your associate doctors should really be producing? Or how to fairly structure pay in today's competitive market?   Welcome to the latest installment of the Power Hour's Quarterly Metrics Roundup, where this quarter's spotlight is on one of the most crucial, and often misunderstood topics: how to pay your doctors properly. 

JJ Reynolds from Vision Labs joins Will Laurenson to break down why most eCommerce brands are swimming in data but still making guesses. They explore the flaws in plug-and-play analytics tools, how to clarify what “working” actually means, and why percentage increases over time matter more than most dashboards show. JJ shares actionable frameworks like the “two-metric tango” and explains how to build a smart, scalable tech stack for brands doing £10–15 million. Whether you're chasing profitability or growth, this episode will reshape how you think about analytics and decision-making.

In this episode, Tony Mormino chats with Nathan Martin from O'dell HVAC Group in Ontario to explore the Canadian HVAC landscape—from custom VRF-enabled air handlers to electrification, decarbonization, and why Canada's still clinging to the metric system. It's a fun, insightful cross-border conversation packed with real-world strategies, industry trends, and a few laughs about voltage, refrigerants, and the great Fahrenheit vs. Celsius debate.

What if everything you thought you knew about heart disease was wrong? In this eye-opening episode of the Metabolic Freedom Podcast, Ben Azadi sits down with Dr. Philip Ovadia, a heart surgeon who once followed the standard medical playbook until he realized it wasn't helping his patients or himself. Together, they dive into one of the most misunderstood topics in health: what really causes heart disease. And it's probably not what you've been told. It's not cholesterol — it's insulin resistance. Dr. Ovadia explains how testing your fasting insulin could be the missing piece in your health journey. He also shares why he gave up carbs for a more carnivore-style diet and questions whether statins are really the miracle drug they're often made out to be. This isn't just medical theory. Dr. Ovadia has lived it. He brings both personal and professional insight to the table, helping you learn how to spot metabolic issues early and take meaningful steps toward better health. If you're ready to rethink everything you've been told about heart disease, this is an episode you won't want to miss.

In business, we're taught that profit is the ultimate measure of success. But what if the numbers on your balance sheet are misleading? According to business finance expert Avi Pinsky, many businesses fail not because they're unprofitable, but because they run out of cash. In a recent podcast episode, he revealed the often-overlooked truth: positive cash flow is the foundation of a healthy, growing business. Avi calls cash flow the “sixth lever”—the one that holds the other five together. You can be great at generating leads and closing sales. Still, if you're not managing your receivables, forecasting your cash position, and separating "revenue" from "cash-in-the-bank," you're building on a house of cards. Avi's real-world examples demonstrate that a profitable company can fail without careful cash flow management.

Whether you're preparing for due diligence or just want a stronger grip on your revenue story, understanding RPO can give you an edge.
