When you're just starting out in your career, the feedback loop is crystal clear. There's a cause and effect to your actions that lead to instantaneous rewards or consequences.  But the more success you achieve, the more muddled this signal becomes.  And the more distorted your signal, the more stressed and burnt out you become… while your confidence and self-esteem slowly evaporate.  Here's the worst part: A muddled signal is a sign from your internal environment that it needs a software update. But it's sneaky - fear disguises itself as prudence and internal consequences are delayed from your external world. And so, you push harder, exert more effort, and fall deeper into this vicious cycle.  But there's a better way…  In today's show, you'll discover why your signal becomes so muddled, how success exacerbates the distortion, and why cleaning your signal and gaining clarity requires a completely different approach to what you're doing now.  Listen now.  Show Highlights Include: The insidious "Degraded Clarity" trap that sneaks up on you and slowly spoils your success (and why most people don't even notice it) (1:23)  Have you silently watched your sense of ease vanish and get replaced with frustration? Here's the psychology behind why this happens, why it's more common than you think, and what you can do about it (2:47)  The "Tyranny of Metrics" mishap that happens between the external and internal world - and why this explains why your results can lead to peace and serenity (3:38)   The dark side of success nobody talks about (and only a select few actually understand) that undermines your judgment (4:44) What romanticizing the "Garage Phase" of your career means on a psychological and emotional level. (Ignoring this "shot across the bow" can teach your mind the exact opposite lesson.) (7:13)  How adapting to your environment dulls your career trajectory (even though the ability to adapt is a good and natural skill) (8:57)  Why internal constraints - not skill, effort, stress, or ambition - are the culprit behind hitting the invisible "upper limit" of growth (11:02)  How fear LARPs as prudence, experience, and even wisdom (15:52)  For more about David Tian, go here: https://www.davidtianphd.com/about/  Feeling like success in one area of life has come at the expense of another? Maybe you've crushed it in your career, but your relationships feel strained. Or you've built the life you thought you wanted, yet there's still something important missing. I've put together a free 3-minute assessment to help you see what's really holding you back. Answer a few simple questions, and you'll get instant access to a personalized masterclass that speaks directly to where you are right now. It's fast. It's practical. And it could change the way you approach leadership, love, and fulfillment. Take the first step here → https://dtphd.com/quiz

Drew and Tim take a hard and honest look at how success is defined in today's church culture. In a world obsessed with numbers—attendance, giving, buildings, and platforms—this episode challenges listeners to ask whether we've borrowed the wrong scorecard. While metrics can be helpful tools, they were never meant to replace the deeper work of God in transformed lives.This conversation contrasts ministry and business, acknowledging that while both may track growth, only one is called to pursue obedience over outcomes. Drew and Tim emphasize that behind every number is a name, a story, and a soul—and that heaven celebrates faithfulness long before it celebrates growth. Churches can be full and still spiritually empty, active yet unchanged, orthodox but lifeless.At the heart of the episode is a simple but piercing truth: success in ministry is obedience to God's calling. Sometimes obedience leads to growth. Sometimes it leads to obscurity. Either way, Jesus—not results—is the goal. Through personal stories, biblical examples, and real-life ministry moments, this episode invites leaders and believers alike to redefine success, resist comparison, and pursue faithfulness over fame. If you've ever wondered whether what you're doing “counts,” this conversation will realign your heart back to what matters most—keeping your eyes on Jesus.Check out our brand-new merch store! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://eyesonjesuspodcast-shop.fourthwall.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get all our links in one easy place! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Get the Eyes on Jesus 90 Day Discernment Devotional⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://a.co/d/3v8963s⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Join our Group on Facebook- Eyes on Jesus podcast community ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.facebook.com/groups/eyesonjesuspodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Email feedback, questions or show topic ideas to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠eyesonjesuspodcast@outlook.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Drew Barker: Follow Drew on ⁠Instagram ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/pastordrewbarker⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Drew's church's website ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://yes.online/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠For more information on Tim Ferrara: ⁠ ⁠ Get all his links in one place- to his social media, all 3 of his books, and more ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠at ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://linktr.ee/discerning_dad⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Send us a MessageIn this episode of Culture Change RX, I discuss the importance of setting challenging goals within organizations. Soft goals do not lead to significant improvements and that setting hard goals can spark creativity, increase engagement, and surface underlying issues that need to be addressed. By aiming for ambitious targets, organizations can achieve more in less time and foster a culture of motivation and collaboration. I encourage you to embrace the challenge of setting big goals for the upcoming year, particularly in the healthcare sector, where the stakes are high.Key Takeaways“Soft (easy) goals,” leading to slow incremental improvement or growth, just don't serve us.“Less is more” when it comes to the quantity of goals, this allows for each goal to be more challenging.Setting hard goals sparks creativity.We can't ignore certain challenges any longer if they interfere with achieving a big goal.High engagement is prompted by a big goal that requires an “all in effort” to win.Difficult goals lead to making more progress in less time.We should win at providing safe and satisfying care and creating a best-place-to-work organization.We're stepping forward in a bigger way—growing our team of rural healthcare experts, growing our capabilities by adding a strategic planning division … all of this so we can expand our ability to help even more rural hospitals and other small healthcare organizations in 2026. … We'd love to explore how we can support your organization in being the provider- and employer-of-choice so you can keep care local and margins strong!

It's the hardest thing, and it determines everything.When you're ready to take your culture to the next level, here are three ways I can help you:1.

Each episode breaks marketing and sales systems into clear, repeatable steps, so growth feels intentional instead of reactive.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, the focus is on the widening gap between franchises and boutique gyms, why paid marketing is no longer optional, and how consistent growth in 2026 depends on understanding real numbers like lead conversion, lifetime value, and churn instead of relying on organic reach alone.Episode OutlineWhy organic reach continues to decline on platforms like Instagram and Facebook.How franchises dominate attention by spending $7,000+ per month on ads.The reality of churn rates and why organic growth alone hits a ceiling.Paid marketing vs. organic marketing: trust-building versus visibility.The “halo effect” and how consistent ads increase perceived credibility.Why outdated advice from mentors can quietly stall gym growth.The importance of systems, processes, and fast lead follow-up.Understanding unit economics: lead-to-close rate, cost per lead, lifetime value.Building a predictable growth engine instead of relying on short-term wins.Real-world examples of gyms growing through long-term paid strategies.December-only offer for gyms already generating $15k+ monthly revenue.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Marketing in 2026: The Role of Organic and Paid Strategies02:18 The Halo Effect and Trust in Advertising08:13 The Impact of Increased Competition and Churn Rates15:49 The Importance of Metrics and Long-Term Marketing22:04 Real-World Examples and Practical Advice26:11 Special Offer and Final ThoughtsAction TakenPublish December special details on the website with clear sign-up instructions.Add a direct call-to-action to book a free assessment.Prepare onboarding timelines with a 7–14 day setup window.Set capacity limits and communicate the client cap clearly.Create a reporting template to track lead-to-close rate, cost per lead, cost per acquisition, lifetime value, and churn.Launch the December promotion offering $500 off for qualified gyms.Close enrollment at year-end or once spots are filled.ConclusionGrowth in 2026 won't come from hoping posts reach the right people.

In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Dana and Sandy discuss the importance of measuring team energy and performance metrics in dental practices. They emphasize that while patient care is paramount, tracking statistics can enhance care quality and team morale. The conversation explores the concept of buy-in from team members, the significance of accountability, and how metrics can serve as tools for improvement rather than judgment. The episode concludes with actionable steps for practices to foster a positive culture through measurement and celebration of achievements. takeaways Your team's energy is crucial for productivity. Statistics can enhance patient care, not detract from it. Tracking metrics helps connect efforts to results. Buy-in from the team is essential for success. Purpose should always come before profit. Celebrating small wins boosts team morale. Metrics can reveal blind spots in practice management. Accountability fosters a culture of improvement. Positivity is contagious within a team. Consistent actions lead to predictable outcomes.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREDo you want to improve client communication for your firm? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Devon Slovensky, founder of a Southwestern Virginia Family Law Firm, shares how her team maintains high standards of client communication amid rapid growth. Speaking at a MaxLawCon 2025, Devon introduces the “client happiness call” initiative—which has improved client communication for her firm.A firm's client communication can really make or break its success. Devon shares how her firm's client happiness calls have been used to determine gaps in communication. Doing this ensures that attorneys are held accountable to what they say they will do. Having these calls also ensures clients are prioritized and attorneys are doing their jobs. Creating a system for this can include having a client happiness coordinator and some sort of CRM to manage these calls and input and retain information.Devon speaks to unhappy clients and how to unearth this and understand this as a lawyer. Most of her clients are satisfied, but it can be tough to admit when you as a lawyer can't deliver something 100% because of whatever issue that presents itself. Understanding this can create confidence in a lawyer in having better communication with clients on realistic expectations. Avoiding unhappy clients includes keeping them up to date on their case, explaining things that they don't understand and being honest about next steps.Listen in to learn more!3:10 Client Communication Gaps and Accountability4:08 Building the Client Happiness Call System7:58 Metrics and Board Visualization10:01 Attorney Confidence and Common Issues12:06 Unearthing Quietly Frustrated ClientsConnect with Devon:Website Tune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.

Watch the interview on Youtube here: https://youtu.be/eyS-eokvP-UEveryone laughed when Jesse and Emily Cole said they were going to save baseball by turning it into a circus. The traditionalists said it was a mockery. The investors said it wouldn't scale. Babe Ruth woulda blushed.But today, while the Red Sox and Yankees yawn in the dugout, the Savannah Bananas are selling out those very same stadiums… while on stilts.In this episode, we sit down with the husband-and-wife co-founders to uncover how they turned a struggling startup - with so much debt they had to sell their house - into a viral phenomenon with a waitlist of over 1 million people.We dive deep into their "Fans First" business model, why they refuse to take VCmoney, and how "burning the boring" let them create a new sport and disrupt a 100-year-old industry.They even got engaged in the middle of a (rainy) baseball game.WHAT YOU'LL LEARN:The "Anti-Business" Model: Why they refuse to take investors, sell advertising, charge for hot dogs, or collect sales taxes.Burn The Boring: How they audited every second of a baseball game to eliminate friction (goodbye, bunts and walks).The "Do The Opposite" Strategy: How a philosophy inspired by P.T.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Jessica Weiss, renowned happiness expert, executive coach, TEDx speaker, and author of Happiness Works. With over 15 years of experience coaching leaders at organizations such as American Express, Johnson & Johnson, and Coca-Cola, Jessica brings neuroscience, positive psychology, and real-world performance insights into the creator economy. Together, they break down why creators feel burned out, overwhelmed, and inconsistent even when things appear to be working. Jessica explains the brain science behind negativity bias, perfectionism, imposter syndrome, and the fear of being seen, revealing why our brains are wired for survival, not happiness, and how that wiring quietly sabotages creativity and confidence. They also explore the emotional cost of constant output, why creators slip into autopilot mode, and how ignoring replenishment shows up in performance, engagement, and data. Jessica shares practical tools for managing pressure, building sustainable creative rhythms, and separating self-worth from metrics so creators can grow without burning out. This conversation is a masterclass in sustainable creativity, mindset, and long-term success. If you are a creator, entrepreneur, or high performer who feels stuck, exhausted, or trapped in a cycle of pressure and self-doubt, this episode will change how you think about your brain, your habits, and your creative potential.

In this episode, Shannon sits down with Dawni Baxter — founder of a boutique marketing agency and a multi-passionate entrepreneur leading the movement in ethical, human-first marketing. Dawni brings a refreshing perspective to an industry filled with noise, inflated promises, and confusing pricing structures. Together, Shannon and Dawni dive into: ✨ How to navigate marketing relationships with confidence ✨ Why transparency and trust are the backbone of ethical marketing ✨ What to look for (and avoid) when hiring a marketing agency or contractor ✨ The power of outsourcing — even when it feels uncomfortable ✨ Why real marketing results require time, patience, and accurate data ✨ How fractional marketing directors provide expert support without bloated retainers Dawni shares why she helped develop the first global regulation for social media managers in the UK, and how her agency champions organic reach and integrity over pushy sales strategies. This conversation is a must-listen for any entrepreneur — especially solo retreat leaders — who wants to grow sustainably, avoid costly marketing mistakes, and build relationships rooted in alignment and trust. Key Takeaways Ethical marketing is about humans first, not hustle culture. Due diligence is essential — marketing professionals are great at marketing themselves. Trust your instincts: if a partner feels off, overpriced, or vague, walk away. There is no standardized pricing in marketing — and that's exactly why transparency matters. Fractional marketing directors are a powerful option for small businesses who need strategy without full-time overhead. Outsourcing is uncomfortable — but it's one of the fastest ways to grow as a founder. Real marketing results come from consistent data over 12–18 months… not overnight "miracles." Quick exits from misaligned relationships often save you more time and money than sticking it out. Listen to This Episode If You: Want to better understand Tantra from a grounded, professional lens.

In this heartfelt episode of The Spiritual Cupcake Podcast, Candace shares a little story from the beginning of a podcasting summit in L.A. — a moment that became soul-level confirmation that she was exactly where she was meant to be.A beautiful woman Candace had previously recorded an episode with — where they talked about her late husband — shared that months later, when she finally felt ready to listen, she went to his grave and listened to the episode with him.  When Candace told her, “That is so, so special,” she replied with words that landed deeply: “Candace, every single podcast you do is that special.”In that moment, Candace realized she didn't need downloads, or success metrics as affirmation. She only needed to keep creating from love, from flow, and from what felt true and authentic.This episode is a reminder that when we trust our path and create from the heart — in our own unique way — magic has a way of finding us in divine timing.

Tracking your metrics will not grow your business. Yep… you read that right. Most business owners know they should be tracking their metrics, but here's the problem: most conversations about metrics stop at the spreadsheet. Track this. Monitor that. Check your numbers weekly.

We're diving into why this belief is so common, why collecting data often leaves business owners frustrated, and what actually needs to happen for your metrics to truly matter.

In this episode, Matt Watson — founder and CEO of Full Scale and author of Product Driven — joins Lily and Randy to challenge the longstanding silos between product and engineering.

Most visibility programs fail because teams don't know what to measure—or they measure too much, too late. In this final episode of the Visibility Engineering series, Gini Dietrich breaks down three simple metrics that tell you whether your work is driving real pre-pipeline demand. No dashboards. No spreadsheets. Just signal.

In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, I'm joined by Kristof Gleich, President and Chief Investment Officer at Harbor Capital Advisors, for a deep dive into the human capital factor and its impact on business value and investment performance. Kristof explains how Harbor's partnership with Irrational Capital led to the development of the HAPI ETFs and walks through the seven subfactors that make up the human capital score: organizational effectiveness, innovation, direct management, alignment, engagement, emotional connection, and extrinsic rewards. We get into the data behind the factor, including the use of large-scale employee sentiment surveys and proprietary analytics, the index construction process that identifies the top 150 companies, and the annual reconstitution methodology. Kristof also shares performance insights – from Morningstar recognition to how HAPI has compared with the S&P 500. We also talk about why this factor has the potential to generate real alpha and how investors, private equity firms, and valuation professionals are beginning to incorporate human capital metrics into underwriting and deal analysis.

Scott Alldridge, CEO of IP Services and author of the Visible Ops series, emphasizes the necessity of viewing cybersecurity as a growth driver rather than a cost center. He argues that the increasing sophistication of cyber threats, which now target small businesses, necessitates a shift in perspective. Aldridge highlights that organizations must recognize cybersecurity as essential for survival, framing it as revenue protection and enablement. He cites the example of MGM, which suffered a significant ransomware attack that resulted in over $140 million in losses, underscoring the urgency for businesses to prioritize cybersecurity.Aldridge discusses the importance of measurable indicators to demonstrate improvements in security posture. He advocates for regular vulnerability scanning and penetration testing, moving beyond the outdated practice of annual assessments. He notes that organizations should conduct these tests quarterly or even monthly to adapt to the evolving threat landscape. Metrics such as Mean Time to Detect (MTTD) and Mean Time to Respond (MTTR) are critical for assessing the effectiveness of cybersecurity measures and ensuring timely responses to potential threats.The conversation also touches on the human factor in cybersecurity, emphasizing the need for robust training and awareness programs to mitigate risks associated with employee actions. Aldridge stresses that leadership commitment is crucial for fostering a culture of security within organizations. He advocates for a philosophical approach to cybersecurity, including the adoption of frameworks like Zero Trust, which emphasizes strict access controls and continuous monitoring.For Managed Service Providers (MSPs) and IT leaders, the episode underscores the importance of integrating cybersecurity into business strategy. By framing cybersecurity as a critical component of business continuity and reputation management, MSPs can better communicate its value to clients. The discussion also highlights the need for ongoing education and adaptation to new threats, ensuring that organizations remain resilient in the face of cyber challenges. Viewers can get free e-copy of the book, “Virtual Ops Cybersecurity” by texting SECURE25 to 541-359-1269”

If you're wondering why morale is in the toilet and retention's circling the drain, look no further than the clown show running the pipeline overhaul. Instructors? Ignored. Functional managers? Ghosted. Messaging? Nonexistent. This isn't just poor leadership—it's sabotage disguised as progress. If you're in charge and this episode hits a nerve… maybe that's the point.

PREVIEW — Elizabeth Peek — The Economic Conundrum: Strong Spending, Low Confidence. Peek analyzes the apparent economic contradiction wherein strong GDP growth and robust retail spending metrics coexist with persistently low consumer confidence and widespread economic pessimism. Peek attributes this paradoxical dynamic to acute affordability crises affecting substantial population cohorts and a deteriorating labor market characterized by declining hiring, wage stagnation relative to inflation, and employment insecurity. Peek characterizes this bifurcated economic experience as a "K-shaped economy," wherein stock market gains and asset appreciation benefit relatively privileged populations, while widespread financial anxiety, housing unaffordability, and discretionary spending constraints generate diffuse economic distress among middle and working-class populations. 1890 HARLEM HEIGHTS
