Podcasts about metrics

Why Daily Weigh-Ins Sabotage Progress + Drop Sets, VO2 Max, and Blue Collar Training . The hosts argue that frequent scale weigh-ins often sabotage progress because most people misinterpret weight fluctuations and let the number dictate mood, sharing client stories where the scale undermined visible body-composition improvements and reinforced unhealthy behavior. They discuss better metrics like performance, strength, sleep, and energy, and note how water retention, inflammation, and creatine can skew the scale and mirror. They also touch on "therians," rising California gas prices, mileage-tax proposals, and Tesla robo-taxi income ideas, plus peptide-market news and Vita Bella's membership model. Listener Q&A covers training and nutrition for blue-collar workers, why drop sets are rarely emphasized, maintaining strength while improving endurance/VO2 max, and front squat form to reduce biceps strain.   The Spring Bundle: Symmetry ($187), Prime ($107), Advanced Training Techniques Guide ($47) all for $147 (over 50% off) mapsmarch.com    This episode is brought to you by Caldera + Lab calderalab.com/mindpump Code MINDPUMP20 for 20% off your first order their best products.   This episode is also brought to you by Dose dosedaily.co/MINDPUMP Discount code "MINDPUMP" for 25% off your first month of subscription.   LMNT is an electrolyte drink perfect for replenishing after a hard workout or just to stay hydrated daily !

Many clinicians feel tension between patient care and productivity targets. In reality, that tension often exists because clinicians were never taught how the business side of healthcare works.In this episode of PT Pintcast, Jimmy McKay talks with Katie Holterman about how clinics can bridge the gap between clinical excellence and operational performance.The discussion focuses on practical ways clinic leaders can introduce metrics without alienating clinicians — and how transparency, standardization, and communication help teams work toward the same goal.Key Insights From the Episode• Why clinicians often resist productivity metrics• The role of clinical guardrails in protecting care quality• Why every clinic needs clear performance metrics• How dashboards and scorecards improve clinician buy-in• The leadership mistake that causes teams to reject metrics• Why some clinical standardization actually improves autonomy• How value-based care is changing rehab expectationsPractical Takeaways for Clinic Owners• Explain metrics using clinical language, not just business terms• Show clinicians how documentation protects their license and revenue• Use scorecards to make performance expectations visible• Limit KPIs to the few metrics that truly matter• Connect metrics directly to patient outcomes and clinic sustainabilityWhen clinicians understand why the numbers matter, the conflict between business and care becomes alignment instead of tension.SponsorsSaRA HealthThe remote care platform helping clinics boost revenue through automated patient check-ins and RTM support.EMPOWER EMRAn EMR designed for rehab clinics with faster documentation and cleaner workflows.U.S. Physical TherapyA national network supporting clinic owners and clinicians with growth opportunities and leadership development.Subscribe & FollowApple Podcastshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pt-pintcast-physical-therapy/id1000443325Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/show/3LmMUT64yrUc2iGo9EmafcYouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@PTPintcastLinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmy-mckay-pt-dpt-a4207659/Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ptpintcastX / Twitterhttps://x.com/PTPintcastWebsitehttps://www.ptpintcast.com/

This week, Cathy McKnight, Chief Problem Solver at Seventh Bear, is back to share her latest Bear Essentials research. This week, she and our host Ian Truscott dig into her post, "Your KPIs Are Measuring Activity, Not Impact." Highlights from their chat: The “Data Barf Binder”-  where marketing teams measure activity, not impact. Investing in employee communications leads to better outcomes. Awareness metrics can only be useful if connected to outcomes. Quality and context are more important than quantity in content. OKRs help align marketing efforts with business objectives. They also discuss Cathy's podcast, Uncharted Journey, which is currently on hiatus, which shares stories of successful women in marketing.  Ian then joins Robert Rose in the virtual bar, The Rose & Rockstar, for a classic cocktail and a chat, and Robert shares his view on a recent article in AdWeek by Mark Ritson about Anthropic's report on AI's impact on the labor market.  If you have any comments or thoughts on this topic, we would love to hear them!

Junaid Shaikh: How Scrum Masters Can Measure Their Own Impact, Practical Self-Assessment Metrics Junaid's favorite retrospective format? The vanilla: what went well, what could have gone better, what to do better next. He's tried many formats — the Three L's (liked, learned, lacked), the Three Little Pigs, the sailboat — but the core principle is always the same. His practical advice: stick with a consistent format so the team gets better at the process itself rather than constantly adjusting to new concepts. One addition he insists on for any format: an appreciation component. In the rush to analyze processes and outcomes, teams often skip acknowledging how another team member, PO, or Scrum Master helped during the sprint. That appreciation builds trust, respect, and openness that feeds into subsequent sprints. On defining success as a Scrum Master, Junaid starts with a Peter Drucker quote: "You cannot improve something you cannot measure." He proposes several practical self-assessment metrics: First, the Agile Team Maturity Index — a spider graph that shows where the team stands across multiple criteria, making gaps visible and actionable. Second, track retrospective action items. Create tiger teams for specific issues, run small iterative experiments, and measure in the next retrospective whether the trend is improving. Third, watch for shared sprint goals. Junaid once saw a team with nine sprint goals for a two-week sprint — those weren't goals, they were individual tasks. A real sprint goal should be something multiple team members work together to achieve. Fourth, self-organizing teams. If the team falls apart when the Scrum Master is absent for a sprint, there's a problem. Coach teams to self-organize, and their ability to function independently becomes a success metric. Fifth, communication patterns. Too many emails flying around can signal hidden conflicts or trust barriers. If communication happens through the right channels — dailies, direct interactions — you're likely in good shape. Sixth, Scrum event health. If events get canceled too frequently, the team may be reverting to traditional ways of working. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

​​So you've landed your first sponsor. Now you start thinking… What do they actually want to see from you? Downloads? Listener behavior? Something else entirely? Today, we're opening the mailbag to tackle a question from one of our very own cohosts, Sid, who wondered what kind of analytics sponsors really care about and how podcasters should present that information to keep the relationship strong. Do downloads matter as much as we think they do? What metrics actually tell the story of your audience? And do sponsors even care about the same numbers podcasters obsess over? We explore what sponsors may want to learn from podcast analytics, what data might be useful to share, and how creators can think about reporting in a way that supports a long-term partnership. We also briefly touch on another question… is there really a difference between a DIY podcaster and an indie podcaster, or is it mostly semantics?Episode Highlights: [02:54] Indie vs. DIY podcasting debate[06:43] What sponsors actually want in analytics reports[13:44] Trackable links, promo codes, and proving ROI[25:35] AI tools for generating editable slide decks[29:47] Apple versus host analytics mismatchLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Book A Free Call With Me: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerBuzzSprout Analytics: https://www.buzzsprout.com/blog/apple-podcasts-analyticsOP3: https://op3.dev/Podpage: https://www.podpage.com/?via=ironickmediaRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Ryan shares how he built a wildly profitable daily email newsletter in Annapolis, capturing almost half the town's population as subscribers. We discuss the exact marketing strategy he used to skyrocket his readership; hint - it involves mastering Facebook ads, and how he convinces local businesses to view sponsorships as a high-return investment rather than an expense.Ryan also gets incredibly transparent about his biggest entrepreneurial mistakes, including how ignoring cash flow and accounts receivable caused his business to run out of money twice. Plus, he reveals the hilariously unexpected, "clean" new side hustle he just launched involving portable toilets.Questions This Episode Answers:How can you use Facebook ads as a "cheat code" to rapidly scale a local audience?Why is tracking your Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) and Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) crucial for profitable growth?How do you avoid the deadly cash flow and accounts receivable trap that bankrupts growing businesses?What is the secret to selling advertising to local businesses based on Return on Ad Spend (ROAS)?Why are traditional media companies failing while hyper-local newsletters thrive?Enjoy the conversation!__________________________Love it or hate it, I'd love your feedback.Please fill out this brief survey with your opinion or email me at nik@cofounders.com with your thoughts.__________________________MY NEWSLETTER: https://nikolas-newsletter-241a64.beehiiv.com/subscribeSpotify: https://tinyurl.com/5avyu98yApple: https://tinyurl.com/bdxbr284YouTube: https://tinyurl.com/nikonomicsYT__________________________This week we covered:01:39 Meet Ryan Sneeden: The Newsletter Entrepreneur03:06 Building a Successful Local Newsletter07:10 The Economics of Newsletter Advertising12:16 Metrics and Growth Strategies28:43 The Role of the Editor02:24 Sponsor Message and Giveaway29:44 Sourcing Stories and Replicating the Model31:09 Challenges in Traditional Media35:21 Scaling the Newsletter Business43:59 Choosing the Right Cities for Expansion50:00 Rapid Fire Questions55:26 Conclusion and Final Thoughts

Episode 2932: Keith Wilson offers a practical tool called the "rupture ratio" to help you clarify whether you truly want to repair or release a relationship after being hurt. By rating your desire to stay or leave on a scale from zero to ten, he reveals how your daily reactions and choices quietly move you toward reconciliation or separation. His framework brings surprising clarity to emotional chaos and helps you identify exactly what promotes healing, and what pulls you further apart. Read along with the original article(s) here: https://medium.com/hello-love/using-the-rupture-ratio-to-decide-what-you-want-6ac33c46238c Quotes to ponder: "Getting hurt sucks. You'll want to move on. Before you can, you'll need to know where to go. What is it that you want, exactly?" "Pick a number from zero to ten that expresses your interest in staying in the relationship, versus the desire to leave." "What matters more than where you are on the scale is what way you are heading and the direction you are moving."

Marketing feels chaotic because most businesses are chasing tactics without a system to support them. In this episode, John Jantsch and Sara Nay explain why a marketing operating system brings clarity, accountability, and predictable growth. They walk through how strategy comes first, how campaigns turn strategy into action, and why systems create long-term business value. If marketing feels scattered or hard to measure, this conversation shows how to turn chaos into a repeatable system that actually works. *This is a rerun of a previous DTM episode.

As wearable technology continues to trend in the fitness industry and data overload pushes members to disengage, fitness operators are confronting a harder question: Is more measurement actually driving more motivation — or is it driving people away? Jay Worthy, the CEO of Myzone, joined Club Solutions Magazine editor and podcast host Taylor Gabhart to discuss the company's pivot from fit-tech to what they call "motech" — motivation technology — and how behavioral science, gamification and community are becoming the new levers for long-term retention. Worthy draws on his background as a former operator and personal trainer to make the case that the industry is solving the wrong problem Worthy explains how simplifying performance into a single, effort-based metric creates an inclusive, level playing field for every type of mover and why that approach is more relevant than ever as smartwatch adoption accelerates globally. He also talks about the launch of Myzone Go, which removes hardware barriers by allowing members to use any compatible smartwatch to utilize Myzone features. Listen to the full conversation here.

Timestamps:7:59 - ETHs Modernization in Supporting for Founders and Startups21:03 - Growth of Spin-offs and Startups at ETH29:52 Identifying Gaps in the Ecosystem35:43 Metrics for a Healthy EcossystemEpisode Description:In this episode we're joined by Vanessa Wood, Vice President for Knowledge Transfer and Corporate Relations at ETH Zurich, and Frank Flössel, Head of ETH Entrepreneurship. Vanessa oversees how ETH connects its research with industry, government, and society, such as partnerships, intellectual property, and spin-offs. Frank brings the perspective of a founder and operator: after studying electrical engineering at ETH, he co-founded Tempobrain before returning to help shape the next generation of entrepreneurs at ETH.In the conversation, we explore how ETH is transforming its approach to entrepreneurship, making the spin-off process faster, clearer, and more founder-friendly. They also go into why deep tech could be Europe's opportunity to compete globally again, with institutions like ETH producing the research and talent needed to build the next generation of companies. They then discuss the structural challenges still facing Europe - including the lack of late-stage liquidity and strong public markets compared to the U.S.We also dive into the founder mindset behind successful startups. Vanessa explains why great technology alone doesn't build a great company - founders also need to understand customers, markets, and how to assemble teams that can turn research into real products. Frank shares his own journey from ETH student to founder and back to the university, highlighting how successful entrepreneurs often return to support the next generation. Together, they discuss how ecosystems like ETH grow stronger over time as experienced founders reinvest their knowledge, networks, and capital into future startupsThe cover portrait was edited by⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ www.smartportrait.io⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.‍Don't forget to give us a follow on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Linkedin⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠,⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ TikTok⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠, and⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Youtube ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠so you can always stay up to date with our latest initiatives.

Most practice owners think culture problems start with people. But what if culture actually starts with numbers? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club podcast, Nathan Shields and Adam Robin have a candid conversation about what really happens when production slips, urgency fades, and leadership loses clarity around business metrics. Adam shares transparently how taking his eye off the numbers last year led to cultural drift, reduced urgency, and low-level anxiety across his clinics. But once he rebuilt his proforma, clarified expectations, and defined hard production targets, everything changed. This episode is about ownership, accountability, and the invisible connection between financial metrics and morale. They dig into:The four types of practice owners when it comes to knowing their numbersWhy “production is the basis of morale”How lack of clarity creates cultural erosionThe power of defining a weekly visit target per providerWhy metrics must be red or green — never grayHow to create urgency without being emotionalWhy every KPI needs a clear owner and battle planHow daily scorecards create behavior changeThe difference between knowing your numbers and knowing what to do about themWhy EOD deadlines force prioritization and eliminate distraction If you've ever felt low-level anxiety about your finances…If your schedules aren't as full as they should be…If you've struggled to get buy-in from your team… This conversation will give you clarity and a tactical reset. Because when you get clear on the numbers, you lead with conviction. And when you lead with conviction, your culture follows.

Nick Aria built and sold multiple agencies by leaning into strategic planning and one counterintuitive belief: the fastest way to grow profit isn't better tactics, it's paying your team above market. After leaving a $100 million industrial services company, Nick discovered that agencies thrive when founders charge premium prices to hire exceptional talent, completely removing themselves from the day-to-day operations.In this episode, Nick challenges the common trap that "sales fixes everything." He explains why a relentless focus on customer retention and Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) is the actual secret to sustainable business growth. Whether you run a business consulting firm or a creative shop, you will learn how to implement the "30/30 Rule" for pricing, why you must stop confusing metrics with KPIs, and how to drop your client churn to under 2%.In this episode, you'll learn:The 30/30 Pricing Rule: The exact mathematical formula to know when it's time to raise your prices based on your sales close rate and service delivery costs.The Golden Triangle: The three core objectives (Retention, Results, Productivity) that guarantee an agency will be highly profitable.Metrics vs. KPIs: Why most founders measure the wrong numbers, and how to build a future-facing dashboard to predict churn before it happens.The Churn Killer: How tracking individual churn rates by account manager dropped Nick's agency churn from 15% to under 2.5%.MRR Over Marketing: Why building recurring revenue allows you to survive inevitable algorithm changes that routinely crush sales-heavy agencies.Tags: Digital Marketing, Service & Consulting, Customer retention, Business growth, Business consulting, AgencyResources:Grow your business today:  https://links.upflip.com/the-business-startup-and-growth-blueprint-podcast Connect with Nick: https://ca.linkedin.com/in/nickavaria

Welcome to another episode of the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! Psychologist and psychometrician Dr. Bryan Sexton, Chief Wellness Officer at Duke Health Integrated Practice, discusses how his early quality-improvement work in Johns Hopkins ICUs revealed that high staff burnout undermined readiness for interventions like bloodstream infection reduction. He explains measuring burnout—especially emotional exhaustion—and how adding metrics like work-life integration and emotional recovery enables personalized wellbeing “profiles” and targeted interventions. Sexton describes evidence-based, one- to two-minute “bite-sized” tools (e.g., humor, awe, gratitude) designed for busy clinicians, and how Duke embedded these into continuing education with private feedback to boost engagement; a five-hour, eight-day CE program published in JAMA Network Open (Sept 2024) showed improvements, particularly for those struggling most. He outlines a 7-minute gratitude letter exercise, its research roots (Emmons, Seligman), wellbeing-informed leadership practices, and directs listeners to free tools at caws.dukehealth.org. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Assess Wellbeing Before Adding New Tasks: Healthcare workers experiencing burnout lack the capacity to take on new initiatives. Organizations should measure emotional exhaustion and wellbeing readiness before implementing quality improvement programs or system changes. About one-third of ICUs weren't ready for innovation due to burnout - addressing wellbeing first is essential. Bite-Sized Interventions Have Lasting Impact: Simple 7-10 minute wellbeing exercises (like writing a gratitude letter) can produce measurable improvements lasting 6-12 months. These micro-interventions are designed for busy healthcare workers who want something that takes minimal time, provides immediate relief, and creates long-term benefits. The effects actually continue improving over time rather than fading. Wellbeing is Contagious - Both Ways: When 60% of a team engages in wellbeing interventions, even those who haven't participated show improvement through contagion effects. However, this works both ways - negativity and burnout also spread. Getting "enough" people engaged (not everyone) can create positive cultural shifts that lift the entire team. Meet Dr. Bryan Sexton: Bryan is the Chief Wellness Officer of Duke Health Integrated Practice and Director of the Duke Center for the Advancement of Well-being Science. After 30 years as a psychologist, psychometrician and investigator, he now works with leaders to assess and improve culture and work-force well-being. Bryan has conducted and published large studies and randomized controlled trials showing how to cause enduring improvements in the well-being of our workforce. He has authored over 100 peer reviewed publications, and his research instruments and well-being interventions have been translated and used in over 30 countries. A perpetually recovering father of four, he enjoys running, using hand tools on wood, pickleball with friends, and hearing particularly good explanations of extremely complicated topics.

Send me a messageIf your safety metrics are improving, are your people actually safer? Or are you just getting better at measuring the wrong things?In this episode of the Resilient Supply Chain Podcast, I'm joined by John Dony, CEO and co-founder of the What Works Institute, and Mike Swain, Technical Enablement Manager at Evotix, to unpack a stubborn problem hiding in plain sight: why serious injuries and fatalities remain frustratingly hard to reduce, even as traditional safety metrics appear to improve. In a world of tighter regulation, more fragile operating models, and rising scrutiny across global supply chains, this is a resilience issue, a risk issue, and very much a leadership issue.We dig into why lagging indicators can create a false sense of control, and why better reporting can actually be a sign that the truth is finally surfacing. You'll hear how Mike saw incident reporting jump by 800% after better systems were introduced, and why that was good news, not bad. We also break down why the classic safety triangle often fails to predict serious harm, especially in complex supply chains shaped by contractors, seasonal labour, handoffs, and fragmented accountability.We also explore where AI, data, visibility, and governance genuinely add value, and where hype still outruns reality. You might be surprised to learn that one of the sharpest lines in the episode is John's view that if organisations want AI to work, they need a time machine to go back and get their data right first.

Many leaders assume that company culture is something that just "happens"—a byproduct of the team they hire. But as Katherine Robinette points out: culture happens whether you plan it or not. The real question is whether you are intentionally designing it to support your goals, or letting it evolve by accident. In this episode of Leadership in Quarters, host Josh Seldin sits down with leadership strategist Katherine Robinette to unpack the "Core Dimensions of Leadership." They explore how to move away from the "Flavor of the Month" management style and toward a structured, intentional approach that protects your team's energy and clarifies your organization's true North Star. In this episode, you'll learn: ✅ The 4 Core Dimensions: How to balance Mindset, Method, Metrics, and Mood. ✅ Why your "North Star" isn't a goal to achieve, but a reason to exist. ✅ Identifying "Method" problems: Why team burnout is usually a system failure, not a people failure. ✅ How to use "In-Progress Metrics" to keep your team motivated during long-term projects. ✅ The art of saying "No": How to protect your team's energy by knowing what to stop doing. ✅ The Stop-Start-Continue framework: A tactical gut-check for any organization. ✅ How to transition from an individual executor to a strategic leader without the burnout.

Thank you to the folks at Sustain for providing the hosting account for CHAOSScast! CHAOSScast – Episode 128 In this episode of CHAOSScast, host Harmony Elendu is joined by Matt Germonprez and Johan Linåker to explore how Open Source Program Offices (OSPOs) can use metrics to understand and demonstrate impact. The discussion centers around Chapter 6 of the TODO Group's OSPO book and how organizations can systematically measure the value of their open source engagement. [00:02:00] Introduction to OSPOs Johan explains what an Open Source Program Office (OSPO) is: a center of excellence that supports organizations in adopting open source strategically, aligning culture, governance, and business goals. [00:04:41] The Four Impact Areas Matt outlines the four key impact dimensions OSPOs should measure: Partner Impact Community Impact Ecosystem (Supply Chain) Impact Organizational Impact [00:06:29] Partner Impact How to assess which companies are contributing to the same projects, their level of influence, and how agendas align or conflict. [00:11:00] Community Impact Measuring contributor influence, merged pull requests, leadership roles, and employee growth within open source communities. [00:15:19] Ecosystem & Supply Chain Impact Why organizations must evaluate upstream dependencies and long-term project viability, especially in light of regulations like the Cyber Resilience Act. [00:23:00] Organizational Impact & Governance Aligning open source strategy with business goals, managing risk, automating dependency health checks, and enabling developers to contribute upstream efficiently. [00:29:31] Metrics Over Time (Not Snapshots) Why there is no universal red/yellow/green metric set. Context matters, and observing trends over time is critical for meaningful health assessments.

S6:E23 Scaling a business doesn't reduce pressure. It refines it. Queue Up Episode This week on Small Business Stories, Dr. LL sits down with Borja Cuan, co-founder of 415 Digital, to explore what truly changes when companies move from startup to scale. If people don't trust you, they won't follow you. If your expectations drift faster than your clarity, growth fractures. Borja shares what eight years of agency growth has taught him about client pushback, AI disruption, mindset discipline, and the emotional endurance required to scale.

What if the key to your success at work isn't on any performance review? Executive and leadership coach M. Nora Bouchard introduces the concept of Hidden Metrics — the internal gauges built around your values, strengths, and what truly drives you, not your boss's KPIs or your company's SMART goals. Nora breaks down her simple equation for uncovering yours, tackles whether you should ever share them with your supervisor, and explains why defining what matters most to you is actually the fastest path to delivering the results your company demands. 

Circularity is climbing the agenda in fashion, but what actually drives results? Former Puma Chief Sourcing Officer Anne-Laure Descours has spent 30 years working across Asia's supply chains, seeing firsthand which sustainability efforts stick… and which stall. In this episode, she joins Senior Director, Research & Advisory Jenna Fink to explore how manufacturers are embedding sustainability into real business performance. From the limits of textile recycling to the coalitions and production decisions shaping material innovation, Anne-Laure explains why the competitive edge sits upstream, and why suppliers often see the commercial logic more clearly than brands.When “doing it right” became a competitive edge (01:10) China's “Two Mountains” philosophy: green growth = real growth (02:43) Metrics matter… but the real work happens in factories (05:42) The unsung heroes: machinery and suppliers driving the backstage innovation (07:33) RE:FIBRE, circularity hype, and why we can't recycle 150B garments a year (08:17) The waste-to-energy pivot (because sorting doesn't scale) (11:38) Making the business case for sustainability: wins, fails, and supplier-led change (14:03) Boardroom perspectives, DNA traceability, and giving makers their due (18:06)

Most founders think scaling Facebook ads is about finding one winning ad and spending more behind it. But that's not how it works — especially not anymore. Here's the truth: the brands that scale obsess over the numbers. Not just ROAS. Not just conversion rate. And definitely not just the data inside Facebook Ads Manager. They understand the full picture — from traffic to creative to business economics. And after watching Nick Shackelford scale a brand from $20K/day to $250K/day in ad spend in just 45 days, I know exactly which metrics separate the operators from the marketers. In this episode, I break down the core metrics you need to watch like a hawk if you want to scale profitably. This is what we teach inside Foundr Operators, and it's the difference between burning cash and building a real, scalable business. Here's what you'll take away: The three buckets of metrics every operator tracks: traffic, creative & conversion, and business & profit Why CPM, CTR, and CPC are your leading indicators — and what to do when they're off How your offer impacts every metric from click-through rate to conversion rate Why MER (marketing efficiency ratio) is a better metric than ROAS for understanding true profitability The fatal mistake: scaling at 2x ROAS without knowing your margins, shipping costs, or contribution margin How doubling your landing page conversion rate can literally cut your CAC in half The operator's mindset: tracking blended ROAS, break-even points, and lifetime value — not just platform-reported metrics If you're stuck wondering why your ads aren't scaling, flying blind without an agency you trust, or hitting a ceiling at $20-30K/month, this episode will show you exactly what to fix.

The modern world swims in numbers: work metrics, fitness metrics, health metrics, social media metrics. Sometimes the quantification of life can make things better. But very often, I think they force us to play the games we can measure rather than the games we value. The quantified life has become a modern religion: a system of values that takes us over and keeps us from living the life we want. Today's guest is the philosopher C. Thi Nguyen. He is the author of the book The Score: How to Stop Playing Somebody Else's Game. We talk about metrics, the games of life, and how to listen to the parts of ourselves that cannot be reduced to numbers.
