Practical business development in BigLaw begins much earlier than most associates think. Mid-level associates are often told to focus on doing excellent work, meeting deadlines, and learning how to become strong lawyers, while client relationships and business development seem like responsibilities reserved for partners and senior associates. But even before BigLaw attorneys are expected to bring in revenue, they need to learn how to build professional relationships so that they even know how to have foundations for business. The partners with significant practices today did not suddenly develop networks when they became senior. Many of their most important relationships accumulated over years or decades and began when everyone involved was still relatively junior. I explain how mid-levelassociates can start building stronger relationship skills without trying to act like rainmakers too early. BigLaw gives lawyers access to many settings where meaningful connections can begin. The goal is not to collect contacts or turn every conversation into business, but to listen, follow up thoughtfully, and stay in touch. I also cover when to connect on LinkedIn, when to send a brief email, when to keep a partner informed, and why a relationship can be valuable on many levels. At a Glance 01:20 Why expectations change when you become a mid-level BigLaw associate 02:04 Why building a practice starts before you are expected to originate business 02:56 Why mid-level associates need to understand the business behind the legal work 05:25 The difference between building relationships and owning client relationships 06:41 Where future BigLaw opportunities often come from 07:50 How mid-level associates can create opportunities through existing relationships 09:15 Why having a client request you by name matters 10:12 How to spot potential client needs without independently pitching services 11:26 Why your professional reputation matters more at the mid-level 15:17 Why preparing for partnership starts years before you are considered For Apple Podcasts, click here, scroll to the bottom, tap to rate with five stars, and select "Write a Review."

Detailed Show Notes Episode Overview In part one of this two-part series on Dental Digest, host Dr. Melissa Seibert sits down with dual-boarded periodontist and prosthodontist Dr. Ashley Hoders to examine the latest consensus literature on peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies, biologic bone preservation, and the biomechanics of skeletal expansion . They unpack why soft tissue recession is fundamentally a bone problem, how thin tissue starved of blood supply triggers crestal loss, and why treating skeletal arch deficiencies with dental compensation compromises cortical bone . Guest Information Guest: Dr. Ashley Hoders, DDS, MS Credentials & Affiliations: Dual board-certified diplomat and fellow of the American Board of Periodontology and the American Board of Prosthodontics; MS from UT Health Science Center at San Antonio . Clinical researcher with the McGuire Institute, co-creator of Spear Hygiene, visiting faculty at the University of Washington Graduate Periodontics Department, and active member of the American Academy of Restorative Dentistry (AARD) . Key Clinical Takeaways 1. The Reality of Peri-Implant Soft Tissue Deficiencies Recent joint consensus papers (AO/AAP) reveal that non-diseased peri-implant soft tissue deficiencies have an overall prevalence of 46.2% . These deficiencies worsen over time: 33% at 1 year and 64.5% at 5 years . Clinicians should exercise caution when planning implants in the aesthetic zone and consider alternative modalities (such as resin-bonded bridges) when appropriate . 2. Mid-Facial Margins vs. Interproximal Papilla Interproximal papilla height is dictated primarily by the bone levels on adjacent natural teeth . Mid-facial mucosal margin stability is driven by facial bone thickness (which is frequently $
0:00 - Yesterday, DMac asked George Paton if the Broncos roster cuts were impacted by anything they saw in preseason game #3. Honestly, we think they had their minds pretty much made up before the game. 15:51 - Mid-segment, a burning smell filled the building. We smelled it in studio, in the control room, in the hallways, in the offices, etc. It was everywhere. So we evacuated the building while the fire department investigated.40:41 - All clear! No fire in the building! We're all safe. Tell you what though...that fire captain was badass. Dude has an epic mustache. That alone was worth the price of admission.

#745: A friend once asked Sahil Bloom how often he saw his parents. About once a year, Sahil said. How old are they? Mid-60s. His friend did the math out loud. If they live to 80, you'll see them 15 more times. Sahil was 30, living in California and making great money at a venture fund. Within 45 days of that conversation, he quit his job, sold his house and moved across the country to be near family. He's now managing partner of SRB Ventures, an early-stage fund backing more than 60 startups, and he writes The Curiosity Chronicle, a newsletter read by millions. His book, "The 5 Types of Wealth," is a New York Times bestseller. His framework starts with a scoring problem. Financial wealth gets measured every day. Time, social, mental and physical wealth run in the background, unmeasured, until something forces you to look. You'll get exercises for each. Build an energy calendar that tracks which activities charge you up and which drain you. Map your relationships by how healthy and how frequent they are. Ask what your family and your community need from you. Define what "enough" means in dollars, then write the number down. Sahil also walks through anti-goals — the things you refuse to sacrifice on the way to a goal — and Memento Mori, the Roman habit of keeping your own death in view. Two questions run underneath all of it. Think about how you spent yesterday. Would your 10-year-old self be impressed? Would your 90-year-old self? You don't experience all four seasons in a single day. Sahil argues your life runs on seasons too. Some stretches call for financial growth. Others call for family.

Order Your 2026 Fantasy Football Draft Guide NOW!https://www.tfhdraftguide.com/********************************************************Find INSANE VALUE in Your 2026 Fantasy Football DraftFinding value is one of the biggest keys to dominating your 2026 fantasy football draft.In this video, we're breaking down how to identify INSANE fantasy football draft value and take advantage when players fall below where they should be selected. Rankings and ADP are great tools, but every fantasy draft is different and knowing when a player becomes too good to pass up can completely change your roster.We'll discuss how to recognize:✅ Fantasy football ADP values✅ Players falling too far in drafts✅ Overlooked players with major upside✅ How positional runs can create discounts✅ When reaching makes sense and when waiting is smarter✅ How to compare players across different positions✅ Mid-round and late-round fantasy football values✅ How to build a deeper roster without overpayingOne of the biggest mistakes fantasy managers make is entering a draft with a rigid plan and refusing to adjust.Maybe you planned on drafting a running back but an elite wide receiver unexpectedly falls. Maybe your favorite sleeper is climbing the board. Maybe your league mates start a positional run that creates incredible value somewhere else.The best fantasy football managers recognize those opportunities and let the draft come to them.You don't have to perfectly predict every pick. You need to understand player value, current 2026 fantasy football ADP and when the price becomes too good to ignore.Finding just two or three major draft-day values can be the difference between an average fantasy team and a roster capable of winning your league.
73% of business owners who say they're ready to sell are missing at least one of the two numbers required to know if a sale will actually work. In this episode, David breaks down a new data study of 10,548 business owner assessments and lays out the Readiness 360 — the three questions every owner has to answer honestly before they sit across from a buyer. Are you personally ready to let go? Is your business actually ready to be sold? And does the math even work?What You'll LearnThe two numbers every owner needs before they can know if a sale will work — and why 73% of owners are missing at least oneWhy even owners who did the homework still get bad news: 1 in 5 discover their business is worth less than they needThe “pushed vs. pulled” problem — why burnout and stress are driving more exits than actual planningWhy 25% of owners can't name a single thing they're excited about after the sale, and what that means for a dealThe eight drivers that determine whether your business survives buyer diligence — separate from how much cash it generatesTimestamps0:00 — Cold open: You've decided to sell.

When Magic Stops Being a Theory Somewhere between 38 and 50, most of us get hit by something we never saw coming. You feel like a stranger in your own life. You're crying in the grocery store parking lot and you don't know why. Everyone tells you to expect the truck that hits you in midlife. Nobody warns you about what comes through the hole it makes. This week I'm introducing a word I made up because we need it. midstery (MID-stuh-ree), noun. Midlife, mystery. A midstery is when magic stops being just a theory. Something magical happens in your own life, it stops being a thing that happens to other people, and you start running toward it, fascinated. Each one permanently widens what you're able to notice. Enough of them add up to an awakening. And they almost never show up on a retreat in Sedona. They show up while you're loading the dishwasher. In this episode: Why busyness is the most rewarded numbing agent we have, and what it's covering up What happens somewhere between 38 and 50 that nobody prepares you for Midstery: the word for what comes after the truck Why the women in your life don't think they have intuition, and the history that taught them that What your brain does with the eleven million pieces of information your senses hand it every second Why federal agents are worse at spotting a liar than you are My theory about why true crime is a woman's genre One small thing to do this week that will make it very hard to keep calling yourself unintuitive Chapters: 00:00 Purpose and Pain 00:55 The Busy Trap 02:38 Midstery 07:41 Intuition and Evidence 14:03 Practice Your Intuition Doing the case file?

Greg Feary runs the most powerful transportation law firm in America. Scopelitis represents the nation's largest trucking companies — when a mega-fleet gets sued, there's a good chance his firm answers the phone. He's spent four decades watching carriers get dismantled in deposition rooms, and prepping them to survive it. So I asked him to do something no guest has done on this show.Depose me. Mid-episode, we run it live. I play the owner of a nine-truck fleet after a serious crash — a fictional company, built from every real carrier I've ever coached. The 1099 drivers in company trucks. The driver files that got started and never finished. The dash cams nobody watches. The dispatch text that says push through. Greg does what the other side's lawyer would do with all of it, and I sit there and take it, so you can hear exactly what that room sounds like before you're ever in it. Then we break down where I died, what would have saved me, and the truth his four words on our intake form captured better than any regulation ever has — carrier vetting is fluid. The safety bar isn't set by the FMCSA anymore. It's set by juries, after the crash, and most small carriers are being measured against a standard they've never seen. We close with the misclassification time bomb sitting under half the small fleets in this country, and what the biggest carriers in America are doing right now that you can't see from the driver's seat. You've been told your paperwork will be used against you. Today you hear it happen. Follow the Brake Check Podcast Other FreightWaves Shows Learn more about your ad choices.

Everyone says burnout. But Dr Sarah Golding thinks a lot of us are misdiagnosing ourselves.When vets come to her ready to walk away from the profession, they arrive with a vocabulary: burnt out, overwhelmed, imposter syndrome. Not one of them opens with the word Sarah reckons is often actually doing the damage:Fear.Fear of failing. Fear of the money conversation. Fear of the board, the Facebook post, the Monday morning debrief. And the big one, the one that shows up in almost every list she asks vets to write: fear of criticism, mostly from each other.Every fear you carry into a consult room was handed to you somewhere along your path - often by someone with good intentions - a teacher, a mentor, a friend. So we get into what to do about it. How to run a debrief that lets someone put a mistake down instead of carrying it for a decade. Why "don't worry about it, mate" is just as unhelpful as shouting. The difference between practising defensively and practising to help, and why clients can sense which one you are within seconds. Sarah's "debrief and dump it" process, complete with the literal bucket in her clinic that gets burnt at the Christmas party. And a small structural fix for the money conversation that has all but ended adult tantrums at her front desk.Dr Sarah Golding is a mixed practice vet in her second decade, principal practitioner and co-manager at Gowrie Vet Clinic in NSW, and this year a finalist in the NSW/ACT AgriFutures Rural Women's Award for her mentoring work through The Vet Mind Mentor.Somewhere in your career there's a case that wrote a rule about what you're good at, and what you avoid.

Today's episode is part of a new Minimal-ish Mid-week Replay Series. Now that we've hit 300 episodes, I'm digging into the archives to bring back some of my favorites which I will bring you as an additional episode each week. You'll still get new episodes, but I want to bring my favorites back to the surface, too! It's that time of year when a shift in the routine is coming for many of us. Diana Rene is my guest today, and we're focusing on systems that can simplify some of the most overwhelming parts of the season, like the influx of paper that comes into our homes or the amount of school lunches we have to pack over the next several months. We also talk about simplifying getting out the door in the morning. Stay tuned for our new episode later this week where I'll have "The Nester" as my guest talking about hushing our homes!

AdTechGod sits down with Alex Brownstein, CEO and Founder at AHB Advisors, to examine where advertising and ad tech are heading. They discuss The Trade Desk's organizational evolution, why mid-size agencies could become active acquirers, how AI may reshape the agency model, and why the industry may need to rediscover memorable brand building alongside performance and measurement. Read more from Alex Brownstein by subscribing to his Substack: https://ahbadvisors.substack.com/ Interested in sponsoring the show? Contact http://marketecturemedia.com Takeaways Ad tech companies should evolve through thoughtful expansion rather than abrupt strategic pivots. Mid-size agencies could become more active acquirers as larger holding companies navigate structural complexity. AI will reshape agency work, shifting value from routine execution toward strategy and business outcomes. Agencies may find new value as intermediaries between brands and dominant technology platforms.

Send us Fan MailA local TV stand up comedy show from 1988 doesn't sound like it should feel fresh, but the moment the crowd comes up you can hear why we loved making Laughs at Laughs Unlimited in Sacramento. I'm Scott Edwards, and I'm bringing one of those original TV tapings over to the podcast as pure audio so you can experience the pacing, the room energy, and the working-comic craft that made comedy clubs the real training ground.We start with club favorite Frank Prinzi firing off tight, offbeat jokes that twist everyday life into something surreal, from food fears to childhood memories and the weird logic of getting older. Then Phil Bauman changes the texture with comedy rap and music-driven bits, bouncing from concert jokes to pop culture riffs in a style you don't hear on many stand up comedy podcasts today.Mid-show, I pause to set up a vintage TV sketch drop-in: our fake-celebrity character Tony King, played by my partner Bob Stobner with voiceover by Carlos Alazraqui (yes, that Carlos from Reno 911 and a ton of iconic voice work). After that, headliner Tim Bedore closes the night with sharp late-1980s political and televangelist satire, a reminder that the headlines have always been absurd when you look at them the right way.If you love classic stand up, comedy club history, and rare recordings from the Laughs TV series, this one's a treat.

Impact is golf's moment of truth—but improving it does not require a perfect-looking swing. Mark Immelman is joined by longtime PGA professional Todd Brenkman for a practical conversation about solid contact, realistic expectations and learning to control where the golf club meets the ground. Drawing on lessons from Johnny Miller and Bobby Clampett, Todd explains why golfers should learn to brush the grass on the forward side of the ball, how the presence of the ball can change the bottom of the swing and why many players would improve faster by practicing without a ball. Mark and Todd also discuss ball position, uneven lies, wrist action, clubface control, functional misses and the dangers of immediately changing your swing after every poor shot. The episode includes simple drills that can help golfers of any ability develop better impact without becoming overwhelmed by technical swing thoughts. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Johnny Miller's simple key to solid iron contact - Why the club should brush the ground on the forward side of the ball How to practice impact without hitting golf balls. What it means to become “ball bound” - Why the presence of a golf ball can move your swing bottom backward. How solid-contact expectations should change based on your handicap - Why functional misses matter more than perfect shots. How to swing freely without steering the golf ball - Why grip and setup remain essential fundamentals. How chipping and punch shots can improve the full swing. Todd's tic-tac-toe bunker drill for controlling the bottom of the swing. How ball position should change with the club and the lie. Why practicing on uneven lies helps transfer your range game to the course. How one productive practice swing can improve contact and pace of play. Why wrist and forearm awareness can help square the clubface. The danger of blaming every poor strike on your swing. Why the clubhead should arrive at the right time—not necessarily be delayed. How to release the club without becoming afraid of “flipping,” and What to focus on when facing a pressure iron shot. Key Takeaways: Brush the Grass Forward of the Ball - Todd shares the foundational lesson he learned from Johnny Miller: draw a line representing the center of the golf ball and learn to brush the grass on the target side of that line. The goal is not to dig a massive divot. It is to develop awareness of where the club first contacts the ground and where the bottom of the swing occurs. Practice Without a Golf Ball - Golfers often become so focused on striking the ball that their natural movement and coordination disappear. Todd will sometimes conduct an entire first lesson without hitting a golf ball. Removing the ball reduces the urge to “hit” and allows the golfer to focus on landing the club correctly. Understand the Ball-Bound Effect - Bobby Clampett taught Todd that the presence of the golf ball can cause the bottom of a player's swing to move backward. A golfer may brush the ground several inches forward of a practice line without a ball, but move much closer to—or behind—the line when a ball is introduced. Learning to maintain the forward swing bottom with the ball present is a major component of consistent iron play. Set Realistic Expectations - Even great players do not strike every golf shot perfectly. Todd offers the following general expectations for solid strikes out of 10 shots: Bogey golfer: approximately one or two Mid-handicap golfer: approximately three or four Single-digit golfer: approximately five or six Elite amateur: approximately six or seven The remaining shots should become functional misses that stay in play and allow the golfer to continue scoring. Do Not Steer the Golf Ball - Trying too hard to manufacture perfect contact can cause the golfer to slow down, guide the club and lose athletic movement. Prepare carefully, then release the club as though you have no worries. A freely swinging club often produces better contact than a motion controlled by fear. Begin With Smaller Swings - Todd does not immediately move golfers into full swings. He begins with chips, punch shots and half swings so the golfer can learn how the club, wrists and arms should behave through impact. If a golfer cannot control impact at a slower speed with a short club, adding length and speed usually makes the problem worse. Use the Tic-Tac-Toe Bunker Drill Draw a tic-tac-toe grid in firm bunker sand and set the club over one of the intersections. Make swings without a golf ball and examine: Where the club entered the sand. Which direction the divot traveled. Whether the center of the club struck the intended intersection. Whether contact would have occurred on the toe or heel. The sand provides immediate feedback that is often more visible than turf. Calibrate Yourself to the Ground - Before playing a shot, make one small brush swing to determine where the ground is. This becomes particularly important on slopes and uneven lies, where a stock ball position may no longer match the bottom of the swing. One meaningful rehearsal is more useful—and faster—than several full-speed practice swings. Check the Simple Fix First - A poor shot does not always require a swing change. The golfer may simply have struck the toe or heel. Todd recalls moving one student only half an inch farther from the ball, immediately improving the player's strike and direction. Before rebuilding the swing, check setup, ball position and strike location. Focus Past the Golf Ball - When facing a pressure shot, Todd gathers the necessary information, uses a brush swing to calibrate the club to the ground and then focuses on sticking the finish. That finish-oriented intention encourages the golfer to send energy through and beyond the ball rather than stopping or steering at impact. Memorable Quotes: “Learning how to brush the grass, to me, is fundamental number one in golf.” “More shots in the air than not. That's the goal.” “He or she who misses it the best wins.” “Release it like you've got no worries. At least you have no regret.” “Sometimes people are too quick to change what they're working on in search of something else.” “You've got to figure out where the ground is.” This podcasts is also available as a vodcast on YouTube.

I reviewed 24 metal albums released this year — and one of them was so bad it almost ruined the whole ranking. This is my honest, no-holds-barred metal album ranking for 2026, underground to mainstream.Every year I listen to as much new metal as I can get my hands on — death metal, blackened stuff, groove, slam, the underground submissions you all send me — and I rank them from best to worst. This time, one album stood out for all the wrong reasons, and I couldn't NOT talk about it.In this episode of The Metal Maniacs, I'm breaking down all 24 albums I reviewed this year, counting down to the one release that genuinely disappointed me the most. Whether you're here for the album rankings, the reactions, or just want to see which record takes the crown for worst metal album of the year, this is a deep dive into where metal is headed — the good, the bad, and the genuinely rough.

Gene Zannetti talks with Purdue wrestler Joey Blaze about the mindset shift from freshman year, where he put unneeded pressure on himself as a higher-ranking recruit, to reframing wrestling as something he gets to do rather than has to do, staying level-headed after big wins to avoid the high that leads to the very next loss, how shifting his match evaluation from win or lose to did I do the right things keeps him from going too high or too low, what he says to reset mid-match when things go wrong, and his advice to young wrestlers that being a good person in all areas of life takes the stress off wrestling and lets you actually enjoy it.Sponsored by Young LeeTimestamps:3:08 - Freshman year overthought things as a higher-ranking recruit4:29 - Shifted to gratitude: I get to do this, not I have to do this6:09 - Learned to stay level-headed after big wins to avoid the next low7:52 - Evaluates matches on did I do the right things, not win or lose9:00 - Pre-match routine: remind yourself how awesome this is, then go through the checklist11:37 - Mid-match reset: if he can score seven points fast, so can I14:01 - Marcus as the ultra-competitor big brother — healthy rivalry that fueled both of them22:11 - Advice to young wrestlers: be a good human and wrestling takes care of itself
Is there actually such a thing as the best voice-over microphone for women? It sounds like a simple question, but once the Pro Audio Suite starts pulling it apart, things get much more interesting. This week, George, Robert, and AP look at why choosing a microphone based on whether the talent is male or female probably misses the point entirely. What matters far more is what the voice is actually doing. Is it bright or dark? Sibilant? Mid forward? Deep and chesty? Does it have a lot of mouth noise? And does the microphone complement those characteristics, or simply exaggerate them? The crew gets into why a bright voice may benefit from a smoother or darker microphone, why a big baritone does not necessarily need even more bottom end, and why certain microphones can sound fantastic on one voice and downright horrible on another. Along the way they get into the Sennheiser 416, RØDE NTG3 and NTG5, Austrian Audio OC818 and CC8, Audio Technica AT4047SV, Neumann U47, U67, U87 and TLM 149, ribbon microphones, the Gefell M930, Grace M101 and even the dark art of matching microphones with preamps. They also look at how much you can fix with a little sympathetic EQ, why ribbons can sometimes be a brilliant solution for bright or aggressive voices, and why auditioning a few microphones on your own voice, in your own space, still beats buying something because somebody on the internet called it "the best". In this episode • Why there really isn't a "male mic" or "female mic" • Matching the microphone to the characteristics of the voice • Bright and sibilant voices versus darker microphones • Why deep voices don't necessarily need more bass • The 416 versus the RØDE NTG3 and NTG5 • Why the Austrian Audio OC818 makes a compelling desert island VO mic • The AT4047SV and transformer character • Why an expensive U87 can sound awful on the wrong voice • Using ribbon microphones for difficult or aggressive vocal tones • Condenser versus dynamic microphones for voice over • How microphone transient response can expose mouth noise • Matching microphones and preamps • Why auditioning microphones is still the smartest way to choose Sponsor and Production Credits Thanks to our sponsors Tri-Booth The portable VO booth that works.

Heat waves can be dangerous for people living with dementia, and the reason is not what most care partners assume. In this episode, Teepa and Greg explain why the sense of thirst fades with age and brain change, why a wet mouth can convince the brain it has had enough, and why a person who is genuinely dehydrated may tell you with total confidence that they already drank. You will also hear why cold water is often the wrong offer and what to try instead, and how pushing fluids can turn you into the threat. If this episode has you thinking about someone you support and wondering how to keep them safe without taking over, Teepa's Living at Home with Mid- to Later-Stage Dementia video walks through finding the balance between helping and encouraging independence and offering personal care that builds trust. It is approximately ninety minutes of practical techniques you can put to use right away.

Becoming prime minister is a job like no other. The arrival of Andy Burnham is the latest in the UK's recent history of prime ministers coming to the job mid-way through a parliament. Mid-term prime ministers often take over after crisis, political upheaval or the sheer weight of the job have put paid to their predecessor. And mid-term prime ministers come to the job through very different means – a leadership contest rather than a general election, or sometimes even without that. They have less time to make a difference, a party looking for change, and a policy platform that is already well underway. In this three-part series, the Institute for Government takes you behind the scenes of the mid-term changes of prime minister from John Major to Rishi Sunak. Speaking to the senior officials and advisers who were there to explore how prime ministers, their teams and the civil service prepare, what the transition is like, how they build their teams, how they change policy, and the lessons from these premierships on what it takes to succeed as a mid-term prime minister. Mid-term prime ministers – Episode 2: The Transition Many politicians have ambitions to become prime minister but however long a would-be prime minister, their advisers and civil servants spend preparing for a transition of power, that first day walking through the famous No.10 door is the moment that reality hits and the job instantly begins. In episode two we take a closer look at what happened in the first weeks and months of the mid-term premierships from Major to Sunak. How did they go about reshuffling the ministers they inherited? How did they build their No.10 team? And how did they manage the fundamental question that affects mid-term prime ministers far more than those coming in from a general election: how much do they change their predecessor's agenda? Presented by Catherine Haddon Featuring Gus O'Donnell, Mark Sedwill, Helen MacNamara, Simon Case, Stewart Wood, Salma Shah, Lee Cain, Asa Bennett and Rupert Yorke. Learn more about your ad choices.

Download your free Painter Growth training here: https://learn.paintergrowth.com/grow-v1?utm_source=youtube&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=grow-v1If you're new here, my name is Mike Gore-Hickman. I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out. But I'm doing it alongside 1,500 contractors who are all in the middle of their own fight to build something real.If you're in that fight, you're in the right place.Never quit,MikeGet a FREE Painting Business Growth Session.

In this episode, Dr. Diane explores how identifying ourselves solely by our profession can limit our growth and potential. She discusses the concept of the 'identity trap' and offers insights on how to expand our professional identities beyond titles and roles.Key Takeaways:We often introduce ourselves by our profession without questioning if it limits us.The 'identity trap' can prevent talented professionals from pursuing new opportunities.Expanding our professional identity is a necessary step before external career changes.Our profession becomes more than a job; it becomes a lens for self-understanding.Mid-career growth often triggers internal identity conflicts.The key to career fulfillment is not just skills but how we see ourselves.Self-awareness about our identity can unlock new possibilities.The 'expansion question' helps clarify who we are beyond titles.Download the Career Identity Expansion Assessment here: https://lifebeyondclinicalpractice.thrivecart.com/cie-assessment/
Today, we're stepping into one of the most clinicallydelicate and emotionally heavy scenarios you can encounter in women's healthcare: a mid-pregnancy loss, say right around that 18 to 20-week mark. It's a situation where the clinical room feels still, the emotional weight is immense, and every decision you make as a clinician carries profound gravity. Picture the scenario: The delivery has occurred. Both the fetus and the placenta have delivered, and upon gross visual examination on the delivery tray, the placenta appears intact. The immediate crisis of delivery has passed. But as theattending provider, you're now standing at a critical management fork in the road. Do you routinely order an ultrasound before discharge to confirm the uterine cavity is truly clear? Or do you take a selective, symptom-driven approach, reserving uterine US imaging for patients who present with post-delivery warning signs like unexpected hemorrhage, severe pain, or fever? It sounds like a straightforward question, but in practice, it sparks intensedebate. Listen in, as we review professional society guidelines and the latest published data.1. Fox CE, et al.
