Send us a textFear isn't a stop sign; it's a high-beam pointed straight at your potential. When your chest tightens and your mind races, your brain is flagging something meaningful—not warning you to quit. In this short, practical session, we walk through a simple framework to decode fear, turn it into a roadmap, and take the smallest possible actions that build real confidence.We start by naming the signal with brutal clarity. Instead of treating fear like a fog, we put words to the exact risk you're bracing for—rejection, failure, judgment, loss—so the problem becomes finite and solvable. From there, we shrink the shadow with micro actions that produce evidence fast: send the email, make the call, record a 15-second clip. Action beats pep talks because confidence grows from proof, not from thinking about being brave.Finally, we reframe the sensation itself. Fear and excitement feel the same in the body; the difference is the story you choose. By labeling that rush as energy and growth, you convert paralysis into forward motion and step into the arena where your next level lives. If you've been hiding your ideas, this is your nudge to be seen, to move while afraid, and to let small wins rewire what you believe is possible.Take the weekend challenge: write down one fear that's been holding you back, then take the smallest step toward it. Want help turning that fear into a plan you can execute?

In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I walk you through why pre-scheduling your year—especially the time off—is the single most powerful thing you can do to take back control of your life and your practice. If you've ever felt stuck, overworked, or like you're building your life around your office hours instead of the other way around, this episode is for you.I've been doing this a long time, and I can promise you: no one ever regrets the time they took off. But so many docs regret the time they didn't. Whether you want to work 3 days a week, take 10 weeks off a year, or scale your practice while feeling less burned out—yes, it's possible. But it starts by scheduling your life like it matters... because it does.Quotes"You will never regret the days you took off.” — Dr. Glenn Krieger“You'll walk away with a 90-day plan, personalized by AI, based on everything you discussed—so you're not just inspired... you're activated.” — Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysCold Open: Just plan the vacation (00:00)Why I'm obsessed with full-year scheduling (00:21)"I can't take time off" is a lie—here's how to fix it (01:12)How to reverse-engineer your ideal 2026 (01:40)Solvency accounts & setting practice boundaries (02:20)Sneak peek: the G.O.L.D.

Welcome back to another edition of FORE Minute Fridays here on the Imagen Golf Podcast! I'm your host, Daniel Guest, and I hope you all had a fantastic holiday season with your friends and family.But listen, we need to have a serious talk.Now that the wrapping paper has been thrown away and the turkey leftovers are gone, you are likely staring at a pile of golf gifts. Maybe it's a box of balls that feel like rocks, a gadget that promises to add 50 yards to your drive, or... heaven forbid... the "Potty Putter."Here is my advice for this Friday: Be grateful, say thank you, and then return it.I want you to take that store credit, pool your gift cards, and invest in the things that actually lower your score. Today, we are talking about the Big 5—the only things you should be spending that holiday cash on.1. The Putter: The Money MakerLet's start with the most important club in the bag. If you are using a hand-me-down or something you bought off a rack ten years ago, use your return money here.You use this club on (almost) every single hole. A putter is deeply personal. It's about the look, the weight, and the balance. Your Aunt Karen doesn't know if you have an arc in your stroke or if you're straight-back-straight-through. Go get fitted, or at least go roll some putts and buy the one that gives you confidence.2. The Driver: Technology WinsIf you got a novelty headcover or a generic training aid, swap it for speed. Driver technology has moved massive amounts of weight in the last three years to make clubs more forgiving.If you are playing a driver that is more than 5 years old, you are leaving yards and accuracy on the table. You don't even need the brand-new 2025 model; even a model from two years ago is better than that novelty gift set.3. Irons: The Engine RoomThis is the big ticket item. If you got a lot of "stuff" you don't need, liquidate it all for a down payment on new irons.Why? Because consistency is king. Modern irons—especially the hollow-body distance irons—are designed to help you launch the ball higher and land it softer. If you're playing blades you aren't good enough for, or cavity backs from the 90s, this is the year to upgrade.4. Decent Golf Shoes: The FoundationThis one is overlooked constantly. People will spend $500 on a driver but walk 5 miles in $40 shoes that hurt their feet.Golf is a sport played from the ground up. If your feet slip, your swing slips. If your feet hurt on the 14th hole, you lose focus. Return the sweater that doesn't fit and buy a pair of premium, waterproof, stable golf shoes. Your back and your scorecard will thank you.5. The Rangefinder or GPSFinally, stop guessing. If you are still stepping off yardage from a sprinkler head, you are playing a harder game than everyone else.Knowing the pin is 148 yards, not "about 150," is the difference between a birdie putt and a bunker shot. Whether it's a laser or a GPS watch, distance control is the fastest way to drop your handicap.The TakeawayDon't feel guilty. The person who gave you the gift wants you to enjoy your hobby. The best way to enjoy golf is to play better golf.So, pack up the gag gifts, gather the receipts, and go get the gear that actually matters.That's it for this week's FORE Minute Friday. Get to the pro shop, make those exchanges, and get your game ready for the new year.

As we wrap up the holiday season and look toward the new year, Emily's reflecting on the beauty of long-standing traditions. Now's as good of a time as any to take inventory of your life and consider what new traditions you want to establish moving forward. She also answers a listener question about the fears of solo travel, sharing her top safety tips for women exploring the world on their own.

Send us a textWhen life blurs into one long multitask, presence can feel like a luxury. We offer a human, doable way back: a five-senses gratitude practice that anchors attention in what you can actually feel and notice right now. No jargon, no fluff—just practical steps and real examples that help your mind settle and your body exhale.We start with the problem so many of us face: work, family, and friends all competing for the same mental space. Then we map a straightforward framework—vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch—that you can run anywhere. Think sunsets that widen your breath, a child's voice that lifts your mood, the kitchen smells that take you home, a bite that slows you down, and the grounding of a hand held or a pet's calm weight. Each sense becomes a doorway to presence, and the more specific you get, the faster you arrive.You'll hear simple prompts to create your own five, plus ways to use them during transitions: before a meeting, walking into your house, or winding down at night. We share why sensory detail works on the nervous system, how it interrupts rumination, and how a 60‑second practice can make your day feel more spacious. If you're craving less noise and more clarity, this approach meets you where you are and gives you control over your focus without adding another heavy routine.Try it today: list one thing you're grateful for in each sense and watch your attention click into place.

Send us a textWaiting for January won't change your life. Choosing a single day will. We break down a simple 24-hour reset that trades resolutions for action and shows you how to create momentum with five clear moves you can make before tomorrow.We start by reclaiming your morning. No phone for the first twenty minutes gives your mind space to breathe, think, and set intent without the flood of alerts. Then we shift your state with movement—just twenty minutes of walking, lifting, running, or any practice you enjoy. You'll hear why early light, breath, and body awareness sharpen focus, improve mood, and make disciplined choices feel easier.From there, we take aim at noise. Learn how batching messages at set times protects deep work and stops constant context switching from draining your day. We talk through practical ways to mute nonessential channels, say no to low-value invites, and trim recurring commitments that eat attention. Clearing both physical and digital clutter reduces friction and frees you to do the work that matters.To lock in momentum, we close with a habit most people skip: tracking wins. Recording three specific wins each day rewires focus from gaps to gains, builds confidence, and compounds motivation. With these five steps—reconnect your mind, energize your body, simplify your inputs, eliminate clutter, and track your wins—you'll have a repeatable reset you can run any time life feels noisy or off track.If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who's stuck on “someday,” and leave a quick review so more people can find practical tools that actually move the needle. What will you tackle in your 24-hour reset today?

It is FORE Friday, folks! The weekend is on the tee, the fairways are calling, and we are here to get your mind right before you take that first swing on Saturday morning.I'm your host, Daniel Guest, and today we are talking about a tragedy I see on the driving range every single week. It's the tragedy of hard work... applied to the wrong problem.If you've ever practiced for three hours, hit 200 balls, and walked away hitting it worse than when you started... this episode is for you. Let's tee it up."The Trap: The Whac-A-Mole GameHost: "So, here is the scenario. You played last weekend, and you were slicing the ball off the planet. You go home, you open up YouTube, and you search 'How to stop a slice.'You find a great tip. The pro says, 'You're coming over the top, so you need to drop your hands inside.' You go to the range, you grind on dropping your hands inside, and suddenly... you start hooking it into the parking lot. Or worse, you start shanking it.Why? Because you were trying to fix a symptom, not the cause."Host: "In golf instruction, many call this 'Whac-A-Mole.'You see the club face is open? You try to flip your hands to close it.You see a 'chicken wing' left arm? You try to glue your elbow to your ribs.But here is the hard truth: 90% of what you feel and see in your swing is a reaction, not an action."Key Takeaway: Your body is smart. It is constantly compensating. If you try to fix the compensation (the symptom) without fixing the root cause, your body will just invent a new compensation that is usually worse.The Concept: The Big DominoHost: "So, how do we stop wasting time? We have to find the Big Domino.I want you to imagine a row of dominos.Domino 1 is your Grip.Domino 2 is your Setup.Domino 3 is your Takeaway.Domino 10 is that ugly Chicken Wing at impact.If you spend all your time trying to fix Domino 10 (the chicken wing), you are fighting a losing battle, because Dominos 1 through 9 have already fallen over and pushed it there.You have to work on the earliest fault in the chain."Host: "Let me give you a real-world example. I had a student recently who was desperate to fix his 'over-the-top' move. He had been trying to swing out to the right for months.I looked at his swing. His grip was incredibly weak (turned too far left). Because his grip was weak, the clubface was open. Because the face was open, his brain knew that if he swung from the inside, he'd hit it 50 yards right. So, his brain forced him to come over the top just to pull the ball back into the fairway.The 'over-the-top' move wasn't the fault. It was the only thing saving him!We fixed the grip (The Big Domino). Suddenly, the face was square. His brain said, 'Okay, I don't need to pull this anymore,' and his swing path straightened out naturally. We fixed the grip, and the swing path fixed itself."The Action Plan for the WeekendHost: "So, for this FORE Friday, here is my challenge to you. I want you to stop guessing.If you are heading to the range this weekend, do not just start trying random tips you saw on Instagram. 1. Record your swing. You cannot fix what you cannot see. 2. Look at the setup first. Grip, Alignment, Stance, Posture. This is usually where the 'Big Domino' lives. 3. Verify, don't guess. If you think your problem is your downswing, prove it. But I'd bet you a sleeve of Pro V1s that the problem actually started in your takeaway."Host: "And if you can't find the fault? Ask for help. That is what we are here for at Imagen Golf. Stop being the hero who tries to perform surgery on themselves. Let a doctor look at the MRI."Host: "Golf is hard enough without working on the wrong things. Be efficient with your practice. Find the root cause, knock down that first domino, and watch the rest of your swing fall into place.Have a fantastic weekend, hit 'em straight, and as always... here's to playing the game you've always imagined.See you next week!"

Think the off-season is just for resting? Not if you want to lower your handicap.It's December, it's cold, and the clubs are likely in the garage—but that doesn't mean your game has to hibernate. In this edition of F-O-R-E Minute Friday, Daniel Guest breaks down the single most important metric in putting: Start Line Control.Most amateurs think they are missing putts because of a bad read. The data says otherwise. You are missing because you aren't starting the ball on your intended line.In this quick episode, you will learn:Why "Green Reading" is rarely the actual problem.The "Coin Gate" drill you can do on your carpet right now.How to build a repeatable impact position without a simulator.The simple homework assignment to own the greens in 2026.Stop guessing and start measuring.

Send us a textYour momentum isn't dying because you're lazy; it's leaking away through low standards that drain energy and crush self-belief. We unpack how messy environments, weak boundaries, and daily self-negotiations quietly tax your attention, slow your decisions, and keep your goals out of reach. Then we introduce STAND, a simple, powerful framework to upgrade your energy and rebuild trust in your word.We start by naming the most common leaks: clutter that steals focus, yeses that crowd your calendar, and inner bargains that talk you out of the hard, important actions. From there, we walk through STAND step by step. See leaks by tracking when your energy dips and why. Take responsibility so you stop outsourcing outcomes to luck or others. Act fast to compress timelines and beat hesitation. Negotiate never so your promises don't get traded for comfort. Defend daily by locking in rituals that protect what matters.Throughout the conversation, you'll hear practical examples you can apply today: how to reset a workspace in minutes, how to give a clean no without guilt, and how to reduce decision fatigue with simple rules. You'll also get a weekend challenge designed to raise one standard in a small, specific way that produces outsized returns. The goal isn't to hustle harder; it's to plug the holes that waste your willpower and to let consistent action rebuild belief.If you're ready to stop leaking energy and start keeping promises to yourself, press play and try the STAND method with us.

If you've ever felt that little itch in the back of your brain—the one that whispers, "I love being an orthodontist... but I can't imagine doing this full-time for another 30 years"—you're not alone. In fact, you're part of a generational shift. In this episode of 5 Minute Friday, I unpack why Orthodontic Support Organizations (OSOs) and DSOs are growing rapidly—and why that's not a bad thing.This isn't about promoting any particular group. It's about being honest with ourselves and understanding that how we want to work is changing. I've spoken to hundreds of orthodontists who feel exactly the way you do: deeply passionate about the profession but uninterested in grinding until age 80. Let's explore the real reason OSO/DSO interest is surging—and how generational mindset, lifestyle goals, and future planning are all connected.QUOTES"The first thought you had when I said 50 years as an orthodontist was probably dread. And that's okay. That instinct? It's normal." — Dr. Glenn Krieger"If you're between 37 and 42, you're not thinking of retiring next year—but you are thinking about what comes next.

Send us a textPerfection is the prettiest excuse to stay still, and it's costing you the future you want. We share a simple, repeatable method for starting now—no hype, no waiting for the stars to align. The three-brick approach helps you take a tiny first step, observe it without judgment, and protect your momentum until change sticks.We begin with the real reason people stall: they're hunting for the perfect time. It never shows. Instead, we break the start into the smallest credible action—like putting on your running shoes or standing in the gym for ten minutes—so friction falls and action begins. From there, we shift into gentle measurement. Track what you did, not what you didn't. When you see proof, your brain buys into the story that you can keep going.Then comes rhythm. We explore how to keep a streak alive with minimum viable versions, identity cues, and environment design so you don't rely on motivation. The deeper insight ties it all together: build your wall before you need it. Start coaching before the crisis, launch the podcast before the pressure, train before the deadline. When life gets loud, you'll lean on a structure already standing.Expect clear examples, quick prompts, and the nudge you need to move today. If you're tired of waiting for perfect, this is your sign to lay one brick and let momentum do the heavy lifting.

Welcome back to another edition of the Imagen Golf Podcast! I am your host, Daniel Guest, and as always, we are here with one simple mission: to help you play the best golf of your life, simplify this crazy game, and get you having more fun on the fairway.If you're driving to the course right now, or maybe you're stuck in traffic dreaming of the weekend round, turn up the volume. Today we are going to talk about a visual cue that is so simple, yet so misunderstood. It's a "silent killer" of power for so many amateurs, but when you get it right... oh man, it changes everything.I'm talking about your knees. Specifically, seeing the light between them.So, let's dive right in. I was reviewing some swing analysis videos earlier this week with our students, and I noticed a pattern. It's the classic "power leak."We all know we need to rotate, right? We hear it all the time. "Turn your hips," "Load into the right side," "Coil." But what does that actually look like?Here is the problem: Most golfers, when they try to turn, they actually slide. Or, they do the opposite—they collapse.Imagine looking at a golfer from face-on (looking right at their belt buckle). When they take the club back, if that lead knee (the left knee for righties) collapses and touches the right knee, what happens? You've lost your base. You've got no tension. You've got no torque. You're just... soft.Onthe flip side, if you keep those knees frozen like two pillars of cement, you can't turn at all!The Golden Visual: The "Window of Light"Here is the visual I want you to "Imagen" today.When you make a proper backswing—a true rotation around your spine—your lead knee moves inward and points toward the golf ball, while your trail leg straightens just a tiny bit (but stays flexed).If you do this correctly, looking from face-on, there should be a distinct gap of light between your knees.Why does this matter? Why is that "light" so powerful?1. It Proves You Are Rotating, Not SwayingIf you sway to the right (sliding your hips), your knees often stay the same distance apart, but the whole structure shifts. You haven't created power; you've just moved your zip code.But when you rotate, that lead knee works away from the target. It creates a dynamic angle. That "light" between the knees tells me that your hips have turned deep, but your feet are still grounded.2. It Prevents the "Knee Kiss"I see this a lot with senior golfers or people trying to get a "long" swing. They let that left knee collapse all the way until it touches the right knee. If your knees are kissing, you are in big trouble. You have zero resistance. You can't fire from there. You have to re-plant the heel, shift the weight, and then turn. It takes too much time.Keeping that daylight between the knees means you have maintained width in your lower body.3. It Creates "Torque"Think of a rubber band. To shoot it far, you have to pull one end back while holding the other end stable. That space between your knees? That's the tension in the rubber band.If the space disappears (knees touch), the rubber band goes slack. If the space doesn't change (no turn), you never stretched the rubber band.The "Flashlight" DrillSo, how do we feel this? I want you to try this next time you are on the range or even in your living room.Step 1: Take your setup.Step 2: Imagine there is a flashlight strapped to the inside of your right knee, shining at your left knee.Step 3: As you swing to the top, don't let your left knee block that light. And don't let your left knee run away from the light.Step 4: Feel the left knee move towards the ball, while the right hip goes back.You should feel a stretch in your right glute (your butt cheek). If you look in a mirror, you should see daylight—a nice, athletic gap between the legs.Key Takeaway: The lead knee moves, but it respects the space of the trail knee. They are neighbors, but they don't live in the same house!When you maintain that gap, you are loaded. You are ready to transition. From there, all you have to do is plant that left heel and let the hips unwind. But if you've collapsed that gap, you're stuck.Final ThoughtsGolf is a visual game. At Imagen Golf, we believe that if you can see it, you can do it. Stop worrying about degrees of rotation or complex biomechanics for a second. Just look for the light.Next time you film your swing, pause it at the top.Do you see daylight between the knees?Does it look athletic?Or does it look like your legs are tangled up?Keep that space. Keep that tension. That is where your power lives.All right, that's it for today's quick tip! I hope this sheds some "light" on your backswing—pun absolutely intended.Get out there, keep it simple, and as always... get the clutter out of your head so you can play the game you were meant to play.For more tips, head over to imagengolf.com, check out our lessons, and let's get you dialed in.Until next time, keep imagining better golf!Here is the "Window of Power" Practice Plan, designed to help you lock in that proper rotation and maintain the gap between your knees.⛳ The "Window of Power" Practice PlanFocus: Creating Lower Body Stability & Torque Goal: Eliminate the "Knee Kiss" and create space for a powerful transition.Daniel Guest: "Welcome to the practice tee! We aren't just hitting balls today; we are building a structure. Remember, we want that daylight between the knees at the top of the swing. That gap is your battery—it's where the energy is stored. Here are three drills to help you feel it."Drill 1: The "Bucket Barrier" (Tactile Feedback)Best for: Golfers who habitually collapse the lead leg.This is the ultimate 'anti-collapse' drill. We are going to put a physical obstacle in the way so your lead knee literally has nowhere to go but the correct direction.The Setup:Take your normal stance with a mid-iron (7 or 8 iron).Place a standard range bucket (standing upright) directly between your legs, positioned right between your knees.Squeeze the bucket slightly with your knees at address to feel engagement.The Action:Take a slow backswing.The Goal: Rotate your hips and shoulders to the top without your lead knee knocking the bucket over.Your lead knee should move forward (towards the toes) and slightly inward, but the bucket prevents it from collapsing all the way to the trail knee.Why It Works: If you knock the bucket over, you know you've lost the "light" and the tension. Keeping the bucket standing forces you to turn your hips around your spine rather than sliding them.Drill 2: The "Wall Slide" (Rotation vs. Sway)Best for: Golfers who sway off the ball instead of turning.Often, the knees stay too close together because the golfer is sliding sideways. This drill ensures you are rotating deep into the right hip, which naturally creates that athletic gap between the knees.The Setup:Stand with your back to a wall (no club needed).Your heels should be about 4–6 inches away from the wall.Get into your golf posture.The Action:Cross your arms over your chest.Make a backswing turn.The Goal: Feel your right butt cheek (trail glute) slide back and touch the wall.At the same time, keep your left butt cheek off the wall.Why It Works: When the right hip goes back (touching the wall), it pulls the right knee slightly straighter (but not locked). This movement naturally creates space between the knees. If you slide sideways, your hip won't touch the wall, and your knees will look weak.Drill 3: The "Freeze & Check" (Visual Confirmation)Best for: connecting the 'feel' to the 'real'.This builds the mental image we talked about in the podcast.The Setup:Set up in front of a mirror (face-on view) or set up your phone to record face-on.If you don't have a mirror, use a window reflection.The Action:Swing to the top and FREEZE. Hold it for 3 seconds.Look at your knees.Check 1: Is there daylight between them?Check 2: Is the lead knee pointing generally toward the ball (or slightly behind it), rather than at your right foot?Check 3: Do you feel pressure on the inside of your right heel?If you see the light and feel the pressure, hit the ball from that frozen position (at 50% speed).Why It Works: This programs your brain to recognize the correct position. By hitting the ball after freezing, you are teaching your body how to unleash the power stored in that "gap."

Send us a textYour screen might look tidy, but the constant swirl of tabs, alerts, and inbox pings is stealing your best work. We break down a fast, practical system to turn digital chaos into a calm, focused workspace that helps you think clearly and move faster.We start by decluttering and designing your screen on purpose. Close nonessential tabs and split your work into dedicated windows or virtual desktops so each space has one job. Then set smart defaults that prevent distraction: keep creation tools on one desktop and quarantine email, chat, and social on another you check on a schedule. Fewer visual inputs mean fewer mental exits, which means more momentum on the tasks that actually matter.From there, we lean into automation. Map the repetitive steps in your week—file handoffs, versioning, social scheduling, status updates—and let simple tools and AI-assisted platforms do the heavy lifting. The goal is to remove low-value clicks so your attention stays on decisions and craft. Finally, protect deep focus windows. Flip your phone to do not disturb, turn down system sounds, and work in a single-window view. One notification can cost twenty minutes of recovery; defending your peak energy hours pays compounding dividends.We wrap with a simple challenge: spend twenty minutes on a weekly digital reset. Close lingering tabs, clean your desktop, and refine your defaults so Monday starts with a clear runway. If this helped, follow the show, share it with a friend who drowns in tabs, and drop a review with your favorite automation tip—we're reading every one.

Welcome back to another episode of the Imagen Golf Podcast. I'm your host, Daniel Guest, and I am thrilled you are here with me today.Whether you're driving to the course, sitting in the office dreaming of the weekend, or maybe you're on the range right now—thank you for tuning in. Our goal here at Imagen Golf is simple: we want to get you playing better golf, faster, and having a whole lot more fun doing it.Today, I want to talk about something that drives me absolutely crazy when I watch amateurs play. It is a mistake that costs you strokes, it costs you distance, and frankly, it makes this difficult game even harder.And the worst part? It's completely free to fix.I'm talking about the Tee Box. Specifically, the refusal to use a tee, or using it incorrectly.I see it all the time. We get to a Par 3, or maybe a short Par 4 where you're hitting an iron off the tee. I watch a guy walk up, drop his ball on the grass, kick it with his foot to make sure it's sitting up, and then whack at it.Folks, stop it. Just stop it.The Golden Rule of the Tee BoxHere is the reality: Golf is the only sport where you start with the ball in your hand.Think about that. In baseball, the pitcher throws it at you at 95 miles an hour. In tennis, they serve it at you. In golf, you get to decide exactly where that ball sits before you start the hole.There is a famous quote by the Golden Bear himself, Jack Nicklaus. He said:"Air offers less resistance than dirt."Let that sink in. Air offers less resistance than dirt.When you are on the tee box, you have the opportunity to give yourself the perfect lie. Why would you ever choose to hit off the turf when you can tee it up? When you hit off the turf, you risk catching it fat, catching it thin, or having a blade of grass get between the clubface and the ball, killing your spin.When you tee it up—even just a quarter of an inch—you are removing the earth from the equation. You are giving yourself a clean strike.The "Ego" IssueNow, I know what some of you are thinking. "But Daniel, I hit my irons better off the turf. I don't want to tee it up with a 7-iron, that looks like a crutch."Listen to me closely: Checking your ego is the first step to lowering your handicap.Turn on the TV on Sunday. Watch the PGA Tour or the LPGA Tour. Watch the best players in the world on a Par 3. Do you know what they do? They use a tee. Every single time.If Tiger Woods uses a tee on a Par 3, you should too. If you tee it up just slightly above the grass, you increase the margin for error. You can hit slightly higher on the face and still get a great result. You ensure clean contact.The Strategy of the Tee BoxNow that we agree you must use a tee, let's talk about where you place it. This is the second biggest mistake I see.Most golfers walk up, stick their tee dead in the middle of the two markers, and fire away. But you are missing a massive strategic advantage.Here is the Imagen Golf rule of thumb: Tee up on the side of trouble.Scenario A: There is an Out of Bounds or a lake on the right. You should tee your ball up on the far right side of the tee box. Why? Because it angles your body to aim away from the trouble toward the left, safe side of the fairway.Scenario B: The trouble is on the left. Tee up on the far left. You are opening up the angle to hit into the safety of the fairway.It's a simple visual trick that changes your perspective and subconsciously makes you aim for the fat part of the green or fairway.The TakeawaySo, here is your homework for the next round.Never hit off the dirt on a tee box. I don't care if it's a wedge or a driver. Use a tee. Give yourself that perfect lie.Find the trouble. Look at the hole. Where is the danger?Use the box. Move your tee placement to create the best angle for your shot.Golf is hard enough. Don't let the ground get in your way before you've even started the hole. Remember, air offers less resistance than dirt. Give yourself the advantage.That's it for today's short game tip—well, actually, it's a long game tip too!If you want to see this in action, or if you're struggling with your game, head over to ImagenGolf.com. We've got lesson packages, more podcasts, and blogs designed to help you see the game differently.

Send us a textIf “I'll start tomorrow” keeps turning into next week, this fast, punchy guide will help you start today. We break down the five silent saboteurs that derail momentum—comfort voice, perfection trap, invisible audience, dopamine dealer, and excuse expert—and show how to beat each one with small, decisive moves that take less than five minutes.We open by naming the patterns that sound helpful but stall progress. The comfort voice tells you to rest when you need to move, so we swap vague intentions for 120-second starts and simple setups that make action easy. Perfection pretends to protect quality, but it blocks reps, so we lean on constraints, quick deadlines, and the rule of one: one draft, one take, shipped. If you fear judgment, the invisible audience is smaller than you think; use low visibility as a training ground and publish to learn, not to impress.Next, we tackle the dopamine dealer that lives in your phone. Ten minutes of scrolling stretches into an hour without a plan, so we budget attention with timers, notification silencing, and out-of-reach devices. Urges fade when you don't feed them, and active recovery beats passive grazing. Finally, we confront the excuse expert. Time isn't found, it's assigned, so we anchor priorities with one non-negotiable before noon and the smallest possible version of your habit to protect identity and momentum.By the end, you'll have a clear checklist to move now: choose a tiny first step, add a constraint, make distractions costly, and ship something imperfect. No pep talk, just proof through action. If this helped you take even one step today, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a push, and leave a quick review so more people can turn intention into progress.

In this episode of Your 5-Minute Friday, I break down a powerful mental framework that's changed how I lead, parent, and run my practice. It's simple, but transformative: the moment a problem comes your way, throw up the timeout sign and ask, Is this really my problem? That single pause can save your sanity, protect your leadership energy, and empower your team.Too often, we take on the emotional weight of problems that don't belong to us. And while I'll always be here for support, guidance, and solutions, I've learned that being a sounding board is not the same as being a sponge. I share real stories from my office, personal insights from therapy, and tips on how I've trained my team (and even my kids!) to take radical responsibility without burning out.Quotes“There are only two kinds of problems in the world: mine, and not mine.”— Dr. Glenn Krieger“When someone brings you a problem, throw up the timeout sign and ask—do I really need to carry this, or can I coach them through it?”— Dr. Glenn KriegerKey TakeawaysIntro & challenge (00:00)Why identifying “my problem vs. not my problem” changes everything (00:48)The therapist analogy and emotional burnout (01:30)How I support without absorbing others' stress (02:40)Training your team to own their problems (and when to escalate) (04:00)The parenting lesson: how I want my kids to handle challenges (06:40)The final exercise: timeout, assess, empower (07:50)Additional ResourcesHere's your challenge: The next time a problem gets thrown at you, pause and ask, “Is this mine?”And if it's not, train, support, and empower the person who owns it. You'll see your leadership, your team, and your peace of mind all level up. Ready to implement this in your practice or family life? I'm here to help.

Establishing order and clarity

Send us a textFeeling behind isn't a signal to push harder; it's a cue to change the frame. We dive into why comparing your level 3 to someone else's level 20 poisons progress and how a few simple tools can restore momentum: small daily actions that compound, identity shifts that make habits stick, and language choices that keep your mind on movement rather than deficiency.First, we tackle the compounding effect of consistency. Think of your skills like interest—tiny deposits, made daily, that add up to visible results. We share practical ways to design non-negotiables that are so small they're fail-safe, yet powerful enough to bend your trajectory in 30 to 90 days. From sales and business growth to fitness and creative work, the same math applies when you track inputs and celebrate proof.Then we explore identity as the engine behind lasting change. When you see yourself as the kind of person who shows up—athlete, builder, creator—you stop negotiating with yourself. We walk through cues that make identity real in the moment: a phrase you repeat, a habit you anchor, and a visible action that casts a vote for who you're becoming. To ground those gains, we use a 90-day lookback to surface wins you've stopped noticing and a gratitude practice that reduces pressure while sharpening focus.To make braver choices, we introduce the grandfather frame: consult your 80-year-old self before big decisions. That perspective strips away noise and highlights what you'll remember—risks taken, people helped, growth earned. We close with a simple reframe that changes the tone of your inner voice: replace “I'm not there yet” with “I'm on my way.” If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a quick review to help others find these tools. What small action will you stack today?

Send us a textDoubt's voice can sound smart, caring, even protective. It whispers you're not ready, asks what if you fail, and points to every past misstep as proof you should wait. Today we flip that script by naming the two sides of your inner voice—the protector and the leader—and showing how to train your language so your actions match the future you want, not the fear you remember.We start by mapping how self-talk becomes outcomes: thoughts spark emotions, emotions drive actions, and actions shape results. From there, we get tactical with clean, usable reframes you can try right away. Trade I hope this works for I'm built for this. Replace what if I fail with I grow with every attempt. Move I'm not ready yet into I take action and figure it out. These aren't fluffy affirmations; they're strategic prompts that cue your nervous system to lean into calculated risk and future growth.Belief needs scaffolding, so we unpack a simple three-part method to make new beliefs stick: repetition to wire the language, visualization to give your mind a target, and celebration to reward progress and lock in momentum. We pair that with a nightly alignment check—did I live as my highest self today?—so behavior becomes evidence. Act before you feel ready, gather small wins, and let those results strengthen the belief that you can handle more.By the end, you'll have a compact toolkit to shift from protector-dominated self-talk to leader-led action: precise language swaps, a repeatable belief-building loop, and a practical way to turn intention into proof.

Send us a textWhat if the fastest way to feel lighter, clearer, and more fulfilled is to do less? We dig into a simple framework—fewer items, fewer commitments, and fewer empty movements—to help you reclaim attention, energy, and time without burning everything down.We start with the physical clutter that silently taxes your mind. That overstuffed closet isn't just fabric; it's decision fatigue baked into your mornings. By keeping only what you wear, love, and use, you cut daily friction and gain visual calm that supports focus. Then we reframe commitments. Early on, saying yes opens doors, but later it can dilute your best work. We share practical filters to say no with confidence and double down on what you do best, so your calendar reflects your priorities instead of everyone else's.From there, we tackle the micro-gaps in your day. Those ten minutes between meetings often vanish into doom scrolling, leaving you more drained.
