Stop Outsourcing Culture to HR From Toxic to Terrific: Small moments create big shifts Episode 256 (Mike is based in Canmore, Alberta) ---- In this conversation we explore: The difference between workplace culture and humor—and how humor supports culture. Why culture is a company's number one competitive advantage. The visible and invisible signs of strong or weak workplace culture. The impact of leadership on shaping and sustaining culture. Why every employee contributes to culture—not just HR or leadership. How intentional values and small behaviors shape long-term culture. The difference between healthy and toxic conflict at work. Simple, practical ways to assess and improve workplace culture. How humor, rituals, and fun foster psychological safety and team connection. The concept of an "umbrella value" and its influence on decision-making. ----- About our guest, Michael Kerr: Mike is the author of 9 books, including, The Jerk-Free Workplace, The Humor Advantage and Small Moments, Big Outcomes: How Leaders Create Cultures That Fuel Extraordinary Results. Learn more about Mike Kerr, his services and books at https://mikekerr.com/ ----- Key Learning Points from the Interview Culture is a Competitive Advantage Culture impacts productivity, retention, customer loyalty, and overall performance more than strategy alone. Mojo Matters Mojo is the vibe or energy of a workplace—it can be felt and should be maintained intentionally. Humor Fuels Culture Humor isn't fluff; it builds psychological safety, encourages engagement, and reduces burnout. Leadership Sets the Tone Leaders act as culture conductors. Their words, mood, and mindset ripple through teams. Everyone Owns Culture Culture isn't HR's job alone. Every employee contributes to culture in every interaction. Small Moments Have Big Outcomes A culture is shaped more by consistent small gestures than by grand slogans or posters. Define and Live Your Values Real values are reflected in daily decisions, not corporate posters. Misaligned values create cynicism. Conflict is Inevitable—Make It Constructive Healthy cultures allow disagreement without blame or fear. Psychological safety matters. Assess Culture With Gut Checks and Simple Questions Ask: Would you recommend this workplace to a friend? What's one thing you'd change? Culture Attracts Talent Great cultures draw top talent. But to win them, you must showcase culture honestly and creatively. ----- ----more---- Your Intended Message is the podcast about how you can boost your career and business success by honing your communication skills.

What is the significance of understanding the distinction between operating and strategic finance in hiring a CFO? Oana Labes, a seasoned CPA and MBA originally from Romania, has made significant strides in bridging the gap between controllers and CFOs through her innovative company focused on CFO brain technology. With her entrepreneurial spirit and extensive experience as a senior commercial lender in Ontario, Labes observed the frequent disconnect between company goals and financial reporting, prompting her to develop solutions that enable smooth transitions and informed decision-making. Labes emphasizes the distinction between a controller and a CFO, noting that while controllers focus on compliance and reporting, CFOs are tasked with interpretation, forecasting, and engaging with external stakeholders such as lenders and investors. She advises CEOs to carefully differentiate between operating finance, managed by controllers, and strategic finance, handled by CFOs, to ensure they hire the right individual who can truly drive the company's growth and success. Key Takeaways: Financial intelligence is essential for CEOs and executives to make informed decisions and drive growth in businesses. Aligning business strategy with financial strategy, especially in terms of capital planning and sourcing, is crucial to achieve long-term goals and maximize shareholder value creation. The importance of communication and alignment between CEOs and CFOs in driving business decisions and financial strategies forward is crucial. Misaligned objectives between CEOs and CFOs can lead to potential issues in decision-making. Jim Schleckser emphasizes the importance of Economic Value Added (EVA) analysis in assessing wealth creation and aligning incentives with long-term value creation. Understanding the different levels of financial expertise required when hiring a CFO is crucial.

Bethany Prettyman is the Senior Director of Marketing Operations at Huntress, a cybersecurity company specializing in managed detection and response solutions for small and mid-sized businesses. With a robust background in strategic operations, she leads initiatives that enhance marketing efficiency and drive growth. Bethany's leadership ensures that Huntress's marketing strategies effectively communicate the company's mission to protect underserved organizations from cyber threats. In this episode… The traditional B2B marketing funnel might be doing more harm than good. In an era of complex buyer journeys and intent-driven decisions, is it still realistic, or even useful, to imagine prospects moving through neat, linear stages? What if the funnel model we've relied on for decades is actually leading marketing ops teams astray? According to Bethany Prettyman, a seasoned expert in marketing operations and data-driven strategy, the funnel is no longer linear, it's a loop. She highlights how today's B2B buyers bounce between channels, revisit research, and often re-enter the journey post-purchase, making linear tracking obsolete. The result? Misaligned attribution models and missed opportunities to optimize real engagement. Bethany explains that the obsession with MQLs is outdated and that teams should instead prioritize intent and velocity, focusing on signals that indicate purchase readiness rather than arbitrary lead scores. This mindset shift not only improves conversion but also strengthens alignment with sales. In this episode of the Revenue Engine Podcast, host Alex Gluz speaks with Bethany Prettyman, Senior Director of Marketing Operations at Huntress, to discuss why the traditional B2B funnel is broken. They explore why loop-based models better reflect today's buyer behavior, how attribution should evolve, and the dangers of tech bloat in marketing stacks. Bethany also shares her agile approach to reporting and how to bridge gaps between sales, marketing, and finance.

You've felt it.  The quiet ache in your chest when it is time to go to work.The sense that your gifts are being wasted.  The growing discomfort that whispers, this isn't it anymore.But what now?  What do you actually do when you're spiritually waking up… but your career hasn't caught up yet?In this honest and heart-forward episode, we're peeling back the curtain on what this transition really looks like. Because it's easy to see people online living their soul-aligned dream lives—but what you don't see are the years of bridge jobs, identity deaths, side gigs, and subtle energetic shifts that got them there.If you're in a job that feels misaligned but don't know what's next, this conversation will land like right where it's meant to. We talk about:  The energetic purpose of misalignment and why it's part of your awakening   How to shift your reality without needing a perfectly mapped-out plan  Our real-life stories of navigating the in-between (including the messy moments and unexpected pivots)How we manifested our side gigs while building our aligned businesses What bridge jobs are, how to find them, and how they support the bigger vision  The frequency work you can start doing now to open the portal to something new  And why focusing on what is working now creates a stronger magnetic field for what's to comeThis episode will leave you feeling validated, empowered, and clear on how to take your first steps—no matter how small they feel.Because the truth is: you're not lost. You're just in the sacred space between who you were and who you're becoming. And that space holds MAGIC, if you know how to listen.⤵️

In this episode of Yet Another Value Podcast, host Andrew Walker returns for a solo discussion on Keros Therapeutics (KROS), a biotech firm navigating a dramatic fall from grace. Once buoyed by hopes for its leading drug Cybo (KER-012), KROS is now reeling from halted trials and a steep drop in share price. Andrew lays out the case for why this company, despite setbacks, may still hold considerable value. He explores KROS's licensing deal with Takeda, their significant cash reserves, and questions surrounding its future direction. Calling on shareholder alignment and corporate governance, Andrew challenges listeners to consider whether KROS is veering into zombie biotech territory—or poised for a smart pivot.Stat+ article on zombie biotechs and Sutro: https://www.statnews.com/2025/03/19/sutro-bio-biotech-luvelta/Chapters:[00:00:00] Sponsor and Intro[00:03:00] Recap of Sage Pharmaceuticals as a case study in shareholder value.[00:04:48] Introduction to KROS and its recent setbacks, including Cybo's trial halt.[00:05:05] Defining the “zombie biotech” phenomenon and why it matters.[00:08:21] Misaligned incentives between management and shareholders in troubled biotechs.[00:10:04] Why KROS's partnership with Takeda could be its most valuable asset.[00:13:14] Review of KROS's three main drugs: Cybo, 065, and 050 (licensed to Takeda).[00:14:55] Risk-adjusted value potential of KROS's royalties from Takeda deal.[00:17:01] Mixed data from 065 and skepticism from analysts.[00:18:09] Potential but doubtful value remaining in Cybo post-trial shutdown.[00:18:40] KROS's massive cash balance vs. market cap and implications for shareholder returns.[00:20:05] Breakdown of 2023 overhead and burn rate concerns.[00:21:53] Call for drastic cost cuts and corporate reevaluation.[00:23:36] Analysis of board alignment and concern over lack of urgency.[00:25:44] Why KROS no longer needs a science-heavy board.[00:28:44] Shareholder engagement as a tool to prevent value destruction.[00:31:33] Encouragement for listeners to contact the board and advocate for value-maximizing outcomes.Links:See our legal disclaimer here: https://www.yetanothervalueblog.com/p/legal-and-disclaimer

Are you leaving money on the table? Most SaaS founders are—and don't even realize it. In this episode of SaaS Fuel, Jeff Mains sits down with James D. Wilton, managing partner at Motivate and former senior pricing expert at McKinsey. James shares how to align pricing with value, avoid the biggest monetization mistakes, and build a pricing strategy that actually supports growth.We cover the science and psychology behind pricing, the dangers of freemium gone wrong, why founders underprice out of fear, and how to choose the right value metric for your product. If you've ever struggled with pricing tiers, packaging, or just knowing what to charge—this is the episode that will change everything.Key Takeaways 00:00 - Why most founders don't know what their customers will pay 02:00 - Why pricing is a growth lever, not a math problem 07:00 - Why even smart SaaS companies guess at pricing 12:00 - The psychology of discounting and its lasting effects 15:00 - How perceived value drives pricing power 18:30 - Misconceptions about willingness to pay 22:00 - How to move from gut feel to data-driven pricing 26:00 - Pricing reactions vary wildly—here's why 29:20 - Choosing the right pricing metric for your SaaS 34:00 - Misaligned pricing metrics can kill retention 38:00 - Freemium pitfalls: Free riders vs real conversions 42:30 - How to build a freemium model that actually works 46:00 - How many pricing tiers should you really have? 50:00 - A simple 3-step framework to rethink your pricingTweetable Quotes“If you don't know what your customer is willing to pay, ask—but ask with a skeptical lens.” — James Wilton“Pricing is about perception, not production cost.” — Jeff Mains“Discounts change how customers value your product—even when the discount ends.” — James Wilton“Founders often price based on fear. That's how you end up in the freemium trap.” — Jeff Mains“Pick a value metric that scales with the customer, not just your bottom line.” — James Wilton“The biggest growth lever most SaaS companies ignore? Pricing.” — Jeff MainsSaaS Leadership LessonsPricing is perception – Your value isn't just what you deliver, it's what customers believe they're getting.Freemium can be fatal – If your free tier attracts the wrong audience or discourages usage, it hurts more than it helps.Your best price metric is tied to your customer's success – Not your costs, not your features. It's about their value.Discounting can damage trust – Shaving off dollars may feel good short-term, but it lowers long-term perceived value.Founders should evolve from instinct to insight – Start with your gut, but shift to customer data and behavior fast.Keep pricing simple – Too many tiers confuse buyers and stall conversion.

Avoiding accountability creates chaos, misalignment, and inefficiencies that impact every part of your business. If leaders aren't holding each other accountable, you'll see wasted resources, declining morale, and reduced profitability. Let's dive into why accountability matters and how to fix it.Kodak: A Leadership Failure (00:02:03)Kodak invented the first digital camera in the 1970s but failed to act. Leadership avoided tough decisions, fearing disruption to their film business. While they stalled, competitors advanced, and Kodak eventually filed for bankruptcy in 2012—not due to technology, but due to poor accountability and leadership.Lack of Alignment Creates Chaos (00:03:37)Misaligned leadership leads to confusion and inefficiency. When leaders push different priorities without accountability, resources scatter instead of focusing on a common goal, ultimately hurting productivity and team morale.Unspoken Issues Breed Toxicity (00:08:31)Ignoring problems creates resentment and disengagement. If leaders fail to address accountability issues, passive-aggressiveness spreads, morale drops, and trust erodes. Tackle problems early to prevent toxicity.Productivity and Profits Decline (00:13:13)A lack of accountability increases inefficiencies, poor decisions, and wasted resources.

Is magic just a miracle by another name? Jesus taught magic—let's talk about faith, ritual, and resonance!--- Join and support the community: https://www.creationspaths.com/ In this episode, Charlie and Brian, Christopagan Druids, explore the **historical debate on magic vs. miracles**, tracing the origins of the term "magic" in ancient Greece. They discuss how **faith, intention, and ritual work** intersect in both religious and magical practices, challenging the common misconception that magic is merely wishful thinking.A key focus is the **parable of the mustard seed** from Matthew 17, which is often misunderstood. Rather than emphasizing the _size_ of faith, the passage highlights **faith's potential for prodigious growth** when nurtured with spiritual and ritual discipline. Jesus himself practiced what could be considered magic, teaching his disciples the importance of **prayer, fasting, and ritual** in achieving transformation.Charlie and Brian introduce the **Law of Resonance**, contrasting it with the flawed concept of the **Law of Attraction**. Resonance, they argue, is about aligning with specific energies through faith and intentionality—what you put into the universe shapes what you receive. Misaligned or desperate intentions, especially in magic, can backfire, as seen in personal anecdotes about unintended financial consequences.They also delve into **Paul's mystical teachings** in Romans 14, arguing that Paul's approach to faith aligns with magical practice—stating that “whatever is not of faith is sin,” meaning our **belief systems shape our reality and determine spiritual resonance**. Paul, they suggest, was a **practitioner of Merkava mysticism**, a form of Jewish esoteric tradition.Thank you for Liking and Subscribing to this podcastThank you for sharing this episode with your loved ones, friends and community--- Thank you for Tips or Donations: https://ko-fi.com/cedorsett https://patreon.com/cedorsett https://cash.app/$CreationsPathsSubstack: https://www.creationspaths.com/ For all of the things we are doing at The Seraphic Grove go to Creation's Paths https://www.creationspaths.com/ For Educational Resource: https://wisdomscry.com --- A Christopagan Manifesto--- Answer to the Call: A Dream of an Oak Church Guided Meditations Playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0J2QAAlD1uaIJvQ3Sr9sIqO Christopagan Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0ISXDQkZBRB7EHrUUJgXlGN The Everything Playlist:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLV0C8kiTKv0Ln3eGW-tDk2R68PM6c182OCreation's Paths Podcast: http://www.creationspaths.com/podcast Church of the Oak Podcast: http://churchoftheoak.com/Hallowstead Podcast: http://hallowstead.com/Social Connections: BlueSky https://bsky.app/profile/creationspaths.com Threads https://www.threads.net/@creationspaths Instagram https://www.instagram.com/creationspaths/#Christopagan #CreationSpirituality #ChristianWitch #Paganism #Esoteric #Magic #Druidry #Mysticism #Spirituality #Occult #WitchCraft #Wicca #IrishPaganism #CelticPaganism #Magick #Polytheism #Enchantment #FaithAndMagic #LawOfResonance #MiraclesVsMagic #SubtleEnergies #PrayerAndFasting​## Chapters:00:00 The Age-Old Debate: Magic vs. Miracles01:19 Faith and Rituals in the Gospels02:14 Introduction to Faith Acts and Resonance03:16 Understanding Faith as a Mustard Seed05:02 The Spectrum of Magic: Wishes, Prayers, and Spells06:24 The Role of Will, Intention, and Faith in Magic06:58 Joseph Campbell and the Evolution of Society10:19 The Law of Resonance Explained16:42 Real-World Examples of Resonance in Action25:26 Concluding Thoughts and Practical Advice Get full access to Creation's Paths at www.creationspaths.com/subscribe

We're all tired. We feel sluggish and unfocused and out of sync with our bodies. We know that circadian rhythms are important, but we aren't exactly sure how they work. Instead, we're bombarded with solutions—blue-light blocking glasses, melatonin, light lamps, complicated eating schedules—without a clear explanation of the problem they're solving or the science behind them. The truth is circadian rhythms are a bigger part of our lives than we ever realized. Their wide-ranging effects can boggle the mind, and researchers are just starting to discover exactly how they function—and how much our modern lives have thrown them out of whack. It's time to give up that late-night TikTok doom scrolling. Science writer Lynne Peeples is here to help us reclaim the rhythms that profoundly affect our health and well-being in her groundbreaking book THE INNER CLOCK: Living in Sync with Our Circadian Rhythms (Riverhead Books; On Sale September 24, 2024) which has already received glowing praise (below) from James Nestor, Daniel Pink, Mary Roach, Dan Fagin, Deborah Blum and more. Misaligned circadian rhythm disrupt sleep, reduce productivity, and raise the risk of serious, life-threatening ailments. Our bodies are full of tiny timepieces synchronized to the sun and subtle signals in our environment, but they're up against modern insults like artificial light, contrived time zones, and late-night meals that wreak havoc on our internal clocks and health. THE INNER CLOCK explores the emerging and fascinating science behind circadian rhythms and its transformative applications. Peeples seeks out the scientists, astronauts, athletes, and patients at the forefront of a growing movement. We learn about experts and enthusiasts experimenting with their circadian clocks, with surprising results. Alongside rigorous reporting, Peeples tests the research as she sleeps in a Cold War–era bunker, chases the midnight sun, spits into test tubes, and wears high-tech light sensors to decipher what makes our internal clocks tick and how we can reset them for the better. She discusses everything from jet lag to aging connections with our circadian rhythms, productivity and athletic performance peaks to connections between circadian rhythms and our gut microbiome and even Alzheimer's disease.

Misaligned teams lead to missed opportunities. In today's episode, we're joined by Amy Higgins, Director of Content Strategy at Cloudflare, who explores the power of integrated planning in marketing. Amy highlights the challenges of siloed strategies, the importance of sales-marketing collaboration and the need for creative experimentation within structured marketing frameworks. She also discusses how businesses can measure ROI effectively while balancing long-term and short-term marketing goals.Key Takeaways:(01:15) Integrated planning keeps teams aligned from the start.(02:14) SEO-focused content should target buyers, not just end users, to drive real conversions.(03:38) A unified company goal, such as increasing ACV, helps align all marketing efforts.(04:46) Sales must be involved throughout the marketing process.(05:32) Word choices in marketing materials impact buyer perception.(08:03) Creativity in marketing should be tested strategically within proven frameworks.(09:00) ROI should be measured beyond revenue, considering internal and external impact.(09:38) New marketing initiatives must align with business goals.(10:23) Long-term marketing efforts, like podcasting, require patience and commitment.(12:05) The future of marketing lies in building engaged communities.Resources Mentioned: Amy Higgins -https://www.linkedin.com/in/amywhiggins/Cloudflare | LinkedIn -https://www.linkedin.com/company/cloudflare/Cloudflare | Website -https://www.cloudflare.com/This episode is brought to you by Content Allies.Content Allies helps B2B tech companies launch revenue-generating podcasts and build relationships that drive revenue through podcast networking.

If someone said a global health and development programme was sustainable, participatory, and holistic, you'd have to guess that they were saying something positive. But according to today's guest Karen Levy — deworming pioneer and veteran of Innovations for Poverty Action, Evidence Action, and Y Combinator — each of those three concepts has become so fashionable that they're at risk of being seriously overrated and applied where they don't belong.Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in March 2022.Links to learn more, highlights, and full transcript.Such concepts might even cause harm — trying to make a project embody all three is as likely to ruin it as help it flourish.First, what do people mean by 'sustainability'? Usually they mean something like the programme will eventually be able to continue without needing further financial support from the donor. But how is that possible? Governments, nonprofits, and aid agencies aim to provide health services, education, infrastructure, financial services, and so on — and all of these require ongoing funding to pay for materials and staff to keep them running.Given that someone needs to keep paying, Karen tells us that in practice, 'sustainability' is usually a euphemism for the programme at some point being passed on to someone else to fund — usually the national government. And while that can be fine, the national government of Kenya only spends $400 per person to provide each and every government service — just 2% of what the US spends on each resident. Incredibly tight budgets like that are typical of low-income countries.'Participatory' also sounds nice, and inasmuch as it means leaders are accountable to the people they're trying to help, it probably is. But Karen tells us that in the field, ‘participatory' usually means that recipients are expected to be involved in planning and delivering services themselves.While that might be suitable in some situations, it's hardly something people in rich countries always want for themselves. Ideally we want government healthcare and education to be high quality without us having to attend meetings to keep it on track — and people in poor countries have as many or more pressures on their time. While accountability is desirable, an expectation of participation can be as much a burden as a blessing.Finally, making a programme 'holistic' could be smart, but as Karen lays out, it also has some major downsides. For one, it means you're doing lots of things at once, which makes it hard to tell which parts of the project are making the biggest difference relative to their cost. For another, when you have a lot of goals at once, it's hard to tell whether you're making progress, or really put your mind to focusing on making one thing go extremely well. And finally, holistic programmes can be impractically expensive — Karen tells the story of a wonderful 'holistic school health' programme that, if continued, was going to cost 3.5 times the entire school's budget.In this in-depth conversation, originally released in March 2022, Karen Levy and host Rob Wiblin chat about the above, as well as:Why it pays to figure out how you'll interpret the results of an experiment ahead of timeThe trouble with misaligned incentives within the development industryProjects that don't deliver value for money and should be scaled downHow Karen accidentally became a leading figure in the push to deworm tens of millions of schoolchildrenLogistical challenges in reaching huge numbers of people with essential servicesLessons from Karen's many-decades careerAnd much moreChapters:Cold open (00:00:00)Rob's intro (00:01:33)The interview begins (00:02:21)Funding for effective altruist–mentality development projects (00:04:59)Pre-policy plans (00:08:36)‘Sustainability', and other myths in typical international development practice (00:21:37)‘Participatoriness' (00:36:20)‘Holistic approaches' (00:40:20)How the development industry sees evidence-based development (00:51:31)Initiatives in Africa that should be significantly curtailed (00:56:30)Misaligned incentives within the development industry (01:05:46)Deworming: the early days (01:21:09)The problem of deworming (01:34:27)Deworm the World (01:45:43)Where the majority of the work was happening (01:55:38)Logistical issues (02:20:41)The importance of a theory of change (02:31:46)Ways that things have changed since 2006 (02:36:07)Academic work vs policy work (02:38:33)Fit for Purpose (02:43:40)Living in Kenya (03:00:32)Underrated life advice (03:05:29)Rob's outro (03:09:18)Producer: Keiran HarrisAudio mastering: Ben Cordell and Ryan KesslerTranscriptions: Katy Moore

January 17, 2025 Hello and Happy Day! This is Dr. MaryAnn Diorio, Novelist and Story Coach, welcoming you to another episode of Winning with the Word. Today is Friday, January 17, 2025, and this is episode #1 in Series 2025. This episode is titled "The Truth about Healing—Part 2."Wherever we turn, people are sick. And, it seems, getting sicker. Perhaps you are one of them.If so, you need to listen to this podcast or read this blog post to the very end. It is the second in a series on healing I started last year.So, what's the deal with sickness? Where does it come from? Why does it come? And are we doomed just to live with it?Let's start with the first question: What's the deal with sickness? The deal is that it's a raw deal. A bad deal. Not a deal anyone wants to engage in. So why is there sickness?There's sickness because there's sin. Sickness has its roots in sin. This doesn't necessarily mean that the sick person has personally sinned. It means that when sin entered the world through the rebellion and fall of Adam and Eve, sickness was not far behind. Sickness is the offspring of sin, as is every evil thing in the world today. If Adam and Eve had not sinned, there would be no sickness. In fact, when God created them and placed them in the Garden of Eden, they were perfectly healthy in spirit, soul, and body. They were in perfect alignment with God.That's what health is, really. Alignment with God. When sin came into the world, this alignment was not only skewed; it was completely shattered. As descendants of Adam and Eve, we now share in that awful misalignment. You may ask why? Because we inherited Adam's sin nature. When Adam sinned, his nature became corrupted. Misaligned. Out of sync with God. So when Adam and Eve had children, that's all they could pass on to future generations. A sin nature. Adam and Eve's perfect, healthful nature had been destroyed by disobedience to God. All that was now left was a corrupted nature.So here we are today, still experiencing the consequences of Adam and Eve's sin. And sickness is one of those consequences.But lest you fall into despair, dear friend, let me now give you the good news. The good news is that Jesus Christ, through His death and resurrection, overcame the consequences of Adam's sin and restored to mankind Adam's original, uncorrupted nature. Is that something to shout about, or what? But, there's a catch. The only way man can now experience Adam's original, uncorrupted nature is by being born again. In other words, by accepting Jesus Christ as Savior and Lord. When you are born again, you instantly receive the nature of Christ which is incorruptible. The nature of Christ is also perfectly healthy. This new nature comes to reside on the inside of you and to make you what the Bible calls "a new creation." The born again person, therefore, has a new nature on the inside of him. The nature of Christ. And Christ is not sick!"Well, then, Dr. MaryAnn, "you may be asking, "why are so many Christians sick?" Fair question! The reason is found in the Bible in Hosea 4: 6 where God says, "My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge." In other words, Christians are sick because they don't know they're supposed to be well!Now before you turn off this podcast or stop reading this blog post, do yourself a favor and get all the facts. Because God is God, He cannot lie. So when He says something in His Word, He means it, right? Okay. Let's look at some of the things God has said in the Bible about healing:___Exodus 15: 26 NIV - "I am the LORD, who heals you."___ Jeremiah 30: 17 NASB - "For I will restore you to health And I will heal you of your wounds,' declares the LORD."___Psalm 41: 3 - "The LORD will sustain him upon his sickbed; In his illness, You restore him to health.___Matthew 12: 15 NASB - "Many followed Him, and He healed them all . . . ."___Matthew 8: 17 NLT - "“He took our sicknesses and removed our diseases.”I could go on and on with verses proving that God hate...

BONUS: A Coaching Masterclass - How Our Language Affects Our Leadership Style, And The Culture We Create, With Michelle Pauk and Victor Pena In this BONUS episode, Victor Pena and Michelle Pauk dive deep into the power of language in shaping our work as leaders, Agile Coaches, and Scrum Masters. Together, we explore how the words we use influence relationships, decisions, and the success of Agile practices. From navigating the ambiguity of language to fostering effective communication, this episode provides actionable insights to help you thrive in a constantly changing workplace. Language as a Culture Carrier “Language is how we carry culture, but without clarity, it can lead to misalignment and conflict.” Victor and Michelle discuss how language reflects and shapes workplace culture. Misaligned terminology—like “servant leader”—can create tension between teams and executives. They highlight the importance of achieving shared understanding and the role of language in fostering trust and collaboration. “Start by asking what others mean by key words—it's the first step toward alignment.” Feedforward vs. Feedback “Feedback gets us stuck in the past, while feedforward builds a path to a better future.” Drawing inspiration from Marshall Goldsmith, we discuss how focusing on future-oriented improvement (feedforward) avoids the blame game and builds positive momentum. As Agile practitioners, shifting from root cause analysis to solution-focused coaching allows teams to move forward effectively. “Ask yourself, what can we do better tomorrow instead of dwelling on what went wrong yesterday?” The Ambiguity of Language in Collaboration “Words mean different things to different people—be curious about how others see the world.” Victor and Michelle unpack how language ambiguity impacts communication and decision-making. They emphasize the need to explore the assumptions behind others' words and how Agile principles like #NoEstimates challenge traditional views on planning and work management. “When you encounter a term that seems obvious, ask: What does this mean to you?” Semiotics and the Language of Work “Symbols are the silent drivers of collaboration.” Semiotics, the study of symbols, plays a vital role in Agile practices like visual management. From story cards to team boards, symbols help teams communicate and navigate their work. The duo discusses how the language of Agile evolves through symbols and how to introduce these effectively in organizations. “Create visual symbols that align with your team's values—they'll anchor your collaboration.” Beyond the “Agile is Dead” Debate, Raising The Bar Of Our Shared Conversation “What's trying to come forward in the evolution of Agile?” While some criticize Agile as outdated, Victor and Michelle argue that its core principles—delivering value faster and improving quality—remain timeless. They explore how Agile can evolve to meet current challenges while retaining its essence. “Instead of asking if Agile is dead, ask what the next evolution looks like.” About Victor Pena and Michelle Pauk Victor Pena is an Agile Coach dedicated to helping organizations achieve business agility.

Copying legal documents from others can create significant risks if they're not tailored to your business needs. Misaligned expectations with clients often lead to disputes that can be minimized with clear communication and legal documentation. Using AI tools without proper safeguards can expose your business to intellectual property and privacy risks. Investing in specialized legal and accounting professionals is critical for long-term business growth and protection. Proactively addressing legal gaps in your systems builds a stronger foundation and reduces the risk of costly problems later.

In this episode of the Rocket Chiropractic Podcast, host Jerry Kennedy discusses the challenges of maintaining a work-life balance as a chiropractor. He explores the extremes of hustle culture versus a carefree lifestyle, emphasizing the importance of finding a middle ground. Jerry shares insights on prioritizing family and health over business success, and the necessity of structure and discipline in both work and home life. He encourages listeners to be present with their families and to understand that saying yes to one commitment often means saying no to another. The conversation culminates in practical tips for achieving a balanced life while managing a chiropractic practice. Key Takeaways: 1. The Extremes of Work-Life Balance: On one end, you have the "hustle culture" that glorifies grinding 24/7 to achieve success. On the other, you have the carefree "YOLO mentality" that prioritizes living in the moment over building anything substantial. Both extremes come with consequences, especially for chiropractors with families. 2. The Real Priorities in Life: Visualize your life as a target. The bullseye is reserved for the most important people—your spouse, kids, and closest family members. Work is essential but does not belong at the center of your target. Misaligned priorities can lead to regrets and damaged relationships. 3. The Importance of Saying No: When you say yes to one thing, you're saying no to something else. Chiropractors must learn to prioritize structure, discipline, and efficiency in their work so they can be fully present at home. 4. Tips for Work-Life Balance: At Work: Create structure and discipline in your practice. Be efficient and prioritize foundational tasks that truly matter. Avoid wasted time and inefficiency—it directly affects your time with family. At Home: Be fully present when you're home. Don't bring work problems into family time. Understand that the time you spend at home is irreplaceable. Communicate with your spouse and set expectations for temporary sacrifices while building your practice. 5. Timing is Everything: If you're single and building a practice, take advantage of the flexibility. If you have a family, use them as your motivation to work smarter, not just harder. Remember: The hustle phase is temporary. Your goal is to provide for your family without sacrificing your relationships. Final Thoughts: You won't look back on your life and wish you'd worked more or earned a little extra money. What truly matters are the relationships you build and the moments you cherish with your family. Keep your priorities straight, work efficiently, and when you're home—be home.

The world's moving fast, sometimes too fast. Whether it's AI taking over ad campaigns, fake LinkedIn profiles popping up, or the healthcare system extracting more than it gives, the threads connecting our modern chaos are all too clear. Misaligned incentives and unchecked technologies are reshaping industries, culture, and even how we trust each other. Progress can be exciting, but it's also raising some tough questions: Are we losing our humanity in the race to optimize everything? Take Coca-Cola, the apex predator of branding. This holiday season, they swapped their usual creative mastery for AI-generated ads, and people noticed. The results weren't just underwhelming; they were unsettling. It's a perfect example of what happens when we try to replicate the human touch with machines that aren't there yet. But this isn't just about Coke. It's about a broader trend of trading quality for convenience and innovation for cost-cutting—and the ripple effects it has on culture, trust, and livelihoods. This week, we're unpacking the tension between innovation and integrity, exploring how businesses, governments, and individuals can find a better balance. From the rise of fake AI personas to headlights designed to cheat brightness tests, we'll dig into what these examples say about the systems we rely on and what happens when those systems fail us. It's a wild ride, but one thing's for sure: the way forward has to be more thoughtful than the path that got us here.

Season after season, the “Building Better Developers” podcast inspires tech enthusiasts to refine their craft by fostering productive habits. In a recent episode, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche emphasized coding standards—a crucial but often overlooked pillar in software development. Here's a deep dive into their insights on how personal and team-wide coding standards can elevate your development game. Why Coding Standards Matter At its core, coding standards provide consistency and clarity. Whether you're an independent developer or part of a large team, they serve as a guideline for writing clean, maintainable, and professional code. Rob pointed out that following standards is not about adhering to rigid rules but about making life easier—for yourself and your team. Michael added a critical perspective: coding standards often extend beyond aesthetics. In industries like healthcare and finance, compliance with external standards like HIPAA or SOC is mandatory. Similarly, developers working on mobile apps must align with platform-specific requirements, such as those of the Apple App Store, to ensure their software is accepted and functions as intended. Personalizing Coding Standards The hosts encouraged listeners to start with personal coding standards before expanding to team-wide practices. Rob explained that simple habits, such as consistent indentation, intuitive variable naming, and clear function structuring, can dramatically improve readability and maintainability. He also highlighted tools like linters and formatters, which can automate the enforcement of these standards. Michael expanded on this idea, emphasizing the concept of “clean code.” By writing self-documenting code—where functions, variables, and structures clearly convey their purpose—developers can minimize reliance on inline comments. However, he noted the importance of documenting elusive bugs or unique solutions directly in the codebase to prevent future troubleshooting headaches. Leveraging Tools for Consistent Coding Standards The episode underscored the importance of adopting tools like linters, such as SonarLint or integrated features in IDEs like Visual Studio Code. These tools can help enforce standards automatically, reducing the likelihood of human error. The hosts recommended configuring these tools for “format on save,” ensuring consistent styling across a team's codebase. Rob highlighted the productivity benefits of standardization, especially during code reviews and merges. Misaligned formats can create confusion, leading to unnecessary rework. By agreeing on a common setup and sharing IDE configurations, teams can streamline their development process and focus on meaningful changes. The Broader Impact of Standards Beyond the practicalities, coding standards contribute to a sense of professionalism and ownership. Rob likened them to a team's “stamp,” reflecting their identity and ethos. For individual developers, adhering to consistent standards fosters discipline, an essential trait for long-term growth. Michael introduced a compelling argument for balancing internal and external requirements. While personal and team standards are foundational, developers must also be mindful of external constraints, such as compliance and platform guidelines. This dual focus ensures that software not only functions well but also meets legal and industry expectations. Challenges and Takeaways: Refining Your Coding Standards The hosts concluded with a weekly challenge: dedicate 5–10 minutes daily to reviewing and refining your code according to your standards. This practice serves as a litmus test to assess whether you're following your own rules. For teams without established standards, they recommended adopting widely respected guidelines, like Google's or PEP 8 for Python, as a starting point. Bonus tips included leveraging documentation exports and linter configurations to share consistent settings across teams. By doing so, developers can create an environment where everyone writes code that feels cohesive and professional. Final Thoughts Coding standards might not be the flashiest aspect of development, but they are undeniably impactful. By committing to personal and team-wide practices, you can improve not just your code but also your efficiency, collaboration, and career prospects. Whether you're refining your Pomodoro technique or revisiting old projects, take a moment to reflect on your coding habits and how they align with your standards. As Rob and Michael emphasized, “Building Better Developers” is about incremental progress. Coding standards are one small step toward becoming a more disciplined and effective developer. Start today, and see the difference it makes in your workflow and your team's success.
