In this episode of Skin Anarchy, Dr. Ekta Yadav sits down with Michele Henry, founder and CEO of FACE FOUNDRIÉ, to explore how the facial industry is being quietly—but fundamentally—rewritten. What began as a personal frustration became a scalable solution: professional skincare that's consistent, accessible, and designed for real life, not just special occasions.After her third child, Michele found herself stuck between facials that were either overly luxurious, prohibitively expensive, or wildly inconsistent. She wanted results, education, and efficiency—without the intimidation. When that middle ground didn't exist, she built it. FACE FOUNDRIÉ's facial-bar model challenged long-standing spa norms by focusing exclusively on high-quality facial services delivered quickly, clearly, and consistently.A central theme of the conversation is accessibility. Michele rejects the idea that skincare should feel exclusive or confusing. Transparent pricing and monthly memberships make frequency possible—and frequency, she explains, is what actually drives results. Prestige may impress, but approachability scales.Behind the scenes, FACE FOUNDRIÉ's real innovation is operational. Standardized protocols ensure clients receive the same experience across locations, while personalization comes through targeted enhancements layered on top—not improvisation. Technology tracks treatments and progress, reinforcing consistency as a clinical standard.The episode also tackles a common misconception: that advanced at-home products can replace professional care. Michele makes the case that treatments and products work best together—services like dermaplaning, peels, and extractions create the conditions for skincare to truly perform.At its core, FACE FOUNDRIÉ is about emotional safety as much as skin health. Clients choose how they want to experience their facial—quiet or educational—in spaces designed to feel welcoming, not intimidating.Listen to the full episode to hear how Michele Henry is redefining professional skincare—making results-driven facials scalable, sustainable, and built for everyday life.Learn more about Face Foundarié on their website and social media!CHAPTERS:(0:02) - Introduction & Face Foundrie Overview(0:59) - Michele's Personal Journey & The Origin Story(2:16) - Reimagining the Facial Bar Model(3:23) - Early Trial, Error & Rapid Pivot(5:26) - Accessibility, Memberships & Breaking Prestige Barriers(7:16) - Results-Driven Protocols vs Luxury Spa Experiences(8:23) - Consistency, Personalization & Scalable Systems(10:26) - Franchising Face Foundrie & National Growth(13:35) - Technology, AI & The Future of Skin Care ExperiencesPlease fill out this survey to give us feedback on the show!Don't forget to subscribe to Skin Anarchy on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or your preferred platform.Reach out to us through email with any questions.Sign up for our newsletter!Shop all our episodes and products mentioned through our ShopMy Shelf!*This is a paid collaboration Hosted on Acast.

To be a modern consumer is to experience poor customer service at some point in your life. The kind of service that has you in a fever dream of pressing “1” for “representative,” getting your call dropped, calling back again, and then asking to speak to a manager who can't solve your problem. Experts call this kind of service “sludge,” an administrative morass meant to deter, not help, consumers. And for some businesses, it's a feature not a bug.

OA1217 - Well, we recorded a bit late to make sure we caught Trump's "announcement" thingy and it was... nothing. But that's good! Matt also takes us through more travel bans that are going into effect and have been way underreported on. But The Federalist has a piece saying not only is this all great, but Trump should proudly adopt 1920s immigration policy. There is no quiet part anymore. But fortunately, Matt has a fun footnote for us to bring us back up!
In this powerful episode of The Alpha Male Coach Podcast, Kevin takes you deep into the core confusion of the human condition: the hallucination of separation. Broadcasting from the Yucatán, Kevin explores why your consciousness feels different depending on your environment, why “I” is the most misunderstood word in the human language, and how the illusion of being a separate ego is the root of all suffering.Kevin opens by distinguishing monism - the experiential recognition that all is one - from the far more common dualistic worldview most humans live in without question. He breaks down how the ego creates a false center of identity, a shadow-self imagined as a commander behind the eyes, and how this hallucination leads to fear, conflict, resistance, and misalignment across every dimension of life.Drawing on wisdom from Alan Watts, spiritual psychology, and his own Alpha philosophy, Kevin reframes humanity's relationship to nature, purpose, money, and each other. You are not an isolated observer placed “into” the world, he argues - you emerged from the world, just like an apple emerges from an apple tree. You are not a stranger in an indifferent universe; you are the universe becoming aware of itself.This episode explores:Why the ego believes “I am in here and the world is out there,” and why this premise is falseHow the belief in separation leads to fear, anxiety, loneliness, and conflictWhat monism reveals about your relationship to nature, your purpose, your emotions, and other humansWhy artificial intelligence is not consciousness, not intelligence, and never will beHow your environment is an extension of your body, not something separate from youHow shifting from dualism to unity transforms your thoughts, emotions, actions, and results through the Model of AlignmentKevin also offers practical embodiment tools to dissolve the hallucination of separation, including active meditation, breath practices, body-based inquiry, and applying the Model of Alignment to reveal whether your identity is operating from ego or from Alpha unity consciousness.Ultimately, this is an episode about awakening - about remembering your true nature as the field of consciousness expressing itself temporarily as a human being. The end of suffering doesn't come from controlling life, resisting emotion, or conquering the world. It comes from recognizing that I and life are not two things. When separation dissolves, fear dissolves with it. What remains is flow, power, presence, and freedom - the Alpha state.Brother, you are not separate from nature, from God, from humanity, or from your purpose. You are the expression of the infinite in human form.

As the payments industry looks toward 2026, many agents and ISOs are realizing the traditional agent model is under pressure. In this episode, James Shepherd sits down with Keith Sampson for an honest conversation about burnout, goal setting, and why chasing high splits often leads to unsustainable businesses. Keith shares lessons from building and exiting companies, navigating personal and professional burnout, and rethinking how payments fits into a larger long-term strategy. Together, they break down why the agent model is changing, how to think differently about referral versus dealer structures, and what it really takes to build lasting wealth in today's integrated payments landscape. The episode also includes a Today in Payments segment with Patti Murphy, covering timely industry news and updates not included in this interview.
Partnered with a Survivor: David Mandel and Ruth Stearns Mandel
Rain on the windows, a century-old clock in the kitchen, and a plate of bacon by the coffee set and David's 60th birthday set the scene for a raw, open conversation about vocation, love, and the future of domestic violence–informed systems. We pause to reflect on 40 years of David's practice and what it means to be truly witnessed—then we get specific about how to build safer families by changing how professionals see, measure, and respond to harm.We dig into a strengths-first approach that starts with “what's going right” and why that's not soft—it's real and nurturing of change. By centering survivors' experiences and recognising good practice in workers, we create solid ground for hard conversations about accountability. We talk candidly about the damage caused when systems remove children from safe parents because of a perpetrator's behavior, and how the Safe & Together Model reframes responsibility, documents patterns of coercive control, and reduces unnecessary removals. Along the way, we explore an ethic of care that holds multiple truths: refuse to demonize people, refuse to whitewash harm, and persist in naming impact.Looking ahead, we outline three big moves. First, scale with integrity: more certified trainers, partner agencies, and outcomes data across child protection and community services. Second, bridge men's mental health with male violence prevention—a silo-busting agenda that catches risk earlier, supports men in crisis, and protects partners and kids. Third, bring practice into the workflow with Safety Nexus, a model-guided technology that streamlines documentation, builds decision maps, reduces moral injury and burnout, and delivers real-time quality assurance. We also share how “credible experts”—survivors and cultural leaders—are paid, respected, and embedded in design so solutions are ethical, non-extractive, and truly useful.If you care about domestic violence, child safety, survivor-centered practice, men's health, or building humane systems that actually work, this conversation will give you tools and hope.

Jan Winhall is a psychotherapist, author, educator, and the developer of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM), a groundbreaking framework that integrates trauma therapy, polyvagal theory, and embodied focusing to understand and treat addiction and trauma. Over more than four decades of clinical work, Jan has specialized in supporting survivors of sexual violence, complex trauma, and addiction with a deeply de-pathologizing, feminist, and body-based lens. She is the founder of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model Institute, teaches internationally, and collaborates closely with leaders in the polyvagal community to bring more compassionate, somatically grounded approaches into trauma and addiction treatment. In this powerful and deeply validating conversation, Clarissa and Molly sit down with trauma and addiction therapist Jan Winhall, creator of the Felt Sense Polyvagal Model (FSPM). Jan weaves together feminist therapy, trauma theory, polyvagal theory, and embodied practice to completely reframe how we understand addictive behaviors like binging, purging, and compulsive eating: not as "problems" or "defects," but as adaptive state-regulation strategies that the body uses to survive overwhelming experiences. Jan shares how early work with incest survivors revealed the harms of pathologizing, top-down psychiatric approaches—and how safety, dignity, and deep listening became the foundation for her model. Together, we explore how nervous-system states, shame, trauma, ADHD, and body image intersect with ultra-processed food addiction, and how recovery becomes possible when we work with the body instead of against it. This episode is for clinicians, helpers, and anyone living with food addiction who has ever wondered: "What if nothing about me is broken—and my body has been trying to keep me alive all along?" In This Episode, We Explore: • Jan's Origins in Trauma Work o Running groups for young women who were incest survivors in a small Ontario hospital o Seeing firsthand the limitations and harm of traditional psychiatric models o How feminist therapy and the work of Judith Herman and Sandra Butler helped de-pathologize survivors • From "What's Wrong With You?" to "What Happened to You?" o Why behaviors often labeled "manipulative" or "attention-seeking" (e.g., binging, purging, self-harm) are actually survival strategies o Understanding these behaviors as ways to regulate overwhelming nervous-system states, not moral failures • The Felt Sense & Polyvagal Theory – Explained Accessibly o What "felt sense" really means (beyond just "sensation") o How neuroception constantly scans for safety and danger below conscious awareness o The three main autonomic states: Ventral vagal – safety, connection, social engagement Sympathetic – fight/flight, agitation, urgency Dorsal vagal – shutdown, collapse, numbness, shame o How addictive behaviors help the body shift between these states to survive • Addiction as a Trauma Feedback Loop o Why the body cannot stay in high sympathetic arousal or deep shutdown forever o How food, substances, sex, and other behaviors become "jolts" that move us between states o The idea of a "trauma feedback loop" where trauma, dysregulation, and addiction constantly reinforce each other • Working with Trauma Without "Fishing" for It o Why Jan no longer goes "hunting" for trauma stories o The importance of Phase 1 work: establishing safety before uncovering trauma o How to help people gently reconnect with the body (starting at the edges: fingertips, earlobes, etc.) before approaching the more overwhelming inner experiences • Shame, Addiction, and Liberation o Why shame is so central to trauma and addiction—and why Jan actually loves working with it o Reframing shame: "This is what bodies do under threat; you are not uniquely broken." o How truly believing this (in our own bodies) changes how we show up for clients o Using groups, co-regulation, and shared stories to create "moments of liberation" • Food & Sex Addiction, Early Trauma, and Access o Why food and sex are often the earliest available forms of self-soothing for children in unsafe environments o How early masturbation and secret eating can evolve into entrenched patterns over decades o The stigma that keeps men with food addiction silent and unseen • ADHD, Neurodivergence & Addiction o How neurodivergent folks are especially vulnerable to regulation difficulties and shame o The clash between ADHD time perception and linear, "on-time" culture o The dopamine-driven ping-pong between shame (dorsal) and activation (sympathetic), and how this sets up classic addictive pathways o The "neuroplastic paradox" – getting stuck in ruts, and how intentional practice can build new pathways • Body Image, Misogyny & Reclaiming the Body o Why so many clients experience their body as "the enemy" o How misogyny, hyper-masculinity, and purity culture shape body hatred and silence around food addiction o The role of our own relationship with our bodies as therapists and helpers—how we co-regulate clients through our presence, not just our words • Receiving Love & Positive Feedback as a Trigger o Why compliments, affection, and warmth can feel more threatening than criticism for many addicted bodies o How to normalize this, slow it down, and help the nervous system "update" that it is safe enough now o Using group moments of discomfort as live material to work with neuroception and triggers • Self-Disclosure, Accessibility & Doing Our Own Work o Why Jan believes safe, boundaried self-disclosure can create powerful safety o Steve Porges' idea that "the greatest gift you can give is your accessibility" o Why clinicians must apply these models to their own lives first, so that their belief in the body's wisdom is genuine • Changing the Addiction Treatment Paradigm o The trauma of addiction treatment itself—shaming, punitive, expensive models o Jan's commitment to bringing compassionate, somatic, polyvagal-informed approaches into 12-step spaces and beyond o The importance of connecting communities (like Sweet Sobriety and FSPM) to shift the field together Follow Jan and the FSPM Institute: https://www.fspminstitute.com The content of our show is educational only.

Send us a textThank you, Chad Murphy, for making this week's episode possible!A bullied kid named Blue walked into a dojo and found a lifetime blueprint for leadership at home and at work. That mentor didn't just teach kicks—he taught trust, focus, and a community model that turns students into teachers. In this conversation, we go deep on how those early lessons shape the way we parent, listen, and show up for the people we lead.Blue Stiley is a professional keynote speaker, podcast host, and author who has spent decades uncovering and cultivating potential in himself and others. He discovered his passion for mentoring and entrepreneurship at just 13 while teaching martial arts, and over the past 30 years, he has carried that gift forward to inspire leaders, teams, and communities.We talk about “currency,” the motivations that really move someone, and how a single, well-aimed sentence from a trusted mentor can redirect a teenager more effectively than a hundred lectures. Blue shares a raw look at learning from two fathers: the sensei who modeled presence and the biological dad who modeled what to avoid. That “two-teacher lens” fuels his philosophy as a model, actor, strength coach to Olympians, and now keynote speaker: earn trust, make genuine connections, and build a community where people feel heard, seen, and valued.You'll hear practical mindset tools too. Leave problems at the door to train your focus. Put the phone down because a kid's request is a 10-minute window, not an hour. Let the egg break—experiments teach faster than warnings. Teach self-defense literacy without pressure by emphasizing hips-first power and clean fundamentals. And don't miss the baseball cards hustle: a cafeteria side deal turned into licensed tables at card shows, powered by a mom who drove the miles and believed. That story paid for college and cemented a simple definition of success—pickups after school, family dinners, and presence that compounds.If you're a parent, coach, or leader, this one will sharpen your approach. Listen, learn someone's currency, and build a community around them.

Hey, Notre Dame! Listen-up, Vandy fans. You, too, BYU! How about getting behind today’s idea which would have placed your favorite large division (FBS) college football team into a new 24-team College Football Playoff system? The latest and greatest 12-team College Football Playoff format began last year in the 2024 football season. The howling has continued about which teams make the 12-team field and which teams don’t. Last year, it was Alabama’s fans crying about being left out. A few weeks ago, it was Notre Dame’s fans and administrators yelling the loudest about being left out of the 12-team field. Why don’t we hear similar complaints coming schools in the smaller division FCS? The FCS (comprised of 129 teams) has a smoothly-working playoff system which includes its top 24 teams. That’s right! They begin with twice as many playoff teams as the major college FBS group (which had 136 teams this season). This year’s FCS playoffs began with eight first-round games played on the Saturday following Thanksgiving. After the first three rounds of elimination games, the two FCS semifinal games will be played this coming Saturday. Surprising Illinois State visits Villanova and Montana State will host intrastate rival Montana. The FCS title game will be played on Monday, January 5, 2026 at 6:30PM CST in Nashville, Tennessee on ESPN. Contrast that with the FBS and its cantankerous 12-team College Football Playoff system The larger schools haven’t even played one first round playoff game yet. Friday night will have Alabama traveling to play Oklahoma (a rematch from November 15 in Tuscaloosa won by OU 23-21). Three more opening round games will be played this Saturday. One of Saturday’s games features yet another rematch as Tulane visits Ole Miss for the second time this year. The larger schools’ College Football Playoffs will not crown a champion until Monday, January 19, 2026! Think about this. If #1 seed Indiana should reach the championship game, the Hoosiers’ spring semester would have been underway for a full week prior to the championship game involving last fall semester’s athlete/students. That is absurd! It is a consequence when major college football conferences and universities become hooked on television money. The networks now dictate how, where, and when their games are played. How many total games are played in the FCS playoffs vs. the major College Football Playoffs? From start to finish, the small college FCS playoffs include 24 teams. The top eight seeds receive a first round bye. The remaining 16 teams play eight first round games to trim the field to 16. Another eight games are played in the second round, four in the quarterfinals, two in the semifinals, and finally the national championship. That makes a total of 23 playoff opportunities for television. The FCS winner and runner-up may end-up playing five post-season games by January 5. Meanwhile, the 12-team major College Football Playoffs have 12 teams playing “4+4+2+1” for a total of 11 games. The winner and runner-up will play no less than three but as many as four post-season games ending on January 19. Would anyone really care if we lost the major conference championship games? To emulate the small college playoff system, the major college (FBS) current 12-game regular season would not provide for an extra week to play those made-for-TV conference championship games. Eliminating conference championship games would end the complaining from the losers of those title games. For example, look at the SEC. Why should 11-1 Ole Miss and 11-1 Texas A&M receive a week to heal-up at home after “losing” the SEC’s four-team tiebreaker for first place? Were 11-1 Georgia and 10-2 Alabama privileged – or penalized – by participating in the SEC Conference Championship earlier this month? This season, there were nine different conference championship games being played on the weekend of Saturday, December 6. The television partners carrying those conference title games (primarily Disney’s ESPN/ABC group) can fight over who will carry our new format’s eight first-round match-ups. Raise your hand if you would really miss losing six bowl games under this new 24-team plan! Adding the 12 additional playoff teams would eliminate six annual bowl games. Before grabbing your box of Kleenex, please remember that 26 bowl games still remain for the 52 remaining teams which finish with at least a 6-6 record. ESPN’s massive bowl-a-rama of post-season games would receive an overdue trim. The television ratings for any first round playoff game will easily eclipse Tuesday night’s “Salute to the Military” Bowl (won 17-13 by Jacksonville State over Troy). Who would be playing in a 24-team major College Football Playoff scenario? Let’s utilize the current FCS (small college) selection and its playoff format. I will also use the major College Football Playoff rankings to determine this year’s 24-team playoff field. Part 1 – Select the nine conference champions and 15 at-large teams based on the CFP rankings Nine conference champions – The following nine teams receive an automatic bid: American – CFP #20 Tulane (11-2) Atlantic Coast (ACC) – unranked Duke (8-5) Big 12 – Texas Tech CFP #4 (12-1) Big Ten – Indiana CFP #1 (13-0) Conference USA – unranked Kennesaw State (10-3) Mid-American – unranked Western Michigan (9-4) Mountain West – unranked Boise State (9-4) Southeastern (SEC) – Georgia CFP #3 (12-1) Sunbelt – CFP #24 James Madison (12-1) 15 At-large teams – These participants are selected from the CFP’s highest ranked remaining teams. They would have been: #2 Ohio State (12-1) – Big Ten #5 Oregon (11-1) – Big Ten #6 Ole Miss (11-1) – SEC #7 Texas A&M (11-1) – SEC #8 Oklahoma (10-2) – SEC #9 Alabama (9-3) – SEC #10 Miami (FL) (10-2) – ACC #11 Notre Dame (10-2) – Independent #12 BYU (11-2) – Big 12 #13 Texas (9-3) – SEC #14 Vanderbilt (10-2) – SEC #15 Utah (10-2) – Big 12 #16 USC (9-3) – Big Ten #17 Arizona (9-3) – Big 12 #18 Michigan (9-3) – Big Ten Part 2 – Determine the top eight overall seeds by utilizing the CFP Final rankings These teams would receive a “bye” in Round 1 and host a playoff game on their campus during Round 2 the following weekend. #1 – Indiana (13-0) #2 – Ohio State (12-1) #3 – Georgia (12-1) #4 – Texas Tech (12-1) #5 – Oregon (11-1) #6 – Ole Miss (11-1) #7 – Texas A&M (11-1) #8 – Oklahoma (12-1) Part 3 – The next eight seeds (#9-16) will host a first round playoff game on their campus This year’s first round home games would go to: #9 Alabama (9-3) #10 Miami (FL) (10-2) #11 Notre Dame (10-2) #12 BYU (11-2) #13 Texas (9-3) #14 Vanderbilt (10-2) #15 Utah (10-2) #16 USC (9-3) Part 4 – The final eight teams in the playoff field do not receive a seeding Those final eight teams (according to the College Football Playoff rankings) would be: Arizona, Michigan, Tulane, James Madison, Duke, Kennesaw State, Western Michigan, and Boise State. Like the FCS small college playoffs, first round match-ups would be based on geographic proximity and the avoidance of conference rematches from the regular season. Let’s do a little first round matchmaking. Grab your ancient Rand McNally maps and let’s go! #9 Alabama vs. Kennesaw State (202 miles) #10 Miami (FL) vs. James Madison (1,026 miles) #11 Notre Dame vs. Western Michigan (85 miles) #12 BYU vs. Boise State (390 miles) #13 Texas vs. Tulane (534 miles) #14 Vanderbilt vs. Duke (527 miles) #15 Utah vs. Michigan (1,621 miles) #16 USC vs. Arizona (491 miles) Part 5 – The eight first round winners hit the road in Round 2 to play at Seeds #1 – 8 in the second round. Since this is the first game for the top seeded teams, match-ups would consider geographic proximity and the avoidance of replaying a conference opponent. Part 6 – The highest seeded teams would continue to host games during the quarterfinals. At this point, the top seeds will simply host any unseeded teams or any remaining team with the highest seed number (for example, #1 vs. an unranked team or #16 or #15, etc.). Rematches between two regular season opponents are permitted at this point. Part 7 – The semifinal round will be played on New Year’s Day The “Final Four” would play a semifinal game at two of the former “big” New Year’s Day bowl game sites (Cotton, Rose, Sugar, and Orange). Part 8 – The national championship game would be played one week later and rotated at one of the former “big” New Year’s Day bowl sites (not being utilized in the semifinal round) Let’s summarize these changes if major college football should adopt the small college FCS 24-team playoff concept: No more conference championship games As a result, no more squabbling about the losing teams in conference title games 12 additional playoff teams More home playoff games Generating more television interest Six fewer lower-tier bowl games What are we waiting for?

We all want to leave a great legacy, but we love convenience more than cost. Legacy is not built on comfort; it's built on sacrifice.This week, Pastor Dalton shares a deeply personal story about his grandparents, Austin and Kathy, whose sacrificial love kept his family connected after divorce. Their life is a real-world example of the legacy that Jesus started at the manger.In this talk:
HSE Mid West's REO says the location of a new hospital for the region will be up to the Government. It follows confirmation from the Health Minister that the Government has accepted all three recommendations from HIQA's review of emergency care capacity in the Midwest. After meeting with Clare's Oireachtas members, Minister Jennifer Carroll MacNeill confirmed that work will begin in the new year on expanding capacity at University Hospital Limerick, developing a second site for UHL, and progressing plans for a new Model 3 hospital with an emergency department for the region. On Thursday's Morning Focus, HSE Mid West REO Sandra Broderick spoke about the pathway for the future of healthcare in the region. Photo (c) Alan Place

Today, I am delighted to connect with Dr. Sameena Rahman, a board-certified OBGYN and certified menopause practitioner with over a decade of expertise in midlife sexual medicine and concierge gynecology. Dr. Rahman founded the GSM Collective in downtown Chicago to deliver a more personalized patient-first model of health care for women. In our conversation, we explore how cultural and racial factors influence care for women, particularly during the menopausal transition. We discuss the heart disease risk of women with a baseline of inflammation and insulin resistance, the effects of allostatic load on minority women, why cognitive health is crucial, the impact of alcohol, and why the current medical model is a systemic failure that gaslights women. We also examine the impact of pelvic floor therapy, appropriate pelvic examinations, specific autoimmune vulvar conditions, and how oral contraceptives affect sexual health, and Dr. Rahman shares her recommendations for preventing frailty and loss of independence. I am a big admirer of Dr. Rahman's work and look forward to having her join us again after her new book is published. IN THIS EPISODE, YOU WILL LEARN: Why Hormone Replacement Therapy alone might not solve all menopausal genital issues How pelvic floor issues can even affect women who have not given vaginal births What a routine Pap smear can miss, regarding vulvar and vestibular health What a simple Q-tip test can reveal about vulvar pain How untreated pain can create a cycle of pelvic floor problems How local hormone therapy can target vulvar and vestibular pain where systemic hormones may fall short The benefits of trauma-informed exams The value of integrating pelvic floor therapy with local hormone treatment How long-term birth control use might affect vulvar tissue What to consider for balancing contraception with sexual health Bio: Dr. Sameena Rahman Dr. Sameena Rahman is a board-certified OB/GYN, sex-med gynecologist, menopause specialist, and a clinical assistant professor of OB/GYN at the Northwestern Feinberg School of Medicine. She is the founder of the GYN & Sexual Medicine Collective, a successful concierge practice that emphasizes evidence-based medicine, and an affiliate of Ms. Medicine.

What makes a business a high-performing system? Duplication. Helping a team member get promoted is rewarding, as it contributes to the team's growth. However, it can also create their fear of climbing the sales ladder and becoming independent.As a leader and mentor, you maintain their momentum by continuing to guide them in refining their sales strategy. You cannot afford to let uncertainty kill a new leader's drive. Your job is not to trust that they are more experienced now, but to create a structure that guarantees their success.In this Diamond Life Mentor Uncut episode, Balazs W Kardos is back with another Accelerator call to share his apprenticeship system that makes them consistently excel in sales.You will hear powerful insights and motivation around:Duplicating in leadershipTraining team members using an apprenticeship in sales callsMaking incentives effectiveStaying positive while facing objectionsUsing personal stories to illustrate benefitsBalazs presents a scenario where he encourages new leaders to learn from how he does the sales calls. By listening to 3 to 5 calls regularly and providing the Sales Playbook, which outlines the introduction, presentation, objection handling, and closing sequences, you improve the success rate of calls. Once your team masters it, duplication happens, and that's how your team continues to join the ranks.Lastly, you need to face objections with positive energy. You acknowledge their point: "Of course, that makes perfect sense. But you know what?

What happens when a flex workspace veteran with decades of global experience decides the future isn't about branded coworking takeovers—but about making flex invisible so the building itself can thrive? In this episode, Andrea Pirrotti, Head of Real Estate at infinitSpace, shares her unconventional approach to helping landlords activate underutilized space without heavy CapEx, long lease-up timelines, or the friction that comes with traditional flex operators. Andrea's background is extensive—she ran global marketing for IWG across 65 countries, led operations at Office Evolution, and now she's bringing a Dutch operator's profitable, partnership-first model to the Americas. We cover: Why spec suites look like a solution but often lose money for landlords How infinitSpace's semi-white-label model (Beyond) blends into a building's existing design and brand The fatal mistakes operators make that Andrea's team capitalizes on when taking over failed spaces Why "high optics, low friction" (like a barista at the entrance) creates outsized value without blowing budgets The magic 10% rule: why every building should dedicate at least 10% of inventory to flex Why banks still don't know how to value flex revenue—and what needs to change If you're a landlord wondering whether flex makes sense for your building, or an operator curious about partnership models that actually work, this conversation is essential listening.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a firm owner looking for ways to integrate AI into your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Richard interviews Hamid Kohan, founder of Law Practice AI, about the rapid impact of AI and technology on law firm operations. Hamid introduces his three-part power model and discusses how these elements are transforming legal staffing, operations, and profitability. Hamid shares his three-part power model and how it can change hiring for firms. The model includes ⅓ local staff, ⅓ virtual staff and ⅓ AI. Including some of each can really transform a law firm and allow operations and staffing to benefit from aspects that might seem very different. Virtual staff can cut down your costs and AI can allow you to figure out ways to take some work away from busy local staff and simplify it.There are areas of a firm that would thrive using AI. AI can supplement what is going on and shift people into more customer facing roles where they are helping clients. Roles like legal assistance, document collections and document summaries can benefit from the use of AI. These do not really require much human interaction, so these areas can be streamlined and made to work in a way to benefit a firm.Listen to learn more!2:12 Defining the three part power model 4:29 The vision for an AI law firm operating system13:13 Reasons for the law field's slow tech adoption 40:12 Advice to start new AI-driven law firms 46:58 Areas of a firm that would thrive using AITune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here.
