Modeling different financial scenarios provides clarity for decisions on housing, income, and children's needs. Pensions and future retirement funding are often overlooked but crucial to secure financial stability post-divorce. Divorce financial advice should be empathetic and tailored to individual lifestyles and needs. BEST MOMENTS "Fear around money was huge... what price do you put on that emotional peace of mind?" "You don't really want your lifestyle to be compromised... everyone is completely unique." "If everybody could get to a stage to do it amicably, life would be quite different." "People not being open and honest makes it very difficult to get the best results for them."

In this lecture, we close out our review of DES fundamentals and hand simulation. After going through a hand-simulation example one last time, we show how to implement a Discrete Event System (DES) simulation using a spreadsheet tool like Microsoft Excel without any "macros" (VBA, etc.). This involves defining relationships ACROSS TIME that allow the spreadsheet to (in a declarative fashion) reconstruct the trajectory that is the output of the simulation.At the end of the lecture, we pivot to discussing the previous "Lab 2 (Muffin Oven Simulation)", which lets us introduce common random numbers (CRNs), statistical blocking, requirements of 2-sample and paired t-tests, and more sophisticated statistical methods that better characterize PRACTICAL significance (and take into account the multiple comparisons problem). Thus, the post-lab2 reflections are largely a preview of future topics in the course.

In this episode of the Creator Method Podcast, Gary sits down with Vita Sidorkina, a former Victoria's Secret model who reinvented herself as a lifestyle and wellness content creator. In this conversation, Vita opens up about her extraordinary path from leaving Russia at 17 to pursue modeling in New York, to walking the runway for luxury brands like Hermès, Montcler, and ultimately, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. She shares the often unseen realities of modeling apartments, the pressure of being “too short” for high fashion, and the sacrifices she made to build her career in a fiercely competitive industry. But Vita's story didn't end with the runway. After marriage and motherhood, she faced the abrupt slowdown of her modeling opportunities and the emotional toll of letting go of her original dream. For years, she wrestled with fear and self-doubt before finally uploading her first YouTube video, five years after creating her channel. Today, Vita reaches over 1.3 million people across Instagram, YouTube, and TikTok, connecting through authenticity, humor, and a fresh approach to wellness and lifestyle content. Discover how Vita overcame perfectionism, embraced vulnerability, and found confidence on camera. She reveals the mindset shifts that helped her break free from the fashion industry's limits, why consistency and experimentation became the keys to growth, and how she's now building her next chapter with a wellness platform designed to inspire balance and resilience. More than just a story of modeling or content creation, Vita's journey is about courage, reinvention, and the power of trusting yourself when the old playbook no longer works. Whether you're an aspiring creator or a seasoned entrepreneur, her insights will remind you that it's never too late to rewrite your path.

We're back with our latest episode of the Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast.

In this episode, Kathryn mixes marketing magic with Jennifer Warren, VP of Global Brand Marketing and Creative at Indeed. They discuss the intersection of brand and performance marketing, the challenge of proving the value of brand efforts and Indeed's experiments with social listening. Guest Quote: “ One of the things that we have done to help build faith in things like media mix modeling is calibrate the model based on different information. So whether it's experiments, clean room experiments that we're doing or using last click data, we use that to look at what we're learning from our model, for example, and say, ‘okay, this is like out of line. So that means we should probe a little bit more on this channel and what the model is telling us'. Last click is a lot simpler to measure, so it's a lot easier to put your faith in that. When I think about performance marketing, that was for a long time the way everything was measured. But as the world has become more complicated, I've had to really work hard at trying to demonstrate that brand and performance are things that work together.'Episode Breakdown: [03:02] Alchemy UnveiledAttribution and proving the value of brand: While last click may be easier to measure, it doesn't tell the full picture.

Across the country, international students are returning to a new normal on campus — as the Trump administration ramps up immigration enforcement efforts. In part because of new restrictions on student visas and bans on citizens of certain countries traveling to the U.S., some students aren't returning to campus at all. Modeling from the National Association of International Educators projects a 30 to 40 percent decline in new international student enrollment this fall. The cost of that decline to Minnesota's economy is projected to be $77 million.Tuesday is the first day of classes at Macalester College in St. Paul. MPR News host Nina Moini caught up with President Suzanne Rivera about what she's been observing as students return to campus.

Mark talks with Lynn about her introduction to modeling instruction right at the beginning of her teaching career and how modeling works so well with the specific AP physics areas of focus. Lynn reminds us that when we are the only teachers of a certain STEM subject at our school, it is incredibly important to find community beyond the walls of our school. They talk about gender equity in our science classrooms. As always, Mark asks his guest to share her best modeling tips for teachers. Finally, they talk about adapting to the annual requests for doing some new thing in all classrooms. Guest Lynn Jorgensen After graduating from BYU with a degree in Physics Teaching, Lynn Jorgensen took a few years off to raise her family. She then began her teaching career in 2015 at Gilbert High School. As a singleton teacher finding a community of support and relevant PD became her primary focus. These searches led Lynn to the Arizona section of AAPT and STEMteachersPHX. Serving as vice president for AzAAPT for a number of years. She started working with Arizona State University's modeling instruction program as she earned her Masters of Natural Science (physics) degree. Working with the Modeling community lead her to serve on the executive board of AMTA. She has also served on the K-12 task force with AAPT, as well as a teacher fellow on the InterAmerican Teacher Education Network. In every opportunity Lynn has looked for ways to strengthen her teaching skills and to try to reach as many students as she can each year. Highlights [4:17] Lynn Orgensen "you might know physics, but modeling helps you understand how to actually get your information across to your students." [8:44] Lynn Orgensen "modeling really helps fill that gap with AP to really help students understand how things are connected and that there's these relationships. Not just an equation, but we can focus on the graphs. There's multiple forms of representation, which is all of the kind of things AP loves to hear and to see" [18:27] Lynn Orgensen "there is absolutely something to be said for having a community of like-minded people wanting to just help each other be better."

“Psychological safety is the belief that one will not be punished or humiliated for speaking up. It's a shared belief that a team is safe for taking interpersonal risks.” - Amy C. Edmondson Psychological safety paired with perspective taking is a game changer for hopeful allies in power. In this mini-sode from the new book We Want You: An Allyship Guide for People with Power, I talk about the importance of separating intentions versus impact, asking open-ended questions that start with "what" or "how," and extending grace to yourself and others.
Leadership is the single most important factor in a sales team's success. You can have talented reps, strong products, and a solid sales process, but without effective leadership, performance stalls. As Duff Tucker, Sales Trainer, puts it on this episode of the Sales Gravy Podcast: "You have to model the behaviors that you want your team to live out. When you model those, you get a lot of credibility. You have respect. You have influence.” In today's hyper-competitive sales environment, your team has choices. Top performers can work anywhere. Average reps will coast if you let them. But the teams that consistently crush quotas, retain top talent, and create cultures where everyone wants to win all have one thing in common: a leader who has mastered the fundamental skills that turn potential into performance. Here are five leadership skills every sales manager must master to drive their team to the next level. 1. Clear Communication: No Confusion, No Excuses Sales teams don't fail because of a lack of talent—they fail because of unclear expectations. Leadership starts with communication. If your reps don't know exactly what you expect, how you measure success, or where they're falling short, you're setting them up to miss the mark. Clarity means: Defining priorities: What activities matter most (calls, meetings, proposals) and why. Eliminating ambiguity: No mixed signals, no “read between the lines.” Giving feedback in real time: Don't wait for quarterly reviews to correct course. Practical tip: After every meeting, send a short recap of agreed actions and timelines. It reinforces expectations and removes excuses. Vague leadership creates vague results. 2. Goal Setting & Vision: Building Direction, Not Just Numbers A sales leader isn't just a scoreboard watcher. Your job is to give your team something bigger to aim at than just “hitting quota.” Without a clear vision, teams drift into reactive mode and lack initiative. People perform better when they're chasing a clear, meaningful vision. Effective goal setting requires more than revenue targets. It's about: Tying team goals to organizational strategy. Breaking big objectives into manageable activity benchmarks. Painting a picture of what winning looks like so reps can see themselves in it. Practical tip: Start every month by walking your team through why their goals matter and how success impacts the company, the customer, and their own careers. When reps buy into the vision, they push harder to achieve it. 3. Coaching: From Boss to Builder Micromanagers kill momentum. Coaches create it. Leadership in sales means shifting from telling people what to do to building people who can do it themselves. Great sales coaching involves: Observation: Ride-alongs, call reviews, pipeline inspections. Targeted feedback: Specific, actionable, focused on behaviors, not personality. Development mindset: Every interaction is a teaching moment. Practical tip: Block weekly one-on-one coaching sessions that focus on skills and pipeline health. Ask questions that uncover roadblocks instead of delivering lectures. Consistently coached reps outperform those left to figure it out alone. 4. Adaptability: Leading Through Change Markets shift, customers evolve, and strategies that worked yesterday won't guarantee tomorrow's success. The best leaders view challenges as opportunities. Adaptability looks like: Adjusting sales strategies with confidence. Staying ahead of industry trends, not reacting late. Modeling resilience when things don't go according to plan. Practical tip: Hold monthly “market pulse” sessions where you and your team discuss shifts in buyer behavior, competitor activity, and emerging tools. This keeps your team agile and ready to move, rather than stuck waiting for direction. 5. Accountability & Recognition: The Performance Balance Leadership is about balance, not being a cheerleader or tyrant.

Points of Interest00:01 – 00:51 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes Carson Pierce back to the show and introduces the episode's focus on utilization, specifically the hidden costs of low utilization in agencies.01:18 – 01:50 – Why Utilization Matters Now: Marcel notes that many agencies are struggling with overstaffing and underutilization in a difficult market, which compounds hidden costs over time.01:50 – 02:45 – Carson's Perspective on Utilization: Carson explains that agency owners often see only the surface-level financial impact of low utilization, but miss the deeper, unexpected effects it creates.02:45 – 03:26 – Everyday Utilization Analogies: Carson shares real-world examples, like an unused Jeep and moving trucks, to illustrate how underutilized assets quietly drain resources.03:39 – 05:59 – Defining Utilization Clearly: Marcel defines utilization as the percentage of purchased team capacity actually used for revenue-generating client work, clarifying common misconceptions and variations.07:25 – 09:25 – Over-Servicing as a Hidden Cost: Carson highlights how idle team members often fill time by overservicing clients, which distorts expectations, undermines project profitability, and becomes habitual.09:25 – 11:00 – Internal Projects and Incentives: Marcel explains that low utilization often shifts time into internal projects, which can be productive but frequently become unfocused or misaligned with priorities.11:00 – 13:47 – Lost Efficiency Without Pressure: Carson argues that high utilization forces efficiency improvements, whereas low utilization removes urgency, leading to stagnant processes and missed bottleneck discovery.15:55 – 17:46 – Disengagement and Cultural Risks: Carson warns that underutilized employees may feel unproductive, disengage, or eventually leave, while survivors of downsizing can resist returning to higher workload levels.20:08 – 21:34 – Opportunity Cost of Low Utilization: Marcel expands on the long-term financial risks, including reduced profitability, lower enterprise value, depleted cash reserves, and a shift to defensive decision-making.25:23 – 27:35 – Managing Unutilized Time Wisely: Carson advises agencies to be deliberate with excess capacity, setting clear expectations for client over-servicing or internal projects and preparing for busy periods.29:21 – 34:21 – Modeling and Leadership Lessons: Marcel and Carson stress the importance of building a business model to set realistic utilization targets, and Marcel shares candid lessons from Parakeeto's restructuring journey.Show NotesDeep dive on UtilizationUtilization CalculatorBook: The GoalLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

He discusses the importance of modeling good behavior, setting boundaries, and staying authentic in both leadership and content creation. Jim also critiques the unhealthy 996 work culture and explains why teaching financial literacy to kids is one of the best investments parents can make. ✨ All episodes of The Girl Dad Show are proudly sponsored by Thesis, helping founders go further, together. Key Takeaways Over 30 years of leadership experience in Silicon Valley, including scaling Mozilla from Series A to IPO. Balancing family and career is crucial during children's formative years. Sales skills are valuable in every profession, not just sales roles. Travel fosters empathy and cultural understanding in children. Modeling behavior is more impactful than simply telling kids what to do. Setting boundaries between work and family leads to healthier relationships. The 996 work culture promotes burnout and imbalance. Financial literacy for kids is a must. Authenticity resonates more with audiences than polished perfection.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this powerful episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Rock Thomas—entrepreneur, bestselling author, and founder of the I Am Movement—to explore what it truly means to break free from limiting beliefs and take ownership of your life. Rock shares his journey from humble beginnings on a farm to building multiple successful businesses, and he unpacks the mindset shifts that helped him rise above struggle and design a life of purpose. We dive into how the words you speak shape your identity, the importance of surrounding yourself with the right influences, and why most men never reach their full potential. Rock also shares practical strategies for fathers to model growth, resilience, and confidence for their children. If you've ever felt stuck, defined by your past, or unsure of your next step, this conversation will challenge you to rewrite your story and live with intention. TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:00] - Welcome and introduction to Rock Thomas and the I Am Movement [3:08] - Growing up on a farm and the lessons of early hardship [7:15] - How childhood experiences shaped Rock's drive and identity [10:42] - Breaking free from the labels others put on you [14:20] - Why the words you use about yourself matter [18:55] - The turning point that shifted Rock's life trajectory [23:11] - The mentors who changed his mindset and path [27:36] - Building wealth without losing yourself in the process [31:48] - Why environment and community shape who you become [36:29] - The importance of modeling resilience for your kids [41:03] - Rock's strategies for reframing failure into fuel [45:17] - How to stop living by default and start living by design [50:42] - Parenting lessons: teaching kids ownership and responsibility [54:33] - Daily rituals and practices that keep Rock grounded [59:15] - The power of declaring “I Am” statements for identity [1:03:22] - Final reflections on building a life of purpose and growth 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Your Words Shape Your World The labels and stories you tell yourself directly influence your identity. Shifting your “I am” statements can transform your confidence, actions, and results. 2. Mentorship Accelerates Growth The right mentors can help you break through limitations and see possibilities you couldn't on your own. Who you learn from shapes who you become. 3. Environment Drives Identity The people you surround yourself with will either elevate you or keep you stuck. Community matters as much as personal discipline. 4. Failure Is Feedback Instead of avoiding mistakes, Rock reframes failure as fuel for growth. Every setback is a stepping stone to greater resilience and wisdom. 5. Parenting Is About Modeling Your children are watching how you live, not just what you say. Modeling ownership, resilience, and intentional living teaches them how to thrive.
