Sometimes the best lessons come from someone who's just one step ahead. After 300+ episodes and founders from over 30 countries, Kevin Prewett is hitting the reset button on Rising Tide Startups. Not starting over, just getting refocused on what matters most: that leap from cubicle to startup. In this episode, Kevin explains why he's shifting direction. He's learned that while successful founders have amazing stories, sometimes their lessons are harder to apply when you're just starting. Instead, he wants to focus on people just slightly ahead in the journey. Still working day jobs, still building nights and weekends, still figuring it out. Kevin embodies this approach. He keeps his full-time job while building side ventures that all trace back to his original podcast - Rising Tide Startups. His story proves you don't need to quit everything to start building something meaningful. This reset focuses on the transition moment that most people can actually relate to. Here are the key takeaways from the episode: Find mentors who are just slightly ahead of you. Learning from someone 10 steps ahead is inspiring, but someone 2-3 steps ahead gives you a roadmap you can actually follow. You don't have to choose between stability and building something. Kevin has monetized multiple side ventures while keeping his day job, proving you can have both. Free content builds everything else. Start by giving value, and everything else follows. Narrowing your focus creates deeper connections. After featuring all types of founders, Kevin is zeroing in on the cubicle-to-startup transition because that's where people need the most help. Consistency wins over intensity. Two episodes per month keeps the momentum without burning out. The leap is the story that matters most. That moment when someone stops dreaming and starts building is where real inspiration lives.   Listen to the full conversation here: YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@risingtidestartups Apple Podcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/rising-tide-startups/id1330525474 Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/2eq7unl70TRPsBhjLEsNZR Connect with Kevin: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kevin-prewett/  Website: https://www.podbrandmedia.com/  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podbrandmedia/    Closing thought:"Sometimes the most powerful move isn't jumping off the cliff—it's building your wings while you're still on solid ground."

In this episode of the Tough Girl Podcast, we're joined by Christine Reed—an American long-distance backpacker and award-winning author—whose life changed when she took her first steps on the Appalachian Trail in 2015. With no prior backpacking experience, Christine dove headfirst into the unknown, seeking healing, purpose, and a sense of identity. Since then, Christine has hiked thousands of miles, lived out of a van, and carved a creative path through storytelling. Her debut memoir, Alone in Wonderland, captured her raw and powerful journey of self-discovery, while her latest anthology Blood Sweat Tears amplifies the voices of women+ on trail—sharing unfiltered stories about periods, pain, perseverance, and everything in between. We talk about grief, growth, writing through discomfort, and the courage it takes to follow your passions even when they feel far outside your comfort zone. Christine's story reminds us that you don't have to be outdoorsy, athletic, or fearless to start—you just have to begin. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges? Support via Patreon!

  Today on the podcast, I am chatting to Rich Webster, who is a designer, entrepreneur, mentor, and consultant. He helps other creative entrepreneurs work less, and I've personally been a fan of his work and podcast for a few years now. We're talking all about how to work less, but as you'll hear, we dive into so much more, from focusing your business to the real impact of mental clutter. I really hope you enjoy this one!   Key Takeaways The 1% Brain Power Myth: Rich explained that the difference between dedicating 1% of your brainpower to a task versus 0% isn't just 1% – it feels more like 100%. Letting go of lingering business responsibilities, even small ones, can free up an enormous amount of mental space. Diversification as Distraction: Contrary to popular advice, Rich argues that diversification can often be a distraction, especially for solopreneurs. Narrowing your focus to the one or two things that provide the highest leverage can be far more effective for growth. Expert vs. Marketing Business: When looking to grow, solopreneurs often burn out trying to excel at both high-level client fulfilment and extensive marketing. Rich suggests choosing a path: either an "expert business" (scaling with price by becoming a sought-after specialist) or a "marketing business" (scaling with volume through products that don't require your direct time for fulfilment). Systemise Your "Non-Genius" Work: Identify your highest leverage tasks (for Rich, it's thinking and writing) and systemise everything else. This involves creating standard operating procedures, templates, and delegating, allowing you to spend more time in your zone of genius. The "One In, One Out" Rule for Your Time: Inspired by a minimalist philosophy for the home, Rich suggests that if you bring a new commitment or task (like starting Morning Pages) into your life, you should consciously remove something else to make space for it.     Episode Highlights 01:00: Rich shares his powerful origin story, touching on his journey from addiction to becoming an entrepreneur and how that shapes his perspective. 09:00: The surprising mental cost of keeping even seemingly small business commitments active; that final leap to 0% makes a huge difference. 11:00: Rich presents his compelling argument that "diversification is distraction" and why focusing your efforts is often the smarter move for sustainable growth. 17:00: An exploration of the two distinct business models solopreneurs can adopt to avoid burnout: the "expert business" scaling with price, or the "marketing business" scaling with volume. 46:00: Applying a minimalist household rule to your business and time: if you decide to add a new activity or commitment, what will you remove to make space for it?   About the Guest Rich Webster is a designer, entrepreneur, mentor, and consultant who helps creative entrepreneurs work less and achieve more.

Welcome to a new season of The Purposeful Pen! With the school year winding down, I'm excited to launch a fresh, focused season on the podcast. From May through July, we're diving deep into a critical aspect of your writing journey—identifying your ideal reader and clarifying your God-given message.In this episode, I share a behind-the-scenes “state of the podcast” update, explain how future seasons will be structured, and then walk through why getting narrow and specific about your audience is actually the key to writing with more depth and clarity.We'll also explore:* Why being specific helps you write more, not less.* Biblical examples of focused ministry from Paul, Peter, and even Jesus.* How to overcome the fear of “leaving people out” when narrowing your niche.* Why writing for everyone ends up connecting with no one.* How a clear focus builds trust and resonance with your reader.

Send us a MessageIn this solo episode of Culture Change RX, Sue Tetzlaff discusses the importance of effective leadership in healthcare organizations. She emphasizes the need for leaders to focus on proactive leadership activities. By categorizing their time into three buckets—whirlwind, management, and leadership—leaders can better allocate their efforts to achieve meaningful results. The episode concludes with a call to narrow focus and leverage time for greater impact in leadership roles.

This episode is for JMOs who are ready to transition and don't want to take a step back in their next business career. In it, we: Define who this is for: JMOs aiming to lead and take on greater responsibility in a Business Leadership Career. Explain the "Traditional Career Search": Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Indeed, USAJOBS, etc. Define the "Non-Traditional Career Search." Explore why JMOs often default to the traditional approach. Share key takeaways and closing thoughts. JMOs are traditional candidates for defense-sector roles, but in the private sector, they are seen as non-traditional candidates. That is why Transition Rule #3 is: Throw Out the Traditional Career Search if you are aiming for upward mobility in business leadership. What is the "Traditional Career Search"? Searching based on past experience: “I have this experience in this industry,” or “I have this degree.” This focuses on what you have done, not your potential for leadership growth. Narrowing your options by what you know: Location or Career Field, or both. “I am a Logistics Officer, and my home of record is Dallas, TX, so I will pursue Logistics in Dallas.” Applying through job boards and online platforms: Glassdoor, LinkedIn, Indeed, USAJOBS. “Networking” that often feels vague or produces unclear outcomes. Important: The traditional search can work well for JMOs staying in defense, where their functional experience directly matches role requirements. But if you are making a hard pivot into business leadership, you need a different approach. The Reality of Online Applications in 2025 Job postings on LinkedIn attract 150 or more applicants. Popular roles see 300 or more. Indeed and Glassdoor listings often draw 200 to 500 candidates for a single role. Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) filter out 75% to 90% of résumés before they reach a human. The result? A success rate of only 2% to 5% for landing an interview via online applications. What is the "Non-Traditional Career Search"? A non-traditional search takes a different approach. It focuses on: Highlighting your leadership experience, potential, and ambition as your key value. Embracing a Growth and Investment Mindset. Expanding and comparing multiple opportunities. This does not mean applying to 200 companies but making quality attempts. Consider this: Of the 168 million people in the U.S. workforce, only 1.3 million are active-duty service members. Of those, about 200,000 to 234,000 are officers. JMOs (typically O-1 to O-3, with some O-4s) make up about 100,000 to 140,000. That is less than 0.1% of the total U.S. workforce. JMOs are a specialized leadership talent pool. Their skills are highly valuable but often overlooked by traditional hiring methods. The key is getting in front of companies that recognize your unique potential. The Big Question If you are a JMO pivoting to business, ask yourself: Do you know anyone who has lined up 10 to 12 quality interviews over two days? Interviews with hiring managers and decision-makers that bypass online filters, for roles that match or exceed their current pay and responsibility, and align with their separation timeline? This is what a targeted, quality-driven search looks like. A broad search gives you the power of comparison, helps you gather facts and real data, and puts you in a strong position when it is time to choose between offers. Facing Transition Challenges We know transition is tough. It is full of uncertainty, and it is natural to lean toward a traditional search. Well-meaning advice from family and friends can sometimes miss the mark if they lack expertise. There is also the temptation to choose what is familiar, like a job close to home or with a recognizable title. But those options might not deliver the long-term growth you deserve.

Andy Bunker and Randy McMichael discuss what the rest of the Braves season may look like as the calendar turns to May.

In this episode of The Distribution, host Brandon Sedloff sits down with Maria Surina, Managing Director in the Real Assets group at Cambridge Associates, for a wide-ranging conversation on how real estate and broader real assets are evolving within institutional and private wealth portfolios. Maria shares her unique career journey—from growing up in Russia and studying real estate finance in Canada, to working across appraisals, operating companies, endowments, and now advising clients at Cambridge Associates.

The conversation also covers: How demographics, digital infrastructure, and energy transition are reshaping real assets The rising importance of operationally intensive real estate strategies How family offices and institutions are thinking differently about private markets exposure The challenges and opportunities facing GPs as the capital-raising environment evolves Why finding true differentiation in managers often comes down to execution, culture, and people Maria offers an inside look at how Cambridge evaluates managers, constructs portfolios, and helps clients navigate a shifting investment landscape—highlighting why long-term thinking, relationship-building, and sector expertise are more important than ever.

Ready to finally stop spinning your wheels and actually get things done?In this second part of the productivity hack series, Sam Mollaei builds on the foundation laid in Part 1 and delivers the full, game-changing framework that's helping lawyers escape constant overwhelm. This isn't another generic tip—it's a radical shift in how you approach productivity in your firm. Sam's proven system turns scattered to-do lists into focused, executable strategies fueled by clarity, urgency, and smart delegation. By applying this framework, you'll finally start working with intention instead of reaction. If you're ready to stop spinning your wheels and start scaling with precision, this episode is your blueprint.Ready to scale—without adding more to your plate?After hosting AI Advantage for Law with over 300 lawyers last week, one thing became crystal clear:The fastest-growing firms aren't chasing more leads. They're fixing what happens after the lead comes in.If you missed the masterclass or are ready to implement what was taught, we're now offering a private AI Intake Audit — personalized to your firm.We'll audit your current intakePinpoint where time and leads are slippingGive you a plug-and-play roadmap to automate it allBook a 1-on-1 AI Intake Audit here → https://schedule.mylegalacademy.com/aiKey Takeaways from Sam and Neil:1. The Power of Written ClarityExecution starts with intention—and that means writing it down.A clear, actionable plan on paper creates the focus and direction you need to follow through.2. Deadlines Create MovementEvery step needs a specific deadline—without it, things drift.When you anchor tasks to a date and time, you trigger momentum and start closing loops.3. Think in 1 to 3 Day BlocksPlans that span weeks or months often become wishful thinking.Narrowing your focus to what can be done in one to three days forces action and results.4. Delegate RuthlesslyYou shouldn't be the bottleneck—hand off as much as possible.Delegation is only powerful if paired with accountability, so make follow-through part of the process.5. Execution Over IdeasIdeas don't build law firms—consistent implementation does.When you track your time, measure your output, and embrace “done over perfect,” you create real growth. "Vision sets the direction, knowledge fuels the confidence. But ultimately, it's the implementation that helps cross the finish line." — Sam Mollaei

In this episode of the Warships Pod guests David Murrin and Dr David Blagden, with help from host Iain Ballantyne, discuss a worldwide struggle in a multi-polar era that is rapidly turning kinetic - from Ukraine, to the Red Sea and Gaza. It may soon burn even hotter should China invade Taiwan and/or the USA attack Iran. A number of topics are discussed during this episode, including the following: *Does the European Union (EU) have a place in such a world, at the top table? Or is it going to be sweeping up the crumbs along with the UK, the latter finding itself a bridge to neither the USA or the EU? *Bearing in mind the UK is a maritime nation, is committing what remains of the British armed forces to policing a frozen war in Ukraine unwise? Do we risk a situation where things get bogged down in that theatre while the Russians run amok at sea, with the UK defenceless? *With concerted attacks by US Navy carrier jets and cruise missile attacks by other USN units against the Houthis in Yemen is it at odds with the Trump administration's supposed urgent priority of facing down China and its huge navy? Every missile expended against the Houthis is surely one less for use against the Chinese? *Narrowing the discussion down to the UK, with the Labour government announcing plans to cut welfare to pay for Defence boosts, how do the two Davids think the Royal Navy should mould itself? Finally - and this is a big one for the episode's final point of discussion - are we heading inexorably towards what the tabloids might call WW3? Or can it be avoided?

What if everything you've been told about Instagram strategy for the past year is actually wrong? In this episode, I share surprising new research that completely contradicts the "Reels and video first" approach many of us feel we should be focussed on. The data reveals a dramatic shift in what's now actually driving reach and engagement for creative businesses in 2025 - and it's not what most experts have been advising. This shift will come as a welcome relief to many creative entrepreneurs who've been struggling with constant video creation despite it not feeling natural to their business.
