  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. Healthcare leaders often feel overwhelmed by the day-to-day chaos.Categorizing activities into “the three buckets” helps prioritize focus.Proactive leadership leads to better outcomes.Less is more when it comes to goals and improvement priorities.Narrowing focus can lead to greater organizational success.The chaos of work and any perceptions of underachieving affects personal life and well-being.Need help improving the culture, performance, and results of your healthcare organization?

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. She discusses how early lessons in valuation continue to shape her view of investment opportunities today, and how Cambridge helps clients build customized real assets portfolios that balance growth, diversification, and income. 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?

A page with 5 mishnayot: 1. To become a ben sorer u-moreh, the kid has to steal food from his father and eat it while on the property of others. 2. For the kid to be a ben sorer u-moreh, both parents need to be in agreement in bringing him to court. Plus, the parents have to be suited for each other (and not in violation of prohibited relationships -- but also the Gemara establishes them as more the "same" than that). 3. If either parents has a physical impairment or disability, the child is excluded from the potential status of ben sorer u-moreh, via very careful interpretation of the biblical verses. 4. What happens to a boy who is brought to court before the signs of physical maturity, flees the court, and then he grows the genital hair? Would he still be liable? Punished? Plus, the stringent rules for a Noahide who might evade the court (not for ben sorer u-moreh). 5. The ben sorer u-moreh is judged now out of concern for the harm he will (certainly) do down the road, which leads to an unusual (for a mishnah) discussion about the doings of wicked and righteous people, and their respective impacts on the world.

The discussion challenges traditional views of supervision by emphasizing the importance of psychological safety and predictable relationships between supervisors and workers. Through analysis of interviews with both supervisors and supervisees, the research highlights how effective supervision requires balancing organizational needs with worker support while maintaining clear boundaries and expectations. The findings suggest that organizations should focus on developing explicit supervision models that promote both technical expertise and relationship skills. Discussion Points:(00:00) Introduction - what makes an effective supervisor?(02:29) Narrowing research focus, specific industry context(06:07) Introduction to the research paper and authors' backgrounds(09:46) The literature review's structure and key findings(22:12) Research methodology, interview approach, eight core themes, Theme 1: Safety and establishing predictable relationships(26:00) Theme 2-3: Emotional impact of work and learning/growth(35:45) Theme 4-5: Leadership behaviors and integrity/justice(42:12) Theme 6-7: Balancing supervision functions and organizational processes(51:14) Key takeaways and practical implications for organizations(55:00) The answer to our question: What are the attributes of an effective supervisor? The answer is, everything you expect, but with a new emphasis on the safety and predictability of that relationship.Like and follow, send us your comments and suggestions for future show topics! Quotes:"There is a ton of safety research which says that frontline supervision - that direct relationship between a team leader and the people they're supervising - is really, really important for safety." - Drew Rae"Supervision is a really important aspect of safety and safety management." - David Provan"Power is inherent in these relationships... Supervisors don't have a lot of formal power, so the supervisor themselves often won't feel that they have power at all." - Drew Rae"This is not an exploratory study.

Anthony Gill, a professor in the Department of Political Science at the University of Washington, sits down to share his thoughts on this intriguing subject. Professor Gill has dedicated much of his career to the research of political economy and religion & politics. Narrowing his focus on church-state relations, religious liberty, and religious economies, he is on a mission to flush out how the expansion of religious liberty occurred – and what gave rise to it. This resulted in him writing Political Origins of Religious Liberty, a representation of this research all in one place… In this episode, we cover the following: The conditions that are necessary for there to be religious liberty. Why the U.S. put religious freedom into its constitution. What led Professor Gill to pursue the economic study of religion. To learn more about Professor Gill and his work, click here now!

Narrowing your focus allows you to build trust and gain momentum.Rejection is an inevitable part of the process. Adopting a “sorter mentality” helps you find the right clients or collaborators without wasting energy on convincing the wrong ones.Social media and video content are powerful tools for scaling online coaching businesses. Repetition and consistency improve both your skills and your audience engagement.Focus on actions rather than outcomes. Staying process-driven allows you to navigate both the highs and lows of business more effectively.Humility is critical for long-term success. Staying grounded helps you make better decisions, strengthen relationships, and adapt to challenges.Dan's Strategies for Overcoming RejectionReframe rejection as a numbers game. Focus on finding the people who genuinely need your transformational coaching services.Develop a “sorter mentality” to identify ideal clients and opportunities instead of trying to convince everyone.Use the “ledge” technique to handle objections effectively by asking open-ended questions such as, “Can you tell me more about why you feel that way?”Build emotional resilience by recognizing rejection triggers and pausing to regain focus before responding.Leveraging Social Media and VideoConsistency is the foundation of building an online presence. Even if your initial videos or posts don't perform well, they refine your skills and prepare you for success.Focus on the process rather than results. Repeated efforts lead to growth, even if the payoff isn't immediate.Use social media strategically to connect with your niche audience and position yourself as an authority in transformational coaching and business scaling.Real Estate Market InsightsThe market is expected to remain stable in the near future. Entrepreneurs and agents should focus on gaining market share instead of relying on an increase in overall transaction volume.Models like EXP Realty's revenue-sharing system offer excellent opportunities to diversify income and stabilize business revenue during challenging times.Lessons from Dan's CareerHumility is essential for navigating challenges and sustaining success. Dan credits humility with helping him adapt to both opportunities and setbacks.Overconfidence during successful periods can hinder growth. Continuous learning and self-improvement are necessary to keep evolving.Success comes from persistence and...

SEO has always been a powerful way to drive online traffic, but with the rise of AI and Google algorithm updates, the game has shifted. So how do SEO agencies combat these new challenges and remain relevant? Steven Schneider, co-founder of TrioSEO, believes the secret is sticking to the fundamentals, and honing in what you're good at. In this episode, Steven shares why he's still a big believer in SEO, how he's adapted his agency to make the most of modern SEO, and how AI has reshaped online traffic. Steven also gives actionable tips on protecting your site from Google algorithm updates, explaining that quality content should be your top priority. He also explains that SEO is a marathon, not a sprint. According to Steven,  “ Everyone's trying to shave off time in SEO, but that's not how it works.  SEO is a game of delayed gratification. The strategy is to build something that will last for years. And if you're thinking in months and weeks, you're already upside down from the get-go.” Whether you're running an SEO agency or looking to boost your site's performance, this episode is packed with practical advice and strategies you can start using today.

Do you have too many ideas for digital products and you're just not sure where to start? One of the biggest hurdles for creators is deciding which idea to focus on and too often I see people stuck in decision-making and never launch anything. I don't want that to happen to you.  Join The Co-op - The Membership for Online Businesses Connect with Abagail Instagram All the Links! One of two things happens when people have too many ideas. Either they go nowhere or they try pretty much everything and put it all out there which makes things look scattered and confusing. When people are passionate about their ideas, choosing can feel like abandoning other ideas. I want you to reframe it: when you choose an idea, you are simply prioritizing one now but that doesn't mean that those other things won't come in time. At the end of this episode, you're going to have a framework to choose an idea and take it from concept to execution.  Episode Highlights Putting All Your Ideas Down on Paper [0:02:40]  Narrowing Your List of Ideas Down [0:06:13] Testing Your Idea with Presale [0:11:30] Thank you for listening!

Today's guest on the ADHD-ish podcast is my client, Anne Levine, a professional coach whose unique approach is centered around creating change that sticks. With a passion for integrating past successes into new ventures, Anne Levine specializes in guiding clients through the complexities of ADHD and personal growth challenges. For a number of reasons, many individuals with ADHD struggle with substance abuse, and achieving long term sobriety requires a deep understanding of not only how to change our beliefs and behaviors, but how to sustain them. With 30 years in recovery, Anne brings a profound understanding about achieving lasting change to her coaching practice. Because her background is so varied and her experience is rich, Anne was struggling to hone in on her specific niche and unique coaching framework. As a former therapist with several careers under my belt, who also has ADHD, I understood her challenge and knew exactly how to help her. And, I knew she was ready, when she said:"I want to deliver something so clear so that my client can say, 'This is what I did. If you want to do this, talk to her.'" Anne Levine
