What if the fastest way to grow your travel business isn't social media or referrals, but showing up in your local community? In this episode, Whitney sits down with Kathryn Morga, founder of Adventure Smarter, to talk about how networking became the driving force behind her rapidly growing book of business. After relocating to Nashville with two young kids and a full-time job, Kathryn rebuilt her travel business from scratch and quickly scaled it from part-time to full-time through consistent community engagement. Rather than relying solely on repeat and referral clients, she focused on building relationships with local business owners who now act as enthusiastic advocates for her travel business. Kathryn shares how travel advisors can find the right networking groups, craft a memorable 60-second pitch, and track early signs of success long before referrals start rolling in. If you're looking for a practical way to expand your book of business beyond your existing network, this conversation offers a clear and actionable approach.

In this episode of the Health Coach Academy Podcast, we sit down with therapist, entrepreneur, and somatic practitioner Helen Malinowski to explore how she transformed her private practice from $150,000 to over $1 million in revenue in just five years. Helen shares the powerful story of how burnout forced her to rethink the traditional one-on-one service model and ultimately led her to build a thriving multi-clinician practice with nearly 30 clinicians and multiple locations. If you're a health coach, therapist, or wellness practitioner, this conversation will challenge the belief that helping professions must equal exhaustion. Helen explains how listening to your nervous system, setting boundaries, and building community can unlock both impact and financial success. You'll also learn why expanding beyond the solo practitioner model may be the key to building a sustainable and scalable health or coaching business. What You'll Learn in This Episode How Helen grew her practice from $150K to $1M in five years The burnout trap many therapists and health coaches fall into Why the traditional one-on-one client model isn't sustainable How nervous system regulation can guide better business decisions The mindset shift that allowed Helen to start saying no to clients How building a team and group practice created freedom and impact Why community and mentorship are essential for practitioners Marketing strategies that actually work for wellness professionals The power of local networking with doctors, chiropractors, and other providers How health coaches fit into the holistic healthcare ecosystem Helen Malinowski's Origin Story Helen grew up in a family of research scientists in Woods Hole, Massachusetts, and originally believed science was her only career path. But after discovering psychology and later social work, she found her calling helping people through counseling and trauma therapy. As her private practice grew, so did the demands. Like many practitioners, Helen struggled with: Business skills Marketing and finances Boundaries with clients Overwork and emotional fatigue By 2019, she realized something was wrong. She was experiencing classic burnout symptoms: Exhaustion Irritability Dreading work Feeling overwhelmed Ironically, she was burning out doing the work she loved most. The Turning Point: Discovering Somatic Experiencing Helen enrolled in somatic experiencing training, initially believing it would help her clients. Instead, it changed her life. Through this training she began to understand: How the nervous system affects decision making Why burnout happens in helping professions How to listen to internal signals of stress and capacity This new awareness helped her build a practice that aligned with her energy, values, and nervous system regulation. Why One-on-One Coaching Can Lead to Burnout One of the biggest insights Helen shares is that many practitioners get stuck in the one-on-one client model. While rewarding, it has limits: Your time is capped Your emotional energy gets drained Growth becomes impossible without burnout Helen realized she couldn't continue saying yes to every client. Instead of turning people away, she restructured her entire business model. Today, her practice includes: Nearly 30 clinicians Multiple therapy locations A dedicated children's mental health center Occupational therapy services Coaching and practitioner training programs The Power of Listening to Your Nervous System A major theme of this episode is body awareness in business decision-making. Helen explains that many professionals rely purely on logic and numbers. But your body often knows the answer first. She recommends asking: Does this opportunity feel expansive or draining? Does my body say yes… or hesitate? Am I making this decision from alignment or obligation? Learning to pause and check in with your nervous system can transform both business strategy and personal wellbeing. Marketing Strategies That Work for Wellness Practitioners Helen also breaks down the different marketing strategies she uses for her businesses. For her therapy practice: Psychology Today listings Insurance panels Local physician referrals Networking with healthcare providers Relationships with chiropractors, acupuncturists, and pediatricians For her coaching and training programs: Instagram content Blogs and educational articles Email newsletters Free workshops and trainings Online community building The key takeaway? Visibility + value = trust. Consistently sharing helpful content builds long-term relationships with your audience. Why Health Coaches Are Critical in the Healthcare Ecosystem One of the most important discussions in this episode is the role of health coaches in trauma-informed care. Helen explains that many therapy clients struggle with physical health issues related to stress and trauma, including: Chronic illness Autoimmune conditions Cardiovascular disease Hormonal imbalances Nervous system dysregulation While therapists address emotional healing, health coaches help clients implement daily lifestyle changes that support recovery. This makes health coaches an essential partner in a holistic health ecosystem. Advice for Health Coaches and Wellness Entrepreneurs Helen's biggest advice for practitioners: Slow down before making big business decisions. Instead of rushing into growth, ask: Is this aligned with my energy and values? Does this support my long-term sustainability? Am I building something that truly supports my life? When your business aligns with your nervous system, growth becomes more natural and sustainable. Helen's story is proof that helping people and building a profitable business are not mutually exclusive. By trusting your body, building the right team, and surrounding yourself with supportive community, it's possible to create a practice that flourishes financially while protecting your wellbeing. If you're a health coach, therapist, or wellness professional, this episode will inspire you to rethink what's possible in your career.

In this episode of Your Employment Matters, Beverly Williams welcomes Dr. John Huber and his son Sean Huber for a candid conversation about career paths, parenting, risk taking, and what it really means to build a satisfying life. Dr. Huber shares his journey from West Orange, New Jersey to the University of Pennsylvania School of Dental Medicine and eventually into private practice. He speaks openly about the persistence it took to gain admission to dental school, the value of mentorship, and how staying connected to scholarship sponsors and professional relationships helped shape his long-term success. His story reinforces a powerful truth: relationships are assets, and gratitude plus follow-through matter. Sean's path looks very different but carries the same underlying themes. After studying film at Drexel University, he left a job he loved to tour full time with his band Modern Baseball. What could have been a risky detour became a defining chapter. Touring the U.S., Europe, New Zealand, and beyond taught him resilience, adaptability, and problem solving. Today, he continues to perform while building a meaningful career in the craft beer industry. Now at Triple Bottom Brewing in Philadelphia, Sean works at a certified B Corp that operates on a “beer, people, planet” model. Beyond producing beer, the brewery runs a 16-week apprenticeship program for justice-affected and housing-insecure individuals, offering job training, reentry support, and employment placement. It is business with intention, not just profit. Throughout the conversation, several key themes emerge: Networking is not manipulation. It is intentional relationship building. Dr. Huber stayed in touch with scholarship sponsors and mentors, which opened doors and strengthened his professional foundation. Risk can be responsible. Sean's decision to leave a stable job for music was bold, but it was informed by passion and relationships. He never abandoned work ethic. Parents must balance protection and permission. Letting children travel, relocate, and pursue unconventional paths is difficult, but growth requires space. Satisfaction matters more than status. Both men emphasize enjoying their work. You can hear it in how they talk about it. Regret is usually about presence, not position. Dr. Huber wishes he had worked a little less and “smelled the roses” more. Sean wishes he had slowed down enough to absorb more culture and learning during his fast-paced touring years. The episode also touches on remote work and shifting workplace expectations post-COVID. Beverly reminds listeners that flexibility is possible, but profitability still drives business decisions. Employees must remain productive and adaptable. Employers must recognize that flexibility can strengthen performance and retention. What stands out most is the tone between father and son. There is respect, pride, and mutual recognition that hard work and character matter more than job titles. Different personalities. Different journeys. Same foundation. If you are navigating your own career crossroads, here are the takeaways: Build real relationships and maintain them. Choose paths that align with your values and energy.

Christina Weber did what most aspiring wildlife professionals think is impossible: she got every single offer she applied to with absolutely NO EXPERIENCE! How did she do it? That's what this week's episode of the Fancy Scientist Podcast is all about. After listening to this episode, I know you'll walk away inspired, ready to take action, and make things happen in your career so that you can work towards having a real impact on the species that need our help.I invited my former Successful Wildlife Professional student, Christina Weber, to come on the podcast because I have been so impressed by all the success she has achieved despite having no wildlife or environmental experience to get her foot in the door. When Christina began in the program, she was running a dog-walking business and had volunteered with horses, and needed help breaking into wildlife, conservation, or environmental work. Now she is working on a NASA-funded project and getting ready to start a summer internship at the American Museum of Natural History in NYC!Throughout our conversation, you'll learn exactly what Christina did to gain traction fast in her career. She took the program's advice and ran with it. And it WORKED. It worked so well that I honestly can't believe her results! She took experience into her own hands and started with citizen and community science (including regularly conducting eBird surveys). She took advantage of and attended one-off hands-on volunteer opportunities such as beach cleanups, seal monitoring, and horseshoe crab monitoring to start somewhere and meet people in the field.You'll hear how Christina maximized opportunities to network, including creating her own connections by cold emailing professionals with the templates provided in the Successful Wildlife Professional program, even though she describes herself as shy and introverted. Her networking efforts led to referrals, informational conversations, and REAL job opportunities.The results were incredible: Christina applied to four seasonal positions over the summer and was offered every one of them. She was even offered an AZA-accredited aquarium internship that she didn't apply for! The employer received her resume through a cold email and decided to put it in the internship pile! Christina was shocked when she received a call asking if she wanted to interview.Christina shares that now she's conducting research through a NASA-funded New Jersey Space Grant Consortium project on microplastic bioaccumulation in marine copepods. She explains how she designed a project connected to her ultimate goal of working with whales by studying what whales eat. When facing obstacles, she didn't let anything stop her, and she describes being “scrappy” in her community college setting by building equipment, culturing phytoplankton, and managing the costs and logistics of an ambitious project.We also talk about how much wildlife work involves working with people. Christina was even able to bring her past dog-walking experience into her wildlife work! She shares that she educated dog owners on responsible beach behavior around endangered piping plovers, using common ground from her dog walking business to communicate conservation messages effectively.After the interview, I offer you take-home points that you can apply right away to your own situation right now, no matter who you are, including how to volunteer without giving up your whole life or going into debt, using citizen/community science to build legitimate experience, get on LinkedIn strategically, and focus on quality over quantity in your job applications.If you ever thought you couldn't do something because you didn't have enough experience, go to the right school, or know the right people, Christina is living proof that you can do it on your own! There are NO excuses!Specifically, we talk about:Christina's exact steps from being a dog-walking business owner to working on a NASA-funded research projectWhy citizen and community science (like eBird surveys) can be a powerful way to build a real wildlife experienceSimple ways to gain hands-on exposure through short-term volunteer opportunities, such as beach or river cleanups, restoration projects, or other community service daysHow strategic networking and cold emailing professionals can open doors, even if you're shy or introvertedHow Christina used networking to get referrals, informational interviews, and unexpected job opportunitiesWhy she received job offers from every seasonal wildlife position she applied forThe surprising story of how she was offered an AZA-accredited aquarium internship she never applied for!An overview of her research on microplastic bioaccumulation in marine copepods through a NASA-funded projectHow she designed her research to align with her long-term goal of working with whales by studying their food sourcesHow she stayed resourceful in a community college setting by building equipment, culturing phytoplankton, and managing research logisticsWhy communication and working with people are a major part of wildlife careersPractical advice on volunteering without sacrificing your entire scheduleHow to use LinkedIn strategically to build relationships in the wildlife fieldWhy focusing on quality over quantity when applying for jobs can dramatically improve resultsThe mindset shift needed to stop waiting for perfect qualifications and start creating opportunitiesDream of being a wildlife biologist, zoologist, conservation biologist, or ecologist? Ready to turn your love of animals into a thriving career?

Networking advice is usually either painfully obvious or way too vague, but this one gets refreshingly specific. Jay Schwedelson gets blunt about what it actually takes to build the right relationships before you need them, and why most people are playing the networking game way too passively. It feels less like polished career advice and more like the push you need when resumes, promotions, or outreach are going nowhere.ㅤBest Moments:(01:09) LinkedIn is a long game, and 15 intentional minutes a day can change a lot.(02:10) Want higher-level people to notice you? Comment thoughtfully on their posts for weeks before you hit connect.(04:15) Start lower in the org chart so senior people see you already know their team.(05:38) Stop going to business events just to hang out and decide in advance who you need to meet.(07:44) Ask for introductions because one warm intro can shift your business or your career.(10:12) Jay takes his first pickleball lesson and immediately decides the sport has way too many rules.ㅤMASSIVE thank you to our Sponsor, CallRail!CallRail is the AI-powered lead intelligence platform that helps marketers prove exactly what's driving results.

Many entrepreneurs want to become speakers, but few understand how speaking opportunities actually happen. In this episode of Social Media Decoded, Michelle Thames breaks down the real ways entrepreneurs land stages, panels, and speaking engagements. While many people believe you need a speaker bureau or a massive following, Michelle explains why most speaking opportunities actually come from visibility, relationships, and people seeing your expertise in action. Through the Visibility Breakdown, Michelle explains how speakers get booked through content, networking, and referrals. She also shares real examples from her own journey, including how sharing ideas on Threads led to an opportunity to speak for Power Table and how posting on LinkedIn recently led to an invitation to speak at her alma mater, Northern Illinois University. If you're an entrepreneur who wants to start speaking or expand your authority, this episode will show you how visibility and relationships open doors to the right stages. What You'll Learn in This Episode • How entrepreneurs actually get speaking opportunities• Why visibility on social media can lead to speaking invitations• The role relationships and networking play in landing stages• Why referrals often lead to more speaking engagements• How to position yourself as someone event organizers want to invite Visibility Breakdown Michelle explains the three primary ways speakers get booked: Visibility through content — sharing ideas and expertise online Relationships and rooms — conversations and connections at events and communities Referrals — people recommending you after hearing your perspective or seeing you speak When people consistently see your expertise and perspective, they begin associating you with certain topics and inviting you into opportunities. Room Story Michelle shares two real examples of speaking opportunities that came from visibility and relationships. An invitation to speak with Power Table came after someone discovered her ideas on Threads. More recently, sharing her perspective on LinkedIn led to an opportunity to speak at her alma mater, Northern Illinois University. These examples show how opportunities often come from a mix of online visibility and real-world relationships. Unpopular Visibility Truth You don't need a speaker bureau to get on stages. Many speaking opportunities come from people discovering your ideas, experiencing your expertise, and recommending you for opportunities. When your visibility increases, your chances of being invited into rooms and on stages increase as well. Spotify Listener Question Where do you think speaking opportunities come from the most? • Social media visibility• Networking and relationships• Referrals• Speaking at smaller events first Answer directly in Spotify and share your experience.

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Robert Hartmann discuss: Taking ownership of the business of law Building rainmaking skills through empathy and responsiveness Preparing for independence before you need it Networking strategically, not randomly   Key Takeaways: Law school prepares lawyers for doctrine, not for marketing, leadership, or running a practice. Lawyers must take responsibility for learning how to generate work and build a book of business. The safest career path is being able to stand on your own if circumstances change. Empathy, honesty, and fast communication are powerful differentiators in a crowded market. Treating clients and referral sources with care strengthens reputation and repeat business. Soft skills practiced early, especially as an associate, lay the foundation for becoming a future Rainmaker. Every lawyer should be financially and operationally ready to go solo if necessary. That includes savings, strong professional relationships, and clarity around overhead and support systems. Leaving firms well and preserving bridges can turn former employers into future referral sources. Effective networking focuses on finding a small group of true strategic partners, not collecting business cards. Let others speak first, listen well, and align your value to their needs. Consistent systems and intentional follow-through turn relationships into long-term referral engines.   "Everybody has the ability with a few simple soft skills to become a good Rainmaker." —  Robert Hartmann   Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again.   Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

How can technology be used in the fight against modern slavery? This week, Technology Now is exploring the impact of modern slavery and how technology can be used to try and reduce it. We ask what the scale of the problem is today, we examine what modern slavery can look like, and we discuss how organisations and consumers can work together to try and combat this practice. John Schultz, Executive Vice President, Chief Legal and Administrative Officer and Corporate Secretary for HPE, tells us more.This is Technology Now, a weekly show from Hewlett Packard Enterprise. Every week, hosts Michael Bird and Sam Jarrell look at a story that's been making headlines, take a look at the technology behind it, and explain why it matters to organizations.About John:https://www.hpe.com/uk/en/leadership-bios/john-schultz.htmlSources https://www.hpe.com/us/en/newsroom/blog-post/2025/12/when-good-intentions-are-not-enough-the-importance-of-data-and-ai-in-solving-the-modern-slavery-epidemic.htmlhttps://www.hpe.com/uk/en/leadership-bios/john-schultz.html

Key Takeaways Session overview: AI is a transformative technology where security is lagging dangerously behind. Polino's session, "A Guide to Security Roles in AI Transformation (Implementation)," will explore why it's critical for organizations to reassess current roles, controls, and systems and proactively design security strategies specifically for an AI-driven environment. Guardrails: AI systems can be easily manipulated through indirect prompts or parameter framing, making it essential to enforce extremely strict guidelines and access controls to prevent unintended exposure of sensitive data. Exploring security with leaders: Organizations must proactively define security policies and controls for AI now to prevent users from going rogue or turning to shadow IT, because inaction will only amplify risk as sensitive data inevitably leaks into unsecured public AI tools. Event takeaways: Polino notes the importance of events like this because they bridge the knowledge gap between AI leaders and everyday business users by equipping them to understand AI early and effectively transfer that knowledge across their organizations. "AI is coming, whether you want it or not. The goal here is to figure out how to use it appropriately, how to make it as safe as you possibly can, and mitigate those risks inside your organization."
