In this Ask Me Anything, Dwyane and Bob take fan questions on career, mindset, and a few surprises. Dwyane opens up about playing without a meniscus since age 19, multiple knee surgeries, a high pain tolerance, and the intensive leg work his trainers used to keep him on the floor. On killer mentality, he says you’re born with it but it has to be nurtured, and that after retiring he had to go to therapy just to figure out where to put that energy. His favorite championship is 2006, no hesitation, leading the team at 24 and jumping on the scorer’s table to soak it all in, a moment that later inspired a dance for a movie cameo. On recognition, he says the most meaningful respect came from the fear of the guys he played against, and despite missing the 2008 MVP he’s fully at peace with his legacy. He also admits his guilty pleasure movie is Pootie Tang and that he watches Fast and Furious because he likes knowing exactly what’s going to happen. Music Credit: Khari Mateen.

This episode of Sales Reinvented dives deep into the essential do's and don'ts of prospecting and lead generation with advice from three industry trailblazers. I host Bill McCormick, Mary Grothe, and Tony Hughes to help you transform cold outreach into meaningful connections and qualified leads. You'll hear their top do's and don'ts for successful lead generation, compelling real-world sales stories, and get their lessons learned from overcoming challenges in the field. Outline of This Episode [01:49] Nurture prospects on LinkedIn by providing value and insight without pitching [05:05] Navigating lengthy sales processes [08:23] Strategic prospecting and lead generation [12:31] Building lead gen strategy [14:48] Time block prospecting and outbound activities [13:23] Aligning Strategy with your target audience [19:02] Leveraging existing client relationships LinkedIn, Patience, and Nurture Bill discusses the power of leveraging LinkedIn for more than just cold outreach. He recommends connecting with all your clients on the platform to expand your prospecting potential and insists on building a clear ideal-client profile to sharpen your targeting. Nurturing relationships over time—without jumping straight into a pitch—forms the cornerstone of his methodology. On the flip side, he cautions against using impersonal connect-and-pitch tactics, being fixated on closing rather than conversing, and trying to rush prospects through the sales funnel. Patience and persistent value-driven follow-up can turn long sales cycles into lasting business wins. Own Your Pipeline For Mary, successful prospecting begins with actually doing the work and being radically customer-centric. She underscores the importance of authentic, warm messaging—regardless of your outreach medium—and stresses the need for a quantifiable, strategic approach that aligns with your sales goals. Her top don'ts are not to skip prospecting, resort to robotic or spammy tactics, or blame marketing for a lack of leads. Mary's story about refining her own inbound strategy is a great blueprint for adapting messaging and targeting the right persona, showing that retooling your approach based on hard lessons can lead to a stronger, more effective funnel. Time Block, Talk Results, and Embrace Sales Hygiene Tony shares his mantra: time-block and truly execute your outbound efforts. He stresses the need to "nail your narrative" by focusing every conversation on the prospect's world and their opportunities for improved results. Tony warns against the pitfalls of talking only about your own products, making excuses, and skimping on sales processes or CRM practices. His real-life client story illuminates the power of monitoring trigger events and leveraging referrals—not just to secure new business, but to protect and expand existing relationships. By covering account risks and opportunistically following key contacts as they move into new roles, he demonstrates that proactive, value-led prospecting is the fastest route to revenue.

Another packed Business Breakthrough Hotline, with four live callers and two anonymous Confessional questions, each one delivering a lesson that applies far beyond the person who asked it. Kelly coaches a Substack coach through launching a brand-new paid tier (and shares the three-part campaign every launch needs), helps a two-year real estate agent build a follow-up system that actually creates top-of-mind awareness, and talks a recovery coach out of the biggest trap new online founders fall into: trying to build the whole program before selling any of it. Then a working mom gets a real, been-there answer on building a business around a 40-hour job and shared custody, and the show closes with a sharp confessional breakdown on how to connect and convert from stage when you've been told you can't sell.

Sales and marketing are supposed to work together, but in most companies, they don't. Not to the level your revenue actually needs. In this episode, I sat down with Mark Kapczynski, co-founder of Kontrol Media and author of Everyone Sells, to talk about practical, sometimes unconventional ways to get these two teams pulling in the same direction.Why Sales and Marketing Still Don't Work TogetherTraditional marketing was built around brand awareness, not revenue. That history still shapes how a lot of teams operate today.Marketing budgets are getting cut because leadership now expects marketing to prove its impact on revenue, not just visibility.Sales and marketing need to see each other as one team working toward the same goal, not two departments with separate scorecards.Give Sales and Marketing One Shared GoalMost companies still measure marketing on traffic and awareness, while sales is measured strictly on closed revenue.Mark says both teams need a shared goal tied to revenue, whether that's new logos, higher customer lifetime value, or overall revenue growth.Marketing pay structures need to change too. Straight salary with a small year end bonus doesn't give marketers the same stake in closing deals that commission gives salespeople.Meet on the Pipeline Two or Three Times a WeekSales and marketing can't just hand off leads and hope for the best.Mark recommends meeting regularly, two or three times a week, to review the pipeline together.These meetings should cover what made one lead higher quality than another, and what's holding up deals that are stuck.Track the Metrics That Actually MatterCustomer acquisition cost (CAC) and lifetime value (LTV) should be shared numbers between sales and marketing, especially for enterprise deals.Return on ad spend (ROAS) shows whether marketing's paid spend is actually working. Mark looks for four to five times return.Time to close and number of touch points are also worth tracking together.Let Marketing Support the Close, Not Own ItMarketing shouldn't be responsible for closing deals. Contracts, legal terms, and pricing sit outside their lane.But marketing can stay involved right up until the customer gives a verbal yes, supporting the salesperson the whole way.Use What Marketing Is Already Great AtMarketers are natural storytellers. Salespeople tend to be more transactional and want to close fast.Marketing can help build trust and consistency across every touch point, so a prospect hears the same story from sales, marketing, and leadership.Nurturing is another area marketing can own. Not every prospect is ready to buy today, and marketing has the tools and patience to stay engaged until they are.The Big Takeaway: Everyone SellsMark's core message ties back to his book, Everyone Sells. Every person in a company plays a role in the sales process, not just the sales team.When only one department is expected to carry the entire revenue goal, the business underperforms."Sales and marketing are peanut butter and chocolate. They have to work well together, otherwise you just have two silos going two different directions with two sets of goals." — Mark KapczynskiResourcesLearn more about Mark's company, Kontrol Media.Connect with Mark Kapczynski on LinkedIn.Check out Mark's book, Everyone Sells (Including AI): How to Influence Anyone, Anywhere, Anytime.Join our LinkedIn cohort and learn to prospect the right way.Keep track of your sales activity and boost your results with the Prospect Pro sales tool.Step up your sales game with Sales Mastermind.

Depuis le temps que je voulais l'interroger, qu'on parle du BN dans différents épisodes qu'ils soient témoignages ou experts, il était grand temps que Suzanne Colson débarque au micro de Milkshaker et c'est chose faite. Je suis allée la rencontrer chez elle pour qu'elle nous parle du biological nurtering : plus souvent appelé « BN » de son petit nom. Et ce qui est souvent assimilé à une position d'allaitement est en fait bien plus que ça, Suzanne va vous l'expliquer au travers des réponses aux quelques questions que j'avais à lui poser.Pas de technique particulière, pas d'injonctions mais simplement comprendre la physiologie pour ne pas l'entraver. Permettre à tous ces mécanismes qui rendent l'allaitement naturel d'opérer. Pour prolonger ce podcast je ne peux que vous conseiller le livre de Suzanne « l'allaitement instinctif ».Installez-vous bien confortablement comme Suzanne le préconise et préparez-vous à plonger dans le bain d'ocytocine dont vous avez besoin pour allaiter.Je vous souhaite une belle écoute.Charlotte Hébergé par Acast.

There was a time when the premise of nanny robots and artificial intelligence raising our children was merely the subject of Steven Spielberg's futuristic sci-fi films. The future, it seems, is now.rnrnAs AI enters nurseries, playrooms, and classrooms, parents are being sold a "smart" childhood at every turn. With mainstream use of artificial intelligence, the power of parent talk and human interaction in childhood development has become even clearer. In her latest book, Human Raised, author Dana Suskind, MD, reveals the possibilities and perils of using AI and related technologies for child-rearing. What do parents and caregivers need to know to assess individual technologies and foster the skills needed to thrive growing up in an AI-driven future?rnrnDr. Suskind has authored over 45 scientific publications and is a member of the American Academy of Pediatrics and a Fellow for the Council on Early Childhood. She is also the founder and Co-Director of the TMW Center for Early Learning + Public Health, Founding Director of the Pediatric Cochlear Implant Program, and Professor of Surgery and Pediatrics at the University of Chicago. Her previous books include the New York Times bestsellers Parent Nation and Thirty Million Words.
Summer is rolling along, and the Raising Godly Girls Podcast continues a fun week of fan-fave replays! On this Thursday episode originally aired in May 2026, hosts Rachael Culpepper and Natalie Ambrose continue digging deeper on body image and practical ways to instill a healthy approach for our girls today. In a time when cultural messages and marketing language are thrown around 24 hours a day, seven days a week, girls are bombarded by plenty of ways to think about their bodies, but none of it aligns with Scripture. So how can we help our daughters take hold of the messages, strip the lies of their power and urgency, and help girls rest in the Lord content with how He designed their bodies? It's important for girls to understand that trends come and go—and it happens lightning fast these days! So if she's going to chase trends, she will likely always feel like she can never arrive—and she'll have no money! The Bible talks about the eternal beauty of a Godly girl's life that reflects Christ. This gives a more sustainable framework for girls to confidently navigate, trusting that God is working in their hearts no matter what the outward appearance looks like. Finally, the hosts offer a sobering look at how a mom's own baggage with body image can be inadvertently passed down to a daughter without a Scripture-empowered renewed mind. Three Things to Remember: When trends are your girl's measuring stick for beauty, she can be left feeling less-than. Helping your girl weigh the temporary against the eternal will guide her to order beauty in a mature way. Since your girl is watching how you handle your own sense of body image, it's important that we model this for her in Christian maturity. Scriptures Referenced in this Episode: 1 Timothy 4:8 1 Peter 3:4 Romans 12:1-2 Explore more resources to raise girls rooted in Christ at raisinggodlygirls.com.

If you've ever stepped in to “help” your child and realized you might be making things worse, this conversation will hit home. On this episode of The Brainy Moms Podcast, Dr. Amy sits down with Dr. Josh McConkey, an emergency physician, former U.S. Air Force commander, and author of Be the Weight Behind the Spear, to talk about a problem many families feel but can't always name: kids can't build confidence and grit if adults remove every hard moment.We dig into the shift from helicopter parenting to “lawn mower parenting,” why it fuels fear of failure, and how resilience grows when kids are allowed to fail safely. Dr. Amy brings in self-efficacy and the power of the feedback loop after a setback, while Dr. Josh shares how leadership starts at home with small habits like a dinner table family debrief: what went well, what didn't, and what we learned. We also talk about co-regulation, emotional honesty, and how to decide when to step in versus letting natural consequences do their work.You'll hear real-world stories about integrity, accountability, and what it means to take responsibility without slipping into victim mentality. We also explore why face-to-face mentoring through coaches, teachers, volunteering, youth sports, and community service matters more than ever in a screen-heavy world, especially as anxiety and depression rise among kids and teens.If you want practical parenting strategies for raising leaders, teaching accountability, and building resilient kids who can handle real life, press play.

The future our learners build should reflect what matters to them, not just the goals others set for them. We explore what it means to include client voice in future planning through every stage of development, from early choice making to meaningful participation in transition planning and adulthood.We discuss why learner assent, autonomy, and self advocacy should be taught from an early age and how everyday opportunities to communicate preferences help prepare learners for bigger life decisions. We also look at common barriers that can limit participation, including assumptions about communication, caregiver priorities, and time constraints, while sharing practical ways to create more person centered planning.We also talk about balancing family perspectives with learner independence, supporting meaningful communication in all its forms, and focusing on strengths when planning for the future. Whether supporting young children or preparing teens and young adults for adulthood, our goal is to help every learner have a genuine voice in shaping a future that reflects their interests, preferences, and quality of life.What's Inside: Teaching self advocacy and choice making from an early ageSupporting client voice in transition and future planningBalancing family priorities with learner autonomy and strengthsMentioned in This Episode:The Spark: A Mother's Story of Nurturing, Genius, and AutismWhat Color Is Your Parachute?

Have you ever reached the end of the month, looked at your revenue, and thought, "I'm doing everything I'm supposed to be doing. Why isn't this working?" I hear this from women entrepreneurs all the time. You're doing all the marketing things, then you look at your revenue and try not to take your revenue as a personal failure. I've learned there's usually a gap between what we feel is happening in our business and what's actually true. That's where the data helps.

We're celebrating PFN's birthday by shining a light on the partners who have been part of our journey toward people-first leadership, meaningful work, and purpose-driven impact. This special feature from How'd They Do That? with Skot Waldron captures the heart of their work and the shared mission that brings us together. Enjoy! — Selling does not have to feel like selling. Sometimes, the most powerful business development strategy is simply becoming someone people trust, remember, and want to work with. Skot sits down with Tonille Miller, organizational psychologist, management consultant, executive coach, and author, to unpack how she built a thriving consulting and coaching business through authentic relationship-building instead of traditional sales tactics. Tonille shares how curiosity, generosity, and a "co-elevative" mindset helped her grow a powerful network, attract clients organically, and create work that feels aligned rather than forced. For coaches, consultants, and people-first leaders who want to grow their business without feeling sleazy, this conversation is a reminder that value comes first, trust compounds, and the best opportunities often come from the relationships you nurture long before you need them.

Omar Al Shafie, Co-Founder of Teregen Ag digs into regenerative agriculture (pun intended)— specifically how mineralized worm castings and biodynamic farming practices are helping growers rebuild soil health and make their crops more resilient to increasingly volatile weather. We cover what's actually happening at the soil-biology level, how micronutrients play into natural pest resistance, and the practical (and economic) realities farmers face when moving away from conventional methods.I love how this product is not just for farmers, but for backyard growers and house plants. And that farmers who are nervous about not using conventional fertilizers and pesticides can ease into Teregen Ag, and use both - though it's not necessary... I also love that they have a foliar spray, and the vision Omar gives of the veins in the leaves absorbing the nutrients and directing them to the roots and stem to strengthen the plant. He said he can see the plant is more vibrant in just 1 day! You can tell that Omar is excited about this product - and he's been researching for a long time, even before Teregen Ag, so this feels like a perfect pairing..

What future are you asking for with your business? What is it you would like to create? This episode of Choice, Change and Action is an excerpt from Simone Milasas' current Business Done Different class where she talks about getting clear on what it is you desire, and looking at the elements you are avoiding that could actually allow your business to grow and expand. You have to actually take some action and put some work in to build the business. Stop limiting its growth through choices like competition, looking to the past, and making things matter that don't, and start choosing the elements of ease, joy, glory, magic, miracles and chaos. What seeds are you growing that you could be nurturing today? Questions And Tools: "What else can I generate?" "What else is occurring here that I haven't allowed myself to receive?" "If I wasn't competing, what else is available? What else could I be choosing in regards to this?" "What if this didn't matter?" Tools: What is the future you are asking for? What is the future your business is asking for? What else is occurring and what else is showing up that you haven't allowed yourself to receive?

How Are AI-enabled Recruiters Spending Their Time? The recruiter's day used to disappear into Boolean strings, resume scanning, and the futile pursuit of inbox zero. Now that AI has swallowed the repetitive mechanics of talent acquisition, a profound shift is underway. The question is no longer whether artificial intelligence will change recruiting—it is how the best recruiters are redeploying the hours they just won back. Join us for an inside look at the new recruiter operating system. • Building strategic hiring manager partnerships instead of transactional req intake calls • Architecting employer brand narratives and designing candidate experiences that convert • Nurturing passive talent communities with personalized, long-term engagement • Advancing diversity strategy through relationship-driven outreach, not checkbox screening • Delivering real-time market intelligence and competitive talent mapping to leadership • Driving internal mobility and succession planning alongside people operations • Owning high-stakes offer negotiation and candidate closing with emotional intelligence • Optimising the recruitment funnel through data analysis and process design • Providing human coaching and connection throughout the interview journey • Governing AI tools and leading change management within talent acquisition teams AI did not eliminate the recruiter; it elevated the role from talent screener to talent strategist. But that upgrade only happens for teams that know exactly where to focus. If your recruiters are still drowning in administrative drag while competitors build genuine relationships, you are wasting the competitive advantage AI just handed you.

In this episode of the Celebrate Kids podcast, we dive into the importance of fostering a love for reading in children, especially during the summer months. Wayne Stender discovers insights from Dr. Kathy, highlighting research that shows reading is crucial for summer learning and can significantly impact children's reading achievement, particularly for those from low-income families. Recent surveys reveal a concerning decline in the number of kids who read for fun, with only 42% of nine-year-olds and just 17% of 13-year-olds engaging in daily reading. Tune in for practical tips on how families can encourage reading habits and create enjoyable reading experiences together.
Most people come to a wealth manager for one reason: their finances. But what if focusing exclusively on financial wealth is actually making it harder to achieve? Nurturing the various types of wealth (social, physical, mental, time, and financial) is the central idea behind Sahil Bloom's book, The 5 Types of Wealth. In this episode, host Chris Galeski sits down with Wealth Advisor Bruce Tyson to reflect on Bloom's framework. The conversation weaves together philosophy, personal experience, and practical wisdom, including Bruce's own story of losing his home in the Palisades Fire and how decades of intentional relationship building showed up exactly when it mattered most. Key Takeaways Financial wealth is the starting point, not the destination. Focusing exclusively on money at the expense of your health, relationships, and time can make the very life you are building toward feel empty when you arrive. The five types of wealth work together as a system. Social wealth is the one most likely to get sacrificed — and the hardest to rebuild. People who spend years prioritizing work over relationships often retire to find their social circle has quietly disappeared. The time to invest in relationships is before you need them. Curiosity is one of the few things that can permanently raise your baseline happiness. Most achievements — awards, promotions, financial milestones — produce a temporary lift before happiness returns to its baseline. Intellectual curiosity is different. It compounds. Time wealth is what most people are actually trying to buy. The goal of financial planning is not a number. It is control over your time. Understanding that early changes how you save, spend, and make decisions throughout your life. Living within your means is not a limitation — it is a foundation. The pursuit of wealth that exceeds your actual assets is a reliable source of stress. Knowing what is enough, and being honest about it, is one of the most underrated financial decisions a person can make.
In this episode of Hope Prose, Tara continues her personal journey on why she started writing in a conversation with an author who has greatly inspired her own writing journey in recent years through his gentle stories and guidance as an author and teacher. Ethan Joella teaches English and psychology at the University of Delaware, but also shares his time and expertise with nighttime novelists. He lives in the picturesque town of Rehoboth Beach, which Tara may have visited after reading his novel, The Same Bright Stars. Ethan is also the author of A Little Hope, A Read with Jenna Bonus Pick, A Quiet Life, and his soon-to-be-released novel, The Top of the World. Listen in as they talk about Ethan's first unofficial literary agent, why he is drawn to reading and writing stories about beautiful moments within our everyday strains and gains, how he pulls on his poetic side to craft his novels, and his advice to writers about moving on when in a writing rut. You can find out more about Ethan at ethanjoella.com. Tara highly encourages you to check out his entire repertoire, including his newest release, at browseaboutbooks.com in Rehoboth Beach or your local indie bookstore.

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is a Q&A grab bag, packed with the best questions that have come in so far this year. These are the real issues designers are navigating right now, and while some of the questions are too specific to stretch into a full deep dive episode on their own, together they create a powerful, practical conversation.This is the episode to listen to if you want clear direction, language you can use with clients, and smart business moves you can implement this week to protect your time, your profit, and your peace.A major theme you'll hear throughout this Q&A is this: when things get quiet, it is usually easier to create momentum with the relationships you already have than it is to start from zero with strangers. Nurturing current clients, reactivating past clients, and staying connected to referral partners is often the fastest and healthiest path back to a full pipeline.In this episode, we cover:What to do when the phone goes quiet and your pipeline slows down, without spirallingHow to create momentum by nurturing current clients before chasing brand new leadsHow to reactivate past clients in a way that feels confident, not desperateWhat to say when referral partners are your fastest path to new projectsHow to have the tariff and price increase conversation with clarity and credibilityHow to raise prices without losing the client by presenting options and a planHow to respond to the “double dipping” objection and explain your procurement model with confidenceWhy scope creep is often a pricing and process problem, not a client problemHow to create boundaries that actually hold through clearer deliverables, approvals, and revision limitsWhat AI is actually worth your time in a design business, and what to keep off limitsWhy some small firms are quietly closing and what the firms who survive are doing differentlyHow to build a business that does not burn you out, through systems, capacity, and boundariesKey takeawaysSlow seasons are normal, but spiralling is optional. Switch into CEO mode and take strategic action.Your fastest wins often come from the people who already know you: current clients, past clients, and referral partners.Clear communication protects profit. Most client pushback starts where your process is unclear.Procurement is a service. When you explain it like a service, clients stop treating it like a transaction.Scope creep thrives in vague processes. Build fee structures and approvals that prevent it from starting.AI is an assistant, not a decision maker. Use it for drafts and systems, not creative direction or exact details.Burnout is a business model problem, not a personal weakness. Structure creates freedom.Mentioned in the episodeIf you have not embraced AI yet, do not worry. You are not behind, you are just busy. We have a beginner's guide to implementing ChatGPT and Claude available in our shop. It walks you through how to set up your brand voice, set up your bots, and get started using AI in your business in a way that actually makes sense for interior designers.In just one focused hour, we'll dive into whatever you need most—pricing strategies, client management, attracting high-end clients or building repeat business. You'll get clarity, strategy, and expert advice based on my 27+ years of running a thriving, seven-figure design firm.This is your chance to get real answers to the questions you've been dying to ask—from someone who's actually been there.Book your session as you need it—no strings attached.

Along with these roles, I am a writer, textile artist, cook, grandmother and keen walker. Thirty five years ago, I was an early entrant to the world of coaching, after earlier careers in teaching, television production and publishing. Typically, my clients are facing a major transition in their lives and find that a coaching perspective is the key to finding solutions that work. As a coach I work with senior clients in the law, medicine, finance, healthcare, performing arts and media along with volunteer roles for severely disadvantaged women. I consider myself to be a leader in a new approach to coaching which combines insights from psychotherapy with the pragmatic emphasis on change that distinguishes the best coaching traditions.I was honoured to win the Henley Business School Award for Outstanding Contribution to Coaching in 2019. My books include Are You Listening? a book of coaching stories published by Penguin Random House in 2021. I have written 9 other books on coaching, including Coaching Skills: the definitive guide to being a coach. A fifth edition, much updated, was published in 2024. My latest book, Fearless Coaching, will be published in 2026 and a book for women in mid-life (title TBD) in early 2027 by Octopus Books.

What if the reason you're losing business has nothing to do with your service and everything to do with being forgotten? This week we're taking a break from InSights and Take the Stage to bring you a replay of Lunch with Haley, hosted by Brad Smith (Chief Strategy Officer, Haley Marketing). Brad reveals why the staffing firms that consistently win aren't necessarily the best firms. They're simply the ones that stay visible long enough to be there when opportunity strikes. About the Guest Brad Smith is the Chief Strategy Officer at Haley Marketing and a Certified Inbound Marketing professional who has helped hundreds of staffing and recruiting firms implement effective digital marketing strategies. He specializes in translating emerging marketing trends and technologies into practical growth strategies for staffing organizations. Key Takeaways Consistency creates opportunities that luck cannot. The firms that stay visible win more business. Education builds trust faster than selling. Nurturing outperforms persistence alone. Relationships grow when value comes before the ask.

In this powerful message from Genesis 8, we explore the question: Which nature are you nurturing? Noah released both a raven and a dove... but each responded very differently to the world around them. The raven found comfort in death and decay. The dove found no resting place and returned to the safety of the ark. This sermon will challenge you to examine your own heart and ask: What am I allowing my spirit to settle on? What have I become comfortable with? What kind of nature is growing in me? If you've been feeling convicted, stretched, or called deeper in your walk with God, this message is for you. It's a strong reminder that not everything around us is meant to have a place in us. Are we feeding the flesh, or are we nurturing the Spirit of God within us?
