This one is a throwback and it is one of the best stories we have ever had on the show.Joe Johnson spent over a decade inside dealerships across finance, sales, parts, and service before moving to the wholesale distribution side with Tucker Powersports, where he has spent more than a decade training parts staff and partnering with dealers to help them grow. He also hosts the Powersports and People podcast. Relationships are his whole game.In this conversation with Brian Croft, Joe tells the Elvis story, a customer experience lesson from his days running one of the largest Kawasaki dealerships in the country that every salesperson and parts person needs to hear. Then he breaks down the idea box, a simple framework for generating creativity and ideas in a team that feels completely stuck.No fluff. Just real lessons that still hit today.What we cover:How a distributor rep earns the trust to actually train a dealer's staff, and why that trust is a responsibilityJoe's approach to walking into a dealership and finding the real gaps, what he calls getting nosyThe difference between being an asset and being a visitor, and why that distinction mattersThe Elvis story: the customer who walked in looking like he came off the streets and changed how an entire dealership thought about judging peopleWhy 8 out of 10 customers still want to touch and feel a product in the store even after buying onlineThe three things a dealership delivers that an online store never can: customer experience, a source of information, and assurance of the purchaseThe idea box framework explained step by step, the tool Joe uses to generate ideas when a team has noneThe real-world example of how the idea box turned an ordinary laundry hamper into a multi-million dollar businessWhy most dealership meetings fail and what a productive one actually needsTwo books Joe recommends for anyone who wants to think more creativelyWatch on YouTube: ⁠https://youtube.com/@dealershipfixit?si=xGw636a89UUDAK20⁠Connect with Joe Johnson: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/joe-johnson-16b4841a6/⁠Connect with Jacob: ⁠https://linkedin.com/in/jacob-b-berry⁠Follow the Fixit Online: ⁠https://linktr.ee/dealershipfixit⁠MotoHunt for Dealers: ⁠https://dealers.motohunt.com⁠

In this special episode of the Business Breakthrough Podcast, I sit down with Jackie and Kai, the new owners of what was once Haworth Guitars, now reborn as The Basement Unplugged.Haworth Guitars was my family's baby for decades. My dad Phil started building guitars out of our garage in Kiama Downs back in the 80s. I took the business on in my mid-20s, scaled it to multiple stores, a music school, e-commerce, and a 70K+ Instagram following before selling it in 2024. Now, a few years on, Jackie and Kai have stepped in to write the next chapter, and they're absolutely smashing it.We unpack:How a vision board literally manifested this business into their handsWhy Kai (a young muso building bass guitars) saw the opportunity nobody else didThe mother-and-son dynamic of running a business togetherWhy they're doubling down on local community, face-to-face experience, and the "rockstar moment" instead of chasing onlineThe shift happening in retail right now and why "come in, jam, and feel it" beats "click and ship"Their plans to bring music, events, and culture back to the Illawarra music scene

Everyone is talking about how to practice detachment right now and most of it is being taught completely wrong: "Stop checking his Instagram. Stop refreshing your Stripe account at 2am. Let it go and it will come."So let's talk about the real law of detachment. Practicing detachment is not about a morning routine, a journal prompt or a breathing exercise you perform until the universe rewards you. The real detachment lives at a subconscious level, and until you detach from the outcome at that depth, you will keep repelling the very thing you are reaching for.And nowhere is this more obvious than in your business. I am pulling the curtain back on why your content, your launches and your quiet weeks feel so heavy right now, and what is actually happening underneath when you cannot detach from the outcome.And to show you exactly what this looks like in real life, I am taking you back to 2022, the wedding where I met Jack (now my fiancé and father of our daughter Ivy), too many Pornstar Martinis, the weird hair, the Eiffel Tower moment, and the EastEnders level drama that followed.If you have been trying to perform detachment instead of becoming it, this one is going to land.Topics covered on How to Practice Detachment:Why the mainstream version of detachment practice is being taught completely wrongWhat the real law of detachment looks like at a subconscious level, versus the performative version everyone is selling onlineThe difference between wanting something from internal certainty and wanting it from "I will only be okay when this arrives"The full story of how I met Jack at the wedding in 2022 and the subconscious reprogramming that had already happened before I walked inHow to actually detach from the outcome without pretending you do not care about itConnect with Rebecca Haydon:Apply to work with meThe Subconscious MembershipCome say hi on Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeRelated episodes you may enjoy:100.

In today's episode, we sat down with Dr. Sarah Court and Laurel Beversdorf from Movement Logic to chat about the explosion of wellness misinformation online, how social media rewards extreme messaging, most importantly… how to spot a grifter.We also dug into the rise of the “doctor brand” phenomenon - when evidence-based professionals slowly shift from nuanced education into rigid, marketable protocols designed to sell supplements, programs, and fear. From lifting heavy for bone density to cortisol fearmongering to the obsession with “hacks,” this conversation breaks down what the research actually says, how to spot red flags online, and why consistency with the boring basics still matters more than any quick fix.“If you're behaving like a scientist or a clinician or a doctor, when the evidence changes, which it does because science is always changing, you also update your message.”- Dr. Sarah Court“Doctor brands will cherry pick one study from thousands of others.”- Laurel BeversdorfThis week on Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck:How to recognize when a doctor or expert has become a “brand”Why wellness misinformation spreads so quickly onlineThe problem with fear-based fitness and hormone messagingWhat “lifting heavy” actually means in strength trainingWhy moderate weights can still build muscle and bone densityHow social media fuels perfectionism and all-or-nothing thinkingThe emotional appeal of quick fixes, protocols, and “secret” solutionsWhy the boring basics of fitness and nutrition still work best Connect with Movement Logic: Movement Logic on InstagramThe Movement Logic WebsiteMovement Logic Podcast on SpotifyMovement Logic Podcast on Apple PodcastsThanks for tuning in to this week's episode of Capable & Worthy: Fitness, Nutrition, and Mindset for People Who Don't Want Life to Suck, where we challenge the common understanding of what it means and what it takes to be fit and healthy!

What does it actually look like to market your work… without losing your humanity?In today's episode of Selling the Couch, I'm joined by Shayna Vance Roman to explore a powerful and often overlooked idea: human-centric marketing—and how to apply it in a way that feels grounded, ethical, and aligned.If you've ever felt uncomfortable with marketing… overwhelmed by social media… or unsure how to grow your practice without becoming someone you're not, this conversation is for you.In this episode, we explore:What human-centric marketing really means (and why it matters more than ever)Why marketing can start to feel “transactional” instead of relationalThe tension between running a business and staying values-drivenThe rise of therapist influencers, audience growth, and revenue pressureHow to create content that feels authentic, not performativePractical ways to build connection, compassion, and trust onlineThe role of AI in marketing and how to use it without losing your voiceWhy “less but better” content may be the futureA few key takeaways:People aren't just “clients” or “data points”, they're humans navigating real strugglesYour website, social media, and content should meet people where they areYou don't need to post constantly (consistency ≠ overproduction)The goal of marketing isn't just visibility, it's trust and connectionAt the end of the day… Marketing isn't about getting more people in the door.It's about helping the right people feel seen, safe, and supported, before they ever reach out.--RESOURCES Connect with Shayna:

Are men ashamed of their porn habits?The majority of men consume porn, and most use it for masturbation, but two thirds of men under 25 think porn should be harder to access, according to research from the Survey Center on American Life. There's a broader discussion now among some men about the role of porn and masturbation in their lives – and manosphere figures like Andrew Tate and Hamza Ahmed are urging their listeners to stop watching it. Some men are cutting it out entirely: they congregate on Reddit pages like r/pornfree or use porn addiction alleviation apps like Quittr and Fortify. But what do men think watching porn says about them? And is this just “purity culture for boys”? Brittany is joined by Rebecca Jennings, features writer at New York Magazine who wrote a piece about anti-porn men, and Scott Burnett, assistant professor of African Studies and Women's Gender and Sexuality Studies at Penn State University, who has published research about men's anti-masturbation trends. For more episodes about gender, sexuality, and internet culture, check out:The price women pay for being onlineThe joy of breaking up with dating appsGen Z is afraid of sex — and for good reasonSupport Public Media.

“My family thinks I'm crazy”… but what if you're just asking the right questions?In this episode of Nephilim Death Squad, Raven and TopLobsta sit down with Mark Steeves, host of the My Family Thinks I'm Crazy podcast, to talk about what it's like living on the edge of alternative research, conspiracy culture, and spiritual curiosity—especially when the people closest to you don't understand it.Mark shares his journey into podcasting, how his show grew out of questioning mainstream narratives, and the real-life consequences of going down rabbit holes that most people avoid. The conversation explores the tension between truth-seeking and maintaining relationships, and how many people exploring these topics end up feeling isolated from family and friends.The episode also dives into:Why people get labeled as “crazy” for questioning narrativesThe origin and growth of the My Family Thinks I'm Crazy podcastNavigating family dynamics while researching conspiracies and the paranormalBuilding community through podcasting and alternative mediaThe overlap between spiritual curiosity, conspiracy research, and personal identityHumor as a coping mechanism when your worldview doesn't match everyone else'sBlending humor with real talk, this episode captures what it's like to live in two worlds at once—the everyday world, and the one where you start questioning everything.

From brain development and emotional regulation to family dynamics and social comparison, they unpack what we are seeing clinically and culturally when it comes to screen use.This conversation is not about blame or fear. It is about awareness. Screens are part of modern life. The goal is not elimination, but intentional engagement.In This Episode We DiscussWhy this series matters and what to expect this monthThe rapid evolution of technology and its impact on familiesHow screens affect the brain, especially attention and novelty-seekingThe role of dopamine and fast reward cyclesEmotional regulation and using screens to cope with boredom or stressThe shift from shared family screens to personalized devicesSocial development in the digital ageSocial media, comparison, and rising anxiety and depression in teensThe unique pressures facing girls and boys onlineThe relational cost of constant device useWhy small, intentional changes matterKey TakeawaysAwareness comes before change.Screens are not inherently evil, but they are powerful.Emotional regulation, sleep, focus, and relationships can all be affected by excessive or unintentional screen useIt is never too late to make small, meaningful shifts.Resources discussed:The Anxious Generation: How the Great Rewiring of Childhood Is Causing an Epidemic of Mental Illness by Jonathan Haidt (link)Gen Z Mental Health and Wellbeing e-book (link)Thank you for spending this time with us.

If you work in conversion optimization, user experience design, or design leadership, you probably think of these as separate disciplines. Different skill sets, different tools, different conversations.But treating them as separate is precisely what limits your impact.These three areas are deeply interconnected, and they build on top of one another in ways that make each more effective. If you're only working in one of these areas without considering the others, you're solving the wrong problems, or at best, only solving part of the right problem.I know this because my work spans all three, which makes me sound like I'm either a confused generalist or cobbling together random consulting gigs.People often ask what I actually do, because it doesn't fit neatly into a single box. When I list the three areas, I can see the confusion on their faces. I sometimes feel like that conspiracy theorist from the meme, standing in front of a pin board covered in red string, ranting about how it's all connected.But it is all connected. And if you work in any of these fields, you should be taking this holistic, interconnected approach as well.Let me walk you through how this actually works in practice, and why you should be thinking this way too.It starts with conversionUltimately, the goal of almost every project I take on is to improve a company's conversion rate through their website or app. Sometimes that means acquiring new customers, sometimes it means retaining existing ones, but the end goal is always the same: make the company more profitable through digital channels.In straightforward cases, I can achieve that with traditional conversion optimization techniques:A/B testingInterface design improvementsRefined copy and messagingThese are the tools you'd expect from anyone doing CRO work, and often they're enough to move the needle.But more often than I'd like to admit, those surface-level fixes aren't sufficient. The conversion problem runs deeper than a poorly worded call-to-action or a confusing checkout flow. When that happens, I need to look at the entire user experience, which means examining usability issues, carrying out proper user research, mapping out all the other touchpoints where customers interact with the brand, and understanding the full journey they're on.That's where the user experience design and strategy work comes into play.When UX goes beyond the screenHowever, sometimes even comprehensive user experience work isn't enough, because the real problems exist beyond the screen entirely.I once worked with a company that sold frozen ready meals to elderly customers. They wanted me to improve their website conversion rates, which seemed like a straightforward brief. We carried out user research and discovered that the elderly audience was nervous about multiple aspects of the experience, none of which had anything to do with the website design itself:Entering credit card details online because of fraud and scamsA strange delivery driver they didn't know turning up at their houseUnloading heavy trays of frozen products into their freezersNow, in most companies, a user experience designer would hit a wall at this point. You can't redesign a website to make someone feel safer about delivery drivers or less anxious about lifting heavy boxes. The best you could do would be to make the existing service as palatable as possible through clever messaging and reassurance copy.But in a company with a strong culture of design leadership, a UX designer can be instrumental in shaping solutions to these kinds of problems. Solutions that go way beyond polishing existing products to fundamentally reshaping the service itself.This is where the design leadership coaching aspect of my work becomes essential.Design leadership changes what's possibleIn that frozen meal company, we didn't just optimize the website. We fundamentally changed the offering based on what we learned from users:Customers got the same delivery driver every time, and when that wasn't possible, they'd be notified in advance and shown a photo of their driverAll drivers were police-checked so customers could feel confident about safetyThe driver didn't just dump the products and leave but actually unpacked everything into the customer's freezerCustomers could even reorder directly from their driver if they didn't want to use the website and enter card details onlineThe user experience shaped the product, and by extension, delivered the improved conversion rate the client originally asked for.You can see how these three areas that appear unrelated are actually deeply entwined. This interconnected approach is much more representative of what real user experience design should be about, rather than just pushing pixels around a screen.What this means for your workIf you're working in conversion optimization: Start asking deeper questions about the user experience.If you're doing UX work: Understand how it connects to business outcomes and conversion.If you're in design leadership: Recognize that your influence should extend beyond the screen to reshape products and services based on what users actually need.Because at the end of the day, conversion optimization teaches you what matters to the business, user experience design teaches you what matters to customers, and design leadership gives you the organizational influence to actually do something meaningful about both.And once you start seeing those connections, you can't unsee them.If you're thinking about how to bring these different elements together in your own work, drop me an email. I'm always happy to chat it through.

Showing up online can feel exhausting when you're doing all the “right” things and still not seeing traction. In this episode, I'm unpacking one of the biggest questions I hear from property managers and business owners right now: should you be building a corporate brand or a personal brand? With social platforms more crowded than ever, visibility isn't about being louder or more polished – it's about being more human, more intentional, and more connected.I break down why personal brands create stronger trust, deeper relationships, and warmer conversations than business pages alone. We talk about how showing the person behind the brand actually strengthens your business, not undermines it, and why clarity, consistency, and lived experience are your biggest differentiators online. This isn't about becoming an influencer or oversharing your life – it's about being known for what you stand for and how you think.This episode is an equal parts mindset shift and practical guidance for anyone who wants to grow their business without burning out or hiding behind a logo. Whether you're a property manager, leader, or agency owner, this conversation will help you rethink how you show up, what you want to be known for, and how to build trust in a digital world that's craving real leadership. ”People don't connect with businesses.

Sadly I cannot respond directly to your text, so please Email me!/////RE-RELEASE/////If you've ever been curious about cuckolding, confused by what it actually is (and isn't), or overwhelmed by the way the internet and porn portray it — this episode is for you. In this conversation, my subbie and I sit down and really talk through cuckolding from a lived-experience perspective, not a fantasy script.We break down definitions, origins, psychology, jealousy, compersion, humiliation, communication, and why so many people are turned on by the idea… but struggle with the reality.This isn't an episode about convincing you to try anything. It's about understanding, slowing down, and figuring out what actually works for your relationship — not someone else's meme.What We Cover in This EpisodeWhat cuckolding actually means in modern relationshipsThe historical and linguistic origin of the word “cuckold”Why cuckolding is one of the most searched fantasies onlineThe difference between fantasy cuckolding and real-life cuckoldingJealousy vs. compersion — and why this dynamic will not work for everyoneThe humiliation and submission aspects (and how they differ emotionally)Why communication is the real foundation — not sexHow porn and social media distort expectationsWhy you should never try to “convince” your partner into kinkPractical, low-risk ways couples can explore curiosity without jumping inRespecting third parties as real humans, not propsWhy your primary relationship must always stay the priorityReal Talk from MeI say this clearly in the episode, and I'll say it again here:Cuckolding, chastity, FLR, swinging — none of these are required to have a strong relationship.This dynamic only works when:both partners feel safeboth partners communicate openlyjealousy is acknowledged (not ignored)consent is ongoing, enthusiastic, and reversibleIf you're a jealous person, that doesn't make you broken.It just means this may not be for you — and that's okay.Fantasy vs. Support the showHelp Support The Show? https://www.krystinekellogg.com/ Email Me!

This week on Everything Is the Best, I sit down with Crappy Childhood Fairy—aka Anna Runkle—to talk about practical recovery for adults who grew up with chaos, neglect, or inconsistency. We get specific about how trauma shows up in daily life (overreacting, shutdowns, people-pleasing, money and relationship spirals) and how to interrupt those patterns with simple, repeatable tools.Anna—an Oakland resident and Berkeley native—has shown people how to heal symptoms of childhood trauma for nearly thirty years. Known to more than a million followers across platforms (including ~929K YouTube subscribers and 78M+ views), she's a survivor herself, and her methods are changing lives every day.We also dive into her forthcoming book, CONNECTABILITY: Heal the Hidden Ways You Isolate, Find Your People, and Feel (At Last) Like You Belong (Hay House; October 7, 2025). Anna explains why a haunting sense of disconnection is an almost universal adult symptom of childhood trauma (and increasingly common even for those with “normal” childhoods), and how to rebuild connection with clear, doable practices.You'll learn:A plain-language framework for nervous system dysregulation—and how to come back onlineThe two-part daily practice (brief writing + short meditation) to reduce reactivity in under 20 minutesHow to spot “trauma time,” respond to triggers (yes, even unanswered texts), and choose self-compassion over withdrawalScripts and boundaries to rebuild trust, navigate conflict, and “read the room” without shameWhy consistency—not perfection—creates the conditions for real connectionAbout the book:In Connectability, Anna offers research-backed lessons, self-reflection prompts, and daily connection plans to help you: notice early signs of dysregulation, lean into healthy vulnerability, set confident boundaries, master the art of apologizing, and build the kind of close, reliable relationships that support lifelong well-being. It's a hopeful, practical path for anyone who struggles with people—whether you have a trauma history or simply carry old connection wounds in a lonely era.Produced by Dear MediaSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this essential episode, Drew and Josh are joined by Dr. Birthe Macdonald, a psychologist and neuroscience researcher who's become a vital voice in combating mental health misinformation on social media. The conversation tackles the overwhelming sea of questionable advice that anxious people encounter online, from vagus nerve stimulation devices to "nervous system regulation" quick fixes.Dr. Macdonald shares her journey from neuroscience researcher to science communicator, sparked by sponsored ads for electrical vagus nerve stimulators that made bold claims without solid evidence. The trio explores why these pseudoscientific approaches are particularly appealing to people struggling with anxiety disorders – and why they can actually be harmful.Key topics include:The dangerous appeal of "one thing" solutions that promise instant reliefWhy sponsored vagus nerve stimulation devices and similar products exploit vulnerable peopleHow social media algorithms amplify misinformation while evidence-based content gets overlookedRed flags to watch for when consuming mental health content onlineThe difference between what we know about how the brain works versus being able to "work" the brain directlyWhy ChatGPT and AI can become problematic reassurance-seeking tools for people with anxietyHow to become a more critical consumer of pop psychology contentThe conversation doesn't dismiss that some techniques may provide temporary relief, but emphasizes understanding why they work (often through distraction rather than magical nervous system manipulation) and recognizing when they become compulsive behaviors that maintain anxiety in the long run.This episode serves as both a reality check and a guide for navigating the complex landscape of mental health information online, helping listeners distinguish between evidence-based approaches and appealing but potentially harmful quick fixes.Find Birthe Online:https://www.instagram.com/dr.birthe.macdonald/https://www.birthemacdonald.comhttps://substack.com/@drbirthemacdonald---Disordered Roundtables are here!
