In this episode, Renée and Brandon join Nick Hall, founder of Pulse, to dismantle the stereotypes of street-corner evangelism and reimagine what sharing faith looks like in 2026. While acknowledging that transactional, "sales-pitch" methods may be losing steam, Hall argues that the office of the evangelist is more vital than ever, particularly for a Gen Z demographic that craves raw authenticity over polished production. The conversation highlights a surprising spiritual hunger in the current cultural moment and challenges church leaders to reintegrate the evangelist's voice into their teams—shifting the focus from fighting culture wars to genuinely loving neighbors and normalizing conversations about Jesus just as we would any other passion.

John Cofrancesco, the founder of American AI Logistics, joins Defense & Aerospace Report Editor Vago Muradian to discuss the biggest challenges to the defense supply chain and how artificial intelligence combined with thoughtful policy changes can help the Pentagon shape stockpiles of systems and parts that will be in highest demand well ahead of a conflict.

Moving Away From ComplexityLeaders Make It Better "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 (ESV) What is the purpose of pruning… that less… produces more As organizations, ministries, leaders grow, so does complexity. However, complexity is not a necessity. Great leaders make things better—not by adding more, but by doing less, better. As I write this, SpaceX launched its first rocket of the year early this morning. Last year set a record for the number of launches, and this year is already on track to surpass it. SpaceX has pioneered lower-cost rockets that not only launch but return safely to Earth—a concept that was considered impossible just a few years ago. But a team of the best engineers on the planet, paired with a visionary leader willing to attempt the unthinkable, proved the doubters wrong. I recently saw Elon Musk post a picture showing the evolution of their Raptor rocket engines. These engines are ultimately designed to carry humanity to Mars. But to me, the true marvel lies in how each version has been refined. Raptor 1 looked like a tangled mess of wires, tubes, and complexity. It worked, but it was difficult to build, maintain, and reproduce. Raptor 2 was a major step forward—cleaner, more streamlined, and a genuine engineering breakthrough. Yet, the team didn't stop there. Raptor 3, the latest version, is elegant in its simplicity. It's powerful, efficient, and ruthlessly refined— the result of hundreds of intentional decisions to remove what didn't belong and simplify what remained. Elon Musk's team didn't arrive here by accident. They followed a radical but effective design philosophy. "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise. Delete it. Simplify. Optimize. Accelerate. Only then do you automate." This isn't just how you build rockets; it's a masterclass in leading toward simplicity. When I arrived at Grace eight years ago, we found over 50 separate ministries operating under the banner of the church. Most were siloed, competing with one another for resources and attention. We made the intentional decision to move from 50 things to four. It was a deliberate shift away from complexity. It's a timeless problem. As organizations grow, complexity inevitably creeps in. Often, it's not bad things, it's good things that no longer serve the mission. Sacred cows. Outdated processes. Organizational comfort zones. If we don't intentionally prune them, we'll never move with the power and speed the Spirit desires. Remember the words of Jesus: "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 What Space X Can Teach Leaders 1. Question Everything "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise." As leaders, it's our responsibility to question every process, system, and program we engage with. We should consistently ask, "Does this serve the mission?"—until we can either validate it or eliminate it. Why do we hold this meeting? How many of these programs are truly necessary? Can one person do this instead of two? Can this leader handle more responsibility? Why does it take three classes and three months to move someone toward membership? How hard is it to onboard new leaders? Why are we using more than one communication platform? Just because something worked in a past move of God doesn't mean it belongs in the next. 2. Delete, Delete, Delete You can't simplify clutter. Before you simplify, you must eliminate. Craig Groeschel challenges his leaders to keep a "stop doing list" alongside their "to-do list." It's logical—you can't add something new until you remove something old. This year, we made the decision to eliminate our Midweek Fire service to make room for the mission. We asked: Why do we need two weekly services focused on awakening—especially when Sunday is already our strongest and most effective service for that purpose? By removing the Wednesday service, we created space and opportunity for more Grace Groups to meet on campus. That shift better aligns with our vision to train and send. What weekly or monthly meeting can be eliminated or consolidated? What process or system could lose a step or two? What volunteer or leader could be repositioned or reallocated? I promise, you can do more than you think, with less than you think you need. Eliminate what no longer helps people discover life in all its fullness. 3. Clarify What Remains Once something is stripped down to its essential parts, you must then clarify it. Every program, system, activity needs a clear and identifiable win. Every leader needs a clear and simple expectation. Clarity is essential for both mission and movement. What is the win for our Sunday service? What's the expectation for Next Steps? What's the goal of your weekly connection points? What's the purpose of your one-on-one meetings? "Write the vision; make it plain… so that he may run who reads it." (Habakkuk 2:2) Clarity empowers people to run with vision. 4. Accelerate Timeframes What is your big, bold goal for this year? What if you accelerated your timeframe? Instead of going for it slowly over the year, what if you hit it hard for 90 days? Chances are you will not make it… but what if you do? Or how much further will you be along the journey because you accelerated? When you move swiftly and quickly, it might be messy, but it could also be more missional! Remember, the Acts church moved fast because they trusted the Spirit and empowered people. So can we. 5. Automate Last I love automation. This is where systems and programs operate without your constant intervention. However The temptation is to automate first. However if you automate while there is still clutter you will only create confusion. This is why automation is the last step. Today there is a wealth of tools and resources that can steam-line processes, automate tasks and communications. Before you lock them in… make sure that the process has been perfected. Leaders Make It Better This is one of Grace World's 5 Core Leadership Behaviors: Leaders Make It Better. It means we leave things better than we found them. We don't settle for "this is how we've always done it." We treat "it is what it is" like a curse word. We question everything. We eliminate what's unnecessary. We clarify constantly. We move at the speed of the Spirit. And we multiply what matters. As leaders, we take initiative to clear obstacles. We don't wait for someone else to do it. Questions 1. What is one area in your ministry you can simplify this week to make it better? 2. What is a system, step, or sacred cow that needs to be challenged? 3. Where have you settled for the status quo instead of stewarding revival? "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life… so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." – 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 Follow Up Questions What is on thing you will STOP doing in the next 30 days? What is one thing you need to SIMIPLIFY in your life immediately? What is one BIG BOLD goal you can SPEED up?

Hello to you listening in Mountain View, California!Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Motivate Your Monday and your host, Diane Wyzga.  Hand on heart: I can still behave like an over-stretched, over-committed, dutiful, responsible, and driven first-born daughter. Do it right or don't do it at all.Maybe like me you find yourself doing it all wrong by trying to do it all right. We have these notions--born of long-ago outdated, outmoded stories--about what we're supposed to do, have, create, earn, market, publish, reconfigure, reorganize, envision, and connect. But I can't and I don't want to do it all perfectly. I want to Be rather messy in my life.  Practical Tip: Let's stop for a moment. How would it feel if we “should” less on our own good selves? What if - even for a moment - we invite the power of the pause, peace and space. Did you just breathe a deep sigh of relief? Perhaps drop your shoulders? Maybe even smile at your silly human self? Me, too. You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!"

In this message we will look at what the Scriptures have to say about marriage, analyze concerns and questions raised in our day, overview the cultural changes that have led to many questioning the value and benefit of marriage, and do so from a Christian worldview. We will also take a look at some secular contemporary research and what it indicates. Common Reactions:     1.    The culture has changed:     - Married Couples comprised:             1950 — 78% of all US households             2020 — 47% of all US households     - Living together before marriage:             1960's — 5%             2020's — 70%     - Recent analysis of the General Social Survey data tells us Americans' happiness declined from the 1970s to the 2020s. Sam Peltzman, Professor emeritus, University of Chicago says one thing explains the most recent decline in overall happiness - the decline of marriage.  The data indicates the benefit of what the Bible has said all along. Genesis 2:18 "The Lord God said, "It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him." The literal Hebrew translation for the word helper is:  "Helper equal to Him." This is talking about two people who are complimentary to each other. Our Creator recognized we function better together.     2.    Divorce makes me fear marriage:     - the spike in divorce rate have left an impression on the generation raised in one parent households.     3.    Why not just live together?     - the Bible tells us to be faithful before and after marriage to our spouse.     - Couples who live together:         4-5 times more likely to break up than married couples         more likely to divorce once they do marry (by about 50%)         higher incidence of alcohol abuse, drug abuse and domestic violence     4.    How can I know the right one? "Fall in like before you fall in love." This means - find an individual who is like minded, who shares your faith, your values, your outlook on life, an individual who truly is a potential soulmate. Make sure that the person you choose as your life partner and spouse is one who holds like values and believes as you do.     5.    I'm not sure marriage is for me: One does not need to feel pushed into marriage. In 1 Corinthians 7:7 Paul refers to the gift of celibacy saying, "I wish that all of you were as I am. But each of you has your own gift from God; one has this gift, another has that." God does not say everyone is to be married.  Contemporary Research: 2 books     ⁃    "The Two-Parent Privilege" by Melissa S. Kearney Professor of Economics, University of Maryland 2023 - tells us that "Americans stopped getting married and started falling behind." Her work has been printed in:     Wall Street Journal     New York Times     National Review      Atlantic Magazine She offers a "provocative, data-driven case for marriage by showing how the institution's decline has led to a host of economic woes…"  She shows how children do better in a family where their parents are married to each other.     ⁃    Education outcomes     ⁃    Physical and mental health     ⁃    Diminishes suicide possibility     ⁃    Serves as a barrier to alcohol and drug use and child abuse     ⁃    Impacts Teenage pregnancy and delinquency She comes at this on the basis of solid economic data and what we can see happening in our culture today.     ⁃    "Get Married" by Brad Wilcox Professor Sociology, University of Virginia 2024. Also published in the following:     ⁃    Wall Street Journal     ⁃    New York Times     ⁃    National Review     ⁃    Atlantic Magazine Wilcox tells us, "When it comes to predicting overall happiness, a good marriage is far more important than how much education you get, how much money you make, how often you have sex and even how satisfied you are with your work."    Pastor concludes with these thoughts: God created us, He speaks because He knows us and wants what is best for us. God invented marriage and He gives us guidance on how to have a truly blessed and God-pleasing marriage. Malachi 2:15 says, "Has not the one God made you? You belong to him in body and spirit. And what does the one God seek? Godly offspring. So be on your guard, and do not be unfaithful to the wife of your youth."  Those are powerful, spirit-given words that we need to take to heart Now What?

There's a reason growth feels harder now than it did a few years ago. The market changed, but a lot of the advice didn't.Some guidance that once helped gyms survive is now quietly limiting how far they can go.Welcome to Gym Marketing Made Simple — the podcast designed to cut through the noise around gym growth. Each conversation breaks marketing, sales, and leadership down into practical systems boutique gyms can actually apply, without relying on luck, burnout, or outdated playbooks.Episode HighlightsIn today's episode, the conversation takes a hard look at why so many boutique gyms struggle to scale and how outdated mentorship advice plays a major role. The discussion challenges the long-standing belief that paid ads are unnecessary or risky, especially when the most successful fitness brands invest heavily in marketing. This episode reframes marketing as a requirement for modern gym growth, not an optional add-on.Episode OutlineWhy many mentorship companies discourage paid ads—and where that advice falls apart.How major franchises like Orange Theory and F45 actually approach marketing spend.The danger of staying loyal to advice that no longer matches the market.When “fundamentals first” becomes a ceiling instead of a foundation.Why bring-a-friend promos can't replace consistent marketing systems.How professionalism and perception influence buying decisions.The importance of predictable marketing instead of reactive tactics.Recognizing when it's time to find more advanced guidance.Episode Chapters00:00 Intro00:05 Marketing Strategies for Boutique Fitness Gyms04:06 Challenges with Mentorship Companies' Advice07:23 The Importance of Paid Ads and Marketing Investments07:38 Strategic Planning for Gym Owners23:31 The Role of Marketing in Gym Growth23:44 The Impact of Marketing on Gym SuccessAction TakenRe-evaluate current marketing advice and where it's coming from.Look at what successful gyms are doing, not just what's being recommended.Clarify long-term goals: exit, expansion, or sustainability.Start treating marketing as an investment, not an expense.Track numbers and make decisions based on data, not opinionConclusionWhat holds many gym owners back isn't a lack of effort or commitment—it's staying tied to advice that no longer matches the reality of today's market. As competition increases and consumer expectations shift, the margin for outdated thinking gets smaller. This episode challenges gym owners to step back, question long-held assumptions, and make decisions based on where the industry is now, not where it used to be.CTAIf this conversation hit close to home, take time to reassess the marketing systems currently in place and compare them to what thriving gyms are actually doing today.Supporting Information

That was the advanced technology of the time. That's antiquated and we need to change our educational system to fit today's needs, today's workers, to today's businesses." "We need to go back to prioritizing trade schools and trade certificates in high school so that when we graduate our high school seniors, they are prepared. They are workforce ready and prepared for life and prepared to be full members of society." "Pushing everyone to college is not an option that we should be waiting around for as the best option. There are definitely professions where a college degree is necessary, but it's not necessary for everyone. Most students, if given a real alternative that allows them to contribute to society and pay their bills, would choose that path. We need to give them that option." "Challenges are there to shine a light on your powers. No superhero ever became a superhero without overcoming a great challenge." "Life is happening for you, not to you. And so look at your challenges, look at any negative thing that's happening in your life and see how it could turn out for your good, see how it could be actually a blessing in disguise."

The insured felt like she did everything right. She insured the ring when she bought it, kept it scheduled on her policy, kept up with maintenance, and filed a claim right away when it was stolen. She even submitted the original appraisal for $22,000 so the insurance company would know how much to write on the check. So she was shocked when the insurance payout was only $14,000. Apparently diamonds are cheaper today, but she thinks: "shouldn't the appraisal lock in the cost?"   Notable Timestamps [ 00:45 ] - An insured may assume an appraisal amount guarantees payout, but jewelry claims often hinge on policy type and current replacement cost, not the dollar figure listed on the appraisal. [ 02:00 ] - Jewelry appraisals lack a single governing standard; credentials vary widely, making it critical for carriers to evaluate who prepared the appraisal and whether it meets insurer expectations. [ 04:20 ] - Premiums may be based on a scheduled value, yet replacement cost policies aim to restore the item itself, which can result in payouts lower or higher than the original appraisal. [ 06:10 ] - Clear communication from agents and adjusters about agreed value versus replacement cost policies can prevent frustration and disputes when a jewelry claim is settled. [ 08:10 ] - Replacement cost focuses on replicating the exact item—cut, color, clarity, and materials rather than paying the appraisal number, which can change with market conditions. [ 09:30 ] - It is the insured's responsibility to keep appraisals updated; insurers do not automatically adjust jewelry values for inflation or market shifts in metals and gemstones. [ 11:40 ] - Outdated or inflated appraisals can create claim friction, while modern update tools and reminders help carriers reduce underinsurance and improve customer satisfaction. [ 14:45 ] - Early education about policy limits, valuation methods, and appraisal updates builds trust, supports smoother claims handling, and leads to a more positive claims experience.

Remember Trading Places (1983), starring Eddie Murphy, Dan Aykroyd, and Jamie Lee Curtis? We had practically forgotten all about this early-'80s comedy, but even the trailer promises a whole lot of political incorrectness, and we couldn't be more excited. We remember it being hilarious, but has time been kind to this comical social commentary, or has it curdled into an outdated relic? Either way, we're all in.

1/8/26 - In a culture that relentlessly pushes confusion about love, sex, and identity, many young people are left wounded, disoriented, and searching for meaning. National speaker and author Pam Stenzel calls young people back to God's original design for love, sexuality, and the human person. Drawing from decades of experience speaking to teens and young adults across the country, Pam addresses the real-world consequences of the sexual revolution, the false promises of hookup culture, and why chastity is not repression, but freedom. With clarity, compassion, and conviction, she explains how sexual integrity protects the dignity of the person, strengthens authentic relationships, and prepares young people for lifelong love. Pam challenges parents, educators, and youth alike to reject cultural lies and rediscover the beauty and purpose of God's plan for sexuality.

Status, income, respect, yet something still feels off. In this episode, Gary explains why so many successful lawyers feel anxious, dissatisfied, or burned out despite “winning,” and why the problem isn't our mindset, rather it's our outdated mental operating system. There are four law school programs still running in our brain and they cost us our health, relationships, and performance. Listen for how perfectionism, external validation, scarcity thinking, and binary decision-making quietly sabotage sustainable success for lawyers.

We talk about why some problems can't be solved with a simple wedge product, how to sequence engineering, compliance, and distribution, and what it takes to operate inside complexity for years before the market catches up. Ben shares the early customer discovery work, the “science experiments” that shaped April's product, and the cultural frameworks he and his co-founder developed before they wrote any code. If you're an early-stage founder deciding what to build — or how to build it — this episode offers a clear playbook for choosing hard problems and de-risking them the right way.

Episode Summary: In this episode of Dental Drill Bits, Sandy Pardue and Dana Salisbury explore the often-overlooked power of a well-crafted job description. They explain why generic or outdated descriptions can set your practice up for failure—creating confusion, legal risk, and missed hiring opportunities. You'll learn what must be included, how to stay compliant, and why being transparent about your expectations (including physical demands and performance metrics) is key to attracting the right candidates. If you're serious about improving your hiring process and retaining top talent, this conversation is a must-listen. Takeaways: Job descriptions should reflect the specific needs of your practice. Outdated job descriptions create misalignment and confusion. Every job description serves as a legal agreement between employer and employee. Transparency in compensation, expectations, and requirements is essential. Include physical job requirements and measurable performance goals. Store and organize job descriptions properly for easy access and compliance.

Is cold email dead? Not even close you're just doing it wrong. In this episode of the Legacy Podcast, host Paul Dio speaks with Adam Rosen, founder and CEO of Email Outreach Company (EOC), a service helping startups and businesses scale their outreach through strategic, professional cold email. From landing Fortune 500 clients like Amazon and Bank of America to getting replies from Mark Cuban and Ajay Banga, Adam shares real stories that prove email is still one of the most powerful tools in business if you know how to use it. He breaks down what's changed (and what hasn't) in the email landscape, especially after the crackdown by Google and Microsoft on poor practices. You'll learn why most emails go ignored, what really makes the best open rates, and how to write with the kind of care that earns time on someone's calendar not a spot in the spam folder. Whether you're in B2B sales, lead generation, or trying to build partnerships from scratch, Adam delivers a crash course on doing cold email the right way built on value, credibility, and deep customer understanding.

Is Canada's life sciences and health tech sector heading toward a code red? In this episode, Sabrina Maddeaux and Mike Moffatt unpack how outdated and fragmented privacy laws are slowing innovation, and why aligning too closely with European regulations could make things even worse. They explore the “Brussels effect,” where the EU's regulatory power shapes rules far beyond Europe, and how Canada may already be feeling its impact.The conversation dives into why modern health innovation depends on large-scale data, how Canada's patchwork of federal and provincial rules creates costly barriers, and what lessons we could learn from countries like Japan and Singapore instead.Chapters:00:00 Introduction00:44 The Brussels Effect explained03:17 Outdated health-data and privacy rules04:13 Accessing lifescience data06:00 Safety vs innovation07:40 Europe lacks tech innovation08:55 We're already adopting EU rules09:28 Asia leads the way in healthtech data regulationResearch:Health Innovation Doesn't Have to Be This Hardhttps://www.missingmiddleinitiative.ca/p/health-innovation-doesnt-have-to?utm_campaign=post&utm_medium=webThe Draghi report on EU competitivenesshttps://commission.europa.eu/topics/competitiveness/draghi-report_enHosted by Mike Moffatt & Cara Stern & Sabrina Maddeaux Produced by Meredith Martin This podcast is funded by the Neptis Foundation and brought to you by the Smart Prosperity Institute.

Many retirees today feel squeezed. Rising costs, fixed incomes, and market uncertainty can make the retirement years feel more fragile than expected. Yet for many households, one of their largest assets—their home—often sits unused in their financial plan.For years, reverse mortgages carried a mixed reputation. But significant reforms over the last decade have reshaped the program, making today's options safer, more flexible, and better aligned with thoughtful retirement planning. Today, we are joined by Harlan Accola, National Reverse Mortgage Director with Movement Mortgage, to explore how home equity can play a more intentional role in retirement.Why Home Equity Is Often OverlookedFor many retirees, their home represents their single largest asset. Yet it's frequently absent from retirement conversations.One reason is perception. Outdated assumptions and negative press have long hampered reverse mortgages. Another reason is structural: many financial advisors simply aren't trained—or compensated—to incorporate home equity into retirement planning. As a result, planning conversations often focus on investments, Social Security, pensions, and insurance, while equity is quietly ignored.That oversight can create strain. When too much wealth is locked inside a home, retirees may feel cash-poor even while sitting on significant net worth—especially if they're still making monthly mortgage payments.Much of what people fear about reverse mortgages no longer applies. Major legislative reforms roughly a decade ago addressed earlier concerns and strengthened consumer protections. Today's reverse mortgage programs are federally regulated and far more transparent.In fact, recent industry surveys—including data from J.D. Power—show that more than 90% of reverse mortgage borrowers report being satisfied with their experience. As more people hear positive stories from neighbors and friends, perceptions continue to shift.Key Benefits of Today's Reverse MortgagesThe most immediate benefit for many retirees is simple: eliminating a monthly mortgage payment. I've spoken with retirees who are using a significant portion of their Social Security income just to cover housing costs. Removing that payment can dramatically improve monthly cash flow—even for those who technically “can afford” the payment.Another powerful benefit is preparation. Long-term care remains one of the largest unfunded risks in retirement. For homeowners who have already paid off their house, a reverse mortgage can establish a guaranteed line of credit before it's needed. Think of it as getting an umbrella before it starts raining—access to funds that can be used later if health care needs arise or unexpected expenses surface.A Third Bucket in Retirement PlanningTraditionally, retirees think in terms of two buckets: income and investments. But home equity can function as a third.The early years of retirement are often the most critical. Drawing too quickly from investments doesn't just reduce the balance—it also eliminates years of future growth. By using home equity strategically, retirees may be able to reduce pressure on their investment portfolio, delay Social Security, and extend the longevity of their overall plan.In many cases, this isn't about necessity—it's about stewardship. Rather than leaving a major asset idle or waiting until it must be accessed in distress, home equity can be used intentionally to support stability, flexibility, and peace of mind.Reverse mortgages aren't for everyone, and they should always be evaluated carefully within a broader financial plan. But for those in the later seasons of life—especially homeowners still making payments or struggling to meet monthly expenses—they can be a valuable option.When used wisely, home equity isn't about giving something up. It's about stewarding what God has already entrusted to you, so your resources serve you well throughout retirement.To learn more, visit Movement.com/Faith.On Today's Program, Rob Answers Listener Questions:I own a small business with about 10 employees, and I'm looking to set up a 401(k).

Graphic designers are working harder than ever, yet many are stuck, underpaid, and increasingly ignored. It feels like AI, cheaper tools, and endless competition are the problem. But that story is convenient. And wrong. The real issue is that most designers are trying to win in an industry that has already moved on.The reality is, most designers are doing exactly what they were taught to do. Perfect the craft. Add more skills. Grind harder. And yet those same designers are watching others with average work land better clients, bigger opportunities, and more respect. The difference is not talent. It is how they think, position themselves, and show up.This week on The Angry Designer Podcast, we break down the five mindset shifts separating designers who are just surviving from designers who are actually winning. These are the exact shifts I am drilling into my own team and the same ones I have seen protect careers through every major industry change.In this episode you'll discover:- Why design execution is becoming cheaper while strategic designers are booming- How relying on AI is quietly making designers invisible and how integrating it - What matters more than your portfolioThis episode is not about fixing your work. It is about fixing how you think about your role as a designer. Because the future does not belong to the busiest designers or the most technically skilled ones. It belongs to the designers who understand where the industry is going and choose to shift before they get left behind.Stay Angry our Friends –––––––––––Join Anger Management for Designers Newsletter at https://tinyurl.com/mr4bb4j3Want to see more?

Most C-suite executives resist group coaching. They think it's beneath them. That they need one-on-one attention. That the cool kids don't do groups. But here's what they're missing: The executives landing fastest aren't going it alone - they're in rooms with other sharp leaders who push them, connect them, and amplify their momentum. Group coaching isn't about splitting attention. It's about multiplying force. The hidden math of going solo One coach. One perspective. One set of connections. Versus: One coach + 10-15 C-suite peers from different industries + guest experts + cross-pollinated networks + collective negotiation intel + real-time market intelligence. That's not diluted support. That's exponential leverage. In this episode: Why the job market playbook from 10 years ago (or even last year) is obsolete The real reason networking doesn't work - and what to do instead How LinkedIn went from "nice to have" to non-negotiable visibility engine Why referrals make up less than 10% of applications but 40% of hires The hidden talent economy: roles created for people before they're ever posted What separates executives who land in 60 days from those still searching at month 9 The power of micro-networks (clusters) over massive, generic connections How to build your own digital power circle in 3 steps Who should NOT be in a group program (and why that matters) A real transformation Before: A 20-year healthcare executive. Over a decade at one company. LinkedIn follower count: under 1,000. No active presence. Outdated job search strategies. No idea how to navigate the new hiring landscape. Then: Joined Portfolio Rocket's group coaching program. Learned to build a voice on LinkedIn. Showed up authentically. Shared vulnerable stories (like iPhone rules for her daughter). Connected with peers across industries - education, design, marketing, advertising. After: 14,000+ LinkedIn followers. A viral post picked up by Angela Duckworth. Global reach. Podcast invitations. A negotiation expert from the cohort coached her through her package. Introductions to Oprah's network within 24 hours. And a career ecosystem that breathes, responds, and remembers. That's not luck. That's the compounding power of being in the room where it happens. Timestamps (0:00) - Intro (1:17) - Why Cece joined group coaching after 10+ years out of the job market (5:00) - The first piece of armor to drop: building a voice on LinkedIn (8:11) - Why job searching today is fundamentally different than even a year ago (10:50) - The hidden job market and roles created before posting (14:30) - Networking is dead. Clustering is alive. (16:40) - Times Square vs. the Sahara Desert: where do you want to be? (19:03) - How to tap into micro-networks and digital power circles (21:28) - The exponential effect: classmates become colleagues, friends, connectors (22:00) - The intangibles: mindset, structure, guardrails, and optimism (25:08) - Who should NOT be in a group program (26:30) - October: 5 people landed. November: still counting. The takeaway Your next role isn't waiting in a job posting. It's being shaped in a conversation you're not part of yet - with people who don't know your name. Unless you're in the room where it happens. Group coaching isn't a compromise. It's a catalyst. Stop going solo. Start going exponential.

Real Estate Expert & Best-Selling Author, Gerald Lucas discusses whether federal flood maps are accurate or outdated.

There's a good chance you've seen the headline making its rounds: Ford's CEO is on record claiming they have over 5,000 open mechanic jobs paying $120,000 a year that they just can't fill.  When I heard it, I had a reaction because the statement is deeply disconnected from reality. It's a gross oversimplification based on surface-level logic, and frankly, it is completely false. (A few minutes of research will prove that, if you don't believe me.)  This week on Future Focused, I'm not just picking apart Ford. I'm using this as a case study for a very dangerous trend: blaming job seekers for problems that originate inside the company.  The real danger here is that leaders are confusing the total cost of a role with the actual take-home salary. That one detail lets them pass the buck and avoid facing the actual problems, like:  ​Underinvestment in skill development.  ​Outdated job designs and seeking the mythical "unicorn" candidate.  ​Lack of clear growth pathways for current employees.  ​Systemic issues that stay hidden because no one is asking the hard questions.  If you're a leader struggling to hire, you don't have a talent crisis; you have an alignment crisis and a diagnostic crisis.  I talk through a case study inside a large organization where I was forced to turn high turnover and high vacancy around by looking in the mirror. I'll walk some key shifts like:  ​Dump the Perfect Candidate Myth right now, because that person doesn't exist and hiring them at the ceiling only creates a flight risk.  ​Hire for Core Capabilities like adaptability, curiosity, and problem-solving, instead of a checklist of specific job titles or projects.  ​Diagnose Without Assigning Blame by having honest conversations with the people actually doing the job to find out the real blockers.  By the end, I hope you'll be convinced that change comes from the person looking back at you in the mirror, not the person you're trying to hire.  ⸻If this conversation helps you think more clearly about the future we're building, make sure to like, share, and subscribe.
