Tim Elliott is the CEO of Navvis, a value-based enablement company that works with health systems, health plans, physician groups, and employers to drive performance under value-based agreements. Navvis takes a cross-continuum view of care — supporting patients before, during, and after the physician visit — and operates across the full spectrum of payment models, from full-risk MA and MSSP ACOs to bundled payments, TEAMS, and CJR. Tim's core conviction is that physicians are the linchpin of any sustainable change in value-based care, and that the "last mile" of transformation is change management — not technology. Navvis doesn't show up with a blank piece of paper or a mandatory platform; they bring a point of view on what world-class looks like and engage physicians in the refinement and rollout.We discuss:What AI consistently misses in value-based care — and why "human in the loop" needs to be on steroids in healthcare, not just a check on the modelHow to recognize when a health system is rolling tools out faster than clinicians can absorb them — and why bottom-up physician demand is reshaping the AI rollout playbookThe real difference between a care model physicians co-designed and one that was handed to them — and how Navvis approaches refinement vs. a blank-paper exerciseWhat surprises health systems most when they move into real downside risk for the first time — the misalignment between contract incentives and operational behaviorWhy "two standards of care" is the wrong frame for value-based vs. fee-for-service patients — and what the EMR needs to recognize at the point of encounterThe alignment problem at the executive and physician level that quietly kills downside-risk contracts before the year is outThe lesson Tim hopes the industry finally learns 20 years from now — why the 3-5% of patients driving 60-80% of cost are the unfinished work of this eraWho Navvis is built for, and why their model is to optimize existing technology rather than force a 12-to-18-month rip-and-replace— Brought to you by: Sage Growth Partners — Value-focused strategy and marketing for growth-driven healthcare organizations. — Where to find Jared: • X: https://x.com/jaredstaylor • LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jaredstaylor/

Pricing your work is your favorite guessing game, you say? Don't worry. For most artists, it's their least favorite - and frankly, it shouldn't have to feel like one. This minisode gets real about the messy middle between undercharging, overthinking, and learning the hard way, with honest perspective from Alli K Design, the Off the Walls Murals team, and Kyle Mosher. From showing up to walls way bigger than expected to losing thousands on early mistakes no one warns you about, these are the moments that actually shape how artists start pricing with confidence. What comes through isn't a perfect formula (because there isn't one), but something more useful: a grounded way to think about your numbers, your time, and your value, built through curiosity, community, and experience. If you've ever second-guessed a quote or wondered if you're doing it “right,” this one will feel like a conversation you didn't know you needed.In this episode, you'll hear:Why pricing murals will never be a plug-and-play formula, and what to do insteadHow Alli K approaches pricing through curiosity, community, and asking better questionsWhat a certain muralist learned about time, energy, and setting boundaries (including charging for site visits)The real cost of early business mistakes… and how Kyle Mosher turned them into better systemsWhy outsourcing the parts of your business you avoid can actually make you more moneyHow to balance being the artist and the operator without burning outThe bigger vision behind Off The Walls Murals' work – and how pricing well allows you to give back in a sustainable wayHit rewind on these episodes:Setting Your Prices as an Artist with Alli K DesignBooking Brand Collabs with Artist Kyle MosherBuilding a Creative Business with Your Best Friend feat.

255,000 downloads. I'm blown away, and I want to say thank you, because this episode is for you.I almost didn't release an episode this week. Because honestly? The wellness space is loud right now, and the last thing I want is to be another voice making you feel like you're falling short. But that's exactly why I had to record it.I was on a walk with a friend who strength trains consistently, walks regularly, and still feels like she's not doing enough. Sound familiar? This episode is me telling you what I told her.In this episode, I'm breaking down:Why "wellness culture" has quietly become the new diet culture, and how optimization obsession is burning women outThe specific midlife triggers (hormones, aging, social media algorithms) that make us especially vulnerable to perfectionism around healthWhy tracking everything, monitoring every symptom, and consuming endless wellness advice is actually disconnecting you from your own bodyWhat sustainable, real wellness actually looks like, and why it has nothing to do with doing moreHow to give yourself full permission to dial it back and still be doing enoughIf you're exhausted by the noise around creatine, cortisol, cold plunges, fasting windows, and morning routines, this is your permission slip to exhale.Wellness is supposed to support your life, not consume it. And midlife? It's not another checklist to optimize. Let's make it the best chapter yet.Share this episode with a woman in your life who needs to hear it.

Indian paintbrush showed up at Porter Prairie Family Farm this week — native Oklahoma wildflower, first time Adam's seen it on his property. He didn't plant it. Nobody did. The seed bank was just dormant, waiting for the soil to be right. Two years of cattle grazing in the back pasture, no mowing, better land management — and something long dormant finally decided it was safe to bloom. Joel Salatin talks about this: when the practices change, when a property gets new stewardship, the land seems to know it. So does grace.David's been busy in a different direction. He wired up an automatic door for the chicken coop — actuator, relay, battery, timer — a sliding gate that covers the nesting boxes so the younger chickens stop sleeping in them and fouling the eggs. Under $150 total, including an actuator that lifts 300 pounds for thirty bucks. When he asked Lady Pamela what she wanted it to look like, she said: prison bars coming down. "We'll call it the Henna Tincture." David said say no more. The Henna Tincture it is.This week we're sipping Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, Kentucky Straight Bourbon, 7 years — same distillery as Elijah Craig and Evan Williams. No gimmicks, under fifty bucks, smooth finish with a peanut butter quality that works. Bottled in bond since the Act of 1897. Very solid.Quick update on baby Mary: she's still having good days. Praise God. Keep her and Lady Haylee in your prayers. Adam also headed out to Arkansas over Mother's Day weekend to be with his goddaughter JoJo Kleine for her First Holy Communion — and got to watch nephew Danny Kleine go two-for-two at the plate with at least one RBI. After months of watching a daughter fight for her life in a NICU, sometimes what a soul needs is family, a Mass, and a kid absolutely cranking baseballs.Then we get into it: the papacy. A year in with Pope Leo XIV — the first American pope, the man who took the name knowing exactly whose shoes he was stepping into — and what does all of it mean? Where does that authority come from, and what's it actually for?Dave traces it back to the Davidic kingdom. When the king left for war, he handed the keys to his steward, who operated with full royal authority until the king returned. Matthew 16 isn't symbolism. "What you bind on earth will be bound in heaven" — the Jews at the time knew exactly what that meant. That's why Peter is listed first among the apostles almost every time. He was their leader. He had the keys. Two thousand years of unbroken succession later, here we are.But then the conversation goes somewhere unexpected. Authority is given to you so that you might serve those over whom you have authority. Not for your own glory. Not so people owe you. The pope is literally titled Servant of the Servants of God. The same authority Christ handed to Peter is the same authority He described in the upper room — the pagans lord it over their subjects, but not so among you. You will be the one who serves.For fathers, that cuts. Pope John Paul II stood up against governments, even after taking a bullet. He kept going out. What does that courage look like in an ordinary household? Probably not a wound in the square. More likely a different kind of martyrdom — the kind where you make a decision for your family that nobody else understands, that your kids resent for a season, that costs you something in your social circle. You make it anyway. Because you've prayed about it, talked it through with your wife, and you know in your gut it's the right thing for your people. You stand on the island by yourself if you have to.Dave closes with something worth trying: he prays specifically to the Holy Spirit to give Lady Pamela strong motherly intuition into the inner lives of their children. When she says something feels off, he pays close attention. That's him exercising his authority — his fatherly papacy — to draw more grace into his household. Not to control everything himself. To pray for the right graces for the right people.The fatherly papacy, if you will.Raise your glass.TOPICS COVEREDIndian paintbrush flowers appearing at Porter Prairie — and why the land responds to new stewardshipJoel Salatin and the School of Traditional Skills on how cattle and management change soil biologyDavid's automatic chicken coop door: actuator, relay, timer, and the Henna TinctureDavid's wheat harvest coming up — 12,000 square feet, building a grain cradle for the scytheBourbon of the week: Heaven Hill Bottled in Bond, 7-year Kentucky Straight BourbonJoJo Klein's First Holy Communion and nephew Danny Klein's two-for-two at the plateBaby Mary update — still having good days, keep her in your prayersPope Leo XIV's one-year anniversary — the first American pope and what it means to hear him speak in American EnglishThe modern problem of instant information and why it's harder than ever to be the popeWhy interview questions on a plane, stripped of all context, are unfair to any human beingThe name you give a child is an inheritance — a new name inherits nothingWhy Adam named Leo Thomas after Pope Leo XIII and Thomas Aquinas, and John Dominic after the Apostle and the DominicansPope Leo XIII: the Marian pope, the social doctrine pope, the first pope ever filmedThomas Aquinas on the papacy — Contra Gentiles and the SummaThe Davidic kingdom and the keys: Matthew 16 as a transfer of royal authority, not a metaphorThe question of authority — Trent Horn, Protestants, atheists, and why it always comes down to thisWhy the things closest to heaven get attacked the hardest — authority and sexuality as parallel examplesThe pope as Servant of the Servants of God — and what that actually costsPope John Paul II standing up against communist governments even after being shotWhat putting yourself in harm's way looks like for fathers: social martyrdom, not bulletsMaking decisions for your family that your kids, their friends, and their friends' parents all disagree withThe German church and what a timeout looks like at the universal levelWhy the Church has been around for 2,000 years and what that tells youPraying for your wife's specific graces — and why Dave prays for Lady Pamela's motherly intuitionAuthority as the source of efficacious prayer — a father's prayers for his childrenThe TOTUS TUUS decision and trusting a mother's intuitionPope Leo's upcoming AI encyclical — and why millennials are the generation tasked with figuring this outThe fatherly papacy — what domestic authority and universal authority shareREFERENCED IN THIS EPISODEBooks & Writings:Summa Theologiae by St. Thomas AquinasSumma Contra Gentiles by St. Thomas AquinasSaints & Historical Figures:St. Thomas AquinasPope Leo XIII (social doctrine, Marian encyclicals, first pope ever filmed)Pope Leo XIV (Robert Prevost, first American pope)Pope John Paul II (stood against communist governments, continued ministry after assassination attempt)Pope Francis (repose of his soul — the men still catching themselves saying the wrong name)King David / the Davidic kingdom (Old Testament typology for the papacy)St. Peter (first pope, holder of the keys)People & Guests:Joel Salatin — School of Traditional SkillsTrent Horn (Catholic apologist, debates on authority)Patrick Stephen (listener and Instagram follower who suggested the topic)JoJo Klein — Adam's goddaughter, received First Holy CommunionDanny Klein — Adam's nephew, baseballLady Haylee MinihanLady Pamela NilesLuke Minihan (Adam's oldest)Mary Minihan (in the NICU)Programs:TOTUS TUUS (Catholic youth formation program)School of Traditional Skills (online homesteading video subscription)Scripture:Matthew 16:18-19 — "I give you the keys to the kingdom"John 20:23 — binding and loosingSPONSOR BLOCKSponsor: Select International Tours — selectinternationaltours.comWhen Adam and Dave decided to lead their first pilgrimage, they asked around, and the same name came up over and over: Select International Tours.

Haley's bringing real talk on this one. If you're in a membership (or leading one) and you're not getting the results you expected, this episode is your mirror moment. Haley breaks down the three most common reasons people exit memberships before they've actually given them a real shot, why "I've exhausted the room" is often a story we tell ourselves, and what radical responsibility actually looks like as both a community member and a community leader.This is your reminder that community is a long game and consistency is the only currency that pays out.In this episode:Why the "well has run dry" excuse is almost always a cop-outThe psychological u-turn that happens when you overstuff a membership with contentThree questions to ask yourself before joining or quitting any membershipWhy showing up once a month and saying your name isn't a strategyHow to do your own membership audit and actually own the outcomeThe difference between outgrowing a room and just avoiding the repsReflection prompts from this episode:How am I showing up in the spaces I'm financially committed to?Am I creating a clear imprint, or just introducing myself over and over?Do I have the time, capacity, and genuine interest to make this a priority?CONNECT WITH HALEY:Instagram: @thehaleywestfallWebsite: www.haleywestfall.comTikTok: @thehaleywestfallLinkedIn: Haley Westfall
How many times have you been in an appointment where everything was going great, and then they hit you with one of these:"I need to talk to my spouse.""This is a big decision. I need to think about it.""I'm getting three quotes. I'll let you know."And you just... freeze. You don't want to be pushy. So you say, "Yeah, totally understand. Take your time." And then you leave. And you never hear from them again.Here's what's happening: You hit a moment of hesitation, and instead of getting past it, you just accepted it as the end of the conversation.But there's a tool—a really simple tool—that most people don't talk about. When you use it correctly, it lets you step into a parallel universe, get past the hesitation, and come right back to reality without being pushy or weird.It's called the hypothetical. And Sam breaks down exactly how to use it.In This Episode:The moment you freeze when they say "I need to think about it"Why most salespeople just accept hesitation as the endThe parallel universe concept: step in, get past the hump, step back outThe hypothetical is a backup tool, not what you lead withExample 1: "I need to talk to my spouse" - Hypothetically, if they were sitting right here, what would you tell themExample 2: "I'm getting three quotes" - Hypothetically, why did you call us specificallyExample 3: "This is too expensive" - Separate the what from the how (would you want it if money wasn't an issue)Example 4: "I need to think about it" - Hypothetically, if you woke up tomorrow and this was already done, what would that feel likeGet them to tell you what they're actually thinking, not what fear is telling themStep back out of the hypothetical and into reality: So it sounds like you're leaning toward Option 2Three mistakes: using it too early, staying in it too long, using it to manipulatePeople don't want to sit in hesitation, they want clarityThe hypothetical gives them clarity without feeling pushedReal Result:Lyndon from Wheat and Sons in Maryland, second week in the field, first appointment of the day: 27 thousand dollar close with a for sale sign in the front yard. He didn't prejudge. He offered everything to everyone every time. He did the process. They said I want that one. Done.The Framework:When they say: "I need to talk to my spouse"Wrong way: "Yeah, totally understand. Take your time." Then you leave and never hear from them again.Right way: "Totally get it. Hypothetically, if your spouse were sitting right here next to you right now, and they said, what do you think we should do, what would you tell them?"What happens: They tell you what they actually think. Not what fear is telling them. You get back into a real conversation.Then step out: "Okay, great. So it sounds like you're leaning toward Option 2. Let's talk about that."Three Mistakes:Mistake 1: Using it too early. Don't lead with it. It's a backup tool for when you hit resistance.Mistake 2: Staying in it too long. It's a detour. Step in, get past the hump, step back out.Mistake 3: Using it to manipulate. This helps them get past mental roadblocks, not pressure them into buying something they don't want. If you use it to manipulate, it backfires and you feel gross.Work with Sam:Website: https://www.closeitnow.netCoaching & Training: https://www.closeitnow.net/coachingFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/closeitnowEmail: sam@closeitnow.netSummer Sales Surge Series 2026:Live virtual training June through September.

You've read the book. You nodded at every page. And then you changed absolutely nothing. Sound familiar?Nir Eyal helped Silicon Valley build the systems that capture your attention — then turned around and wrote the books on how to fight back. Hooked became the playbook for habit-forming products. Indistractable showed you how to resist them. And now Beyond Belief cracks open the real reason most men read all of it, agree with all of it, and still don't change.It's not discipline. It's not information. It's belief. Specifically, the stories you've been telling yourself about who you are, what you're capable of, and whether change is actually possible for someone like you. Nir calls them limiting beliefs — and he spent six years researching how to replace them with something better.This one hits different if you've ever blamed your ADHD, your past, your upbringing, or the algorithm for the gap between who you are and who you know you could be.IN THIS EPISODE, YOU'LL LEARN:Why 90% of distraction isn't your phone — it's a feelingThe motivation triangle: behavior and benefit fail without beliefHow a diagnosis becomes a cage — and how to break outThe man who almost died from a placebo overdoseRichter's rats: how one belief produced 240x more persistenceWhy to-do lists are broken — and what to do insteadFREE RESOURCE FROM NIR:5-Minute Belief Change Guide — nirandfar.com/beyondbeliefliveFOLLOW NIR EYAL:Website & free resources: nirandfar.comBooks: Hooked, Indistractable, Beyond Belief — AmazonGo Deeper here are Three Supporting EPISODES FROM MTM:Ep. 92 — Overcoming ProcrastinationEp. 121 — Managing Your Mind: How to Kick Out Negative ThoughtsEp. 138 — Curiosity Is Key to Breaking Men Free from Judgment and RuminationFollow MTM: SUBSCRIBE - Thursday Three Things or Text MTM to 33777: newsletter.focusnowtraining.comFREE Training Content or Corporate Workshop: focusnowtraining.comMore Episodes & Resources: mentalkingmindfulness.comCoaching with Will: willnotfear.comBook Jon to Speak: jonmacaskill.comCo-produced by Robert Lopez | cratesaudio.comHosted on Ausha.

In today's episode, I sat down with AI strategist and systems expert Tate to talk about what it really looks like to use AI strategically as a nine-to-five founder building a business on the side.And no, we're not talking about typing one sentence into ChatGPT and hoping for the best.We're talking about:✨ buying your time back✨ automating repetitive business tasks✨ using AI as a strategist, thought partner, and operator✨ building systems that help you scale without hiring a huge team✨ and learning how to actually become AI literate in a world that is rapidly changingThis conversation honestly blew my mind because even though I already use AI heavily in my business, Tate introduced me to tools and systems that completely changed how I think about productivity, delegation, and scaling sustainably.Inside this episode, we talk about:Why most people are still getting mediocre results from AIThe biggest mistake beginners make when using ChatGPT and ClaudeThe difference between “playing around” with AI vs. strategically implementing itHow I use AI to manage my full-time job, podcast, membership, and skincare brand simultaneouslyWhy Claude has become my favorite AI tool for businessHow to automate repetitive tasks in your businessUsing AI for content planning, client communication, and marketing strategyWhat AI literacy actually means (even if you don't consider yourself “techy”)How to scale your business with AI without burning yourself outThe tools Tate swears by for founders and entrepreneursSome of the tools we mentioned:Claude AIChatGPTClaude ConnectorsClaude CodeWhisper FlowNotionGoogle Workspace IntegrationsIf you want access to the full workshop, live Q&A, expert trainings, masterclasses, and support inside the Reset Room community
In This Episode We DiscussWhy end-of-year classroom routines often fall apart after testingHow to maintain high expectations in your upper elementary literacy classroom through the last day of schoolThe connection between teacher expectations, student behavior, and student effortWhy structure and consistency matter more than “keeping students busy” during the post-testing seasonHow to cast a realistic vision for the end of the school year without burning yourself outThe difference between reacting to the end of the year vs. intentionally designing itA simple framework for helping students continue reading, writing, thinking, and learning through May and JuneHow maintaining expectations supports both classroom management and academic growth• Casting a vision for how you want your classroom to look, sound, and feel at the end of the school year• Choosing a few clear academic and behavior non-negotiables• Maintaining literacy routines even after state testing• Continuing reading, writing, discussion, and thinking work through the final weeks• Reflecting on where expectations became unclear during the school year• Editing unrealistic end-of-year plans so they align with your energy and values• Supporting students through transitions while maintaining structure and consistencyThese are all practical strategies designed to help upper elementary teachers finish the school year with intention, maintain classroom expectations, and protect the learning students have worked hard to build all year long.As you listen, consider this question:What am I intentionally maintaining in my classroom right now?Because students don't just respond to what we say matters at the end of the year—they respond to what we consistently reinforce.Instructional leadership starts with teachers who are willing to design the ending of the school year with as much intention as they designed the beginning.This episode focuses on the first component of Eva's four-part Finish Strong-ish framework:Clarify:What students will be doing, saying, and producingWhat expectations supported student successWhat routines and expectations need to stay consistentHow you want your classroom to feel through the final weeks of schoolFuture episodes in this series will also unpack:Back End (teacher systems, organization, and motivation)Front and Center (keeping learning intentional)Community (cultivating classroom connection and belonging)• The Pygmalion Effect (Rosenthal & Jacobson)• Research on teacher expectations and student outcomes• World Economic Forum research on vision, resilience, and future-focused thinkingEpisode 133: Finish Strong-ish Series Overview
You're doing the work. Showing up, serving clients, keeping the wheels turning. But somewhere between the invoices and the to-do lists, a quiet question keeps surfacing:Is this it? Is this what I built all of this for?Most of us got into entrepreneurship with a bigger vision in mind. A movement we wanted to lead. A life we wanted to design. An impact we knew we were capable of making. But the daily grind has a way of shrinking our thinking — until we're so focused on what's right in front of us that we've completely lost sight of where we're actually headed.In this solo episode, Lianne Kim gives you permission to step off the hamster wheel and look up. She walks through three distinct phases of the entrepreneurial journey — from building to “pre-tirement” to retirement — and invites you to start dreaming about what each one could look like for you. Not someday. Now.Because if you can't first dream it, you can't possibly build it.In this episode, you'll discover:Why getting caught up in the daily grind quietly kills your bigger vision — and how to zoom back outThe three phases of the entrepreneurial journey every business owner needs to be thinking about: building, pre-tirement, and retirementWhat “pre-tirement” actually looks like — and why it's the phase most entrepreneurs never plan for (but desperately need)How to think about selling, passing on, or winding down your business so it becomes a financial legacy, not just a door you closeA powerful visioning exercise to reconnect with the impact you're here to make — and the number of lives you want to changeTimestamps: 00:00 – Feeling stuck on the hamster wheel?

I wanted to sit down with Carl because he's seen the whole arc from a vantage point most people haven't: Two Tone gigs at Hammersmith Odeon (where everyone had to leave their DMs at the door), an acid house epiphany at Glastonbury, the drum & bass evangelism that defined his 90s, and a publishing career that's covered the rise of the superstar DJ, the bottle-service era and the digital revolution from the front row.We get into Carl's own DJing journey — the false start, the freestyle rooms in Hackney, the international gigs that came with the editor's chair — and the labels he's built along the way: Westway with Barry Ashworth from the Dub Pistols, and Jack Said What with Irvine Welsh and Steve Mac (the underground house Steve Mac, not the pop one — there's a great story in there). He's also really frank about the shifting cultural landscape: the whitewashing he and Ben Murphy set out to address with their book Renegade Snares, the wellbeing reckoning that's reshaping what DJ life looks like, and the sea-of-phones problem that's quietly killing the dancefloor.In this episode we cover:Growing up between Beatles, Buddy Holly and Two Tone, and his first gig at 13 (Madness, Hammersmith Odeon)His acid house epiphany at Glastonbury and the unsung heroes the history books missedThe Hackney freestyle rooms, becoming a drum & bass DJ, and almost painting himself into a cornerBlagging his first reviews for Melody Maker and what life was like as a 90s freelance music journoWhy Melody Maker went down the toilet and how he ended up at DJ Mag full timeInternational gigs in Brazil, Ecuador, Poland and China — and learning why touring DJs burn outThe cult of the superstar DJ and the hangover from rock and rollWestway Records, Jack Said What, and the realities of running a label after the vinyl crashRenegade Snares, the whitewashing of drum & bass, and the genre's reckoning with diversityWhy digital was a blessing and a curse, and what happens when 20,000 tracks a day hit SpotifyThe wellness shift, the sea of phones, and his advice for new DJs trying to break through

What does it really take to turn a neighborhood dental practice into a must-visit brand no matter the competition next door?In this episode, Dr. Chaz Vittitow shares the real story of launching and growing The Local Dentist in a market packed with competitors all while balancing family life with four kids and navigating today's unique challenges for dentists. Chaz explains the origin of his practice's name and how it shaped everything from branding to partnering with local businesses. He also digs into the seldom-discussed realities: intense staffing pressures, skyrocketing expenses, and the myth that owning a practice guarantees financial success.Chaz reveals how he grew by aggressively marketing, earning patient referrals, and, most notably, breaking free from PPO insurance networks, once facing $500–$600K annual write-offs on $1.1M collected. He delivers a practical guide for dropping insurance: scripting patient conversations, offering membership alternatives, and controlling the story to retain quality care (and your best patients). Through powerful communication tweaks and lessons learned on team-building, leadership, and profitability, Chaz equips us with a blueprint to build not just a profitable practice, but a truly resilient one.What You'll Learn in This Episode:How to craft a dental brand that resonates in your community and stands outThe key differences (and new complexities) of dental ownership today versus prior generationsCreative growth strategies for practices in saturated markets, from ground-level marketing to referral systemsWhy and how to drop insurance networks without losing your patient base (or your mind)The real financial impact of insurance write-offs (and how to regain control)Step-by-step tactics for transitioning patients off PPO plans, minimizing attrition and complaintsTransformative language and communication shifts that boost case acceptance and patient loyaltyOperational insights: hiring, team training, profitability strategies, and smart tech adoptionTune in to learn how Dr. Chaz builds an unstoppable brand that resonates with his local community!Sponsors:Net32: Founded by a dentist, for dentists.

In last week's episode, we heard from Michael McLean.This week, we continue the conversation with his son, Jeff McLean — and you will not want to miss it.Jeff shares his deeply personal story of growing up in The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints while quietly carrying a truth he didn't yet feel safe to live: he is gay.For years, Jeff tried to fit into a framework that didn't align with who he knew himself to be. He talks openly about the exhaustion of pretending… the ache of wanting to belong… and the internal conflict of loving his faith, his family, and yet feeling there was no space for his whole self.Eventually, Jeff reached a breaking point.He made the courageous decision to stop hiding.In this powerful conversation, Jeff shares:What it was like growing up in a well-known Latter-day Saint familyThe emotional toll of suppressing his identityThe fear and freedom that came with coming outThe rocky early years with his parents, and what he has learned about unconditional loveHow their relationship slowly shifted from pain and misunderstanding to love and acceptanceToday, Jeff and his parents are not only close in their relationship — they are collaborators. Together, they have written a new book, "Stay in the Room", about what it means to remain present with each other through disagreement, hurt, faith transitions, and identity differences.This episode is tender. Honest. Hope-filled.It's about truth-telling.It's about staying.It's about love that grows.Whether you are a parent of a child who has left your faith, someone navigating your own identity, or simply a human wanting to build deeper connection across difference — this conversation will move you.Jeff's vulnerability is a gift. And his story is one that will stay with you.

In this episode of I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman, host Luis Guzman sits down with David Castro Delgado, a multi-talented creative whose journey moves through music, entrepreneurship, faith, and personal growth. From his early days in Brooklyn surrounded by hip hop culture to building ventures in nightlife, fashion, and podcasting, David shares what it really looks like to chase success without losing yourself in the process.The conversation goes way deeper than surface-level wins. David Castro Delgado opens up about being a flawed, evolving person, someone who refuses to act like he's “arrived.” That honesty sets the tone for a real discussion about growth, ego, and the constant tension between ambition and humility. If you've ever felt like you're still figuring it out while trying to build something meaningful, this one will hit home.Faith plays a major role throughout the episode, but not in a preachy way. Instead, it's explored as a grounding force that helps navigate life, business, and relationships. Luis Guzman and David get into the idea of leaning on God while still pursuing success, challenging the outdated belief that being spiritual means you have to struggle or stay small. They talk openly about money, success, and why wanting more doesn't automatically make you less authentic.There's also a raw look at past mistakes and hard lessons. David shares how chasing the wrong version of success led him down paths that forced him to reevaluate everything. From street influences to internal battles with ego and identity, this episode shows how growth often comes from uncomfortable truths. It's not about perfection, it's about being honest enough to adjust and move forward.The episode also taps into hip hop culture and how it shaped both of their identities. From early influences to the evolution of the industry, they break down how music became more than entertainment. It became a mirror, a guide, and sometimes even a substitute for missing role models. That cultural connection adds another layer to the conversation, especially for creatives trying to find their voice.Here are a few key takeaways from this episode:Why growth requires humility and letting go of the idea that you have everything figured outHow faith and ambition can coexist without canceling each other outThe danger of chasing success “by any means” and what it really costsHow hip hop culture shaped identity, creativity, and confidenceWhy self-awareness is one of the most important tools for any creativeWhat makes this episode stand out is how real it feels. There's no pretending, no polished version of success. Just two creatives having an honest conversation about life, mistakes, faith, and what it takes to keep going. David Castro Delgado brings perspective from years of experience, while Luis Guzman keeps the conversation grounded and relatable.If you're an artist, entrepreneur, or someone trying to build a life with purpose, this episode gives you something to think about. It's a reminder that success isn't just about what you build, but who you become while building it.Make sure to follow I'm an Artist, Not a Salesman on your favorite podcast platform, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who needs it. You can connect with Luis Guzman and stay updated on new episodes through social media and the official podcast channels.
Nikola Mrkšić is the Co-Founder and CEO of PolyAI, one of the world's leading voice AI companies, helping enterprises automate customer service through conversational AI at massive scale.Before PolyAI, Nikola was a machine learning researcher and part of the team behind Siri. In this episode, he joins James to unpack what the world is only now starting to understand about voice AI, why most automation still misses the point, and how PolyAI has built a full stack enterprise product that goes far beyond simply reducing call queues.They discuss how PolyAI is used by major brands across hospitality, utilities, retail, banking and insurance, and why the real opportunity is not just handling calls, but turning the contact centre into an intelligence layer for the whole business. Nikola also explains why enterprise voice AI is harder than it looks, where the moat really sits, and why owning the models and the application layer matters.The conversation covers Siri, Gordon Ramsay, pricing power, Nvidia, enterprise stickiness, and what it takes to build a category leader from Europe.Topics include:Why Siri was too early for the vision it was aiming atWhy PolyAI focused on the step between clunky IVR and true AI assistantsHow voice AI can improve revenue, customer experience and operational insightWhy enterprise deployments become hard to rip outThe difference between real voice AI companies and wrappersWhether voice AI is becoming commoditisedHow PolyAI thinks about pricing, margins and defensibilityWhy Nikola believes many “AI companies” are borrowing from the futureGordon Ramsay as a customer and brand partnerNikola's future unicorn pick: Paid.ai
Episode 168: Tina Englisch and her book, Escaping the Sustainable Pain Zone: The Hidden Key To Designing the Life You're Meant to Live - in Health, Love and SuccessABOUT TINATina Englisch is an international speaker, performance coach, and author of Escaping the Sustainable Pain Zone. As a former pro athlete and Austria's first relationship coach, she has spent over a decade helping people break through internal limits and step into their next level of life. Tina is best known for her concept of the Sustainable Pain Zone — the invisible place where people stay functional, successful, and quietly unfulfilled. She has spoken on international stages, including Success Resources events, and has been featured on TV, podcasts, and in print media. With a background in elite performance, psychology, and stage presence, her work bridges mindset, action, and personal truth. Tina challenges the idea that comfort is safe — and shows why real change starts when you stop negotiating with what no longer fits. Her work speaks to those who sense there is more available to them — and are ready to act on it. She lives between Europe's major cities and works with clients worldwide.Conversation HighlightsThe concept of the sustainable pain zone—what it is and how it keeps us stuckWhy high achievers often diminish their accomplishments and struggle with fulfillmentTina's journey from Olympic success to inward self-discovery and the importance of adapting through life's challengesPractical steps to identify when you're in the sustainable pain zone and how to step outThe role of beliefs and mindset in transforming pain into growthHow simplifying routines and managing energy prevent burnout and foster creativityThe significance of boredom and downtime for enhanced innovationThe difference between the traditional "comfort zone" and Tina's redefined "sustainable pain zone”The MAIN QUESTION underlying my conversation with Tina is, How is what you have referred to as your comfort zone really been your Sustainable Pain Zone, where you're settling for unhappiness, frustration, or pain out of fear and familiarity?FIND TINALinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tinaenglisch/Website: www.tinaenglisch.comTina's Book: https://mybook.to/spzInstagram: @tinaenglischFacebook: www.facebook.com/tinaenglischLinkedIn - Full Podcast Article: CHAPTERS00:00 - The Book Leads - Tina Englisch00:58 - Introduction & Bio02:31 - Who are you today?

It's about how professionals stay relevant in a world where AI keeps raising the bar.If you're a CMO, marketer, or a business leader navigating AI disruption, this episode will challenge how you think about strategy, value, and the future of your role.

You've probably heard it before: don't hold your breath while pushing. Maybe you're holding onto that advice tightly as you prep for birth, especially if you've been practicing breathing techniques for labor ahead of time. We get it. And we want to give you the full picture.In this episode, Stephanie and Nikki sit down for an honest conversation about breathing, pushing, and what it actually looks like to move a baby through the pelvis in real time. This isn't about contradicting anyone's care team. It's about making sure you have context, not just a rule.We talk through:Why the "no breath-holding" guidance exists and where it comes fromWhat breathing techniques for labor work best at each stage of pushingHow pushing shifts as baby descends and crowning beginsWhy rigid advice can work against you in the momentWhat it looks like when every professional stays in their lane and refers outThe questions you should be asking your care team before your due dateThe pelvic floor therapy community does incredible work. And as doulas who attend births every single day, we bring a different lens. Not a competing one. A complementary one.Because birth requires responsiveness, not perfection.If you're preparing for the pushing phase and want to feel informed, flexible, and supported, this episode is for you.See more on the blog: https://www.how2mom.com/breathing-techniques-for-labor Thank you so much for listening to the Mom2Mom Podcast!

Everyone's talking about Substack — and maybe you're curious, a little skeptical, and 100% wondering if you actually need to add another platform to your already-full plate. (Spoiler: you don't need to. But you might want to after this.)In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on exactly how I grew my Substack, Beyond Business, to 1,000 subscribers using only organic strategies — no importing my 60,000+ person email list, no fancy custom design, no team of people building it out for me.

In this episode of Murder in the Black, we explore the heartbreaking story of 14-year-old Nacole Smith, a young girl with dreams of becoming a pediatrician who never made it to school on the morning of June 7, 1995.What began as a devastating crime in an Atlanta neighborhood would become a case that stretched across decades. Despite eyewitness descriptions, community efforts to identify a suspect, and early forensic evidence, investigators struggled to identify the man responsible.The case took a critical turn nearly nine years later, when 13-year-old Betty Brown survived a violent assault in East Point, Georgia. Betty's courage to report the attack and her detailed recollection of the man who assaulted her would ultimately connect the two cases through DNA evidence — revealing that the same offender had been living in the community for years.Through advances in forensic science, including DNA profiling, CODIS, and later genetic genealogy, investigators were eventually able to identify the suspect responsible for both crimes. But the resolution came with its own tragedy when the suspect died before he could face justice.In this episode we also introduce our True Crime in Current News segment, where we highlight cases currently unfolding that listeners have brought to our attention. In this episode we discuss several developing stories, including the disturbing discovery of two young girls found in suitcases in Cleveland, a Bronx double homicide connected to a domestic dispute, and a shocking case involving a former NFL player accused of killing his girlfriend and allegedly using ChatGPT in an attempt to research ways to cover up the crime.The life and dreams of Nacole SmithThe events of June 7, 1995, and the discovery of her murderEarly investigative leads and eyewitness descriptionsCommunity involvement and the circulation of the composite sketchSuspicion surrounding Jamar Hendrix and why resemblance to a sketch alone is not evidenceDNA evidence collected from the crime scene and its entry into CODISWhy CODIS searches sometimes return no matchThe 2002 jailhouse informant tip and why investigators ruled it outThe attack on Betty Brown and how her survival connected two crimesThe role of forensic science and genetic genealogy in solving cold casesThe identification of Kelvin Arnold decades laterThe emotional impact of the suspect dying before he could face justiceThe perseverance of investigators and the importance of survivor testimonyTrue Crime in Current News: listener-submitted cases and developing investigations00:00 – Introduction to Nacole Smith's case02:25 – Nacole's life, dreams, and family04:07 – The morning of June 7, 199507:26 – Discovery of the crime scene and evidence recovered09:55 – Witness descriptions and early suspect sketches11:42 – Community efforts and the composite sketch13:06 – Jamar Hendrix investigation and why he was ruled out14:37 – DNA evidence, CODIS, and investigative challenges17:31 – The 2002 jailhouse informant lead19:15 – The attack on Betty Brown in 200421:10 – DNA connection between Betty Brown's case and Nacole's murder25:20 – Advances in forensic science and genetic genealogy26:32 – Identification of Kelvin Arnold27:24 – Arnold's death before arrest in 202128:15 – Reflection on justice, persistence, and investigative tenacity35:02 – True Crime in Current News segment36:08 – Final thoughts and episode closeFollow + Support Murder in the Black
What really happens inside one of the most powerful companies in the world?This week, we sit down with Brian Boland, a former senior leader at Facebook (pre-Meta), who spent more than a decade helping build and scale Facebook and Instagram's advertising systems — and later testified in court about what he saw.Brian was in the courtroom for nearly five hours. In this candid conversation, he pulls back the curtain on:What it feels like to testify under oath against your former companyHow Meta's internal culture shifted after whistleblowers like Frances Haugen spoke outThe reality of Mark Zuckerberg's power inside the company — and why the board can't remove himHow algorithms are built, tested, and optimized — and why even engineers don't fully understand their long-term impactsWhether Meta is truly incentivized to limit teen usageThe truth about ad revenue from minorsHow accurate age-estimation technology really is — and why that mattersWhat whistleblowing actually costs the people who do itBrian doesn't call for the end of social media. In fact, he believes these platforms could be built to strengthen communities. But he's clear: the current incentives — profit, growth, daily active users — drive decisions that put engagement above safety.He also shares what he told executives, including Mark Zuckerberg, before he left — and the response he received.If you've ever wondered:Are these platforms intentionally habit-forming?Do they really know how young users are?Could they reduce harm if they wanted to?Why don't more insiders speak out?This episode is essential listening.It's a rare, inside look at how power, profit, algorithms, and accountability collide — and what it might actually take to force change.The Heat is On...Big Tech on Trial is an investigative mini-series by Scrolling 2 Death, in partnership with Heat Initiative.Video Editing expertly provided by Jacob Meade.Research mentioned in the episode: Social media platforms generate billions of dollars in revenue from U.S. youth: Findings from a simulated revenue model (Raffoul article)

In this final episode of our grief series, we explore what happens when love, connection, and aliveness begin to return after loss.For highly sensitive people, grief doesn't simply disappear. It moves through the nervous system. It narrows capacity, and it reorganizes attachment. And slowly — often almost imperceptibly — it widens again.In this episode, we explore:How attachment reorganizes after the death of a loved oneWhy the return of joy can feel vulnerable (and sometimes frightening)How grief and aliveness can coexist in the same bodyWhat it means for love to expand rather than disappearHow to stay open in a grieving world without burning outThe role of nervous system regulation in sustaining compassionIf you're wondering whether it's “okay” to feel connection again…If you're noticing small flickers of warmth returning…Or if you're trying to stay open in a world that feels heavy…This episode is a gentle reminder:You don't have to rush expansion, and you don't have to choose between grief and joy. Your nervous system is designed to reorganize.This episode is part of our 3-part series on grief and the nervous system:Grief Lives in the BodyCapacity, Protection & Regulation in GriefLove, Connection & Aliveness After LossIf this series has supported you, please consider sharing it with someone walking through their own season of grief.
One year after the Digital Operational Resilience Act (DORA) came into force, what has actually changed?In this follow-up episode of Reimagining Cyber, Rob Aragao welcomes back Dominic Brown of Graveslight Consulting to assess the reality of DORA in practice. Last time, the regulation was looming. Now, firms across the EU — and global financial institutions operating within it — have been living with it.The conversation explores:Why DORA was designed as a systemic risk regulation — not just a compliance exerciseWhere firms struggled during year one, from immature ICT governance to gaps between policy and practiceHow regulators have responded — and why patience may be running outThe impact of Level 2 Technical Standards, including threat-led penetration testing under the TIBER-EU methodologyWhat ICT third-party risk management really means for cloud providers and subcontracting chainsWhy resilience is becoming both a supervisory priority and a competitive differentiatorWhy DORA may set a precedent for future resilience regulation worldwideThe impact on organisations with a global footprintWith enforcement expectations rising and supervisory scrutiny intensifying, year two marks the shift from preparation to proof. Boards, CISOs, and technology providers alike will need to demonstrate that operational resilience works in practice — not just on paper.If year one was about Europe adapting to DORA, year two is about the world responding to it.As featured on Million Podcasts' Best 100 Cybersecurity Podcasts Top 50 Chief Information Security Officer CISO Podcasts Top 70 Security Hacking Podcasts This list is the most comprehensive ranking of Cyber Security Podcasts online and we are honoured to feature amongst the best!

Self-doubt, imposter syndrome, fear of visibility, for many women, these aren't small mindset hurdles. They're the invisible blocks that keep powerful stories unwritten and important voices unheard.In this week's episode of Uncomplicate It, I sit down with Nancy Marriott, writing coach, developmental editor, and co-author of the bestselling Molecules of Emotion. For nearly three decades, Nancy has helped women move from hesitation to authorship, guiding them through the internal resistance that shows up the moment they decide to play bigger.This conversation is part cultural unpacking, part mindset shift, and part practical roadmap for any woman who feels called to write… but keeps questioning whether she's “ready.”We dig into:Why imposter syndrome shows up so strongly for womenThe cultural conditioning that teaches women to stay smallTall poppy syndrome and the backlash that can come with standing outThe subtle language shift (from “we” to “you”) that transforms authority in writingWhy publishing a book instantly positions you as an authorityThe difference between fear of failure and fear of visibilityWhy commitment breaks self-doubt faster than confidence ever willHow to use AI as a tool without losing your authentic voiceWhy waiting until you feel ready is the real trapHow storytelling builds credibility, connection, and trustKey Takeaways:There's no such thing as “a writer”, only people brave enough to express their truthAuthority isn't given. It's claimed.Imposter syndrome is a story, and stories can be rewrittenVisibility requires courage, not perfectionIf you feel called to write, that call mattersConnect with Nancy:Website: www.nancymarriott.comLinkedin: www.linkedin.com/in/nancy-marriott-6791098/Follow Us:
