“Send Coach John a message”Well, it's the last day of 2025 and this little post that I found from Mark Hickie (@MPHickie) reminds us about our journey in life. He shares his thoughts: “A message for today … As 2025 comes to a close, take a moment to breathe. You made it through lessons you didn't always notice & strength you didn't always feel. If you're tired, you tried. If you're unsure, you're still becoming. The year ends—but your journey continues.”  The post he shares is from the Quotes Cafe that he shares something from every day. This one is: “As 2025 ends, take a quiet moment to breath. This year held struggles, lessons, and growth you didn't always notice - but you survived it all.  If you're tired, you tried. If you're unsure, you're still becoming.  Let go of what hurt, carry what taught you, and step into 2026 with a calmer heart and quiet hope. The year ends, but your journey continues.” This is a reminder that it's an every day item on my to do list. It's not just for a year. Breathing is always good. Learning lessons is always good. Putting in effort is always good. Find the little moments every day to connect with and build the life you want to build, each and every day you have.

Why Brand Can Make or Break Family Business Succession & Legacy In Episode 124 of The Family Biz Show, host Michael Palumbos welcomes back Megan Lynch of Six Point Strategy for a wide-ranging conversation that connects branding, trust, and reputation to the real drivers of Family business succession, Family business leadership, and long-term enterprise value. What makes this episode especially powerful is that Megan isn't approaching brand as "marketing"—she approaches it as an essential part of family business strategy, Legacy planning, and Business continuity for families. Megan shares how her firm originally focused on creative branding work, but as she stepped deeper into the family enterprise space—and became more intentional about Passing on the family business within her own journey—she recognized a key truth: family businesses operate under dynamics that traditional corporate strategy often fails to address. This is why working with a skilled Family Business Advisor or Family Business Consultant matters so much. Without the right lens, even "good ideas" can create harm, confusion, or conflict, especially during family business continuity planning. A Next-Gen Journey Into Family Enterprise Complexity Megan explains that as she started thinking about the future of Six Point Strategy and the transition of leadership, she joined a family business center for succession support. What she discovered quickly was that Family business succession isn't just a transaction or a timeline—it's emotional, relational, and deeply tied to identity. That's where the biggest insight comes in: family enterprises don't live in a vacuum. Ownership, management, and family relationships intersect constantly. So when a Family Business Consultant or Family Business Advisor recommends a new strategy or brand shift without understanding those intersections, it can destabilize trust, trigger resistance, and disrupt Business continuity for families. This is exactly why Megan describes family business work as a discipline—one that requires education, humility, and collaboration. She highlights that a financial advisor for family business or a family business wealth management advisor may be working on governance, capital, or transition planning at the same time that marketing or brand conversations are unfolding. If those advisors aren't aligned, the business and the family can pay the price. Why PPI Rendezvous Felt Like "Home" for a Family Business Advisor Mindset Michael and Megan discuss the Purposeful Planning Institute (PPI) Rendezvous in Denver, which Megan attended despite being the only "brand person" in the room. She describes the conference as a unique blend of academic curiosity and practical collaboration—where professionals openly share real examples, tools, and frameworks to improve how they serve families. This speaks directly to what families need today: a coordinated ecosystem of advisors, including the Family Business Advisor, Family Business Consultant, and trusted experts in governance, wealth, and transition. Families navigating family business legacy planning rarely have just one challenge at a time. They are dealing with succession, leadership development, reputation, rising-gen engagement, and often family business wealth management all at once. That's why the most effective outcomes happen when the advisor team thinks holistically and supports true family business continuity planning. The Cracker Barrel Lesson: Brand Isn't a Logo, But Logos Carry Meaning The episode pivots into a timely example: the "Cracker Barrel debacle," where a brand change sparked intense public backlash. Megan uses this moment to explain how people emotionally connect with symbols, especially nostalgic brands. The logo isn't the brand, but it becomes shorthand for what the brand represents—comfort, tradition, familiarity, and trust. For a family enterprise, this is a direct parallel: when long-standing brand elements change, stakeholders worry about deeper changes too. Megan calls this the "what else are we losing?" response. Customers and employees don't just react to design—they react to perceived shifts in trust and identity. This is why Family business leadership transitions and Family business succession must be approached with strategic communication and continuity. If leadership change is paired with sudden brand shifts, it can amplify uncertainty and weaken stakeholder confidence. Families focused on Business continuity for families must consider not only operational transition, but how reputation and brand signals communicate stability. Reputation as an Asset: The Hidden Value Families Must Protect One of the most valuable parts of the conversation is Megan's framing of reputation as a tangible asset. Many family owners intuitively know this: if you ask what their greatest assets are, they will often say "our reputation," "our relationships," and "the trust our customers have in us." That trust is brand equity—and it directly affects enterprise value. Megan explains that in business valuation, "intangible assets" often include brand power, customer relationships, intellectual property, and market positioning. Even if a family never sells the business, this still matters, because the business is often the family's largest asset and the central engine behind family business wealth management and long-term Legacy planning. In other words, the asset being transferred through Passing on the family business isn't just equipment, revenue, or real estate—it's also trust and goodwill. This is where the role of a Family Business Advisor becomes critical. A strong advisor helps families inventory and protect the intangible value that supports family business legacy planning, family office legacy planning, and strategic transition. The Three Brand Pillars That Strengthen Continuity and Transferability Megan outlines three practical pillars that help a business build brand equity and prepare for generational transfer. These pillars are especially relevant for a family business succession planning advisor or a Family Business Consultant supporting long-term continuity: 1) Transferability Does trust live only with the founder or leading generation? Or does it live within the company itself? If reputation is tied to one person, succession becomes fragile. Strong transferability supports family business to new generation transitions and reduces the "key person risk" that threatens Business continuity for families. 2) Systemization Is the brand experience consistent? Are communication systems documented? Are brand standards and customer experiences repeatable? Systemization helps the business maintain continuity when leadership changes, which is essential for family business continuity planning and Family business leadership development. 3) Voice of the Customer Do you regularly collect customer feedback, surface insights, and operationalize them? Megan notes that many family companies say they "know their customers," but don't systematize that knowledge. Capturing and using customer insight strengthens brand equity and gives future leaders a clear roadmap for protecting trust. These pillars connect directly to family office explained thinking: families who operate with a family business family office mindset often seek structured processes, measurable systems, and continuity planning that outlasts any one person. This is where family business family office advice becomes highly relevant, particularly when brand and reputation are part of the family's long-term wealth and continuity strategy. Culture Made Visible: Why Brand Is a Leadership Issue Michael and Megan reinforce that brand is essentially culture made visible. If culture is unclear, inconsistent, or undocumented, it becomes difficult to transfer. That's why families must articulate vision, purpose, and values in ways that employees and customers can repeat easily. Megan offers a sharp test: can employees and customers explain your strategy in one sentence? If not, you risk becoming a "best kept secret"—and your team won't be aligned. For a Family Business Advisor, this is a crucial leadership and continuity issue. A cohesive internal culture is the foundation for Family business leadership and the consistency needed for Family business succession. This also ties into family office strategy: families building a multi-generational enterprise want more than profit—they want shared values, shared identity, and a legacy story that carries forward. That's why brand and culture are directly connected to Legacy planning and family office legacy planning. Rising Gen Engagement: The Two Gateways to Continuity When the conversation turns toward next-gen stewardship, Megan identifies two powerful pathways for engaging the rising generation and strengthening Business continuity for families: Brand Education Start early. Teach the next generation what the business stands for, who it serves, and why it matters. This supports a smoother transition from family business to new generation, especially in cousin consortium stages where some owners may not work in the operating company. When the rising generation understands the brand and legacy, they're more likely to become responsible stewards—and not accidental risk points (especially in today's social-media environment). Strategic Philanthropy Megan emphasizes that philanthropy can connect values, community relationships, and reputation. Michael builds on this idea by describing philanthropy as "the sandbox for entrepreneurship and leadership." It teaches communication, decision-making, collaboration, and gratitude—skills that reduce entitlement and strengthen long-term family business legacy planning. For families working with a Family Business Advisor or financial advisor for family business, philanthropy can become a structured training ground that supports governance, next-gen development, and even public reputation—an underrated asset in family business continuity planning. The Big Takeaway: The Brand Is Part of the Legacy This episode makes one message crystal clear: brand, reputation, and trust are not surface-level marketing decisions. They are legacy assets. They are continuity tools. They are governance tools. They are the human infrastructure that determines whether leadership changes feel stable or disruptive. Families who want to succeed in Passing on the family business must treat brand and culture with the same seriousness they treat financial statements, legal structures, and ownership plans. A well-rounded advisor team—including a Family Business Advisor, Family Business Consultant, family business wealth management advisor, and a family business succession planning advisor—can help families align strategy, strengthen trust, and protect the enterprise for the next generation. Ultimately, this is what Business continuity for families looks like: continuity of leadership, continuity of culture, continuity of reputation, and continuity of purpose—supported by clear systems, aligned strategy, and thoughtful Legacy planning.

Nine Simple Practices That Strengthen Relationships Summary In Episode #99 of the Human Intimacy Podcast, Dr. Kevin Skinner and MaryAnn Michaelis celebrate their 99th episode by sharing nine powerful practices couples can use to strengthen connection, deepen trust, and build meaningful intimacy. Each principle is grounded in years of clinical experience, neuroscience, and relationship research—while remaining practical and accessible for real-life relationships. Together they explore why emotional safety is the foundation of all connection, the importance of ownership over blame, and how consistent attunement builds emotional closeness. They emphasize spending intentional time together, rebuilding trust through small daily actions, learning to emotionally regulate before communicating, and facing—not avoiding—conflict. They also highlight how positive relational interactions nurture bonding and why dreaming and planning for the future together creates shared hope and purpose. Listeners are encouraged to start small, picking one area to work on, knowing that meaningful relationships are built one intentional step at a time.

“Send Coach John a message”Sitting here with my co-producer on my lap (our dog), I'm thinking about it being the end of another year and what is coming in the next year. So many thoughts going through my mind, but everyone's mind.  For me this is tying into my “one word” for 2026. It's not the only word I will focus in on, but it will be one that will be connected to me more. It's really two words, but I'll call it one. “Focus” is the one word - and the second one that is connected to it - “Intentional”.  This one word idea comes from Jon Gordon (@jongordon11) and his book “One Word” (@GetOneWord) and Getoneword.com  This has to be a day by day choice. Moment by moment, and I know I need to put the work in on this more than simply talking about it. The first connection to this episode comes from Essential Mastery (@EssentialMastry) where this thought was shared and got my attention: “The most valuable asset you own isn't money. It's the ability to think clearly in a world designed to confuse you. Mental clarity is wealth.” This is spot on for me as I've struggled with it throughout my life. A second connection to this episode comes from Dear Self (@Dearme2_) where this very simple post got my attention - “2026 will be different. No more repeated cycles. It's time to grow.” Again, my “focus” should be on the moment to moment, day to day, growth that I need to connect with; not just the entire new year.  There is actually a third connection that I reposted just before this one from “Dear Self”. It comes from Your Best Version (@YourPrimePath) where this is shared: “Stick to the plan. Not your mood.” Way too often I let my mood dictate my thoughts and actions in particular moments. Even as I write this out and prepare to record, I'm catching my mind wanting to take me in other directions. It's awesome to be able to catch those moments and change the direction of my thoughts. Well, all I can say is it's great to connect with this as I look ahead to the new year. The year that I'll be turning 60.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

“Send Coach John a message”Well, the final piece is here. “Be flexible.” Changing our habits is not easy, it's hard work. But having a little flexibility sure can help us make the changes that will work for us. Love this quote from the poet John Dryden - “We first make our habits, and then our habits make us.” If we are a bit more flexible, we can help ourselves find out what works for us. It's part of the journey of finding out how to connect a bit better with our new habits. I must admit for myself that anytime I can be a bit more flexible in life, things go a bit better compared to if I'm not flexible. It's good advice for many things in life.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

In this episode of The Ross Simmonds Show, Ross dives into one of the most common yet damaging habits of leaders: micromanagement. While founders and leaders often express the desire for team members who “act like owners,” their own behavior can stifle that very ownership. Ross explores the concept of the "Ownership Window," offering a strategic framework for when leaders should be hands-on and when to step back. He breaks down the fine line between leadership and control, examines the stages of team empowerment, and provides actionable insights for creating a company culture rooted in autonomy, accountability, and trust. Key Takeaways and Insights: 1. The Ownership Paradox - Leaders say they want ownership but often undermine it with controlling behaviors. - A lack of delegation leads to decision bottlenecks and ruins team morale. 2. The Downside of Micromanagement - Suck energy out of teams. - Kill trust, decision-making, and momentum. - Be mistaken for productivity from the leader's perspective. 3. The “Ownership Window” Framework - New Hire or New System (High Support Needed): Provide clarity, oversight, and a tight feedback loop. Avoid guesswork by implementing SOPs, training, and checkpoints. - New Initiative (Strategic Oversight Needed): Leaders act more as advisors than operators. Maintain checkpoints without hovering. - Proven Leader (High Trust & Autonomy): Align on outcomes, then step back. Focus on results, not the method of execution. 4. Coaching vs. Controlling - Coaching is intentional and supportive. - Controlling is reactive and born out of ego or fear. - Leadership requires adjusting engagement based on team maturity and context. 5. Redefining Ownership in Leadership - Clear expectations of what great looks like. - Accountability for outcomes, not just tasks. - Autonomy to decide how work gets done. —

On this episode of The Danza Project, Danza sits down with JR Writer, Hell Rell, and Duke Da God for an in-depth conversation on Dipset's legacy, ownership, and the evolution of hip-hop culture. The Harlem and Bronx representatives reflect on their rise during the mixtape era, the realities of navigating the music industry, and the long-term impact of Dipset on New York rap. They speak candidly about being counted out rather than left out, reclaiming ownership of their music, and why this current chapter is about control, longevity, and respect... not nostalgia. Throughout the interview, they discuss: The origins of Dipset and how the movement was built from the ground up The importance of owning masters and learning the business side of music How hip-hop culture has shifted from authenticity to entertainment The changing perception of street credibility and accountability in rap Internal politics, reunions, and how narratives around Dipset are often misunderstood Discovering producer A-Trak at a young age and early creative collaborations Why Double Trouble represents growth, independence, and unfinished business This episode offers a rare, first-hand perspective from artists who helped define an era and continue to shape the culture on their own terms.

Send us a textThis one I know will help me as I know I need to “Focus on one habit at a time.” I usually focus on many things at once and really none of them get accomplished. If they do, it takes a long time and probably it's not done as well as if I focused on just that. It's the same principle of focusing on small, simple things - uncomplicating it from becoming too large or too many. We can build many new habits if we focus on one at a time. Love this quote from the book on this one - “It's easy to keep adding one new habit at a time, but it's almost impossible to focus on many new habits at once.” That is something for me to zero in on me for sure.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

Joined this week by the one and only Anthony “AC” Casanas, and it was an amazing conversation! We started out by discussing firehouse culture and how he learned all about it long before he was ever a firefighter.  Why younger members need something real to emulate, and how social media can be either an incredible tool or an incredible hindrance. And so much more! Of course all of this was beautifully derailed by the amazing questions from the audience as usual!!

Send us a textAs I record this one - “Post a reminder of your commitment to your new, healthy habit”, I know I need to go do this. I need to have little written notes set for myself. I have one in my daily devotional book, which I read every day. I love what Sam Crowley says - “writing is the doing part of thinking.” I sure do think a lot. It's time for me to “do” more with my thinking. It's always about taking action and these little postings - remember, they are in my own writing - they are to myself! Nobody else sees them. It's me to me. Simple for all of us to do - but only if we actually do it does it become simple. I need to commit to this and I will do it.  Hope you find this one good for you too.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.  ** I would appreciate anyone to try clicking on the top of the show notes where it says "Send us a text" to leave a few thoughts / comments / questions.  It's a new feature that I'd like to see how it works. **

The Old Money Rules Are Broken  Here's What Actually Works Now Most people are still following financial advice that was designed for a world that no longer exists. Save your money. Get a degree. Work for forty years. Retire if nothing goes wrong. In this episode, I walk you through why that playbook is broken and what the new money rules look like in today's economy. We break down the shift from saving to ownership, from jobs to skills, from "someday" to designing freedom now, and from waiting to moving while things are still messy. Using real examples and simple math, you'll see why safety-focused advice often creates long-term stress instead of freedom. If your money feels stuck, outdated, or misaligned with the life you want this episode is your wake-up call. Episode Timeline and Highlights [0:00] Why old money rules don't work anymore [1:15] Saving vs ownership [4:00] Jobs, skills, and leverage [6:00] The problem with delaying life [8:00] Why waiting keeps people broke [10:00] How to update your financial playbook [12:00] What to do next Key Takeaways • Saving doesn't build wealth—ownership does • Income without leverage creates dependence • Time is the most expensive thing you lose • Freedom is designed, not delayed • Clarity comes from action, not overthinking Quotables "Saving doesn't build wealth. Ownership does." "If your plan depends on surviving forty years of stress, it's broken." "Clarity is earned through movement—not waiting." Closing If your financial strategy feels outdated, don't beat yourself up. Just update the rules you're playing by.

Points of Interest00:00 – 01:38 – Introduction: Marcel welcomes agency legal specialist Sharon Toerek, highlighting her long track record in the industry and setting the stage with a discussion about how quickly the agency world is changing.01:38 – 02:45 – Framing the AI Legal Conversation for Agencies: They position the core topic of the episode as the legal implications of AI adoption inside agencies, especially when serving enterprise clients with sensitive data and heightened risk concerns.02:45 – 05:03 – The Two Biggest AI Risk Buckets: IP and Data Privacy: Sharon identifies intellectual property and data privacy as the top two legal risk areas agencies must consider when using generative AI in strategy, creation, and data manipulation.05:03 – 08:11 – IP Infringement, Ownership, and Contract Clarity: She explains how generative AI can inadvertently infringe on others' IP, complicate ownership of deliverables, and increase the need for explicit AI usage and ownership language in MSAs and SOWs.08:11 – 10:23 – Agency-Created IP and Contractor Use of AI: Sharon explores the risks of building agency-owned IP with AI when ownership is uncertain, and stresses the importance of knowing how contractors use AI so their work aligns with promises made to clients.10:23 – 15:11 – The State of Case Law and Fair Use Signals: They discuss how little case law exists around AI, what early decisions suggest about training data and fair use, and why we still do not know how much human contribution is needed to secure protectable IP.15:11 – 18:26 – Blurring Lines Between Human and Machine-Created Work: Marcel and Sharon reflect on how modern creative tools embed AI in everyday workflows, making it harder to distinguish human-made from machine-generated content for legal and practical purposes.18:26 – 22:40 – A Practical Playbook for Reducing AI Legal Risk: Sharon outlines concrete steps agencies can take now: have AI conversations with clients, update contracts, understand tool terms, set internal and external AI policies, and right-size risk based on audience scale.22:40 – 26:05 – Where Insurance Fits in the AI Risk Equation: They examine how general liability, E&O, and cyber policies currently treat AI-related issues, and why insurers are likely to carve out or slowly add AI-specific coverage as risks and profits emerge.26:05 – 30:31 – Market Volatility, AI Shock, and Rising Agency M&A: Sharon connects AI disruption, economic uncertainty, and geopolitical tension to a surge in small and mid-size agency deals, noting many founders are simply tired of reinventing their businesses again.30:31 – 35:40 – IP as a Lever in Exits and Next Career Moves: She makes the case that agencies who develop and package their own IP create more options in M&A, whether selling IP separately, splitting the business, or using it to launch the next chapter of their careers.Show NotesInnovative Agency PodcastWebsite: legalandcreative.comLinkedIn - Sharon ToerekM&A Webinar Replay with SharonLove the PodcastLeave us a review here.

Send us a textFor the second part of this series, Coach John Wooden reminds us “when you set too challenging a goal, you set yourself up for failure.” Again, it's the small changes that are key. This is not saying to not have BIG goals and plans, but… keep in mind the process (the little steps) to get there.  Little steps help us to keep the good habits going for a longer period of our lives. Keep working. Keep believing.  New one coming at you tomorrow.  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Send us a textFound another series to share for you. When I ran across this from the book: “Coach Wooden's Greatest Secret: The Power of a Lot of Little Things Done Well”, by Pat Williams with Jim Denney. It's all about building healthy habits.  Find a link for the book HERE. (you can find it in many different places)  It starts off by reminding us that the best way to replace a bad habit is to replace it with a good habit.  These  eight parts remind us that it's tough to try and simply get rid of a bad habit by willpower alone.  What I'm sharing with you starting today is all about principles to keep in mind as we replace unhealthy habits with good habits.  The first is to focus on little things.  Instead of making huge changes in our lives, find small manageable tasks to focus on that lead us to the changes we want. I have always looked ahead a bit too much to the ending that I want. Then it becomes difficult, challenging and frustrating because my focus is not on the first step I need to take, but what's at the finish line. The more I read these, the more fired up I got. I hope this happens to you as well during the next few episodes.   Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

Starting with zero salary while working nights as a waiter, he funded growth by convincing suppliers to extend £100k monthly credit through radical transparency. His philosophy: "Your business is your soul, your heart. Don't give it away too easily."From his 400-acre farm supplying beef to his hotels, to using venues as R&D labs for drinks innovation, Steve's vertical integration proves you don't need London to build global brands.

Big O talks Great Ownership 121925

What happens when artificial intelligence moves faster than our ability to understand, verify, and trust it? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I sit down with Alexander Feick from eSentire, a cybersecurity veteran who has spent more than a decade working at the intersection of complex systems, risk, and emerging technology. Alex leads eSentire Labs, where his team explores how new technologies can be secured before they quietly become load-bearing parts of modern business infrastructure. Our conversation centers on a timely and uncomfortable reality. AI is being embedded into workflows, products, and decision-making systems at a pace most organizations are not prepared for. Alex explains why many AI failures are not caused by malicious models or dramatic breaches, but by broken ownership, invisible dependencies, and a lack of ongoing verification. These are not technical glitches. They are organizational blind spots that quietly compound risk over time. We also explore the ideas behind Alex's recently published book on trust and AI, which he made freely available due to the speed at which real-world AI failures were already overtaking theory. From prompt injection and model drift to the dangers of treating non-deterministic systems as if they were predictable software, Alex shares why generative AI requires a fundamentally different security mindset. He draws a clear distinction between chatbot AI and embedded AI, and explains the moment where trust quietly shifts away from humans and into systems that cannot take accountability. The discussion goes deeper into what trust actually means in an AI-driven organization. Alex argues that trust must be earned, measured, and monitored continuously, not assumed after a successful pilot. Verification becomes the real work, not generation, and leaders who fail to recognize that shift risk scaling errors faster than they can contain them. We also talk about why he turned his book into an AI advisor, what that experiment revealed about the limits of models, and why human responsibility cannot be automated away. This is a grounded, practical conversation for leaders, technologists, and anyone deploying AI inside real organizations. If AI is becoming part of how decisions get made where you work, how confident are you that someone truly owns the outcome?

Super powerful and inspiring post I found from Motivational Quotes (@motivational) “Never trust your fears; they don't know your strength.”  WOW… did I need to connect with this. My fears have had more of a driver's seat in my life than I care to admit and in driving “my bus”, when picking up my strengths at the different bus stops - many times they force my strengths to sit in the back of the bus or they never even stopped to pick them up!!  It's time for me to stop my bus (my life's journey) - not totally kick my fears off the bus because they are who I am in many ways. Maybe just have them sit in a seat behind me - buckled in… keep a few seats around them open for now so they don't influence “anyone else”. Life's journey is never dull when you take a look at yourself in the mirror and find the MANY things to keep working on to improve. So many things get better when we try to improve and be the best we can be!  Thanks for listening.  Please take a few moments to subscribe & share this with someone, also leave a 5 Star rating on Apple Podcasts and ITunes or other services where you find this show.  Find me on Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/coachtoexpectsuccess/   on Twitter / “X”:  @coachtosuccess   and on Instagram at:  @coachjohndaly  - My YouTube Channel is at: Coach John Daly.   Email me at: CoachJohnDalyPodcast@gmail.com     You can also head on over to https://www.coachtoexpectsuccess.com/ and get in touch with me there on my homepage along with checking out my Top Book list too.  Other things there on my site are being worked on too.  Please let me know that you are reaching out to me from my podcast.

A Trapped Buyer is somebody moving off emotion instead of wisdom, staring at a chart like it is gonna save them. That is desperation, not Strategy. And understand this, that same spirit been hunting us long before the stock market. Trapped in the hood, trapped in poverty, trapped in jail cells, trapped in mental prisons. A system designed to keep you chasing instead of building. The market only exposes what life already revealed. When you lack discipline, you buy tops. When you lack patience, you sell bottoms. That is not a trading problem, that is a character problem. But once your mind get free, your money follow. Once you get knowledge, the trap break. The market stop being gambling and start being divine order. Numbers become language. Charts become truth. And you realize wealth is not luck, it alignment. That is when you stop being a Trapped buyer and start moving like somebody who understands Power, Purpose, and Ownership.Trapped Buyers | Wallstreet Trapper (Episode 172) Trappin TuesdaysJoin our Exclusive Patreon!!!

Then Tracy Perlman joins the show - is cash an acceptable holiday gift? 4pm Hour: Jason Sole joins the show to talk about his journey from prison to pardon - which he received today. Then we play back a portion of Tom Pohlad's interview with Chad - are fans willing to give the new arrangement a chance? 5pm Hour: On the DeRush-Hour, Jason goes "In Depth" with John Wolhaupter from the Anoka-Hennepin teachers union about their strike vote. Then what's grinding your gears this week? It's time to vent on ENOUGH!!!

Joined this week by the one and only Kyle Shuford, and we kicked it off by discussing getting outside your bubble to train and why it matters.   Remembering the why. Work-life balance, mental health and staying in love with the job. How passion and leadership go hand in hand in the greatest job on earth. Of course all of this is just what we had planned and it was derailed by the beautiful questions from the audience to make sure we could not cover everything!!!!
