Podcasts about pain points

The LA Superior Court is the largest single unified trial court in the United States, serving the approximately 10 million residents of Los Angeles County—the cases it handles spanning a wide range of legal matters, from civil cases to criminal cases, family law, and juvenile matters.As the state and county have grown, so has demand on the legal system. Access to justice—the inability for Americans to find and/or afford legal representation—has been called a crisis. What does that mean? What can be done about it?Stanford Law School's Deborah L. Rhode Center on the Legal Profession and Legal Design Lab released a groundbreaking diagnostic report in April that outlines a blueprint for creating more innovative, modern, and accessible courts. The report marks a significant milestone in the unique partnership established in January 2024 between the Superior Court of Los Angeles County (the Court – SCLAC) and Stanford Law School. Created in collaboration with court leadership, frontline court staff, and community partners, the findings of the Stanford report demonstrate the Court's commitment to enhancing the self-represented litigant experience and its dedication to leading in justice innovation.Our guests joining Pam Karlan for this episode include Stanford Law Professor David Freeman Engstrom, the co-director of the Rhode Center whose work focuses on access to justice in the millions of low-dollar but highly consequential cases, including debt collection, eviction, foreclosure, and child support actions, that shape the lives of Americans each year;  Margaret Hagan, the executive director of the Legal Design Lab at Stanford Law School whose researches, designs, and develops new ways to make the U.S. civil justice system work better for people; and Daniel Bernal, associate director of research at the Rhode Center whose work explores the intersection of civil procedure and access to justice, with a focus on designing and testing innovations to make state courts work better for people. Links:David Freeman Engstrom  >>> Stanford Law pageMargaret Hagan  >>> Stanford Law pageDaniel Bernal  >>> Stanford Law pageA Blueprint for Expanding Access to Justice in Los Angeles Superior Court's Eviction Docket  >>>  Stanford Law pageConnect:Episode Transcripts >>> Stanford Legal Podcast WebsiteStanford Legal Podcast >>> LinkedIn PageRich Ford >>>  Twitter/XPam Karlan >>> Stanford Law School PageStanford Law School >>> Twitter/XStanford Lawyer Magazine >>> Twitter/X(00:00:00) Introductions and Tour of the LA Superior Court(00:21:25) Use of Technology and the Pain Points in Court Systems (00:27:25) National Implications of Court Innovations (00:33:00 Court as a Central Hub for Legal Problem-Solving (00:35:04) Collaboration and Future Prospects

In the final message of our Pain Points series, Pastor Ike Miller explores how emotional and spiritual maturity go hand in hand. Through Jesus' vulnerability in John 20, we discover that healing relationships requires compassion, courage, and the willingness to be emotionally honest—with ourselves, with others, and with God.

Treating pain without seeing the full picture is like fixing a leaky pipe without checking the water supply for the real issue.   Dr. Andrew Fix shares a story about a patient who followed all the rules of rehab but still couldn't shake her knee pain. Months of physical therapy focused on the joint itself, yet her mobility was limited and the discomfort persisted. Why wasn't it working?   As it turns out, the problem wasn't only in her knee. Her hip and ankle on the same side were stiff and weak, issues no one had looked at before. Dr. Fix explains how a more thorough, full-body assessment changed the course of her care and revealed what had likely contributed to the pain all along.   If you're dealing with lingering pain or stuck progress, this episode is a reminder to zoom out. Are we really treating the cause, or just the symptom? For physical therapy to be effective, the whole body has to be part of the conversation.   Quotes “Sometimes we don't do quite as thorough of an evaluation on those people because we're just so focused on the surgery that they just had.” (04:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “What we found was that she has a significantly stiffened hip on the same side, that same leg, the left side, compared to the other hip. Her ankle, super stiff on that left side compared to the other side. And of course, that's the side that she's still having knee pain on.” (05:01 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “We cannot look at this person, this individual, because they had a knee surgery, just like we need to rehab their knee. We need to think about how this interacts and how this plays with the entire body.” (07:37 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “It's not rocket science, right? If we have pain in a joint, we can't just look at that joint. We need to look above. We need to look below.” (09:53 | Dr. Andrew Fix) “You can't treat issues in a vacuum because otherwise you're going to have results that are in a vacuum that aren't going to expand to be widespread positive changes.” (10:31 | Dr. Andrew Fix)   Links SideKick Tool: https://bit.ly/4a6CqJS   Movemate:

Tune into our weekly LIVE Mastermind Q+A Podcast for expert advice, peer collaboration, and actionable insights on success in the Probate, Divorce, Late Mortgage/Pre-Foreclosure and Aged Expired niches!Today's episode of the All The Leads Mastermind podcast began with a discussion on executor liability, covering the limited legal risks involved and emphasizing transparency, timely action, and the importance of distinguishing administrative guidance from legal advice. The conversation moved into strategies for avoiding liability, including documenting decisions and working closely with probate attorneys, especially in markets with higher litigation risk. The group then tackled challenges around reverse mortgages in probate, particularly in California, noting automatic foreclosure timelines and the need for clear communication with heirs. This led to a deeper dive into navigating attorney resistance when a personal representative wants to work with an agent the attorney hasn't chosen. Coaches advised agents to maintain strong client relationships, remain professional, and take a long-term view on building trust with attorneys. Later, the hosts outlined the essential vendor network categories every probate agent should develop: white-collar professionals, blue-collar service providers, and niche specialists like estate sale companies and appraisers. The episode concluded with a heartfelt discussion about a new agent's commission dispute, offering broader lessons on setting expectations, respecting mentorship, and maintaining a resilient mindset early in your career.Previous episodes: AllTheLeads.com/probate-mastermindInterested in Leads?

Curtis Thomson is something of a systems whisperer for industries bogged down by manual processes. Having cut his teeth in the construction world and then co-founding and scaling the field service management software Simpro across the globe, he witnessed firsthand how disjointed systems and repetitive tasks can drain businesses and the people within them. He saw friends in the trades working grueling hours only to face business failure and personal hardship, sparking a passion to solve these efficiency problems with technology. Now, Curtis brings his outsider perspective and deep experience in streamlining complex operations to the property management sector with Our Property. Property management, as he notes, is rife with accepted pain points—manual trust accounting, compliance burdens, endless maintenance cycles, and the thankless task of arrears management. Thomson sees a future where technology handles the "donkey work", allowing property managers to escape mediocrity and focus on high-value activities like building relationships and growing portfolios. The conversation dives into the practical application of automation and AI to solve core property management challenges. It's not just about surface-level fixes, but fundamentally rethinking processes like trust accounting, maintenance coordination, and even arrears collection to build more resilient, efficient, and ultimately more human-centric property management businesses. Breaking Free from "How It's Always Been Done"—The Inertia Problem A recurring theme is the industry's tendency to stick with outdated processes simply because "that's the way we've always done it". Curtis argues this isn't unique to property management but a common human trait. He shared an anecdote about a customer acknowledging their agency hadn't changed in 20 years and was actively trying to reconfigure. Escaping this inertia requires honestly evaluating which tasks add value versus which are just "busy work". Curtis notes, "A lot of the time it's just, we just keep doing it this way because it's just the way we've always done it". He stresses the importance of questioning processes: "Are you adding value to the conversation with the landlord right now? Are you adding value to the tenancy right now? Like, is it, is this good for the customer? Is this good for the business? If not, Why are you doing that?". Trust Accounting Reimagined—Automating Compliance and Reducing Risk Trust accounting has always been a major compliance headache. Thomson explains how Our Property integrates the trust account differently, automating many manual reconciliation and disbursement tasks. This approach aims to eliminate human error and the associated risks, effectively outsourcing the compliance burden. Untangling Maintenance—Coordination Through Automation Maintenance is another area plagued by inefficiency. It involves numerous moving parts: capturing requests, coordinating trades, getting approvals, managing quotes, and handling keys. Thomson highlights the potential for automation to manage these complex workflows based on predefined rules and landlord preferences. He points out the absurdity of manual follow-ups: "Why am I having to chase the trade to bring the keys back? Can't the systems just do that for me?". Technology can handle routing emergency jobs, managing quote requirements, and even suggesting trades based on performance data, freeing property managers from constant chasing. Personalised Arrears Management—AI as the 'Bad Cop' Nobody enjoys chasing arrears. Curtis sees AI as perfectly suited to handle this often unpleasant task, moving beyond generic templates to personalised communication campaigns based on tenant behaviour and communication history. The system can determine each individual's best messaging style (soft or firm) and channel (email or SMS). When a human intervention is needed,

Emergency rooms are overwhelmed, not just by medical crises, but by the fallout of systemic failures. A growing number of patients are showing up with issues rooted in poverty, housing instability, and food insecurity. AI is helping change that. By connecting underserved patients to billions in unclaimed public benefits, new tools are offering a path to preventative care that begins outside the hospital walls. Dr. Alister Martin explains how AI is being used to bridge the gap between policy and care, reduce avoidable ER visits, and ease pressure on a healthcare system that spends billions treating conditions that could be prevented. When patients get access to the support they already qualify for, outcomes improve - and so does the bottom line.

Are pediatricians prepared for the mental health crisis that's impacting so many of our children today?In this episode of Pediatric Meltdown, host Dr. Lia Gaggino sits down with nationally recognized child psychiatrist and podcast host Dr. Elise Fallucco to uncover the urgent realities facing pediatric practice. From understanding why a simple podcast name change can transform the reach of critical mental health education, to exploring the real-world, stepwise journey pediatricians navigate when facing complex child anxiety and medication management, this episode is a masterclass in practical empowerment. Listeners will discover actionable strategies for burnout, the evolving landscape of pediatric mental health treatment, and authentic stories of resilience, support, and resourcefulness. The stakes have never been higher—and the need to equip pediatric clinicians with the right knowledge and mindset is more critical than ever. Don't miss this invigorating roadmap for providing exceptional care in panicked times.[00:02 - 05:46] Branding, Access, and Reaching Pediatric CliniciansPediatric mental health education is increasingly being disseminated beyond in-person local trainings, leveraging digital platforms like podcasts to amplify access and reach.Clear, descriptive branding ensures the right clinicians can find mental health resources at the exact moment they need support in practice.The main driver in choosing content is what pediatricians most urgently seek: practical, actionable advice about managing medications for anxiety and ADHD.Making specialized knowledge accessible via on-demand, digestible podcast episodes empowers clinicians to feel less isolated and more competent.[05:47 - 13:30] The Ongoing Challenge of Anxiety, Burnout, and Self-CareAnxiety has emerged as the most common and burdensome mental health concern for children, exacerbated by societal stress and recent global events.Differentiating normal anxiety from clinical anxiety is crucial: functional impairment and life disruption are key markers for escalated intervention.Coping strategies for clinicians are vital; the “three pillars” are staying busy with purposeful activity, reaffirming personal/professional mission, and prioritizing self-care.Peer connection, exercise, and carving out time for meaningful relationships are highlighted as essential personal de-stressors.[13:31 - 25:00] Building Skill, Facing Complexity, and the Realities of CarePediatricians experience a four-stage progression from fear and avoidance to high-confidence care in managing pediatric mental health—each with unique challenges and rewards.Access limitations to child psychiatry have forced primary care clinicians to expand their skillsets and comfort zones, often out of necessity.Collaborative consultation programs, like psychiatric access hotlines, accelerate learning, build confidence, and foster an environment where sharing expertise is normalized.Developing fluency with diagnoses and medication management leads to more effective and streamlined care; “herd immunity” and practice culture shifts increase collective capacity.[25:01 - 36:05] Pain Points, Solutions, and Sustaining Progress in Pediatric Mental HealthBarriers to therapy—including logistics, family skepticism, and stigma—limit effective care, even as access improves; motivational interviewing is a partial solution but not a panacea.Integrated behavioral health models and school-based clinics offer promising solutions by reducing friction and meeting children and families where they are.Time constraints and misaligned incentives remain top frustrations; procedures are often reimbursed more than complex mental health care, despite the latter's intensity and impact.Empathy,...

Send us a textChildhood trauma doesn't have to define your future—it can become the catalyst for profound transformation. Spiritual psychologist Patricia Noel shares her remarkable journey from surviving severe childhood trauma and losing two sisters to addiction and suicide to becoming a beacon of healing for others around the world.Patricia reveals a game-changing approach to processing emotional triggers: when you experience a visceral reaction, trace it back to your earliest childhood memory of feeling that same way, then comfort that younger version of yourself. This practice allows you to rewire neural pathways that have been running on outdated programming for decades. "Don't waste a good trigger," she advises, "because they are your path to healing and freedom."The conversation explores how psychedelic-assisted therapy can accelerate healing by allowing access to parts of ourselves traditional therapy might take years to reach. Using the metaphor of "opening all the tabs on your computer," Patricia explains how these experiences help process and integrate traumatic memories that run in the background of our lives. She addresses common misconceptions about psychedelics, emphasizing the importance of proper guidance and setting.Most powerfully, Patricia demonstrates that our trauma responses aren't random—they're predictable patterns stemming from our earliest experiences. Whether it's fear of abandonment, perfectionism, or chronic anxiety, these protective mechanisms served us as children but often limit us as adults. Through her work in Africa with orphaned children and with high-performing individuals hitting invisible ceilings in their lives, she shows that the path to freedom lies in compassionate self-understanding.What if your dream life is just a few feet away, but you're being held back by experiences you've framed as happening "to" you rather than "for" you? Patricia's story proves that no matter what circumstances you've lived through, healing is possible and the life you envision is within reach—if you're willing to do the work.Thank you for tuning in!

In this podcast episode of Palisades Gold Radio, your host Tom Bodrovics welcomes back Michael Oliver from Momentum Structural Analysis. A length discussion on the outlook for silver and gold, stock market trends, and broader economic factors ensues. Oliver explains his $250 target for silver as realistic, noting historical precedents where silver outperformed gold during bull markets. He highlights the spread between silver and gold, emphasizing that silver could reach 2% of gold's price, a significant move from its current level of around 1.13%. This would translate to a substantial increase in silver prices if gold rises significantly. Oliver believes gold will lead the way up but notes silver and gold miners may outperform due to their lower valuations relative to gold. He shows charts indicating gold's strength against the S&P 500, with gold currently at about 45% of the index compared to a peak of 60%. Gold's momentum remains strong despite minor pullbacks. Oliver warns that the stock market bubble is set to burst. He expects asset managers to shift funds into gold and related assets as the market weakens. The gold miners index (XAU) is undervalued compared to gold, suggesting significant potential gains once investors begin to reallocate capital. Oliver discusses the dollar's potential decline, noting a critical momentum level that could signal a broader downtrend. A weaker dollar would likely boost commodities and gold, though he cautions against tying this directly to political factors like Trump's policies. Reflecting on his book on anarcho-capitalism, Oliver suggests a shift away from statism toward market-driven solutions. He speculates that events like the stock market crash could catalyze significant policy changes, including tax reforms or central bank abolition.

J. Michael Oliver entered the financial services industry in 1975 on the Futures side, joining E.F. Hutton's International Commodity Division, headquartered in New York City's Battery Park. He studied under David Johnston, head of Hutton's Commodity Division and Chairman of the COMEX. In the 1980s, Mike began to develop his proprietary momentum-based method of technical analysis. He learned early on that orthodox price chart technical analysis left many unanswered questions and too often deceived those who trusted in price chart breakouts, support/resistance, and so forth. In 1987 Mike technically anticipated and caught the Crash. It was then that he decided to develop his structural momentum tools into a full analytic methodology. In 1992, the Financial VP and head of Wachovia Bank's Trust Department asked Mike to provide soft dollar research to Wachovia. Within a year, Mike shifted from brokerage to full-time technical analysis. He is also the author of The New Libertarianism: Anarcho-Capitalism.

Crafting Marketing that Connects with Emily Aborn Host: Marcia Riner, Business Growth Strategist & CEO of Infinite Profit® Guest: Emily Aborn, Copywriter, Content Marketing Consultant, and Podcast Host Introduction What if your words could do more than just fill space on a webpage? What if they could attract the right clients, build stronger relationships, and drive real business growth? In this episode of Profit With a Plan, I sit down with Emily Aborn, an expert in content marketing, copywriting, and brand messaging. With over a decade of experience and collaborations in 113+ industries, Emily knows how to turn words into powerful business tools. We're diving deep into: ✔ How to craft marketing that feels authentic and engaging ✔ The balance between pain points and benefits in messaging ✔ Why cohesive branding matters across all platforms ✔ The power of specificity and clarity in your content Whether you're a business owner struggling to connect with your audience or just looking to refine your brand voice, this episode is packed with actionable insights to help you turn marketing into a growth engine for your business. Let's jump in! Episode Highlights & Key Takeaways [00:00:07] Introduction: The Power of Words in Marketing Marcia introduces the episode and the role of effective copywriting and branding in business success Guest Emily Aborn has worked with businesses in more than 113 industries, helping them create impactful messaging [00:02:26] Meet Emily Aborn: From Outdoor Gear to Copywriting Emily shares her journey from writing about outdoor sports gear to becoming a top content marketing strategist The importance of storytelling in making marketing more relatable and effective [00:06:49] Discovering What You Truly Love in Business How Emily identified her strengths in marketing, writing, and strategy The importance of aligning your business with your natural talents for long-term success [00:08:56] The Power of Specialization Without Losing Opportunities Many business owners fear niching down, but Emily reframes it as recognizing patterns in ideal clients Why specialization can actually attract higher-quality clients [00:10:59] Crafting a Clear, Authentic Message for Your Brand Avoid trying to be everything to everyone—clarity builds trust and connection Consistency in tone and language reinforces your brand identity Using recordings of natural conversations to refine messaging [00:13:40] Pain Points vs. Benefits: Finding the Right Balance Many marketing strategies focus only on pain points, but is that always the best approach? Why excitement and aspiration can be just as powerful as urgency and fear Instead of just fixing a problem, market the vision of a better future [00:15:47] Selling Without Manipulation Not every customer wants a quick fix—some prefer a strategic, long-term approach The difference between marketing to emergency buyers vs. aspirational buyers Why attracting aligned customers leads to better long-term relationships [00:20:29] Making Copywriting More Conversational and Engaging Find your natural speaking style and let it translate into your writing Avoid robotic or overly polished copy—people connect with authenticity Using voice memos to refine messaging before writing [00:23:28] Using Specificity to Make Your Message More Relatable A vague message won't connect with the right audience Example: Saying “Imagine biting into a slightly tart Granny Smith apple” is more engaging than just saying "apple.” Being specific makes content feel more personal and engaging [00:27:43] Targeting the Right Audience Without Being Too Narrow Instead of just selling wrinkle treatments, focus on the desired outcome Example: “Want to look effortlessly radiant, like you just applied the perfect makeup—but without wearing any?” Speaking to a specific outcome attracts the right audience without alienating potential customers [00:28:43] The One-Person Rule: Speaking Directly to Your Ideal Customer Content marketing should speak to one specific audience per post Trying to appeal to everyone at once makes messaging unclear and ineffective Instead of writing one long, general post, create separate targeted messages for different audience segments [00:30:42] Creating a Cohesive Marketing Strategy Marketing starts with a great conversation that builds trust and leads to sales Effective copywriting connects with the audience and makes it easy for them to take action Your words should reflect your brand personality so potential clients feel they already know you Conclusion: Your Words Can Build Your Business Great marketing isn't about tricks or gimmicks—it's about using the right words to connect, engage, and convert. Emily shared invaluable insights on balancing authenticity, specificity, and strategy to create messaging that truly resonates with your audience. So, what's your next step?

Many times when a Christian gets a high-paying job or an elevated position they usually say, "God has blessed me." Which may be true. But what happens 6 months later when difficulties arise and hardships abound? Is it still considered a blessing?Pain Points are actually more important than the money we're making. Pain Points help reveal what's really in our hearts. They help sharpen us, and we need to learn how to have the Biblical perspective of counting them all joy.If you get passed over for a promotion, if your work goes unnoticed, how content are you? What are you focused on more, opportunities to share your faith where you're at, or the amount of money you will receive?It's okay for Christians to want more, but we need to make sure we're demonstrating our faith in our business more than we're working to build our own kingdom.Listen as Pastor Owen Williams shares about his experience in both the pulpit and the corporate world. He'll help navigate through the importance of right beliefs and mindsets that direct our personal and spiritual growth.OWEN'S WEBSITE: https://www.oewilliamsministries.com/OWEN'S BOOKS: https://www.oewilliamsministries.com/books
