What would it mean if your home could feel like Christmas — without being buried in stuff? This episode is a reminder that peace and beauty don't come from more décor, but from the heart and atmosphere you create within your walls. Let's talk about decorating with intention — adding warmth, joy, and Christ-centered calm to your home this holiday season. Because when your home feels peaceful, everyone in it does too.

The holiday rush came roaring back and, for a weekend, the mall felt alive again. We landed a two-week pop-up at the Bangor Mall, solved a tough layout challenge, and ended up with a space that felt like our own shop—clean sightlines, a long counter for checkout, and room for people to browse without bumping shoulders. Pair that with neighbors selling handcrafted American flags and our tees hanging in the windows all week, and we saw what seasonal storefronts can do: bring community into the brand and remind us why relationship retail matters.We share the small wins that add up to real momentum: doubling last year's numbers at the same event, reconnecting with loyal families who show up every time, and feeling the old-school buzz of busy hallways and shared smiles. That energy sparked bigger thinking. A full-time shop may not fit our model, but strategic pop-ups during the right seasons could blend the best of brick-and-mortar and e-commerce—deep relationships in person and lasting connections online. We talk candidly about planning for lean months, restocking smart, and choosing events that match our audience instead of chasing every fair on the map.Then we turn to something heavier and more important. The headlines about a young pro athlete's death by suicide shook us, and a recent night of worry for someone close brought the topic home. We unpack a simple “onion” approach to mental health: start with the people at your center and work outward, checking in with real questions and real time. Tell folks you love them. Tell them you want them to stay. Make space for “I'm not okay” without judgment. It's not about fixing everything—it's about being there long enough for hope to return.If this resonated, share it with someone who needs the reminder, leave a review to help more listeners find the show, and hit follow so you don't miss what's next.

Ever finish a stop, glance at the truck, and realize you're down to one gallon of chlorine with six pools to go? That pit-in-the-stomach moment is avoidable, and we walk through a field-tested system to keep your route moving without last-minute supplier runs or apologetic reschedules. Our goal is simple: turn your truck and garage into a lean, reliable inventory that protects your time and your bottom line.We start with emergency essentials that punch above their weight. A 50-pound bucket of dichlor is the ultimate backup chlorine: stable on the shelf, easy to dose when pre-dissolved, and clutch when liquid stock runs low. Pair that with a spare pole and leaf rake so a broken net or a forgotten tool never derails your day. Then we get into power—a spare battery for Riptide or Bottom Feeder covers windy days, charging mishaps, and heavy debris, keeping you on schedule when it matters most.From there, we zoom out to organization and parts strategy. We break down how to map your route by equipment brand, then stock the O-rings, lids, baskets, and filter parts that fail most often. If your area is Pentair-heavy, you'll hear exactly which Clean & Clear Plus and WhisperFlo parts to keep within arm's reach. We also call out the small items that save big time: Intermatic timer trippers, Rainbow chlorinator tubing and lid O-rings, and a spare chlorine floater for salt system downtime. Cleaner uptime is huge, so we recommend carrying a spare suction cleaner and hoses to swap in when a repair turns into a project.The real difference-maker is habit. Use one, reorder one. Label buckets. Audit monthly. Avoid hoarding while making sure the must-haves never run out. Over time, this approach reduces supplier trips, cuts drive time, and boosts client trust because you finish jobs on the first visit. If you want a smoother route, fewer emergencies, and more profit per hour, this episode is your playbook.If this helped tighten your workflow, follow the show, share it with a fellow pool pro, and leave a quick review to help others find it.

The first step to transformation is to stop doing what no longer works." – Marcia Daszko On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sat down with Marcia Daszko, a visionary leadership consultant and author of Pivot, Disrupt, Transform: How Leaders Beat the Odds and Survive. Marcia's journey—from being "excruciatingly shy" to mentoring leaders at Apple, Boeing, and the U.S. Navy—reveals a rare combination of courage, curiosity, and clarity. Her lessons, rooted in the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, challenge leaders to abandon outdated management practices and embrace a deeper, systems-based way of thinking. From Management Fads to Meaningful Leadership Marcia began her career in marketing before being mentored by Dr. Perry Gluckman, a close associate of Dr. Deming, who revolutionized management thinking through systems theory and continuous improvement. What she learned was not just what to do, but how to think. Too often, organizations chase the latest management fad—Six Sigma, Lean, "best practices"—without understanding the systems that create real success. Marcia calls these "tragedies" because they add complexity without meaning. She estimates that 50 to 80 percent of organizational waste comes from such misguided efforts. Her process begins with a bold question: "What do we need to stop doing?" Once leaders remove what's not working, they can open the flow of communication, creativity, and collaboration—what Marcia calls the "system of profound knowledge." When systems make sense, people thrive. Watch the podcast here: Learning to See Differently Like many of my guests, Marcia helps organizations "see, feel, and think" in new ways. She starts by asking questions that uncover hidden assumptions and systemic barriers. Employees usually know what's wrong, she says, but no one listens. When she leads workshops, she doesn't rely on PowerPoint slides. Instead, she creates experiences—conversations, simulations, and reflections—that shift perspectives. "I don't get resistance," she explains, "because the exercises take care of that." It's an anthropologist's insight wrapped in a strategist's toolkit: people don't change because they're told to—they change because they experience a new way of being together. The Strategic Compass for an Uncertain Future In today's world of disruption, Marcia argues that leaders don't need a roadmap—they need a compass. The future can't be predicted; it must be navigated through exploration, experimentation, and learning. Her Strategic Compass helps executives pivot as they encounter new "rivers and mountains" in their business landscape. Leadership, she reminds us, is not about control but curiosity. The most powerful organizations foster environments where everyone can learn, question, and contribute. Her three "legs of the stool" are: Innovation as a business strategy Continuous improvement as a business strategy Quality as a business strategy Sadly, she says, quality and customer service—once foundational to success—have too often been forgotten. Building a Culture of Trust and Curiosity Both Marcia and I share a passion for culture change. She emphasizes that great leaders reduce fear and build trust. When people feel safe, they can be curious and collaborative. It's not enough to post company values on a wall; leaders must define the behaviors that bring those values to life. Her workshops often transform even the most rigid workplaces. In one session, an employee of 15 years said it was the first time he had felt truly appreciated and engaged. That's the power of inclusion, curiosity, and respect in action. Leading in the Age of AI As we discussed the rise of artificial intelligence, Marcia was unequivocal: "If you're afraid of AI, you'll be left behind." She sees AI not as a threat but as a tool for learning and transformation. The challenge, she warns, is to build guardrails—policies and ethics that guide its use responsibly. In an age when consulting firms can generate proposals in minutes, leaders must rethink how people create value. The winners will be those who empower their teams to use new tools, think critically, and continuously learn. Key Takeaways Stop before you start. Identify and eliminate wasteful management practices that add complexity without results. Think in systems. Every part of your organization is interconnected. Problems are rarely isolated. Create flow. Open channels for communication, creativity, and collaboration. Replace fear with trust. People thrive when they feel safe to contribute. Stay curious. Learning is not a phase—it's a way of life. Use AI wisely. Embrace new tools, but balance innovation with ethical governance. What You Can Do Next Run a "Stop Doing" audit. Gather your team and list processes or habits that no longer serve your mission. Eliminate one per quarter. Host a curiosity circle. Ask open-ended questions like, "What assumptions are we making?" or "What would our customers say if they were in this room?" Map your system. Visualize how information, decisions, and accountability flow. Look for bottlenecks or blind spots. Pair technology with humanity. Use AI or analytics to inform—not replace—human judgment. Model the behavior you want to see. As Marcia says, leadership begins when everyone sees themselves as a leader. Marcia Daszko's work reminds us that transformation is not about new tools—it's about new thinking. If you're ready to pivot from managing the past to creating the future, this episode will show you how.

This live audience episode at The Perlant is dedicated to the art of food and wine pairings as we look forward to the holiday season. This episode is generously sponsored by the Hyatt Regency Atlanta, which has an incredible connection to this episode's featured guest and has supported his growth and journey from day one. Kevin Mobley, the Chef and Owner of Anna Bell's Kitchen, is honoring his great-grandmother, Anna Bell, by recreating, scaling, and perfecting her delicious recipe for southern Mac & Cheese. You'll hear how Kevin is building this business and maintaining the integrity of his family's recipe that is beautifully tied to a lot of historical context including an interesting throughline to Atlanta. We wanted to see how a group of fellow Atlanta wine professionals would approach the task of pairing wine to such a versatile yet classic dish, so we invited a panel of taste-testers to join us for a tasting who brought their talented, respected palates to the table for this discussion. You'll hear the “why” behind each of the wine pairings, you'll hear some of our favorite traditions of the holiday season, and you'll hopefully get some ideas for doing some wine pairings with your own friends and family at your holiday tables this year.

Nathan Caldwell is the Bestselling Author, Thought Leader, and Speaker of Empowering Kindness. A lifelong performer-turned-leadership coach, Nathan's early career on stage taught him how guest-facing energy is created (and depleted) every shift. He later guided culture and leadership through multiple corporate acquisitions, evolving his research and writing into the book Empowering Kindness and the practice behind it. Empowering Kindness supports organizations with practical, science-backed frameworks that lift performance by building trust, clarity, and courage. In this interview, Nathan talks about Empowering Kindness, developing leaders, and beating the calendar. Empowering Kindness “Kindness takes strength, bravery, and wisdom to execute upon.” Nathan pushes kindness far beyond “being nice.” Drawing on research and lived experience, he frames kindness as a disciplined leadership choice: seeing others' needs (empathy), stepping into the gap despite discomfort (bravery), and applying the right response at the right time (wisdom). He cites studies showing that environments rich in kindness elevate wellbeing and performance, arguing that people are literally built to respond to good. Leaders operationalize this by defining what kindness looks like in specific roles, training for it, and equipping teams to deliver it consistently—not hoping people will “just be kind.” Instead of the tired “compliment sandwich,” Nathan recommends an “Oreo” culture: clearly state what “good” and “excellent” look like, and call them out often. Doing so deposits trust so that hard feedback is welcomed rather than resisted. When leaders are known for recognizing excellence, coaching moments land as invitations to rejoin that standard, not as gotchas. The outcome is a reinforcing loop of clarity → recognition → trust → growth. Developing Leaders “They must be great at filling people up with energy.” Borrowing from his performer background, Nathan describes the “energy lifecycle” of guest-facing roles: guests draw energy all day; if leaders only pull, teams burn out. Great leaders replenish through coaching, recognition, and practical support. He also normalizes the loneliness of leadership and urges leaders to build peer networks, learn continuously (books, webinars, podcasts), and identify personal recharge rituals. The goal isn't endless cheerleading; it's deliberate energy management so people can show up strong for guests and each other. Nathan's prescription is both organizational and personal. Organizations should create forums and rhythms where leaders learn together and hold one another accountable. Individually, leaders must notice depletion, own recovery, and return to the floor refueled. That self-awareness is a kindness to the team: a recharged leader is capable of the courageous conversations and steady presence that growth requires. Beating the Calendar “You have to beat the calendar. You have to win against the calendar. Intentionality is the only way to do it.” Seasonality and turnover can't be excuses. Nathan warns against hoping people “pick up” experience during the busy months; that's how issues get swept under the rug until they become trip hazards. Instead, map the precise competencies leaders need (e.g., handling difficult conversations), then schedule training, role-plays, and practice reps before peak season. Treat these as must-run plays, not nice-to-haves. When intentionality leads, teams meet higher guest expectations without burning out. His approach centers on earlier, braver, better-prepared conversations. Define likely scenarios, script first lines, practice aloud, and debrief. Pair this with the “Oreo” culture so accountability sits inside an environment saturated with examples of “what right looks like.” The payoff: fewer surprises, faster course-corrections, and a leadership bench that returns each season stronger than it left.

Listen to this running rip off from hell.

What if the most honest way to change minds isn't a new campaign, but a new way to see familiar things? Brian Singer, known as “Someguy,” makes work that lures us with beauty and play, then nudges us to sit with what's uncomfortable. Brian's projects cross gallery walls and public space. The 1000 Journals Project sent blank books into the world for strangers to fill. TWIT Spotting put photos of distracted drivers on billboards to make a daily danger impossible to ignore. His recent pieces deconstruct books, flags, and everyday objects to examine censorship, identity, and what we choose to remember. In this conversation, we talk about how design craft and social commentary can live together. We also talk about heritage, silence, and what it means to make work that is both kind and clear. For the Rule29 community, this is a practical lens for client work and culture. Brian shows how to use material, language, and context to create meaning. He shows why public engagement matters. And he reminds us that strong ideas don't need to shout. They need to connect. Brian Singer is a San Francisco artist and designer. His work has been exhibited at SFMOMA, the Skirball Cultural Center, and the Torrance Art Museum. The 1000 Journals Project became a book and a feature documentary. He has led design for brands like Apple, Adidas, and Chronicle Books, and served as AIGA SF president. What you'll learn: + Make the familiar new. Reframe common symbols. Use deconstruction and reconstruction to reveal hidden meaning. + Design for public impact. Borrow trusted forms. Invite participation. Meet people where they are. + Beauty is a strategy. A clean, striking form opens the door. The message keeps people in the room. + Hold tension with care. Pair empathy with truth. It is possible to be humane and direct. + Build time into ideas. Let projects evolve. Some work needs years, not weeks. + Lead with context. Materials matter. Where a piece lives changes what it says. If you want work that moves people, don't add more noise. Create encounters. Give your audience a role. Use your craft to lower defenses, then be honest about the issue. This approach works in public art, brand systems, and campaigns. It also builds trust. If this episode gives you one nudge, let it be this: pick one symbol you use every day and ask what it really says. Then design a way for someone to see it fresh. That's how change starts. Thanks for listening to Design Of. If this conversation helped you think differently, share it with one person who leads creative work. Leave a rating where you listen. And keep making work that tells the truth with care. Links and references for episode: https://someguy.is/

Susie Jones is in for Chad today and she's feeling good because she fit into a pair of jeans she hasn't worn in a while! Susie talks about that and it leads into a conversation about purging our homes of unwanted items and hoarding.

In this capstone to Nonprofit Power Week, Rita L. Soronen, President and CEO of the Dave Thomas Foundation for Adoption, looks forward—past the news cycle and into the work that will shape children, families, and the sector. In a calm, mentoring tone, Rita keeps leaders grounded in first principles: start with the child. As she puts it, “We're not finding what child is best for a family, we're finding what family is best for a child.” That mindset reframes recruitment, kinship care, and inclusion, and it calls leaders to stretch their own practices.Rita shares how public attitudes toward foster care and adoption have matured, yet can backslide when sensational stories appear. Her counsel: hold firm to truth, trauma awareness, and mental health supports. She offers a practical compass for politicized climates: begin where everyone can agree. “Anyone here who's ever been a child, please raise your hand… We have to bring it back to what's best for children.” From there, leaders can convene consensus, reduce noise, and invite real collaboration across agencies, movements, and communities.On funding and donor behavior, Rita maps the changing landscape—fewer donors, larger gifts, and strong interest in measurable impact and systemic change. The lesson for leaders is balance: keep legacy channels available while building digital fluency and fluency in donor-advised funds, non-cash assets, and planned giving. Pair that with scenario planning so your organization is resilient when markets, tax policy, or public health winds shift.Rita's advice on next-gen leadership is both warm and direct. Embrace impatience for progress, mentor toward mastery, and translate across generations. Model curiosity over eye-rolls; teach how boards govern, how budgets work, and how durable change is built—without dampening the urgency younger leaders bring.Finally, Rita urges courage without fear. Hold your mission steady when funding anxieties rise. Convene unusual allies. Keep articulating the value of childhood, permanency, and family—then amplify shared ground loudly. Leaders who do this will guide teams and donors through uncertainty and keep children at the center, where they belong.#TheNonprofitShow #Adoption #FosterCareFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

Hey friend — the holiday season is almost here! And before the pace picks up, I want to pause with you and look at the heart of how we enter it. Because the season can be full of joy… or full of overwhelm. And a lot of that comes down to how we prepare our space, our schedule, and our spirit before the celebrations begin. So I want to ask you something: What would it mean if this year didn't feel rushed? If your home felt peaceful to walk into… If your days had breathing room… If joy didn't feel like something you had to chase — but something that was already present? This episode is the first in a gentle, practical mini-series to help you create margin for the season ahead — not by doing more, but by clearing space to receive the joy that's already yours in Christ. This is about preparing the atmosphere — inside your home and inside your heart. Mentioned in this episode: Episode 138

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Sana talks with veteran film/TV composer Chris Boardman, founder of SoundBridge Health. After developing PTSD, Chris turned decades of musical storytelling into a practical nervous-system toolkit that blends personally meaningful music, breathwork, and ritual movement. We unpack the neuroscience—hippocampus memory recall, amygdala signaling, dopamine release—and why tempo, not genre, is the lever for calm or focus. We also cover how to build on-the-spot “pre-shot routines” to interrupt spirals and why music from ages 12–20 often regulates us fastest. Direct, science-backed, and immediately usable. About the Guest  : Chris Boardman is a renowned composer/arranger/orchestrator whose career spans symphony, Broadway, film, and records, collaborating with icons such as Quincy Jones, Julie Andrews, and Shirley MacLaine. He is the creator of SoundBridge Health, a pre-launch program that teaches people to self-regulate using music, breath, and movement. Key Takeaways: Music is embedded in long-term memory (hippocampus); hearing a familiar piece rapidly retrieves associated memories and feelings. Positive recall can trigger dopamine via amygdala → frontal cortex signaling, creating a fast mood lift and physiological shift. The brain's autonomic threat response (startle, hypervigilance) can be interrupted by focused listening paired with breath and movement. Tempo entrains physiology: choose slower BPM to downshift anxiety; faster BPM to energize. Genre doesn't matter—personal relevance does. Music from ages 12–20 often regulates best due to heightened emotional imprinting during coming-of-age changes. Pair music with box breathing/pranayama to anchor attention in the present and with ritual movement to quiet rumination. Build a simple on-demand routine: select 3–5 personally meaningful tracks by target tempo, add a fixed breath cadence, and repeat the same micro-movement sequence to train the response. SoundBridge Health is pre-launch and preparing pilot programs with physicians; interested listeners can join the waitlist to be notified.

In this powerful episode, Paul Scheele sits down with Dr. Alex Loyd, creator of The Healing Codes, to explore how buried physiological stress and what Alex calls "cellular memory" can limit health, abundance, and spiritual connection. Alex recounts the dramatic moment when he received the blueprint for The Healing Codes under emotional crisis, and how that system has since helped thousands. He explains how roughly 90–95% of disease is tied to stress, how unresolved trauma becomes stored in the body, and how his 6-minute code routine can reduce stress dramatically—often within 30 minutes. He also discusses the science behind cellular memory, heart-rate variability testing, double-blind research validating his method, and how each person can begin applying the healing codes immediately. Paul then transitions into a solo segment, recommending supporting Paraliminal audio sessions that complement Alex's codes in five thematic areas: stress release, memory clearing, intuitive alignment, energetic support, and ongoing integration. Key Takeaways: Many illnesses begin with prolonged, unresolved stress and emotional trauma stored at a cellular level. Alex's Healing Codes system locates four healing centers (eyebrow region, Adam's apple, jaw, temples) and uses fingertip stimulation to activate them in a 6-minute protocol. Within a 30-minute window, around 86–87% of participants report ≥50% stress reductions per HRV measurements. 32 double-blind studies across health, psychological, and relational issues report significant benefits from applying the Codes. True transformation requires consistent practice: emotional acceptance (gratitude), the code routine, and spiritual alignment (prayer or inner surrender). Action Steps / Suggested Practices: Try the 6-minute Healing Code sequence today: Hands-bridge → Adam's apple → Jaw → Temples, repeat 3–4 cycles while focusing on the issue you wish to shift. Pair with a daily Paraliminal aligned to your focus (e.g., stress clearing, deeper healing, inner alignment). Journal your emotional state before and after; note changes in mood, clarity, or physical tension. Dr. Alex Loyd, PhD, ND, is the creator of The Healing Codes and author of bestselling books including "The Healing Code" and "The Love Code" (also published as "Beyond Willpower"). For over two decades, he has taught simple, non-invasive methods to help reduce physiological stress and address the energetic roots of emotional and physical issues, drawing on psychology, natural medicine, and heart-rate variability assessment. His work has reached audiences worldwide through books, trainings, and seminars. Learn more about Alex at thehealingcodes.com .

"Relationships come before proposals; kokoro-gamae signals intent long before a contract". "Nemawashi wins unseen battles by equipping an internal champion to align consensus". "In Japan, decisions are slower—but execution is lightning-fast once ringi-sho is approved". "Detail is trust: dense materials, rapid follow-ups, and consistent delivery reduce uncertainty avoidance". "Think reorder, not transaction—lifetime value grows from reliability, patience, and face-saving flexibility". In this Asia AIM conversation, Dr. Greg Story reframes B2B success in Japan as a decision-intelligence exercise grounded in trust, patience, and detail. The core insight: buyers are rewarded for avoiding downside, not for taking risks. Consequently, a new supplier represents uncertainty; price discounts rarely move the needle. What does? Kokoro-gamae—demonstrable, client-first intent—expressed through meticulous preparation, responsiveness, and long-term commitment. Greg's journey began in 1992 when his Australian consultative selling failed to gain traction. The lesson was blunt: until trust is established, the offer is irrelevant because the buyer evaluates the person first. From there, the playbook is distinctly Japanese. Nemawashi—the behind-the-scenes groundwork—recognises that many stakeholders can say "no." External sellers seldom meet these influencers. The practical move is to equip an internal champion with detailed, risk-reducing materials and flexible terms that make consensus safer. Once the ringi-sho (circulating approval document) moves, execution accelerates; Japan trades slow decisions for fast delivery. Greg emphasises information density and speed. Japanese firms expect thick printouts, technical appendices, and rapid follow-ups—even calls to confirm an email was received. This signals reliability and reduces the purchaser's uncertainty. Trial orders are common; they are not small but strategic—tests of quality, schedule adherence, and flexibility. Win the test, and the budget cycle (often April-to-March) can position the supplier for multi-year reorders. Culturally, face and accountability shape referrals. Testimonials are difficult because clients avoid responsibility if something goes wrong. Longevity itself becomes social proof: "We've supplied X for ten years" carries weight. Greg's hunter-versus-farmer distinction highlights the need to support new logos with dedicated account "farmers" who manage detail, cadence, and service levels that earn reorders. Patience is tactical, not passive. "Kentō shimasu" may mean "not now," so he calendarises a nine-month follow-up—enough time for internal conditions to change without ceding the account to competitors. Throughout, he urges leaders to think in lifetime value, align to budget rhythms, and communicate more than feels natural. The result is a high-trust system where consensus reduces organisational risk—and where suppliers that master nemawashi, detail, and delivery become integral partners rather than interchangeable vendors.  Q&A Summary What makes leadership in Japan unique? Leadership succeeds when it reduces organisational risk and preserves face during consensus formation. Nemawashi equips internal champions to address objections before meetings, while ringi-sho formalises agreement. Leaders who foreground kokoro-gamae, provide dense decision packs, and allow time for alignment see decisions stick and execution accelerate. Why do global executives struggle? Western managers often prize speed, big-room persuasion, and minimal detail. In Japan, uncertainty avoidance is high; buyers seek exhaustive documentation and incremental proof via pilots. Under-investing in detail or follow-up reads as unreliable. Overlooking budget cycles and internal approvals leads to mistimed asks and stalled ringi. Is Japan truly risk-averse? Individuals are incentivised to avoid downside, which shifts decisions from "risk-taking" to "risk-mitigation." The system favours tested suppliers, visible track records, and trial orders. Price rarely offsets perceived risk. Trust and history function as risk controls; once approved, delivery speed reflects the system's confidence. What leadership style actually works? A patient, service-led style that privileges relationships over transactions. Leaders ask permission to ask questions, listen for hidden constraints, and co-design low-risk pilots. Farmers—or hunter-farmer teams—sustain cadence, escalate issues early, and remain flexible as conditions change, protecting the champion's face and the consensus. How can technology help? Decision intelligence platforms can map stakeholders and sentiment across the approval chain. Digital twins of delivery schedules and SLAs, plus living dashboards of quality metrics, give champions ringi-ready evidence. Structured knowledge bases, rapid response workflows, and audit trails strengthen reliability signals during nemawashi. Does language proficiency matter? Language builds rapport, but process fluency matters more: understanding nemawashi, ringi-sho, and budget cycles; providing dense Japanese-language materials; and maintaining a proactive follow-up cadence. Bilingual support teams and translated technical appendices can materially lower perceived risk. What's the ultimate leadership lesson? Optimise for the reorder, not the first sale. Reliability, speed of follow-up, document density, and cultural fluency compound into durable trust. Japan rewards those who "hasten slowly," then deliver flawlessly when the decision finally lands.  Timecoded Summary [00:00] Context and thesis: Japan's B2B environment rewards risk mitigation over risk-taking; relationships precede proposals. Greg recounts his early failure applying Australian consultative selling before building rapport and trust as prerequisites. [05:20] Nemawashi in practice: Many stakeholders can veto; sellers rarely meet them. Equip the champion with dense packs, options, and flexibility to navigate objections. Ringi-sho formalises consensus, and once signed, execution accelerates. [12:45] Detail and responsiveness: Japanese buyers expect information-rich printouts and fast follow-ups—even same-day responses. Trial orders function as risk-controlled tests of quality, schedule, and flexibility. Delivery during trials sets the tone for long-term partnership. [18:30] Referrals and proof: Public testimonials are rare due to accountability risk. Tenure becomes currency—long relationships serve as de-risking signals to new buyers. Social proof derives from sustained performance, not logos on a webpage. [24:10] Cadence and patience: "Kentō shimasu" often means "not now." Calendarise a nine-month check-in to match likely internal change cycles. Align proposals to April budget rhythms to avoid timing out. Maintain polite persistence without pushiness. [31:05] Operating model: Pair hunters with farmers; once a deal lands, a service-led team manages detail, SLAs, and face-saving flexibility. Leaders message lifetime value, not quarterly wins, and use technology (decision intelligence, digital twins, knowledge bases) to support nemawashi and ringi.  Author Credentials Dr. Greg Story, Ph.D. in Japanese Decision-Making, is President of Dale Carnegie Tokyo Training and Adjunct Professor at Griffith University.

Send us a textReady for a clearer path through post-frame and metal buildings? We dig into what actually builds trust—real accreditation, transparent design tools, and partnerships you can visit, walk, and verify. Fresh from a plant tour at Graber Post and gearing up for the NFBA Conference, we map out how dealers can stay indispensable while manufacturers inch toward direct sales.We start with the practical: NFBA dates, hotel tips, and why the association's classes and accreditation raise the bar for pole barns. Then we get hands-on. SmartBuild lets us design to the screw so change orders don't derail budgets, and IdeaRoom brings customers into the 3D process without confusing the scope. Watching trusses move from pre-cut lumber to finished assemblies inside a clean, organized facility made one point impossible to miss—quality is a system. When your operations, subs, and suppliers are aligned, turnkey stops being a promise and becomes the only way you work.We also face the hard truths. In a market where four quotes cluster around 20k and one outlier dangles 16.5k, the risk isn't just price—it's lost time, weak engineering, and vanished refunds. That's why we push for standards in metal buildings and sheds, similar to what NFBA has done for post-frame. Until a strong association exists, dealers must self-govern with clear scopes, milestone payments, documented engineering, and consistent updates. Pair that with disciplined geography, vetted subs, and SEO that brings in qualified buyers, and you've got an engine that survives manufacturer shifts.Along the way we share new partnerships sparked at trade shows, our expanding content plans, and a few personal notes on community work and staying focused through slow season. If you sell sheds, carports, or pole barns, this is a roadmap for 2026: get accredited where possible, design transparently, manage projects tightly, and build alliances that last. Enjoy the ride, then help us raise the standard across the industry.For more information or to know more about the Shed Geek Podcast visit us at our website.Would you like to receive our weekly newsletter?  Sign up here.Follow us on Twitter, Instagram, Facebook, or YouTube at the handle @shedgeekpodcast.To be a guest on the Shed Geek Podcast visit our website and fill out the "Contact Us" form.To suggest show topics or ask questions you want answered email us at info@shedgeek.com.This episodes Sponsors:Studio Sponsor: J Money LLCSolar Blaster

Team is kicking off the set 10 meta with an ink pair tier list!

Crystal Rivers | Word for Now | Nov 3, 2025 Let your mind be renewed until you can test and prove God's good, acceptable, and perfect will in real time. Read Scripture like a map of “holy hyperlinks”: when you see patterns (120 in the upper room; the cloud that filled the tabernacle and temple; the smoke that fills the temple in Revelation 15), grasp the message—when God's glory (His light) fills His house, reality is revealed. That revealing is what Scripture calls “wrath”: not God lashing out, but light exposing and undoing whatever partners with death. Treat sin like cancer—small mutations that look harmless until they consume; do not negotiate with it. Refuse the world's narratives that keep the “old man” animated; walk by the light of what God says of you in Christ. Go deeper: how to live this now • Rule your inputs. Curate what you watch, read, and repeat. Your “inner light” is shaped by your daily feed. Replace doom-scroll with Word-scroll. • Daily exchange. Morning and night: (1) confess what's false, (2) declare what's true “in Christ,” (3) take one concrete action within 24 hours that agrees with truth. • Short accounts. Repent fast, forgive fast, reconcile fast. Don't sleep with accusation in your mouth or offense in your heart. • Welcome exposure. Ask trusted believers to lovingly confront blind spots. Treat reproof as mercy, not shame. • Train imagination. Meditate until you see yourself acting like Jesus in specific pressures—then go do it. • Fast strategically. Use food, media, and comfort fasts to break agreement with “old-man” reflexes. Pair every fast with extra Word and prayer. • Pray for light, not ease. Ask for illumination that makes sin impossible to hide and obedience easy to choose. • Practice generosity. Give time, honor, and money where it costs you. It starves pride and feeds love. Reading numbers as hyperlinks (so symbols serve obedience) • 12 → Governmental maturity (tribes/apostles). • 10 → Testing/completeness of order. • 100 → Fullness/fruitfulness. • 120 → Priestly fullness unto glory (echoing the trumpeting priests). • 144,000 → A picture of completeness multiplied (mature, sealed people across tribes), pointing to a people formed into Christ, not mere headcount. Use symbols to aim your life: pursue maturity, tested obedience, fruit that remains, priestly worship, and sealed allegiance. Discernment drills (5 minutes each) 1. Light Check: “What am I believing right now? Does it agree with the Word or with fear/pride?” Replace the lie with a verse and an action. 2. Speech Guard: Before replying, ask: “Will these words sow light or feed death?” If neutral or dark, wait. 3. Peace Barometer: If peace drops, trace the last agreement you made (thought, word, click). Break it; agree with truth again. 4. Mercy Reflex: When someone fails, act in the opposite spirit within one hour: bless, cover, help. 5. Hidden Yes: Do one obedient act daily that only God sees. It trains you for a glory-filled temple where flesh cannot posture. Community rhythms that make holiness feel like love • Confession before communion. Normalize brief, specific confession and prayer before worship. • Testimony of exposure → restoration. Celebrate stories where light revealed sin and produced healing. • Prophetic with process. Words that expose should come with a path to restore (scripture, steps, accountability, time frame). • Hospitality as warfare. Open tables dismantle isolation, bitterness, and secret agreements with darkness. Pitfalls to refuse • Spectator faith. Consuming teachings without practicing them calcifies the heart. • Cynicism disguised as discernment. Testing everything is biblical; scorning everything is unbelief. • End-times fear. Revelation's aim is loyalty and hope, not panic. Read for the glory outcome. • Selective obedience. Partial yes is a slow no; it keeps the “old man” on life support. A simple daily liturgy (10 minutes) 1. Present: “Lord, I present my body a living sacrifice.” 2. Renew: Read a short passage; speak one sentence of obedience you'll do today. 3. Renounce: Name any lie/accusation; replace it with truth out loud. 4. Request: “Flood my heart with light. Make exposure my friend and love my reflex.” 5. Release: Bless an enemy, a rival, or a critic by name. Lean into that future now—detox from worldliness, fast and pray, saturate your imagination with the Word, stay tender and quick to repent, forgive before you feel it, welcome loving correction, and build communities where prophetic clarity, humility, and mercy make compromise impossible. Search out what God has hidden for you (not from you): the unsearchable riches of Christ will meet you as you seek. Live like a king who searches matters out; love like a bride who reads the romance in every parable; and let your daily choices agree with the light you intend to live by.

After a successful 20-year career as a journalist and corporate executive, Carole Hopson made a bold decision to step into the cockpit. Today, she is a Boeing 737 Captain with United Airlines, based in Newark, New Jersey, and she's one of the few Black women in the world to hold that position.Carole's journey wasn't easy. Having faced an accident, financial sacrifice, the rigor of flight school, and motherhood, she pursued a dream that had waited decades to take flight. Alongside her aviation career, she remains deeply connected to her love of storytelling as the author of A Pair of Wings, a novel inspired by Bessie Coleman, the first African American woman to earn a French pilot's license.Through her work, Carole celebrates courage, legacy, and representation. Her nonprofit project, The Jet Black Foundation, aims to send 100 Black women to flight school by 2035 to create a new generation of pioneers in aviation.This episode is about more than flying; it's about resilience, purpose, and daring to rewrite your story mid-flight.

Matt Rhule and Troy Dannen seem to be a perfect match.

Holidays don't usually line up with release day—but this year they did. In this Halloween special, Trace uses the horror-movie trope of the "scary boiler room" to deliver practical, field-tested reminders for safer sampling, clearer thinking, and better decisions in high-heat, low-light spaces.   Boiler Rooms, Myths, and Real Risks  From Nightmare on Elm Street to Tower of Terror, pop culture loves dim steam, tight corridors, and clangy pipe-labyrinths. Trace contrasts that imagery with what matters to pros: light, ventilation, a stable work surface, and time for observation. He urges listeners to advocate for basics—task lighting, a table, and smarter workflow—so test results are usable, repeatable, and defensible.  Sampling That Won't Scare Your Data  Sampling isn't the job—thinking is. Trace reviews essentials: collect safely (sample coolers when available), fill bottles with no headspace, cool samples to about "hand-holdable" (~100°F) before running tests, and remember temperature and prep sensitivities—especially sulfite tests that use starch. Poor cooling "cooks the potatoes," skewing readings. Tie every test to a hypothesis about system behavior; use results to prove or disprove what you think is happening.  Observation > Automation  Don't just grab a bottle and walk. Log pressures and temperatures (DA/FT), verify blowdown practices (including surface blow and any cooling devices), check the sample cooler, and review boiler logs. Pair disciplined observation with testing so numbers have context.  Stretch Past the "Butterfly Line"  Halloween also prompts a leadership challenge: if you haven't felt "butterflies" lately, are you still stretching? Trace revisits public-speaking growth, previews his AWT presentations (presenting craft, Start With Why, Working Genius, and processes), and encourages pros to reframe nerves as excitement on the way to competence.  Make the boiler room less cinematic and more professional. Better lighting, better setup, and hypothesis-driven testing produce better calls—and better outcomes for customers.  Listen to the full conversation above. Explore related episodes below.

Hi friend! The holidays have a way of sneaking up on us don't they! Then suddenly our calendars are overflowing.

Send us a textTired of hearing “quality” without seeing the difference? We dig into how small, family-run shed businesses win by diversifying into what rural customers truly need—safe rooms, metal buildings, shipping containers, and even culverts—while keeping service at the center. Instead of chasing every opportunity, we talk through how to add products that align with current logistics, training, and equipment so teams can scale without chaos. You'll hear why on‑lot displays and side‑by‑side examples sell complex options better than slogans, and how a focused CRM and clean follow‑up turn walk‑ins into long‑term customers.We also unpack the economics behind big structures. Yes, percentage margins can be thinner, but ticket sizes drive strong absolute profit and stickier relationships. Pair that with rent‑to‑own, and you create a path for families to secure essentials like concrete safe rooms when cash is tight but safety can't wait. The strategy is simple: be the rural solutions yard where people come to touch, compare, and ask hard questions. If you're operating inside a 60‑ to 100‑mile radius, this approach builds trust—and repeat business.Zooming out, we tackle where the industry is headed. Expect more consolidation chatter, with manufacturers eyeing vendors and vice versa, but also a clearer split: national players mass‑producing sheds at scale, and local companies thriving through diversified, community‑minded offerings. Along the way, we share a personal health update that reframes resilience and gratitude, and we lean into generational sustainability—estate planning, leadership transitions, and financial stewardship that keep family enterprises strong. If you believe a rising tide lifts all boats, this conversation is your playbook for growing the pie, not just your slice.If this resonated, follow the show, share it with a colleague who needs a fresh strategy, and leave a quick review to help more builders and dealers find us.

Episode Title: Thunderstorm Sounds for Sleeping: Intense DownpourDescription: Drift into deep, restorative sleep with the immersive roar of an intense rainstorm. This episode layers heavy rain, rolling thunder, and distant rumbles to create a cocoon of sound that masks distractions and promotes calm. Whether you're winding down after a long day, meditating, or seeking focus while you study, this rich soundscape helps ease tension and quiet a busy mind.Tips for best results:Play at a comfortable volume and use headphones or a speaker with gentle bass.Dim the lights and try slow breathing: inhale for 4 counts, exhale for 6.Pair with a simple visualization—imagine a cozy room as the rain pours outside.Settle in, let the rain fall, and give yourself permission to rest.=======DISCLAIMER
