When you're in the early stages of starting your coaching business, it can be really hard to decide whether you should try to get a job to earn money while you get your business off the ground — or whether you should just go all in.That's a big part of what I coach Lori Townsend on in this coaching episode of the podcast. And if you're a coach, a health coach, a consultant, or anyone making a career pivot into work you actually love, this one is for you.Lori spent 25 years in corporate enterprise transformation and agile coaching before deciding to go build the thing she'd actually wanted since she first fell in love with coaching over a decade ago. She's also a gym owner in Tallahassee, Florida, where most of her members are university students. She came to this call genuinely stuck on what to do next — and what we found is that the answer had been sitting directly in front of her the whole time.This is a real, unedited coaching session, so you get to hear the different turns our conversation took to get to a great outcome for Lori — clarity and confidence about her next move.In this episode you'll hear:How to decide between getting a job and going all in on your business — and the one thing that determines the answerThe two things you actually need to have a coaching business (and why everything else is optional)Why building a coaching business is a completely different kind of hard than a brick and mortar — and why nobody warns you about thatWhat your unfair advantage is, and why most people leaving corporate in their 50s and 60s walk right past theirsThe layers you have to dig through to find a real niche — and why the problem YOU see isn't the one that gets someone to pay youWhy selling the prevention of a problem someone doesn't have yet is one of the hardest things to marketSuperimposer syndrome — how one person's "I can't afford it" turns into "nobody will pay me," and what it costs youThe difference between a workshop that's lovely and a workshop that actually convertsIf you've been waiting until you feel ready, until you have the next certification, until the whole thing is built — you're going to love this one!Find Lori:Steelyard Gym: www.steelyardgym.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/steelyardgymPassionate & Prosperous LIVE!: Your Genius Edge is October 16th & 17th in New York City — and there are only a few tickets left.

surrounded by a large ancient gate.It: Le vigne si estendevano a perdita d'occhio, come onde verdi ondeggianti nel caldo abbraccio dell'estate tardiva.En: The vineyards stretched as far as the eye could see, like green waves undulating in the warm embrace of late summer.It: Al centro di questo paesaggio mozzafiato, c'era una vecchia casa colonica dalle mura di pietra, dove viveva e lavorava Alessandro, un appassionato produttore di vino.En: At the center of this breathtaking landscape, there was an old farmhouse with stone walls, where Alessandro, a passionate wine producer, lived and

his vines, cultivated with care and love.It: Ma non tutti nel villaggio condividevano la sua visione.En: But not everyone in the village shared his vision.It: La comunità vinicola era divisa tra tradizione e modernità.En: The wine community was divided between tradition and modernity.It: La moglie di Alessandro, Livia, e il suo amico Marco erano nel consiglio, e spesso parlavano con entusiasmo delle nuove tecnologie che avrebbero reso la produzione di vino più veloce e più semplice.En: Alessandro's wife, Livia, and his friend Marco were on the council and often spoke

say.It: "Risparmieremo tempo e fatica."En: "We'll save time and effort."It: Livia sosteneva l'idea di Marco, sperando di migliorare l'efficienza e il rendimento.En: Livia supported Marco's idea,

brillavano di passione.En: "Wine is an art, not an industrial production," he replied, his eyes shining with passion.It: "Si fa con il cuore, non con le macchine."En: "It is made with the heart, not with machines."It: L'atmosfera nel consiglio diventò tesa.En: The atmosphere in the council became tense.It: Livia e Marco cercarono di convincere Alessandro a cambiare idea.En: Livia and Marco tried to persuade Alessandro to change his mind.It: Tuttavia, lui restava fermo.En: However, he stood firm.It: Sentiva che abbandonare i metodi tradizionali significava tradire la sua famiglia, il loro lavoro e i ricordi.En: He felt that abandoning traditional methods meant betraying his family, their work, and their memories.It: Un giorno, Alessandro convocò il consiglio nella sua vigna.En: One day, Alessandro called the council to his vineyard.It: Li guidò tra i filari di uva matura, spiegando con calma ma determinazione il significato di ogni passo che aveva imparato dai suoi avi.En: He led them among the rows of ripe grapes, explaining calmly yet determinedly the meaning of each step he had learned from his ancestors.It: Parlava di cura e pazienza, di come i sapori intricati si sviluppassero con tempo e amore.En: He spoke of care and patience, of how intricate flavors developed with time and love.It: "Il nostro vino è conosciuto per il suo sapore unico," disse.En: "Our wine is known for its unique flavor," he said.It: "Non possiamo perdere ciò che lo rende speciale."En: "We cannot lose what makes it special."It: Dopo il suo discorso, Livia e Marco rimasero in silenzio per un momento.En: After his speech, Livia and Marco remained silent for a moment.It: La dedizione di Alessandro era palpabile.En: Alessandro's dedication was palpable.It: Con il cuore aperto dalla sincerità e dalla passione di Alessandro, decisero di sostenere il suo sogno.En: With hearts opened by his sincerity and passion, they decided to support his dream.It: Quando la vendemmia finì, il

insieme, certi che il rispetto della tradizione fosse parte del loro futuro.En: In the warm light of the Tuscan sunset, they toasted together, certain that respect for tradition was part of their future.It: E così, tra le colline e le vigne della Toscana, la storia di Alessandro e del suo vino continuò, unendo passato e presente con forza rinnovata e spirito comune.En: And so, among the hills

Late plugs for Commercial Street and Boone County. Then discussion of the new E-Bike laws in Illinois. Get tires are TreadSavvy.com Cast: Leah Sanda, Tim Strelecki and Robert Curtis The Road Is Dead Podcast is based on what happens when people visit a bicycle business and get to talking. Topics can range widely from riding, road cycling enthusiasts, cyclocross racing, gravel racing, road racing, professional and amateur racing, grassroots cycling and events, industry discussions and trends. While based in the greater Chicagoland area regular guests are from all over. Main focus is on US domestic cycling. Guests range from Pro cyclists, industry veterans, race promoters and announcers, to just cool people that walked in. Passionate discussion you won't hear in the cycling media - we don't tow company lines and we're not afraid to discuss rumors, tell you when something is bad, or otherwise do something the others would avoid.
In part four of A Day in the Life, Pastor Robey Barnes explores what it looks like to build a life saturated in prayer and fueled by passionate praise. From the early church's devotion to prayer in Acts 2 to powerful moments throughout Scripture, we see that prayer isn't about giving God a to-do list or trying to control the outcome—it's an act of surrender rooted in knowing who God is. When praise reminds us of His power, goodness, and authority, our perspective begins to change. Discover how a daily rhythm of prayer and praise can deepen our dependence on God, stir our awe of Him, and teach us to confidently call on the name of the Lord in every season.
Pastor Brent Thomas preaches from Colossians 4:2-4 to help us understand both the theology and practice of prayer. Prayer is the privilege of drawing near to the Father, through the Son, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Because God commands us to pray, hears us when we pray, and works through prayer, we should devote ourselves to being purposeful in prayer.
Someone out there is looking for exactly what you do. So what makes them choose you over the hundred other people offering something that sounds just like it? Whether you're a coach, a consultant, a speaker, an author, or a service-based business owner, that's the question underneath everything — and most people are confusing building a brand and having clear messaging with a social media marketing strategy.In this episode I'm sitting down with my friend Tiffany Neuman, founder of Your Legacy Brand and creator of Brand OS Pro to talk about what branding and messaging is from a true professional. Tiffany was a creative director and trend predictor for Adidas and Burt's Bees, has taught branding at the university level for over 15 years, contributes to Entrepreneur and has been featured in Forbes multiple times as a branding expert. She's also one of the amazing sponsors and panelists for Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! this October in NYC!I wanted you to hear from a real branding expert, because that word has gotten so muddied that most people don't know the difference between building a personal brand that turns you into a “category of one” and marketing - which do crossover - but are not one and the same.Tiffany and I go deep on what actually makes someone distinguishable — where a brand really comes from, why it has so much less to do with design and one-liners than anyone expects, and so much more to do with who you've become and what you're finally willing to say out loud about yourself and your work.In this episode you'll hear:The difference between your brand and your marketing — and why confusing the two keeps business owners stuck for yearsWhat actually makes up a personal brand, long before you get anywhere near a logo or a color paletteWhy you can't brand your way out of an offer that isn't selling yetThe thing most people build their business around that's quietly excluding the very clients they wantWhat has to get integrated before your brand can genuinely feel like youHow to own your expertise out loud when you've been conditioned your whole life to play smallWhy repeating yourself is a feature and not a bugWhat still makes someone stand out when every website and every piece of copy is starting to sound the sameIf you've been avoiding your brand because you don't know where to start — or quietly wondering if you need to blow the whole thing up and begin again — this conversation is going to make it all feel a lot clearer.Tiffany will be with us for BOTH days at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!, on the panel — The Human Edge: Building Your Personal Brand in the Age of AI. And because she's a sponsor, every person in the room is getting Brand OS Pro, her authority positioning sprint that walks you through the exact process she uses with her one-on-one clients and leaves you with your own brand manual.Find Tiffany:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/tiffanyneuman/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tiffanyneumancreative/Free authority bio agent: https://yourlegacybrand.com/bio/Your Legacy Brand: https://yourlegacybrand.com/Passionate & Prosperous LIVE!: Your Genius Edge is October 16th & 17th in New York City — and there are only about 10 tickets left in the room.

Carolyn Sherrow is a writer and former physician assistant who practiced medicine for twenty‑three years in high‑pressure clinical settings. Her memoir, MyPersonal Holocaust, explores trauma‑based dissociation and her experience living as a high‑functioning DID survivor for decades. Her internal architecture was complex, organized, and covert, with four identifiable alters and unnamed guardian parts. These parts were not dramatic or theatrical; they held and expressed facets of her personality. Her youngest part emerged only in absolute safety, while two ten‑year‑old twins carried emotional and developmental roles, and the adult part maintained thefaçade of normalcy. After her mother's passing, Carolyn broke her silence and began speaking openly about shame identity and early trauma. Her website, CordsOfGrace.com, offers her memoir in eBook and audiobook formats, along with companion PDFs andstudy questions. She continues writing and speaking about healing and identity.Link to episode can be found here: #drdanamzallag, #drdanpodcast, #Happinessjourneywithdrdan,#ddanmotivation, #inspiringinterviews, #drdancbt, #drdantherapy,#drdancoaching, #drdanhappiness,
Global Ed Leaders | International School Leadership Insights
This week, we're revisiting a favourite from the archives. Shane sits down with Katharine Birbalsingh, founder and headmistress of Michaela Community School, the free school in a converted Wembley office block that has posted the highest Progress 8 scores in England for three consecutive years. Katharine explains why she's never once used an agenda in a meeting, why simplicity beats choice in almost every part of school life, and why she believes real autonomy only works when staff genuinely own what they're building together.You'll hear the ice cream cone analogy Katharine uses to explain why schools quietly become too complicated over time, why she deliberately warns candidates about the parts of Michaela they might not like before hiring them, and how she applies the logic of the dating world to setting standards with parents and pupils alike. Whether or not you agree with her approach, this conversation will push you to think harder about what genuine conviction in leadership actually looks like.Resources & Links Mentioned:Michaela Community SchoolThe Battle Hymn of the Tiger Teachers, edited by Katharine BirbalsinghThe Schools We Need and Why We Don't Have Them by E.D.

You've had a great week. Maybe even a great month. It feels like things are finally clicking—and you're sure you're close to a breakthrough. But then market conditions change, pressure returns, and the same old pattern shows up again.

Too much has been happening. Luckily we got some time to get the process rolling again. Some mtb recaps, some Grit, Some Little Apple, etc. This episode is dedicated to Dave Schneider. Get tires are TreadSavvy.com Cast: Leah Sanda, Tim Strelecki and Robert Curtis The Road Is Dead Podcast is based on what happens when people visit a bicycle business and get to talking. Topics can range widely from riding, road cycling enthusiasts, cyclocross racing, gravel racing, road racing, professional and amateur racing, grassroots cycling and events, industry discussions and trends. While based in the greater Chicagoland area regular guests are from all over. Main focus is on US domestic cycling. Guests range from Pro cyclists, industry veterans, race promoters and announcers, to just cool people that walked in. Passionate discussion you won't hear in the cycling media - we don't tow company lines and we're not afraid to discuss rumors, tell you when something is bad, or otherwise do something the others would avoid.
If you're building a business where actual humans pay you to work with them, there's a part of it almost nobody is talking about — and it's the part that determines whether people buy from you, stay with you, and tell other people about you. And it's not your marketing – it's the experience.In this episode I'm joined by my friend Natalie Madrigal, founder of Perfect Your CX, who spent more than a decade in customer success and community across tech — including Meta and Google for Education — before building a business helping expert-led businesses turn the customers and community they already have into their biggest source of growth, revenue and referrals. (She's also on the panel at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! this October, and I could not wait to have this conversation with her!)In this juicy episode Natalie and I cover a lot of ground! We get into why the experience someone has with you starts long before they ever pay you a dime, and what it means to deliver on the promise your brand is making. We talk about the trust recession — where it came from, what the boom of the last few years did to people's willingness to invest, and how much of that comes down to people buying things and then being completely abandoned. And one of the things we are both obsessed with is how the customer experience has been flattened into "systems and automations" in the online space, and why that's backwards — because this is actually one of the best places in your whole business to let your personality and your judgment show. We break down the difference between being salesy and making someone feel special (which is something I coach on constantly!) And we geek out on retention as a revenue strategy, which almost nobody in this industry talks about.In this episode you'll hear:Where the customer experience actually begins — and why it's much earlier than most people thinkWhy "customer experience" is not the same thing as systems and automations, and what gets lost when you treat them as interchangeableWhat the trust recession is, where it came from, and what it means for anyone selling human-centered work right nowThe difference between being pushy and making someone feel seen — and why following up is not the same as being salesyWhy retention might be the most overlooked revenue strategy in this entire industryWhat to actually automate, what to keep your own eyes on, and how to tell the differenceThe small, unglamorous things you can start doing right now, whether you have three clients or three thousandNatalie is a sponsor and will be at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! for both days this October, as well as on the panel — The Human Edge: Building Your Personal Brand in the Age of AI.

In this episode of the Millionaire Car Salesman Podcast, Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams unpack what it really means to become part of your local community, and why simply sponsoring an event or putting your logo on a banner isn't enough. "People need to see people that look like them succeed." - LA Williams They explore how automotive professionals can build genuine relationships, create stronger local visibility, and become recognizable, trusted figures in the markets they serve. From finding the right organizations and causes to support, to using social media, networking, and modern tools to uncover new opportunities, this conversation is all about turning community presence into meaningful connection. "Use the resources to help us get what it is that we want." - LA Williams If you want to strengthen your personal brand, expand your local network, and create opportunities that go far beyond traditional prospecting, this episode will give you a fresh way to think about community building without giving away the entire playbook. Key Takeaways: ✅ Genuine community involvement goes beyond sponsorship; it requires personal engagement and relationship building. ✅ Becoming a local celebrity involves immersing oneself in community events and initiatives, acting as both a business leader and community advocate. ✅ Empowering employees to support causes that are significant to them can lead to increased passion and effectiveness in community outreach. ✅ Utilizing AI tools can streamline identifying potential partners and opportunities for community network development. ✅ Success in automotive sales can be amplified by focusing on the needs and interests of the community, thus building reciprocal relationships. About Sean V. Bradley Sean V. Bradley is a renowned automotive sales training expert and the President of Dealer Synergy. With decades of experience, he has transformed car dealerships across the nation through innovative sales and marketing strategies. Bradley is the co-creator of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast and a highly sought-after speaker and consultant in the automotive industry. About LA Williams LA Williams is the "Blind Master" Vice President with Dealer Synergy and co-creator of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast. Despite being blind, he has made a significant mark in the automotive sales industry with his expertise in phone sales and business development. LA Williams is known for his motivational speaking and his remarkable ability to overcome life's challenges. Becoming the Local Celebrity: Building Community Ties for Automotive Success Key Takeaways Community engagement isn't just about sponsorships but involves personal, impactful involvement that resonates deeply with local residents. Transforming employees into advocates for their preferred charities enhances dealership reputation and motivates staff. AI tools can streamline and optimize community outreach, fostering meaningful connections that drive business success. Embracing Community Involvement for Dealership Growth In the fast-paced world of automotive sales, dealerships often prioritize transactions over relationships. However, as Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams of the Millionaire Car Salesman podcast highlight, the true key to sustainable success lies in becoming a "local celebrity" — someone deeply involved in and connected to the community. Sean emphasizes, "If you want the community to support you, you have to support the community." This concept roots itself in genuine interactions, where dealerships are not merely transactional entities but community pillars. Local businesses, sports teams, and groups represent untapped potential. Engaging with them goes beyond placing logos in visible places; it demands real, face-to-face interaction. By attending games, sponsoring workshops, and directly contributing to community needs, dealerships can cultivate authentic relationships. LA Williams states, "Community is where the people are…we're in the people business, but we don't act like it." This sentiment underscores the notion that genuine community involvement creates an emotional bank account, fostering loyalty and repeated business. Building a Referral Network Through Community Ties Fostering relationships within the community extends beyond social obligations. It is a strategic move that can propel a dealership to new heights. As automotive professionals spend their days hunting for leads and closing deals, they might overlook the importance of nurturing lasting community relationships. Sean Bradley proposes a methodical approach: "I want to see what options there are, whether at the home field or at the home basketball court." Through consistent community presence, a dealership positions itself as a trusted entity — the first choice when a community member considers purchasing a vehicle. Engaging deeply within the local social fabric turns everyday interactions into potential referrals. For example, attending local sports events not only offers a platform to showcase the dealership but also opens dialogues that could lead to future sales. Sub-host LA Williams offers a practical method to ignite these conversations: "I have people…they'll come up to you…and you say, 'I'm glad you asked, I work with ABC Motors.'" Through these interactions, dealerships cultivate a network of recurring referrals, expanding their client base organically. Leveraging AI for Strategic Community Engagement While personal connections are invaluable, technology offers remarkable efficiency in managing and expanding these networks. ChatGPT and other AI tools, as demonstrated in the podcast, provide substantial support in creating a systematic engagement plan. Sean Bradley illustrates this during the show: "I had AI create for me all the different people in the Warminster area that I should reach out to." AI can automate outreach efforts, enabling dealerships to maintain consistent communication with potential collaborators and clients. This technology identifies which businesses to engage, offers scripts for interaction, and suggests optimal communication timelines. With these tools, dealers can manage wide-reaching community relationships efficiently, ensuring that no opportunity slips through the cracks. AI complements the personal touch, expanding the dealership's reach without sacrificing the depth of human connection. Utilizing AI, as Sean articulates, dealers can optimize their efforts, "Join all the local groups…Look at joining Facebook and LinkedIn groups." These platforms offer invaluable insights and connections, enabling the dealership to become a fully integrated part of the community's social and professional ecosystem. By Empowering Employees, Build a Passionate and Dedicated Team To achieve true community integration, dealership management must recognize and channel the passions of their employees. Inviting staff to voice the causes and charities they support allows dealerships to align their community outreach strategies with genuine employee interests. Sean Bradley proposes a democratic approach: "These aren't going to be the top eight coming from me… I want to get behind what's important to you." This inclusivity not only inspires and motivates employees, who often feel undervalued, but also personalizes and deepens the dealership's community engagement. When employees are actively engaged in causes they care about, they're more likely to put in the effort to ensure the success of these initiatives. Furthermore, this involvement enhances the dealership's reputation as an organization that genuinely cares, resonating well with the community and fostering trust and goodwill. Successful automotive sales go beyond the conventional metrics of transaction volume and revenue. By becoming local influencers, dealerships can tap into an authentic power that transforms community relationships into long-term business growth. As Sean V. Bradley and LA Williams emphasize, it's not just about being in the community but building the community that matters most. By melding strategic AI utility with genuine human interaction and employee empowerment, dealerships can cultivate an environment where success is inevitable, interconnected, and shared.

Simon explores the rising trend of unethical and poorly structured deals in the property market, highlighting how bad advice and a lack of tax knowledge can devastate motivated sellers. Through real-world case studies involving lease options, mortgage arrangements, and unexpected Capital Gains Tax liabilities, he breaks down why pushing sellers into cornered deals inevitably backfires. Simon provides essential guidance on navigating upcoming budget changes, structuring creative strategies like vendor finance properly, and ensuring every transaction delivers a genuine, ethical win-win outcome. KEY TAKEAWAYS Squeezing motivated sellers into bad deals frequently causes transactions to collapse, wasting both parties' time and money. Unethical or incompetent deal structuring can leave sellers with massive unexpected Capital Gains Tax bills while stripping away their cash flow. If another party pays a landlord's mortgage, HMRC still treats that mortgage payment as taxable income for the property owner. Truly successful property investing relies on structuring ethical, win-win solutions that protect your reputation and let you sleep well at night. BEST MOMENTS "If you push a seller too hard, push them into a corner, get them to agree to something they don't really, really want to do, it's more than likely they're going to change their mind, back out of the deal..." "When we're dealing with people's financial situations, we really need to be educated, we need to be aware of all the implications—not just the current implications, but also future implications." "I truly believe if we look for the win-win ethical solution, we can sleep well at night knowing we've helped someone and we've made money at the same time." "Make sure you consider not just the current situation, but also the future situation, especially if it's an investment property and there may be some tax liability they're going to have to pay in the future.” VALUABLE RESOURCES To find your local pin meeting visit: www.PinMeeting.co.uk and use voucher code PODCAST to attend you first meeting as Simon's guest (instead of paying the normal £20).

"The most important advice I ever received is that you cannot call a piece 'done' until you have sung through every part, beginning to end, and 90% of the time changed at least one thing because of that sing-through. I think I'm a good music reader, but I'm going to falter at the things that most people would on a first read. If I'm singing through my music and I struggle to find an interval, that immediately gets flagged: Is this worth keeping? Is there a way I can support this so that it becomes an easier interval to find?”Ryan Main (b. 1984) is an award-winning composer, director, and clinician whose music for choirs and bands is performed at all levels worldwide. His compositions have been performed across the globe and extensively throughout the United States, frequently showcased at prestigious events such as national and regional American Choral Directors Association Conferences, festivals, Carnegie Hall, and other distinguished venues.Born in the Kansas City, Missouri area, Ryan began his post-secondary music education at the Conservatory of Music and Dance at the University of Missouri–Kansas City (2003–2006), earning a Bachelor of Music in Music Composition.

How can an intentional career trajectory help you create your ideal job? In the thought leadership pieces he has published on LinkedIn for years, Riccardo Cosentino has been transparent about the hard work that has led to his success, as well as the burnout and failures along the way. This episode provides a peek behind the publishing curtain: Mikaila Kukurudza, who writes those well-read pieces based on conversations with Riccardo, takes her insightful interviewing process on the record. The probing behind-the-scenes conversation with Riccardo explores his recent transition into the role of SVP of Nuclear Financing at AtkinsRéalis. The two cover emerging opportunities—both cultivated and circumstantial—and shine a light on the way major programmes ties into the changing needs of this resurging industry.Riccardo reflects on why nuclear became the clear next step in his career and how the demands of financing these energy endeavours compare to transit projects. The conversation also goes beyond the technical to examine the personal questions underneath: how to learn at a senior level, how to create opportunities that did not previously exist in pursuit of purpose, and how to manage burnout. Riccardo is open about what this transition has taught him about motivation, leadership, failure, and returning to the kind of major programmes work that energizes him the most.Key TakeawaysWhat makes financing nuclear projects different from financing other major infrastructure;Why nuclear power has re-entered the conversation around energy sovereignty and long-term infrastructure planning;Why creating your own opportunity can require curiosity, persistence, and a willingness to hit dead ends;How senior leaders continue learning when stepping into new industries or highly specialized roles;What the career roadmap can teach about leadership, empathy, and impact.Quote: “All the things I've done since 2019…I was looking for a purpose." - Riccardo CosentinoThe conversation doesn't stop here—connect and converse with our community via LinkedIn:Follow Navigating Major Programmes: https://www.linkedin.com/company/navigating-major-programmes/ Follow Riccardo Cosentino: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cosentinoriccardo/ Read Riccardo's latest at www.riccardocosentino.com Listen to Riccardo's article on burnout: https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/grass-greener-riccardo-cosentino/ Follow Mikaila Kukurudza: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mikaila-kukurudza/

THE HOMEOPATHY HEALTH SHOW Professor Jean Duckworth: Education, Ethics & the Future of Homeopathy Episode Summary What does it truly mean to educate a homeopath in the modern world? In this thought-provoking and deeply philosophical episode of the Homeopathy Health Show, Atiq & Naila welcome Professor Jean Duckworth - one of the most respected educators, researchers and academic leaders in contemporary homeopathy. Drawing upon decades of experience in higher education, clinical practice and research, Professor Duckworth reflects on her remarkable journey from law and academia into homeopathy, explores the evolution of homeopathic education, and discusses why today's practitioners need far more than simply knowledge of remedies. The conversation moves beyond materia medica into ethics, critical thinking, mentorship, artificial intelligence, integrated healthcare, and the responsibility every homeopath has towards patients, the profession and future generations. This is an inspiring conversation about preserving the heart of homeopathy whilst embracing innovation with wisdom, integrity and purpose. In This Episode We Explore A Journey That Led to Homeopathy Professor Duckworth's unexpected path from law and legal education into homeopathy. Why following purpose became more important than following career. Discovering a profession that never stopped inspiring curiosity and passion. The Evolution of Homeopathic Education The changing landscape of university-based homeopathic education. Why future practitioners need confidence as well as knowledge. Building apprenticeship-style learning that prepares students for real clinical practice. Teaching Students to Think Why case-taking cannot be replaced by algorithms. Developing intuition alongside clinical reasoning. The importance of recognising the "goosebump moment" during a consultation when the centre of the case begins to reveal itself. Tradition Meets Innovation Respecting classical homeopathy while embracing modern approaches. Integrating new methodologies without losing the foundations of the Organon. How practitioners develop their own unique style whilst remaining true to homeopathic principles. Artificial Intelligence & The Future of Homeopathy Opportunities and concerns surrounding AI in homeopathic education. Protecting intellectual property and generations of homeopathic knowledge. Why AI should support clinical thinking rather than replace it. The importance of secure, closed AI systems that protect patient confidentiality and professional knowledge. Modern Patients, Modern Challenges How today's patients differ from those seen decades ago. Environmental stress, technology, toxicity and changing emotional landscapes. Why homeopathy continues to evolve alongside humanity itself. Professional Unity Why homeopaths must celebrate diversity rather than division. Moving beyond labels of classical, contemporary or protocol-based practice. Focusing on one shared mission: helping patients recover health. Integrated Healthcare & Professional Identity Can homeopathy work alongside conventional healthcare without losing its essence? The opportunities and limitations of integration. Maintaining professional standards whilst protecting the unique philosophy of homeopathy. The Sacred Responsibility of the Homeopath Why every patient's story deserves respect and honour. Listening as one of the greatest healing tools. Becoming the very best practitioner you can be instead of comparing yourself with others. About Our Guest Professor Jean Duckworth Professor Jean Duckworth is one of the United Kingdom's leading educators in homeopathy, with a distinguished career spanning clinical practice, higher education, research and professional leadership. A qualified homeopath since the 1990s, she previously served for over two decades at the University of Central Lancashire (UCLan), where she led both the BSc Homeopathic Medicine and MSc Homeopathy programmes, mentoring generations of practitioners. Holding qualifications in law, education, bioethics and homeopathy, Professor Duckworth completed her PhD exploring the lived experiences of midwife homeopaths and has contributed extensively to research, ethics, integrated healthcare and academic development within the profession. Today she continues her work as Professor of Homeopathy at Remedy Academy, where she is helping shape a new generation of practitioners through innovative education, clinical supervision and mentorship. Passionate about preserving the philosophical foundations of homeopathy whilst embracing responsible innovation, she remains a powerful advocate for excellence, critical thinking and compassionate patient care.

Passionate conservationist Nicola Toki chats to Jesse about this week's critter of the week, the brown tree frog. With its cricket-like call, sticky climbing toes and talent for blending into the garden, this little Australian import has made itself right at home in parts of Aotearoa. You're more likely to hear one before you see one, especially on a damp evening when the chorus gets going.
Hev, K-Mac, Hosko and Isaac are assembled at IKON Park for Hawthorn to take on Melbourne in the AFLW - and true to form, Hosko is being a menace in the commentary box. We've dug back into the history of AFLW, and found audio of both Hosko and K-Mac from their first seasons - where they perhaps weren't as polished behind a microphone as they are now. Merv Hughes joins the show from Darwin with a review of Day One of the first test between Australia and Bangladesh. In K-Mac's Royal Commission, she responds to an article asking why the AFL has given up a lucrative night for men's footy to put AFLW as a standalone game - and Hosko joins in with a passionate plea to give the AFLW the chances it needs to grow. Finally, Hawthorn star Aine McDonagh joins Hev and K-Mac on the boundary, and dishes a bit of dirt on the afterparty following the Australia vs Ireland game.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
There are two stories being sold about AI right now, and both of them will keep you stuck. One says it's going to replace you and everything you do will be obsolete. The other says you're already behind and if you're not using it for a hundred things you'll never catch up. If you've been feeling some version of both at the same time, this conversation is for you.In this episode I'm joined by my friend Terri Trespicio — messaging expert, author of Unfollow Your Passion, and the voice behind a viral TEDx talk with more than eight million views — and we're getting into what this moment actually asks of us as people who do human-centered work. This isn't an anti-AI conversation. We both use it every day. What we're really talking about is what the tool can carry and what it absolutely cannot, and why the part it can't carry is the part your entire business is built on.Terri makes a case in this conversation that I have not been able to stop thinking about: AI isn't replacing creativity, it's relocating it. The work moves upstream, into your choices, your questions, your judgment about what's even worth making. Which means the better you know what's yours, the more useful the tool becomes — and the less you know, the more generic everything you produce will be. We go back and forth on what that looks like in practice, where each of us draws the line, and why the thing that makes your work worth paying for was never the output in the first place. It was the taste, the lived experience and the stories behind it, and none of that exists inside a machine.In this episode you'll hear:The two fear stories about AI that are keeping people paralyzed — and why neither one is serving youWhat AI genuinely can't do, no matter how good it gets — and why that's the most valuable real estate in your businessWhy you are a creative even if you have never once thought of yourself that wayWhat it actually takes to get something out of these tools that sounds like you and not like everyone elseWhy there is no perfect template, formula, or launch sequence — and what to trust insteadWhat human-centered work requires that an automated business never willTerri is also the founder of The Studio, a virtual, critic-free, judgment-free writing room that runs in real time Monday through Friday — for business owners, brand owners, authors, and anyone who wants to write. And Terri is going to be in the room with us at Passionate & Prosperous LIVE! this October, on the panel I built specifically for this conversation — The Human Edge: Building Your Personal Brand in the Age of AI. She was the very first person I invited, before I even knew what the panel was going to be. And she's not just showing up for her hour and leaving — she'll be there with all of us, which means you get to actually meet her.If you've been quietly wondering how much of your thinking you're supposed to be handing over — this one will settle you down and remind you what you're actually here to do.Find Terri:Website: territrespicio.com Instagram: @territrespicioNew Rules Studio https://members.territrespicio.com/~access/a1c2024f/The Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp is a FREE five-day virtual event starting Monday, August 17th — you'll leave knowing exactly what to focus on, and you get a free coaching call.

The Great Product Owner: The Co-Leader Who Mastered the PO Stances Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "Co-leadership means both sharing leadership in a lateral way, not a disciplinary way—the PO owns the technical part, the Scrum Master the organizational part." - Havva Sevay Havva's best Product Owner already understood co-leadership—and went further. He used the Product Owner stances from Scrum.org as a feedback tool, asking the team to rate him on each stance (customer representative, company representative, and so on) with a percentage, then using that input to improve his skills deliberately. It's the same mindset Scrum Masters can adopt with their own stances: be aware of the options, get honest feedback, and adapt to the context, because the right stance changes over time. A great PO, in Havva's experience, treats their role as a skill set to be developed in partnership—not a title to defend. Self-reflection Question: Could the PO stances become a feedback tool in your team—and would you be willing to be rated on your own Scrum Master stances? The Bad Product Owner: "The Scrum Master Is My Secretary" Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "The worst is the PO who believes he's the product manager and the Scrum Master is the secretary. I said: I'm not your assistant, I don't bring your coffee." - Havva Sevay The worst anti-pattern Havva has lived through is the Product Owner who treats the Scrum Master as a secretary—there to share the screen, organize the meeting, and take orders. Havva confronted it directly in a one-on-one: this is upside down. My job is to teach self-organization, not to be your assistant. But she didn't stop at the boundary—she helped the PO understand her role and walked in his shoes too, even sending him to a Scrum Master training while she experienced his responsibilities. Her strongest recommendation: from the very first meeting with a Product Owner, talk explicitly about who does what, surface expectations, and agree how you'll work together. Don't assume they know your job—or that you know theirs. The way out of the "secretary" trap is co-leadership: lateral, shared leadership built on time and trust. Self-reflection Question: Have you ever explicitly agreed with your Product Owner on who is responsible for what—or are you both operating on untested assumptions?

Havva Sevay: Success Is Feedback, Not Metrics—And the Power of Standing in Someone Else's Shoes Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "My success is not metrics or numbers—that was my controller past. I measure myself through feedback, and through team satisfaction." - Havva Sevay As a former project controller, Havva could have defined success in numbers. Instead, she measures it through feedback and team satisfaction. As long as people keep talking to her—telling her how she can be a better Scrum Master—she considers that success, and she treats even hard feedback as learning. But the most striking part of her definition is the discipline of standing in someone else's shoes. When a developer suggested she'd give better advice if she understood programming, she took the Scrum Developer training—the hardest training she's ever done—just to feel the team's daily reality. Vasco connects it to coaching a team that builds tools for other teams: the role isn't to produce the system, it's to make the other teams' lives easier. Havva's takeaway for every Scrum Master: put your shoes in a different position. Understanding the work from the other person's perspective is what drives team success. Self-reflection Question: How do you measure your own success as a Scrum Master—and when did you last experience your team's work from their perspective? [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]
James Tour is not your average university professor - not only is he a professor of three different fields (chemistry, materials science, and nanoengineering) at Rice University in Houston, Texas, but he's also started 17 companies, has many hundreds of patents, and has written over 850 scientific publications. However, those achievements are not what he's most excited about; rather, it's sharing his deeply-rooted faith and seeing thousands over the years coming to Jesus, including one of his Nobel Prize-winning colleagues.

Havva Sevay: AI vs. Real People—Helping Teams Avoid Information Overload Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes. "It's still a tool. It can make mistakes, it can hallucinate. People don't really question it—and that's the danger." - Havva Sevay This week's coaching conversation tackles a challenge Havva—and many Scrum Masters—are living right now: AI vs. real people. For some, AI is a useful tool; for others, it's a magic oracle that solves everything and makes people replaceable. Havva sees the real risk in teams that accept AI's confident answers without double-checking, and in leaders who use AI to generate massive documents and dump them on teams as finished decisions. Vasco pushes the conversation into the practical: when a flood of AI-generated information, requirements, and tool changes lands on a busy team, how do you help them cope? Havva's answer is to step back and ask the human questions first—what is the epic? what does the stakeholder actually want? what do we really need right now? Then she pulls out a deliberately low-tech move: forget AI for one second. Her team uses the Eisenhower matrix manually to separate what's important now from what can wait. AI is a great tool—but the filtering of what matters is still human work. Self-reflection Question: When AI floods your team with information and options, what is your practice for helping them separate what matters now from the noise?

Have you ever felt like you're supposed to be 100% consistent with every single thing you could possibly be doing in your business? The daily video, the posting, the emails, the podcast, the live teaching, the outreach — all of it, all the way, all the time. It's too much pressure. And here's the truth nobody says out loud: you can't show up for every single thing at full capacity. Nobody can. So the real work is figuring out how you choose.I'm recording this in the middle of a genuinely full season — I've got a lot going on in my business right now — and this is exactly the kind of moment where I have to step back and get honest about where my time, energy and focus are actually going. So in this episode I'm walking you through my signature framework, Your Genius Edge, which is exactly how I make those decisions. It's how I know what to double down on, what to just pepper in, and what to let go of without spiraling about it — and it's the thing I come back to every single time this pressure starts building.I'm also getting real about my own version of this, including a type of content I know for a fact is working for me that I still don't want to do — and why that's information about my business rather than something wrong with me. And I'm saying something I feel strongly about: those of us doing the deeper, transformational work need content that can't be crammed into 30 seconds. It's really hard out there when the whole industry is telling you otherwise, and I want you to hear that the short stuff was never going to be all of it.In this episode you'll hear:Why nobody can be equally consistent with everything — and what to do with that instead of beating yourself up about itHow to decide what deserves your consistency and what you can just pepper inWhat it looks like to redefine consistency for YOUR business instead of measuring yourself against someone else's version of itThe difference between avoiding something because you're scared of visibility and avoiding it because it genuinely isn't your best leverWhy the content that gets the most engagement isn't automatically the content to build your business onWhat the deeper, transformational work actually requires from your content — and why the 30-second stuff was never going to be enough on its ownIf you've been quietly beating yourself up for not keeping up with everything, this one is going to take some weight off — and hand you a much better question to be working with.The Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp is a FREE five-day virtual event starting the week of August 17th — registration is open now: https://www.staceybrassrussell.com/the-profitable-coaching-business-bootcampPassionate & Prosperous LIVE!: Your Genius Edge is October 16th & 17th in New York City.
