Prabhleen Kaur: The Art of Coaching Product Owners on What vs. How 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 Great Product Owner: Master of Stakeholder Relationships and the Power of No "The best PO is the person who has the superpower of saying no, and they can deal with the stakeholders with the same prowess." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen describes working with a Product Owner who managed multiple stakeholders—not just a handful, but a significant number with competing priorities. What made him exceptional was his deep understanding of each stakeholder's pulse and motivations. He knew when to push back and how to frame the "no" in a way that stakeholders could accept. This wasn't random resistance—it came from thorough preparation manifested in clear roadmaps that made most incoming work predictable for the team.  His user stories stood out for their richness in context: beyond the business requirements, they included information about who would be impacted, which proved invaluable for a team dealing with multiple interconnected systems.  He leveraged JIRA's priority field effectively, ensuring the moment anyone opened the board, they could immediately understand what mattered most. Prabhleen emphasizes that this PO understood his role as the "what" while respecting the team as the "how." By maintaining strong stakeholder relationships built on mutual understanding, he created space for the team to prepare, plan, and deliver without constant firefighting.   Self-reflection Question: Does your Product Owner have the preparation and stakeholder relationships needed to confidently say "no" when priorities compete, or does every request become an emergency? The Bad Product Owner: Technical Experts Who Manage the Sprint Backlog "The PO is the what, and the team is the how. When POs start directing the team about how to do things, the sprint goal gets compromised." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen addresses a common anti-pattern she's observed repeatedly: Product Owners with technical backgrounds who cross the line from "what" into "how." When POs come from developer or technical roles, their expertise can become a liability if they start prescribing solutions rather than defining problems.  They direct the team on implementation approaches, suggest specific technical solutions in user stories, and effectively manage the sprint backlog instead of focusing on the product backlog. The consequences are predictable: stories keep getting added or removed mid-sprint, the sprint goal becomes meaningless, and the team ends up delivering nothing because focus is constantly shifting.  Prabhleen's solution starts in backlog refinement, where she ensures conversations about technical approaches happen openly with the whole team during estimation. When a PO suggests a specific implementation, she facilitates discussion about alternatives, allowing the team to voice their perspective.  The key insight: everyone comes from a good place—the PO suggests solutions because they believe they're helping. The Scrum Master's role is to create space for the team to own the "how" while helping the PO see the value in stepping back.   Self-reflection Question: When your Product Owner has technical expertise, how do you help them contribute their knowledge without directing the team's implementation choices?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

There are not many aspects this week.There is only… everything.We are in the thick of endings. Not tidy endings. Not Instagram-quote endings. The kind that feel like collapse. The kind that feel like crisis. The kind that ask you to sit very still in the dark and listen.This is eclipse week.This is the first Saturn–Neptune conjunction in Aries.This is the Year of the Fire Horse.Bold action. Rapid innovation. Dramatic societal change. Spiritual acceleration.You may not see mass awakening on the surface.But I assure you — it is happening.The old world is cracking. And when systems crack, nervous systems feel it first.So this week is not about performance.It is about listening.

Prabhleen Kaur: When Team Members Raise Concerns with Clarity, Not Anger 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 idea of success as a Scrum Master is when you look around, you see motivated people, and when something goes wrong, they come to you not in anger, but with concern." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen offers a refreshing perspective on measuring success as a Scrum Master that goes beyond velocity charts and feature counts. She shares a pivotal moment when her team was in production, delivering relentlessly with barely any time to breathe. A team member approached her—not with frustration or blame—but with thoughtful concern: "This is not going to work out." He sat down with Prabhleen and the Product Owner, explaining that as the middle layer in an API creation team, delays from upstream were creating a cascading problem.  What struck Prabhleen wasn't just the identification of the issue, but how he approached it: with options to discuss, not demands to make. This moment crystallized her definition of success. When team members feel safe enough to voice concerns early, when they come with ideas rather than accusations, when they see themselves as part of the solution rather than victims of circumstances—that's when a Scrum Master has truly succeeded.  Prabhleen reminds us that while stakeholders may focus on features delivered, Scrum Masters should watch how well the team responds to change. That adaptability, rooted in psychological safety and mutual trust, is the true measure of a team's maturity.   Self-reflection Question: When problems emerge in your team, do people approach you with defensive anger or constructive concern? What does that tell you about the psychological safety you've helped create? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Keep-Stop-Happy-Gratitude Prabhleen shares her favorite retrospective format, born from necessity when she joined an established team with dismal participation in their standard three-column retrospectives. She transformed it into a four-column approach: (1) What should we keep doing, (2) What should we stop doing, (3) One thing that will make you happy, and (4) Gratitude for the team. The third column—asking what would make team members happy—opened unexpected doors. Suggestions ranged from team outings to skipping Friday stand-ups, giving Prabhleen real-time insights into team needs without waiting for formal working agreement sessions. The gratitude column proved even more powerful. "Appreciation brings a space where trust is automatically built. When every 15 days you're sitting with the team making a point to say thank you to each other for all the work you've done, everybody feels mutually respected," Prabhleen explains. This ties directly to the trust-building discussed in Tuesday's episode—using retrospectives not just to improve processes, but to strengthen the human connections that make teams resilient.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Send a textIn this Fusion Hack, Phoebe Hagan reframes burnout as a signal, not a sentence. She shares how giving yourself freedom—and getting honest about what you don't want—can be the catalyst for real change. Instead of forcing the same routine harder, she walks through the mindset shift of choosing “I want something different,” then aligning your actions with what's actually pulling you forward. For Phoebe, sustainable progress starts when motivation becomes a want-to, rooted in meaning and enjoyment—not pressure, guilt, or identity collapse.A central theme is identity: Phoebe introduces “The Bodybuilder Box,” emphasizing that the how should form your identity, not the what. She uses a slingshot analogy to explain resistance—how feeling stretched or stuck can precede the release into your next level. Burnout, she argues, can sometimes be the best thing that happens because it forces clarity, boundaries, and reinvention. The episode closes with a practical challenge: stay curious about yourself, and keep showing up—even if it starts as “fake it until you make it”—until the mindset becomes embodied and automatic.Phoebe Hagan is an IFBB Bikini Pro from the United Kingdom, known for her elite-level physique, precision posing, and competitive success on the global bodybuilding stage. She made history as the first UK Bikini athlete to place in the top 10 at the Olympia, securing 7th place in her debut. Beyond competition, Phoebe is a dedicated coach, content creator, and fitness influencer, sharing expert insights on training, posing, and mindset through her YouTube channel, social media, and The Posing Portal.

Prabhleen Kaur: How AI Is Changing the Way Agile Teams Deliver Value 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.   "AI's output is not the final output—it's always the two eyes we have that will get us the best results." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen brings a timely challenge to the coaching conversation: the impact of AI on teams and how Scrum Masters should navigate this transformation. She frames it as both a challenge and an opportunity—teams are now capable of delivering faster than consumers can absorb, fundamentally changing expectations and dynamics.  Prabhleen has observed her teams evolve from uncertainty about AI to confidently leveraging it for practical benefits. Developers use AI for writing and understanding code, particularly helpful for onboarding new team members who need to comprehend existing codebases quickly. QA professionals find AI invaluable for generating test cases based on story and epic context already captured in JIRA.  The next frontier? Agentic AI, where AI systems communicate with each other to produce better outputs. But Prabhleen offers an important caution: AI is learning from many conversations, not all of which are reliable. The human element—critical thinking and verification—remains essential.  For Scrum Masters, this means facilitating conversations about how teams want to experiment with AI, exploring edge cases in testing that AI can help identify, and helping teams navigate the evolving landscape of possibilities while maintaining quality and judgment.   Self-reflection Question: How are you helping your team explore AI as a tool for improvement while ensuring they maintain critical thinking about the outputs AI produces?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: When Lack of Trust Turns Teams Into Isolated Individuals 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.   "Teams self-destruct despite best efforts when they lack trust." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen observed a troubling pattern while shadowing a team: stand-ups had become a register activity where people reported individual status without any connection to the sprint goal. There was no "we" in the conversation—only "I."  The team had experienced a missed deadline due to a PR conflict that wasn't merged in time, but instead of addressing it openly, everyone focused on fixing the immediate problem while avoiding the deeper conversation. The discomfort was never voiced, and resentment accumulated silently.  Prabhleen explains that team destruction is never about one action—it's about the accumulation of unspoken concerns that eventually explode at the worst possible moment. To rebuild trust, she recommends starting with peer reviews that encourage natural collaboration and conversation.  Scrum Masters must be vocal about challenges in front of the entire team, modeling the openness they want to see. For teams that have completely withdrawn, anonymous feedback and scheduled one-on-ones can create safe spaces for honest communication. The key insight? Trust is rebuilt when people realize they will be heard and understood, not judged.   In this segment, we talk about how trust is the foundation of effective teams and how its absence leads to working in silos.   Self-reflection Question: When your team experiences a failure or missed deadline, do you create space for open conversation about what happened, or does everyone quietly move on while resentment builds? Featured Book of the Week: Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland Prabhleen recommends Scrum: The Art of Doing Twice the Work in Half the Time by Jeff Sutherland as a foundational read for understanding the spirit behind the framework. "When I actually read the book and understood the nuances of rugby and how the team should be, everything started making sense. I grew beyond the Scrum guide, beyond following rules—it's about how the team operates around you as a collective," she explains. Prabhleen also highly recommends Turn the Ship Around by David Marquet, summarizing its core message as "leaders lead leaders." Both books shaped her understanding that frameworks exist to enable collaboration, not to create compliance. Check out the David Marquet episodes on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast for more insights on intent-based leadership.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Prabhleen Kaur: Letting Teams Own Their Process Through Working Agreements 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 about coaching the team, not teaching them." - Prabhleen Kaur   Prabhleen shares a powerful lesson about the dangers of being too directive with a forming team. When she joined a new team, her enthusiasm and experience led her to immediately introduce best practices, believing she was setting the team up for success. Instead, the team felt burdened by rules they didn't understand the purpose of. The process became about following instructions rather than solving problems together.  It wasn't until her one-on-one conversations with team members that Prabhleen realized the disconnect. She discovered that the team viewed the practices as mandates rather than tools for their benefit. The turning point came when she brought this observation to the retrospective, and together they unlearned what had been imposed.  Now, when Prabhleen joins a new team, she takes a different approach. She first seeks to understand how the team has been functioning, then presents situations as problems to be solved collectively. By asking "How do you want to take this up?" instead of prescribing solutions, she invites team ownership. This shift from teaching to coaching means the team creates their own working agreements, their own definitions of ready and done, and their own communication norms. When people voice solutions themselves, they follow through because they own the outcome.   In this episode, we refer to working agreements and their importance in team formation.   Self-reflection Question: When you join a new team, do you first seek to understand their current ways of working, or do you immediately start suggesting improvements based on your past experience?   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Send us a textPhoebe Hagan opens up about what has shifted—not just in her training, but in her identity as an athlete heading into the Arnold. She reflects on how passion can hibernate for years, what it felt like starting this journey at 20, and the mindset games that begin long before show day—especially the pressure and self-talk that hits backstage.This episode is a candid look at competitive growth: learning to express what you need as both an athlete and a human, embracing the edge of being a fierce competitor, and recognizing the non-negotiable link between mindset and performance—because when your mind isn't right, your body isn't right. Phoebe breaks down the hidden cost of a restrictive mindset, how becoming aware of stress changes everything, and what it looks like to take care of yourself “the feminine way”—with more self-trust, self-regulation, and sustainability—without losing intensity or standards. If you're prepping for a show, chasing a goal, or rebuilding your relationship with performance, this conversation delivers practical perspective and a mindset reset you can apply immediately.Phoebe Hagan is an IFBB Bikini Pro from the United Kingdom, known for her elite-level physique, precision posing, and competitive success on the global bodybuilding stage. She made history as the first UK Bikini athlete to place in the top 10 at the Olympia, securing 7th place in her debut. Beyond competition, Phoebe is a dedicated coach, content creator, and fitness influencer, sharing expert insights on training, posing, and mindset through her YouTube channel, social media, and The Posing Portal.

Most capable, ambitious traders don't struggle because they lack discipline or motivation.They struggle when pressure quietly changes how they show up.In this episode, Agnieszka explores a belief many high performers hold — “I work best under pressure” — and how that belief can shape behavior in ways traders don't always see.You'll learn:Why pressure doesn't just test discipline, but alters decision-makingHow effort and forcing can actually increase internal pressureWhat early signs of change look like before performance improvesWhy internal shifts always come before external resultsThis episode isn't about fixing yourself or adding more tools.It's about understanding what's really happening beneath the surface — and why noticing it changes everything about how you work with yourself as a trader. About Agnieszka WoodFounder and CEO of Ahead Coach, Trading Mindset Coach and TraderAgnieszka Wood, is a passionate and accomplished day trader with over a decade of hands-on experience in the financial markets.

Today's guest is Tanner Care. Tanner Care is a high-performance specialist, currently serving as the Director of Player Performance for the BC Lions (CFL) and the Director of Athletic Performance for the Vancouver Bandits (CEBL). Since 2023, he has also held the role of Head Strength and Conditioning Coach at Simon Fraser University, where he oversees the physical development of athletes across 13 collegiate sports. On the surface, strength and conditioning is about increasing an athlete's physical strength and capacities. To dig deeper and help athletes reach their highest potential, an understanding of sprint-specific forces, athlete archetypes, and dosage of inputs is essential. On today's show, Tanner talks about his practical framework for elite athlete development. He shares how he integrates max-speed work into sport-specific drills, such as full-court basketball overthrows, and explains his “layered” coaching model, which progresses from foundational health and general capacity to more specific archetyping. The conversation also dives into the technical side of his toolkit, including the use of run-specific isometrics for sprint transfer, plyometric training, and how he balances force-velocity profiles across different athlete types. Ultimately, Tanner advocates for a “health-first” approach in the pro setting, favoring consistent, high-quality inputs over unnecessarily complex training schemes.

On the Priority of Training: "That's layer one health has to come before performance. So removing any potential inhibition." On Dynamic vs. Passive Screening: "I've seen so many people get on a table, assess passive hip internal rotation and say there's some kind of limitation. But when we see it dynamically at sports speed, it's like, oh, there it is." On General Movement Competency: "I can't tell you the amount of professional guys I have come in that like can't do like rudimentary plyometrics like they can't hop or bound stationary let alone locomotively" On Local vs. Global Issues: "Do we have a Ferrari? Do we have a Honda Civic? Do we have a Ferrari with a flat tire? Like, sometimes we just have to deal with local issues, not necessarily broad systems of improving the overall organism." On the Limits of Strength: "We know that the strongest individuals aren't necessarily the most forceful individuals. At some point, there's a clear cutoff." On Stiffness and Propulsion: "Rate of force development and stiffness isn't always a good thing if they don't have the propulsive qualities necessary to actually displace their hips horizontally" On Force and Sprint Performance“If you're able to generate adequate force at adequate time and attenuate high braking force, that's always going to correlate positively with sprint performance.” On Weight Room Philosophy: "I try to remove skill or as much skill as I can within the context of the weight room." About Tanner Care Tanner Care is a credentialed strength and conditioning professional specializing in elite athlete development across pro and collegiate levels. He currently serves as Director of Performance for the Vancouver Bandits (CEBL) and the BC Lions (CFL), overseeing strength & conditioning, load management, sport science, and performance nutrition to enhance athlete readiness and longevity.

If money feels harder than it “should” right now, this episode is your reset: you don't have a marketing problem, you have an offer clarity problem.In this conversation, I'm breaking down the foundational truth that changes everything in your coaching or service-based business: you can't sell what you can't name.And I know that sounds basic.But I'm telling you, after talking to business owners every single day, this is the pattern I see over and over again: people think they need better messaging, more leads, a stronger launch, or “visibility.”Meanwhile they can't clearly answer one question:What are you selling?I also share how my background teaching yoga shaped the way I understand offers: one class doesn't change your life, but a practice does. And your business needs to be positioned the same way.If you've been feeling stuck, fuzzy, or like your business should be working better than it is, listen to this episode. It will help you stop spinning and start selling what you're actually here to do.Because your next level isn't hiding in another funnel.It's hiding in the question you've been avoiding.In This Episode, I Talk About:Why revenue doesn't feel “easy” when you're unclear on what you're actually selling The difference between selling a modality vs. selling a transformationHow most coaches and business owners are misdiagnosing their “problem”Why people won't invest time, energy, or money if they can't picture the outcome they're buyingWhy specificity isn't a “niche trap” What “profitable” actually means in terms of business modelsHow values-driven businesses can lead right now, creating spaces of love, safety, and belonging when people need it most.If you've ever found yourself asking “why does making money feel so hard right now?”, pop your earbuds in and give this one a listen.And if you want help getting clear on it, come join me inside the Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp (week of February 9).

Send us a textOne word keeps showing up in interviews with mid-career professionals, and it may be holding you back more than you realize. That word is passion.In this episode, I break down why employers already assume you care about your work and why passion alone is not what helps you stand out in today's competitive job market. At mid-career, hiring decisions are less about enthusiasm and more about clarity, credibility, and measurable results.If you feel stuck, undervalued, or frustrated in your job search, this conversation will help you reposition how you talk about your experience so employers clearly see the value you bring.I explore how expectations change as your career progresses. Early in your career, hustle and enthusiasm can open doors. At mid-career, decision-makers want proof. They want to understand how your judgment, leadership, and execution improve outcomes, reduce risk, and help teams and organizations perform better.I also share a real career example that shows how naming measurable results rather than emotions accelerated trust and opened better opportunities. From there, I translate common interview buzzwords into language hiring managers actually use when making decisions, including improving retention, reducing rework, speeding up delivery, and driving measurable performance improvements.You will walk away with practical ways to reframe your answers so you clearly communicate how you lead, influence, and deliver results, even when you do not have formal authority. Instead of saying you are passionate about leading teams, you will learn how to explain how you improve outcomes and help organizations execute strategy effectively without burning people out.We also talk through common interview traps, phrases that signal strategic impact, and ways to connect your strengths to the real problems employers are trying to solve right now.If you want to stand out in a cautious hiring market, this episode will help you replace vague claims with clear, testable value.If you found this episode helpful, follow the podcast, share it with a colleague who is interviewing, and leave a review on Apple Podcasts so more mid-career professionals can find these conversations.For a deeper perspective on why being good at your job is no longer enough and how to navigate today's market, download my free 15-minute audiSupport the showVisit https://johnneral.com/resources to: Grab my free 15-minute audio briefing about why doing good work at mid-career is no longer "good enough."

Dr. Will Haas Vroom Vroom Veer Summary Journey to Integrative Medicine William shared his journey from medical school to finding his passion in integrative medicine, which focuses on using a variety of healing modalities to optimize health. He initially struggled with the conventional approach to medicine, which primarily focuses on treating diseases, and decided to pursue business studies during his medical training. However, a personal loss led him to fulfill his father's dying wish to complete his medical degree. William eventually found his calling in integrative medicine, which he believes should be the standard approach to healthcare, combining the best of conventional and alternative treatments. Cellular Optimization and Health Strategies Jeffery and William discussed the concept of cellular optimization and the importance of addressing toxins and oxidative stress in the body. They explored how factors like poor diet, lack of sleep, and environmental exposure can contribute to cellular damage and reduced energy levels. Jeffery shared his personal experience of reducing sugar and processed foods intake, which led to improved health and well-being. They also touched on the idea of getting a CT scan for a calcium score as part of a proactive approach to prevent heart attacks. Cardiovascular Health Assessment Strategies Jeffery and William discussed cardiovascular health, diagnostic tests, and therapeutic peptides. William explained the importance of assessing inflammation levels, homocysteine, and other markers to evaluate heart attack risk. They talked about the benefits of advanced lipid panels and the role of Apo B and oxidized LDL in predicting cardiovascular events. William shared a success story of a patient who improved his health through dietary changes, gut healing, and IV nutrient therapies. They also briefly discussed the potential of therapeutic peptides under medical supervision. Connections Website

Gen Z is resisting the workplace emergency and honestly, they are not wrong.On today's episode, we talk about Gen Z and their refusal to get wrapped up in manufactured chaos of work. No all nighters. No dropping everything. No pretending every problem is catastrophic. Their perspective is simple: Nobody is dying from this.I love a problem at work and a get down into the trench - there's only one way out of this - type situation. I find them intense and invigorating and an opportunity to be a part of something hard fought and in some instances, hard won. I also believe these are the best ways to experience and learn from greatness. The people who can dig deep and rise to an occasion are endlessly inspiring. That said, I'm a weirdo. Distance from work can be healthy. Too many workplaces run on adrenaline, drama, and fake urgency. Too many people confuse stress with importance. Too many trenches aren't deep enough and the payoff from being in one is unclear. I get this and appreciate it. But there is a flip side. When you are trying to build something, apathy is dangerous. Teams can break when some people care deeply and others do the bare minimum. Accountability gets uneven. Resentment builds. We talk about where responsibility actually comes from. Clear ownership. Clear stakes. Being honest about what matters and what does not. When people feel connected to both the reward and the consequence, regardless of generation or circumstance, they show up.We also talk about managers. Passionate ones. Perfunctory ones. What you can learn from both. And why working for someone who truly does not care is one of the most dangerous career moves you can make. Gen Z isn't apathetic - maybe it's that they haven't been given enough of a reason or clear enough purpose or motivation to care.This is WORK. Net/Net.Watch full episode on YouTube.

Limerence is an intense state of romantic preoccupation where someone takes over your thoughts and emotions. It can feel exhilarating and even spark new love. But it can also become unhealthy, especially when the feelings are unrequited, inappropriate, or tied to someone who is unavailable or toxic. In this episode, we explore when limerence becomes a problem, and how to work through it. I am joined once again by Dr. Tom Bellamy, a neuroscientist and honorary Associate Professor at the University of Nottingham. He has published over forty scientific works on neurophysiology. He runs the popular blog Living with Limerence and is author of the new book Smitten: Romantic Obsession, the Neuroscience of Limerence, and How to Make Love Last. Some of the specific topics we explore include: What keeps limerence going, and what do you need to understand before breaking the cycle? How do you shift into a recovery mindset? What practices help interrupt rumination? What should you look for in a therapist if you need help working through limerence? How does living more purposefully protect against limerence?

In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm diving into one of the things I care about most — and honestly, one of the biggest reasons I believe so many service-based businesses struggle to grow or convert right now.If you work with human beings (coaches, teachers, healers, creatives, experts, facilitators, consultants… this means you), you must understand how people actually make decisions, learn, change, and say yes to transformation.This episode is all about why coaching and teaching skills aren't just for delivery — they're the foundation of attraction, sales, and results.I'm breaking down what's really happening inside the human brain and nervous system when someone is considering change, investing money, or committing to a new outcome — and why no script, funnel, or “perfect messaging” can replace true coaching mastery.We talk about why objections aren't something to “handle,” why information alone doesn't create transformation, and why being great at what you do isn't enough if you don't know how to help people actually move.This conversation was inspired by real conversations with clients and colleagues, and what I'm seeing across the coaching and online business space right now — especially in a market where trust, discernment, and results matter more than ever.If you want to build a business that feels ethical, sustainable, and genuinely effective — where people don't just buy, but actually change — this episode is for you.In this episode, we explore:Why understanding human behavior is essential if you sell transformationHow resistance and objections actually work (and why scripts don't)The difference between learning information and creating real outcomesWhy coaching and teaching skills impact attraction, sales, and deliveryHow people decide to invest — and what they really need to feel safe saying yesWhy “being good at marketing” isn't enough if you can't deliver resultsHow embodied expertise builds trust faster than tactics ever willThis episode is an invitation to raise the bar — not just in how you market or sell, but in how you serve, lead, and create change.Because businesses that last aren't built on hacks.They're built on skill, integrity, and knowing what your clients really need to get the results, outcomes and change they are looking for.If you want to learn more about what it takes to have a profitable coaching business, make sure to sign up for the free Profitable Coaching Business Bootcamp here.

Using Your Momentum to Accomplish Great Things (part 2)     Today I invite you into a deeper conversation about movement, momentum, and what I believe is a powerful energetic shift ahead of us: the Year of the Fire Horse. As an above-knee amputee, a lifelong horse girl, and someone who has learned to rebuild life step by step, this theme resonates with me on every level. The Fire Horse represents bold energy, passion, speed, and expansion—but only if we're willing to meet it with intention and preparation.     Last week, I challenged you to focus on movement. Not perfection. Not comparison. Just movement—forward motion, wherever you are in your journey. Because movement creates momentum, and momentum opens the door to growth. That growth is what I call fearless expansion. And let me be very clear: fearless expansion doesn't mean the absence of fear. Fear is always present, especially as an amputee. Every literal step forward requires trust—trust in my prosthesis, trust in my body, and trust in myself. Early on, I couldn't even imagine carrying laundry with my vision blocked, let alone trusting my leg to land where it needed to. That confidence didn't come overnight. It came from doing the thing scared, over and over again, until fear loosened its grip.   This ⇑ leads to this ⇓ And that’s why setting goals and staying focused on them matters.     I want to remind you that this journey is never linear. Prosthetic life is full of pauses, setbacks, socket changes, surgeries, and seasons of limbo. There are times when pushing harder simply isn't possible—and that doesn't mean you've failed. It means you're human. I've taken years off from pushing my pace, not because I was lazy, but because my body wasn't ready. And that's okay. We are not competing with anyone else—especially not the curated versions of people we see online. The only comparison that matters is who you were yesterday. This brings me to the next layer of the Fire Horse energy: boldness, speed, and passion. This is the kind of energy that's impossible to ignore. It can fuel incredible growth—or become overwhelming if we aren't grounded. That's why preparation matters. Before my amputation, I did something that changed everything: I set goals before surgery. Month by month. Not because I knew how things would turn out, but because I didn't want fear to be my focus. I wanted my eyes on the horizon.   These virtual races kept me focused and helped me get stronger. These medals tell my story, one I am proud of.   Those goals didn't start big. My first win was simply getting out of the house alone. That one decision led me to adaptive sports, sled hockey, skiing, virtual races, surfing, and eventually completing a 10K with a running blade. None of it happened by accident. Every step required intention, planning, and a willingness to try—even when I wasn't sure I'd succeed. Virtual races, in particular, saved me. They gave me accountability and something to work toward when motivation was low. I wouldn't even open the medals until I earned them. On good socket days, I pushed myself. On bad days, I rested. But I kept showing up. And every time I finished something I once thought was impossible, I felt alive again. Capable. Limitless. That's the power of momentum. It builds confidence. And confidence changes everything. As we approach the Year of the Fire Horse, I want you to pause and ask yourself: What do I truly want to accomplish in the next twelve months? Not what feels “realistic.” Not what others expect of you. What lives in your heart? What lights you up? This energy can either propel you forward or spiral into negativity if you're unprepared. The difference is mindset and planning.     This week's call to action builds on last week's. Keep moving—but now, zoom out. Create a one-year vision. Look at your calendar. Are there trips coming up? Experiences you've avoided because of fear, injury, or amputation? Hiking, traveling, trying a new sport, or simply walking confidently in your neighborhood—none of these happen overnight. They require preparation, strength building, and patience. And that preparation starts now. I've never jumped blindly into anything. When I returned to skiing, I sought adaptive instruction. I practiced balance, core strength, and walking long before I hit the slopes. Every year, I have to rebuild again. That's life. The work never truly ends—but neither does the growth. Amputation is not the end of life. It's a beginning. A reinvention. And the truth is, anything goes. If you try something and it doesn't work, so what? You tried. You learn. You pivot. You try again. I never surfed before my amputation—and now it's something I love. You don't know what's waiting for you on the other side of fear. This year carries powerful energy. If you open yourself up to it with intention, incredible things can happen. Dream big. Make a plan. Start today—not Monday, not when it feels right. It will never feel perfect. But action creates clarity, and clarity creates momentum. The warrior within you is ready. This is the year to let them out. Use the fire. Harness the momentum. And gallop forward into the life you want—one brave step at a time. Have a beautifully, blessed week and as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!   Much love,

Curiosity is a powerful force — but in trading, it can quietly lead you into danger. When uncertainty appears, many traders feel the urge to check, push, or take one more trade to regain control. But that instinct often breaks discipline long before they realize what's happening.In this episode, Agnieszka Wood shares a real-life story and explores why the human mind is drawn toward danger instead of away from it, how imagined scenarios can drive real emotional reactions, and what this means for your trading behavior.This episode invites you to look at curiosity differently — not as a flaw, but as something that needs to be understood and guided.About Agnieszka WoodFounder and CEO of Ahead Coach, Trading Mindset Coach and TraderAgnieszka Wood, is a passionate and accomplished day trader with over a decade of hands-on experience in the financial markets.

In this special coaching episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I coach Michael Barnes, a certified health and life coach in the early stages of building his coaching business.Michael came into the session wanting clarity around three things:where to focus his limited time and energy while working a full-time job, how to talk about his work without sounding “coachy,” and what it really looks like to embody being a coach — not turn it on and off depending on the room.What unfolded was a layered, honest coaching conversation where we got to the heart of what Michael actually does, who he's uniquely positioned to help, and why his lived experience gives him what I call an unfair advantage — even if he hasn't fully been using it yet.You'll hear Michael have real-time breakthroughs around his messaging, his ideal client, and why people are already drawn to him — not because of his certifications, but because of who he is, how he lives, and the life he's actively creating.We also talk about why clients don't hire coaches because of polished language or perfect positioning — they hire us because they see us being, doing, or having something they want for themselves. And why sharing your story, your evolution, and your perspective isn't optional if you want your work to land.In this episode, we cover:Why it's important to know what outcomes and results your clients are really looking for (and not just what you think they want)How to stop hiding behind “coach language” and start speaking in a way that calls in your ideal clientsHow to leverage your unfair advantage — and why it's a key to knowing your nicheWhat it really means to embody your work instead of trying to switch it on for marketingWhy people are drawn to coaches who are visibly living what they teachHow specificity (not being vague or universal) makes your message more powerfulMaking intentional choices about visibility and connection when you don't have unlimited timeThis episode is a powerful reminder that business growth isn't driven by finding the perfect script, niche sentence, or marketing formula. They're built by developing your skills, taking action before you feel “ready,” and letting your lived experience lead the way.

When people experience sexual problems, the instinct is often to ask, “What's wrong with me?” or “How do I fix this?” But what if those struggles are actually meaningful signals or clues that something deeper needs attention? In today’s show, we’re exploring a different way of understanding sexual difficulties: as doorways to unconscious emotional and relational truths. My guest is Juliane Maxwald, a licensed psychoanalyst, couples therapist, and AASECT-certified sex therapist based in New York City. She has over fifteen years of experience working with individuals and couples. She is the author of the new book Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy: Exploring the Unconscious Life of Sexuality. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: What does it mean to treat sexual symptoms as a form of unconscious communication? Why is it important to get curious about the deeper issues behind sexual problems? If someone is experiencing “out of control” porn use, what might the deeper issue behind that be? What kind of emotional information do sexual fantasies carry? What does healing or recovery from a sexual problem actually look like? To learn more about Juliane’s work, visit her website and find her on Instagram @julianemaxwald. Listeners can receive 20% off her new book, Psychoanalytic Sex Therapy, via this link.

Canes Radio Analyst Don Bailey Jr. joins the show to break down Miami's journey to the national championship and preview the key matchups against Indiana, highlighting how the Hurricanes executed Mario Cristobal's plan and praising Indiana's strong running game. He shares compelling quarterback stories, from Carson Beck overcoming doubt and injury to Fernando Mendoza's rise at Indiana, and names Malachi Toney as a potential X-factor. The hour also features passionate Canes fans calling in with predictions, excitement, and personal stories, including one who thanks his wife for letting him attend the game instead of selling his tickets for thousands. A hilarious moment arises when an Indiana fan calls in confidently claiming the Hoosiers will “stomp” Miami, adding some comedy to the championship hype.

What if normal life for you consisted of major breakthroughs in destructive habits and behaviors? What if victories over anger and greed issues occurred on a regular basis? What if God were to use you to change your neighborhood or even your community? Chip asks the question, "What if breakthroughs like that were normal?" and shows us what that kind of life looks like.Introduction: For whatever was written in earlier times was written for our instruction, so that through perseverance and the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. -Romans 15:4David – An unlikely choice -1 Samuel 16David – Does the impossible -1 Samuel 17David – His life after breakthrough -1 Samuel 18-2 SamuelDavid – His legacy of breakthrough -1 Chronicles 29:10-13; Acts 13:22How did David habitually unleash God's power into impossible situations?He is a BOLD risk-taker -Psalm 27:1-3He is a PASSIONATE worshiper -Psalm 27:4-6He is a WOUNDED healer -Psalm 27:7-10He is a FIERCE warrior - Psalm 27:11-12He is a FAITHFUL servant -Psalm 27:13-14David understood the “Joseph Journey”Broadcast ResourceDownload MP3Message NotesAdditional Resource MentionsI Choose Love BookDaily Discipleship - Psalms of HopeConnect888-333-6003WebsiteChip Ingram AppInstagramFacebookTwitterPartner With UsDonate Online888-333-6003

If God exists, then he is the measure of all things, and what he thinks about all things is the measure of what we should think.

What if the foundation of your digital strategy, your corporate website, is becoming less important than the conversations happening about your brand in places you don't control? Agility requires a fundamental shift in mindset, moving beyond just broadcasting your message on owned channels to actively shaping the narrative across an entire ecosystem you don't fully control. Today, we're going to talk about how generative AI is creating a new layer between your brand and your customers, changing how they discover information and what they trust. We'll explore the surprising new balance of power between owned media and earned media, and what it means for your PR, content, and SEO strategies moving forward.
