In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm joined by Edward Vilga to talk about his new book, The Science of Getting Rich Journal.Edward took the original 1910 prosperity classic, The Science of Getting Rich by Wallace D. Wattles, and created a 40-day guided journal designed to help readers actively apply its principles. Instead of simply reading about wealth, gratitude, faith, and creative thinking, this journal turns those ideas into a structured daily practice.Our conversation centers on identity and wealth — and why mindset and belief systems must come before strategy. We talk about the difference between passive manifestation and aligned action, and why visualization without follow-through isn't enough. Edward shares the neuroscience behind journaling and how consistent reflection can help rewire the brain, increase clarity, and shift long-held patterns around money.In this episode, we discuss:How Edward transformed a classic prosperity text into a practical, action-oriented journalWhy identity and belief shape your ability to create wealthThe difference between passive manifestation and aligned actionThe neuroscience behind journaling and brain rewiringGratitude as a foundation for abundanceCreative mindset vs. competitive mindsetWhy repetition and structure (like a 40-day practice) support real transformationStrengthening your relationship to money without shame or guiltIf you're building a business, leading clients, or working to strengthen your own relationship with money, this episode offers a grounded framework for thinking about prosperity differently. Wealth, as we discuss it here, isn't about quick fixes. It's about becoming the kind of person who can create, hold, and act from abundance over time.Check out The Science of Getting Rich Journal AND a special bonus course when you purchase here.

For many women, the menopause transition brings painful sex and low libido—issues that have long been endured in silence. Meanwhile, men have had access to highly effective sexual performance treatments for decades. The result is what my guest calls the bedroom gap: the widening divide in sexual expectations and capabilities between men and women in midlife. I am joined by Dr. Maria Sophocles, a board-certified OB/GYN and Menopause Society Certified Practitioner. She is the CMO of EMBR Labs, a Boston-based wellness device company. Maria is also author of the new book, The Bedroom Gap, which is all about sex at midlife. Some of the specific topics we explore in this episode include: Defining the bedroom gap The often overlooked sexual effects of menopause How Viagra widened the divide at midlife Barriers to treatment for women’s sexual health How to close the bedroom gap To learn more about Maria’s work, you can check out her website.

Simon examines the critical importance of discipline in property investing through the mantra, "Don't break your own rules."  He shares personal anecdotes of turning down lucrative-looking deals—including a large portfolio option and a hotel—because they failed to meet his specific criteria, such as a 50% return on investment within two years. He warns against the property hamster wheel, where investors continuously chase the buzz of new deals without stopping to enjoy the financial freedom they have already built. KEY TAKEAWAYS Successful investing requires clear parameters—such as specific cash flow requirements or return on investment (ROI) percentages—to ensure you only engage in truly "great" deals. Look for a 50% return on investment within two years when dealing with property options, ensuring the initial capital is recovered quickly. Even experienced investors can be tempted by creative financing or unique assets (like hotels), but if the project adds excessive noise or time-demands without meeting core rules, it should be rejected. Most investors only need three to five properties (like HMOs or SAs) to replace their basic income BEST MOMENTS "I see too many people buying properties that are not great deals... maybe they're not clear on what makes a good deal for them, and I want to make sure you avoid that mistake." "Am I just doing this because I can do it, rather than I'm doing it because it's a great deal? That's a trap I see many property investors fall into." "The reason I invest in property... is not because we're passionate about property; it's because we're passionate about what property can do for you." "The reason most people don't achieve their goals is, frankly, they don't put enough time and effort in to achieve what they say they want to achieve because they've not made it important enough."

When a story resonates across generations, it's usually because it touches something deeply human. Tim Timmons has that kind of story. He's the focus of I Can Only Imagine 2, a movie focusing on redemption, relationships, and the impact of people who choose to show up when it matters most. In this episode of the All Pro Dad Podcast, host Ted Lowe is joined by Tim to talk about the movie and his role as a dad.Why This MattersThe on-screen lessons from the movie can be implemented in your home today.   Who is Tim Timmons?·      Christian singer, songwriter, and worship leader known for joyful, authentic storytelling·      Best known for hit songs like “Cast My Cares” and “All About You”·      Built a strong following through music that blends faith, humor, and real-life honesty·      Passionate advocate for intentional faith, family, and meaningful connection·      Diagnosed with terminal cancer of unknown origin in 2000.

It's not about control; it's about connection. It's not about having all the answers; it's about being willing to walk alongside your kids as they grow.Quotable MomentTim told Ted this powerful line: “I get drunk on worry all the time. I get drunk on worrying about my finances all the time. I get drunk on scarcity going, “I'm not going to have enough.” I get drunk on trying to work for God all the time. And I want to be more sober this year than I was last year.”Enjoy this conversation and the movie, which hits theaters on February 20, 2026.

Selina Boyd, international editor of The Good Schools Guide, reveals what actually matters when parents choose schools for their children. With over a decade reviewing international schools and more than 1,600 schools assessed worldwide, Selina explains why authentic leadership isn't about what leaders say about themselves, but what parents and students say about them. This conversation challenges school leaders to rethink how they communicate their school's story in an era where parents are savvy researchers who trust other parents more than polished marketing materials. You'll learn the specific moments that signal whether students are genuinely thriving, from children running up to show their work to sixth formers who can articulate why they chose your school. Selina shares practical examples of authentic school storytelling, including how one international school used Instagram reels to connect with future students in a way that felt genuine rather than contrived. If you're trying to build trust with prospective families whilst navigating social media and modern parent expectations, this conversation offers a refreshing perspective on letting others tell your school's story.

Woodland Campus | Pastor Jonathan shares the new vision statement and culture outline for the Promise Church.

If you're paying for your nonprofit out of your own pocket, I want you to know something first: you're not alone. I see this all the time. Passionate leaders quietly covering costs, filling gaps, and telling themselves it's just "for now." But the truth is, most nonprofit founders were never taught why this happens or how to stop it. If you're tired of carrying the organization on your back and want to build something that can actually sustain itself, this conversation will help you understand what's missing and what to do next. Your mission deserves support. So do you.

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. Passionate about empowering athletes, she continues to inspire and educate the next generation of Bikini competitors worldwide.https://www.instagram.com/phoebehagan_ http://www.theposingportal.com Welcome to FitBody Lifestyle the podcast hosted by Jami and Greg DeBernard!

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]

If you've been questioning what “scaling” is supposed to look like for an expert-led business, this conversation will bring a lot of clarity.In this episode of Passionate & Prosperous, I'm joined by my friend, Pia Silva, founder of No BS Mastery, longtime business strategist, and author of Badass Your Brand, with a new book, Scale Solo, coming out soon.Pia has spent more than 15 years helping consultants, coaches, and boutique agencies build highly profitable businesses with small or no teams. She's coached hundreds of business owners, and what she teaches is refreshingly clear, grounded, and practical.In our conversation, we dig into what it actually means to scale as an expert-led business — not the internet version of scaling, but the real decisions behind offers, pricing, confidence, and business models that create sustainable growth.We talk about how to build a business that works because it's designed intentionally — not because you're chasing trends, adding complexity, or following someone else's definition of success.Pia and I both share some behind-the-scenes of our businesses – what it feels like when we're going through an evolution and period of growth, how we've made certain decisions and choices around our offers and what we're creating and the reality of how our businesses often reflect the seasons of our lives.If you're a service-based business owner who wants to grow with clarity, confidence, and ease, this episode is for you.In This Episode, We Talk About:What most people get wrong about scaling service-based businessesHow to design a business model that works with a small or no teamWhy selling outcomes changes both your confidence and your revenueThe role decisive action plays in building authorityHow looking at the right numbers can simplify everythingPia's upcoming book, Scale Solo, breaks down her approach to building a profitable, streamlined business — one that prioritizes expertise, simplicity, and sustainability.After you listen, consider this:What would scaling look like if it were designed around your expertise instead of someone else's rules?Follow Pia on Instagram and listen to the No BS Mastery Podcast.

Guest: Ted Tindersmith "I was recognized by one of the trade publications as one of the top-ranked venture capitalists in the country for 1995 to 1999 – which were good years to be good at it. I loved every day. But as I got further into it, I realized that a lot of the companies we backed were developing products and solutions to make customers far more productive. And that seems to be a really good thing. "But at a certain point, I realized that if you make a few people really productive, you may be laying off a bunch of others, which gets me to AI and why I am so focused on things today. "As I looked back on my business career, every day was really fun, but I didn't feel a sense of purpose. Now, every day, I feel a deep sense of purpose by fighting for different priorities in schools and fighting for helping kids find their strengths – instead of putting students on the narrow conveyor belt that leads right into the jaws of AI." Recommendation to listeners:  "Find the things you love to do. Be resourceful in terms of connecting your passions with ways to support yourself financially. Take chances and be bold. And leverage technology. You will never look back and you are going to be in great shape."   Ted Dintersmith is a best-selling author, education advocate, and former venture capitalist who believes math has been weaponized—and it's time to set things right. His professional career has been immersed in the world of technology-driven education, giving him a ringside seat to the advances of integrated circuits, robotics, and Artificial Intelligence. For the past fifteen years, he has focused on the world of education, forming an education non-profit, authoring best seller books, and setting a mission to help catalyze and accelerate progress in our schools and equip our children with skills and mindsets that are essential in a world defined by rapidly-advancing innovation. Ted graduated from the College of William and Mary with High Honors in English and Physics and then got a PhD in Engineering from Stanford. In 2012, he was appointed by President Obama to represent the U.S. at the United Nations General Assembly, where he focused on education and youth entrepreneurship.

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]

Simon looks at the ethical considerations of buying properties below market value, emphasising the importance of helping motivated sellers. Through a compelling case study involving an 85-year-old gentleman who needed to sell his home quickly to move closer to his family, he illustrates how building relationships and understanding sellers' needs can lead to win-win solutions.  Simon also highlights the significance of speed, certainty, and ethical practices in real estate transactions, encouraging investors to prioritise the well-being of sellers while still achieving profitable deals KEY TAKEAWAYS It's crucial to recognise that motivated sellers often prioritise solving their problems over getting the highest price for their property. Building a relationship and understanding their needs can lead to successful transactions. When dealing with motivated sellers, providing a quick response and assurance of a smooth transaction is essential. Delays can lead to frustration, especially for sellers who have already experienced failed sales. Buying properties below market value can be ethical if it provides a genuine solution to the seller's problem. It's important to ensure that the seller feels respected and valued throughout the process. Following up with potential sellers is a critical part of the deal-making process. Many sellers may initially decline offers, but consistent communication can lead to successful negotiations later. BEST MOMENTS "Is it really fair on this? I must admit, I had this when I first learned back in 2006... Is it really ethical to do that?" "When you're dealing with motivated sellers, they need speed and certainty. If someone's like, I really need to sell my house... that's not gonna work." "You took the time to get to know me... The other two companies literally came in, quick look round, maybe a really low offer." "As long as you stick to your word, and you're giving someone a solution to their problem... that's absolutely ethical."

In this episode of Even Better, host Sinikka Waugh is joined by Urmi Hossain for a powerful conversation on mentorship for women, how to find the support you need and how to become that support for someone else. Urmi shares why mentorship begins with self‑awareness, clarity, and understanding your goals, and why the best mentor for you doesn't always look like you or come from your industry. Together, they explore mentorship as a two‑way relationship, the importance of showing initiative, and the surprising value women often underestimate in themselves. Urmi also introduces the idea of building a personal "board of mentors" to guide different parts of your life and career. With insights on confidence, community, and empowering other women, this episode offers practical guidance for anyone seeking to grow, give back, and be even better. -- Urmi Hossain is a woman who wears many hats. She is a self-published author, speaker, blogger, podcast host, polyglot, mentor, and holder of both the CFA (Chartered Financial Analyst) and CAIA (Chartered Alternative Investment Analyst) designations. Urmi works in the financial services industry in Canada, where she currently resides. Her first book, Discovering Your Identity: A Rebirth from Interracial Struggle, reflects her journey as a third-culture kid navigating questions of belonging, culture, and self-worth. Urmi is the host of Stories Beyond Borders, a podcast that amplifies diverse voices and explores stories of identity, migration, language, and what "home" really means. Passionate about women's empowerment, she serves as the Co-Chair of Women in Leadership's Montreal Chapter. She is also a strong advocate for continuous learning and personal growth. One of her greatest passions is public speaking — she has been an active Toastmasters member since 2019, having served as both VP of Education and Club President.

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.

You hired the wrong person, killed a working programme, or ignored a massive risk whilst feeling completely rational the whole time. This episode unpacks five cognitive biases that sabotage school leadership decisions constantly: anchoring, availability bias, endowment effect, groupthink, and optimism bias. Shane shares real examples from his own leadership mistakes, including a disastrous hiring decision driven by a compelling opening story, and explains why these mental shortcuts that usually help us actually wreck leadership decisions. You'll learn practical systems to catch yourself before these biases derail your next major decision. Shane walks through how to counter anchoring with "consider the opposite" thinking, why you need a decision journal to spot availability bias patterns, how to set up kill committees for initiatives you've personally championed, and why assigning a devil's advocate role fights groupthink. If you've ever wondered why smart leaders sometimes make terrible collective decisions, or why your optimistic timelines never match reality, this episode gives you the frameworks to make better choices and build trust with your team.

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.

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."

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?
