In this episode of the Perform Happy Podcast, I sit down with performance scientist, professor, and former athletic trainer Dr. Toby Brooks to talk about resilience, recovery, identity, and what happens when life doesn't go according to plan.Whether it's an injury, retirement, a major setback, or an unexpected life change, every athlete will eventually face moments that feel like everything is falling apart. Toby shares how these experiences often become the starting point for growth, helping athletes discover new purpose beyond the challenges they face.Drawing from his work with athletes, students, and high performers, Toby explains why community matters during difficult seasons and how support, connection, and perspective can make all the difference. He discusses the importance of having people who will sit beside you through hard moments instead of trying to immediately fix them.We also explore the relationship between stress, recovery, and performance. Toby breaks down why growth requires both challenge and rest, how perfectionism can contribute to burnout, and why sustainable success depends on more than just working harder.In this episode you will hearWhy setbacks can become new beginningsHow athletes can navigate major life transitionsWhy support and community matter during difficult timesThe role of stress and recovery in performanceHow perfectionism contributes to burnoutWhy rest is an essential part of growthHow to build a healthier relationship with achievementThis conversation is a powerful reminder that success is not defined by avoiding challenges. When athletes learn to embrace setbacks, seek support, and grow through adversity, they build the resilience needed to thrive both in sport and in life.Learn exactly what to say and do to guide your athlete through a mental block with my new book "Parenting Through Mental Blocks" Order your copy today: https://a.co/d/g990BurFollow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/complete_performance/Join my FaceBook page: https://www.facebook.com/completeperformancecoaching/Check out my website: https://completeperformancecoaching.com/Write to me!

Automation and artificial intelligence do not solve overwhelm inside an insurance agency. Clear direction, defined priorities, documented workflows, and strong leadership do. Daniel Metcalf and Mike Stromsoe explore why many agency teams feel overwhelmed when the real issue is often a lack of clarity around ownership, priorities, and processes. They discuss the difference between machine work and human work, how undocumented workflows create constant interruptions, and why scaling requires leaders to redesign their operating systems instead of simply working harder. Through practical agency examples, they share how agencies can reduce chaos, improve accountability, and build a foundation that supports sustainable growth, automation, and long-term valuation.Key Topics:Why results matter more than activity when evaluating team performanceHow exceptions can quietly become the standard operating procedureThe role of batching work to improve efficiency and reduce context switchingWhy less than 20% of agencies are ready to implement automation effectivelyHow to define what "good" looks like for every seat in the agencyLessons learned from redesigning an agency operating model multiple timesThe impact of soft market conditions on agency growth and profitabilityHow weekly KPI reviews uncover operational blockers before they become bigger problemsConnect with Daniel:LinkedInWebsiteConnect with Mike: LinkedIn TwitterScaling an agency is not about doing more work. It is about creating the structure, systems, and accountability that allow people to focus on high-value relationship work while technology handles repetitive tasks. Agencies that regularly evaluate their workflows, clarify responsibilities, and build processes that support growth are better positioned to leverage AI, improve performance, and increase long-term enterprise value.

In Part Two of Clint's conversation with Wes Adams – Founder & CEO of SV Consulting Group, researcher at the University of Pennsylvania's Positive Psychology Center, and co-author of “Meaningful Work” – Wes breaks down what actually creates high-performing teams and why trust, psychological safety, and communication matter more than most leaders realize.Wes explains how great teams encourage diverse ideas, why leaders need to create environments where people feel safe sharing bad news early, and how collaboration improves when teams adopt a “yes, and” mindset instead of shutting ideas down. He also discusses the importance of values-based hiring, intentional onboarding, and how organizations can build stronger cultures by aligning leadership behavior with company values.The conversation also explores the future of meaningful work in the age of AI, and why human skills like empathy, adaptability, strategic thinking, and communication are becoming more valuable, not less.This is the second part of a two-part conversation.Topics Covered:Why psychological safety drives team performanceThe connection between trust and accountabilityHow leaders create environments where people feel safe speaking upWhy teams perform better when diverse ideas are welcomedLessons leaders can learn from improv and the “yes, and” mindsetEncouraging participation from quieter or introverted team membersThe importance of equal airtime in meetingsWhy remote and hybrid teams require more intentional communicationHow to respond productively during conflict and disagreementThe PEAR model for handling difficult conversationsWhy character and values matter more than raw talent when hiringThe long-term impact of onboarding and first impressionsUsing positive feedback to reinforce high performanceHow meaningful work influences accountability and collaborationThe role of AI in reshaping work and leadershipWhy human skills are becoming even more valuable in an AI-driven worldLinks:Wes' LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/wesadams1/ Wes' book, “Meaningful Work” - https://amzn.to/430EmSa
We'd love to hear from you. Send us fan mail!Role clarity is the most underleveraged driver of leadership performance, and most organizations aren't building it. In this episode of Shedding the Corporate Bitch, executive coach Bernadette Boas sits down with Jackson Lynch, founder of Talent Sherpa, to examine why talented people consistently underperform when the architecture around them is broken. Drawing on W. Edwards Deming's research that 94% of performance problems are systemic, not personal, Jackson makes a compelling case that organizations have been investing in the wrong place.The conversation moves from theory to practice quickly. Jackson breaks down what role architecture actually means: defining five to seven outcomes for any role so that everyone in the system, the incumbent, their manager, their peers upstream and downstream, knows exactly what winning looks like. Without that, accountability becomes blame, engagement flatlines, and even your highest-potential leaders are flying blind.For HR leaders, this episode reframes the function itself. Jackson challenges the compliance-first model that most human capital teams operate within and argues that the real job is to identify talent constraints before the strategy is executed, not after things go sideways. What You Will LearnWhy 94% of performance problems are architectural, not personal, and what that means for how you develop leadersHow to define the 5–7 outcomes that tell any role what winning looks likeWhy decision rights must be directly tied to accountability and what breaks when they aren'tThe difference between accountability (backward blame) and reliability (forward ownership) — and which one actually produces resultsHow to use a talent portfolio optimization model to put the right people in the highest-impact rolesWhy HR's shift from compliance partner to business constraint solver changes organizational performanceHow auditing your calendar reveals whether you are leading strategically or managing noiseEpisode Chapters [00:00 — Welcome & Why Leadership Architecture Matters More Than Talent02:00 — The Biggest Leadership Misconception: It's the System, Not the Person03:00 — What Role Architecture Actually Means — Outcomes, Decision Rights & Boundary Conditions05:00 — Role Clarity in Practice: Defining What Winning Looks Like07:00 — Reframing Accountability as Reliability — and Why It Changes Everything08:00 — The AI Fog Problem: Why Automating Unclear Roles Scales the Problem10:00 — The Real Cost of Not Defining Outcomes: Opportunity Loss13:00 — How to Drive Accountability Without Blame16:00 — Why Leaders Stay Stuck in Tasks: Dopamine, Busyness & the Arsonist Problem18:00 — The Talent Portfolio Optimization Model vs. Traditional Succession Planning21:00 — How to Sequence Talent Decisions for Maximum Business Impact23:00 — How HR and Business Leaders Should Partner on Talent Strategy29:00 — Moving Your Team From Busy to Impactful32:00 — Nobody Gets Overwhelmed Knowing What Winning Looks Like33:00 — Audit Your Calendar: The One Move That Changes Everything35:00 — Where to Find Jackson Lynch & Talent SherpaAbout the Guest Jackson Lynch is the founder of Talent Sherpa, where he works with CEOs and executive teams to build the role clarity, decision rights, and outcome-defined accountability structures that drive business performance. With 25 years in human capital — from the factory floor to senior leadership in public companies — Jackson brings an operator's perspective to the systemic gaps that most leadership development programs never address.

Care to Change Counseling - Practical Solutions for Positive Change
What if spiritual practices are about more than obligation or routine? What if they are actually part of how we experience renewal, resilience, peace, and emotional healing?In this episode, April Bordeau is joined by therapist Jean Crane to close out our May Mental Health Awareness Month series on whole-person wellness. Together, they explore how faith practices impact the body, mind, and spirit and why spiritual rhythms are an important part of emotional wellbeing and renewal.This conversation explores:How faith practices support mental, emotional, physical, and spiritual healthThe connection between prayer, worship, gratitude, creativity, and nervous system regulationWhy silence, solitude, and rest matter for emotional wellbeingHow spiritual practices can reduce stress, anxiety, and emotional overwhelmThe role of Sabbath, stillness, and slowing down in a culture of constant productivityWhy faith practices are meant to bring connection and renewal rather than pressure or performanceHow spiritual rhythms help build resilience before difficult seasons comeNavigating faith practices during seasons of doubt, grief, spiritual struggle, or church hurtPractical ways to begin incorporating life-giving spiritual rhythms into daily lifeApril and Jean also discuss how spiritual practices can become legalistic or emotionally exhausting when disconnected from relationship, grace, and renewal, and they offer compassionate encouragement for those who feel spiritually tired, disconnected, or overwhelmed.Whether you are in a season of burnout, emotional fatigue, grief, anxiety, spiritual questioning, or simply longing for greater peace and connection, this episode offers practical encouragement and hope for caring for your whole self.Resources Mentioned in This Episode:Spiritual Practices for the Brain by Anne Kertz KernionEmbracing Rhythms of Work and Rest by Ruth Haley BartonRelated Topics:Prayer and nervous system regulationSilence and solitudeGratitude and emotional wellnessWorship and connectionSabbath and restCreativity and emotional healingAt Care to Change, we believe healing happens when we care for the whole person: body, mind, and spirit.

If God doesn't need it, why does giving matter?This message calls us to move beyond ritual and rediscover worship as a humble, heartfelt response to God's goodness. Tracing the theme of giving from Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek through the sanctuary service to Christ's ultimate sacrifice, it reveals that offerings are not mere financial transactions, but acts of allegiance—expressions of trust in God as Provider and King.Through the life of King David, the sermon highlights the sacredness of God's presence and the importance of reverence in worship. It underscores that unconfessed sin can hinder our service and reminds us that sincerity alone is not enough—true worship must align with God's will.At its core, this message presents giving as an essential element of worship, alongside prayer, music, and Scripture. It challenges believers—and especially leaders—to prioritize genuine devotion over religious performance, making every offering a sincere recognition of God's grace.You'll discover:Why giving is a central element of worshipHow unconfessed sin affects our service to GodThe four biblical elements of worship: prayer, music, Scripture, and offeringsThe difference between true reverence and empty religious performanceHow to practice meaningful giving—even in a cashless societyMessage presented during the GC & Division Treasurers Leadership Summit, in Orlando, FL, on January 10, 2026.

What does it look like to lead your business as a Kingdom CEO—without hustle, striving, or pressure to have it all figured out?In this episode, I'm joined by Tierney Shirrell, founder of the Live BOLD Movement, who shares her journey from brokenness to boldness—and how God uses identity, obedience, and alignment to transform the way we lead.Tierney unpacks what it means to be Called, Empowered, and Obedient—and how shifting from striving for results to receiving from God changes everything about how you steward your time, energy, and vision.Here's what we cover in this episode:What it really means to lead as a Kingdom CEO—from identity, not performanceHow to take the next right step without hustle or pressure to control outcomesWhy alignment in body, soul, and spirit is key to clarity, fruitfulness, and time stewardshipTierney reminds us that we're not building for victory—we're leading from it.

What makes people feel valued at work? Why do some teams thrive even under pressure, while others struggle with burnout, disengagement, and turnover?In Part 1 of this episode of the Coleman Associates Innovation Podcast, Amanda sits down with author, researcher, and speaker Zach Mercurio to explore one of the most important — and often overlooked — drivers of workplace performance and wellbeing: mattering.Zach Mercurio, author of The Power of Mattering, shares the research behind why people need to feel seen, valued, and essential to do their best work.

The “Perfect Body” Isn't What Instagram Sold You What does the “perfect body” actually look like?In Part 2 of Coach Alex's conversation on The Samir Show, the discussion moves beyond six-packs, big biceps, and Instagram fitness into something much more useful: building a body that can serve the mission.Coach Alex explains why excessive muscle can become a liability for operators, why the best body is not necessarily the one that attracts attention, and why true fitness is about capability, endurance, resilience, and recovery.This conversation also goes deep into metabolic health, protein intake, fatigue, sleep, dad bod, belly fat, cardiovascular fitness, diabetes risk, and why so many people feel exhausted in their 30s and 40s.The big idea: your body is not just about appearance. It is an asset. It carries your mind, your mission, your work, your family, and your calling.In this episode, Coach Alex and Samir discuss:Why the “perfect agent body” does not look like an Instagram fitness modelWhy endurance and cognitive integrity matter for real-world performanceHow your body and brain are deeply integratedWhy constant fatigue may be connected to poor metabolic healthThe role of protein in muscle, energy, aging, and blood sugar regulationWhy muscle loss accelerates with age — and how weight training helps slow it downHow sleep timing, deep sleep, naps, and circadian rhythm affect energyWhy belly fat is often connected to stress, poor fitness, and energy imbalanceThe difference between fasting, time-restricted eating, and ketosisWhy cardio is not mainly about burning caloriesHow walking, weight training, and sleep can help prevent diabetes and heart diseaseIf you are tired of treating your body like a vanity project — or ignoring it altogether — this episode will help you think differently.Your body is not an idol to worship.It is not a problem to ignore.It is a stewardship.Get the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comAnd check out more conversations from The Samir Show.00:00 The perfect agent body01:36 Why the CIA body would not look like Instagram fitness02:21 Hypertrophy is only one fitness adaptation03:48 The capable body: strong, fast, endurable, and mission-ready05:09 Training bodies for the job, not choosing bodies for the job06:54 Treating the body like a national security asset07:32 Why poor health affects national security08:43 Endurance and cognitive integrity09:35 Energy, fatigue, and burnout10:08 Mitochondrial dysfunction and fat-burning capacity12:01 Carbs as short-term fuel, fats as long-term fuel13:56 Why protein matters15:13 How much protein the average person may need16:20 Why minimum protein recommendations may not be optimal18:14 Plant proteins, supplements, and vegetarian considerations19:39 Why muscle mass declines with age21:09 Weight training and preserving muscle tissue22:02 Why you may wake up more tired than when you went to bed23:11 Deep sleep, sleep inertia, and inconsistent rest25:43 Why naps help some people and ruin sleep for others27:28 Busy tired vs. metabolic or hormonal problems28:41 Why medication without lifestyle change misses the root30:34 Protein, prediabetes, and blood sugar regulation32:23 Protein intake and body composition33:41 Dad bod, belly fat, and fatherhood37:05 Hormonal changes after having a baby38:42 Keto, fasting, cardio, and stubborn belly fat39:29 Fasting vs. time-restricted eating40:34 Ketosis does not always mean body-fat loss41:50 Why cardio is not mainly for burning calories42:44 Nutrient density vs. energy density45:12 Running outside vs. treadmill48:19 Early warning signs for diabetes and metabolic disease49:00 VO2 and cardiovascular fitness as missed warning signs53:06 Basic tests for diabetes and heart disease risk55:20 Why food journaling is the first intelligence report59:35 Lifestyle changes with the biggest payoff01:00:10 Start small: 15 minutes a day01:01:46 Walking, adaptation, and energy01:02:40 Sleep, stress, and disease risk01:04:30 Creatine, sleep deprivation, and recovery support If this conversation challenged the way you think about your body, start with the Faithful Fitness 40-Day Devotional.It was written to help Christians stop treating the body as either an idol to worship or a problem to ignore — and begin seeing it as a gift to steward under Christ.Get Faithful Fitness here:FaithfulFitnessDevo.comThis conversation originally took place on The Samir Show.Check out Samir's work and follow his show for more thoughtful conversations on health, mindset, and human performance https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lST4zzD4Hcs&t=387sBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/faithful-fitness-with-coach-alex-vanhouten--5150768/support.
How do distributors find better leads and close deals faster?Tim Rasmussen, Founder of Rivet|MRO, explains why most distributors struggle with lead quality and how data changes that process. By analyzing real customer data and identifying high-value segments, teams can target prospects that are more likely to buy.This approach, often called customer cloning, helps sales teams get into accounts faster, close deals sooner, and increase order size. In some cases, results include a 300% increase in orders and significant sales growth. The episode also covers how clickable catalogs and digital tools support sales and how a consistent social media presence builds credibility. In one case, this led to a $190 million opportunity from a prospect that had been watching over time.This is part two of a two-part series on how distributors can use data, digital tools, and co-op marketing to drive sales growth without increasing spend.What You'll Learn:Why most distributors struggle to generate high-quality leadsHow data reveals high-value customer segmentsWhat the customer cloning strategy looks like in practiceTurning data into targeted campaigns that improve sales performanceHow better targeting leads to faster deals and larger ordersHow digital tools like clickable catalogs support sales and e-commerceWhy is consistent social media building credibility with decision makersHow focused campaigns led to 300% increase in orders and strong sales growth If your sales team is struggling to find the right leads or your outreach is not turning into real opportunities, this episode breaks down how better targeting and a data-driven strategy can improve results.

Most people don't fail because of their limitations…They fail because of the limits placed on them.In this episode of the Crackin' Backs Podcast, we sit down with Kyle Landi and his mother Kimberly—a duo who are redefining what's possible for individuals living with Down syndrome, autism, and developmental challenges.Kyle was born into a world that immediately labeled him.Low expectations.Boundaries.Limitations.But Kimberly refused to accept that narrative.She literally rewrote the playbook—challenging the system, asking better questions, and raising Kyle without the constraints society tried to impose.The result? A competitive bodybuilder An athlete A man, and family, on a mission to change how the world sees disabilityIn This Episode, We Explore:Why society's expectations—not biology—are often the biggest limitationThe truth about Down syndrome, autism, and physical performanceHow strength training can improve muscle tone, longevity, and confidenceThe role of hormones, health optimization, and early interventionWhat parents, coaches, and clinicians are getting wrong about developmental disabilitiesHow identity—not diagnosis—shapes long-term outcomesWhat it really takes to raise a child without limits in a world full of themThis isn't just a conversation about disability.It's about human potential.Why This Episode MattersWe're living in a time where awareness is growing…but expectations are still too low.For individuals with Down syndrome and autism, the conversation is often focused on limitations—what they can't do.This episode flips that narrative.It challenges:Medical assumptionsSocial stigmasAnd the quiet ceilings placed on people from day oneAbout Kyle Landi and his mom KimberlyKyle Landi is an athlete, bodybuilder, and advocate who is changing the conversation around Down syndrome, autism, and performance. Through strength training and discipline, he is proving that capability is not defined by diagnosis.Kimberly Murphy, his mother, is the driving force behind that transformation—an advocate who challenged traditional thinking, pursued innovative health strategies, and refused to let her son be limited by outdated beliefs.Together, they represent what happens when: You stop accepting labels You question the system And you build a life without limitsFollow Kyles journey via InstagramWe are two sports chiropractors, seeking knowledge from some of the best resources in the world of health.

What if recessions don't actually destroy companies… but expose the ones that were already fragile?In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained, we unpack what really happens inside companies when the market turns and the rules of easy growth disappear. Using real-world case studies and corporate finance frameworks, we explore how downturns compress timelines, expose weak balance sheets, and force finance teams into survival mode almost overnight.We break down the hidden mechanics of business survival, from liquidity crises and covenant traps to the difficult tradeoffs between protecting cash, maintaining profitability, and positioning for recovery. This is not theory. It is the real, messy decision-making that finance teams face when conditions deteriorate fast.Why recessions accelerate existing weaknesses instead of creating new onesHow liquidity dries up and why cash becomes the only metric that mattersThe “trailing 12-month covenant trap” and how one bad quarter can impact a full yearWhy hiring freezes and layoffs can quietly damage long-term performanceHow pricing decisions during downturns can permanently erode valueWe also explore the counterintuitive strategies used by resilient companies. Instead of cutting everything, the strongest businesses protect pricing power, continue investing selectively, and use downturns to capture market share while competitors retreat.Through case studies, we examine how different companies responded to crisis conditions:Costco built resilience through recurring membership revenueMcDonald's benefited from consumer “trade-down” behavior and franchise economicsCircuit City collapsed after cutting institutional knowledge at the worst possible timeThe key takeaway is simple. Recessions do not change a company's trajectory. They reveal it and accelerate it.If you want to understand how companies actually survive economic downturns, how finance teams manage crisis scenarios, and how to evaluate business resilience before the next cycle hits, this episode will change how you analyze risk and read financial news.

What if your muscles were the most important organ in your body for living a longer, healthier life? In this episode, Dr. Robert Hariri sits down with Dr. Jacob Wilson, founder of the Applied Science & Performance Institute in Tampa, Florida, to explore the cutting-edge science of muscle health and aging.Dr. Wilson breaks down why muscle is far more than just a tool for movement - it's a critical endocrine organ that synthesizes proteins, supports immune function, and houses your body's regenerative stem cell reservoir. They discuss the science of myostatin inhibition, how blocking this protein can counteract age-related muscle loss, and what the latest clinical trials are showing.In this episode:Why muscle is a critically important organ for longevityResistance training fundamentals: bodyweight, bands, weights & machinesAnaerobic vs. aerobic exercise and what matters mostThe role of mitochondria in endurance and muscle healthMyostatin inhibition and clinical research from the Applied Science & Performance InstituteStem cells, regenerative medicine, and cell therapyKetogenic nutrition, ketones, and brain performanceHow to maximize your body's regenerative engine at any ageWhether you're an elite athlete or just beginning your health journey, this conversation will change the way you think about building and preserving muscle for a longer life.
Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Recorded live at the TST Big Event 2026, host Carm Capriotto sits down with Andrew Fischer, shop manager at Cergizan's Auto and Truck Repair in Northwest Indiana, and an industry trainer. Andrew shares his disciplined, process-driven approach to diagnostics, his passion for technician development, and why shop culture plays a defining role in long-term success. From daily habits to big-picture philosophy, this conversation is a roadmap for building more confident, capable technicians. What You'll Learn: Why committing to at least 40 hours of continuous education each year can dramatically reduce comebacks and improve shop performanceHow to build learning into daily routines: whether through short practice sessions, webinars, or online training resourcesThe power of Standard Operating Procedures (SOPs) and why “going rogue” in diagnostics leads to inefficiencyHow Andrew's “detective mind mapping” technique helps technicians visually organize problems and accelerate accurate diagnosesWhy revisiting foundational knowledge is critical and how ego often prevents technicians from mastering the basicsHow embracing failure strengthens diagnostic ability and builds real-world expertiseThe importance of capturing and studying “known good” vehicle data to improve accuracy on future repairs Great diagnostics is about discipline, process, and constant learning. Shops that invest in their people, reinforce foundational skills, and create a culture where failure fuels growth will not only solve problems faster but build stronger, more resilient teams.

How does voice work move from technique… into transformation?In Part 2 of this conversation, Dr. Saul Rosenthal continues his discussion with Daniel Pinals. Daniele is a singing coach, performer, and licensed mental health counselor. The discussion explores how voice, therapy, and the nervous system intersect in real, lived experience.Daniel describes how vocal training and psychotherapy share a common foundation: awareness of the body and internal experience. Whether through the OneVoice method or approaches like Internal Family Systems (IFS) and EMDR, the work often begins with noticing—what's happening in the voice, in the body, and beneath the surface.The conversation moves into powerful examples of how singing can open emotional pathways, from children discovering their feelings through music to adults revisiting and transforming experiences tied to trauma. Along the way, we explore performance anxiety, the role of exposure and safety, and how identity and life experience shape a person's relationship with their voice.This episode brings the focus squarely onto healing, integration, and authentic self-expression—not just as artistic goals, but as deeply human ones.In This Episode, We Discuss:How the OneVoice method informs therapeutic awareness and self-observationThe role of IFS (parts work) in understanding fear, self-doubt, and vocal blocksWhat “mental health–informed voice lessons” look like in practiceReal examples of emotional release and unburdening through singingHow singing can function as a form of safe exposure to anxiety and traumaUnderstanding and working with performance anxietyThe difference between private expression and public performanceHow identity, culture, and background influence creative expressionA philosophy of voice as authentic self-expression and personal growthWhy This Conversation MattersFor many people, the voice is more than a skill—it's a reflection of what feels safe to express.By integrating trauma-informed therapy with vocal work, this conversation highlights how creativity can become a pathway to healing, resilience, and self-discovery. It also underscores a key idea: expression isn't just about being heard by others—it's about reconnecting with parts of ourselves that may have gone silent.About Our GuestDaniel Pinals is a singing coach, performer, and licensed mental health counselor based in the Boston area. She integrates vocal training with trauma-informed approaches, including EMDR and Internal Family Systems (IFS), and offers both voice lessons and therapy services.Learn more:https://www.breakitdownvocals.com/https://www.singonevoice.com/aboutonevoicehttps://www.realtalkpractice.com/A Message to ListenersIf you've ever felt hesitant to use your voice—to sing, speak, or express yourself—this episode offers a different perspective: that hesitation may not be about ability, but about safety, experience, and learning.As Daniel reminds us, singing is a skill—and like any skill, it can be developed with patience, openness, and self-compassion .Contact us at healthybrain@nrbs.org.Subscribe here or wherever you get your podcasts.Watch the video versions of our podcasts and Subscribe there as well!This podcast is produced by the Northeast Region Biofeedback Society.

Hello and welcome to Episode 321 of The People Powered Business Podcast.Are you stuck doing everything in your business because it just feels quicker and easier than explaining it to someone else? Like you're constantly putting out fires, jumping back into tasks, and wondering why your team isn't stepping up? You're not alone and this is exactly where so many business owners get stuck.I keep seeing this pattern with growing businesses. You start out because you're great at what you do, but as your team grows, your role has to shift. The problem is, no one teaches you how to make that shift. It's uncomfortable, it's unfamiliar, and it can feel easier to just stay in the doing. But staying there holds your business back and, more importantly, it holds your team back too.In this episode, I unpack what it really takes to step out of the day-to-day and into leadership. I talk about why letting go feels so hard, how your expectations might be setting your team up to fail, and the subtle ways you might be undermining their confidence without even realising it. I also share a simple mindset shift that can completely change how you feel about delegation, plus the structures you need in place if you actually want your team to take ownership. One of the biggest insights? If you keep swooping in to “fix” things, you're training your team to stop thinking for themselves.In this episode we cover: Why your role must change as your business grows and what happens if it doesn't The real reason delegation feels frustrating and how to reset your expectations How stepping back actually builds a stronger, more capable team The impact of “swooping in” and how it quietly undermines trust and initiative The structures and support you need to lead, not just doLinks & Resources:
In this episode of It Could Be Your Eyes, Dr. Juanita Collier and Jess Liedke dive into a surprising reason many golfers struggle with inconsistency—even when their swing, equipment, and practice routine stay the same.Ever had a great day on the course followed by a completely off day with no clear explanation? This episode breaks down why that happens—and why it may not be your swing at all.Instead, the real issue could be your visual system.
In this Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm talking about one of the sneakiest forms of distorted thinking: shoulds.You know the ones: I should be doing more. I should have this figured out by now. I should be more disciplined, more patient, more productive. These thoughts can sound helpful on the surface, but often they leave us feeling ashamed, guilty, disconnected, and never quite enough.In this episode, I break down three common types of “shoulds”: the outward-facing shoulds tied to habits and expectations, the shoulds that come from a lack of self-acceptance, and the shoulds rooted in unrealistic standards for ourselves or other people. I also share practical mindfulness tools you can use in real time to work with these thoughts instead of getting hooked by them. We explore practices like labeling, cognitive diffusion, acceptance, self-compassion, psychological distancing, and grounding in the present moment.This is not about getting rid of every self-critical thought forever. It's about learning how to notice them, soften their grip, and come back to what's actually here.If you've been feeling pressured by your own inner voice lately, this episode is a reminder that you are not alone. There are skillful, compassionate ways to meet yourself in those moments.Other meditations:- Slowing Down the Rush- How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance- How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
This week started with TikTok ads about male kegels, beet root, and supplements promising better performance.I thought I was about to record a “grown” episode.But the more I sat with it, the more I realized… this isn't about sex.It's about the fact that I don't know how to relax. I don't know how to let go. I've been “on” for so long, my body forgot how to turn off.And it's showing up everywhere.In my sleep.In my stress.In my body.And yeah… in my sex life too.This episode is for the people who carry the weight for everyone else and forgot how to carry anything for themselves.If you've ever been the strong one, the dependable one, the one everybody leans on… this one is for you.What we get into:Why this isn't really about sex or performanceHow being “always on” shows up in your bodyThe difference between resting and just pausingWhy pleasure feels like pressure when you can't let goHow stress quietly runs your life if you don't check itIt's About DAMN Time:It's about damn time I stop treating rest like a reward… and start treating it like a requirement.D.A.M.N. Challenge:This week, don't try to fix anything.Just notice where you're holding tension.Your shoulders.Your chest.Your stomach.Your breath.Then do one small thing to relax.Not perfect. Not deep. Not life-changing.Just one win.Take the bath.Go to bed early.Sit still for a minute.We're not chasing home runs.We're stacking small wins.
In this episode of Millions Were Made, Jessica Marx welcomes Ashley Brock, founder of The Paid Ads Academy and best-selling author of How to Win with Paid Ads, for an in-depth discussion on how paid advertising becomes a strategic growth lever—not a gamble—when executed with precision and leadership oversight.With more than a decade of experience managing over $200 million in ad spend, working directly with CMOs of Fortune 500 companies, and building a nearly eight-figure company in under three years, Ashley brings a rare perspective that bridges enterprise-level strategy and founder-led execution.Together, Jessica and Ashley examine why many businesses struggle to see returns from paid ads and what separates organizations that scale profitably from those that continuously reinvest without clarity.They explore:Why paid advertising failures are often rooted in messaging and positioning, not platformsThe five core competencies required for effective and profitable ad performanceHow founders can use paid ads to increase visibility while maintaining brand trustCommon misconceptions around testing, learning periods, and performance benchmarksMinimum investment considerations and the importance of lifetime customer valueHow service-based and high-ticket businesses can successfully convert paid traffic into qualified consultationsThe evolving role of AI, automation, and creative testing within Meta and other platformsStrategic considerations for bringing paid advertising in-house versus outsourcingAshley also shares her transition from agency leadership to entrepreneurship, the operational lessons learned along the way, and why understanding paid advertising is no longer optional for founders scaling into seven and eight figures.This conversation is designed for leaders who want clarity, accountability, and sustainable growth—without relying on outdated strategies or blind experimentation.If paid advertising is part of your growth strategy—or needs to be—this episode is for you.Listen now!Mini-timeline00:00–03:40 — Introduction to Ashley Brock and her professional background03:41–07:20 — From agency leadership to entrepreneurial transition07:21–11:10 — The realities of large-scale ad management and performance pressure11:11–15:30 — Why most paid advertising underperforms15:31–19:40 — The five core skills behind profitable ad strategy19:41–23:50 — Messaging, targeting, and platform alignment23:51–27:30 — Visibility, trust, and pre-ad infrastructure27:31–32:10 — Testing frameworks and performance expectations32:11–36:50 — Budget strategy, lifetime value, and scalability36:51–41:10 — Paid ads for service-based and high-ticket offers41:11–46:00 — Platform evolution, AI-driven targeting, and creative strategy46:01–50:00 — In-house vs. outsourced advertising models50:01–End — Final insights and next stepsResourcesFollow @millionsweremade on Instagram for frameworks + strategy tipsLearn about Ashley's programs: Paid Ads Playbook, Ads Mastery Mastermind, & Win with Paid Ads ChallengeConnect with Jessica:Instagram: @millionsweremade | @thejessicamarxWork with Jessica: Tailored PremierWebsite: Millions Were MadeConnect with Ashley Brock:Website: https://www.paidadscoaching.com/challenge Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ads.with.ashley LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ashleyjettonbrock/

And most business owners either:→ Ignore it completely→ Or obsess over the wrong numbersSo let's simplify it.You don't need to track everything.You just need to understand what matters and what it's telling you.In this episode, I walk through:Why views don't reflect true performanceHow audience retention reveals what's actually workingWhy your first 30 seconds matter more than anything elseThe role of titles and thumbnails in driving clicksHow to use impressions to diagnose your growthBecause if your content isn't holding attention…it's not building trust.And if it's not building trust…it's not driving business.Key TakeawaysViews alone don't measure content effectivenessAudience retention is the strongest performance signalThe first 30 seconds determine viewer behaviorClick-through rate reflects packaging—not depthImpressions indicate distribution potentialTimestamps:[00:00:00] – Why Views Alone Don't Grow Your Business[00:01:00] – The Biggest YouTube Analytics Mistake[00:02:00] – Why Views Are a Misleading Metric[00:02:45] – What Actually Matters: Watch Time & Retention[00:03:30] – How to Use Audience Retention to Improve Content[00:04:00] – Fix This First: Your First 30 Seconds Matter Most[00:04:30] – Click-Through Rate: Are People Even Clicking?[00:05:00] – Thumbnail & Title Strategy That Drives Growth[00:05:30] – Impressions: Why You Might Not Be Getting Seen[00:06:00] – How to Diagnose Your YouTube Performance Fast[00:06:15] – Stop Chasing Views—Start Building Trust[00:06:30] – The Only 3 Metrics You Need to Track[00:07:00] – Turn Analytics Into Real Business GrowthIf you've been focused on views… this is your moment to shift.Go into your analyticsFind where people drop offAnd fix your first 30 secondsBecause that's where your growth actually starts.And if you want your content to do more than just get watched—if you want it to build trust, generate leads, and grow your business—You don't need more content.You need better insight.Learn more about Katie and Next Step Social & Podcasting:Speaking: https://katiebrinkley.com/Website: https://www.nextstepsocial.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/katiebrinkleyYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/@rockymountainmarketingInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/iamkatiebrinkley/ Hosted on Acast.

Can food truly reverse chronic disease and what can leaders learn from it? In this powerful episode of the Collaboration Global Podcast, host Gill Tiney sits down with Nicolette Richer to explore a transformative perspective on food as medicine and how organic, plant-based whole foods can help reverse chronic illnesses and restore long-term wellness. But this conversation goes beyond health it's about rethinking systems, habits, and how we build sustainable, purpose-driven communities.
In this Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm recording on a trail run and thinking out loud about something I've been re-examining in my own life: the pressure to constantly optimize and get better.We hear it everywhere: be more productive, improve every day, maximize your time. And while growth and striving for excellence matter, I've been noticing how easily that mindset turns into pressure, guilt, and a constant feeling of not doing enough.In this episode, I share how I've been unlearning that pattern, what it actually means to “strive well,” and why doing less can sometimes lead to better performance, creativity, and well-being.I also guide you through a simple mindfulness practice you can do while moving to help you notice:Where you're putting pressure on yourselfThe inner voice telling you to do moreHow to reconnect with contentment in the middle of effortThe goal isn't to stop growing, it's to redefine what getting better actually looks like. If you've been feeling stuck in the cycle of always needing to do more, this one's for you.Other meditations:- Slowing Down the Rush- How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance- How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
In this episode, Clint has a conversation with Dr. Vanessa Druskat, Associate Professor at the University of New Hampshire and author of “The Emotionally Intelligent Team” about why team performance isn't driven by individual talent, but by the culture teams create together.Dr. Druskat challenges the common belief that stacking a team with top performers guarantees success. Instead, she explains how the norms teams build around trust, belonging, and interaction ultimately determine whether a group thrives or struggles.Drawing from decades of research and real-world experience, Vanessa introduces the concept of team emotional intelligence (Team EI) and why the way people interact matters more than who is in the room.She also breaks down why most teams underperform, how leaders can think in terms of systems (not individuals), and what it really takes to create an environment where people contribute their best.This is the first part of a two-part conversation.Topics Covered:Vanessa's background and what led her to study team performanceWhy great teams aren't built by simply hiring top talentThe concept of team emotional intelligence (Team EI)The difference between individual EI and team-level EIWhy team norms, not personalities, drive performanceHow team culture differs from company cultureWhy interactions are the true engine of team successThe role of trust, candor, and accountability in high-performing teamsWhy most teams fail to share their best ideasThe importance of belonging and feeling valued at workHow leaders can shift from a talent mindset to a systems mindsetWhy teams outperform individuals in decision-makingThe hidden cost of competition within teamsHow to start building a stronger team culture immediatelyLinks:Vanessa's website - https://www.vanessadruskat.com/Vanessa's LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/vanessa-druskat/Vanessa's book, “The Emotionally Intelligent Team” - https://amzn.to/4bN4mWl

Lottie Brinks is back on the Everyday Ultra Podcast, and this one goes way deeper than just race results.In this episode, Lottie shares how mountain biking has become a huge part of her life — not as a way to build fitness, but as a way to sharpen her mind, improve her confidence, and help her show up better in running and in life. We dive into the connection between fear and performance, how learning high-risk skills can translate to racing more freely, and why doing something purely for joy can actually make you a better ultrarunner.This is a powerful conversation about growth, presence, confidence, and the mental side of performing at a high level.In this episode, we talk about:Why mountain biking has become such a powerful complement to Lottie's runningHow practicing fear in one sport can build confidence in anotherThe surprising connection between line choice on the bike and downhill runningWhy doing something for joy and mental stimulation can actually help performanceHow to stay present and avoid overthinking before big racesWhat Lottie has learned about risk, confidence, and trusting herself as an athleteSHOW LINKS:Register for our race, The Desert Peak Ultra 100K + 50K at desertpeakultra.comWant to work with me to crush your next ultramarathon in our group coaching program?

In this episode, I explain why trying too hard during games can actually hurt your performance. I break down how pressure leads to forcing outcomes, how that creates tension and slows reaction time, and the mindset shift you need to make to play freely and perform at your best in competition.
Send a textIf you have ever caught yourself thinking, “I don't want to start over, but I can't stay where I am,” you are not alone. Many high-performing professionals reach a point in mid-career where their success on paper no longer matches how their work feels in practice.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I challenge the assumption that you need to start over in order to move forward. Most mid-career professionals are not facing a starting-over problem. They are facing a repositioning problem. When you understand that distinction, your next move becomes much more strategic and far less overwhelming.If you are feeling the tension between not wanting to start over and knowing you cannot stay where you are, this episode will help you reframe the problem and think more clearly and confidently about your next move.In this episode, I discuss:Why mid-career professionals often feel stuck despite years of strong performanceHow a role can outgrow your professional identity and become overly tacticalWhy values shift toward impact, meaning, and leadership at mid-careerHow career capital can create the feeling of golden handcuffsThe difference between “or” thinking and the “and” bridge strategyThe hidden risks of staying too long in a role that no longer fitsHow stalled growth affects confidence, visibility, and professional energyHow to separate facts from assumptions when self-doubt shows upJoin My Free Training: The Mid-Career ResetIf this conversation resonates with you, I invite you to join my upcoming free training called The Mid-Career Reset: Why Doing Great Work Is No Longer Enough at Mid-Career.In this live training, I will show you how to move beyond relying on great work alone and start positioning yourself as a strategic leader who is seen, valued, and ready for what is next.You can attend on either of the following dates:Tuesday, March 24 at 7:00 p.m. EasternWednesday, March 25 at 12:00 p.m. EasternReserve your seat here: https://johnneral.com/webinarIf this episode resonated with you, please share it with a colleague or friend who may also be navigating their own mid-career crossroads.Support 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."

What if confidence wasn't something you were born with, but a skill you could actually teach?In this episode of Developing Tomorrow's Leaders, Coach T sits down with Liz Banks—a former teacher, principal, athletic director, and coach who now helps teens and athletes build the mental toughness to thrive under pressure.Liz shares why the "car ride home" after a bad game is one of the most critical leadership moments for a parent, and exactly what to say (and what not to say) when your kid is struggling. We explore the difference between productive struggle that builds character and chronic stress that leads to burnout, and how to spot the warning signs before it's too late.If you are a parent, coach, or educator trying to help a young person navigate high expectations—whether in sports, academics, or life—this conversation is packed with practical tools you can use immediately.Key Topics Discussed:Why confidence is a teachable skill, not a personality traitHow to help young athletes perform under pressure by shifting their focus outwardThe "post-game car ride" script: What to say after a loss or a bad performanceHow to spot the difference between mental toughness and burnoutSimple "reset strategies" for over-scheduled, high-achieving teensBuilding a team culture on purpose (not just hoping for the best)How leadership on the court translates to success in the classroom and beyondConnect with Liz Banks:Website: https://www.joyforleaders.com/Social:https://www.linkedin.com/in/lizbanks44/https://www.instagram.com/joyforleaders/https://www.facebook.com/joyforleaders/https://www.tiktok.com/@joyforleaders?lang=enConnect with Coach T:https://linktr.ee/coachts_cornerSubscribe & Review: If you found value in this episode, please subscribe and leave a review to help other members of the "Village of Inspiration" find us!
What if confidence isn't something you pretend to have - but something you build from the inside out?In this powerful and expansive collaboration episode of the High Vibin' It Podcast, Kelsey Aida and Lynnsey Robinson are joined by confidence coach, TEDx speaker, and visibility expert Tara LaFon Gooch for a deeply honest conversation about embodied confidence, gratitude, and stepping into your next level without forcing, faking, or burning yourself out.Together, they unpack why “fake it till you make it” often backfires, how gratitude creates real self-belief, and why moments of doubt are often signs that you're growing into a new identity. Through personal stories, practical tools, and grounded wisdom, this episode reminds you that confidence is not about perfection - it's about self-trust.✨ What You'll Discover:Why fake confidence creates imposter syndrome instead of healing itHow gratitude becomes the foundation of real confidenceWhy self-doubt often appears right before expansionHow identity shifts happen during growth seasonsWhy confidence is an embodiment, not a performanceHow to reframe failure as redirectionThe psychology behind limited self-beliefWhy being new doesn't mean you're unqualifiedHow curiosity and self-compassion rebuild trust with yourselfWhy success begins with intention, integrity, and low attachment to outcomes✨ Want more?In the extended Patreon episode, we continue the conversation with deeper insight, behind-the-scenes stories, additional reflections on confidence and gratitude, and real-time connection with our community.

In this Mindfulness in Action episode, I'm sharing a spontaneous trail-side reflection on something that's been very present for me lately: how we manage drive without burning out and how we stay truly connected in a world that keeps telling us to “go bigger.”I talk about rethinking social media impact, why I'm increasingly prioritizing local and real-time connection, and how and asking better questions can completely change the quality of our relationships. I also share some simple practices I've been using, like voice memos and short phone calls, to stay meaningfully connected without adding more pressure or noise.Synchronous, human connection matters so much for feeling valued. That's why I wanted to explore how curiosity helps us move beyond surface-level interaction, and why small, intentional shifts can have a bigger impact than trying to reach everyone, everywhere.I close with a short mindfulness practice you can do anywhere to help you reconnect with your body, reflect on when you feel most connected to others, and take one small step toward more meaningful connection in your everyday life.You'll learn to:Ground into your body, even while in motionReflect on when you feel most connected to othersIdentify one small step you can take to create deeper, more meaningful connection offlineOther meditations:– Slowing Down the Rush– How to Regulate Your Emotions for Resilience and Performance– How to Combat Self-Criticism--------------The Grow the Good Podcast is produced by Palm Tree Pod Co.
