How to Answer 'Overqualified': Strategy to Secure Senior Roles Today, we dive into the second critical strategy for mid-career success: mastering your value proposition and defeating the biggest biases. 1. Master Your Value Proposition and Relevancy You must deeply understand your unique value and exactly where it intersects with market demand. Define Your Differentiator: What is your signature strength? Pinpoint the one thing that makes you stand out—whether it's crisis management, technical depth, or strategic leadership. Align with Needs: Research the industry's most pressing challenges. Map your history directly to these needs and articulate exactly how you solve their future problems. Communicate Current Value: Avoid telling old "war stories." Articulate the lessons learned from past achievements and explain precisely how those lessons apply to the company's current situation. Make your history relevant and current. John Tarnoff - https://johntarnoff.com
On this episode of Score Values, Tyler Buterbaugh was joined by KidsMatter executive director Nina Menis to share more information on the organization and how to help kids in need. Pinpoint Scholars founder Michael Bempah also joined the show to share his mission with the organization and how to help kids build a career in STEM.
Glen told me to "get back in the kitchen" under one of my videos last week. I don't know Glen.. I could turn off the comments. Block him. Move on. But here's what I can't stop thinking about: Glen has a job. He works with people. Maybe manages people. And if he's comfortable saying that where I can see it, what's he doing in the spaces where I can't? The eye rolls. The knowing glances. The pointed silences that are designed to be deniable. In this episode, I'm getting real about what these moments actually do to us as leaders - and the choice we're all facing about whether to make ourselves smaller or show up anyway. ----------------------- Craving inspiration?

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt Fanslow opens with “Resistance is futile” and tackles a common belief: “Resistance always makes current go down.” He walks through why that's mostly—but not always—true, and shows how electric motors (especially starters) can draw more current when unwanted resistance slows them down by reducing counter-EMF. Along the way he ties Ohm's Law to real diagnostics, shares a Rust Belt cable-smoker story, and closes with a heartfelt reminder about seeking help for the “stuff” we all carry.Key TopicsThe “always/never” trap in electrical claimsOhm's Law in real life: fixed voltage vs. changing conditionsWhy motors misbehave: counter-EMF as dynamic “resistance”Starter example: inrush current, RPM drop → current riseHigh-resistance cables that increase current (and make heat)Where the energy goes: heat in brushes/cables vs. mechanical workInstantaneous truth of Ohm's Law: accurate at a moment in time, not across changing dynamicsPractical tell-tales: slow crank + rising amps + hot/smoking cablesMental health note: removing stigma and getting professional helpPractical TakeawaysMotors are dynamic loads. If RPM drops (binding, poor supply, worn pump), counter-EMF falls and current can increase even as “resistance in the circuit” rises.Heat = the clue. Elevated current with slow rotation often means energy's being dumped as heat (cables glowing, insulation softening, brushes cooking).Measure what matters. Combine voltage drop, current measurement, and temperature/thermal observation under load to find where the power is going.Interpret Ohm's Law correctly. It holds at an instant; across changing conditions, re-evaluate with the values at that moment.Case Study HighlightChevy Suburban (late '80s/early '90s): Slow crank, ~400 A draw when ~150 A expected; braided negative cable glows red under a 10–20 s crank. Root cause: high-resistance path + reduced counter-EMF → higher current and wasted power as heat.Tools & Concepts MentionedCurrent probe / ammeterVoltage drop testingStarter relative compression patternsCounter-EMF (a.k.a. back-EMF)Old-school VAT-style analyzer (Snap-on digital variant)Quotes / Moments“It's rare we can say always or never.”“Ohm's Law isn't broken—it's instantaneous.”“If it isn't turning it into work, it's turning it into heat.”Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

Sedan rätt in i verkligheten med Hellofresh (00:27:27). En ganska trött Q3-rapport, men det ser ju ändå spännande ut inför 2026. Känns som vi endast kommer få se seklets största värdefälla eller moderns uppstuds här inom 12 månader. Inget mellanting. Sen blir det Lammhult (00:55:09). Lammen tystnade på rapportdag med -20%. Orimlig reaktion. Rimligheten återfanns och styrelseordförande och vd köper aktier. Lammhult studsade tillbaka och underliggande ses effekterna av förändringsarbetet. 2026 och 2027 borde se bra ut, annars kommer Lammhult röstas fram som seklets underpresterare. Vi tror dock på Per och Susanna med team.Snabbt över till Storytel (01:15:04). En banger till rapport där allt pekar åt rätt håll. Är Storytel för billigt?

Daniel Guest: Welcome back to The IMAGEN Golf Podcast, where we don't just talk about golf; we guarantee improvement. I'm your host, Daniel Guest—Top 100 Coach, founder of IMAGEN Golf, and the guy who's given over 39,000 lessons. Today, we're diving into the part of the game that separates the winners from the "what ifs": putting.And specifically, we're talking about the digital revolution that's happening on the short grass. Forget the old days of guesswork and "feel." The future of putting practice is technology, and if you're not using it, you are flat-out leaving strokes on the table.The Three Questions Technology Must AnswerFor two decades, I watched golfers try to feel their way to a better stroke. The problem is, your feel is a liar! You might think you're swinging straight back and straight through, but objective data often tells a different story.The best putting technology simplifies your improvement process by answering three fundamental, non-negotiable questions about your stroke:Where is your putter face pointing at impact? This is the number one determinant of your ball's starting line. A face that's off by just one degree will miss a short putt. Devices like a launch monitor or a simple mirror will give you immediate, irrefutable feedback on this.What path is your putter traveling? Is it inside-out, outside-in, or truly on the path you intend? Path impacts the quality of your roll and consistency. Technology like Blast Motion or a stroke arc template gives you that blueprint.How consistently are you striking the ball? Center-face contact is everything for speed control. Technology reveals if you're hitting it heel-to-toe, which instantly costs you distance and line.If your tech doesn't give you objective, measurable answers to these three questions, it's a glorified gimmick.Making Technology Work For You, Not Against YouI see the skepticism. You don't want to get so lost in data that you forget to simply hit the putt. I get it. The key is to use the technology strategically.Diagnosis, Not Dependence: Use a high-speed camera or a launch monitor for a diagnostic session. Pinpoint the specific mechanical flaw—the three-degree open face, the inconsistent path—then turn the tech off.Drill with Purpose: Once you have your problem, use simple, physical training aids (like an alignment mirror or putting gates) to train the feel that creates the correct data. The training aid reinforces the change, and the data validated that it was the right change to make. For example, if your issue is a pulled putt, the launch monitor tells you your face is closed. Your subsequent practice with a gate drill forces you to feel what a square face feels like.Skills-Based Training: Forget endless ball-rolling. The best technology, like putting apps, gamifies your practice and gives you structure. It forces you to hit five putts from 8 feet or focus on lag putting consistency. This skills-based approach is how Tour Pros train, and it's how we train here at IMAGEN Golf.The TakeawayThe modern golfer has access to the most powerful tools in history. Stop guessing, start growing! Don't let your practice be a matter of 'hope' and 'feel.' Embrace the technology that gives you objective data, allows you to practice with laser-like focus, and ultimately, guarantees you'll make more putts and shoot lower scores.Now, let's get out there and golf better, guaranteed!
What if the biggest risk in AI isn't the technology itself, but building it without understanding the problem first? Professor Didar Zowghi leads pioneering research on diversity and inclusion in AI at CSIRO's Data61. Her DNI guidelines were incorporated into Australia's national framework for AI in government in 2024. But her path to becoming a trailblazer in AI began unexpectedly, as a young woman from Tehran who couldn't study physics in the UK because her English wasn't good enough. Computer science, they told her, had its own language. That "serendipitous path" led to decades of groundbreaking work in human-centered technology design, over 300 published articles, and a leadership philosophy built on empathy, courage, and lifting others up. In this conversation, Didar shares her "don't think, just do" attitude through discrimination and doubt, why she advocates for "move fast and fix things" rather than "break things," and why 87% of AI projects fail. She reveals why organisations must understand the problem before chasing solutions, why equity and inclusion are safety issues, and how her mentors taught her which battles to fight in a male-dominated world. This one's for leaders who want to build technology, and lead teams,that truly serve humans. ----------------------- Craving inspiration?

SRI360 | Socially Responsible Investing, ESG, Impact Investing, Sustainable Investing
My guest today is Laura Segafredo – Chief Growth Officer at NatureAlpha, and a systems thinker who's spent the last twenty years connecting science, policy, and capital to build tools that help finance face the realities of the climate crisis.Laura began her career as an energy economist in Europe and California, contributing to major climate policy efforts like the Paris Agreement.She then spent nearly a decade at BlackRock, where she helped transform ESG from a niche concern into a $500 billion force across fixed income and index investing. She led the creation of green bond tools, sustainability frameworks, and data standards that shaped the firm's global strategy.But as ESG became increasingly politicized, innovation stalled, and Laura decided it was time to chart a new path. She took a leap – from the world's largest asset manager to NatureAlpha, a small startup using geospatial data to bring nature into investing.There, she's helping investors understand how companies depend on and impact natural systems – like water, soil, and biodiversity – and what happens when those systems start to break down. Most portfolios have never seen this data. Now they can.NatureAlpha's core product is Geoverse 2.0 – a geospatial AI tool that analyzes 8.5 million asset locations worldwide, tagging each with indicators of ecosystem health and how much a company depends on nature. It uses a quadrant model to flag the danger zone: places where companies are highly dependent on ecosystems – like rivers, forests, or soil – that are already deteriorating. That's where risk concentrates – high dependency, low resilience.The idea is to turn that risk into insight. Geoverse doesn't just map individual assets – it scans entire portfolios, helping investors see exposures they've never seen before.Through partnerships with data providers and platforms like ICE – and collaborations across the wider investment ecosystem – NatureAlpha is working to make its nature-related insights more accessible to investors within the tools they already use.That unlocks what Laura calls the “double dividend”: portfolios that reduce nature-related risk and keep pace with market returns.Still, Laura doesn't overpromise. If there's one lesson she's carried from the ESG battles, it's this: be transparent about what you know, and even more about what you don't. Today, she's studying eco-theology, writing essays, and speaking to philosophers, post-growth economists, and faith leaders. My conversation with Laura goes way beyond ESG.It's about what shifts when you zoom out from carbon and start seeing nature not as scenery, but as infrastructure. When rivers, forests, and soil stop being externalities and start showing up on the balance sheet.If you tune in, you'll also hear what made her lose faith in market-based climate solutions, what the biggest lie the industry tells itself, and why the next big revolution in investing may be a moral one.Because in the end, Laura's not trying to build better ratings or cleaner tickers. She's trying to build a better world – one that we might actually want to invest in.—Connect with SRI360°:Sign up for the free weekly email updateVisit the SRI360° PODCASTVisit the SRI360° WEBSITEFollow SRI360° on XFollow SRI360° on FACEBOOK—Additional Resources:- Laura Segafredo LinkedIn- NatureAlpha website- Moral Revolution Podcast
Det är rapportsäsong och två av iGaming-jättarna har inkommit. Fina Betsson och Evolution. Nelly har också glidit in och det var en riktig banger. Men först ut blir det löst snack. Allt mellan himmel och gjord. Sedvanligt sketsnack om allt från OnlyFans till C-RAD. Vi har med oss fina PinPoint idag som vanligt i rapportperioden. Din vän i rapportperioden så bara att gå in på https://pinpointestimates.com. Sedan blir det Betsson (00:28:04). Lindwall levererar stabilt, men inget som stack ut jättemycket finansiellt. Återköp på gång dock, och det verkade marknaden gilla. Hur man än vrider och vänder på detta kalaset så är det EV/EBIT bordell. Extremt stabilt och fina kassaflöden. Marknaden verkar endast hata Betssons kassaflöden eller tro att de ska minska rejält. Sedan blir det Nelly (00:53:39). Otrolig banger till rapport, men kursuppgången nästan utsuddad för att en större ägare verkar sälja. Vi tittar till och imponeras av Palm-effekten. Sedan dags för Evolution (01:14:40). Först avslöjandet om Playtech och sedan en rapport marknaden inte gillade. Det är tufft i Asien och fortsatt kämpigt generellt. Vi försöker ta oss igenom det som hänt. Det är inte lika billigt som Betsson, men nu är Evolution inte dyrt. Vi avslutar sedan med en Veckans Volley i sedvanlig ordning. Vi tipsar också om den nya tjänsten Quanor.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt Fanslow explores the complex relationship between passion, purpose, and the realities of working in the automotive repair industry. Inspired by a story of a successful businessman who rediscovers his childhood joy fixing bicycles, Matt reflects on how easily passion can fade — and what shop owners and managers can do to help their teams rekindle it.He tackles the classic debate of “follow your passion” versus “follow the money,” examines how shop culture and leadership can either nurture or crush enthusiasm, and shares candid thoughts on his own journey to keep that sense of wonder alive through advanced diagnostics, ADAS calibrations, EEPROM work, and more.From systemic demotivators like inadequate tooling and broken pay structures, to the transformative power of genuine leadership excitement, Matt invites listeners to reconsider how they approach motivation and fulfillment in their shops — and in their own careers.Key Takeaways:A Lesson in Passion: A story about a man who spent decades in a corporate career before returning to his childhood love — repairing bicycles — illustrates how deeply rooted passions can resurface and transform our lives.Passion vs. Paycheck: Matt discusses the tension between following your passion and pursuing financial stability — and why the answer isn't always as simple as motivational slogans make it seem.Keeping the Spark Alive: For technicians and shop owners alike, maintaining interest and curiosity often requires growth: new tools, deeper training, challenging work, and continuous learning.Demotivators in the Shop: Being “set up to fail” — whether through lack of equipment, poor information, inadequate training, or broken systems — is one of the most effective ways to kill enthusiasm and productivity.The Leadership Role: Leaders who show excitement about the work and actively celebrate their team's wins help create a culture that sustains passion rather than drains it.Shops as Schools: Matt draws a comparison to how schools can drain curiosity from kids, urging shop owners to avoid building environments that strip away the same energy and wonder from their technicians.Notable Quotes:“Those who do not believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl“Sometimes work sucks the wonder right out of us — the same way school can strip curiosity from kids.”“I get into advanced diagnostics, ADAS, EEPROM work — not just because I can, but because it keeps that childlike wonder alive.”“Setting someone up to fail isn't just about tooling or training. It's about robbing them of the chance to succeed — and that kills passion faster than anything.”Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

What if I told you there's a way to grow your business and deliver exceptional results around the clock without adding a single salary to your payroll? Here's the problem every owner faces: you need more hands on deck to grow, but hiring means higher overhead, longer training periods, and the constant worry that your best people might leave for greener pastures. You're caught in that classic trap. You can't scale without people, but people are expensive, unreliable, and frankly, we need sleep. But what if you could build a workforce that never calls in sick, never asks for a raise, and works tirelessly to deliver results for your clients 24/7? Today, I'm thrilled to introduce you to Cien Solon, a true pioneer who's cracked the code on this exact challenge. She's the founder of LaunchLemonade, which she describes as "the Canva for AI agents," and she's on a mission to ensure no one gets left behind in the AI revolution. But here's what makes Cien's story so compelling for agency owners: She's been integrating AI solutions for businesses since 2018, managed big teams and budgets in her fintech days, and now runs her current business lean with just her co-founder and an army of AI agents. With barely any marketing spend, they've built a community of over 3,000 users who have created more than 10,000 AI assistants and agents on their platform.

When launching a satellite into orbit, getting the positioning right is of paramount importance. As humanity sends more satellites into space, the vast space above our heads has become hazardously busy. State-of-the-art positioning technology has helped to counter this problem, with existing systems able to track the location of satellites to an accuracy of metres.... The post #345 Pinpoint Precision in Space Positioning first appeared on Engineering Matters.
Explore how raising your standards in small but meaningful ways can elevate your results and transform your business. For years, I thought growth meant doing more, but I've realized it's about doing better. Raising your standards isn't about perfectionism, it's about creating a baseline you're proud of. This shift not only attracts better opportunities but also helps you feel more aligned with your work. Action Steps: - Identify tolerations: Pinpoint three areas where you've been settling. - Define your baseline: Decide the minimum you're willing to accept moving forward. - Upgrade gradually: Tackle one small area at a time until it becomes habit. - Hold yourself accountable: Keep commitments even when no one's watching. - Pair standards with compassion: Use them to empower, not to shame yourself.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt Fanslow takes on a common source of confusion in automotive diagnostics: pressure, vacuum, and the difference between gauge and absolute readings.What starts as a discussion on PSI and inches of mercury quickly expands into how technicians interpret scan tool PIDs, why definitions matter, and where misunderstandings creep in—especially in the U.S., where we often mix measurement scales. Along the way, Matt also detours (in true Matt fashion) into physics, quantum mechanics, and the origins of universes from near-perfect vacuums.Yes, really. And yes, it still ties back to cars.Key Topics Covered:The two main pressure scales used in the U.S.:PSI (pounds per square inch) above atmosphericInches of mercury below atmospheric (vacuum)Where confusion starts:Vacuum gauges vs scan tool dataPSI vs inches of mercury and how both can technically read positive or negativeGauge vs Absolute pressure:Gauge pressure treats atmospheric as zeroAbsolute pressure references a sealed, near-vacuum chamberWhy MAP (Manifold Absolute Pressure) sensors often confuse techsRules of thumb:2 inHg ≈ 1 PSIAtmospheric pressure at sea level ≈ 14.7 PSI (≈ 30 inHg, ≈ 100 kPa)Engine vacuum at idle ≈ 18–20 inHg (≈ mid-30 kPa absolute)How to tell what your scan tool is showing you:Quick test: Key On, Engine Off → atmospheric pressure value reveals if it's gauge or absoluteMetric perspective:Why kilopascals (kPa) often simplify thingsThinking of vacuum as “low pressure,” not “negative pressure”Physics detour (because Matt can't help himself):Schrödinger's Cat and quantum absurditiesHeisenberg's uncertainty principleAbsolute zero pressure, absolute zero temperature, and why universes may form from vacuum energyWhy It MattersA clear understanding of how pressure is defined, displayed, and measured allows technicians to:Interpret scan tool PIDs correctlyAvoid misdiagnosis caused by unit confusionCommunicate more precisely with peers and customersGain confidence when moving between PSI, inHg, and kPaNext time someone's arguing inches of mercury vs PSI on a forum, remember: it's all about knowing whether you're looking at gauge or absolute. And if the conversation stalls, just casually mention that universes may have formed from absolute zero pressure. It probably won't help you win the argument—but hey, it's a good story.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt takes a break from technical talk to discuss a critical issue affecting both society and the automotive aftermarket: the growing inability to engage with differing perspectives. Triggered by recent events, including the tragic death of commentator Charlie Kirk, Matt explores the importance of challenging our own ideas, the dangers of social media echo chambers, and how this mindset translates to our professional interactions in the shop.Key Discussion Points:The Core Principle: Matt opens with a powerful quote from former ACLU director Ira Glasser: "Being offended is not a valid reason for silencing someone." He argues that the power to limit speech you dislike can easily be turned against speech you support.The Value of Unsafe Ideas: A healthy society and campus should be physically safe, but intellectually "unsafe," meaning ideas should be openly challenged and debated. This is how we strengthen, modify, or better defend our own positions.The Social Media Trap: Algorithms are designed to maximize engagement, which often means promoting content that enrages us. This leads to:Echo Chambers: We surround ourselves only with people who think like us.Radicalization: A lack of diverse perspectives can push us to extremes.The "Unfriending" Trend: Matt argues it's a mistake to purge our social networks of people with differing, even disagreeable, views. This eliminates valuable challenges to our own thinking.The Professional Parallel: This divisiveness isn't just political. In the aftermarket, we see it when we run down competitors or refuse to consider different technical approaches or business philosophies from our own.Seeing the Person Behind the Avatar: People often project an amplified or modified version of themselves, especially online or in stressful situations (like a customer at a service counter). Matt urges listeners to be curious about who people really are and why they might be acting a certain way, rather than making quick judgments.A Call to Action: Actively seek out and listen to perspectives different from your own. Engage with the ideas, not the person. Foster genuine curiosity to combat division and improve both personal and professional relationships.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

You're ready to make real money in your business — but without an offer that feels solid, it still feels like an expensive hobby.You're overthinking your offers. Going back and forth about what your “thing” should be — only to end up not putting anything out there consistently. Deep down, you're wondering: How do I actually create something that's valuable? Something people would happily pay for — and I'd feel good delivering?In this episode, I share the one strategic shift I made that helped me stop second-guessing, start creating real results, and confidently sell $3.5K coaching packages without feeling icky.You'll learn:* Why you can't just rely on mindset work to build true confidence* The exact steps I took to build a clear, aligned offer that I could confidently sell. * How to create an offer that's rooted in real value — not fluff or guessworkIf you're ready to stop overthinking and finally create an offer that feels grounded, transformational, and ready to sell — hit play on this episode now.I was scared to sell $3-$5k coaching packagesThere was a time in my business when I felt uneasy on every sales call.Even when someone said yes, my chest would tighten.Shoot. Now I have to deliver.What if I can't get them results?What if they regret working with me? Or even worse…. what if they think it's a waste of money.Sometimes the fear was so strong that I would talk people out of buying.If they had any hesitation, I'd tell them, “Yeah, maybe it's not the right time.”And while I deeply wanted to sell packages for $3-$5k and run a thriving business…I couldn't back my own work.It wasn't because I had unhappy clients—no one ever told me my coaching sucked.But the results my clients experienced weren't consistent.Some clients had massive breakthroughs and tangible shifts.Quitting their job. Starting a business. Landing a dream job.Others just “felt better” at the end.I never knew which way it would go and that uncertainty gnawed at me.It made me second-guess my offers, my content, my sales calls.I didn't feel like I could confidently say, “This is what I do and here's the transformation you'll get.”For a long time, I tried to mindset my way through it.I repeated affirmations.I hyped myself up.I worked on worthiness.But deep down, I knew the truth:I didn't fully believe in the value of my work because it wasn't consistently valuable yet.Creating my six-figure curriculumEverything changed when I made one shift:I created a signature transformational curriculum.Instead of relying on one-off sessions or hoping each client would “get something out of it,” I built a repeatable process—what eventually became my first program, the Career Fulfillment Formula.This was the turning point in my business.Having one clear, transformational process gave me:* A framework I trusted* Consistent, repeatable results for my clients* Confidence to sell high-ticket offers without feeling like a fraudIt became the foundation for my six-figure business.Step One: Commit to One ResultThe first thing I did was commit to one specific result.I distilled my coaching down into a “caveman phrase” of just a few words:Find work you love.Before this, my message was vague: “Follow your dreams,” “Live your best life,” “Unlock your potential.”But how do you create or measure results around things like that.When I got clear on helping people specifically find work they love—their path to fulfillment—everything started to come together.I wasn't just “a life coach.”I was someone who could help people clarify their career direction and find purpose through identifying the work they loved. Step Two: Create the CurriculumWith my one result in mind, I outlined a step-by-step process to help people get there.This wasn't about locking myself in a room and perfecting it for months before showing it to another living soul.I created it through:* Real conversations and market research* My lived experience of finding work I loved* My own zone of genius (mindset, inner work, purpose—not résumés or job applications)The first version of the Career Fulfillment Formula was just an outline.I knew where my ideal clients were starting, and I knew where they wanted to go.So I mapped out how to get them there.Step Three: Test It in Real TimeThe truth is, I couldn't sell the program at first. I tried launching it, and no one bought.But instead of scrapping it entirely, I found the perfect pro bono client—a friend who was exactly my ideal client.We agreed: she'd show up fully for the entire program and in return I'd get her feedback and testimonial.Every week, I created a short video, gave her worksheets, coached her through the material, and refined as we went.By week two or three of putting my pro bono client through the process, new paying clients started signing up.Suddenly I had people going through the program in real time, giving me feedback, and getting results.And this is where everything shifted.The breakthroughs became consistent.The testimonials started flooding in.I could see with my own eyes: this process works.Confidence Through EvidenceOnce I had a process that consistently worked, I no longer needed to hype myself up before sales calls.I didn't have to do affirmations or mantras to “believe in the value of my work”I had evidence.Clients were moving from point A to point B.Their lives were changing.And I could confidently say, “This is the result I help you create.”That evidence built unshakable confidence—something mindset work alone could never give me.What This Means for YouIf you're struggling to sign clients consistently, or if you secretly doubt the value of your work, it might not be a mindset issue.It might be that you don't yet have a signature process.A transformational curriculum that:* Delivers repeatable results* Aligns with your genius and lived experience* Gives you confidence because you know it worksYou don't build confidence by reciting mantras.You build it by creating a transformational process that works. By putting people through your process, and seeing the results over and over again.That's how you create an offer you can stand behind.That's how you build a business on solid ground.And that's how you finally start “believing in the value of your work.”If you're struggling to believe in the value of your work, here's the truth:It's so much easier to back your offers when they're built from your genius.When you understand your unique strengths—and how they translate into real results for your clients—you stop second-guessing yourself. You stop spinning on “What should I sell?” and start creating offers that actually feel like you.That's exactly what my toolkit, Map Your Genius, is designed to help you do.Inside, you'll learn how to:* Identify the strengths you've been overlooking* Pinpoint your unique “genius” (the intersection of your gifts + the value they bring to others)* Turn your genius into aligned offers that deliver real transformationYou'll walk away with a clear map of how to use your genius to help clients get results—and clarity on the offer that's best for you right now.
Is your tween or teen suddenly refusing school—or saying they're “sick” every morning? How do you tell what's normal pushback versus a red flag that needs support? In this conversation, Colleen and pediatric psychologist Dr. Ariana Hoet unpack school avoidance—what it is, why it happens, and how moms can respond without escalating morning battles. You'll hear how anxiety fuels avoidance (and why avoidance strengthens anxiety), the power of gradual exposure and tiny “wins,” and how to get granular: identify the real barrier (safety fears, social stress, learning struggles, sleep/screens), co-create a stepwise plan, and partner with the school. They offer concrete scripts, role-plays, and motivation-finding questions so your teen feels both validated and capable—and you're not stuck at 7 a.m. stalemates. Dr. Ariana Hoet is Executive Clinical Director at the Kids Mental Health Foundation and a pediatric psychologist serving primarily immigrant families in primary care. She is a Clinical Assistant Professor in Pediatric Psychology/Neuropsychology at Nationwide Children's Hospital and The Ohio State University, training the next generation of behavioral health professionals. A trusted national voice, Dr. Hoit has been featured by USA Today, CNN, Good Morning America, and Newsweek. Her passion is translating research into practical, family-ready tools. Three takeaways: Validate, then move forward: Empathize with the real feeling (“This is hard and scary”) and avoid the “just get over it” trap. Then use graduated exposure—tiny steps toward school—to shrink anxiety's power. Get specific to solve: Pinpoint the blocker (safety fears, bullying, skill gaps, not knowing where to sit at lunch, sleep debt, screens, or possible learning differences). Specific problem → specific plan (role-play scripts, identify “safe people/places,” consider tutoring/evaluation, adjust sleep and tech). Build the village & motivation: Coordinate with teachers/counselors, connect your teen to belonging (clubs, teams, arts), and discover their reasons to go (friends, activities)—not just adult reasons like grades.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this thought-provoking solo episode, Matt Fanslow tackles the complex and personal question: "What is success?" Drawing a fascinating parallel to Einstein's theory of relativity, Matt argues that there is no universal definition of success, just as there is no universal clock. Success, like time, is personal and relative.He explores how a "successful" outcome for a rookie technician (simply completing a complex job correctly) is vastly different from the definition of success for a seasoned master tech (high efficiency and productivity). Matt urges listeners—whether shop owners, managers, or technicians—to define success on their own terms, celebrate personal victories, and create environments where individuals can chart their own improvement.Key Discussion Points:The Physics Metaphor: How Einstein's theory of relativity—specifically, that time is not universal but personal—provides a powerful framework for thinking about success.No Universal Benchmark: Why comparing your success to billionaires like Elon Musk or elite athletes is a flawed and discouraging exercise.Success in the Shop:For a new tech, success might be finishing a job without help, even if it took three times the book time.For management, success is often tied to metrics like productivity and profit.The importance of acknowledging and validating these different definitions.The Role of Leadership: Managers must communicate clear, reasonable definitions of success and provide the systems and support for their team to achieve it. This includes mentoring on efficiency without dismissing initial accomplishments.Embrace the Learning Process: True growth comes from analyzing failures and missteps. Don't shortchange yourself by only focusing on the end result; take pride in the incremental wins.A Changing Industry: With a smaller pool of naturally experienced talent, shops must focus on building systems that allow a wider range of people to succeed, rather than expecting new hires to "succeed in spite of poor systems."Quotable Moments:"There is no universal success. There's only personal success.""Give yourself credit where credit's due... validate their successes, even as meager as we may find them to be.""This profession is really, really good about pointing out to us is we don't got it.""The failures, the hiccups, the missteps, that's where the learning comes in."Call to Action: How do you define success in your professional and personal life?

As planning season kicks into gear, I'm sharing one powerful question that every nonprofit leader should ask before setting next year's goals. It's a short episode, but it goes deep — because how you approach planning is just as important as what ends up in your plan. If you've been feeling stuck in survival mode, quietly absorbing the pressure of growth, or running on grit instead of clarity, this episode is for you.I walk through the subtle but critical difference between bracing and leading — and how that distinction can reshape your strategy, systems, and capacity going into the new year.In this episode, you'll learn:The difference between “bracing” through growth and leading through itHow to spot signs of burnout-inducing systems (or lack thereof)Key mindset shifts for designing a sustainable organizationKey Takeaways:Bracing means absorbing pressure and defaulting to overwork; leading means designing systems to carry the weight.If you're bracing, your team is too — your operating style sets the tone.You can't grow beyond the strength of your organizational design.Reflection Prompts (Step-by-Step Planning Prep):Ask yourself these questions as you design your goals and work plan:What am I tolerating or carrying that a system could solve? → Identify where your energy is patching holes that systems should fix.Where am I overworking to compensate for a weak container? → Look for signs you're doing more because your structure does less.What did I ‘white-knuckle' this year? → Pinpoint where urgency, not strategy, drove your decision-making.What part of the organization feels fragile or heavy? → That's your signal for a design upgrade.If I stepped into the role of architect instead of operator, what would change? → Envision what would shift if you led through structure, not scramble.Now is the time to invest in smart, strategic redesign of what's blocking your org's growth.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode of Diagnosing the Aftermarket A to Z, Matt Fanslow takes a detour from his usual pop culture quotes and instead pulls wisdom from an unlikely source: Tom Brady.Brady's recent interview stirred up some debate, but Matt digs into why technicians, shop owners, and service advisors should pay attention. It's not about football stats or Super Bowl rings—it's about preparation, accountability, and being part of a team that wins together.What You'll Learn in This Episode:Why Tom Brady's relentless preparation matters just as much in a repair shop as it does on the football field.How great technicians can (and should) take interest in more than just “their bay”—including front-of-house operations, management decisions, and shop profitability.The balance between accountability and respect: holding management and teammates responsible without tearing them down.How effort, process, and adaptability create opportunities for success—and why relying on “luck” isn't enough.The parallel between team sports and auto repair shops: winning requires every player, from the service advisor to the shop foreman to the owner.Matt also isn't afraid to jab at a few colleagues (sorry, Buffalo fans—Tom Brady didn't exactly give Josh Allen the blessing), all while reminding us that success in auto repair is about more than just cranking hours. It's about growth, teamwork, and improving the environment for everyone involved.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeThe Role of Content in the Automotive IndustryMatt reflects on his own content creation (radio ads, podcasts) aimed at demystifying auto repair for customers.The importance of transparency: explaining shop practices (e.g., credit card fees, brake fluid exchanges) without vilifying other shops."Chest-Thumping" vs. Educational ContentCritique of shops/technicians who create content showcasing their successes while trashing other shops.Shoutout to Oz Mechanics for focusing on excitement/problem-solving rather than tearing others down.The "Paper Tiger" PhenomenonTerm borrowed from martial arts: Those who "talk the talk" but can't "walk the walk."Historically, this applied to instructors who lacked hands-on skills—now amplified by social media's reach.Example: A shop's viral "success story" video ignored early diagnostic clues, leading to a questionable repair path.Ethical Dilemmas in Content CreationShould experts call out errors in others' content? Risk of appearing elitist or "stealing thunder."Public vs. private feedback: Acknowledging mistakes (e.g., follow-up videos) builds trust with audiences.The Power of Collaboration"Rising tides lift all boats": Success doesn't require devaluing peers.Admitting fallibility (e.g., ScannerDanner's approach) strengthens credibility.Notable Quotes:"Pushing people down to prop yourself up is like drowning together—collaboration is survival.""Paper Tigers thrive in the spotlight but crumble under real-world scrutiny.""The motoring public doesn't see diagnostic missteps—they just see a fixed car. But should we hide those mistakes?""Can we check our egos at the door?

What happens when someone joins your team and you realize they may not be fully aligned? In this episode of Recruiting Conversations, I break down how to address early misalignment with clarity, courage, and care, before it turns into a long-term retention issue or damages your culture. Whether it's attitude, communication, or trust, the earlier you notice and name it, the easier it is to realign or release. This episode gives you a 6-step playbook to navigate the tension without fear, frustration, or avoidance. Episode Breakdown [00:00] Introduction – Every leader will eventually onboard someone who looks right on paper but doesn't align in practice. Now what? [01:00] The Bigger Risk – Misalignment is more dangerous than underperformance. It affects culture, not just outcomes. [02:00] Step 1: Define What Alignment Looks Like – Get clear on the values, behaviors, and expectations that define your culture. [03:00] Step 2: Identify the Specific Gap – Don't generalize. Pinpoint exactly what feels off so you can coach clearly. [04:00] Step 3: Create a Conversation, Not a Confrontation – Lead with curiosity. Ask honest, open-ended questions to surface real issues. [05:00] Step 4: Reset Expectations With Clarity – Paint a picture of what alignment looks like going forward and ask for real commitment. [06:00] Step 5: Track Engagement, Not Just Results – Culture is upheld through presence and connection, not just numbers. [07:00] Step 6: Release With Grace When Needed – If misalignment persists, exit with dignity while protecting the integrity of your team. Key Takeaways You Can Coach Skills. You Can't Coach Misalignment – Values, trust, and direction must be shared or it won't work. Specificity Creates Clarity – Define the gap. Don't settle for “they don't fit.” Start With Curiosity – Misalignment might be fear, burnout, or past leadership wounds. Ask first. Culture Is What You Allow – If you tolerate misalignment, you rewrite the rules of the culture for everyone. Aligned Teams Self-Regulate – When alignment is strong, the team reinforces it without you having to manage it. Leadership isn't about waiting until it breaks. It's about noticing the drift and stepping in early with conviction and care. Want help building a recruiting and retention system that aligns with your values and scales with your growth?

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeKey Discussion Points:Two Types of Angry PeopleExplosive: Outwardly aggressive (e.g., yelling at a cashier).Implosive: Bottled-up anger that can lead to extreme reactions (e.g., the quiet cashier who "snaps").No One Starts at 100% AngerAnger escalates in stages—people don't go from 0 to 100 instantly.Triggers (work stress, home life, past trauma) compound over time.Personal Reflection: Parenting & ADHDMatt shares struggles with his son's ADHD and his own reactive anger.Realization: Frustration often stemmed from unrealistic expectations, not the child's behavior.Lesson: Awareness is key—but applying knowledge is harder than reciting it.Handling Anger in the WorkplaceFor Leaders/Co-workers:Approach outbursts with curiosity, not defensiveness.Validate feelings without justifying bad behavior.Ask: "What else is going on?" (e.g., home stress, financial fears).For Customers:High-conflict clients may already be at "50%" before they walk in.Respond with calm energy, active listening, and empathy.Example: "I understand why you're scared. It's hard to trust when you're unsure."De-escalation TacticsMirroring: Match the energy level you want (e.g., stay calm to diffuse rage).Validation: Acknowledge emotions without agreeing to unreasonable demands.Safety First: Remove yourself or others if the situation escalates dangerously.Why This Matters in the AftermarketMost customer outbursts are rooted in fear (e.g., being ripped off, losing control).A thoughtful response can turn a raging customer into a loyal one—or reveal irreconcilable differences.Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.
