This solo episode of Do Good to Lead Well focuses on one of the most common challenges in both leadership and everyday life: continually repeating the same difficult conversation without real resolution. Drawing on the important work of Crucial Conversations and Crucial Accountability, I explore the transformative CPR model (Content, Pattern, Relationship) as a deceptively simple framework for breaking frustrating cycles.I talk about how most people stay stuck addressing immediate content rather than recognizing damaging patterns or the deeper relationship impacts underneath. I also share concrete scripts using common scenarios to bring to life how shifting the “elevation” of a conversation can untangle recurring problems and restore trust.Leaders, teammates, and anyone facing persistent roadblocks in communication will walk away with actionable tools to finally resolve stubborn issues. Share your thoughts on how you have dealt with these situations and better yet, share the episode with someone who you feel would benefit from hearing it.What You'll Learn- What is C.P.R. in difficult conversations?- The importance of addressing issues early.- The trap of relitigating the same content without recognizing a pattern.- The risk of escalating prematurely to relationship-level concerns after a single incident.- The problem of “piling on,” or tackling content, pattern, and relationship all at once.

AI is everywhere in popular culture right now. Most of us are confronted with it daily and most of us are either excited or horrified. Is it helpful or harmful? If we are going to use it, how should we? What is the ethical and pragmatic use of AI in research?Drs Remle Crowe and Henry Wang join us to discuss what I think everyone would agree is a rapidly changing technology. Citations:1.

In this third installment of the special series on servicemember protections, Chris Willis is joined by colleagues Taylor Gess and Jeremy Sairsingh to explore the non-pricing protections under the Military Lending Act (MLA) and the Servicemembers Civil Relief Act (SCRA). The discussion covers the MLA's disclosure and delivery requirements, including the written and oral disclosure obligations that must be satisfied before or at the time credit is extended, and the practical approaches financial institutions use to meet the oral disclosure requirement. The team then turns to the SCRA's broad non-rate protections, walking through litigation protections, collateral protections governing repossessions and foreclosures, and mobility protections that allow servicemembers to terminate residential and auto leases and certain consumer service contracts upon qualifying orders, including the distinction between pre-service and in-service lease terminations and the ongoing DOJ enforcement activity in this space. The episode also covers the MLA's prohibition on mandatory arbitration clauses and anti-waiver requirements, the SCRA's specific form and timing requirements for valid waivers of servicemember rights, and the MLA's payment and contract term restrictions, including prohibitions on military allotments, prepayment penalties, and remotely created checks. The conversation closes with a discussion of the SCRA's anti-retaliation provision and why the prohibition on adverse treatment following a servicemember's invocation of SCRA rights has important implications for credit reporting, account servicing, and system design.

How is artificial intelligence reshaping the way we train and assess the next generation of family physicians? In this episode, Dr John Hayes and Dr Karim Hanna explore the promises and pitfalls of AI in residency assessment, from automating milestone tracking and grading robust essay exams to getting started with your first automated workflow. They also discuss how when AI takes on more of the data analysis and synthesis tasks, faculty will need to increase their coaching skills. On the other side, our guests offer an honest look at the risks of over-reliance on technology, cautioning educators to guard against "un-skilling" learners who may already lean too heavily on AI for clinical reasoning. Learn how to incorporate AI as a powerful supplemental tool while preserving the human connection that lies at the heart of family medicine. Hosted by Omari A.

In this episode of Fraudology, Karisse Hendrick provides a comprehensive debrief following the massive shifts in the world of artificial intelligence and digital fraud. Karisse shares her highlights and lowlights from navigating the industry's rapid evolution, cutting through the future-looking hype to provide practical insights for fraud and payments professionals.The conversation explores the evolving mechanics of Agentic AI in commerce, detailing how partnerships like the new Visa and OpenAI infrastructure are designed to make AI commerce a reality. Karisse provides an inside look at why OpenAI previously shelved its original agentic project to avoid becoming a merchant of record, shifting away from full structural ownership due to complex liability rules and low initial adoption.We also explore the "hot topics" dominating the fraud landscape today:The VAMP Threshold "Cliff": How Visa's monitoring programs offer no "trial" or "safety" months anymore, immediately penalizing merchants the first month they cross thresholds with instant fines and fees per chargeback and TC40.The Complexity of Agentic Chargebacks: Real-world examples of "authorized" AI purchases where merchants are automatically losing disputes because card brands do not yet have established "compelling evidence" rules or representment provisions for AI agents.The Hook of Cloned Sites: Why AI models looking purely for the "best deal" are inadvertently leading consumers straight into elaborate, cloned phishing websites that harvest credit card data and trigger fraudulent descriptors.Additionally, Karisse dives into the latest real-world data from a recent UK case study highlighting how fraudulent duplicate sites for household brands appeared directly inside ChatGPT's search indexes. We break down the immediate operational steps fraud leaders must take to protect their customer service channels and coordinate with IT to combat malicious DNS activity before these automated losses skyrocket.

Send us Fan MailYour fundraiser just handed in their notice. Now what? Before you dust off that three-year-old job description and blast it out, there are a few things you need to know. Fundraiser turnover is one of the most disruptive events a small nonprofit can face. Donor relationships go quiet, grant deadlines get missed, and someone who already has a full plate suddenly inherits a whole new set of responsibilities. If the hiring process that follows is reactive rather than intentional, you risk losing good candidates, burning out your team further, and making an expensive hire that doesn't stick.On this week's episode of The Small Nonprofit Podcast, Maria sits down with Brittny Wilson, CEO and founder of Rooted Hire, an executive search firm built specifically for nonprofits. With over 20 years of in-house fundraising experience and six years running her own search and interim services firm, Brittny knows this terrain from every angle.

So how do you overcome the pitfalls of family and ministry? Dave and Bethlie make three suggestions: Have ONE priority GOD IS EVERYTHING I know that we are taught that Family is First Bethlie and I perhaps take a different approach Seek ye first the kingdom of God and His righteousness, all these things will be added unto you.  All these things: Refers to God's blessings and favor and provisions The kingdom of God encompasses all of our Christian lives and responsibilities  Our walk with God - that is a priority Our family - that is a priority Our ministry - that is a priority This doesn't have to be about 1, 2, 3 It has to be about living our lives each day doing the right thing in the right way His righteousness: What does He want? What is right according to Him?   Pursue all responsibilities passionately and intentionally Dr. Bob Jones Sr. famously said - Duties never conflict.  Like any saying that can be challenged - it isn't the Bible But he has a point Duties must be fulfilled God doesn't want us to give up one for the other He wants us to live our life and win on all fronts Ministry is not above family Serve the Lord - with your family Family is not above ministry Serve the Lord - with your family Both are life and and both are God given responsibilities Win at both

Episode Summary Do you ever feel like you're practicing on an island, unsure of who to trust for quality CE or where to turn when you hit a wall with a complex case ? In this episode of Dental Digest, host Dr. Melissa Seibert introduces a masterclass in shifting your perspective from single-tooth dentistry to systemic health . Joining the show is Dr. Jeff Rouse, a preeminent authority on airway dentistry, prosthodontist, and Spear Education resident faculty member . Dr. Rouse completely reframes the airway conversation, arguing that most practitioners are getting it wrong by trying to force patients into prefabricated appliance boxes or focusing solely on end-stage sleep apnea . Instead, he explains why airway is fundamentally an anatomical problem . By pushing Frank Spear's facially-generated treatment planning into three dimensions—vertical, transverse, and sagittal—Dr. Rouse demonstrates how a compromised smile design is often a cry for help from an unhealthy upper airway . If you have ever bulked up veneers to camouflage a structural issue that actually required skeletal correction, this conversation will completely change how you treatment plan . Key Takeaways From This Episode Airway vs. Sleep: Why Dr. Rouse deliberately abandoned the word "sleep" in favor of "airway" back in 2008 to focus on early anatomical intervention before long-term neurological damage occurs . The Pitfalls of One-Size-Fits-All Appliances: A critical look at corporately and financially-driven prefabricated appliances in pediatric dentistry that prioritize practice profit over scientific, individualized diagnosis . The 3 Dimensions of Airway Anatomy: How the vertical, transverse, and sagittal boundaries of a traditional denture wax rim mirror the exact dimensions required for healthy nasal breathing . The Numbers Behind the Health: A look at clinical benchmarks, including Eric Doolan's research showing that a bone-to-bone palatal measurement under 30 millimeters guarantees illness, while 34 millimeters or greater promotes health . Recognizing the "Sick" Patient Typologies: The Apnea Patient: Often characterized by snoring, daytime sleepiness, high blood pressure, AFib, and a lack of deep sleep required to clear brain toxins, which is closely linked to dementia and Alzheimer's . Young, Fit Patients: Toned individuals (particularly pre-menopausal women protected by progesterone) who do not exhibit apnea but suffer heavily from functional somatic syndromes like chronic fatigue, IBS, fibromyalgia, migraines, and TMJ disorders . Pediatric Patients: Growing children whose airway deficiencies directly correlate with ADHD and ADD diagnoses, yet are routinely given medications rather than a proper breathing and sleep evaluation . Anatomy Wins the Day: Why normalizing skeletal and dentoalveolar housing should always be the priority, ensuring patients finish treatment not only healthier but with beautiful faces, perfect bites, and stunning smiles . Featured Guest Dr. Jeff Rouse is a prosthodontist in private practice in San Antonio, Texas, and a member of the resident faculty at Spear Education . He previously practiced alongside dental icons Dr. Greg Kinzer and Dr. Frank Spear in Seattle . Dr. Rouse is the co-author of the textbook Global Diagnosis: A New Vision of Dental Diagnosis and Treatment Planning alongside Dr. Bill Robbins, and he lectures internationally on dental aesthetics and airway prosthodontics .

Welcome to another episode of the Ridiculously Amazing Insurance Agent Podcast!

In this episode of Better Business, Better Life, Debra Chantry-Taylor sits down with Darryl Dillon-Shallard, Chief Growth Officer at Butterfly, to explore how AI is making custom software affordable again. Drawing on nearly two decades of experience in the digital industry, Darryl shares his journey from graphic designer to digital strategist, including the development of the My Stable app for horse trainers and his work helping organisations build custom digital solutions that solve real business problems. The conversation explores how AI is fundamentally changing software development. Darryl explains that artificial intelligence is dramatically reducing the time and cost required to prototype new ideas, making custom-built applications more accessible than ever before. Rather than forcing businesses to adapt their processes to off-the-shelf software, organisations can increasingly develop solutions tailored to the way they already operate. While AI presents exciting opportunities, Darryl cautions against rushing into development without proper planning. He explains why investing time in discovery, understanding user needs, creating a detailed project brief, and choosing the right development partner are all essential to delivering scalable, maintainable solutions that provide long-term value. The episode also looks at the evolution of digital technology, from the early days of Flash websites and mobile apps to today's cloud-based web applications powered by artificial intelligence. Darryl shares why many organisations are shifting towards browser-based applications that streamline internal workflows, improve productivity, and solve operational challenges more effectively than traditional mobile apps. Whether you're considering a custom application, exploring AI opportunities, or simply trying to understand where technology is heading, this conversation offers practical insights into how businesses can innovate with confidence while avoiding costly mistakes.       CONNECT WITH DEBRA:     ___________________________________________          ►Debra Chantry-Taylor is a Certified EOS Implementer | Entrepreneurial Leadership & Business Coach | Business Owner ►Connect with Debra: debra@businessaction.com.au  ►See how she can help you: https://businessaction.co.nz/  ►Claim Your Free E-Book: https://www.businessaction.co.nz/free-e-book/  ___________________________________________        GUEST'S DETAILS:   ► Darryl Dillon-Shallard – LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/darryl-dillon-shallard/ ► Website – Butterfly: https://www.butterfly.com.au/         Episode 278 Chapters:    00:00 – Introduction   00:38 – Introduction and Overview of Digital Transformation  05:36 – Evolution of Web and App Development  09:51 – Challenges and Pitfalls in Digital Development  18:04 – Comparing Quotes and Making Informed Decisions  18:24 – Examples of Successful Projects  25:42 – Future Trends in Digital Development  26:29 – Final Thoughts and Tips for Listeners

"These are long-term decisions that have far-reaching impacts — not just for us, but for future generations." Host Laurie Barkman sits down with Jennifer Wilson, founder of Oak Bay Coaching and Consulting and former CEO of the Canada Homestay Network — a family business her mother started in 1995 from a bed and breakfast in Toronto that has since placed over 100,000 international students across Canada.  Jennifer joined the company as an accidental second-generation leader, grew into the CEO role after completing her MBA, and spent 17 years building the organization before transitioning to chair in 2022.  She built a co-CEO structure, created a board of directors from scratch, and navigated a partial management buyout — all while keeping the family intact. Here's how she did it.   Key Insights The CEO handoff is as much symbolic as it is structural. Jennifer's mother passed her a vintage recipe box — the company's original "analog database" — in front of the entire team at a company retreat. That moment publicly transferred authority and gave the whole organization clarity about who was leading. Succession isn't just paperwork — it's a signal. A co-CEO structure can work — but only under two conditions. Different skill sets and clearly separated accountabilities are non-negotiable. Jennifer hired an HR consultant who specializes in co-CEO models, created distinct strategic plan line items for each CEO, and built separate performance reviews. When both conditions are met, both leaders say they wouldn't want to do it alone. Leadership succession and ownership transition are not the same thing — and confusing them is costly. Jennifer separated the two processes deliberately. She transitioned leadership years before she transitioned ownership, and treating them as distinct conversations gave the family time to think clearly about equity, estate planning, and sibling fairness without the pressure of an operational handover happening simultaneously. Give your successors enough time. Jennifer gave her two internal candidates 18 months of lead time before officially stepping back. That window allowed for trust-building, task delegation, and honest conversations about whether each person actually wanted the role. One of them said no — and that was crucial information to have before the transition, not after. Family-to-management buyouts require a mind shift, not just a legal agreement. The reframe that unlocked Jennifer's MBO: instead of "they're paying for the business with our revenue," think "we sold it on day one and they're paying us back." That shift changes the emotional dynamic — and the 80/20 split they landed on was driven in part by Canadian tax thresholds that required each buyer to hold over 10% equity.   Chapters: 00:04 Introduction of Jennifer Wilson 02:08 Origin Story: How Canada Homestay Network Began 04:30 Jennifer's Unexpected Path Into the Family Business 07:12 Flash Forward: When Succession Conversations Started 08:40 The Recipe Box Ceremony: A Symbolic Handoff 09:36 The Trio: Running the Business as a Family Team 12:00 Deciding to Think About Her Own Succession 13:12 Building a Self-Managed Organization 16:05 Identifying and Developing Internal Successor Candidates 18:24 The Big Reveal: A Co-CEO Structure 18:53 How the Co-CEO Model Works in Practice 21:15 Governance: Building a Board and Separating Strategic vs. Operational Plans 24:28 Pitfalls and What Went Wrong: When One Candidate Said No 25:21 COVID: Laying Off 100 People in Six Months 29:01 Ownership Transition vs. Leadership Succession 29:37 Equity, Estate Planning, and Sibling Fairness 38:17 The Management Buyout: How the 80/20 Split Was Determined 40:23 Top Takeaways for Founders and Next-Gen Leaders   Is your business truly ready—and are you?

You've got the retirement numbers all figured out. You're set. But - how will you fill your time on random Tuesday in Year 4 of retirement? Do you have that kind of "soft stuff" figured out? If not, this episode is for you.  Looking for a financial planner?  → PlanWithJesse.com In this episode, Jesse challenges the traditional, finance-centric view of retirement by arguing that long-term financial readiness is only part of the equation, and that the real risks often emerge in the softer domains of identity, relationships, and daily structure once work disappears. He begins by examining identity loss in retirement, highlighting how deeply career roles anchor meaning and how the transition away from a professional identity can trigger confusion or even depression, especially for high-achieving individuals, before introducing practical exercises like writing a retirement bio and deliberately defining post-career roles that create purpose and accountability. He then turns to relationships, emphasizing that work provides an often invisible social infrastructure built on proximity, repetition, and shared mission, and warns that many of these connections do not survive retirement unless intentionally replaced through external communities, recurring activities, and honest planning with a partner about post-work social life. In the third pillar, structured time, he explores how the loss of externally imposed schedules can lead to boredom, drift, and overreliance on low-value distractions like social media, arguing instead for a flexible "retirement rhythm" made up of consistent anchors such as morning routines, physical activity, social commitments, and long-term projects that provide shape without rigidity. He then expands into a series of behavioral and psychological pitfalls—including the end-of-history illusion, arrival fallacy, hedonic adaptation, productivity compulsion, and competence withdrawal—each illustrating how retirees misjudge their future preferences, overestimate lasting satisfaction, or struggle with the loss of daily mastery and external validation. He concludes by reframing retirement success as a system of intentional design rather than passive financial achievement, stressing that while portfolios may fund retirement, it is identity, connection, and structure that ultimately determine whether that retirement feels meaningful or disorienting.  Key Takeaways: • Retirement readiness is not only financial; psychological and structural factors often dominate outcomes. Defining 2–3 meaningful roles creates structure and accountability in retirement. • Workplace relationships are largely built on proximity and do not automatically persist. Retirees should intentionally build non work social networks before leaving work. • Retirement removes external scheduling pressure, increasing risk of aimlessness. • Core weekly anchors include routine, physical activity, social ties, and projects. • Psychological biases like the arrival fallacy and hedonic treadmill distort expectations of retirement satisfaction. • Successful retirement depends on deliberately designing identity, relationships, and structure—not assuming they will emerge automatically.

At last month's Bio-IT World Conference & Expo, Eleanor Howe, founder and CEO of Diamond Age Data Science, presented the Trends with the Trenches session based on gathered input from colleagues, clients, and advisors across the life sciences field. Coding agents were the central topic—how they're speeding up software development, open source maintenance, and analysis workflows while also shifting new types of responsibility to the human reviewer. Now, “just coding” is no longer enough, and Howe provides advice for early-career scientists on how to get hired in a different environment. Plus, she covers why simulating data can backfire, why smaller purpose-built models often win, and why better data curation, active learning, ELN automation, and federation may matter more than another flashy model demo. Links from this episode:  Bio-IT World Conference & Expo Bio-IT World BioTeam Diamond Age Data Science  Bio-IT World's Trends from the Trenches podcast delivers your insider's look at the science, technology, and executive trends driving the life sciences through conversations with industry leaders. 

[Recorded on 06/18/2026] There is a competitive sport called "cheese chasing." Every year, hundreds of athletes run/fall down a massive hill, breaking bones and bruising ribs, to chase a wheel of cheese. The Bible says that in the same way, humanity is chasing after the world, tearing up our lives and our souls at the same time. If you ever feel like you are in the pitfall of living for the world in your 20s, come listen to this week's message for a timely warning that it will not last.

Today we have another Pulm PEEPs Pearls episode about a core critical care topic. Furf and Monty will be giving a high level overview of the use of steroids in sepsis including a review of the relevant literature and recent guidelines, and pragmatic bedside points. Contributors This episode was prepared with research by Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor George Doumat. Dustin Latimer, another Pulm PEEPs Associate Editor, assisted with audio and video editing. Key Learning Points Why Steroids in Sepsis? Steroids do not treat the infection — antimicrobials are always first and remain the cornerstone. The goal is addressing critical illness–related corticosteroid insufficiency (CIRCI), where cortisol production cannot keep up with the overwhelming inflammatory demand of septic shock. Hydrocortisone helps in two main ways: Blunts the dysregulated inflammatory response — tempers the excessive vasodilation and febrile response that drive harm beyond the infection itself. Restores vascular sensitivity to catecholamines — sepsis downregulates adrenergic receptors; steroids turn that responsiveness back on. Clinical takeaway: The first thing you notice is vasopressor weaning (or a bend in the escalation curve) — not a rapid improvement in fever or white count. Caveat: These trials predate modern sepsis phenotyping. None distinguish hyperinflammatory vs. hypoinflammatory responders — they treat all comers. The Evidence: Four Landmark Trials Every IM resident and critical care fellow will eventually journal-club these four. The most consistent signal across all of them is faster shock reversal and reduced vasopressor use; the mortality question remains unsettled. Trial (Year)NRegimenKey FindingAnnane (2002)~300Hydrocortisone + fludrocortisoneMortality benefit in ACTH non-responders; criticized methodology and messy cortisol-response testing; not cleanly replicated.CORTICUS (2008)~500Hydrocortisone aloneFaster shock reversal but no mortality benefit, regardless of cortisol responsiveness. Raised (later allayed) superinfection concern. Cornerstone for abandoning routine cort-stim testing.ADRENAL (2018)~3,800Hydrocortisone aloneFaster vasopressor weaning; no 90-day mortality benefit.APROCCHSS (2018)~1,200Hydrocortisone + fludrocortisoneMortality benefit at 90 days. Bottom line: Faster shock reversal is consistent. Mortality benefit appears in 2 of 4 trials (both used fludrocortisone) but not the others. A 2026 meta-analysis showed benefit for hydrocortisone + fludrocortisone vs. placebo, but not for hydrocortisone + fludrocortisone vs. hydrocortisone alone — suggesting hydrocortisone drives the main effect. Who Gets Steroids, and When? 2021 Surviving Sepsis: Consider steroids for norepinephrine or epinephrine ≥ 0.25 mcg/kg/min for ≥ 4 hours despite adequate resuscitation — a reasonable bedside trigger. Early 2026 update: Moved away from a specific numeric trigger — consider steroids when a septic patient is not responding well to vasopressors or has escalating requirements. Make a clinical decision. (Quality of evidence: low to moderate.) Go faster than the threshold when: Known/suspected adrenal insufficiency or home steroids, or florid pressor-requiring shock on arrival. A practical escalation sequence: escalating norepinephrine → add vasopressin (per VASST) → then add steroids if requirements keep climbing. Do NOT wait for an ACTH stimulation test. It does not reliably predict who responds and only delays treatment. Sepsis is an elevated-cortisol state but can dissociate ACTH and cortisol, and cortisol-binding globulin is depleted — the test is too messy to guide care. What to Give: The Regimen Standard dose: Hydrocortisone 200 mg/day, typically 50 mg IV Q6H. (Original trials often used continuous infusions, rarely used in the U.S.) Some start with a 100 mg bolus to gain control. Higher dose: If chronically on steroids / adrenally insufficient, consider ~300 mg/day (e.g., 100 mg Q8H). Fludrocortisone: Unsettled. The two mortality-benefit trials added it (50 mcg PO/NG/OG daily), but hydrocortisone already has mineralocorticoid activity and meta-analyses don't show added benefit over hydrocortisone alone. Most clinicians omit it — adding it is reasonable and safe, just be honest about the uncertainty. Duration & Tapering Typical course: ~7 days is most common. Trial practices varied (ADRENAL ~7 days; VANISH used a taper after 6 days; some continue until pressors are off). No taper needed. You do not need to taper for adrenal insufficiency after a short course — just stop. If pressors dramatically rebound, you can restart, but most patients have gained the benefit they'll get by day 7. Pitfalls & Safety Hyperglycemia: Expected and must be managed (monitor closely; insulin drip if needed). No signal for major DKA / severe complications in the trials. Superinfection / fungal infection: The most-quoted concern, but the overall literature does not show a convincing, statistically significant increase. Be disciplined about stopping on schedule. Muscle weakness: Steroids can worsen critical illness myopathy; a short 7-day course likely has limited effect, but be aware. Other: GI bleeding (follow general PPI prophylaxis guidance) and sodium disturbances (watch for hyper-/hyponatremia). Two things we know: (1) steroids shorten duration of vasopressor support, and (2) they are relatively safe in sepsis. Whether they improve mortality — and in whom — remains open. The Five Pulm PEEPs Pearls Mechanism: Steroids restore catecholamine vascular sensitivity and blunt dysregulated inflammation. The clinical target is vasopressor weaning, not infection treatment. Evidence: Faster shock reversal is the most consistent finding. Mortality benefit is seen in 2 of 4 trials but not the others — still controversial. Some patients likely benefit; we don't yet know who. Trigger: A practical 2021 threshold is levo/epi ≥ 0.25 mcg/kg/min for ≥ 4 hours. Newer guidance drops the strict number — make a clinical decision based on poor pressor response or escalation. Dose: Hydrocortisone 200 mg/day (e.g., 50 mg Q6H). Adding fludrocortisone mirrors two trials, but meta-analyses find no benefit over hydrocortisone alone. Safety: Steroids appear safe in sepsis. Monitor and treat hyperglycemia; no marked increase in superinfection.

Our guest today is Laura Burkhauser, CEO of Descript, the video editor that's been AI-native long before “AI-native” was something you put in a pitch deck. Laura's route to the CEO seat started as a customer. She loved the product enough to knock on founder Andrew Mason's door and ask to work on it. She joined to lead product, but only three years later she's succeeded the well-known founder and is running the company.

[Recorded on 06/11/2026] In Jesus our sins are forgiven, but how should we view them after we are saved? Too often, we love to get our "license" to continue in sin, while pretending that it's all grace. However, the message of the Bible is that the grace that saves us is the grace that trains. Come check out this week' message as Ryan takes us through the pitfall of a license to sin.

A central discussion in the podcast focused on the applicability of the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS) for small Managed Service Providers (MSPs). Divergent perspectives were presented regarding whether the EOS framework is suitable for MSPs with very few staff. The conversation highlighted that while EOS provides accountability, transparency, and structured communication, some very small organizations (e.g., four employees or fewer) may find the framework's meeting cadence and process requirements disproportionate to their operational needs. It was noted that EOS promises value in promoting ownership and alignment but that this benefit is more likely realized when an organization reaches a scale where individual ad hoc communications become inefficient. Supporting these observations, it was emphasized that EOS, as detailed in resources such as Gino Wickman's book and related summaries, is designed with flexibility to span small, medium, and large teams. Examples were offered indicating that even companies with four employees have derived benefits through formalizing updates and consolidating communication, provided their baseline culture supports collective knowledge sharing. However, one position outlined that simply reading EOS materials may be sufficient for the smallest organizations to improve focus without fully implementing the structure, especially when daily meetings or formal processes are not otherwise necessary. The episode additionally examined risk management and operational best practices surrounding MSP business growth and eventual sale. The dialogue discouraged running a business constantly as if preparing for immediate sale, citing the need for risk-taking during growth phases. Factors such as maintaining diverse client portfolios, implementing clear master service agreements (MSAs), reducing owner dependency, and minimizing client concentration risk were underscored as practices that support both ongoing scalability and future valuation. A case was discussed in which valuation was negatively impacted by an overreliance on non-contracted, concentrated clients and a lack of W2 employees, illustrating the risk implications of operational decisions. For MSPs and IT service leaders, the discussion underscored the importance of regularly reviewing operational frameworks and business hygiene regardless of size. The tradeoffs between structure and agility require clear-eyed evaluation, particularly in managing risk, scaling sustainably, and ensuring future options for valuation or exit. While formal systems like EOS can strengthen accountability and communication, overengineering processes in very small teams may reduce efficiency. Careful attention to client diversification and contractual commitments is essential for risk reduction and maximizing enterprise value.   Title:    Is EOS good for a small MSP?What are we talking about today: MSP Question of the week: EOS framework in your business – is this good for MSPs?

[Recorded on 06/04/2026] One of the classic answers to the question "how are you doing" among young adults is: "busy." Unfortunately, Christians are often no different. But, what are we actually busy doing? Jesus has a life in store for us, but it may not be running around from Christian activity to Christian activity. Come learn from the story of Mary and Martha as we see God's heart for us to avoid Christian busyness.

If your prospects are ghosting you, dragging their feet, or making the final decision based on whoever has the lowest number, the problem probably isn't your price. It's that you're selling the plunger. In this episode, Todd Dawalt breaks down why most contractors spend too much time talking about their company and not enough time talking about what the client actually wants. He shares a four-step sales framework for getting prospects to make faster decisions, stop hiding their budget, and see you as the obvious choice. Todd walks through how to uncover the desired end result, identify the risks and obstacles standing in the way, position yourself as the path of least resistance, and introduce the investment only after the value is fully established. If you've been winging the sales process and wondering why deals keep stalling out, this episode gives you a repeatable framework you can put to work right away.
