In this snack-sized conversation, Ophira Eisenberg talks with author and newly certified parenting coach Kerri Smith-Maher about how years of teaching writing, her daughter's struggles, her own sobriety journey, and a crash course in perimenopause all pushed her toward parent coaching. Kerri explains how a psychologist friend steered her away from graduate school and toward certification at the Jai Institute, where she dove into nervous system science, attachment theory, and the iceberg model of behavior. She shares why Dr. Becky Kennedy's Good Inside is her go-to recommendation, how a family DBT course helped them decode behavior “under the surface,” and why the real breakthrough in her house came when she learned to regulate herself instead of rushing to fix her daughter's reactions. Kerri also describes how Tara Brach's Radical Acceptance finally taught her to “pause” by practicing it during calm moments—helped along by an iPhone alarm labeled “pause” three times a day. The episode ends with Kerri revealing that her best creative work happens only after caffeine, dog-walking, and a strict morning writing window, a habit she built during her daughter's three-morning-a-week nursery school era.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Justin Bieber has kept the spotlight buzzing over the past week with a flurry of public appearances in New York City alongside Hailey Bieber. The pair were seen together at a Lakers versus Knicks game in Madison Square Garden and were later photographed sharing an intimate dinner at The Corner Store before enjoying a date night at the IPIC movie theater. According to Us Weekly and People, Justin appears “happier than he's been in a long time,” prioritizing comfort and authenticity in public, even if it means leaving the spa shirtless and unfazed by public scrutiny. Despite skipping the 2025 Grammy Awards for the second year in a row, sources emphasize that Justin and Hailey's marriage remains solid, with strong mutual support and a focus on maintaining their privacy amid relentless public attention.Professionally, the most significant news is Justin's exit from his previous fashion venture, Drew House. He made headlines by announcing on Instagram that he is no longer associated with the brand, stating, “Drew House does not reflect me, my family, or my life.” While the Instagram story was quickly deleted, speculation arose about his reasons. However, GQ and India Today confirm Justin has since turned his creative ambitions toward a new fashion label called SKYLRK. Launched in July, SKYLRK is a collaborative project with Hailey actively participating in streetwear design and creative direction. She describes the process as “super fun and collaborative,” and Justin reportedly maintains full creative control, working closely with Pink Dolphin co-founder Neima Khaila. The couple have hinted at inspiration drawn from their family life, including their now 15-month-old son, Jack Blues, who remains largely out of the spotlight as they continue to balance public careers with parental privacy.Business headlines have reignited debate over Justin's financial situation, particularly after the explosive May 2025 TMZ special and reports in People that he sold his entire song catalog for $200 million to Hipgnosis. The documentary alleges the sale was prompted by looming financial collapse—claims that Justin's representatives declined to comment on. Further, his musical royalties have now become part of tokenized IP assets on platforms like Aria Protocol, integrating his catalog into crypto-financial markets, a move widely viewed as innovative but also symbolic of larger shifts in artist revenue streams.Standing amid ongoing health rumors, various outlets like IMDb and Celebrating The Soaps have cast a spotlight on his frail appearance at recent events, prompting concern among fans and speculation about his well-being. Friends and Hailey reportedly remain very supportive, while sources underscore that Justin is prioritizing self-care, creative fulfillment, and time with family. On social media, both Biebers continue to uplift one another, with Justin expressing immense pride over Hailey's recent success: her skincare brand Rhode was acquired for $1 billion by e.l.f. Beauty—a landmark deal Hailey says Justin “witnessed from the very beginning.”In sports news, the couple's joint appearance cheering on the Toronto Blue Jays during the World Series reignited his Canadian pride and further showcased their united public front. In sum, while questions linger about Justin's health and finances, his focus appears squarely on creative ventures, marriage, and fatherhood, with major moves in both fashion and music IP setting the stage for an evolving public narrative.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

The political battle over the Jeffrey Epstein Files just reached a stunning climax.

Have you ever wondered how some people keep standing even when life seems determined to knock them flat? That question lingered with me as I spoke with Dave Munson, the founder and CEO of Saddleback Leather Co., whose journey is marked by sharp turns, risk-taking, loss, grit, faith, and a remarkable ability to get back up again. This conversation reminded me that the path to becoming unshakable is rarely smooth. It is formed through moments that challenge our identity, stretch our resolve, and reveal what we truly rely on when everything around us feels uncertain. Dave brought stories that moved from the deserts of Mexico to the busy floors of his factory, from being a young volunteer teacher dreaming up a rugged bag to building a global brand rooted in people-first values. He talks openly about the setbacks that shaped him, including financial loss, near closures, a cartel theft of an entire truckload of products, and the intense pressure of keeping a business alive during COVID when travel bags suddenly fell to the very bottom of consumer demand. What struck me was his response each time. He chose gratitude, service, and faith as his grounding tools. He decided to stand up quicker with each hit instead of staying down. The heart of this episode unfolds as Dave shares how compassion has shaped his leadership. From standing beside employees during personal crises to hiring people who are often overlooked in society, he paints a picture of leadership that meets people where they are and walks with them. He also speaks candidly about his own process of unlearning, particularly the need to relinquish self-reliance and trust others to grow alongside him. His story is full of uncomfortable growth, unexpected blessings, and a willingness to pivot when the world shifts beneath his feet. It made me reflect on what anchors each of us and how we choose to rise. As you listen, consider your own sense of grounding. What helps you get back up when life hits you in ways you never saw coming? And if something Dave shared resonates with you, I would love to know your thoughts. What part of this conversation helps you reflect on your own journey toward becoming unshakable?

Strategy beats panic when work changes this fast. We sit down with Karla Eidem, North American Regional Managing Director at the Project Management Institute, to explore how HR can turn AI disruption into a springboard for skills, execution, and meaningful outcomes. From facts over fear to practical, lightweight tools, we walk through the moves that help teams adapt with less noise and more impact.Karla breaks down the PMI Talent Triangle—power skills, ways of working, and business acumen—and shows why these capabilities now matter across every HR function. We dig into skills-based hiring, internal mobility, and creating early-career on-ramps when routine tasks are automated. If you've ever run a “meeting for everyone with no one accountable,” you'll get immediate value from simple project tools like a team register, a sharp charter, and a clear cadence that turns ambition into action.We also tackle the tough questions about AI: where it helps, where it can't, and how HR should evaluate tools to truly capture value. Karla shares field stories, including leading a COVID-19 vaccine rollout, to illustrate how project management provides structure in ambiguity. Plus, we highlight insights from her SHRM session and extend an invitation to stay connected with PMI's global community through year-round learning and networking, including the annual PMI Global Summit.If you're ready to shift from operations to strategic leadership, this conversation offers a practical playbook.

Most entrepreneurs eventually feel the pull to pivot, but that shift can come with real risk. You've worked hard to build trust, grow your audience, and establish your expertise in one lane. So when it's time to evolve, how do you shift your messaging without confusing your audience or breaking what's already working? This is the tension: stay in your lane too long and you stagnate. Jump too fast and you lose everything. So how do you navigate that transition with clarity and confidence?   In this week's episode, Kyle Reed sits down with Amy Porterfield, who's redefining her business after 16 years and over $120 million in course sales. Amy unpacks the subtle strategy behind a graceful pivot, how she knew it was time, how she tested new messaging, and why she's choosing coaching over courses in this next chapter. If you're craving a new direction but fear the fallout, this conversation will give you the roadmap.   Click HERE to sign up for Amy's weekly newsletter.     --     Click HERE to get in-person help creating your marketing at the next available StoryBrand Your Business LIVE event!   Click HERE to find a StoryBrand certified marketing coach to help you grow your business!   Unlock the power of a framework that works—the StoryBrand Framework at StoryBrand.ai.

In this episode, I chat with the wise and wonderful Brooke Schultz — photographer, educator, and creative force behind Heartful Magazine— for a deep dive into the art and evolution of a career in family photography.   Brooke Schultz is a Utah based family photographer + industry educator who helps family photographers create their own unique style instead of mimicking trends. She is the founder of the Love Soaked method for family photographers and her work has been featured by Oprah, Martha Stewart, Kodak, Rangefinder, Parents and more. Her work across mediums from podcasting to music to writing explores what it means to live a wildly creative life in art and everyday living through intention, fun, and ingenuity.   We go through so many topics in today's conversation, but Brooke generously shares how she first discovered lifestyle family photography, what it means to take messy action, and why naivete can be one of your greatest creative assets. We unpack what it means to develop a signature style, why your story and values must be part of your work, and how to balance serving clients with honoring your own artistic fulfillment.   If you've ever struggled with burnout, comparison, or feeling like your clients are running the show, this conversation will help you find your footing as both an artist and a leader. It weaves between practical and big-picture in the best of ways.

Ever lie awake at 11 PM wondering if you should just shut your business down? You're making money, clients seem happy, but internally you feel exhausted and disconnected from work that used to light you up.If that sounds familiar, this episode is for you.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down the difference between business failure and business evolution - and why confusing the two can lead you to walk away from something that just needs to shift.Sometimes what feels like failure is actually your business nudging you toward growth. The trick is learning how to tell the difference.Key Points Covered:✨ Why exhaustion makes you confuse temporary discomfort with permanent failure✨ The three reflection questions that reveal whether you need to quit or evolve✨ How to identify if your problem is emotional (burnout) or structural (offer misalignment)✨ The difference between craving rest versus needing reinvention✨ A real client story: from "I want to burn it down" to clarity and confidence✨ How evolution shows up as discomfort, disinterest, and sometimes irritation with work you used to loveThe Three Questions to Guide You:Do I still care about the impact of my work?Am I craving rest or reinvention?Is the problem emotional or structural?If you're sitting here unsure about whether to walk away or evolve what you're doing, that's exactly what I work through with my 1:1 clients inside of Expansion. The very first phase, Illuminate, is all about getting crystal clear on what you actually want - because you cannot make good decisions about your business when you don't know what you're building toward.Most of my clients come in thinking they need to completely start over. But after Illuminate, they realize they just need clarity on where they're going and permission to evolve.Send us a textThank you for being a part of the Soulpreneur Scaling Stories community!

n this episode of the Grow A Small Business Podcast, host Troy Trewin interviews Casey Berman, founder of Leave Law Behind Casey joins Troy to share his journey from a law career he found unfulfilling to building a thriving business helping lawyers transition into new careers. Starting with blogging in 2010, Casey turned his personal story into a coaching business, later scaling it with online courses. He and his business partner now run a lean, lifestyle-driven company with five team members, generating around half a million USD annually. Casey reflects on the importance of discipline, alignment, and emotional connection in entrepreneurship, while emphasizing the value of balance, automation, and continuous learning in sustaining growth. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Casey Berman, the hardest thing in growing a small business is feeling worthy of success. He explains that as the business starts making good money, many entrepreneurs struggle internally with questions about whether they deserve it or how success might change them. Casey admits he once worried about becoming greedy or losing his values but learned that money itself isn't the issue—it's the love of money that causes problems. Over time, he realized that maintaining generosity, reinvesting in the business, and focusing on helping others allowed him to embrace success without guilt. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Casey Berman's favorite business book that has helped him the most is The Million-Dollar, One-Person Business by Elaine Pofeldt. He found it inspiring because it showed that it's possible to build a lean, highly profitable business without a large team — something that aligns closely with how he runs Leave Law Behind. He also mentioned Rich Dad Poor Dad by Robert Kiyosaki as another influential read, especially early in his career, because it opened his eyes to the difference between being an employee and becoming an entrepreneur. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? Casey Berman recommends several great podcasts and online resources for small business growth, including the Work From The Inside Out podcast episode "Discover Your Unique Genius to Build Meaningful Work," where he shares how to align your strengths with meaningful entrepreneurship, and the Digital Marketing Success Stories episode with West Kraemer, where he discusses strategies for building a niche audience and online following. He also shares practical business insights on his own website, www.caseyberman.com, focusing on growth, purpose, mindset, and transitioning from employee to entrepreneur. These resources emphasize discovering your unique value, mastering marketing in your niche, and developing the mindset needed to confidently grow and sustain a successful small business. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? Casey Berman shared that the most crucial tool for growing a small business is a robust CRM platform, which he credits as the central nervous system for managing all customer interactions and streamlining operations. He specifically highlighted the value of a CRM with integrated texting capabilities, like Salesmate.io, for enabling effective and personalized outreach to clients. This system allows a business to consolidate contacts, automate key processes, and handle payments seamlessly from one unified hub. By implementing such a foundational tool, companies can achieve greater efficiency and scalability without needing a large team. Ultimately, he champions a powerful CRM as the key to systematizing sales and marketing for sustainable growth. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? Casey Berman would advise his day-one self that the entrepreneurial journey is an ongoing process of personal growth, not a destination to be reached. He would emphasize the critical importance of learning to enjoy the entire slog, with all its inherent ups and downs, rather than just chasing a future moment of "success." He'd stress that true happiness is found in the process of becoming your ideal self through the challenges of building a business. Finally, he would encourage himself to see and appreciate his own development, recognizing that the person behind the business is the most important project of all.

Multipolarity Dialogues is a series of interviews that scan the geopolitical horizon. We talk to some of the sharpest analysts, thinkers, and experts about how they see the world beyond the visible edge of the geopolitical now.The Middle East is as violent and fractious as ever. Now the questions that arise from that violence appear more important than ever. Israel seems to want to end the chaos in a way that provides it with military dominance over the region and some semblance of peace. But can it achieve this or even survive for much longer? Given the scale of enmity it faces in the region and the recent shifts in US domestic politics. What of Egypt, which has been since the Second World War, the dominant military power within the region? And are we seeing the reemergence of Turkey to its traditional place as regional hegemon? Well, to answer these questions we have Firas Modad joining us.Firas is a Druze Lebanese convert to Catholicism, who now lives and works in the UK. As founder and principle of Modad Geopolitics, a consultancy which provides commercially relevant analysis of the effect of geopolitical change on specific regions and industry sectors. Firas for some years now, has been a mainstay geopolitical commentator on the podcast circuit and indeed hosts his own podcast, Realpolitik, within the burgeoning Lotus Eaters ecosystem.

Before Smylie Kaufman and Charlie Hulme get to golf's biggest news of the past week - LIV Golf moving from 54 to 72 holes - we begin by detailing Smylie's brutal onset of “dad back” that left him crawling around the house. Charlie then recounts his cathartic return to golf at Hidden Creek - from a rain-soaked finish to a well-deserved steam shower. From there, the guys dig into LIV's move to 72-hole events: does it help majors performance, OWGR hopes, or brand identity? They hit fan reactions, Rory's take, player pathways, and why 72 holes might help some stars while blurring what made LIV different. In the back half of the episode, they tackle the DP World Tour dilemma: Rahm and Hatton's appeals, Ryder Cup eligibility, the PGA Tour partnership, TV product realities, and whether “home games,” nations, or mixed-gender teams could make team golf click.

Let's talk about where your business actually is — not where you wish it was. In this episode, I break down the four spots you might be in at the end of 2025 — collapsing, pivoting, staying the course, or scaling — and how each one demands a totally different plan for 2026. Whether you're in panic mode or growth mode, this one will give you instant clarity (and maybe a little peace of mind). DM me the word MRI on Instagram if you want the scorecard I mentioned.

The first step to transformation is to stop doing what no longer works." – Marcia Daszko On this episode of On the Brink with Andi Simon, I sat down with Marcia Daszko, a visionary leadership consultant and author of Pivot, Disrupt, Transform: How Leaders Beat the Odds and Survive. Marcia's journey—from being "excruciatingly shy" to mentoring leaders at Apple, Boeing, and the U.S. Navy—reveals a rare combination of courage, curiosity, and clarity. Her lessons, rooted in the teachings of Dr. W. Edwards Deming, challenge leaders to abandon outdated management practices and embrace a deeper, systems-based way of thinking. From Management Fads to Meaningful Leadership Marcia began her career in marketing before being mentored by Dr. Perry Gluckman, a close associate of Dr. Deming, who revolutionized management thinking through systems theory and continuous improvement. What she learned was not just what to do, but how to think. Too often, organizations chase the latest management fad—Six Sigma, Lean, "best practices"—without understanding the systems that create real success. Marcia calls these "tragedies" because they add complexity without meaning. She estimates that 50 to 80 percent of organizational waste comes from such misguided efforts. Her process begins with a bold question: "What do we need to stop doing?" Once leaders remove what's not working, they can open the flow of communication, creativity, and collaboration—what Marcia calls the "system of profound knowledge." When systems make sense, people thrive. Watch the podcast here: Learning to See Differently Like many of my guests, Marcia helps organizations "see, feel, and think" in new ways. She starts by asking questions that uncover hidden assumptions and systemic barriers. Employees usually know what's wrong, she says, but no one listens. When she leads workshops, she doesn't rely on PowerPoint slides. Instead, she creates experiences—conversations, simulations, and reflections—that shift perspectives. "I don't get resistance," she explains, "because the exercises take care of that." It's an anthropologist's insight wrapped in a strategist's toolkit: people don't change because they're told to—they change because they experience a new way of being together. The Strategic Compass for an Uncertain Future In today's world of disruption, Marcia argues that leaders don't need a roadmap—they need a compass. The future can't be predicted; it must be navigated through exploration, experimentation, and learning. Her Strategic Compass helps executives pivot as they encounter new "rivers and mountains" in their business landscape. Leadership, she reminds us, is not about control but curiosity. The most powerful organizations foster environments where everyone can learn, question, and contribute. Her three "legs of the stool" are: Innovation as a business strategy Continuous improvement as a business strategy Quality as a business strategy Sadly, she says, quality and customer service—once foundational to success—have too often been forgotten. Building a Culture of Trust and Curiosity Both Marcia and I share a passion for culture change. She emphasizes that great leaders reduce fear and build trust. When people feel safe, they can be curious and collaborative. It's not enough to post company values on a wall; leaders must define the behaviors that bring those values to life. Her workshops often transform even the most rigid workplaces. In one session, an employee of 15 years said it was the first time he had felt truly appreciated and engaged. That's the power of inclusion, curiosity, and respect in action. Leading in the Age of AI As we discussed the rise of artificial intelligence, Marcia was unequivocal: "If you're afraid of AI, you'll be left behind." She sees AI not as a threat but as a tool for learning and transformation. The challenge, she warns, is to build guardrails—policies and ethics that guide its use responsibly. In an age when consulting firms can generate proposals in minutes, leaders must rethink how people create value. The winners will be those who empower their teams to use new tools, think critically, and continuously learn. Key Takeaways Stop before you start. Identify and eliminate wasteful management practices that add complexity without results. Think in systems. Every part of your organization is interconnected. Problems are rarely isolated. Create flow. Open channels for communication, creativity, and collaboration. Replace fear with trust. People thrive when they feel safe to contribute. Stay curious. Learning is not a phase—it's a way of life. Use AI wisely. Embrace new tools, but balance innovation with ethical governance. What You Can Do Next Run a "Stop Doing" audit. Gather your team and list processes or habits that no longer serve your mission. Eliminate one per quarter. Host a curiosity circle. Ask open-ended questions like, "What assumptions are we making?" or "What would our customers say if they were in this room?" Map your system. Visualize how information, decisions, and accountability flow. Look for bottlenecks or blind spots. Pair technology with humanity. Use AI or analytics to inform—not replace—human judgment. Model the behavior you want to see. As Marcia says, leadership begins when everyone sees themselves as a leader. Marcia Daszko's work reminds us that transformation is not about new tools—it's about new thinking.
