There's a simple phrase that holds incredible weight: Keep showing up. A real-life illustration of this shows up every season as I work in our yard. When our fruit trees are bearing fruit and are ready, I show up consistently to check them. If I don't, either birds, squirrels and even racoons or bears will help themselves to a bounty of fruit with the result of a huge mess as it's usually half-eaten and rotting.  The same principle applies to showing up for our business and personal lives. In a culture obsessed with quick wins, instant gratification, and viral success, the steady act of continuing to show up can feel… well, boring. Unnoticed. Undervalued. But if you've ever achieved anything meaningful—built a career, written a book, trained for a race, raised a child or even made jam from fresh fruit—you already know the truth: Success isn't just about talent, timing, or luck. It's about consistency. It's about returning to the task, the dream, the commitment—over and over again.

We've seen this movie before. US President Donald Trump is talking up a ceasefire initiative, only for the killing to continue in Gaza; killing that is relentless and off-the-scales ever since the rollout of a US-Israeli aid delivery scheme that bypasses traditional international agencies.  We ask about Trump's claim that Israel has agreed to his 60-day truce and the reaction of a Hamas that's down but not completely out. We also ask what's changed since Benjamin Netanyahu walked away in March from a phased agreement that was to lead to a permanent ceasefire and the release of the remaining hostages. For starters: Israel's 12-day war with Iran, where it was the US president who told Netanyahu to declare victory and go home. Will Trump twist the Israeli leader's arm again when Netanyahu travels to Washington next week? All bets are off: will it be the Trump who gushes about a Gaza Riviera construction scheme that kicks out Palestinians, or the one who forces Netanyahu's hand by announcing Iran negotiations or recognising Syria's government? More broadly, when is enough enough? Produced by François Picard, Rebecca Gnignati, Aurore Laborie, Ilayda Habip and Yann Pusztai.

Megan Lanford is a travel points coach and host of the Points to Paradise podcast, where she teaches people how to turn credit card points into dream vacations. Once only able to afford a single trip a year, Megan now takes over six trips annually, saving more than $20,000 a year on travel. She's passionate about helping others unlock luxury travel experiences—like first-class flights and five-star resorts—without breaking the bank. Megan's expertise lies in demystifying the world of credit card points, making it accessible for families, entrepreneurs, and anyone eager to travel more for less. On this episode we talk about: – Megan's journey from wildlife biologist to travel points expert and entrepreneur – The biggest mistakes people make with credit card points—and how to avoid them – The secret to maximizing points value by using transfer partners instead of travel portals – How to book luxury hotels and first-class flights for a fraction of the usual cost – Practical strategies for families and business owners to travel more often, for less – Building an online business as a stay-at-home parent and turning expertise into income Top 3 Takeaways 1. Transfer Points for Maximum Value: Don't use your credit card's default travel portal—transfer your points to airline and hotel partners to get 2-3x more value and unlock luxury experiences. 2. Plan Ahead and Be Strategic: The earlier you plan, the better your chances of scoring first-class flights and top-tier hotel upgrades with points. 3. Turn Knowledge into Income: If people are always asking you for advice, there's a business opportunity—start by sharing your knowledge online and build products around your audience's needs. Notable Quotes “The biggest mistake I see people make is booking through the bank's travel portal—you lose out on so much value. Transfer your points to partners and you can 2 to 3x what they're worth.” “Every single time I've emailed a hotel manager before a trip to ask for something special, we've gotten an upgrade—sometimes to rooms worth $1,200 a night.” “Most students in my course book their first vacation on points within three months—and then they never pay full price for travel again.” Connect with Megan Lanford: https://www.instagram.com/pointtoparadise/ DM “travel” on Instagram for a free cheat sheet of transfer partners

In recent years there has been a growing need for transparency within sustainable action taken by businesses. This is due to the rampant increase in greenwashing, which only serves to diminish the focus on genuine efforts, in addition to creating a culture of mistrust within stakeholders and consumers. To combat this, certain organisations have taken on the task of encouraging and supporting the accurate public disclosure of environmental data. Such is the case with today's focus, the Carbon Disclosure Project (CDP). In this episode Mel Blackmore discusses what the Carbon Disclosure Project is, what is required to earn an A rating, provides some tips on how to get that A rating and explains the pros and cons with getting involved with the project.    You'll learn ·      What is the Carbon Disclosure Project? ·      What are the requirements to achieve an A rating? ·      Top tips for earning an A rating in the CDP ·      What are the advantages of earning a CDP rating? ·      What are the disadvantages of getting involved with the CDP?   Resources ·      Carbon Disclosure Project ·      Carbonology ·      Contribute to Mel's carbon verification commitment research by taking her Survey   In this episode, we talk about: [02:05] Episode Summary – Mel discusses the Carbon Disclosure project, including what's involved with taking part, how to achieve an A rating and the pros and cons of the project.    [03:00] Why is there a need for the CDP? An increased number of investors and financial institutions, in addition to clients are demanding more than just financial reports. They want to know what a company's environmental footprint is, and at this point, it's time to move on beyond simply making pledges. Ultimately, key stakeholders are looking for a commitment to sustainability and for accessible information to help them understand how an organisation is managing its climate risks and opportunities. This is where CDP comes in. A key component of getting the coveted A rating within CDP involves independent verification of greenhouse gas emissions. [04:45] What is the Carbon Disclosure Project? CDP is a global non-profit that runs the world's leading environmental disclosure system. For over two decades, it has revolutionized how companies, cities, states, and regions report their environmental impacts. They ask thousands of organizations to disclose data on climate change, water security, and deforestation. This data is then used by investors, purchasers, and policymakers to make informed decisions. The CDP questionnaire covers a wide range of topics, from governance and strategy to risk management, targets, and of course, greenhouse gas emissions. Companies receive a score from D- to A based on the completeness of their reporting, their level of awareness of environmental issues, their management of those issues, and ultimately, their leadership in addressing them. [05:40] We want to hear from you: Mel is currently running some research around CDP and the key drivers behind carbon emission verification, and would appreciate your feedback if you have a few minutes to spare. The results are completely anonymous, and it should only take 5 – 10 minutes. You can take the survey here. Thank you in advance to any contributors! [09:10] What is required to achieve an A Rating? – There are a number of key requirements, including:- 1.    Comprehensive Disclosure and Data Quality: This is foundational. You need to provide accurate and complete data across all relevant sections of the CDP questionnaire. This includes detailed information on your Scope 1, Scope 2, and increasingly, your Scope 3 GHG emissions. 2.    Strong Governance and Strategy: CDP looks for clear evidence that environmental issues are integrated into your company's core business strategy and that there's robust board and management oversight of climate-related matters. This means having a defined climate strategy, understanding your climate-related risks and opportunities, and demonstrating how you're incorporating these into your financial planning. 3.    Verified Data: To truly hit that "A" list, your Scope 1 and Scope 2 GHG emissions, and a significant portion of your Scope 3, must be independently verified. This isn't just a suggestion; it's an essential criterion for the leadership level. Independent verification provides crucial assurance to stakeholders that your reported emissions data is accurate, reliable, and trustworthy. It also minimises the risk of “Greenwashing”. 4.    Science-Based Targets and a Robust Climate Transition Plan: CDP is increasingly emphasizing the need for companies to set ambitious, science-based targets for emissions reductions, aligned with a 1.5°C global warming scenario. In addition, having a publicly available, credible climate transition plan that outlines how you will achieve these targets, including specific actions, metrics, and progress tracking mechanisms, is now a must for "A" list companies. 5.    Value Chain Engagement: For many companies, the most significant emissions lie within their supply chain. To achieve an "A" rating, you'll need to demonstrate robust engagement with your suppliers to measure and reduce their emissions, and address environmental impacts across your entire value chain. 6.    Continuous Improvement and Transparency: The "A" rating isn't a one-off achievement. It reflects a commitment to continuous improvement in your environmental performance and a willingness to be transparent about your journey, including challenges and successes. [15:05] Top tips for achieving a CDP A Rating:- Tip 1: Plan Ahead and Start Early. CDP reporting is an annual cycle, and it's complex. Don't wait until the last minute! Start gathering your data, assessing your internal processes, and identifying any gaps well in advance. This includes planning for your verification process. Tip 2: Invest in Robust Data Management Systems. Accurate and comprehensive data collection is paramount. Consider leveraging sustainability software that can help you track, calculate, and manage your GHG emissions data efficiently. This reduces manual errors and streamlines the reporting process. Tip 3: Understand the Verification Process. This is where an accredited verification body, like Carbonology, becomes invaluable. Verification Bodies work to an internationally recognized standard, typically ISO 14064-3, to ensure the accuracy and reliability of your GHG emissions data. The process involves: ·      Defining the scope: What emissions are being verified? ·      Data review: Examining your underlying data, methodologies, and calculations. ·      Site visits (where applicable): Physically verifying operational data. ·      Report generation: Providing an assurance statement on the accuracy of your emissions. Tip 4: Engage with a CDP-Accredited Verification Body. CDP specifically requires third-party verification from an independent external organization that is accredited and competent. Look for bodies with proven experience and accreditation to international standards like ISO 14064. They can guide you through the process, identify areas for improvement, and ensure your data meets the stringent requirements for leadership points. Tip 5: Conduct a Gap Analysis. Before you even begin your disclosure, perform a thorough gap assessment against the latest CDP questionnaire and essential criteria. This will highlight areas where your current disclosures fall short and allow you to address them proactively. Tip 6: Focus on Quality over Quantity. While comprehensive disclosure is important, ensure the quality and accuracy of your data. It's better to provide high-quality, verified data for a focused set of emissions than to report broadly with unverified or unreliable numbers. Tip 7: Train Your Team. Ensure your internal team understands the CDP requirements and best practices for sustainability reporting and data collection. Building internal capacity is essential for maintaining high-quality disclosures year after year. [20:35] The pros of voluntary disclosures: Enhanced Reputation and Brand Value: Disclosing and performing well on platforms like CDP showcases your commitment to environmental responsibility. This can significantly boost your reputation among customers, employees, and the wider public, attracting conscious consumers and talent. Risk Management and Resilience: The disclosure process forces companies to identify and assess their environmental risks – from climate change impacts to resource scarcity. This proactive approach allows for better risk mitigation strategies, building greater business resilience. Cost Savings and Operational Efficiency: The process of measuring and managing environmental impacts often reveals opportunities for greater efficiency, such as reduced energy consumption, waste reduction, and optimized resource use, leading to tangible cost savings. Competitive Advantage: Being a leader in environmental transparency can differentiate your company in the marketplace, especially as sustainability becomes a key consideration for clients and supply chain partners. Competitive Advantage: Being a leader in environmental transparency can differentiate your company in the marketplace, especially as sustainability becomes a key consideration for clients and supply chain partners. Preparation for Future Regulation: Voluntary disclosure puts you ahead of the curve. As environmental regulations become increasingly stringent globally, companies with established reporting mechanisms will be better prepared to meet mandatory requirements. Innovation and Strategic Planning: The disclosure process encourages long-term strategic planning around environmental impact, driving innovation in products, services, and processes. Benchmarking and Peer Learning: CDP provides a framework for measuring and tracking your performance over time and allows you to benchmark yourself against industry peers, identifying areas for improvement and learning from best practices. [14:15] The cons of voluntary disclosures?: Resource Intensive: Comprehensive ESG reporting, especially to the level required for an "A" rating, can be costly and time-consuming, particularly for smaller companies with limited resources. It requires dedicated personnel, data collection, and often external consulting or verification services. Risk of Greenwashing: If disclosure isn't backed by genuine action and verified data, there's a significant risk of "greenwashing" – providing a misleading impression of your sustainability efforts. This can lead to reputational damage, loss of trust, and even legal scrutiny if claims are found to be unsubstantiated. This is precisely why independent verification is so crucial. Lack of Accountability (without verification): Without external verification or assurance, the reliability and accuracy of self-reported data can be questioned, diminishing the value and trustworthiness of the disclosure. This is a major concern for investors who demand the same robustness for non-financial data as they do for financial data. Potential for Negative Public Scrutiny: Once you disclose, your data is public. This means your environmental performance, or lack thereof, can be scrutinized by activists, media, and the public. Companies must be prepared to address any critical feedback. If you'd like any assistance with carbon verification, get in touch with Carbonology, they'd be happy to help!

Key Takeaways: Keep Track of Everything, Every Month Just like you'd check your grades or allowance, businesses need to look at their money each month—and review bigger things every few months to plan for taxes. Save Up and Spread Out Businesses should keep at least six months' worth of money ready for bills and emergencies. Also, don't depend on just one customer—having many keeps your business safer and more appealing to future buyers. Make It Work Without You If a business can only run when one person (like the owner) is there, it's harder to sell. The more your business runs on systems and a team, the more valuable it becomes. Plan Ahead to Avoid Surprises If you look at your money and taxes often, you won't get hit with big surprises. You can make better decisions about what to spend, save, or invest in. Structure It Smart Setting up your business the right way (with help from a lawyer) can protect what you own and make selling the business easier down the road.

What Stoicism Teaches About Legendary Living and Lasting ResilienceIn this episode, I dive deep into the transformative world of Stoicism.

I also share a range of modern resources, book recommendations, and even personal anecdotes about how Stoicism's principles have helped him embrace adversity, build discipline, and focus on what truly matters.Whether you're new to Stoicism or looking to deepen your understanding, this episode is your invitation to learn, grow, and transform.

Welcome to the Sustainable Clinical Medicine Podcast! In today's episode, Dr. Sarah Smith tackles a challenge every clinician knows all too well—the dreaded backlog. Whether its unfinished charts, lab results waiting for review, or paperwork accumulated from a busy week, backlog is that persistent weight that follows us home and keeps us up at night. Dr. Smith gets real about the emotional toll backlog can take, from the shame and overwhelm to the constant struggle to find time amidst ever-increasing clinical demands.

Tune in and discover how to turn backlog from an endless chore into a manageable—and even occasionally satisfying—part of your clinical routine. Here are 3 key takeaways from this episode: Plan Ahead for Backlog: Don't wait for the “right moment”—schedule dedicated sessions to tackle backlog and decide ahead of time what you'll work on first. Use Bonus Time Wisely: Take advantage of unexpected lulls or no-shows by knowing in advance which quick tasks you can clear off your list in those smaller pockets of time. Celebrate Small Wins: Set a clear end time for backlog work, then acknowledge your progress—even if you only get a few tasks done. Being kind to yourself is crucial for sustainability.

Spending tends to decrease in retirement, but it isn't always predictable. To prepare, you must develop plans to manage both essential and nonessential expenses. Join us as we discuss how thoughtful spending plans can lead to a more satisfying retirement.

Here are some key strategies to help you plan ahead, manage stress, and respond with patience instead of snapping at your loved ones: Why We Get Snippy & How to Prevent It Lack of Time = Lack of Patience – When we're rushed, our tolerance drops. Planning ahead creates space for calmer interactions. Stress & Overload – When our mental/emotional load is too heavy, small things set us off. Managing stress proactively prevents snippy reactions. Not Meeting Our Own Needs – When we're tired, hungry, or overstimulated, we're more likely to react negatively. How to Plan Ahead to Avoid Being Snippy Buffer Time in Your Schedule – Give yourself 5-10 extra minutes before key transitions (leaving the house, dinnertime, bedtime routines) to prevent feeling rushed. Set a “Reset” Ritual – Before engaging with your family or team, take 30 seconds to breathe deeply, reset your mood, and remind yourself of how you want to show up. Identify Your Triggers – Notice when you're most likely to snap (e.g., right after work, during morning chaos) and create a strategy for those moments (deep breaths, stepping away, music, or hydration). Pre-Communicate Expectations – Set clear expectations with your family/team about transitions or tasks to avoid last-minute stress (e.g., “We're leaving in 10 minutes” vs. “Hurry up, we're late!”). Use “I'm About To Be Snippy” Signals – Recognize when frustration is rising and call it out before reacting: “I need a second,” or “I feel overwhelmed, let's pause.” Plan for Self-Care Daily – Even 5 minutes of alone time, movement, or quiet time makes a difference in emotional regulation. Create a Stress-Reducing Environment – A calm home or workspace (organized, decluttered, good lighting) reduces external stress triggers. Sleep, Food, Water Check-In – Low blood sugar or exhaustion makes snippy responses more likely. Prioritize good sleep, hydration, and balanced meals. Practice the 3-Second Rule – Before responding snippily, take three seconds to pause, breathe, and choose a response that aligns with your best self. Quick Fixes in the Moment The Smile Reset – Physically smiling (even if forced) can shift your mood. Walk Away Before You Snap – Give yourself 60 seconds to reset. Turn Snippy into Funny – If you feel irritation rising, flip it into humor instead of frustration. I hope this episode helps you to reframe your approach to stressful interactions so you can respond as the best version of yourself.  Have an awesome day!

Send us a textEmpty nest syndrome is real, and can be very painful to navigate. I've already discussed it with Susie, including ideas for how we can manage our feelings in a positive way to help us move on. https://www.teenagersuntangled.com/empty-nest-how-to-cope-when-your-teen-moves-out-also-manners-what-are-they-and-what-should-we-te/But are we looking at it in the wrong way? Change management specialist, Hanna Bankier, hates the term empty nest because it has such negative connotations. 'How can the nest be empty if I'm still in it?'She encourages us mothers to take a pro-active approach to that next stage of life by planning ahead from as early as when our kids turn tween and teen. In this discussion, Hanna helps us think differently about this life stage, explains the key mistakes we make and which areas need focus, and how to plan for the nest stage of our life in a really positive, life-affirming way.Hanna's top five tips:Start early: Begin preparing for this transition during your child's teenage years by gradually shifting your parenting style from hands-on to mentorship.Create a personal plan: Map out your own identity and interests beyond motherhood. Use Hannah's exercise of drawing a circle with your name in the center and identifying activities that energize you.Build a supportive community: Cultivate female friendships and join groups or activities that interest you. These connections are crucial for emotional support and personal growth.Communicate openly with your child: Have honest conversations about how your relationship will evolve, setting expectations and creating a new dynamic as they become independent adults.Embrace the joy of this new chapter: Recognize that this is not an ending, but a new beginning. Celebrate your success in raising an independent child and look forward to the opportunities ahead for both of you.The key is to view this transition as a positive opportunity for personal growth and rediscovery, rather than a loss.Free tool:https://www.birdylauncher.com/freeofferHanna Bankier:https://www.birdylauncher.com/To check out the experiences JENZA offers, visit: www.jenza.comThe JENZA Travel Group consists of heritage and dedicated Summer Camp USA brand BUNAC, Irish youth work and travel brand, USIT, and youth-led work and travel brand JENZA.

There are times when you run out of time. When the time crunch hits, how do you consistently publish your podcast each week? I RAN OUT OF TIME My calendar got tight this week. Recording and publishing this episode became a challenge. I typically record my podcast on Saturdays. On Tuesday we have our Podcast Profits Accelerator calls. Most of my coaching calls are on Thursdays. This week, we suddenly had visitors coming to town. Then, I had some last minute travel come up. Next thing I know, I'm running out of time to get everything done. It takes creativity when you run out of time. We moved the Podcast Profits Accelerator call to Thursday. My mastermind changed to Saturday. Luckily, one of my clients moved a couple days as well. Those moves freed up time time to get business done. But what happens with the podcast episode? I still need to publish that. When you run out of time, there are a few ways to still publish an episode. WHO CAN HELP The first thing you can do is find someone who can help you. I recently read The Road Less Stupid by Keith J. Cunningham. In the book, Cunningham talks about being more productive by doing only the things in your circle of genius. Delegate everything else. YOUR PRESENTATIONS To create an episode, what content can you repurpose? Presentations you've given to other groups can make good content. Gary Vaynerchuk often uses his keynote speeches for podcast episodes. Alex Hormozi will use recordings of his q&a sessions for episodes. I've done "ask me anything" sessions on Facebook and used those as podcast episodes. SUMMIT INTERVIEWS When you run out of time, summit interviews make great podcast content. I hold two summits each year. During that summit, I interview 23 different experts. Those interviews become podcast episodes. People can attend the summit and get all of the content plus ask questions. Or they can wait while the content drips out over time. With nearly two dozen interviews, I have almost half a year of content to use as necessary. PLAN AHEAD Planning ahead helps you avoid running out of time. Work a week ahead. When you run out of time, you already have the episode recorded for this week. Get ahead of the game. You can also record an emergency episode. This is an evergreen episode you use in case you have nothing else. GUEST HOST One solution few consider when they run out of time is a guest host. Find another expert in your niche who complements what you do. Ask them to host your episode this week. You can also share an episode from other podcast to expose their show to your audience. You would simply record an intro and explain. OTHER INTERVIEWS Have you been interviewed on other podcasts? You can use those interviews when you run out of time. You've shared great content with other hosts. Surely your audience would benefit from those conversations. Use one of those interviews as an episode of your show. PICK ONE Those are six solutions you can use when you run out of time and can't find room in the schedule to record a new episode.   If you don't have a mentor who can take your hand and walk you every step of the way, go to www.PodcastTalentCoach.com/apply, click the button and apply to have a chat with me. We will develop your plan and see how I can help and support you to achieve your podcast goals.

On this solo episode of The Next Level Health & Fitness Podcast, I dive into the fine line between balance and discipline in your fitness and nutrition journey. While balance is essential for enjoying life—like saying yes to the occasional dessert or night out with friends—too much flexibility can derail fat-loss goals.
