Podcasts about Planning

Kathy challenges the common belief that "I'm just not a planner person." She explains why using a planner and actually planning are two completely different skills, and why so many retailers unfairly grade themselves on the wrong one. Kathy digs into why repeating the same decisions year after year quietly drains mental energy, shares a real coaching story about a shop owner who moved five stalled projects forward in one sitting, and offers one simple question that can save you from remaking the same decisions over and over: what decision do I keep making that I only need to make once?  For show notes, including links to the documentary and resources I mentioned in this episode, visit SavvyShopkeeper.com/episode283 Kathy Cruz is an Independent Retail Coach who helps store owners work smarter, profit more, and grow their brick and mortar businesses.

Humans are finally being invited into Monstropolis at Disney's Hollywood Studios! In this episode of Castle Talk Radio, Becca and Jessica explore the new Monsters, Inc.-themed land coming to Walt Disney World. Rather than simply recreating scenes from the movies, Disney is building an entire city where guests will visit as human tourists during H.U.M.A.N. Day. We discuss: • Why humans are now welcome in Monstropolis • What H.U.M.A.N. Day means • The suspended door-vault coaster and its first-of-its-kind vertical lift • Why the coaster will not be ready when parts of the land open in 2027 • “Welcome to Monstropolis,” featuring a new song by Randy Newman • The Glob Theater show starring Mike and Sulley • Harryhausen's Restaurant and its Audio-Animatronics sushi chef • Archie's Scare Pig Pizza and the Monsters University Alumni Club • Shopping at the Scareporium • The bittersweet reality of Monstropolis replacing the former Muppets area • Why this could transform how families plan their Disney's Hollywood Studios days Monstropolis is shaping up to be much more than a new attraction. Disney is creating a city filled with restaurants, businesses, entertainment, hidden details, and plenty of reasons to slow down and explore.

Not your whole curriculum, not every prep, and not the entire school year mapped out before September. For middle and high school teachers managing multiple preps, that smaller target can feel almost too simple. It can also be the first target that gives planning a real finish line. This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast takes on the question sitting behind every multi-prep teacher's work: what can one unit actually solve when you still have four preps waiting? The honest answer is that one unit won't magically plan every course. It can give you proof that a repeatable planning process works, and that proof matters more than one beautiful lesson plan.The common mistake is treating every course like a separate creation project. With three, four, or five courses, each class can begin to feel like its own world. The activity structure that worked in engineering may seem useless in CAD. A routine from an introductory course may appear impossible to transfer to an advanced one. A planning approach that helped in one prep can feel as though it has to be reinvented for the next. Before long, every unit starts from zero. That's the part that makes planning relentless. The work isn't only the volume of lessons, materials, and decisions. It's the constant rebuilding of how to plan whenever the content changes. Teacher time management starts with one strong unit because that unit can interrupt the cycle of starting over.The better way is to separate content from the process used to make planning decisions. Content changes from course to course, but the way you decide what students are working toward, what materials are usable, and what still needs attention can travel. The Introduce, Practice, Produce structure is presented as a structure that can work in a CTE course, an elective, a mixed-level class, or a singleton course nobody else in the school has taught. The Ready Enough SORT, reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, wait, gives you a way to examine the materials in front of you without assuming everything must be built from scratch. These are planning decisions you can carry into another unit, even when the topic and course change.That transfer is the point. After one unit, the next planning session doesn't begin with an empty page. You have a structure to put materials into. You have a framework for deciding what you already have. You have a finish line you've reached before. This is what makes teacher time management starts with one strong unit more than a catchy episode title. The first unit serves as evidence. It shows that planning can move through an order instead of scattering across every possible task. The next time you sit down with a different unit in the same course, or with a completely different course, the content may be unfamiliar, but the planning process doesn't have to be.The decision-making gets faster because you've practiced it, not because you're rushing. The first time you sort materials through reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, and wait, you're learning the framework while applying it. The second time is faster. By the third time, the framework can begin to feel like the way you naturally think about planning. That progression is especially important for multiple prep teachers because a planning process can't depend on having endless time to make every choice from scratch. “Ready enough” becomes something you can identify rather than a finish line that keeps moving. You know what questions to ask, the order to ask them in, and what enough looks like for the unit in front of you.There's an emotional shift here, too. Multiple prep teachers often carry the feeling that they're always behind, always underprepared, or always one unit away from feeling okay. A clear process doesn't mean everything is finished. It means the decision that needed to be made has been made, while the rest can wait. That distinction changes the work. The materials don't necessarily change. The way you look at them does. In the episode, teachers who once said, “I need to create everything,” began saying, “I already have this, I can adapt this, this can wait.” That is the move from planning as a creation project to planning as a series of decisions.One specific moment captures the shift. A teacher can look at a unit and initially see a long list of things to invent: lessons, slides, activities, and documents. The process asks that teacher to slow down and sort the work instead. What is the unit trying to accomplish? What are students working toward? What materials already exist? What needs adapting? What genuinely needs creating? What can wait? When those questions have answers, the unit is ready enough to teach. It may not be perfect, completely polished, or arranged in a perfectly organized Google Drive. The deliverable is the decision. Teacher time management starts with one strong unit when you stop measuring progress by how finished the files look and start measuring it by whether the important planning decisions are clear.This episode is for middle and high school teachers juggling multiple preps, especially teachers who feel every new course demands an entirely new system. It's for the teacher with four preps who hears “focus on one unit” and immediately thinks, “I still have four preps.” It's for the teacher who has collected materials but can't decide what to reuse, adapt, create, find, decide, or postpone. It's also for the teacher who has tried programs that felt bigger, more general, or less practical than expected. The Unit Planning Lab is named as the place to bring one unit, work through the planning decisions in order, and leave with something ready enough to teach and a process to repeat. All content is available as soon as you join, with the link in the show notes.You don't need to plan everything this summer. Build one unit well, with a clear process underneath it, and let that unit prove that planning doesn't have to be hard in the same way every time. The next unit can be lighter because you're no longer starting from scratch. The one after that can be lighter still. That doesn't promise that teaching becomes easy. It means planning becomes more manageable when you work with intention instead of treating every course as a brand-new creation project. For teacher time management starts with one strong unit, finish something that makes tomorrow lighter.Plan less from zero. Teach with more room to breathe.

After Sometimes Ben shares an exciting update about the DAPPER DADS APP (what?!!), the four of us *try* to make some plans for our trip in January. 

Tennis-ball-sized hail, 100-degree heat, and a weather warning that caused us to miss the glamping trip we'd been looking forward to for weeks.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Matt Pivarnik, a community development leader with nearly 27 years of experience across destination development, destination stewardship, tourism marketing, economic development, and legislative success. Drawing on his work in Tulsa, Topeka, and now Myrtle Beach, Matt shares why he sees tourism as an important part of broader community and economic development. We discuss the power of trust and collaboration, the organizational model taking shape in Myrtle Beach, and why communities need to balance the immediate demands of tourism marketing with long-term investments in their people, infrastructure, and future. What You Will Learn in This Episode: How tourism-related economic development can broaden the way communities think about tourism and destination development Why trust, collaboration, and putting community interests ahead of organizational egos are essential to successful communities How Myrtle Beach is creating a collaborative structure that allows distinct organizations to work alongside one another Why sharing services, resources, and expertise can help community organizations operate more effectively How destinations can balance the pressure for immediate visitation with long-term investments in tourism product and community development What Matt and his colleagues learned from listening to residents as they developed the Collaborate 2031 community strategy Why clear governance and financial "fences" are important for accountability and responsible stewardship of public dollars From Destination Marketing to Community Development Matt describes his career as a journey through the many interconnected pieces of community development. While destination marketing is an important part of the work, he believes the industry is increasingly recognizing the connection between tourism, economic development, destination development, and community stewardship. He shares his excitement about the emerging idea of "tourism-related economic development" and what it means to think intentionally about attracting attractions, assets, investment, and opportunities that strengthen a community.  That broader perspective also changes how Matt thinks about destination competitiveness. In Myrtle Beach, the beach is an extraordinary asset, but he points to the historic communities, cultural experiences, restaurants, waterways, and other distinctive places that surround it. Creating a compelling destination isn't only about promoting the most recognizable attraction. It is about understanding what makes a community unique and finding ways to tell the larger story.  Building Collaboration Without Losing Organizational Identity A significant part of the conversation focuses on the collaborative model developing in Myrtle Beach. Matt explains how having multiple organizations working toward economic and community development can create confusion when their roles aren't clearly defined. Rather than putting one organization "under" another, he believes organizations are more effective when they operate alongside one another, maintaining their individual responsibilities while sharing resources and working toward common goals.  That approach creates opportunities to share services such as finance, human resources, IT, data, and office space while preserving the autonomy of each organization. Matt also emphasizes that collaboration requires more than a new organizational chart. It requires trust and a willingness to set aside egos. He reflects on his experience in Topeka, where organizational leaders ultimately focused less on protecting individual entities and more on asking what was best for the community and its economy. That shift opened the door to deeper collaboration and a more effective way of working together.  Planning for the Community's Future Myrtle Beach's rapid growth makes long-term thinking especially important. Matt describes the challenge of balancing the need to generate visitation today with the responsibility to invest in the destination's product, infrastructure, and quality of life for the future. With significant growth in both tourism and the resident population, the community is increasingly focused on understanding resident sentiment and making sure the people who live there have a voice in shaping what comes next.  That thinking is at the heart of Collaborate 2031, a five-year, community-wide strategy shaped through conversations with residents, focus groups, and stakeholders across the county's 15 communities. Matt explains why the plan is intentionally focused on measurable progress rather than simply creating a long-range vision or using the strategy as a fundraising exercise. Once priorities are established, the goal is to determine which organizations are best positioned to take responsibility and then ensure they have the resources necessary to follow through. For Matt, the ultimate measure of successful collaboration is simple: communities where development organizations work together are better positioned to move their economies forward, while communities where those organizations compete with one another risk falling behind.  Resources: Website: greatermyrtlebeachcollaborative.com(opens in new tab) LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisfairresonance/

https://teachhoops.com/ Are These Three Mistakes Quietly Wasting Your Practice Time? The common habits that eat reps, energy, and player attention Most wasted practice time comes from a handful of repeatable errors, and almost every coach makes at least one of them. Coach Collins names the three biggest offenders and gives a fix for each. Mistake 1: Talking too much Long explanations kill reps. Teach in short bursts, get them playing, then correct on the fly. If you're talking for two minutes, you've already lost half the gym. Mistake 2: Standing in lines Too many players waiting, too few moving. Break into small groups, use multiple baskets, and choose drills that keep every player active. Mistake 3: No score, no standard, no consequence Work without a winner turns into going through the motions. Put a score, a time limit, or a target number on almost everything. Also covered Planning practice on paper with time stamps, then actually honoring the clock Closing every segment with one clear teaching point Evaluating practice by reps and energy rather than by how much you said Coaching point Judge your practice by what your players did, not by what you explained. Try this week Have someone time how long you talk during one practice. The number usually surprises people. https://teachhoops.com/ TitleSubtitleShow Notes Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of the Cornelius Seed Podcast, District Sales Manager Luke Davis shares what he's seeing in northeast Iowa as late-season disease pressure ramps up, including tar spot, southern rust, crown rot in corn, and SDS in soybeans, with some northern corn leaf blight also present. They discuss how recent weather set the stage, why fungicide decisions were made around tassel despite limited early symptoms, and why late applications now are mostly case-by-case and often not cost-effective unless crop is later or harvest is delayed. Davis emphasizes scouting and taking notes for future planning, prioritizing harvest on fields with stalk/crown rot risk, doing pinch tests for stalk integrity, and identifying soybean diseases like SDS vs brown stem rot. He also notes a split-planter observation of less crown rot with Pivot Bio G3 and highlights Victrato seed treatment (stacked with Profit Guard Plus) and variety selection as key SDS management tools. 00:34 Podcast Intro and Goals00:59 Field Disease Snapshot01:38 Weather and Fungicide Timing04:07 Late Season Spray Decisions05:54 Harvest Priority and Stalk Rots07:01 Biologicals Trial Results08:33 Fungicide ROI Next Year09:51 Soybean SDS Reality Check11:07 SDS Management Tools13:59 Scout Now Plan Ahead15:43 Wrap Up and Thanks

In this Simple CFO Case Files episode, David Richter and his business partner Christina Gutierrez unpack why "knowledge is power" hits different once you're staring at a live financial dashboard. The title comes from a real client who told David that the phrase never made more sense than the moment he sat in front of his numbers and realized he was telling them what to do, not the other way around.David and Christina walk through the tools they run inside their own business, EOS for operations and Profit First for cash, plus the custom dashboard Christina built that pulls live from QuickBooks every morning. But the bigger point is that a dashboard alone isn't enough. Real power comes from pairing the numbers with a financial partner who translates them and makes you feel safe asking the naive question. If your numbers overwhelm you, this one is for you.Timeline Summary[0:23] – Where the title comes from: a client who felt in control of his numbers for the first time[1:15] – The tools Simple CFO runs internally: EOS from Traction and Profit First[2:05] – Why David, as visionary, needs numbers he can actually understand, not raw QuickBooks[2:49] – Pulling up an up-to-date dashboard while Christina was on vacation[3:36] – How Christina and Andrew built the dashboard to pull automatically from QuickBooks[4:26] – Why QuickBooks Online is the best integration and updates every morning at 5 a.m.[5:02] – The budget-to-actual view and the plea to actually follow the budget you make[5:39] – How seeing budget versus actual in real time drives faster, better decisions[6:25] – Why a good dashboard gives an owner the confidence to ask better questions[7:02] – Reframing the "B word" budget as simply a plan for your money[7:25] – Planning for real estate closings that get pushed back, as they always do[9:38] – Why CPAs often make numbers too complicated and clients need a translator[10:33] – David's own naive-question moment with a CPA in his early 20s[11:01] – A CFO as a safe place to talk about scary numbers and ask what's the plan[11:37] – Why a dashboard paired with someone who makes you feel safe is real magic[13:47] – Christina's addition: it's not just knowledge, it's communication and relationships[15:06] – The sticky-note habit: reach out to your CFO before big decisions, not after[15:48] – Why owners shouldn't feel inferior for not knowing all the financial terminology5 Key TakeawaysKnowledge Puts You In Control — When you can see your own numbers clearly, you stop being told what to do by your finances and start directing them. That shift is the whole point of a good dashboard.A Dashboard Must Be Understandable — Raw QuickBooks makes most owners' eyes glaze over. The value is in a view that pulls the numbers together automatically and presents them in plain terms you can read anytime.Make A Budget And Actually Follow It — A budget is just a plan for your money. Checking budget versus actual in real time is what lets you decide on the spot whether you have room for an opportunity.Numbers Need A Translator — CPAs often speak in a language owners don't follow. A CFO's job is to translate the numbers and be a safe place to ask questions without feeling judged.Reach Out Before Big Decisions — The most value comes from calling your financial partner before a big move, not after you've made a mess to clean up. Knowledge plus communication is the real power.Links & ResourcesSimple CFO — https://simplecfo.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing Free Workbooks — https://pfreiworkbook.comProfit First for Real Estate Investing by David Richter — https://profitfirstrei.comTraction by Gino Wickman (EOS) — https://www.eosworldwide.comEnjoyed This Episode?If David and Christina made you realize your numbers overwhelm you because no one's ever translated them, that's a fixable problem.

Planning on buying or selling a property? We welcome back real estate pro's Alexander Monticello and Renata Lewis to answer your questions. Ray Graf hosts.

Planning for your child's future can feel like trying to make financial decisions about a life that hasn't happened yet. Will they go to college? Choose a trade? Stay close to home? Go out of state? What will it cost? How much should you pay? And how do you save for their future while still paying down debt, preparing for retirement, and taking care of everything your family needs today? Those unanswered questions can make it tempting to wait until you have a clearer plan. Mary Ann and Bereket Kelile explore a different approach: start with what you value, think about the future you're trying to support, and then let the numbers help you determine what's actually possible. That may mean funding part of an education rather than all of it, balancing college savings with retirement, considering different educational paths, or creating enough flexibility that the money can still serve your child when their plans inevitably change. They also discuss 529 plans, brokerage accounts, scholarships, Roth IRAs, planning for multiple children, and why parents don't have to carry 100% of the cost themselves. But underneath all of those choices is a much simpler principle: you don't need every answer before you begin. A small amount saved consistently today gives you something that waiting for the perfect plan never will—time.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of The Beyond Condition Podcast, Sarah Parker shares her first experience attending a Pure Elite competition as a coach, alongside long-term client Dee, who competed in the Transformation category.What does it really take to step onto a bodybuilding stage when you've already overcome some of the biggest challenges of your life?Dee's journey is about far more than physique transformation. Having overcome drug and alcohol dependency, she took her fitness journey to the next level, through finding The Beyond Condition Podcast and began a journey that eventually led her to bodybuilding. After a previous prep was postponed following a health scare, Sarah made the decision to prioritise Dee's wellbeing and wait until 2026 - proving that sometimes the best coaching decision is knowing when not to compete.At Pure Elite, Dee entered the Transformation category, where competitors not only showcase their physical transformation but also share their personal story through a projected image and narration. For Sarah, this created a powerful reminder of what bodybuilding and fitness can represent beyond placings and trophies.The episode also takes listeners behind the scenes of three very different bodybuilding competitions - an IFBB Pro Qualifier in Denmark, an NPA Natural show and Pure Elite - comparing backstage environments, coach involvement, athlete support and the very different experiences competitors can have depending on their federation and circumstances.Sarah also discusses one of her core coaching principles: stay in your lane. Knowing your experience, being honest with your athletes and understanding when you need to learn or refer someone elsewhere are essential parts of being a good coach.And once the competition is over, what should you actually eat?Sarah shares her approach to post-show nutrition and recovery, including why rehydration should come first, why planning your post-show meal matters and why athletes often regret feeling pressured to immediately eat everything in sight.In this episode, we explore:• Dee's incredible transformation journey • Overcoming addiction and discovering bodybuilding • Why Sarah postponed Dee's previous competition prep • The Pure Elite Transformation category • Why transformation is about more than a placing • Sarah's first Pure Elite experience as a coach • Comparing three very different competition environments • IFBB Pro Qualifier experiences • Natural bodybuilding competition backstage dynamics • Coach presence and athlete support backstage • Why coaches need to "stay in their lane" • Being honest about your experience as a coach • Why coaches should support rather than compete against each other • Managing realistic expectations around competition placings • Why coaches can't guarantee results • Supporting anxious athletes on show day • Post-show hydration and nutrition • Why you shouldn't feel pressured to binge immediately after competing • Planning your post-show meal in advance • The difference between finishing a season and preparing for another showA competition isn't just about the trophy.Sometimes it's about proving to yourself that you're capable of doing something you once believed was impossible.And sometimes the biggest win happens long before you ever step on stage.This is bodybuilding beyond the condition.Watch the episode here: https://youtu.be/DNlQ4pN4T6YFind Sarah on Instagram: @sarahparker_bbTHE ULTIMATE SHOW DAY GUIDE E-BOOK: Purchase hereBeyond Condition Coaching Application: Click here

Starting college can change almost everything about your routine, including how, when, and what you eat. For students using ketogenic therapy as part of their mental health treatment, that transition can take some planning.In this interview, Dr. Bret Scher speaks with licensed mental health counselor Nicole Laurent about how students using ketogenic therapy with clinical support can navigate a college setting, where dining halls, dorm rooms, busy schedules, social events, and limited budgets can all affect food choices.Nicole shares practical ideas for:Keeping simple foods that support nutritional ketosis in a dorm roomMaking dining hall options workPlanning ahead for busy weeksUsing meal prep or delivery services strategicallyTalking with roommates and friends about dietary choicesAsking for support when staying consistent gets difficultThey also talk about the importance of paying attention to food quality. For students who are not using ketogenic therapy, reducing ultra-processed foods and eating more whole foods may still be a meaningful place to start.If ketogenic therapy is part of a student's mental health care plan, the transition to college may require some adjustments. Planning ahead, building a support system, and working with an experienced care team can help students stay consistent as their routines and environment change.If you're using ketogenic therapy for a psychiatric condition, work closely with an experienced healthcare provider before making treatment changes.

Long-term care coverage is an essential, yet often misunderstood, aspect of retirement planning in the United States. Although many people will require some form of long-term care as they age, most are unprepared for the high costs and limited coverage options available. On the show this week, I'm debunking common myths like the notion that Medicare will fully cover all long-term care costs and taking a deep dive into the four main ways retirees can pay for these expenses.    You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in... 00:00 Understanding the options for long-term care help 03:10 The difference between Medicare and Medicaid 05:07 Spouse asset protection options 09:15 Understanding hybrid policy benefits 13:24 Hybrid vs. traditional long-term care 19:25 Long-term care insurance application process   Understanding Medicare's Limitations There is often a misconception that Medicare covers long-term care. In reality, it's split into two primary parts: Part A, which covers some costs for hospital stays, and Part B, which addresses preventative care such as doctor visits and certain procedures. While Medicare may pay for medically necessary hospital stays—such as those following an injury like a broken hip—it stops covering the costs when ongoing care is no longer deemed medically necessary. Extended or custodial care, where you need help with daily living activities but do not require intensive medical treatment, is not included under standard Medicare coverage. This leaves retirees exposed to significant out-of-pocket expenses once hospital-based care ends.   The Four Main Options for Long-Term Care Coverage There are four primary payment strategies for long-term care. Each option has its benefits and limitations, and selecting the right one depends heavily on individual circumstances.   1. Medicaid Medicaid is a needs-based program designed for individuals with low income and limited assets. To qualify, applicants must pass specific income and asset thresholds, which, for single individuals, often means owning less than $2,000 in assets. Married couples have more leeway—the "community spouse" can usually retain a higher amount of assets and income. Medicaid planning may involve establishing a qualified income trust or transferring assets into an irrevocable trust. It is important to note that most states enforce a five-year look-back period for asset transfers, meaning that gifts or transfers must occur at least five years before the Medicaid application to be effective.   2. Self-Insuring Self-insuring is also an option, which involves setting aside personal assets, such as retirement savings or home equity, to pay for potential care needs. This method offers autonomy but carries risk, especially given the high and regionally variable costs of care. Depending on where you live, full-time nursing care can average over $15,000 per month, and home care or assisted living can still cost tens of thousands of dollars per year. Planning ahead is critical, particularly for couples, to ensure one spouse's care does not financially imperil the other.   3. Hybrid Long-Term Care Policies Hybrid long-term care insurance policies have emerged that combine life insurance with long-term care coverage. These products provide either long-term care benefits or a death benefit to your estate, ensuring that money paid into the policy is not "lost" if long-term care is never needed. Hybrid policies tend to offer flexible payout options and the potential for locked-in premiums, but they may provide less coverage per premium dollar when compared to traditional policies.   4. Traditional Long-Term Care Insurance Traditional long-term care insurance remains an option for those prioritizing higher benefit payouts. While these policies can stretch benefit pools further, they don't usually offer death benefits, and their premiums are not guaranteed—they can increase over time and may eventually become unaffordable. Underwriting is also stringent: many applicants over 70 are denied coverage, and certain medical conditions result in automatic disqualification. Making the Right Choice for You and Your Family You need to balance protecting personal assets, securing a spouse's future, and managing premium costs. Retirees should honestly assess their health, financial circumstances, and family situation. Consulting a financial advisor or insurance professional can help tailor a long-term care strategy that minimizes risk while supporting a comfortable and dignified retirement. Planning now, rather than later, ensures you are prepared for whatever the future may bring—and that you and your loved ones have peace of mind.   Resources Mentioned Retirement Readiness Review Subscribe to the Retire with Ryan YouTube Channel Download my entire book for FREE    Connect With Morrissey Wealth Management  www.MorrisseyWealthManagement.com/contact Subscribe to Retire With Ryan

This episode of The Secondary Teacher Podcast makes the case for knowing when to stop planning, especially when every new unit feels like the first unit you've ever planned. You may know your content well, care deeply about your students, and still find yourself rebuilding everything from zero before you feel allowed to teach it.The usual standard for a “planned” unit is impossible to satisfy. Every lesson must be complete. Every resource must be created. Every example must be found. Every possible classroom decision must be made ahead of time. That version of planning never ends because there's always something else to add, improve, or prepare. The more you care, the more missing pieces you can see. That doesn't mean you're disorganized or failing. It means thorough teachers need a finish line that actually exists.The better standard is ready enough. Ready enough means you know what you're introducing and how you'll introduce it. You know how students will practice. You know what students are working toward producing. The structure is settled, even when every detail isn't predetermined. That's the point of knowing when to stop planning. You're not declaring the unit perfect. You're deciding that you know enough to teach it well and make the next decision when better information becomes available.This matters even more in a secondary classroom, where multiple preps can make every planning session feel like a negotiation with the clock. Starting with produce gives you a useful filter. First, identify what students are going to make, do, demonstrate, explain, design, or perform. Then ask whether the introduce phase gives students what they need to begin and whether the practice phase builds the skills they'll need. If a decision doesn't affect that path before day one, it may not belong on today's planning list.A major source of planning overwhelm is trying to predict what can only be learned through teaching. You might plan a practice structure, but you can't know in advance whether students will need to do it once, twice, or three times. You may need to watch the first round before deciding what happens next. Students might be ready to move on. A misconception might need attention. The class might need another round of practice. That isn't incomplete planning. That's teaching. Spending hours deciding before you have the evidence isn't preparation anymore. It's prediction.The episode also challenges the habit of collecting every engaging example ahead of time. One summer, the speaker spent significant time searching for movie clips to connect with future units. The goal was to find relevant examples before they were needed, but most of the clips didn't quite fit because the search happened without classroom context. Later, while watching a movie with a child, a moment on screen immediately stood out as exactly the example needed for the next day. The connection was easier to recognize because the learning was happening right then and the need was clear.That story changes what being prepared can mean. Stopping your planning doesn't mean you stop noticing useful ideas. It means you stop demanding that every possible good idea be found before a unit can be called ready. A little space can make you more responsive to what's actually happening in the room. It can also leave room for a connection to appear while you're living your life, watching a movie, driving to school, or doing something unrelated to teaching. Not every valuable classroom idea has to be manufactured during a Sunday planning session.This episode is for middle and high school teachers who keep extending the work because “finished” always moves farther away. It's for the teacher with several courses to prepare, the teacher who knows the content but keeps second-guessing the plan, and the teacher who wants effective classroom routines without turning every unit into a complete production before students arrive. The conversation offers practical teacher tips for deciding what must be settled now, what can wait until students begin practicing, and what may not need to happen at all.Before closing the laptop, replace “Is this completely finished?” with a more useful question: “Do I know enough to teach this well and make the next decision when I have better information?” That question protects your standards while giving planning a boundary. A ready unit has a direction, a way for students to get there, and enough structure to begin. It doesn't need every possible example, resource, or decision. Ready enough is a professional judgment call, not what happens after you run out of energy.If you want to work through the process with an actual unit, the episode points listeners to the Unit Planning Lab. Inside, the work centers on clarifying your produce, mapping the flow, sorting what you already have, and deciding what ready enough looks like for that unit before you walk into the classroom. The goal is a process that can travel across courses, preps, and content areas, including the courses that seem to have nothing in common. One well-built unit can give you more than something to teach. It can give you a repeatable way to decide, prepare, and stop.Stop planning like the finish line is allowed to run away.

Join us as Gary and Matt Fernando share all about a very special family vacation aboard the Disney Destiny. This four-night sailing out of Fort Lauderdale marked the first time Gary, Matt, and their parents had all cruised together, and there was plenty to celebrate. Gary, Matt, and their dad were each celebrating milestone birthdays of 40, 45, and 75. Their wives joined them for the trip, along with Matt's young daughter, making this a true family celebration. This was also Matt's first Disney Cruise, and he shares his impressions of the Destiny and the experience of cruising with Disney for the first time. Before the ship even set sail, the family took advantage of the open house at the kids clubs, which gives parents and families a chance to explore the spaces together. Matt was so impressed with the clubs that he jokes he was the one who did not want to leave. Gary and Matt talk about the many activities available onboard and how they spent their time during the four-night cruise. Gary had purchased a spa package that included access to the Rainforest Room, while Matt found plenty to explore throughout the ship. They also discuss the pirates and villains theming found throughout the Destiny and some of the details that make the ship unique. Of course, food is always an important part of a Disney Cruise, and Gary and Matt share their experiences with the restaurants, room service, drinks, and other dining options onboard. One particular favorite was the Mickey Churro Waffles at breakfast, which earned enthusiastic reviews from both of them. When the ship arrived in Nassau, Gary and his wife headed to Blue Lagoon Island for a dolphin encounter experience. Gary shares what the excursion was like and some of the highlights from their day. Later in the episode, Gary and Matt also talk about their visit to Castaway Cay and how each of them chose to spend their time on Disney's private island. There was also an important mission aboard the Destiny. Gary and Matt were second in line when the ship's stores opened, determined to track down the elusive Evie the Towel Animal Plush. Despite their excellent position in line and their best efforts, Evie did not make the trip home with them. Matt also talks about the value of purchasing the onboard photo package and highly recommends it for families who want to make sure those special moments from their cruise are captured. Whether you have already sailed with Disney or are thinking about taking your first Disney Cruise, Gary and Matt pack this episode with stories, experiences, and plenty of useful information from their family celebration aboard the Disney Destiny.

I am team planning. I am team house systems. We teach it in the membership and it is the very first thing we tackle in the Catholic Mom Reset, because looking at your next 90 days and making a plan is genuinely a gift to your future self. But if you took all of it away tomorrow, dropped me in a different house in a different town with no idea what the next 90 days held, I would be okay. I could walk around and have peace. That is the part I want for you. A lot of women tell me they are type A planners. There is a healthy version of that. There is also a version that gets built in a childhood full of chaos you could not control, or in a home where performing well was how you got love and attention. Both of those grow up into a woman who plans beautifully, and one of them is holding on with an iron grip. This episode is how to tell which one you are running on, the five minute healing work that sets the grip down, and the sentence I said to a mom on a coaching call that changed her whole face.   WHAT WE COVER IN THIS EPISODE: Why the plan is not what makes you feel calm (you make a plan, then you think "I have a plan," and the thought is what creates safety in your body) The two childhoods that produce a hyper-planner: chaos you had no control over, and love you had to earn by performing The difference between planning that feels light and playful and planning you believe you cannot survive without Abraham walking up the mountain and the Israelites who never got the itinerary, and what peace looked like for both Tolerating uncertainty is a capacity you can grow, the same way a kid grows from 37 seconds to a minute and a half underwater The five minute memory work I use, sitting in the theater with the Lord while He tells you the truth about what really happened What I told the mom who was afraid that moving every two years would rob her kids of roots and stability EPISODE TIMELINE: [00:00] – Why I wanted to do this episode, and why I am solidly team planning and team systems [05:00] – All brains hate uncertainty, the AI conversation nobody can predict, and the skill we can actually grow [10:00] – Your body feels your thinking, not your plan. The Israelites, and Abraham on the mountain [15:00] – The car breaks down. The husband's job might move you. How to answer your own brain [20:00] – Chaos versus performance, the grounded healthy version of you, and asking the Lord what we are doing today [25:00] – Bob Schuchts, inner child work, and revisiting a memory with Jesus in five minutes [30:00] – "You are their mom.

In this episode, Diana and Nicole discuss Phase 5, Part 3 of the search for Cynthia (Dillard) Royston's biological father. They review the known facts about Cynthia's life using census, tax, and estate records, as well as death certificates of her children. Diana presents her hypothesis focusing on three Dillard men who drew lots in the 1832 Gold Lottery in Cass County, Georgia: James Dillard, Joseph B. Dillard, and Roliver Dillard. She explains how they previously eliminated thirteen other Dillard candidates. They also explain how DNA evidence identifies Elijah Dillard as Cynthia's probable biological brother, which helps narrow down their shared father's location in Georgia by 1814. The hosts outline their prioritized research strategy, dividing it into documentary research and DNA analysis. For documentary evidence, they plan to survey online trees, analyze censuses, search probate records, and look through Georgia newspapers. For DNA, they focus on using Ancestry Pro Tools, analyzing network graphs, and finding the most recent common ancestor through custom clustering. Listeners will learn how to build a methodical research plan that keeps research focused. They will also learn how to write a hypothesis, prioritize a wide range of source records, and combine traditional paper trails with DNA tools to overcome tough genealogical brick walls.

Mahesh Rajasekharan of Cleo talks about what they do; data & visibility challenges; the evolution of supply chain orchestration; & their new Executive Report.  IN THIS EPISODE WE DISCUSS: [02.38] What excites Mahesh about transformation, why he calls Cleo a 'neo-startup', and how he has shaped their mission and growth strategy. "I've always been attracted to transformation opportunities… Cleo had great technology, loyal customers and an important market position. But it also had enormous untapped potential." [04.47] Who Cleo is, what they do, and what it means to orchestrate a supply chain, as opposed to simply integrating it. "Visibility tells you what happened, but orchestration is what helps you decide what to do about it. It's going from systems of record to systems of action." [06.29] The problem with historic working siloes, and how orchestration forces collaboration and a customer-first approach. "Often, planning has all the context but cannot execute. Execution systems can execute, but don't have enough context. The ability to bridge the co-ordination gap can unlock significant value – and every participant in the supply chain is responsible." [10.34] Cleo's north star – 'to make global supply chains better' – and the big turning points that have defined their evolution. [13.47] The ideal client for Cleo, how that profile has changed over the course of their evolution, and why supply chain has to become a revenue driver. [21.14] Why Cleo conduct an annual Global Supply Chain Executive Report, and the most surprising findings from 2026. [23.52] With 88% of organizations increasing their use of automation, yet 55% reporting increased operational complexity as a result, a closer look at exactly what's driving that disconnect. [25.43] Why only 16% of organizations say they have true end-to-end, real-time visibility across their supply chain, despite visibility being a critical goal for over a decade. "Supply chains have become true ecosystems, not enterprises… So the data an organization needs oftentimes sits outside its four walls." [29.46] As leaders become increasingly comfortable with AI-based recommendations but still struggle to trust the underlying data, where companies should actually focus if they want AI to deliver real value. "The two most important things are context and governance… You can't get to a data 'holy grail', but if you can establish a superior context, then you can execute." [35.10] How organizations can improve their data context and trust more quickly. [39.13] How companies can streamline order processing with Cleo to course correct problems, improve on-time and in-full performance, boost speed, reduce cost, and enhance customer relationships. [44.20] How sitting on the boards of Cleo, Ascend Software, and Banyan Software helps Mahesh understand the wider market and develop Cleo's own strategy moving forward. "It really makes you understand how universally challenging operational complexity has become… And it provides a strong perspective on what separates companies that successfully transform from those that struggle."

The U.S. national debt has crossed $40 trillion — but what does that actually mean for everyday Americans? In this episode of Dollars & Sense, Joel Garris and Zach Keister of Nelson Financial Planning break down the headlines in plain English and explain why the debt conversation is important, but not necessarily a reason to panic.They also discuss one of the most common retirement planning questions: How much can you really spend in retirement without running out of money? From the well-known 4% rule to more flexible retirement income strategies, Joel and Zach explain why retirement spending should be personalized, adaptable, and based on real life — not just a single percentage.Finally, they introduce the concept of a Financial Death Box: a centralized place to organize important documents, account information, insurance policies, passwords, and instructions for loved ones. While the name may sound intimidating, this simple planning tool can be one of the most thoughtful gifts you leave your family.In this episode, we discuss:What America's $40 trillion debt milestone meansWhy debt-to-GDP mattersHow national debt can affect interest rates, taxes, and future planningThe 4% rule and why retirement withdrawal rates should be flexibleWhy many retirees may spend less as they ageHow to organize a Financial Death BoxWhy planning ahead can create confidence for you and your familyWhether you're preparing for retirement, thinking about your financial plan, or simply trying to make sense of today's headlines, this episode offers practical perspective and actionable takeaways.

What does becoming a master-level coach actually involve, and is the gap between where you are today and coaching mastery as large as it can sometimes feel? In this episode, we explore the journey towards master-level coaching and why accreditation is about far more than accumulating coaching hours. Whether you are an experienced coach considering your next accreditation or at the beginning of your coaching journey, understanding the pathway early can help you make intentional decisions about your professional development. We explore three important areas that contribute to coaching mastery: professional maturity, reflective practice and contribution to the profession. Contribution can take many forms, including volunteering with professional bodies, sharing learning, publishing, research, supervision, participating in professional groups or creating resources that help other coaches. The important distinction is that genuine contribution extends beyond promoting our individual coaching businesses and demonstrates an ongoing commitment to strengthening the wider profession. Professional maturity is also about far more than time served. Different accrediting bodies have different requirements around experience, coaching hours and training, but mastery also involves developing a distinctive professional identity, learning to work with complexity, navigating ethical dilemmas and integrating our learning so that we are no longer dependent on individual coaching models. Our CPD choices gradually tell the story of who we are becoming as coaches and the areas in which we are choosing to deepen our practice. Finally, we look at reflective practice and the value of building strong habits long before an accreditation application is due. Coaching logs, reflective diaries, supervision and peer reflection all help us understand how our practice is evolving. We also encourage coaches who aspire to mastery to spend time with master-level practitioners. The differences between coaching levels can be subtle yet significant, and the journey becomes far less intimidating when we see mastery not as an unreachable destination, but as the cumulative result of thoughtful development, reflection, experience and contribution over time. Timestamps 00:09 What does master-level coaching mean? 00:48 Three elements of the pathway to mastery 02:46 Why contribution to the profession should start early 03:56 Different ways coaches can contribute 05:35 Contribution versus promotion 07:23 Coaching supervision as professional contribution 09:00 How supervision can open new opportunities 09:58 Publishing, volunteering and professional bodies 12:00 Planning for mastery before you need accreditation 13:15 Different accreditation requirements 13:42 Developing a distinctive professional identity 15:01 Ethical maturity and experience 16:31 CPD and the story of your coaching development 18:26 Consistency and reflective practice 19:32 Keeping coaching logs and recorded reflections 21:33 Supervision and advanced coach development 22:11 Final reflections and resources Key Lessons Learned Master-level coaching is not purely about accumulating coaching hours. Professional maturity, reflective practice and contribution to the profession are all important parts of the journey. Coaches benefit from understanding the requirements of their chosen accrediting body well before they are ready to apply. Contribution to the profession should be genuine, sustained and broader than marketing an individual coaching business. Volunteering, publishing, research, professional groups and supervision can all provide ways to contribute. Coaching supervision can deepen reflective practice while also creating opportunities to support the development of other coaches. Professional maturity includes developing a distinctive coaching identity and becoming increasingly comfortable working with complexity. Ethical maturity develops through experience, reflection and navigating challenging situations. CPD is more powerful when it shows consistent curiosity and development over time rather than becoming a last-minute accreditation exercise. Regular coaching logs and reflective records make future accreditation considerably easier. Spending time with master-level coaches can make the pathway feel more tangible and achievable. Accreditation Note The episode discusses examples of requirements from professional coaching bodies, including the EMCC and ICF, as they were understood at the time of recording. Accreditation pathways and requirements can change, so coaches should check the current criteria directly with their chosen professional body before planning or submitting an application.

Conway says he got a sign from his dad last night. 8:20 — Pumpkin spice fatigue has arrived and matcha is taking the season. Starbucks says there are more than 170,000 ways to customize a drink; outside estimates put the total combinations somewhere around 300 billion.

Eight low-income units, no parking, inside an LAFD fire zone. Planning commissioners approved most of the variances and said state housing law ties their hands. Neighbors say they'll fight it the whole way. Which leads to a bigger question about why everyone seems to be throwing down lately. 8:50 — Staying in the Valley: residents fed up with a sidewalk leak that will not stop running.

Labor day is next weekend, what projects will you be tackling? I'm sharing 4 steps to complete projects during these long weekends. Get ready to start planning what you will be doing next weekend.  It's Really Only One Extra Day You are really only getting one extra day, not a long weekend. Because you still have the normal tasks you do each weekend. Once you understand how much actual time you have then you can start to manipulate it. And a plan will help you to maximize your high energy times of the day. If I'm being generous, this long weekend will realistically result in 12 hours of time to complete projects. 4 Steps to Planning Your Long Weekend So the first thing you need to do is make a list. Start at your front door, walk through your house, and write down all the things you would do around your house if you were going to put it on the market next week.  I always encourage painting projects because historically paint is on sale for Labor Day. I'll be doing yard work and garage work as I shared in this episode to see how I am applying these 4 steps in my planning.  Then narrow down that list to what you will actually try to accomplish Labor Day weekend. Two stars next to the thing that you want to complete no matter what and one star next to the next thing you would like to accomplish. Simultaneously as you narrow down your list you will start making decisions. You may realize you need to clear out your car to transport something and you can decide where the things in your car, currently, will go so you can do this project. You will decide the colors you want to paint before you go to the store to buy it. Or maybe you need to ask someone else some questions to complete the project. Because I am looking at yard and garage work I am also considering the time of day and when it will be hot. Now that you have narrowed down the list and mentally prepped for the projects, you need to get the supplies you will need. Don't wait till the long weekend hits to get the supplies. You will use your high energy times at the store and take away time from completing the project. And lastly, eliminate normal weekend tasks. When I think about my yard work and garage work I want to get done Labor Day weekend, I think about my laundry and food related responsibilities.  I will plan pizza for Friday night as I watch Grayson play in the kiddie pool while I pick up sticks and weeds from the yard. We will use paper plates this weekend, what planned neglect can you implore? I will start my laundry Thursday night so I am not trying to switch the laundry on Saturday with my dirty hands from yard work.  I want you to even think about your Sunday Basket time.  This weekend maybe you can do double work to reduce your Sunday Basket time Labor Day weekend.  These four steps help you to realize the time you actually have. Reduce responsibilities eating up this extra day that you want for a project.  And reduce friction on project day. Plan your time and maximize your capacity.  EPISODE RESOURCES: The Sunday Basket® Labor Day Checklist Sign Up for the Organize 365® Newsletter  Did you enjoy this episode?
