This listener Q&A episode tackles the most common fasting challenges with evidence-based solutions, addressing Monica's self-sabotage pattern after reaching new low weights by explaining the body's three-pronged defense system (defend phase preventing further loss, restore phase increasing regain rate, and prevent phase reducing future weight loss probability) that creates powerful physiological resistance requiring equally comprehensive counter-strategies. The hosts reveal how metabolic adaptation activates during weight loss like a toddler throwing a tantrum, making the body fight harder at new weight thresholds, while providing practical "when-then planning" to manage the slippery slope of increased hunger and reduced willpower that emerges from dopamine deficits caused by sleep disruption and stress. They address Emily's two-week plateau after losing seven pounds initially with 20:4 fasting, explaining the critical distinction between water weight loss from glycogen depletion versus true fat loss, recommending the Blueprint to Fasting for Fat Loss resource and strategic window timing adjustments to restart momentum. Patty's wine consumption question during OMAD receives honest analysis of alcohol's metabolic priority over fat burning, sleep disruption effects reducing next-day metabolic efficiency, and dose-dependent impact on hormones especially for postmenopausal women, with recommendations to shift from daily to occasional consumption strategically timed for better recovery. The episode covers supplement timing during fasting windows (berberine, creatine recommended daily for consistency despite potential stomach sensitivity), addresses sleep disturbances from excessive 48-hour fasting during maintenance (recommending 24-36 hour alternatives to protect sleep quality over marginal metabolic gains), and explains post-meal walking benefits for glucose management through skeletal muscle uptake and improved insulin sensitivity, even when continuous glucose monitors show delayed rather than reduced spikes. Throughout, Scott and Tommy emphasize viewing fat loss and maintenance as a continuum rather than separate phases, building sustainable habits during weight loss that seamlessly transition to lifelong maintenance, positioning their upcoming pre-Thanksgiving seven-day challenge as strategically timed to establish momentum before the holiday season while reinforcing that successful fasting integration requires addressing foundational lifestyle factors of stress, sleep, food relationships, and mindset alongside fasting schedules. ⁠⁠⁠⁠Take the NEW FASTING PERSONA QUIZ! - The Key to Unlocking Sustainable Weight Loss With Fasting!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Resources and Downloads: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SIGN UP FOR THE DROP OF THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO BLOOD SUGAR CONTROL⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠GRAB THE OPTIMAL RANGES FOR LAB WORK HERE! - NEW RESOURCE! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠FREE RESOURCE - DOWNLOAD THE NEW BLUEPRINT TO FASTING FOR FAT LOSS!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠SLEEP GUIDE DIRECT DOWNLOAD⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠DOWNLOAD THE FASTING TRANSFORMATION JOURNAL HERE!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Partner Links: Get your⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ FREE BOX OF LMNT⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ hydration support for the perfect electrolyte balance for your fasting lifestyle with your first purchase⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Get ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠25% off a Keto-Mojo⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ blood glucose and ketone monitor (discount shown at checkout)! ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Click here!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Our Community: Let's continue the conversation.

Feeling trapped on the dental treadmill? That plateau between $1-2 million in practice revenue isn't just common—it's a critical crossroads in your ownership journey.Dental practice owners typically hit this wall after establishing their core team (usually two hygienists, two assistants, and two front desk staff), then find themselves unable to push beyond despite working harder clinically. The fundamental problem isn't your clinical skills or work ethic—it's that you've reached the ceiling of what one dentist can physically produce while simultaneously trying to run a business.I experienced this firsthand when my practice hit $1.8 million back in 2015. Despite efficient systems and block scheduling, growth seemed impossible without clinical burnout. I was constantly trying to squeeze in one more same-day patient while lacking the energy to handle the essential business responsibilities. The breakthrough came when I realized that most dentists don't actually own a business—they have a really good job. A true business continues generating revenue when you're not physically present, while most dental practices stop producing the moment the owner stops performing dentistry.Breaking through requires four transformative mindset shifts: transitioning from dentist to owner, building a leadership team, systematizing operations, and developing problem-solvers within your team. By implementing these changes, I was able to bring on my first associate, reduce my clinical schedule, and unlock unprecedented freedom—taking 18 weeks off last year while my practice continued thriving.The path beyond $2 million isn't about working harder; it's about working differently.

Sholto Douglas, a top AI researcher at Anthropic, discusses the breakthroughs behind Claude Sonnet 4.5—the world's leading coding model—and why we might be just 2-3 years from AI matching human-level performance on most computer-facing tasks.You'll discover why RL on language models suddenly started working in 2024, how agents maintain coherency across 30-hour coding sessions through self-correction and memory systems, and why the "bitter lesson" of scale keeps proving clever priors wrong.Sholto shares his path from top-50 world fencer to Google's Gemini team to Anthropic, explaining why great blog posts sometimes matter more than PhDs in AI research. He discusses the culture at big AI labs and why Anthropic is laser-focused on coding (it's the fastest path to both economic impact and AI-assisted AI research). Sholto also discusses how the training pipeline is still "held together by duct tape" with massive room to improve, and why every benchmark created shows continuous rapid progress with no plateau in sight.Bold predictions: individuals will soon manage teams of AI agents working 24/7, robotics is about to experience coding-level breakthroughs, and policymakers should urgently track AI progress on real economic tasks. A clear-eyed look at where AI stands today and where it's headed in the next few years.AnthropicWebsite - https://www.anthropic.comTwitter - https://x.com/AnthropicAISholto DouglasLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/sholtoTwitter - https://x.com/_sholtodouglasFIRSTMARKWebsite - https://firstmark.comTwitter - https://twitter.com/FirstMarkCapMatt Turck (Managing Director)LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/turck/Twitter - https://twitter.com/mattturck(00:00) Intro(01:09) The Rapid Pace of AI Releases at Anthropic(02:49) Understanding Opus, Sonnet, and Haiku Model Tiers(04:14) From Australian Fencer to AI Researcher(12:01) The YouTube Effect: Mastery Through Observation(16:16) Breaking Into AI Research Without Traditional Signals(18:29) Google, Gemini, and Building Inference Stacks(23:05) Why Anthropic?

This is Kiera and I hope today is just a great day for you. I hope that you're loving your life. Today's podcast date today is the day I get to share with you for whatever we're doing today. So whether we're driving to work together, whether we're driving home together, whether we're doing laundry or mowing the grass or traveling together or whatever you're doing today, thanks for taking me along with you. ⁓ it's truly something so fun. And today I think is going to be great for you to, what do do when you hit the plateau in your practice? ⁓ so   reality is we like didn't build our practices to be stuck or to feel like we're stuck or like there's no like we don't know our next move. ⁓ The reality is like if you plateaued or you feel stuck, it's just time to evolve. It's an indicator for you to know what the next step is kind of like when our seatbelt buckle beeps in the car, it's an indicator to put our seatbelt on ⁓ or we get the indicator from the gas light. It's an indicator to go and fill up our car with gas. Same thing when we're practices like it's plateaued or it's stuck. It's just like   Cool, let's diagnose, let's create a framework. Today I'm gonna help you have a three-step framework to diagnose your growth ceiling and how to push through it with strategy and confidence. So that's about what we're gonna do today. The Dental A Team is obsessed with you, I adore you. I'm so excited to be a part of your life or your practice.

So just make sure life super, super easy. Ease is one of our core values and trying to make your life easy is what we're obsessed about. So today when we're going to, a lot of times I see this in like a 1 million, a 1.5, a 2 million practice where they're just like, gosh, I feel like I've just like hit my level and I don't know how to grow beyond it. It's kind of like my hair. My hair grows to a certain length and it won't grow beyond that. Like I can cut it shorter.   but it just grows and it has never once grown beyond that. It's like, I don't know how to get my hair to grow past this level. Well, some practices feel like stuck hair, ⁓ but I just want to help give you this framework of three simple steps to help you diagnose it and then figure out what the next step is. So number one is to diagnose your true ceiling. And ⁓ this is where we're going to figure out like what the true cap rate is. Now, why we'll put this with an asterisk though, because a lot of offices think they've tapped out capped out.   but maybe they're just so used to sitting in there or they don't know how to have an eye for it. I went into a practice once upon a time. They had four ops and they're like, Kiera, there's nowhere else we could ever fit an operatory in here. So we're just gonna build out, we're building a building across the street. Well, within about 15 minutes, I was able to find another operatory. They added that operatory. They were able to add 200,000 to their practice just that year.   just by adding that one operatory in place. And they were like, well, we wish we would have met you like even a few months ago before we started building this huge, expensive building. I have another client where they got huge design plans out to like expand the building. It's a huge, huge expansion. They sent me a video of their downstairs and I was like, gosh, we could add like six ops down here with less effort, less reno. ⁓ And so I think also before you like truly say you pick capacity.   maybe getting a second set of eyes on it or a third set of eyes to see is there any hidden potential in here because we're looking at chairs, ops, providers, and hygiene days. That's going to truly be capacity of what can we do. Now again, getting creative because could we add maybe an hour in the morning? Have we maxed out all five days in the office? A lot of times people tell me we're maxed and I'm like, but you're not even working five days. That doesn't mean you have to work five days, but if you're practicing your building sitting empty, that space that we could actually grow that isn't the true ceiling.   So if we are not maxing out all five days, if we're not maxing out ⁓ all the operatories or all the space that we've got, you truly have not hit your ceiling. You might just not want to do the things that are capable for you. So looking at that, could I add more chairs? Could I add more operatories? What about more providers? What about more hygiene days? What about more hygiene hours? Is there space to expand any of that? Before we truly go to expand, these might be some areas that might be able to help you get past this plateau of some other areas. Also, let's look at our leadership.   ⁓ Is our owner acting as a manager and not a CEO? Are they managing the day to day? ⁓ Are they involved in all the meetings or are they truly as a CEO? And our office manager is acting as the manager within the practice. So looking for that because sometimes just freeing that owner doctor up to be a CEO actually can expand your practice very quickly with minimal effort. You actually can have all that in place and there's very little effort that you actually have to do because now the owner is able to look at things   It's like, give me a day of nothing and I will create so many possibilities. And so getting that owner out of the manager seat and into the true CEO seat, if that's the right seat for them, can also help. And then let's look to see like, what are our gaps? are there scheduling apps gaps? Do we have block scheduling in place? Can we maximize our schedule even more? What about our case acceptance, our AR? ⁓ What are some of the other areas of bottlenecks within our practice that maybe if we look to see changing them, like I've added hundreds of thousands.   including millions to a practice just by doing a different scheduling tactic, looking at the flow of the practice, just changing up the flow with pediatric practices, looking to see where do we put our ops versus our, our profis. You can actually readjust that whole schedule and actually squeeze out more juice in your practice, giving a better patient experience with little to no effort, just reworking how we're doing things. So I really, really, really love this. Like there's a practice.   that cure were totally maxed out. Like we don't know what to do and should we like expand our practice? They already have the huge practice and looking at it, I was like, but we're only here four days. So why don't we even consider that fifth day and or evening hours a couple of days? Again, that does not mean your current team. We could hire other team members for this, but like let's just run some numbers and see just adding that extra day, those lower, those evening hours. We were able to add over 550,000 to a practice just by doing that one simple thing.   no extra cost to the building. We were able to bring in two team members for that. Everything ran super easy. So I think I would go and look to see like in your practice when you're thinking I've plateaued, run a quick audit and say, where are we losing time? Where are we losing money? Or where are we losing energy? Like what are the true bottlenecks in our practice? And this is where like a CEO has to have that visionary time. Because if we ran a 60 minute audit on your office,   Could we quickly find those? When I walk into an office or our consultants walk into an office, that's what we're doing. We're auditing your practice. We're looking for these bottlenecks. So even if you can't figure out that, maybe it is time to consider bringing a consultant on site to just look at your practice to see. And we can do this virtually or in person. In person is obviously a little bit easier, but virtually too. Take videos and we can diagnose that space real quickly for you just to see what are maybe some of the options that we could do for you. So then when I look at this, SIP 2 is going to be like,   reworking all of your systems for scale. ⁓ It's like the saying is like, what got you here is not going to get you to where you need to go. So we've got to rework those. And like there have been practices that I walked in and they're actually too systematized. They're too in the weeds to be able to grow and expand it. And so for that, like, what do we need to upgrade? So like I said, for block scheduling or for handoffs or for our morning huddles or for accountability systems or reporting or KPI or tracking, like, ⁓   everybody doing a time audit to see what is on your schedule that should not be on your schedule that we could actually put into different people's spots. So often offices will tell me like, Kiera, we're so maxed. And I'm like, you're actually not maxed. Everybody's just overlapping. So we're like two or three people on the same task versus separating it out, delegating it out, getting everybody crystal clear.   ⁓ That way everybody can see and can have clarity. And I don't necessarily do it by person, but by seat. So especially for an office, we've got chair one, chair two, chair three. What do each of these chairs, what are they responsible for? What are the numbers and the metrics that they're responsible to do? So really like separating it out, dividing it out, making sure our systems are very scalable. So think like, okay, if we're a five-op practice doing 1.5 million today, what would a $4 million business that's maybe an eight-op practice do?   How would we have to change those systems and even starting to implement those systems now into your practice can exponentially help you go beyond this plateau space. So I really think like when you look at it, those simple changes like we're able to add 10,000, 20,000, 15,000 to a practice per month just by adjusting some of these systems, just by adjusting the KPIs, just by adjusting what people are doing because a lot of times smaller practices are more.   Overlappy, I think is the best way to say it rather than the larger practices the larger practices do read a little bit leaner they have more ⁓ More clarity of who should be doing what because they have to and so really looking to see what do I need to do? And how can I optimize the systems? What what's outdated in our practice that maybe we could revamp refine? Do differently now on the flip side sometimes practices that are so large actually have so many old dated systems that they just keep bringing forward that they need to actually   get rid of some of those dated systems and pick one or two systems to update. So like, are we so clunky in everything that we're tracking on our scorecard? Could we eliminate some of the things that we're tracking? So there's either, we need to track more or we need to track less. What is it and how can I actually update and rebuild our systems to be able to scale with ease? So that would be a quick thing to look at of like, what's outdated or what's to like, not like nuances.   what areas, and again, these are hard things to see. So fair warning, you've never done this before. So you might not even realize something's dated. And there was a practice who was still using paper charts. And I walked in and I was like, I've worked with you for a year. You didn't bother to tell me you had paper charts. But for them being in the day to day, they didn't realize that that was dated. So sometimes for you, you do need a bird's eye perspective. You do need someone who has seen hundreds of offices of what should be happening or what could be happening in your organization.   that maybe you're not even doing. So truly I am big on, yes, I am a consultant. So of course I have that. We do it within our company too. Bringing in people who are smarter than where we are. We know we've hit our ceiling and what we know how to update or what we think is outdated, we've already fixed. It might be time for you to also have that. And sometimes that's where the plateau happens is because...   You've grown as far as you know how to grow. You don't know how to go to the next level. And I've been there. I'm in there in my company right now. Like we're getting ready to bring somebody in from large, large, large corporation to still keep our like our boutique feel, but allowing us to scale in ways that I don't even understand how to do. So truly like even myself, I do this for our company because I think it's so wise to see somebody else who can help me figure out like what's dated, what's not working to help us scale even more while maintaining the feel of.   we are. Excuse me, step three.   Step three is going to be setting a bold new vision. So ⁓ when we feel like we've plateaued, we gotta figure out like, where do we want to go? Where do we want to grow to? And for me, it's like defining what the next level looks like. So is that team profit schedule lifestyle? When we work with offices, we set a one, three, 10 year goal that helps have this bold new vision. And sometimes you might be in this, I was in this and at year, gosh, it was year seven. ⁓   I like kind of lost the vision and I was like, I don't really know if this is where I want to go. And so we've got to just like clear up the vision and figure out where are we going? What does that look like? Team members schedule, like how many hours is the CEO working? Things like that. And then getting the whole team bought into it. And this is something I really love about leadership teams is we, build the vision together. So owner, yes, like I need to know where you want to go. You set the lighthouse for us and then we build around it. And so then what we do is we then tie quarterly goals into it. We run off of traction, but really like,   What I see happen so often is the owner doctor feels like they're just like dragging the boat along when they feel like they plateaued, but they don't have the whole team bought into it. And this is actually a question we ask offices when they're coming to work with us is it's your one through 10 year vision. Like how clear is that on a one to 10? And a lot of times you're like, well, I know where I want to go. And I'm like, great. Now does your team know where you want to go? And usually that's where it's fuzzy is the team has no clue. So the doctor really is like, just imagine like, this is how I visualize it. Like these huge chains and I'm holding them and they're like,   pulling this boat and I'm like sluggishly like walking down the beach like trying to pull this boat along versus throw the chains in the boat. So it's not on my back anymore as the owner. I hop in the boat with my team as a team collectively. We know that we're headed to this island at this time. We've got the map. We've got the road map. We've got somebody guiding us if we need to well now like everybody's rowing together right like that's so much easier like even like if you're watching the video you saw my like it's like this like   I don't know, hunched over, exhausted, like trying to pull this whole heavy boat versus like, we're all just rowing and I'm in my seat and I know what I need to row. And well, I guess rowing is not easy. It's much easier than trying to drag and force results. And so with that, a lot of times what I do is teams that do this, I have an office and they sent me a text and I'm like, yeah, remember when you were in our office and you helped us set the goal of hitting, I it was like 350,000 a month. They were like, we were barely producing like,   200 at that time. They're like, there's no way this is going to happen. Four months later, they were breaking 350. And like you went, that's 150,000 added to production. No extra days. Like all we did was we aligned the team to see where we needed to go. And what's crazy is when you get that alignment, well, now your system's become easier. Now the clarity is there. Everybody truly can figure out like where we're going and what our next level is because it's a collective group.   and it's a collective growth and it's a collective mission and effort that we're all headed to. I don't come in and say, you guys should be here. I come in and say, all right, collectively as a team, this is where we are. This is what industry standards are for growth. What do we feel as a team? And now when I'm doing this, also, I don't break it down and say like, all right, you have to add 150,000 a month. Well, no, if you're working 20 days, like I'm literally pulling out my calculator, 150,000 divided by 20 days, that's 7,500 extra a day. Well, 7,500 in dentistry.   is actually pretty easy to produce. And so what things could we do to get there? How could we have each department work on this? So now it becomes not 150,000. It's like, great. How do we add that 7,500? Why are we doing this? What's the purpose behind it? But getting that next level figured out really can help a practice get out of the plateau because now our sites are bigger. We know where we're headed. Then we can figure out our systems. Then we can figure out all the different pieces of like, what is my true ceiling? Am I really maxed out? You get more creative. So   For this, yes, I did these steps this direction, but really I would reverse them if I was listening to this podcast. And step one is I would figure out what my vision is. What's my next level and where do I wanna go? Then I'd look at my systems and what are my systems doing that I need to either add, take away or improve to get me to this next level and then figure out like the ceiling and is my practice truly maxed out or based on my next level vision, what could I do within my practice currently? And I think, yes, it's always fun to go buy a new house or a new car, a new   practice expanded out, but also cashflow wise and business wise and savvy business, if you can make it work where you currently are or just do a few small changes, is that worth it? And does that give it? For some people, they need to go build it. And the next level for them is to build something more dreamy, more fun. And that's like, what's going to ignite them. So everybody has to know what's going to be for you. But really, truly, I believe if you've got this great plan, you've got these pieces in play, it can help you get out of the plateau. It can help you figure out what your next level is.   honest to goodness, a lot of times you do need somebody outside to help you if you're not great at seeing this. And that's okay. I am not good. My husband and walk in a lot of rental properties and real estate properties. And I'm like, I wish I could see the vision on houses like I see in dental practices. When I walk in, I can see what needs to happen. Our consultants can see what needs to happen quickly. Where do I need to the numbers? What do need to do from that? That's something so magical versus like in a house. I'm like,   I don't know, I can't see where to move the walls. And some of you might be able to see in a house very quickly how to renovate it and how to change it. For me, that's not a talent I have. For you, a talent you might not have is being able to see how you can get beyond the plateau of your practice. Here are some tips for you. Hopefully you can take them on and try them out. But really, if you need help, reach out. This is what we do. This is what we do all day long. We've seen multiple practices. We've seen them from five ops. We've seen them up to literally have a practice of 25 ops.   The difference between those two practices and the way they operate in the systems and what we do for the large practices versus what we do for the small practices is pretty similar. Actually, it's very similar of what we do. ⁓ It's just on a different scale and it's growing the smaller practices into the larger practices. So for you growth, truly, I want to remind you isn't luck. It's leadership that has systems and clarity of where to go and what the next step is in the next vision. So if you feel stuck,   You're not failing. You might just need a new vision. You might just need a different perspective. You might need somebody to come in and help you see the gaps that you might not be able to see. And so truly I would love to help you. So reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. This is what we talk about on our practice assessment calls. We talk about where you are, the potential. There is a lot of free consulting on that for you, whether you work with us or not, just to give you what the next step is or what some of the blind spots are in your practice that maybe you didn't see because you're in a day in a day out. I do this for our company.   And it's such a joy and an honor to do it for practices, to be able to help you from someone who's been there, done that and done it successfully over and over and over again. So let's do it for you. Reach out. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. It's time for you to grow into the vision that you were meant to have. It's time for you to have fun with it. It's time for you to get excited, to get reignited, to have the best time. And we're here to help you do that. So reach out. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Is your private practice stuck at $8K–$12K months, no matter how many hours you work? You're not alone. Many therapists hit this therapy ceiling and end up working 60+ hours a week just to maintain income. In this episode of Beyond Private Practice, Liz Fernandez reveals the 3 proven shifts therapists use to break free from the $12K plateau, reduce their caseload, and sustainably scale to $20K months—without adding more clients or chaos. You'll hear real case studies of private practice owners who cut their caseloads in half, simplified their systems, and even funded maternity leave while creating more freedom and income. What You'll Learn The Therapy Ceiling Trap: Why Private Practices Plateau at $12K Months Why “more clients = more income” is a myth that leads to burnout How the “fuller caseload = more success” mindset caps your growth The difference between building a job vs. building a business 3 Shifts to Scale Your Therapy Practice to $20K Months How to reverse-engineer your services from your income goals Why intentional business model structure matters more than hours worked The sustainable scaling approach that creates work-life balance Real Therapist Case Studies: Breaking the $12K Plateau The client who reduced from 40 clients to 20 while still earning $12K/month How one practice owner added coaching to fund maternity leave and reach $20K The systems that cut 70+ hour weeks into streamlined success Strategic Private Practice Design for Therapists How to align your services with your season of life Why sustainable offers and intentional pricing create freedom Building a practice that supports your life goals, not controls them Key Takeaways ✅ Working harder won't get you past $12K months—you need a new structure ✅ Scaling therapists design offers and pricing around income goals ✅ You can maintain or increase income while dramatically reducing your caseload ✅ Strategic scaling supports life transitions like maternity leave or sabbaticals ✅ Financial liberation is possible without burning out or sacrificing values  Episode Highlights “This is the hardest you're ever going to have to work based on where you are right now” — Why your current overwhelm doesn't have to be permanent “You're not building a sustainable business with this approach—you're building a job with a very real ceiling” — The therapy ceiling trap explained “We built the path to the dream practice she originally envisioned” — How strategic design creates income and freedom

Every business owner eventually faces it: the dreaded plateau. Sales stop climbing, growth stalls, and suddenly you're left wondering what went wrong. In this episode of the Opt-In Podcast, Melissa Franks breaks down the truth about business plateaus and how to navigate them without panic or wasted effort.Melissa dives into the four core areas every entrepreneur should interrogate when growth has flatlined:Your Data – Why understanding metrics like customer acquisition cost, lifetime value, churn, and return on ad spend is essential for diagnosing issues.Your Sales Process – How inefficiencies, distractions, or broken funnels quietly kill conversion rates and what to do about it.Your Time – The surprising ways a founder's calendar can hold back growth (and how delegation and focus create momentum).Your Team – How misaligned priorities, poor culture, or lack of standard processes can drag down performance across the business.Melissa also shares a powerful analogy: think of business growth like a mountain range, not a roller coaster. Plateaus aren't failures, they're natural flat stretches where you regroup, stabilize, and prepare for the next climb.Whether you're currently in a plateau or preparing for the inevitable, this episode gives you the tools to diagnose, adjust, and reignite momentum.Connect with Melissa: Watch the Episodes on Youtube Instagram: instagram.com/melissa_franks Schedule a call: melissafranks.com

Better Doctors., I share a personal story about hitting the edge of what I could accomplish alone—and how that experience mirrors the exact point where many Chinese medicine practitioners stall in their business. Whether it's lifting heavier weights or growing a practice, there comes a time when self-guided effort isn't enough. I talk about what it really takes to reach the next level: identity shifts, strategic investment, mentorship, and a willingness to do what feels uncomfortable.

On today's episode I am sitting down solo to discuss all things weight loss weigh-ins as inspired by one of our amazing listener's named Kelsey who left a comment on a recent episode on Spotify regarding how often she should be weighing in. In this, I'm discussing how to approach weigh-ins, how often you should weigh in, when it's appropriate to stop weighing in as frequently or even at all if it's impacting your mental health and how to not let the number on the scale get the best of you according to science. My hope is for you to walk away from this episode knowing exactly how to use weigh-ins to level up your progress without it physically and mentally draining you, or bringing you down… because at the end of the day the goal is to focus on the work – not the weigh in.

Once seen as an affordable alternative source of protein for the average Nigerian, fish is gradually disappearing from the dining table and not because it's no longer wanted.With the high cost of feed, fuel, and transportation, many fish farmers are struggling to stay in business, and as a result, prices are rising beyond reach for millions.What's really driving the crisis? How do fish farmers survive? What can families eat instead? And what is Nigeria losing economically as fish farming declines?These are the issues we explore in this episode of Nigeria Daily.

In this vulnerable solo episode, I share a real-time example of how the sacral center works in decision-making - using my own journey with the daily Big Leap Year videos I've been creating since my birthday.The Big Announcement:I'm officially letting go of the daily Big Leap Year videos on YouTube. Even though I'm around day 170 and committed to it at the beginning of the year, my sacral has been giving me a clear "no" - and I'm finally listening.Understanding the Sacral Stair Step:The sacral has a natural rhythm: go up (energized, flowing) → hit plateau (feels dull, "blah") → go back up to next levelThe key is recognizing the difference between a temporary plateau (normal - don't quit here!) and genuine misalignment (consistent "no" that doesn't shift)What starts as a sacral "yes" can change over time - staying connected to your body's current wisdom matters more than past commitmentsWhat I Learned:I was trying to prove myself and people-please rather than honor my body's wisdomThe daily commitment was draining me and distracting from what truly lights me up (podcasting, true sidereal human design)When you're consistently pushing and forcing, that's misalignment - not just a plateauSometimes we need to experience what's NOT aligned to learn what IS alignedKey Takeaways:Not everything aligned will feel amazing 100% of the time - plateaus are normalYour wellbeing and body's signals should always be the priorityWhen you let go of what's not yours, you create space for others to step into their zone of geniusThe more you slow down and connect to your body (nature, meditation, etc.), the clearer your inner compass becomesThe Invitation:If you feel called to do the Big Leap Year journey, get the book and do it at your own pace. It's been transformative for me - I'm just continuing it privately now rather than publicly.This episode is perfect for generators, manifesting generators, or anyone learning to trust their body's wisdom over their mind's commitments.Connect and work with Analena:https://analenafuchs.com/https://www.instagram.com/analena.fuchs/Book a Human Design Reading: https://calendly.com/analenafuchs#humandesigngenerator #manifestinggenerator #humandesign #genekeys

How do our questions impact our ability to make disciples, develop leaders and plant new churches? That's the topic of today's show! Welcome to Run With Horses! My name is Norman and my goal is to help you thrive as a follower of Jesus. The spiritual life is simple in many ways, but potentially the most difficult part of your life. God invites you to grow, to live intentionally and to join in His mission. It's very cool that we can do that together! Thank you for joining me today! “If you're new here, you can check out past episodes at runwithhorses.net.

Contact the radio station or leave a review on your favorite app. We want to hear from you! ⸻ Multiplication Thinking Part 1: The Power of the Questions We Ask (Vision & Theology) Theme: Questions reveal what we believe about God's mission, our role, and the future. ** 1. Why Questions Matter **  Questions expose vision (or the lack of it) Show how “addition” questions limit scope vs. “multiplication” questions which expand possibilities.  Example: “How many people can I gather?” (Level 2 thinking) vs. “How many disciple-makers can I release?” (Level 4-5 thinking). .The Five Levels of Church Mutiplication 1.subtraction 2. Plateau 3.addition 4. Reproducing 5. Multiplication . *** 2. The Five Levels of Leadership (from Hero Maker) ***  • Level 1: I count (thinking addition, personal results).  • Level 2: I count what I do (improving programs).  • Level 3: I count what we do together (team success).  • Level 4: I count leaders I raise up (reproduction).  • Level 5: I count leaders who multiply leaders (movement/multiplication).  • Use examples of how each level asks progressively bigger questions. *** 3. Biblical and Theological Foundation *** .  • Jesus modeled multiplication: He invested in 12 → sent 72 → great commission to all.  • Paul's instruction to Timothy: “Entrust to reliable people who will also be qualified to teach others” (2 Tim. 2:2).  • The kingdom grows like a seed — designed for multiplication, not maintenance (parable of the mustard seed, yeast in the dough). *** 4. Why Maintenance Mindset is Dangerous ***  • It keeps leaders in survival mode (protecting what is).  • It makes ministries inward-focused rather than kingdom-focused.  • Ultimately, it limits generational impact. ***  5. Challenge: ***  • What questions are you currently asking in your ministry?  • Are they addition questions or multiplication questions?  • (Good interactive moment: invite participants to write down their top 2 questions they ask about ministry and assess what “level” they reflect.) ⸻ **(00:00) END PART 1** **(27:00 – 5:00) BEGIN PART 2* Part 2: Asking Multiplication Questions  Leaders at every level can shift from addition to multiplication by the questions they ask. *** 1. Shifting the Question at Every Level of Leadership*** .  • Sunday school teacher: Instead of “How many kids will show up?” ask “How many kids can I equip to share their faith?”  • Deacon/volunteer leader: Instead of “How do I fill this need?” ask “Who can I invite and empower to step into leadership?”  • Pastor: Instead of “How do we grow this church?” ask “How do we plant churches and send leaders?”  • Church planter: Instead of “How do I build this church strong?” ask “How do I build this to multiply from the start?” *** 2. Practical Multiplication Questions to Introduce***  • Who am I discipling right now?  • Who could they disciple next?  • What leaders am I raising up?  • Who in my ministry could replace me if I left tomorrow?  • What's stopping me from giving more away? *** 3. Tools & Practices to Reinforce Multiplication Thinking***  • Permission-giving: Start saying “You can do this” more often.  • Scorecards: Redefine success — not just how many are attending, but how many are multiplying.  • Apprenticing model: Always have someone learning beside you. *** 4. Case Studies / Stories***  • Share short stories of multiplication in action (a teacher who trained kids to lead, a church that planted another church, a small group that reproduced).  • Highlight that multiplication is possible at every level, not just at the top. *** 5. Closing Challenge & Vision Casting***  • Ask participants: “If every leader here multiplied themselves once in the next 2 years, what would happen in our church and community?”  • Cast vision for generational leadership: thinking in terms of “spiritual grandchildren.”  • Call them to choose one multiplication question they'll start asking this week. *** 6. Sample Multiplication vs. Maintenance Questions*** Sunday School Teachers  • Maintenance: How many kids will show up this week?  • Multiplication: Which kids can I disciple so they can share their faith with others?  • Multiplication: Who could I apprentice as a future teacher? ⸻ Deacons  • Maintenance: How do we meet the needs of our members better?  • Multiplication: Who else can we raise up to serve so more people are empowered?  • Multiplication: How do we multiply servant leaders, not just serve needs? ⸻ Sound Booth / Tech Team  • Maintenance: How do I make sure the sound and slides run smoothly this Sunday?  • Multiplication: Who can I train so they can run sound in the future?  • Multiplication: How do we multiply tech leaders so new services, campuses, or ministries can launch equipped? ⸻ Worship Leaders  • Maintenance: How do we sound better this Sunday?  • Multiplication: Who in the band or congregation can I mentor to lead worship in the future?  • Multiplication: How do we multiply worship leaders so that every group, gathering, or church plant has someone to lead? ⸻ Pastors  • Maintenance: How do we grow this church bigger?  • Multiplication: How do we raise up pastors and church planters from within?  • Multiplication: Who are my “Timothys” that I'm intentionally training to multiply leaders? ⸻ Church Planters  • Maintenance: How do I make this church strong and healthy?  • Multiplication: How do I plant in such a way that this church will plant another church within 3 years?  • Multiplication: How do I build a culture of sending from the very beginning? ⸻ General “Every Leader” Questions  • Maintenance: How do I succeed in my role?  • Multiplication: Who am I apprenticing to take my place?  • Multiplication: Who are my spiritual grandchildren — the people being discipled by those I discipled? ⸻ ***  7. Progression of Questions: From Addition to Multiplication*** Level 1: I Count (self-focused)  • How am I doing?  • Did I do a good job teaching / leading / serving?  • Did people like what I did today? (Example: A sound booth worker asks, “Did I get the slides right?”) ⸻ Level 2: I Count What I Do (program-focused)  • How many people showed up to my class, service, or ministry?  • How can I make this better for those who attend?  • Did the event/service/program run smoothly? (Example: A Sunday school teacher asks, “How many kids are in my class this week?”) ⸻ Level 3: I Count What We Do Together (team-focused)  • How is our team doing?  • How can we grow this ministry bigger or better together?  • How can we serve more people as a team? (Example: A deacon asks, “How can our deacon team meet more needs this year?”) ⸻ Level 4: I Count Leaders I Raise Up (reproduction-focused)  • Who am I apprenticing right now?  • Who could I trust to lead if I wasn't here?  • How can I release more people into ministry and leadership? (Example: A worship leader asks, “Who in the band can I mentor to lead a worship set?”) ⸻ Level 5: I Count Leaders Who Multiply Leaders (movement-focused)  • Who are my spiritual grandchildren — the leaders raised up by the leaders I've discipled?  • How do we create a culture where leaders naturally multiply leaders?  • How can we measure success by kingdom expansion, not just local growth? (Example: A pastor asks, “Who are the church planters being trained by the leaders I've already raised up?”) ⸻ ✅ Progression Summary (for a slide or handout):  • Level 1–2 questions: focus on me and my ministry.  • Level 3 questions: focus on our ministry team.  • Level 4 questions: focus on leaders I raise.  • Level 5 questions: focus on leaders who raise leaders.   **(1:00)**  What kinds of questions are you asking? Do your answers move you toward reproduction and multiplication or do they keep you stuck in the status quo? I know what kind of questions I want to be asking! – “Thank you for listening today!  -If you enjoyed the show you can listen to all the past shows wherever you listen to podcasts.

Every law firm goes through distinct stages: from the hustle of startup, through the rapid growth of scaling, to the challenges of repelling, and finally the stability of plateau.  In this episode, host Victoria Collier breaks down what each stage looks like, how income changes along the way, and when it makes the most sense to sell. Whether you're just starting out, feeling the stress cracks of growth, or enjoying a period of stability, knowing where you are in the cycle is key to making smart business and exit decisions. What you'll learn in this episode: •⁠  ⁠The four stages of the law firm life cycle: startup, scaling, repelling, and plateau. •⁠  ⁠How income, expenses, and owner take-home shift in each stage. •⁠  ⁠Why scaling is the best time to sell, and plateau is the second best. •⁠  ⁠The risks of trying to exit too early in the startup phase or during repelling. Take a moment to reflect: where is your firm right now, and what does that mean for your next move? Victoria Collier is a seasoned attorney, entrepreneur, and expert in law firm sales and valuations. With a background in law and accounting, including her prior military service and CPA training, she brings a unique perspective on the financial intricacies of business valuations.

While the photographs from Suribachi raced around the world, the Marines prepared for a new and even more punishing fight. Their next objective was the Motoyama Plateau. Three airfields surrounded by a citadel of pillboxes, bunkers, and caves woven together to bleed the invasion dry. At the heart of this defensive belt lay three features: the heights of Hill 382, the blockhouse of Turkey Knob, and the bowl of the Amphitheater. Together, they formed the Meat Grinder. Entire companies were cut down to platoon strength. Riflemen crawled through volcanic ash under fire from every angle, engineers dragged flamethrowers and satchel charges against concrete walls that refused to break, and corpsmen pulled the wounded out of craters while shells burst overhead. The Meat Grinder epitomized Iwo Jima: a place won not by a single breakthrough, but by relentless endurance, teamwork, and sacrifice. ************* Visit HistoryoftheMarineCorps.com to subscribe to our newsletter, explore episode notes and images, and see our references.

On this solo episode of Truth Works, host Jessica Neal sits down with Eduardo Briceño, author of The Performance Paradox: Turning the Power of Mindset into Action and one of the world's leading voices on growth mindset. From Caracas to Silicon Valley, VC to education, Eduardo unpacks how living in constant performance mode stalls progress—and how deliberately switching into the learning zone unlocks long-term excellence.We get tactical: redesigning meeting agendas so learning isn't an afterthought, building daily habits for reflection, modeling feedback, and balancing short-term execution with bold, long-term goals.
