Financial success is not simply about accumulating more it is about making intentional decisions that support your values, relationships, and long-term goals. In this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno speaks with Chad Coe, founder and president of Coe Financial Group, about values-based financial leadership, entrepreneurship, trust, and community impact.

In this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno welcomes Lyndsay Dowd, founder of Heartbeat for Hire, leadership strategist, speaker, coach, podcast host, and two-time author, for a powerful conversation about human-centered leadership, workplace culture, trust, accountability, and positive influence. After more than 23 years at IBM, where she built and led high-performing sales teams, Lyndsay experienced a major career disruption that forced her to rethink leadership, purpose, and how she could help people most. That moment became the foundation for Heartbeat for Hire, where she now helps leaders build cultures people actually want to be part of. Throughout the conversation, Lyndsay shares why leadership is not just about results, quotas, or titles. It is about how people feel, whether they trust their leaders, and whether they are given the clarity, autonomy, and support needed to grow. She explains how trust becomes a leader's most important currency, why broken trust must be repaired with accountability, and why consistent one-on-one conversations are essential to strong leadership. Lyndsay also shares practical strategies for building a stronger workplace culture, including going on a listening tour, asking better questions, making people feel seen, giving credit freely, and modeling the behavior leaders want their teams to follow. She reminds listeners that culture is not a slogan. It is the experience people have every day under a leader's influence. This episode is ideal for business owners, executives, managers, entrepreneurs, coaches, and community leaders who want to lead with both performance and heart while creating a more positive, responsible influence in the lives of others.

In this episode of Daily Influence, host Gregg-Brooke Koleno sits down with Ben Fischer, Founder and CEO of ZivZo Marketing Group, to explore what decades of entrepreneurship can teach business owners about leadership, accountability, marketing, and responsible influence. With more than four decades of hands-on experience across restaurants, franchising, real estate, consulting, marketing, advertising, and video production, Ben shares practical lessons from building, operating, exiting, failing, adjusting, and rebuilding businesses across multiple industries. His perspective is grounded in real-world execution, not theory. Throughout the conversation, Ben discusses why transparency and accountability are essential responsibilities for business owners, especially when employees, vendors, customers, and families depend on their decisions. He also explains why responsible marketing requires more than persuasion. Businesses must be able to deliver what they promise, support their messaging with operational strength, and avoid campaigns that create expectations they cannot meet. Ben shares insights on helping business owners clarify their message, declutter scattered ideas, build stronger offers, and turn vision into disciplined execution. He also reflects on difficult business lessons, including how an unexpected crisis in a bakery manufacturing business led to a more profitable operating model through outsourcing and strategic pivoting. Listeners will hear practical advice on earning respect as a leader, staying level-headed through success and setbacks, asking for help, listening to guidance, and using influence with greater intention. This episode is a valuable listen for entrepreneurs, business owners, leaders, marketers, and community builders who want to strengthen their business strategy while leading with accountability, clarity, and positive influence.

In this episode of Daily Influence, Gregg-Brooke Koleno welcomes Moe “Mr. Cool Beans” Mondesir, husband, father, former classroom teacher, stage 4 chronic kidney disease advocate, and host of The Chronic Brew Podcast. After a life-changing kidney episode forced Moe to leave the classroom and redefine his future, he chose not to let his diagnosis become the end of his influence. Instead, he turned his experience into a platform for education, advocacy, and encouragement for others navigating chronic illness, uncertainty, and identity shifts. Moe shares how adaptability, self-awareness, and personal responsibility helped him move from asking “why me?” to asking how his story could help others. Through his podcast, social media presence, and work with the Kidney Foundation, Moe is creating space for people living with chronic illness to feel seen, heard, and supported. This conversation explores resilience, chronic kidney disease awareness, burnout, rebuilding purpose after adversity, and the power of small intentional actions. Moe reminds us that positive influence does not require perfect circumstances. Sometimes it begins with a simple text, a phone call, a listening ear, or the decision to be a ray of sunshine for someone walking through a difficult season. Listeners will walk away with a practical reminder: when you know someone is struggling, do not just hold the information. Take action. Show up. Encourage them. Be present. That is responsible influence in motion. To connect with Moe “Mr. Cool Beans” Mondesir, listen to The Chronic Brew Podcast on all major podcast platforms. You can also find him on Instagram and Facebook at @mrcoolbeans2889 or email him at mrcoolbeans2889@gmail.com.

Anxious Attachment: Why You're Pushing Love AwayAnxious attachment keeps you stuck in a cycle of fear, control, and self-sabotage — and most people don't even realize they're doing it. John and Echo break down exactly how anxious attachment shows up in real relationships, why it develops in the first place, and what it actually costs you to keep living this way. If you've ever needed constant reassurance, spiraled over unanswered texts, or exploded after holding everything in — this episode is for you.They dig into the real mechanics of anxious attachment: how childhood wounds and past relationship trauma wire you to see love as something that can be taken away, why anxious people are weirdly good at reading emotions but terrible at reading situations, and the uncomfortable truth about how chasing control pushes people toward the exact outcome you're terrified of. John and Echo also flip the script — talking about how to *actually* influence your relationship in the right direction, how to handle a partner who's anxiously attached without making things worse, and why giving reassurance without boundaries is just feeding the cycle.In This EpisodeAnxious attachment usually forms from unpredictable parenting or past relationship trauma — not a personal flawAnxious people detect emotions quickly but jump to wrong conclusions, which accelerates the spiralTrying to control outcomes is the *formula* for anxiety — letting go of control is the cureCalling 15 times or asking "do you still love me?" soothes you for five minutes and makes the problem worse long-termInstead of nagging from fear, reinforce the positive traits you want — it pulls people toward being that personIf you don't address issues as they come up, you *will* become anxiously attached — avoidance creates itReassurance without boundaries teaches your partner that their anxiety controls you — set the limit kindly but clearlyAnxious attachment looks different in men vs. women: men tend to control overtly, women tend to control covertlyTimestamps0:00 — What Makes Someone Anxiously Attached?3:15 — How Past Relationships Shape Your Attachment Style5:35 — Anxious People Read Emotions But Jump to Conclusions9:39 — Why Anxious People Try to Control Outcomes15:13 — Can Worrying About Cheating Actually Cause It?22:28 — Letting Go of Control Is the Formula for Less Anxiety31:40 — Why Women Are Naturally More Anxious in Relationships38:14 — How Anxious Attachment Shows Up in Men47:04 — Positive Influence vs. Negative Spiraling59:06 — How to Handle an Anxiously Attached PartnerConnect

With elections in Tamil Nadu gearing up, one development drawing sharp attention is the entry of Vijay, whose political debut is expected to command a significant share of the vote. He comes from a long line of figures in the State who have transitioned from cinema to politics. In Tamil Nadu, the film world and politics have mutually benefited each other. The Dravidian movement changed the face of cinema. C. N. Annadurai, founder of the DMK, and former Chief Minister M. Karunanidhi deeply influenced Tamil cinema. Cinema became a medium to propagate ideas of social reform. The dialogues Karunanidhi penned for Parasakthi, starring Sivaji Ganesan in the lead role, marked a clear departure from a cinema that had been largely dominated by songs. This helped the DMK secure power in Tamil Nadu. Similarly, M. G. Ramachandran, popularly known as MGR, used cinema to meticulously cultivate an image that later helped him in politics, going on to become the Chief Minister of the State. But does entering politics necessarily guarantee success? And how crucial has cinema been in defining the political landscape of Tamil Nadu? Learn more about your ad choices.

In today's episode of Daily Influence, Brian explores one of the most underestimated tools in leadership and human connection: the apology. Rooted in The I in Team Series and strengthened by the S.M.A.R.T. framework, a genuine apology becomes more than an admission of fault—it becomes a strategic act of responsible influence. Brian breaks down how accepting responsibility restores psychological safety, how meaningful repair strengthens relationships, and how intentional realignment brings teams back to shared purpose. When done well, an apology shifts influence from reactive to intentional, turning moments of conflict into opportunities for growth and unity. Your influence is constant—make sure it reflects integrity, humility, and accountability.

In this episode of the Jewish Inspiration Podcast, Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe explores the origins and significance of Rosh Hashanah, the Jewish New Year, noting it commemorates the sixth day of creation when Adam and Eve were formed, making it a two-day holiday worldwide. He describes it as a day of divine judgment for all humanity, drawing from the Mishnah in Tractate Rosh Hashanah, which outlines four annual judgment periods: Pesach for grains, Shavuot for fruits, Rosh Hashanah for human deeds (determining life or death), and Sukkot for water. Rabbi Wolbe emphasizes its dual nature as both solemn judgment and joyful celebration, where God desires to bestow goodness, urging listeners to prepare by realigning with divine will and crowning God as king.Rabbi Wolbe delves into the phrase "Kivnei Maron" from Psalms, interpreting it through Talmudic lenses: judging speech for truthfulness, individual talents and potential (illustrated by the Netziv's story), and one's influence on others. He stresses personal accountability for fulfilling God-given abilities, avoiding self-limitation, and positively impacting the community to merit favorable judgment. Practical advice includes believing in oneself and children, volunteering to become indispensable, and genuinely desiring spiritual growth, as all blessings for the year are decreed on Rosh Hashanah, linking to the subsequent days of repentance and Sukkot.Recorded at TORCH Centre in the Levin Family Studios (B) to a live audience on September 7, 2025, in Houston, Texas.Released as Podcast on August 9, 2025_____________Listen, Subscribe & Share: Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/jewish-inspiration-podcast-rabbi-aryeh-wolbe/id1476610783Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4r0KfjMzmCNQbiNaZBCSU7) to stay inspired! Share your questions at aw@torchweb.org or visit torchweb.org for more Torah content.  _____________About the Host:Rabbi Aryeh Wolbe, Director of TORCH in Houston, brings decades of Torah scholarship to guide listeners in applying Jewish wisdom to daily life.  To directly send your questions, comments, and feedback, please email: awolbe@torchweb.org_____________Support Our Mission:Our Mission is Connecting Jews & Judaism.

We're talking real pain: losing his father to suicide, going through a brutal divorce, and still showing up as a single dad trying to do right by his kids. Kristian doesn't sugarcoat anything. He talks about the dark stuff loneliness, court battles, and rebuilding from rock bottom but he also shares how he turned all that pain into purpose. This one's about ownership. About refusing to play victim. About finding your tribe, cutting the excuses, and transforming your lowest moments into fuel for the comeback. If you're a dad going through it or just a man trying to level up after life hits hard this episode is for you.

Welcome to the DMF! I'm Justin Younts, and today we're diving deep into the often-overlooked aspects of acting that can make or break your career. In this video, we discuss the critical importance of mindset and self-esteem for actors, which many acting books fail to address. It's not just about the techniques; it's about how you feel and think as an actor. Many conservatory graduates face high burnout rates because they aren't prepared for the mental challenges of the industry. We explore how traditional training often neglects the psychological side of acting, leaving many feeling lost and frustrated after graduation. I share insights on how to navigate this tough industry, emphasizing the need for a realistic approach and a long-term vision. We also touch on the significance of relaxation under pressure and how meditation can be a game-changer for your performance. If you're serious about your acting career, you need to learn how to stay calm and focused, even when things get tough. Plus, we discuss the importance of surrounding yourself with a supportive community and having a clear vision of your goals. This video is packed with valuable advice that could change your approach to acting forever. So, if you're ready to take your career to the next level, hit that play button and let's get started!00:00:00 - Introduction00:00:06 - The Importance of Mindset in Acting00:00:58 - The Problem with Acting Schools00:01:45 - The Reality of Becoming an Actor00:02:03 - The Misconceptions about Acting Career00:05:22 - The Importance of Meditation for Actors00:09:12 - The Role of Vision in Acting00:10:22 - Acting Teachers and Their Influence00:12:15 - The Importance of Positive Influence and Mentorship00:12:48 - Conclusion

Have you ever wondered why asking for what you want can feel so awkward—and why people say yes more often than we think? In this episode, I dive deep with Dr. Vanessa Bohns, an organizational behavior expert from Cornell University and the author of You Have More Influence Than You Think. Together, we unpack why influence is so much more than persuasion—and why it's less about manipulation and more about authentic, everyday impact.
