He is an ordained Zen Buddhist monk, poet, clinical psychologist, psychedelic psychotherapist, author, meditation teacher, and researcher, in addition to being a transformational coach for world-class musicians, athletes, veterans, scientists, authors, and playwrights. In our conversation, Mike talks about truth medicine and explains how trauma is a disconnection from the present moment, clarifying how the nervous system responds to chronic stress or trauma, and how midlife transitions can reactivate unhealed wounds.

We also discuss what it means to lead with the heart, integrity, and humility, and tackle the emotional weight of regret, remorse, and shame.

Teaching is more than a career—it's a calling. But let's be honest: it's also the hardest profession in the world. In this episode of Teach, Task Box, Inspire, Lisa Hollady dives into why teaching is so uniquely challenging—and why so many educators feel exhausted, underpaid, and undervalued. From wearing a dozen hats every day to spending our own money on supplies and planning every single minute of the school day, the demands on teachers are relentless.Resources Mentioned: Free training: 3 Simple and Powerful Ways to Cultivate Independence in Your Special Education Classroom Show Notes: https://chalkboardsuperhero.com/episode94

What if one simple shift in how you pray could shape a child’s whole future? In this episode, we dive into the power of intentional prayer using Luke 2:52 as a guide—praying for wisdom, character, and spiritual favor over the kids we love. We’re all keenly aware of the negative influences surrounding our kids today through social media and culture. But instead of worrying, what if we became warriors over our kids through prayer? This week’s episode makes prayer for our kids easy and do-able. We also talk about the importance of encouragement and how one teachable moment at a fairground reminded me of what not to do to help our kids love God. I share four things even well-meaning parents do that accidentally hinder our child’s spiritual growth rather than help it. With personal stories and practical tools, this conversation will inspire you to pray with purpose, speak life, and surround your child with mentors who reflect God’s grace. You’re not parenting alone—and God’s got big plans ahead. Whether they’re toddlers or grown adults, your prayers matter.

What sets good superintendents apart from great ones is their business ability. The most successful superintendents bring a higher-level thought process to their leaders, club members, and team. Patrick Michener shares how you can become that irreplaceable leader. Patrick has been the Superintendent at Bidermann Golf Course and Vicmead Hunt Club since January 2019. Prior to that, he was the Golf Course Superintendent at the Country Club of York in York, PA for six years. A graduate of Penn State University with over 20 years of experience in the turfgrass industry, Patrick has crafted his leadership skills at Aronimink Golf Club and Bidermann Golf Course. He currently serves on the PAGCS board and as a GCSAA Grass Roots Ambassador.  Executive-Level Leadership As a superintendent nowadays, turf management skills are a given. What sets you apart from others are your leadership and business abilities.  If you want to demonstrate your executive style thinking, stay ahead of club operations. If you know your GM is going to ask for a budget spreadsheet, make sure you've finished it before they even ask, and always know where you're at in terms of capital.  Lastly, work on your communication skills. Learn to enjoy presentations so you can showcase what you're doing to improve yourself, your operations, and your team. Take continuing education seriously and go beyond the expected turf management classes. Look for ways to expand your thinking, and invite other experts or mentors to provide a different perspective. Building a Great Team from Within Like many superintendents, Patrick had a hard time filling entry-level positions. Job postings were fruitless. But instead of being a victim of the circumstances, he decided to take responsibility for the hiring process.  Patrick shifted his focus from constantly rotating and training new staff to internal talent development. He knew if he could find a way to consistently bring in good people and keep them over time, the club would be much better off.  These days, everyone at Bidermann is on a track somewhere, whether it's working toward a degree or certification or just their next job up the ladder. The result is a more consistent, skilled workforce. Enjoy this episode with Patrick Michener… Soundbytes 9:42-10:05 “Our department is much more than just keepers of the green or caretakers. The science that's involved with turfgrass, the financial aspect, the business aspect, and most importantly, the leadership aspect. We're a significant portion or maybe even the most significant portion of a club that helps with the operation.” 16:33-16:56 “We always talk about nowadays with the superintendent that turf management skills are all table stakes. You either have them or you don't, and if you're at that superintendent level, it's likely that you have them. So then what's the difference or what's going to separate you from others?” Quotes “I've always felt you get out what you put into the industry.” “I love this job, I love what I do, I love the artistic aspect of it, the turf management aspect…but most of all, I really love developing the people that work with me and are on the leadership team day in and day out.” “I think every superintendent has it within them to bring that executive-level presence.” “Be as communicative as possible. Through good communication, all things are possible.” “Everybody is really just a flower waiting to bloom, is one thing I was told many years ago. Does everybody bloom? No, but many do if they're put in the right circumstances. I just try to put people in the right positions to be successful.” Links mentioned in this episode: Connect with Patrick on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/patrick-michener-77623591/

Burnout among private practice physicians has reached alarming proportions, with nearly 44% reporting at least one burnout symptom according to recent AMA studies. As medical professionals juggling multiple roles—healer, entrepreneur, and manager—we face unique challenges that can quickly deplete our passion and energy.Drawing from years of running my own successful practice, I share five evidence-based strategies that have transformed my professional life and helped countless colleagues avoid the burnout trap. The journey begins with adopting a growth mindset—viewing challenges as opportunities rather than threats to our competence. This psychological shift, backed by research from the Journal of Medical Education, significantly reduces stress when implementing new techniques or technologies.Technology emerges as a powerful ally in our fight against burnout. AI-augmented systems like medical scribes can save up to two hours of documentation time daily, allowing complete focus on patient interaction rather than record-keeping. Similarly, AI-enhanced practice management tools streamline administrative tasks that often drain our energy and enthusiasm.Personal wellbeing forms the foundation of professional resilience. Finding your own version of "zen"—whether on the golf course, fishing lake, or running trail—provides essential mental refreshment. These activities aren't luxury; research confirms they significantly reduce stress and prevent burnout when made non-negotiable parts of your schedule.Connection proves equally crucial. Through communities like MIFAS Elite, I've witnessed how shared experiences and mutual support create resilience against isolation. These networks provide both emotional support and practical solutions to common challenges. Rounding out the approach, psychological flexibility and self-compassion give us permission to adapt to changing demands while treating ourselves with the kindness we readily offer others.What burnout prevention strategies have worked for you?

Click here to send me a quick message :) We're all navigating so much right now. Collectively, relationally, personally.This week's episode explores three different frames for understanding and tending your nervous system when it's stretched, strained, burnt out or plain dysregulated.In addition to the collective unrest so many of us are feeling, this week I learned about the loss of John Gallagher (founder of Learning Herbs).What has struck me most about the loss (aside from honoring his immense legacy in modern herbalism) was that he was struggling. With insomnia, anxiety, and depression.And that the current political climate, including the potential for immense ecological loss, was part of what may have tipped his mental health struggles over the edge. It's just so big, all of it. And so many of us are feeling it.And whatever we're struggling with - collectively, relationally, personally - we're all navigating something right now. I want to acknowledge that, rather than gloss over it, and offer some resources and tools that may perhaps be useful for you in these tumultuous times. We all have to find our way, and we don't have to do it alone. Which reminds me of Alexandra Blakely's song:"you do not carry this all aloneno you do not carry this all alonethis is way too big for youto carry this on your ownso, you do not carry this all alone"It's not a song, or an herb, or a practice that will heal us. It's a collective practice that is ongoing.But if you're interested in some powerful ways to tend your nervous system in these times, listen to the wisdom from Efan Hsieh, Kristen Timchak and myself in this week's medley episode for some inspiration.** dedicating this episode to the memory of John Gallagher **Resources:Grab the free guide: Track your cycle with FAM (and symptom tracking)Today's shownotes: 3 paths to nervous system tending in tumultuous timesEpisode 41: How nature connection can calm burnout w Efan HsiehEpisode 50: Adaptogens + hormonal healthEpisode 97: Nourish your nervous system with Ayurveda w Kristen TimchakIf you loved this episode, share it with a friend, or take a screenshot and share on social media and tag me @herbalwombwisdomAnd if you love this podcast, leave a rating & write a review!

If you're doing any kind of cold calling or prospecting, you'll eventually hear this objection: "I'm in a meeting right now." Paul Wise, a heavy cold caller from Normandy, France targets product managers at software companies and says that nine times out of ten when he gets a decision-maker on the phone, they claim to be "in a meeting." Three Ways to Handle the "I'm in a Meeting" Prospecting Objection As I explained to Paul, how you respond in that moment can make or break your opportunity to move forward. First, let's acknowledge something important: If someone is genuinely in the middle of an important meeting, they typically don't answer calls from unknown numbers. The fact that they picked up your call suggests they may not be as unavailable as they claim. That said, they might be between meetings, heading into a meeting, or simply using this as a brush-off technique. Regardless of their true situation, you need an objection handling strategy. Based on my conversation with Paul, here are three effective approaches to handle this common situation: Approach #1: The Quick Pitch Strategy This is what Paul had been doing—when he gets someone on the phone who says they're in a meeting, he delivers his DMX (Decision Maker Express) pitch as quickly as possible, then tries to secure a meeting. Paul mentioned this sometimes works for him. He gets the meeting scheduled, then works hard to ensure they show up by engaging with them on LinkedIn, sending follow-up emails, and basically "surrounding" them with touch points. The upside: You've got them on the line, so why not take your shot? The downside: Rushing through your pitch can make you sound desperate and reduce your effectiveness. When to use it: If you have a high-energy personality and can deliver a compelling, concise pitch without sounding rushed, this approach can work. It's especially effective if you have a solid follow-up strategy to ensure they show up to the meeting. Approach #2: The Acknowledge and Pivot Strategy Instead of trying to pitch someone who's claimed to be busy, simply acknowledge their situation and pivot directly to scheduling: "I totally expected you to be in a meeting and not able to talk. That's exactly why I called—to find a time that's more convenient for you. Why don't I send you a meeting invite for Thursday at 2:00, and then we can get together when you do have time to talk?" This approach demonstrates respect for their time while simultaneously accomplishing your objective of setting an appointment. What happens next reveals a lot: If they agree to the meeting, you've accomplished your goal without the rushed pitch. If they ask, "Who are you again?" they're actually signaling they have more time than they initially let on. If they say they're not available Thursday, they're engaging in a scheduling conversation—which means they're interested enough to find an alternative time. When to use it: This works particularly well when you sense the prospect is genuinely busy but might be interested with the right approach. It's respectful, professional, and surprisingly effective. Approach #3: The Non-Complementary Behavior Strategy This is my personal favorite because it uses psychology to your advantage. When the prospect answers with high energy, saying they're busy or in a meeting, don't match their energy. Instead, deliberately slow down and use a calm, relaxed tone: "Totally get that. I figured you would be busy. Look, I only have two questions." Then—and this is critical—be quiet. Let the silence do the work. If they truly have no time, they'll hang up. But most won't. Instead, they'll likely say something like, "Okay, but go fast." Now you need to ask a question that gets them engaged—something they can easily answer that reveals qualification information: "How many data points are you connected to in your current configuration?" The magic happens in what follows:
