What if your CEO, ED, or key board member walked out tomorrow? Leadership transitions can shake nonprofits to the core—but they don't have to.

That moment when Vespa slides in elegantly, opposite James, all charming smile, razor-sharp wit and mighty brainpower, and says, “I'm the money”? Well, your host, Sarah Olivieri has been likened to Vespa by one of her clients – not just because she's charming, beautiful and brainy– but because that bold statement “I'm the money” was, as it turned out, right ON the money.

If “you” online isn't the same you who shows up in person, you're not alone.  Most founders haven't taken the time to align their personal identity with how they present themselves online. But that clarity–on the inside and out–is what gives your brand staying power. This is a special episode where I joined Jesse Paliotto on FastSpring's Growth Stage podcast to talk about personal branding, founder identity, and why branding from the inside out is the only way to build a business that lasts. The SOULiD Framework Every founder already has a personal brand. The question is–does yours reflect the essence of who you are? In this episode, I share the framework we've used with hundreds of entrepreneurs at brandiD to help them uncover their true differentiators, define their vision, and build a brand around what makes them unique.  Practical Tips for Founder Visibility We talk about the most common mistakes entrepreneurs make when they try to grow their brand–and what to focus on instead. I share how to do a quick audit of your digital presence (hint: it starts with a Google search), why AI can't replace real personality, and what every founder needs to know before they hit publish. Whether you're just getting started or working to build long-term visibility, this conversation will help you focus on what really moves the needle.

Even if you have a company, it's not so you don't feel like it's about building your personal brand, you should still point that vanity URL to your about page on your corporate site.” 11:01 - 11:18 “When we know what we stand for, we can talk about those things in a way, with conviction–and those also can be very sticky points, both in a positive and negative way to attract our ideal clients.” Quotes “Resilience as entrepreneurs, I think it's absolutely one of the top three qualities we need to be successful.” “In today's world, consumers are so much more savvy around companies they're supporting or not supporting.” “People don't think they have a personal brand.

Assessments are essential in ABA, but are we always using them the right way? Too often, assessments become a box-checking exercise rather than a true guide to meaningful intervention. In this conversation, we revisit the foundations of ABA assessments and explore how to move beyond simply filling in grids and scoring sheets.We look at some of the most widely used tools, including the ABLLS, VB-MAPP, and Early Start Denver Model, and share how to choose the right one for your learner. You'll learn why assessments are not the same as curriculum, and how mistaking one for the other can lead to cookie-cutter programs that miss individual needs. Instead, we highlight how assessments should serve as a starting point, giving you a baseline to individualize treatment goals and track progress over time.You'll also hear updates on newer tools like the MOTAS (Meaningful Outcomes Treatment and Assessment Scale) and the IGL (Inventory of Good Learner Repertoires), which can help bridge the gap between assessment data and real-world functional progress.If you've ever wondered how to make assessments feel less overwhelming and more impactful, this episode will give you practical strategies and a fresh perspective.What's Inside:Why assessments are not curriculumChoosing the right tool for the right learnerUpdates on MOTAS and IGL for functional outcomesTips for making assessments efficient and individualizedMentioned In This Episode:Check out our blog on assessmentsMeasuring What Matters: Meaningful Outcomes with the MOTAS Assessment CEU EventHowToABA.com/joinHow to ABA on YouTubeFind us on FacebookFollow us on Instagram

Now, she helps women reconnect with their bodies through a balanced approach that weaves together nutrition, mindful movement, and self-care. Her story is not only one of survival, but of reclaiming purpose and aligning wellness with leadership. Maddie dives into the personal health challenges that can arise in the wake of illness, from hormonal imbalances to stress-related symptoms. Maddie candidly reflects on her own experience with recovery and the lifestyle changes that helped her restore balance, including shifting from high-intensity workouts to strength training and yoga, and prioritizing protein-rich meals to stabilize energy and hormones. The conversation expands to highlight the overlooked realities of women's health, from PCOS and irregular cycles to the ways traditional studies have ignored female physiology. Listeners will gain practical insights into building sustainable wellness habits: nourishing the body with balanced meals, syncing workouts with menstrual cycles, managing cortisol through mindful movement, and embracing daily rituals like journaling, gratitude, and deep breathing to calm the nervous system. Maddie emphasizes that health is not about rigid routines, but about tuning into the body's signals and making adjustments that support long-term vitality. At its core, this episode reframes leadership and entrepreneurship through the lens of well-being. Maddie challenges the outdated narrative that success requires burnout and sacrifice, instead advocating for a model where women prioritize health as the foundation for growth, freedom, and fulfillment. Her reflections serve as a powerful reminder that honoring your body is not just a personal practice—it's a leadership strategy. Tune in to hear Maddie's inspiring story and learn how to cultivate balance, resilience, and true alignment in both business and life.

Develpreneur: Become a Better Developer and Entrepreneur

In this season of Building Better Developers with AI, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche revisit a past topic: 'Transform Your Projects: The Ultimate Guide to Effective User Stories.' This episode offers a fresh perspective on how teams can achieve greater success by writing better user stories. The hosts initially tackled this subject in an earlier season, but they return to it because the challenge remains timeless: poorly written user stories continue to derail software projects. This time, they dive deeper into lessons learned, customer-centric approaches, and frameworks that make user stories truly work. Why Writing Better User Stories Still Matters Rob opens with a familiar frustration: sitting in sprint planning and realizing the user stories don't make sense. Vague requirements create confusion, rework, and wasted effort. A user story is not a specification—it's a promise for a conversation that builds shared understanding. By writing better user stories, teams maintain focus on outcomes, rather than implementation. They deliver features that users actually need, instead of technical solutions that fall short. The Philosophy of Writing Better User Stories User stories should always: Stay customer-centric by focusing on what the user wants, not the technical details. Break down work into small, manageable chunks that improve agility and estimation. Emphasize outcomes over implementation, avoiding the trap of data tables and CSS classes too early. Rob illustrates this with the ATM example: “As a customer, I want to withdraw cash so that I can access money in my account.” This keeps the story grounded in the user's experience. The Anatomy of Writing Better User Stories At the core of writing better user stories is a simple formula that makes requirements clear and human: As a [user role] I want [goal] So that [reason] This framework ensures that every story is tied directly to a user's perspective, their needs, and the value they'll receive. However, strong stories extend beyond this sentence structure. Rob and Michael highlight two key frameworks that add depth and clarity: The Three C's – Card, Conversation, and Confirmation, which explain how stories spark dialogue and define “done.” The INVEST Model – Independent, Negotiable, Valuable, Estimable, Small, and Testable- is a checklist that helps teams evaluate whether a story is ready to move forward. Finally, one important reminder: each story should only have one meaning. If a story can be interpreted in multiple ways—or contains “if/then” scenarios—it should be split into smaller, more focused stories. This keeps the backlog clean and avoids confusion later in development. The Three C's of Writing Better User Stories 1. Card The card represents the user story itself. Traditionally, teams would write stories on index cards. Today, tools like Jira, Trello, or Asana take their place. The key is that the card is just a placeholder for a conversation, not the entire requirement. It captures the essence of the story but leaves room for discussion. 2. Conversation The conversation is where the real value happens. Developers, product owners, and stakeholders discuss the story, ask clarifying questions, and uncover details that weren't written down. These discussions ensure that the team shares a common understanding of the user's needs. Without this step, the story risks being too vague or misinterpreted. 3. Confirmation The confirmation defines how the team knows the story is complete. This typically takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases. Confirmation transforms a story from an idea into a verifiable piece of functionality. It answers the critical question: What does “done” look like? Card captures the idea. Conversation builds the understanding. Confirmation proves the work is complete. The INVEST Model for Writing Better User Stories The INVEST model is a simple but powerful checklist that helps ensure user stories are clear, practical, and actionable. Each letter represents a quality that a strong user story should have. Independent A good user story should stand on its own. That means it can be developed, tested, and delivered without being blocked by another story. Independence reduces dependencies and keeps projects moving smoothly. Negotiable User stories are not contracts carved in stone—they're open to discussion. Teams should be able to negotiate details, scope, and implementation during conversations. This flexibility encourages collaboration and prevents rigid requirements that may not fit real-world needs. Valuable If a story doesn't provide business or user value, it doesn't belong in the backlog. Every story should clearly tie back to outcomes that matter for the end-user or the organization. This keeps the team focused on delivering impact, not just features. Estimable A story should be clear enough that the team can estimate the effort to complete it. If it's too vague or too large, it can't be accurately sized. Estimable stories make sprint planning realistic and help track progress more effectively. Small Stories should be small enough to complete within a single iteration. Large stories, sometimes called “epics,” should be broken down into smaller, more manageable pieces. Small stories are easier to understand, estimate, and test. Testable Finally, a user story must be testable. The team needs to know how to verify it's “done.” This often takes the form of acceptance criteria or test cases, ensuring the functionality can be validated from the user's perspective. The INVEST model keeps stories clear, focused, and actionable. If a story fails any of these tests, refine it before moving forward. Lessons From the Trenches: Writing Better User Stories in Practice Michael highlights a recurring issue: customers often don't fully understand their “why.” They may use outdated paper trails, redundant processes, or even misuse tools they already own. Sometimes developers must reverse-engineer requirements by observing workflows, asking why at each step, and uncovering hidden pain points. Rob adds that trust plays a huge role—stakeholders may initially follow the “official” process, but only reveal their real practices after rapport is established. Avoiding Common Pitfalls Even with good intentions, stories can fall short when they are: Too vague or incomplete. Disconnected from actual business processes. Written without acceptance criteria. Michael stresses that implied requirements are dangerous. Developers should always strive for clearly defined acceptance criteria that leave no room for ambiguity or uncertainty. Practical Tips for Writing Better User Stories The hosts wrap up with actionable guidance for developers: Speak up – Don't code vague tickets without asking questions. Push for the “so that” – The business value matters most. Write acceptance criteria – Define what “done” means. Break down big stories – Smaller, testable stories are easier to validate. Stay user-focused – Keep technical details in subtasks, not in the story. Example: Bad: Add a contact form. Good: As a potential customer, I want to fill out a contact form with my name, email, and message, so that I can get in touch with the company about their services. This richer story sparks the right questions: Which fields are required? Should multiple contact methods be supported? These clarifications lead to solutions that match real needs. Final Thoughts By revisiting this subject, Rob and Michael remind us that user stories are more than backlog items—they are bridges between developers and customers. Writing better user stories keeps teams aligned, prevents rework, and ensures projects deliver meaningful results. Implied requirements are not good requirements. Defined requirements are good requirements. Stay Connected: Join the Developreneur Community We invite you to join our community and share your coding journey with us.

Inside Lyme Podcast with Dr. Daniel Cameron
Ten practical tips for Healthcare Providers to prevent chronic Lyme disease.

Inside Lyme Podcast with Dr. Daniel Cameron

Play Episode Listen Later Sep 2, 2025 6:18


Welcome. Here are ten practical tips for Healthcare Providers to prevent chronic Lyme disease. 1. Lyme Disease is Primarily a Clinical Diagnosis • While laboratory tests, like the two-tiered approach of ELISA followed by Western blot, can provide valuable support, Lyme disease diagnosis hinges on clinical judgment. The disease's early symptoms, such as the classic erythema migrans rash, fever, and joint pain, often present before the immune system has generated detectable antibodies. This means that the diagnosis is often made based on clinical presentation, particularly in endemic areas, even if tests are negative.2. Early Treatment Can Prevent Complications • The importance of early treatment in Lyme disease cannot be overstated. Studies have consistently shown that when antibiotics are administered promptly—ideally within weeks of infection—they can prevent the progression to more serious complications, such as Lyme arthritis, neuroborreliosis, and Lyme carditis. The window for optimal intervention is narrow, making early recognition and treatment vital.3. Co-Infections Are Common and Complicate the Picture • Ticks don't just carry Borrelia burgdorferi; they can also transmit other pathogens like Babesia microti, Bartonella henselae, and Anaplasma phagocytophilum. These co-infections can lead to overlapping or more severe symptoms and may require different or additional treatments. Research indicates that co-infections are present in up to 30% of Lyme disease cases, which underscores the importance of considering a broad differential diagnosis when symptoms persist.4. Lyme Disease Can Mimic a Range of Other Conditions • Known as "The Great Imitator," Lyme disease can present with symptoms that resemble those of multiple sclerosis, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, or chronic fatigue syndrome. This mimicry can lead to misdiagnoses, delaying proper treatment. It's crucial for healthcare providers to consider Lyme disease in their differential diagnosis, especially in patients with a history of tick exposure.5. Seronegative Lyme Disease is a Real and Recognized Phenomenon • Not all patients with Lyme disease will test positive on standard serologic tests, especially in the early stages or if they have received early antibiotic treatment. This phenomenon, known as seronegative Lyme disease, can make diagnosis challenging. Clinical studies suggest that up to 20-30% of early Lyme disease cases may be seronegative, which requires healthcare providers to rely on their clinical instincts and patient history.6. Post-Treatment Lyme Disease Syndrome (PTLDS) Requires Attention • PTLDS, affecting 10-20% of Lyme disease patients, presents a significant challenge. Symptoms like fatigue, pain, and cognitive difficulties persist long after the infection should have been cleared. The exact cause of PTLDS is still debated, with theories ranging from persistent infection to autoimmune dysfunction. What is clear, however, is that these patients need careful management and support, rather than dismissal.7. Prevention Through Tick Avoidance is Key • Preventing tick bites is the most effective strategy to avoid Lyme disease and its associated complications. This includes the use of insect repellents, wearing protective clothing, performing regular tick checks, and removing ticks promptly. Education about these preventive measures is essential, particularly in areas where Lyme disease is endemic.8. Rash is Not Always Present, but It's a Strong Indicator9. Lyme Disease is Expanding Beyond Traditional Regions10. Lyme Disease Can Affect Multiple Organ Systems

You see those grade-level checklists and stress out. How will you check off all the boxes? The better question is how to help each child grow at their own pace? In this episode we tackle the grade level myth, so kids can learn at their own pace. You'll discover practical ways an individualized learning plan helps your child gain confidence and real mastery in your homeschool.You'll hear real stories and step-by-step ideas you can try this week — assess strengths, adapt lessons, and celebrate mastery instead of chasing someone else's checklist.✅Why the one-room schoolhouse model was actually brilliant (and how it relates to your homeschool today)✅Real stories about kids who learned at their own pace and thrived (including my daughter who didn't know her times tables until algebra!)✅How individualized learning can turn apathy into excitement in your homeschool✅4 practical tips for teaching your kids at their own pace (even with multiple children)✅Why mastery matters more than checking off someone else's checklistRecommended Resource:FREE How to Simplify Your Homeschool - 3 part course Show Notes: The Problem with Grade-Level PressureHey everyone, Kerry Beck here with Homeschool Coffee Break, where we help you stop the stress and stop the overwhelm so you can actually take a coffee break.Today we are talking about the grade-level myth. It makes me think about 150 years ago, one-room schoolhouse, and the one-room schoolhouse actually did so much good. I've actually heard more modern, younger people say, well, the reason we have grade levels now is it's such a better way to teach our kids. Well, not really.The one-room schoolhouse was fantastic. It is how people have learned for centuries. So today, I want to sort of talk about this myth of grade level and the pressure.Do you feel pressure sometimes? Are my kids on grade level? Am I doing the right thing? I see parents that are stressing out if there is this grade level that doesn't match their child's ability.Why Parents Stress About Grade LevelsSo many moms worry about those grade-level expectations, which some professor probably made up. They're comparing themselves to other homeschoolers that are following the conveyor belt model. They are comparing themselves to public school benchmarks, and they're stressing out, or they are afraid their kids are going to fall behind.Will they really be prepared for life? And let's face it, who made the grade level checklist? Y'all heard me say it before, quit checking off the checklist, especially someone else's. Now, if you make your own checklist, that's what God's putting on your heart, that's a whole different story.Real Stories of Learning at Their Own PaceLet's talk about Sarah. Sarah's my little imaginary friend. She is 8 years old. Technically, she is in 3rd grade.She loves to read. She reads chapter books that are 2 or 3 levels ahead in grade level, so she's reading on a 5th or 6th grade level. She can discuss themes of the book, vocabulary, beyond her age.Sounds like my little granddaughter, who's 6 years old, and she just finished kindergarten, and she's reading chapter books. It's awesome. But you know, we all have different strengths and weaknesses, because poor little Sarah, my imaginary friend.She still struggles with subtraction and with borrowing. She hasn't yet even reached multiplication. This reminds me of my daughter, Gentry, who did not know her times tables until algebra.We actually pulled her off of math for a whole year in seventh grade. But we let her go at her own pace, and she's an adult, 35 years old, and doing okay.From a parent's perspective, you see that grade level checklist says, Sarah should be multiplying by now, and then you stress out. You panic, and you're like, oh no, Sarah is behind.Don't worry about it. Let them move along at their own pace. Now, if they're moving along at their own pace because they're lazy and they're not doing the work, that's a whole different story. That's character, and we can talk about that in a future episode.How Individualized Learning WorksWhen we have individualized learning, some kids can dive really deep into certain topics. There are going to be fewer gaps in their learning, and it can build confidence and motivation. If it's something that they are especially if you're going in their interest as well.My friend had a son who was Hunter's age. Hunter was 6, and they're all learning to read, but not Will. Will didn't learn to read till he was 10 or 12 years old.Once he did, he went flying past all the kids on his grade level. You see, Hunter could sort of be on that grade level. He didn't like to read at the time, he does now. That's another thing. So, he moved along at whatever the grade level was, but Will didn't.His mom had to adapt his lessons for him, but once he took off, he skyrocketed.It reminds me of my second imaginary friend, James. James is 13 years old. His parents noticed, you know what, he sure loves tinkering with electronics and machines.James' parents let him slow down in some of the traditional subjects and dive really deep into his science projects. This built tons of momentum. He became motivated to finish his other subjects faster, so he could get over to his science time, because he loved it. That was just who he was. It's how God had made him.He confidently began building circuits and even tutoring some of his friends in physics. You see, individualized learning, it turned apathy into excitement. He may not have liked his reading class, which Hunter didn't, but I could let him pursue science, and he loved it.Practical Tips for Teaching at Your Child's PaceHow can we teach at our kids' own pace? You're like, I've got 5 kids, how can I do this? Well, first of all, assess your kids' strengths and weaknesses before starting.If you didn't do this this week, I would really encourage you to look at their strengths and weaknesses and write them down. Pay attention to them. I didn't really need a test to know if my child knew the math concept, because I was grading their papers every day, and more than likely, you are, too.And pray about it. God's going to show you their strengths and weaknesses and where He wants you to focus this year. So do a little assessment.Tip 2: Adjust your lesson plans, adjust your curriculum to match their level. Will's mom did a lot of adapting in elementary school. He was not doing the same thing that a third grader would do in reading, because he still didn't know how to read.I did some adapting with Gentry. She did not like math. So in seventh grade, we just said, okay, no more math. Now, that wasn't forever, but it was for one year. And you know what? She did perfectly fine.Flexible Scheduling and Mastery Over CompletionUse some sort of flexible scheduling. You might need to repeat some lessons, or you may need to pause some lessons without guilt. Like, I paused math without guilt. I'm like, we needed to change the attitude before we worried about whatever the next math lesson was.So, you may need to repeat, and mastery is so much more important. It's better. When I was a public school teacher, you got your grade and you moved on. It didn't matter if you really learned it, you're just going to keep moving on.Celebrate mastery, not just a grade-level check, check it off, completion. I love Phonetic Zoo. There's no grade levels in it. You must pass every spelling test twice with 100% before you go on. That means you've mastered it. Matthew C, same kind of thing. They are all about mastering it.It's okay if your kids learn faster than expected, or slower than expected. I was not a reader growing up. I can do it, I can get a good grade in it, but I wasn't that good at it. I loved math. Now, did that make a difference? No. Was I behind, I'm sure, vocabulary? I was always behind. I think I'm still behind in vocabulary.It's okay, your kids will still turn out to be adults who can take care of themselves. Don't worry about that grade level checklist.Final EncouragementI really want to encourage you to focus on your kids' growth, not comparing them to social media, or to the public school, or to the other homeschoolers in your area. Just know that individualized learning creates lifelong learners. It's better to slow down and learn it well than to just rush through it and not really learn anything. That's a schooling, not an education.Be flexible. Give yourself grace and patience, give your kids grace, and be patient. That is going to be a better outcome for you and for your kids, especially for your kids. You're stressing your kids, you're stressing yourself out if all you're doing is looking at all the grade level, all the rigidity from grade level.Teaching at your own pace builds confidence, mastery and joy in the learning.Would you please leave a comment and let me know what is one subject area that you are going to assess your children and adjust the pacing to fit each of your children this week? If you need help on assessment, How to Simplify My Homeschool is a free course that will be listed in the show notes.

We think fitness is about the body. But in truth, it begins in the story we tell ourselves. In this conversation with Jake Parker, we explore fitness not as a battle of discipline, but as a shifting of identity. Humans evolved in a world of scarcity where every calorie mattered. Now, in a world of abundance, that same wiring works against us. The magic, Jake suggests, is in designing new defaults. Defaults where exercise becomes an act of self-kindness, food choices become votes for the person you want to be, and consistency becomes less a grind and more a groove. Fitness then stops being a task and starts becoming a story of who you are becoming.

Are you ready to have more energy, thriving health, and lasting peace—but feel like you're constantly stuck in survival mode? In this episode, we talk about the hidden trade-off behind every decision: every “yes” you say is also an automatic “no” to something else. If you want to step into a season of better health and peace, you'll need to get intentional about what you allow in—and what you choose to cut out. This episode is especially for Christian women who are balancing family, health struggles, homeschooling, and busy schedules, and who want to align their choices with God's design for wellness. You'll walk away with practical examples, biblical encouragement, and motivation to say yes to the things that matter most—and no to the distractions holding you back.

Distractions like social media, overspending, or too much TV quietly rob you of peace and energy. Even good commitments may need to be set aside for a season in order to rest and recharge. Productivity isn't just about time management—it's about attention management. Saying no helps you protect your God-given energy, peace, and priorities. Practical Tips to Protect Your Peace Focus on attention management rather than cramming more into your schedule. Replace multitasking with single-tasking for greater energy and focus.
