Yan talks about his recent bear hunting adventures in Northern Honshu and the rising bear attacks in Japan.

Yon also connects these themes to current events in Japan, Thailand, Venezuela, Argentina, and the U.S., offering a detailed historical context that ties everything together. The conversation explores the importance of being adaptable in changing times and underscores the significance of private initiatives and self-sufficiency in the face of globalist agendas.

If you're a company operating globally, foreign exchange (FX) risk is a significant threat that can instantly erode profits and derail strategic forecasts. In this episode of Corporate Finance Explained on Finpod, we unpack how corporate treasury teams manage this constant volatility, moving beyond simple definitions to explore the strategic calculus of hedging.We examine three dimensions of FX risk and how a structured hedging toolkit, utilizing forwards, options, and natural hedges, is applied by global firms such as Unilever and Caterpillar to ensure financial stability.The Three Dimensions of FX RiskFinance professionals categorize FX risk into three types, each requiring a different management response:Transaction Risk: The most common risk, tied to immediate cash flows. The currency rate changes between invoicing and receiving payment (e.g., selling in Euros, collecting fewer Dollars later).Translation Risk: A non-cash risk that arises when a parent company consolidates foreign subsidiary financial statements, affecting the reported value of assets/liabilities on the balance sheet.Economic Risk: The long-term structural impact on a company's fundamental competitiveness (e.g., manufacturing costs becoming structurally higher due to a sustained currency strengthening).The Corporate Hedging ToolkitTreasury teams use a combination of financial derivatives and operational strategies to manage these exposures:Forward Contract: Locks in an exchange rate for a future date, providing certainty. Trade-Off: Inflexibility; you miss out on any favorable rate movements.FX Option: Gives the right (not the obligation) to transact at a strike price. Trade-Off: Costly Premium paid upfront for the flexibility.Currency Swap: Exchanging principal and/or interest payments over a set period. Trade-Off: Complexity and long duration.Natural Hedge: Operational strategy to match inflows and outflows in the same currency. Requires C-suite level strategic change (e.g., local sourcing) but avoids derivative costs.Strategic Insights and Lessons Learned:Discipline is Crucial: The cautionary tale of Volkswagen's billion-euro FX losses highlights the danger of crossing the line from risk protection into speculation.Mastering the Policy: Companies like Unilever and Caterpillar use a disciplined, integrated strategy: focusing on natural hedges where possible, and using layered financial hedging (e.g., simple forwards for 6-12 months out) for stability, not profit.The Hedging Framework: Finance teams do not hedge 100% of exposure. The decision to hedge is based on a three-factor funnel: Materiality (is the exposure big enough to matter?), Predictability (how certain is the cash flow?), and Correlation (do existing natural hedges offset the risk?).Constant Currency Disclosure: FP&A teams provide constant currency results to investors, stripping out FX noise to ensure the market understands the core operational health of the business.

Topics:Early Fundraising MistakesCulture of Constructive DebateUsing Data for Value Creation ...and so much more.Top TakeawaysSimplicity is a fundraising advantage. New managers often try to stand out with creative structures or mixed strategies. Instead, make it easy for investors to say “yes”: standard 2/20 terms, one defined strategy, three memorable differentiators, and an ongoing dialogue with investors. Predictability builds trust—and trust raises funds.Healthy debate drives better decisions. Rotunda's culture is built on one principle: “Disrespect the idea, respect the colleague.” Every voice—associate or senior—is encouraged to challenge assumptions and pressure-test deals, but never the person presenting them. And if alignment isn't there, the deal is dropped. Forcing a divided deal almost always costs more than the opportunity lost.Strategy maps make execution measurable. Before closing a deal, Rotunda aligns with management on a 3- to 5-year vision, defining success through clear EBITDA targets, growth priorities, milestones, etc. Post-close, that strategy map becomes a living document reviewed monthly and used to guide board discussions. Every new opportunity is tested against it. If it's not on the map, it waits unless the team agrees to revise the plan. The result is sharper alignment, disciplined execution, and fewer “shiny object” distractions.Execution creates optionality. John's mantra “Get Sh*t Done” captures his belief that motion beats perfection. At Rotunda, that mindset led to bold experimentation: hiring data scientists before it was common, testing new pricing models, and launching analytics projects. Every executed idea broadens perspective and adds insight. Stack enough of them, and you create optionality.

With 20+ years of experience across debt and equity investing, he's built a reputation for pairing disciplined execution with data-driven decision-making.

You've built the systems. You've set the routines. You've done everything “right.” So why aren't you seeing results? In this episode, we unpack the surprising reason why so many principals work hard, stay organized, and still feel like their schools aren't moving forward. Predictability and consistency sound like the markers of success—but when your systems aren't grounded in your vision, mission, and core values, they create motion without momentum. You'll discover the difference between being predictable, consistent, and stable, understand which one actually builds trust and results, and get a quick three-question test to see where your school stands right now. By the end, you'll know how to turn all that effort into results you can count on  #LikeABuilder.

I'm Josh Kopel, a Michelin-awarded restaurateur and the creator of the Restaurant Scaling System. I've spent decades in the industry, building, scaling, and coaching restaurants to become more profitable and sustainable. On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I dive into how to turn restaurant events into true profit centers instead of simple marketing stunts. I explain why events should be treated as products with clear margins and measurable results, and how that mindset shift can transform your bottom line. I walk through the systems I use to plan, price, and evaluate events so they drive both revenue and brand loyalty.  TakeawaysEvents should make money twice: at the ticket sale and through repeat customers.A great event is a product with a defined cost and profit margin.Hope is not a strategy; measurement is essential for success.Predictability in events leads to increased profitability.Full rooms do not guarantee profit; focus on fat margins instead.Every event should have a clear conversion goal.Delete 'awareness' from marketing vocabulary; prioritize revenue.Audit past events to understand profitability.Create a 12-month event calendar with repeatable, profitable events.Reprice events for margin, not just fill rate.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Marketing Strategies01:50 Transforming Events into Profit Centers05:44 Actionable Steps for Event ProfitabilityIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

What does it look like to go from feeling financially overwhelmed to fully owning your money story?In this episode of Money Files, I sit down with my client Clara, a hairstylist in Washington, D.C., who transformed the way she managed her finances. Before working together, Clara earned good money but constantly wondered, “Where is it all going?” Like many 1099 earners, her income fluctuated, and without a system, that led to stress, uncertainty, and missed opportunities.Together, we built a framework that gave her structure, clarity, and confidence. Clara learned how to separate her business and personal finances, plan for taxes, and create a simple system that helped her build savings and prepare for slower seasons. With her new mindset and money plan, she stopped stressing about her finances, bought her first home, and even planned an international trip, without panic or guilt.This conversation is about more than numbers; it's about what happens when you finally take ownership of your financial life.Listen in to learn:[02:15] How Clara realized she needed help managing her money[05:00] Why accountability and structure are key to financial success[08:25] How she stopped stressing over inconsistent income[11:40] How she prepared for slow business seasons with confidence[15:20] The mindset shift that helped her buy her first home[18:40] How she learned to fit her lifestyle into her budget instead of restricting it[21:45] Building confidence to earn more and plan for retirementTune into this episode of Money Files to hear how Clara went from overwhelmed to empowered and how financial coaching helped her build a system that supports her goals and her peace of mind.Get full show notes and the episode transcript: https://wealthovernow.com/financial-predictability-how-clara-created-financial-ease-as-a-hairstylist/Links mentioned in this episode…Set up a call | Financial Coach Washington, DC | Wealth Over NowDownload my FREE spending plan

Episode 279 of The Business Development Podcast, The 10 Unspoken Laws of Trust, dives deep into the unseen foundation behind every successful relationship, deal, and opportunity: trust. Kelly explores how trust shapes human behavior, why it's not automatic despite being essential to society, and the ten unspoken laws that quietly govern how we build and maintain it. From honesty and reciprocity to fairness, accountability, and transparency, this episode uncovers the hidden social and biological frameworks that make trust the cornerstone of business and life.In the second half, Kelly breaks down how to intentionally build trust in business development using five powerful steps rooted in human psychology. He explains how safety, consistency, competence, empathy, and follow-through work together to calm the brain's natural defense system and open the door to real connection. The result is a masterclass on transforming reliability into loyalty — and why, in a world full of noise, predictability and authenticity are the ultimate business advantage.Key Takeaways: 1. Trust is the silent force that drives every deal, relationship, and opportunity in business development—it's the real currency behind every transaction.2. Society relies on trust to function, but it's not automatic because our biology evolved to protect us before it connects us.3. Words and promises form the foundation of trust; when they're broken, the entire system of communication and reliability collapses.4. Fairness, accountability, and reciprocity are natural laws of trust that make cooperation possible and keep relationships stable.5. Predictability is the cornerstone of trust—when people know what to expect, their fear response quiets and loyalty forms.6. Transparency builds safety; secrecy breeds suspicion. Sharing your process and progress openly earns long-term confidence.7. Reputation is trust's shortcut—each fulfilled promise becomes proof of credibility and a signal to others that you're dependable.8. Trust isn't built on perfection, but on consistency; reliability over time is what transforms confidence into loyalty.9. To earn trust faster, focus on emotional safety, consistency, competence, empathy, and follow-through in every interaction.10. The goal of business development isn't to persuade—it's to help the human nervous system decide, “I'm safe with you,” because that's when opportunity.

In this episode of The ADHD Parenting Podcast, hosts Ryan Wexelblatt and Mike McLeod explore what it means to “step into your parental authority.” Drawing from research and clinical experience, they discuss how authoritative parenting—balancing warmth with structure—helps children with ADHD develop self-regulation, emotional safety, and independence. The hosts challenge social media's rebranding of permissive parenting as “gentle” or “compassionate” and explain why consistency, clear expectations, and calm modeling are key. They also tackle the fears many parents have about being “too firm,” offering practical examples of how to set limits with empathy and predictability while nurturing connection and confidence in their children.

Sometimes you hear something that makes you just stop and say, “What did you say?!”. Yep, in this episode we will give evidence-based answers to three questions that I heard TODAY that made me stop and ask, “What did you say?”. In this episode we will cover: 1. Umbilical cord blood collection from a monochorionic twin gestation, 2. Predictability of the mBPP compared to full BPP, and 3. Breastfeeding during postpartum cannabis use (this last one is not so intuitive as you would think, and there is new ACOG guidance on this which we will review). Listen in for details!1.

From AI disruption to global conflicts, today's business leaders face unprecedented challenges in forecasting and planning. Pete shares insights from his soon-to-be-launched Predictable Scale course, including how he's using AI avatars to create educational content and the frameworks that have helped Databox navigate uncertainty. The conversation covers the critical relationship between strategy and predictability, why messy data sabotages your plans, and why focusing on fewer initiatives often yields better results than spreading your bets. Follow Pete Caputa: LinkedIn: Pete CaputaDataboxRegister for the upcoming webinar: Predictable Planning in Messy Markets -> October 23rd at 11:30am ET!For updates on new episodes, follow us on:LinkedIn: Lift Enablement, Doug Davidoff, Jess CardenasSubscribe to our YouTube channel!You can access the show notes and watch the video version of the show on our page. Thanks for listening and remember to just say no to shitty RevOps!

In this episode of Beyond Chronic Burnout, host Carole Jean Whittington sits down with Dr. Adam “Dutch” Hazlett, professor, disability inclusion expert, and Fulbright Specialist in Education, to explore his PB&J framework—Predictability, Balance, and Joy—a practical guide to supporting neurodivergent individuals in moving beyond survival into true thriving.Together, they discuss:

Key Themes:Why predictability is just as important as consistency.How leaders act as emotional barometers for their teams.The “Staubism”: Be the anchor, not the stone.Why routines help calm anxiety during chaos.The paradox of consistency vs. adaptability in leadership.Practical ways to be transparent without overpromising.Why leaders need personal outlets to recharge (books, golf, shows, etc.).The ultimate takeaway: Be reliably present. www.YourHealth.Org

John Batchelor is the host of the Friends of History Debating Society. He broadcasts from New England, where he is currently entering autumn, contrasting with Jeremy Zakis's springtime in New South Wales. He refers to Jeremy Zakisas his "good mate." Batchelor often guides the conversation with Jeremy Zakis, asking about: The climate in Sydney, inquiring about expected rain, El Niño, and the predictability of the weather. He describes the unpredictable climate as "the beginning of a science fiction thriller." Batchelor notes that discussing springtime with Jeremy is "far more interesting" than preparing his own garden for winter's colder days. He also discusses python sightings, specifically mentioning a photograph of two pythons battling on a library roof on the Sunshine Coast, questioning if such an event is ordinary for an urban area. He emphasizes that he is in New England, in the "northern temperate zone," while Jeremy Zakis is in the "southern temperate zone."

The weakness of our current version of AI is that it extracts its knowledge only from what we have taught it.Things that are rarely done are difficult for AI to imitate.AI has confidence in things that are repeated online ad infinitum.*Predictable ads follow the orthodox guidelines taught in every college in America. AI can find countless examples of these ads online. This is why AI can write predictable ads that look, feel, sound and smell like all those other predictable ads.Predictability is a thief that robs you in broad daylight.If you want your ads to remarkably outperform the predictable ads written by AI; if you want your ads to be noticed and remembered; you must do what is rarely done.Enter your subject from a new angle, a surprising angle, a different angle.Write an opening line that makes no sense.Cause that opening line to make perfect sense in less than 30 seconds.This technique is known as Random Entry and almost no one ever uses it.“I'm John Hayes and I'm talking today with GoGo Gecko.”“I was a 10-year-old boy holding a flashlight for my father.”“Mr. Jenkins?”“Yes, Bobby.”“How much should a hamster weigh?”“There's Elmer Fudd, Elmer's Glue, and me, Elmer Zubiate.”Random Entry is not orthodox. Random Entry is not predictable.“What makes our company, our product, our service different from our competitors?”If you ask yourself that question, you will come up with the same 3 or 4 opening lines that each of your competitors will come up with when they ask those same questions. Your ads, and their ads, will look, feel, sound and smell like ads.When you begin in a predictable way, it is hard to be unpredictable.AI ads feel like ads because AI cannot (1.) identify, (2.) justify, or (3.) rectify Random Entry.Identify.AI cannot find examples of what does not exist. But you can create it.Justify.AI cannot bridge a random opening line into an unrelated subject. But you can build that bridge.Rectify.AI cannot reconcile a random opening line so that it makes perfect sense. But you can create a metaphor out of thin air.When a novel becomes a bestselling book that gets made into a movie, you can be certain that it was built upon a weird and unexpected – but highly engaging – opening line.“Call me Ishmael.”– Herman Melville, Moby-Dick“Where's Papa going with that axe?”– E.B. White, Charlotte's Web“Many years later, as he faced the firing squad, Colonel Aureliano Buendía was to remember that distant afternoon when his father took him to discover ice.”– Gabriel García Márquez, One Hundred Years of Solitude“It was a bright cold day in April, and the clocks were striking thirteen.”– George Orwell, 1984“Happy families are all alike; every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.”– Leo Tolstoy, Anna KareninaChoose any one of those opening lines and tell your favorite AI to write an ad for your business using EXACTLY that line as the opening line. If your AI is successful, it will be due to the fact that you gave it a series of extremely insightful prompts. (Probably based on some of the things you learned in this Monday Morning Memo.)Srinivas Rao recently wrote, “Confessions of a Master Bullshit Artist, aka ChatGPT.”You think I'm a genius. I'm not. I'm an overconfident parrot in a lab coat.I don't know anything, check anything...

Listen to today's podcast... Back to school and the kick-off of fall can be exciting and full of energy. It may also be dreadful for both children and parents. Not many parents cherish the thought of forgotten textbooks, missing permission slips, making lunches or lost backpacks. For many children, success is dependent on their ability to effectively manage the stress of the morning routine.  For both parents and children, having to deal with morning chaos can throw everyone off course. So what can you do to reduce your stress? Enlist everyone's help in establishing a smooth morning and evening routine. Decide what needs to be done, who can do it and who is responsible for it. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Reducing Back To School Chaos: Post a calendar of all weekly or monthly events and activities. Predictability helps to relieve anxieties. By seeing what needs to be accomplished for the week ahead, everyone can plan to complete tasks accordingly. Do not over-schedule. If it starts to look crowded on the calendar, it is probably going to increase the difficulty in transitioning. Establish a ‘drop zone'. Have a set place for everything so that it is all easily and predictably found. And finally, keep a sense of humour. This is not the time to panic, get angry or impatient. It sets an awful flavour for the rest of the day. If you like today's wellness tips, let me know.

Payment problems aren't about “bad parents.” They're about broken systems.In this episode of the Schools of Excellence podcast, Chanie exposes the hidden money leak that's quietly draining schools: payment systems. From failed cards and ignored invoices to outdated agreements and manual chasing, every gap in your tuition process pulls focus and drains energy.You'll hear real client stories, from a $15,000 recovery in failed payments to a 90% drop in late tuition within one billing cycle and walk away with practical steps to finally stop chasing money and start leading with clarity.If you're tired of payroll Fridays filled with stress and spreadsheets, this conversation will help you install systems that protect your cash flow, your culture, and your peace of mind.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy most tuition issues are about systems, not parentsThe #1 step to immediately reduce late paymentsHow to install a proactive collection process (not a “hope and faith” system)The role of late fees in protecting your standards and cash flowWhy payment agreements must be reviewed and stored digitallyKey InsightsBroken payment systems = hidden money leaks.Hope is not a collection system. Predictability is.Enforcing policies isn't mean, it protects your staff and your culture.Outdated agreements open the door for confusion and chaos.Memorable Quotes“If you're still chasing tuition, you don't have a payment system, you have a hope and faith system.”“Late fees aren't punishment.

We happen to work with a lot of contractors, but it doesn't really matter what type of business you're in. There are so many business owners that want to scale their product, actually grow the value of their product. They want to go from selling a product or service that's X and offers X at this price, to being able to 2x or 5x it—make it more robust, bigger, or whatever. We talk about these systems all the time. Implementing effective systems to ensure consistent profitability is a critical aspect of not only running a business but also being able to scale a product. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Let's talk about this idea, and I want to give you a real-world example of a client of ours. I'll share his name—got his permission—who was able to 5x his project size. We only asked a couple of key questions, and I want to walk you through that. My buddy Sean Supple, who owns Supple Homes out of Menlo Park and Palo Alto in the Silicon Valley area of California, was laboring away at this wonderful home building company. They were servicing a lot of $2–3 million projects, which, depending on where you live, is a significant project size. But Sean knew he and his team were capable of taking on more unique opportunities, particularly in their market, and they wanted to go after those. Like most contractors, cash flow was always an issue due to the expense of running a business. With 78–82% cost of goods, plus the realities of the Silicon Valley market, it was a challenge. So Sean and his team committed to subdividing their bank accounts—something we talk about all the time. By cutting up their dollars and placing them in separate “homes,” they could see where the money was and also map out their entire process. They created a master process roadmap, even distilled into learning pathways, and committed to RPM communication (Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning). That meant regular agenda-driven, leader-led, one-hour team meetings, departmental meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and executive-level meetings. But what they found themselves needing was a more meaningful marketing plan. So we asked this one key question—the one I want you to write down: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? We meet so many business owners who want to hire outsourced marketing firms. That's fine, but the reality is they're chasing new pathways when often the answer is in plain sight. Building new channels is like building a building—it takes years of groundwork. Instead, look back and ask: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? For Sean, the answer was easy: architects. Rather than wasting resources on random efforts, we mapped out a simple, intentional, repetitive, predictable, and meaningful outreach process to a basic list of local architects. Within a few months, Supple Homes began securing larger, more complex projects by nurturing those existing relationships. Sean and his team built financial processes, marketing processes, sales/conversion processes, and operational processes. This gave both his team and prospective clients confidence in their ability to deliver on larger, more challenging projects. The impact of Sean's new commitment to process implementation went far beyond immediate financial gains. By maintaining a solid cash balance—something many contractors struggle with—they no longer had to rely on borrowed money, credit lines, or constant lending. Instead, with subdivided cash and clear processes, they sustained financial stability and gained the confidence to take on larger projects. As a result, Sean and his team successfully transitioned from handling $2–3 million projects to $8–11 million projects. Yes, the market helped, but the real key was their strong financial foundation. Winning projects is one thing; delivering them profitably and on schedule is another. Sean's story illustrates several key points for contractors looking to improve profitability: Regular financial tracking—even if only a few minutes a week—can greatly improve cash flow management. Subdividing bank accounts helps visualize and control finances. Much of cash management is more about psychology than the dollar itself. Control your money rather than letting it control you. Maintaining a healthy cash balance provides confidence and capability to take on larger projects. Cash gives you options. Without it, your options shrink. Improved processes and profitability allow reinvestment in the business, employee incentives, and personal profit—all critical for long-term success. By implementing these systems, you can achieve the kind of growth Sean did. Markets will rise and fall, but preparation and process allow you to handle whatever comes your way. So remember this key question: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? And what systems do you have to repetitively, predictably, and meaningfully mine that 80%? Because that's where most of your future business will likely come from as well. We can help you map this out. If you'd like a one-time consulting opportunity with us, go to businessonpurpose.com, fill out the contact form, and we'll walk you through options to get kickstarted. And if you want to work with us long term, we'll explain how that works too.

The new Premier League season promised a fresh push for Champions League places, but two games in and Villa are yet to score. In the latest episode of the My Old Man Said podcast, we dive into the concerning signs already emerging.Villa's limp 1-0 defeat at Brentford felt all too familiar — predictability in attack, questionable tactical tweaks, and a severe lack of aggression or width. Despite boasting over 75% possession, Emery's side struggled to break down a Brentford team who've promoted their set piece coach as manager and had key players stripped out over the summer.UTVGET AD-FREE SHOWS and JOIN MATCH CLUBIf you want ad-free advance versions of the shows and extra exclusive shows during the month and to join My Old Man Said's 24/7 Villa community, Match Club, please do support the show by becoming a MOMS Member.For more details and to become a member, click here: Become a MOMS MemberFollow the show on:X/Twitter at @myoldmansaid / Threads at @myoldmansaid / Bluesky at @myoldmansaid and join the show's listener facebook group The Mad Few.Credits:David Michael - @myoldmansaid Chris Budd - @BUDD_musicPhillip Shaw - @prsgameMy Old Man Said - https://www.myoldmansaid.comGet your MOMS EXCLUSIVE NordVPN deal here ➼ https://nordvpn.com/momsThis Podcast has been created and uploaded by My Old Man Said.

What if understanding how your brain actually works was the key to unlocking higher performance, better decisions, and more resilient leadership? Many leaders focus on strategies and skills without realizing that lasting change starts by rewiring how we think.Fortunately, this week's guest brings decades of experience helping leaders do just that. Larry Olsen is an expert in performance-driven neurology, a best-selling author, and the founder of Aperneo. He works with organizations to harness the power of neuroscience to shift mindsets, break through limiting beliefs, and create sustainable high performance.In this episode, Larry explains the crucial difference between the brain and the mind, why predictability can actually work against leadership growth, and how to identify and replace the beliefs that hold you back. You'll learn about neuroplasticity—your brain's ability to change—and how to apply practical “brain hacks” to transform your thinking and your results.In the extended episode, Larry dives deeper into applying these insights in everyday leadership, including how to coach teams through change and build a culture of mindset mastery.Podcast Plus members get access to the extended episode, guest bonuses, and more.

Nick Fransen, a licensed acupuncturist and functional medicine specialist shares an astonishing truth that our behaviors and results in life are 95% predictable based on how we were programmed as a child, and why affirmations, visualizations, and meditation will rarely break these deeper negative subconscious patterns.

Recently, Ashley and I have had the privilege of meeting with some young couples and talking to them as they're just coming into marriage or preparing to be married. They often ask us a variety of questions, as you would expect from anyone talking to a couple who's been married for a while. One of the big issues that consistently comes up early in marriage—and continues to show up later—is the issue of money. That's been true in our marriage as well. It makes sense that money and finances are also a very real issue for business owners, especially those who are married and both spouses work in the business. So let's have that discussion. I think it's really helpful, and I want to drill it down to one financial dashboard that can bring clarity. Because that's our ultimate goal—to liberate you from chaos and make time for what matters most. By the way, my name is Scott Beebe. If we haven't met yet, I'm part of the Business On Purpose team. A lot of times we meet people who say, “Hey, I've got a vision for what I want to do.” Great! We help you write that down. We've got a vision story framework that does that well. One of the next steps is to build out your financial dashboard. This involves subdividing your cash accounts and will help you gain a much clearer picture of your actual financial health. Instead of lumping everything into one, two, or three bank accounts, it requires about six or more. Now, I know that sounds hard, but I promise it's not. Once we do that, we can begin to isolate the cash in your business and start tracking different aspects of your finances. By breaking your finances into categories, you can more easily monitor the flow of cash. We like to say “flow of cash” instead of just “cash flow,” because for many, that term brings to mind complex reports. This method also allows you to allocate resources effectively and make informed decisions—because now you can actually see where the cash goes. It's kind of like Dave Ramsey for business. Having that level of monetary organization lets you track progress toward any kind of goals—generosity goals, profit goals, reinvestment goals, and more. You can adjust your strategy as needed. Visioning and financial planning is not a one-time event. (And when I say financial planning, I don't mean what a financial planner does—I mean you allocating cash to plan the future of your business.) It's something we must regularly revisit and refine as the business grows and evolves. So, what can you do first? Start with a simple spreadsheet to track your cash balance every single week. You might ask, “Can we do this in QuickBooks or Xero?” Theoretically, yes. But you usually won't—and it serves as a great discipline to do it manually. That foundational step of a spreadsheet allows you to create a realistic budget for the year ahead. Look at your existing profit and loss statements and chart of accounts. If you don't know where to start, look at last year's P&L. That's a great starting point. Don't worry about being precise with your budget at first. Budgeting is more of an art than a science. Once you've got your vision statement and a basic financial dashboard in place, it's time to build out your organizational structure. So now you've got a vision and a financial dashboard—now build an organizational structure to know who's going to handle the financial “fuel” driving the business forward. Think of this like creating a skeleton for your business, similar to the human body. Instead of focusing on specific individual names, focus on the roles. We say “role first, people agnostic.” This lets you structure your business based on responsibilities instead of personalities. Next, identify and map out each process required to run your business. You've got a vision, a simple dashboard, subdivided bank accounts, and a consistent snapshot of those accounts. Now you can create an org chart to know who's doing what—and then define what they're doing. These processes fall into four core systems: marketing, sales, operations, and admin. List the processes under each of these categories. You don't need detail yet—just broad items like “website,” “social media,” or “outbound calls.” This gives you an overview of your operations. Once that's in place, you can map out your company culture using what we call the “Anchor.” You've got your vision, your cash tracking, your roles, and your processes. But how do you build culture into that? Use the Anchor. Create another spreadsheet. List the weeks of the year across the top and your cultural elements along the left-hand side. These could include team meetings, performance reviews, birthday celebrations, anniversary celebrations, training schedules, and more. Then plot these cultural events across the calendar. Assign one person to manage the Anchor and you'll have a visual representation of your business's RPM culture—Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning. It's about creating a framework. It doesn't have to be perfect from the start. The goal is to have these pieces in place and work them with consistency. As you implement these steps, you'll gain a much clearer picture of your business's structure, finances, and culture. It allows you to make better decisions and build a stronger foundation for growth. So we started with money—realizing that money is just fuel. It's a tool to pursue your vision, build clarity around your structure, understand your processes, and foster your culture using simple, actionable tools. If you don't know where to start, here are five good tools to begin with: Vision Story – Lay out where you're going. Financial Dashboard – Track your cash. Organizational Structure – Clarify roles and responsibilities. Processes – Know what needs to be done. Anchor – Build and maintain your culture. That's the glue that holds everything together. So just like those young couples ask, “Where do we start with money?” I've just walked you through five simple tools to start building intentionality into your business. Why? So you can be liberated from chaos and make time for what matters most. Hey—make sure to go to mybusinessonpurpose.com. You can check us out there.

In this episode, I'm breaking down the hidden flex of being predictable. Back in my hoop days, I spent way more time practicing than playing, and while my drills were full of fancy moves, my game play was simple and repeatable and that's what worked. Some people said I was “predictable,” like that was a bad thing, but they were missing the point. Predictability, when it's backed by skill and consistency, is a strength, not a weakness. Today, I'm telling you why doing the same thing well—over and over—can actually make you unstoppable. Show Notes:  [02:22]#1 Predictability and consistency have a calming effect on both the users and the recipients. [08:23]#2 The more predictability you have in your life, the easier it is to think long term and plan for  the bigger picture. [15:07]#3 Predictability frees up your most powerful weapon.  [29:55]Recap Next Steps:

Overstimulation & Recharge and the Impact on Relationships   In this conversation, Patricia explores the themes of overstimulation, the importance of recharging, and the dynamics of friendship, particularly in the context of neurodivergence. She shares her personal experiences with protesting, the challenges of feeling safe in crowds, and the emotional complexities of friendships, including rejection sensitivity, and the trauma that many Autistics have experienced in relationships. The discussion emphasizes the need for self-care, understanding one's limits, and the significance of connection in navigating life's challenges.   HIGHLIGHTS   ·       We often need to recharge after overstimulation. ·       Protesting can be a positive experience despite initial fears. ·       It's important to communicate needs in friendships. ·       Rejection sensitivity can affect how we perceive relationships. ·       Predictability and routine can provide comfort for neurodivergent individuals. ·       Self-care is essential for emotional regulation. ·       Understanding our triggers can help in managing our responses. ·       Friendships can change, and it's okay to let go. ·       We should honor our sensitivity and the way we connect with others. ·       It's important to recognize that not everyone is meant for us.   SOUND BITES "You have a right to rest." "You are not meant for everyone."   SENSITIVITY IS NOTHING TO APOLOGIZE FOR; IT'S HOW YOUR BRAIN IS WIRED You have a right to reach out to friends. You have a right to rest. You have a right to be playful. You have a right to be serious and quiet. Our idea of fun is not always what a neurotypical's idea of fun is, and that could be studying a language, studying something that you're interested in, doing a craft project, spending time with animals. You have a right to be quiet. You have a right to be loud. You are not meant for everyone and everyone is not meant for you.   CHAPTERS   00:00 Navigating Overstimulation and Recharge 06:04 Experiencing Protest: A Personal Journey 11:54 Friendship Dynamics and Rejection Sensitivity 18:48 Patterns of Engagement and Disengagement PODCAST HOST Patricia was a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for over 17 years, but she is now exclusively providing coaching.

Enjoy the episode? Send us a text!Are you living with your spouse but feel like you're just living with a roommate? Do conversations revolve only around finances, kids, and chores, rather than the fun and passion you once shared? Many couples experience what's called a "companionate relationship," where intimacy and commitment are present, but the crucial elements of passion and eroticism have faded, often leaving one spouse yearning for more oneness and excitement. This often happens when deep security and intimacy lead to a level of predictability that can, over time, "de-eroticize" the relationship.But there's a powerful secret to reigniting that spark: Planned Surprise.While intimacy thrives on trust and predictability, allowing you to not worry about what's coming next, eroticism and passion flourish on "something new, something different, something unexpected". Predictability, in fact, kills eroticism.In this video, we reveal how to bridge this gap and stop feeling like roommates by intentionally adding passion back into your marriage. Drawing on insights from experts like world-renowned sexologist Dr. Barry McCarthy, we explain:*   Why Predictability Kills Passion: Intimacy provides security, a deep part of closeness where you don't expect surprises. However, eroticism dies when there are no surprises and everything becomes extremely predictable. You could become habituated and de-eroticized unless you're intentional about not doing that.*   The "Surprise Scenario" Exercise: Discover a practical method from the "Becoming One" workbook where each spouse plans out three unique "surprise scenarios". The key is that they review these scenarios together first to cross out anything that "ain't going to happen" or might cause "sexual inhibition".*   The Power of Anticipation (Dopamine): Learn how the actual surprise works: your spouse doesn't know *when, where, or how* one of these pre-approved scenarios will unfold, creating a delightful and sustained anticipation. As the source explains, dopamine has more to do with the anticipation than the event itself. This means there could be a "low-level dopamine" thrill throughout the month, which increases if a clue appears.*   How to Get Started and Keep the Momentum: We discuss how you can gently introduce this concept, even if your spouse is initially hesitant, perhaps by trying a non-offensive surprise without warning them first, much like one husband did by transforming his living room into a "South Pacific" scene to encourage "new anticipatory things". It's crucial for the planned event to actually happen; otherwise, the drop in dopamine and trust can be worse than if they weren't expecting it.Don't settle for a passionless marriage. It's time to become intentional about rekindling the romance and returning to that "craving for oneness" that defines true passion. Watch now to learn the surprising way to transform your roommate situation back into a vibrant, passionate marIf you're struggling in your marriage, don't wait.
