The Financial Model Every 7–8 Figure Business Needs for Predictable Profit with Salvatore Tirabassi   Most business owners don't lack data. They lack clarity.   They have a P&L, a balance sheet, maybe even a dashboard. But when a real decision shows up—Can I afford this hire? Should I scale marketing? Why did margins drop again?—the numbers don't give a clear answer.   That's where growth starts to feel chaotic.   In this episode of Profit Answer Man, Rocky Lalvani sits down with fractional CFO and former private equity investor Salvatore Tirabassi to unpack what separates "clean books" from a finance function that actually drives predictable profit.   The core insight is simple but uncomfortable: bookkeeping is not finance. And confusing the two is one of the biggest reasons growing businesses stall, leak cash, or scale problems instead of profit.   In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why clean books and tax-ready reports are not the same as decision-ready financials How a single, integrated financial model replaces disconnected spreadsheets and gut decisions What driver-based forecasting looks like and why it creates predictable profit at scale How funnel math, capacity planning, and cash flow must work together to support growth Why tracking customer acquisition cost by channel matters more than obsessing over lifetime value How private-equity thinking exposes hidden profit leaks in people, process, and culture   Key Takeaway: If your financial reports are technically accurate but not helping you decide what to do next, the problem isn't effort—it's the model. Upgrade from bookkeeping to real finance, and your numbers will finally start working for you instead of against you.   Bio: As a seasoned finance professional with over 24 years of experience, his journey began with a passion for helping businesses thrive. After earning his degrees from Harvard and Wharton, he spent 15 years in venture capital, where he learned the ins and outs of what makes businesses successful. This experience provided him with a deep understanding of the challenges entrepreneurs face, especially in emerging and family-owned businesses.   Transitioning to the role of CFO in a high-growth company, he discovered his true calling: empowering business owners to take control of their financial futures. He founded CFO Pro + Analytics to provide virtual and fractional CFO services that demystify finance and make it accessible to all. His approach is built on a business owner-first mindset, where he prioritizes the unique needs of each client, helping them see their financial data not just as numbers, but as powerful tools for growth.   Throughout his career, He developed a methodology that combines strategic financial modeling with actionable insights. His goal is to simplify complex financial concepts so that entrepreneurs can make informed decisions confidently. Whether it's guiding them through capital raising or enhancing their operational efficiency, he strives to provide clarity and direction that drives real results.   He believes that every business has the potential to reach new heights with the right financial strategy.   Links: Website: https://cfoproanalytics.com/   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/SalvatoreTirabassi  LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/stirabassi Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/salvatoretirabassi/   Substack: https://salvatoretirabassi.substack.com/   Conclusion: Chaotic growth is rarely a revenue problem. It's a clarity problem. As this conversation with Salvatore Tirabassi makes clear, most businesses don't struggle because they lack effort or ambition. They struggle because their numbers are built for compliance, not for decisions. When financial reports are shaped by tax rules instead of business drivers, owners are left guessing, reacting, and hoping growth will eventually smooth things out. Predictable profit comes from upgrading how you think about finance. One integrated model. One source of truth. Clear drivers that connect marketing, sales, capacity, and cash. When those pieces line up, the noise disappears. Decisions get easier. Teams align. And growth becomes intentional instead of exhausting. Whether you plan to sell or simply want a calmer, more profitable business, running your company with CFO-level discipline gives you options. And options are what real freedom looks like.   #ProfitAnswerMan #BusinessFinance #FinancialClarity #CashFlowManagement #Profitability #FractionalCFO #FinancialModeling #DriverBasedForecasting #PredictableProfit #MarginManagement #BusinessGrowth #ScalingBusiness #RevenueDrivers #CEOInsights #7FigureBusiness   Watch the full episode on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@profitanswerman Sign up to be notified when the next cohort of the Profit First Experience Course is available!

When the last machine winds down and the lights flicker into their nighttime hum, there's a moment every closer knows well—the quiet that settles in once everyone else is gone. It's supposed to be peaceful. Predictable. Safe. But in this factory, silence doesn't mean empty. Night after night, something lingers after the doors are locked. Sounds echo where no one stands. Music bleeds from radios that shut off the instant they're touched. Air tools hiss with no air behind them. And footsteps—measured, deliberate—follow whoever dares to walk the darkened aisles alone. For one veteran closer, every shift became a race against the alarm system, sprinting through shadows while unseen movement tracked his every step. Papers drifted from windows sealed tight. Breath brushed the back of his neck. And the building itself began to feel less like a workplace… and more like something watching, waiting. Because once the lights go out, this place doesn't feel abandoned. It feels awake. #RealGhostStories #HauntedWorkplace #ParanormalEncounter #TrueGhostStory #NightShiftHaunting #HauntedFactory #ParanormalActivity #UnexplainedPhenomena #GhostStories Love real ghost stories?

If you keep entering a new year hoping things will change without confronting the patterns you keep repeating, nothing will be different. Familiar habits. Familiar reactions. Familiar relationships. Familiar excuses. Over time, that repetition does not just stall progress. It reshapes your identity and erodes self-trust. In this episode, I break down why motivation always fades under pressure and why discipline without structure collapses into burnout. I expose the internal enemies most people avoid. Undisciplined thinking. Survival tactics that are no longer necessary. Coping skills that numb instead of build capacity. Predictable failure loops. People-pleasing disguised as kindness. Environments that quietly keep you stuck. You will hear a direct breakdown of the internal battles that must be faced before anything external can change. Thought governance. Emotional regulation. Boundaries. Values. Standards. And the real cost of avoiding your blind spots. Not with shame. With clarity and ownership. This episode is for anyone tired of almost becoming who they were called to be. For those who know they are capable of more but keep sabotaging themselves in familiar ways. If you are ready to stop surviving, stop outsourcing responsibility, and start living with intention, courage, and alignment, this is the work. Kate Hastings | Mental Health Coach

In this power-packed episode, Jason and Tobias dive deep into the systems, structures, and strategic thinking that truly scale a fitness business, from CRM mastery and automated nurture sequences to niching down, crafting a unique mechanism, and building long-term client trust. Their conversation blends real industry experience with actionable guidance, reminding listeners that success comes from investing in yourself, implementing proven systems, and solving one clear problem for one specific audience with excellence.   "As soon as you get laser-focused on solving one big problem for one type of client and showing that you have a unique system and strategy that gets them the result, that's where you start hitting some home runs, folks."   Key takeaways: Systems Scale Businesses — Large gym chains succeed because of solid systems; online coaches must adopt the same mindset and tools.  A CRM Is Essential — Tracking leads, notes, follow-ups, and nurture sequences through a CRM ensures no potential client slips through the cracks.  Email Nurture Builds Trust & Omnipresence — A strong email list allows you to deliver value, direct people to your content, and stay top-of-mind when they're ready to buy.  A Focused Niche Wins — Trying to "help everyone" repels everyone; define one problem for one person and speak directly to them.  A Unique Mechanism Differentiates You — Without a distinct method or framework, clients compare you on price; a unique process positions you as the premium solution.  Mentorship Fast-Tracks Growth — Investing in coaching removes years of trial-and-error and accelerates results.  Your Warm List Is Gold — Past and current clients, plus an email list, make launches easier and more profitable than relying solely on social media.  Personal Storytelling Creates Connection — Tobias's journey—from childhood challenges to corporate fitness success to coaching—shows how authenticity builds credibility.  Connect with Jason Meland: Email: jason@goliveonlinemastermind.com Website: https://www.growmyvisibility.com/ Instagram: @coachjasonmeland Facebook: Jason Meland - In Demand Coach LinkedIn: Jason Meland

Chances are referrals work for your agency.  Maybe they're the only thing that ever has.  But you've never optimized them.  [Note: this is an encore of an episode originally aired 12/3/25]. If your agency is stuck in "the Cobbler's Children phase", where you deliver great work for clients but new business feels chaotic and reactive, this episode offers a way out. I'm sharing my referral workshop from the All In Agency Summit, condensed from 60 to 30 minutes of pure strategy. This isn't about random networking or hoping referrals happen. It's about installing a repeatable system that generates 2-5 targeted introductions weekly without cold outreach spam or burning out your team. What You'll Leave With:The four-level agency maturity model and how to identify which phase you're actually inWhy the 2020 shift made trust—not awareness—the scarce resource in B2B salesThe high school gym versus NFL stadium test for choosing the right lead gen strategy based on your market sizeA two-pronged outreach approach that keeps your pipeline full even when you're wearing too many hatsThe simple emotional game-changer that gets introductions to actually happen instead of sitting in limboThe one data tool you need to get started without expensive SaaS platformsWhy asking for referrals is actually a positive-sum game that benefits everyone involvedHow to systematize client referrals so your account team generates opportunities automaticallyThe sprint-to-marathon framework that proves this approach scales beyond your immediate network

If you've been sitting on a subscription box idea for way too long, this episode is for you. In today's episode, I'm breaking down 5 powerful reasons why 2026 is an incredible time to start a subscription box. Yes, even if you've been watching this space for years and wondering if it's “too late.” Spoiler alert: it's not. Not even close. We'll talk about market opportunity, recurring revenue, loyal customers, and why subscription boxes continue to thrive. Especially for niche, well-positioned brands. I get asked all the time: “Is it too late to start a subscription box?”The truth? The industry is still growing fast, and there is so much room for niche boxes done well. The global subscription box market passed $37 billion in 2025 It's projected to grow past $100 billion in the next few years You don't need a subscription box for everyone - just a box for your people.  Reason #1: You Don't Have to Constantly Sell If you've ever felt stuck in the daily hustle of: Posting Emailing Promoting Starting over tomorrow Subscription boxes allow you to sell once and get paid month after month, building revenue that compounds instead of resets. In a world where: Organic reach is down Ads cost more Attention is scattered Recurring revenue brings stability and peace of mind. Reason #2: You Build Loyal, Raving Fans Subscribers open more emails and engage more deeply Long-term subscribers turn into your best customers Community is one of the biggest hidden benefits of a subscription box (My average subscriber stays 17 months - and that relationship matters.) Reason #3: The Product Is Already Sold You're buying inventory after customers have already said yes. Less risk Less waste Easier planning Better cash flow And in 2026, customers want thoughtful, intentional products, not mass-produced clutter. Reason #4: You Get to Create Something You Love In a world full of: Screens Algorithms AI-generated everything A subscription box is different. It's real. It's tangible. It's personal. Whether your box is built around products, creativity, education, or connection, your passion becomes the experience, and your audience feels that. Reason #5: Predictable, Consistent Revenue Feast-and-famine sales cycles are exhausting. Subscription boxes give you: Stability The ability to plan ahead Freedom to hire help or take a break Revenue that doesn't disappear if one post flops There is nothing like watching renewals hit your account month after month. If you think it's “too late,” here's the shift to make: The most successful subscription boxes aren't broad. They're specific. People want to feel: Seen Connected Part of something If you've been waiting… This is your sign. If you're ready to move from thinking to planning, I want you to join me for my FREE 6 in 60 Workshop.

Welcome to the Leading Edge in Emotionally Focused Therapy, hosted by Drs. James Hawkins, Ph.D., LPC, and Ryan Rana, Ph.D., LMFT, LPC—Renowned ICEEFT Therapists, Supervisors, and Trainers. We're thrilled to have you with us. We believe this podcast, a valuable resource, will empower you to push the boundaries in your work, helping individuals and couples connect more deeply with themselves and each other. In this episode of “Push the Leading Edge”, James Hawkins and Ryan Rana dive into one of the most anxiety‑provoking parts of EFT: when the caregiving system red-lights right in the middle of beautiful vulnerability. Drawing on attachment theory and years of EFT training experience, they explore “caregiving nightmares”—those predictable moments when a partner can't respond with comfort, even when their loved one is wide open and reaching. They unpack how pursuers and withdrawers each bring their attachment strategies into the caregiving role: withdrawers often “loan out their avoidance” as a form of love, and pursuers “up the ante” as their way of fighting for the bond. Rather than shaming these moves or bypassing them to “get to the heart,” James and Ryan show how to move toward the blocks themselves as emotional material, validating the attachment logic inside them and using structured, attuned interventions to help partners reclaim their caregiving systems. With rich clinical examples, regulation strategies for therapists, and practical language you can use tomorrow, this episode helps you trust the process, trust the caregiving system, and stay with the red lights long enough for new attachment experiences to emerge. Main Points from the Episode Framing: “Caregiving Nightmares” & Red Lights  - Focus on stage 2 / step 6 caregiving positions, and the “back half” of vulnerable enactments.    - The “red light” is the blocked caregiving system: the partner can't offer simple comfort even when they want to. Predictable Attachment Patterns in Caregiving  - Withdrawers as caregivers:    - “Loan out their avoidance” or self-reliance: advice, positivity, “be comfortable in your own skin.”      - This is a form of love and responsiveness, but often misattuned.    - Pursuers as caregivers:      - “Up the ante”: test, push, or kick the tires on vulnerability (“it's just words,” “you only do this in here”).      - Driven by hope and fear of being dropped again. Therapist Regulation & Preparation  - Pre‑regulate before couples sessions; expect blocks as part of the process, not a failure.  - If the therapist dysregulates, you now have three protection systems in the room. Working with Withdrawer Red Lights  - Steps:    1. Regulate yourself.        2. Offer an attuned, assertive interruption (contain the cycle).        3. Give 3–5 concrete validations of the withdrawer's strategy as attachment‑driven care.        4. Reframe the strategy's attachment function (“this is how you love/protect”).        5. Then gently move toward the part that wants to reach.      - Don't bypass the strategy; work with it as emotional material. Working with Pursuer Red Lights  - Normalize that pursuers often lash out or test the first vulnerabilities they've begged for.    - Validate their vision, hope, and fight for the relationship (3–5 validations).      - Help them notice their somatic/empathic response to the partner's pain (1% of reach or comfort).      - Avoid shaming language like “you're going to your head.” Use of Numbers & Repetition  - “Magic” 3–5 validations to regulate a nervous system.    - Sue Johnson's idea: clients often don't really hear you until about the 5th repetition. Tourniquets & Sender Protection  - After a strong send + strong red light, layer tourniquets on the sender so they:    - Feel caught and not blamed.        - Are reinforced to risk again.      - Never make the sender give up their experience just to soothe the blocked caregiver. Trusting the Caregiving System  - Leanne Campbell's idea: trusting the process = trusting the caregiving system.    - People do know how to care; the cycle paralyzes access.      - Our job is to create conditions for that caregiving instinct to re‑emerge experientially. Hope, Respect, and Attachment Change  - Both pursuer protest and withdrawer avoidance are hopeful, survival strategies.    - Change often comes through “begrudging respect”: seeing a partner fight their old pattern for the relationship.

The Real AI: Authenticity + Intention in Life and Business   In a world where AI can write emails, produce video, and even mimic your voice, the greatest competitive advantage left is being human. Brian McRae reminds us that emotional loyalty, being known, valued, remembered, is what creates opportunity, referrals, purpose, and a life of meaningful success. Social media may get you attention, but it will never create devotion. Relationships do.   If you've been feeling alone, stuck, or unsure how to expand your circle of opportunity, this conversation is your roadmap back to connection.   Key Points with Reflection Questions:  Emotional Loyalty Is More Powerful Than Marketing. Most loyalty is transactional or habitual. But emotional loyalty, the kind your favorite small restaurant gives you when they remember your name and your kids, is what transforms your business and life. Brian built an entire mortgage business through emotional loyalty created at his monthly event. Reflection Question: Who in your life deserves more intentional appreciation from you this week? Authenticity + Intentionality = The New AI. Brian says the most important "AI" in business isn't artificial intelligence. It's Authentic and Intentional actions. A handwritten note, a thoughtful question, or genuine curiosity carries more power than any automated funnel. Reflection Question: Where can you replace automation with authentic intention? The World Rewards Generosity, Not Neediness. Most networking fails because people lead with "What's in it for me?" Brian teaches the opposite: Lead with gratitude, curiosity, and generosity, and doors open that marketing can't touch. Reflection Question: What's one simple generosity action you can take in the next 24 hours? Referrals Come From Partners, Not Clients. Most people confuse their client with their referral partner. Referral partners don't want to be sold to. They want partnership, support, and value. Brian's business grew by helping other professionals grow theirs. Reflection Question: Who are your true referral partners, and how are you helping them win? Relationships Require Rhythm and Systems. You don't need the perfect CRM. You need the one you actually use. Brian says: Identify your top relationships, Create a connection plan, Put follow-up time on your calendar, Track what matters, and Your calendar reveals your priorities. Your CRM reveals your influence. Reflection Question: What relationship rhythm do you need to protect weekly? Success Requires Facing Challenges, Not Avoiding Them. Brian has worked with and coached thousands of successful people. Their secret? They don't avoid challenges — they grow through them. They look for opportunity in the obstacle. Reflection Question: What challenge are you resisting that might actually be your path to growth Faith, Wisdom, and Mentors Shape Everything. Brian openly shares that faith transformed his life, and that mentors changed his direction. Success isn't achieved alone. It's shaped by the wisdom of people who've walked the road before us. Reflection Question: Which wise voice should you be listening to more closely right now?   Money Learning from Brian McRae: Brian uses Profit First not because it's trendy, but because he never wants financial surprises again. ·       Profit First gave him:      Peace of mind      Predictable cash flow      Confidence his taxes and expenses were covered      The freedom to build a coaching business in alignment with his strengths   He described Profit First as a system that eliminates stress and supports life-aligned decisions. In Richer Soul terms: It's a structure that creates space for purpose.   Key Takeaway: Success is not built on followers, funnels, or tactics. Success is built on intentional generosity, consistent relational rhythms, and becoming someone others want to advocate for. Emotional loyalty is the last unfair advantage in a world of automation.   Bio: Brian McRae built an award-winning, referral-based mortgage practice that placed him among the top 1% of originators nationwide. But along the way, he discovered a surprising truth: success isn't about being the best salesperson in the room—it's about becoming the most trusted advisor in someone's life. Today, Brian coaches loan officers, financial advisors, and attorneys on how to build rich relationships that generate referrals and grow their businesses—without sacrificing their faith, family, or fitness. His clients learn how to attract business instead of chase it, freeing up time and energy for what matters most. Through his frameworks, the Trusted Advisor Playbook and the Momentum System, Brian gives leaders a step-by-step plan to win more clients by first winning more trust. If you want to grow your practice through trust instead of tactics, Brian is the coach who can show you how.   Links: https://www.linkedin.com/in/briankmcrae/   https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61563450897284  https://briankmcrae.com/   Which insight from Brian resonated with you the most?

Send us a textSlow seasons happen in every industry, and the salon industry is no exception. But while slow periods are predictable, panic is optional.In this episode, we talk about why seasonal slowdowns shouldn't feel shocking, why reacting emotionally makes things worse, and how both salon owners and stylists can prepare ahead of time instead of scrambling at the last minute. We break down the difference between panic and passivity, why discounting usually backfires, and how to build systems that keep your business steady year after year.We also share practical ways to use slow seasons productively: tightening systems, improving consultations, planning financially, strengthening client relationships, and maintaining strong team morale. Slow doesn't mean broken; it means you have information, time, and opportunity to improve your business.Your business should serve you, so that you can serve others.Slow seasons don't have to derail you — they can actually make your business stronger.Key TakeawaysSlow seasons are predictable patterns, not sudden failures.Panic and passivity are both reactive — leadership is proactive.Data and year-over-year numbers matter more than feelings.Planning removes stress when business slows.Discounts attract price-first clients, not loyal ones.Strong consultations and rebooking conversations drive stability.Marketing works when it's consistent, not reactive.Slow periods are ideal for systems, training, and leadership work.Small experience upgrades build massive client loyalty.Panic is optional — preparation is powerful.Time Stamps00:00 — Welcome + holiday context 02:00 — Jen's opening take: systems fail (even trash bags) 05:00 — Todd's opening take: gratitude, perspective, slowing down 07:00 — Slow seasons are patterns, not emergencies 09:00 — Panic vs passivity (and why neither works) 11:00 — Seasonality, weather, and predictable slowdowns 13:00 — Why confirmation bias online keeps owners stuck 15:00 — What salon owners can work on during slow periods 18:00 — Budgeting, staffing, reserves, and planning ahead 21:00 — Marketing consistency vs last-minute scrambling 23:00 — Opportunities hidden inside open schedule space 25:00 — What stylists can do to prepare before slow seasons 27:00 — Rebooking conversations that actually work 29:00 — Retention, education, referrals, and visibility 31:00 — Executing during slow seasons without panicking 33:00 — Leadership, morale, and coaching during downtime 35:00 — Social media is not a panic button 37:00 — Why discounting hurts more than it helps 41:00 — Client experience upgrades that don't involve discounts 44:00 — Small details that create loyalty 46:00 — Final thoughts: plan, embrace, panic is optionalLinks and Stuff:Our Newsletter Mentoring InquiriesFind more of our things:InstagramHello Hair Pro Website

In "Beyond FBA: Unlocking Amazon's Fulfillment for Retailers", Joe Lynch and Wainwright Yu, the General Manager and Director for Amazon's externalized fulfillment services, including Buy with Prime and Multichannel Fulfillment, discuss how retailers can scale their brands by leveraging Amazon's global logistics and the Prime badge to drive multi-channel growth. About Wainwright Yu Wainwright Yu is a technology executive and leadership coach who currently serves as the General Manager and Director for Amazon's externalized fulfillment services, including Buy with Prime and Multichannel Fulfillment. Over a distinguished thirteen-year tenure at Amazon, he has launched transformative products for Kindle and Amazon Logistics while training emerging leaders through executive development programs. As a scholar-practitioner and father to four multi-exceptional children, he brings a unique, personal perspective to cognitive diversity in the workplace. Through his diverse work in global business operations and private coaching, Wainwright remains dedicated to his mission of establishing mindful, compassionate leadership as the standard for the modern professional world. About Amazon Amazon is guided by four principles: customer obsession rather than competitor focus, passion for invention, commitment to operational excellence, and long-term thinking. Amazon strives to be Earth's Most Customer-Centric Company, Earth's Best Employer, and Earth's Safest Place to Work. Customer reviews, 1-Click shopping, personalized recommendations, Prime, Fulfillment by Amazon, AWS, Kindle Direct Publishing, Kindle, Career Choice, Fire tablets, Fire TV, Amazon Echo, Alexa, Just Walk Out technology, Amazon Studios, and The Climate Pledge are some of the things pioneered by Amazon.

Key Takeaways: Beyond FBA: Unlocking Amazon's Fulfillment for Retailers In "Beyond FBA: Unlocking Amazon's Fulfillment for Retailers", Joe Lynch and Wainwright Yu, the General Manager and Director for Amazon's externalized fulfillment services, including Buy with Prime and Multichannel Fulfillment, discuss how retailers can scale their brands by leveraging Amazon's global logistics and the Prime badge to drive multi-channel growth. Leveling the Playing Field with MCF: Wainwright explains how Multi-Channel Fulfillment allows any retailer—whether they sell on Amazon or not—to tap into Amazon's global network of 200+ fulfillment centers. This turns Amazon into a high-performance 3PL that handles picking, packing, and shipping for orders from your own website, Shopify, or even social media stores. The "Halo Effect" of Buy with Prime: A major focus is how Buy with Prime allows D2C (Direct-to-Consumer) sites to offer the familiar Prime logo and checkout experience. By providing the same fast, free delivery promise shoppers trust on Amazon, retailers have seen an average 25% lift in conversion rates on their independent sites. Unified Inventory Management: Wainwright discusses the strategic advantage of a single pool of inventory. Instead of splitting stock between various warehouses, retailers can keep all their products in Amazon's centers to fulfill both Amazon.com orders (via FBA) and off-Amazon orders (via MCF), drastically reducing out-of-stock risks. Frictionless Checkout via Amazon Pay: With Buy with Prime, the checkout process is streamlined using the customer's existing Amazon account details. This reduces "cart abandonment" because shoppers don't have to enter credit card or shipping info, making the purchase as simple as a few clicks. Unbranded Packaging Options: A common concern for retailers is brand identity. Wainwright highlights that MCF orders can be shipped in unbranded, "blank box" packaging, allowing the retailer's brand to remain front and center rather than being overshadowed by Amazon's smile logo. Trust-Building through Reviews: Through Buy with Prime, retailers can now display their Amazon.com star ratings and reviews directly on their own websites. This social proof helps "new-to-brand" shoppers feel confident enough to buy from a site they may be visiting for the first time. Predictable, All-In Pricing: Wainwright clarifies that both services offer a simple, transparent fee structure that includes storage, picking, packing, and shipping. For many brands, this eliminates the hidden costs of managing private warehouses and allows for more accurate margin forecasting.

Send us a text (Note: we are not able to respond but LOVE to hear from you!!)There is often a version of Christmas we carry in our heads. Quiet. Cozy. Predictable. The kind that feels comforting but somehow never shows up in real life.In this episode, I talk about the grief that can surface when the Christmas you imagined does not exist and how common that experience is, especially for special needs moms. Between medical needs, disrupted routines, and the sheer weight of caregiving, the holidays can feel very different than what we expected.I share a simple framework I use to help reimagine seasons like this one. We talk about noticing when expectations are quietly hurting us, releasing the version of Christmas that no longer fits, and intentionally generating something new from the life we are actually living.This episode is an invitation to stop chasing a picture that causes pain and to create a version of Christmas that feels more honest, grounded, and possible.

Jess details how to adapt your sales approach to thrive in a tougher market, and why mastering both long and short-term sales tactics is key. If you want steady, predictable revenue (and less stress in 2026), now's your moment to shift from "panic selling" to a deliberate, data-driven sales process.  Key Quotes; "I think that the reason that most people have felt 2025 has been harder is because we have seen a shift in the quality of sales processes out there and the accidental revenue that they used to provide dropping off." 00:03:0100:03:16 "It's a massive skill to be able to generate short term revenue or non ideal revenue successfully." 00:11:0400:11:10 "And unfortunately, without having a long term sales process in place and developing that, you will never get to that point where you feel like revenue is easy, where you feel like it is steady, where you feel like you can take, you know, six weeks off and completely racks, because you know you're coming back into sales calls, to deals, to closing out your pipeline on things." 00:16:2400:16:46 "You kind of go from this place where you're like Scrabble, Scrabble, Scrabble, run around, do the things to get short term revenue, make deals, have lots of delivery, you're at a peak, you're buzzing, you're doing all the things that you need to do to deliver a great experience, and then suddenly you have no revenue and you have no deals in the pipeline and you don't know what to do again because now you're in the dip." 00:18:2300:18:45 "You start to run out of short term revenue offers that quote unquote work and that generate revenue. And instead you're going to be feeling really panicked and like, and like nothing is working for you. You'll see revenues dip, you'll see plateaus and you'll also feel more stressed and like you've worked harder than ever before." 00:22:1800:22:39   Key Resources Mentioned in this Episode:   Cold & Sold Bundle: Secure your spot at Converting Corporates 2026, get a year's inbound leads, plus access to the popular Cold to Closed course (8 sales calls in 4 weeks, anyone?) .https://smartleaderssell.thrivecart.com/cold-and-sold-bundle/   Expert Services Directory: Start getting found by clients searching for your skills.

In today's episode, we unpack one of the most powerful—yet often underdeveloped—performance drivers in Sales Leadership: effective time management for sales teams.Even though it's one of the most talked-about skills in the professional world, time management remains a major challenge for both salespeople and sales leaders alike. Drawing on principles from Atomic Habits and the Ford Motor Company's process-efficiency revolution, this episode equips Sales Leaders with practical, actionable steps to sharpen their team's focus and eliminate the day-to-day chaos that drags down performance.Key Takeaways:Time management fuels Sales Growth, consistency, and customer experience.Sales teams MUST use their calendars as non-negotiable planning tools.Power Hours create deep work blocks that move deals forward faster.A CRM should guide workflow—not just store information.Every active deal needs a scheduled next step.These habits create clarity, structure, and 1% daily improvement.Time Stamps:0:00 Intro0:57 Time Management2:33 Calendars3:56 Setting Up Power Hours4:40 Making the CRM Non-Negotiable6:35 Action Items7:33 OutroTo learn more about our Coaching Program that is seriously growing our Customers sales: https://strongersalesteams.com/program/To book a time to Meet with Ben directly: https://strongersalesteams.com/strategy/This podcast helps the entrepreneur, founder, CEO, and business owner in the trade, construction and industry segments, regain focus, build confidence, and achieve measurable results through powerful sales training, effective sales strategy, and expert sales coaching—guiding every sales leader, sales manager, and sales team in mastering the sales process, optimizing the sales pipeline, and driving business growth while fostering leadership, balance, and freedom amidst overwhelm, stress, and potential burnout, creating lasting peace of mind and smarter decision making for every California business and Australia business ready to scale up with excellence in sales management.

Is everyday stress quietly rewiring your child's brain? Learn how chronic stress reshapes the nervous system, affects emotional regulation, and how small, practical lifestyle changes can protect your child's brain health.Parenting a child whose emotions swing from calm to chaos can feel overwhelming. Everyday pressures—school demands, social tension, family stress—can quietly rewire your child's brain, pushing it into a constant state of survival mode. But the good news? You can change these patterns.In today's episode, we break down how chronic stress affects brain development, why your child may seem "overly reactive" or withdrawn, and practical tools you can use to build emotional resilience and calm.Why does my child overreact to small stressors?Your child's brain is highly responsive to repeated stress, especially those with trauma, neurodivergence, or sensory sensitivities. Chronic stress strengthens fear circuits in the amygdala while weakening prefrontal cortex control, making your child more prone to anxiety, meltdowns, or overreaction.Takeaways:Frequent stress rewires the brain: the more your child experiences stress, the stronger the fear pathways become.Behavior reflects the brain: meltdowns aren't misbehavior—they're signs of an overactive stress response.Small moments add up: transitions, noise, or school pressures can overflow your child's stress cup.Real-Life ExampleJess noticed her son melting down every afternoon. By adding a quiet snack and a two-minute decompression before homework, she saw his meltdowns reduce within a month.How can I tell if my child's nervous system is overstimulated or under-stimulated?Overstimulation looks like constant movement, big emotions, defiance, sleep troubles, and hyper-reactivity. Under-stimulation shows as daydreaming, zoning out, sluggishness, or excessive caffeine use in teens. Both reflect dysregulated stress response patterns.Tips for parents:Observe daily patterns in behavior and energy.Offer micro resets: 1–2 minute stretches, humming, tapping, or deep breathing.Track stressors to notice triggers and early warning signs.Quick CALM™ gives your child fast, simple tools to reset their nervous system and regain emotional control in moments of stress. With easy, science-backed techniques, it helps kids stay grounded, focused, and calm—so you can reduce meltdowns and boost everyday resilience.What can parents do to protect the brain during stressful moments?Regulate first, teach second. Your calm acts as the anchor for your child's nervous system. Predictable routines and lifestyle changes—hydration, sleep, magnesium-rich foods—help balance stress hormones and protect brain structure.Action Steps:Incorporate short, frequent nervous system breaks.Prioritize predictable schedules and safe environments.Co-regulate for connection before correction—behavioral learning happens when your child feels safe.

At 19, working part-time in a bank branch while attending college, Ed Hagan made a simple recommendation: expand the branch. The idea was taken seriously enough that he was transferred to the bank holding company's finance and accounting department, where he suddenly found himself helping with acquisitions, preparing board materials, and contributing to an IPO. The exposure was far greater than he expected at that age, Hagan tells us, and it sparked a curiosity that would shape his entire career.That early experience with real-world complexity led him to KPMG—then Pete Marwick—because the firm audited the bank. There, he spent roughly 20 years, including a decade as partner, learning “every day” and taking on global finance transformation work. When the consulting arm later separated into BearingPoint, Hagan continued building capabilities, eventually moving to London to grow a financial services practice from just a few people to a couple hundred.After 21 years in consulting, he felt ready for a different kind of problem-solving. He joined a private-equity and family-office environment, then built a fractional CFO and outsourcing practice that connected him with growth-stage founders.

In this podcast, we spoke with Troy Ostreng, Senior Product Manager and David Burdge, Director of Cell and Gene Therapy at CPC about the development of the MicroCNX® aseptic micro-connectors and how they're helping biopharma teams streamline closed-system operations for cell and gene therapies. What unfolded was a detailed and forward-looking conversation that touched on CPC's 47-year legacy, the technical demands of advanced therapies, and the company's plans to drive the future of automation and sterility in manufacturing. A Legacy That Positioned CPC for Today's Advanced Therapy Boom When asked how CPC's long history in biologics and hospital environments prepared the company for today's cell and gene therapy landscape, David took us back to CPC's roots. “CPC was founded in 1978, so that's 47 years of innovation within connection technologies,” he said. “The first biologic was released in 1982, synthetic insulin, and we were there supporting the industry with open-format connectors on single-use bags.” From the early development of biologics through the shift to single-use and the rise of stainless-steel/single-use hybrid systems, CPC continuously evolved its connection technologies. They launched steam-through connectors as bioprocessing grew more complex, released their first aseptic connector in 2009, and introduced their first connector specifically targeted for the cell and gene therapy market in 2017. David explained how that history matters today: “Biologics has about a 35-year head start on advanced therapies. So the question becomes, what lessons can we transfer from biologics to cell and gene therapy as that industry grows at three to four times the rate biologics did in its first decade?” That perspective, combining biological manufacturing experience with the needs of new therapy modalities, forms the foundation for CPC's MicroCNX platform. MicroCNX: The First Aseptic Connector Built for Small-Format Tubing As cell and gene therapy developers began scaling up manufacturing, they quickly discovered a problem: the connectors used for biologics were not designed for small-volume, patient-specific therapies. Troy described it plainly: “Several years ago, we started hearing rumblings that current connectors weren't meeting what cell and gene therapy required.” CPC responded with a deep Voice of Customer (VOC) initiative, interviewing process engineers, operators, manufacturing leaders, and platform developers. Over and over, the same needs emerged. Operators wanted something simple. “Ease of use was the number one requirement,” Troy said. “Operators needed a product that was easy to use so they could make sterile connections in a short amount of time.” Processes demanded robustness. “Customers needed a connection they could trust—no contamination, no failures, no weak spots in the connection process,” he added. Small-volume precise applications required connectors actually designed for them. With autologous therapies, he noted, “We aren't talking about 1,000 liters; we're talking about 250 milliliters. And if there's a mishap, that could mean the difference between life and death for a patient.” All of this laid the groundwork for MicroCNX, which became the first aseptic connector engineered for small-format tubing. The “Pinch-Click-Pull” Process: Sterility Meets Speed One of the standout features of MicroCNX is its elegantly simple pinch-click-pull operation. Troy explained how simplicity came directly from user feedback. “As operators walked us through their pain points, what they needed was clear: a connector they could learn immediately. So MicroCNX has a three-step process—pinch, click, pull. You can literally do it as fast as I say it.” He continued,“Once someone does it one time, they're basically an expert. That ease of use dramatically reduces operator error.” For an industry where operator variability remains one of the biggest sources of risk and batch loss, eliminating complexity is critical. Cryogenic Challenges Call for Cryo-Rated Solutions As the conversation shifted to cryopreservation, a critical component of cell therapy manufacturing,Troy introduced the MicroCNX® ULT and MicroCNX® Nano variants. “These were really developed because therapies were being frozen to –150°C, even –190°C. You need a connector that can be frozen to those temperatures, thawed, and still be as robust as it was before.” The ULT and Nano were engineered with: Low-profile geometries to fit inside freezing cassettes Specialized materials to withstand thermal stress Chemical compatibility with DMSO and other cryoprotectants Enhanced durability to survive impacts while frozen Troy emphasized how critical it was to get the materials right: “We searched extensively for a material that could handle those harsh chemicals and temperatures. What we landed on was PPSU—polyphenylsulfone. It's chemically sound, and it's incredibly impact-resistant at very low temperatures.” CPC built these connectors because customers repeatedly told them: existing solutions were cracking, leaking, or becoming brittle. MicroCNX was engineered to overcome all of that. True Closed Systems vs. Functionally Closed Systems: Why the Difference Matters A substantial part of the conversation focused on the differences between closed, functionally closed, and open systems—distinctions that are often overlooked but critically important. Troy broke down the differences clearly: “An open system is exposed at some point. A functionally closed system is inherently open but gets closed temporarily to let fluid transfer. In comparison, a closed system is never open at any point.” Examples of functionally closed systems include: Biosafety cabinets (BSCs) Luer-based connections Closed system transfer devices These approaches require: Sanitization Careful environmental controls Operator expertise And, as Troy noted, “a mishap in one of these can mean losing a very valuable therapy.” CPC's sterile connectors—including MicroCNX minimize these risks: “Our connectors allow the system to remain closed 100% of the time. That greatly reduces contamination risk.” This distinction isn't merely academic—it has direct regulatory implications as well. David added,“In Annex 1, they refer to intrinsically sterile connection devices—like sterile connectors and tube welders—that allow operations normally requiring Grade A or B to occur in a Grade C or D environment.” That ability to operate safely in lower-grade spaces is increasingly critical as the industry tries to overcome facility and labor bottlenecks. Why Teams Are Moving Away from Tube Welding Tube welding has been part of bioprocessing for decades, but David explained why its era may be ending for CGT. “Tube welding was born out of the blood banking industry when no other solution existed. But sterile connectors don't require capital investment. They're faster. They eliminate issues like tubing alignment or pinhole leaks. They're simply more reliable.” As biologics manufacturers have already done, CGT teams are now transitioning toward connectors like MicroCNX® that provide sterile, consistent, low-burden operations. The MicroCNX® Luer Variant: Supporting Transitional Workflows Not all workflows are ready to move away from luer-based devices. That's where the MicroCNX Luer variant fits in. Troy described how it works.“You connect a syringe or bag with a luer inside the BSC, but then because the MicroCNX® connector itself is sterile, you can take it outside the hood and make a sterile connection elsewhere.” This capability bridges legacy workflows and fully closed systems—critical during process development, technology transfer, or when working with specific devices. Co-Development: The Heart of CPC's Innovation Process As the conversation returned to CPC's broader philosophy, David highlighted how important customer collaboration is. “It's all about the customer for CPC,” he said. “We start with Voice of Customer. Our business and applications managers are out in the field understanding real applications and guiding them to the right products.” This feedback fuels CPC's two major development tracks: Catalog product development (platforms like MicroCNX) Custom-engineered solutions for unique applications David added: “We maintain a full new product introduction roadmap. Some products will be released broadly. Others will be developed specifically for one customer. But both are driven by real application requirements.” This process ensures CPC's products evolve in lockstep with the needs of advanced therapy teams. Looking Ahead: Designing Connectors for Robotics and Automation Toward the end of the conversation, David turned to one of CPC's biggest focus areas: the future of automation. “The ultimate customer in this industry is the patient,” he said. “And right now we face barriers—capacity, speed, accessibility, cost. Process automation can significantly reduce those barriers.” Automation requires connectors designed not just for human hands but for robotics: Predictable geometries Features optimized for machine vision Forces and actuation steps compatible with robotic grippers Designs intended for automated loading and unloading David summarized CPC's future direction: “We're taking a fresh look at our connectors, reimagining them as something designed for robotic manipulation. It's a high priority for us.” Troy echoed the sentiment: “Our connectors are awesomely designed for humans. But automation is coming, and we're focused on the features robots need.” A Future Built on Innovation and Patient Impact The interview closed with both guests reflecting on CPC's mission. “We're incredibly passionate about innovation and meeting the needs of our customers through thoughtful product development,” Troy said.
