Podcasts about Predictable

On this episode of “Predictable w/ Stu”, Stu Burguiere previews tomorrow's primary elections in Kansas, Michigan, Missouri, Virginia and Washington and identifies the biggest value opportunities for savvy investors. Then, a look at the box office dominance of “Spider-man: Brand New Day” and how the markets are reacting to the massive blockbuster hit. And Stu highlights a few questions and comments from the Predictable paid subscriber tier from last night's live chat.

Join me to paint the MUSEDear One, If you happen to have a chronic stress or chronic health condition, please listen because this matters. The hours of your day are not neutral. They're counting on your body's clock. Hypervigilance over time wears the body down. You know this, but what you might not know is how much pleasure builds the body back. Pleasure is not a treat. Pleasure is a counterweight to pain. And here's why I believe it. Chronos. Chronic. It means with time. So if you have chronic health and chronic stress, it means you're living with it, inside of it. These words come from the Latin and the Greek. When it first began to enter the human language, it was not about a severity, it was about duration, the time it takes. Chronic, on its own, isn't something bad. It's what travels with you. But it's not a singular event. It's time itself. And if the condition that you are navigating is having an impact on your life. It's impacting your time. Not just the quantity of your time, but the quality of your time. So what if the remedy to Chronos and Chronic is connected with time itself? Think about this for a moment with me. Chronos connects with the brainwave of Beta, what I call busybody beta, and hypervigilance, and also the critic. The critic lives in Chronos. Chronos is sequential, the clock, the calendar, the appointment, the countdown, the quantity. Beta is the brainwave that runs it. Hypervigilance is what beta feels like from the inside when you live in a body that communicates to you about what it is experiencing in languages that are hard to understand and so unpredictable. When you're always scanning for what's next, what's going to bring on the inflammation or the flare, whether or not you feel like showing up for something that you've already said yes to. Small example, yesterday I spent quite a few hours feeling creative and lit up and informed. And then suddenly my computer was out of battery and I was in a public place. And I didn't feel like expending the energy to get up and plug it in. So I just closed it and just sat there instead. I was weighing whether or not it felt worthwhile to find the socket. Because when you're navigating chronic conditions, sometimes the simple act like plugging in a cord can feel like you don't want to do it. Are you, like I am sometimes, weighing every move? The weighing itself, the evaluation is not free. Researchers have measured what it does to a body over the years. And this buildup is called allostatic load. The wear accumulates. And so when we stay hypervigilant and stressed and in the stressful parts of the beta brainwaves over and over and over, it accumulates. It's a toxic load. Accumulation: Is a word that's been changing everything for me. Hypervigilance is not waiting for a flare. It's showing up in the good times too. When I'm doing things that I love, it's just there in the background. And it fills up peaceful times with stress if I don't pay attention. But there's something else. This one has to be chosen. Chronos is Predictable. What is not predictable is Kairos. Kairos is a choice. Kairos is divine time, God timing, supreme timing, synchronicity, everything in right time. Kairos, theta brainwaves, flow state, and the Muse. Kairos is about quality, not quantity. It's about opportunity, never too early, never too late. It's the opening. The space to breathe in between, or what I would call Tea with Muse. Chronos is spent. It's finite. Kairos, you enter and it's infinite, or at least the experience of it can be when you enter a flow state. Theta is the brainwave that's operating in Kairos. You don't just arrive there all at once. You have to pass through other brainwaves. You begin to leave the beta and you pass through the imagination of alpha and into the spacious mystical theta. And as you go. Hypervigilance and stress dissolves along the way. This also counts, especially if you declare that it does. Flow is what it feels like from the inside. Flow is the felt sense of the Kairos state. And this is where science is on my side and the side of Intentional Creativity. The researchers have a name for what happens to time in that state. They actually call it time distortion. It's one of the defining markers where hours go by and you can't account for them. You're so in the flow. You're in your jam. There's a theory called transient hypofrontality that says that the self-monitoring part of the brain quiets down during times of deep absorption. The part of you that is over hypervigilant, that guards, that worries, goes quiet, measurably quiet during Kairos. So when you're in self-expression, particularly things like drawing or painting or singing or weaving or digging in the dirt or cooking food, things that require intention you go into Kairos. When you're sitting with the Muse and letting her have her way with you. Two hours go by and you don't even know where they went. That happened just this morning. Coffee with two people I adore. We read poetry from my book, Tea with the Midnight Muse. We did the Mother Mary Oracle Deck and applied it to our health. We talked to the kitties. We talked about the roses and the tomatoes. I made a soup of everything from the garden. And the hours were gone and they couldn't even believe it. And I said, that? That's Tea with the Muse. That's what I want to talk about today. We traveled out of beta and we stopped guarding the parameter of our consciousness. We stopped listening to the Chronos critic who told us we must be productive. We entered the place where there is no clock. Instead, there's a cuppa.Here's the interesting thing, is that this time wasn't about healing something completely, not about overcoming something. When we come back out of it, the same conditions are waiting for us, but our perspective is shifted and we can bring magic out of Kairos into the Chronos. Let me tell you this, the pleasure time, the Muse time, that also is accumulative, just like the stress. The body, the heart, the mind, and the identity, they begin to fill up with a different kind of energy. This is why my entire day is filled with little bursts of chosen micro-pleasure. Chronos, Beta, Hypervigilance, Critic, Finite. That one writes by itself all day long, whether we consent or not, where Kairos, Theta, Flow, and the Muse, and the Infinite, that one only writes in us when we choose it, and also choose to be conscious of it. Kairos offsets days of bracing and worry for the worst. What if Tea with the Muse Is this life-saving as I've been saying it is all these years? You might ask yourself, why does Shiloh spend so much time on pleasure when the world is on fire? Because I know what's possible, because I've seen it for myself. I've seen people move out of chronic pain and into practices of pleasure that change our world. You know what? Chronos gets the clock. It's operating all day long. Kairos only gets what we choose and appoint. While you might think that 15 minutes of Tea with the Muse against the rest of the hours spent just fighting the onslaught of overwhelm and chaos: I challenge you to consider this is not just a lovely invitation. For many of us, it's life-saving. Pleasure is our activism. Kairos, like the Muse, must be courted. Kairos doesn't just arrive on its own, usually. The only times I've seen it come are through falling in love or worshipping at the altar of the Divine. Every other time, I need to choose it. Pain is inevitable, but pleasure is chosen. Kronos never has to be chosen. Kronos is chronic, just like the critic is chronic, keeping you scrolling and reminding you that time is running out. Kairos is a ritual. And while many of us in our community do prefer a giant canvas, in addition, take a walk and let the flowers speak poetry to you. Look out the window at the farthest point you can find and ask what color that is, if you were to paint it. Talk to the part of your body that hurts and ask what it wants. One of the people I was sitting with this morning is navigating a health condition and I asked her to ask that part of her body what the message was. Only one small thing came. But for me, as I sat with her and listened to the space in between the spaces, I heard a very clear instruction about a particular form of rest and I invited her to take that rest today - and she did and she's doing it right now while I do this. Information comes when you're having Tea with the Muse. So open the page and give the Muse of Kairos the pen. Ask What wants to reveal itself to you today? Do you believe me that a practice of pleasure could be the counterpoint of a lifetime of pain and could actually be, not just a coping mechanism but a practice to deal with states of chronic health and stress? I know it works. The only question is how much? Will you try? I will. I'll see you with the Muse. This is Curate Shiloh Sophia for Tea with the Muse podcast and I'm grateful to be in your life.

Know Where You're Going: Building a Roadmap for Predictable GrowthEvery business owner wants to grow—but too few take the time to define what success actually looks like before investing in marketing.In this week's episode, Casey Lewis discusses why having a clear vision, realistic expectations, and a structured growth plan is the key to long-term success. Whether you're just getting started or looking to dominate your local market, understanding where you are today—and where you want to go tomorrow—can make all the difference.In this episode, you'll discover:✅ The five stages of business growth✅ How to match your marketing strategy to your goals✅ Realistic timelines for SEO and lead generation✅ Why consistency outperforms quick fixes✅ How to build a business that grows predictably year after year

Learn how to build a sales process that creates trust, scales with your team, and frees founders from being the only person who can close deals. Most founders don't actually have a lead problem—they have a sales dependency problem. When every important sales conversation depends on the founder, growth eventually hits a ceiling. Revenue becomes unpredictable, hiring salespeople becomes frustrating, and the business struggles to scale beyond the founder's personal capacity. In this episode, Charles Gaudet sits down with sales expert, author, and military veteran Dan Rochon, author of Teach to Sell, to explore how founders can replace high-pressure sales tactics with a repeatable, trust-based system that anyone on the team can learn. Together, they discuss why great sales conversations feel more like teaching than convincing, how rapport and curiosity outperform pressure, and why the best sales organizations build systems—not superheroes. If you're looking to scale your business beyond seven figures without remaining the bottleneck, this episode is packed with practical strategies you can implement immediately. KEY TAKEAWAYS: Why founders become the biggest sales bottleneck Many entrepreneurs unknowingly build businesses where every important sales conversation depends on them. That creates growth ceilings, limits valuation, and makes scaling nearly impossible. Stop selling the product—sell the transformation Customers don't buy features. They buy the journey from their current frustrations to their desired outcome. Great salespeople sell the destination, not the vehicle. Trust beats pressure every time High-pressure sales tactics may occasionally generate short-term wins, but they destroy long-term relationships. The best sales conversations help prospects make confident decisions instead of forcing them into one. Curiosity is one of the most valuable sales skills Exceptional salespeople spend far more time asking thoughtful questions than delivering presentations. The quality of the conversation is determined by the quality of the questions. Rapport isn't small talk Real rapport comes from demonstrating genuine interest, doing your homework before the call, actively listening, and meeting prospects where they are—not asking about the weather. Systematize your sales process before hiring salespeople Many founders hire experienced sales reps without documenting how their own sales process works. Without a repeatable playbook, even talented salespeople struggle to succeed. How to interview great salespeople Instead of relying on resumes, role-play real sales conversations during the interview process. Watching candidates think, listen, ask questions, and handle objections reveals far more than previous experience alone. Teach your team to sell—not just close When your sales process is built around education instead of persuasion, it becomes far easier to train new team members, create consistency, and remove founder dependency. Emotional intelligence is a competitive advantage The best salespeople recognize changes in energy, adapt their communication style, and prioritize understanding before attempting to influence. The best businesses build trust that scales Predictable revenue comes from predictable sales conversations. When trust, messaging, and communication become systems rather than individual talents, businesses become significantly easier to scale—and ultimately more valuable.

Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with Story Prompt Friday and your host, Diane Wyzga. I remember this advice from decade ago"If you want to become a storyteller, tell stories. If you want to become a better storyteller, tell more stories." But what's a good story? A good story starts here: you have a treasure trove of lived experience memories. Are they all worthy of blossoming into well-crafted meaningful stories captivating to your listeners? How will you know unless you begin?       The point is you have a brain, an imagination, and more than reasonable ability to begin transforming those lived experience memories into storytelling magic. Take a course. Get a coach. Invest in your desire to see what you are capable of creating. You can do all three with me. Email me for an no-obligation Discovery Chat!   Here's what I believe: When someone comes to me with a story they need to tell, they are bringing me something they've been processing, shaping, and trying to make sense of—possibly for decades. The story is already there. It has been there the whole time. My job—as witness, as story doula—is not to give you a story. It is to help you find the one you are already living.  Let's have a no-obligation Discovery Chat. Meanwhile, the very best use of your time might be spent as a spy to your life, as Don Murray wrote: "I am a spy to my life, maintaining an alertness to the commonplace, the ordinary, the routine where the really important stories appear. I am never bored. I overhear what is said and not said, delight in irony and contradiction, relish answers without questions and questions without answers, take note of what is and what should be, what was & may be. I imagine, speculate, make believe, remember, reflect. I am always traitor to the predictable, always welcoming to the unexpected....." [Don Murray, Pulitzer-prize winning American journalist & English professor]     Story Prompt: We read the work of others so that we can say, "Look here! We're not the only ones.” What memories and sensations came alive in you when you heard Don Murray's words?

Most people believe they are in a relationship with another human being. They are not. They are in a relationship with a carefully maintained projection, a preferred version assembled early and defended long after the real person has already left it. The fantasy is not a soft illusion. It is a demand. It requires the other person to remain recognizable, predictable, and useful to the internal story.

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comThere are a lot of things Dr. Anthony Fauci might have said during his Senate hearing yesterday, about what he thought and did and did not do and might have done differently during the COVID-19 pandemic. Instead, the former head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases (NIAID) and lead member of the White House COVID-19 Response Team invoked his Fifth Amendment right to remain silent more than 90 times. Is this shocking? Predictable? Irresponsible? Dangerous? Yes and yes and yes and yes. With Sarah busy recording the audiobook for her upcoming memoir, The Only Thing There Is To Want, Nancy asked perennial straight-shooter Mary Katharine Ham to come talk about Fauci, his “cartoonish self-absorption,” the political marketplace that has us tilt toward hero worship, and the one official who maybe kinda sorta admitted she was wrong about lockdowns.Also discussed:* Must be nice to have never heard of the Tate brothers* The “personality disorder economy” that gives us a Dr. Fauci (and a Candace Owens)* Did Mary Katharine and Nancy adhere to the government-mandated COVID protocols? No, no they did not* John Fetterman's statement seemed pretty close to the mark for many of us* What sort of hubris has you writing your diary on a government computer?* A small nod of respect for Deborah Birx* Women watch true crime on TV. Men watch…* Mary Katharine and Nancy come up with a new hustlePlus, what is lost when you catastrophize, love and props for Liz Wolfe, Mary Katharine re-reads a book she hates, and much more!Did you watch Young Washington in anticipation of talking about it on First Sunday Zoom is this Sunday, August 2, 8pm ET/5pm PT?

主播：Meimei（中国）+ Maelle（法国） 音乐：Fix You上两期我们聊了很多随着短视频和网络信息越来越普及而浮现出的“问题”。We talked about attention (注意力), algorithms (算法), and why focusing feels harder.听到这里，很多人可能会问一个问题：有什么是我们真正能做的？所以今天这一集，我们想要聊一聊有哪些“解决方案”可以帮助到我们。Not perfect solutions (方案)—but practical ones.01. Structured Control 结构化控制当孩子不停地刷手机或平板电脑时，很多家长的第一反应是：把电子产品收走，或者直接删除所有App。但现实往往是——越禁止，越反弹。Yes, especially with kids (尤其是对孩子来说).说实话，这种方法通常持续不了多久。Because the goal isn't just restriction(限制). It's awareness(意识).目标是要让孩子意识到自己到底在用什么、怎么用。这就是为什么在一定的自由里，我们可以设立更有框架的structured control（结构化控制）——比如定时设置密码锁。但这不是“爸妈偷偷设密码”。It becomes a shared agreement (共同的约定)。有点像家庭规则，a shared agreement，而不是单向命令。是父母和孩子双方达成一致的共识。For example: screen time limits decided together.比如：一起商量决定的屏幕使用时间。或者每天晚上8点之后，iPad或手机自动锁定。或者某些App只能在特定时间段使用。听起来很简单，但很多家庭做不到，是因为缺少“共识”。And kids resist rules they don't understand(孩子们往往抗拒的是他们没有参与制定的规则).所以关键不是锁，而是“为什么锁”。That explanation matters more than the lock itself.那个解释，比锁本身更重要。很多时候，我们需要的是让孩子自己学会尊重共同制定的计划，并且有责任心地去执行。Because it's not a rule the parents gave them, but a rule they agreed on together.因为这不是父母给他们的规则，而是他们一起同意的规则。02. Shared Routine 共享的家庭日常在共同建立规则以外，主动去丰富一起度过的时间，是一个增进感情非常好的方式。Shared Routine：一个一起共享的家庭日常现在很多家庭在无聊时候的状态是：各刷各的手机。Physically together, but mentally elsewhere(身体在一起，但精神在别处).孩子刷视频，家长刷消息。虽然都在同一屋檐下，但并没有任何实质性的交流。Same house, different worlds.很多时候这样的场景也能在饭店的餐桌上看到。那么“家庭计划”，或者说 shared routine，意义是什么？It creates predictable(可预见的) offline time.比如每天设立固定的时间段不碰手机。Predictable offline time，这是大家都约定好的时间。在这个时间里，每个人都要真正地参与互动。Or doing one activity together—walking, cooking, or even just chatting.哪怕是一起去散步、做饭或者闲聊，重点在于“固定”，不是偶尔。Because habits(习惯) need structure(结构). 如果没有这样固定的时间，我们仅有的自由时间就很容易被手机挤掉。The phone always wins the "free time gap"(赢下“空闲时间”这块阵地).所以家庭时间其实是在“抢回时间和空间”。Attention needs protected space.我们的大脑也需要预留出空间去享受亲情和真实的关系。03. 社交媒体排毒 Social Media Detox接下来这个方法，很多人可能听过：social media detox（社交媒体排毒）。或者叫 social media fast（社交媒体斋戒）——也就是彻底停用社交媒体，一段时间内，可能是一天、一个周末或一周。这真的有效果吗？It depends on how it's done(取决于怎么做).If it's punishment, it fails. 如果把这个 social media detox 当成对自己的惩罚，那就失去了最初的意义。But if it's observation, it works. 但如果把它当成一种观察自己的方式，那就有效。通过不刷手机的这段时间，去静下来感受一下自己的状态：我是更焦虑急躁了,还是平静了许多？You start noticing your habits(注意到自己的习惯).之前还听过一个说法：我们不是“没时间”，而是“被填满了时间”。手机一直在填补每一个空隙。Every empty moment becomes a scroll moment.每一个空闲时刻都变成了刷手机的时刻。所以 detox 的意义，是让“空白”回来——也让无聊回来。Boredom is important for focus.无聊在某种程度上也能帮助人们重新聚焦在一件事情上。以上所有这些方法，都是在帮助我们去过滤并且重新选择占据我们大脑的信息。Not consuming less necessarily. But consuming more mindfully.不一定是消费更少的内容，而是更有意识地去消费：mindful consumption（有意识地消费内容）。而不是不停地刷，没有过滤地接收信息。Instead of asking: "What should I watch next?" Maybe ask: "Why am I watching this?"与其问“我接下来该看什么？”，不如问“我为什么要看这个？”Meimei有时候会怀念小时候那种状态。放学以后，可能就是看看书、出去玩，或者单纯发发呆。梅莉也有同感。Technology isn't bad. There are so many great things about it. It's helped me learn many things and connect with people around the world.我们在讨论的正是如何去主动使用科技，在掌握主动权的意识下，将科技带给我们的益处最大化地实现。因为注意力是有限的。问题不是有没有人想要它，而是：你想把它给谁？经过这三期节目《谁偷走了我们的注意力？》让我们聚焦：我们愿意把注意力留给什么？The people we love(我们爱的人)? The things we're curious about(我们好奇的事情)? The memories we're creating(我们正在创造的回忆)?还是留给下一条视频、下一次刷新、下一条推送？Because one day, children won't remember every video they watched. But they might remember the afternoons they spent playing outside.也许真正珍贵的，从来都不是屏幕里的内容，而是屏幕之外的生活。欢迎在评论区留言：你希望孩子长大以后，最怀念的童年回忆是什么？What do you hope your child remembers most from childhood?

Why Your Predictable Life Makes You a Target and how to Make it Difficult to be StalkedLearn how to protect yourself from stalking behaviour by understanding how stalkers build patterns and track routines through everyday activities like deliveries, mail, grocery orders, and online behaviour.In this video, we break down how personal routines can unintentionally expose behavioural patterns — and how to use critical thinking to identify and disrupt them.This is not about fear or paranoia. It's about personal safety, stalking awareness, privacy protection, and critical thinking in real life.You'll learn:How stalkers may observe and map your daily routinesHow deliveries, mail, and online activity can reveal behavioural patternsHow to reduce predictability in your routine and digital footprintHow to apply critical thinking to personal safety and privacy decisionsThe goal is to strengthen awareness, improve privacy, and help you stay ahead of potential surveillance or stalking behaviour by making your patterns less predictable.At its core, this is about stalking prevention, personal security awareness, and protecting your autonomy through critical thinking.Think clearly. Choose intentionally. Protect your agency.

Jim Effner is a master sales trainer, author, and founder of P2P Group, where he helps financial advisors and agency leaders achieve stronger results through mindset mastery, proven sales systems, and intentional communication.A former top producer at Northwestern Mutual, Jim now trains financial professionals across the country to develop greater consistency, confidence, and mastery in their sales careers. He is also the author of Bridge Your Gap: Sales Strategies and Systems for Becoming a Top Financial Advisor.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Jim Effner to explore why sustainable sales success requires more than motivation, natural ability, or increased activity. It requires a proven system, disciplined habits, and a commitment to continually practice your craft.Jim explains how a reliable process helps salespeople stop operating according to their mood, energy, or confidence level. He also introduces the idea of becoming “professionally perturbed”—reaching the point where inconsistent performance is no longer acceptable and meaningful change becomes necessary.The conversation explores mastery, accountability, intentional questioning, and authentic relationship-building. Jim shares that prospects need to feel three things: that they can trust you, that you genuinely care, and that you have the knowledge to help them. When those qualities are combined with a proven system and consistent practice, sales professionals can close the gap between their current results and their true potential.KEY TAKEAWAYSStop winging it. Sales results become unpredictable when your actions depend on how you feel that day.Commit to a proven system that creates consistency, sustainability, and a clear path forward.Become “professionally perturbed” enough to stop accepting inconsistent performance.Remember that simple does not mean easy. Mastery still requires discipline, repetition, and effort.Schedule time to practice your sales skills instead of relying only on experience.Create accountability that measures your ability to apply what you have learned.Help prospects feel that they can trust you, that you care, and that you are knowledgeable.Avoid chasing every new sales trend. Choose a proven system, commit to it, and refine it over time.Bring intentionality to every conversation instead of relying on improvisation.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESSystems allow a sales professional to get out of their own way.If you're going to be great in sales, you've got to spend some time working on your art.The moment you find yourself wanting something more for them than they want for themselves, you're dead.Intentionality means the opposite, or the antithesis, of winging it.There's a big difference between easy and simple.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

Andrea Samadi shares a five-year self-experiment using a WHOOP wearable to track sleep, recovery, movement, and biological age. She reveals how daily low-intensity movement and consistent recovery—not one intense workout—produced lasting improvements in heart rate, recovery scores, and biological age. Andrea distills five lessons: movement prepares the brain, consistency beats intensity, recovery is where adaptation happens, small habits compound over time, and every step is an investment in your future brain. Practical takeaways include walking daily, adding 2–3 strength sessions per week, protecting sleep, and tracking trends instead of perfection. In this Bonus Episode you'll learn: Why recovery matters more than you think. What 1,905 recoveries taught me about human performance. Why consistency beats intensity. How movement changes the brain. How to create lasting biological adaptation. Why every walk is an investment in your future brain. EPISODE BONUS Move Today. Recover Tonight. Younger Tomorrow. Five Years. 1,905 Recoveries.

Over the past seven years, I've had the privilege of interviewing many of the world's leading experts in neuroscience, psychology, learning, leadership, health, and human performance. Throughout Season 16, we've been connecting those conversations into a simple framework I call The Brain's Operating System for Human Performance—a practical way of understanding how the brain and body work together to help us learn better, think more clearly, live healthier, and perform at our highest potential. In Episode 402[i], we introduced The Movement Loop, built around one simple idea: Movement is the input. Adaptation is the process. Performance is the outcome. Then, in Episode 403[ii], Dr. Chuck Hillman helped us understand why movement changes the brain. Every step increases blood flow. Exercise stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor—BDNF—often called fertilizer for the brain. Movement strengthens the neural networks responsible for learning, memory, attention, and executive function. But after recording those episodes, I found myself asking a different question. What happens when we apply those principles consistently—not for days, weeks, or even months—but for years? Today's bonus episode is my attempt to answer that question. Not from another research study. Not from another interview. And definitely not to give you one more thing to add to your already busy schedule. Instead... I'd like to share a five-year experiment I never realized I was conducting—one that completely changed the way I think about health, movement, recovery, and human performance. Five Years Looking for the Answer When I started wearing a WHOOP device back in April of 2021, just before my fiftieth birthday, I thought I was buying a fitness tracker. I thought it would help me train harder. I thought it would reward intensity. Instead... It spent the next five years teaching me something far more valuable. How to recover. Over those five years I've tracked nearly everything I could measure. Sleep. Movement. Recovery. Resting heart rate. Heart rate variability. VO₂ Max. Biological age. Blood work. Thousands of workouts. And more than 1,905 recoveries. Nearly two thousand mornings of waking up and asking my body the same question. How well did I recover? At first, I didn't really know what I was looking for. I simply assumed the harder I trained... the healthier I'd become. The Mystery Then WHOOP introduced a new metric. WHOOP Age. The first time I looked at it, I honestly couldn't believe what I was seeing. My biological age measured 48.7 years old. I was fifty-five. More than six years younger biologically than chronologically. Of course, my first question wasn't, "That's great." My first question was... Why? What was I doing that created this result? Naturally, I assumed it was my hardest hikes. My toughest strength workouts. The mornings I pushed myself until I was completely exhausted. But that's not what the data showed. Not even close. The biggest contributor wasn't intensity. It was consistency. Daily walks. Steady hikes. Hours spent moving in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. The very workouts I used to think "didn't count." Ironically, even today, after finishing a workout, I still catch myself hoping to see more time in Zone 4 or Zone 5. Old beliefs don't disappear overnight. Part of me still believes harder must be better. But five years of data kept telling me a different story. A Belief I Had to Unlearn For most of my life, I believed exercise was supposed to leave me exhausted. If I wasn't completely out of breath... If I wasn't drenched in sweat... If I wasn't barely able to walk back to my car... I assumed I hadn't worked hard enough. Maybe you've felt that way too. We grew up hearing... "No pain, no gain." But neuroscience—and my own data—kept challenging that belief. The movement that felt the easiest... was quietly producing the greatest return. Daily walks. Easy hikes with friends. Walking my dogs along the canal. Consistent aerobic movement. Those weren't "easy days." Those were adaptation days. And slowly, my definition of success began to change. The Moment Everything Changed A few days ago something happened. After nearly five years... and more than 1,905 recoveries... I recorded my highest recovery ever. 98%. For a few moments I celebrated the score. Then something much more meaningful hit me. That number wasn't created overnight. It wasn't the result of one perfect night's sleep. Or one incredible workout. Or one supplement. Or one recovery tool. It represented five years of learning to work with my biology instead of against it. That's when everything finally clicked. Recovery isn't passive. Recovery is where adaptation happens. It's where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where hormones rebalance. It's where your cardiovascular system grows stronger. It's where yesterday's movement becomes tomorrow's performance. Movement starts the conversation. Recovery is where your body answers.   The Missing Piece That's when I realized something I wish someone had explained to me years ago. Movement isn't the goal. Recovery isn't even the goal. Adaptation is the goal. Movement is simply the signal that tells your biology... "Build something stronger." Recovery is when your body actually does the work. Adaptation is the result. Performance becomes the evidence. That is The Movement Loop. Move. Recover. Adapt. Perform. One connected system.   What My Data Shows When I stopped looking at individual workouts and started looking at years of trends, the story became remarkably clear. My resting heart rate dropped. My recovery improved. My biological age became younger. My weekly movement consistently averaged more than seven hours in Heart Rate Zones 1 through 3. None of those changes happened because of one extraordinary workout. They happened because of thousands of ordinary choices repeated over and over again. That's how biology changes. Quietly. Consistently. Patiently. Five Lessons Five Years and 1,905 Recoveries Taught Me Looking back over nearly five years—and more than 1,905 recoveries—I realize I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching my brain and body adapt in real time. Here are the five lessons I wish I had understood when I first started this journey. Lesson 1: Movement prepares the brain. One of the biggest insights from Dr. Chuck Hillman's research is that movement doesn't just strengthen our muscles—it prepares our brains to learn and perform. Every walk increases blood flow. Every hike stimulates Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor, or BDNF, helping the brain build and strengthen neural connections. I've noticed this in my own life. On the days I move first, I think more clearly, focus longer, solve problems more easily, and simply show up as a better version of myself. Movement isn't something I do after work anymore. It's how I prepare for my work. Lesson 2: Consistency beats intensity. For years, I believed the hardest workout was the best workout. My data taught me something completely different. The biggest improvements in my health didn't come from one exhausting hike or one intense strength session. They came from showing up every single day. Walking the canal. Taking the dogs out. Choosing another easy hike. Stopping to talk with people on the trails. It took me years to ask one person their name, after seeing them on the trails for over 10 years! Repeating those small decisions (and actions) over and over again. The body doesn't transform because we occasionally do something extraordinary. It transforms because we consistently do the ordinary. Lesson 3: Recovery is where adaptation happens. This may have been the biggest surprise of all. For years, I thought recovery meant taking a break from making progress. Now I understand that recovery is the progress. Recovery is where muscles rebuild. It's where the brain consolidates learning. It's where the nervous system recalibrates. It's where your body responds to the signal that movement created. Without recovery, movement is simply stress. With recovery, movement becomes adaptation. Lesson 4: Small daily habits create extraordinary results. When I recorded my highest recovery ever—98%—(just this week) I realized something important. That number wasn't created by one perfect night of sleep. It wasn't one workout. It wasn't one supplement. It wasn't one infrared sauna session. It represented thousands of small decisions repeated consistently over five years. Morning sunlight. Walking. Strength training. Prioritizing sleep. Breathwork. Meditation. Recovery. None of those habits seem remarkable on their own. Together, they completely changed my biology. And then I was able to create PREDICTABLE results with recovery, once I fully understood it. Lesson 5: Every step is an investment in your future brain. This may be the most important lesson of all. Most of us exercise because we want to look better or feel better today. But neuroscience tells us something even more powerful. Every walk you're taking today is helping build the brain you'll rely on years from now. Every time you move, you're strengthening the systems that support attention, memory, emotional regulation, cardiovascular health, and resilience. You may not notice those changes tomorrow. I certainly didn't. It took me nearly five years—and 1,905 recoveries—to truly appreciate what my body had been quietly building all along. That's why I no longer think of movement as exercise. I think of it as one of the greatest investments I can make in my future health, my future brain, and the quality of my life. Because every step you take today is a vote for the person you're becoming tomorrow.   Practical Application If you're wondering where to start... Start walking. Walk before work. Walk after dinner. Walk with your family. Walk with your dog. Strength train two or three times each week. It doesn't take a lot to see noticeable gains. Protect your sleep. Track trends instead of chasing perfection. Then tomorrow morning ask yourself one simple question. Not... "How hard should I train today?" Instead... How can I move today? One question. One decision. Repeated consistently. That's how change begins. Review and Conclusion As we wrap up this bonus episode, let's step back and look at what we've learned throughout this first part of Phase 3. Movement prepares the brain. Recovery builds the body. Adaptation changes our biology. Performance becomes the evidence. Five years ago, I thought movement was the goal. Today I know better. Movement is the signal. Recovery is the builder. Adaptation is the transformation (that we can see) Performance is the evidence (or what we were aiming for in the first place). After nearly 1,905 recoveries, I finally understand why recovery matters. Not because it helps us rest. Because it helps us become. Looking back, I wasn't simply collecting health data. I was watching neuroscience unfold in real time. The greatest improvements in my health didn't come from my hardest workouts. They came from thousands of ordinary decisions repeated consistently over time. We can go back to our early episodes[iii] to hear the importance of repetition. That's how human performance is built. Not through one breakthrough moment. But through daily choices that quietly reshape the brain, strengthen the body, and prepare us for whatever comes next. So wherever you're listening today... Whether you're heading out for a walk... Driving home from work... Finishing a workout... Or simply deciding how you'll move tomorrow... Remember this. Every step is a vote for your future self. Move today. Recover tonight. Adapt tomorrow. Live younger tomorrow. Until next time... Keep moving. Keep learning. Keep adapting. Because every step you take today is helping build a healthier, stronger, and more resilient version of yourself tomorrow.   REFERENCES:   [i]  Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 402 “Phase 3 Intro: How Movement Builds the Brain https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-loop-how-everyday-action-rewires-your-brain-and-boosts-performance/   [ii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 403 “How movement Activates the Brain and Learning”  https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/movement-first-how-a-20%e2%80%91minute-walk-lights-up-the-brain/   [iii]Neuroscience Meets Social and Emotional Learning Podcast EPISODE 38 https://andreasamadi.podbean.com/e/assistant-coach-to-the-winnipeg-jets-todd-woodcroft-on-the-daily-grind-in-the-nhl/

During Ep. 38 of the Ask the Law Firm Seller Show, Jeremy E. Poock, Esq. addresses the following question: I wish that my Internal Successor showed more interest in Bus. Dev. What can I do to explain the importance of Bus. Dev. to owning a law firm? When addressing this question, Poock begins by asking: What's the issue here?   The underlying issue relates to the following:   Who wants and needs to purchase a law firm and who does not?   Even though most law firm sellers would prefer that their internal successors a/k/a key employee attorneys succeed to owning their law firms, in reality, most key employee lawyers do not want to purchase their boss' small business law firm, and they cannot afford to either. Instead, most key employee lawyers want a Reliable, Predictable, and Safe job.   Rather than focusing on how to explain the importance of Bus. Dev. to key employee lawyers, Poock advises that law firm sellers instead consider their key employee lawyers as key assets of their firms.   Poock also points out that Growing Law Firms want and need the following 3 resources to boost their growth:   (1) New clients;   (2) Experienced and talented lawyers and non-lawyer staff; and   (3) Digital content to attract the attention of today's and tomorrow's clients who continue to search online for lawyers and law firms to hire.   Poock then distinguishes between the following:   (a) The 4 winners that result when Senior Attorney-led firms sell to or merge with a Growing Law Firm, namely: (i) The Senior Attorney seller(s) who monetizes their law firm; (ii) Key employee lawyers and support staff who often join a purchasing law firm and win by maintaining their Reliable, Predictable, and Safe jobs; (iii) Clients of a selling law firm who win because they will continue to benefit from ongoing, competent and zealous reputation; and (iv) Growing Law Firms who benefit from instant client growth, enhancing their workforce; and benefiting from receiving literally treasure chests of digital content to attract the attention for potential clients via Multi-Channel Digital Marketing.   (b) Short-Term & Long-Term Negative Impacts of a Random Tuesday Event: Poock explains that when Senior Attorneys wait too long to recognize that their key employee lawyers do not want to purchase their boss' law firm, those key employee lawyers could wind-up giving them either 2 or 4 weeks notice on a “Random Tuesday” about leaving to join another firm.   In that event, Senior Attorney owners lose revenues in the short-term due to loss of billings and general productivity by a key employee lawyer who unexpectedly departs their firm.  Long-term, their law firms lose value because many law firm purchasers want and need to hire a selling firm's key employee lawyers and staff to continue representing the clients of a selling law firm.   In conclusion, Poock points out that even though most law firm sellers prefer that their key employee lawyers become better rainmakers in advance of pursuing an internal succession plan, Growing Law Firms typically present a more viable purchaser for their law firms, including their recognition of the following: That key employee lawyers and support staff comprise a major component of a selling law firm's value.

The US and Iran are striking each other again over the Strait of Hormuz. Predictable. We must all remember if we are ever going to put a stop to this mess we need to clean up our House at home. With Sen Lindsey Graham dead the most Zionist person left in congress is without a doubt Randy Fine. Randy has a primary August 18th. in the 6th district of Florida.Today he was the only Republican to vote against adding the Save America Act, to the 2027 State Department funding bill, which would require a ID to vote in federal elections. In any other first world country in the world a citizen needs an ID to show proof of citizenship. But in America illegals can still vote which is insane. The reason Randy voted no was not because of the context of the bill but because he is having personal beef with Alex Bruesewitz. Fine threatened the White House and GOP leadership, stating he will vote against every rule on the House floor until Trump fires Bruesewitz.“The two have been engaged in a weeks long rivalry on the social media platform X that started when Bruesewitz made an appearance on “The Tucker Carson Show” podcast. Carlson referred to Fine on the show as a “that creepy fat guy from Florida who endorsed genocide.”Randy's key opponent is Dan Bilzerian, who has currently raise more money and has people knocking door to door in Florida now to get rid of Randy Fine. Because of Randy's pettiness he might not get Endorsed by Trump this go around.He is in danger of losing this race. What a glorious year it would be indeed with Lindsey Graham dead. Mitch McConnell resigning and dying, and randy Fine might lose his seat in the primary. If this happens we could get Congressmen Dan Bilzerian as this area of Florida is automatically Republican.

Podcast Episode Description: "It's an exit plan, not an exit due." Host Laurie Barkman sits down with Alan Bennett, founder of Trust Built Solutions and exit planning coach who has lived through three very different business exits — a retail meat market that he closed in 2008, a contract catering business that a seller-financed deal and COVID unraveled in 2020, and a psychiatric practice exit to private equity where he finally got to use every lesson he had learned the hard way. Alan's story is one of the most honest and unfiltered accounts of what owner dependency really costs — not just in valuation, but in hours, health, relationships, and missed opportunities. He shares the trust cycle that unlocks delegation, the trap that keeps owners perpetually in the weeds, and why exit planning isn't about selling — it's about building a business that actually works without you.   Key Insights You can build a $2 million business and still have nothing to sell. Alan's first business did over $2 million in combined retail and catering revenue — but without systems, processes, or a team that could run without him, he had no transferable asset when the time came. When the landlord forced the issue in 2008, closing was the only option. The business had value in revenue but none in structure. The tape measure at 2am is the moment owner dependency becomes visible. Alan snuck into his meat market at 2am to measure steaks with a tape measure — and his team saw it on the security camera. That moment destroyed their trust in him. Owner dependency isn't just about overwork — it's about the signal you send your team every time you step in to fix what they should be handling. Trust is the real solution to owner dependency — and it flows both ways. Owners think the problem is whether they trust their team. The real problem is whether the team trusts the owner. Trust must be rebuilt the same way it was broken, consistently over time. Once the team sees the owner trust them, delegation follows — and with delegation comes purpose, accountability, and a business that runs without the owner in every room. Recurring contract revenue changes everything about valuation. Alan's second business had almost the same revenue as his first — but seven school contracts and two summer camp agreements made it dramatically more valuable on paper. The nature of the cash flow matters as much as the size of the revenue. Predictable, contracted income is what buyers pay premiums for. Seller financing without protective deal structure is a catastrophic risk. Alan's chef bought the catering business on a 10-year seller note — and COVID made him unable to pay after four months. Because the right protective language wasn't in the agreement, Alan had no real recourse beyond liquidating equipment at pennies on the dollar. The deal structure must be built before the agreement is signed, not after something goes wrong. Exit planning is not the same as selling — and most owners don't know the difference. Many business owners, especially in the trades, recoil at the phrase "exit planning" because they think it means they're selling. Alan reframes it: a well-executed exit plan makes the business easier to grow, easier to finance, and easier to scale — whether you ever sell or not. The best time to start was 20 years ago. The second best time is today.   Chapters: 00:05 Introduction of Alan Bennett 01:13 Business #1: The Retail Meat Market 06:34 100 Hours a Week and the Physical and Mental Toll 08:45 The $30,000 Consultant and the Map He Couldn't Read 10:23 Closing the Business: No Runway, No Plan 12:30 The Anger After the Close — And What He Learned 14:00 Business #2: The Contract Catering Company 15:51 How Recurring Contracts Changed the Business Model 18:30 Working 25 Hours a Week in Flip Flops 19:30 The Seller-Financed Deal with His Chef 21:21 COVID Hits: Four Payments In, Everything Stops 25:18 Liquidating the Assets and Licking the Wounds 27:54 Business #3: The Psychiatric Practice Exit to Private Equity 29:30 Owner Dependency — Calling It What It Is 30:55 The 2am Tape Measure Story That Changed Everything 33:30 How Trust Is Broken — And How It's Rebuilt 35:57 The Owner Dependency Trap: Bridging the Gap 40:31 Exit Plan vs. Exit Due — The Reframe That Changes Everything 41:44 Key Takeaways for Business Owners Thinking About Transition   Is your business truly ready—and are you?

Hustle can get you started. But systems are what let you scale. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down how to turn raw hustle into predictable infrastructure and build a company that does not depend on your personal adrenaline every day. Let's be real… If the business only moves when you move… If every task depends on your memory… If every new hire needs you to explain the same thing over and over… You do not have a scalable company. You have a treadmill. In this episode, you'll learn: Why brute force does not scale long term How undocumented processes turn founders into bottlenecks Why standard operating procedures create predictable execution How strong infrastructure makes your business more valuable and sellable The truth is simple: A real business needs a playbook. Not just hustle. Not just charisma. Not just late nights. Not just founder energy. It needs documented systems. Clear training. Quality control. Repeatable execution. And operators who can run the machine without needing you in every detail. High-level CEOs do not keep the process trapped in their head. They record it. Write it down. Train the team. Build the system. And eventually, the playbook starts running the company. Stop relying on adrenaline. Build the infrastructure. Empower the operators. Step into the visionary role. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

Predictable, Daniel 2, with Pete Chiofalo by Keller, Texas

Most interviews sound the same.Safe questions. Predictable answers. Polite agreement.But every now and then, something different happens.A moment of silence.An unexpected question.A shift in energy that makes everyone lean in.In this episode, I sit down with Alfie Joey – former BBC presenter – to explore what actually makes an interview memorable.Alfie has interviewed prime ministers, celebrities and business leaders. We talk about why over-preparation can make you more natural, how one repeated question can break through any defence, and why the best interviewers never make it about themselves.Alfie shares stories from the field – from interviewing Peter Mandelson in a completely unexpected way, to creating a room-wide “chocolate moment,” to asking one simple question that left an entire audience in silence.If you host a podcast or want to have better conversations, this episode will change how you think about asking questions.What You'll Learn:- How to create (or spot) powerful interview moments- The danger of putting yourself in the story- How to challenge guests without confrontation- Why most questions lead nowhere – and how to fix that- The simple LinkedIn trick to make interviews freshIn This Episode:04:08 – The Power of Over-Preparation08:00 – Interviewing Peter Mandelson 12:27 – The LinkedIn Trick for Better Questions16:54 – Why Listening Is the #1 Skill18:30 – Never Put Yourself in the Story23:30 – The Chocolate Interview Moment29:35 – Following the Audience, Not the Plan50:47 – Why You Must Watch Your RecordingsIf you want to run better interviews – and better conversations – this episode is for you.We hope you enjoy it.———————Connect with Alfie: LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/alfie-speakeasyguy-joey/ Website: https://alfiejoey.com/

Every startup pitch deck has a "why now" slide. Most of them are nonsense, barely considered, and only there to tick a box.But timing is more than a slide, it can make or break a company. It's the difference between pets.com and the trillion-dollar company selling the exact same idea a decade later.In this episode, Yaniv Bernstein sits down with Paul Orlando, who has built four startup accelerators supporting over 300 companies, including Hong Kong's first accelerator and a program in Rome run in partnership with the Vatican, and has taught entrepreneurship at USC for over a decade, where he also runs one of LA's largest startup incubators. Paul has spent years obsessing over a single question: why do some ideas succeed while near-identical ones fail years earlier? The answer became his book, ‘Why Now? How Good Timing Makes Great Products.'In this episode, you will:Learn Paul's framework of timing drivers, and the five that show up again and again: technology, social/behavioral change, regulation, installed base, and crisisWalk through the YouTube case study in detail to see how broadband penetration, digital camera adoption, and falling storage costs converged to make 2005 the right year, after the identical idea failed less than a decade earlierDiscover why first-mover advantage is much narrower than founders assume, and the two specific conditions (locking in customers, locking out competitors) required for it to actually workGet a framework for balancing founder agency against timing, because you can't will your way into good timing, but you also can't wait passively for the perfect moment to arriveTimestamps00:00 Coming Up...01:04 On Today's Show: Why Timing Matters01:44 Guest Intro: Paul Orlando02:42 Is 'Why Now' Predictable?05:40 Paul's Timing Drivers Framework08:44 Case Study: YouTube's Market Timing11:47 Business Model Shifts15:16 Case Study: Pets.com Unit Economics22:16 Case Study: AI Vibe Coding24:11 What Are 'Sleeping Beauty' Startups?27:46 Incorporating AI into Timing Drivers28:52 Collapse of Build Costs33:34 Case Study: Vera and Unit Economics of Voice35:15 False 'Why Now' Risks37:46 First Mover Reality40:33 Reid Hoffman on Blitzscaling41:49 Case Study: AT&T's Picturephone and Mobile Telephony46:31 Lessons on Failure and Agency54:09 Closing ThoughtsResources mentioned'Why Now?: How Good Timing Makes Great Products' by Paul Orlando: https://www.amazon.com/Why-Now-Timing-Makes-Products/dp/B0CYXSNMT3Paul's website, Startups Unplugged: https://startupsunplugged.comPaul on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/porlandoPaul on X/Twitter: https://twitter.com/porlandoThe PactHonor the Startup Podcast Pact!

Predictable revenue creates predictable freedom. In this episode of The Level Up Podcast, Paul Alex breaks down why recurring revenue is one of the strongest business models for building stability, valuation, and long-term wealth. Let's be real… If every month starts at zero… And you have to chase every dollar all over again… You are not building peace of mind. You are building pressure. In this episode, you'll learn: Why one-time sales can create unstable cash flow How recurring revenue turns clients into long-term value Why subscriptions, retainers, and residual systems increase business stability How predictable income can raise your company's valuation and reduce financial anxiety The truth is simple: The goal is not just to make a sale. The goal is to build continuity. Monthly retainers. Subscription access. Usage-based billing. Maintenance packages. Residual income streams. Systems that create value every month and get paid every month. High-level operators do not want to restart from zero every thirty days. They engineer recurring revenue. They build retention. They automate billing. They make their service so valuable that clients cannot afford to cancel. Because when the baseline is secure… The business breathes easier. The founder thinks clearer. And the company becomes more valuable. Stop starting over every month. Build the recurring model. Lock in the clients. Secure the baseline. And keep leveling up. Your Network is your NETWORTH!

The dominant structural shift underlined in this episode is the removal of the pricing floor for undifferentiated, repeatable IT work due to agentic AI adoption, especially in IT services and MSP operations. As described by Dave Sobel, this shift is not about wholesale job elimination but about AI absorbing routine, predictable execution, leaving human operators responsible for judgment and oversight. This change is illustrated by organizations such as OpenAI, where 97.9% of employees use AI agents, and by sector-wide hiring data tracked by SignalFire, revealing that software engineers—previously considered vulnerable—remain the largest share of new hires. The most consequential development is the clear division between executional work and judgment-based roles. Data from SignalFire shows that software engineers make up 55% of new tech hires, contrary to predictions of their displacement by AI. Similarly, ISC2's Cybersecurity Workforce Survey, reported by Dark Reading, finds entry-level cybersecurity roles are evolving rather than disappearing, with AI taking over routine triage and increasing demand for higher-level judgment skills. OpenAI's near-universal internal AI adoption supports the notion that employees are adapting their roles rather than being replaced outright. Further supporting developments include evidence from SplashTop, which measured that 53% of IT team capacity is spent on endpoint maintenance and repetitive tasks, areas highly susceptible to automation. The effect is heightened by macro trends—cited from Axios Macro and the NFIB—showing small businesses are actively reducing hiring plans and seeking solutions that remove the need for headcount growth. New MSP offerings, such as managed support teams available within 30 days, are scrutinized for repackaging traditional labor models vulnerable to rapid automation. For MSPs and IT service providers, the operational implication is the urgent need to reevaluate service lines, staffing, and pricing models. Services based on predictable, repeatable execution now face competition from AI-driven agentic work that operates with negligible marginal cost, eroding the business case for labor arbitrage and body-shopping models. The path to defensibility shifts toward services that require human judgment, oversight, and outcome-based delivery, with increased risk for firms reliant on commoditized execution. Sorting offerings by their exposure to automation and focusing investment in non-automatable, judgment-driven roles becomes a practical risk mitigation approach. 00:00 The Most-Hired Casualty  04:19 Which Half It Eats 07:06 The Rent-a-Team Trap 09:47 Why Do We Care?  Supported by:  Pax8  Sign up for the SMB Online Conference: www.smbonlineconference.com
