Heads up — this is Part 2 of Jamie's conversation with Jaclyn Taylor If you haven't heard Part 1 yet, go back and start there. It sets up everything we unpack today. Most healthcare teams are working hard. They're just not working together. And the patient is the one absorbing the cost. In this second half of the conversation, Jamie and Jaclyn move from the why into the how. What does it actually look like when a provider stops responding to today's schedule and starts managing an entire patient panel? How do you turn a community health worker, a pharmacist, a PT, and a social worker into one coordinated team instead of four parallel ones? And what's the difference between data that produces reports and data that produces decisions? You'll hear: Why "frequent touches" only work when they're connected — and how fragmented touches still land patients back in the hospital The quarterback model — what it actually means for a provider to own a patient's trajectory, not just their visit The shift from seeing patients to managing a population — and why most providers were never taught how Why we don't have a resource problem in healthcare — we have an orchestration opportunity How to use technology and data without drowning in either What "showing up" really means inside a system that isn't perfect yet This is the episode for anyone trying to lead change from inside a system that's still catching up.

What does it take to build a thriving, high-performance culture inside one of the fastest-growing tech companies in the world, without ever requiring a college degree to get in the door? Mandy Mekhail, Chief of Staff of People at ClickUp, went from teaching in a classroom to leading the people function at a 1,200-person global company, and her journey is anything but conventional. In this episode, Mandy pulls back the curtain on ClickUp's non-traditional hiring philosophy, their obsession with onboarding excellence, and how they're turning AI agents into literal coworkers on the org chart. Whether you're an HR professional, a people leader, or simply curious about where work is headed, this conversation will challenge the way you think about hiring, culture, and the role of AI in your organization. Don't miss it. Key Timestamps [00:00:00] — Introduction: Mandy's Unconventional Path to People Leadership From educator to customer support to Chief of Staff of People at ClickUp, Mandy shares the leap of faith that started it all and the mindset that carried her through. [00:03:00] — Joining ClickUp at Employee #110 Mandy reflects on what it was like to join ClickUp when it had fewer than 100 functional employees and what it's meant to watch it scale to 1,200 people globally. [00:04:00] — The Role That Shaped Everything: Building the Quality Team Six months into ClickUp, Mandy was tasked with building the customer support quality function — and it became the role that fused her education background with her passion for people impact. [00:05:00] — Recruiting Power Users: ClickUp's Unconventional Hiring Strategy Forget job boards. ClickUp finds top talent by recruiting passionate product users from online forums and communities — and it's still a core part of their strategy today. [00:07:00] — Why ClickUp Dropped the Degree Requirement From Day One CEO Zeb Evans made a deliberate call early on: if a bachelor's degree isn't the real signal of capability, don't require it. Mandy explains how skills, integrity, and passion took its place. [00:09:00] — The Interview Question That Reveals Everything One question ClickUp asks every candidate regardless of role: "Give me an example of when you showed fortitude." Mandy explains why resilience is the great equalizer in hiring. [00:10:00] — Onboarding 500 Employees with a 99% KPI Success Rate Within 90 Days Mandy breaks down the layered, outcome-first onboarding framework that got new hires fully productive in weeks — by embedding them in the product from day one. [00:13:00] — Maintaining Culture Across Time Zones, Countries, and Hub Offices With teams spanning San Diego, Dublin, Sydney, Manila, and beyond, Mandy shares how a shared mission and core values become the unifying force across global subcultures. [00:15:00] — Preventing Burnout in a High-Growth, Fast-Shipping Environment High expectations don't have to mean burnout. Mandy explains why clear communication and respectful manager relationships are the real guardrails — not just PTO policies. [00:17:00] — Practical Boundaries in a Always-On World Mandy shares her personal rule: the ClickUp mobile app gets turned off at 5 PM. A small habit with a big message about modeling the boundaries you want your team to keep. [00:18:00] — Inclusion at Scale: How ClickUp Runs Global All-Hands Meetings Rotating time zones, recorded sessions, and a commitment to giving every employee the opportunity to attend live — Mandy breaks down what operational inclusion actually looks like. [00:19:00] — Why Every Single Communication at ClickUp Lives Inside ClickUp No side channels. No email threads. Every conversation, every message, every decision — all in ClickUp. Here's why that radical commitment powers both inclusion and AI at scale. [00:22:00] — The AI Agent Hour: One Hour a Week That's Changing Everything ClickUp gives employees one dedicated hour per week to play with AI Super Agents — no agenda, no expectations. Mandy explains how this structured playtime is dismantling fear and unlocking innovation. [00:27:00] — Advice for HR Leaders Who Are Afraid of AI Mandy's message to people leaders sitting on the fence: don't let your own fear set the tone for the rest of your organization. Start by understanding it yourself — and lean into your compliance and legal superpowers along the way. [00:29:00] — Where AI Has Made the Biggest Impact in the People Function Tier-one operational tasks are the obvious win, but Mandy points to something most HR teams are still missing: using AI for sentiment analysis of HR processes — and why that's the next frontier. [00:31:00] — AI as a Multiplier, Not a Replacement On the noise around AI layoffs, Mandy is clear: ClickUp treats AI agents as coworkers, not substitutes. They even appear on the org chart with the same data architecture as human employees. [00:33:00] — 5,000 AI Agents for 1,200 Employees Inside ClickUp's internal "agent wins" channel and Help Wanted Board — a grassroots knowledge-sharing system that has resulted in more AI agents than people at the company. [00:36:00] — Closing Thoughts: Don't Be Afraid to Try Something for the First Time Mandy's parting challenge to every listener — whether you're in tech or not: dive in, explore, and trust that understanding AI will transform how you see your role, your team, and your future.

As society evolves, so do the dynamics of faith communities, and leaders must adapt to these shifts to remain relevant and impactful.Carey Nieuwhof and Eric Bryant explore the future of the church in the context of modern challenges and opportunities. With the rise of AI disruption, many wonder how technology will reshape religious practices and community engagement. The potential for AI to influence church operations and outreach is immense, yet it also presents unique challenges that require thoughtful navigation.The interview delves into how Christian leadership can harness these changes to foster deeper connections and spiritual growth.

In this episode of Future Fuzz, Harry Duran sits down with Bianca Bruno, Associate VP of Paid Search at Good Apple, to unpack what marketing leadership actually looks like in the age of AI, automation, and rapidly evolving search behavior. Bianca explains why AI isn't replacing marketers—but instead pushing them to become more analytical, strategic, and business-minded.The conversation dives into how modern search teams are shifting away from manual optimization toward deeper data analysis, how agencies should think about AI as a co-pilot rather than a replacement, and why fundamentals like keyword strategy, audience targeting, and business context still matter more than ever.Bianca also shares how she maintains a remarkable 97% team retention rate by prioritizing mental health, communication, and real human connection in a hybrid work environment. From AI-driven media planning tools to the rise of Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) and changing consumer search behavior, this episode explores how agencies can adapt while staying grounded in the fundamentals that actually drive results.Guest BioBianca Bruno is the Associate Vice President of Paid Search at Good Apple, an independent media agency known for its data-driven marketing strategies. With over a decade of experience in paid search and performance marketing, Bianca leads teams responsible for optimizing complex campaigns across industries including retail and pharmaceutical.At Good Apple, Bianca focuses on combining human expertise with AI-powered tools to improve campaign performance, streamline media planning, and uncover new audience insights. She is particularly passionate about building strong teams, maintaining a people-first leadership approach, and helping marketers adapt to the rapidly evolving landscape of search, automation, and AI-driven marketing.TakeawaysAI is changing how marketers work—but not replacing them. Search marketers are shifting from manual optimization to analytical strategy and business thinking. The fundamentals of paid search—keywords, audience targeting, and campaign structure—still matter. AI works best as a co-pilot that enhances human expertise rather than replacing it. Answer Engine Optimization (AEO) is growing but brands shouldn't chase every AI query. Successful teams balance automation with human oversight and data validation. Retention and team health improve when leaders prioritize communication and mental wellness. Marketing innovation often comes from solving real workflow problems before they become major issues. Influencer marketing is evolving into a more structured ecosystem with specialized negotiation roles. Future marketing success will depend on adapting to changing consumer search behaviors and privacy expectations.Chapters00:00 Welcome and Introduction to Bianca Bruno 00:25 The Bears Win and Chicago Sports Energy 02:02 What Leading Paid Search Looks Like in the AI Era 03:46 How AI Is Changing the Daily Work of Search Marketers 06:12 Why Marketers Need to Think More Like CEOs 07:24 Building a Team That Thrives in a Rapidly Changing Industry 09:27 How Bianca Maintains a 97% Team Retention Rate 11:18 Preventing Burnout in High-Pressure Marketing Roles 12:42 Innovation as Solving Problems Before They Exist 14:05 How Teams Are Actually Using AI Tools Today 16:30 Is Google Search Really Losing Relevance? 20:17 Why Marketing Fundamentals Still Matter in the Age of Automation 21:33 Helping Clients Focus on the Right AEO Metrics 24:03 What Brands Get Wrong About AI Search Visibility 29:31 Why Modern Media Planners Must Become More Analytical 32:19 The Rise of Influencer Negotiation as a Marketing Discipline 35:05 How Consumer Search Behavior May Change Next 36:03 Career Advice for Marketers Entering the AI Era 39:20 Why Analog Experiences Are Making a Comeback 42:23 Closing Thoughts: Work Well With People FirstLinkedInFollow Bianca on LinkedIn Follow Harry on LinkedIn

There are some conversations you record where you know right away that they're going to land differently. In today's episode, I sit down with Dr. Julie Merriman, a therapist, professor, and longtime advocate for helpers who are quietly burning out. We talk about something that hits close to home for many of us in this profession: what happens when we're really good at helping everyone else, but don't know how to receive ourselves. Julie shares how so many therapists become what she calls "floating heads of competence." We're full of knowledge, skill, and clinical insight, yet deeply disconnected from our bodies, our needs, and our sense of purpose beyond performance. We talk honestly about burnout, compassion fatigue, money, boundaries, nervous system regulation, and why private practice itself isn't what burns us out. Disconnection is. This isn't a conversation about working harder or pushing through. It's about staying human in a profession that asks a lot of us, and learning how to stay in it without losing ourselves. If you've ever felt tired in a way that rest doesn't fix, this episode is for you.

The conversation highlights how she reached a breaking point and realized that true recovery requires more than just individual resilience, it requires systemic support. Kim and Shari explore the data behind the "My Work BALANCE" initiative, revealing that employee engagement with wellness tools soars only when leaders actively model participation and provide paid time for it.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso close out the Agent to CEO six-part series by unpacking the final and most critical milestone: The Leadership Flywheel. This conversation is all about building a self-managing, self-sustaining team—one that doesn't rely on you as the bottleneck. John and Joel break down how elite leaders design lean organizational structures, recruit true A-players, and create leadership development systems that generate momentum instead of burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your team, overwhelmed by people decisions, or unsure how to scale without chaos, this episode delivers the blueprint for moving from operator to architect—and leading at the CEO level. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Flywheel Explained What a flywheel really is—and why leadership must create momentum, not friction Why teams fail when leadership systems aren't intentional How leaders move from "doing" to designing the business Designing a Lean, Modern Org Structure Using the Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) to separate people from roles Why you must define functions before hiring humans How AI-first thinking reshapes org design and eliminates unnecessary roles A-Players, Defined What an A-player actually is (and what they are not) Why "job done 90% of the time within the pay range" is the real standard How resourcefulness separates high performers from everyone else AI, VAs, and Fractional Talent The correct order: AI → VAs → Fractional → Full-time Why hiring out of pain creates long-term damage How modern leaders raise the talent ceiling while lowering overhead Scorecards, Agreements, and Ownership Why expectations fail—and agreements win How data-driven scorecards eliminate ambiguity Creating clear ownership so leaders stop rescuing their team Leadership Development That Scales Why leadership isn't just for managers—it's for everyone Creating micro-leadership opportunities inside your organization The power of daily wins, public accountability, and cultural ownership Preventing Burnout in A-Players Why C-players burn out A-players faster than workload How to identify when roles need to split before performance drops Monitoring hours, opportunity alignment, and growth paths Resources & Mentions The Agent to CEO Framework Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Concepts from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, David Marquet Final Takeaway You don't scale by hiring more people—you scale by designing better leadership systems. The Leadership Flywheel isn't about control. It's about clarity, ownership, and momentum. When leaders design the structure, recruit intentionally, and develop leadership at every level, the business stops relying on them—and starts growing without them.

That's the flywheel." – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

Preventing Burnout Through Embodiment In this episode, I sit down with Julius, a leadership coach who knows firsthand what burnout feels like from his years in management consultancy. Julius shares how embodiment practices and organizational behavior can bridge the gap between what we know about burnout and what we actually do to prevent it. By tuning into body awareness and reconnecting with our physical vitality, leaders can develop practical ways to manage stress and protect their energy. Understanding and Preventing Burnout Julius and I opened up about our personal experiences with burnout, from sleepless nights and rising anxiety to withdrawing from activities that once brought joy. I emphasized the importance of digging into the deeper motivations that fuel burnout, while Julius outlined his approach using gestalt therapy and embodiment practices to restore balance and resilience in leaders. Balancing Emotions in Leadership Julius shared a story about coaching a leader to find the right balance between professional composure and authentic emotional expression. Rather than shutting down emotions, he helps leaders integrate them into healthier ways of working. I reflected on the historical challenges female leaders have faced and highlighted the urgent need for better leadership training that supports both emotional skills and professional growth. Enhancing Leadership Through Practical Skills We both agreed that leadership demands more than theory. Universities often miss the mark by not equipping students with the life skills they will actually need in the workplace such as emotional regulation, communication, and professional behavior. Together, Julius and I explored how these skills could reshape both education and organizational success. Self-Awareness in Leadership Development A key theme in our conversation was self-awareness. Julius and I discussed how clarity on personal values, needs, and goals drives more meaningful action and prevents burnout. I shared my own journey of recovery, where asking “why does this matter to me?” shifted everything. Julius emphasized that while organizations may fear the vulnerability that comes with self-exploration, the real risk lies in avoiding it altogether. Self-Regulation and Organizational Development Julius introduced his 4A model which stands for awareness, attraction, action, and alignment. This practical framework supports self-regulation and leadership growth. I recalled my time at Daimler-Benz, where inviting outside perspectives into project debriefs expanded capacity and improved results without additional hiring. Both of us stressed that feedback and reflection are non-negotiable for personal and organizational growth. The Value of Dialogue in Leadership Julius highlighted dialogue as a cornerstone of healthy organizations, helping leaders and teams release pressure and broaden perspective. I agreed, noting that genuine communication tears down silos and prevents misunderstandings before they grow into bigger issues. Embodied Leadership in Action To close, we explored Julius's work on embodied leadership and how listeners can learn more. If you want to deepen your leadership through embodiment, you can connect with Julius through his website or LinkedIn. Julius went from executive burnout in high-pressure tech environments to pioneering Embodied Leadership, a method that blends psychology, neuroscience, and somatic practices. As founder of the Alive School of Embodied Leadership & Transformation in Berlin, he helps leaders from startups to global enterprises sustain performance without burning out. A published author and Harvard Business Manager contributor, Julius shares practical “bodyhacks” and strategies to move from leadership frustration (Führungsfrust) to leadership joy (Führungslust). His approach offers listeners actionable tools to prevent burnout and thrive.

Are you exhausted from the endless demands of running your private practice? Preventing burnout in your private practice doesn't require another complicated strategy or expensive solution. In today's episode, I'm sharing one surprisingly simple tool that's probably been right in front of you all along.While we often talk about raising fees and being intentional with scheduling, I want to get back to something even more basic, something so simple that most therapists overlook it completely. This practice takes just minutes, costs nothing, and can happen right between sessions. It's helped me stay grounded when the demands of running my own business feel overwhelming, and it's given me the clarity to make better business decisions when I feel stuck. I'll walk you through the exact exercise I used to teach my clients that you can now use for yourself.Plus, I'll share why this particular approach cuts through that feeling of being trapped in your private practice when nothing seems to be working anymore.Topics covered on Preventing Burnout in Your Private Practice:Why the simplest practices are often the most effective for preventing burnout in your private practice, even though we tend to overlook themThe specific sensory practice I used to teach my clients that now keeps me grounded in my own businessFeeling stuck in your practice might have nothing to do with your actual circumstancesThe connection between pleasure and creative problem-solving in your private practiceConnect with Felicia:Get my freebie & join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachFacebook group: Healing MoneyResources from this episode:What Your Therapist Thinks podcastQuote:"Having these moments are going to make you feel like you are in your life instead of watching your life from afar." - Felicia

In this episode of World's Greatest Boss, we dig into one of the biggest challenges service-based business owners face: balancing client growth with team health. My guest, Borja Cuan, co-founder of 415 Digital, manages over $280 million in ad spend every year—and he's built a thriving business by doing something most agencies won't: keeping workloads small so his team can go deeper, deliver better results, and stay engaged.Together, we explore:Why hiring ahead of need can transform client experiences.The real reason employee retention is harder than ever—and how to handle it.How to spot overwhelm before it becomes burnout (and what to do about it).Why investing in personal well-being outside of work is just as important as managing workload inside of work.The overlooked power of relationship building and spending non-work time with your team.Borja's approach flips the typical agency model on its head—and his insights on retention, loyalty, and workload management will challenge how you think about leading your own team.By the end of this episode, you'll have fresh ideas for keeping your people motivated, building loyalty, and leading a team that doesn't just survive—but thrives.Connect with me on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jackiemkoch/Find more information on my website: https://peopleprinciples.coConnect with Borja Cuan on Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/borjacuanFind more information about Four15 Digital: https://four15digital.com/

Business coach Angie Callen shares how creative entrepreneurs can overcome perfectionism and imposter syndrome by embracing authenticity, focusing on serving clients rather than impressing peers, and implementing practical time and energy management strategies. Key Takeaways Successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else - being willing to get vulnerable and step in front of the camera is essential for video pros who want to build trust Focus on creating content for your potential clients rather than worrying what your peers will think - "generosity is the opposite of comparison" and collaboration beats competition Manage both your time AND energy by implementing theme days, time blocking, and scheduling your most challenging tasks during your peak energy hours About Angie Callen Angie Callen is an award-winning coach, international speaker, and obsessive entrepreneur who loves empowering others to lead amazing lives with thriving careers, all while embracing authenticity. She's a Carnegie Mellon graduate and former engineer known for her strategic, analytical, yet creative approach to marketing, sales, and business growth.

Perfectionism will hold you back more than it will push you forward, especially in entrepreneurship... The best antidote to the imposter syndrome is action." - Angie Callen "Your relationship, your personal relationship, your spouse, the person you choose to do life with will have just as much, if not more impact on the success of your business as you, because if you do not have a supportive one, you will not be successful." - Angie Callen "I think successful entrepreneurship is 80% mindset and 20% everything else. Because if your headspace isn't there and you don't have a little of that grit and a little of that conviction around what you're doing, the roller coaster of ups and downs... is going to make you real sick real fast." - Angie Callen "From a bigger picture strategy perspective, focus on one thing at a time, chunk it down because growing a business is a giant amorphous blob that is really hard to make sense of." - Angie Callen Guest Links Find Angie Callen online Listen to the No More Mondays podcast Learn more about The Modern Coach community Follow Career Benders on Instagram | Facebook Follow Angie Callen on Instagram Links Stop hiding and start showing up; learn more about the Video Cohort Join the Grow Your Video Business Facebook Group Follow Ryan Koral on Instagram Follow Grow Your Video Business on Instagram Check out the full show notes
Do you feel like there is more you have to share than you've been putting out there? It was at the age of 30 that I started to come into my own awareness around this and began the long and deep journey of untangling it. Of coming back into my own essence and seeking ways to express it. To meet myself in my purpose and create the life I really want to live - which can only happen when we come home to ourselves. And that is what we're talking about today. My guest, Eva Simone is a High-Frequency Feminine Mentor & Coach and helps women connect with and embody their Divine Feminine and she is the founder of Embodiment Is Everything. She shares her own story with us about how she went from living under these layers that we've created to keep ourselves safe but that also keep us in pain and strain, and how she got curious to begin to awaken to her feminine power. We'll learn how to begin to slow down and invite ourselves back in so that we can embrace and embody the parts of us that let us shine and let us find the flow. And when we can step into flow, it opens up all the possibilities. The world is a hustled place - but we can choose another way to create our abundance and do business and bring back the lightness and joy that I know is possible. So let's dive in.In this episode, you'll learn:How Eva defines the "Divine Feminine"How to untangle learned belief systems & come back to your truthHow hustle-culture can perpetuate scarcity mentality & lead to Burn-outHow divine feminine energy can help guide us back to balanceLinks:Activate Your Passion with Podcasting Visit: https://www.boss-goddess.co IG: @boss_goddess.co IG:@bossgoddessbarsi Pinterest: @bossgoddessbarsi More From Eva Simone:Visit: https://www.embodimentiseverything.com/Listen on Spotify: Feminine Power: The She-Volution PodcastWatch on Youtube: Embodiment Is EverythingIG: @evasimonecoachingLinkedIn: @evasimoneMore episodes on this topic:Embracing Feminine Leadership: Celebrating Success & Preventing Burnout w/ Lisa Malia NormanWhy It's NEVER Too Late To Find Your Light w/ Jo Ann RichardsThe KEY To Awakening Your Soul & Power w/ Christian De La HuertaThank you so much for listening!
