In this episode, Dr. Steve Judson and Dr. Drew Henderson talk about what it really means to show up — in your practice, in your profession, and in your life. Not for the photo op. Not for the postcard promising an extra $30,000 a month. But out of genuine obedience to the principle, love for the people on your table, and a commitment to something bigger than yourself. The doors that open in this profession don't open because you chased them. They open because you kept showing up, stayed humble, built real relationships, and let your work speak. From DE hallways to Mar-a-Lago — it's the same story. Obedience puts you in the room. Dr. Steve and Dr. Drew also remind every chiropractor listening: you cannot fake lasting purpose. Sell your patients on their own ability to heal — and nothing else. It's time to Wake Up Humans — to get quiet, get connected, and let that innate intelligence guide you. In the office and out of it. Become the hollow bone. How's your Atlas? Learn more at drstevejudson.com and check out Steve Judson's books and gear.

614 Conference Sunday Special Episode!In this moving and convicting message, legendary missionary Jackie Pullinger shares her heart on what it truly means to follow Jesus into the darkest corners of society. Drawing from her decades of experience in Hong Kong's Walled City, Jackie challenges the Church to move beyond comfortable ministry and embrace the "lurching disasters" of the world.In this message, Jackie discusses:- The Mandate of the Poor: Why ministry to the marginalized isn't an "optional extra" but the heart of the Gospel.- The Concept of Kenosis: How Jesus emptied Himself, and why our own "emptiness" is actually the doorway to God's abundance.- Handling Disappointment: Encouragement for those who have been "burnt" by ministry and how to find the grace to go again.- Spiritual Gifts: The practical necessity of the Holy Spirit's power when our own resources run dry.Jackie reminds us that we don't have to go to Hong Kong to find the lost—we simply need to start where we are, waste our "perfume" on the one in front of us, and trust that God will bring the harvest.Be sure to follow 614 Church online:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/614_church/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/614church/Website: https://www.614church.orgTo support our ministry, https://614church.org/give/To fill out a contact card so we can stay in touch, click the link below!https://614.churchcenter.com/people/forms/283193Until Everyone Knows Jesus.#614church0:00 – Introduction: Welcoming a Woman of God1:27 – Prophetic Song: "Will You See?

The post Illustrating The Principle With Humor – Matthew 7:3-5 – March 3, 2026 first appeared on Enduring Word.

Romans 11:18-22 — The history of Christianity has witnessed the decline of many churches. In this sermon on Romans 11:18-22, Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones attributes such declines to the drift away from true Christianity's vital principle, justification by faith alone. Dr. Lloyd-Jones urges listeners to learn the lessons from history and guard themselves and their churches against falling back into a system of justification by works. Regarding the churches that hold firm to the principle of justification by faith alone, be prepared to be persecuted by those who don't. This tendency has been borne out in church history as evidenced by the persecution inflicted on the true church by the Jews and the also the apostate church. Please note that in a rare departure from customary practice, the original editor of the MLJ Trust recordings decided to include the tail end of the last hymn prior to the commencement of the sermon. This was presumably in order to make sense of Dr Lloyd-Jones's opening admonition to his congregation as to the quality of their singing on that particular Friday evening at Westminster chapel!

Welcome back to another episode of the Couple Casuals Podcast!In this episode, Stefano sits down with Cait Alexander — advocate, survivor, artist, and founder of a nonprofit dedicated to ending intimate partner violence — for a raw, courageous, and deeply personal conversation about survival, justice, politics, and the urgent need for change in Canada.Cait walks through her journey from living a public life in fashion and entertainment to surviving a brutal attempted murder at the hands of her ex-partner — and how the justice system ultimately failed to bring her case to trial.

The sermon centers on the transformative principle of reception as the foundation of healthy relationships and spiritual maturity, rooted in the biblical narrative of Adam's recognition of Eve as 'bone of my bone, flesh of my flesh'—a declaration of divine acceptance and gratitude. It argues that a spirit of rejection, often formed in early life or perpetuated in marriage, family, and church, hinders personal and relational fulfillment, while genuine reception—viewing others as perfect gifts from God, even in their imperfections—liberates them to become all they were created to be. Drawing from Scripture, including Christ's reception by believers and Paul's call to receive one another as Christ has received us, the message emphasizes that God sees the finished work in every person, and when we receive others through that same divine perspective, we release them to grow and serve their purpose. The sermon challenges listeners to examine their lives for hidden patterns of rejection, urging repentance and a conscious decision to receive spouses, children, parents, siblings, church members, and even oneself as God's intentional, perfect gifts, thereby inviting healing, unity, and spiritual freedom.

We've all sat in a one-to-one that felt like a grilling rather than a genuine conversation. And if you're leading a team, you might be doing the same thing without even realising it. In this episode, we're sharing 10 principles to help you run one-to-ones that actually work, both for the people you manage and for the one-to-ones you have with your own line manager.Nobody teaches you how to do this well. Most of us copy what we experienced, which means the same unhelpful patterns get passed down from manager to manager. We cover the fundamentals that break that cycle, from who should own the agenda to how often you should actually be meeting.Key points from this episodeWhy one-to-ones should be employee-driven, not manager-led — and what that looks like in practiceThe difference between a one-to-one and a status update (and why confusing the two is costing you)How to distinguish between different types of one-to-ones and why mixing them into one conversation doesn't serve anyoneWhy consistency matters more than length or frequency — and the message you send when you cancelThe simple follow-up habit that makes one-to-ones genuinely useful over timeTimestamps00:00 Introduction — why one-to-ones come up so often with clients01:00 Why nobody is ever taught how to run a good one-to-one02:30 The research linking effective one-to-ones to high-performing teams03:30 Principle 1: One-to-ones should be employee-driven, not manager-driven04:15 Principle 2: They are for development, not just reporting05:00 Principle 3: Make space for the human, not just the work06:50 The cost of one-to-ones that feel like interrogations — a real client example09:00 Principle 4: Distinguish between different types of one-to-ones11:00 Principle 5: Come with an agenda — and who should own it13:30 How to prompt agenda preparation as a line manager14:30 Principle 6: Status updates don't belong in one-to-ones16:20 How proactive communication outside one-to-ones can transform the dynamic18:00 Principle 7: Consistency matters more than length19:30 Principle 8: Shorter, focused meetings often outperform longer ones20:00 What's the right frequency?

Week one is titled Deceptive Diagnosis, and we're going to look at what happens when our feelings fool us and what to do about it.We'll be digging into Jeremiah 17:9–10, and discovering why God's perspective on our circumstances is always clearer than our own.

Who is Joe?Joe Abreu is the creator of the Profit Optimization Program, designed specifically for small to medium-sized business owners striving to bridge the gap between hard work and real profit. After years of working closely with business owners who frequently asked him how to translate increased revenue into greater profits, Joe began collecting and analyzing their recurring challenges. Drawing on these insights, he developed a results-driven program to help entrepreneurs break free from the cycle of endless work and unlock their businesses' true financial potential. Through his work, Joe has empowered countless business owners to move beyond just doing more and instead focus on building businesses that reach their full profitability.Key Takeaways* Many business owners work harder, but profits still lag behind. Joe Abreu reminds us: true success comes from understanding your numbers, not just chasing more sales. Clarity leads to freedom.* Are you slashing expenses without strategy? Joe says test each change. Don't cut blindly—learn what truly moves the needle for your business growth.* Delegation scares a lot of owners—what will I do once I delegate? According to Joe, it's your chance to step back, innovate, and focus on what really matters.* The 80/20 Principle changed Joe's business life: focus on the 20% of tasks that create 80% of results. Systemize, delegate, and start freeing up your time for what counts.* Your business shouldn't be golden shackles. Profit optimization is about designing your business to give you freedom and the life you dreamed of when you started.Don't forget: If you want to connect, ask questions, or get notified about upcoming guests like Joe, subscribe to the Systemise.Me newsletter here.

Five questions over coffee. I'm here with my guest today, Joe Abro. Joe is the author of the profit optimization program which I'm really excited to learn about. And Joe, I just want to thank you for taking a few minutes out of what I'm sure is a very busy day to spend a few minutes with us talking about this new program and the book you've written.Stuart Webb [00:01:00]:Oh, thank you for having me, Stuart. It is a pleasure to be here today.Stuart Webb [00:01:04]:Terrific. Now listen, let's start why. So who is it that this book is written for? Who is it, if you like the person you're trying to help by giving them access to the profit optimization program?Stuart Webb [00:01:17]:A great question. The profit optimization program was set up to service the small to medium sized business owners. That's pretty much everyone everywhere who's working exceptionally hard, trying to do their best that they can. But the revenue and the profits are just not connecting. We're just doing more work, but we're just not seeing the bottom line. We're not really seeing what we could, how best we can be. And so what I've done is over the years I collected all the information from different business owners that asked me questions over and over. How do I get the revenue to actually create more profit? Because sometimes we put in more business, we create more business, but we never get to the very end.Stuart Webb [00:02:06]:Right. The profit doesn't translate just the same way. And that's where the profit optimization program was born, which is the collection of all these business owners. Over the years. In my experience as a business owner, I've had the opportunity to purchase businesses, to merge them. I have also to sell, so, you know, have sold them. So that's given me a lot of experience to share.Stuart Webb [00:02:28]:And, and Joe, I mean you've obviously been through this, this program yourself, but what have you found when you've been talking to these people? What have they been trying to do to, to help themselves from, you know, the situation where the, the profits are somehow not quite adding up. What, what do you see as some of the common things they try to do, which, which are not, which are not effectively helping them?Stuart Webb [00:02:49]:Oh yes. So we see a few common things happen over and over. The first one I would say is in most business owners, what they do is when they look at their profit, it's not matching the revenue or it's not translating to the profits. They'll just say, well, let's go ahead and just do more sales, let's just increase the revenue side. Right. That's the most common thing. I mean, it makes sense. I mean, that's exactly what we would all do as business owners.Stuart Webb [00:03:14]:So let's just go ahead and put more deals through the pipeline and to see if that translates into profit. The second thing that we often see common mistakes or things that are slowing them down that probably they can improve would be looking at their expenses and not slashing them all at once. Because what happens is they start going through the whole business, all of their expense list, and what they'll do is start slashing everything without testing one thing or another and then impacting the business. The third thing that they do very often is just hand over the books to an accountant or a bookkeeper and not really learning their own numbers. And I'm guilty of that. As a business owner, I just want to do the sales. I want to get out there, I want to get involved, I want to grow, and I don't want to see the numbers all the time. But if we don't learn our own numbers, how do we know how to impact? How do we improve them, how to slash some of the expenses? So we have to learn those numbers.Stuart Webb [00:04:17]:And, you know, lastly, what they do is they try to do all of these things at one time versus trying one step at a time to see what works and what doesn't work.Stuart Webb [00:04:29]:Absolutely, absolutely. I've just put on the screen, you know, if anybody has questions or comments on what you've just said, I. I'd love to see them in the chat, because I know you and I will respond to that. And I'm sure there are people that have got questions about, you know, how do I best get these numbers and what do I understand by them? And I know exactly what you're saying. Too many of us actually don't want to have to look at numbers. We see that as a dull, boring, administrative job. But actually, it's when you start to see those and you understand them that these optimizations become obvious, isn't it? It's the time when you suddenly recognize the, hey, if I actually sort of develop the area that, you know. And we often find that customers are the best sources of these things.Stuart Webb [00:05:15]:If I develop this, that would be a much more profitable area than just chasing the new customer and things like that. That's the sort of insight you get by looking properly at what your numbers, what your CRM, things like that tell you.Stuart Webb [00:05:27]:Oh, absolutely. It's the clarity to see where you are. That's why I say often that at Globis are our company. What we do is we take a look at every step of the business and we break it apart in a very positive way. And we're sort of the lens for the business. We close in or just maybe zoom out a little bit just to show them exactly what they have. Because most business owners, they have the right elements, they have the right tools. It's just that they don't really have the clarity to see which direction they should go where they should actually invest most of their time or money.Stuart Webb [00:06:07]:I love the advice. Joe. I know that you have got a very valuable free offer for us. I'm just going to point people in the direction. If you go to this link, this link is available now, which is if you go to www.systemize me/free hyphen stuff, you'll see Joe has put a very valuable offer which I believe is at the download, seven quick wins, which I think is a really valuable piece of advice that you're going to offer. Tell us about seven. Seven quick wins.Stuart Webb [00:06:37]:Yes, the seven quick wins transformation for a business in 30 days. It's a workbook. It's a small workbook that gets you started in the process. Going back to when I put together the profit optimization program. My idea was that if I can offer a business owner one aha moment, one of those moments where you're like, wow, I didn't, you know, I had heard that before or I can actually multiply my business or multiply my profit based on what I just learned. For me that was that that would be a win. So the seven wins is just the beginning. It's, it's very common things that you can do to start the process of identifying the things that could improve your profit in your business.Stuart Webb [00:07:22]:And if you see that you find one big aha and then you want to move forward, that's what we move on to the course, the POP certification course that we have. And that's pretty much so we have the book which is a self help and then we have the certification course which is an online version and that is more structured. But individuals started to let us know that they wanted a little bit more than just the book and they want a little bit more than just the course. So then we move down to doing some coaching and that's what we do. A little bit more of the personalized version.Stuart Webb [00:07:54]:Brilliant. And even, even if you don't get the personalized version, that seven quick wins could be the one thing that you need to get that one aha moment to move you forward. Joe, I'd just really love to understand at the moment. There's a huge amount of experience you bring to this. You've bought businesses, you've merged, and you said you've sold businesses. Was there one course, an idea, something which sort of brought you to really understand how you could help people in the way that you're helping them now?Stuart Webb [00:08:26]:Yes, I would say the 8020 principle. Oh, my Coke. And I, once I read that, I mean, it blew my mind, really, because I'm thinking, how is it that 20% of our actions actually brings 80% of our results? Then I'm thinking, why am I wasting my time with the other 80%? What am I doing?Stuart Webb [00:08:51]:Wonderful, wonderful.Stuart Webb [00:08:53]:So that really blew my mind. I started to think, okay, well, then in that case, I have to find a way to improve. How to divert or how to channel those 80% in another way.Stuart Webb [00:09:05]:Yes.Stuart Webb [00:09:05]:So I can go ahead and get the other 20% and then maybe I can take the other 80% of the time off and we can do that. That's a lot of what we do with the optimization program. We're identifying how we can improve processes, how can we systemize certain things, how can we delegate? Because that's a huge thing for business owners. We fail to delegate. The 8020 principle really just highlights that. And then once I started to just infuse that into the business, I was, you know, I started to line up everything that I can just say, okay, that's part of my 80%. Let's find a way to delegate to someone else.Stuart Webb [00:09:46]:I. I don't know if you have a comment on this, Joe, and once again, I'd welcome anybody currently listening to us or people who are listening later in the. In the podcast version of this. There is a sense in which. And I was talking to a business owner only this morning that was afraid of the idea of delegation, because as they said, what do I do when everybody else is doing my job? And my answer was, go and do another job, because there must be a ton that's waiting for you, but you haven't currently got time for it. You know, developing your staff, developing your team so that they are the most efficient, the most effective, and effectively allowing them to do your job, to free. Free you up, to do something else. That seems to be a burden, or at least it's.Stuart Webb [00:10:29]:It's a blocker for a lot of business owners who are basically saying, but if I let everybody do my job, then I've got nothing to do. And that's actually just not true, is it?Stuart Webb [00:10:39]:Oh, no, it is not. Actually. If you find ways to delegate all of these tasks, they can be systemized or can be organized in a certain way to give you that freedom, then I think that's when you can come back as a business owner and have that macro view where you can now start to innovate, where you could start to bring in other new processes that. That frees you up to do that. So a business owner's job is never done because we're always looking for the next thing. And now that AI is coming into the picture, we're basically changing processes and systems almost on a monthly basis. Now. By the time that we're done producing a system, we're already thinking how we're going to improve this, how we're going to make this better.Stuart Webb [00:11:24]:Brilliant, Joe, you've been very eloquent. You've explained this brilliantly, and I have a funny feeling there is something in you at the moment that's saying, he still hasn't asked me that one real killer question. So I'm going to assume that I am too stupid to be able to work out what that killer question is and say, Joe, tell us, what is the killer question that I. That I really should have asked you? And. And when you've obviously made that question known, you're gonna have to answer it, because I didn't even think of the question. So what is that killer question that I have failed to ask?Stuart Webb [00:11:56]:Well, I don't know, Stuart, I think you're considered one of the smartest podcasters, so I don't know. But I would say if there's one question that, that often I think that most people should ask is, why now? Why do I have to do this now? Why should I do it now? And I think the number one thing is that we're business owners who are working really hard at growing our business. But ultimately, we are humans and we have to be as successful. We have to meet our dreams. We have to reach that freedom as a business owner, because that's exactly what when we open our business, when we started our business or merged into another business, we had the dream of becoming more successful. So why now? Now? Because we owe it to ourselves. We have to be the best that we can. Sometimes businesses are just golden shackles.Stuart Webb [00:12:51]:They're fantastic because they're providing us a. An income. And that's why they're the golden shackles, because they're beautiful, because we're getting that income. But that's. So that's good. But sometimes, as the saying goes, good is the enemy of great and brilliant. Sometimes we're just missing that part to getting to great. And if we can sit down and really learn our numbers, figure out how can we get rid of these ghost expenses, how do we improve our bottom line? That equals freedom, freedom as a business owner.Stuart Webb [00:13:23]:And that's really the, the ultimate sign of success that you can do what you want when you want.Stuart Webb [00:13:33]:Joe, I love the message. I think it's absolutely brilliant. And I absolutely agree with you because I worked with a business who had to learn how to do a lot of what you've just said. The business owner was very reluctant to sort of go forward with some of these ideas, but they then had a family emergency. And if they had not learned how to delegate how, how to let go, they would not have had the time, the freedom to be able to deal with that family emergency. They would then never have been able to come back after that family emergency, after several months and still had a business that they could get involved in. And I absolutely agree. You trying to help people to understand that their job is about making their business an effective route to, to, to.Stuart Webb [00:14:24]:To their. To their ability to enjoy their life as opposed to being the shackles that keeps them involved in their business forever is a brilliant message. Thank you very much for sharing it with us this afternoon. I really appreciate it.Stuart Webb [00:14:37]:Absolutely. Thank you.Stuart Webb [00:14:39]:So listen, one quick plea for me.

Robin Zander hosted a Snafu webinar for the Sidebar community on non-sales selling—think self-promotion for career transitions, freelancers, entrepreneurs, and product people. The goal: learn to "sell yourself" without the ick factor.   Participants shared fears: follow-ups feel intimidating, sales feels slimy, and success seems like a numbers game. Robin reframed it: selling is really about enrollment—being a chief evangelist for your work, not begging for attention.   Drawing on stories from his childhood pumpkin patch, his time as a personal trainer (where desperation lost him clients), and opening Robin's Cafe in San Francisco (raising $40k, serving multiple stakeholders, training staff with Danny Meyer's principles), he showed the difference between selling from need vs. service. Long-term success comes from genuine connection, curiosity, optimism, and passion.   Attendees explored their "authentic attitude" and reflected on times self-promotion felt good versus slimy. Exercises included mapping all the people who benefit from your work—employees, customers, managers, mentees, community—and practicing generosity in selling (a "Miracle on 34th Street" mindset: help customers even if it means sending them elsewhere).   In Q&A, Robin tackled: Asking for promotions as modeling for others, especially women and minorities Persistence in follow-ups (yes, emailing Mark Benioff 53 times counts) Relationship-based enterprise selling Avoiding fear-based AI marketing by knowing who you serve and what problem you solve Recommended reading: Setting the Table (Danny Meyer), Unreasonable Hospitality (Will Guidara), The New Strategic Selling.   Robin also shared upcoming Snafu conference details (March 5, Oakland Museum of California) and reminded everyone: Snafu = situation normal; all fucked up. 00:00 Start 01:06 Audience Fears About Selling Robin Zander welcomes 93 participants to the webinar Notes the session is interactive with exercises planned Encourages participants to drop questions in chat or interrupt him Last 15–20 minutes reserved for questions Robin introduces himself briefly Focuses on storytelling as a tool for self-promotion Shares experience as a community builder Runs a conference called Responsive since 2016 (not Snafu) Tools, structures, and company cultures for resilient organizations Two-day event each September on the future of work Focus on building resilience in organizations Observations on rapid change Technology and work-life changes happening at a fast pace Questions about resilience in individuals Traits needed in careers, personal relationships, professional relationships Ability to stay resilient through change Robin frames his expertise Emphasizes his strength in asking questions and fostering honest conversations Labels himself a reluctant salesperson Not the world's leading expert on self-promotion or selling Key lessons from research and interviews Two buckets matter in business and life: Example: Sidebar community forming coalitions for learning and action Operational excellence: being competent and at least as good as others Promotion/enrollment/sales: standing up, saying what you want, building coalitions Started interviewing people about influence and persuasion Started a weekly newsletter called Snafu Written by hand, not AI Shares lessons from his life and others about self-promotion and resilience Focus on courage to take action: raising hand, offering something valuable Core characteristics of self-promotion and selling yourself Connecting with others: art of connection Courage to ask: inspired by Amanda Palmer's TED Talk and book The Art of Asking Opposes traditional "always be closing" sales mentality Advocates for simply asking for what you want Current work mostly involves storytelling for large companies Clients include Supersonic, Airbnb, Zappos, and others 12:25 Service as the Core Principle Robin introduces the concept of storytelling for self-promotion Stories used to: Get promotions Build coalitions Propel career or organizational growth Emphasizes turning personal, career, or company stories into "commercials" Focus of today's talk: self-promotion with impact Core principle: service Showing up from a place of helping others Through helping others, also helping oneself Distinguishes between sleazy salespeople and effective self-promoters Childhood anecdote: Robin's pumpkin patch Tended plants all summer, learned responsibility and care Harvested pumpkins and sold them using a small red tin box labeled "money" Ran "Robin's Pumpkin Patch" for five to seven years At age five, father had him plant pumpkin seeds Engaged neighborhood kids for fun, collaborative promotion Explained product (pumpkins) enthusiastically to potential buyers Used scarecrow costumes and creative gestures to attract attention Lessons learned from pumpkin patch: Authentic enthusiasm creates value Helping people do what they were already inclined to do Early experience of earning and serving simultaneously Self-promotion is most effective when it's service-driven, not manipulative Applying childhood lesson to career and business Asking for a raise Persuading companies to choose one service over another Promoting oneself or others (e.g., Evan, web developer) Key principle: approach self-promotion from delight and service, not need or fear Authentic enthusiasm as foundation for: Interactive exercise for participants Not influenced by sleep deprivation or stress Could be inspired by childhood or adult experiences Opposite of fear; personal and unique for each participant Question posed: what is your authentic attitude when self-promoting? Examples shared from participants: Curiosity Passion Inspiration Service to others Observation Possibility Insight Value Helping others Creativity Belief in serendipity Optimism Key takeaway from exercise and story Promoting from delight, enthusiasm, and service Promoting from need or fear Two versions of self-promotion: Effective self-promotion aligns with authenticity and enthusiasm, creating value for others while advancing oneself 18:36 Gym Job and Needy Selling Robin shares the next story and sets up the next exercise Gym culture is sales-heavy Initial motivation: love of fitness, desire to help people Quickly realizes environment incentivizes personal trainers to sell aggressively Timeframe: ~20 years later, at age 20, moved to San Francisco First post-college job: personal trainer in gyms Early experience at gyms Key lesson from early failure Selling from need feels gross Promoting oneself from fear or desperation leads to poor results Recognizes similarity to unwanted sales calls received personally First authentic success in self-promotion Worked at Petro and World's Gym in San Francisco, Pilates instructor Owner confronted Robin after two weeks: no clients, potential clients being lost to others Threatened termination by Friday if no clients acquired Robin froze under pressure, approached clients but with needy, desperate energy Outcome: fired by Friday, left gym Encounters man in pain on Valencia Street, offers help as personal trainer Approach comes from genuine care, desire to serve Leads to three-year working relationship, consistent sessions, good income Next client: world-famous photographer Michael Light at UCSF swimming pool Client comes from natural connection, not pushy salesmanship Dichotomy observed: Pushy, need-based self-promotion → freeze, poor results Service-oriented self-promotion → natural connections, sustained relationships Exercise for participants Prompt: identify two moments: One time self-promoting felt slimy → what were you doing? One time self-promoting felt good → what were you doing differently? Two-minute reflection / chat participation Participant reflections/examples Slimy examples: Interviewing for a job during layoffs, giving desperate energy Selling P&L at a hyperscaler Selling computers and printers in UK post-college Sales emails getting ghosted Feeling inauthentic or performative, taking advantage of someone Good examples: Offering services out of care and love rather than ROI Showing impact of work to junior child Knowing services add real value and solve a challenge Being clear on what the other person needs Key takeaway Self-promotion feels different depending on intent and knowledge Slimy → desperate, inauthentic, unclear value to recipient Authentic → service-driven, clear value, connection-focused Effective self-promotion combines knowing your value and serving others, not just pushing for personal gain 25:35 Miracle on 34th Street Lesson Feeling good in self-promotion comes from genuinely helping, solving problems, and sharing information Santa Claus hired at Macy's to hold kids and give candy canes, but real goal: persuade parents to buy from Macy's Santa instead sends parents to competitor to truly serve them Macy's manager initially furious Outcome: customers feel genuinely served, return praising Macy's, become loyal fans Robin references Miracle on 34th Street (original version) Key insight: providing real value, even if it benefits someone else, eventually returns value to you "Put enough bread across the water, eventually good things come back" Participant reflections Slimy: knowing audience expects judgment, catering to them for approval Good: giving the gift of knowledge, providing service freely Takeaway: authentic self-promotion is rooted in service, generosity, and sharing expertise, not manipulating for immediate gain 27:45 Starting Robin's Cafe Through Service Robin shares a major professional turning point: opening Robin's Cafe in 2016 No restaurant experience beyond college busing tables Opened in three weeks, eventually grew to 15 employees by 2018 Worked in multiple industries: Pumpkin patch, personal trainer, circus performer Opened a café/restaurant in Mission District, San Francisco Courage and conviction came from clear focus on service to others Employees: create a great workplace, go-giver culture Investors: $40k raised from friends/family, provided value and potential return Landlords (ODC, nonprofit dance center): wanted success of business to support community Customers: diverse—tech workers, kids in dance classes, local community Robin himself: financial sustainability, learning, personal growth Key audiences served by Robin's Cafe Approach to challenges Used Danny Meyer's Setting the Table as a service-focused framework for employees Philosophy: "giving in order to get paid" Examples: spouse, kids, dog, manager, peers, mentees, clients, community, customers, extended family, mentors Served multiple stakeholders during crises: break-ins, flooding, city permitting, neighborhood issues Exercise: identify all the people who benefit from your work or success Key idea: the more stakeholders served, the easier self-promotion becomes, because it comes from service, not need or pressure Show up thinking: does this serve the person I'm talking to? Principle: selling yourself from a place of service Consider multiple stakeholders simultaneously Audience question: elaborate on applying this service mindset specifically to asking for a promotion Tying service to self-promotion in career advancement Result: asking for a raise, applying for jobs, pitching clients—all easier and more authentic 38:11 Promotion As Service Asking for a promotion from a place of service Example: doing the role already, deserving recognition, asking for what you believe you've earned. Personal perspective: advocating for yourself is a form of service to yourself Recognize other stakeholders in the process: Modeling courage and advocacy for the next generation Authority enables ideas to be taken more seriously Stories gained from new responsibilities enhance value to clients or teams People you mentor, especially women or underrepresented groups The organization: your promotion can make it stronger Your family or children: showing them what it looks like to advocate Concrete examples Outcome: trajectory of career positively influenced, demonstrated courage, modeled behavior Asking first time for a manager role Later asking for VP title as a director Courage and small steps Courage = acting despite fear, not absence of fear Practice by taking incremental steps toward what scares you Avoid masking or hesitation; direct action builds confidence and results Persistence and follow-up Busy people require patience and multiple nudges Example: Mark Stubbings emailing Mark Benioff 53 times before a yes Persistence = respectful, consistent follow-ups Role modeling for women and minorities Demonstrates that asking is a normal, expected, and service-oriented act Many don't ask for promotions or raises due to upbringing or cultural norms Modeling advocacy teaches the next generation, including children, to speak up Service mindset in practice Approach self-promotion by asking: is this good for the other person? Keep intention aligned with service, not desperation Books for guidance: Setting the Table – Danny Meyer: service-driven sales and employee culture Unreasonable Hospitality – Will Guidara: lessons from the restaurant world on giving value and delight Key takeaways for promotion and asking Serve yourself, your mentees, your organization, and your broader audience Take small, courageous steps to ask for what you deserve Follow up respectfully and consistently; don't assume silence = no Self-promotion becomes easier and authentic when rooted in service, not fear or need Snafu Newsletter Weekly newsletter written by Robin Covers influence, persuasion, and modern workplace dynamics A resource for ongoing learning and practical insights 56:55 Where to Find Robin Robin's newsletter covers influence, persuasion, and modern work.

Let's be real for a second: if you're spending the majority of your waking hours in a negative state of mind because you loathe your "job," you're doing it wrong. Whether you're trying to build a community, a brand, or a fat bank account, your relationship with work determines if you're actually living or just suffering through the grind. I've had the "abusive" relationships with work where I ran myself into the ground, and I've had the ones that left me energized and satisfied. Today, I'm showing you exactly how to brainwash yourself into the latter. Listen in as I share the three principles that keep me from procrastinating and keep the energy flowing without the "slimy, stinky forceful tricks" we're taught to use for productivity. We're diving deep into why your zone of genius is usually the thing you're currently discounting because it feels too "easy". It's time to stop half-assing your commitment to your dreams and start choosing the discomfort that's actually worth it. Here's a glance at what you'll learn from me in this episode: The Discomfort Reality Check: Why you're already uncomfortable doing things you hate, so you might as well be uncomfortable for what you love. Enjoyment > Results: How prioritizing fun and ease actually creates a more sustainable, "timeless" work-life balance and a raving fan base. The "Perfectionist" Trap: Why pressure and worry are actually obstructing your superpowers and how to use deadlines without the cortisol spike. Creative Immunity: The secret to keeping your passion alive even when the money starts rolling in. People Mindset: Why money isn't a living thing and why your relationship to people is the only mindset that matters for your bank account. Timestamps: 00:00 – Introduction 00:34 – Redefining the relationship you can have with work. 03:22 – What I actually live for. 04:35 – Principle #1. 08:51 – The "Starving Artist" narrative vs. inevitable success. 09:50 – Principle #2. 12:12 – My sabbatical and closing a multi-seven-figure business. 15:43 – Why what's "easy" for you is actually your most valuable gift. 18:20 – Coming out of the closet as a creativity teacher. 20:27 – Principle #3. 23:07 – Ditching your "Money Mindset" for a "People Mindset". 25:01 – Why a personal brand is a lifelong project, not a 30-day sprint.

Todd Rose is a visionary leader and brilliant mind reshaping our understanding of human potential and the future of leadership. From overcoming academic struggles to achieving a GED and multiple Harvard degrees, his journey is a testament to resilience and the pursuit of meaningful impact. With profound insights into individuality, success, and the power of authenticity, Todd challenges conventional thinking, inspiring us to embrace our unique "jaggedness" and build a world where true potential flourishes.Takeaways:The 'Because' - Deeper Than Your Why: Discovering your core, intrinsic motivators, like the profound life-altering realization Todd had when holding his son for the first time, provides unwavering accountability and purpose throughout life's journey.The Power of Fit and the "Jaggedness Principle": Understanding that human beings are multi-dimensional and excel in specific contexts, rather than being universally good or bad, is crucial for finding environments where individual talents and passions can truly thrive.Collective Illusions and Authentic Success: Many societal beliefs about success are misalignments between what people genuinely desire (meaning, contribution, relationships) and what they falsely believe others value (fame, fortune), leading to widespread dissatisfaction and resentment.Sound Bytes:"It was one thing to mess up your own life. It's very different when you realize the responsibility you had to this, this person that didn't ask to be born.""Collective illusions are simply groupthink, but you're wrong about the group.""No amount of achievement on things that other people cared about increases life satisfaction at all."Connect & Discover Todd:Instagram: @ltoddroseLinkedIn: @todd-roseX: @ltoddroseWebsite: toddrose.comBook: Collective IllusionsBook: Dark HorseBook: The End of Average
