We sat down with Before the Echo's Josh Teulker to talk about how priorities shift in hunting, and life, as we get older. From a guy who's got 20 mounts collecting dust, Josh shares how chasing inches slowly gave way to chasing memories. We get into what happens in that ten-second window before the shot, why ego and antlers are often confused for value, and how hunting with friends (or your kids) changes everything. It's equal parts campfire talk and reality check, with plenty of laughs about crow calls, EHD, and how no one ever talked trash at the old deer check stations.

We said goodbye to Stay Forth—and hello to H2 Leadership. Same mission, sharper clarity. This episode is our official announcement and a roadmap for where we're heading: helping leaders become healthy and high impact (H2). From a beach pop-up studio in Delray Beach, we unpack: Why the name change (clarity over clever): people loved our work but didn't always “get” the name. What H2 Leadership means: health (heart, soul, mind, body, relationships) + sustainable impact. Energy > time: lead by ROE—Return on Energy, not just calendars and hustle. The core shift: moving from reactive to proactive leadership. Priorities → elimination: clarity creates riverbanks; a to-don't list protects what matters. Who we serve: business, nonprofit, and ministry leaders—any catalyst who wants to lead well. You'll learn A simple way to audit the 5 domains of health How to tune tension (like a guitar string) between health and impact Practical steps to reclaim focus and build momentum with your team What's changing (brand, clarity, systems) and what's not (our mission + coaching) Chapters 00:00 Welcome & context 01:05 Why we're rebranding 04:10 What “healthy + high impact” looks like 06:20 The five domains of health 09:20 What's changing vs. what stays 11:25 ROE: Return on Energy 12:15 From reactive to proactive 13:55 Priorities, riverbanks & elimination 17:40 Who we serve (catalysts) 20:05 What's next + how to connect Links Start here: https://www.h2leadership.com The H2 Leadership Podcast hub: https://www.h2leadership.com/podcast Stay connected YouTube: @H2Leadership Instagram: @h2leaders LinkedIn: H2 Leadership Call to Action If this helped, follow the show and share it with a leader you care about.

What happens when districts set budgets, educators finally breathe after back-to-school, and conferences flood the calendar—all at once? You get October, the single most important month in the education marketing cycle.In this special solo episode, Elana shares why October is such a pivotal moment for vendors, partners, and school leaders. She breaks down how to support current users, align with budget planning, build your list, and show up at conferences with real value—not just swag. Along the way, she reflects on lessons learned from colleagues like Allison Modlin (on why success is a square, not a line) and Matt Stinson (on why most vendors should stop chasing cold RFPs).Whether you're leading sales, marketing, or customer success, this episode will help you focus on what actually matters before the year slips away.What You'll LearnWhy October is the only “full” month left in the calendar year and how to make the most of itHow to double down on customer success and PD to boost adoption and renewalsWhy aligning sales, marketing, product, and customer success as a “square” matters more than everHow budget-setting cycles give you a chance to position your product for 2026 (and beyond)Smart ways to use conferences for list-building and relationship-buildingThe right (and wrong) way to jump on seasonal or cultural trendsWhy it's time to prioritize ethical list-building through lead magnets, webinars, and emailWhy It MattersIn education, timing is everything. October is when educators are ready to deepen usage, district leaders are finalizing budgets, and conferences create endless opportunities for connection. If you miss this window, you risk falling behind on renewals, losing visibility in the budget cycle, and scrambling to catch up in the new year.Mentioned in this episode:LCG newsletter adSign up for the LCG newsletter on https://www.leoniconsultinggroup.com/newsletter-signup

We welcomed back Dennis Bunio! He spoke about how God has placed every one of us in a position to choose between two kingdoms. Living authentically as a Christ-follower means needing to choose which kingdom will have the priority in our life - the one ruled by the world or the one ruled by Christ. Dennis used John 18:28 – 19:16 as his scripture reference.
Over time, our love for God either tends to grow more rich or more routine. Dr. Tony Evans explains that when “routine” becomes the norm, it's time to take a serious look at what we're doing and why we're doing it. It's all about priorities.

Okay, real talk: I love my people, but when life gets ambitious, friendship is the first thing that slides off my calendar. Work, kids, and even rest often feel easier to prioritize than grabbing coffee with a friend. But here's what I've learned: friendship isn't optional — it's survival. In this episode, I unpack: Why friendship matters for ambitious women (spoiler: it literally improves your health and longevity). My own struggles with friendship guilt when I've been “too busy” or spread too thin. The barriers that get in the way of friendships as we move through different seasons of life. Practical strategies to tend to friendships — even when schedules are packed. This is your reminder that friendships don't have to be perfect to matter, and they don't have to be fancy to be meaningful. Whether it's a quick text or a monthly coffee date, tending to your friendships will make you a better leader, partner, parent, and human. Key Takeaways: Friendship is survival — it's not extra, it's essential. Friendships don't have to be perfect to matter. It doesn't have to be fancy to be meaningful. You can always restart and reprioritize your friendships, no matter the season you're in. Resources & Links: Dear Nina Podcast Share this episode with a friend you're recommitting to today.

District math improvement plans can't succeed if we try to do everything at once. For meaningful change to happen, leaders need to go narrow.In this episode, we explore why narrowing focus is so difficult for districts and schools, even when everyone knows it's the right move. We unpack the fears leaders face—picking the “wrong” focus, pressure from external demands, or the worry that one shift won't meet everyone's needs. We also dig into why saying “yes” to one math priority means saying “no” to others, and how failing to narrow leads to surface-level adoption without real impact.We highlight what going narrow actually requires:How narrowing your focus unlocks the flywheel effect and avoids the “doom loop” of initiative fatigue.The resources, coaching, and leadership support it actually takes to create meaningful change.How to map backward using the If-Then-How framework so you can be realistic about what your team can accomplish in one year.Why choosing one structural change—like optimizing PLCs for lesson study and curriculum mastery—requires more than a memo; it requires follow-up, facilitation, capacity building, and monitoring.If you've ever felt the tension between wanting to “do it all” and the nagging realization that lasting math improvement requires focus, this episode is for you.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

He shares how simplifying life down to three core priorities has helped him stay focused in fitness, business, and family without burning out. You'll learn why working harder does not automatically mean you are disciplined, how to cut out distractions that pull you away from what actually matters, and why building consistent habits will take you further than chasing discipline ever will. If you feel like you are stuck working long hours without real progress, this will help you rethink your approach and find clarity. This is about creating a life where you can show up with power, presence, and profits while protecting your time and energy.
FF: Property and Education Priorities The Fed has lowered rates a quarter of a percent. Inflation is over 3% from the government's own measurements. Home prices are up, and property taxes are making it impossible for some people to keep their home. We have been working to get signatures to get a constitutional amendment on the Ohio ballot to get rid of property taxes completely. This could keep people in their homes and lower rents. "But how will we fund schools?" they say. We talk about some possible options for funding. We also review the terrible results the traditional school system has been getting. We talk about how some money is being wasted by school systems. How much does a teacher here really make per hour? What do administrators make? Is it worth people losing their homes so that schools can continue to get terrible results? Or is it time for zero property taxes and a new system to fund schools based on results?

When you board a plane, you trust the pilot to get you safely to your destination. Shouldn't you be just as careful about who advises you on your financial future? Financial guidance isn't just about numbers—it's about trust, worldview, and values. The right advisor can help you make decisions that align with your faith and priorities.Every advisor brings a worldview to the table. Too often, cultural definitions of success revolve around accumulation alone. But biblical stewardship points higher—toward faithfulness, contentment, and generosity. That's why this choice is not only financial—it's spiritual. You're entrusting someone with influence over how you manage God's money, and that requires discernment.Clarify What You NeedBefore beginning your search, determine what type of help you're looking for. Do you need comprehensive planning—covering retirement, insurance, taxes, estate planning, and generosity—or just investment management? Do you want a one-time plan or an ongoing relationship? The clearer your goals, the easier it will be to evaluate fit.One of the most important questions to ask is whether your advisor is a fiduciary, legally obligated to put your interests first. Compensation models vary:Commission-based advisors earn by selling products, which may create conflicts of interest.Fee-based advisors charge fees but may also receive commissions.Fee-only advisors are paid solely by clients, helping ensure objectivity.No matter the model, insist on full transparency about fees and expenses.Credentials and CharacterCredentials demonstrate an advisor's training and licensing, but character matters just as much. Evaluate potential advisors in three areas:Values – Do they share your biblical worldview?Competence – Do they have the training and experience to serve families like yours?Process – Can they explain how they build a financial plan and how they are compensated?A Practical Process for Finding the Right AdvisorBuild a shortlist – Ask trusted friends, family, or church leaders for recommendations. Explore advisors who share biblical values, like Certified Kingdom Advisors® at FindaCKA.com.Do a background check – Verify licenses, review disclosure documents, and check for disciplinary history.Interview at least three advisors – Treat this like a job interview. You're hiring for a critical role.Request a written scope and fee schedule – Get clarity in writing.Pray and take your time – Don't let anyone pressure you into quick decisions.When meeting with potential advisors, ask:“How are you compensated? Please outline every fee and expense.”“What role does faith play in your financial advice, and how do you define success?”“What's your process for creating a financial plan or investment strategy?”Proverbs 11:14 reminds us: “Where there is no guidance, a people falls, but in an abundance of counselors there is safety.”Red Flags and Green LightsBe alert for warning signs such as:Promises of unrealistic performanceVague answers about feesPressure to move assets quicklyLook instead for encouraging signs:Transparent communicationA listening-first approachAdvice that integrates faith and family prioritiesThe right advisor depends on your season of life. Young families may need guidance on budgeting, insurance, and college savings, while retirees often seek tax-efficient withdrawals, income strategies, and estate planning. Ask potential advisors about their typical clients to see if their expertise aligns with your needs.Keeping Faith at the CenterA trusted advisor can help you avoid mistakes, manage taxes, stay disciplined during market swings, and design a generosity plan that reflects your calling. Most importantly, the right advisor will keep your focus on faithfulness, not just finances—helping you honor God with every decision.If you're ready to seek biblically wise financial advice, consider working with a Certified Kingdom Advisor®.
