Understanding the Modern Customer Experience: A Guide for Aspiring Professionals 1.0 Introduction: The Great Customer Experience Divide In today's competitive market, the customer experience isn't just a part of the brand; it is the brand. Every interaction, from a first glance at a social media post to a final click on a purchase button, serves as a referendum on a company's value and trustworthiness. Get it right, and you build loyalty. Get it wrong, and customers will walk away without a second thought. 1.1 The Loyalty Illusion A significant conflict is brewing between how businesses perceive customer loyalty and how customers actually feel. This "loyalty illusion" creates a dangerous blind spot for executives who believe they are succeeding while their customer base is quietly eroding. Executive Belief Consumer Reality ~90% of executives believe customer loyalty has grown in recent years. Only 40% of consumers feel they have become more loyal to brands. This perception gap isn't just a difference of opinion; it's a direct threat to revenue. "About nine out of 10 [executives] say customer loyalty has grown in recent years, but only four in 10 consumers say the same." The business risks of this blind spot are clear: 52% of consumers have stopped buying from a brand due to a bad product or service experience, and 29% have abandoned a brand due to poor customer experience. To close this gap, companies must first understand the entire modern customer journey, which starts long before a customer ever visits a website or store. 2.0 The Customer Journey: From First Glance to Final Click 2.1 Redefining the Starting Line Customer loyalty no longer begins at a company's digital or physical front door. It's now seeded much earlier in what can be called the "experience supply chain"—the connected sequence of interactions that moves a person from curious to committed. This journey often starts in the realm of indirect influence. Key "indirect influence" touchpoints include: A friend's recommendation A discussion thread on Reddit A product review on an independent site While price remains the single most significant factor for 69% of consumers when making a purchase decision, mastering these early stages of discovery and influence is critical for building the long-term commitment that defines true loyalty. 2.2 What Brands Can Do To win customers in this new landscape, brands must adopt a more holistic and proactive approach to the customer journey. Analyze the Journey: Use data analytics and AI to forensically examine every step of the customer life cycle. This allows you to identify and fix points of friction before they drive potential customers away. Embrace New "Front Doors": Treat online comment threads, product comparison sites, and even AI-generated search results as strategic entry points to your brand. These platforms are where modern discovery happens. Ensure Consistency: Align every touchpoint—from social media chatter to post-purchase support—with a cohesive brand narrative. This consistency builds the trust necessary for a customer to move from awareness to action. Understanding the full customer journey is the first step. The next is understanding what customers truly expect from a brand during that journey. 3.0 Beyond the Basics: What Customers Truly Value 3.1 Table Stakes vs. True Delight In the modern marketplace, fundamentals like fair pricing and product quality are no longer differentiators. They are simply "table stakes"—the minimum cost of entry to compete. The real opportunity for brands lies in their ability to layer personalized, meaningful value on top of these basics to create moments of true delight. Factor Considered a Minimum Expectation (%) Considered a Bonus (%) Good value for price 77% 19% Product/service quality 76% 20% Transparent business practices 58% 35% Personalized experiences 17% 62% However, many companies are struggling to keep up. A staggering 70% of executives feel that customer expectations are evolving faster than their company can adapt. This widening gap creates a significant risk of eroding customer trust and losing business to more agile competitors. 3.2 The Generational Lens Customer expectations are not one-size-fits-all; they vary significantly across generations. A strategy that delights one demographic may alienate another. Brands must segment their approach to meet these diverse needs. Boomers: This group is generally less likely to be influenced by a brand's social media presence or its sustainability efforts. Millennials and Gen Z: In contrast, these younger consumers pay close attention to a brand's values, online activities, and social impact. Successfully meeting these varied and rapidly evolving expectations increasingly involves technology, particularly Artificial Intelligence. 4.0 The AI Paradox: A Tool for Help and Hindrance 4.1 High Ambition, High Anxiety Artificial Intelligence represents the new frontier in customer engagement, but its rapid adoption has created a central paradox. While companies are rushing to implement AI-driven solutions, many customers remain wary. A majority of consumers (58%) report being "only somewhat or not at all comfortable" using AI tools to engage with brands. This suggests that AI implementation is often driven more by a company's internal ambition for efficiency than by genuine customer demand, creating a gap between what brands offer and what customers actually want. 4.2 Finding the Right Balance Consumer acceptance of AI is highly nuanced and depends heavily on the specific task. More Likely to Use AI for: Simple, transactional tasks like tracking an order or delivery status (49%). Less Likely to Use AI for: Sensitive interactions like making a payment (29%). Crucially, despite the rise of automation, 86% of consumers still say that human interaction is moderately or very important to their brand experience. The key insight for aspiring professionals is that successful brands don't choose between AI and human support; they integrate them. They use AI for efficiency where it adds value but provide clear, fast paths to human support when empathy, nuance, and judgment are required. This balance between technology and humanity extends to the data that fuels these systems, bringing the issue of privacy to the forefront. 5.0 The Data Dilemma: Balancing Personalization and Privacy 5.1 The Trust Trigger Personalization presents another paradox for modern brands: customers want it, right up until the moment they don't. The desire for a smooth, tailored experience often conflicts with concerns over data privacy, creating a delicate balancing act for companies. "More than half of consumers (53%) think that it's worth it to share personal information if it makes their experience interacting with a brand smoother. But mishandle that data and 93% say that a brand will lose their trust." This dynamic means that every personalization strategy carries a built-in "trust trigger." Respecting data boundaries is no longer just about legal compliance; it has become a powerful competitive advantage. 5.2 What Brands Can Do To navigate this dilemma, brands should adopt a set of core principles that build trust while delivering value. Focus on low-intrusion data: Prioritize using information like stated preferences and past purchases to tailor experiences. This provides value without crossing sensitive privacy lines. Be transparent: Clearly communicate what data is being collected and why. When customers see an immediate and tangible benefit in return, they are more likely to trust the exchange. Empower the customer: Give customers a sense of control over their data. When personalization feels like a choice, it becomes a driver of loyalty, not a red flag. By internalizing these lessons, companies can reshape their approach to building lasting customer relationships. 6.0 Actionable Principles for a Modern Customer Experience To succeed in today's landscape, aspiring professionals should focus on a set of core principles that connect the entire customer journey, from discovery to long-term loyalty. Treat discovery like a make-or-break moment. A customer's journey starts long before they visit your website. Design every early touchpoint as a seamless, story-driven experience. Rebuild loyalty based on behavior, not fantasy. Reassess loyalty programs based on real customer actions and measurable business goals, not assumptions. Segment smarter and personalize with purpose. Move beyond generic demographics to target customers by generation, behavior, and emotional triggers to deliver true relevance. Pair AI with empathy and know when to hand off. Use AI to streamline simple tasks, but ensure a quick and easy path to human support when nuance and empathy matter most. Win the moments that matter or lose customers. Identify the high-stakes moments in the customer journey where loyalty can be instantly won or lost, and design solutions to win them decisively. Turn privacy into a competitive advantage. Build trust by being transparent, providing clear value, and giving customers control over their personal data. Measure what actually moves the needle. Go beyond traditional metrics to track the behavioral, emotional, and financial impact of your customer experience initiatives. These seven principles are the foundational building blocks for anyone seeking to create the exceptional and effective customer experiences that define modern brands.   Source:  https://www.pwc.com/us/en/services/consulting/business-transformation/library/2025-customer-experience-survey.html  

Here are some holiday healthy eating tips for people with diabetes — perfect for keeping the joy (and flavor!) in your celebrations without the sugar spikes    Before the Feast Don't skip meals. Eat a balanced breakfast or snack before the party — this helps steady your blood sugar and curb overeating. Stay hydrated. Sometimes thirst can feel like hunger. Keep a glass of water handy. Bring a diabetes-friendly dish. That way, you'll know there's at least one option that fits your needs.  At the Table Fill half your plate with veggies. Roasted Brussels sprouts, green beans, or salad add fiber and color. Prioritize protein. Turkey, chicken, or fish help balance blood sugar and keep you satisfied. Mind the carbs. Choose one or two favorite carb dishes (like stuffing or mashed potatoes), and enjoy modest portions. Watch the sauces and gravies. Many are high in sugar or fat — a drizzle is usually plenty.  Dessert Time   Go mini. A small serving or shared slice can hit the sweet spot without overdoing it. Try fruit-based desserts. Baked apples or berries with a dollop of whipped cream can be a tasty, lower-carb treat. Don't skip the celebration. Enjoy every bite mindfully — focus on flavor, not restriction.  After the Feast Take a short walk. Even 10–15 minutes after eating can help lower blood sugar. Check your glucose. Monitoring helps you learn how different foods affect you. Give yourself grace. One meal won't make or break your progress — it's the overall pattern that matters.  

I'm excited to have Andie Crosby join me for a two-part series. In Part 1 today, we dive into why cardiovascular health is the number one longevity lever for women and how it is often ignored until it is too late. We explore the critical role of the endothelial glycocalyx, a microscopic life-sustaining structure that is essential for vascular integrity, the inflammation response, and nutrient delivery.  In Part 2 next week, we will cover how nitric oxide supports energy, sexual vitality, and even skin radiance, and factors that could damage the ability to produce it naturally.  How to Protect and Support the Endothelial Glycocalyx Reduce stress  Manage blood sugar   Prioritize sleep Meditate  Take clinically researched supplements.   Monitor your cardiovascular health with diagnostics and lifestyle tracking to catch and reverse arterial aging before it starts to progress. Bio: Andie Crosby Andie Crosby is a seasoned business leader and passionate advocate for health and longevity.  After decades leading marketing and brand development for companies like Nike, Apple, and Procter & Gamble, her focus shifted in her 40s when she experienced firsthand the impact of hormonal changes, inflammation, and the power of nutrition to transform health.  A simple elimination diet revealed how profoundly food and lifestyle impacted her well-being, sparking a deep curiosity about health and healing.  This led her to the Institute for Functional Medicine, where she became the first Chief Marketing Officer.  Over ten years, Andie built IFM's marketing and partnerships teams, driving a 13-fold increase in practitioner education and advancing personalized, systems-based care.  Today, as President of Calroy Health Sciences, Andie leads innovation in cardiovascular and joint health.  Her mission is to raise awareness of the vascular system's foundational role - not only in disease prevention, but also in longevity, brain health, and performance. She believes we have the tools to change the trajectory of our healthspan and empowers people to take control by asking the right questions.  Andie brings a relatable, purpose-driven perspective on living longer, better, and embracing midlife as a powerful opportunity for health transformation.  In this episode: Why traditional health measures do not always reveal hidden cardiovascular risks The value of vascular age testing to uncover silent inflammation and plaque in arteries How lifestyle and stress factors can silently impact heart health over time. How perimenopause and hormonal changes dramatically increase cardiovascular risk in women Why cardiovascular disease is often overlooked until it's too late What advanced diagnostics can reveal beyond a standard blood panel How emerging knowledge about the endothelial glycocalyx is reshaping our understanding of vascular health The benefits of supplements, meditation, stress management, and improving your diet to reverse arterial aging Links and Resources: ⁠⁠Your Longevity Blueprint Omega 3s – 60 capsules ⁠https://yourlongevityblueprint.com/product/coq10-100-mg/ Guest Social Media Links: Calroy Health Sciences on Instagram Calroy Health Sciences on Facebook Relative Links for This Show: Use this link for 10% off (And a Free Bag of Oral Microbiome Gum) Follow Your Longevity Blueprint  On Instagram| Facebook| Twitter| YouTube | LinkedIn Get your copy of the Your Longevity Blueprint book and claim your bonuses here Find Dr. Stephanie Gray and Your Longevity Blueprint online   Follow Dr. Stephanie Gray  On Facebook| Instagram| Youtube | Twitter | LinkedIn Integrative Health and Hormone Clinic Podcast production by Team Podcast

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   How can you leverage positive thinking and simple lifestyle habits to change your biological age by a decade?   In this episode, I talked with Jon Sabes, a longevity researcher and entrepreneur. He has worked with biomarkers of aging and health for the life insurance industry. Jon shares how his mother's passing shaped his book, Healthy Wealthy Longevity. I learned about the connection between positive thinking, physical activity, and gene expression through epigenetics. We discussed the importance of mastering the basics: eating whole foods, consistent movement, connection, and purpose. I also asked Jon how tackling difficult physical challenges builds mental resilience and self-belief.   Key takeaways Lifestyle is a powerful driver of longevity: Lifestyle habits strongly influence gene expression (epigenetics). Reprogramming the subconscious is key to health: Override negative thought narratives by intentionally inputting "brain food" (positive psychology) combined with exercise, which can drive positive gene expression. Build mental resilience: Challenging physical activity creates a mental muscle of resiliency, helping overcome negative self-talk and building proof of capability. Focus on the basics before biohacking: Prioritize holistic lifestyle—eating whole foods, constant movement, connecting with others, and having purpose—as these cover 80% of health and longevity needs. The Blue Zones teach the value of community and purpose: Populations living long, happy lives prioritize strong community and purpose, often without being financially rich. Biological age can be measured: Epigenetic biomarkers (DNA methylation patterns derived from a blood test) can reveal a biological age that is older or younger than chronological age. Jon's biological age is about 10 years younger than his chronological age.Healthy & Wealthy Longevity? Ft.

Eric's guest today is Larry from the Side Hustle Podcast. The main topic of conversation is Larry's experience attending the EQUIP Exposition, initially for equipment viewing, which unexpectedly led to a complete transformation of his business model—starting with raising prices, moving to better employee treatment, and adopting software like Jobber to streamline operations and payment collection. Both Eric and Larry emphasize the profound value of networking and socializing at these events, often citing specific learning opportunities that occurred outside of formal sessions, like at the bar. Larry also shares his strong positive opinion of battery-powered Kress equipment, despite initial employee resistance, highlighting the benefits of adopting new technology. Key Takeaways: Be courageous and implement steep rate increases for your services, followed by automated annual price adjustments. Adopt intuitive software to charge customers automatically upon job completion and instantly improve cash flow and eliminate outstanding debt. Prioritize socializing and networking at industry events because invaluable business insights often come from casual conversations. Eliminate the bottleneck of slow service by ensuring fast response times and quick quoting to capture new customers immediately. Make attending professional conferences a principled commitment because even a single piece of knowledge gained can radically improve your business.

CBRE Investment Management's Co-CEO and CIO, Adam Gallistel, offers insights on where real assets investors can find strong return opportunities in today's market. He discusses shifting strategies amid higher interest rates, alternative asset classes, the role of operational expertise and why Europe offers attractive relative value right now. Prioritize operations and asset selection: Gallistel emphasizes that “hope is not a strategy”—returns will come from income growth and strong asset selection rather than relying on market-driven cap rate compression. Diversification matters: Niche sectors like data centers and student housing offer non-correlated income streams and resilience compared to traditional “big four” asset classes. Europe looks compelling: Europe offers relative value and growth potential, making it an attractive complement to a U.S. property portfolio. Infrastructure and power are critical: CBRE IM is investing in solutions like battery storage and renewable energy to capitalize on growing demand for power in the digital economy. Overlooked markets show promise: Gallistel sees opportunities in U.S. Midwest real estate markets as supply dynamics shift.

// Prioritizing Jesus in How I Talk // In the second week of our "Prioritize" series, Pastor Zach unpacks what it looks like to put Jesus first in the way we speak. He challenges us to be people who consistently encourage others, shut down gossip instead of spreading it, and use language that reflects God's goodness and glory. It's a practical, honest look at how our words can either point people to Jesus—or pull them away.

In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, hosts Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the realities behind the trending 50-year mortgage, strategies for raising client prices, and the powerful concept of creating lasting value rather than selling on features alone. They discuss generational financial policy, entrepreneurship advice for young business owners, and how the mindset around risk, investing, and habits shapes long-term success for coaches and their clients. Key Topics Covered The Truth About 50-Year Mortgages Karl Bryan breaks down why 50-year mortgages may be psychologically appealing but are often a disaster for long-term wealth. He reveals how fiscal policies typically benefit older asset holders, not young families, and explains actionable strategies for managing mortgage debt wisely (hint: double principal payments to cut interest costs). Debt, Fiscal Policy, and Asset Ownership A candid discussion about government incentives, student loans, movement, and the marketing of debt programs. The hosts explain how national debts, stock market, and real estate policy affect everyday entrepreneurs. Dave Ramsey's Approach vs. Entrepreneurial Investing Karl Bryan shares why Dave Ramsey's advice, though solid for most, isn't tailored to business owners and can actually hinder entrepreneurial growth. Coaches need to help clients recognize where profit really comes from—often through strategic hiring rather than traditional assets. Advice for Young Entrepreneurs For a 21-year-old approaching seven figures in business, Karl shares direct "notes to his younger self": Prioritize learning and history over hype Avoid gambling culture Understand the dangers of chasing status Find mentors closest to your goals Success follows through other people—cultivate loyalty Real success takes five years—play the long game How to Raise Client Prices and Increase Profitability Karl reveals a "scaling" pricing model to onboard high-ticket clients incrementally and why innovation and value creation are the keys to charging more. He provides a three-prong value breakdown—practical, inherent, and social—and explains how to move clients from being compared "apples to apples" to "apples to oranges" in their market. Group Coaching and Retention Leverage Retaining clients and boosting perceived value through live events and group coaching is explored. Karl draws direct connections between authority, events, and pricing power. Moment of Zen Inspiration from sports, family holidays, and leadership culture. Karl shares the magic of "Mickey Points" for family bonding and how elite athletes prime themselves for risk and resilience. The lesson: unlearning old habits is often the hardest—and most valuable—growth. Notable Quotes "Owning a home is as much psychological as it is an investment—it's security for your family." — Karl Bryan "Motivation is great, but a successful life is about avoiding stupid—capitalize, underline, and italicize 'stupid'!" — Karl Bryan "Raising prices is more complicated than just slapping on 10%—innovation and adding value are the keys to creating profitable clients." — Karl Bryan "Don't ask people close to you, ask people closest to your goal. If you want a great marriage, talk to someone with a 50-year marriage." — Karl Bryan "The higher-level question is: How can we increase profits 100% and keep clients happy?" — Karl Bryan Actionable Takeaways Be Critical of Debt Offers: Young families should double down on principal payments if stuck with a longer-term mortgage and avoid upgrading lifestyle unnecessarily. Invest in People Before Assets: Entrepreneurs get the highest ROI by investing in team and systems before stocks or real estate. Leverage Group and Live Events: Group coaching and live events increase perceived value, retention, and pricing power. Innovate to Escape Commodity Pricing: Break out from "apples to apples" pricing by amplifying practical, inherent, and social value—be different, not cheaper. Avoid Your Worst Activity: Personal and client progress accelerates by cutting the most counterproductive habits first, not just starting new ones. Play the Long Game: Real business and personal success takes at least five years—commit, persist, and learn continuously.

Mike Hanson, CTO at Clockwise, joins the show to break down how our relationship with computers is changing as language based systems reshape expectations. We explore why natural storytelling feels so intuitive with today's AI tools, how context is becoming the new currency of great software, and why narrow AI is often more powerful than the industry hype suggests.This conversation gives tech leaders a grounded look at what is real, what is noise, and what is coming fast.Key Takeaways• Natural storytelling is becoming the default way people communicate with AI, and products must adjust to that shift.• Context is the driving force behind great interaction design and LLM powered systems now surface and use context at a scale traditional UIs never could.• Most real world gains come from narrow AI that solves focused everyday problems, not from broad AGI promises.• Multi agent systems and multiplayer coordination are emerging as the next frontier for enterprise AI.• The biggest risk is not model weakness but user uncertainty about when an answer is trustworthy.Timestamped Highlights01:21 What Clockwise is building with its scheduling brain and how natural language creates new value04:13 Why humans default to storytelling and how LLMs finally make that instinct useful08:00 The rising expectation that software should understand context the way people do12:13 The shift away from feed centric design and toward multi person coordination in AI systems17:31 Why narrow AI delivers real value while wide AI often creates anxiety23:52 A real world example of how AI can remove busy work by orchestrating tasks across tools26:24 Why we do not need AGI to meaningfully improve everyday productivityA standout thoughtPeople have always tried to talk to computers in a natural way. The difference now is that the systems finally understand us well enough to meet us where we already are.Pro Tips• Look for AI that reduces busy work across tools rather than chasing broad capability.• Prioritize context rich interactions in your product planning. It will define user expectations for years to come.• Treat multi person workflows as the next major opportunity. Most teams still rely on manual coordination.Call to actionIf this episode helped you think differently about where AI is actually useful, follow the show and share it with someone who is building product in this space.

What happens when the life you built suddenly falls apart? What do you do when your identity, success, and sense of purpose are shaken to the core? Too many leaders push through pressure, burnout, and quiet frustration—never stopping to ask the deeper questions: Who am I becoming? What truly matters? And how do I rebuild when everything feels uncertain?In this powerful episode, we sit down with Josh Kosnick, a true Bridge Builder—a leader forged through fire and guided by faith. As the founder of Kairos Coaching and an EOS Implementer, Josh has a rare gift: helping individuals and organizations align their vision with execution while turning adversity into a launching pad for deeper purpose. Having built and exited three successful businesses, Josh brings firsthand wisdom on resilience, identity, and transformation. Through his masterminds, retreats, and mentorship, he inspires others to embrace their calling, overcome setbacks, and build legacies rooted in authenticity, strength, and generosity of spirit.If you're navigating pressure, leadership challenges, personal transition, or the tug-of-war between ambition and purpose, Josh's story and insights will challenge you, steady you, and equip you for the next chapter.Quotes:"My hope is to catch people before they have a fall, to realign some priorities, and get right with God, their most key relationships, and their health.""The more I mature, the less I feel I actually know.""Jesus was never in a hurry. He was always purposeful. How much hurry do we have in our lives, and how much are we missing by not being present and intentional?"Actionable Takeaways:Schedule a "clarity break" each week—a dedicated, distraction-free hour away from your office and home to reflect on your priorities, challenges, and vision for growth.Evaluate your identity beyond your job title: Ask yourself, "Who am I beyond what I do? What relationships and values truly define me?"Prioritize and protect key relationships by intentionally blocking time on your calendar for family, faith, wellbeing, and important milestones—don't let busyness replace what matters most.Seek diverse perspectives and build a support network—including coaches, mentors, or team members who challenge and complement your strengths—instead of trying to achieve everything alone.ConclusionJosh's story reminds us that real leadership is forged in the moments we don't choose—the losses, the transitions, the unexpected breaks that force us to confront who we truly are. His journey is a powerful blueprint for anyone striving to lead with conviction, rebuild with clarity, and live with purpose.

Today's guest is Bill Smart. Bill is a sport scientist and physical preparation coach specializing in elite fight-sports performance. As the founder of Smarter Performance and the Strength & Conditioning lead for the CORE MMA team, Bill integrates cutting-edge evidence with real-world high-performance systems to enable combat athletes to show up on fight day in optimal physiological condition. Much of the conversation in sports performance hinges on speed and power development, or conditioning, as a stand-alone conversation. Sport itself is dynamic and combines elements of speed, strength, and endurance in a dynamic space. Training should follow the same considerations to be truly alive and effective. In the episode, Bill shares his journey from cycling and rowing to combat sports. He discusses how long isometric holds develop both physical and mental resilience, and their implementation in his programming. The conversation dives into muscle-oxygen dynamics, integrating ISOs with conditioning, and how testing shapes his approach. Bill also explores flywheel eccentrics, fascicle-length development, and why sprinting is a key element for maintaining elastic power in elite fighters.

Watch athletes move in multiple contexts before prescribing anything. Look for how they transition between patterns, not only the end positions. Use video less for judgment and more for curiosity. What is the athlete trying to do? 11:35 – Identifying limiting factors Athletes plateau when coaches overemphasize one metric or capacity while ignoring the real constraint. Look beyond the weight room; technical or psychological factors often drive plateaus. Use minimal testing data to narrow focus rather than justify complexity. Sometimes the limiting factor is overcoaching. Let athletes fail and self-correct. 20:42 – Strength that transfers Transfer happens when strength work complements, not competes with, the sport's rhythm and intent. Prioritize strength that preserves elasticity and timing rather than just force output. Rotate exercises often enough to keep athletes adaptive, but not so often that they lose rhythm. Load movement patterns, not just muscles. Treat every lift as coordination under resistance. 30:01 – Variability and play in training Bill describes play as a teaching tool that restores creativity and problem-solving in athletes. Use small games, uneven surfaces, or timing constraints to build adaptable movers. Variability should be purposeful. Expand coordination bandwidth without losing technical intent. Schedule “uncoached” time in sessions where athletes explore movement freely. 40:36 – Coaching communication and connection Great coaching depends on trust and empathy before information transfer.

This episode is powered by The Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz , your first step in uncovering how to leverage your divine wiring to lead with alignment as you stop sabotaging your next level of success. Discover your divine wiring and uncover what's REALLY keeping YOU from millions. The MTM Minute is a quick dose of inspiration with a powerful affirmation based on our weekly full-length episode.  And beginning this season, the MTM Minute will include a prayer of the week for 7 figure CEOs and 7 figure CEOs in the making.  That's right, you don't have to choose – you can love God AND make millions. This MTM Minute is a rewind based on a full length episode that ran earlier this season, Step Into Your 7-Figure Identity,  I shared why your identity is messing with your money.  Click the link above to listen.   This week's 7 Figure CEO Affirmation is "I am stepping into my seven-figure identity with confidence and clarity. My worth is rooted in abundance, and I release any limiting beliefs that no longer serve me. As I align my spirit with my purpose, my business grows and thrives with ease. I am the leader my business needs to expand, and I am fully capable of manifesting the wealth and success that are my divine birthright. My actions are aligned with the seven-figure CEO I am becoming, and as I elevate my identity, my business flourishes."   Here are three actionable tips to anchor in this week's affirmation Shift Your Identity: Reflect on the ways you may be tying your self-worth to money. Start embodying the seven-figure CEO you aspire to be by affirming that your value is not defined by your bank balance. Spend time daily in practices that reinforce your belief in abundance, like prayer, affirmations, and visualizations. Upgrade Your Daily Habits: Begin to adopt a CEO-level routine. Prioritize growth-producing activities like strategic decision-making, setting boundaries, and focusing on your highest-value tasks. Start each day grounded in spiritual alignment to maintain clarity, purpose, and momentum. Expand Your Environment: Evaluate the circles you're in and ensure you're surrounding yourself with people who think expansively and live in abundance. This may involve investing in mentors, attending events, or engaging with individuals who challenge and support your growth to the next level.   Affirm with me: "I am stepping into my seven-figure identity with confidence and clarity. My worth is rooted in abundance, and I release any limiting beliefs that no longer serve me. As I align my spirit with my purpose, my business grows and thrives with ease. I am the leader my business needs to expand, and I am fully capable of manifesting the wealth and success that are my divine birthright. My actions are aligned with the seven-figure CEO I am becoming, and as I elevate my identity, my business flourishes."   And this week's journal prompts are: "I am stepping into my seven-figure identity by embracing… "The limiting belief I am replacing in order to fully embody my seven-figure self is "To align with the seven-figure CEO I am becoming, today I will take bold action by..."   And your prayer of the week: Prayer for Boldness and Abundance: Heavenly Father, I come before You with gratitude for the vision You've placed in my heart. I know that I am capable of reaching the seven-figure success that is my divine birthright. Lord, help me to shift my identity and align it with the abundance You have already prepared for me. Guide me as I step boldly into the CEO I am meant to be, releasing any beliefs or habits that no longer serve me. May my actions reflect my true worth, and may my business flourish as I grow into the leader You have called me to be. I trust that as I elevate my identity and embody my higher purpose, You will continue to open doors of opportunity, guide my steps, and provide the abundance I need to impact the lives of those I serve. Thank You for the strength to make this shift and the grace to carry it out. In Jesus' name, I pray. Amen.     Want more of Darnyelle?

Today, on Notable Leaders' Radio, I speak with Tony Crescenzo, CEO of Intelligent Waves & Founder of Peak Neuro, LLC. He highlights his compelling journey from a resilient upbringing and military service to pioneering leadership insights and transformative healing with brain-training technology.   In today's episode, we discuss: Remember the importance of "always do the right thing." Tony's grandfather's timeless advice served as his moral compass, guiding him through every personal and business decision. He discovered that by valuing integrity, you foster trust and build a strong, lasting reputation. See adversity as an opportunity to grow and learn. Tony's time in the military, especially the hurdles he faced as his military career came to a close, reminds us how much reputation truly matters. Welcome setbacks as moments to build character and become someone others truly respect and trust. To ease conflicts, try to understand the root of fear rather than just anger. Through his journey with anger, he learned that anger is really fear turned upside down. Embracing this awareness enabled him to transition from fear/anger to compassion and a deeper understanding of himself and others in times of challenge. Consider responding to anger with empathy—it can be a beautiful way to strengthen both your work and personal relationships. Prioritize your sleep and mental health with effective strategies. For instance, Tony saw wonderful improvements in his sleep, memory, and mood by using brainwave entrainment. Taking some proactive steps to care for yourself—such as getting good rest and keeping your mind clear—can truly make a significant difference in your happiness and productivity. Adopt the idea of "generals eat last" as your leadership guiding principle. As Tony beautifully shared, inspiring leaders always put their teams first, creating a warm environment full of trust and stability. When you focus on serving and supporting others, it gently builds loyalty and can significantly lift your team's performance. Embracing this approach can truly make your leadership journey more rewarding and fulfilling! Be open to new modalities of healing. Tony lived with PTSD for 30 years. He believed his anger and stress from his time in the military were a part of him and his life now. It wasn't until he stumbled across a new assistive technology that he learned that was not the case. It is also inspired the creation of PeakNeuro, an AI-enabled platform that uses acoustic audio-entrainment to help veterans and leaders regulate stress, get better sleep, and improve human performance overall through cognitive resilience. Is anger and or stress driving your life? If yes, check out PeakNeuro. It may be just the help you have been looking for.

Welcome to another episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm. Today, host Roger Knecht welcomes Mark Myers, a former Marine and CEO of Tax Wise Partners, to discuss his journey from managing health clubs to specializing in tax advisory. This episode delves into effective tax planning strategies, the power of B2B collaborations for accounting firms, and personal insights on entrepreneurship and work-life balance. In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Mark Myers 02:16 From Operator to Tax Consultant 06:39 The Value of Tax Planning 09:27 B2B Marketing for Tax Strategies 13:19 Collaboration and Pricing Model 17:46 Business Mantra & Ideal Client 21:51 Entrepreneurial Journey & Freedom 27:37 Sacrifices, Gratitude, and Legacy 33:03 Advice for Budding Entrepreneurs 37:58 Charitable Giving & Final Thoughts 46:50 Podcast Wrap-up and Resources Key Takeaways: Explore tax efficiency beyond standard preparation by understanding the 75,000 pages of tax code. Leverage B2B partnerships with RIAs, CPAs, EAs, and bookkeepers to expand service offerings without increasing bandwidth. Prioritize service quality and responsiveness to maintain strong relationships with strategic partners and their clients. Identify ideal clients for advanced tax strategies, typically those with $400,000+ in ordinary income or significant capital gains. Plan your entrepreneurial transition by securing a baseline income and managing expenses to reduce stress. Featured Quotes: "There's 75,000 pages of tax code. There's a lot of ways to reduce your taxes if you know where the coupons are." — Mark Myers "You only have so much time in a day and there's compliance work that has to be done… Where do you have time to figure out what is possible, not just what's the norm?" — Mark Myers "I always say, don't take that huge jump and say, 'I'm just gonna figure it out.' Retract as much as you can… and have some metric of income that can at least get you 80 or 90% to your number." — Mark Myers Behind the Story: Mark Myers recounts his unexpected entry into the tax world, initially drawn by the tax efficiency of insurance in estate planning. His experience as an operator, focused on revenue and margins, gave him a unique perspective on optimizing finances. This led to his specialized B2B tax advisory model, partnering with existing financial professionals to offer advanced tax strategies without competing with their core services. He reflects on the personal sacrifices and the unwavering support of his wife during the challenging early days of building his business, emphasizing the importance of planning transitions. Top 3 Highlights: Tax Strategy Specialization: Mark Myers focuses solely on tax planning, differentiating it from tax preparation to offer significant savings (average 50%) to clients.

Colonel Grant Newsham, United States Marine Corps retired, discusses Marine Corps planning for deployment in East Asia if China attacks Taiwan. Current plans prioritize placing small missile units on Pacific islands to target Chinese ships.

Nearly 16 million veterans live in the United States, and while 9 million receive care through the Veterans Health Administration, about 40% rely entirely on civilian healthcare. That's where the challenge begins: many veterans are navigating a system that isn't designed for their unique health needs. Veterans outside the VA system often face barriers that lead to poorer outcomes—delays in diagnosis, fragmented care, and overlooked service-related conditions. The healthcare system must do better. In this episode of Radio Advisory, host Rachel (Rae) Woods talks with Optum Serve experts Christi Kruse and Christine Erspamer about what it takes to close this gap. Drawing on their in-depth ethnographic research, Christi and Christine explore why understanding the veteran patient journey is critical, how to integrate data-driven population health strategies, and the role of publicly available tools and guidelines, along with other practical solutions. The conversation doesn't stop at veterans. These insights can help healthcare leaders better serve other vulnerable populations, too. Stay tuned through the end of the episode for a special message from Optum Serve CEO Ed Weinberg, as he shares how Optum Serve is honoring the lived experiences of veterans and military families, and calls on clinical providers to lead with compassion, consistency, and purpose. We're here to help: Research Study: Caring for Veterans and Military Families Devoted to Improving Lives Across the Nation | Optum Business Military & Veteran Health Care Journey: Infographic Join us for an upcoming State of the Industry webinars, where Advisory Board experts will challenge three long-standing assumptions about the healthcare industry — and reveal the powerful new dynamics reshaping the future.

// Prioritizing Jesus In How I Act // This week we kicked off our new series "Prioritize," born out of real conversations with our high school students about what's actually happening in their lives and what's pulling at their attention. We're asking a big question: What does it look like to put Jesus first in everything? In Week 1, Pastor Zach talks about prioritizing Jesus in how we act—not just what we believe or say, but the choices we make every day.

http://tonicollis.com/how-to-prioritize-work-to-get-promoted/If your calendar is overflowing but your career feels stuck, this episode is for you. You're not alone in the busyness trap. For so many high-achieving women in tech, doing more has always felt like the way to get ahead — but it's not what gets you promoted. In this episode of the Leading Women in Tech Podcast, we're unpacking the truth behind prioritizing impactful work, the hidden gap between performance and promotion, and how to build the kind of executive presence that actually gets noticed. If you're ready to stop being the go-to person for everything and start focusing on what truly shifts your career — this episode will show you how to lead smarter, not harder.

From Struggle To StrategyClifton Sellers' journey is a masterclass in resilience. From battling addiction and personal loss to building a thriving ghostwriting agency, his story is one of radical transformation. In this episode of Just Keep Learning, Clifton opens up about his darkest chapters, and how he used writing, therapy, and entrepreneurship to rewrite his life.We explore how he went from surviving trauma to helping others share their stories, and what it truly means to move from inspiration to execution.Writing As A LifelineClifton first found healing through journaling raw, unfiltered pages that helped him make sense of the chaos. Over time, writing became more than just self-expression. It became a service.

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik goes straight at a common executive myth: “lonely at the top.” Former CEO, five-time Ironman, and Arcqus Group founder Dusty Holcomb breaks down how isolation is often a self-selected operating system—rooted in fear and perfectionism—and how to replace it with connection discipline. We unpack identity vs. title, minimum viable discipline, keystone reflections, and why leaders should be obsessed with asking better questions, not having all the answers.   About the Guest: Dusty Holcomb is an operator-turned-coach, former CEO, five-time Ironman, and founder of The Arcqus Group. He hosts the podcast Leadership Unlocked and has kept a 28-year streak of daily leadership reflections focused on character, clarity, and service.   Key Takeaways: Isolation is often a self-selected stance driven by fear of being “the one with all the answers”; leadership is about ensuring the right questions are asked and answered. Adopt a beginner's mind: “Help me understand what I might be missing” invites collaboration without weaponizing questions. Shift from being interesting to being interested; curiosity is the fastest on-ramp to trust and connection. Identity beats perfection: define your minimum viable discipline (e.g., 100 pushups/100 situps, a short walk) so the habit survives travel, fatigue, and chaos. Pre-decide for success: make the important thing easy (systems and prep the night before) and give yourself grace when you miss—then immediately resume. Titles are temporary; you're a steward of a role. Prioritize permanent roles (parent/partner/human) so work doesn't swallow your life. Keystone moments come from reflection; journaling codifies lessons you've “paid tuition” for and lets others benefit. Build an external mentorship/counsel loop; leadership doesn't have to be lonely when you design for connection. Tactical this week: schedule one 15-minute listening block with a teammate; prune one commitment and define the replacement behavior. North-star check: Who am I becoming—and would I follow that person?   How to Connect with the Guest   LinkedIn: Dusty Holcomb Website/Newsletter: https://www.arcqusgroup.com/ Podcast: Leadership Unlocked   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

We find ourselves in one of the most challenging sections of Romans, where Paul confronts us with a profound truth: the law reveals our sin but cannot save us from it. Through the lens of the tenth commandment—'thou shalt not covet'—we discover how deeply sin runs in our hearts. The message uses a simple yet powerful illustration of children wanting each other's ice cream to show us something profound: we are perfectly content with what we have until we see what others possess. This isn't just about material things; it's about the human heart's tendency to compare, desire, and ultimately rebel against God's boundaries. The beauty of this teaching lies in its honesty—we learn that even the greatest saints, like Paul himself, wrestled with sin daily. The law acts as a mirror, showing us our need for a Savior, but it cannot cleanse us. Only the blood of Jesus can do that. When we stand before God, it won't be our good deeds that save us, but Christ stepping onto the scales of justice in our place. This message calls us to guard our hearts, cultivate gratitude instead of covetousness, and remember that when we do fall—and we will—we have an advocate in Jesus Christ who pleads our case before the Father.### Sermon Notes: Understanding Romans 7:7-14#### Detailed Notes1. **Introduction**  - The sermon focuses on Romans 7:7-14, noted as a dense and challenging part of the scripture where Paul discusses the law and sin.  - Central theme: The law's role in revealing sin and the struggle of living under sin's influence despite knowing the law.2. **Prayer for Clarity**  - Asking for divine help to illuminate the passage and remove distractions for better understanding.3. **Missions Update**  - Brief updates on church missions to Malawi, South Africa, and Myanmar, emphasizing global reach and community impact.4. **Exposition of Romans 7:7-14**  - Example of coveting as illustrated in Exodus 20:17 (The Tenth Commandment).  - Story of personal experience with grandchildren to highlight the human tendency toward covetousness.  - Emphasis that coveting stems from the heart, leading to actions contrary to God's commandment.5. **Boundaries and Sin**  - Illustration of boundaries using a playground metaphor, explaining how humans naturally push against established limits.  - The law serves as a boundary to reveal the sin within, not to save.6. **Parable of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21)**  - Jesus teaching against covetousness by focusing on the parable where temporal possessions take precedence over spiritual richness.  - Warning against the dangers of greed and the temporal nature of material possessions.7. **David and Bathsheba (2 Samuel 11-12)**  - The story of King David's sin due to covetousness as a demonstration of how a desire stems from the heart and leads to breaking multiple commandments.  - Nathan's confrontation of David and the ensuing consequences.8. **Covetousness and Spiritual Life**  - Recognizing that covetousness begins in the heart and can lead to a cascade of sinful actions.  - Encouragement to guard the heart against such desires (Proverbs 4:23).9. **Paul's Struggle with Sin**  - Insight into Paul's internal struggle with sin, possibly rooted in personal inadequacies and past actions.  - Importance of grace through Jesus as the only path to overcoming sin.10. **Practical Implications of the Sermon**  - Recognizing our daily battles with sin and relying on Jesus as our advocate.  - Importance of gratitude as a weapon against covetousness and material obsession.  - Encouraging humility and recognition of one's sinfulness to experience growth and redemption.#### Practical Applications1. **Cultivate Gratitude**  - Regularly practice gratitude to combat covetousness. Maintain a gratitude journal or share daily thanks with family or friends.2. **Guard Your Heart**  - Be mindful of thoughts that lead to coveting. Establish personal 'guardrails' when engaging with media that fuels envy or discontentment.3. **Recognize Boundaries**  - Identify areas in life where you push against God's established boundaries and work on staying centered through prayer and reflection.4. **Pursue Spiritual Richness**  - Prioritize investments in spiritual growth over material acquisitions. Participate in church activities, bible studies, and community services.5. **Rely on Jesus' Advocacy**  - When struggling with sin, verbally acknowledge Jesus as your advocate in prayer to foster reliance on His grace.#### Discussion Questions1. How does understanding the purpose of the law help you in your daily struggle with sin?2. Can you identify ways in which covetousness surfaces in your life? How do you typically respond to it?3. Reflect on a situation where gratitude has helped you overcome feelings of envy or dissatisfaction. Share with the group.4. In what ways can we as a community support each other in establishing and respecting personal and spiritual boundaries?5. How does the understanding of Jesus as your advocate change your perspective on personal failings and sins?

In this episode of The Family Biz Show, family business consultant Michael Palumbos is joined by Shawn Barberis of More Than Money 360 to explore how high-net-worth families can protect and grow their family wealth by focusing on communication, values, and legacy—not just dollars. Together, they unpack proven strategies to strengthen generational continuity, including the five pillars of success and six laws of family advancement. 1. Shawn's Journey & "More Than Money" (02:23–08:18) Shawn shares why he left law to launch a firm focused on the relational and cultural side of legacy. He realized families needed more than documents—they needed systems to protect family wealth through values, communication, and structure. 2. Perception vs. Reality of Risk (14:53–17:00) Most families fear market loss, but data shows 85% of wealth loss stems from broken trust and poor communication. Shawn highlights why this mindset shift is crucial to family legacy. 3. The Engagement Process (19:10–21:05) A 3-step approach: educate the family, define the legacy goal, and build a values-based plan. Legacy is built through process—not a single event. 4. Five Pillars of Generational Success (23:10–27:26) The foundation of enduring family wealth: communication, core values, family legacy, philanthropy, and governance—all working together to sustain family purpose and identity. 5. Six Laws of Family Advancement (29:27–35:42) From gratitude over entitlement to rising gen empowerment and transparent meetings, Shawn shares six laws that help families sustain wealth and legacy long term. 6. System, Process & the MTM Meter (37:29–41:19) Shawn introduces the More Than Money Meter—a tool that tracks how prepared and satisfied families are across the five pillars. As he says, "You can't improve what you don't measure." Tangible Takeaways for Leaders of Family Businesses Realize that the biggest threat to your family's lasting wealth is likely not the markets — it's breakdown in communication, trust and shared purpose. Use a process, not just an event: Begin with the end in mind, build curriculum, set outcome criteria. Prioritize the rising generation early: Give them voice, let them lead in meaningful ways, particularly in areas like impact investing or philanthropy. Use measurement: As you would for a business strategic plan or financial plan, set baseline, track progress in communication, values, legacy and governance. Consider your advisor ecosystem: One "quarterback" advisor who understands the family, across generations, often provides better continuity than multiple siloed advisors.

Stay Curious, Stay Strong: Longevity Lessons from a DC Clinic Tour In this episode, Doc Danny Matta shares powerful lessons on longevity, curiosity, and self-care after visiting four PT-owned clinics in Washington, D.C. From a 60-year-old Pilates enthusiast who crushed him in class to a marathoner aiming to beat his 27-year-old PR, Danny reflects on what these experiences revealed about health, purpose, and the long game of entrepreneurship. Quick Ask If this episode hits home, share it with a friend who's burning the candle at both ends—or post it to your Instagram stories and tag @dannymattaPT so he can reshare! Let's help more clinicians build healthy lives and businesses that last. Episode Summary Clinic visits in D.C.: Danny spent a week touring four PT-owned clinics (including a Pilates studio) and connecting with owners, staff, and patients. The Pilates powerhouse: A 60-year-old woman outperformed Danny in class and credited her vitality to one thing—staying curious and always learning. The marathoner mindset: Another 60-year-old was training to beat his Marine Corps Marathon time from 27 years ago—his advice? Sleep more and drink water. Simple, free habits win: Curiosity, rest, and hydration form the foundation of longevity—no gimmicks required. Apply it as a clinician: Ask your high-performing patients what they do differently; use those insights to improve your own health and coaching. Entrepreneur health check: You can't pour into your business or family if you're constantly running on empty—protect your energy like your P&L. Lessons & Takeaways Curiosity compounds: Learning new things keeps your mind sharp and your spirit young. Sleep is recovery: It's not a luxury—it's the base of longevity for your body and business. Hydration matters: Replace the third cup of coffee with water; small habits stack over time. Reverse engineer success: When you meet someone thriving, ask how they got there—and apply it. Entrepreneurs need maintenance: You're your most valuable asset; take care of your health like your bottom line depends on it (because it does). Mindset & Motivation Be a novice again: It's okay not to know something. Growth only happens in discomfort. Longevity requires balance: Ambition without rest leads to burnout, not greatness. Model the outcome: Your patients and team are watching—lead by example in how you live, not just what you teach. Pro Tips for Clinicians Spot your outliers: Identify patients living the life you want—ask questions, take notes, learn from them. Integrate lessons: Use real patient stories to inspire others in your clinic community. Audit your own longevity: Rate your current sleep, hydration, learning, and physical activity—then pick one to improve this week. Guard your bandwidth: Schedule recovery time like a meeting—because it's just as important. Notable Quotes "Never stop learning. As soon as you stop, that's when you start to decay." "Prioritize sleep and drink water—simple, free, and most people still don't do it." "You have to pour back into yourself just as much as you pour into everyone else." Action Items Find one patient or peer who inspires you—ask what habits keep them sharp. Commit to one new learning pursuit this month (course, book, skill, hobby). Audit your sleep and hydration for seven days; adjust routines as needed. Share a story of someone who motivates you on social media and tag @dannymattaPT.

This week we discuss changing the outcome of your health with nutrition & exercise.  Our guest today is Dr. James Thompson, the author of Fearless Wellness and a passionate advocate for transformational change. He completed medical training 35 years ago and has dedicated my career to empowering others to live healthier, more fulfilling lives.  ​He experienced a life-changing event in 2012 and participated in a 21-day Daniel Fast with my church community. Though the three-week diet, equivalent to a whole food plant-based diet, was intended to emphasize prayer, the impact of the food intrigued him. By the end of the second week, he had more energy, fewer joint aches, more mental clarity, better sleep, and lower blood pressure. He surmised the benefits were mainly from consuming real food and omitting processed food.  He decided to take a year-long certification course in integrative holistic nutrition which was the start of his transformation to a whole food plant-based lifestyle. His training course, combined with a decade of studying nutrition science, love of animals, and concerns about climate change, has led me to the current space where he resides, a vegan. ​Here is the basic outline  & links to his Blog and his new book : "FEARLESS Wellness: Transform Your Life, One Step at a Time" F – Food: Embrace plant-based eating E – Exercise: Stay active regularly A – Avoid toxins: Eliminate harmful habits (e.g., tobacco) R – Restorative sleep: Prioritize quality rest L – Lessen stress: Manage and reduce daily pressures E – Engage your mind: Stimulate mental growth S – Social energy: Cultivate empathy and connections S – Spiritual connectivity: Foster a sense of purpose and belonging ​  

Cenn, City of Chains shakes and rumbles. A threat once only felt through the tremors of the ground emerges, claws long, hide scaled, and sharp… sharp all over. Even whiskers sharp. A master of the earth. A being that digs not only through the earth, but through—or around, or perhaps outside of—time itself! The Draco-Mole appears! This week on Perpetua: A Roar Across Cenn 04 Perpetua Guide [In Progress v.05] NPCs & Monsters [PNMS] Rotten Draco-Mole [NMGNS] Traits: Frenzied, Confused, Furious, Single-Minded Stats: DEX 6,  INS 6, MIG 12, WLP 8 Attacks: Stone Cage, Heavy Claw, Plate Swipe Special Abilities:  Dragon's Breath, Rub Some Dirt On It!, Dig In-Game Description: A massive, draconic mole shaking with an ancient power. Chances are that you managed to de-escalate or speed through the Kalsi confrontation, which means that there's a good chance that this will be the first "real" boss fight for your eastern party campaign. So: Make sure to come in prepared: Rest up (and use your most combat-focused camp activities). Top up on inventory points. Make sure you get your equipment sorted. And then go fight a big friggin' dragon! This thing (which I heard you can learn the 'real' name of, but I haven't found it yet) is TOUGH. A ton of HP and really solid defense compared to most enemies you've fought so far. Plus, it has a full set of elemental resistances, immunities, and weaknesses. It doesn't take "neutral" damage from ANYTHING. Focus on Dark, Light, and Poison damage if you have any abilities, and don't forget about the power of elemental shards!  In terms of staying safe, the Rotten Draco-Mole mostly does physical and earth damage, so prep to resist that, too. You should also try to time your healing right. When it hides underground, that's your chance to spend a turn licking your own wounds (just like it can do!). Starter Tip: STONECAGE DOES NOT GO AWAY ON ITS OWN. You have to break the walls or dig the person stuck inside out yourself. Prioritize this!
