Check out the Companion Video for this podcast: https://youtu.be/px_yXi62N1k Are you eating keto or carnivore… but still feeling stressed, tired, disconnected, or overwhelmed? In today's episode of the 2KK Uncensored Podcast, Joe and Rachel go beyond food and into something deeper: ancestral living. Because here's the truth: you can eat ancestrally at the fork, but if your sleep, stress, movement, attention, identity, and environment are completely modern — your health will suffer. We talk all the time about eating meat, lowering carbs, and focusing on real food. But what if the missing piece isn't more protein… it's how you live? In this episode, we unpack: • Why eating carnivore isn't the same as living ancestrally • The hidden stress of 24-hour news cycles and constant global awareness • How modern convenience is quietly destroying resilience • Why multitasking is a myth (and how fragmented attention impacts your nervous system) • The importance of true rest vs. screen-time "recovery" • Why sleep environment matters more than you think • How outsourcing everything weakens competence and confidence • The lost art of hunting, gathering, and appreciating your food supply • Why children today are missing key developmental experiences • The danger of replacing real community with digital belonging • How social media conflict is reshaping relationships and families • Why discomfort, delayed gratification, and effort are essential for health We also share personal stories from farm life — processing animals, raising food, reconnecting to nature, turning off noise, and learning firsthand that health isn't just about macros. If 80% of health is nutrition, the other 20% is sleep, stress management, movement, identity, belonging, and environment. And that 20% may be the piece most people ignore. You don't have to go live in the woods or give up electricity to live more ancestrally. But you can: • Reduce digital noise • Prioritize face-to-face connection • Create a better sleep environment • Move more naturally • Rebuild resilience • Step away from constant stimulation • Reconnect to nature and real food This episode will challenge you to examine where modern life is quietly undermining your keto or carnivore results — and how to begin closing the gap. Because ancestral eating without ancestral living only gets you part of the way there.   ✅✅✅Check out some of our Channel Sponsors:✅✅✅ Keto Chow: https://2krazyketos.org/Ketochow (automatically gives you 10% off) SaltT Electrolytes: https://2krazyketos.org/Salt (automatically gives you 10% off) Carnivore Bar: https://2krazyketos.org/carnivorebar use code 2krazyketos for 10% off Redmond Real Salt: http://bit.ly/Redmondsalt2kk (2krazyketos for 15% off) Keto Brainz: https://2krazyketos.org/KetoBrainz Keto Brick: https://bit.ly/Ketobrick Caraway Cookware: https://2krazyketos.org/Caraway (Gives 10% discount)  Pro One Water Filters: https://2krazyketos.org/ProOne  Scrummy Sweets: https://2krazyketos.org/scrummy  

Bridget Phetasy breaks down the longest State of the Union in history and why the Democrats' response is only making their "man problem" worse. From Trump's "aggressively masculine" variety hour to the nagging energy of the opposition, Bridget explores why the left is losing blue-collar men to the "Truck Commercial" energy of the GOP. #Democrats #Trump #SOTU #ManProblem #dumpsterfire #Olympics #Hockey Topics covered: State of the Union variety hour, why men are leaving the Democratic party, Trump's Oprah-style medals, the "Idiocracy" of modern politics, masculine vs feminine political branding. 

On Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, hosted by Sana (filling in for Avik Chakraborty), we unpack why “feeling fine” isn't the same as being strong—especially as the body quietly changes with age. This episode is for anyone feeling slower, more tired, or unsure what to track. Mike McGlothlin connects the dots between muscle loss (sarcopenia), VO2 max, and cellular health (phase angle)—and how testing, small training shifts, and consistent recovery can protect your energy, mobility, and long-term independence. About the Guest: Mike McGlothlin, CPT has lived with diabetes for 25+ years and shifted his focus from managing it to working toward reversal. He's the founder of Ageless Fitness (Florida) and shares a “test, don't guess” approach to strength, cardio-respiratory fitness, and recovery. Episode Chapters: 00:05:25 — Why health shows up in stairs, recovery, and “everyday strength” 00:08:11 — Sarcopenia: the muscle-loss problem people miss 00:10:55 — The real risks: falls, frailty, and functional decline 00:14:23 — “Responsible” strength building without heavy lifting 00:18:27 — VO2 max: a wellness metric, not just fitness 00:21:33 — Chasing numbers vs building outcomes you care about 00:24:03 — Phase angle + cellular health: the “battery” analogy that lands Key Takeaways: Track skeletal muscle mass, not just weight—muscle impacts glucose use. Use testing (body scans, VO2) to guide training instead of guessing. Build strength with targeted, joint-friendly resistance and consistency. Treat VO2 max as a future-independence metric tied to daily function. Prioritize recovery practices that help you train again—better.

Join Jim and Greg for the Wednesday 3 Martini Lunch as they dissect President Trump making the Democrats look heartless and crazy in their refusal to applaud almost anything, Trump's reluctance to pursue an aggressive legislative agenda this year, Virginia Gov. Abigail Spanberger's forgettable rebuttal to Trump's speech, and the truly insane event Dems put on during the speech.First, they explain what they liked about the speech, including Trump exposing that Democrats oppose the protection of citizens over illegal aliens and or stopping schools or local governments from transitioning minors without the knowledge or consent of parents. Democrats also refused to clap for families traumatized by violent crime and even seemed pretty unenthused about the Olympic champion hockey team. Talk about an own goal!Next, they scratch their heads at news that President Trump doesn't want to pursue another reconciliation bill in Congress this year to pass more GOP fiscal priorities while Republicans still hold majorities on both sides of Capitol Hill. Jim and Greg urge him to reconsider and point to the value such an agenda would have on the midterms.Finally, they pan the Democrats' rebuttal delivered by Gov. Spanberger, noting what they see as hypocrisy on some issues and incoherence on others. They also highlight the thoroughly bizarre event lefties ran in opposition to the State of the Union.Please visit our great sponsors:Take your personal data back with Incogni—use code 3ML for 60% off an annual plan at https://Incogni.com/3MLLive better, longer with BUBS Naturals.

Welcome back to another episode of School Counseling Simplified. Today I am interviewing Colleen, a school counselor and IMPACT member, who shares her journey from nursing school to school counseling and her passion for teaching students the coping skills she did not learn growing up. Colleen Mosley is a School Counselor in Long Island, New York. This is her fourth year at her current school. Previously, she worked as a School Counselor for four years in Northern Virginia. Before becoming a counselor, she served on the Leadership Team at a private school in Northern Virginia. Colleen is deeply passionate about equipping students with lifelong coping skills and believes that work is at the heart of why she became a School Counselor. What does Colleen love about school counseling Colleen shares that she loves being the person she did not have growing up. She finds it incredibly fulfilling to teach children skills they can use throughout their lifetime. What does Colleen love about individual sessions Because she sees all students weekly for classroom lessons, she is able to build strong rapport and positive relationships early on. When students come to her counseling room for individual support, there is already an established foundation of trust. How does she manage the logistics of individual sessions Colleen typically meets with students once a week for six weeks for approximately 20 minutes. She administers a pre-assessment during the first session and a post-assessment during the final session to measure growth and progress. A day in the life Colleen works with students in grades K through 8 on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays. She is available on Mondays primarily for crisis response. She teaches Social Emotional Learning lessons in 40 minute blocks for each classroom and schedules individual sessions as needed. When she is not teaching or counseling, she supervises lunch and recess or plans future lessons and school events. Advice for new school counselors Find a mentor you trust. Prioritize self-care. Join a cohort or a community such as IMPACT so you have support and resources readily available to make your job feel more manageable. As Colleen says, overdose on self-care so you can do your job most effectively! Do not forget, today and tomorrow I am hosting a free live training on how to enhance your individual counseling sessions and begin collecting meaningful data so you can feel confident and valued in your role. You will walk away with practical engagement strategies and simple data tracking tools you can start using right away.   Resources Mentioned: Individual Counseling LIVE Training Connect with Rachel: TpT Store Blog Instagram Facebook Page Facebook Group Pinterest Youtube   More About School Counseling Simplified: School Counseling Simplified is a podcast offering easy to implement strategies for busy school counselors.

Introduction“A woman without a man is like a fish without a bicycle.” — Irina Dunn, 1970I heard about the movement of decentering men on TikTok. With zero expectations, I decided to try it out for a month. It was October 2025. I was sick of dating apps and about to publish my second book. I'd been single for three years, but this was something different. I'm here to tell you everything about it and share all the reasons why I'm never going back.I wrote this article to give us, women, a blueprint for how to be the main character in our own lives. Our mothers and grandmothers couldn't teach us this; they depended on men (financially) to survive, and had to center them accordingly. This article is not about hating men; it's about unlearning the ways that the patriarchy has trained us to prioritize making men happy. This pressure comes just as much from the women in our lives (aunties, influencers, our mother), as from men. After all, it was my mother who let my brother get away with never doing the dishes after dinner.Starting this process for the first time scared me. I was worried that if I stopped trying to date men, I was giving up on my dream of becoming a mother. Yet as I began to decenter men, I realized that my idea of motherhood was purely a fantasy. Facing the reality of motherhood, those statistics scared me much more. In this article, I will cover everything I've learned from the internet, economists, and my own experience, so that you can decide whether decentering men and trying it for a month to start is right for you. Let's begin!

Welcome to today's ICYMI, where we kick off the week with a quick game-changing tip from one of our guests that you might have missed.  Your to-do list Is lying to you… not everything is urgent, and productivity isn't about doing more. It's about doing what matters most. As Greg McKeown says: “When you prioritize the important over the urgent, you don't just get more done, you get the right things done.” And that's the difference between a busy life and a meaningful one. We're throwing it back to 3 practical steps to master prioritization using principles from productivity minimalism and Essentialism. We cover the Law of Inverse Prioritization, and effective decision-making questions to filter every task and commitment. Listen to our full episode here.

Episode 256: When Everything Feels Urgent: A Smarter Way to Prioritize In this episode, Dr. Janel Anderson tackles the challenge of prioritizing work when everything feels urgent, especially for new technical managers. She explains how sudden increases in cognitive load can lead to overwhelm and reactivity, rather than true prioritization. Drawing on user experience thinking and executive coaching frameworks, she introduces the Eisenhower Matrix as a practical tool for managing workload, distinguishing urgency from importance, and reducing mental clutter. Listeners will find actionable strategies to move beyond constant firefighting, focus on high-impact tasks, and create the “white space” essential for effective leadership and proactive management.Find show notes at https://janelanderson.com/256

Listen to today's podcast... We never seem to be able to find ‘the time'.  Stop looking.  You will never find it.  It isn't lost.  You are living in it. So what kinds of things waste our time? 44.7% of the more than 10,000 people polled cited personal internet use as their #1 distraction at work. Today's Time Truth: If we fail to control the events in our life, then the events in our life will control us. Planning is key to performance. Not planning wastes time and energy. According to one survey the average worker admits to wasting away 2.09 hours per 8-hour workday, which is twice as much time as their employers expect. Take One Action Today To Build Your #Resiliency!      So Here are today's Tips For Building Resiliency and Celebrating National Time Management Month: Eliminate useless meetings. Insist on short, well-planned, morning stand-up meetings. They are the least likely to waste your time and interfere with your work. Stop thinking that you can multi-task. Prioritize and then break up your day accordingly. Don't move on to the next task until you've really completed the previous one. Not only will you do a better job when you're focused, you'll also force yourself to finish something within the time allotted. Come up for air. Productivity declines after a certain period, so pump up your productivity with scheduled breaks.

Welcome to Episode 159 of Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing Welcome to Episode #159 of “Praestabilis: Excellence in Marketing” In this episode,the topic is “Artificial Intelligence: Have You Embraced This Tool?” I love AI and began learning how to use it at the beginning of 2023. Many people are fearful of AI and imagine that it will be negative for the world. Now I write books and create courses using artificial intelligence and can’t imagine living without it. Where do you stand on this topic that has become so controversial? Would you be open to me interviewing you about this? I am sharing a live session of my “Really Simple Authority Blogging” ongoing training course with you and know you will benefit from the marketing strategies I am sharing and teaching here. Be sure to connect with me at https://ConnieRagenGreen.com or on X at https://x.com/ConnieGreen so I may serve you in the areas where my help could make a huge difference in your results. I’m going to share with you how much fun I’m having with creating simple courses using AI (Artificial Intelligence) in about 30 minutes. I know you can do the same thing. Keep it simple, and add the short course you create to a page on your existing website/blog. In this episode I’m discussing how to use keywords and search engine optimization (SEO) to grow your business. Your prospects and future clients, customers, and colleagues are waiting to connect with you, but if they can’t find you online it will never happen. Make it simple for your target audience to find you by using the keywords and phrases they are most likely to be searching for on Google, Bing, and the other search engines. The Power and Gift of Change”- We are all changing throughout each day, and I think we must embrace this change in order to grow and move forward. Changing can take many forms, and if you look back through your life you will come to understand that you are not the same person you were even a year ago. Here is a quote about this you may resonate with… “Growth lives outside the comfort zone. If it feels uncomfortable, you’re probably doing it right.” ~ Marie Forleo I believe that our businesses are based on the concept of serving others. When you start on online (or even a brick and mortar) business, your goal is to serve others with what you know and to benefit in multiple ways, including by earning an excellent income. I’m sharing several examples in this podcast about my own and experiences with clients over the years. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ This morning I was reading the message written by outgoing Surgeon General Dr. Vivek Murthy. In it, he stated that his “parting prescription” for the American people is to cultivate a strong sense of community to help themselves and others. He added, “Relationships, service, and purpose are the time-tested triad of fulfillment that stands in contrast to wealth, fame, and power which define the modern-day triad of success.” Here are some other questions I want you to ask yourself: What is your commitment to yourself and to others close to you? Why are you focused on the things that are taking up your time? When will you begin to focus on goals that will allow you to create and leave a legacy? Whom do you trust to get you there? Perhaps my “Monthly Mentoring Program” is right for you. Motivation and Inspiration: What It Takes to Get Your Spark Back” During 2024 I went through a period where I wasn’t as motivated as I had been accustomed to being for many years. This gave me time to explore why I was feeling this way and to hopefully learn something that would help others. My inspiration to do all of the things I love in my business, including writing, creating, marketing, and mentoring was waning and I wasn’t sure why. Within a couple of months I was back on track and this is what I learned… Life isn’t easy, but then it isn’t supposed to be. Being challenged in so many ways on a regular basis makes us stronger and perhaps more appreciative and grateful for what we already have and what we know we can achieve if we believe in ourselves and have even one other person who knows we are special and tells us that as often as possible. Marie Forleo wrote a book titled “Everything Is Figureoutable” – https://ConnieLoves.me/FigureOutAble – Her precept is that if you’re having trouble solving a problem or reaching a dream, the problem isn’t you. It’s that you haven’t yet installed the one belief that changes everything. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com and want to hear from you on this topic, or on anything else. “Merging Your Life with Your Business” as a strategy. We aren’t creating a business we need a vacation from. Instead, we’re creating a “lifestyle by design” where we have the time and financial freedom to live in a way that few people are able to, and with choices around everything we do. If you’ve met me in person, heard me on my podcast, or read any of my books, you know that I am a very positive person. No matter what situation or circumstances arises, I truly believe there will always be a positive outcome on the horizon, and sooner rather than later. But I wasn’t always this way. This is a journey that continues… My first year online was 2006, and very quickly I connected with people I’m still part of a Mastermind with in Austin, Texas. I was invited to speak at an event there a couple of years later. It was hosted by Joe Vitale and Mendhi Audlin was also there. She shared a concept she had come up with that she calls “What If… UP!” The premise is that there is truly a silver lining in everything negative that occurs. I liken this to Newton’s Third Law of Motion: For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. My precept and general rule for life is that we can achieve anything we want and feel that we deserve. Others want to help us to achieve our goals, but many times we get in their way by telling ourselves stories that aren’t true. Mendhi’s precept aligns with mine, and a year or so after I first met her she published a book on this… “What If It All Goes Right?: Creating a New World of Peace, Prosperity & Possibility” by Mendhi Audlin reveals the secret to turning possibilities into a tangible reality. It works! https://ConnieLoves.me/WhatIfUp I’m discussing the importance of being willing to “Better Your Best” during this new year, as well as recommending that this be the year you finally embrace AI – Artificial Intelligence – for your business. I have been a student of and someone who uses AI almost daily since February of 2022, and I’m learning from experts Andy O”Bryan and Denise Wakeman in their ongoing AI Success Club. Asking “How Are You Defining Success?” Creating a business as an entrepreneur allows you to live a lifestyle by design, with both time freedom and financial freedom. Think about how you want to live each day and then take action to make it happen. Over the years I’ve changed many things, while others have remained the same. Instead of making changes just for the sake of change, think about what you could change up and what makes sense to remain at least mostly the same. Years ago, I used to put together my blog posts on a single topic, like copywriting or list building or creation digital products into a simple document that I referred to as a ‘Focus Guide’ and gave them away to my list and to my prospects. Each of these documents contained resources and an ‘About the Author’ page that helped me to build my credibility, visibility, and profitability. For the first time ever, I am recommending that you write a book about yourself, your niche topic, and how you serve others. I first did this in 2009 and now I have written and published twenty-eight full-length, non-fiction books on the topics of entrepreneurship, personal, development, and authorship. Life can be messy. Are their ways you can keep moving forward when your personal life is turning upside down? Yes! Finding joy in helping and serving others, as well as compartmentalizing what is currently going on in your life are just two of the ways to deal with change and situations outside of your control. I recommend that you choose two social media platforms to use for the sole purpose of helping your prospects find and connect with you online. My favorite is X – formerly known as Twitter, and I also use LinkedIn and YouTube as my favorite social media sites to grow my business. Please connect with me on these sites and let me know how I may best serve you as you build and grow your profitable business. Is your list of what you are willing to do longer than your list of what you don’t want to do? I recommend a mile-long “to-do” list and a daily schedule of no more than four things that you will work on each day in your business. Find a mentor who believes in you and get started with creating a lifestyle by design that you want and deserve. I’m recommending James Clear’s “Atomic Habits” – https://ConnieLoves.me/AtomicHabits – as a book to help you alleviate your fears. We all have hopes, dreams, goals, and fears regarding our life experiences. I have found that if we build up our confidence and have faith that everything will turn out in a way that will be beneficial to all, we can continue to move forward without negative effects. Having an online business requires confidence. These are some questions to ask yourself: Who will you serve? What are your prospects pain points? What’s your idea? How will it be created, and then delivered? How will you sell it online? Creating a simple product or online course is the beginning of living a lifestyle by design. Reach out to me any time at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you’d like to know more about getting started as an online entrepreneur. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ My first online course back in 2006 was a simple one with three audio trainings and a workbook. Then, I began creating more sophisticated, but not more complicated courses. I’ve used the “Really Simple” branding for many courses at least 25 times, as well as using other terms and phrases based on the keywords I am optimizing for with each new course. Having your own online course on a topic you want to become known for will give you leverage to grow your business exponentially over time. It’s interesting to me that we as humans sometimes take things for granted that later on we know we should have appreciated in the moment. What I’m referring to here is having an online business you can run from home, or from anywhere in the world. There’s a window of opportunity that isn’t always open, and right now this window is wide open to everyone. A lot of it depends upon economic factors. I almost went back to graduate school two years ago to study economics, but decided against it because of the film and television writing I’m pursuing, but that’s a story for another time. Someone I work closely with had posted this quote from Richard Branson the other day: “Business opportunities are like buses, there’s always another one coming.” This does NOT apply to online business, but instead refers to starting a physical, brick and mortar business. I know several people in both of my cities who borrowed against their homes, cashed out retirement savings, and sold family heirlooms to start businesses in the community, only to go bankrupt a couple of years later. What I’m saying here is that this is the time to get your online business off the ground and up and running profitably. It’s so inexpensive in comparison, and the biggest expense I incur is what I pay mentors to guide me in the right direction. Yes, I still have a mentor and recommend you do as well. This isn’t coaching, but instead a personal relationship you’ll build over time that could lead to strategic alliance partnerships and lifelong friendships. I’m at conniegreenhouse at yahoo dot com if you want to know more about mentoring with me. The four widely accepted learning modalities (or modes) are known by the acronym VARK: Visual, Auditory, Reading/Writing, Kinesthetic. They are sometimes inaccurately referred to as “learning styles” which implies that each learner has a “style” of learning that should be maximized in all learning situations. Focusing on consistency, productivity, and creativity makes sense for all online entrepreneurs in 2024. I’m also sharing some effective and time-proven strategies with you here that will make a difference in your business, as well as in your personal life experience. Each day I focus on writing, creating, marketing, and teaching/learning/mentoring. My writing began as short and simple blog posts and blossomed into more than twenty-five full-length books. My writing is my oeuvre, my body of work that is my legacy to family, friends, colleagues, and those who follow me. During 2023 I wrote and published more than 400 thousand words. This breaks down to one full-length book, Self-Directed: Inspire, Motivate, and Empower Yourself to the Greatness That Lies Within; the current book on marketing that is more than halfway written; 8 short reports on topics of interest to the people I work with online; one hundred thirty-eight blog posts on three different blogs I maintain; and 382 email messages to my online community. These are  practical strategies for effective time management, emphasizing the importance of creating a balance between work and personal life. Achieving work-life harmony requires effective time management strategies that allow you to balance professional and personal responsibilities. Here are some strategies to help you manage your time more efficiently: 1. Set Clear Priorities: Identify your most important tasks and priorities for both work and personal life. Focus on what truly matters and allocate time accordingly. 2. Use a Time Management System: Choose a time management system that works for you, whether it’s a digital tool like Todoist or Trello, or a physical planner. Organize tasks, set deadlines, and track your progress. Schedules vs To-Do Lists 3. Prioritize Tasks with the Eisenhower Matrix: Categorize tasks into four quadrants: urgent and important, important but not urgent, urgent but not important, and neither urgent nor important. Prioritize tasks based on these categories. 4. Batch Similar Tasks: Group similar tasks together and tackle them during specific time blocks. This reduces the mental load of switching between different types of activities. 5. Time Blocking: Allocate specific blocks of time to different activities. This includes work tasks, personal commitments, and breaks. Stick to the schedule as much as possible. 6. Learn to Say No: Be selective about taking on new commitments. Saying no when necessary helps you avoid over-committing and allows you to focus on your existing priorities. 7. Delegate When Possible: Delegate tasks that others can handle. This applies to both professional and personal responsibilities. It’s okay to ask for help. 8. Practice the Two-Minute Rule: If a task takes less than two minutes, do it immediately. This prevents small tasks from piling up and becoming overwhelming. 9. Limit Multitasking: Focus on one task at a time. Multitasking can reduce efficiency and increase stress. Complete one task before moving on to the next. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ You’re starting a conversation with your emails, and building a relationship with your prospects, customers, and clients over time. I’ve been online as an entrepreneur, marketer, and writer since 2006, and while much has changed, I believe that more has remained the same. Here, I’m discussing how we marketed in those early days, and why email marketing still remains top of mind. Most recently, I’ve co-hosted an Advanced Email Marketing Conference with Ellen Finkelstein. In April of 2023, I hosted my latest live marketing event in Los Angeles, and more recently I’ve hosted my Santa Barbara Retreat for those I mentor and teach. But like everyone else, I began by attending live events, and eventually virtual events in order to find my voice, connect with other like-minded people, and learn more about building and growing my online business. Guerilla marketing is a way to drive publicity and, as a result, brand awareness by promoting using unconventional methods designed to evoke surprise, wonder, or shock. Guerrilla marketing is the creating use of novel or unconventional methods in order to boost sales or attract interest in a brand or business. These methods are often low- or no-cost and involve the widespread use of more personal interactions or through viral social media messaging. This marketing method has increased in popularity with the rise of ubiquitous mobile and connected technologies that can amplify messaging and focus on target groups of consumers. Some consumers may be more attracted by guerrilla marketing campaigns as they may be more interesting and daring, while others may be turned off because of the perceived “disruptive” aspects of this style of marketing.

I’ve been online since 2006 and now help others all over the world to do the same or something similar. We all have times where we are feeling a little down, lost, or confused. Life isn’t easy, and no one makes it out alive! These are my recommendations for how to get back on track and feeling more happy and optimistic about your future… Write! Whether you’re already a writer or are just beginning to think about sharing your thoughts, ideas, and experiences with others, writing makes sense. I write every single day and publish much of my writing as blog posts, short reports, and full-length books. Writing opens your mind to what you want in the future, by allowing you to explore the past through your memories. You can also retell and reframe your stories in a way that will serve you going forward. Start a new project! I usually create products and courses as new projects, but this can also manifest as something you build or create with your hands. I have family members on two continents that love to put together complex jigsaw puzzles. They look forward to these as a new project on a regular basis. Volunteer! Before I started my online business, I promised myself I would volunteer my time and donate money to charitable causes… as soon as I had the time and the money to do so. Once I had my own business, I realized that I had some time and a little money to do this all along. Spend time with new people! As a part of the volunteering I now do regularly, I’ve spent time with very young children, veterans, women starting over after being in a domestic violence situation, and more. This work continues to make a difference in my life. As you can see, there are many ways to get back to your “Why?” and I hope this has been helpful to you. What’s the best niche topic to cover in your blog? I know you don’t what to hear me say “It depends.” so I won’t. Lean in, and I’ll share the very best niche for you, and it’s one that is also the most profitable, will feel more like you’re just having fun, will never go out of style, and will be the one that has absolutely zero competition. Which niche topic and target audience could it possibly be? I won’t keep you in suspense any longer. I learned when I began online 17 years ago that the best niche for anyone is the one that makes your heart sing and is probably a topic you take for granted. I had been teaching school for twenty years and my students were mostly Spanish and Tagalog native speakers. I told them if they wrote just a few sentences every single day – weekends, holidays, and school breaks included – their writing would improve. Those who followed my advice excelled, while those who didn’t floundered. During all those years, I seldom wrote anything unless it was required for my work as a teacher or for my part-time work in real estate. Fast forward to 2006, and I realized not only that I needed to write in order to succeed online, but also that what I’d done with my students would apply here as well. My niche for the next eighteen months was around helping others to write, publish, market, and sell eBooks. I wrote one on real estate farming – choosing and area close to home to connect with people who may need your services – as an example and sold it on my website. Back then, you had to sell eBooks on your own websites, as Amazon had not yet entered the world of self-publishing. My niche and website became “eBook writing and marketing secrets” and this topic took me to six figures. I was learning right along with the people who were learning and buying from me. I then moved that site over to https://ConnieRagenGreen.com to make a name for myself and to branch out to other topics. The bottom line is that you must begin by sharing what you already know something about and love. Blogging is the direct path to the visibility, credibility, and profitability you wish to have in your business. In my business, every idea begins as a blog post. This is where I think and research and brainstorm what’s on my mind in the very beginning. The blog post is ground zero for what could, and many times does become a product, course or program. Blog posts, while based on your idea, can be created with original content, private label (PLR) rights content, guest content, or curated content. While I immediately share my published posts on social media as “micro content” you’ll want to wait at least 24 hours before syndicating your content on Medium. I also teach this syndication strategy in my popular and ongoing Syndication Optimization training program. Next up in your content creation and content marketing strategy is a short report, which you may sell online or give away as a lead magnet. I teach all of this in my Really Simple Short Reports training. This is what we refer to as “cornerstone” content that is extremely valuable. The final step is creating “authority content” by publishing your writing as a Kindle or paperback book to increase your visibility and build your reputation as an expert on your topic. I typically discuss time management and productivity in regards to entrepreneurs, marketers, and authors, and I’ve even co-authored a bestselling book on this topic, entitled “Time Management Strategies for Entrepreneurs: How to Manage Your Time to Increase Your Bottom Line” where we outline in great details the steps you may take to reach a level of optimal productivity and time management as an entrepreneur. But what about everyone else? Doesn’t every person deserve to live the lifestyle they want and deserve, where they enjoy financial freedom and the time to enjoy every moment to the fullest? Of course they do, and that’s what I’m sharing during this podcast. When I began online as a new entrepreneur in 2006, I realized immediately I would need help with technology and graphics, as these were the areas where I had no experience or talent. I bartered for these services for the first year or so, and then began to put together a team of people to support me so my business could grow. When I look back over my lifetime, I see that I have always had a team supporting me, whether it was while I worked as a classroom teacher, or in real estate as a broker and residential appraiser. Even while I was growing up, I was surrounded by people who supported me, from family, friends and neighbors to teachers, clergy, and people in the community. Put together your team and watch your business grow exponentially! When it comes to your visibility as an entrepreneur, where may we find you to see what you’re doing? This expert status comes from your writing, videos and audios, and your social media presence on the most active platforms for your target audience. My three popular and active blogs are at ConnieRagenGreen.com, HugeProfitsTinyList.com, and at MondayMorningMellow.com. Credibility is about what you already know and what you are learning. We all started our online businesses as adults, so we brought our knowledge and experiences with us. It made sense for me to help people write, market, and publish eBooks in the beginning, because I had worked as a classroom teacher for twenty years prior to coming online, and was learning about marketing and self-publishing. Profitability means that you must ask “What’s for sale?” every day in your business. Create your own simple products and courses, recommend others with affiliate marketing, and look into buying the resale rights to sell other people’s products as your own like I continue to do in my own business. The final part of this information on your expert status as an entrepreneur includes productivity, consistency, and attention to detail. Get everything in place as quickly as possible, and your online business is sure to grow exponentially! During my first couple of years online, beginning in 2007 I connected with mentors Alex Mandossian and Raymond Aaron. When I inquired as to what they were doing together as strategic alliance partners, they gave me a brief explanation and told me that I was not yet ready to move up to this level. Over the next two years they helped me to grow and elevate my business and my mindset as an online entrepreneur so that I could connect with others in this way. Seek out the people and groups you wish to be involved with and show them that you have moved past tactics and on to strategies. It will make all the difference and as you uplevel everything you’re doing online in your business, your free time and disposable income will increase exponentially! When I work with people in my Incubator Mastermind Mentoring program, the goal is to move them into position to become a strategic alliance partner with me and others to share their message in a bigger way. WHY did you choose the career you started your working life with? WHY did you get married, have children, and move into your first home? WHY did you make the conscious decision to leave your career at some point and start your business? WHY do you want to be an author or entrepreneur, or coach? WHY do you get up every single day and do the work required to become more successful on an ongoing basis? Everyone must have a WHY and there are no right or wrong answers here. But if you find yourself unmotivated to work or if you find yourself procrastinating on projects, then it's time to re-examine the main reason for your business. Name Your Reason – or Your WHY – for Starting a Business Focusing on your WHY can help motivate you, so write down your reason for starting a business on a regular basis. Did you want to fill your free time? Did you want to earn some play money or contribute to the family finances? Did you want to pay the medical bills of an aging parent or a sick child? Did you want to pay for your child's higher education or private school tuition? In my case, my answer to “what's your why?” was always around having enough income to live life on my terms. Over time, I came to the realization that every choice I was making, and each time I could not do something that had meaning for me, was all related to me needing to earn a paycheck or a commission from the classroom teaching and real estate work I was involved with each day. I missed just about every family event, vacation, and other activities because I was working 60 or more hours a week in order to cover my bills and other expenses. I wasn't angry or resentful because I believed that I didn't deserve to have a better life during those decades. This all changed in 2005 when I began reading books and attending events based on self improvement and personal development principles. Writing these reasons down – no matter what they are because every person's WHY will be different – should help motivate you to work hard. You should feel driven to make your business a success. You should be willing to tackle things outside your comfort zone because you know the end result will help your business. If you're not feeling motivated, then you need to dig deeper. I worked closely with a woman who was struggling to make her online business become profitable, and she continued to tell me that she had no problems or struggles in her life, currently or during her younger years. Then, one day she told me about her granddaughter who had passed away at age twelve and the floodgates opened. We got to the bottom of things, she discovered her why, and her business grew by leaps and bounds, almost overnight! Be Open and Willing to Examine Your Inner Feelings Life is fluid and ever-changing so it stands to reason that your WHY would change over time as well. Even if you started your business because you didn't know what to do once your kids were in full day school, you can change that WHY to something more meaningful now. A mentor once shared with me that she started a service business because she was a single mom and needed to earn money to survive. She was responsible for lodging, food, and clothing for herself and her child. She didn't have anyone to rely on except herself. THIS is enough to make you cry and to hustle for work, knowing that if she wasn't working, she wasn't eating. What are you passionate about that will get you hustling? Are you passionate about a cause or charity that can benefit from your financial assistance? Do you need to pull yourself up out of financial despair? Don't be afraid to own that reason and fight for your business. This is how you will continue to get closer to understanding and recognizing the answer to “what's your why?” Don't be Afraid to Switch Business Gears to Discover Your “Why” One of my mentees admitted to me early on that even though she has been in a service business for over ten years, that she hadn't been motivated to create any classes or products as a source of passive income. She blamed her indecision on a lack of new ideas and a feeling and belief that everything she knew had already been said and done, but I questioned if it was because she didn't feel attached to her particular niche of online marketing. After some more discussion, she agreed and has since modified her services that align better with what she enjoys. I still suggested that she explore a deeper WHY but this is a step in the right direction. Plenty of businesses add or subtract products or services or modify their mission statement. If something about your business doesn't feel right, don't be afraid to make changes. I'm bestselling author and online entrepreneur Connie Ragen Green, and now I can confidently answer the question “What's your why?” with enthusiasm and conviction. My “why” is around the concept of helping others to achieve their goals and dreams with writing and having a profitable online business so they may follow their dreams and passions without having to do work that doesn't make their heart sing or worry about meeting all of their financial obligations with grace and ease. You can double your productivity and be success with a business, or with anything you choose to accomplish in your life, if you are willing to implement what you learn and take decisive action on a consistent basis. Many people come to me to learn how to successful and profitable as an online entrepreneur. But some of them end up saying “I already know that” and moving on to something else. I know that I am able to do more than I ever thought would be possible in my life because I am willing to learn, implement, course correct, ask questions, take massive action and keep moving forward with consistency. Others may be smarter or more knowledgeable, but if they hesitate to take action they will not achieve the results they are hoping for in their business or with anything else. As long as you are specific and intentional with what you want to achieve, you can do it all as an entrepreneur, just not all at once. And we must throw perfection out the window. I have a new saying… The more perfecter your goal, the less purfeckt your results. “Everything we do in our lives is preparing us for something that will arise in the future, even though we don’t yet know what that will be.” ~ Connie Ragen Green Our stories are the fabric of our life. A story sets you apart from everyone else, makes you unique and memorable, and is all you have when it's all said and done. When I was a young child a neighbor girl, seven or eight years old at the time, interrupted my mother in the middle of a story she was telling to ask, “Why do you have so many stories?” My mother hardly skipped a beat, informing the girl that “You'll have stories too, when you get older.” On that evening a part of me became a storyteller in training. Sure enough, it wasn't long before I was telling stories about everything from what I did in school that day to what happened in the neighborhood. I wore my storyteller's hat with pride and now I see that this one aspect of my life was preparing me for what I now do in my business and derive great joy from every single day. The word “praestabilis” is from the Latin and means outstanding, excellent, and extraordinary and this is the goal for you as you make your way in the online world. It took me until age 50 to step into the light and live an empowered life. I achieved this by leaving a job – classroom teaching – and a career as a real estate broker and appraiser to come online as an entrepreneur. I have no regrets about waiting so long, as everything unfolds once we are open to receiving it. There are three top strategies to help you move closer to an empowered life and they include… Writing – Every day, I want you to write! This includes blog posts, outlines, emails to your prospects, clients, and potential joint venture partners. Also, write short reports and white papers to show others who you are and what you know. Finally, write a book to solidify your expertise in your niche, and follow that up with additional books over time. Writing is crucial to our process of standing out from the crowd by sharing what we know and believe. Reach out to me if you’re interested in coming aboard for my “10 Week Author” program.

Brian Whorley, Founder and CEO of Paytient, is rebuilding healthcare's broken payment infrastructure. Paytient enables employers and insurers to front healthcare costs for members who repay over time, interest-free. The company now serves 6,000 employers and powers payment solutions for nearly half of America's 50 million Medicare seniors. In this episode of BUILDERS, Brian reveals his counterintuitive GTM pivot from employers to insurers, why he testified before Congress on healthcare affordability, and how to build in highly regulated markets without fighting the system. Topics Discussed: Why healthcare lacks functional buyer-seller dynamics and transparent pricing The World War II tax quirk that prevents employers from giving healthcare dollars directly to employees Cash market case studies: Why LASIK prices decreased in real terms since 1998 while maintaining quality improvements Paytient's unexpected discovery that insurers were better strategic partners than employers Congressional testimony before the House Committee of Oversight and Government Reform on December 10th The company's evolution from founder-led employer sales to insurance-first distribution strategy Launching self-serve for sub-200 employee companies while closing Fortune 100 accounts How Medicare regulations requiring prescription payment flexibility created a 50-million-person market GTM Lessons For B2B Founders: Test enterprise distribution earlier than your assumptions suggest: Brian assumed Paytient needed a million users before insurers would engage. Instead, one of the nation's largest insurers partnered early because they recognized out-of-pocket costs as a critical experience gap they couldn't solve internally. The insurer's product team understood the problem but lacked control over member finances. When building in complex ecosystems, large strategic partners may engage earlier than expected if you solve a problem outside their core capabilities. Prioritize partners with longer planning horizons: Brian discovered insurers planning 2027-2029 health plans in early 2025, while employers focused on last month's challenges. This planning horizon difference fundamentally changed Paytient's GTM strategy. Insurers became the majority of their business because they could "invest and reshape for the long term" as part of broader strategy. When choosing between customer segments, prioritize buyers who think strategically over those managing tactical, short-term needs—they'll invest in solutions before acute pain points emerge. Regulatory tailwinds can create massive distribution overnight: A law passed four years after Paytient launched required all Medicare insurers to offer exactly what Paytient provides—prescription cost flexibility with insurer-fronted payments. This regulation instantly created a 50-million-person addressable market. Brian now powers this for "almost half the country." When building in regulated industries, track pending legislation that could mandate your solution category, creating instant distribution through compliance requirements. Build different GTM engines for concentrated vs. fragmented markets: Healthcare is "a very concentrated industry" at the top 40 insurers, where Paytient focuses enterprise efforts. For the fragmented small business market (under 200 employees), they launched a self-serve platform at patient.com this month, immediately gaining traction with venture-backed employers seeking simple subscriptions. The dual-motion approach—high-touch for concentrated markets, self-serve for long-tail—maximizes coverage without burning capital on inefficient sales motions. In trust-based sales, delivery quality drives expansion velocity: When Paytient launches with a Fortune 100, "tens of thousands of people have access to patient now." The benefits stack is "sacred and sacrosanct"—a trust-based, relationship-driven sale. Brian emphasizes the product must work "exactly how you said, even better" because performance creates referrals through benefit brokers and consultants. In high-stakes enterprise deployments, your product quality directly determines sales velocity through partner and customer networks. Navigate regulatory constraints as creative boundaries, not barriers: Brian's core advice for healthcare founders: "You have to work with the system as it is." Many founders approach healthcare "as antagonist" with solutions "too foreign or too different" that threaten the status quo. Instead, innovate within existing regulatory and operational frameworks. There are "plenty of space" and "data requirements for how healthcare can work today" to build billion-dollar businesses while respecting industry structure. Fighting the system guarantees slow adoption; working within it enables scale. // Sponsors: Front Lines — We help B2B tech companies launch, manage, and grow podcasts that drive demand, awareness, and thought leadership. www.FrontLines.io The Global Talent Co. — We help tech startups find, vet, hire, pay, and retain amazing marketing talent that costs 50-70% less than the US & Europe. www.GlobalTalent.co // Don't Miss: New Podcast Series — How I Hire Senior GTM leaders share the tactical hiring frameworks they use to build winning revenue teams.

Today Eric argues that a company's primary challenge is not marketing or pricing, but rather the quality of its people. Drawing on leadership principles from Natalie Dawson, he describes a rigorous behavioral filtering process used at a recent job fair to identify high-performance candidates. Triplet emphasizes that technical skills are secondary to cultural alignment, noting that he disqualified the majority of applicants for failing to research the company or demonstrating poor professional etiquette. By treating teamwork as a filter rather than a feeling, he asserts that elite teams are built through high standards and high-volume interviewing.  Key Takeaways: Research the company thoroughly before any interview to demonstrate your commitment and alignment with their mission. Prioritize character and behavior over technical skills when building a team, as technical gaps are often easier to train than poor attitudes. Pay close attention to small details and habits, such as punctuality and how you conduct yourself in public, because they reflect your overall work ethic. Increase your volume of interactions and interviews to ensure you are selecting elite performers rather than simply filling a position with a warm body. Be specific about your goals and expectations to show that you are a decisive individual with a clear sense of direction and purpose.

Initial impressions of a new city are distorted by jet lag, disorientation, and comparison to where you just left. Give a place at least two to three weeks before deciding how you feel about it. ∙ Have connectivity before you land. Get an eSIM (Airalo, Holafly, etc.) sorted before arrival. You'll need it for navigation, translation, and emergency communication — not later, immediately. ∙ Slow down more than you think you should. One-month minimums transform a place from a sightseeing checklist into somewhere you actually live. That's when the real experience starts. Three months is even better. ∙ Build routines within 48 hours. Find your workspace, gym, coffee spot, and morning rhythm fast. Freedom without structure turns into aimless drift and anxiety. Routine is what makes the lifestyle sustainable. ∙ Make your banking bulletproof. Get a no-foreign-fee, ATM-reimbursing account like Schwab or Wise. Always carry a backup card on a different network in a separate bag. Getting locked out of money abroad happens to everyone. ∙ Learn three meals you can cook anywhere. Eating out every meal for months wrecks your budget and your health. A stir-fry, a grain bowl, and eggs-with-whatever using local ingredients will save you thousands a year. ∙ Handle your taxes proactively. Your home country likely still wants its money, especially if you're American. FEIE, self-employment tax, state residency — get an expat-specialized tax professional before there's a problem. ∙ Prioritize sleep gear over everything else. Noise-canceling headphones, silicone earplugs, and a solid sleep mask matter more than any backpack or gadget. Your ability to sleep anywhere determines your quality of life on the road. ∙ The loneliness comes in waves — plan for it. It's not an if, it's a when. Schedule regular calls with close friends, use coworking spaces, join group activities. Don't pretend you're above needing human connection. ∙ Know your monthly burn rate. Track what you actually spend across different tiers of city. Knowing how long you can sustain your current pace is the difference between freedom and quiet financial panic.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​ #travel #travelblogger #nomad #digitalnomad #podcast #solotravel

Adam, Joanna, and Zach respond to a listener question about urban wineries and tasting rooms. Do consumers care that much about the traditional winery aesthetics, being in the vineyard, or even going to wine country? Can being closer to your audience and being able to offer a more varied experience make up for losing that sense of pastoral beauty?

Grant Paulsen and Logan Paulsen dive into the Should Commanders Pursue Brandon Aiyuk Or Prioritize A Tight End In Free Agency? in an action-packed episode of the pod. The Commanders offseason keeps rolling on and we are continuing to talk ball as free agency and the draft move closer and closer... the boys are back to breakdown Logan's obsessive commitment to watching film, the bizarre hatred for analytics in football, Jayden's comments on his past Arizona State teammates, whether or not they'd be comfortable with a Brandon Aiyuk pursuit, the need for a tight end this offseason, and more. Find out all that and more on this episode of Take Command!

Men are expected to provide. To protect. To lead. To carry. We show up for our families, our jobs, our communities — but rarely stop to ask who is showing up for us. What happens when the caretaker never gets cared for? This episode dives into the emotional weight men carry silently. The pressure to be strong. The expectation to suppress. The guilt that comes with taking time for yourself. We talk about burnout, isolation, and the quiet reality that many men feel exhausted but don't feel allowed to say it out loud. This is a vulnerable conversation about responsibility, rest, and redefining strength. Because taking care of everyone else shouldn't mean losing yourself.
