Most owners don't think about IT until something fails and by then, the damage is already done. In this episode, Chris Sirianni (IT Insights of Rochester / GRC Insights) explains why reactive technology decisions quietly drain profit, erode trust, and put your data (and revenue) at risk. He lays out a practical, owner-friendly approach to treating IT as business continuity, not just “tech support,” so you can prevent fires instead of paying for clean-up.In this episode, you'll learn:The real cost of waiting: why “we'll fix it when it breaks” is so expensiveHidden risk, real consequences: how reactive decisions don't show up on the P&L until it's too lateBefore the breach: why most cybersecurity failures start long before an incidentContinuity > break/fix: how to run IT like an insurance policy for revenue and operationsEarly warning signs: subtle system failures owners ignore (and how to spot them)Proactive protection: planning that safeguards cash flow, reputation, and customer trustBetter questions, better outcomes: what to ask your IT provider that most owners never do
In our final episode of 2025, we spoke with Dr. Doug Bolton about innovative solutions for students experiencing dysregulation. We received a lot of feedback on that episode and had already planned a follow-up episode about the shift in perspective we are seeing in student behavior. We are thrilled to welcome him back to learn from him about student behavior and regulation. Join us for another conversation with Dr. Bolton!Dr. Doug Bolton is a clinical psychologist who has always been drawn to working with kids who experience behavioral problems. Knowing that being in schools gives him the best vantage point from which to help kids, Doug became a school psychologist and later a principal at a therapeutic school. He is currently a consultant working with families to help vulnerable kids become more resilient. From his unique perspective and extensive experience, he wrote the book Untethered.Show Highlights:Recognizing rhythms to the school year, especially as a new semester beginsThe correlation between mental health issues and the school year (for students AND teachers)Our system is stressing everyone out because of the over-focus on test scores.A focus on test scores makes us lose the connective tissue of learning and community.Our best learning requires emotional regulation and connection in relationships.What we know about deep learning and where it happensThe value of a teacher who is willing to put ego aside and TRY to implement the IEP accommodations for a studentBrain breaks are essential for emotional regulation.Music, art, recess, and vocational planning are brain breaks that help decrease stress hormones.Proactive breaks vs. reactive breaks (Not all breaks are equal!)Being curious about misbehavior (“Misbehavior is stress behavior.”)Disruptive students are dysregulated students.Key takeaways from Dr. Bolton about the power of belonging, connected relationships, and emotional regulationConnect with us on social media with your questions for Dr. Bolton for a future episode!Resources:Connect with Dr. Doug Bolton: Website and

Dr Iyengar is an associate professor in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology and co-director of Breast Medical Oncology in the Department of Hematology and Medical Oncology at Emory University School of Medicine; as well as director of Survivorship Services at the Winship Cancer Institute of Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia.

They also noted strategies for managing diarrhea, including patient education on diet, proactive use of loperamide, and regular monitoring. They also explained that hyperglycemia management should hinge on prophylactic use of metformin or SGLT2 inhibitors, dietary restrictions, and frequent glucose monitoring. Their conversation on rash management included insights about prophylactic antihistamines, patient education on skin care, and involving dermatology for severe cases. Overall, the experts spotlighted the importance of multidisciplinary collaboration and proactive patient education when treating patients with breast cancer.
Most people treat mental health like an emergency tool, not a daily strength practice. In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Yusuf sits down with Cory Chadwick, founder of Lyceum, to unpack the difference between reactive coping and proactive growth. This conversation is for anyone who's functioning but not thriving, especially busy leaders and high performers who want more clarity, energy, and consistency. You'll learn how to close the gap between where you are now and your personal “10” by building repeatable mental habits, not chasing motivation. About the Guest: Cory Chadwick is the founder of Lyceum, a trainer-led “mental gym” designed to help leaders and high performers build proactive mental fitness. He focuses on practical tools, accountability, and consistent growth through weekly group training. Key Takeaways: Treat mental health like physical fitness: train consistently, not only in crisis Use the “1 to 10” check-in to spot the gap between current self and best self Drop the need for perfection: missing one day is normal, quitting is optional Focus on “do something, not nothing” to keep momentum alive Ask yourself: “What do I really want out of life?” to simplify decisions Build sustainable habits with structure, guidance, and community How to Connect With the Guest: LinkedIn (connect with Cory Chadwick) https://www.yourlyceum.com/ Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

If your travel business feels chaotic, reactive, or “held together by hope and duct tape,” this episode is going to change everything. In today's conversation, Glenda breaks down one of the biggest themes she's seen this year across coaching calls, advisor conversations, and industry shifts: the difference between running your business on defense versus running it on offense. You'll hear a personal story about a nonprofit board experience that became an unexpected mirror for what so many travel advisors are experiencing in their own businesses. And you'll uncover why the solution isn't to hustle harder but to slow down long enough to build the foundation that creates confidence, clarity, and growth.

What you'll learn: • Why reactive businesses feel heavier, harder, and more chaotic • The surprising reason many advisors burn out without realizing it • How slowing down leads to faster and more sustainable growth • What “offensive strategy” looks like in a travel business • How to shift into clarity, control, and confidence Perfect for travel advisors who want a business that feels steady, scalable, and strategic, not stressful.

Kristy Yoskey, VP and Market Leader at PointClickCare, sees the evolution of demands of those living in senior living facilities from expecting basic housing to a desire for lifestyle choices, health services, and engagement in meaningful activities. On the facilities side, there is a shift from reactive to proactive care, where technology is used to monitor residents, identify behavioral changes, support clinical decision-making, and intervene early to prevent adverse events. In addition, the complexity of resident care is increasing, blurring the line between hospitality and healthcare and requiring greater care coordination and real-time updates for providers and family members. Kristy explains, "We've seen a real shift within senior living, and this is sort of a passion of mine. Residents in senior living are not just looking for hospitality, a place to go, and a roof over their heads anymore. They want lifestyle. They want health, they want purpose in life, they want independence. So we've seen real shifts in acuity levels, which means complexity, care needs are shifting. And we're seeing families sort of wanting more transparency, real-time updates. COVID really shifted a lot of things post-2020, and senior living did not necessarily get past that." "So they want to know that their loved one's not only safe, but they're also thriving, and they're receiving care. Residents want to know that someone's going to help coordinate their care and not just put them in an apartment and leave them alone. They're moving in for something that they need, some sort of help or something that is beyond what they can do in a community-type home. So the last thing I'll say here is that hospitality and healthcare have really become blurred in senior living since COVID. It's been a hot topic. We're seeing a lot more clinical services onsite and a lot more coordinated care happening. So the teams, the tools, all of that happening onsite within assisted independent memory care are now a necessity." #PointClickCare ##SeniorLiving #HealthTech #AI #DigitalHealth #ElderCare #ResidentWellness #HealthcareInnovation #ProactiveCare #SeniorCare #PointClickCare #WellnessCoordination #HealthcareTransformation #AgingInPlace #ClinicalTechnology pointclickcare.com Listen to the podcast here

Associates on Fire: A Financial Podcast for the Associate Dentist
In this episode of The Dental Boardroom Podcast, host Wes Read continues his series on common financial mistakes dentists make, with a deep dive into tax planning gaps that often lead to paying unnecessary taxes.Wes explains how many dentists rely on reactive tax filing instead of proactive tax planning, causing them to miss powerful deductions and make poor timing decisions. He breaks down practical, real-world strategies such as the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax election; overlooked deductions like kids on payroll, home office, vehicles, meals, and travel; and why depreciation must always align with cash flow.The episode also highlights the risks of overly aggressive tax strategies, why meeting with your CPA only once a year isn't enough, and how a CFO-style, proactive approach can significantly accelerate a dentist's path to financial independence.Key Topics CoveredCommon tax planning mistakes dentists makeHow the Pass-Through Entity (PTE) tax election worksWhy the timing of tax payments mattersLow-hanging tax deductions many dentists missKids vs. spouse on payroll (and when it makes sense)Home office, car, meals, and travel deductionsRisks of aggressive tax strategies like misused R&D creditsProper vs. improper use of depreciation (Section 179)The difference between reactive CPAs and proactive, CFO-style planningKey TakeawaysPTE tax election is a major opportunity: Dentists in high-tax states can significantly reduce federal taxes if payments are made correctly and on time.Cash timing determines deductions: Tax deductions only apply in the year money actually leaves your account.Small deductions compound: When combined, kids on payroll, home office, vehicle use, meals, and travel can create meaningful tax savings.Spouse on payroll requires retirement planning: Without a 401(k) or defined benefit plan, it can increase taxes instead of reducing them.Depreciation isn't free money: Misusing Section 179 can create future cash flow problems.Avoid crossing the line: Aggressive or poorly justified strategies increase audit risk.Tax planning follows cash flow planning: Taxes are a subset of cash flow—not the other way around.Proactive advice matters: Dentists benefit most from advisors who specialize in dentistry and meet multiple times per year.CFO-style planning accelerates wealth:...

In this episode, I'm joined by Lisa Candera, a fellow ADHDer, autism mom, attorney, and parent coach who helps parents regulate themselves first so they can better support their neurodivergent kids. This conversation is raw, honest, and deeply needed—especially if you've ever felt like you're holding everything together while quietly falling apart.Lisa and I talk about what really happens when parenting a neurodivergent child pushes you to your limits—emotionally, physically, and mentally. We explore why traditional parenting strategies often backfire, how parent regulation changes everything, and what to do when behaviors escalate beyond what feels manageable. If you're parenting a neurodivergent child and wondering, “Why isn't this working?”—this episode is for you.Lisa Candera is a single mom, attorney, ADHD-er, and autism mom coach. She helps parents of autistic children regulate themselves first so they can show up for their kids with compassion, clarity, and strength.

Being proactive in AEC has always been the goal but until now, it's been hard to achieve at scale. In this episode of Bridging the Gap, host Todd Weyandt is joined by David Spergel of Graitec to explore how AI is reshaping workflows to help project teams anticipate risk, surface intent earlier, and make better decisions across the project lifecycle. The conversation dives into how shared project artifacts, like drawings and PDFs, are evolving into intelligent layers that connect design teams, project managers, and the field. Rather than reacting to issues after they appear, AI-powered workflows help teams reduce ambiguity, improve communication, and move work forward with greater clarity and confidence. This episode offers a hopeful, practical look at how AI supports people, not by replacing expertise, but by enabling more proactive, aligned, and predictable project delivery. You'll Learn: How AI workflows are helping project teams shift from reactive problem-solving to proactive decision-making Why shared project artifacts like drawings and PDFs are evolving into intelligent layers that connect design, construction, and the field How surfacing intent and context earlier reduces coordination gaps, RFIs, and late-stage surprises Ways AI improves communication and collaboration without replacing human expertise or forcing new workflows What proactive, AI-enabled project delivery looks like and why it leads to more predictable outcomes MEET OUR GUEST David Spergel is an AEC technology leader with deep experience helping design and construction teams improve how they collaborate, communicate, and execute projects using digital tools. His background spans software enablement, workflow optimization, and customer-facing strategy, with a strong focus on how platforms like Bluebeam support real-world project delivery. David brings a practical, people-first perspective to emerging technologies, translating AI and data-driven workflows into clear, adoptable processes that help teams reduce risk, break down silos, and make better decisions across the project lifecycle. TODD TAKES AI isn't a threat. It's a force multiplier for people. In AEC, AI isn't replacing expertise. It's removing the tedious, time-consuming work that pulls teams away from judgment, creativity, and problem-solving. When the noise is reduced, people can focus on decisions that actually move projects forward. The industry's real opportunity is turning shared artifacts into shared understanding. Drawings, markups, and documents already hold enormous intent and context. When that information becomes easier to interpret and act on, teams spend less time searching for answers and more time aligning across design, construction, and the field. Better data leads to better conversations and better outcomes. When information is surfaced proactively instead of reactively, collaboration improves. Fewer misunderstandings, fewer late surprises, and clearer accountability create momentum toward predictability, trust, and stronger project delivery. Thanks for listening!

In this episode (#316) we focus on the critical role of proactive honesty in healing relationships impacted by addiction, betrayal, and trauma. Proactive honesty goes far beyond “not lying”—it means leading with truth rather than waiting to be confronted, asked the right question, or forced into disclosure. When honesty becomes reactive instead of proactive, trust erodes, emotional safety collapses, and partners lose the ability to make informed choices. We emphasize that honesty struggles are not limited to addicts; partners can also drift into dishonesty through self-silencing, conflict avoidance, or fear of toxic reactions.We examine the many reasons honesty breaks down, including fear of conflict, shame, habitual deception, emotional dysregulation, and attempts to manage or control others' perceptions. While these patterns may be understandable survival strategies, they are never harmless. Dishonesty—whether through outright lies, partial truths, minimization, or “everything's fine” responses—undermines accountability, intimacy, and recovery. We explain why clarity equals respect, why intent does not erase impact, and how avoiding the full truth often creates repeated betrayals rather than preventing harm.Finally, we outline what practicing proactive honesty actually looks like: catching dishonesty early, naming wrongs clearly, telling the whole truth, acknowledging impact without defensiveness, expressing accountability without shame, backing words with measurable actions, and allowing the other person's response without trying to control it. We also stress the importance of choosing appropriate environments for difficult conversations—without using that as an excuse to deceive. Proactive honesty is uncomfortable and challenging, but it is essential for rebuilding trust, restoring integrity, and creating relationships rooted in safety, authenticity, and real connection.For a full transcript of this podcast in article format, go to: What Does "Proactive Honesty" in Your Daily Life & Relationships Look Like?Learn more about Mark and Steve's revolutionary online porn/sexual addiction recovery and betrayal trauma healing program at—daretoconnectnow.comFind out more about Steve Moore at: Ascension CounselingLearn more about Mark Kastleman at: Reclaim Counseling Services

#752 What if the fastest way to more freedom, better clients, and a healthier life isn't working harder — but setting better boundaries? In this episode, host Brien Gearin welcomes back builder and podcast host Mark Williams (Mark D. Williams Custom Homes / The Curious Builder Podcast) for a powerful conversation centered on one core idea: boundaries create freedom.

professorjrod@gmail.comIn this episode of Technology Tap: CompTIA Study Guide, we explore how proactive detection surpasses reactive troubleshooting in cybersecurity. For those preparing for their CompTIA exam, understanding the subtle clues and quiet anomalies attackers leave behind is essential for developing strong IT skills and excelling in tech exam prep. We dive deep into the critical indicators that help you detect security compromises early, providing practical knowledge essential for your technology education and IT certification journey. Join us as we equip you with expert insights to sharpen your detection abilities and enhance your competence in protecting systems effectively.We walk through the behaviors that matter: viruses that hitch a ride on clicks, worms that paint the network with unexplained traffic, and fileless attacks that live in memory and borrow admin tools like PowerShell and scheduled tasks. You'll learn how to spot spyware by the aftermath of credential misuse, recognize RATs and backdoors by their steady beaconing to unknown IPs, and use contradictions—like tools disagreeing about running processes—as a signal for rootkits. We also draw a sharp line between ransomware's loud chaos and cryptojacking's quiet drain on your CPU and fan.Zooming out, we map network and application signals: certificate warnings and duplicate MACs that hint at man-in-the-middle, DNS mismatches that suggest cache poisoning, and log patterns that betray SQL injection, replay abuse, or directory traversal. Along the way, we talk about building Security+ instincts through scaffolding—A+ for OS and hardware intuition, Network+ for protocol fluency, and Security+ for attacker behavior—so indicators make sense the moment you see them.If you want a sharper eye for subtle threats and a stronger shot at your Security+ exam, this guide will train your attention on the tells adversaries can't fully hide.

Federal Tech Podcast: Listen and learn how successful companies get federal contracts
One famous cartoon featured two vultures sitting on a fence; one turned to the other and said, "I am sick of waiting, let's kill something." When it comes to preventing cyberattacks, the federal government is well known for a defensive approach. They have security systems, air gap systems, and even a zero-trust approach. This defensive approach is essential but may not give the federal government a complete view of how to protect data. Today, we sat down with Chris Jones, Nightwing's Chief Technical Officer. He outlines some of the characteristics of a concept called "offense informs defense." This is a method that Nightwing has developed through over 40 years of working with federal technology leaders. For example, they developed their Counter Trace service, which uses offensive cyber strategies to defend critical infrastructure. The service involves proactively hunting for vulnerabilities, identifying access points, and analyzing digital evidence to expose cyberattacks. During the interview, Jones mentions that the GSA has received this approach well. In fact, Nightwing recently won all six GSA Highly Adaptive Security Services categories. These handle security aspects like Penetration Testing, Incident Response, Risk Assessments, Cyber Hunt, and High Value Asses Assessments. Jones emphasizes the importance of initiative-taking, cybersecurity, AI integration, and collaboration across agencies to adapt to protect federal data.

Feeling Safe vs Being Safe in Therapy - How to Reference Non-Academic Resources In Episode 361 of the Counselling Tutor Podcast, your hosts Rory Lees-Oakes and Ken Kelly explore three vital topics for students and practitioners of counselling and psychotherapy: Firstly, in ‘Ethical, Sustainable Practice', Rory and Ken examine managing isolation in counselling practice, highlighting why counsellors may experience isolation, the impact of emotional labour, and the importance of maintaining professional connections. Then in ‘Practice Matters', Rory speaks with psychotherapist Claire Ratcliffe about the subtle but essential distinction between feeling safe and being safe in therapy, and what this means for clients and therapeutic practice. And finally, in ‘Student Services', Rory and Ken offer practical guidance on how to reference non-academic resources in academic assignments. Managing Isolation in Counselling Practice [starts at 03:29 mins] Rory and Ken reflect on managing isolation in counselling practice, exploring the isolating nature of counselling work and how the emotional labour involved can take a toll if not proactively addressed. Counsellors often work alone - especially in private or online practice - reducing professional interaction. Confidentiality prevents therapists from sharing day-to-day experiences, contributing to feelings of disconnection. Emotional labour builds up over time and, without an outlet, can lead to burnout or compassion fatigue. Proactive self-care, social hobbies, and peer engagement are essential for maintaining emotional balance. Supervision and CPD groups offer vital opportunities for connection and support. Personal development through reflective practice helps therapists process isolation and stay grounded. Feeling Safe vs Being Safe in Therapy [starts at 19:00 mins] Claire Ratcliffe joins Rory to unpack the nuanced difference between being in a safe environment and actually feeling safe enough to engage in therapy. A therapist may offer a structurally safe space, but clients may not feel safe due to past trauma or relational history. Feeling safe is a nervous system response developed through consistent, attuned, and non-defensive relational experiences. Transference may cause clients to project past harm onto the therapist - naming and exploring this supports healing. Emotional safety allows clients to express discomfort or anger - a sign of growth and nervous system regulation. Therapists must do their own reflective and supervision work to hold client projections non-defensively. The therapeutic process itself may not always feel safe. Even with a safe therapist, clients need time to build tolerance to emotional vulnerability. How to Reference Non-Academic Resources [starts at 44:52 mins] Ken and Rory explain how to correctly use and cite non-academic resources in counselling training assignments. Academic work should be referenced using primary academic sources (e.g. Rogers, Freud), not interpretations by tutors or websites. Resources like Counselling Tutor are useful for understanding theory but should not be cited as the original source. Counselling Tutor provides full reference lists for its materials, supporting students in finding and citing academic texts. There are exceptions: students can cite guest experts in CPD lectures, or books authored by Counselling Tutor. A dedicated reference guide is available at https://counsellingtutor.com/reference/ Understanding referencing standards supports academic integrity and successful assignment writing.

Key projects like the Mobility Center and a mixed-use redevelopment of the old Acme site are already underway, backed by creative financing and strategic zoning changes. The DDP's new nonprofit, Capital City Transformation Alliance, will reinvest parking revenue directly into future improvements, an unusual and impactful move. Diane also previews Winterfest 2026, a free downtown celebration with ice sculptures, food trucks, music, and more—all part of a broader effort to boost foot traffic, local pride, and small business success downtown.
In this episode, Dr. Karen Litzy and Dr. Stephanie Weyrauch discuss the evolving landscape of physical therapy as they look ahead to 2026.

Most people treat taxes like an unavoidable expense. The wealthy treat them like a strategy. In this episode, I break down how high net worth individuals and families legally and ethically use taxes to build wealth instead of losing it. We walk through the mindset shift, the incentives built into the tax code, and the four biggest strategies the wealthy use to lower their effective tax rates while compounding assets. This is not about loopholes or shortcuts. It is about understanding how the system works and using it intentionally. If you are tired of reacting to taxes and want to start planning ahead, this episode is your starting point. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why taxes are a blueprint not a bill 01:15 The mindset difference between classes 03:00 Why the tax code rewards behavior 04:20 Business ownership and pre tax strategies 06:40 Depreciation explained simply 08:30 Real estate and tax efficiency 10:20 Proactive planning versus reaction 12:00 DIY or delegate 13:30 How to start using the system Key Takeaways • Taxes are an incentive system • Ownership changes how you are taxed • Depreciation creates real advantages • Real estate compounds wealth and tax efficiency • Planning ahead reduces stress and taxes • Education is the real advantage Quotables "The wealthy do not fear taxes. They design around them." "Taxes are not the enemy. Ignorance is." "Playing offense with money starts with understanding the rules." Closing If this episode gave you clarity, share it with someone still paying taxes blindly. You do not need to cheat. You do not need to be ultra rich. You just need to learn the system and use it intentionally.
In today's episode, I sit down with Ryan Heath, Founder of Trustpoint Legal, to explore what a modern “Family Office 2.0” actually looks like and why the old models are falling short. We talk about how family offices are evolving from static wealth preservation vehicles into operating businesses built around people, purpose, and multi-generational decision making. Ryan shares lessons from working closely with families navigating liquidity events, succession, and generational transitions, and why flexibility and intentional design matter more than rigid structures. The conversation centers on treating the family office as a living organization, not just a collection of legal documents. Many can relate to putting in strategic plans for their businesses, their health, etc. What's funny is we often don't put the same planning into what's most important to us - our family. Ryan is on a mission to help families change that. We discuss: What defines a Family Office 2.0 and how it differs from traditional family office models Why legacy, values, and human dynamics drive long-term outcomes more than tax efficiency How flexible mandates help families adapt as generations, priorities, and circumstances change The risks of poor communication and rushed planning during liquidity events or succession How intentional family meetings and shared mission statements strengthen multi-generational alignment This episode is especially valuable for founders and families rethinking how to structure wealth, leadership, and legacy in a way that actually works across generations.
