As your business grows, your role changes.When it was just you, giving feedback directly was fast and effective. Once managers are in place, skip-level feedback creates confusion, erodes trust, and slows execution, even when your intentions are good.In this episode, Melissa breaks down why bypassing managers undermines performance and how to cascade feedback without losing control.This isn't about stepping back from leadership. It's about evolving how communication flows so managers can actually manage and your organization can mature.You'll learn:The hidden costs of skip-level feedbackWhy performance issues are often operating model problemsHow confused priorities and trust erosion happenWhat cascading feedback should look likeThe key questions owners must start askingWhat to stop doing immediately as your team growsWhen feedback flows through the right layer:Visibility improvesAccountability is clearDecision-making gets strongerIf you don't trust your managers to manage, the structure is cosmetic, not functional.Listen in to learn how to lead at scale without creating chaos. If you want help setting up an organizational design that can function with independence, let's talk it through.

Why does data always feel like the thing we don't have time for in math?Teachers and leaders say they want students who can think critically, reason mathematically, and engage with real-world problems. But when time gets tight, data is often the first strand to go—seen as extra, wishy-washy, or disconnected from “real math.” In this episode, Jon Orr and Yvette Lehman challenge that thinking and argue that data isn't competing with number sense—it's one of the most powerful ways to build it.In This Episode, You'll Learn:Why data is often perceived as less rigorous or less important in mathHow data naturally supports number sense, proportional reasoning, and multiplicative thinkingWhy real-world data creates more authentic math experiences than contrived word problemsHow data supports critical thinking, discourse, and visual reasoningWhy interpretive math isn't “soft”—it's essentialPractical ways to integrate data without derailing pacingResources teachers can use right away to bring meaningful data into instructionIf you've ever felt like you have to choose between number sense and data, this episode will help you rethink that tradeoff—and give you concrete ways to make data a meaningful part of math learning.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

Send a textIf you're still running one “hero ad” and hoping it scales, you're already behind.In this episode, Jeremy breaks down why Meta's evolving algorithm has made single-creative campaigns obsolete—and why sports teams must shift from building one good ad to building a creative system. You'll learn how to structure multiple angles around one game, how to think in buyer motivations (not demographics), and how to create a “creative menu” that actually drives ticket sales.Key Topics CoveredWhy “What's the best ad format?” is the wrong questionThe myth of the one perfect ticket-selling adHow Meta's reduced targeting options change everythingThe “menu problem” most teams don't realize they have5 psychological ticket-buyer motivations for the same eventWhy frequency spikes and CPM increases aren't budget problemsHow to build 8–10 creative variations from one gameUsing ChatGPT to generate angles, hooks, and copy fasterWhy warming ads matter (AIDA framework explained)The difference between boosting posts and building strategyTimestamps00:00 – The myth of the “one killer ad” 02:40 – Why buyers aren't all motivated by the same thing 05:50 – The ice cream shop analogy (creative variety explained) 06:11 – 5 angles for the same Saturday Night Fireworks game 08:30 – Why Meta won't scale one message anymore 10:44 – How to practically build multiple creative angles 11:51 – The AIDA framework and warming ads 13:00 – Simple 4-step creative system for teams 15:19 – Stop boosting. Start building a creative menu.The Big Idea: You Don't Have a Targeting Problem. You Have a Creative Problem.Most teams run:One graphicOne hype videoOne captionOne boosted postThat's vanilla ice cream.But your fans don't all buy tickets for the same reason.Some buy for:Family memoriesSocial nights outDate nightsCorporate hostingWhen you run only one angle, Meta finds one pocket of people, frequency climbs, CPM increases, and performance plateaus.It's not a budget issue.You ran out of angles.The Creative Menu FrameworkFor one game:Write down 5 reasons someone would attend (motivations, not demographics).Create 2 angles per motivation.Make sure visuals are different (faces, scenes, tone, format).Let Meta run long enough to optimize (not 48 hours).That's 8–10 ads from one event.That's scale.Jeremy references the classic AIDA model:AttentionInterestDesireActionNot every ad converts immediately. Some warm. Some build trust. Some create demand.If you shut off non-converting ads too quickly, you kill the top of your funnel.Call to ActionIf this episode helped shift your thinking, share it with someone on your marketing or ticket sales team.Because the teams that move from one creative to a creative system are the teams that will scale ticket sales in 2026 and beyond.Links mentioned: Sports Marketing Machine powered by Revelocity Sports AIDA Framework viSports Marketing Machine on LinkedInSports Marketing Machine on InstagramBook a call with Jeremy from Sports Marketing Machine

Episode Description:This archival conversation with Ramit Sethi is a masterclass in systems thinking, behavioral psychology, and building a “rich life” on your own terms.Long before online courses were mainstream, Ramit was quietly building scalable systems—automating money, testing business ideas rigorously, and rejecting conventional wisdom around careers, housing, and passion. In this conversation, he explains why most advice fails, why willpower is overrated, and how to engineer results instead of hoping for inspiration.They cover negotiation psychology, competence triggers, breaking into dream jobs without HR, why buying a house isn't always the best investment, and how to build a real online business—from research to first sale.This episode still holds up because it's not about hacks. It's about structure. Systems. Leverage. And testing instead of guessing.What You'll Learn:Why analyzing your own behavior (even on video) is one of the fastest ways to improveThe concept of “competence triggers” and how to use them in interviews and negotiationsWhy most financial advice (like skipping lattes) focuses on the wrong problemsHow to negotiate salary without anchoring yourself to your current payThe step-by-step system for building an online business—from research to first saleTimestamped Chapters:[00:02:00] Human Behavior, Willpower & Cognitive Misers[00:03:00] Ramit's Origin Story: Scholarships, Interviews & Self-Analysis[00:06:00] The Power of Videotaping Yourself[00:08:00] Losing Money & Discovering Personal Finance Psychology[00:09:00] Why Latte Advice Doesn't Work[00:11:00] Automating Money & Designing a Rich Life[00:14:00] The Housing Myth & Financial “Great Lies”[00:18:00] How to Land a Dream Job (Without HR)[00:20:00] Negotiation Tactics & Avoiding Salary Anchors[00:28:00] Competence Triggers & Social Signaling[00:34:00] Why Courses Beat Books (For Results)[00:38:00] Zero to Launch: Why Most Passive Income Advice Is Wrong[00:41:00] Research Before Building: Finding Profitable Ideas[00:44:00] Writing Headlines That Sell[00:49:00] Traffic Strategy: Guest Posting & Email Lists[00:52:00] Case Study: Turning Tutoring into $200KAdditional Resources:Ramit Sethi's WebsiteI Will Teach You to Be Rich - The BookSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

What do you do when students already know the math before you even teach it?This question came straight from a listener—and it's one we don't talk about enough. While so much attention in education focuses on supporting students below grade level, we often miss a critical (and underserved) group: the students who already “get it.”Without meaningful mathematical thinking and cognitive challenge, these students may disengage, develop surface-level strategies, or come to see math as boring and procedural. In this episode, we explore why traditional unit pacing may actually harm these learners—and what educators can do instead to deepen reasoning, sense-making, and flexibility. If you've ever wondered what comes after mastery, this conversation is for you.Listeners Will Learn:Why “early finishers” often get the least instructional support in mathHow adjusting pace can unintentionally limit access to the full landscape of grade-level mathematicsWhat it looks like to create math challenge without just assigning more problemsHow “what if?” questions and strategic mathematical constraints deepen understandingWhy abstract thinkers need to represent their thinking—and how to get their buy-inHow planning ahead (not improvising) leads to better differentiation in mathThe power of mini-consolidations to target all learners, not just the middleWhy all students—not just struggling ones—deserve access to rich, high-cognitive-demand math tasksWhether you're a teacher trying to meet a wide range of learners or a coach supporting classroom math differentiation, this episode is packed with tools and mindsets to help you stretch mathematically confident learners without sacrificing your core instruction.Not sure what matters most when designing math improvement plans?

This episode is a reality check for anyone who thinks construction is just catching up to tech. It's not. Construction is now leading it.In this episode of KP Unpacked, KP Reddy and Nick make the case that design and construction have become the single most important constraint on technological progress. Data centers can't get built fast enough. Housing can't scale. Power generation is racing to keep pace. And for the first time in history, construction is facing technology-driven upgrade cycles, not aesthetic ones.But this isn't just macro. KP walks through live experiments with Claude Cowork and Claude Code: automating LinkedIn grooming, generating $7K in Substack revenue, replacing million-dollar consulting contracts, and sending 1,000 personalized emails in under an hour. The breakthrough? AI agents don't need APIs anymore. They're reading screens and controlling desktop applications, which means on-screen takeoff, Revit, and legacy construction software are suddenly vulnerable.Key topics covered:Why on-screen automation could kill 50+ construction tech startups in the next yearHow AI agents control your desktop by watching and clicking, not integrating via APIReal experiments: LinkedIn automation, competitive analysis, email campaigns, vibe modeling in ExcelWhy construction is the bottleneck for AI infrastructure, housing supply, and energy distributionThe shift from trickle-funding to big bets: why seed rounds should be $15–25M for real problemsHow to get surgical about ICP definition using AI-powered researchThe 48-hour email delay hack: protecting your time when automation makes you too efficientWhy sales-oriented, variable-comp businesses are ideal for AI leverage right nowIf you're a founder building in AEC, an investor trying to understand where capital should flow, or an operator wondering whether your software strategy is already obsolete, this episode will reframe how you think about the next five years.Listen now.BuildingWorks & Brookwood Sponsors

Most builders don't fail because they're bad at construction — they fail because no one ever taught them how to run a business.In this episode of The Your Project Shepherd Podcast, Curtis Lawson is joined by Kurt Hegetschweiler, international builder coach and author of Million Dollar Builder 2.0, to unpack why so many builders stay busy, stressed, and underpaid despite years of experience.Kurt shares hard-earned insights from coaching thousands of builders worldwide, breaking down the leadership, financial, and systems mistakes that quietly erode profit and create burnout.This conversation is especially relevant for custom home builders, remodelers, and residential contractors who want better margins, stronger cash flow, and more control over their businesses.What You'll Learn in this EpisodeWhy your construction business will never outgrow your leadershipThe hidden cost of free estimates and rushed pricingThe difference between markup, margin, and real profitabilityWhy chasing more work often creates more problemsHow pre-construction systems prevent downstream chaosWhy specialization leads to consistency and higher marginsThe mindset shift required to move from tradesperson to business ownerAbout the GuestKurt Hegetschweiler is an international construction business coach and the author of Million Dollar Builder 2.0. He helps builders implement proven systems that improve profit, cash flow, workflow, and leadership — without working longer hours.Who This Episode is ForResidential homebuildersCustom home builders and remodelersContractors transitioning from trades to ownershipBuilders stuck at the same revenue year after yearOwners experiencing stress, burnout, or financial unpredictability

It's a brand new year, and I'm branching out with more interviews—so for the first guest of 2026, I brought in somebody who's going to stretch your thinking in real time.In this episode of Concepts and Conversations, I sit down with Dr. Ron Stotts, a Doctor of Psychology and a Doctor of Chiropractic—a true “doctor doctor.” But what stood out most wasn't the titles. It was the way he breaks down how people get stuck in patterns they don't even realize are running their lives.We talk about consciousness—not as a trendy word, but as a practical skill: becoming more aware of what you're thinking, feeling, and reacting from… and how that awareness shapes everything from your success to your relationships.Then the conversation goes deep.Dr. Ron introduces a concept that stopped me in my tracks: “B-minus love.” He explains how many couples settle into relationship dynamics that are functional, but not fully connected—where love is capped because both people are operating from unhealed parts of themselves. That leads us into the rescuer/victim/persecutor cycle, and I share personal examples of how that dynamic showed up in my own past, including a moment that made it clear: sometimes it's not that you were “too much”… it's that you were trying to earn love from someone who only offered it conditionally.We also talk about:Why many “relationship problems” are really inner programming problemsHow unhealed anger shows up as overreactions (level 5 situation, level 9 response)Why people look for external solutions—until life forces an inner oneHow faith and spirituality can either empower growth or become a way to avoid the real workThe truth about confidence: it's not performance—it's presenceWhere someone should start if they truly want to transform their lifeDr. Ron's message is simple, but it's not light:If you want a better relationship, you don't just need better strategies—you need a more conscious inner architect.This episode will challenge you, but it will also give you language for things you've felt but couldn't explain. And if you're engaged, dating seriously, rebuilding after heartbreak, or trying to lead yourself better in 2026—this one is for you.To learn more about Dr. Ron Stotts and access his resources, visit ronstotts.com.“You don't need a better strategy. You need a more conscious inner architect.”“You'll never have more than a B-minus level of love if you don't heal the inner child.”“Whatever you don't heal as an adult, you pass along to your children.”“A regulated nervous system is a competitive advantage—and a human one.”“Anger is fine… it's the emotional backlog that makes it unsafe.”

It's the start of 2026, and I'm (Seth) kicking things off with a solo episode reflecting on the highs, lows, and lessons of 2025.Expect to learn how I balanced the artistic mind with the business mind, why stepping away from social media made me a more fulfilled creator, the surprising productivity of stillness and boredom, and how I found deeper meaning in my video work. I'll also share lessons from running injuries, the joy of teaching my niece and nephew about nature, and why my dog learning to swim became an unexpected highlight of 2025 along with much, much more....Expect to Learn:Why you should set three challenging goals each year that have a 50% chance of failureHow to identify and finish incomplete tasks or projects to reduce mental clutterWhy eliminating social media can improve your creative outputHow dedicating 20-30 minutes to complete stillness will help you come up with solutions to problemsHow to apply the "3-2-1 system" to structure your day for ultimate productivity and eliminate the non-essentialSponsors:Thanks to WhiteWall for being our lead sponsor this episode!

Send us a textAs Christmas break stretches on and a new year approaches, many parents feel worn down frustrated by screens, messes, and constant resistance. If that's you, you're not failing… and you're not alone.In this New Year's episode of The Way of Valor, Angie Taylor offers hope and clarity for parents who want more than behavior management. This conversation is about formation how daily practices, expectations, and leadership shape your child's character and the culture of your home.The core truth of this episode is simple and powerful: Kids can do hard things but they can't do them alone.When parents are willing to do hard things first, everything begins to change.In this episode, Angie shares:Why most parenting struggles are formation problems, not discipline problemsHow unchallenged behaviors slowly become normalized in your homeWhy avoiding hard things now makes parenting harder laterHow perseverance, discipline, and even discomfort produce maturity—biblically and practicallyWhy kids' understanding of authority and God is deeply shaped by their parentsA Simple Goal for 2026:Don't overhaul everything. Start small. Choose one goal: We are going to learn to do hard things.Begin with yourself your spiritual health, physical health, and willingness to take responsibility.

By the system.But when was the last time you asked yourself a question that actually helped?In this final week of our 10-week Recharge Challenge, we're talking about one of the most overlooked (and powerful) stress-reduction tools you already have: better questions.Not the stuck, spiraling ones:Why is this happening to me?What now?!How am I supposed to manage all of this?Those aren't really questions. They're expressions of overwhelm.This episode is about learning how to ask questions that create movement instead of paralysis, clarity instead of self-blame, and agency instead of burnout.As physicians, curiosity is our superpower.

This episode goes deep into the mechanics of scaling a company from steady growth to breakout velocity. Peter shares how Spreedly quadrupled ARR growth in his first year without increasing OPEX, why the “right people pointed at the right problems” is everything, and how to decide which problems are existential versus learn-as-you-go.We dissect how go-to-market organizations evolve from $20M to $100M ARR, the power of focus and role separation, and how to keep silos aligned around one customer story.Peter also explains the shift from “payments orchestration” to “open payments” and how Spreedly's position as the original player in the space gives them unique leverage. We walk through the future of agentic commerce, Google's new agent-to-agent payments protocol, and what it means when agents can transact faster than any human could ever shop.We close out with the Dodgeball acquisition, a primer on fraud orchestration, and a wild story about working an entire night shift at a nightclub during a meltdown launch.Topics Covered:How Peter defines the journey to presidencyThe “right person, right problem” frameworkOne-way vs two-way doors for staffing big problemsHow to scale a GTM org from $20M to $100MWhy open payments replaces orchestrationSpreedly's unique market position and 15-year head startAgent to agent commerce and Google's new payments protocolHow AI changes the velocity of money movementFraud orchestration and Spreedly's acquisition of DodgeballBalancing profitable growth vs growth at all costsPerception vs reality in leadershipPeter's wildest “I never thought I'd see that” story 

Ever notice how the same patterns keep repeating in your life? New person, new situation… But the exact same frustrations, emotions, reactions, and endings.No matter how many times you try to “fix” whatever's happening in the moment, it doesn't fully shift. It feels like your life is stuck on repeat and you're the only one who never got the blueprint on how to actually change it.Here's what no one tells you:The problem you think you're dealing with is almost never the real issue. That's why it keeps resurfacing in different forms. You're treating the surface-level trigger, but not what's underneath.In this week's episode, we deep dive into the Source truth behind your patterns:Why faking positivity does more harm than goodThe real reason your problems never seem to get “fixed”How running away from your emotions creates more problemsHow to actually work through the patterns that keep popping upI even share a personal story from my pregnancy, a moment I swore was “the problem” only to realize it wasn't the root at all.If you're ready to finally understand why the same problems keep showing up for you and how to end the cycle for good… this episode is a MUST-LISTEN.RESOURCES MENTIONEDThe Glow Retreathttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/glowretreatYour $28 Foundational Programhttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/the-foundationThe Alexandra Ninfo Affiliate Programhttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/affiliateUnf*ck Yourself Membershiphttps://www.alexandraninfo.com/membershipPregnancy Glow Waitlisthttps://allie-ninfo.mykajabi.com/pregnancy-glow-waitlistFOLLOW ME Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/alexandraninfo TikTok - https://www.tiktok.com/@alexandraninfo You Can Also Listen to Unf*ck Yourself Podcast HereSite - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/podcast Apple Podcast - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/unf-ck-yourself/id1647393740 Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4OfhtVIbV73xuSrZ2MnXKZ?si=f3fabaa47ca4482e YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AlexandraNinfo

In today's episode, we dive into three BIG questions from grassroots football parents and coaches. The kind of issues every junior football team eventually faces.From mixed-ability under-7 teams, to how much football a young kids should do, to handling misbehaviour and lack of focus…we break it all down with honest, experience-based advice.We start with a dilemma many clubs will recognise: mixed teams vs A/B teams.When some parents want results, others want development, and friendship groups matter…what's the right answer?This question gives a real insight into just how tough coaching at grassroots level can be, especially when volunteers are caught between player needs and parent expectations.Next, we tackle a huge parent worry: How many football sessions should a young child do?We discuss enjoyment vs overload, balance, spotting signs of genuine passion, and why parent-led pressure can quickly turn football into a job rather than a joy. This is essential viewing for any parent with a football-mad child.Finally, we dig into one of the most common coaching challenges: misbehaviour, lack of focus, and keeping players engaged.We share practical solutions around session design, arrival activities, transitions, behaviour expectations, praise strategies, and communicating with parents.If you coach primary-age footballers, this part is gold. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN IN THIS EPISODEWhy mixed teams can work and when they start causing problemsHow to manage parent expectations without compromising your ethosThe real answer to “How much is too much football for a young child?”Why enjoyment should guide everythingPractical behaviour-management tools that work in real sessionsHow to design sessions that reduce messing about and increase engagementComment on the episode:Tell us — what's the biggest challenge YOU face as a grassroots parent or coach?Subscribe:So you don't miss future episodes supporting football parents and coaches.Coaching resources:Visit https://onlinefootballcourses.com/ for ebooks, guides, and practical tools for grassroots coaches.Join our sessions in Leeds:Give your child a fun, pressure-free football environment they'll love.

In this episode of the Business Builder Series, Staci explores the mindset shift every founder must make in order to scale: letting go of the “hero” role. She reveals why jumping in to fix every problem feels productive, but ultimately turns you into the bottleneck that slows your business down. Staci walks through how to empower your team to think, make decisions, and take ownership, so your business can grow beyond your capacity. This short episode is packed with practical mindset shifts, leadership tools, and a simple homework assignment that will transform how you lead your team.Key topics covered:How the “hero habit” gives founders a dopamine hit while secretly sabotaging growthThe surprising reason being the go-to person can stunt your team's confidence and capabilityWhy answering questions quickly keeps you reactive instead of strategicHow shifting from “fixer” to “coach” unlocks speed, trust, and team autonomyStaci's favourite leadership questions that train your team to think—not just doThe culture transformation that happens when ownership becomes expectedThe “monkey on your back” analogy and how to stop taking on everyone else's problemsHow to know when a recurring issue needs a system, and when it doesn'tWhy letting your team try (and sometimes fail) once saves you countless hours foreverThe mindset shift from control to trust that separates solopreneurs from true leaderChallenge:When someone brings you a problem, do NOT solve it. Ask a follow-up question instead — guide them, don't fix it for them.Make a list of the top three things you're still manually fixing.Choose one of those three and create a system for it.Staci's Links:Instagram.

This episode is sponsored by Lockton, click here to learn more Watch the Full Video on YouTube - click hereAI dominates every conversation in the automotive industry, but very few companies know how to make it truly useful. That focus on real value is what led MIT research scientist Dr. Bryan Reimer to write How to Make AI Useful.The idea began casually over dinner in Lisbon, when someone asked him what he really thought about AI. Bryan didn't dive into predictions about machines taking over. He focused on something more practical: how AI only matters when it's built with people in mind.He breaks AI down into three realities: the excitement of what it could do, the fear that follows when we realize what it might do, and the long, steady work required to make it truly valuable. AI can automate the basics and even create new content, but its real strength is amplifying human skill, not replacing it. The goal isn't an autopilot workforce. It's a copilot.That means the fear that AI will take jobs is misplaced. AI changes work; it doesn't erase it. Just as assisted driving has changed how we drive, rather than removing the driver, AI will shift roles and demand new skills. Bryan points out that layoffs blamed on AI are often just business decisions wearing a convenient mask. The real question is how companies use AI to make work better rather than cheaper.To do that, leaders in automotive need to unlearn old habits. Years of rigid processes, slow decision-making, and fear of change make it hard for AI to deliver value.He argues that useful AI requires trust and transparency. It's hard for any organization to move forward when fear, hidden approvals, and layers of bureaucracy control decisions. If employees can't be trusted to make decisions, AI won't save them. The real challenge is cultural, not technical.Bryan expands the conversation globally. Japan is embracing robotics as companions, while Europe is focusing heavily on privacy. Culture shapes how AI grows, and automotive companies need to pay attention to what consumers value, not just what tech can do.He connects this to China as well. China's speed is not about dumping features into cars. It's about building products people can afford and use. If Western brands only chase faster or cheaper without real value, they will lose.AI becomes useful when companies start small, test real-world problems, and continually improve the tool until it actually helps people do their work. That progress may cost more in the beginning, but better safety features, more accurate data, and enhanced customer experiences rarely come from shortcuts. The goal is not to replace people. It's to build technology that helps them perform at a higher level.Themes discussed in this episode:How AI becomes useful only when it is designed to support human judgment instead of replacing workersWhy the “Wow, Whoa, and Grow” framework helps companies move beyond AI hype and build tools that solve real problemsHow assisted driving proves that advanced technology still depends on human responsibility and oversight to deliver safe, reliable resultsThe importance of unlearning outdated processes before applying AI to existing workflows in automotiveWhy a lack of trust inside automotive organizations slows down AI adoption more than the technology itselfLessons from China's speed in product development and why Western automakers should prioritize value and accessibility over rushed innovationWhat automotive leaders can learn from the pharmaceutical model of testing, releasing, and improving technology through data-driven updates over timeWhy leaders should start small, run narrow...

Most leaders think their organizational problems are structural — that if they just rearrange the boxes on the org chart, everything will flow better. But as organizational design consultant and executive coach Susannah Robinson explains, that's rarely the real issue.In this episode of Relationships at Work, host Russel Lolacher and Susannah break down what organizational design actually means — and how it connects directly to leadership behavior, culture, and employee experience.Together, they explore:Why most “structure problems” are really leadership and communication problemsHow to align your strategy, values, and design so your people can actually succeedThe difference between managing intent vs. managing impact as a leaderHow ego and fear of change block healthy redesignsWhat real accountability and trust look like when teams restructureWhether you're leading a department, a small business, or an entire organization, this conversation will help you see organizational design as a relationship practice — not a chart exercise.

Are you tired of chasing your acid reflux symptoms with PPI's, annoying food restrictions like the GERD diet, or hyper-vigilance about when and how much food you eat? When you ask your doctor if there's ANYTHING else you can do to help your acid reflux, do they tell you that you just need to pop another antacid, avoid trigger foods, or sleep on a wedge pillow?

The biggest issue facing the cotton industry isn't fast fashion or water consumption. It's that the people growing cotton have been rendered invisible. The industry fixates on fiber quality and commodity pricing while the farmers themselves– and their role in determining sustainability outcomes– get lost.Marzia Lanfranchi, founder of the global community Cotton Diaries, is a strategic consultant working to improve supply chain sustainability in the cotton industry. She argues that cotton is viewed first and foremost as ‘a cheap fiber,' instead of a commodity that is grown in the field. She has seen that when cotton is treated purely as "a cheap fiber" rather than an agricultural product shaped by farming practices, the entire system suffers, including the sustainability frameworks fashion brands are trying to build.In this episode, we discuss why putting farmers at the center changes everything.Sarah and Marzia discuss:What fashion brands miss or overlook about regenerative agricultureWhy cotton is often perceived as a ‘water thirsty crop' (and why that is not always the case)How stories are useful ‘tools' to help people visualize solutions to problemsHow traceability can be built into supply chains to help fashion brands improve sustainabilityUseful Links:Cotton Diaries “Manifesto”VejaLandfill to Farmfill: rethinking cotton waste (podcast)Promises of premiums won't cut it to scale sustainable agrifood supply chainsFor more information and resources, visit our website. The information in this post is not investment advice or a recommendation to invest.

The Hard Truth Sarah Drops in This EpisodeIf you're posting inspirational quotes and calling it marketing... stop. That's not marketing, that's just posting. And there's a big difference.The brutal reality: 82% of coaching businesses fail because their owners don't know how to find paying clients. But here's the thing – it's not your fault.Why Most Coaches Struggle (Spoiler: It's Not What You Think)Your coaching school taught you how to coach, not how to run a business. Sound familiar?The fantasy vs. reality:What you thought: "Coaching is my superpower! People will see what I do and come running!"What actually happened: CricketsThe problem: Your potential clients don't even know you exist. Worse? They don't know they need a coach – they're too busy struggling with their problem.The Thoughts Sabotaging Your SuccessSarah calls out the mental blocks every coach has (yes, even you):✗ "I don't want to be salesy"✗ "I'm terrible at promoting myself"✗ "Maybe I need more qualifications first"✗ "Marketing feels inauthentic"Reality check: You're not bad at marketing. You just haven't learned how to market yet.The Elephant in the Room: You Can't Market to EveryoneThe uncomfortable truth: When you try to appeal to everyone, you end up appealing to no one.Why this happens: Your message becomes so broad and vague that it floats past the people who desperately need your help.The Niche "Problem" That Isn't Actually a ProblemWhat coaches think: "If I choose a niche, won't I limit myself and get bored?"The reality: Choosing a niche isn't about saying no to variety – it's about saying yes to focus.Your clients aren't searching for "a coach."

Pittsburgh's success in the robotics space didn't happen overnight. It's been over 40 years in the making, with education, business, and new innovations all coming together to make the city one of the big robotics hubs alongside Boston and San Francisco.The Pittsburgh Robotics Network has been a key player in that success, giving individuals, companies, and universities the opportunity to collaborate on projects and business opportunities. Executive Director, Jennifer Apicella, joins us on the podcast to give us a background on Pittsburgh's industry and to share her take on the commercialization of robotics and automation.A key theme in this episode is how you don't have to replicate the success of the big cities. Every place is different, and part of Pittsburgh's success has been to lean into its unique strengths and industry challenges. In other words, you don't need your city to become the next Silicon Valley to be successful.

Society is going to change. People are going to change, businesses are going to change. Are you on the right side of that change?”“Commercialization is key.

What happens when a university rethinks the whole higher ed model rebuilds it around hands-on, project-based learning?Matt Kirchner dives into the bold model pioneered by Worcester Polytechnic Institute with Dr. Kristin Wobbe, Director of the Center for Project-Based Learning. A biochemist turned curriculum innovator, Kris has spent nearly two decades helping WPI embed real-world projects into every stage of a student's education.From first-year seminars on global challenges to immersive junior-year team projects with community partners around the world, WPI's model turns students into creators, collaborators, and critical thinkers from day one.Whether you're a university leader or an instructor in search of a better way to teach, this episode offers a masterclass in how to make learning stick.Listen to learn:Why students don't need to “know everything” before they dive into hands-on learningHow WPI redesigned its calendar and credits to prioritize deep project workWhat first-year students can accomplish when they take on global problemsHow project-based learning transforms both faculty culture and student confidenceWhy WPI students are more prepared for the workforce than their peers3 Big Takeaways from this Episode:1. Project-based learning works best when it starts early and is embedded across the entire student journey.At WPI, students can opt into the Great Problems Seminar in their first year—a two-course sequence that explores global issues like food security, energy, and AI through interdisciplinary teamwork. By senior year, every student must complete a Major Qualifying Project worth three full courses, often in partnership with faculty or industry, making project-based learning a requirement, not an add-on.2. The humanities directly enhance technical learning and student outcomes.WPI's alumni data shows students who complete their humanities and arts curriculum earlier perform better in technical coursework later on. These experiences sharpen communication, interdisciplinary research, and critical thinking skills—essential for identifying problems worth solving and communicating solutions effectively in STEM fields.3. Project-based learning is scalable far beyond polytechnic institutions.Through WPI's Center for Project-Based Learning, Kris and her team have supported schools ranging from the Air Force Academy to community colleges and liberal arts institutions like the New England Conservatory of Music. With 85% of WPI faculty incorporating projects into their courses—and over half of student work now project-based—the model proves adaptable across disciplines, schedules, and resource levels.Resources in this Episode:To learn more about the Center for Project-Based Learning at Worcester Polytechnic Institute, visit: https://wp.wpi.edu/projectbasedlearning/Other resources:Read Kris's book Project-Based Learning in the First YearBeyond All ExpectationsWe want to hear from you!
