Thanks to our Partners, NAPA Auto Care and NAPA TRACS Watch Full Video Episode Host Carm Capriotto welcomes Chris Lawson, founder of Technician Find, to discuss one of the biggest challenges facing independent auto repair shops today: finding and keeping great technicians. Chris explains why many shop owners fall into what he calls "fire alarm syndrome," waiting until a technician leaves before starting the hiring process. That reactive approach often leads to rushed decisions, poor hires, and ongoing turnover. Instead, he advocates for an "Always Be Recruiting" mindset, where shops continuously build relationships with potential candidates long before they have an opening. The conversation explores practical strategies for becoming a destination workplace, creating a recruiting pipeline, and building a culture that attracts top talent in a competitive market. What You'll Learn Why reactive hiring creates costly staffing problemsHow to build a bench of pre-qualified technicians before you need themWhy becoming "10-mile famous" can help attract both technicians and customersHow culture-focused marketing can outperform traditional help-wanted adsThe three things technicians value most: respect, growth, and compensationWhy sign-on bonuses often fail and how to structure them more effectivelyPractical ways to engage passive candidates who are not actively job huntingResources available through Chris Lawson's free online community for shop owners The best time to recruit a technician is before you need one. Shops that continuously market their culture, build relationships with local talent, and maintain a pipeline of qualified candidates are better positioned to grow, avoid staffing emergencies, and create a workplace where top technicians want to stay. Recruiting is no longer an occasional task. It is an ongoing business strategy. Chris Lawson, TechnicianFind.Com Love your shop? Stay, but stay ready.

Most people think chiropractic care is only for neck pain, back pain, headaches, sciatica, pinched nerves, stiffness, and injury recovery. And yes — those are common reasons people walk into a chiropractic office.But chiropractic was never meant to be reduced to pain relief. In this episode we talk about how chiropractic got trapped in the “neck and back pain” box — and why the bigger conversation is the spine, nervous system, posture, movement, stress response, brain-body communication, and function.Pain may be what gets your attention, but function is the real goal. We'll discuss how insurance reimbursement helped shape the way chiropractic is talked about, why patients often wait until their body is screaming before seeking care, Chiropractic is not just about chasing symptoms. It's about helping the body function better.In this episode:How chiropractic became known mainly for neck and back painWhy insurance shaped the public story of chiropracticThe difference between pain relief and better functionWhy the nervous system mattersWhy recurring symptoms are signals, not random problemsHow to stop using chiropractic only as crisis careSign up for our newsletter: https://lp.constantcontactpages.com/sl/AwGmSeQ/ChiropracticIsSexyCONNECT w Dr. Ruffin!https://drruffin.com/https://www.instagram.com/drpaularuffin/https://www.facebook.com/drpaularuffinCONNECT w Dr Peabody:https://www.cafeoflifefenton.com/meet-the-doctors/ https://www.instagram.com/drericapeabody/https://www.facebook.com/erica.peabodyDisclaimer: The contents of this video are for informational purposes only and are not intended to be medical advice, diagnosis, or treatment, nor to replace medical care.

This is a previous episode we had to bring back to the top because intuitively... it's what you need to hear most right now!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.Join our $50/mo gym membership for your soul, Unf*ck Yourself Membership! 4 perks, 1 space, weekly energetic healing - https://www.alexandraninfo.com/membershipFOLLOW MEInstagram - 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/id1647393740Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/4OfhtVIbV73xuSrZ2MnXKZ?si=f3fabaa47ca4482eYouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@AlexandraNinfo

What if peace isn't something you earn after everything is fixed—but something you build while everything is still messy?As entrepreneurs, we often chase this idea that once the problems are solved, the goals are hit, and the chaos settles… that's when we'll finally feel calm. But what if that version of peace is just an illusion? What if the real shift isn't in your circumstances—but in how you respond to them?In this episode of Success Genius, we dive into what it truly means to become a more peaceful version of yourself. Not by escaping challenges, but by understanding the deeper connection between your mindset, your habits, and even your nervous system. Because peace isn't just an emotion—it's a state you can actually build and return to.Join me as we uncover a powerful truth: peace doesn't come from having fewer problems—it comes from becoming the kind of person who can handle them without losing yourself. Because at the end of the day, it's not just about what you achieve… it's about who you're becoming in the process.Topics covered in this episode include:The truth about peace as a nervous system state—not the absence of problemsHow chronic stress, urgency, and “drive” impact your body and energyThe 13 character traits that build self-trust, resilience, and inner stabilityWhy identity, integrity, and self-compassion are key to lasting peaceReady to stop chasing calm and start becoming it?

Hello and welcome to Episode 320 of The People Powered Business Podcast.You've hired someone. Finally. After the job ads, the interviews, the back and forth, they said yes and they're starting Monday. The hard part is over, right?Wrong. Almost half of every person you hire won't make it through their first twelve months. Not because they were the wrong person. Because nobody set them up to succeed.I can't quite believe I've barely touched this topic in 320 episodes, because the first 90 days is the most important period of time in determining whether a hire works out, and most small business owners have no plan for it beyond "here's your login and good luck."We treat onboarding like a box to tick when it's actually the foundation of the entire working relationship.In this episode I'm pulling back the curtain on what actually happens in most small businesses during those first 90 days, why it quietly sets new hires up to fail, and what a proper 90-day plan looks like when you're not a corporate with an HR department. I'm also sharing the insight that stops most business owners in their tracks when I share it, because the underperformance conversations you're dreading? A lot of them trace directly back to a broken onboarding. You're fixing the wrong end of the problem.In this episode we cover:Why 46% of new hires don't make it through their first year, and what's really driving that numberThe most common onboarding mistakes small business owners make (including the "fire hose" trap)What a structured 90-day plan actually looks like across weeks, months and milestonesThe single thing that kills good onboarding even when you start with good intentionsWhat to do if someone is already in their first 90 days and things feel offIf you've got someone starting soon and you want to make sure you nail their first 90 days, book a free 15-minute clarity call with me: https://calendly.com/kristyleebillett/chatLinks & Resources:

What if everything you've been told about AI is wrong?In this thought-provoking episode, Jay sits down with Scott Schang to explore a perspective far deeper than tools, automation, or productivity. This is a conversation about a paradigm shift—a true renaissance.Drawing inspiration from Nikola Tesla's vision of a connected world, Scott reframes AI not as a replacement for human intelligence, but as a mirror for it. A collaborator. A challenger. A force that rewards self-awareness over surface-level thinking.Together, they unpack:Why the internet created a “modern dark age” of noise and external validationHow AI shifts power back to the individual thinkerThe danger of asking the wrong questions—and how to fix itWhy most businesses are solving symptoms instead of root problemsHow leaders can use AI to amplify humanity, not replace itThe future of community, connection, and decision-making in an AI-driven worldThis episode isn't about learning how to use AI.It's about learning how to think again.If you're a leader, entrepreneur, or builder navigating what's next—this conversation will challenge your assumptions and expand your lens.Share this with someone who's skeptical… and someone who's ready.

Why Is My Spouse Becoming Cold and Distant from Me?When a spouse feels cold or distant, it is easy to react with more pressure, more honesty about frustrations, or repeated attempts to fix the problem. Those responses often increase defensiveness and emotional distance instead of rebuilding closeness. In this episode, Coach Jack helps listeners look at what may be driving the distance and how to replace unhelpful patterns with behaviors that create safety, connection, and steadier progress.What You'll Learn:How to tell whether the distance may be tied to stress, substances, health issues, an affair, unavailability, or needy behaviorHow to identify relational blind spots that may be pushing a spouse further awayHow to replace criticism and arguing with behaviors that protect closeness while still addressing problemsHow to make gradual, practical changes that help a spouse feel more loved, valued, and emotionally safeBuild a Closer Relationship With Your Spouse: The Re-Connections Coaching Package helps you respond to distance in ways that can improve connection, rebuild emotional safety, and create more closeness in your marriage. It is designed to help you know what to say and do to increase your spouse's desire for you.Emotional distance often has more than one possible cause.Waiting passively rarely improves disconnection.Criticism and arguing can reduce love and closeness.Positive requests, validation, and boundaries are stronger alternatives.Small, consistent changes can create meaningful improvement.Additional Resources:Overcome Neediness and Get the Love You Want, by Jack Ito PhDCoaching ConsultationsContact PageWork one-on-one with Coach Jack to repair your relationship using small, easy steps that rebuild connection quickly.

Influence matters. Leadership matters. And real sales performance depends on both.In this episode of What the Fixed Ops?!, we welcome Christian Younggren, sales trainer and founder of Kaizen Automotive Consulting, to the show.Christian's journey is rooted in decades inside the dealership world. He started in the car business in 1992 as a salesperson, worked his way through finance and management, and eventually became General Sales Manager at Mills Chevrolet. After nearly twenty years in retail automotive, he stepped away from a secure career path to pursue what he felt called to do — train, coach, and develop people in the industry.Today, Christian works with dealerships across the country teaching sales psychology, influence, and leadership — helping teams turn information into real behavioral change.This conversation goes far beyond sales scripts. It's about understanding people, building trust, and creating systems that actually make training stick.This episode will challenge the way you think about training, influence, and what really drives performance inside a dealership.We talk about: Why information is not transformation — and why execution is the real difference-makerThe concept of Kaizen and how 1% daily improvement compounds into massive growth - Why great salespeople are made, not bornThe true definition of charisma: trust, warmth, and competenceThe most common signs of discipline problems on a sales floorThe difference between performative training vs. effective coachingHow the Seven Principles of Influence shape customer decisionsWhy reciprocity, authority, and personalization dramatically improve follow-upThe power of emotional intelligence and adapting to different customer personalitiesWhy leadership — not process — is often the root of dealership performance problemsHow small, thoughtful gestures can build lifelong customer loyaltyChristian also shares a deeply personal turning point — the loss of his mother — that pushed him to leave dealership management and pursue his mission of helping others grow.His message is simple: understand people, improve daily, and close the gap between what we say we do and what we actually do.This is a thoughtful, practical, and inspiring conversation about influence, leadership, and the human side of selling.Global Dealer Solutions offers a network of high-performance providers while remaining product agnostic.

For a long time, I thought the reason people made more money was because they had better strategies, more experience, or more connections.But the biggest shift that changed my income had nothing to do with tactics, it was identity.In this episode, I'm sharing the identity shift that completely changed the way I show up in my work, my business, and the way I make money online. Because the truth is, your income rarely grows beyond the level of identity you're operating from.We talk about:Why most women stay stuck at the same income level for yearsThe difference between strategy problems vs identity problemsHow your self-concept affects the opportunities you attractThe behaviors and habits that quietly cap your incomeThe mindset shifts that helped me move from employee thinking into creator and entrepreneur thinkingIf you've been working hard but feel like your income hasn't caught up to your potential, this episode will help you see what might actually be holding you back.And if this conversation resonates with you, I created a mentorship called Identity to Income where I help women step into the identity required to build a personal brand, create aligned income, and design a life that feels expansive instead of restrictive.If you're tired of starting over every year and ready to actually become the woman you envision, this episode is for you. If this episode resonates and you're ready to take the identity work further, building consistency, visibility, and income that supports your life, you can watch a quick 5-minute video to learn more about how I can help you with my Identity to Income mentorship!I've linked a short 5-minute video explaining the program and who it's for in the show notes.

In this solo episode of The Inflammation Code, I introduce a powerful metaphor that can completely shift how you see your health: the iceberg effect.Most of what we experience — joint pain, fatigue, brain fog, bloating, anxiety, stubborn weight gain — is just the tip of the iceberg.What lies beneath the surface? Chronic, systemic inflammation.In this episode, we go below the waterline and explore why treating symptoms alone rarely creates lasting healing — and how understanding root cause inflammation can change the trajectory of your health.This conversation reflects the core beliefs of this podcast:The Body Speaks — Learn to Listen.Integration Over Extremes.Your Body Is Not Broken — Just Out of Balance.In this episode, we explore:Why symptoms are signals — not separate problemsHow chronic inflammation becomes your body's new baselineThe gut-inflammation connection (and what “leaky gut” really means)How cortisol, poor sleep, and stress fuel the inflammatory loopWhy suppressing inflammation isn't the same as resolving itHow Ayurveda and functional medicine approach true root cause healingThe power of daily rhythm, circadian alignment, and constitution-based careYou'll also hear a real client story that illustrates how seven “separate” diagnoses were actually one underlying issue — and how addressing inflammation transformed everything.If you've ever been told “your labs are normal” but you don't feel normal — this episode is for you.Because once you see the full iceberg, you can't unsee it.And that's when real healing begins.Links + Resources mentioned• Learn more about The Inflammation Code: https://theinflammationcode.com• Take the Dosha Quiz: https://shivanigupta.com• 7-Day Inflammation Detox: https://www.7dayinflammationdetox.com/• This episode is sponsored by Fusionary Formulas - Ayurvedic supplements designed to reduce inflammation, support sleep, and restore balance.Shop at: https://fusionaryformulas.comUse code CODE15 for 15% off your first order.

In this episode, I'm flipping something most doulas were taught completely on its head.More packages do NOT equal more sales.More customization does NOT equal better service.And line-iteming your support might be the exact reason your consults end with “We'll think about it.”If you're walking into consults with three tiers, add-ons, and flexible pricing, you might be handing your clients the clipboard — when what they actually want is certainty.Inside this episode, I break down:Why multiple doula packages dilute authorityHow decision fatigue quietly kills momentumThe difference between selling logistics vs. solving root emotional problemsHow to structure consults that feel grounded, powerful, and alignedThe exact energy shift that makes your packages sell themselvesIf you're ready to stop performing on consults and start leading them — this episode is for you.Struggling to grow your doula business?

Retailers talk about UX. They talk about conversion. But too many still ship digital experiences that a huge part of the population simply can't use.In this episode of the Wonderful Retail Podcast, Marion Ranvier (Executive Director, @Contentsquare Foundation) explains why digital accessibility is not a marginal issue—and why it directly affects conversion, retention, brand trust, and revenue.Marion breaks down:The real scale of accessibility needs (and why the web still fails users)What “inaccessible checkout” actually looks like in the real worldWhy accessibility gaps are often execution problems, not “awareness” problemsHow to build a credible 90-day accessibility plan (audit → training → prioritization → transparency)What businesses can measure today to connect accessibility to ROIWhy inclusive design often becomes “standard UX” for everyone (the TV remote control example)Where AI + inclusive user testing can move accessibility forward—if foundations are accessible firstIf you build or manage ecommerce experiences, this is the episode that forces a hard question:What revenue are you losing because users can't complete your journey?Guest: Marion Ranvier — Executive Director, Contentsquare FoundationTopic: Digital accessibility, ecommerce checkout, compliance, UX execution, ROI, AI + inclusive testing00:00 — Why inaccessible websites lose audiences for good00:23 — Welcome + why inclusion must be part of digital thinking01:19 — The question: why should retailers care about inclusivity?01:40 — Who Marion is + what the Contentsquare Foundation does02:06 — The scale: disability worldwide + “80% of the web” problem02:35 — Ecommerce example: when “Add to bag” becomes unusable03:08 — Research: inaccessible checkout flows + minimum requirements04:19 — Why the Foundation exists + Marion's dyslexia and motivation05:08 — Turning awareness into action: mission pillars (education/research/advocacy)06:34 — Research partnership + studying real behavior (not assumptions)07:36 — Findings: zoom 200%+, keyboard navigation, longer time-to-click08:37 — Business impact: bounce rate, time on site, basket value09:34 — European Accessibility Act + where to start if you're behind10:01 — A practical 90-day plan: audit, training, prioritization11:32 — The seriousness signal: publish an accessibility statement12:25 — The hardest question: proving accessibility ROI14:01 — Inclusive design wins for everyone (TV remote control)14:54 — The future: AI potential + why accessibility must be built in16:24 — Include disabled users in testing + AI personas and insights17:18 — Closing thanks

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

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.”

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. Over time, hard things become habits you love, and those habits transform your family culture. When parents lead with courage and consistency, kids learn they can do hard things with support, purpose, and faith.Connect with Angie Taylor on:IG: https://www.instagram.com/mrsangietaylor/?hl=enFB: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=100090424997350

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. We use it expertly with our patients—but we rarely turn it inward. This week is about changing that.We reflect on:Why unanswerable questions keep us stuckHow asking better questions helps you interrupt autopilot and conditioned overworkingWhy this is not about blaming yourself or ignoring systemic problemsHow small, daily check-ins can fundamentally change how you experience your life and workThis isn't about fixing healthcare overnight.It's about giving yourself back some power today.

If you're in that place right now, you're not alone, and you're not broken.In this special rebroadcast of one of our most impactful episodes, we dive into what we call the Land of Maybe: the exhausting in-between where couples linger for years, hoping things will change, while quietly running out of emotional gas.Here's the truth most people don't hear soon enough: couples wait an average of six years to get help.

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 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.

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...
