The 4 Marketing Buckets Every Private Practice Owner Needs to Know When private practice owners think about marketing, the first thing that usually comes to mind is getting more new patients. But what if more patients aren't actually your biggest constraint? In this episode of the Private Practice Owners Club Podcast, Nathan Shields and Adam Robin take a deeper look at what marketing really means for a physical therapy practice and why thinking beyond physician referrals and paid ads can completely change the way you grow. They break down the four marketing buckets every private practice owner should understand: current patients, past patients, physicians, and the broader community. The conversation goes beyond simply “getting more patients.” They explore how marketing can help you fill a new provider's schedule, launch a new specialty, recruit better team members, build referral relationships, and create consistent lead flow. You'll also hear why simple, consistent action beats complicated marketing strategies and how tracking the right numbers can turn marketing from something you occasionally remember to do into a repeatable system. In this episode, you'll learn:Why “I need more new patients” isn't always the real problemThe 4 buckets of marketing every private practice owner should considerWhy current and past patients are often your cheapest and most reliable marketing channelsHow to use enrollment conversations to generate new opportunitiesHow role-playing can help your team become more comfortable asking for referralsWhy marketing should become an SOP, not a random activityHow volume and consistency create momentum and lead flowHow to identify the key influencers in your communityWhy your ideal patient avatar should determine your marketing strategyHow physicians, chiropractors, trainers, gyms, pastors, and other community leaders can become influencersHow social media can help you reach your ideal patients directlyWhy knowing who you're trying to help makes marketing dramatically easierHow to use simple messaging that actually resonates with patientsWhy consistency and calendaring are critical to successful marketingHow to use video, AI, CRM systems, and social media tools without overcomplicating your strategyWhat to do when hospital systems control a large portion of physician referralsWhy private practices need to pivot instead of making excusesHow developing marketing skills can help with recruiting, launching programs, and growing new locationsWhy the owner's ability to learn, adapt, and develop new skills is critical for long-term growth The biggest takeaway? Marketing doesn't have to be complicated. Know who you want to help. Know where they are. Start conversations. Create value. Show up consistently. Track what works—and keep doing it. Because when the market changes, those who know how to pivot will survive.

An operator overheard one of his own guys at the pay station telling a customer: just sign up, you can cancel. He pays five dollars a signup. Most car wash owners pay some version of that, and it's the reason their membership churn looks the way it does.That employee didn't do anything wrong. He did exactly what he was paid to do.Your comp plan is the clearest thing you will ever say to your team, and it's the only thing you say that they get paid to hear. If a signup is worth five dollars and a member who stays eleven months is worth nothing, you're going to get signups. You're just not going to keep them.In this episode of The Car Wash Growth Playbook I break down why most car wash membership churn starts at the pay station, and what to pay your team for instead.We cover:What a signup-only bonus is actually buying you, and what it isn'tWhy the customer who cancels in month three was never a retention problemThe reason your best retail customers are getting tired of your teamWhy a membership is the wrong product for some of the people you're selling it toHow an aggressive membership promo can quietly demoralize your managersWhat to add to your comp plan so retention has a reason to matterHow to get a nineteen-year-old to care about a number that pays out a year from nowThen I get specific about the behaviors worth rewarding right now, this week. Somebody greeted ten regulars by name on a Saturday shift. Somebody spotted a guy struggling in the vacuum bay and walked over without being asked. Somebody took an upset customer and turned it around so well he came back.None of that shows up on a report. All of it is retention.And the one that proves whether your team believes you: the first time somebody on your crew passes on a signup because it wasn't a fit, thank him out loud, in front of everybody. Until they see you celebrate a signup you didn't take, the retention talk is just talk.━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Over the last year, I've coached more than 125 business owners and their sales teams across property and real estate, financial services, insurance, marketing, fitness, construction, design and more.Different businesses. Different customers. Different price points.But remarkably similar sales problems.In this solo episode, I'm breaking down nine of the biggest lessons I've learned from going inside these businesses, reviewing how they sell and helping them improve their results.Expect to learn:Why you might have a sales process problem rather than a sales problemThe discovery mistake I see salespeople make constantlyWhy communicating value doesn't mean your prospect actually sees itWhy most closing problems start much earlier in the conversationHow consistency creates a healthier pipelineWhy structure can create more sales confidence than charismaHow your pipeline directly affects your psychology when sellingWhy so many good opportunities die during follow-upWhy great selling looks increasingly like leadership rather than persuasionThese lessons don't operate independently.Your prospecting affects your pipeline. Your pipeline affects your mindset. Your discovery affects how you communicate value. Your value affects objections. And all of it influences how easily you can guide someone towards a decision.That's why I increasingly think about sales as an operating system rather than a collection of individual techniques.Resources & SponsorsSales.OSThe complete sales operating system for prospecting, discovery, positioning value, closing, follow-up, objections, referrals and more. https://sossalesandscaling.com/ Take the FREE 4-Minute Sales AuditFind out exactly where your sales process is leaking revenue and what to fix first. https://colinsales-vygp2xak.manus.spaceVitaMonthGet 50% off your first month with code CAMBRO. https://vitamonth.uk/ Connect with ColInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/col.cambro/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/colcampbell1/Email List: https://colcambro.kit.com/30bde23b0c

We know ecommerce brands doing $200,000 a month on Meta ads with a negative 5% profit margin, losing $10,000 to $20,000 every single month. They got past $100K without fixing five things first, so now they're starting over at the foundations.In this episode, Josh and Dylan get into the five things you have to fix while you're still in the $30K trench, drawn from six years of coaching and more than 700 ecommerce businesses.Inside this episode:The five economics Josh treats as non-negotiables (gross profit margin, AOV, break even ROAS, ad spend percentage, net profit margin) and the ranges he calls healthy vs. excellentWhy under 50% gross profit margin almost never scales, and the one kind of business that gets away with itThe one-line math for your break even ROAS (and why a 30% margin has you chasing a 3.33 that no account holds at scale)The median AOV, CPA, and cost per click across high-spend brands inside Breezeway, and why a $23 CPA can sit right next to a 1.4 ROASThe welcome offer pop-up conversion rate to hit, what it says about your offer if you're under it, and why being over it is also a problemThe five email flows to build out of the gate, and why getting email to 20 to 30% of revenue works like a raise on your Meta performance without touching your adsThe cash management system that explains why the profit on your P&L never matches your bank balance, plus Josh's rules on which debt is worth taking and which one buries brandsWhy scaling while you're sitting at your break even number is the fastest way to run a bigger business for freeIf you're at 30K a month and the plan for the next level is just more ad spend, listen to this one first.

For twenty-nine years, Mia Hanks believed that if she just held on a little longer, things would eventually get better. They never did. Behind a marriage that looked, to the outside world, like a life with a charming, generous man was a quieter reality: a husband who grew angry when she was sick, controlled every dollar she touched, and slowly convinced her that she was the one who was too sensitive, too much, too wrong.That is covert narcissism, and Mia Hanks understands its texture better than most. A survivor of narcissistic abuse and author of the memoir Bridesmaid, Hanks joins the Quiet Warrior Podcast to describe what nearly three decades inside that marriage actually looked like, and why understanding the difference between covert and overt narcissism, financial abuse, and the isolating effects of a smear campaign can help someone still inside a relationship like hers recognize the door long before they walk through it.Questions AnsweredWhat is covert narcissism, and how is it different from overt narcissism?Why do empaths and introverts often make easy targets for narcissistic abuse?What are the early warning signs of a covert narcissist?Why does it take so long, sometimes decades, to leave a narcissistic relationship?How does financial abuse keep survivors trapped in a marriage?What is narcissistic personality disorder, and is it a diagnosable condition?How does a smear campaign work once a survivor leaves, and why do mutual friends often side with the narcissist?How can someone begin planning a safe financial exit from a relationship with a narcissist?Key TakeawaysThe quiet strangeness of being met with anger instead of care whenever she was sick, and how that one small, repeated moment was an early sign of a much larger patternThe relief of finally being validated by a therapist after twenty-eight years of believing she was the problemThe specific ache of watching mutual friends side with the person who caused harm, and the slow realization that those friendships were never truly hers to loseRecognizing that the cage door had never been locked, and why that truth did not make leaving any easierThe quiet, practical courage of setting aside small amounts of cash at the grocery store, one of the first steps toward an eventual exitUnderstanding narcissism as a pattern that worsens with age rather than one that resolves itself with time, patience, or the next phase of lifeChapters (approx.)00:00 — Introducing Mia Hanks and her story00:19 — Where Mia sits on the introversion-extroversion spectrum01:29 — What narcissism actually is, and why empaths make easy targets03:03 — Covert versus overt narcissism: why the covert type is harder to spot04:05 — The first red flags, and why they were easy to explain away06:28 — The turning point: declining health and a therapist's validation09:25 — How family support made a difference10:23 — Why it took twenty-nine years to leave13:23 — Financial control and financial abuse inside the marriage14:22 — How the children experienced the marriage15:37 — The smear campaign, and losing mutual friends after the divorce19:41 — The cage metaphor: why an unlocked door isn't the same as an open one22:06 — Writing Bridesmaid: filling the gap left by clinical, academic accounts23:40 — What she wishes her younger self had known24:26 — Advice for anyone currently in a relationship with a narcissist25:39 — Planning a financial exit, one small step at a time26:50 — Where to find Mia Hanks and her booksAbout Mia HanksMia Hanks is a survivor of narcissistic abuse and the author of the memoir Bridesmaid, which shares a first-hand account of life inside a marriage to a covert narcissist.

Today they run 34 to 40%, and once you add advertising most brands are at 50 to 60% before they reinvest a dollar. For the first time in years, the number of sellers on Amazon is shrinking.Tyler, head of Amazon at Pilothouse, is back to explain what he calls the Amazon paradox: you can't afford to be on Amazon, and you can't afford not to be.If you sell on Amazon, buy Amazon ads, or keep putting off the decision to launch there, this is the operator's version of the math.What you get:Where the 40% actually goes, and which parts of it you can still fightThe hidden fee stack (long-term storage, inbound, freight, returns, chargebacks) that quietly takes another 5 to 8% of margin, one fraction of a percent at a timeReimbursements: Amazon loses and damages inventory and wrongly charges you for it, and will pay it back if you dispute it. Most brands never doAGL / AWD, shipping straight from your manufacturer into Amazon's fulfillment network, and the 2 to 5% freight savings that comes with itWhy the April 15 change (Amazon pulling ad spend out of your disbursement instead of your credit card) is a cash flow problem, not an ad problemThe death of the middle: half of Amazon's GMV now sits with roughly 8,000 sellers, down from 15,000, and what changed in the algorithm to cause itCosmo and what comes after A9: why external traffic into your listing now reads to Amazon as brand authorityNike showed up.

For years I heard the same thing from every woman I worked with. I don't have time. And I used to believe it too, until I figured out what was actually running underneath it. In this episode I'm breaking down why "no time" is almost never really about time, and what's actually keeping you stuck.In this episode:Why "I don't have time" is a trauma response, not a scheduling problemThe belief system I see in almost every woman who feels stuck (even the successful ones)Why more information and more knowledge won't fix this, and what actually willThe identity pattern that keeps women needing a deadline or event to get in shape, then falling off afterHow to start rewiring your nervous system starting today, with one simple shift in how you think about timeWhy waiting for the "right time" is actually the thing keeping you from ever getting thereSupport the showHosted by Casey Shipp — 3000+ transformations, Self-Made Millionaire, High Priestess, Writer, Fitness Cover Model, and Founder of the Hotbody App.$30M client wins | $7.8M sold onlineRich isn't rare.

We just got back from nine days in Florida. It was the first non-sports vacation we had taken in three and a half years.That number stopped me cold when I said it out loud. Not that we hadn't gone anywhere — we'd been everywhere, for tournaments. But a trip that existed for no reason other than to step away? Three and a half years.The trip got built around Christopher, who is a Chiefs fan, and a preseason game against the Bucs on August 22nd. Beach in Treasure Island. A Rays game. The Bucs game in Tampa. Then Orlando — water parks, Discovery Cove, Mickey's Halloween Party. Somewhere in the middle of it was a Friday where I sat on a beach from 9:30 in the morning until four in the afternoon and did nothing at all.I have not done that in years. And if you have heard me talk about the trip to Aruba my husband surprised me with for my 40th — the one where I panicked because he didn't check with my office first — you know that stepping away from my firm has never come naturally to me.This time was different, and I want to be precise about why. It wasn't willpower. It wasn't a mindset trick. It was that I have spent the last stretch working hard on delegating — with Kim, in my coaching work — and I have built a team in my office that can run without me standing over it. I checked email. There were a few client matters I handled. But the office did not need me, and I felt that for the first time.The realization on the other side of it is the part I'd want you to take: the work was still there when I got back. Nothing was a crisis. Nothing fell apart. Which means it probably wouldn't have any of the other times either.The second half of the episode is about the other thing that made the trip work — habits. I have built health and wellness habits over years, and this was the trip that proved what they're for. I packed my supplements by the day. I finished my progressive overload program in the hotel gym. And then I made a decision I have never made before: I did not start my next program on schedule. I waited until I got home, until I could do it right. Who is this person, honestly.In this episode:Why "I can't step away" is usually a team problem, not a discipline problemThe delegation work I've been doing — and the version of CEO I'm still building towardWhat actually happens when you leave: the honest inventory of what broke (nothing)How built habits let you travel without falling off — and why flexibility is the habit, not the enemy of itThe phone lockers at the water park, and the difference I could see in my kids within hoursIf you own the business and haven't taken a real break in years, this one is for you. Send it to someone who needs to hear that the world will keep spinning.

What if the behavior you keep correcting is only the alarm, while the real fire is still burning?In this episode of the 4 Fit Fatherhood Podcast, Rod Richard sits down with Geoff Owen, founder of Biologically Aligned Parenting and author of The Parenting Assumption, for a challenging conversation about child behavior, discipline, emotional regulation, and the atmosphere fathers create at home.Geoff presents the view that defiance, withdrawal, aggression, and over-compliance can act as signals that a child feels unsafe or uncertain. He asks parents to pause before adding pressure, check the emotional state they brought into the room, listen without forcing a conversation, and give children space to reconnect.Rod and Geoff discuss:The difference between being in the room and being presentWhat your children feel when you bring work stress homeWhy behavior may be a signal instead of the source of the problemThe question, “Would I want to hang out with me right now?”How to respond when a teenager talks back or withdrawsGeoff's views on punishment, rewards, boundaries, apology, and repairThe kind of relationship fathers can build with their adult childrenYou may agree with Geoff, disagree with parts of his approach, or still be processing it. The question worth taking home is simple: When your child struggles, are you responding only to the behavior, or are you paying attention to what may be happening underneath it?Connect with Geoff OwenWebsite: https://www.geoffreyowen.com/The Parenting Assumption: https://www.amazon.co.uk/PARENTING-ASSUMPTION-Geoff-Owen/dp/B0GT8QYF3JConnect with 4 Fit FatherhoodCoaching, resources, and community: https://stan.store/4fitfatherhoodSubscribe, share this episode with a father, and leave a review.

You Might Not Have an AI Problem—You Might Have an Operating System ProblemI've spent a lot of time teaching AI this week, and I noticed something that completely changed the way I think about AI in business.Almost everyone is using AI—but very few entrepreneurs are actually building with it.If you're using ChatGPT or Claude to write emails, brainstorm content, research ideas, or help with a random task, you're not doing anything wrong. I do those things too. But there's a much bigger opportunity hiding beyond the one-off prompts.In this episode, I'm breaking down the four levels of using AI in your business: from simply chatting with AI, to giving it context, building repeatable systems, and ultimately integrating AI into the way your business actually operates.And if you've been feeling like you're “behind” on AI, I want you to hear this: you probably aren't behind. You may just be using AI at the wrong level.Things I Cover:Why most entrepreneurs don't actually have an AI problem—they have an operating system problemThe 4 levels of AI in business: Chat → Context → Systems → IntegrationWhy giving AI better context can be more powerful than searching for the “perfect prompt”How to turn AI from a tool you occasionally use into a role within your businessThe difference between using AI for a single task and building a repeatable AI systemHow AI can support your calendar, inbox, CRM, meetings, content, team, and client follow-upWhy chasing every new AI tool could actually be slowing you downThe one question I want you to ask before hiring another person or adding another toolHow to identify ONE repetitive process in your business that AI could help you build once and use repeatedlyWhy the biggest AI advantage may not belong to the entrepreneur who knows the most tools—but to the one who knows where AI belongsYour ChallengePick one thing you do over and over again in your business.Instead of asking, “How can AI help me do this today?”Ask: “How can I build this once so AI helps me do it every time?”That shift—from using AI to building with AI—could completely change the way you operate.If this episode gave you a new perspective on how you're using AI, share it with another entrepreneur who needs to hear this.And if you're ready to start building AI into your actual business, connect with me on Instagram at @itsraquelq for resources, workshops, and ways to start building the systems behind your business.Build better.

Ask a question hereIn the conclusion of this two-part Mythbusting Wednesday conversation, Natalie Hood sits down with Erik Knight to discuss his move from Watershape University to Pool Brain—and the bigger problems he hopes to help solve.The pool industry has more education available than ever, but is that actually part of the problem? New technicians are often buried under chemistry, equipment, software, procedures, and safety information before they have enough hands-on experience to understand how it all fits together.Erik explains how guided workflows and point-of-need education could help technicians produce better results from the beginning while developing a deeper understanding over time. Instead of three days riding shotgun followed by “Here are the keys—try not to turn anything green,” technology can provide structure, consistency, and some desperately needed early wins.Natalie and Erik discuss:Why technician turnover is highest at the entry levelWhether the education gap is really an education-overload problemThe weaknesses of traditional pool-company onboardingWhy hands-on learning creates knowledge that actually sticksUsing software to reinforce education instead of replacing itPool Brain's approach to guided workflows and chemistry recommendationsUsing historical data to predict future pH and water behaviorWhy experience—not intelligence—allows seasoned technicians to anticipate problemsAutomation as a force multiplier for pool professionalsHow technology can free technicians to develop higher-value skillsWhy automation equipment can become a profitable service-company revenue streamThe value of competition among software companies and education providersErik's continued relationship with Watershape UniversityWhat attracted him to Pool Brain's long-term visionWhy professional software requires more than an AI-generated interfaceInflation, rising equipment costs, and the need for greater efficiencyRoute optimization, properly stocked trucks, and eliminating costly supply runsErik also addresses the fear that technology will eventually replace the pool professional. Automation may handle repeatable tasks, but it cannot change filter sand, clean a DE grid, diagnose complicated equipment problems, or replace the judgment developed through real experience.Better technology does not eliminate the need for education. It can remove some of the repetitive bullshit, help new technicians succeed sooner, and give experienced professionals more time to solve complicated problems, serve better customers, and operate more profitable routes.Erik's goal at Pool Brain is straightforward: simplify what makes the job unnecessarily difficult, help pool professionals deliver safer and more predictable water, and give company owners the tools to become more efficient, profitable, and—God forbid—occasionally get home before dark.

Have you ever moved the same task from Monday's list to Tuesday's list...then Wednesday's...and by Friday you're pretty sure that task has taken up permanent residence there?Meanwhile, you've accomplished 47 other things.So why do you still feel behind?My guest Megan has a name for this: time debt. And once she explained it, I started seeing it everywhere.It's a lot like financial debt. You begin today already owing yesterday, and tomorrow you'll owe today too. Pretty soon, no amount of crossing things off feels like enough.For parents, especially moms carrying work, kids, appointments, meals, household responsibilities, and all those invisible things somebody has to remember, that can get exhausting FAST.But here's where this conversation got especially interesting.What if the problem isn't that women need to get better at productivity?What if some of the productivity systems we've been told to use simply weren't designed with women's lives or biology in mind?Megan and I dig into some fascinating territory in this conversation, including:Why an unfinished to-do list can create time debt that compounds from day to dayHow “productive procrastination” can have you organizing a drawer while avoiding the task that actually mattersWhy advice like “Eat the Frog” might not solve the real problemThe surprisingly important reason Megan recommends doing a time audit before trying another planning systemWhy putting your commitments somewhere visual can make you think twice before saying, “Sure, I can do that!”How women's biological cycles and caregiving responsibilities may make some traditional productivity systems a poor fitThe startling change in how many young women report feeling overwhelmed compared with college freshmen decades agoWhat you may need to stop doing, not just organize better, if you actually want to get out of time debtAnd that last one may be the hardest.Because we parents are very good at asking, “How can I fit this in?”We're perhaps not quite as practiced at asking, “Should this be on my list at all?”If you've ever ended a very productive day wondering why you still feel like you failed, this conversation may give you a completely different way to look at your calendar, your expectations, and that task you've moved to tomorrow for the fourth time.Resources We Mention for Time DebtCheck out Megan's TOP Program and the TOP Program for StudentsGet her free training here to start figuring out that time debt situation!Watch my first interview with Megan on to-do listsWorkshops with Megan are available in #LifeSkillsNow Seasons Two and ThreeDenise Albright has some really fun and colorful planners and visual planning products!

For high achievers, pushing harder can become a way of life. You wake up thinking about what needs to get done. You move from responsibility to responsibility. You bring work energy home. Even when you finally have a chance to rest, part of you is still switched on.In this episode of Rewiring Health, I'm joined by Deri Llewellyn-Davies for a powerful conversation about performance, burnout, purpose, fear, recovery, and what it really takes to live well when you're wired to achieve.Deri grew up in a small rural village in Wales, where community and shared responsibility were simply part of how life worked. That early foundation shaped the way he later approached leadership, pressure, and decision-making.Over the past three decades, Deri has advised and sat on more than 330 boards, becoming known for identifying the real constraint beneath the noise and helping founders and organizations think more clearly when the stakes are high. His signature Strategy on a Page methodology became a number-one bestseller and has helped thousands of founders scale with greater clarity and purpose.But Deri's understanding of performance didn't come only from the boardroom.He has also spent years testing the limits of human performance in extreme environments—climbing six of the world's highest mountains, completing the Marathon des Sables, racing Ironman, and facing moments where survival itself was uncertain.Those experiences became a kind of laboratory for understanding what happens to the mind and body under pressure—and why some of the same traits that help high achievers succeed can eventually become the very things that exhaust them.That intersection of leadership, extreme performance, neuroscience, and lived experience led Deri to create Ultra States, a framework built around a simple but powerful idea:You are always in a state.The question is whether you chose it.Through Ultra States, Deri explores the distinct states of focus, flow, connection, recovery, and peak performance and why sustainable success depends less on forcing yourself to perform constantly and more on learning how to move intentionally between them.In this conversation, we explore:-Why ambition itself isn't necessarily the problemThe difference between pushing from purpose and pushing from fear-Why burnout can happen when you stay in one dominant state for too long-How to create the conditions for flow instead of waiting for it to happen-How your physiology can overpower even the strongest mindset work-Why reaching for your phone first thing in the morning can immediately affect your state-Why attaching your identity too tightly to achievement can become dangerousDeri also shares the deeply personal experiences that shaped his philosophy, including the death of his father, confronting regret, facing life-threatening moments in extreme environments, and learning through fatherhood how easily intensity can follow us from work into the relationships that matter most.Connect with Deri:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/thestrategyman/X: https://x.com/thestrategymanConnect with KellyTake the FREE Self-Abandonment AuditDiscover where you're unintentionally abandoning yourself—and begin rebuilding self-trust.

Most parents would do anything for their child. But what happens when love isn't the same as feeling understood?In this episode of Normalize the Conversation, Francesca Reicherter sits down with John Trautwein, founder of the Will to Live Foundation, whose 15-year-old son, Will, died by suicide.Through remarkable honesty, John shares what he wishes he had known before losing his son—and how that experience transformed the way he approaches parenting, communication, and mental health.Together, Francesca and John discuss:Why children often stop sharing what they're really feelingHow validation can be more powerful than fixing the problemThe importance of asking better questionsWhy peers and “life teammates” play a critical role in mental wellnessHow parents can create conversations that reduce shame and isolationSmall acts of connection that can make a lasting differenceWhy talking about depression and suicide doesn't create risk—it creates opportunity for supportFrancesca also shares her own lived experience with depression and the moments that helped her survive, making this conversation deeply personal while offering practical guidance for families, educators, coaches, and anyone who wants to better support the people they love.If this episode resonates with you, please follow Normalize the Conversation, leave a review, and share this episode with someone who could benefit from it.Because the conversations we avoid are often the ones that matter most.ConnectJohn Trautwein:  www.johntrautwein.comFrancesca Reicherter (host): francescareicherter.com

Send Vanessa a text or a voicemail!What if the way you walk, stand, load your feet—or even grip the ground—is telling a story about far more than your feet? This is not simply an episode about foot pain. In fact, you don't need to have foot pain at all to get something from this conversation.Today I'm joined by Dr. Jen Perez of Gait Happens, a chiropractor whose work centers around functional movement, biomechanics, gait and lower-extremity assessment, for a fascinating conversation about what the feet can reveal when we stop looking at them in isolation. We talk mechanics, gait, loading, recoil, footwear, and orthotics—but we also go somewhere conversations about the feet rarely go: the nervous system.How might fear change the way we move? What does compensation tell us about what the body has adapted to? Can our mental and emotional experiences influence the way the body moves, protects, and holds on? And what happens when a diagnosis stops being something we have and slowly becomes part of who we believe we are?Gait Happens has spent the last decade helping change the conversation around foot health, filling a much-needed gap in education and challenging us to think beyond the conventional, isolated approach to pain and dysfunction.In this episode:Why foot pain isn't always simply a foot problemThe two-way relationship between the feet and the rest of the bodyThe fascinating connection between the feet, gait, and nervous systemWhat the way someone walks and carries themselves can tell usSurprising signs of fight-or-flight that may show up through the feetFear of movement and how pain can change the way we moveAdaptation, compensation, and the body's ability to protectThe mental and emotional components of painWhy language matters when talking about pain and the bodyGait, loading, recoil, and healthy foot mechanicsFootwear as a tool (not a universal prescription)The nuance around orthotics and individual needsWhat Dr. Jen looks for in footwearBuilding capacity and resilience rather than simply chasing symptomsConnect with Dr. Jen & Gait Happens:Gait Happens YouTubeGait Happens InstagramGait Happens Toe SpacersGait Happens Toe StrengthenersBe Lenka Barefoot Shoes — Use code GAITHAPPENS for discountAltra RunningSUPPORT INTENTIONALLY WELL: A few of my current favorites: Mitolife Vitamin C — My go-to vitamin C.

If you've ever stared at the list - Instagram, Reels, SEO, cold pitching, LinkedIn, email, networking - and felt completely overwhelmed about where to even start, this episode is the one. The question of where to focus your marketing is one we get asked constantly, and the honest answer isn't a single platform. It's a framework for figuring out what actually fits you.In this episode, we give you the real state of play on Instagram, SEO, and pitching in 2026 - what's changed, what still works, and what's probably not worth the energy you're giving it. Because the right marketing strategy isn't the one that's working for everyone else. It's the one that fits your personality, your clients, and the way you actually work.Topics we cover on photography marketing strategy:Why marketing overwhelm is usually a clarity problem, not a capacity problemThe honest state of Instagram for food photographers in 2026 - what it's good for and what it isn'tWhat's changed with SEO since our previous episodes about marketingCold pitching as a direct client marketing strategy - mindset, method, and making it personalThe LinkedIn-to-email bridge: how to use LinkedIn as a prospecting tool, not a pitching platformWhy your existing network is your most underrated marketing channelA four-question framework for building a strategy you'll actually stick toPermission to experiment — and how long to give something before deciding it isn't workingFocus & Flourish, Photography Business Talk is a podcast for food photographers and creative entrepreneurs who want to build structured, sustainable, and profitable businesses.

If a quiet January makes your stomach drop, pull up a chair. I am giving you a behind-the-scenes peek at the session I recorded for the 2026 Black Friday Summit, which runs August 25 through August 27, and my session takes a different angle than most of the others you will see there. The other speakers walk you through a Black Friday that already happened. I am walking you through the plan I am building right now for my own photography business, before the cart ever opens.Here is the tough love I lead with: panic marketing is a pricing problem wearing a marketing costume. Quarter one is slower than molasses for most of us, and when January shows up with an empty calendar and no plan, we start slashing prices to get somebody, anybody, on the books. Thinking ahead is a skill you can train, not a personality trait you were born with, so in this episode I am spilling the tea on the seven steps I am working through for my own branding photography sale. Mostly, go grab your seat at the summit so you can catch the full session plus every other speaker! https://blackfridaysummit.com/What you'll learn in this episodeWhy panic marketing in January is a planning problem, not a marketing problemThe two money questions to answer before you choose a single Black Friday offerWhy I am selling ONE offer this year instead of discounting my whole menuThe booking chain I build and test by early September so I never answer an availability emailAnd so much more!Resources & Links Mentioned In This Episode▸ Read the full blog post that goes with this episode (that way, you get all the links mentioned): https://systemsandworkflowmagic.com/black-friday-plan-for-photographers/▸ Get your free ticket to the Black Friday Virtual Summit: https://blackfridaysummit.com/Connect with Me (Dolly DeLong Education)

We're not going to tell you the food photography market isn't crowded. It is. You've felt it - the comparison spiral, the 'why would anyone pick me over them' moment, the sense that there are more talented photographers than ever and less room to be seen. That's real. But here's the reframe: Saturation isn't what stops you. Getting lost in the comparison game is. And that's a completely different problem to solve.In this episode, we dig into what standing out actually means - not being louder, more prolific, or more experimental, but being unmistakably recognisable to the right clients. We talk about the comparison trap, the identity layer that tactics have to be built on, practical ways to differentiate, and how to stay relevant over the long term without chasing every trend. Because the photographers who thrive in a crowded market aren't the ones who panic about competition. They're the ones who go deeper into their own direction.Topics covered on standing out as a food photographer:Why a crowded market is a mindset problemThe comparison trap - how it works against distinctiveness, and how to step out of itWhat 'standing out' actually means: visibility vs. recognitionThe identity assets that can't be copied - and how to lean into themPractical differentiation: niche clarity, process, brand voice, and consistencyHow to stay relevant over time without chasing every trendThe mindset shift from monitoring competition to going deeper into your own directionFocus & Flourish, Photography Business Talk is a podcast for food photographers and creative entrepreneurs who want to build structured, sustainable, and profitable businesses. Hosted by Marta Grabowska and Linda Hermans, the show combines real-life experiences with practical strategies around marketing, pricing, workflows, and mindset - helping creatives step into their CEO role and grow with clarity and confidence.

It's easy to walk out of a rushed appointment, an unexplained bill, or a denied claim and quietly blame the person in the white coat. Doc G (Doctor Jordan Grumet), the hospice physician and longtime Stacking Benjamins favorite, argues that's exactly the wrong target, and that the confusion isn't an accident. Somewhere between the insurance company, the pharmaceutical company, the private equity firm, and the electronic records system, a lot of people are getting paid, and the two groups actually providing and receiving care are left holding the bag. Here's the good news: almost nobody appeals a denial, and appeals win far more often than you'd expect. This episode gives you the real playbook.What You'll Walk Away WithThe exact first move to make when a claim gets denied, and why documenting it matters more than people realizeWhy a procedure can get pre-approved and still get denied months later, and what to save to protect yourselfA simple "who do you call first" framework for untangling a prescription, billing, or coverage problemThe pharmaceutical industry trick of repackaging old drugs as "new" ones, and the one question that sidesteps it completelyHow to spot whether your doctor's office is privately owned or backed by private equity, and why it changes the care you getWhy so much unnecessary testing exists purely to protect doctors from lawsuits, not to protect youThe real math on insurance appeals, and why giving up is exactly what the system is counting onWhy This Matters NowHealthcare confusion isn't just an annoyance, it's a real financial risk hiding in plain sight. A denied claim, a surprise bill, or a medication that suddenly isn't covered can undo months of careful budgeting in a single afternoon. The difference between losing that fight and winning it usually isn't luck, it's knowing the specific, doable steps to push back before you give up. This isn't about becoming your own doctor or insurance expert. It's about not getting steamrolled by a system that's counting on you not knowing what to do next.From the BasementA story about FedEx's founder famously saving the company with a lucky night at a Vegas blackjack table becomes the day's trivia detour, and somehow ties neatly back into an episode all about refusing to give up when the system says no.Resources MentionedThe Healthcare Heist by Jordan Grumet, MD — Doc G's new book on fixing the doctor-patient relationshipEarn & Invest podcast — Doc G's award-winning personal finance podcastSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Some stories stay with you long after you've heard them........This is one of them.In this deeply honest conversation on One For The Road, Peter shares the extraordinary journey that led him from a childhood surrounded by alcoholism, addiction and chaos to finding lasting freedom through sobriety. Growing up in West London, Peter experienced neglect, trauma, poverty and instability from an early age. As the years passed, he built what appeared to be a successful life, great career, nice cars, marriage and family;But beneath the surface, unresolved childhood pain quietly shaped every decision he made.Alcohol eventually became more than a drink. It became an escape.Peter opens up about how drinking masked decades of emotional wounds, the collapse of two marriages, living behind carefully constructed "masks", and the moment he realised that stopping drinking wasn't the end of the journey, it was the beginning of healing.This episode is a powerful reminder that recovery isn't simply about putting down the bottle. It's about rebuilding your identity, understanding your past and learning to live with honesty, connection and purpose.In this episode we discuss:Growing up in a home affected by alcoholism and addictionThe hidden impact of childhood traumaHow neglect shapes self-worth and identityLiving behind masks and becoming the person you think others wantWhy success, money and material possessions couldn't fix the painAlcohol as a coping mechanism rather than the real problemThe collapse of relationships through addictionThe difficult first year of sobrietyWhy unresolved trauma often resurfaces after quitting alcoholFinding healing through connection, journaling and honest conversationsBecoming the father he always wanted to beWhy life genuinely gets better without alcoholKey TakeawaysChildhood experiences can influence our adult behaviours far more than we realise.Alcohol often becomes a solution to emotional pain rather than the root problem.Sobriety is about much more than quitting drinking—it's about learning who you really are.Healing from trauma takes time, patience and honest self-reflection.It's never too late to change your life or repair relationships.Recovery isn't about becoming perfect—it's about becoming authentic.Resources MentionedWhat Happened to You? by Oprah Winfrey & Dr Bruce PerryJournaling as a recovery toolPeer support and sober communitiesTrauma-informed recoveryIf you enjoyed this episode please consider following the podcast, leaving a review and sharing this episode with someone who may need to hear it.Recovery is possible, and every conversation helps break the stigma around alcohol, trauma and mental health.If you want to connect with me via Instagram, you can find me on the instahandle @Soberdave https://www.instagram.com/soberdave/or via my website https://davidwilsoncoaching.com/Provided below are links for services offering additional help and advice.www.drinkaware.co.uk/advice/alcohol-support-serviceshttps://nacoa.org.uk/Thank you for listening to One For The Road.

What if the biggest challenges in your life aren't actually about money, health, your career, or even your relationships with other people?In this episode, Milli shares the one realization that changed everything: every struggle is ultimately a relationship issue.

Through personal stories and powerful insights, you'll discover how your inner world shapes your external reality, why self-trust and self-compassion are the foundation for everything else, and how changing your internal relationship can transform every area of your life.If you've ever felt stuck in repeating patterns, struggled with relationships, or wondered why lasting change feels so difficult, this episode will give you a completely new perspective.In This Episode, We Cover:Why every problem is actually a relationship problemThe three relationships that determine your quality of lifeHow your relationship with yourself shapes every other relationshipWhy your beliefs become the filters through which you experience lifeThe connection between self-trust, nervous system safety, and emotional resilienceHow changing your inner world transforms your outer worldWhy healthy relationships begin with self-leadershipThe role of manifestation as a reflection of your relationship with yourselfHow to identify the stories and beliefs keeping you stuckQuestions to ask yourself if you want lasting change

There is a huge messaging problem that happens all the time with Nonprofit leaders that is virtually invisible to us, and yet can be incredibly costly. And I don't want that to be happening to you. But the truth is, it probably is, at least with some of your decisionmakers.  Here's how you know that it's happening. If you have any decisionmakers who still aren't getting it about what you really do and the impact of it and its value, there is most definitely a hole in your messaging.  When they're not getting it, the very first place to look is your messaging around the problem you solve. And here's why. The truth is decisionmakers will not care one bit about your solution if they don't first care about the problem that you solve. Part of the problem is we tend to think that the problem is obvious, that everybody already gets that. And so we jump right to the solution. We start right in with, "Here's what we do. Here's who we help. Blah, blah, blah."  But the fact is, most decisionmakers do not go around thinking every day about the problem that you solve, and it's very unlikely they understand the level of impact of the problem in the way that you do. They're not going to be listening to how great your solution is if they don't first think that the problem is important, serious, and urgent to solve. If they don't think those things, then all your cool information about how you solve it and the wonderful results that it produces, just slides off them. Because in their head, they're like, "Yeah, but it's not that big a problem, so whatever."  And more to the point, if they don't think the problem you solve is important, serious and urgent, why would they ever invest in your solution? In this episode, we share:The primary causes of decisionmakers not understanding the problemThe three messaging elements that will get decisionmakers to see the problem you solve as important and urgentThe vital question you must ask multiple times as you develop your messaging around the problemThe most common unhelpful belief decisionmakers have that causes them to disregard the problemThe critical ingredient to add to your messaging to disrupt those unhelpful beliefs   If you found value in this episode, please share it with other progressive nonprofit leaders.  And I'd be grateful if you would leave a rating and review on Apple podcasts, which will help even more people find out about this podcast.Thanks!

How many times have you looked back at a decision and thought, "I knew it from the beginning"?Not because you didn't know what to do.Because you overrode the part of you that already did.In this episode, I unpack one of the most quietly expensive patterns I see in high-achieving women. The habit of outsourcing your own knowing. Looking for more proof. Asking for one more opinion. Talking yourself out of the signal that was there from the very beginning.We explore why self-trust isn't about confidence or certainty. It's about learning to honor yourself even when doubt is present. Because every time you override your own knowing, you're not just delaying a decision. You're weakening the relationship you have with yourself.If you've ever found yourself saying, "I knew it," after it was too late, this episode will help you understand why that pattern exists and how to finally begin changing it.What You'll HearWhy self-trust is not actually a confidence problemThe difference between self-trust and self-certaintyWhat the "override loop" is and how it quietly disconnects you from yourselfWhy you keep looking for more proof when you already know the answerHow childhood experiences teach us to stop trusting our own voiceWhy honesty builds self-trust more than getting the decision rightThe personal story that changed my relationship with trusting myself foreverThe simple three-step practice for rebuilding self-trust one decision at a timeWhy women who trust themselves naturally become magneticOne Line to Sit With"Self-trust is not the absence of doubt."Think about one decision you've been sitting on.Not the one everyone else has an opinion about.The one where, deep down, you already know.Notice where you feel it in your body.Ask yourself one simple question:What does this signal need from me right now?Then honor it.Even if it's one small step.Because every time you choose your own knowing over the override loop, you strengthen the relationship you have with yourself.Clip-Worthy Moments"When was the last time you listened to yourself and actually acted on it?""It's not a confidence problem. It's a pattern problem.""Self-trust is not the absence of doubt.""You do know what's best for you.""You cannot shift what you can't see. But once you see it, you absolutely can shift it.""The pattern protected you. And now it's the very thing that's keeping you from the life that you say you want.""It costs you more than the wrong decision. It costs you the relationship with yourself.""Honesty is the foundation. Not accuracy.""When you're not at war with yourself anymore, you're magnetic.""You're not broken for struggling to trust yourself. It's a pattern. And patterns can shift."Want To Go Deeper?If this episode helped you recognize your own override loop, imagine what becomes possible when you can see the patterns beneath every decision you make.That's exactly why I created The Mirror™.It's an AI-powered self-discovery experience built on The Unblocked Method™ that helps you uncover the hidden patterns shaping your thoughts, behaviors, and decisions so you can stop repeating them and start trusting yourself again.Mentioned in this EpisodeThe Mirror™The Unblocked Method™The Unblocked Women's CollectiveIf This Hit You in The ChestSave this episode for the next time you catch yourself asking everyone else before listening to yourself.Then send it to the woman who's tired of second-guessing what she already knows.ConnectInstagram: @its.amysandersWebsite: www.amysanders.coThe Mirror™: https://amysanders.co/mirrorThe Unblocked Women's Collective: https://amysanders.co/collectiveEmail: support@amysanders.co

Someone put an IUL illustration in front of you. Maybe it was pitched as "market upside with no downside." Maybe as a "Roth IRA on steroids." Maybe as a way to "be your own bank." And now you're trying to figure out whether any of that holds up, or whether whole life, term, or a Roth IRA actually makes more sense. There's one question that organizes all of it: who carries the risk? With whole life, the insurance company carries it. With an IUL, the risk shifts to you. Everything else in this comparison follows from that single distinction: cost structure, cash value reliability, policy loans, and retirement income. https://youtu.be/JxJqweiyXwU This article covers IUL vs. whole life, IUL vs. term life, IUL vs. a Roth IRA, and the narrow case where an IUL is actually the right call. The goal isn't to tell you IUL is bad. It's to help you see clearly what you're choosing and what job you're asking it to do. Key TakeawaysWhere Does the Risk Live?What's guaranteed vs. what's projectedIUL vs. Whole Life: The Core ComparisonThe cost-of-insurance problemThe 0% floor misunderstandingCaps, participation rates, and spreadsEndowmentLapse ratesIUL vs. Term Life: Two Very Different JobsIUL vs. Roth IRA: The "Tax-Free Income" Pitch, ExaminedWhy IUL Falls Short for Infinite BankingThe double-dip problemLoans on an unstable baseSimplicity vs. active managementWhen an IUL Actually Makes SenseThe Right Tool for the Job You Actually HaveFrequently Asked QuestionsWhat is the main difference between IUL and whole life insurance?Is IUL better than whole life for Infinite Banking?Is an IUL better than term life insurance?Is an IUL a good alternative to a Roth IRA?Can you lose money in an IUL even with the 0% floor? Key Takeaways Whole life offers three contractual guarantees: guaranteed death benefit, guaranteed cash value, and guaranteed premiums that will never increase. An IUL uses flexible premiums, a variable cost of insurance, and index-linked crediting subject to caps, participation rates, and spreads the insurer can adjust annually. The "zero is your hero" floor only protects against negative index crediting. It doesn't protect against cash value declining due to rising internal costs. IUL is structurally incompatible with Infinite Banking, which requires guarantees. The risk you're trying to move off your shoulders needs to land somewhere solid. IUL can make sense for a narrow, specific purpose, but that purpose is not banking. Where Does the Risk Live? Both products are permanent life insurance. Both build cash value. Both offer tax advantages. That's exactly why people assume they're interchangeable, and exactly why the distinction matters so much. With whole life insurance, the risk of delivering on the policy's promises sits inside the insurance company. You pay your premium. They handle everything else. With an IUL, that risk shifts to you, through index performance, variable costs, and a contract the insurer can adjust every year. Here's a quick test: look at the contract length. A whole life contract is often 50 to 80 percent shorter than a universal life contract. The extra pages are disclosures explaining all the ways the insurer is not responsible, because that responsibility has moved to the index and to you.  On whole life, only you can make changes within the contract's provisions. The insurer can't touch your maximum premium, your guaranteed death benefit, or your guaranteed cash value.  On an IUL, the insurer can change cap rates, participation rates, spreads, and required premiums at each anniversary date. That's not a loophole. It's in the contract. What's guaranteed vs. what's projected Whole LifeIULDeath benefitGuaranteedConditional on continued fundingCash valueGuaranteed minimum dollar amountProjected, not guaranteedPremiumsFixed, will never increaseFlexible; insurer can require moreGrowthGuaranteed rate + non-guaranteed dividendsIndex-linked crediting, subject to caps and adjustable annuallyWho manages itThe insurerYouWho carries the riskThe insurance companyMore risk shifted to the policyholder Nelson Nash, the founder of the Infinite Banking Concept, was direct about this: never use a universal life product to take the banking function into your life. A bank runs on guarantees. The insurance product acting as your bank should too. IUL vs. Whole Life: The Core Comparison Whole life is built on guarantees. An IUL is built on a projection. That's the practical difference between knowing your cash value five years from now and running an illustration that depends on index performance, rising costs, and terms the insurer can revise annually. The cost-of-insurance problem Whole life spreads the mortality cost evenly across the life of the policy. It endows at age 120 or 121, so the math is known, the premium is level, and it's fixed from day one. An IUL uses annual renewable term costs that increase every year. Cheap early, expensive later. As you age, that rising cost eats into cash value faster. If the index underperforms, the insurer can require more premium to keep the policy alive, or it lapses. The 0% floor misunderstanding "Zero is your hero" implies you can't lose money. What it actually means is that index crediting won't go negative. But the policy's internal costs still come out: rising cost of insurance, fees, and charges. In a flat year, your cash value can decline even though the index "didn't lose." A floor on crediting is not a floor on cash value. Caps, participation rates, and spreads When the index performs well, you don't capture all of it. A cap sets a ceiling on credited gains. A participation rate credits only a percentage of the gain. A spread withholds credit on the first portion. Some contracts use one mechanism, some use all three. All of them can change every anniversary date. The upside story in the illustration isn't what you're guaranteed to keep. Endowment Whole life endows at age 120 or 121, meaning cash value and death benefit meet at that point, and a living insured is paid the full value out. The policy has a known end point, so the company can calculate and guarantee your cash value at every step. An IUL doesn't endow. There's no guaranteed future cash value figure at all. That's the number a banking strategy depends on knowing. Lapse rates Research from 2021 by Gottlieb and Smetters, published in the American Economic Review, found that 88% of all universal life policies never pay a death benefit. LIMRA's extrapolated data suggests whole life lapses at roughly 60% (Research published in the American Economic Review). The data involves extrapolation, but the direction is consistent: universal life lapses significantly more often, and rising costs over time are a major reason why. For a real-world example of what can go wrong, see our post on the Kyle Busch IUL lawsuit. IUL vs. Term Life: Two Very Different Jobs Term life is pure death-benefit protection. No cash value, lower cost, and it expires. For many families covering a defined window, a mortgage, kids at home, and years to retirement, that simplicity is a feature. Term does exactly what it says it does. An IUL is permanent insurance with a cash value component. But the cost of insurance inside an IUL behaves like an annual renewable term that increases every year. You're paying rising-cost term coverage embedded inside a more expensive, more complex wrapper. That reframes a common pitch: the IUL sold as "term you can get back." Once you understand the internal cost engine, that framing looks very different. When a term policy lapses, it usually means the coverage window was intentional. That's a plan working as designed. When an IUL lapses, something failed. The thing that promised to be permanent didn't make it, and it usually happens at exactly the wrong time. If the job is affordable protection for a defined period, term does it more honestly and more cheaply. Don't buy an IUL believing it's simply a better version of term. IUL vs. Roth IRA: The "Tax-Free Income" Pitch, Examined IULs are frequently sold as a Roth alternative: "tax-free retirement income with no contribution limits." It's worth looking at that honestly. A Roth IRA offers genuinely tax-free growth and qualified withdrawals. Full market participation, no cost-of-insurance drag, no lapse risk. The tradeoff is annual contribution limits and income phase-outs that exclude higher earners. An IUL offers fewerIRS contribution limits, tax-advantaged access through policy loans, and a death benefit. In exchange, you take on capped and adjustable upside, layered fees, a rising cost of insurance, lapse risk, and ongoing management requirements. The mechanism that matters most: the "tax-free income" from an IUL comes from borrowing against non-guaranteed cash value. If the policy lapses while loans are outstanding, the gain can become taxable at the worst possible moment, in retirement, when income options are most constrained. An IUL might add value for a high earner who wants an additional tax-advantaged bucket and a death benefit, and can fund it aggressively for 15 or more years. Even then, it's a complement, not a replacement.

That's the whole point of the Wealth Creator's Cash Flow System: deploy capital, borrow against a foundation you can plan around, repay, and repeat. That only works if the numbers are certain. Infinite Banking isn't about maximizing return inside

In Part 1 of this conversation, Kyle and Sara talked about how AI is changing childhood and why parents need to stay curious, connected, and informed. In this Part 2 conversation, they get practical. Kids are already using AI for homework, writing, studying, brainstorming, advice, and entertainment. So the question is no longer, “Should my child ever use AI?” The better question is, “How do we teach our child to use AI wisely?” Kyle and Sara discuss how parents can guide kids toward healthy AI habits before those habits form on their own. They talk about homework, cheating, age-appropriate use, privacy, red flags, AI literacy, and how to create a family approach rooted in connection instead of fear.This episode will help parents think through how AI can support learning without replacing effort, struggle, responsibility, or independent thought. In this episode:When AI helps with homework and when it becomes a problemThe difference between helpful support and outsourcing the struggleHow AI use may look different by ageRed flags parents should watch forWhy privacy matters when kids use AIHow to teach kids that AI can sound confident and still be wrongHow to begin creating healthy family guidelines around AI View the full podcast transcript at: https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/ai-homework-and-kids-how-to-use-ai-without-letting-it-do-the-thinking-for-them Visit our website and social media channels for more valuable content for your parenting journey. Resource Website: https://www.artofraisinghumans.comVideo Courses: https://art-of-raising-humans.newzenler.com/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/artofraisinghumansInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/artofraisinghumansPodcast Website: https://www.theartofraisinghumans.comBook List:https://www.artofraisinghumans.com/booklist The Art of Raising Humans podcast should not be considered or used as counseling but for educational purposes only.

Chronic pain is often treated as though it is purely a physical problem — an injury, a joint issue, a disc problem, inflammation, or degeneration.But for many people living with persistent pain, the real picture is far more complex.In this episode of Beyond The Pain, I speak with pain management expert Hany Demian about why chronic pain often needs to be understood through a much wider lens — one that includes the body, mind, emotions, stress, lifestyle, inflammation, nervous system sensitivity, and the person's overall health.Hany shares his own journey into medicine, the limitations he began to see in conventional pain management, and why he became increasingly interested in cellular health, regenerative medicine, and more holistic approaches to healing.We discuss why pain is not always just about the place where it hurts, why mindset and emotional stress can influence recovery, and why nutrition, movement, sleep, inflammation, oxidative stress, and lifestyle choices may all play a role in whether someone gets better or remains stuck.This is not about saying pain is “all in your head.” It is about recognising that persistent pain is often a whole-person problem — and therefore recovery may need a whole-person approach.In this episode, we discuss:Why chronic pain is often more than just an injury or structural problemThe limitations of conventional pain management when root causes are missedHow inflammation, oxidative stress, and lifestyle stress can contribute to persistent painWhy mindset and emotional health can influence chronic pain recoveryThe role of nutrition, movement, sleep, and stress management in healingWhy some people struggle to recover even after injections, procedures, or medicationHow taking a more proactive role in your health can support long-term pain reliefIf you are living with chronic pain, persistent pain, back pain, joint pain, or ongoing symptoms that have not fully responded to conventional treatment, this episode will help you think differently about what may be driving your pain — and what you may be able to do about it.Connect with Dr Hany:Website - https://drdemian.comInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/drhanydemian/YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@drhanydemainConnect with Leigh:Beyond The Pain book - https://amzn.to/44ArJxTBeyond The Pain 14-Day Programme - https://bodychek.co.uk/beyond-the-pain-programme/Pain-Free Plate Free Guide - ⁠https://www.bodychek.co.uk/freepainguide/⁠Consult with Leigh - ⁠https://www.bodychek.co.uk/⁠consultation

Most coaches think they have a marketing problem.They don't.They have a sameness problem.In this episode, Kellan explains why AI isn't destroying coaching—it's exposing coaches who never built a truly unique identity in the first place. If your message sounds like everyone else's, if your methods are borrowed, or if you're competing on visibility instead of distinction, you're already losing.The future belongs to people who cannot be duplicated.Discover what it really means to become a Category of One, why embodied authority matters more than polished marketing, and how your lived experience—not another certification or content strategy—is your greatest competitive advantage.If you're a coach, consultant, entrepreneur, or creator wondering how to remain relevant in an AI-driven world, this conversation will challenge the way you think about your business forever.Key Takeaways:Why marketing cannot solve a sameness problemThe coming impact of AI on the coaching industryWhy becoming "the best version of everyone else" is a losing strategyThe meaning of becoming a Category of OneEmbodied authority versus borrowed expertiseBuilding an unmistakable coaching methodWhy your personal story creates your greatest valueHow AI amplifies originality but replaces generic workCreating a body of work that cannot be commoditizedThe future of transformational coaching

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist podcast, Molly continues the series When Drinking Less Feels Hard, looking at the real-life challenges that make drinking less feel difficult through the lens of Alcohol Core Beliefs.This week's focus is the belief Alcohol Is My Reward—the thought that shows up at the end of a hard day, a long week, while cooking dinner, on vacation, or anytime alcohol feels like the treat you've earned for getting through something. Molly explores why this belief can feel so reasonable, how the brain learns to associate alcohol with reward and transition, and why drinking less can feel like deprivation when alcohol has become the main way you mark completion, rest, or pleasure.Before the episode, Molly also shares a reminder about Mostly Dry July-The Daily, which includes daily support, weekly group coaching calls, weekly brain boosts, and a private daily podcast to help you practice drinking less with peaceful mindfulness and without all-or-nothing thinking.  www.mollywatts.com/mostly-dry-july  In This EpisodeWhy alcohol can become tied to end-of-day and end-of-week ritualsHow the brain learns to predict alcohol as a rewardWhy “I deserve this” is often a clue, not a problemThe difference between true reward and coping in disguiseHow alcohol can represent completion, freedom, pleasure, or feeling like something is finally yoursWhy expanding your reward system is essential for drinking lessHow to use See, Soothe, Separate, and Shift with the belief Alcohol Is My RewardKey TakeawayYou deserve reward, pleasure, rest, and celebration. But alcohol may not be the reward you actually deserve.The reward you deserve is one that restores you, supports you, and helps you feel cared for in the moment and proud of yourself later.Listener PracticeChoose one reward-drinking moment: the end of the day, Friday night, cooking dinner, vacation, or after finishing something hard.Ask yourself:What am I trying to reward?What do I want this reward to give me?Will alcohol actually give me that, or is there another way to create it more honestly?Then practice creating one real reward before alcohol. It might be quiet, rest, movement, food, connection, or a nonalcoholic ritual.Resources MentionedMostly Dry July-The DailyAlcohol Core BeliefsSee, Soothe, Separate, ShiftAlcohol Minimalist Facebook groupLow risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Join the Guildwww.imnotquitting.com You've lost the weight before. Maybe more than once. And every time, it comes back. You've decided the answer is a better diet, more discipline, or finally finding the right plan.I'm here to tell you it's none of those things. You've been running the wrong number of plans.In this episode, I lay out the core philosophy behind my entire approach to sustainable weight loss: you don't need one plan, you need two. One to lose the weight. One to build the life that keeps it off. The diet was never going to fix it on its own — it was only ever going to fix half of it.We get into why those two plans run on completely different physics, why discipline works on one and fails on the other, and the relay-race metaphor that explains why so many people sprint to their goal weight only to gain it all back. I also walk you through the six structural components of the lifestyle plan that most weight loss programs never even mention.If you've been losing the same thirty pounds for years, this episode is going to reframe what you've been doing — and why it keeps not working.In this episode:Why most weight loss plans only solve half the problemThe difference between a weight loss plan and a lifestyle change planWhy one is finite and the other runs for the rest of your lifeThe “different physics” of brute force vs. structural changeThe relay-race handoff that determines whether the result lastsThe snap-your-fingers question that exposes the real problemThe six components of the lifestyle that quietly drove the weight gainWhy running both plans together, with weight loss turned down a notch, is what actually works

"I finally realized I was not paying for a service. I was paying for hope. And hope is not a business strategy."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! Fair warning — host Dan Irvin is ruffling some feathers in this one. In this solo episode, he takes on one of the most common "shortcuts" speakers chase: the speaker bureau.Dan has personally signed up with about a dozen of them. Paid the fees, built the profiles, sent the demo reels, connected with the reps. Total paid gigs booked across all of them? Zero. Meanwhile, he's doing 40+ events a year using the exact process he teaches at The Speaker Lab. So either he's unbookable — or something about the bureau model is broken. In this episode, he breaks down exactly what bureaus are actually selling, who they actually work for, and what to do instead.You'll hear about:Why the bureau pitch is so appealing — and why it almost never delivers what it promisesThe difference between a booking machine and a listing service (most bureaus are the second one)The four things bureaus won't help you with: positioning, marketing assets, coaching, and actual speaking experienceWhy the speakers who get booked through bureaus are almost always speakers who were already booking themselvesThe bureau is an amplifier, not an engine — and why most speakers have the order completely backwardsDan's personal nine-month bureau experiment: paid the fee, sent everything, got zero leads — and a vague email when he finally asked what they'd done with his profileThe story of a woman who signed with three bureaus, paid onboarding fees, and started wondering if she was even cut out for speaking (she was — the system was the problem)Why the bureau model quietly destroys speaker confidence by making you think you're the problemThe three things that actually get speakers booked: owning your system, working with guides who are in the trenches, and building the wraparound infrastructureWhy the talk is only 15% of the equation — and how bureaus won't touch the other 85%And much, much more!"Stop renting somebody else's process. Build your own. That is where the freedom is. That is where the income is. That is where the calendar full of gigs you actually want comes from."Tried a bureau and hit a wall?

Prices are up. Budgets are tighter. And people are making some surprising choices about what stays and what goes. The woman skipping the new laptop and the graduation dress is still booked for a Disney cruise, a Bruno Mars concert, and a trip to Lake Erie. It turns out inflation doesn't just squeeze your wallet -- it forces a conversation about what you actually value. Joe, OG, Paula Pant, and Doc G dig into where people are drawing the line, why experiences outlast stuff in the happiness research, and what each of them refuses to give up no matter what.What You'll Walk Away WithWhy people cut the easy stuff first -- and why that strategy relieves anxiety without actually solving the budget problemThe research behind experiences vs. stuff: why the memory of a trip gets rosier over time while objects depreciate in more ways than oneDoc G's spending happiness continuum -- from stuff to experiences to becoming a better version of yourself, and why the last one costs the leastWhy OG's DoorDash experiment was a two out of ten in year-to-date success -- and why four people pulling the rudder in the other direction mattersThe "build from zero" budget reframe that feels more empowering than cutting from the top downOne roundtable member's rule that nothing is ever truly off the table when cash gets tight -- including the house and the private schoolWhat each panelist will never go cheap on -- and one answer involving prescription medications that lands differently than you'd expectThe expenses that are dead to each of them -- and where Joe, OG, Paula, and Doc G land on first class flights and DoorDashWhy the client who cut all Christmas spending had the best holiday season of their lifePapa John's quarterly earnings data that tells you exactly how inflation is changing behavior at the menu levelWhy This Matters NowIf you're in your 40s and you've started quietly trimming things -- streaming services, delivery apps, clothing budgets -- but haven't touched the bigger stuff, this episode names what's actually happening. The question isn't whether to cut. It's whether the things you're cutting are the ones that matter least. That's a values conversation, not a math conversation, and this roundtable is one of the better ones the basement has had.From the BasementJoe, OG, Paula Pant, and Doc G dig into a Wall Street Journal piece on how Americans are changing their spending habits -- and the conversation quickly becomes about what money is actually for. OG reports that his attempt to eliminate DoorDash from the family budget has been going poorly. Doc G went to Bali in coach. The year-long trivia competition takes a dramatic turn as OG's precise mathematical reasoning leads everyone to the wrong answer -- and Doc G wins by going lower. Johnny Carson's guest host strategy turns out to be the missing variable nobody accounted for.Resources MentionedWall Street Journal -- "Where Americans Are Drawing the Line on Price Increases" by Rachel Wolff; linked at stackingbenjamins.comAfford Anything podcast -- Paula Pant; Joe joins most Tuesdays for listener Q&AEarn and Invest podcast -- Doc G (Jordan Grumet); recent episode with Carrie Jorn Grimes on The Joy of MoneyStacking Benjamins Vault -- stackingbenjamins.com/vaultStacking Benjamins Community -- stackingbenjamins.com/basementSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
