This week's conversation on professionalism begins with the news that retired four-star Navy Admiral Robert Burke was found guilty in a bribery scheme involving directing a government contract to a private company in exchange for a job after his military retirement. He is the most senior US military officer found guilty of a federal crime while serving on active duty. But while this conviction is unique, lapses in professionalism happen at all levels in every organization, aren't always punished, and often aren't even caught. Tony's three decades of research into human behavior and his interest in history shaped his unique insights into the evolution of craftsmanship into professionalism and the descending trajectory of the latter in our modern world. Join us for the historical origins of professionalism, his assessment of its current state, and his recommendations for improving the situation, regardless of your rank, sector, or industry.

What defines true toughness in coaching? Dan Perlmutter presents an alternative to the “tough strength coach” stereotype, reframing success as adaptability, resilience, and relentless positivity. As Director of Sports Performance and Head Olympic Sports Performance Coach at Duke University, Perlmutter reflects on building a strong culture rooted in genuine relationships and longevity. He explains Duke’s structured approach to developing interns and coaching assistants, highlighting purposeful recruiting and intentional mentorship to transform passion into professionalism. Perlmutter emphasizes a gratitude lens and people-focused philosophy, always prioritizing the athlete in front of him. He also addresses how strength and conditioning coaches can navigate collegiate shifts, such as Name, Image, and Likeness (NIL) deals and the transfer portal, by reinforcing the weight room environment and culture. If you are seeking practical strategies to build a sustainable career and a workplace you look forward to each day, this conversation is your blueprint. Connect with Dan via email at dan.perlmutter@duke.edu and on Instagram: @theothercoachp | Meet the Duke University Sports Performance Staff on their website | Find Eric on Instagram: @ericmcmahoncscs and LinkedIn: @ericmcmahoncscs Show Notes“I think it's just making sure that we really, intentionally focus on helping each other out, taking care of each other, working together, filling each other's gaps as staff, right, so that if we really legitimately care about those things […] then it kind of blends into all the things that we do with our athletes. And they see us doing that and functioning that way. And it helps our teams function that way. So maybe it contributes to the team cultures for each sports program here, too.” 7:20 “It takes pretty tough, resilient people to do this work. And everybody finds that toughness and that resiliency in different ways. And I think maybe over the years, there's been a stereotype of what the tough strength coach looks like. That's not what I'm talking about at all. I'm talking about somebody who is willing to stick it out in tough situations, willing to work really long hours, willing to pivot a million times a day, and adapt a million times a day, and be out in the cold, and then be inside, and then be out in the rain. And all the different challenges that are thrown at us as professionals in this field-- I look at every single one of those as positives. I'm annoyingly positive and optimistic. I'm sure some of the folks around here get sick of me talking this way, but I think there's opportunity in every one of those situations.” 14:45 “One of the big pieces of advice that I would give to young folks who are on the job search right now or figuring out what lane they want to go down is to not forget that this is a people-focused profession. And it's not just you leading or serving athletes. You've got to find a place that you really connect the people that you're-- connect with the people that you're going to work with every day.” 15:58

"When you start doing what everybody does, it's hard to be noticed any longer. Professionalism gets you noticed." Notable Moments 00:40 "Stories That Work" Event Recap 04:57 Embrace Professional Etiquette 07:34 Professionalism Over Expertise 11:16 Importance of Professional First Impressions 15:20 Encourage Open Conversations Time and time again I see people underestimate the power of professionalism. Unfortunately, it ends up stalling their careers before they've even hit their stride. During our latest conversation, I shared how critical it is to set expectations for professionalism, whether you're running a classroom or leading a workplace team. I believe that professionalism is showing respect, being reliable, and paying attention to the details. Those can make or break first impressions, as well as shape your entire reputation. I learned this early on in my own career, thanks to mentors who stopped me before I made missteps in dress and behavior. The classroom example we discussed hit home. Students weren't waiting their turn, interrupting others, and leaving early. My advice: lay out the rules clearly from day one. Make professionalism just as much a part of your teaching as the subject matter. It's the same in the workplace. If you don't make it clear what's expected, chaos creeps in and opportunity slips away. Remember, your reputation starts with the small things, the details others notice but never mention. If you're a leader, teacher, or even a parent, don't shy away from the tough conversations about professionalism. It matters more than people realize, and it's often the reason some move ahead and others get left behind. Teach those soft skills such as reliability, courtesy, and awareness. By doing that you are setting people up for real, lasting success. Remember, being just “one of the herd” won't get you noticed; professionalism will.

Ever wonder what Starbucks' green apron can teach us about Multifamily?In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, I unpack a quiet revolution happening at Starbucks under their new CEO — black attire returning to the forefront to let the iconic green apron shine. It's branding. It's intentionality. It's leadership.And it got me thinking…What's our green apron in the Multifamily industry?Have we relaxed too far post-COVID?Have we traded consistency and professionalism for comfort?I reflect on the days when dress codes were the norm — when career apparel wasn't a buzzkill but a badge of purpose. Today, we walk into leasing offices and see everything from casual Friday to “did you forget you work in leasing?” And while this isn't a knock on anyone, it's a call to reimagine how we show up — for our teams, our brands, and most importantly, our customers.This isn't about fashion.It's about storytelling.It's about packaging.It's about pride.What message do we send when we present ourselves well? When our team attire becomes a visual handshake that says, "We take this seriously"?Maybe it's time we found our own green apron.Like this kind of industry insight?Hit that like button, subscribe to the channel, and join the conversation in the comments below.We're just getting started.

Let's call it what it is — professionalism is fading.And it's making leaders across industries flat-out exhausted.In this episode of the Multifamily Collective, Mike Brewer continues the “Thereby” series inspired by Old-Fashioned Leadership by Britton Douglas and David Woods — spotlighting a root cause of fatigue in the workplace: a lack of maturity and professionalism.We're not just talking about “kids these days.”We're talking about five generations in the workforce.We're talking about blurred lines between casual and careless.We're talking about team members who show up without presence, without polish, and without respect for process or people — including supplier partners.And it's not just bad form.It's bad for business.Because when the basics of maturity and professionalism fall apart, everything else follows — from customer service to internal communication to culture. But when leaders hold the line? Thereby, you create clarity, consistency, and a company worth belonging to.Mike lays it out with practical wisdom from years in the trenches and a simple reminder: If you want a professional result, you have to act like a professional.If you value straightforward leadership talk that challenges the norm,hit like, subscribe, and share this with a teammate who's building something that lasts.

Episode 147. This is my opinion when it comes to politics and business. If we could all be open to discussion instead of stereotyping and yelling, how much of a better world would we have? Being open minded and looking at differences of ideas as an opportunity to discuss and learn is how adults communicate.The following link will take you to our Podcast links, YouTube, social media, and email:https://linktr.ee/peaksigningSupporting our sponsors supports the podcast:CRM: https://learn.loansigningsystem.com/masterclass-5998?am_id=derek68631-on-1 Notary Coaching: https://notarysuccesspath.com/coaching-program448866?am_id=derek820Loan Signing System http://loansigningsystem.com/?afmc=3ewComplete Notary Mentorship https://www.loansigningsystem.com/notary-signing-agent-mentorship.html/?afmc=3ewNotaryAct Ejournal https://register.notaryact.com/peaksignings/

Please don't rage kill me you're not a cunt.   ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - from Scout 389 - Gentlemen, I've been a longtime listener of the show and have made multiple purchases of firearms, and products based of the recommendations provided by the cast. I've blown the budget on stuff from Swampfox, Gideon, Midwest, Brownell's, etc. One of the things that I never spent the money on was Second Call Defense. I always told myself that "I'll pick it up later". That is until a couple of weekends back when a family member of mine got into a shooting. He was hit but managed to kill his attacker. And while it is currently looking like it was a case of justified self defense, it really hit home to me that a.) This could happen any time, any where, and b.) Every bullet that you fire in this type of situation has a lawyer attached. The next day I signed up for Second Call Defense. I wish I would have done it sooner, but at least I am covered now. Thank you for the recommendation and for the great show. Also, Jeremy is a cunt.

The record of physicians standing up for their values as healers under authoritarian regimes is not good, whether it's Nazi Germany, the former Soviet Union, or Iraq, with behaviors ranging from assisting in torture, to psychiatric hospitalization for political reasons. And sadly, it's often without any coercion. More subtly, physicians may go along with authoritarian regimes' demands, thinking they can just "stay above the fray."  But is that possible? Already, other professional institutions, including academia and law, have struck deals in the hope they they can move on, rather than defend academic freedom or long-standing legal principles.   What's in store for medicine? Some might say “not much” -- physicians must simply continue to take good care of their patients. But some are already acceding to orders to abandon care to certain populations, including trans people and refugees; or to compromise privacy. And professional organizations are saying little about looming cuts that would curtail access to care for millions of Americans. One scholar of authoritarianism, Timothy Snyder has written, “When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become more important. Authoritarians need obedient servants.” In this episode, two physicians wrestle with what those commitments are, and how we hold on to them.

In this episode, I had the privilege of sitting down with Barbara Meza, Director of Human Resources at Taylor Farms and Taylor Harvesting, to talk about her inspiring journey in agriculture and leadership.Barbara opens up about starting her career at Ocean Mist Farms to help support her family and how that role unexpectedly turned into a lifelong passion—especially after becoming a single mother. She candidly discusses overcoming self-doubt, navigating a male-dominated industry, and the power of programs like the Women Ag Academy in building her confidence and sense of community.Through stories of mentorship, personal growth, and resilience, Barbara shares the pivotal moments that shaped her—like being entrusted with building an HR department and learning to reframe even the most tedious work tasks with deeper purpose. She also opened up about being raised by a strong single mother, facing painful judgment from family, and using that adversity to push herself further. Her mother—who also worked in ag—instilled in her a deep sense of professionalism, integrity, and compassion. It was powerful to hear how those early lessons continue to shape her leadership today.This conversation is a powerful reminder that growth comes from discomfort, confidence is often seen before it's felt, and when women support women, amazing things happen.Barbara Meza: https://www.linkedin.com/in/barbara-meza-phr-87064250/Kirti Mutatkar, President and CEO of UnitedAg. Reach me at kmutatkar@unitedag.org, www.linkedin.com/in/kirtimutatkarUnitedAg website - www.unitedag.orgUnitedAg Health and Wellness Centers - https://www.unitedag.org/health-benefits/united-agricultural-benefit-trust/health-centers/Episode Contributors - Barbara Meza, Kirti Mutatkar, Dave Visaya, Rhianna MaciasThe episode is also sponsored by Brent Eastman Insurance Services Inc. - https://brenteastman.comBlue Shield of California - https://www.blueshieldca.comElite Medical - https://www.elitecorpmed.comGallagher - https://www.ajg.com/SAIN Medical https://sainmedical.com/MDI Network - https://www.mdinetworx.com/about-us
