In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik sits down with Rich Ashton to unpack the real reason small businesses stall. Leadership gaps. Rich shares what he learned across a 45-year career acquiring and turning around small businesses. Hiring “experienced” leaders from outside often fails because they miss the realities of small business and they can break trust with internal teams. Promoting great employees can fail too when people get a title without training. Rich explains how self-imposed limitations show up in frontline employees. From emotional baggage and self-doubt to the belief that “I'm just a technician.” He also lays out what actually works. Practical support, direct feedback, consistent leadership conversations, and a culture rooted in shared values. If you want to build leaders who can run the business without you, this is the blueprint. About the Guest: Rich Ashton is a longtime entrepreneur and operator who developed an internal leadership training program after repeatedly seeing outside hires fail and internal promotions struggle. He is the author of “Growing Your Own. Common Sense Advice for Developing Leaders in Small Business.” Key Takeaways: Outside hires can flop in small businesses because they do not understand the pace, constraints, and culture. Internal promotions fail when people are expected to lead without training and real coaching. Self-imposed limitations often sound like “I'm not leadership material” or show up as emotional reactivity and low confidence. Some employees never saw leadership modeled at home or at work. That shapes what they believe is possible for them. Leadership growth works best as a step-by-step process. Not a one-time workshop. Make development mentally safer by pairing support with clear accountability. Kind but direct beats vague and “nice.” Connection comes first. Leaders get better results when they understand what makes people tick. A simple operating rhythm matters. Rich used bi-weekly leadership blogs and then forced discussion in meetings. That unlocked real behavior change. If you are a business owner you are not automatically a leader. Build your own leadership skills or get help fast. Shared values like integrity, customer service, and employee empowerment create culture alignment and reduce leadership friction.

Butyrate, a short-chain fatty acid produced by gut bacteria that ferment dietary fiber, helps improve metabolic health by enhancing insulin function, regulating glucose levels and supporting healthy body composition Unlike most cells that use glucose, colonocytes (the epithelial cells that line your colon) prefer butyrate for energy, converting 70% to 80% through beta-oxidation to maintain gut barrier health Promoting butyrate production through fiber intake is beneficial, but only if your gut is healthy. If your gut is compromised, starting with dextrose water before transitioning to whole foods is recommended Lifestyle factors significantly impact butyrate production, with chronic stress, smoking, excessive drinking and antibiotic overuse reducing beneficial gut bacteria and SCFA production Excessive linoleic acid consumption, common in processed foods and vegetable oils, reduce beneficial gut bacteria, negatively affecting gut and metabolic health

In this short segment of the Revenue Builders Podcast, HubSpot co-founder Brian Halligan pulls back the curtain on the uncomfortable truth of scaling: there is no magic inflection point—only relentless progress, painful setbacks, and self-inflicted potholes. Brian shares how HubSpot embraced a “Pothole Report” mindset to identify unforced errors before they became existential threats, why most scaling failures are internal, and how long-term thinking—not quick exits—shaped HubSpot into a generational company. It's a masterclass in founder mindset, operational discipline, and playing the long game in hypergrowth.KEY TAKEAWAYS[00:00:25] There is no magical hire, partnership, or customer that suddenly fixes everything—success is a grind, even in the best moments[00:01:13] The road to scale is filled with setbacks, many of which are self-inflicted rather than caused by competition[00:01:58] The “Pothole Report” helped HubSpot systematically identify mistakes, root causes, and missing metrics before small issues became big failures[00:02:32] Promoting too fast without protecting core functions can quietly break critical systems like customer support[00:03:27] In hypergrowth, people, systems, processes, and products don't scale naturally—everything eventually breaks[00:04:28] No system, process, or role lasts more than three years without needing to be rebuilt or replaced[00:05:12] Contrary to startup mythology, acquisition opportunities are rare—even for successful, fast-growing companies[00:06:20] Founders often optimize for “local maxima” instead of anchoring their ambition against truly global category leaders[00:07:17] Aligning founder expectations early—especially around time horizon and exit scenarios—enables long-term conviction and focusQUOTES[00:00:25] “Every happy moment's been a grind.”[00:01:13] “So many setbacks along the way. So many unforced errors.”[00:01:58] “Here's all the potholes we have—and almost all of them we caused ourselves.”[00:03:27] “In hypergrowth mode, nothing scales. Everything breaks.”[00:04:44] “No person lasts longer than three years. No system, no process, no nothing.”[00:06:42] “We wanted to build a company our grandkids would be proud of.”[00:07:36] “We'd already made some money—so we decided to swing hard.”Listen to the full conversation through the link below.https://revenue-builders.simplecast.com/episodes/innovating-and-iterating-for-growth-with-hubspot-co-founder-brian-halliganEnjoying the podcast?

As part of our Across State Lines emphasis, New England Baptist partnered with the ERLC'S Psalm 139 Project to donate an ultrasound machine to Aspire Now Pregnancy Care Center in Vermont, a pro-choice state. On today's episode, you'll hear from Terry Dorsett, executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England, about the unique challenges facing New England Baptists, particularly when it comes to advocating for pre-born lives. He also discusses how cooperation with other state conventions like Tennessee and Alabama, fellow SBC entities, and local churches makes pro-life ministry possible in a region that is largely abortion permissive.New England Baptists face other ministry obstacles and opportunities as well, including family issues, pornography and gambling. Even with these challenges, there are encouraging signs of growth. According to Lifeway Research, New England is the only region in the SBC that has grown over the past five years. Terry has served in New England since 1994, first as a pastor, then a church planner, a director of missions, and finally a church planting catalyst before becoming the executive director of the Baptist Churches of New England in 2015. Now let's turn to Elizabeth Bristow's conversation with Terry Dorsett. Listen to more episodes of The ERLC Podcast at erlc.com/podcast.

Coalition Building and the Strategy's Purpose: Colleague Elbridge Colby explains that the goal of US strategy is protecting American security and prosperity, not necessarily promoting democracy, meaning the coalition may include non-republican states, identifying defensibility, cost, and resolve as critical filters for allies, ensuring they can hold territory without demanding excessive American sacrifice. 1903 QING DYNASTY

Elevating professionalism is key to much of the day-to-day work of Ellen M. Friedman, MD, FACS, FAAP, and we knew we had to have her join the Faculty Factory Podcast to learn more. Dr. Friedman serves as Professor of Otolaryngology-Head & Neck Surgery and is the Senior Associate Dean of Professionalism and the Director of the Center for Professionalism at Baylor College of Medicine in Houston. The end result of the Center for Professionalism, which we discuss at length in today's episode, is a warm and positive professional climate at Baylor College of Medicine. We also dive into the concept of professionalism in general. More about the Center: https://www.bcm.edu/education/academic-faculty-affairs/center-for-professionalism  While promoting professionalism is the core service of the Center, it also has systems in place to report instances where professionalism is lacking. The problem with traditional wellness programs is that they often place the burden on the individual while systematic issues at the institution remain unresolved, as Dr. Friedman points out. The Center at Baylor aims to address those systematic issues so they don't stand in the way of wellness and progress. More than anything else, however, the Center exists to acknowledge and recognize acts of positive professionalism. “It's a very small number of individuals who are perceived to have lapses in professionalism, but unfortunately, that small group of people tends to receive the most attention,” she says. For that reason, the Center is dedicated to honoring professionals who demonstrate exemplary professionalism. More resources: https://facultyfactory.org/

In 2015, Corey Lewis expanded to a second gym before he was ready. He ended up with two failing locations instead of one thriving facility.This mistake nearly sunk his business. Now, as a Two-Brain mentor, Corey helps gym owners avoid feels-good-in-the-moment traps that come with severe long-term consequences.In this episode, Corey joins Mike Warkentin to break down some of the most costly mistakes gym owners make:✅ Expanding before systems are in place.✅ Promoting staff too quickly.✅ Abdicating instead of delegating.✅ Discounting rates.✅ Chasing shiny objects instead of caring for "the golden goose."Corey explains how mentorship helps gym owners see past emotion to make decisions based on data. For example, if a gym owner is avoiding a much-needed rate increase, Corey will run the numbers, lay out the plan and provide accountability. He's successfully guided dozens of Two-Brain clients through this process: None lost all their members, and all made more money.Don't make mistakes that will take years to fix.

AP correspondent Ed Donahue reports on a change ahead at National Park gift shops.

There are moments in recruiting or promotion decisions when something feels off. A slight hesitation. A subtle inner resistance. A sense that something doesn't fully fit. And yet many leaders ignore exactly dieses early signal — out of time pressure, out of hope, or simply because the team urgently needs someone. In this episode of the LEITWOLF® Podcast, Stefan explains why those moments of doubt are not a weakness, but one of the strongest indicators in leadership selection. He shares a simple but powerful principle he learned early in his career and has since applied with thousands of leaders around the world: “When there is doubt, there is no doubt.” With real leadership examples, Stefan explores why leaders so often override their intuition, how pressure to “finally fill the role” leads to poor decisions, and why hope is never a substitute for competence and behaviour. You will learn how to take your instinct seriously without being impulsive, how to test your doubts rationally, how to evaluate real behaviour rather than polished rhetoric, and when to bring in a second set of eyes to avoid blind spots. Stefan also shares a practical method used in top leadership teams to assess candidates more effectively and make clearer decisions. ––– Do you like the LEITWOLF® Leadership podcast?

"I grew up in a 'customer comes first' world. It took me 50 years to realize that if I'm not first, everything else eventually falls apart." What happens when "customer first" quietly turns into "you last"?  In today's episode, I sit down with my friend and Missing Links Golf Show co-host, Andy Walker, to unpack the hidden cost of always giving more than you've got. We talk about how that pattern shows up in golf, trading, business, and fatherhood—and what changes when you finally put your health and wellbeing at the top of the list.  In this episode, you'll learn: How childhood programming around "service" and "customer first" quietly turns into self-neglect and burnout. Why your health, energy, and identity must sit above business, golf, and clients in your priority stack. How Andy built a simple, sustainable morning routine that blends resistance training, cardio, breathwork, and visualization. A practical way to define your core life values—and then use them as filters for how you spend your time and energy. How to make golf practice and exercise easy and irresistible by changing your environment (hello, backyard "High Performance Center"). Why vulnerability and asking for help accelerate your growth in golf, business, and life—and why "she'll be right" is killing performance. How to reframe self-care from "selfish" to the foundation of elite golf mindset, business mindset, and long-term health. If you've ever felt guilty taking time for yourself, this conversation will help you rewrite that story and start performing from a full tank instead of fumes. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Andy Andy Walker is the co-host of The Missing Links Golf Show, a fast-growing podcast dedicated to the midlife golfer's pursuit of improvement, balance, and renewed sporting glory. A lifelong athlete who once chased professional golf, Andy brings decades of competitive experience, business ownership, and real-world personal development into every episode. Now in his 50s, he's on a mission—alongside co-host Steve Moulton—to prove that meaningful improvement and peak performance are still possible, even while juggling family, business, health, and the chaos of everyday life. Known for his honesty, vulnerability, and analytical approach, Andy blends mindset, training, golf skill acquisition, and personal growth to help everyday golfers navigate the mental and emotional challenges of the game. His journey includes overcoming health scares, redefining his identity, and building a lifestyle that supports consistent practice and long-term wellbeing. Through The Missing Links Golf Show, Andy inspires golfers to chase growth, embrace the pilgrimage of improvement, and rediscover the joy and challenge of the game at any age.

When you grow up with "give, give, give" programming, you'll over-serve others and under-serve yourself until you consciously rewrite that pattern. The real priority stack for golfer–entrepreneurs is: health and wellbeing → family and relationships → business and clients → everything else. Writing your values and priorities down gives you clarity, emotional relief, and a decision-making filter for your time and energy. A simple, repeatable morning routine that blends training, breathwork, and visualization can anchor your entire day in focus, calm, and confidence. Environment design—like having a home gym or golf sim—removes friction and makes practice and self-care easy instead of a constant battle of willpower. Vulnerability and asking for help are not weaknesses; they are shortcuts to emotional clarity, faster growth, and a more sustainable version of success. Key Quotes: Your clients don't just need you available—they need you at your best. And you cannot be at your best if you're not taking care of yourself. I grew up in a 'customer comes first' world. It took me 50 years to realize that if I'm not first, everything else eventually falls apart. You don't get to leave your emotional baggage in the trunk when you walk onto the first tee. You bring your whole self to the golf course. It's easy to set goals like 'break 80' or 'hit seven figures.' The harder—and more important—question is: Who do I need to become to live that reality? Self-care used to feel selfish and self-indulgent. Now I see it as the bare minimum required to be the husband, father, golfer, and trader I want to be. If it's not blocked on your calendar, it's not truly a priority. Your schedule is the truth-teller of your values. Asking for help accelerates results. Vulnerability doesn't slow you down—it removes the emotional weight that's been holding you back.

Send us a textIn a sector where women make up the majority of the workforce, why are women still under-represented in the seats of power in medical groups?That's the question we're digging into today. Because while it's no secret that healthcare has long depended on the contributions of women—as physicians, nurses, administrators, and operational leaders—the top roles still tend to skew male. And when you take a close look at medical groups, especially larger ones, the imbalance becomes even clearer.But this isn't just a fairness issue. This is a strategic issue. Promoting more women into leadership roles is one of the smartest things a medical group can do. It strengthens decision-making, improves communication, builds healthier teams, and creates a culture of resilience. Today, we'll explore why.We're going to cover a lot of ground: the traditional gender imbalance, the advantages of gender-diverse leadership, how men and women often lead differently, how those styles complement each other, why compensation and negotiation matter, and how remote work might help level the playing field. We'll also touch on what the future could look like if medical groups commit to equity—not just in theory, but in practice.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

What do grasshoppers, prescribed fire, and peer pressure have in common?  In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Jason Harmon, the new head of Oklahoma State University's Natural Resource Ecology and Management department, to find out.  From his early days counting insects in Wisconsin to leading research on pollinators and rangelands in North Dakota, Dr. Harmon brings a wide-lens perspective to land management - one that blends ecology, culture, and community. Hosts John Weir, Dr. Laura Goodman, and Dr. Mark Turner chat with Dr. Harmon about everything from cattle grazing and monarch migration to how landowners manage for appearances rather than outcomes.  They also explore how Oklahoma's ecological diversity - and its people - are shaping the future of conservation.  Whether you're passionate about prescribed fire, curious about critters, or just love hearing smart folks talk about working landscapes, this one's for you. Takeaways Dr. Jason Harmon's background blends insect ecology with rangeland research. Cultural perceptions influence landowners' willingness to adopt ecologically diverse pastures. Fire remains an unmatched tool for managing range health and reducing woody encroachment. Oklahoma and North Dakota face different stages of similar land challenges. Pollinators are not just bees-grasslands can host hundreds of native insect species. Milkweed interactions with cattle are species-specific and under-researched. Oklahoma's ecological range-from alligators to bighorn sheep-mirrors the diversity of its management needs. Interdisciplinary collaboration enhances natural resource problem-solving. Prescribed burning is a proactive solution that prevents larger wildfire disasters. OSU's natural resource programs offer versatile career pathways through specialized tracks.
