Podcasting takes time. Usually more time than you expect. If your show feels like a lot of work with very little return, the problem probably isn't your commitment. It's your production process. I see this all the time as a podcast coach. Podcasters reacting week to week instead of working from a repeatable system. Scrambling for topics. Recording whenever there's a free moment. Editing on the fly. Publishing late. Promoting inconsistently. It's common, but it's also the fastest way to burn out before your podcast ever pays off. In this episode, I break down why efficiency matters more than hustle when it comes to podcasting for your business. Not because podcasting should be easy, but because narrowing the gap between effort and return is the only way to stay consistent long enough to see results. You'll hear what actually makes a podcast production process efficient, what most podcasters are missing, and how a clear structure, intentional batching, and a documented workflow can dramatically reduce the time and energy cost of your show. This isn't about cutting corners. It's about building a process that supports consistency, quality, and long-term momentum. If you're just starting out, efficiency helps you build the right habits from day one. If you're already podcasting and wondering why the return doesn't match the effort, this episode will help you see where things are breaking down. If you want help tightening up your production process or figuring out how to get it right from day one, book a free private podcast coaching call. Let's build a podcast production process to serve you instead of draining you.

435 | Building Your Bench Strength – Team Building for Martial Arts School Owners Podcast Description Duane and Allie get real about what it takes to build a strong team and lasting bench strength in your martial arts school. Sharing personal stories and hard-earned lessons, they break down how to create a leadership pipeline, handle sudden departures, and why systems matter for long-term success. With insights from Michael Gerber's The E-Myth and John C. Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership, this episode is your blueprint for building a team that can handle anything. Key Takeaways Bench strength is more than just your current staff: It's about cultivating backups, future leaders, and a strong leadership pipeline from within. Don't wait until it's too late: Most school owners build their team only after a crisis—start now to avoid scrambling later. Homegrown vs. outside hires: Promoting from within strengthens culture and loyalty, but sometimes you'll need to bring in new talent—just be ready to train them deeply. Systems are everything: The E-Myth's lesson—work “on” your business, not just “in” it. Build lesson plans, documentation, and training programs so your school runs smoothly, even when you're not there. Delegation beats abdication: True delegation means staying involved and following up—not just handing off tasks and hoping for the best. Leadership is a journey: Maxwell's 5 Levels of Leadership remind us that great teams are built by developing leaders who inspire and grow others, not just filling spots. Recruit for heart, not just skill: The best future instructors are those who care about others and embody your school's values. Cross-training and documentation are your safety net: When someone leaves, you won't be left in the dark if you've prepared. Culture and buy-in matter: Each leadership step (assistant, instructor, partner) is a new level of commitment and engagement in your school. Action Steps for School Owners Start now: Don't wait until you “need” help—begin building your bench strength today. Spot and develop future leaders: Identify one student or staff member to start grooming as a leader. Create a leadership training plan: Even a simple one with clear roles and responsibilities makes a difference. Check in regularly: Schedule team meetings and give feedback often. Read and assign: Dive into The E-Myth and Maxwell's leadership books for more on systems and leadership development. Document and cross-train: Make sure your key processes and roles are written down and that more than one person can handle each task. Reflect: Who's your MVP lately? What's one thing you wish you'd done sooner to build your bench? Additional Resources Mentioned Michael Gerber's The E-Myth (latest edition recommended) John C. Maxwell's leadership books, especially the 5 Levels of Leadership Spark school management software “Wake Up Happy” by Michael Strahan (for personal inspiration) School Owner Talk Facebook group (for sharing MVPs and team-building tips) What's your biggest team-building win—or lesson learned?

Every year, many make resolutions to guide their new year plans. For Catholics, we can make resolutions to help guide our spiritual growth and inform our daily tasks. In this episode of On Mission, Chris Pierno, Sarah Scalfaro, and Fr. Frank Donio, S.A.C. discuss ways that Catholics can take advantage of the New Year, 2026.With the dawn of a New Year we have fresh opportunities and a new hope for what we can expect in the months ahead. A key for success is having a plan and managing expectations. If we bite off more than we can chew, we get overwhelmed and don't make any progress. If we don't have any idea of how we will accomplish our goals, then we are not any more likely to accomplish them. Some New Year's resolutions for Catholics may include: attending daily Mass, going to Confession more regularly, daily prayer, and partaking in charity work, to name a few.

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/
