Brandon and the crew discuss the dilemma of internal promotions, imposter syndrome, and whether to chase pay or protect quality of life. They explore setting boundaries, delegating, negotiating expectations, and how company culture affects career moves. The conversation offers practical advice on when to say no, defining work hours, and making career decisions after long tenure or rapid role changes. This conversation is skewed somewhat towards Brandon, a civilian, but most of what is discussed can be used within the military as well.

EPISODE 747 - Spencer Hixon - Urban fantasy novels and short stories - A Sinister Love and Fate and FortuneAuthor Spencer Hixon joins the podcast to discuss his journey as a writer, the creative process behind his novels, and the imaginative world he is building through interconnected stories that blend fantasy, romance, and philosophical ideas about fate and time.Spencer shares how his life has taken him across the United States, from California to Washington DC, South Carolina, and eventually Indiana. Each move was tied to career and family opportunities rather than a desire to relocate, shaping his perspective and experiences along the way. Today he lives near South Bend while continuing to develop a growing body of fiction.At the center of Spencer's writing process is organization and structure. With many ideas constantly forming, he keeps a running system of notes and outlines he jokingly calls “Spencer's brain.” While he often develops multiple story ideas at once, he focuses on writing one project at a time to maintain continuity and clarity. Detailed outlines, character histories, and color coded notes help him track character motivations, reveal background information gradually, and ensure every scene serves the larger narrative.Character psychology plays a central role in his storytelling. Spencer approaches scenes by mentally stepping into the perspective of every character involved, allowing each one to act according to their own motivations. This method often leads to unexpected turns in the story as characters evolve beyond their original roles. While he usually knows the ending before he begins writing, the journey toward that ending frequently shifts as the characters develop.His books often experiment with storytelling structure and genre. While they are generally categorized as urban fantasy, Spencer describes them as hybrid stories that combine elements of romance, adventure, and philosophical exploration. He enjoys challenging traditional narrative frameworks such as the hero's journey and sometimes reverses familiar tropes to create new dynamics between characters.Spencer's fictional universe spans two connected trilogies. The first begins with A Sinister Love, a story about a demon named Scribble who works a desk job in purgatory before being sent to Earth to tempt a human. What begins as a humorous romance evolves into a much larger mystery involving conspiracies and the structure of the afterlife. The second storyline, beginning with Fate and Fortune, explores the consequences of altering destiny. In that story, a man who once made a deal to change his fate must travel back through key moments of his life to prevent disastrous outcomes, while each trip through time costs him precious moments from his remaining lifespan.Through these stories Spencer explores universal questions about choice, destiny, and the moments in life that shape who we become. His work invites readers to consider how small decisions can create lasting consequences and whether changing the past would truly lead to a better future.https://www.spencerhixon.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca
Ricky Fernandez is one of the most recognizable personalities in North Alabama sports and serves as the Senior Director of Marketing and Promotions for the Rocket City Trash Pandas, where he leads the creative vision behind one of Minor League Baseball's most celebrated fan experiences. As the energetic on-field emcee at Toyota Field, Ricky has become the face and voice of countless unforgettable moments, entertaining thousands of fans each game while helping transform every home stand into a community event rather than simply a baseball game.A Huntsville native through and through, Ricky was born and raised in the Rocket City. He graduated from Bob Jones High School before earning his degree from the University of Alabama in Huntsville, giving him deep roots in the community he now helps entertain. His love for North Alabama and its people has made him a passionate ambassador for the region, both on and off the field.Before joining the Trash Pandas organization, Ricky built a career in broadcasting, working in local radio as a producer and on-air personality. His background behind the microphone sharpened the quick wit, timing, and audience engagement skills that have become trademarks of his work today. He has a natural ability to connect with crowds, making him one of the most recognizable public personalities in the Huntsville-Madison area.Ricky joined the Rocket City Trash Pandas during the organization's formative years in 2019, helping launch a franchise that would quickly become one of the premier success stories in Minor League Baseball.

That connection to the franchise's earliest days has made him an integral part of its identity ever since.Over the years, Ricky has risen through the organization from Game Entertainment and Promotions Manager to Director and now Senior Director of Marketing and Promotions. In that role, he oversees the club's promotional calendar, theme nights, giveaways, fan engagement initiatives, and in-game entertainment strategy. From sold-out bobblehead nights and specialty jerseys to nationally recognized promotional events, Ricky's creativity has helped make Toyota Field one of the most entertaining venues in all of Minor League Baseball.His influence extends well beyond baseball. Ricky has helped position Toyota Field as a year-round entertainment destination by supporting concerts, festivals, holiday events, community celebrations, collegiate athletics, and special attractions that bring hundreds of thousands of visitors to Town Madison each year. His work demonstrates how modern sports marketing is about building experiences that strengthen an entire community.Today, Ricky Fernandez is widely regarded as one of the driving creative forces behind the Rocket City Trash Pandas' remarkable success. Whether he's orchestrating a memorable promotion, hyping a packed crowd between innings, or developing the next big idea that keeps fans coming back, Ricky combines hometown pride, marketing innovation, and infectious enthusiasm to create experiences that have made the Trash Pandas one of the most beloved brands in Minor League Baseball.Visit https://trashpandasbaseball.com for more information on the Rocket City Trash Pandas and when you can see Ricky do this thing at a game.Host/Interviewer: M.

You're doing brilliant work, you know you could probably do your boss's job, and you're still waiting for someone to notice. Sound familiar? In this episode, we unpack why performing well and waiting for the tap on the shoulder rarely gets you promoted, and what to do instead.We talk through the very British discomfort with "shouting about yourself," why recognition for your current role doesn't automatically translate into being seen as ready for the next one, and how to have promotion conversations that feel like advocacy rather than an ultimatum. We share a real client example of how raising the conversation months in advance completely changed the outcome, plus practical advice on timing, who to actually speak to, and how to reframe a knockback into a clear, strategic next move.Key points from this episodeWhy being a "reliable pair of hands" can quietly work against your chances of promotionThe very British instinct that's stopping you asking for what you wantWhy your manager praising your work doesn't mean they see you at the next levelA real client story of how starting the conversation early changed everythingWho you should actually be having this conversation with (hint: it's not always who you think)Timestamps00:00 Introduction and why this topic matters01:00 Why performing well isn't a promotion strategy06:00 The British discomfort with self-promotion09:00 Why being noticed doesn't mean being seen as ready12:00 A client's story: raising the conversation months ahead17:00 Why timing beats waiting for the annual appraisal19:00 Choosing who to have the conversation with21:00 Reminding people of your impact29:00 Turning a "no" into a clear next moveUseful LinksConnect with Pam on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelalangan/Connect with Jacqui on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqui-jagger/Follow the Catalyst Careers LinkedIn page for career tips and adviceInterested in working with us?

Grant shares the real origin story—growing up around dirt bikes and construction with his dad, the moment a tensioned bungee cord sunk into his father's hand, and how that gap in the market stuck with him for years. After becoming a dad himself and feeling limited in the trades, he dug the old "Grant Strap" idea out of his phone notes during COVID and decided to actually build it. They dig into the messy reality of inventing and launching a physical product: the prototype phase with Home Depot parts and Alibaba springs, finding the right tension (about 120 lbs on the first model), avoiding the "mailbox money" invention scammers, making and selling the first ugly versions yourself, and why "people don't buy ideas—they buy products." Grant explains how the spring-loaded design works, the continuous polyester limiter band for safety and load rating, why it stays tight when loads shift or compress (coolers, cardboard, UTVs, Jeeps), and the three models (1", 1.5", and the 2" Pro with ratchet) that cover everything from college moves to Moab trailers. The conversation also covers the less glamorous side of business—patent threats that turned into nothing, copycats, why building a strong brand and customer service is better protection than a patent alone, working-load math that goes beyond just vehicle weight, all-weather durability, proper care for lifetime performance, pack sizes, lengths, and extensions. Grant talks about his Invent With Me podcast (helping inventors avoid the same pitfalls he hit) and what's next for TorkStrap: more trade shows, social content, and partnerships rather than diluting the core product. If you've ever cursed a ratchet strap in the rain, watched a load loosen on the highway, or thought about turning a simple idea into a real business, this one's for you. **Timestamps** 00:00 AI Sign Language for Deaf Viewers 00:41 Early Inspiration for Better Cargo Straps 02:36 Childhood Prototypes Reveal Market Gap 04:10 COVID Motivation to Launch Business 07:04 Inventor Licensing Pitfalls and DIY Sales 09:48 Prototyping, Sampling, and First Customers 11:52 Designing the Spring-Loaded Torque Strap 14:06 How Torque Straps Work and Their Benefits 22:48 Creative Branding Ideas for Torque Straps 24:05 Facing Competition and Patent Infringement 27:33 Defending the Product Against Patent Claims 28:12 Commitment to Quality and Customer Support 29:10 Competing with Copycats and Maintaining Reputation 30:05 Encouraging Ethical Purchasing 30:58 Patent Vulnerabilities and Enforcement Challenges 35:53 Introducing the Invent With Me Podcast 37:17 Calculating Load Ratings and Strap Sizing 44:28 All-Weather Durability and Maintenance 45:30 Spring Longevity and Packaging Options 47:02 Pricing Packs and Managing Expectations 48:04 Customizing Strap Lengths for Use 49:01 Strap Longevity and Care Guidelines 50:50 Subscription Idea Mentioned 51:04 Social Media Presence and Promotion 54:35 Upcoming Marketing Focus for Torque Strap 56:09 Shift from Engineering to Marketing 56:40 Humorous Product Concepts and April Fools 57:08 Closing Remarks and Podcast Promotion 57:42 Final Thoughts and Gratitude **Key takeaways** - Just pull—spring tension adapts to load shift or compression so you rarely (or never) have to stop and re-tighten. - Continuous polyester strap carries the actual load rating; the spring is the adaptive element with a limiter. - Three models cover light-to-heavy needs, including a 2" Pro with ratchet for vehicles and heavier cargo. - Lifetime warranty when treated with respect; average "cheap strap" life is ~2 years because people leave them in the bed. - Best protection in business isn't always the patent—it's being the guy who answers the phone, honors the warranty, and shows up every day.

Working hard, but still not promoted? Getting to your next level is not a reward for performance; it comes down to three shifts, a next-level mindset, a next-level skill set beyond your technical skills, and a next-level opportunity you can identify or create. You are paid for output. The next level pays for outcomes. See where you stand: https://masteryinsights.com/mentorship-pc What actually gets you promoted to the next level? Advancing to your next level of leadership is not a reward for performance; performance is the minimum expectation for the job you already hold. Reaching the next title depends on three shifts. The first is a next-level mindset, thinking and deciding from the person you need to become rather than the person you are today. The second is a next-level skill set, the non-technical skills like articulating your value and solving bigger problems that matter more the higher you rise. The third is a next-level opportunity, which is sometimes internal, sometimes external, and most often created by your own visionary thinking. Key Concepts Next-Level Mindset: Thinking and deciding from the person you need to become, not from the person you are today. Next-Level Skill Set: The non-technical skills, such as articulating your value and solving bigger problems, that decide advancement once strong performance is already a given. Next-Level Opportunity: The role or platform, often self-created through visionary thinking, where your skills are finally valued at their true level. Performance as the Minimum Expectation: Doing your job well is the baseline that keeps you where you are, not the lever that moves you up. Which of the three shifts, mindset, skills, or opportunity, is the one holding you back from your next title right now?

From my distress I called upon the Lord. The message reflects that God answers, sets us in a large place, and helps us not to fear. It also points to “the gates of righteousness” as the way God leads us through troubles, purifying His saints and revealing His face, so we trust Him more than people.
EPISODE 746 - Douglas Smith - Character Based Writing, Bundling Short Stories, Spirit Dance and BorderlanzAuthor and guest Douglas Smith joins the show from Unionville, just outside Toronto, reflecting on Canadian winters, good coffee, and the long path that led him to finally chase his writing dream in his early forties. He admits he waited too long, always assuming he would “start someday,” until the early death of one of his favorite authors, Roger Zelazny, jolted him into action. Looking back, he wishes someone had told him to simply start, and to begin with short stories instead of aiming immediately at a big novel. For Douglas, short fiction is the ideal training ground: it lets writers experiment with different genres, voices, and techniques across many smaller projects, while also teaching them how to submit, handle rejection, and learn from editors.That philosophy inspired his book for emerging writers, Playing the Short Game, which walks beginners through why and how to build a career through short fiction, from first draft to contracts and rights management. Douglas describes how writing many short stories gave him a full creative toolbox before he ever tackled novels. He also highlights the emotional journey of early rejections, the encouragement of personalized feedback, and the importance of protecting your rights so you can later reprint stories, resell them, or collect them into your own books.As an author, Douglas is known for richly developed characters and a distinctly visual, cinematic style. He finds it ironic that readers praise his settings because description used to be his biggest struggle, until a craft lesson on “writing setting as character” helped him anchor description in point of view and emotion. He explains how short fiction forced him to make every word count, hook readers from the first line, and compress full worldbuilding and character arcs into just a few thousand words. Those same skills now strengthen his novels, including his shapeshifter universe (beginning with the story “Spirit Dance” and the novel The Wolf at the End of the World), his Dream Rider Saga trilogy, and a connected near-future post-apocalyptic science fiction project.Douglas also demystifies short story collections, talking about how he sequences stories to shape a satisfying reader experience, balances length, tone, and genre, and always includes at least one new story to reward dedicated fans. He shares how reviews and endorsements from admired authors can be both powerful and dangerous for writers, recommending that beginners protect themselves from early negative reviews while still learning to use positive feedback as encouragement and promotion. Throughout, he returns to the themes of experimentation, resilience, and generosity: using short fiction to grow your craft, building a backlist that can be repackaged over time, and paying it forward to the next generation of writers.Key takeaway: Douglas's journey shows that it is never too late to start writing, and that beginning with short fiction can give you the skills, confidence, and resilience you need to build a lasting, flexible career as an author.https://smithwriter.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

Send us Fan MailThe women who move up in Q4 are not the ones who work harder in October. They are the ones who did four things in August that changed the story their manager was telling about them.August feels quiet. It feels like a hold-your-breath month before September, before Q4, before the year rushes to its ending. That quiet is exactly why it is the most important month of your year. Promotion decisions, compensation conversations, and year-end outcomes get made in October and November about people whose names got planted in August.In this episode of Communicate to Lead, Kele walks through the Mid-Year Audit, a set of four coaching questions she uses with clients preparing for Q4. These are not the questions your manager will ask you. They are the ones your manager cannot ask, and the ones you rarely ask yourself.This episode opens a four-part August arc on turning visibility into leverage.WHAT YOU WILL LEARNWhy a mid-year audit is a completely different exercise from a mid-year review, and why you need bothThe invisible ledger most high-performing women are carrying, and what it is costing them in visibilityWhat “playing small” actually looks like at senior levels, which is rarely what people expectWhy being told you need more executive presence is nearly useless feedback, and how to decode which version of the problem you actually haveThe work you have outgrown that is quietly holding your ceiling in placeHow avoided conversations compound between August and DecemberA method for turning four honest answers into four specific commitments with dates attachedWHO THIS IS FORHigh-performing women in middle and senior management who want Q4 to look different from the rest of the year, and who are ready to get honest about what has been getting in the way.YOUR ACTION STEPBlock thirty minutes on your calendar this week. Not tonight when you are tired, and not Friday when you are wrapping up. Answer the four questions from this episode, then write down four commitments, one for each answer, with specific language, a specific person, and a specific date.COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT THE MID-YEAR AUDIT1. What is the difference between a mid-year audit and a mid-year review?A review is a conversation with your manager about work she can already see. An audit is the private assessment you do of the things she cannot see, including your own patterns and the conversations you have been avoiding.2. Why do this in August instead of waiting until Q4 planning?Because you still have time to act on what you find. By October, budgets are closing and promotion decisions are already in motion. August gives you three months of runway.3. Do I need to share my audit answers with my manager?No. The audit is for you. What you share is the one strategic thing that comes out of it, framed deliberately and timed well.MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODEEpisode 110: How to Turn Your Mid-Year Review Into Career Advancement (4-Step Framework)Episode 112: Why Hard Work Won't Get You Promoted (5 Strategies That Actually Work)Episode 113: 4 Strategies to Advance Your Career When Your Manager Has Checked OutEpisode 114: How to Get Promoted in Q4: The Strategic RISE Method Every Woman Leader Needs to KnowREADY TO GO DEEPER?If you do the audit and you can see what needs to change but not how to actually do it, that is exactly what a Leadership Strategy Call is for.

Most people think promotions go to the person doing the best work. In reality, they often go to the person who looks like they're already leading the room. AJ and Johnny break down why competence alone can leave high performers overlooked, while confidence, visibility, and strategic positioning shape how leadership sees you. They explain the difference between self-promotion and executive presence, why working harder can actually keep you stuck, and how promotion decisions are influenced by the signals people notice in meetings. You'll learn a simple three-step technique called “summarize and steer” to organize a scattered conversation, clarify the real decision, and propose the next move. It's a practical way to build influence, signal leadership, and become the person others look to when it matters.

Who Am I Without the Hustle?What happens when you strip away the degrees, promotions, job titles, accomplishments, and constant productivity?Who are you then?In this deeply personal episode of Let Me Fix My Crown, Regina gets honest about achievement addiction, productivity guilt, and what it feels like when your identity becomes more connected to your résumé than to the woman underneath it all.For years, Regina's hustle was fueled by survival, family responsibility, ambition, and the desire to create a life that looked different from the one she grew up seeing. Every degree, promotion, and opportunity represented growth—but somewhere along the way, constantly achieving became the norm, and slowing down started to feel uncomfortable.Now, as she prepares to enter a new decade of life, Regina is asking herself a different question:Am I chasing purpose—or am I trying to prove that I am worthy?In this episode, we're talking about:✨ Achievement addiction and why success can become difficult to stop chasing✨ The pressure to immediately move on to the next goal✨ When your identity becomes tied to your career and accomplishments✨ The emotional side of promotions, degrees, and professional growth✨ Productivity guilt and why doing nothing can feel so uncomfortable✨ How survival mode affects rest, silence, and the nervous system✨ Conditional self-worth and the belief that you must produce to matter✨ Becoming a softer, more intentional version of yourself✨ Learning to separate who you are from what you doConditional self-worth happens when you only feel valuable while you are producing, helping, fixing, achieving, or succeeding.But your worth was never supposed to depend on your productivity.Your accomplishments may change. Your titles may change. Your career may change.Your value does not.Take out your journal and answer this question:Who are you without mentioning your job, degree, income, relationship status, motherhood, or accomplishments?Do not rush the answer. Sit with yourself. Come back to it more than once if you need to.Then ask yourself:What am I unlearning in this season of my life?Maybe this week, instead of asking, “What do I need to accomplish next?” ask:“Who am I becoming?”Because titles change. Careers change. Promotions come and go.But the woman you are becoming?She is the real accomplishment.Listen now, complete the reflection exercise, and share your answer with Regina on Spotify or Instagram.Until next time, protect your peace, honor your healing, and do not forget to take care of the woman behind the crown.
EPISODE 745 - Scott Clifford Mack - Soccer On Sunday In The Park and Adventures of a Forgotten ManAuthor and guest Scott Clifford Mack joins us from Falmouth, Maine, a coastal community with a deep literary tradition and a revolutionary-era history that mirrors his themes of resilience and reinvention. He describes Maine as an introspective place that quietly supports the inner life of a writer, even as he humbly refrains from placing himself among its famous names. Scott shares an early, sobering experience at a publishing seminar where an industry professional bluntly stated that most first novels will never see the light of day. What felt devastating at the time eventually became a foundational lesson about failure, resilience, and the necessity of honest self-assessment. He admits his early work was not as strong as he believed, and that accepting this truth pushed him to improve his craft.Over the years, Scott has written novels, magazine articles, essays, and short stories, facing both rejection and acceptance. These experiences deepened his confidence and clarified his priorities. He realized he writes primarily for the love of writing itself, not for guarantees of publication or acclaim. For him, joy comes from sitting alone with a story, refining each sentence, and “baking the cake” before worrying about covers and marketing. Scott prefers to keep his voice as pure as possible, resisting heavy editorial direction so his work remains fully his own. He reads widely across genres, studying how other authors structure stories and shape language, and emphasizes that a compelling story is what ultimately carries a reader from first page to last.Scott's first published novel, Soccer on Sunday in the Park, grew from lifelong passion and multiple failed attempts to write about the sport he loves. The book centers on a diverse group of everyday people who gather weekly for informal pickup soccer. Through their eyes, he explores three main themes: a grassroots homage to the game, the power of human connection across age, background, and culture, and the importance of adults continuing to play and embrace the humility and resilience that come with games. His second novel, Adventures of a Forgotten Man, shifts to corporate culture, remote work, and the modern world of employment. Inspired by a real report of remote employees who stopped logging in yet continued to be paid, Scott imagines a man “misplaced” by a large insurance company and explores what happens when work becomes transactional and disconnected. The protagonist's journey contrasts older, more personal workplace eras with today's diffuse, digital reality, raising questions about identity, loyalty, and meaning in work. Throughout the conversation, Scott explains his character-building process, from notebooks and detailed profiles to the surprising way minor figures sometimes grow into pivotal roles. He is especially drawn to “under the radar” people and finding the remarkable in the seemingly unremarkable. https://www.instagram.com/scmack13Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

What did you think of todays show??Is the guy with the highest net worth in the room actually the happiest? Probably not. In this episode, we get into the psychology of money: why net worth is mostly ego, why it can't buy groceries when it's all locked up, and why comparison quietly wrecks how you feel about your own wealth. Plus the fake business valuations inflating everyone's numbers, whether a guaranteed windfall would kill your drive, and what actually gives money meaning.Topics discussed:Introduction (00:00)Promotion and relegation coming to US sports (04:06)Who's happier: the richest friend or the poorest? (08:11)Why we're never booking another Airbnb (11:55)Why the guy in the $20M penthouse is miserable (19:35)Net worth is just comfort, not a scoreboard (24:57)Why your net worth can't buy groceries (25:39)The fake business valuations wrecking net worths (27:29)Would a guaranteed $10M kill your drive? (29:16)Would you want to know the day you die?

Send us Fan MailPromotions can feel deeply personal, especially when you are carrying the workload, delivering results, and still watching someone else move up.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I'm asking the question many mid-career professionals have quietly wondered: “How did they get promoted when I'm doing as much or more?”The answer is rarely “work harder.”At this stage of your career, hard work matters, but it is not always what gets you promoted. Leaders are often evaluating you through an invisible promotion test that rarely gets explained out loud. They are looking for clear evidence that you can operate at the next level, demonstrate measurable business impact, and lead with the kind of influence, visibility, and strategic thinking expected in a bigger role.If your work is solid but your impact is unclear, your career may stall. That is why relying on “my work will speak for itself” can quietly hold you back.In this episode, I break down what decision makers actually need when your name comes up in a promotion conversation. They need examples they can repeat confidently when you are not in the room. They need proof that you are not just doing more work, but creating outcomes that matter to the organization.I also talk about the difference between bragging and self-advocacy. Advocating for yourself is not about arrogance. It is about communicating your value with executive presence, connecting your contributions to business outcomes, and helping your manager understand how to champion you effectively.You'll walk away with three practical strategies for career growth and promotion readiness: tracking measurable results, making your promotion goals explicit in your one-on-ones, and giving your manager the exact talking points they need to advocate for you.I also share four diagnostic questions to help you pressure test whether your supervisor truly understands your impact and can defend your promotion recommendation quickly and clearly.If you feel stuck, unseen, or frustrated because you are doing the work but not getting promoted, this episode will help you understand what may be missing and how to start positioning yourself more strategically.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why summertime workloads can amplify resentment at work • What it really means to feel stuck and unseen at mid-career • How leaders evaluate next-level readiness for promotions • Why visibility and memorable impact stories can change career outcomes • The difference between arrogance and business-centered advocacy • Why time in role does not guarantee a promotion • What strategic thinking and influence without title look like • Three ways to advocate for yourself without sounding boastful • Four questions to check whether your supervisor can champion you fastWhy This Matters for Your Mid-Career GrowthAt mid-career, your job is not only to do good work. Your job is to make sure the right people understand the value, impact, and strategic importance of that work.If you are tired of feeling overlooked, passed over, or unsure why your career is not moving forward, this episode will help you stop guessing and start building a stronger case for your next promotion.Listen to this episode and learn how to make your impact more visible, your goals more explicit, and your promotion story easier for others to repeat.Support the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.

☀️ Summer just got longer in Sharjah! The Sharjah Summer Promotions 2026 campaign has been extended until 15 September 2026, giving residents and visitors even more time to enjoy unbeatable shopping offers, family entertainment, exclusive hotel packages, and the chance to win incredible prizes—including a car, gold bars, shopping vouchers, and more. With exciting activities taking place across participating malls, including creative workshops, interactive experiences with Shamsa, and live entertainment, there's something for everyone this summer. Plan your visit, shop, stay, and celebrate the season across Sharjah until 15 September!
Summer is historically the slowest season for business promotions. Your potential clients are distracted by vacations, kids being out of school, and a general "out of office" mode makes it harder to sell things that require routine or commitment. Rather than panicking about low engagement now, use this quieter period to build your "launch narrative" for fall promotions: consistently talking about your upcoming offers, mentioning their names repeatedly to build familiarity, and use lead magnets, interest lists, or content series to corral attention so that when doors officially open, your audience is already warmed up and no time is wasted on education. Successful launches in 2026 depend less on the size of an audience and more on consistent, story-driven messaging, so that by the time consumer attention naturally sharpens at the end of summer, your business is already positioned and ready to convert.

You don't usually abandon a meaningful goal all at once. More often, your commitment slowly fades the moment you convince yourself you don't know how to get there.

EPISODE 744 - Luna Westish - Meet Me at the Ruins - The Story of Margo, a Student and Story Set In ScotlandIn this episode, author Luna Westish shares the unexpected path that led her to writing and publishing her debut novel, Meet Me at the Ruins. From relocating her family to Mexico City during the pandemic to navigating the realities of self-publishing, Luna reflects on creativity, personal growth, and the lessons she learned along the way.Luna begins by discussing the major life decision that reshaped her family's world. After years of talking about living abroad, she and her partner chose the uncertainty of the pandemic as the moment to take the leap. Selling nearly all their belongings and leaving Tacoma, Washington behind, they moved to Mexico City with their children. What began as an experiment quickly turned into a new home as they found community in the vibrant, international city. While Luna still misses the nature and coastline of the Pacific Northwest, the move created space for new experiences and creative exploration.That sense of experimentation carries into Luna's approach to writing. Contrary to common advice that writers must produce words daily or follow strict routines, Luna discovered that creativity works best when she allows flexibility. Writing for her happens in bursts of inspiration, often in quiet coffee shops in the morning. Instead of focusing on word counts or rigid goals, she treats writing as a process of curiosity and self-discovery, allowing stories to emerge naturally rather than forcing them.Her journey into fiction was equally unplanned. Luna spent years writing nonfiction, including academic work, policy reports on climate change, and articles related to small business. Eventually she began writing deeply personal essays about her childhood growing up in a restrictive religious environment. That vulnerable work opened the door to fiction. Inspired by weekly coffee shop writing sessions with her teenager, she started drafting a story that eventually became her novel.Meet Me at the Ruins follows Margot, a college student studying abroad in Edinburgh in the early 2000s. The novel explores anxiety, identity, relationships, and the search for purpose during a formative stage of life. Set against the atmospheric backdrop of Edinburgh, the story blends elements of coming-of-age, romance, and contemporary literary fiction while focusing on emotional growth rather than a traditional plot-driven arc.Luna also offers candid insight into the publishing world. After partially releasing the story online, she queried agents and publishers but ultimately chose to self-publish when contracts lacked clarity around responsibilities and timelines. The experience revealed how complex book marketing can be, from building advance reader groups to securing reviews and interviews. Her biggest lesson for aspiring authors: allow far more time for marketing and outreach than you think you'll need.Despite the challenges, Luna views the entire process as a learning experience rather than a purely commercial pursuit. For her, writing is about exploration, connection, and sharing stories that resonate emotionally with readers. That same mindset shapes her parenting, encouraging her children to pursue creativity for joy rather than productivity.https://lunawestish.wordpress.com/___Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

BONUS - Austin Kleon's Book Series - Why These Books Matter to Authors and Creative PeopleAustin Kleon's four books work best when read as one creative roadmap. They move from making original work, to shaping your voice, to sharing your process, to protecting your creative life when things get messy.Steal, then make it yoursSteal Like an Artist is the spark. Kleon argues that no idea arrives from nowhere, so creators should study what they love, remix it, and turn influence into something personal. The book's appeal comes from how practical it feels. Readers often praise it for making creativity feel accessible instead of mysterious.Share the processShow Your Work! takes the next step. Kleon shifts the focus from finished product to public process, encouraging readers to share small pieces of their work, teach what they know, and build trust over time. The message is clear. People do not only connect with polished results, they connect with the story of how the work gets made.Keep the fire aliveKeep Going brings the series into real life. It focuses on staying creative through distraction, pressure, and chaos. Rather than chasing inspiration, Kleon emphasizes routine, limits, and steady habits that protect the work. This is the book for people who have started, shared, and now need a way to keep showing up.(New!) Don't Call It Art: 10 Ways to Create Like a Kid Again points readers back to play, curiosity, and freedom. It reminds creators to loosen perfectionism and return to the simple joy of making. That foundation matters because the rest of Kleon's work builds on the idea that creativity starts with action, not permission.Why read all fourTogether, these books form a complete creative framework. Don't Call It Art opens the door. Steal Like an Artist helps readers find their voice. Show Your Work! teaches them how to build an audience. Keep Going helps them sustain the practice long term.If you are recommending all four books to listeners, the strongest theme is this: creativity is a practice, not a moment. Play, borrow wisely, share generously, and keep going. That simple arc makes the set worth reading as a collection.https://austinkleon.com/Support the show___https://livingthenextchapter.com/podcast produced by: https://truemediasolutions.ca/Coffee Refills are always appreciated, refill Dave's cup here, and thanks!https://buymeacoffee.com/truemediaca

You just got promoted. Or you just walked across the stage. Or you're staring at an offer that looks perfect on paper. The phone is blowing up. The congratulations are pouring in. And underneath all of it, the pressure to make the next move is already loud. You start wondering if you're falling behind. You start scanning for the next thing. You start telling yourself the clock is ticking, when honestly, the only clock is the one in your own head. That is the urgency trap. And it is where a lot of newly promoted leaders make decisions they end up regretting. In this episode, James Rosseau Sr. shares the C-suite offer he almost took. Big role. Real budget. A team he could point to. On paper, it was the obvious next move. What stopped him wasn't a better offer. It was getting still long enough to see what was really pulling him toward it. You'll learn why urgency clouds your judgment, why stillness after a big moment isn't laziness but strategic clarity work, and how to tell the difference between visible progress (what other people can see) and real progress (who you're becoming). James also walks through a 20-minute exercise you can do this week, three questions to answer honestly, and a two-column list that will show you where to actually move next. By the end of this episode, you'll have permission to slow down long enough to make the right call instead of the fast one. Your next move is not your last move. Choose progress over perfection.
TODAY'S QUESTION: Hi Fellas, My group of friends from high school wanted to rent a house for a week by a lake and relive our glory days. I was the most enthusiastic when planning started and said I would be there the whole week. Now the house is rented and it's a 2.5 hour drive. I have a job currently and already took the vacation block for the whole week. I have been applying for better jobs, but did not expect anything in today's job market. I applied and interviewed to the perfect job. Promotion, raise, easier commute, better work life balance, everything. I was given a job offer but they want me to start the Monday of the lake weekend. Now I'm looking for advice. Thanks, Troy Tulowitski (My real name is ***** but I would prefer to stay anonymous and thought you would appreciate the Rockies reference.)

Nihilistic western leaders have been pushing for decades to have a major war with Russia. Former Royal Navy commander Steve Jermy says they're about to get that war, and lose badly. (00:00) What Is Happening Between Russia and Ukraine? (09:21) Why Would the US and NATO Want a War With Russia? (15:32) The EU's Promotion of Foolish Leaders (20:17) Where the US Stands With Russia and Where We're Headed (43:39) Where Does the West Stand on Energy? As a young naval aviator, Commodore Steve Jermy's first operational deployment was in the Falklands War flying from HMS Invincible. As a senior naval officer, his final operational deployment was in Afghanistan as Strategy Director in the British Embassy, Kabul. In between: at sea, he commanded 4 ships and a destroyer squadron; ashore, he served in 4 policy appointments in Britain's Ministry of Defence and led British naval aviation as Commodore Fleet Air Arm. After leaving the navy, he worked for 15 years in the offshore energy sector. His qualifications include an MPhil from Cambridge University in International Relations, including International Economics, and he is the author of Strategy for Action: Using Force Wisely in the 21st Century. Having stepped down from the offshore energy sector, he now writes a Substack - https://stevejermy.substack.com - and is a regular YouTube interviewee on geopolitics, war, economics, energy, and their intersection. https://stevejermy.substack.com/p/principles-and-practice-of-air-defence Paid partnerships with: Ethos: Protect your family with life insurance from Ethos.
