Podcasts about PTO

Real estate didn't just change our income—it transformed our time, relationships, and what we believe is possible for our lives. In this episode, we share honestly about the lifestyle shifts we've experienced since becoming real estate investors: non-traditional work weeks, flexible days built around things we love (like pickleball, personal training, and slow Fridays), and the ability to travel or go home for weeks at a time without asking for PTO.We talk about how our social circles have completely changed as we've surrounded ourselves with ambitious women who talk about equity, mindset, and expansion. Amelia opens up about leaving a 9-year relationship, how having her own portfolio gave her the option to walk away, and why you can still invest even if your partner isn't on board.We also break down how real estate has made us financially stronger through debt paydown, equity, tax benefits, and the confidence that we can go out and make more money because we have the skills. If you're a woman who wants more freedom, alignment, and audacity in your life, this conversation will feel like a glimpse of what's possible for you, too.  Resources:Simplify how you manage your rentals with TurboTenantGet in touch with Envy Investment GroupMake sure your name is on the list to secure your spot in The WIIRE Community Leave us a review on Apple PodcastsLeave us a review on SpotifyJoin our private Facebook CommunityConnect with us on Instagram

Most PAs don't wake up one day hating medicine.Instead, they wake up tired. Numb. Disconnected. Still competent. Still caring. Still showing up — but quietly wondering where the spark went.In this episode of The PA Is In, Tracy speaks directly to the clinician who didn't fall out of love with medicine, but feels weighed down by how it's practiced today. She reframes burnout as information — not failure — and explains why self-care, PTO, and vacations can help temporarily, but won't fix a career that's structurally misaligned with your life.Tracy walks through the invisible work that drains clinicians, how values drift over time, and why so many PAs internalize system-level problems as personal shortcomings. She then offers a grounded, realistic four-step process to help you begin redesigning your career without blowing up your life, quitting tomorrow, or burning bridges.This episode is a reminder that you're not broken — and that you're allowed to evolve. You can love medicine and love your life. And you can practice in a way that feels like you again.Mentioned in this episode:Find Your Why by Simon SinekSPONSORS: ADVANCED PRACTICE PLANNING, LLC: advancedpracticeplanning.com/fiSERMO https://app.sermo.com:443/?sermoref=39d97a2c-f699-4f8b-b2f9-1eb131e18c75&utm_campaign=tell-a-friend CONNECT ⁠FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT⁠ ⁠⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call⁠ ⁠ ⁠1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT ⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate⁠⁠CONNECT WITH TRACY

In this eye-opening episode of Body Bangin', I sat down with Kevin Dunn (Founder/CEO) and Richie Seaberry (VP of Sales) from Decisely to discuss the "silent crisis" in collision repair… and the benefits strategy that is changing how we retain talent.Decisely has partnered with SCRS to bring big-business benefits to independent shops. In this conversation, we break down why the "tough it out" mentality is destroying shop culture, why employees in 2026 are demanding support over just "more money", and how offering the right plan can literally save a life.This episode is a wake-up call for every shop owner who thinks health insurance is just a line item expense, it is actually your first line of defense.What You'll Learn in This Episode:

Heirloom chrysanthemums fill an important role for local growers- as very late bloomers they can be one of the last flowers in the fall to keep cash flow going after others have succumbed to the cold. Our guest this week, Kate Dagnal of Goose Creek Gardens, grows thousands of bouquets every year for grocery stores, and heirloom chrysanthemums are the anchor flower she uses to finish out the season. In this interview we go deep on everything you need to know to grow great heirloom chrysanthemums, including propagation, growing, harvesting and postharvest.We discuss why new varieties of mums aren't being sold in the US (thus the term “heirloom”) and some important differences mums have from other flowers- they need to be propagated from cuttings, and day length is what triggers them to bloom. Heirloom mums come in a wide range of shapes and colors- from big focal flowers to delicate sprays- so they can play many different roles in late season design work. They also have excellent vase life if handled properly- listen to this week's interview for everything from how to propagate, what stage to harvest, how much frost protection they need, how to handle after harvest, favorite varieties and more! Connect With Guest:Website: goosecreekgardens.comInstagram: @goosecreekgardens Free companion article:All about chrysanthemums by Rebecca Kutzer-Rice from Growing for Market MagazineHuge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

In this episode, we dive into a game-changing Ivy Exec article exposing the gap between flashy workplace perks and what employees truly value for retention and satisfaction—think flexibility, mental health support, and financial security over office ping-pong tables. Core Shift in Benefits: Leaders waste budgets on trendy amenities while employees crave practical supports that ease daily stress, like usable PTO and hybrid work options. Top Used Benefits: Comprehensive health coverage, retirement matching, and simple-access mental health resources top the list, with high adoption when they're straightforward and stigma-free. Flexibility Wins: Predictable time off and work autonomy beat "unlimited PTO" policies that no one dares to use, directly impacting job choices. Key Takeaways Audit usage data to cut underutilized perks and fund high-impact areas like therapy stipends, debt assistance, and career coaching. Normalize mental health days and financial wellness programs to build loyalty amid burnout trends. Co-design benefits with employee input for relevance, plus clear communication to boost satisfaction.   Subscribe to The Breakfast Leadership Show for more on burnout-proof cultures.

In this critical episode of The Gritty Nurse Podcast, Amie Archibald-Varley hosts Kara Yates, RN (WSNA Union Co-Chair) and Therese Hill, BSN, RN(Membership Officer) to discuss a historic turning point for nursing in Washington. This conversation goes beyond the headlines, exploring the dire conditions that led nurses to the negotiation table. We expose how stalled contract negotiations have endangered patient safety, fueled critical staffing shortages, and allowed workplace violence to escalate—all while the hospital remains highly profitable. But since the episode, things have changed.  For the first time in its 118-year history, nurses at Seattle Children's Hospital have overwhelmingly authorized a strike. Yates and Hill detail the nurses' core demands, emphasizing that the potential strike is not about wages alone but is a necessary action to protect the community's children by ensuring safe staffing and a workplace where nurses can heal without losing their PTO after being assaulted. Hear firsthand why this show of unity is a powerful mandate for change, and why community support is now vital to pushing the hospital to prioritize care over corporate profit.

This week Michalina Hunter tells us how she got so interested in perennial vegetables that she started a seed company specializing in them, Cicada Seeds! In this interview with host April Parms Jones, we hear about the advantages of vegetables that you can plant once and harvest many times, including crops like skirret, spinach vine, perennial kale, perpetual leeks, perennial celery, sweet lettuce and more.They also talk about how to propagate perennial crops, since some of them involve techniques like cold stratification or vegetative propagation to get them going. Lastly, they discuss how to prepare ground for crops that are going to be there for the long haul, including the importance of soil health, and the participatory research project Michalina is starting to get feedback from growers on these perennial crops. Connect With Guest:Website: cicadaseeds.caInstagram: @cicadaseeds Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Rimol Greenhouse Systems designs and manufactures greenhouses that are built to be intensely rugged, reliably durable, and uniquely attractive – to meet all your growing needs.

When employees hear “employee benefits,” they might think of healthcare, perks, wellness programs, PTO, 401(k) plans or disability coverage. But when HR professionals hear “employee benefits,” they're likely thinking about cost management, compensation strategies, open enrollment, and—most importantly—compliance. Compliance is a cornerstone of today's insurance landscape. With that in mind, let's dive into your January 2026 breakdown of Compliance in Motion.

This week, we kick off 2026 by talking about Ambrosia Sky, a short, atmospheric sci-fi game that quietly wrecked us more than we expected. What starts as a PowerWash-adjacent cleanup sim turns into a meditation on grief, abandonment, and the emotional cost of leaving home. We talk about why smaller, constrained games are thriving right now, how Ambrosia Sky uses limitation as a strength, and why finishing Act One left us with far more questions than answers — in the best possible way.  Episode Notes We open the first episode of 2026 in full post-holiday time confusion: strange schedules, too much work, and no reliable sense of what day it is.Eden talks about covering extra shifts at the comic shop, double-dipping PTO, and the unfortunate result of biking home in brutal weather and bruising their ribs.A digression on sleep rituals follows, including Peter's famously corpse-like sleeping position and Eden's highly specific side-switching requirements.With it being January 1st, we reflect on 2025 as a pop-culture year — broadly rough, but not without meaningful discoveries.We note a shared shift toward shorter, more focused media, especially in games.

Jared's answering Slack messages from a cabana in Tulum, mouse jiggler running, calendar blocked just enough to avoid suspicion. This episode of The Lonely Office explores the rise of “quiet vacationing,” why nearly half of workers admit to doing it, and what it reveals about trust, PTO, and modern workplace culture. Is this a clever workaround—or a sign something deeper is broken at work?

Farmers are used to the idea of fertilizing with manure, however one species' output is usually not used: our own. This is despite the fact that effluent from water treatment is a large contributor to excess nitrogen in our waterways and the nutrient pollution that's responsible for the “dead zone” in the Gulf of Mexico. If we could recapture those nutrients, not only could it give farmers a cheap, readily-available source of fertility, but it would reduce the amount of pollution going into our waterways.Our three guests this week just finished a SARE grant project looking at using urine as a fertilizer. Tatiana Schreiber and Abe Noe-Hays are from the Rich Earth Institute, and Deborah Aller is at Cornell University, and on this week's podcast they tell us what they learned looking at the soil health impacts and farmer perspectives on using various forms of human waste and control treatments for fertilizer. They tell us what products they used, how farmers can make use of them, and how this technology might be scaled up in the future. Connect With Guest:Website: richearthinstitute.orgInstagram: @peecyclers Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Since 1972 Ohio Earth Food has been the go-to source for soil testing, consulting as well as the highest performing and most cost effective granular and liquid fertilizers, seed starting soils, foliar sprays and disease and insect controls.

There are very few one-size-fits-all solutions in agriculture- most things depend on the weather, soil, pests, diseases and a host of other conditions for a particular farm. One of the most exciting trends in agriculture right now is the development of varieties that are suited to specific regional conditions. Common Wealth Seed Growers breeds open-pollinated vegetable varieties that are adapted to their region- in this case the southern USA.This week's guest Edmund Frost has managed seed production and research at Twin Oaks Seed Farm in Central Virginia since 2008. He also leads Common Wealth Seed Growers, a small, farm-based seed company with a commitment to regional production, adaptation and research based in Virginia. In this interview we discuss what traits they are breeding for in the Southeast, how they breed for resistance to the pests and diseases of the region, dehybridization, tropical pumpkins, new types of sweet corn that may have an advantage in the South, and more! Connect With Guest:Website: commonwealthseeds.comInstagram: @commonwealthseed Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

Ben & Woods kick off the 9am hour with The Reindl Report and a couple of Paulie's top stories of the day, including how we can all maximize our PTO in 2026. Then we get to our NFL Threesome segment this week before we wrap up the show by checking in with Derek Togerson who on Sunday will take over as PA announcer for the San Diego Seals!

On this week's episode of Find Your Dream Job, HR expert Marcia Torres shares why your starting salary influences future raises, bonuses, and long-term earning potential — and why employers expect candidates to ask questions, review their offers carefully, and advocate for what they need. Marcia also talks about the value of taking 24 hours to read through an offer, getting clear on your bottom line, and using reliable salary data to understand where you should land in a range. She then walks through what candidates can negotiate beyond base pay, including job titles, professional development funds, PTO, and other benefits that make up a full compensation package. Marcia offers practical, down-to-earth guidance on how to approach these conversations collaboratively, build rapport with recruiters, and make a thoughtful decision about your next role.

Episode 301 – Chair Company, Bagonia & the Anxiety of Being Extremely Online Matt and Bob are back “to pod” and this week they're double-featuring two very different brands of unhinged: Tim Robinson's The Chair Company on HBO and Yorgos Lanthimos' new black comedy Bagonia. First up, they break down why Chair Company's pilot might be an all-timer — deviled eggs, mall-restaurant discourse, wheelbarrow talk, and HR meetings about accidental upskirt eye contact — but why the season's tone, length, and “Scrooge porn” detours make it a tougher hang than I Think You Should Leave or Friendship. There's bouncer Mike, Wazy Wanes, giant wieners, and the eternal question: how many huge bits are too many huge bits? Then they head into the basement with Bagonia, digging into Jesse Plemons' beautifully weird performance, Emma Stone's corporate-speak alien CEO, and a story that sits somewhere between Ari Aster dread and Wes Anderson precision. They unpack conspiracy-brain vs. Big Pharma, torture in a foil-lined basement, corporate “no PTO, but take all the time you need” doublespeak, and an ending that somehow manages to combine telekinesis, exploding heads, and puffy tribunal aliens in a way that's both dark and oddly funny. Along the way, the guys shout out Jim Downey's late-career run, Will Tracy's Onion/Succession DNA, and close with a few rapid-fire watches on their radar: Train Dreams, J. Kelly, Task, Hamnet, and the Safdies' Christmas chaos ride Marty Supreme. If you've ever fallen down a conspiracy rabbit hole, worked in a soul-sucking office, or just love watching deeply weird men completely derail their lives, this one's for you

Jen Aron is an agroecologist and owner of Blue Raven Farm in Corbett, Oregon. She also worked as a farm educator for seven years with Oregon State University Extension. About five years ago, Jen wrote four articles for Growing for Market Magazine talking about how she built her farm on raw land east of Portland, Oregon, focusing on creating a healthy soil ecosystem and dealing with a whole slew of pest and disease problems along the way.The thread running through Jen's work and her articles is both the wonder and the power of healthy soil to grow healthy crops, and how to deal with the challenges we have in farming through soil-based solutions. So, I wasn't entirely surprised to hear that Jen recently went through an intensive 650-plus hour agro-ecology course with Nicole Masters, which has completely reshaped how she approaches on-farm consulting, education, nutrient applications, biology, soil testing, and weed management. Listen to this podcast episode for a deep dive into soil health and hear how Jen is applying what she's learned at the decade mark of Blue Raven Farm. Connect With Guest:Free article by Jen Aron from Growing for Market Magazine: Microbes for land repair: A 5-year eco-farming trialWebsite: blueravenfarm.orgInstagram: @blue_raven_farm Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support: Seven Springs Farm Supply is a farm-based supply company focused on serving market gardeners and has been in business for 35 years.

This week on Anime Pulse we got discount Hooter girls, graduating Hololive talent, and waifus & husbandos. Up first Joseph got hit with his first major snow storm of the year, and Andrew has been spending his leftover PTO before the end of the year. Then in the industry news a Gen 4 member of Hololive is moving on with her life, for good. And finally in the reviews Joseph meets a beer selling gal girl at a baseball stadium, and Andrew places all his bets on a horse named Narita Top Road.

When employees hear “employee benefits,” they might think of healthcare, perks, wellness programs, PTO, 401(k) plans or disability coverage.

Compliance is a cornerstone of today's insurance landscape. With that in mind, let's dive into your December 2025 breakdown of Compliance in Motion.

When Elizabeth Lutz Kelly's flower growing hobby turned into a business, it outgrew the space she had available in her yard in Akron, Ohio. Even though there wasn't a lot of open space, she asked around her neighborhood and found places that could be growing crops that weren't. Thus she was able to expand her business with one of the most viable strategies for growing a farm without having to buy more land.In this interview we hear about Elizabeth's strategies for growing a lot of flowers in a small area, what crops she grows and how she markets them locally. We also hear about how her dahlia breeding project has led to submitting a variety for possible naming by the American Dahlia Society. We also hear why she's planting more perennials for cut flowers all year round, how she moves them through her farmstand, and more in this week's interview with host April Parms Jones! Connect With Guest:Website: happydragonflowerfarm.comInstagram: @happydragonflowerfarmFacebook: Akron Garden Share Podcast Sponsors: Huge thanks to our podcast sponsors as they make this podcast FREE to everyone with their generous support:This episode is brought to you by Tend, the all-in-one, AI-powered farm management platform trusted by modern growers.

Spoilers for Welcome to Derry Episode 3! Thumb War returns to Derry, Maine, where the sewers are wet, the ghost children look like Spirit Halloween interns, and the cemetery scene feels one jump scare away from a discount haunted house behind a Home Depot. After two strong episodes, Episode 3 might be our first real stumble of the season. We break down: Did the show blow its horror budget in Episodes 1 & 2? Are these ghost kid vibes spooky or just… sticky? Why does the community meeting scene feel like mid-season Canadian public access TV? Are we in Derry or at Canada's Wonderland Fright Night? Pennywise lore updates (even though he may be on PTO this week) We still love the show, but we also reserve the right to yell at it.

In today's episode of Backpacker Radio presented by The Trek, brought to you by Topo Athletic, we are joined by Amy Hunsucker. On trail, Amy is known as "Slider" because she hikes with a trombone- something she's done for the entire triple crown. We of course learn all about this fun quirk, including which animals were most appreciative of her on-trail concerts, which parts of trail provided the best acoustics, the reactions she'd get from other hikers and the broader trail community, and her go-to on-trail trombone jams. Slider also gives us the low down on getting her sawyer certification, her trail maintenance work with the Carolina Mountain Club, hiking South Dakota's Centennial Trail, and life as a hiking guide in North Carolina. We wrap the show with the pieces of thru-hiking advice we wish we'd never given, Chaunce gives her take of whether she'd rather be alone in the woods with a man or a bear, we do the triple crown of freezer foods, I give a one-minute gear review of my current rain jacket, and a listener lectures us on how we dropped the ball on our interview with Liz Kidder.

The Vegas Golden Knights have signed Carter Hart to a PTO after he was acquitted in the Hockey Canada Five trial. Roy, David, and Ethan offer their thoughts on the signing and what this says about the state of the league. Roy and David have some huge concerns about the New York Rangers' offense and how it compares to the early 2000s Florida Panthers, and Ethan thinks the Chicago Blackhawks might finally have some juice this year. Rose is back and joins in on the fun in wins and fails of the week, which include a fight that knocked the lights out, the refs in Panthers-Devils having a rough go, and Billy Gil's departure from the show. Shayna Goldman of The Athletic joins the show and brings the heat on the Carter Hart issue, and tells us why her Rangers are struggling so much and whether there is any hope their offense will get going. She also weighs in on the Blackhawks, whether Martin Necas will cash in some time soon, and how exciting the Montreal Canadiens are. Finally, the gang steps into the Panthers Den to break down what was a rough week for the two-time defending Stanley Cup Champions. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices
