Quotes from the episode: "Good enough isn't a fixed point. It's a moving target shaped by goals, expectations, and consequences." "Perfection can push us forward, but it can also quietly pull us off track." "If I delivered what I promised, in the time promised, using the resources promised, that is good enough for me." "The real skill is knowing when extra effort adds value and when it just adds ego."   In this solo monologue episode, Eric Kaiser explores a deceptively simple question: Can good enough be perfect? Drawing on years of experience in the trades, Eric reflects on how deeply perfectionism runs in technical work and how it can both elevate quality and quietly work against efficiency, clarity, and outcomes.   Using a favorite quote from Dan Holohan, Eric reframes "good enough" not as mediocrity, but as work that meets the right goals, expectations, and time horizons. He walks through practical parameters that define when good enough truly is perfect, including the intended lifespan of the work, customer and regulatory expectations, available resources, and the real consequences of pushing beyond what the situation requires.   Eric closes by offering a simple but powerful three-question test to evaluate our own work:    Did I deliver what was promised?    Was it done in the promised timeframe?    And did I use the promised resources?   If the answer is yes to all three, then maybe, just maybe, the work was perfectly good enough.     This episode was recorded in December 2025.

Today's guest is Hayden Mitchell, Ph.D.  Hayden is a sports performance coach, educator, and researcher specializing in movement ecology and pedagogy, helping coaches design environments that support learning, resilience, self-actualization, and sustainable athletic performance through play and exploration. There is a great deal of conversation in sports performance around methods, including exercises, drills, systems, and models, but far less attention is given to coaching itself. Coaching methodology quietly shapes how athletes experience training, how they relate to challenge and failure, and ultimately how fully they are able to express themselves in performance. On the show today, Hayden speaks about exploring how coaching and physical education shape not just performance, but the whole human being. Hayden shares his path through sport, teaching, and doctoral work, including how life experiences changed his approach to leadership, control, and play. Together they discuss movement ecology, value orientations in coaching, such as mastery, learning process, self-actualization, social responsibility, and ecological integration, and why environment often matters as much as programming. The conversation highlights rhythm, joy, and exploration, along with practical ways coaches can use restraint, better questions, and playful constraints to help athletes own their development.

(https://www.just-fly-sports.com/podcast-home/) Timestamps 0:00 – Hayden's coaching background 6:42 – Learning through experimentation 13:55 – Movement quality versus output 21:18 – Constraints based coaching 30:07 – Strength that transfers 39:50 – Variability and resilience 48:26 – Developing youth athletes 57:41 – Decision-making under fatigue 1:06:10 – Simplifying training programs 1:14:22 – Long term coaching philosophy Actionable Takeaways 6:42 – Learning through experimentation builds better coaches and athletes. Early coaching growth often comes from trying ideas, observing outcomes, and refining approaches. Allow room for trial and error in training rather than locking into rigid systems too early. Encourage athletes to feel and explore movement solutions instead of chasing perfect reps. Reflection after sessions helps clarify what actually transferred versus what just looked good. 13:55 – Movement quality creates the foundation for sustainable performance. Chasing outputs too early can hide inefficient movement strategies. Build positions, shapes, and rhythm before emphasizing max speed or max load. Use submaximal work to groove coordination and reduce compensation patterns. Improved movement quality often raises outputs without directly training them. 21:18 – Constraints guide learning better than constant verbal correction. Design drills that naturally guide athletes toward desired solutions. Reduce cue overload by letting the task do the teaching. Constraints promote adaptability instead of dependency on coaching feedback. This approach scales well in team settings with limited coaching bandwidth. 30:07 – Strength training should support movement, not replace it. Choose lifts that reinforce postures and force directions seen in sport. Avoid chasing strength numbers that disrupt rhythm or coordination. Use strength work to enhance confidence and robustness, not fatigue accumulation. Strong athletes still need to move well under dynamic conditions. 39:50 – Variability is a key driver of resilience. Expose athletes to multiple movement patterns and speeds. Avoid over standardizing drills to the point of robotic execution. Small variations build adaptability without sacrificing intent. Resilient athletes tolerate change better during competition. 48:26 – Youth athletes need exposure, not specialization. Prioritize broad skill development over early performance metrics. Multiple sports and movement environments improve long term ceilings. Avoid labeling young athletes too early based on temporary traits. Early diversity reduces burnout and overuse issues. 57:41 – Decision-making matters when athletes are tired. Fatigue reveals movement habits and decision quality. Train cognition alongside physical outputs when appropriate. Simple competitive games expose real world decision challenges. Performance under fatigue reflects true readiness. 1:06:10 – Simple programs executed well outperform complex plans done poorly. Clarity improves athlete buy in and consistency. Fewer exercises done with intent beat bloated sessions. Complexity should serve adaptation, not ego. Great programs are easy to repeat and sustain. 1:14:22 – Long term development requires patience and perspective. Short term gains should not compromise future potential. Progress is rarely linear, especially in young athletes. Coaching success is measured in years, not weeks. Build athletes you would want to train again in five years. Quotes from Hayden “Good movement solves a lot of problems before strength ever enters the conversation.” “When you design the environment well, you do not need to talk nearly as much.” “Outputs are easy to measure, but they are not always the most important thing.” “Variability is not chaos. It is preparation.” “Athletes who only know one solution struggle when conditions change.” “Young athletes do not need more specialization, they need more experiences.” “Strength should support expression, not restrict it.” “Simple does not mean easy. It means intentional.” “Fatigue exposes habits, not flaws.” “The goal is not just better athletes, but athletes who last.” About Hayden Mitchell Hayden Mitchell, PhD is a sports performance coach, educator, and researcher whose work sits at the intersection of movement ecology, pedagogy, and human development. He has coached and taught across a wide range of settings, from youth and collegiate sport to military, adaptive populations, and general fitness, working with ages 4 to 90. Hayden holds a doctorate in Human Performance and Sport Pedagogy and focuses on how environment, values, and teaching behaviors shape learning, resilience, and performance. His work emphasizes play, rhythm, and self-actualization, helping coaches and athletes move beyond rigid systems toward practices that develop both performance capacity and the whole human being.

Read along with the original article(s) here: https://www.nirandfar.com/raisemoney/ Quotes to ponder: "Investors are a lot more compelled to invest if there is $100,000 left in a $1m round then if there is $900,000 still available." "Social proof, in essence, is the herd instinct: people are more compelled to do something if others are already doing it." "Make up your own mind. Don't follow the herd. Don't chase."

What does it actually look like to evolve from growing a massive online audience to stepping into true thought leadership? In this episode, I'm sitting down with Cory Ruth, registered dietitian, PCOS expert, long-time 1:1 client, and now published author of "PCOS Is My Power".  Cory and I have been connected for over six years, so having this conversation at the moment she's launching her book feels incredibly full circle. We talk about how Cory built a large, loyal Instagram audience without chasing trends or watering down her expertise, and why writing a book became the natural next step in her authority as a dietitian entrepreneur.  Cory shares what it took to turn years of clinical experience and content creation into a traditionally published book, why credibility matters more than virality, and how staying grounded in her mission has created long-term trust and staying power in her business. If you're a health or wellness entrepreneur who wants to be respected as an expert, build authority beyond social media, and create impact that lasts, this episode is a powerful example of what that evolution can look like. Episode Timeline & Highlights [00:00] – Why entrepreneurs feel pressure to choose between being relatable and being respected [03:08] – Cory's early business journey and what it takes to stay in one niche long-term [07:55] – Why PCOS and women's health are still underserved in traditional education [13:53] – The blood sugar breakthrough that shaped Cory's personal health and professional focus [19:11] – The rise of misinformation online and why credentials still matter [22:12] – Behind the scenes of the book: why Cory wrote "PCOS Is My Power" [27:29] – What traditional publishing really looks like for a dietitian entrepreneur [32:09] – How creating courses and writing a book follow the same authority-building framework [35:44] – Balancing credibility, personality, and leadership on social media [47:01] – Cory's vision for her book and the impact she wants it to have Top 5 Quotes from Cory Ruth "I aim to be the person I wish I had when I was really struggling in the trenches of this diagnosis." "We needed one medically sound, evidence-based PCOS book written by a registered dietitian without a food agenda." "Credibility matters more than virality, especially when you're putting health information out into the world." "If you're creating content, you already have a book, you just don't realize it yet." "PCOS doesn't have to take your power away. It can actually put you back in the driver's seat of your health."

Season 2 of On the Balcony continues by looking sideways — exploring frameworks that stretch Adaptive Leadership into new terrain.In this episode, Michael Koehler sits down with Judit Teichert, Managing Director and Partner at KONU Germany. Judit's work is shaped by her background as a licensed psychotherapist trained in cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and more than a decade of coaching and facilitation around adaptive leadership and adult development with teams and organizations across Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and the U.S.The conversation explores a question that sits quietly underneath so much leadership work: If we already understand the challenge, why is change still so hard?Judit's answer: insight alone isn't enough. We need practice — repeated iterations that build new pathways, not just in our thinking, but in our emotions, behaviors, and relationships. Change requires more than understanding. It requires reps.This episode also spends time with loss — not as something to fix or rush past, but as something that needs to be named, held, and lived through if change is going to last.Stay With What You're LearningEach episode, we send a short reflection and one resource to go deeper — things we don't include in the show.Sign up for the On the Balcony newsletter: konu.org/balconyWhat You'll Explore in This EpisodeThe triangle of change: thinking, feeling, actingHow cognitive behavioral therapy offers multiple entry points into change — and why limiting ourselves to "thinking our way" into new behavior often falls short.Why insight isn't enoughThe gap between understanding a pattern and actually changing it. Why we underestimate how many iterations — how many "reps" — real change requires.Practice as pathway-buildingThe metaphor of building a road through a jungle: the first time you take a new route, everything is unfamiliar and threatening. Only through repetition does a path become a highway.Managing loss in organizationsWhy naming loss is both diagnosis and intervention. How holding space — without rushing to solutions — allows groups to grieve and then reorient on their own terms.The role of ritual and structure in griefWhat we can learn from cultural and religious traditions about allocating time and space for mourning — and why organizations often skip this step.Reframing loss as sacrificeHow, after grief has been processed, framing loss as "in service of something bigger" can restore meaning and commitment.A live example from client workHow one organization combined adaptive leadership diagnosis with CBT-informed skills practice — role-playing difficult conversations repeatedly to build new muscles for candor.Quotes from This Episode"I think sometimes we underestimate how much practice, how many flight hours or reps it takes to actually change." — Judit Teichert"When you take a new route the first time, you're in a deep jungle. You don't know what the next step looks like. That's why it feels so tense and sometimes threatening to do something you've never learned to do before." — Judit Teichert"Paradoxically, one of the strategies to manage loss is not to manage — but to hold." — Judit Teichert"Grief and sadness — their function is to support us to reorient. If we don't take that time, we're clinging to something and we cannot wholeheartedly commit to something new." — Judit Teichert"There's a deep hole in the sidewalk. I walk around it. And there's like the absence of any drama in that sentence. That's one of the biggest changes." — Judit...

As the year comes to a close, many people feel it. A mix of relief, pressure, and a quiet sense that something needs to change. Not because they failed, but because despite doing many things right, the year felt heavier than expected. In this episode, Dr. Christopher K. Bray explores a different way to approach the New Year. Instead of setting bigger goals or trying to fix yourself, he invites you to stop and look at two things that may be quietly holding you back. The first is the automatic behavior that shows up when you are under pressure. How you communicate. How you protect yourself. How you react when you feel stressed, misunderstood, or emotionally charged. The second is how you are carrying the harder parts of life, like loneliness, uncertainty, past hurt, or the feeling that progress has stalled. Blending neuroscience, psychology, and deeply human insight, this conversation explains why these patterns exist, how the brain holds onto them, and why they may no longer be serving you. More importantly, it offers a compassionate path forward that does not require becoming someone new, but letting go of what no longer fits. If you want 2026 to feel lighter, more grounded, and more aligned, this episode offers a powerful place to start. Not by doing more, but by stopping the right things. Quotes by Dr. Bray "Most people aren't stuck because they lack motivation; they're stuck because they keep carrying the same patterns into every new season." "Real transformation doesn't begin with doing more; it begins with stopping what no longer serves you." "When emotional weight is carried silently, the brain stays in a low-level threat state." "Under stress, the brain doesn't choose the best response—it chooses the most familiar one."
