What if making your product harder to access was the secret to increasing demand? That's the counterintuitive strategy sisters Olivia and Chloe Ferro bet on to catapult their startup SheMed to over 20,000 sign-ups in just a few months. As the UK's first female-focused GLP-1 program, SheMed entered a crowded weight-loss market—but instead of competing on convenience, they bet on credibility. By requiring mandatory blood tests before prescribing medication, they not only differentiated themselves but uncovered a staggering insight: 99% of applicants had undiagnosed health conditions. The payoff? A 3X surge in inbound leads, a 120% increase in patient sign-ups, and high-trust partnerships with major clinics—all fueled by a safety-first approach that turned medical rigor into a viral growth lever. If you've ever worried that implementing stricter client or customer qualifications might slow your sales, this case study is an excellent reminder that trust is your most powerful conversion strategy.

In this episode, we delve into the inspiring journeys of two standout wrestlers from Grayslake Central High School: Gianna and Vince. Hosted by our ever-enthusiastic Speaker 1, this episode is a testament to the power of community support, dedication, and breaking barriers in sports. Meet the Wrestlers: Gianna and Vince Gianna's Journey Gianna, a junior at Grayslake Central High School, began her wrestling journey in the fourth grade. Her story is one of resilience and breaking gender barriers. During her freshman year, she was the only girl on the boys' varsity lineup. Despite the challenges, she persevered and transitioned to wrestling exclusively against girls in her sophomore year. This year, she achieved a significant milestone by taking third place at the state competition. Vince's Journey Vince, a sophomore, started wrestling at the age of nine. His journey is marked by continuous improvement and dedication. After taking fourth place last year, he improved to second place this year at the state competition. Vince's story is a testament to the importance of perseverance and hard work. The Growth of Girls' Wrestling Gianna's Experience Gianna's experience wrestling boys during her freshman year was challenging but rewarding. With the support of her coach, Joseph, she competed on the boys' lineup. Her father also played a crucial role by becoming the volunteer coach for the girls' team. Together, they worked to recruit more girls, successfully forming a team of 11 girls this year. This marks the first year Grayslake Central had a girls' wrestling team. The Rapid Growth in Illinois The growth of girls' wrestling in Illinois has been remarkable. Every school in their conference now has a full girls' team, highlighting the rapid expansion and increasing popularity of the sport. Training and Competition Dynamics Training with Boys Gianna continues to train with the boys, including Vince, who serves as one of her main practice partners. She believes that training with boys has helped her develop toughness and strength, giving her an edge in competitions against girls. Vince's Perspective Vince shares his perspective on wrestling Gianna, noting that he has a sister, so he is accustomed to wrestling girls. The host humorously asks who would win in a match between them, to which they both respond that it depends on the day. Wrestling Backgrounds Vince's Early Days Vince started at the Grayslake Wrestling Club in fourth grade. Despite setbacks due to the COVID-19 pandemic, he continued to train at home with his brother, which helped him improve significantly. By eighth grade, he went undefeated and won the state championship. Gianna's Early Days Gianna initially joined the sport to support her younger brother. Encouraged by her coaches, she found potential in herself and continued to wrestle at the Lake Zurich Wrestling Club until sixth grade. She then participated in middle school wrestling, where she made it to sectionals and became the first girl in her district's history to qualify for state. Future Goals and Community Support Gianna's Aspirations Gianna aims to win a state title next year. She also plans to return to competitive cheer for her senior year, balancing her passion for both sports. Vince's Aspirations Vince aspires to bring home a state title after finishing second this year. He emphasizes the competitive nature of high school wrestling and the need to continually prove himself. Community Support The sense of community surrounding the wrestling program is strong. Vince mentions that Warren Nash, another teammate, qualified for state and had a remarkable season after recovering from an ACL injury. Gianna adds that their girls' team was composed of first-year wrestlers, with one girl, Miranda Tellez, coming close to qualifying for state. Life Lessons from Wrestling Dedication and Discipline Wrestling teaches dedication and the importance of doing what is necessary to achieve goals, even when it is challenging. The sport requires discipline, as athletes must wake up early for practices and workouts. College Wrestling Plans Both Gianna and Vince express their desire to continue wrestling in college. Gianna is exploring colleges and keeping an open mind about her choices, while Vince prefers to stay close to home due to family ties. Influences and Inspirations Gianna's Mentors Gianna cites Maddy Jones, a former wrestler, as a mentor and supportive figure in her journey. She appreciates his guidance and encouragement, especially during her early days in the sport. Vince's Role Models Vince reflects on the influence of the Kramer brothers, who were successful wrestlers in the area. He admires their achievements and aspires to follow in their footsteps as he progresses in his wrestling career. Community and Coaches Gratitude for Coaches Both wrestlers express gratitude for their coaches. Gianna thanks her early coaches, including Mike and Kyle Zarek, as well as Coach Joseph for his support. Vince mentions his first club coach, August Trexler, and the impact he had on his early wrestling career. The Role of Community Gianna and Vince appreciate the close-knit nature of the Grayslake community, where everyone supports one another and celebrates each other's accomplishments. The host encourages the community to support local wrestling, whether through attendance at matches or by contributing to wrestling clubs. Final Thoughts Encouraging Future Wrestlers Gianna encourages other girls to try wrestling, reassuring them that it's okay if they don't enjoy it—at least they will have tried. She emphasizes the importance of breaking down gender barriers and pursuing passions regardless of societal expectations. Acts of Kindness The host concludes the episode by reminding listeners of the importance of kindness in everyday interactions. They encourage everyone to perform small acts of kindness, reinforcing the idea that even simple gestures can make a significant impact on the world around us. Conclusion This episode of "Discovering Grayslake" not only celebrates the achievements of young athletes but also highlights the importance of community support, mentorship, and the courage to challenge societal norms. Gianna and Vince's stories serve as an inspiration for others, demonstrating that with dedication and support, anything is possible.

What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business?   One of the most effective tools for growing a small business is leveraging Google Reviews and SEO to improve online visibility. Customer relationship management (CRM) software like HubSpot or ActiveCampaign can help manage customer interactions and automate marketing. Automation tools like Zapier can streamline operations and save time by connecting different apps and services.   5. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business?   If I could give myself advice on day one, I would emphasize the importance of focusing on building systems rather than just working hard. Patience is key—success doesn't happen overnight, and consistent effort pays off in the long run. Networking and building relationships early on can open doors to new opportunities. Lastly, keeping a close eye on finances from the beginning can prevent many future challenges. Book a 20-minute Growth Chat with Troy Trewin to see if you qualify for our upcoming course.

Show genuine interest in their work and listen to their insights. Offer employees the autonomy and decision-making power akin to that of an owner. Recognize their potential to contribute to the company's success and trust them with more responsibility.  Develop a clear, actionable mantra that reflects the values and goals of the company. This helps employees understand and align with the company's vision and mission. Implement a system of recognition to motivate employees. A simple thank you or a public acknowledgment of hard work can significantly boost morale. Understand that culture is more about how employees feel and how engaged they are, rather than just perks. Cultivate an atmosphere where employees look forward to coming to work and are proud of their contributions

Mixed reality (MR) gaming startup MixRift has revealed significant growth milestones as the mixed reality gaming market approaches an inflection point. With IDC forecasting global XR headset shipments to surge 44.2% to 9.7 million units in 2024, MixRift's strategy to focus on accessible, casual gaming has put them ahead of the curve. In 2024, the company secured $1.6M in pre-seed funding in just seven weeks from leading investors including Outsized Ventures, Underline Ventures, and SOSV. Their rapid fundraise demonstrated growing investor confidence in MixRift's vision to lead the 'casual revolution' in MR gaming. MixRift's strategy of prioritising game mechanics and rapid prototyping over big-title launches has delivered strong results. Hell Horde, its free-to-play survival game, has achieved a 4.5-star rating in the past 30 days and already has over 150,000 installs on Meta Quest, increasing daily. The company has also launched successful games, Fractured, a mixed reality 3D puzzle game available on both Apple Vision Pro and Meta Quest, and their latest launch, Crit Attack, a family-friendly arcade shooter designed for social play on Meta Quest. "While others chase buzzwords like AI, we're focusing on what matters - creating games people actually want to play," says Bobby Voicu, MixRift's CEO. "The surge in casual, social gaming experiences shows that mixed reality is moving beyond early adopters. With Meta Quest and Apple Vision Pro driving mainstream adoption, we're seeing unprecedented demand for accessible mixed reality games." Key Market Drivers: The mixed reality gaming landscape is experiencing a fundamental shift, with IDC projecting the global XR market to surpass $100 billion by 2026. The competitive dynamics between Meta and Apple are reshaping mixed reality adoption, with Meta Quest 3's accessibility and Vision Pro's premium positioning creating distinct market segments. This diversification, coupled with IDC's forecast signals a maturing ecosystem where manufacturers are pushing each other to innovate. Meta's focus on gaming and social experiences, alongside Apple's emphasis on productivity and premium entertainment, is expanding the overall market while driving rapid advancement in both hardware capabilities and content quality. Perhaps most significantly, family and social gaming are emerging as key growth drivers. With 29.2% CAGR expected in VR headset adoption through 2028, the industry is seeing a clear shift from solitary gaming experiences to more social, family-oriented content that brings people together in mixed reality environments. Since launching in 2024, MixRift has grown to an eight-person team, bringing on specialist developers and designers to deliver more advanced experiences. "Our strategic growth has significantly improved product quality," notes Voicu. "The tremendous response from our growing community guides our development, ensuring we create games that truly resonate with players." The company's focus on casual, accessible gaming aligns with emerging market trends. There's increasing demand for co-op and social gaming experiences, both in physical and virtual spaces. This shift, coupled with mainstream MR adoption driven by tech giants like Meta and Apple, creates significant opportunity for MixRift's approach to game development. With an ambitious roadmap for H1 2025, including three new game launches, MixRift is positioned to capitalise on the growing momentum in mixed reality gaming. "What the market needs is high-quality MR games, and our flexibility lets us dive into unique game mechanics built specifically for MR, improving the prototyping process, and learning from user feedback."

This is the most personal and unfiltered episode I've ever recorded. No notes. No outline. Just me, sharing the truth about the last six months of my life and business.I had my biggest launch ever—$176K. My mastermind filled with 19 incredible clients. On paper, I had “arrived.” So why did I feel like I was drowning?This episode is about:✔️ The ADHD burnout I didn't see coming and how it hit me after scaling my business✔️ Why success actually triggered more fear and pressure, not confidence✔️ How I learned to slow down without self-sabotaging my revenue✔️ The identity crisis of a first-gen daughter who built everything from scratch✔️ Motherhood, emotional labor, and why I finally let myself rest✔️ The moment I realized my daughter needed me more than my business didI'm bringing you behind the scenes of my hardest season in business yet, and how I'm emerging from it with more clarity, trust, and alignment.If you've ever felt the weight of your own success, struggled to slow down, or you're questioning how to sustain your business in a way that truly supports you—you're not alone.This conversation is proof that growth doesn't have to come at the cost of your well-being.Inside Reclamation, we build businesses that support our lives, not consume them.

From Capitol Hill to the mortgage industry, AI is everywhere. It's even finding its way into the halls of government. But while AI promises innovation, it's also raising a ton of questions—especially for policymakers.Last year, Congress introduced over 350 AI-related bills, and while many of these bills simply served to spark debate, it's clear that lawmakers are considering everything from data privacy to mitigating bias in algorithms. Now, with a new Congress in session, the real question is: will AI regulation finally take center stage?Although no property-focused AI bills made it to the floor last session, there's been plenty of groundwork. From Senate hearings on AI in financial services to conversations about the technology's impact on housing, policymakers have been laying the foundation for regulation. One theme keeps emerging: the need to balance innovation with fairness.Technology often moves faster than regulation, but if regulators move too fast or ignore industry concerns, it could stall progress. And then there's the wildcard: the Supreme Court's 2024 repeal of the Chevron doctrine, which shifted interpretive power from agencies to the courts. This means Congress now has to be ultra-specific when drafting laws, which could further slow regulation initiatives.The future of AI regulation may be uncertain, but one thing's clear: the stakes couldn't be higher. In this episode of Core Conversations, host Maiclaire Bolton Smith and Russell McIntyre, an expert in public policy and industry relations at CoreLogic, discuss the need for AI regulation and how the government could approach this task.In This Episode:1:50 – Is the U.S. government currently regulating AI? What about AI in the property industry?5:19 – Whose responsibility is it to regulate AI?7:19 – How will the Chevron doctrine going to influence AI regulation in Congress?10:00 – What are the concerns and opportunities if AI regulations change in the property industry?12:28 – How will AI affect climate science?14:27 – Erika Stanley goes over the numbers in the property market with The Sip.15:26 – Is it impossible to eliminate inherent bias in AI technology?17:49 – How will the U.S. government handle AI and how can companies prepare for upcoming regulations around AI?Up Next: What Are the Ethical Implications of AI in the Property Industry?Links: What Are the Ethical Implications of AI in the Property Industry?SEC Climate Disclosure Guidance Timeline Pause: Why Companies BenefitExplore CoreLogic DataHazard HQ Command CentralRead CoreLogic Intelligence Find full episodes with all our guests in our podcast archive here: https://clgx.co/3HFslXD5 Copyright 2025 CoreLogic What Are the Ethical Implications of AI in the Property Industry?SEC Climate Disclosure Guidance Timeline...

Danyel Bischof-Forsyth, Chief Technology Officer at 7 Brew Coffee, joined Jamie Flinchbaugh on the People Solve Problems podcast to share her experiences leading technology transformation in a rapidly growing company. With 35 years of technology experience, including 28 years at Hallmark Cards and 5 years at Tyson Foods, Danyel brings extensive expertise to her role at 7 Brew Coffee, a drive-through beverage company experiencing explosive growth. Danyel explained that 7 Brew Coffee is expanding from 180 locations at the start of 2024 to 330 by year-end, with commitments for 3,000 future locations. Each location generates over $2 million in revenue, creating what Danyel describes as "growth like a rocket ship." To manage this rapid expansion, she has implemented both technological and human solutions. This includes daily stand-up meetings, monitoring systems for KPIs, ticketing systems, and comprehensive analytics. The daily stand-ups, led by a certified project manager, use a Kanban board to track progress and surface issues quickly. Danyel noted that while team members were initially skeptical about daily meetings, they've embraced the practice over the past year as they've seen its value in problem identification and cross-team learning. When it comes to problem-solving and ideation, Danyel emphasizes the importance of preparation. She actively maintains a network of fellow technologists in the Quick Service Restaurant (QSR) space to learn from their experiences. Before brainstorming sessions, her team researches industry practices and clearly defines the problem they're trying to solve. In balancing speed with thoroughness, Danyel uses the metaphor of "pouring concrete" - distinguishing between decisions that will have long-lasting implications and those that allow for experimentation. She considers factors such as system interconnectedness, organizational impact, and reversibility when determining which decisions require more rigorous analysis. When building her team from scratch, Danyel prioritized "high learning agility" as a key characteristic, knowing team members would need to handle diverse responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. She also strategically brought in specific expertise in project management, cybersecurity, and full-stack development. Danyel shared a valuable lesson about coaching less experienced team members, realizing she needed to adjust her questioning approach. Rather than assuming team members had already considered certain angles, she learned to help them develop their own problem-solving framework through more foundational questions.
