Episode Summary In this episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and co-host Road Dog deliver an energetic, honest deep-dive into core principles for coaching business success—from the real meaning of the 80/20 rule, the power (and pitfalls) of focus, and the truth about scaling and client retention, to addressing anxiety as the price of ambition. With playful banter and actionable wisdom, Karl busts common myths, unpacks the signal-to-noise concept with lessons from Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, and shares unique rules for coaches to build stronger, longer client relationships and higher-performing businesses. Key Topics Covered The Real 80/20 Principle in Business Karl Bryan explores how Steve Jobs' return to Apple and Nike's turnaround show 80/20 thinking in action—cutting unproductive offerings to amplify the best. Examples span from Google, McDonald's, and clothing companies to coaching: focus on the assets and relationships that drive the bulk of your results (03:14–08:00). Contrarian Takes on Coaching Advice Why "do what you love and money will follow" is overrated—do what you're good at, fall in love with sales, marketing, and solving problems (09:03). Challenging the E-Myth idea of leaving a business for six months: rare in reality, context matters. The myth of "multiple streams of income": not wise until your primary business is reliably selling at high volume for an extended period (13:09). Signal vs. Noise: Working Smarter, Not Harder Inspired by Steve Jobs and Elon Musk, Karl Bryan discusses eliminating "busywork" and prioritizing the vital few actions that make the boat go faster (19:31). How to apply signal-to-noise thinking in project planning, debates, and even national economic policy. Unique, Underdiscussed Coaching Rules Nothing in life (or business) is a straight line—it's all about adapting to unpredictable curves. The formula for failure: too much time and too many distractions. The formula for success: tight deadlines and single focus. Networking and environment: strategically positioning yourself in high-value places accelerates opportunities (29:53). Client Retention, Relationship Building, and Mindset Clients stay because they like you—make business relationships more personal and long-term. Life needs to break you to wake you—how overcoming adversity can be a launching pad for bigger breakthroughs. Addressing anxiety: the hidden currency of ambition, and why planning and taking action melts anxiety (41:14). Notable Quotes "Starve the trivial many so the vital few can do their magic and compound." "Do what you're good at—that's how you make lots of money. Fall in love with selling, marketing, content creation, problem-solving… that's how you crush it." "Put all your eggs in one basket, and watch that basket really, really, really carefully." "Motion is noise; signal is the results. The ultimate measure of working smarter is a low signal-to-noise ratio." "Your greatest successes will come through other people." "Anxiety is the price of ambition… Successful people are worrying, anxious addicts." "Remember: progress equals happiness." Actionable Takeaways 1. Ruthlessly Identify & Double Down on Your 80/20 Map out what drives the majority of your revenues, client results, and business growth. Focus there; cut or minimize the distracting rest. 2. Stop Chasing Every Trend—Master Your One Main Thing Until you have a $5M+ business (or stable, strong revenue), don't split your focus into multiple streams. Place all eggs in one basket, watch it obsessively. 3. Build Relationships for the Long Term Move beyond transactional coaching—clients stay (and refer) when they genuinely like you. Invest in those relationships (even outside the boardroom). 4. Remove "Busywork"—Prioritize Like Jobs/Musk Before acting, ask: will this move me measurably closer to my goal? If not, drop it. Efficient action beats constant activity. 5. Create Momentum by Changing Your Environment Network in higher-end venues, luxury lobbies, or wherever your ideal clients are. Uplevel conversations and connections. 6. Face Anxiety by Doing the Planning and the Work Document best/worst/probable scenarios. The act of planning, not the plan itself, reduces anxiety and increases confidence. 7. Serve and Connect—Fight the Epidemic of Loneliness Facilitate connection and belonging (like Swifties and Taylor Swift); people stay for how you make them feel.

What if the future of geriatric rehab looked less like a traditional clinic—and a lot more like a gym? In this episode, ICEphysio's CEO, Jeff Moore, interviews Older Adult Faculty, Dustin Jones, to talk about Hyphen, a gym-first model that brings skilled rehabilitation, group fitness, and lifelong health under one roof for older adults. Dustin breaks down where the idea for Hyphen came from, how the model allows clinicians to leverage Medicare benefits as an on-ramp to long-term fitness, and what they've learned while launching and scaling the concept. We also dive into why ICE Physio-trained clinicians are uniquely positioned to thrive in this environment—combining skilled rehab with coaching, fitness, and a higher standard for what aging can look like. If you're a clinician who loves working with older adults but wants to think beyond the traditional boundaries of geriatric rehab, this conversation is for you.

Can your job as a plumber, your Monday to Friday at the office, or your Saturday grocery run be an act of worship, or is "Christian living" really just a Sunday thing? In this opening episode of a three-part series, Dr. Marcus Mininger unpacks two impulses every believer feels but rarely reconciles: the belief that Christ changes everything, and the assurance that even if we lose everything, his victory stands unshaken. Drawing on Colossians and a lifetime of watching Reformed Christians debate culture (from social gospel enthusiasm to monastic withdrawal to today's two-kingdoms debates), Mininger makes the case that both impulses are biblical, and that getting the balance wrong has real consequences for how we live.

Water is one of agriculture's most critical inputs, but access to clean, reliable water is becoming increasingly complicated and expensive. Rising treatment and pumping costs, water quality concerns, changing regulations, and growing competition for available supplies are forcing farmers and ranchers to think differently about how water is treated, used, and reused.In this episode of North American Ag Spotlight, Chrissy Wozniak speaks with Kevin Gast, Co-Founder, CEO and Chairman of VVater, about the company's electricity-based approach to water treatment and what it could mean for agriculture.Kevin explains how VVater's Farady Reactor uses low-energy electric fields as part of a treatment system designed to address microorganisms and other contaminants without relying on the filters, membranes and chemical inputs commonly associated with traditional water treatment systems. He discusses where the technology could fit into irrigation, greenhouse production, livestock operations and agricultural water reuse.The conversation also examines the economics. Kevin explains VVater's approach to reducing ongoing treatment costs, recovering and reusing a greater percentage of available water, retrofitting existing infrastructure, and offering a Water-as-a-Service model that can reduce the upfront capital burden for qualifying operations.Chrissy and Kevin also discuss competition for water from data centers and growing communities, why onsite water reuse could become increasingly important, and how alternative water sources could help reduce pressure on aquifers and other freshwater supplies.Looking ahead, Kevin believes agriculture will increasingly need to treat water as a resource that can be cleaned, recovered and reused rather than used once and discharged. For farmers and ranchers, that could turn water treatment from another operating expense into a tool for protecting access to one of the farm's most valuable inputs.Learn more about VVater at VVater.com.Send us Fan MailSchedule a demo today at ecorobotix.com Introducing FarmNewsDaily.com - your source for agriculture news!Subscribe to North American Ag at https://northamericanag.com

What if some of the things we've accepted as normal for childhood aren't actually healthy?Children and teenagers now spend hours each day on devices, carry the internet in their pockets, and increasingly experience friendship, entertainment, and even education through technology. But as Emily Harrison explains, there is an important difference between what is common and what is actually good for children. Emily returns to BaseCamp Live as a wave of lawsuits against major technology and social media companies begins bringing years of internal research and concerns into the courtroom. She and Davies explore what these cases are revealing about addictive design, why simply limiting screen time may not address the deeper problem, and why parents should be cautious about assuming that a product is safe simply because it is widely available. But this conversation isn't ultimately about Silicon Valley or courtrooms. It's about the children in our homes and schools right now.Emily offers practical ways families can introduce technology gradually, create healthy boundaries around phones and social media, and give children increasing freedom without handing them unlimited access. She also shares how schools can rethink responsible technology use and create communities where choosing a different path doesn't have to mean standing alone.The goal isn't to fear technology. It's to recover a vision of childhood shaped by wisdom, relationship, responsibility, and the freedom to grow up without every part of life being mediated through a screen.Special Thanks to our partners who make BaseCamp Live possible:Worldview InstituteWisdom and EloquenceThe Herzog FoundationZipCastLife ArchitectsWisephone by Techless Stay tuned for more enlightening discussions on classical Christian education, and join us next time on BaseCamp Live!

What if the future of assessment is not simply about creating better tests, but about measuring what truly matters? In Episode 92, Todd Zipper speaks with Amit Sevak, CEO of ETS, about the organization's evolution from the Educational Testing Service into a global measurement and talent-solutions organization. Amit explains why ETS acquired ACT, how WorkKeys can strengthen pathways from high school to employment, and why the education-to-workforce pipeline remains far too fragmented.Todd and Amit examine what traditional assessments capture and what they miss. They discuss falling math and reading performance, lessons from the latest international PISA results, and how AI could make communication, collaboration, curiosity, and other historically difficult-to-measure human skills more visible. Amit also makes the case for connecting formative and summative assessment into balanced systems and for using exit measures to hold colleges accountable for learning and employment outcomes.The conversation then turns to AI literacy and workforce adaptability. Amit offers a practical framework for understanding, applying, evaluating, and ethically navigating AI. Drawing on the ETS Human Progress Report, he explains the “adaptability paradox”: workers know they must continually adapt, but many do not know which skills to pursue or how to begin. He asks whether adaptability itself should become the next essential skill that educators and employers define, teach, and measure.

Welcome back to Late Boomers! We're your hosts, Cathy Worthington and Merry Elkins, and today we're bringing you a truly enlightening episode with inventor, engineer, and Eagle Research founder George Wiseman. We'll take a deep dive into the fascinating world of Brown's gas, hydrogen technology, and its revolutionary potential for wellness, aging, and living life to the fullest no matter your stage or age.Are you ready to challenge the idea that aging means inevitable decline? So are we! That's why we're excited about this episode, where innovation meets health and aging is redefined with cutting-edge science and real-life stories.George Wiseman joins us to share his decades-long journey with Brown's gas, a unique hydrogen-based technology originally designed for alternative energy and fuel efficiency but now showing significant promise for home wellness and anti-aging. From growing up off-grid on a remote ranch in British Columbia to becoming a leader in alternative healing technologies, George's story is as bold and inspiring as the science he's championing.Key TakeawaysBrown's gas is more than hydrogen: It includes a special form of electrically expanded water, providing both powerful nutrition and energy to the body (15:50).Hydrogen deficiency may be a root cause of many chronic illnesses and accelerated aging (13:01). Brown's gas inhalation may support regeneration, immune function, pain relief, and more.Safety and proper dosing matter: George cautions against “more is better” thinking, emphasizing that 2% hydrogen is scientifically proven to be the therapeutic optimum (24:12).Tested results: George and many users report reductions in pain, reversal of scars, improved mobility, and enhanced mental acuity. There are even cases of significant healing from serious illnesses when using Brown's gas consistently (26:21, 37:32).George's story is personal: He devoted his life to this technology after the loss of his late wife, striving to help others avoid needless pain and suffering (48:07).Empower yourself: As we age, it's vital to stay curious, seek evidence, and make informed choices about your health; don't just accept the status quo (44:01).If today's conversation sparked your curiosity, don't stop here!Visit George's website at eagle-research.com to learn more about AquaCure and his research.Share this episode with fellow boomers and loved ones who want to rethink what's possible for their health and wellness.Subscribe to the Late Boomers podcast on YouTube and your favorite streaming platform for more interviews with innovators, thinkers, and those living life on their own terms.Remember: It's never too late to rethink what's possible!Thank you for tuning in and staying curious,Cathy & MerryMentioned in this episode:Late Boomers is part of the eWomenPodcastNetwork. eWomenPodcastNetwork

Visit: https://www.10xvets.com/events ____ David Johnston is the founder of Keystone Holdings of Texas, where he's rethinking how multifamily investors evaluate opportunity. After serving in the U.S. Army and graduating from West Point, David built a growing apartment portfolio while earning his MBA at Columbia Business School before joining Nuveen's affordable housing investment team.  As David grew his portfolio, he began questioning the way landlords traditionally evaluate tenants. Rather than relying solely on credit scores and rental history, he developed an approach centered on understanding a person's circumstances, character, and future potential. That philosophy has shaped both his investment strategy and his vision for using data to identify overlooked opportunities within the rental housing market.   In this episode of the SABM podcast, Scott chats with David about: Investing in Future Potential: Why David believes traditional tenant screening overlooks people who simply need an opportunity, and how that philosophy has reshaped his investment strategy. Scaling with an Unconventional Strategy: How David grew from a single fourplex to a 90-unit portfolio by taking a different approach to serving tenants and creating long-term value. Lessons from Institutional Real Estate: David compares building his own portfolio with managing thousands of affordable housing units, and the lessons he's applying from both worlds. The Moneyball Approach to Real Estate: How David is using analytics and AI to measure future potential and rethink the way investors evaluate opportunity. Navigating What's Next: David shares the challenges shaping today's real estate market, along with his vision for scaling Keystone Holdings and his unique investment model.

In this episode of The Association Insights Podcast powered by OnWrd & UpWrd, we continue our special fall series with Highland, exploring how associations can better attract, engage and retain younger professionals.Host Colleen Gallagher and special co-host David Whited, Principal of Research & Strategy at Highland, sit down with Laura Burch, Vice President of Product Evolution, and Kelsey King, Director of Product Development and Management, at the American Academy of Physician Associates (AAPA) to explore how small, intentional experiments can help associations tackle big questions around member engagement, career support and retention.From testing an AI-powered career tool to rethinking how existing resources reach members, Laura and Kelsey share what worked, what didn't—and why an experiment that doesn't produce the expected result can still create tremendous value.Key Highlights:Start Small, Learn More: Why contained pilots and clear success metrics can help associations test new ideas responsibly before committing significant resources.When the Experiment Doesn't “Work”: AAPA's AI-powered career tool didn't significantly impact retention—but revealed important insights about personalization, resource awareness and what members actually need.Don't Create What Already Exists: Members were asking for career support AAPA already offered, reinforcing the need to surface the right resources at the right moments rather than continually creating something new.Think Differently About AI: Why associations may not need their own version of ChatGPT—and how AI could instead work behind the scenes to create more personalized member experiences.Consider the Risk of Doing Nothing: You'll rarely have perfect data before making a decision. Kelsey shares why the potential cost of inaction belongs in the equation, too.

What happens when you love aviation, but it isn't your only passion? Marlis D'Souza built a career as an aerospace engineer and genuinely loved the work. But she was also an artist. In this episode of AVIATE, Shaesta Waiz sits down with Marlis to talk about stepping away from the expected career path, building a life around more than one passion, and discovering that engineering and art weren't as separate as they seemed. Marlis shares the realities of building a creative business, what her engineering background brings to her art, and why four years spent building something of her own shouldn't be viewed as a “career gap.” The conversation also explores a bigger question for aviation: Can we create careers that give talented people room to evolve without asking them to fit into one professional identity? In this episode:• Going against the traditional engineering career path• Building a sustainable life around a passion• How engineering influences Marlis's art• Why unconventional career paths can build valuable skills• Making room for more than one passion• What Marlis is building toward Explore Marlis's artwork:ArtsyByM — artsybym.com About AVIATE with Shaesta:AVIATE features conversations with women shaping what comes next in aviation.

tl;dr What you'll learn:Why transparent delivery promises can influence conversion, trust and loyalty.How delivery choices, pricing, customer value and returns affect profitability.What to consider when deciding whether to build or buy delivery capabilities—and where AI may help.Delivery's often treated as a cost to contain but it also shapes whether customers trust a brand, complete a purchase and come back. In this conversation, James Gurd and Fraser Trivett, CRO at Ingrid, explore how ecommerce businesses can rethink delivery as both a customer experience and a profit-centre opportunity.The key is to make delivery promises clear, accurate and suited to customers' needs. Hidden costs or missed promises can undermine trust, while well-chosen delivery options can help reduce checkout friction and support healthier margins. The discussion covers using customer and product data to make more strategic decisions, weighing build-versus-buy choices and how AI can help businesses act on delivery insights faster.

What does self-worth really look like when we stop trying to be perfectly secure? Dr. Ann Kelley talks with psychologist and bestselling author Dr. Marisa G. Franco about her new book, Worth: The New Science of Self-Esteem and Secure Attachment. Dr. Franco challenges the idea that healing means becoming perfectly “secure,” arguing instead for becoming “secure-ish”—learning to acknowledge insecurity, shame, vulnerability, and other difficult emotions without judging or rejecting those parts of ourselves. She explores the difference between self-esteem and true self-worth, why some people struggle to receive love or positive feedback, and how our deeply held stories about ourselves can shape the relationships and experiences we seek out. The conversation also navigates into the science of memory and memory reconsolidation, including how past experiences can continue to influence our emotions and reactions even when we don't consciously remember them. “Being a steward of self-worth for self and for others is about allowing people to make mistakes and be imperfect.” – Dr. Marisa G.

Back in the early 2000s, Sanem Sergici met some researchers from The Brattle Group at an energy industry conference. She was pursuing a doctorate in applied economics at the time, and decided that a Brattle Group internship would be the perfect way to spend that summer. If one existed... It took some work, but Sanem convinced the firm that it needed an internship program. Twenty years on, that effort paid off. She's now a partner at the firm — and she's one of the power sector's leading experts on rate design and grid economics. This week on With Great Power, Sanem shares what recent Brattle research shows about how utilities can use technology, markets, and smarter rate design to address rising costs without leaving customers behind.Credits: Hosted by Brad Langley.

What if the most valuable part of a feasibility study is the donor conversation your consultant never has? In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Capital Campaign Pro co-founders Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt challenge a longstanding assumption about capital campaign feasibility studies: that an outside consultant should conduct confidential interviews with your largest donors.Traditionally, a consultant meets with prospective donors, gathers their opinions about a proposed campaign, and returns with a report and recommended fundraising goal. Amy and Andrea explain why they began questioning that approach and what happened when they tried a different model. In a guided feasibility study, nonprofit leaders meet with donors themselves after receiving training and support from an experienced campaign advisor. The advisor helps them prepare for the conversations, interpret what they hear, and use the findings to shape a realistic campaign plan.The change raises understandable questions. Will donors speak candidly to an executive director or board leader? Can staff listen without trying to sell the project? Where will nonprofit leaders find time to meet with 30 potential campaign supporters? Amy and Andrea take each concern seriously and share what they have learned from years of guiding organizations through these conversations.They also discuss what a confidential interview can leave out of the process. If a donor raises a concern with a consultant, the organization may receive an anonymous summary without knowing whom to follow up with or how to repair the relationship. When leaders hear feedback directly, they can ask better questions, understand the context, and carry the conversation forward. That firsthand knowledge can help them assess the campaign goal and make more informed decisions before asking for gifts.For Amy and Andrea, these interviews do more than test whether a campaign is feasible. They invite major donors to help shape the plan while giving nonprofit leaders practice in having thoughtful, strategic conversations about money and mission. A leader who has listened to a donor's hopes, questions, and concerns is also better prepared for a future solicitation. The relationship continues from a real conversation instead of beginning again after a consultant hands over a report.Andrea shares what donors told her about their preference for speaking directly with the organizations they support. Amy recounts an executive director's experience of having unusually open conversations with donors after 15 years in the role. Together, they make the case for treating donors as partners in campaign planning and for using the feasibility study to build skills that will serve your team throughout the campaign and beyond.If your organization is considering a capital campaign, choosing a feasibility study model, or wondering how to engage major donors before making an ask, this conversation will help you think through who should be in the room and what your team could learn by being there.Episode chapters:00:00 Why revisit the traditional feasibility study?01:13 How consultant-led interviews became the standard04:35 Will donors speak candidly to nonprofit leaders?09:15 Can staff conduct interviews without bias?10:53 Finding time for conversations with major donors13:15 What changes when leaders conduct the interviews14:34 What donors prefer16:29 Transparency and firsthand feedback19:01 Using early conversations to prepare for the ask21:44 Building lasting major gift fundraising skills23:43 Closing thoughts and next stepsLearn more about guided feasibility studies and capital campaign planning at https://capitalcampaignpro.com/.

Behavioral health needs in schools are growing more complex, yet districts must address them with limited staffing and budgets. On this episode of Elevate Care, host Kerry Perez talks with Veronica Gorgueiro, Behavioral Program Manager at AMN Healthcare, about how schools are innovating to support both students and educators. Drawing on nearly 20 years as a school psychologist, Veronica highlights the connection between behavioral health and academic success while emphasizing why schools are uniquely positioned to help students build resilience beyond the classroom.Veronica shares practical strategies districts are using to stretch their resources, from adapting clinical models like applied behavior analysis to leveraging community partnerships, grants, and tailored staffing solutions. She also highlights the role of virtual therapy in expanding access to care and discusses sustainable approaches like the "train the trainer" model, which builds internal capacity for long-term support. For district leaders, her message is clear: there are effective, tailored solutions available, and seeking help is a proactive step toward strengthening support for students and staff alike.Key Takeaways· Behavioral health and academic success are deeply connected, with progress in one reinforcing the other.· Adapting clinical models like ABA therapy for schools means reshaping them to fit classroom settings rather than replicating one-on-one clinical environments.· Successful districts use community partnerships, grants, and flexible staffing to maximize limited behavioral health resources.· A "train the trainer" model enables behavior specialists to coach teachers and paraprofessionals, fostering long-term internal capacity.· Virtual therapy broadens access to care for students in remote or underserved areas while preserving the importance of in-person support where needed.· Effective behavioral health strategies should be customized to align with each district's unique strengths and challenges.

A school psychologist by training, Veronica spent nearly 20 years working directly in schools across multiple states before moving into virtual therapy in 2017. Her background spans special education evaluations, applied behavior analysis, and telehealth service delivery, giving her a broad view of what districts need to support both students and staff. At AMN Healthcare, she partners with district administrators to close staffing gaps, expand training, and build behavioral health programs that grow with a district's evolving needs.Guest Resources:· Connect with Veronica Gorgueiro on LinkedIn· Learn more about AMN Healthcare's Behavioral Health Services Access the 2026 Healthcare Workforce Outlook SurveyDownload the full report to explore what these findings mean for retention, staffing, care quality, and workforce strategy.Explore Solutions for Smarter Workforce ManagementWe're proudly sponsored by AMN Healthcare, the leader in healthcare staffing and workforce solutions.

Jill is back in the co-host seat this week, and joins Tom for a number of fresh news stories. First up, the Volkswagen ID. Buzz, which skipped the 2026 model year here in the U.S., will also be skipping 2027. The German automaker promises that the retro-themed electric van will be back for 2028. Listen in for details. Jill and Tom note that Tesla is no longer exporting the popular Model Y from the U.S. to Canada, and is instead bringing the small crossover into the country from German, where the EV maker has a large assembly facility. Speaking of Tesla, it has become clear that the maker is building versions of its autonomous Cybercab equipped with steering wheels. The company has not confirmed this, but Car Stuff Podcast listeners report seeing the steering-wheel-equipped vehicles on the road in several cities. Thanks to listener Celio for reporting his Miami sitings to us. Still in the first segment, Jill talks about Korean tire maker Nexen, and the brand's move to gain acceptance in the U.S. market. In the second segment, Jill and Tom welcome Nissan Senior Manager for Vehicle Performance Development, Chris Fischer. Chris shares the surprising backstory of the modern cupholder, specifically those found in the Infiniti QX65 premium midsize crossover. There's much more to this story than you might imagine. In the final segment, Jill is subjected to Tom's "Where is it Built?" quiz, including a bonus question about clown movies. Really. Tom wraps up the show with his quick impressions of the sporty Subaru WRX. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Welcome to Episode 183: Why the Best Yoga Teachers Don't Teach One “Right” Way Yoga teaching is about far more than poses, anatomy, sequencing, or delivering information. Host Sandy Raper explores the teacher's role as a guide who creates the conditions for learning, self-discovery, and transformation while honoring each student's unique path.In this episode:Why yoga teachers should guide students rather than demand conformity to one “correct” way of practicing.How every student brings a different body, nervous system, life experience, and relationship to yoga.The gardening analogy: teachers can prepare the soil, plant seeds, and nurture growth, but they cannot force transformation.Why postures are vehicles for self-inquiry rather than destinations to be mastered.How to evaluate a class by the awareness, curiosity, compassion, and presence students cultivate, not simply by whether they complete a sequence.The importance of invitational language and cueing that directs students toward their internal experience.How yoga teachers can replace professional certainty and judgment with curiosity, humility, generosity, and deep listening.The difference between ethical concerns that require discussion and personal preferences that should not be treated as universal rules.Why teaching from lived experience creates authenticity, trust, and meaningful connection.How a more encouraging and collaborative yoga community can help teachers develop their own voices and serve students more effectively.Timestamps:00:00 - Rethinking the true role of a yoga teacher02:26 - Why yoga is not a one-size-fits-all experience03:58 - The teacher as gardener04:55 - Postures as invitations to self-inquiry06:37 - Measuring teaching success beyond physical performance09:10 - Bringing curiosity and humility into teacher communities11:18 - Distinguishing ethics from personal preference13:03 - Learning from different traditions and teaching styles16:35 - Replacing certainty with generosity and collaboration17:23 - Creating a culture that encourages new teachers18:28 - Cultivating diverse teacher voices19:23 - Moving from perfect classes to meaningful experiences20:50 - Reflection: Are you shaping students or creating space for discovery?www.sandyraper.com⁠⁠200-Hour Hybrid Yoga Teacher Training ⁠⁠Order Sandy's book: Teaching From the Heart: Lessons of Developing Character, Confidence, and Leadership as a Yoga Teacher ⁠⁠⁠⁠Individualized Mentorship Opportunity with Sandy

A K-8 district isn't supposed to have a high school. Bostonia Global built one anyway, and rethought what high school could look like in the process. In this episode, Rebecca Midles talks with Nerel Winter (CEO of Bostonia Global), Johanna Simko (Principal of Bostonia Global High School), and David Rios (a Bostonia Global alumnus) about designing an in-district dependent charter high school from scratch, one built around competency-based learning, a K-12 "world of work" curriculum, and an advisory model where every adult in the building is also a mentor. They talk through what it actually took to hire and train teachers for a school unlike anything else in their district, how they built a transcript that speaks to both universities and employers, and what David's own path, from a bilingual K-5 program to a UC Riverside campus, looks like from the inside.

Building FP&A from scratch isn't primarily a spreadsheet problem. It's a people, process, and alignment problem. Katelyn Stienen, Director of FP&A at Good Day Farms and a top-16 finisher at the Excel World Championship, joins FP&A Today to share what happens when you walk into a five-year-old business with more than 170 legal entities, around 10,000 budget lines, no dedicated planning system, and department heads who have never worked with a structured P&L. After experiencing established finance processes at much older organizations, Katelyn is now building the FP&A function from the ground up. One of her biggest lessons was that introducing FP&A is not as simple as sending out a budget template. Katelyn had to establish what a budget actually means, connect operational budgets with the numbers being communicated to leadership and investors, and create a common financial playbook across the business. She explains why bottom-up planning creates better accountability, why finance should approach variance conversations as investigators rather than enforcers, and how seemingly small misses across individual entities can become material when consolidated. The conversation also explores planning inside the highly regulated cannabis industry, when a growing company is ready for dedicated FP&A software, and how better systems can shift finance away from simply collecting numbers and toward understanding what is driving them. For Katelyn, the real job of FP&A is turning the stories coming from the business into numbers - and being able to explain why reality ultimately differed from the forecast. Key Moments ● Building FP&A from zero starts with financial understanding, not templates. Before introducing a detailed budget, finance needs to understand how department leaders currently think about spending, forecasting, and accountability. ● The business needs one financial playbook. Operational teams cannot manage against one version of the numbers while leadership and investors work from another. FP&A has to connect the two.  ● Bottom-up budgeting creates better conversations. Greater line-item detail gives finance something concrete to challenge, explain, and manage with department leaders rather than simply holding them to a top-down target. ● FP&A should investigate, not assign blame. Katelyn shares her Director of Finance's description of finance as "reporters" trying to understand what happened rather than punish teams for missing a number.  ● Small variances can become significant at scale. An expense miss that looked insignificant at individual stores became a roughly $50,000 variance once Katelyn consolidated it across the organization.  ● Complex businesses require scenario thinking. Different regulations, tax treatments, markets, and operating models across states mean FP&A has to combine financial modeling with knowledge from legal, operational, and commercial teams. ● Technology should move FP&A from gathering numbers to asking better questions. With stronger reporting and consolidation in place, finance can spend less time finding the numbers and more time understanding what is driving them. ● Forecast accuracy is not the whole story. Katelyn would rather miss a forecast and be able to explain exactly why than hit the number without understanding what drove the result.

Caroline Vissers, co-founder of Immunectra and a former UCSF faculty member, who walked away from a lab of her own to build a company. Working alongside scientific co-founders Joe DeRisi and Michael Wilson, Caroline is developing blood-based tests capable of detecting autoimmune disease long before a patient ever shows symptoms.In this episode, Caroline shares why she gave up a faculty position most scientists spend a career chasing, how she prepared for the jump with a venture capital course and consulting work before committing and why the entrepreneurial path was always the real destination. She also breaks down epitranscriptomics in plain terms and explains the unusual path that led from RNA methylation research into autoimmunity.The core of the conversation is early detection. Caroline explains the prodromal phase, why MS patients often wait years for a diagnosis while irreversible neurological damage is already happening and what it means to detect disease up to five years before onset. We get into the uncomfortable reality that healthcare reimbursement is built for reactive medicine rather than prediction, how employer-based insurance may open the door and why she is upfront that policy will have to catch up with the science.We also cover the access to biobanked military samples that made the discovery possible and now serves as a competitive moat, why so many life science investors avoid diagnostics entirely and Caroline's advice for anyone weighing up a leap into founding a company.Timestamps[00:02:00] Why She Gave Up a Faculty Position Most Scientists Chase[00:03:32] Learning to Be a Founder Before Making the Leap[00:05:38] Epitranscriptomics Explained in Plain Terms[00:09:07] The Prodromal Phase and Detecting MS Before Symptoms[00:11:31] Why Reimbursement Is Built for Reactive Medicine[00:13:45] What Most People Do Not Understand About Living With MS[00:15:20] Could This Replace the Spinal Tap and Repeat MRIs?[00:17:39] The Operational Chaos Nobody Warns First-Time Founders About[00:19:48] Why So Many Life Science Investors Will Not Touch Diagnostics[00:22:30] Why Nobody Has Done This Before: Sample Access as a MoatConnect with Sandy - https://www.linkedin.com/in/caroline-vissers-b7431285/Learn more about Immunecetra - ⁠https://qb3.org/invoke-bio-immunectra-win-100k-qb3-mentoring-awards-for-precision-cancer-vaccines-ms-diagnostic/https://qb3.org/im-all-in-immunectras-founder-left-her-faculty-position-to-form-groundbreaking-company/Get in touch with Karandeep Badwal - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/karandeepbadwal/ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Follow Karandeep on YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@KarandeepBadwal⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Medical device training courses delivered by Karandeep through Bywater - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.bywater.co.uk/

Partners, Not Funders: Rethinking How Charitable Dollars Should Work - JeuneElle JeffriesIn this episode of Harnessing Your Wealth, Billy sits down with JeuneElle Jeffries, CEO of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Utah, for a candid look at what actually makes a nonprofit effective — and what doesn't.JeuneElle has run youth-serving organizations since 1993 and was recently named one of Utah's most influential women. She shares why she stopped chasing large one-time donations and instead built partnerships with local employers, why she believes nonprofits should be evaluated the same way you'd evaluate a business, and why being honest with funders about a program that failed actually strengthened trust rather than losing it.You'll hear real talk on:Why partnerships beat one-time fundraising for long-term stabilityWhat to ask before donating to a charity or nonprofitWhy some major university endowments give away only a small fraction of their holdings each yearHow the Boys & Girls Clubs of Northern Utah built a new community campusThe programs teaching kids workforce skills, tech skills, and basic life skills after 2020Whether you're weighing a one-time donation or building charitable giving into a broader financial or estate plan, this conversation offers a rare, honest look from the nonprofit side of the table.Subscribe to Harnessing Your Wealth for more conversations with Billy.Peterson Wealth Services is a registered investment advisor.  Information presented on this program is believed to be factual and up to date, but we do not guarantee its accuracy and it should not be regarded as a complete analysis of the subjects discussed. The guest speaker for this broadcast is not a client of Peterson Wealth and will receive a "thank you" gift for sharing her opinions and experiences.  Discussions and answers to questions do not involve the rendering of a personalized investment advice, but are limited to the dissemination of general information.

Olaf Dreyer, a theoretical physicist who did his PhD with Abhay Ashtekar and now works in finance, joins to explain how he thinks spacetime and matter emerged together. We discuss black hole spectroscopy, the test he and his collaborators proposed and LIGO later ran. Olaf found that 0.04 in a condensed matter textbook, the same value as the tilt of the cosmic microwave background. He argues this means our world began in a phase transition, and he sketches a new way to implement the equivalence principle. The conversation also covers Robert Laughlin's bucket of water, what banking taught Olaf about funding physics, and consciousness.

When we talk about leaving the military, we tend to talk about the checklist.Build a resume. Translate your MOS. Start networking. Apply for jobs. Figure out SkillBridge. Prepare for interviews. And, if you're part of the cleared community, try not to let that security clearance collect dust while you figure out what comes next.Those things matter. But they're also only one piece, because landing a civilian job and successfully transitioning into civilian life are not necessarily the same thing.On a recent episode of the Security Clearance Careers Podcast, I sat down with Emily King Grandinetta, a behavioral scientist, Master Certified Coach, organizational consultant, military transition expert, and author of At Ease: The Guide to a Smooth & Successful Military Transition, to talk about what happens beyond the resume and job offer.

Ever feel like you're having the same conversation about the same hurt over and over again? Yeah, we've been there. And the surprising thing is… that's not necessarily a problem.We just did an episode on conflict and how it can actually deepen intimacy (wild, right?). But during that conversation, something came up that deserves its own deep dive: closure. What even is closure? When does repair actually end? And why do some of us need to revisit the same hurts multiple times while others just want to "move on already"?This is where things get tricky. There's often frustration, blame, even shame around the fact that certain wounds keep resurfacing. One partner might feel superior because they can "just get over things," while the other feels broken for needing more time and repetition. But here's what we've learned through our own relationship and through working with hundreds of people: patterns of harm require patterns of repair. And understanding the difference between a loop and a spiral? That changes everything.In this episode, we talk about:— What repair actually means (spoiler: it's way more than just saying "I'm sorry")— The difference between closure and pretending something never happened— Why closure doesn't mean you forget or stop feeling hurt by what happened— How to tell if you're stuck in a loop versus moving through a spiral of growth— Why defensiveness will slam your spiral right back into a circle every single time— The role of changed behavior, accountability, and taking responsibility in true repair— Why some relationships stay stuck— How forgiveness language can sometimes be used to rush past real repair (and why we're cautious about that word)— The reality that you'll always remember significant harms—and that's actually okay— Why bringing up past hurts isn't manipulation—it's often an invitation to deeper knowing— How resentment forms when we pretend to "just get over" things without actually processing themResources mentioned in this episode:— Our Repair Skills playlist— The Apology and Accountability LadderJOIN The Year Of Opening® community for a full year of learning & supportLearn the 5 secrets to open your relationship the smart wayAre you ready to open your relationship happily?

In Episode 82 of The Landing, recorded in Rogue River, Oregon, Jason sits down with forestry contractor Garrett Dees to introduce Blaze Runner, a new equipment system designed to bring water directly onto the machine and into the fight.Garrett's work in fuels reduction, wildland fire, and small forestry projects showed him a problem: shutdown restrictions, limited access, and the need for additional water trucks or ground personnel can quickly bring production to a stop. His solution was to create a removable, self-contained water system that mounts to an excavator and gives the operator immediate fire-suppression capability.Working with Summit Attachments & Machinery, Garrett turned that idea into a fully functioning prototype. Blaze Runner carries nearly 600 gallons of water, delivers up to 300 PSI, includes foam and drafting capabilities, and can be removed or exchanged in minutes. The modular system can also be mounted to other equipment or staged independently along a fireline.Jason and Garrett discuss the engineering behind the project, real-world testing, equipment versatility, wildfire contracting, reducing downtime, and what Blaze Runner could mean for mastication, fuels reduction, forestry work, and wildland firefighting.This episode is sponsored by Drew's Boots: rebuildable boots made for steep ground, wet brush, shop floors, and long days.
