In this episode of the Gladden Longevity Podcast, Dr. Jeffrey Gladden sits down in person with fitness and nutrition expert Autumn Calabrese to unpack the full truth about GLP-1 agonists. With millions of people jumping on semaglutide, tirzepatide, and soon retatrutide, the conversation most doctors aren't having is about what's actually happening inside the body while the scale goes down. Dr. Gladden breaks down how GLP-1s suppress hunger, slow metabolism, and trigger muscle wasting when used without proper diagnostics or a supporting protocol. He explains the critical differences between GLP-1s, GLP-2s, and GLP-3s, reveals why the ghrelin rebound causes most people to regain everything they lost, and shares the strategies he uses in his practice to help patients lose fat while protecting lean tissue. From the 5-day fasting mimicking diet to natural GLP-1 boosters like metabolic probiotics and calocurb, this episode lays out a smarter, more sustainable path to optimizing body composition. Whether you're considering a GLP-1, already on one, or looking for alternatives, this is the conversation that could change your entire approach.

Thyroid dysfunction, declining sex hormones, and missing micronutrients can all be the real driver. • Sex hormone optimization during perimenopause and andropause is critical for maintaining body composition. • Willpower never wins long term. Systems and environment design are what create durable results.

What happens when an engineer, executive leader, and yoga instructor come together in one person?Transformation.In this powerful episode, Nicole Greer sits down with seasoned operations leader and business coach Luca Romano to explore what it truly means to build a vibrant culture — especially in high-pressure manufacturing environments. After experiencing burnout and a life-changing spinal cord injury, Luca redefined leadership for himself. Blending his engineering mindset with mindfulness and emotional intelligence, he now leads with clarity, courage, and purpose.Vibrant Highlights:00:02:33 — Vibrant culture is positive energy directed toward progress. Energy spent on fear, politics, or self-protection drains results. Culture puts people at the center and aligns behavior around shared values.00:14:00 — Courage is required to move beyond people-pleasing. It is better to fail on your own conviction than succeed while betraying your values. Fear-based leadership wastes energy and undermines performance.00:22:00 — Culture drives measurable business results. After implementing shared core values, structured communication, and EOS, on-time delivery improved from 51% to 91%.00:24:20 — Training is an investment, not a cost. Skipping development to “save time” only postpones problems. Investing in people strengthens retention and long-term performance.00:35:30 — Coaching in and coaching out requires clarity. When behavioral expectations are clearly defined, difficult conversations become structured and productive — sometimes separation becomes a gift.Connect with Luca:Website: manufacturing-coach.comLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/luca-romano-mba-041b531/FB: https://www.facebook.com/luca.romano.505512IG: https://www.instagram.com/floaterone74/#Ready to build a culture where people feel valued, energized, and committed?Bring Nicole Greer, The Vibrant Coach, to your leadership team, organization, or conference to ignite clarity, accountability, energy, and results.Visit: vibrantculture.comEmail: nicole@vibrantculture.comWatch Nicole's TEDx Talk: vibrantculture.com/videos
What's the secret to building a seven-figure business and a life you love?
Send a textJoy isn't a perk. It's a competitive advantage. We sit down with executive and team coach Michelle Chambers to unpack how collective joy fuels psychological safety, deeper alignment, and reliable results—even when teams are under pressure. If “joy at work” sounds woo-woo, Michelle's stories and tools will change your mind fast.We start by spotting the early signs that joy has gone missing: flat energy, thin trust, and conversations that feel purely transactional. From there, Michelle draws a clear line between short-lived happiness and durable, collective joy grounded in purpose, belonging, and contribution. You'll hear how a CFO put joy into a hospital's strategic plan and why that bold move improved resilience and collaboration across departments.Michelle shares practical rituals you can use this week: build a wall of pride to surface progress, end meetings with appreciation circles, and revisit the team's purpose to re-center focus when the stakes rise. A powerful case study tracks a nonprofit team through leadership turnover, audit failures, the pandemic, and even ransomware—then shows how consistent practices rebuilt trust and momentum. For one-on-one coaches and leaders, we connect the dots to systemic impact: model joy visibly, make it measurable, and protect space for it in the cadence of work.If you care about team performance, culture change, leadership development, and psychological safety, this conversation will give you actionable steps and language to make joy part of how you operate.

What You'll Learn in this Post and Podcast Today, let’s talk about social media marketing on LinkedIn. Are you worried that posting on LinkedIn will make you look like an influencer? You're not alone. In this episode, we tackle the concern head-on and explain why consistent visibility isn't about chasing likes; it's about building authority. We explore the difference between recruiters who only appear when they need work (and are categorised as “available”) and those who maintain a consistent presence (and are seen as “busy and successful”). You'll learn why being a trusted advisor who educates and adds value is completely different from performing for an audience and how sharing genuine market insight positions you as the obvious choice when hiring needs arise. With a real client example showing how consistent content led to retained work after 28 years of contingency-only recruiting, this episode makes the case that visibility creates choice, and the answer to noise isn't silence, it's being the signal that cuts through. Today I want to address something that's been circulating on LinkedIn and in conversations with recruiters for several weeks. I recently posted about the importance of consistent visibility on social media, and it sparked a really interesting response. Someone pushed back and said, “I don't want to become an influencer. I think too many recruiters are acting like influencers now, and honestly, isn't all this content just adding to the white noise?” And you know what? They've got a point. Sort of. There IS a lot of noise on LinkedIn. But here's what I want to explore today: the problem isn't posting content. The problem is posting the wrong content for the wrong reasons. So, let's dig into this. What's the difference between being an influencer and being a trusted advisor? And why does consistent visibility matter for your recruitment business? 1. The “Busy and Successful” vs “Available” Perception Let me start with something I see happening frequently. Most recruiters only become visible when they need work. They post jobs when they have open roles. They reach out to clients when their pipeline is empty. They suddenly appear on LinkedIn when things get quiet. And here's what happens: clients unconsciously categorise them as “available” rather than “in demand.” Now contrast that with recruiters who maintain consistent visibility. They share insights regularly. They comment on industry trends. They provide value continuously, not just when they need something. These recruiters get categorised as “busy and successful.” They're seen as the go-to experts in their space. Which category would you rather be in? 2. The Difference Between an Influencer and a Trusted Advisor Now, let's address this influencer concern head-on, because I think this is where the confusion lies. Influencers chase likes and followers. They post content designed to go viral. They're performing for an audience. A trusted advisor? Completely different. A trusted advisor shares insight that helps their audience make better decisions. They're not performing. They're educating and adding value. For recruiters, this means sharing information such as hiring trends in your sector, what candidates are actually looking for right now, salary movements, common mistakes you're seeing hiring managers make, and insights from your actual work in the market. This isn't about being an influencer. It's about positioning yourself as someone worth listening to. Someone who understands the market. Some clients want to work with you before they even pick up the phone. 3. Yes, There's Noise. But Silence Isn't the Answer The commenter was right that there's a lot of white noise on LinkedIn. But here's the thing: the solution isn't to stay quiet while your competitors dominate the conversation. The solution is signal over noise. What we see working for our clients is structured content themes. Things like a weekly market pulse, role spotlights, polls about industry challenges, and posts about common client mistakes to avoid. When you have a structure, it's easier to produce content, and it's easier for your audience to know what to expect from you. Proactive commenting on target clients' posts is another high-impact activity. You don't even need to create content to build visibility. The goal isn't to sell in comments. It's to demonstrate insight and build familiarity over time. And here's something the research backs up: between 61 and 81 per cent of people will visit a website or social profile before they engage with a company. Your clients are checking you out before they respond to your outreach. What do they find when they look? 4. Real Results from Real Recruiters Let me share a quick example from one of our clients, Steve Lea at Coalesce Recruitment. Steve had been in engineering recruitment for 28 years. Always contingency, always competing on price. When he committed to consistent content, something shifted. His LinkedIn connections increased by 35%. He secured 8 new clients in just eight months. He generated £26,000 in net fee income directly from LinkedIn candidate engagement. And here's the big one: he secured his first retained work after 28 years in the industry. What Steve said really stuck with me: “Fee negotiations became almost secondary. The clients had already bought into my expertise through the consistent content. They could see the value I offered before we even discussed terms.” That's not being an influencer. That's building authority. That's becoming the obvious choice in your market. 5. It's About Being There BEFORE They Need You Here's the fundamental shift I want you to think about. The recruiter who posts helpful insights regularly is the first call when a hiring need arises. They're already known. They're already trusted. The conversation starts from a completely different place. The recruiter who only appears to sell? They're competing with everyone else, sending cold outreach. They're starting from zero every single time. Visibility creates choice. When clients and candidates know who you are before you contact them, you stop competing on price. You no longer have to justify your fees. The trust is already there. So let me bring this together. Should you worry about becoming an influencer? No. Because that's not what we're talking about here. We're talking about being visible between placements, so you're top of mind when opportunities arise. We're talking about sharing genuine insight from your market, not posting fluff to chase likes. We're talking about building the kind of presence that has clients coming to you, not you chasing them. Yes, there's noise out there. But the answer isn't silence. The answer is the signal that cuts through. Consistency beats perfection. You don't need to go viral. You need to show up regularly with something useful to say. The recruiters who do this? They get categorised as busy and successful. They get the first call. They win the retained work. They stop competing on price. That's not being an influencer. That's being smart about how you build your business. Thanks for listening. If this episode resonated with you, I'd love to hear your thoughts. Drop us a message, leave a comment, or better yet, share it with a fellow recruiter who might be wrestling with this same question. Until next time.

In this episode of The Fit Physician Podcast, Jake sits down with Dr. Lynn C to share her transformation journey through strength training, empowered eating, and community support. From feeling completely stuck, low on energy, and frustrated by programs that didn't fit her life as a busy physician and mom, Lynn walks listeners through how consistent three-day-per-week workouts, flexible coaching, and gradual mindset shifts helped her build remarkable strength, lose 50 pounds, and regain confidence both inside and outside the gym. She opens up about balancing family life, overcoming negative self-talk, redefining her relationship with food, and the powerful ripple effects her fitness has had on her children, career, and long-term health. This conversation highlights the value of meeting yourself where you are, investing in support that understands the physician lifestyle, and building habits that last for life rather than chasing quick fixes.--

In this conversation, we cover: What agents misunderstand about working in competitive and non-glamour markets What really separates top performers from the rest How Sasa stays disciplined on the days motivation is low The habits and systems he protects as volume increases How his prospecting and follow-up have evolved over time What actually wins listings before sitting at the table How he handles rejection, setbacks, and high-pressure moments The advice he would give agents who feel stuck or are questioning the industry This episode is a must-listen for real estate agents who want real insight into what it actually takes to build sustainable success in this business.

What actually separates a professional guide from a good hunter?Cliff and Jay Scott break down how real experience changes judgment. Calm under pressure, controlling variables, and why most missed shots are process failures. Not shooter failures.The Tricer micro-panning device we discuss at the end of the video, Use CLIFFG for 10% off: https://tricer.com/products/tricer-360From there, the discussion moves into distance, animal awareness, and the concept of the “bubble.” Cliff and Jay explain why getting closer is not always better, especially for wary species like Coues deer. Staying outside an animal's awareness buys time, reduces mistakes, and creates higher-probability shots. This is not about extreme distance. It is about efficiency and control.The back half of the episode shifts into gear and optics. They break down real use cases for image-stabilized binoculars and spotting scopes, where they help, where they don't, and why tripods are not going anywhere. The conversation stays grounded in actual field application, not marketing claims.The episode closes on perspective.

Farm Marketing Mastery is open for enrollment! Sign Up HERE What happens when farmers stop struggling alone and finally get the marketing and mindset tools they need? In this episode of The Profitable Mindset Podcast, host Charlotte Smith steps back and lets her Farm Marketing Mastery clients tell their own stories. These aren't hypotheticals—they're real farmers who were losing money, burning out, and wondering if they'd have to give up farming altogether. You'll hear from Alyssa, who ran her first-ever five-day subscription launch and sold almost double what she'd made in any single month over ten years of farming. From Stacey, who made back twice her program investment in under 30 days and now sells $17-per-pound chicken breast in one of the poorest counties in North Carolina. From Vanessa who went from $25,000 in year one to over $300,000 by year three. But here's what makes these stories different: it's not just about the money. Farmers share how their marriages improved, how they stopped crying over marketing, how they finally believed in themselves enough to raise their prices without flinching. One farmer's husband quit his off-farm job. Another built a farm store. Several went from sold-out waitlists to calm Sunday planning sessions with their spouses. If you've ever wondered whether direct-to-consumer farm marketing actually works—or whether you're just not cut out for the business side of farming—this episode is your proof that it's possible. Farm Marketing Mastery registration is open this week only. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if Farm Marketing Mastery can break you out of marketing misery.

If your results only last a few weeks, it's not because you're inconsistent — it's because your plan was never built to survive real life. The cycle of going all-in, burning out, and starting over isn't a motivation issue. It's a strategy issue. And today we're fixing that.In the final episode of our Real Results Reset Series, I'm breaking down why most resets fail, why intensity and perfection backfire, and what actually creates progress when life is busy, messy, and unpredictable. We'll walk through the three pillars that make results repeatable — not just doable on your best weeks, but sustainable on your worst. Plus, the simple “worst week test” that changes how you approach consistency altogether.You'll walk away feeling clear, grounded, and confident in a plan that doesn't fall apart the moment stress, travel, hormones, or real life shows up. And by the end, I'll ask you one question that could completely change how you build results from here on out.

On this episode of Vitality Radio, Jared launches a new series called Extraordinary Herbs, starting with one of the most widely used—and misunderstood—herbs today: ashwagandha. You'll learn how to use ashwagandha effectively in the real world, why extract type matters, how the most popular forms differ, and what actually determines results for different people. Jared breaks down what modern human research shows, as well as how this herb was traditionally used. Often labeled as the “de-stress herb,” ashwagandha shines as so much more! It supports healthy cortisol signaling, influencing sleep quality, hormone balance, exercise recovery, cognitive function, immune resilience, and thyroid health through the HPA axis. This episode breaks it all down without hype or confusion. Products:Sensoril AshwagandhaVital SleepAnxiety ReleaseMan Up!Man Up!

Imagine having the body you WANT and the energy you NEED – all while eating the food you love! Join The Macro Accelerator today: https://mindin-my-wellness.captivate.fm/macroacceleratorIf you've ever kicked off January feeling fired up and somehow found yourself exhausted and off track by week three, this episode is for you. I'm opening our Real Results Reset series by calling out the three silent mistakes most women make every January that quietly sabotage fat loss before it even has a chance. This isn't about willpower or trying harder. It's about why starting from the wrong place keeps you stuck in the same start-over cycle year after year.In this episode, I break down why motivation alone isn't a strategy, why slashing calories works against your hormones and energy, and why trying to earn results by doing more actually backfires. I break down what really moves the needle for women when it comes to fat loss and body recomposition, and how to build habits that hold up when life gets busy instead of falling apart the moment routine breaks. This is the foundation for everything we're building this month, and it's designed to feel doable, repeatable, and grounded in how your body actually works.By the end, you'll feel relief knowing you don't need a more intense plan or more restrictions to see real results. You'll walk away with a clearer starting point that supports your metabolism instead of fighting it and sets you up for consistency, not burnout.4:09 – How Relying on Motivation Instead of Strategy Sets You Up for Failure5:01 – Why Intense, All-or-Nothing Plans Don't Last6:31 – The Hidden Risks of Focusing Only on Cutting Calories8:12 – Why Prioritizing Protein, Carbs, and Stress Management Supports Fat Loss10:25 – The Secret: Building Metabolic Capacity Beats “Burning More”
Working nights and raising kids doesn't leave a lot of room for macros and meal prep—and that's exactly why this episode matters. We sit down with Kayla M. to unpack how she built sustainable habits while juggling night shift work, family responsibilities, and a life that rarely goes as planned. With guidance from Coach Kara, Kayla swapped the all-or-nothing mindset for a progress-over-perfection approach: flexible nutrition, compassionate self-talk, and showing up—even when it's messy. You'll hear how she navigates sleep-schedule swings, handles family events without derailing goals, uses coaching for accountability, and models healthy behaviors for her kids. If you're a working mom, shift worker, or anyone stuck waiting for "perfect conditions," Kayla's story is your proof that small steps stack into big change.

Send us a textThis episode is a masterclass in doing the work even when you feel like absolute garbage. Kathy Charles didn't come into my program feeling motivated, hopeful, or even remotely excited about fitness. She came in depressed, deep in menopause, dealing with grief, vertigo, an injured knee, and the kind of emotional exhaustion that makes brushing your hair feel optional.And yet… she showed up.Kathy didn't wake up one day magically inspired. She started when she was grumpy, resistant, and fully prepared to hate me during workouts. She modified everything. She half-assed it when that was all she had. She swore at the screen. And she kept going anyway.In this conversation, Kathy shares how therapy helped clear what she calls the “traffic jam” in her brain so she could start taking care of herself again, why mental health support wasn't optional for her progress, and how structure, not motivation, helped her rebuild trust with herself.She lost 50 pounds and 44 inches, yes. But more importantly, she got her energy, confidence, and sense of badassness back. She zip-lines. She shovels snow. She plans bike trips. She lives in a body she trusts again.This episode is proof that you don't need to feel good to start. You just need to start.What's Inside:You don't need motivation. You need momentum. Kathy started when she felt awful and let consistency do the heavy lifting.Mental health and physical health are not separate. Therapy cleared the path so habits could stick.Modifying is not failing. It is how progress actually happens, especially when your body has limits.Habits don't disappear when life gets hard. They are what carry you through it.Kathy's story is such a powerful reminder that progress doesn't come from perfection. It comes from showing up as you are, even when you're cranky, tired, grieving, or over it. You don't need to do it all. You just need to keep doing something.If this episode hit home for you, DM me on Instagram and tell me what your version of a “grumpy workout” looks like right now. I want to hear it.Mentioned in This Episode:Join the 28 Day Transformation WaitlistOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

Most shop owners do not fail at marketing because they lack effort. They fail because their efforts have no clear purpose behind them. According to Carrie-Lynn Rodenberg, CEO and founder of Turnkey Marketing, effective marketing is not about doing more. It is about doing the right things with intent, strategy, and a measurable goal.In this episode of Maximum Octane, Kim Hickey and Jason Patel sit down with Carrie-Lynn to break down how shop owners can move away from reactive marketing and build campaigns that are aligned with who they are, where they operate, and what they want to achieve. Carrie-Lynn explains why shops waste money on random tactics, why “just doing what your buddy does” never works, and how to define what you want before you spend a dollar.She also shares how Turnkey acts as a true director of marketing for shops, coordinating vendors, reviewing results, listening to calls, and helping owners stay focused on their strengths while the strategy gets handled. The conversation goes into real human psychology, why customers choose one shop over another, and how to attract the right people by understanding what they actually respond to.Tune in to episode 134 of Maximum Octane if you want to learn how to do marketing that brings in cars, builds trust, and supports the life you want outside the shop.Episode Takeaways:4:10 Why most marketing fails when it starts without a clear goal7:20 How Turnkey acts as a true director of marketing for shop owners9:45 Why location, personality, and community involvement change your strategy12:10 How to turn a difficult location into a destination14:40 How human psychology shapes every marketing decision17:00 Why cost, convenience, and clarity matter more than shop owners think20:30 Why discounts only work when they are intentional and trackable22:10 How high-end brands use specials without becoming discount shops25:40 Why marketing only works if your shop has the processes to back it up28:50 The real purpose of an irresistible offer and how to use it responsibly33:10 Why shops with strong systems should not fear a low-cost oil change34:25 How to bring in the right customers instead of more random customersConnect with Carrie-Lynn:LinkedInTurnkey MarketingFollow Turnkey Marketing on InstagramConnect with Turnkey Marketing on FacebookTurnkey Marketing on XLet's connect:WebsiteLinkedInFacebookEmail: info@maximumoctane.com Hosted on Acast.

I discuss: • What alcohol really is—and why the “buzz” is actually your brain slowing down• How alcohol affects neurotransmitters like GABA, dopamine, and glutamate• Why even moderate drinking disrupts sleep, mood, hormones, and metabolism• How alcohol impacts the liver, gut microbiome, immune system, and cancer risk• Why hangovers feel like the flu—and what's actually happening in your body• What happens when you stop drinking, week by week, from detox to deep repair• The surprising benefits to energy, focus, skin, sleep, and emotional resilience• Practical tools to manage cravings, social pressure, and sleep disruption• Why community support makes behavior change easier and more sustainable Your body has an incredible ability to heal and often, it just needs you to take your foot off the gas.
