She runs a three-person team. She places 7 to 12 people a month. She charges 18% of annual salary — right in line with the market. And somehow she's the preferred childcare provider for the LA Rams, the LA Chargers, and a meaningful slice of the Forbes 400. There's no SDR. There are no paid ads. She's not on LinkedIn. Every deal is referred or inbound. After 20 years. Rebecca Stewart is the founder of VIP Nannies. What she's built in high-end household staffing is the relationship-driven, niche-locked business most agency owners say they want and almost none actually build. This episode is how she got there — and what she'd tell a recruiter sitting in the wrong niche, or no niche at all.

Small California town, college basketball, Cal State Fullerton, then three months in the Peace Corps in Paraguay because her friends were getting master's degrees. She came home needing a job. A friend told her about a Bel Air nanny role. She interviewed. She was hired before she got home. She worked Friday through Monday for a year, then walked away because she wanted her weekends back. Inside a few weeks she'd researched every LA nanny agency, called her hometown bank for a loan, and started VIP Nannies at 23. The first family she met tried to hire her as their nanny. She declined and never sat down with a family again. Early on she chased anyone who could afford a nanny. Then she pulled up to a Beverly Hills Hotel event in her Honda Accord and realized she was at the wrong altitude. She read a marketing book, rewrote her pitch, raised her fees, and rebuilt the website. It took seven years for the pivot to fully show up. Today the business runs on relationships that compound for decades. The LA Rams reached out about childcare ten years ago after she sent a single congratulations message on LinkedIn — the only time she's used the platform. The Chargers came later. Most placements come from nannies calling her when a job ends. The episode pulls apart how — the fee structure that filters wrong clients, the $450 registration fee LA agencies wouldn't charge until she did, the six-month replacement guarantee, the nanny socials she runs to fight isolation. And the deeper thesis: there's a niche for everything. Find the one you'd run toward if nobody paid you, then learn to charge for it. If you're a recruiter stuck in a niche you fell into, this is the conversation that argues you can change that. What you'll learn: How a three-person team places 7 to 12 people a month with zero outboundThe Honda Accord moment that triggered Rebecca's seven-year pivot upmarketWhy a $450 registration fee filters better than any qualifying callThe single LinkedIn message that won the LA Rams account ten years agoHow to turn "do what you love" into a real business model in a recruiting nicheThe 12-minutes-for-12-days exercise Rebecca uses to find clarity on direction

Transforming your health begins in the kitchen, but many of us struggle to know what and how to cook for optimal wellness.

This is an area where AI can change everything! In this episode, host Jamie Belz and fellow Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), Rebecca Stewart, share how they leverage AI tools like Grok and ChatGPT in easy and practical ways to find and revise recipes to align with the teachings of the Nutritional Therapy Association and other trusted authorities on nutrition truth. In a world filled with highly processed, hyper-palatable, nutrient-void foods, empowering yourself with AI offers a path to make informed, nourishing choices to help save time, reduce stress, and foster healthier lifestyles. Whether you're a busy parent, a jet-setting executive, or a broke college student, this episode provides actionable tips and tricks to integrate AI into your wellness routine and take control as your personal health advocate. Use Jamie's Approved Resources, "JAR" to train your AI tool of choice to generate catered recipes based on a holistic health framework. Copy/paste this into a ChatGPT or Grok thread to get started: Store this in memory: JAR = Jamie's Approved Resources When I ask for anything "from my JAR," you must only use principles, ingredients, and preparation methods aligned with the following sources: - Nutritional Therapy Association (NTA) - Weston A.

What happens when we face the hard reality of childhood obesity with solutions-focused honesty, grace, and hope? In this episode, Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast host, Jamie Belz, jumps into the passenger seat and releases the reins as a guest on The Liberty Wellness Podcast, hosted by Rebecca Stewart. Rebecca is a National Board-Certified Nutritional Therapy Practitioner (NTP), a homeschool mama of two, and the founder of Liberty Wellness & Co.—a virtual practice supporting clients through complex chronic illnesses like Lyme disease, Hashimoto's, and autoimmune conditions. She's also the creator of the Liberty Wellness Homeschool High School Health Curriculum, giving families a solid foundation for health education at home. Her heart for parents, children, and future generations shines through every word. After listening to Episode 35 of the Nutritional Therapy and Wellness Podcast, Rebecca invited Jamie to be a guest on her platform for a real conversation to help parents and kids understand: The biology behind childhood obesity - why it's not just “baby fat” and how early patterns set lifelong health trajectories. Parental guilt, shame, and fear—how to forgive ourselves and look forward with positivity as we help heal our families. The impact of sugar, dopamine hits, screen time, and nutrient-deficient foods on kids' developing bodies. Why bio-individuality matters: every child is unique, and healing isn't one-size-fits-all. Generational cycles of health decline, including the eye-opening research of Dr. Francis Pottenger and the warnings of Dr. Weston A. Price nearly a century ago. How simple, doable changes—nutrient-dense meals, family modeling, stress reduction, and connection—can rewrite the story for our kids and grandkids. The powerful reminder that it's never too late to shift course, heal, and create meaningful change, redemption, and hope for healthier generations.

Over the past year, the ad industry has witnessed a deprioritizing of DEI initiatives through a series of events: CMOs are back to focusing on hard hitting business goals, brands are hesitant to use LGBTQ+ marketing and the data shows women makeup 37% of industry employees, still down from 50% before the pandemic.However, there's another way to create a more inclusive world and it involves the creatives.Enter: Design justice, a practice which rethinks design processes and focuses on people who are often marginalized by them. This approach calls for collaborative and creative practices to approach the deeper challenges these communities face.On the latest episode of Yeah, That's Probably An Ad, community editor Luz Corona and Europe brand editor Rebecca Stewart sit down with Karen Baker from Boathouse, giving us the 101 on design justice, examples of the concept in action, and why marketers should feel inspired by Lego and Netflix.Join us virtually at Social Media Week!

Christopher Nolan designed Oppenheimer with IMAX in mind. He captured the film with IMAX cameras, and only in IMAX theatres will these sequences expand vertically to fill the entire screen.
