We're only a quarter of the way through 2023, and already we've seen a number of unexpected images go viral. Examples include Pope Francis wearing a white Balenciaga puffer jacket, Donald Trump being arrested at the foot of the Trump Tower in New York, and Barack Obama and Angela Merkel sharing an ice cream on the beach.  So what do these viral images all have in common? Well of course they weren't real! They were all generated by AI apps, which as you may know are now able to create images based on text prompts in a matter of seconds. So how can I tell fake from real then? What about clues in the images themselves? What about clues in the images themselves? In under 3 minutes, we answer your questions!

Why do so many businesses hit a ceiling at around 10 employees? Many founders start their business because they're brilliant at what they do. In the early days, decisions are fast, communication is simple, and the founder sits at the centre of everything. Then the business grows. Suddenly, what made the business successful starts to become the thing holding it back. In this episode of ScaleUp Radio, Kevin Brent speaks with Tameron Chappell, founder of  Athinka, a business psychology consultancy that helps organisations build healthier, higher-performing teams using evidence-based psychology rather than management fads and airport business books. Tameron explains why the transition beyond 10 employees is one of the most challenging moments in a founder's journey, how personality dynamics influence team performance far more than technical capability, and why shared leadership is critical for sustainable growth. About Tameron Chappell Tameron is the founder of  Athinka, a consultancy specialising in business psychology and team effectiveness. Working primarily with startups and scale-ups, Tameron combines psychodynamic and systemic approaches to help founders and leadership teams understand the hidden patterns, behaviours and relationships that influence performance. His work often begins when traditional consulting approaches have failed to deliver lasting results, helping organisations uncover the deeper causes of team dysfunction and leadership challenges. In this episode: Why businesses often stall at 10 employees Many founders unknowingly create a business model that relies entirely on them. As the team grows, this becomes unsustainable. The founder becomes the bottleneck for decisions, problem-solving and accountability. Tameron explains why the 10-person mark is a critical inflection point and why leaders must begin building shared ownership and leadership much earlier than they think. The uncomfortable reality of scaling leadership One of the biggest mindset shifts for founders is recognising that they may not always be the best person for their current role. Growth requires leaders to continually evolve and sometimes redefine their responsibilities. Tameron discusses why succession planning, delegation and leadership development should be part of the scaling conversation from day one. Why personality matters more than technical skills Recruitment often focuses heavily on experience, qualifications and technical competence. However, Tameron argues that personality fit, behavioural tendencies and stress responses are often far better predictors of long-term success. Past performance in one environment does not guarantee success in another. Understanding how individuals naturally operate under pressure can significantly improve hiring decisions and team performance. Understanding the psychology behind team dynamics Rather than viewing personality through simplistic labels and categories, Tameron describes personality as a complex mixing deck of traits that interact differently depending on circumstances. Helping team members understand their own preferences and those of colleagues can reduce conflict, improve communication and increase trust. Evidence-based business psychology Athinka's approach is grounded in established psychological theory and research. The consultancy combines: • Psychodynamic approaches to explore the relationship between an individual's inner world and workplace behaviour. • Systemic approaches to uncover hidden organisational patterns and group dynamics. The result is practical insight that helps teams function more effectively and leaders make better decisions. Standout Quote "Most businesses don't stop growing because of strategy. They stop growing because the founder's control model no longer works." Key Takeaways • The 10-employee mark is often the first major scaling challenge. • Founders must evolve their leadership style as the business grows. • Shared leadership creates stronger, more resilient organisations. • Personality and behavioural fit matter more than technical skills alone. • Team effectiveness improves when people understand how others naturally operate. Resources mentioned in the episode: Internal Family Systems - https://ifs-institute.com/ Lumina Splash App - https://luminalearning.com/our-products/lumina-splash-app Co-Pilot - Claude -   From Tameron: If you're a founder and you're curious about the psychology underneath your business — the patterns, the dynamics, the parts of you that show up under pressure — here are some resources I often recommend: Edgar Schein's work on Humble Leadership for the fundamental shift from 'expert' to open-minded curiosity which is the foundation of all relational leadership. Mike Hohnen's practical interpretation of Dave Snowden's Cynefin model, especially for founders navigating complexity, pace and ambiguity. Mike makes complexity human and usable. Richard Schwartz's Internal Family Systems (IFS) for understanding your inner architecture, your triggers, and how to lead yourself with more clarity and compassion. His book No Bad Parts is a great entry point. Systemic thinking for teams and organisations = anything that helps you uncover the hidden patterns around you. John Whittington's blogs (start with his views on Founders and their Origin Story https://www.linkedin.com/posts/johntkwhittington_systemiccoaching-founders-theoriginstory-activity-7452030365994569728-s7wJ?utm_source=share&utm_medium=member_desktop&rcm=ACoAAAC1NiYBYHjcV1QthjsMa96N6IIja61N-Mo ), Jan Jacob Stam's Systemic Leadership, and Tess Cope's Harness and Your Team Is Not The Issue are excellent. Trait‑based personality models such as Lumina Spark, Hogan, or NEO Primary Colours. These help you understand behaviour under pressure and in context. (N.B. Not Type tools like MBTI, DISC, Insights or Strengths, they're fun and ubiquitous, but they don't stand up to psychological scrutiny. If you want something highly practical, David Marquet's intent‑based leadership work (Turn the Ship Around, Leadership is Language) and his short Leadership Nudges videos on YouTube are brilliant for everyday behavioural shifts. And of course… if you've got humans in your business and don't fancy reading all these theories and ideas come and find me - I'm always curious about your world, your successes and challenges.

Yoga is an inquiry into the nature of the mind, body, and consciousness. It provides a ritual that fosters belonging, meaning, and purpose, creating a sense of community and support. Through asana, yoga helps focus the mind on the breath, entering a state of stillness and awareness. A balanced practice is grounded in ethics and personal discipline, guided by the 8 Limbs of Yoga, particularly the Yamas (ethical guidelines) and Niyamas (observances). Key principles include non-violence (Ahimsa), truthfulness (Satya), and self-study (Svadhyaya).Asana practice emphasises steadiness (Sthira) and ease (Sukham), with focus on breath, sensation, and internal light (prana). This leads to overcoming duality and attaining a state of yoga. Obstacles such as dullness and self-doubt arise, but cultivating awareness, friendliness, joy, and compassion can help overcome them. Using tools like R.A.I.N. (Recognise, Allow, Investigate, Nurture), we learn to self-regulate and move toward lasting fulfilment and freedom from suffering.To read more and to practice with Zephyr Wildman, click here.

Key Takeaways From This Post In this episode of The Recruitment Marketing and Sales Podcast, Sharon Newey explores why imposter syndrome disproportionately affects the most capable recruitment business owners, what it actually costs commercially, and three practical actions you can take this week to start showing up with the authority you have already earned. You are on a call with a client you have worked with for a while. Good relationship. The conversation is going well. And then, almost as an aside, they say: “We had a really useful piece come through this week from another agency. A benchmarking report on salaries in our sector. Really timely.” They are not threatening to leave. They are not complaining. It is a throwaway comment. But something shifts. Because you know that topic. You have lived it. You have had the exact same conversation about salary expectations with four clients this month. You know what is happening in that market, why it is happening, and what businesses should be doing about it. You could have written that report. You should have written that report. But you did not. And someone else did. And now your client is talking about them on a call with you. That feeling is not a content problem. It is not a time problem. It is imposter syndrome. And it is costing your business more than you realise. The Statistic That Changes how you see This Research suggests that up to 85% of high-achieving professionals experience imposter syndrome at some point in their careers. Eighty-five per cent. That is not a niche phenomenon. That is not something that happens to people who lack confidence or ability. That is a pattern that affects the majority of people who are genuinely very good at what they do. Imposter syndrome is not evidence that you are not ready. It is frequently a signal that you are more capable than you give yourself credit for. The doubt is not a warning sign. It is a side effect of expertise. What Imposter Syndrome Actually Looks Like in Recruitment In a recruitment business, imposter syndrome rarely announces itself as imposter syndrome. It disguises itself as something far more practical. It looks like waiting until the website is ready. You know the marketing needs to happen. But the website is not quite right, so you will start once that is sorted. The website gets sorted. Then it is something else. It looks like not posting because it is not good enough. You draft something, read it back, and think: this is obvious. Everyone in my sector already knows this. So you delete it, and nothing goes out. It looks like avoiding video, permanently. You know video works. You have seen the data. But something about pressing record feels impossible, so the video conversation gets shelved for another quarter. It looks like undercharging and struggling to defend your fees. When you do not fully believe in your own authority, you drop your rate before the client has even pushed back. You discount as a reflex, not as a strategy. And it looks like watching competitors win work you know you could do better. They are not better than you. They are simply louder. They are showing up. They are saying the things you are thinking. Recognise any of that? Most recruitment directors and founders will recognise at least three of those patterns immediately. And they will have filed them under time, or priorities, or just not my thing. But that is not really what they are. Why High-Achievers are Most at Risk The people most susceptible to imposter syndrome are not the least competent. It is the opposite. The more expert you become, the more likely you are to experience it. And there is a name for this: the paradox of competence. When you are a junior recruiter, you know what you do not know. The gaps are visible and that feels appropriate. But as you become genuinely expert, your awareness of the field’s complexity increases at the same rate as your knowledge. You can see further. Which means you can also see further ahead of where you currently are. You know more, and so you are more aware of the things you do not yet know. And that awareness can feel, incorrectly, like inadequacy. There is a specific version of this that we see consistently. Many of our clients built their career inside a corporate agency. They were brilliant at what they did, and the brand gave them a platform. Candidates and clients trusted them, but some of that trust was borrowed from the institution. And then they went out on their own. Courageous, commercially smart. But it came with a hidden tax. Because now the brand is them. The credibility is theirs to build, not to borrow. And a voice surfaces that says: was it ever really me? The answer is yes. Thirty years of sector expertise does not evaporate when you hand back a corporate email address. But the voice does not always believe that, and the voice is loud. The Commercial Cost you are not Counting Imposter syndrome is not just an internal discomfort. It has a real, measurable commercial cost. And most recruitment business owners have not fully calculated it. The first cost is visibility. When you are not showing up consistently, not posting, not putting your expertise into the public domain, you are invisible to people who are actively looking for someone exactly like you. Your ideal client is on LinkedIn right now, forming opinions about who they trust. If you are not there, you are not in the conversation. Visible competitors win the work you should be winning. Not because they are better. Because they are present, and you are not. The second cost is fee pressure. Authority and pricing power are directly linked. When a client already knows who you are, has read your posts, has seen that you understand their market in a way that other recruiters do not, the fee conversation starts from a completely different position. They have already bought your expertise before you pick up the phone. When you are invisible, you are just another recruiter. And just another recruiter competes on price. We saw this play out clearly with a client who had close to thirty years in her sector. Before she started showing up consistently, she was competing on contingency terms like everyone else. Within months of building a visible presence, she was having completely different conversations. Fee negotiations became almost secondary, because clients had already bought into her expertise before terms were discussed. She went on to secure her first ever retained projects after decades of contingency work. The third cost is referrals. Referrals are generated not just by the quality of your work but by how front of mind you are. If your network has not heard from you in six months, they will refer someone else. Not because your work was not good. Because the other person was more visible at the moment the referral conversation happened. Three Things You Can do This Week These are low-risk, practical actions that genuinely move the needle. Post one piece of content about what you know, not who you are. The best content from a recruitment leader is about the market. What are you seeing in your sector right now? What are clients getting wrong? What do candidates need to understand about the current hiring picture? That is expertise sharing, not self-promotion. Start there. One post. This week. Share a client or candidate outcome. Not a polished case study. Just a moment. “We helped a client hire a head of finance last month, and here is what made the difference in the search.” Two paragraphs. It demonstrates your expertise and is built entirely from something that already happened. You are not inventing content. You are making your existing work visible. Say the thing you think is too obvious to say. Your market hears these things all the time and still makes the same mistakes. Obvious to you is not obvious to them. The insight that feels like basic knowledge inside your industry is exactly what your ideal client is waiting to read. Say it. None of these require a content strategy, a copywriter, or a professional photoshoot. They require you to decide that your knowledge is worth sharing. That is the only prerequisite. Something to Sit With Before you move on, one question worth sitting with honestly. What is the one thing you know you should be saying publicly that you have been holding back? And what is the real reason? Not the practical reason. Not the time, or the website, or the platform. The real reason. In thirty years of coaching, I have rarely met a business owner who lacked something worth saying. What I have met, time and again, are people who had everything they needed and were waiting for permission that was never going to come from anywhere external. You already have the expertise. You have earned it. The only question is whether you are going to let it stay invisible. Thanks, Sharon How We Can Help Working on your marketing consistently is one of the most important things you can do for the long-term health of your recruitment business. Visibility builds authority. Authority builds better fee conversations. And better fee conversations build the kind of business you actually want to run.

Whittling your diet down to five "safe" foods isn't healing your gut — it's masking a deeper imbalance that declining estrogen may be driving. Nutrition expert Cynthia Thurlow joins Angela Foster to unpack why so many women suddenly can't tolerate foods they once ate freely, and what's really happening behind the bloating, palpitations and brain fog. The conversation explores the link between estrogen loss and a leaky small intestine, the histamine-hormone "perfect storm" that can trigger hives and cramping, and why bloating during perimenopause is so often multifactorial. Cynthia also explains when bloating becomes a red flag worth investigating. You'll learn how to identify your personal food triggers without cutting entire food groups, why eating in a parasympathetic state matters, and which gut supports — from fibre and hydration to TUDCA — can help as progesterone and estrogen decline. If you've ever felt like your body suddenly turned against your favourite foods, this episode will help you understand why. KEY TAKEAWAYS Stop eliminating food groups as your default fix. Whittling your diet down to a handful of "safe" foods signals an underlying gut imbalance that needs support — not an ever-expanding exclusion list. Recognise food sensitivities as a likely leaky gut symptom. As estrogen declines it acts like failing "mortar" in the small intestinal lining, letting food particles leak into the bloodstream and provoke an immune response. Watch the histamine-estrogen "perfect storm." During high-estrogen days, loading up on high-histamine foods (leftovers, kombucha, fermented items) can trigger hives, congestion, cramping and diarrhoea — so keep histamine foods low or infrequent during those windows. Eat in a parasympathetic state. Sit at a table, remove distractions, and take four to five deep breaths before meals rather than eating standing, in the car, or on the move. Always get persistent bloating evaluated. Bloating from morning to night is different from bloating that appears after meals, and persistent symptoms should be checked because, in rare cases, they can signal something serious like ovarian cancer. QUOTES "The goal is to never get to a point where you're excluding entire classes of foods." "If we look at the small intestinal lining as like a brick and mortar system, the mortar is the estrogen." "I literally was talking to a podcast host and I broke out in hives head to toe because I was high estrogen, high histamine stress. And it was like the perfect storm." "It's not really that you need to cut out all these food groups. We just have a nuanced conversation. Don't go overboard with any one food." "I've just seen too many people blow off symptoms for a year or two that end up being bigger issues than they would have been had they been addressed up front."

Imposter syndrome does not disappear just because someone becomes a business owner, Ph.D., author, trainer, executive, or recognised expert. The voice in the head still asks, "Who do you think you are?" The answer is not perfection. The answer is humility, preparation, integrity, and the courage to share what we do know. Why do presenters feel imposter syndrome? Presenters feel imposter syndrome because public speaking exposes them to judgement, comparison, and the fear of being found short. The more visible the platform, the louder the inner critic can become. Some people grow up with confidence-building advantages: elite schools, international travel, family connections, debate practice, and early exposure to public speaking. Good for them. For many others in Japan, Australia, the US, Europe, and Asia-Pacific, the path is more ordinary or rocky. They build careers through effort, discipline, and persistence. Then one day the company asks them to present to the team, speak at an industry event, join a webinar, or represent the firm publicly. Suddenly the mind asks, "Am I really qualified?" Do now: Recognise imposter syndrome as a normal reaction to visibility, not proof that you should stay silent. Can successful leaders still suffer from imposter syndrome? Yes, successful leaders can suffer from imposter syndrome even after gaining degrees, titles, ownership, awards, and expertise. Achievement does not automatically erase old self-doubt. A person can own a company, hold a doctorate, publish books, lead teams, and speak frequently, yet still feel like the kid from the old neighbourhood. Identity has long roots. In executive communication, leadership training, sales presentations, and keynote speaking, external credentials help, but internal confidence may lag behind. This is especially common when leaders move across cultures, industries, or languages. A foreign executive in Japan, a founder pitching investors, or a manager addressing a multinational team may all wonder whether they truly belong at the front of the room. Do now: Stop assuming confidence comes automatically with credentials. Build it through repeated, honest practice. How does perfectionism make presenting harder? Perfectionism makes presenting harder because it convinces speakers they need complete knowledge before they have the right to speak. That standard is impossible and paralysing. No presenter has absolute knowledge. Not the CEO, not the professor, not the consultant, not the trainer, not the bestselling author. The healthier mindset is relativity: you may know more than many people in the room about a particular topic, while still being a student of the craft. That is enough. In business presentations, the goal is not to claim omniscience. The goal is to offer useful experience, examples, frameworks, and judgement. The old line about the one-eyed person being king in the kingdom of the blind captures the point, even if it stings a little. Do now: Replace "I must know everything" with "I can share what I know while continuing to learn." What should presenters do when an expert is in the audience? Presenters should welcome experts in the audience and invite their contribution where appropriate. Their presence does not diminish the speaker; it can enrich the session. When a bona fide expert appears in the room, the imposter voice may panic. Don't. Acknowledge their expertise, ask for their view on a specific point, and let the audience benefit. This is not surrender. It is confidence. Audiences in boardrooms, conferences, universities, and professional associations appreciate a speaker who can create dialogue rather than pretend to dominate every subject. The expert is unlikely to leap up and denounce you as a fraud. More often, they add colour, nuance, or a useful example. Do now: Treat expertise in the room as an asset. Share the stage intellectually without giving away your authority. How should speakers handle criticism or hostile questions? Speakers should never argue with the audience; they should acknowledge different views, stay calm, and let the wider audience judge. Fighting from the stage usually weakens the speaker. In karate, taisabaki means moving to the side so the attacker strikes empty air. Presenters can use the same idea. Do not stand rigidly in front of criticism, trying to prove perfect knowledge. Move aside by saying, "That is a useful perspective," or "There are different views on this." If someone cherry-picks your words, removes context, or misrepresents your point, stay composed. Public opposition can create mental fog, especially in live forums e, webinars, panels, or Q&A sessions. The perfect answer may arrive an hour too late. That is still learning. Do now: Prepare calm response phrases before the event. Do not let one hostile question drag you into a public wrestling match. How can presenters build trust despite self-doubt? Presenters build trust by admitting limits, showing integrity, and offering genuine value without pretending to be perfect. Humility makes the speaker harder to attack. When speakers openly accept that they are still learning, there is no hard target. The audience already knows nobody has perfect knowledge. What they want is sincerity, preparation, and something useful. This matters in Japan's consensus-driven business culture, in US-style debate environments, and in European or Asia-Pacific professional settings. The speaker who allows diverse views, avoids defensiveness, and keeps the brand intact looks more trustworthy, not less. Nervous? Keep it to yourself. Most audiences want the presenter to succeed and will not notice the nerves nearly as much as the speaker imagines. Do now: Be honest about limitations, generous with other viewpoints, and disciplined about not broadcasting your nerves. Conclusion: How can leaders overcome imposter syndrome when presenting? Imposter syndrome loses power when we stop pretending we need to be flawless. The real standard is not perfection. The real standard is integrity. Do we know something useful? Have we prepared? Can we help the audience think, act, or improve? Can we stay humble when challenged? If the answer is yes, then we have the right to speak. We can stand up, share what we know, invite other views, and keep learning. The doubts may still mutter in the background, but they do not get to run the meeting, the presentation, the webinar, or the keynote. FAQs Is imposter syndrome common in public speaking? Yes, imposter syndrome is common because presenting makes people visible and open to judgement. Even experienced leaders can feel exposed when they speak publicly. Do I need to be a complete expert before presenting? No, you do not need perfect knowledge before presenting. You need useful experience, preparation, integrity, and the humility to keep learning. What should I do if an audience member knows more than me? Acknowledge their expertise and invite their input where useful. This shows confidence and gives the audience more value. How should I respond to hostile questions? Stay calm, avoid arguing, and acknowledge that different views may exist. Let the audience judge the exchange rather than turning it into a fight. Should I tell the audience I am nervous? Usually, no. Keep your nerves to yourself because most audiences want you to succeed and may not notice. Focus on helping them rather than announcing your anxiety.

Fusion: How To Receive The Breath of God | Pastor Shola OkodughaOpening from Isaiah 60:22, Pastor Shola Okodugha introduces the theme of Fusion, the process of combining distinct elements into a single un ified whole. Like different notes coming together to produce one distinct sound, or atomic nuclei colliding to release enormous energy, fusion speaks of what happens when God brings things together for His purpose.Drawing from Ezekiel 37:1–14, one prayer we must continually pray is for knowledge and revelation "that we may know," that the eyes of our understanding would be enlightened. The way you know the hand of the Lord is upon you is by the situations you find yourself in. The signs are chaos, things not working when they should. And when there are signs that things might change but still aren't moving, that is the noise before the breakthrough.If only you knew there was more, you would not settle for what you have already received.From Hebrews 11:3, he reminds us that some situations require a second touch. Even though God has made promises, we must fight from victory, not from defeat. If you are not willing to contend, you are not willing to have. And just because you have not yet seen the outcome does not mean it has not already happened in the spirit.The bones in Ezekiel came together, but they were not yet living. God formed man, but he was not yet alive until God breathed into him. Referencing John 20:21–22, Psalm 33:6, Job 26:13, Job 33:8, Psalm 18:14, Job 4:9, and Isaiah 11:4, Pastor Shola establishes that the breath of God may be the only thing missing in a person's life.How to Receive the Breath of God:1. Enter into intercession for the sector or area you are called into, go into the gap.2. Read the Word until you are quickened by itThis message will help you:- Recognise the signs of God's hand at work even in seasons of chaos.- Contend for the fullness of what God has promised you.- Understand that the outcome has already happened, keep pressing.- Position yourself to receive the breath of God through intercession and the Word.- Watch, reflect, and allow God to breathe life into every dry and dormant thing in your life.——ABOUT THE NEWWe are a people of love and excellence who are result-oriented, spirit-led, word-rooted, prayer-driven, and kingdom-conscious.

How marketers can recognise ethical risk, apply sound judgement, and make defensible decisions under pressureReflection: Think of a time when speed, targets or uncertainty made a marketing decision harder. What created the pressure?
Why this matters:Marketing decisions are often made quickly, with incomplete information and commercial pressure
That is exactly when ethical risk becomes harder to spot
The AMA says marketing ethics should be centred because it promotes trust and transparency and benefits both business and society. Key point: Ethics is not a luxury for calmer times. It matters most when the pressure rises. By the end of this session, you should be able to:Recognise why ethical problems become harder under pressure
Use practical frameworks to assess difficult decisions
Understand how targets, incentives and stress can distort judgement
Make decisions that are commercially sensible and ethically defensible
Reduce the risk of misleading, unfair or harmful marketing practiceMore webinars like this at Cambridge Marketing College http://marketingcollege.com

Don't look at the troubles, at the difficulties, at your sickness, your poverty. Look at God and you'll find Him, if you do it with all your heart. I make a lot of mistakes, but I LOVE Him so much! How do you recognise God? How do you find Him? What is the evidence of God's existence in the Bible? It's the fact that He's a God of miracles, who answers prayer, when it takes a miracle! This is the reality! This is the God we're looking for: a God who answers all who call on Him, by miracles, by signs, by wonders. This is the evidence! Take the miraculous out and you destroy the reality of who God is. You make Him no different to men!  Moses says, Deuteronomy 4:32, ‘Ask now of the days that are past, since the day God created man on the earth, and ask from one side of Heaven to the other, whether there has been any such great thing as this thing is'' He challenges the people to ask the question in two dimensions: in time from creation until now, and in space from one side of the world to the other, ‘Have you ever seen a miracle as great as this that God did when He delivered Israel out of Egypt – by miracles, by signs and by wonders?!'

There is a particular kind of colleague who never raisestheir voice, never sends an obviously aggressive email, never does anything you can point to clearly as the problem. Instead they talk quietly, furrow their brow, and express concern, for the team, for the organisation, for the younger staff. They are the Doom Narrator and they are one of the most effective, and least called out disruptors in any workplace. Today we name the archetype, give you the research behind what is actually happening, and send you away with five practical strategies for protecting yourself from one of the most contagious forces in professional life.Book your: Career Clarity Call

What do you do when opposition comes? In this message from Restoring the House – Together, Anthony Delaney takes us into Nehemiah 4 — where the work of rebuilding meets resistance. Because whenever God calls you to build something that matters, you can expect a battle. Through mockery, pressure, and discouragement, Nehemiah shows us a powerful and practical response: pray and post a guard. Not just spiritual awareness, but spiritual action. This message will help you: • Recognise the real source of opposition • Guard your heart against discouragement • Keep building even in the middle of the battle • Stand firm in the victory Jesus has already won Because of Jesus, we don't fight for victory — we stand and build from victory.

Understanding the Customer Journey in Real Organisations

Why this matters - Customer journeys are rarely tidy in real organisations
; People move across channels, devices, departments and moments of need
; McKinsey notes that customer experience is about everything an organisation does to put customers first, managing journeys and serving needs across interactions; Marketing is not just communication placed along a funnel. It is part of a wider lived experience. 
Session aimsBy the end of this session, you should be able to:Understand what a customer journey is in practice
Map a simple journey using real touch-points
Recognise where marketing influences customer experience
Identify pain points and moments that matter

In this episode of the Clinical Update podcast, MIMS Learning deputy editor Rhiannon and medical editor Dawn provide a comprehensive update on prostate health. High-profile figures, such as Sir Chris Hoy, opening up about their own diagnoses have significantly increased public awareness of prostate cancer. In light of this, the editors discuss the rationale for targeted prostate cancer screening and patient counselling around prostate-specific antigen (PSA) tests. The conversation also highlights health inequalities in prostate cancer diagnosis, noting that Black men have double the risk of prostate cancer compared with other groups, and highlighting care for trans women, who may remain at risk of prostate cancer after gender-confirming surgery.Beyond malignancy, this episode covers the symptoms and management of benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) and chronic prostatitis in primary care.Educational objectivesAfter listening to this podcast, healthcare professionals should be better able to:Recall draft recommendations for targeted prostate cancer screening in high-risk groupsIdentify key risk factors for prostate cancer, including ethnicity and ageOutline factors that can raise or suppress PSA levelsUnderstand the diagnostic pathway and the role of digital rectal examinationRecognise symptoms and potential complications of BPH and prostatitisYou can access the website version of this podcast, along with a list of key learning points, on MIMS Learning - and make notes for your appraisal.

Anaphylaxis is one of those conditions we think we have got pretty well sorted. Recognise it early, give adrenaline, support the airway and circulation, and crack on. And in fairness, for the vast majority of patients, that approach works really well. But in this Roadside to Resus episode we take a step back and ask a pretty uncomfortable question, have we actually been thinking about anaphylaxis in the wrong way? Using some fascinating new evidence from the UK National Child Mortality Database, we explore the emerging understanding that fatal food-triggered anaphylaxis may be much more of a respiratory catastrophe than the classic circulatory collapse we often picture in our heads. The findings are genuinely thought provoking. Many of the fatal paediatric cases reviewed showed overwhelming airway and breathing compromise long before cardiovascular collapse occurred, with deterioration happening frighteningly quickly in the prehospital phase.  We work through the current Resuscitation Council UK and NICE guidance, look at where diagnostic confusion still exists, and discuss why early adrenaline absolutely remains the cornerstone of treatment. But we also explore whether our mental model of anaphylaxis needs updating, particularly when it comes to respiratory assessment, escalation and oxygenation strategies. We're also incredibly grateful to be joined by Ben McKenzie, who shares the devastating personal story behind the development of the AMAX4 approach and the lessons it holds for all of us managing critically unwell patients in the ED and prehospital environment.  This is a really powerful episode about recognition, trajectory and reframing how we think about severe anaphylaxis. Once again we'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & Rob

The Domestic Violence Charity, Sonas, is calling on the Government to amend Irish domestic violence legislation to explicitly recognise pet abuse as a distinct form of coercive control within abusive relationships. According to Sonas, concerns about pets are a significant barrier preventing some women from leaving abusive homes…Joining Ciara to discuss this is Fiona O'Malley, CEO of Sonas.

The reality of motherhood is filled with deep love and hope, yet it often carries quiet, unseen struggles. From burnout and self‑imposed expectations to the courage it takes to ask for help, it is a journey that stretches the mum in you in unexpected ways.In this special episode on motherhood, June speaks with two mothers at different stages of life. Jasmine Goh, married for 27 years, reflects on raising two young adult sons. Adelene Chan, married for 15 years, shares her experience of parenting three young children.Together, they explore what the process of becoming a better mum truly looks like—not through perfection, but through growth, self‑compassion, and kindness. Their stories remind us that being “good enough” often means letting go, caring for ourselves, and choosing presence over unrealistic ideals. Above all, this conversation offers gentle reassurance: you are learning, you are growing, and you are not alone.--If this conversation resonates with you, explore more Motherhood episodes through the links below.The Journey of Becoming MumWorking Mum Burnout: How do we Recognise the Signs?How can Mums Derive Joy and Security in Motherhood?--If you have enjoyed this episode, please leave us a rating and review on Spotify, Apple Podcast or Podchaser.

Hello and welcome to Episode 323 of The People Powered Business Podcast.Have you reached the point where you know a role in your business no longer makes sense, but the thought of making someone redundant feels overwhelming? Maybe business has changed, technology has improved how work gets done, or you simply can't justify carrying a salary for a role that's no longer needed. The problem is, one wrong step in a redundancy process can land you in serious trouble with Fair Work, and that's a risk no small business owner wants to take.I wanted to talk about this because I'm seeing so many businesses going through change right now. Some are restructuring because of economic pressure, some are evolving because of growth, and others are adapting to the impact AI is having on teams and workloads. Redundancy is often treated like a scary or taboo topic, but the reality is that restructuring your team can sometimes be the most practical and responsible thing you can do as a business owner. The key is making sure you do it properly and legally.In this episode, I break down exactly what a genuine redundancy actually is under the Fair Work Act, and more importantly, what it is not. I explain the consultation process that many employers completely overlook, why redeployment matters, and when small businesses may not have to pay redundancy pay at all. I also share the biggest mistakes that lead to unfair dismissal claims, including using redundancy to avoid performance management conversations and failing to document the process correctly. If you've ever worried about getting redundancy wrong, this episode will help you understand the practical steps that protect both your business and your employees. In this episode we cover:What makes a redundancy “genuine” under Fair Work The consultation process employers are legally required to follow When redeployment must be considered before ending employment Whether small businesses have to pay redundancy pay The most common redundancy mistakes that trigger unfair dismissal claims Links & Resources:Join People Powered HR: https://www.peoplepoweredbusiness.com.au/pphr DM me on Instagram @kristy.lee.billettConnect with me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristyleebillett/Email me at hello@peoplepoweredbusiness.com.auBook a 15-minute clarity call: https://calendly.com/kristyleebillett/chatWhat this episode coversMaking a role redundant can feel incredibly stressful for small business owners, especially when there's uncertainty around Fair Work obligations, consultation requirements and redundancy pay. This episode explains what a genuine redundancy actually means, when restructuring is appropriate, and how to avoid the costly mistakes that often lead to unfair dismissal claims.It's particularly relevant for businesses navigating change, growth, economic pressure or the impact of AI on team structures. By the end of this episode, listeners will understand the key legal and practical steps involved in managing a redundancy process properly. Key insight from this episodeRedundancy is about the role, not the person. If a business uses redundancy to avoid performance management or skips proper consultation and redeployment considerations, the redundancy may not be considered genuine under Fair Work, leaving the business exposed to unfair dismissal claims and significant financial risk. What you'll take awayUnderstand the three conditions that make a redundancy legally genuine Know what meaningful consultation with employees actually looks like Be able to identify when redeployment options must be considered Learn when small businesses may be exempt from paying redundancy pay Recognise the common mistakes that put employers at risk with Fair Work

Hello and welcome to Episode 322 of The People Powered Business Podcast.Are you using AI to help you manage your team… but secretly wondering if you're getting it wrong? Maybe you've asked it how to handle a tricky staff issue, calculate pay, or even draft a warning, and just hoped the answer was right. The reality is, AI can feel like a lifesaver when you're already flat out, but it can also lead you straight into a mess if you don't know where the line is.I keep seeing more and more business owners leaning on AI for HR support, and I get it. I use it too. But recently I found myself arguing with it over legislation it got completely wrong. It sounded confident. It looked credible. And if I didn't know better, I might have believed it. That's exactly why I wanted to talk about this. AI isn't the problem, but knowing when not to trust it is critical, especially when you're making decisions that affect your people and your business.In this episode, I break down where AI is genuinely helpful and where it becomes risky. We talk about how it can save you time with things like drafting job ads, writing scripts for difficult conversations, and simplifying policies. But we also get into the danger zones, like relying on it for compliance advice, navigating awards, or making high-stakes decisions like termination. I also share a simple framework you can use to decide when AI is enough and when you need real human expertise. The biggest takeaway? AI gives you information, not advice, and definitely not context. In this episode we cover: Where AI can genuinely save you time in HR tasks The biggest risks of relying on AI for employment decisions Why Australian employment law and awards trip AI up A simple “stakes test” to decide when to trust AI How to use AI as a starting point without putting your business at risk Links & Resources:

Have you ever looked at your website or your content and not quite recognised the person it's talking about? The one who apparently runs your business?If so, this episode of the ReWild Your Business podcast is for you.I'm getting into something that I think is incredibly common: the drift. The slow, incremental process by which a business that started as a real expression of who you are gradually becomes something you're just managing from the outside - you're trying your best to be the business owner you think you're supposed to be.This doesn't happen overnight. It happens through one tiny, reasonable tweak after another. The about page you softened because someone said it was confusing. The content style you adopted because one post unexpectedly went well. The offer you repackaged because someone in your peer group launched something similar and suddenly you felt like you needed to catch up.Each one makes sense in isolation. Stack enough of them together and one day you wake up and the business just doesn't feel like yours anymore.In this episode I'm exploring why this happens, what it costs you (and it costs a damn sight more than you think), and three questions to help you trace your way back to the work you're actually called to do.This is identity work. It's the foundation of everything… I know, I know - I sound like a broken record. But when you get it right, the right clients, the right content, the right offers - all of it gets so much easier, I promise you.If this episode lands for you and you'd like to go deeper, I invite you to book a call with me. It might be the thing that changes everything.Links:Book a call with Gill: https://go.oncehub.com/alignment-call This is a public episode.

CrowdScience listener Jeroen finds it hard to remember people's faces - and he wants to know why. He wonders if it's to do with getting older and if there's any way of improving. Presenter Caroline Steel has the same problem and is keen to find an answer too. She meets Professor Zaira Cattaneo, a neuroscientist based in Italy who researches face perception. Zaira has discovered which parts of the brain are engaged in facial recognition. She explains how we recognise faces and why ageing could be a factor in Jeroen's difficulty. Caroline travels to Bournemouth in the UK to meet researcher Professor Sarah Bate, who assesses Caroline's ability to recognise faces and explains the causes of face blindness. And she compares notes with fellow CrowdScience presenter Marnie Chesterton, who also has difficulty remembering faces. Around two per cent of the population have the condition. Could there be a reason why more than a third of CrowdScience presenters experience face blindness? If you've got a science question you'd like us to answer, email crowdscience@bbc.co.uk.

Is burnout inevitable in dentistry? Why do so many high-achieving dentists still feel unfulfilled? Are we too harsh on ourselves without even realising it? And what if the way we speak to ourselves is the real problem? In this episode, Jaz sits down with Dr Aditi Bhalla—a Prosthodontist and Integrative Psychotherapist, with over 15 years in dentistry and extensive training in mental health, mindfulness, and movement—to explore compassion-focused dentistry. They unpack burnout, perfectionism, fear-driven practice, and how understanding your mind could be the key to a sustainable, fulfilling career. https://youtu.be/pNsW6AiWsWQ Watch IC073 on Youtube Key Takeaways Burnout often stems from perfectionism, shame, and constant self-criticism Many dentists tie their self-worth entirely to clinical performance Childhood experiences can shape how we respond to stress and pressure High-functioning anxiety is common but often goes unnoticed NHS-style time pressure and fear of complaints drive chronic stress Decision fatigue in dentistry significantly impacts performance and wellbeing Social media amplifies comparison and feelings of inadequacy There is a growing gap between expectations and real-world dentistry Compassion requires courage, wisdom, and commitment—not weakness Dentists are good at caring for patients but neglect self-care Accepting positive feedback is as important as improving weaknesses Emotional awareness is the first step to managing stress effectively A “compassion toolkit” helps regulate emotions in real-time clinical scenarios Sustainable dentistry requires prevention of burnout, not just coping strategies Team culture improves when you recognise the human behind the role Compassionate leadership still requires clear boundaries and accountability Highlights of this episode: 00:00 Teaser 00:51 Introduction 07:50 What “Therapy” Means 11:43 Role of Childhood & Trauma 13:10 Therapists Need Therapy Too 14:40 Breakdown & Burnout in Dentistry 16:50 Causes of Burnout in Dentistry 19:50 Clinical Stress Factors 20:50 Decision Fatigue in Dentistry 23:35 Burnout in Modern Dentistry – Why More Now? 27:38 Midroll 30:59 Burnout in Modern Dentistry – Why More Now? 31:11 What is Compassion? 32:11 Lack of Self-Compassion in Dentistry 33:11 Three Directions of Compassion in Dentistry 35:11 Compassion Focused Dentistry (CFD) 39:11 Nervous System Awareness 41:31 Applying Compassion in DailyDental Practice 43:01 Compassion = Emotional Intelligence + Mindfulness 43:41 Compassion “Kit Bag” 45:11 Compassion in the Team 46:41 Creating a Compassionate Practice 51:51 Getting Started with Compassion 54:12 Outro

Why does dentistry have such high levels of stress and burnout? Why do so many clinicians feel isolated despite working in busy practices? What are the early warning signs that a colleague might be struggling? And what can you actually do — practically — if someone is in crisis? In this powerful and deeply important episode, Professor John Gibson shares his personal story and the mission behind the Canmore Trust. The conversation explores suicide prevention in dentistry, how to recognise warning signs, and the simple but life-saving actions every clinician should know. https://youtu.be/BftumzpytJI Watch IC071 on YouTube Key Takeaways Dentistry has a well-recognised issue with stress, burnout, and suicide risk Suicide is always multifactorial — never caused by a single event Toxic culture, including harassment and unrealistic expectations, contributes to distress Social media comparison can amplify feelings of inadequacy and isolation Dentistry is uniquely demanding — both intellectually and technically Mental health stigma prevents open conversations within the profession Neurodivergence is increasingly relevant and often underdiagnosed Perfectionism is a key risk trait linked to suicidal thinking Working below your moral standards creates significant psychological stress Warning signs include changes in temperament, withdrawal, and isolation Asking directly about suicide does not increase risk — it can save lives Use the “double bounce” approach: ask the question twice if needed If someone says yes, act immediately — hospital or emergency services You are not responsible for managing the crisis alone Early support includes sharing concerns and involving a trusted person GP support can be transformative and should not be delayed Highlight of this episode: 00:00 Teaser 00:51 Intro 04:16 John Gibson Introduction 07:15 Understanding the Scale of Suicide in Dentistry 09:59 Why Suicide Happens in Dentistry 11:13 Key Risk Factors of Suicide in Dentistry 12:09 Social Media and Comparison 12:52 Isolation 13:04 Difficulty of Dentistry 14:03 Mental Health Stigma 15:22 Neurodiversity 18:18 Perfectionism and Moral Conflict in Dentistry 21:44 Recognising Warning Signs of Suicide 21:46 Midroll 25:07 Recognising Warning Signs of Suicide 26:21 How to Approach a Suicidal Colleague 28:49 Double Bounce Technique 30:44 If the Answer is YES 33:36 Support and Resources for Dentists 34:12 Key Suicide Prevention Steps 37:40 Creating a Supportive Workplace 39:18 Reflective Space 40:00 Daily Positivity Practice 42:46 Canmore Trust Podcast 42:59 Outro Learn more about mental health in Dentistry: Check out more episodes on mental health, burnout, and wellbeing in dentistry.

Burnout in school leadership is rarely dramatic. More often, it looks like a principal who has driven home in tears after holding it together all day, or a leader who lies awake at 2 am running through tomorrow's decisions, or someone quietly building a wall between who they are at work and who they are at home. Brad Gaynor knows that experience firsthand. After more than 20 years as a primary school principal, Brad reached a breaking point he did not see coming. He kept it hidden from almost everyone,  colleagues, family, and community, while the weight of it quietly became unmanageable. It was only when he sought support, started writing and began to make sense of what had happened that From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Leadership Reset came to life. In this episode, Brad and I explore the story behind the book and the RESET framework it introduces. We talk about the leadership mythology that creates the conditions for burnout, the invisible load that school leaders carry, and why vulnerability in leadership is a strength, not a liability. Brad also shares what he has learned since writing the book through his current study in neuroscience and leadership, and why he believes the culture around overwork in education needs to change. We also get into the thorny but important question of joint responsibility: yes, individuals have a role in protecting their own wellbeing, but so do organisations. The conversation sits right at the heart of what Well-Led Schools is about. In This Episode, We Cover Brad's personal burnout story and what finally led him to write the book Why burnout builds gradually and the physical symptoms we normalise The leadership mask and the invisible cost of keeping up appearances What vulnerability in leadership actually means — and what it does not mean The systemic factors in education that make burnout predictable, not inevitable The RESET framework: Recognise, Explore, Shift, Embed, Thrive The Four Rs of Brad's personal journey: Recognition, Reflection, Realignment, Reinvention Joint responsibility for wellbeing: where personal and organisational accountability meet How leaders can model wellbeing without performing perfection What Brad hopes the book gives school leaders who are quietly struggling About Brad Brad Gaynor is an experienced educational leader and assistant director who works with principals and leadership teams across school improvement, development, coaching and leader wellbeing. After more than 20 years as a primary school principal, Brad knows firsthand the relentless pressures of educational leadership. That lived experience and his own recovery journey now underpin his work. His book, From Burnout to Breakthrough: The Leadership Reset, introduces the RESET framework as a practical, research-aligned roadmap for educational leaders seeking sustainable impact without losing themselves in the process.

Managing a team member who's being disrespectful is one of the most confidence-shaking situations a leader can face, precisely because it's so hard to name. Is it a conduct issue? A personality clash? Or is it you? In this episode, we unpack what disrespectful behaviour from a team member actually looks like, why leaders so often hesitate to act, and what to do when you're ready to address it.We share real examples from our own experience and client work, and walk through a practical approach that doesn't require you to go in heavy-handed, but does require you to stop waiting.Key points from this episodeHow disrespectful behaviour often hides in plain sight — and why high performers aren't immune from itThe self-reflection step most leaders skip before addressing conductWhy curiosity is one of your most underused tools in these conversationsUsing the AID framework (Action, Impact, Desired behaviour) to tackle it directly without the emotionWhat to do if it doesn't improve — and why escalation is rarer than you think00:00 Introduction and episode overview00:26 What does disrespectful behaviour actually look like?03:00 The grey areas: when you're not sure if it's a conduct issue07:00 How many people wish they'd waited longer vs. acted sooner?08:30 Why addressing it is a development opportunity for both of you10:00 Setting clear expectations before the conversation14:00 Pam's example: when the negativity wasn't what it seemed16:00 Using curiosity to get underneath the behaviour20:30 Where to start: a step-by-step approach23:00 The AID framework in practice24:30 If it doesn't improve: escalation, consistency, and keeping records26:30 Final thoughtsSonnet 4.6Useful LinksConnect with Pam on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pamelalangan/Connect with Jacqui on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jacqui-jagger/Follow the Catalyst Careers LinkedIn page for career tips and adviceInterested in working with us?

In Luke 24, the disciples move from confusion to clarity not by being told something new, but by being led back to what Jesus had already spoken. As they remember His words, their eyes are opened to recognise Him. And what they recognise becomes the witness they now carry. The resurrection is not only something to believe, but a movement: held in us, opened to us, and lived through us.

Reset Breathing, Equalisation Fixes & Ocean Glide: Cindy Yang on Spearfishing, Freediving and Mindset. What happens when a Taiwanese-born Californian firefighter, underwater photographer, and freediving coach moves to Australia for love and brings two decades of ocean wisdom with her? Cindy Yang of Ocean Glide joins Shrek for a wide-ranging conversation that covers her extraordinary life arc — from a hyperactive kid in Taipei who'd never seen the ocean, to chasing abalone on the Northern California coast, to becoming one of the few female firefighters in her station, to eventually leaving her dream career to chase a different kind of depth. Along the way, they dig into practical gold: Cindy's seasickness microdosing protocol, a deep dive into sinus anatomy and why surgery isn't always the answer, her natural wetsuit lube (and exactly how to use it), and the episode's standout gem — the RESET acronym, a breathwork framework drawn from firefighting and freediving that you can use mid-dive, mid-panic, or mid-argument with your kids to snap yourself back into calm, clear decision-making. If you've ever struggled with EQ, stress underwater, or just want to feel more in control in and out of the water, this one's for you.

Don't Blame Your Parents Or Anyone Else Who are you blaming? The weather? The economy? Your ex-boss? Your trauma? Your parents? In this deeper dive from the FMQ seed "Who or What Is to Blame?", I take you through something powerful: Blame feels like a reason… but it's actually an excuse. And here's the uncomfortable truth: If you stop blaming… what happens to your story? In this episode, I walk you through two simple but life-shifting processes to help you: Let go of resentment and emotional baggage Reclaim your personal power Release blame without denying what happened Stop living at the "effect" side of life Move back to cause — where choice lives We're not denying the past. We're learning from it. And when you learn… you're free. What We Explore Why blame keeps you stuck in victimhood The hidden fear behind letting go of your story The shift from "This happened to me" to "This shaped me" How empowerment feels safer than excuse-making Why your parents were doing the best they could How to stop dragging emotional baggage through life Process #1 – Letting Go of Someone You Blame A short but powerful visualisation to: Thank the person for the lessons Recognise the connection between you Cut the emotional cord Dissolve resentment Reclaim your personal power This works for: Ex-partners Parents Former bosses Friends Anyone you still feel "connected" to emotionally You neutralise the emotional residue… without denying what happened. Process #2 – Releasing Blame Toward Your Parents This one is beautiful. You visualise your parent as a tiny innocent child. Before the beliefs. Before the limitations. Before the behaviours. You see them as they truly began — just like you. And something shifts. Blame dissolves. Understanding appears. Compassion grows. Empowerment returns. Because now you realise: They were doing the best they could with the resources they had. And now… You get to choose differently. The Core Shift Instead of: "This happened to me." You say: "This happened. I learned. And now I choose." That's the difference between living at effect and living at cause. Blame keeps you small. Learning makes you powerful. Responsibility gives you freedom. And here's the kicker… If you let go of blame, you don't lose your story. You gain your future. In This Episode You'll Discover Why blame feels protective (but drains your energy) The emotional cost of carrying resentment How to release anger without suppressing it Why compassion doesn't mean approval The difference between remembering and reliving How empowerment naturally replaces excuse-making Key Takeaway You are not defined by what happened. You are defined by what you decide now. And once the emotional charge dissolves… clarity appears. Confidence grows. Choice returns. No more dragging the past around like a suitcase full of bricks. Just freedom.

There is nothing in life that matters more than life itself. Yet, so many of us get caught in a cycle of work and obligation, never stopping to ask the fundamental question: "What is this all for?". For leaders, entrepreneurs, and experts, this question is not a luxury- it's the very foundation of a sustainable and impactful career. When you are clear on your purpose, the way you show up, lead, and communicate changes entirely. It becomes the source of your confidence, your charisma, and your ability to connect with others.In this conversation with Mark Delaney, author of In the Game, we explore the often-misunderstood concept of purpose and its profound impact on our lives and work.Here are three key things we discussed:✳️ The difference between living a life in the context of your purpose versus the context of your problems.✳️ How a lack of purpose can manifest in unexpected ways, and why it's the root of so much frustration.✳️ Why purpose isn't about finding a specific, grand mission, but rather a general way of being that can be applied to everything you do.Based on our conversation, here are three actions you can take:✳️ Recognise that focusing on your past only gives it more power over you. True progress comes from turning on the light of purpose, not examining the darkness.✳️ Understand that you can't fix your problems, but you can be set free from them by shifting your focus and changing the way you think.✳️ Consider that feelings of depression or anxiety might be your heart telling you it's malnourished. It may be asking for more connection, fun, and joy.Timestamps(00:00:00) - Introduction: Life, Work, and Purpose(00:02:49) - Who is Mark Delaney (and why he's not a "Life Coach")(00:05:21) - The Invisible Burden of Lacking Purpose(00:12:06) - How Purpose Shapes Identity and Leadership(00:17:15) - The Leader's Role in Organisational Purpose(00:22:09) - Unlocking Your Own Sense of Purpose(00:27:34) - The "X Factor" of a Purpose-Driven Leader(00:33:16) - Purpose as the Foundation of Your Life----Get your copy of my Personal Brand Business BlueprintIt's the FREE roadmap to starting, scaling or just fixing your expert business.www.amplifyme.agency/roadmap----Subscribe to my Youtube!!
