You can earn half a million dollars a year and still have nothing left by the end of the month. That's not a theory. A Goldman Sachs study found 40% of people making over $500,000 are living paycheck to paycheck. The income isn't the problem. The identity is. George Kamel, #1 national bestselling author of Breaking Free from Broke and co-host of The Ramsey Show, has taken thousands of calls from people who earned great money and lost it all. People who confused looking rich with building wealth. Couples who kept separate bank accounts right up until the marriage fell apart. His take: debt is never just a math problem. It's a behavior problem. And no budget in the world sticks until you decide what kind of person you're going to be with money. In this conversation, George breaks down why buy now pay later apps are engineered to increase your cart size by 40%, why prediction markets like Polymarket are doing to young men what gambling apps did to the last generation, and why the moment someone calls a financial decision an "opportunity," they've usually already started justifying a terrible one. The path to financial peace is simpler than you've been told. And it starts with creating friction, not removing it.

It's the shot we all play for: that big, fluffy, juicy floater hanging in the air, begging to be put away. So why do so many players blow it? In this episode, Michael O'Neal and Mircea Morariu dig into one of pickleball's most mismanaged opportunities, the floater, and break down exactly what goes wrong and how to fix it. From collapsing on the space (or as Mircea prefers, pouncing) to limiting your backswing, keeping your arm in your peripheral vision, and aiming at that safe elliptical target in the middle of the court rather than hero-ing it down the line, this episode is packed with technique, drills, and hard-won lessons. Including Michael's very painful memory of a floater that cost him a tournament game at 10-10. Yeah. That one. If you've ever ripped a floater into the net, watched it sail four feet wide, or worse, let it bounce when you had every chance to finish the point, this episode is for you.

What to listen for:"If you are not doing search and rescue for the right reasons, you need to look in the mirror. Because it is not about you, and it's not about your dog."Today, our hosts, Stacy Barnett and Robin Greubel, have set the dogs aside (mostly!) to talk about something that affects every handler who has ever posted a training video, shown up to a webinar, or scrolled too far down a comment thread. They're calling it the “toxicity tax,” and they've come to argue it's being paid at every level of the canine world, from nose work titling to search and rescue callouts.The online world, particularly on social media, strips away tone, facial expression, and social consequence, leaving text that people read with whatever emotional state they're already carrying.Robin references the book Don't Feed the Elephants! when she explains that “Avoidaphants” are everywhere in teams that have never sat down to agree on how they want to communicate.Stacy offers sport as a mirror for SAR. The moment you start watching other dogs instead of your own, you've already lost the run. Comparing your dog's time, your team's reputation, your cert against someone else's is a fast road to a distracted, ineffective search.The mission has to be bigger than the handler.Robin and Stacy agree that training is not a recipe. Dogs are individuals, methodology debates serve nobody, and a perfect run every time is evidence of stagnation.What serves the dog, and the missing person, is efficient, effective teamwork built inside a culture that gives grace when the wheels come off. Key Topics:●      Why We Eat Our Own: Social Media in the Canine Community (02:40)●      Staying Humble, Hungry, and Smart (08:32)●      Why Watching Other Dogs Costs You Your Own (15:29)●      Posting Mistakes: Safe Groups vs. the Public Feed (24:25)●      Principles Over Methodology (32:59)●      Constructive Feedback vs. Criticism (37:28)●      Coaching Someone Who's a Hot Mess (41:49)●      Protecting the Volunteer Pipeline (46:30) Resources:·      Don't Feed the Elephants: Overcoming the Art of Avoidance to Build Powerful Partnerships https://amzn.to/4wFYFlk (affiliate link)·      Be the Ideal Team Player: How to Recognize and Cultivate The Three Essential Virtues https://amzn.to/4tJq8jq (affiliate link)We want to hear from you:Check out the K9 Detection Collaborative FB page and comment on the episode post!K9Sensus Detection Dog Trainer AcademyK9Sensus Foundation can be found on Facebook and Instagram.

It's hospital day five. The patient looked better yesterday… but now she's hypotensive, on vasopressors, acidotic, and spiraling toward multi-organ failure. The CT scan doesn't show perforation or megacolon, but your gut tells you this is going south. Do you keep pushing medical therapy… or is it time to operate?Join Drs. Rushabh Dev, Jeffrey Coughenour, Kevin Bartow, Raymond Okeke, and Desra Fletcher from the Emergency General Surgery team in Tiger Country at Mizzou as they tackle one of the deadliest and most challenging diseases acute care surgeons face: fulminant Clostridioides difficile infection. In this Clinical Challenges episode, the panel discusses diagnostic stewardship, ASCRS recommendations, timing of operative intervention and technique, subtotal colectomy versus diverting loop ileostomy with lavage, and physiology that should push surgeons toward definitive source control. Through a real-world high-risk case vignette, the team explores the hardest question in emergency general surgery: when to stop hoping medical therapy will work and pull the operative trigger.Hosts Dr. Rushabh Dev FACS (Moderator, Surgical Attending) – Assistant Professor of Surgery, Associate PD ACS & SCCM Fellowship, SICU Medical Director, Lieutenant Commander United States Navy Reserve  Dr. Jeffery Coughenour FACS (Surgical Attending) – Professor of Surgery and Emergency Medicine, Trauma Medical Director at the University of Missouri SOM Dr. Kevin Bartow FACS (Surgical Attending) –Professor of Surgery, Minimally Invasive Surgeon and General Surgery. Department of General Surgery at the University of Missouri SOM Raymond Okeke – Acute Care Surgery/Surgical Critical Care Fellow, University of Missouri School of Medicine  Desra Fletcher – PGY 3 General Surgery Resident, University of Missouri School of Medicine  Learning ObjectivesBy the end of this episode, listeners should be able to: Define the spectrum of Clostridioides difficile infection (CDI), including non-severe, severe, and fulminant disease, and recognize the physiologic implications of fulminant colitis.  Review contemporary diagnostic stewardship for CDI, including appropriate stool testing, pitfalls of PCR/NAAT interpretation, and the role and limitations of CT imaging in fulminant disease.  Describe evidence-based medical management of fulminant CDI, including high-dose enteral vancomycin, intravenous metronidazole, rectal vancomycin for ileus, and principles of antimicrobial stewardship.  Recognize the high-risk clinical features that should prompt urgent surgical evaluation, including worsening shock, vasopressor dependence, lactate elevation, organ failure, and evolving abdominal exam findings.  Discuss the operative indications and timing for surgery in fulminant CDI and understand why delayed intervention contributes to mortality.  Compare subtotal colectomy with end ileostomy versus diverting loop ileostomy with antegrade lavage, including current evidence, patient selection, limitations of the literature, and ASCRS recommendations.  Review practical operative strategies for subtotal colectomy in unstable patients, including damage-control principles and common technical pitfalls.  Apply clinical reasoning to a complex, high-risk case of fulminant CDI in a patient with decompensated cirrhosis, septic shock, and multi-organ dysfunction.  References ASCRS Clinical Practice Guidelines for *Clostridioides difficile* Infection (2021)  Surgical Management of *Clostridium difficile* Colitis — Neal et al., 2011 (Loop Ileostomy + Lavage Protocol)  Clinical Practice Guidelines for *Clostridioides difficile* Infection in Adults and Children (IDSA/SHEA, 2021 Update)  Adjunctive Hyperbaric Oxygen and Surgical Outcomes in Necrotizing Soft Tissue Infections (Background discussion of severe infection physiology)  Total Abdominal Colectomy Versus Diverting Loop Ileostomy for Fulminant CDI — Systematic Review & Meta-analysis  Current Status of Surgical Therapy for Fulminant *Clostridioides difficile* Colitis  Behind the Knife Episode 648 – Emergency General Surgery Journal Review: *Clostridioides difficile* Infection  Bottom line: Fulminant C. diff is one of the few EGS diseases where the hardest decision is not what operation to perform — it's recognizing when medical therapy has failed before the patient becomes unsalvageable.Please visit https://behindtheknife.org to access other high-yield surgical education podcasts, videos and more.  If you liked this episode, check out our recent episodes here: https://behindtheknife.org/listenBehind the Knife Premium: https://behindtheknife.org/premiumOral Board Review: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-boardOral Board Simulator: https://behindtheknife.org/oral-board/simulatorGeneral Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/general-surgery-oral-board-reviewTrauma Surgery Video Atlas: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/trauma-surgery-video-atlasDominate Surgery: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Clerkship: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-clerkshipDominate Surgery for APPs: A High-Yield Guide to Your Surgery Rotation: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/dominate-surgery-for-apps-a-high-yield-guide-to-your-surgery-rotationVascular Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/vascular-surgery-oral-board-reviewColorectal Surgery Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/colorectal-surgery-oral-board-reviewSurgical Oncology Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/surgical-oncology-oral-board-reviewCardiothoracic Oral Board Review Course: https://behindtheknife.org/premium/cardiothoracic-surgery-oral-board-reviewDownload our App:Apple App Store: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/behind-the-knife/id1672420049Android/Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.btk.app&hl=en_US

In this episode of Storage Wins, Alex Pardo welcomes back Dan Wentzel with a major announcement: after months of grinding through deals, cold calls, and follow-ups, Dan is officially under contract on a $2.625 million self-storage facility that has 234 units and 28,000 square feet in a growing market with strong demographics.   What makes this milestone so powerful isn't just the deal itself — it's the journey that led to it. Dan cold called this owner four years ago, followed up for over a year, sent somewhere between six and twelve offers, and refused to quit even when the seller went to a broker and the deal almost died twice. This is a masterclass in what persistence actually looks like in the real world of self-storage investing.   The conversation dives deep into how a single phone call to a local bank, uncovering better lending terms than anything previously available, completely changed what Dan could offer and finally got the deal done. It's a reminder that creative problem-solving and consistent action can unlock opportunities that feel out of reach.   Alex and Dan also work through the deal's financials in real time, breaking down back-of-napkin underwriting: starting with $275,000 in current revenue, applying a 35% expense ratio to arrive at a $178,750 NOI, and exploring what a conservative 20% rent increase could do (pushing projected NOI to over $217,000). With rates sitting 30–40% below market and only two competitors in the area (one of which appears to be at capacity), the upside is real. The episode closes with a cliffhanger. The numbers are promising, but the next episode will tackle how to structure the capital stack: debt vs. equity, investor returns, and whether this deal can fully support itself.   This is one of the most honest and instructive episodes in the series, proof that the deal of your life can be the one you almost walked away from. ⸻ You'll Learn How To: Push through analysis paralysis and doubt by staying in motion even when results aren't showing yet  Follow up with sellers over months and years without burning the relationship  Use simple back-of-napkin math to quickly evaluate any self-storage deal  Apply an expense ratio to calculate NOI and interpret cap rates in context • Identify value-add opportunities from below-market rents and unsophisticated operations  Use bank financing creatively to increase your offer and structure a better deal  Recognize what makes a market worth pursuing: population growth, median income, and limited competition  Build a simple, sustainable follow-up system that doesn't require an expensive CRM ⸻ What You'll Learn in This Episode: [0:00] Dan announces he's under contract on a $2.625 million storage facility [1:00] Alex reflects on Dan's journey — from stuck and overwhelmed to under contract [3:16] What the mindset shift actually looked like: keeping your head down and taking the next step [4:08] Was quitting ever a real thought?

"Somewhere between six and twelve" [12:07] Why seller financing was difficult: the seller wanted 40% down [13:03] What made this deal worth the persistence: unsophisticated owner, strong market [13:28] No Google Maps presence, no online rentals, no rate management — maximum upside [14:22] Dan's follow-up system: a Google spreadsheet and phone reminders [15:14] Why the best CRM is the one you actually use [15:55] Market demographics: 3% annual population growth, $90K median household income [16:22] Seller's motivation: retirement [17:06] Purchase price per square foot: $94 — high, but not the full picture [17:31] Current annual revenue: $275,000 at 95% occupancy [18:01] Walking through back-of-napkin math with Dan live on the show [19:47] NOI calculation: $275K × 65% = $178,750 — what that means as a 7 cap [21:07] Why cap rates alone don't tell the full story [22:22] How much can revenue grow? Rates are 30–40% below market [23:48] Analyzing worst case, likely, and best case revenue scenarios [25:11] Only two competitors — one appears to be at full capacity [26:40] How to review the P&L month by month to project ramp-up revenue [27:17] Conservative scenario: 20% rate increase = $60K in additional top-line revenue [27:41] New projected NOI: $217,750 — now buying at an 8 cap [28:29] What comes next: layering debt and equity onto the deal [30:29] The cliffhanger: tune in to the next episode for full capital stack breakdown ⸻ Who This Episode Is For: Investors who have been grinding without results and are questioning whether to keep going  Anyone trying to source their first off-market self-storage deal through cold calling  Listeners who want to understand how to underwrite a deal from scratch  Entrepreneurs learning how to structure persistent, respectful follow-up with sellers  Investors exploring how bank financing can improve deal terms  Anyone building a value-add self-storage investment thesis  People who need a reminder that the breakthrough is usually just on the other side of the next rep ⸻ Why You Should Listen: Most people give up long before the deal gets done.   Dan Wentzel cold called this seller four years ago, got nowhere, followed up for over a year, sent over half a dozen offers, watched it almost go to other buyers twice — and then found one bank with better terms that changed everything.   This episode is a real-time case study in what persistence, creative financing, and consistent action actually look like in the self-storage business. If you've been putting in the work and not yet seeing the results, this conversation will remind you why you can't afford to stop now. ⸻ Follow Alex Pardo here: Website: https://alexpardo.com/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/alexpardo15 Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alexpardo25 YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@AlexPardo Storage Wins Website: https://storagewins.com/ ⸻ Have conversations with at least three storage owners, brokers, private lenders, or equity partners inside the Storage Wins Facebook Group.

Summary Lt Gen Clint Hinote, USAF (Ret.), and CH(COL) Light Shin, USA, join host Josh Jackson to examine influencer culture through a biblical lens. Hinote brings decades of military leadership experience and is now building a speaking ministry focused on integrating Christian faith and leadership into a single, unified message. Shin serves as an active-duty Army chaplain and father of three daughters, navigating influencer culture's effects on faith and family in real time. Both will be speaking on the theme of influence at OCF's White Sulphur Springs Conference Center this summer. The conversation begins by establishing a biblical framework for thinking about influence—one that applies to all Christians before it applies to military officers specifically. A few key distinctions anchor everything that follows. First, the platform versus the algorithm. Both guests agree that social media platforms are morally neutral—the tool itself is neither good nor evil. Hinote compares them to the Roman road system: the same infrastructure used to carry armies also carried the early gospel across the known world. What man built for one purpose, God can use for another. The YouVersion Bible App is offered as a contemporary example of Christians using technology with vision for gospel purposes. The algorithms driving those platforms, however, are a different matter. They are deliberately engineered not to inform or build up users, but to keep them scrolling—by targeting base impulses, feeding comparison, and manufacturing shame. Hinote frames these as the "flaming arrows" of Ephesians 6, and the first thing you see on social media that triggers envy, comparison, or temptation is an arrow. Recognize it. Raise your shield of faith. Second, influencer versus witness. Shin draws a sharp distinction from Acts 1:8, saying that an influencer seeks to build a following but a witness tells the truth about what they have seen and heard, regardless of the audience's reaction. Both guests agree that Christian influence should be a byproduct of a Christ-centered life—not a goal pursued in its own right. When influence becomes the goal, self replaces God at the center. The framework they offer is simple: know Christ above all things, do what Christ commanded, and become more like Jesus through that ongoing, lifelong process. Influence, rightly understood, flows from that. As Shin puts it, the question worth asking regularly is: "Whose kingdom did I build today—God's or mine?" Third, authenticity over curation. The lie of influencer culture, Hinote argues, is that you have to look like you have it all figured out. In reality, authenticity builds trust, and trust is what creates genuine influence. This is as true in the gospel as it is in personal branding, and the early church wrestled with the same pull toward following personalities over Christ, as Paul addresses directly in 1 Corinthians 1:12. The standard the guests return to throughout is 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV): "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you—yet do it with gentleness and respect." With that foundation in place, the conversation turns to what this means specifically for Christian officers serving in uniform. Referenced in this conversation: Summer R&R 2 at WSS (Hinote) Summer R&R 6 at WSS (Shin) YouVersion Bible App The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller   Questions answered and themes covered in this interview include:   How is social media affecting the younger generation entering military service? Young people entering the military are increasingly shaped by a worldview centered on self-promotion, curated personas, and metrics of online acceptance. This stands in direct tension with what military formation is designed to accomplish. The foundational goal of basic training is the breakdown of individual ego and the subordination of self to the unit. Shin references Timothy Keller's The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness as the counterpoint to what he observes: recruits arriving not in freedom, but in what he calls "bondage of self-obsession"—more concerned with how they're perceived on a platform than how they're showing up for the person next to them. Hinote adds that this tension isn't new, and that American individualism has always been something the military has had to address. However, the platforms intensify that individualism by continuously reinforcing exactly the self-focused impulses that military culture is trying to dismantle. Character development must be continuous and intentional, not treated as something institutions address only when there's time. Resource: The Freedom of Self-Forgetfulness by Timothy Keller   How do I share my faith as a military officer without it being weird or forced? Start by living the message before communicating it, and know which role you're speaking from at any given moment. Hinote, drawing from his own experience rising through senior military ranks, offers a framework that proved practically useful. When you are on a platform, in uniform, with rank on your shoulders and a flag behind you, you are speaking from a position of institutional authority, and conflating that authority with the authority of Christ risks manipulation and coercion, which is not Christlike leadership. In settings where you have more personal freedom—as a church member, a neighbor, a citizen—you have more latitude to speak openly about your faith. The key is empathy: always consider what role your audience sees you occupying. In either context, when you fail—and you will—own it and apologize. Authenticity builds trust. Trust creates real influence. A practical starting point Hinote recommends for any developing leader is this: keep a journal, write down every role you hold, and identify the through line connecting them all. Then live that through line. The standard throughout is 1 Peter 3:15 (ESV): "Always being prepared to make a defense to anyone who asks you for a reason for the hope that is in you—yet do it with gentleness and respect." Statistics and data shared this episode (plus a few extra not included): A working definition of influencer culture: Influencer culture is a social and economic phenomenon created when social media platforms reward people for curating a public identity, performing for engagement, and building an audience around themselves. Influencers use their platform to shape the opinions, lifestyles, and purchasing decisions of their audience. Every generation is influenced in some way by influencer marketing: 55% of Gen Z trust influencer recommendations, compared with 44% of Millennials, 35% of Gen X, and 28% of Baby Boomers (2025 Clutch survey). StoryBox says there are approximately 127 million active social media influencers worldwide—roughly 2.4% of the global social media user base of 5+ billion people. EMarketer breaks that down into 4 tiers of influencers: Nano: 1,000–10,000 followers; Micro: 10,000–100,000 followers; Macro: 100,000–1 million followers; and Mega/celebrity: 1 million+ followers. The vast majority of influencers on TikTok (nearly 88%) are nano-influencers and Instagram follows a similar pattern with nano-influencers representing about 76% of its influencers (eMarketer). According to some reports, military-related content on TikTok alone amassed over 15 billion views in 2023; look up #MilTok. Military.com calls it the rise of soldier influencers. Influencer culture is not just shaping what people buy (or which branch to join)—it's doing three things: It's shaping how an entire generation sees themselves, forms relationships, and decides who to trust. Consider the following: In terms of how they see themselves: Writer and Substack author Freya India, whose book GIRLS was published earlier this year, frames influencer culture this way—girls as young as 12 packaging themselves for Instagram, getting feedback on their appearance, measuring their worth in likes and followers. An adjacent stat is this: 47% of Gen Z often or always feel anxious (Gallup, 2023). That's the self-perception toll. In terms of forming relationships: A Harvard study says 61% of young adults ages 18–25 report profound loneliness—the highest rate of any age group. This is the one that tends to surprise people, because the assumption is that hyper-connected generations would be less lonely or that older generations would be the loneliest. In terms of deciding who to trust: Only 8% of Gen Z say there's a religious leader they can turn to (Springtide Research). And from Edelman—religious and faith leaders rank at 44% trust rate among Gen Z, well below doctors, scientists, and teachers. But here's the flip side: family members rank at 88% trust. The hunger for relational authority is still there and it's real. Instead, it's institutional authority that's taken a hit.

Women Leaders Overcome Self-Doubt: The Power Quotient Framework That Changes Everything (2026) Executive Summary: 68% of women in tech experience imposter syndrome, yet most have never been taught to fight it strategically. Former IBM VP Shelmina Babai Abji shares her Power Quotient (PQ) framework — a proven system for silencing the inner critic, amplifying your voice of courage, and advancing your leadership career. Quick Takeaways: 68% of women in tech report imposter syndrome — tech is the most affected industry (Hays, 2025). Your "Power Quotient" (PQ) is the ability to intentionally choose an empowering response over a disempowering one. The voice of fear is doing its job — your job is to feed your voice of courage louder reasons to act. For every 100 men promoted to first manager, only 81 women make the same leap (McKinsey, 2025) — PQ is a competitive differentiator. Showing your worth is a continuous journey of competence, confidence, relationships, and personal branding — not a one-time event. Sixty-eight percent of women in tech experience imposter syndrome. Let that number land. That means more than two out of every three talented, qualified women sitting in engineering meetings, VP offices, and C-suite strategy sessions are secretly wondering if they belong there. And according to a KPMG survey of 750 female executives, 75% of senior women leaders have experienced imposter syndrome at some point in their careers — with 85% saying they believe it's widespread in corporate America. Yet almost no one teaches women what to do about it — strategically, systematically, and permanently. I'm Sabrina Braham, MA, MFT, PCC — executive leadership coach with over 30 years of experience, and host of the Women's Leadership Success Podcast, now with over 950,000 downloads and ranked in the top 1.5% of podcasts globally. In Episode 162, I sit down with Shelmina Babai Abji — TEDx speaker, former IBM Vice President, angel investor, and author of Show Your Worth — for one of the most powerful and practical conversations I've ever had on this podcast. Shelmina grew up in poverty in Tanzania, put herself through school across three countries, walked into a room of 2,000 engineers where no one looked like her, and still became one of the highest-ranking women of color in IBM's history — overseeing teams that generated over $1 billion in annual revenue. Her secret? A framework she calls the Power Quotient. If you're a woman leader in tech or any competitive industry who is battling negative mental chatter, fear of speaking up, or the relentless whisper that says you're not qualified enough — this episode is for you. Why Self-Doubt Is Hitting Women Leaders Harder Than Ever in 2026 The data tells a story that is urgent and personal. A 2025 Hays survey of more than 8,000 professionals found that 68% of women in tech experience imposter syndrome — and that approximately one-third say these feelings grow more intense as their careers advance, not less. Tech is now the single most-affected industry in the entire workforce. This is not a personal failing. It is a structural reality. As Shelmina describes it, when you look around a room and see no one who looks like you, no one who sounds like you, no one who grew up like you — your brain does exactly what it is designed to do: it searches for evidence that you belong, finds little, and generates doubt. "I walked into a room of 2,000 engineers," Shelmina recalls, "and I realized there was not one person that looked like me. Not one person that spoke like me. And I started undermining my own capabilities, underestimating my own worth." The compounding problem is this: according to the McKinsey Women in the Workplace 2025 report, women represent 49% of entry-level employees — yet by the time you reach the C-suite, fewer than 29% of those seats belong to women. For every 100 men promoted to their first manager role, only 81 women make the same leap. The "broken rung" is real, and self-doubt is one of the forces that keeps it broken. The cost of unchecked self-doubt is not just personal — it is organizational. Women who silence themselves in meetings, decline stretch assignments, or step back from promotions because they do not feel "ready" are costing their companies their most strategic asset: authentic, experienced, high-EQ leadership. The good news? Shelmina's own career is proof that the cycle can be broken — and the tool she used is available to every woman listening right now. Introducing the Power Quotient (PQ): Your Most Underused Leadership Asset Most leaders are familiar with IQ (intellectual intelligence) and EQ (emotional intelligence). Shelmina introduces a third: PQ — Power Quotient. "We own the power to intentionally pick an empowering response to a disempowering stimulus, whether that stimulus is internal or external. That's your PQ. And the internal stimulus must be taken care of first, before we can fight the external." This is not a motivational concept. It is a cognitive framework with three operating principles: PQ Principle 1: Recognize the Voice of Fear — Without Obeying It The voice of fear is not your enemy. It is doing exactly what it evolved to do: keep you in your comfort zone. The moment you recognize that the whisper saying "they'll find out you don't belong" is just a voice — not a fact — you reclaim agency over it. Shelmina's turning point came during her first year at a major tech employer. She was sitting in a meeting, holding back an idea. Then she watched someone else state her exact idea — and receive praise for it. "That was the first time I recognized that my ideas do matter," she says. "And once I had that inner victory, everything changed." Try This Now: The next time you catch yourself editing an idea before you say it, ask: "Is this my voice of fear or my voice of courage speaking?" Name it. That naming alone is the beginning of PQ. PQ Principle 2: Feed Your Voice of Courage With Reasons Courage is not the absence of fear. It is acting despite fear — and it grows when you actively give it ammunition. Shelmina calls this "feeding your voice of courage," and it is a deliberate, intentional practice. In her case, the reason was visceral: "If I didn't speak up, they would not extend my visa. My dream of lifting my family out of poverty would be over." That reason was more powerful than her fear. Your reason does not need to be that dramatic — but it does need to be real to you. Effective reasons to feed your voice of courage include: The impact your idea could have on your team or clients The career advancement that depends on your visibility The women who will follow in your footsteps if you blaze this trail The competencies you will build only by speaking up and stretching PQ Principle 3: Make Your Voice of Courage Louder Than Your Voice of Fear This is the practice. Not silencing fear — but systematically amplifying courage until it drowns fear out. "I made my voice of courage louder than my voice of fear," Shelmina says, "by feeding it reasons why I should do something, as opposed to reasons why I shouldn't." This maps directly to what 2026 executive presence research identifies as the core of leadership gravitas: decisiveness under pressure and emotional self-regulation. Leaders who can redirect internal narratives in high-stakes moments are the ones who get promoted, trusted, and retained. How to Show Your Worth Without Waiting to Be Noticed One of the most actionable insights from Shelmina's work is this: showing your worth is not self-promotion. It is a strategic practice of continuously positioning yourself to contribute higher and higher value — and then ensuring the right people have a front-row seat to that contribution. "Show your worth, in the context of my book, is the value you contribute towards the success of your organization," Shelmina explains. "The recognition that I have something to contribute is the beginning of understanding your worth. And then the journey is: how do I continuously position myself to contribute more?" This has four dimensions that mirror 2026's most sought-after leadership competencies: Competencies — continuously building the skills that drive organizational outcomes Confidence — the deep-seated self-trust that comes from doing hard things and surviving them Relationships — intentionally building the four key relationships (boss, peers, mentors, sponsors — covered in Part II) Personal branding — ensuring your value is visible, not just felt Worth is not static. It is not something you either have or you don't. "The more competent you become," Shelmina says, "the higher the value you create." It is a compounding cycle — and it begins the moment you decide your ideas matter. Overcoming Negative Mental Chatter: A Framework for Women in Tech Negative mental chatter — the constant inner voice of "I'm not smart enough, I'll sound stupid, they'll find out" — is the presenting symptom of an unchecked voice of fear. Shelmina identifies it as the single biggest barrier she sees in her work with women leaders, and she is specific about how to address it. Step 1: Externalize It Treat negative mental chatter the way you would treat a notification on your phone: notice it, acknowledge it, then decide whether to engage. The chatter loses power the moment you observe it rather than inhabit it. Step 2: Name the Fear Underneath Is it fear of failure? Fear of judgment? Fear of stepping outside your comfort zone? Fear of being seen as someone who doesn't belong? Naming the specific fear collapses it from a fog into a manageable object. You can work with a named fear. You cannot work with a fog. Step 3: Reframe the Outcome "There is no such thing as failure," Shelmina says. "There are only various degrees of success." Every stretch assignment, every meeting where you spoke up and it didn't land perfectly, every project that didn't go as planned — these are data....

You know your revenue number. You can probably recite your billing rate without thinking. But ask most law firm owners what they actually want to take home this year, and they go quiet. That gap between generating money and building wealth is exactly where most attorneys are stuck, and it has nothing to do with how hard they're working.In this episode, Gary sits down with Jessica Gonifas, CPA and founder of Silver Peaks Accounting, to explore why so many law firm owners feel financially uncertain despite strong revenue, and what it actually takes to build a firm that generates lasting personal wealth. This conversation moves beyond tax prep and bookkeeping into the strategic financial thinking that most attorneys never receive from their current advisors.Key Takeaways:Stop starting with revenue. Define your personal take-home goal first, then reverse-engineer everything else: revenue targets, staffing, pricing, and growth strategy.Understand why even monthly financial reporting still leaves most firms operating in the past, and what forward-looking financial management actually looks like in practice.Look at your staff before you look at your expenses. A 5 to 10 percent gain in team productivity is almost always a more powerful profit lever than cutting costs elsewhere.Recognize the pattern Jessica sees most often: firm owners who know their revenue number but have no clear plan connecting that revenue to personal wealth or financial independence.Know that financial stress does not stay in the office. When your firm's financial structure lacks clarity, it shows up in your confidence, your relationships, and how present you are for the people who matter most.Jessica Gonifas, CPA, is the founder of Silver Peaks Accounting, an advisory firm dedicated exclusively to law firms. Her team delivers CFO-level financial strategy, proactive tax planning, and profit optimization for practices generating $1M to $10M annually.

In this episode of What the Fundraising Podcast, Alumni relationships are shifting from tradition-bound loyalty to something more dynamic, personal, and value-driven. In this conversation, the focus turns toward what institutions are getting wrong and how listening more carefully could reshape the future of fundraising and engagement. Howard Heevner brings deep experience from a 30-year career in higher education fundraising, beginning at the University of Iowa and later serving as executive director of annual programs at UC Berkeley. He is also a co-founder of the National Alumni Survey. This large-scale initiative has grown significantly over time, expanding from tens of thousands of responses across dozens of institutions to well over 150,000 surveys. His work centers on understanding donor behavior patterns and challenging long-held assumptions about alumni generosity and awareness. The discussion highlights key shifts: declining donor participation, the emergence of distinct giving cultures across age groups, and the misconception that non-donors are simply uninformed. Instead, many already give elsewhere, signaling a need for institutions to move from assumed loyalty to earned trust. The conversation also emphasizes personalization, better use of technology for listening rather than broadcasting, and the importance of making alumni feel seen, relevant, and considered. Ultimately, it calls for a more responsive, value-aligned approach to engagement and fundraising systems. In this episode, you will be able to:  - Understand shifting trends in alumni engagement and fundraising behavior. - Recognize the importance of moving from assumed trust to earned trust. - Identify how alumni giving patterns vary across age and value systems. - Learn why personalization improves relevance and alumni connection. - Understand the need to make alumni feel seen and considered. - Identify gaps between investment in student vs alumni experiences.

spent $135,000 to spend the day with Alex Hormozi.  Here's what he taught me about the conversion process and selling chiropractic care.  If patients are not saying yes to care, the problem may not be your passion, your systems, or even your recommendations - it's your offer.  Dr. Pete and Dr. Stephen break down why so many chiropractors struggle to convert despite deeply believing in what they do. Drawing from Dr. Stephen's recent coaching experience with Alex Hormozi and the framework of the irresistible offer, this conversation unpacks the four factors that shape every conversion decision: dream outcome, perceived likelihood of achievement, time delay, and effort and sacrifice. From learning how to stop selling process and start selling transformation to creating a patient journey that feels clear, trustworthy, and achievable, this episode gives chiropractors a practical roadmap for increasing conversion, strengthening certainty, and helping more people commit to care with confidence. In This Episode You Will: Understand why conversion constraints often begin with an unclear offer.  Learn how to sell the transformation instead of the process.  Discover the four parts of an irresistible patient offer.  Clarify how trust, proof, and certainty increase patient belief.  See how a clear roadmap makes care feel easier to commit to. Episode Highlights 01:04 - Identify why the question is not whether conversion has a constraint, but where that restraint is showing up. 04:12 - Discover how an irresistible offer becomes the first lens for diagnosing a stalled conversion process. 05:55 - Clarify why patients do not buy services, systems, or procedures before they believe in the transformation. 09:36 - Recognize how selling the outcome changes the emotional weight of the entire conversion conversation. 13:10 - Explore the four-part value equation that shapes whether a patient says yes or hesitates. 18:26 - Understand why conversion becomes a skill when the dream outcome is made specific, emotional, and compelling. 23:32 - Reveal how proof, testimonials, and certainty increase a patient's belief that care can work for them. 27:05 - Examine how time delay becomes a conversion restraint when patients cannot see a faster path to results. 29:19 - Differentiate between a hard process and a supported process that makes commitment feel possible. 34:42 - Recognize how the right offer combines accountability, support, and clarity into a decision patients can trust. 36:15 - As a Success Partner, Chiro-Ads Academy brings a powerful, in-house approach to digital marketing that helps practices take control of new patient acquisition. As Dr. Eric sits down with Dr. Travis Stewart, the conversation reveals how early struggles with inconsistent agency results led to a proven system that lowers lead costs, improves conversion, and drives predictable growth through trust-based advertising and data-driven decision-making. If you are ready to create consistent, scalable growth you will want to explore how this system can transform your practice.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Chiro Ads please visit: www.makingmuvs.com/TRP Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Most UX practitioners have spent their careers fighting for the user — pushing back against dark patterns, advocating for quality, and insisting that making things better for people is also better for the business. Eric Ries would say that instinct is exactly right. And that it's not enough.In this episode, host Laura Klein talks with Eric Ries — New York Times Best Selling Author of The Lean Startup and founder of the Long Term Stock Exchange — about his new book, Incorruptible: Why Good Companies Go Bad...and How Great Companies Stay Great. Eric makes the case that most of today's business best practices are actively value-destroying, and that the builders, designers, and makers who already believe product quality matters are more revolutionary than they realize — they just lack the tools to protect that belief inside their organizations.They dig into the history of shareholder primacy, why corporate governance is something every practitioner should understand, and the very specific questions you can ask in a job interview to find out whether a company is genuinely mission-driven or just mission-hopeful.About Eric Ries | LinkedinThe Eric Ries ShowIncorruptible (New Book) - Available Now!The Lean Start Up (Book)Related NN/G Articles & VideosUX Stakeholder Engagement 101Deceptive Patterns in UX: How to Recognize and Avoid ThemFour Factors in UX MaturityUX Maturity Is a Living System, Not a LadderUXers Need to Think Like Product LeadersTry One of Our Courses→ Becoming a UX Strategist (Live Online)→ Successful Stakeholder Relationships (Live Online)→ Lean UX and Agile (Live Online)→ Demonstrating UX Value (Self-Paced)→ UX Maturity: Elevating Organizational UX Practices (Self-Paced)Don't forget to like and subscribe! ❤️Follow Us On:NewsletterInstagramThreadsLinkedinBlueskyX

In this powerful message, Pastor Travis Lilley exposes the enemy's three most common counterfeits designed to pull believers away from God's truth and purpose. From the endless pursuit of “more,” to craving validation from others, to trying to control everything ourselves, the enemy continues to use the same tactics he used against Jesus in Matthew 4. But God has called us to something greater. This sermon will help you: Recognize counterfeit fulfillment and false security Find true contentment and identity in Christ Break free from the pressure to perform for people Trust God instead of carrying the burden of control Protect the “pea patch” God has entrusted to you Through biblical truth and practical application, you'll discover how to stand firm against the enemy's lies and live confidently in the Kingdom of God.

Welcome to a pivotal solo episode of Build a Better Agency! This week, host Speaker B takes listeners on an honest and insightful journey through the real work of agency leadership, exploring the mental and emotional shifts required to move from talented employee or manager to confident agency owner. Drawing on more than 25 years of experience and candid stories from agency owners nationwide, Speaker B unpacks the identity shift every leader must make—from seeking permission and sticking to their craft, to taking full, radical responsibility for the outcome of their business. You'll hear powerful confessions from new owners as they share those "aha" moments when the weight of ownership finally hit home, from financial scares to difficult personnel decisions. This episode tackles three essential lenses that shape the growth of agency leaders: developing a growth mindset (inspired by Carol Dweck), evolving from technician to true entrepreneur (with a nod to Michael Gerber's E-Myth), and embracing an ownership mentality as described by Carrie Siggins' "Ownership Mindset." Speaker B provides actionable advice on shifting beliefs that hold leaders back, such as hesitancy around finances, reluctance to delegate, and resistance to uncomfortable decisions. Whether you're a new or soon-to-be owner, an emerging leader, or a veteran still wrestling with self-doubt, this episode is packed with practical steps, introspective challenges, and resources to help you own your power and build an agency you're truly proud of.

Romans 7:18-19 highlights the inner struggle every believer faces between sinful desires and the desire to honor God. In this devotional, Aaron D’Anthony Brown challenges Christians to honestly evaluate whether they may be sabotaging their own spiritual growth, relationships, or progress in life. Rather than always blaming circumstances or other people, believers are encouraged to practice self-awareness, humility, and accountability as they confront patterns of unhealthy thinking and behavior. This devotional reminds readers that spiritual maturity begins with honest reflection and repentance. The Apostle Paul openly acknowledged his battle with sin, showing believers the importance of recognizing personal weaknesses instead of excusing them. Through humility, accountability, and dependence on God, Christians can stop getting in their own way and begin pursuing the righteous life God calls them to live. Highlights Romans 7 reveals the ongoing battle between flesh and spirit. Self-awareness is the first step toward personal and spiritual growth. Pride can prevent believers from recognizing harmful behaviors. Accountability helps sharpen and strengthen Christian character. Excusing sinful habits leads to self-sabotage and spiritual stagnation. Humility allows believers to receive correction and grow in wisdom. God calls Christians to actively confront and reject sinful patterns. Do you want to listen ad-free?

For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do.” (Romans 7:18-19, CSB) There’s a certain question we should ask ourselves every now and again: Am I getting in my own way? When we don’t get the outcomes we want in life, blaming our circumstances and other people comes naturally enough. What doesn’t happen as frequently as it should is looking at the man in the mirror. Recently, I remember talking to a fellow young man about our desire for marriage. Well, we went out to lunch with women from our church. Something we both wanted. For one reason or another, this getting-to-know-you experience led him to talk about an extremely embarrassing incident. Now, who in their right mind would share that on a first date? Or take, for instance, a buddy of mine who is encountering deep financial strain. The more anyone tries to encourage him, the more he pushes back with a 'woe-is-me' attitude. He seems to want more negativity to fuel what he already exhibits. These guys are not alone. I’ve battled with my own negative thinking and dwelling. Perhaps you, too, are sabotaging your own success. So, ask yourself, “Am I getting in my own way?” Intersecting Faith & Life: After you ask yourself this important question, the answer should be yes. If not, the following steps are especially for you. Build self-awareness. The reason Paul was able to write those particular verses in Romans is that he developed some measure of self-awareness. He may not have completely understood why he behaved the way he did, aside from citing his sinful nature, but he understood something was wrong and wrote about it. He acknowledged the problem, and acknowledgment is the first step to finding a solution. If you want to build self-awareness in your own life, spend some time pausing and reflecting. Yes, this does mean sitting with your thoughts and not your phone. Question yourself about why you do certain things and not others. The better you know yourself, the more you’ll be able to identify your strengths and weaknesses. Develop humility. Humility is underrated and uncommon. So many of us think we have it, yet fail to recognize just how prideful we are. A good way to measure this virtue is to observe how you handle people who disagree with you. Not just the non-believers, but those people you perceive as less (or more) Christian than you. Have they ever proven you wrong about something? When did that last happen? Is it good that you haven’t been wrong since? Have people around you to call you out. Having agreement is nice, but if iron is to sharpen iron, then disagreement is essential. Encouraging one another is nice, but we can do so at the expense of others. Instead of seeking to appease those around us, let’s hold each other accountable and do our best to help others reflect Christ. If you know you’re a sinner, act like it. Some of us will openly call ourselves sinners in the abstract on any given Sunday, but on other days of the week, we justify our sinful behavior. People know that they practice poor communication, but don’t change it. Overeat but don’t change it. Say that they’re lazy, but don’t change it. Does God take sin seriously? If you say yes, don’t say, "He made you that way." Recognize that He hates sin, and try your best to hate it as well. Hate the self-sabotage and do something righteous instead.

May 24th | Freedom | Galatians 4:28-5:1In this message from Galatians 4:28–5:1, Pastor Matt Darby unpacks one of the central themes of the Gospel: freedom in Christ. Through Paul's powerful words to the Galatian church, we are reminded that Jesus didn't save us so we could live bound by fear, shame, performance, or religion—He set us free.This sermon explores the contrast between slavery and sonship, effort and promise, religion and grace. Using the story of Sarah and Hagar, Pastor Matt shows how many believers still struggle with a “slave mentality,” trying to earn what God has already given through Jesus.You'll be encouraged to:• Know your identity as a child of promise• Recognize the conflict that comes with following Christ• Reject performance-based Christianity• Stand firm in the freedom Jesus purchased for youFreedom is not something you achieve—it's something Christ has already secured. The question is: will you live in it?Do you know JESUS? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/do-you-know-jesus⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Need PRAYER? ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbgilmer.org/pray⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Support through GIVING: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.nbbctx.org/giving⁠

Most people learn how to love the hard way. What if you didn't have to? Faith Jenkins is a TV judge who has presided over more divorce cases than most people will ever witness in a lifetime. She has also been through roughly 10 serious relationships of her own, waited until 42 to marry, and did both pre-engagement and premarital counseling before saying yes. She knows this terrain from every angle. What she learned will shift the way you think about every relationship you are in or hoping to find. The true measure of someone is not who they are when things are going great. It is who they are under pressure. Pain is inevitable, she says. Suffering is optional. You cannot be cynical about love and expect to attract it at the same time. That single idea might change everything. Somewhere between the heartbreak and the closed doors is the version of you who is finally ready, and that is the person your partner actually gets to meet. Faith married the right person six months after writing down that she would. She did not fight the breakup that made space for him. She radically accepted it, let it go, and stepped into the biggest open door of her life.

In this episode, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dive into the three levels of business coaches, the science of motivation, and practical strategies for finding and retaining high-paying coaching clients. They discuss the real reasons coaches struggle, the importance of installing systems over simply "winging it," and how mastering your internal motivation can transform your client acquisition and business success. Plus, they get tactical with actionable advice for "hiders" and explore the psychology behind powerful client offers and selling to men and women. Key Topics Covered The Three Levels of Coaches Hiders: Coaches who hide behind screens, endlessly planning and procrastinating, but never taking real-world action. Wingers: Those who "wing it" without systems—sometimes getting by, but unable to build lasting client relationships. Installers: The elite who follow and install proven, repeatable systems that drive consistent results and long-term client retention. Motivation: Internal vs. External The seven levels of motivation, from survival and incentives (external), up to achievement, growth, mission, and ultimate freedom (internal). Why shame and external forces kickstart change but rarely sustain it. The "paradox of choice" and how fewer options help clients (and coaches) stay focused and move forward. Getting Clients and Retaining Them Simple math for building a six- and seven-figure practice by focusing on high-value clients. Why focusing on "hungry" clients trumps industry or demographics. Stories from the Conversion Event: Alan (networking "just for fun" at 77), Bill (cold calling with near-100% engagement), and Ken (installing a $20M system for small business). Overcoming Procrastination and Fear Frame-shifting: Making calls and outreach feel fun, not painful. Three steps to escaping paralysis: Identify your inaction, set one goal with three micro-steps, and stop unhelpful behaviors. How fear, faith, and leadership intersect to drive meaningful, legacy-level impact. Selling to Men vs. Women Understanding masculine vs. feminine drivers: Status vs. connection, respect vs. adoration. How to subtly tailor communication, emails, and offers to these underlying motivators for greater impact. Notable Quotes "You don't need more motivation. You need less options." "Needing nothing attracts everything. And he oozes that energy." "Getting clients is easy. Getting clients is fun. Say that to yourself a hundred times every single day." "You'll be remembered for what you refuse to give up on." "The more seriously you take yourself, the less happy you're going to be." Actionable Takeaways Move from "Hider" to "Installer": Stop planning and start taking imperfect, real-world action. Serve Before You Sell: Focus on helping others first; authority and referrals follow value, not pitches. Simplify for Clients: Take away options and focus attention on the top three things that matter for results. Create Small Wins: Start with one call, one networking event, one paragraph—progress, however small, creates momentum. Redefine Motivation: Regularly ask what's truly driving you, and intentionally level up your reasons. Reframe Client Outreach: Make it about helping, not "selling." Daily consistency trumps intensity. Tailor Your Approach: Speak to identity and internal motivators. Recognize the differences between masculine/feminine drivers. Adopt Installer Mindset: Use proven frameworks and don't wing client delivery or lead generation.

Your practice is stuck because you don't have enough Qualified Leads to take you to the next level.  In this episode, Dr. Stephen and Dr. Pete unpack the first and often most common bottleneck in practice growth: the inability to consistently attract the right people with the right message at the right time. Through the lens of the Theory of Constraints, they reveal why marketing struggles are rarely solved by simply “doing more marketing” and instead require deeper clarity around purpose, messaging, ideal patient profiles, and measurable systems. From refining the market message that cuts through the noise to understanding Marketing Spend, CAC (Cost to Acquire a Customer) and “Buyer Readiness”, this episode provides a strategic framework for chiropractors who want to stop spraying and praying and start building predictable attraction systems that scale influence, income, and patient impact. In This Episode You Will: Understand why attraction constraints are often the hidden bottleneck in practice growth. Discover how purpose, mission, and vision shape effective marketing systems.  Learn how to create messaging that cuts through marketplace noise and increases readiness.  Clarify the difference between random marketing activity and measurable lead generation.  See how metrics like CAC and LTV create confidence, scale, and strategic decision-making.   Episode Highlights 01:44 - Identify how one primary constraint can quietly suppress growth across an otherwise healthy practice. 03:54 - Discover why true transformation begins when education unlocks awareness rather than simply delivering information. 05:28 - Recognize how unresolved attraction constraints keep practices stuck even when effort and intention remain high. 08:16 - Explore why great coaching often reveals hidden solutions that were already within reach. 11:12 - Clarify why the problem behind the problem must be solved before marketing tactics can produce meaningful growth. 14:23 - Uncover how defining an ideal client profile changes the precision and effectiveness of attraction strategies. 16:36 - Examine the three-part messaging equation required to cut through marketplace noise and create urgency. 18:06 - Reveal how trust-building systems increase patient readiness long before a conversion conversation begins. 20:38 - Differentiate between inconsistent marketing activity and the disciplined repetition required to create momentum. 27:31 - Understand why data-driven marketing eliminates stress and creates confidence in scaling patient acquisition. 28:43 - Dr. Rachel is joined by Dr. Kendall Price of Success Partner Elevate Marketing to unpack what it really takes to turn marketing into a true growth system for modern practices. They explore how Elevate moves beyond generic campaigns by blending brand identity with proven strategies, building trust through every step of the patient journey, and optimizing for real outcomes like patient show rates, not just leads. When marketing becomes intentional, relational, and data-driven, growth shifts from unpredictable to scalable and sustainable.   Resources Mentioned To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Elevate Marketing please visit: https://goelevatemarketing.com/ Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

Spy networks don't just appear; they are meticulously built using vulnerabilities in human behavior and physical security. This episode breaks down the "Red Flags" of the intelligence lifecycle—from the initial "spotting" and "assessment" phases to the subtle signs of a network under stress. Whether you're in corporate security or just want to sharpen your environmental baseline, we teach you how to see the invisible threads of a surveillance or recruitment operation before it reaches its breaking point.

What happens when your marketing stops working, but nothing about your business has actually changed? For Tayler Cusick Hollman, founder of Enji, that moment showed up when things started to slow down. After steady growth, the numbers just weren't hitting the same way they used to. Fewer people were starting trials, results required more effort, and the small tweaks that used to make a difference weren't working anymore. In this episode, we take you behind the scenes of what it looks like to navigate that moment in real time. Tayler walks through how she and her team realized this was not just a messaging issue or something that could be solved with another round of testing. Instead, it pointed to something deeper: people were not fully understanding what Enji was or why they needed it. We break down the difference between tweaking and pivoting, and how to recognize when your business needs more than small adjustments. From identifying early warning signs in your data to rethinking your customer persona and redefining your positioning, this conversation highlights what it actually takes to make a meaningful shift instead of staying stuck in optimization mode. This episode also explores the role of ego in keeping business owners stuck longer than they need to be. Tayler shares how easy it is to keep refining something that feels close instead of stepping back and admitting that a bigger change is required. We talk through what it looks like to approach your business with more honesty, how to experiment in a way that gives you clarity, and why a pivot is not a sign of failure, but often the reason a business continues to grow.     In this episode, you'll learn: How to recognize when tweaking your marketing is no longer enough The difference between a marketing problem and a positioning problem What early signs show that something deeper needs to change Why clarity in your messaging impacts every part of your business How redefining your customer persona can unlock growth The role ego plays in keeping business owners stuck Why pivoting is often the key to continued momentum     Links Mentioned Enji Enji Instagram Plannable     Ready to build a brand that actually works for you?

Welcome to the Season 9 (2025-2026) Finale of Surviving Your Journey Towards Success (SYJTS) with your host, Nichel Anderson!

Does everything feel a little chaotic kinda like it feels around the holidays? That's because it's Maycember!  It's that time of year when there is a lot to do and no days off to do it!  I've got some hacks to productively get through it! Why does it happen? Here we just thought we were heading into summer. Nope, first, you gotta get your lawn in order. And you probably notice you are back to mowing the lawn more frequently. Oh the joys of home ownership! Did you document all the things last year you did during Maycember? Like how much mulch you needed and other supplies to get your house summer ready?  Don't forget all of the graduations, weddings, and end of the school year events there are. As the school year wraps up and the weather changes to warm summer days there are more things than ever vying for your attention. The biggest difference is, no days off for the holidays but we're trying to get just as much stuff accomplished as we do during the holidays. 7 Hacks to Combat Maycember Ok, so now you know we call this Maycember. What can you do about it?  Recognize the phenomenon and do not add anything to May.  Use all the pent up spring energy. Get out of the house, say hi to your neighbors, see people again!  Also if you are feeling the nudge to organize, do it, use that spring energy Be choosy on what you commit to and defer the rest. Just like planned neglect, some things will take care of themselves and others can be taken care of in July. Plan what you are comfortable neglecting for a period of time. Use a new rule or change a habit like using paper plates, utilizing a laundry service, or deciding on the 5 meals you will rotate all month, so you can spend more time outside. Plan, use the tools you already have from Organize 365®.  Make a weekly plan with your weekly tear sheets that you do at the end of your Sunday Basket® time. Use those slash pockets in your Sunday Basket®. Maybe you have one for teacher gifts, fieldtrips, destinations for summer, and probably more! AND if you are having that organizing energy decide what lessons you'll attack and when on the weekly planner. You have the Binders? Document. Your future self will thank you next Maycember. Write down all the annual house related maintenance you do each year in your Home Reference Binder. That way next year, you'll know when to order the mulch and how much.  Pack your car closet. You know, where you have a few snacks, change of clothes because you never know where the spontaneous summer energy will take you, and a back up battery to charge your phone is a great idea too. Nothing is worse than rushing between events and realizing your phone is about to die and you have no way to charge it. We can control some stressors.  Block off time to organize. When our homes are a mess it creates mental stress. When you look ahead on your calendar, if you see a block of time, mark it off. This time is for you to reset the house. Get your laundry done, really go through your Sunday Basket® & plan (you need time to plan to think things through), clean a little, or organize a space. I tend to focus on paper during the summer.  And speaking of The Paper Solution and the binders, I have a webinar in the app coming up. It will be on May 29th @ 1:30 EST and I will show you how I go through and update my Home Reference Binder.

A strange natural phenomenon sends Jase down a rabbit hole that leads him, Al, and Zach into a deep discussion about truth, love, obedience, and the meaning behind God's commands. Jase revisits an old Bible insight that reframes the Ten Commandments, and the guys connect the teachings of Jesus to creation, the golden calf, modern idols, and the struggle people have with uncomfortable truth, arguing that God's commands were never meant to be empty rules but a path to life.

Have you ever felt like certain people or experiences were destined to enter your life? In this episode of Dear Guides, Gabby Bernstein is joined by psychic medium Rebecca Rosen to explore the deeper meaning behind soul contracts, the pre-birth agreements your soul made to guide your growth, relationships, and life experiences. Together, they channel intuitive guidance on why certain patterns, people, and challenges keep showing up, how karma and déjà vu are tied to your soul's blueprint, and what it really means to shift from a victim mindset into empowered spiritual alignment. Through candid conversation and a transformative guided meditation, this episode helps you reconnect with your higher self, understand your current soul assignments, and move forward with greater clarity, purpose, and trust in your path.

Anita Moorjani did everything right. She ate organic, avoided sugar, studied cancer prevention obsessively. She still got lymphoma. That contradiction is the entire point. Growing up as an Indian woman in Hong Kong, caught between British culture and a community that valued sons over daughters, Anita learned one thing above all else: make yourself small and keep everyone happy. That lesson followed her for 40 years, through a canceled arranged marriage, a cancer diagnosis, and a four-year deterioration that ended with her in a coma, 85 pounds, and organs failing. Then she left her body. In that expanded state, she saw clearly for the first time: it wasn't the cancer that had been killing her. It was the fear. When she came back, every trace of cancer was gone within three weeks. Doctors flew in from the US just to study her case. None of them could explain it. What Anita brought back is a message she's been sharing for 20 years: you don't need to earn your place in the world, you already are what you've been spending your life trying to become. Anita's books: Dying to Be Me Sensitive Is the New Strong: The Power of Empaths in an Increasingly Harsh World What If This Is Heaven?: How Our Cultural Myths Prevent Us from Experiencing Heaven on Earth Anita's Sedona Healing Retreat Anita's Website Anita's Facebook Anita's Instagram In this episode you will: Understand why living in constant fear can manifest as serious physical illness - and how shifting from fear-based choices to love-based ones changes everything Discover what Anita experienced during her 30-hour coma, including what she saw, heard, and understood outside her physical body Learn the mirror exercise that helped Anita rebuild self-worth from scratch after coming back from the edge of death Recognize how people-pleasing and self-repression show up in the body, and why your authentic self will keep demanding to be heard Apply Anita's framework for replacing fear of what you don't want with a focused attention on what you actually want to create For more information go to https://lewishowes.com/1924 For more Greatness text PODCAST to +1 (614) 350-3960 Follow The Daily Motivation for essential highlights from The School of Greatness More SOG episodes we think you'll love: Lewis Howes Solo [STOP Letting People Walk All Over You] Muniba Mazari Dr Joe Dispenza Get more from Lewis!
