Fundraising and alumni relations are evolving faster than many institutions are prepared for. But the concept of hiring people who make us feel comfortable remains the biggest threat to innovation since these practices often remain rooted in familiarity, rigidity, and outdated ideas of “fit.”  A.P. Porch is a higher education and philanthropy professional with nearly 15 years of experience in nonprofit and advancement spaces, currently serving as the University-Wide Director of Alumni Engagement at Loyola University, New Orleans. Her work centers on strengthening alumni and donor relationships while supporting the “life of the mind” through mission-driven engagement, leadership, and community building. She joined Mallory to talk about what it takes to build stronger, more sustainable advancement teams in the fundraising sector.  In this episode, you will be able to: Recognize the hidden challenges behind skill-based hiring in fundraising and alumni relations. Have a clear understanding about the difference between hiring for competency versus hiring for familiarity. Learn why burnout and turnover are often symptoms of deeper organizational issues. Discover how curiosity, adaptability, and emotional intelligence can strengthen donor relationships. Learn how “culture fit” can unintentionally limit innovation and diversity of thought.

One of the questions many grieving parents ask after the death of a child is whether they will know and recognize their child in heaven.

Through several biblical accounts, Laura shares hope and encouragement for pareavors longing for reassurance about their child's future and their own. If you have ever wondered whether the bond between parent and child continues beyond this life, this episode offers a comforting, faith-filled perspective grounded in God's Word.

“Speak your truth” sounds like the most honest thing you can do. But it's not. Your truth is your perspective. It is what is real within your current awareness. And when you hold it like a fact, like the final word on what happened or who your partner is, there is nowhere left for the conversation to go.I heard a quote about ten years ago that I have never forgotten. Honesty changes with one's awareness. The truth is always the same. That is the distinction. In this episode:* Understand why speaking your truth can actually shut a conversation down before it has a chance to go anywhere* Recognize the three ways it quietly breaks relational communication without you realizing it* Learn Terry Real's feedback wheel, a four-step tool for sharing what you feel and what you need without putting your partner on the defenseYour partner cannot meet you in a conversation you have already closed.If this one landed and you want support bringing this into your relationship, I work with couples on exactly this.

To the untrained eye, ego can be mistaken for confidence. In reality, the person doesn't feel that way inside at all.

In this episode, Alex Pardo sits down with his longtime co-host and student Dan Wenzel for a season two wind-down conversation centered on the one thing no underwriting spreadsheet can measure: mindset. After 37 episodes of documenting Dan's journey into self storage investing, Alex and Dan pull back the curtain on the real growth that's happened, from near-paralysis on cold calls to confident conversations with storage owners across the country. This episode is a raw and honest look at how confidence is built through repetition, collaboration, and showing up even when you don't feel ready. If you've ever let fear, self-doubt, or the need for a perfect outcome keep you from taking action in your storage investing journey, this one is for you. You'll Learn How To: Build real confidence through consistent reps rather than waiting for a result to validate you Stop letting fear of rejection keep you from picking up the phone and calling storage owners Understand why collaboration with other investors accelerates growth faster than solo study Develop a "be, do, have" identity framework before the results show up Reframe a fumbled call or missed deal as a rep, not a failure Leverage broker relationships over time to sharpen your underwriting instincts Recognize the internal signals (nervousness, butterflies) that tell you to lean in, not back off What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:56] Alex opens the episode with the real obstacle holding most investors back from their first storage facility [1:20] Why mindset, confidence, and identity are the through-line of the entire season two journey [2:34] Alex breaks down the "be, do, have" framework and why most people have it backwards [3:26] Dan reflects on his biggest growth from episode one to episode 37 [4:32] How underwriting reps with other Storage Winners built Dan's confidence from the inside out [5:36] Was there a single light-bulb moment or was confidence an evolution? Dan answers directly [6:08] How an open broker relationship gave Dan a live benchmark to validate his own offers [7:24] Alex shares his ten-year podcasting anniversary and what a decade of reps actually produces [9:14] Why collaboration and a mastermind mentality separate investors who grow from those who stagnate [10:03] What no book or YouTube video can teach you: reading the human being behind the storage facility [13:48] What Dan can confidently do today that would have paralyzed him a year ago [16:34] Alex's personal story about a big opportunity that gave him butterflies, and what his wife said that snapped him back [18:17] Why not closing a deal by the end of the season doesn't define success or identity [20:11] Alex's closing challenge and how to connect with him for your first storage discovery call Who This Episode Is For: Investors who keep learning but haven't made their first offer yet People who freeze up at the idea of cold-calling storage owners Anyone tying their self-worth to whether a deal closes New and mid-stage storage investors who feel like they're "just going through the motions" Entrepreneurs who understand the technical side but struggle with the mental side Anyone who has consumed a lot of content and needs a push to take action instead Why You Should Listen: Season two of Storage Wins was supposed to be about buying a storage facility. And while that goal is still within reach, this episode makes the case that the most important thing Dan built over 37 episodes wasn't a portfolio. It was a version of himself capable of building one. Alex and Dan don't sugarcoat it. Confidence isn't something you feel before you start. It's something you earn through repetitions, through calls that go awkward, through underwriting deals alongside people who are a few steps ahead of you, and through showing up to record a podcast even on the weeks when the journey felt heavy. The "be, do, have" framework Alex references early in the episode is the spine of this conversation: you have to become the person first. The results follow. What makes this episode worth your time, whether you're brand new or already a few facilities in, is the reminder that growth is non-linear and often invisible until you look back. Dan couldn't have articulated his own evolution in episode one. But 37 episodes later, he can talk to any storage owner like the back of his hand. That's not luck. That's what happens when you put the reps in and refuse to quit.

In this episode, Neil challenges the mainstream narrative that the ultimate reward for hard work is escaping on a vacation. Reflecting on a recent trip to Japan and China, Neil explains why stepping completely away from his daily routines often causes him more stress than relaxation. He introduces the concept of the N1 Study, the idea that your life is a unique, ongoing experiment in human happiness where you are the sole participant.  KEY TAKEAWAYS Redesign your reality: Build a daily life and business structure that is so enjoyable you don't constantly feel the need to escape from it. Shift your focus: Recognize the energizing difference between working on your business versus grinding in your business. Embrace the N1 Study: Treat your life as a personalized experiment where the primary metric for success is discovering what brings you happiness. Capture fleeting inspiration: Always keep a notebook or travel journal handy to record ideas the moment they strike. Prioritize personal fulfillment: Stop distorting your goals and schedules to meet the traditional expectations of others; ensure that you are pleasing at least yourself. QUOTES "If the best thing you can think of is taking a couple of weeks off from your life in the everyday sense, then you've built your life back to front." "You should plan and construct your everyday life in such a way that you're having so much fun, you don't want to take time off." "Ideas are shy and skittish. So when you have one, welcome it, make space for it and write it down before it runs away giggling to itself." "Your own life is an ongoing study with a single participant. We'll call this an N1 study." "Please at least yourself. Don't distort yourself to please another person."

In this solo episode, host Alex Pardo gives a candid update on Dan's journey to buy his first self-storage facility — a deal that had strong market demographics, favorable bank financing, and real value-add upside, until one buried spreadsheet assumption changed everything. This episode is a real-world lesson in self-storage underwriting, revenue ramp-up timelines, and what it actually costs to miss a detail in your deal filter. If you're working toward your first storage deal and want to understand how to stress-test your numbers before it's too late, this episode will save you from making the same costly mistake Dan made.   You'll Learn How To: Understand why storage revenue doesn't move like a light switch after acquisition Identify the ramp-up period tab in your deal filter and how to use it correctly Calculate how many net move-ins per month is realistic for your market Stress-test your debt service coverage ratio before presenting a deal to a bank Negotiate from a shoulder-to-shoulder position with sellers when deals need restructuring Recognize when a deal that looks good on paper is missing a critical timeline assumption Surround yourself with a community that can catch what your spreadsheet can't   What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] Dan's deal looked solid until one buried assumption flipped everything [0:32] Alex introduces Season 2 and Dan's journey from unemployed to first-time storage buyer [1:09] Why Dan wasn't excited when he finally got under contract — and what that reveals [1:45] Why celebrating each step matters even when you've been burned before [2:06] The market fundamentals Dan liked: demographics, income, population growth [2:31] The bank terms that made the deal attractive — 5.29% fixed for 5 years or 5.99% for 10 [3:05] A cautionary tale: a well-known investor who lost $15 million when rates adjusted on a $70M multifamily deal [4:13] Why Alex jumped on an impromptu Zoom to review Dan's underwriting spreadsheet [4:33] How Storage Wins community member Casey McKillop saved $100,000 on his first offer [6:02] The specific tab Dan wasn't reading correctly — net move-ins and the ramp-up period [7:07] The real issue: Dan assumed revenue would jump from $170K to $210K overnight [7:51] It would take Dan 10 months to reach profitability — and he wasn't prepared to fund it [8:09] The bank pulled out after reviewing the deal more closely [8:59] How to explain debt service coverage ratio (DSCR) to sellers and why 1.25–1.3 matters [10:14] The lesson: growth comes from adversity, and Dan won't make this mistake again   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors preparing to make their first offer Investors who have been under contract before and had deals fall through Anyone underwriting a value-add storage deal and projecting a quick revenue bump Buyers who haven't stress-tested their debt service coverage ratio Entrepreneurs who know the numbers but need a second set of eyes on their assumptions Storage investors trying to understand how ramp-up timelines affect deal viability   Why You Should Listen: Dan's deal had everything going for it on the surface — strong demographics, committed bank financing, and a clear path to raising rents. But one overlooked tab in the deal filter spreadsheet showed that revenue wouldn't jump overnight. It would take ten months to reach profitability, and Dan hadn't budgeted for that gap. That single assumption blew up the DSCR, the bank walked, and a deal that looked ready to close came apart fast. This episode isn't about what went wrong. It's about what you can learn before it happens to you. Alex walks through the exact mistake — projecting revenue as a light switch rather than a ramp — and explains why having a community to stress-test your deal before you go under contract is worth more than almost anything else in this business. The most expensive education is experience. But it doesn't have to be yours. Dan learned this lesson so you don't have to.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Storage Wins Website: https://www.storagewins.com Book a Discovery Call: https://www.storagewins.com/call Storage Wins Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/storagewins Instagram: @alexpardo25 YouTube: Storage Wins   If this episode hit home, share it with someone who's currently underwriting a self-storage deal or about to make their first offer.

Thanks to our Partners, Pico Technology, and AutelWatch Full Video EpisodeIn this episode, Matt Fanslow continues the conversation around game theory and economics in the automotive repair industry, focusing on one of the biggest invisible forces affecting customer trust: information asymmetry.Auto repair is a credence good service, meaning most customers cannot fully judge the quality of the work before, during, or even after the repair. A grinding brake noise may disappear after a $200 backyard brake job or a $500 professional repair, but the customer may not be able to tell whether the work was safe, complete, or performed to a professional standard. That gap between what the shop knows and what the customer can reasonably know creates distrust by default.Matt connects this to economist George Akerlof's “Market for Lemons,” originally applied to the used-car market, and explains how the same logic applies directly to auto repair. When customers cannot reliably distinguish quality from poor work, lower-quality providers can drag down trust in the entire market.The episode then turns toward solutions: better documentation, digital vehicle inspections, before-and-after photos or videos, service information references, and clearer explanations that help narrow the information gap without trying to turn every customer into a technician. The goal is not to overwhelm customers with technical data. The goal is to give them enough context to understand what was found, why it matters, and why the repair has value.Matt also discusses how YouTube, forums, and large language models can complicate trust by giving customers information that may be incomplete, misunderstood, or flat-out wrong. Shops now have to compete not just with other shops, but with customer fear, confirmation bias, and online explanations that may reinforce distrust.Key TopicsInformation asymmetry in automotive repairAuto repair as a credence good serviceWhy customers often distrust repair recommendationsGeorge Akerlof and “The Market for Lemons”How poor-quality providers affect trust in good shopsThe role of digital vehicle inspectionsBefore-and-after documentation as trust-buildingUsing service information to demonstrate valueThe impact of YouTube, forums, and AI tools on customer expectationsWhy economic and game theory language matters in shop managementEpisode HighlightsMatt explains that customers often cannot tell the difference between a good repair and a poor repair if the obvious symptom goes away. That makes trust harder to earn and easier to lose.He uses the brake job example to show how two repairs can appear identical to a customer even when one is much safer, more complete, and more professional than the other.The “Market for Lemons” idea is used to explain how low-quality or deceptive providers can create distrust that affects the entire profession.The episode stresses that documentation is not just paperwork. Photos, videos, voltage readings, service information, and before-and-after evidence are part of how shops demonstrate value.Matt argues that shops need to use economic and game theory terms because many of the answers to shop problems already exist in those fields. Without the right language, it becomes harder to find or explain the solution.Notable Quote“We're insulating ourselves from a market for lemons.”Practical Takeaways for ShopsUse digital vehicle inspections to show customers what is good, what is bad, and why it matters.Do not assume the customer understands the significance of a test result. Explain the before and after in plain terms.Show comparisons when possible: good versus bad, before versus after, failed versus repaired.Reference manufacturer service information when it helps explain why the job requires certain steps.Recognize that customers may arrive with fear, skepticism, or bad information before you ever speak to them.Trust is not built only by being honest. It is built by making honest work visible and understandable.Thanks to our Partner, Pico TechnologyAre you chasing elusive automotive problems?

Today, we're diving into a heartfelt conversation with Athena Dean Holtz, an inspiring leader with over 40 years of experience in ministry and publishing. Our discussion revolves around her latest book, "No Longer Hidden: You Can't Resist What You Don't Recognize," which sheds light on the unseen tactics of the enemy that often lead to division and strife in our lives and communities. Athena shares her journey of overcoming adversity and the prayer that transformed her understanding of her heart, challenging us to seek God's perspective. We explore the shifting landscape of Christian publishing, the challenges authors face today, and how leaders can discern spiritual battles in their own lives. Join us as we unravel the complexities of faith, leadership, and the importance of recognizing the truth in our hearts.Takeaways:The shift in Christian publishing emphasizes the author's responsibility for marketing, impacting those without large platforms.Athena highlights how spiritual warfare manifests in everyday church dynamics, often creating unnecessary divisions among members.Leaders need to be honest about their struggles to foster a supportive environment and combat spiritual weariness.Recognizing and addressing unprocessed grief is crucial for effective leadership and maintaining healthy communication.Understanding the enemy's tactics, such as stirring discontent, is vital for leaders to effectively guide their congregations.Athena's personal experiences underscore the importance of forgiveness and discernment in overcoming past traumas and spiritual battles.Links referenced in this episode:athenaholtsspeaks.com

The #1 illness of our time has nothing to do with your body. Dr. Lisa Miller, Columbia University researcher and author of The Spiritual Child, has spent over a decade scanning human brains to understand how we're built for God's presence. What those MRIs reveal is both startling and deeply hopeful. You were not built for scarcity or isolation. Three specific circuits in every human brain light up when you connect to something greater than yourself, a bonding network, an attention network, and a parietal network, each wired to receive love, guidance, and the awareness that you are never alone. The awakened brain is one-third innate, two-thirds cultivated. Which means you can build it. The research on teens will stop you cold. A strong shared spiritual life is 82% protective against completed suicide, which has now surpassed auto accidents as the leading cause of teen death. 80% protective against the onset of addiction. This is not philosophy. These are numbers from global studies of 270,000 children. The path to your best life might not require more effort. It might require a different kind of listening.

In this episode, Alex Pardo continues the raw, unfiltered coaching series with Storage Wins community member Dan, who is now under contract on a 28,000 square foot self-storage facility priced at $2.625 million. After the previous conversation surfaced a critical gap in Dan's deal analysis — specifically that revenue doesn't jump to projected levels overnight but ramps slowly over months — this episode picks up with Dan processing some mixed emotions and working through the real question every first-time storage investor eventually has to answer: is the juice worth the squeeze? Alex walks Dan through how to evaluate that question honestly, without just telling him what to do. They talk about what qualifies as a base hit versus a home run on a first deal, how to look at the deal through the conservative, likely, and best-case lenses without letting optimism drive the offer, and what it actually means to responsibly bring equity partners into a deal you still believe in. It's one of the most practical, unscripted conversations the show has aired — and if you're at a similar inflection point in your own storage journey, this one was made for you. You'll Learn How To: Determine whether a deal is a true base hit or just a deal you're forcing because you're hungry to close Evaluate a storage deal through conservative, likely, and best-case revenue scenarios without getting burned by optimism Understand why revenue ramp-up is a slow burn — not a light switch — and how to model it correctly Structure equity partner terms that are competitive with what active investors in the storage space are actually looking for Weigh the real value of getting into your first deal even when the returns aren't exceptional Recognize the orange flags in a deal's financing structure before they become red flags at closing Build the confidence and clarity needed to pull the trigger — or walk away — with a clear, defensible reason   What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:00] Alex previews the series and what Dan missed in the prior deal analysis — the revenue ramp-up problem [0:47] The 28,000 sq ft deal under contract: $2.625M purchase price and the cash flow math that surfaced some hard questions [2:32] Dan shares his mixed emotions after the last call — and Alex explains why they're recording it anyway [3:18] Dan's framing: the value of getting into a first deal, even knowing he'll give up 40% equity and an 8% preferred return [4:33] What Scott Speer and other coaches told Dan about what investors are actually looking for right now [5:31] Running the numbers: 9–11% cash on cash return over five years and a 17–18% annualized return — and why it's still short of the 12–15% benchmark [6:27] Alex's philosophy on first deals: it doesn't have to be a home run, but it does have to be a base hit with low risk [8:25] What Alex learned from his own early deals — buying in markets he wouldn't touch today — and the lesson about operations vs. market fundamentals [9:35] How to think about the juice-worth-the-squeeze question based on your season of life, your goals, and your risk profile [10:42] Why hunger to close a deal is not enough justification — and what separates discipline from paralysis [11:17] Dan makes the case for the facility: competitors with much higher rates and occupancy above 90% suggest meaningful room to push rates [13:12] Running the likely scenario vs. conservative: how higher confidence in the market changes the deal math [15:17] The revenue light-switch analogy — and why missing this detail is one of the most common first-deal mistakes [16:52] Potential paths forward: renegotiating terms with the seller, adjusting interest rate assumptions, or restructuring the equity split [19:19] Alex's reminder: always determine your exit before you enter — and what that means for this deal specifically [19:42] Alex wraps the series so far and challenges listeners following Dan's journey to keep showing up with the same persistence   Who This Episode Is For: First-time storage investors who are under contract or close to it and second-guessing the numbers Investors who know they want to do a deal but aren't sure where to draw the line on acceptable returns Anyone who has ever confused being hungry to close with being ready to close Students of the Storage Wins community looking for a real-time, unscripted deal review Operators who want to understand how to model revenue ramp-up correctly before making an offer Investors considering bringing on equity partners and not sure what terms are realistic right now   Why You Should Listen: Most podcasts show you what winning looks like. This episode shows you what the messy middle looks like — the moment after you've done all the right things, run your analysis, gotten the deal under contract, and then discovered there was one number you weren't modeling correctly. That's not a failure. That's the job. And how you respond to that moment is what separates investors who close deals from investors who talk about deals. Alex doesn't hand Dan the answer here. He helps him build the framework to find it himself. What's the conservative case? What's the likely case? What does the market data actually support? What would a responsible equity partner need to see? Those questions matter a lot more than any single deal outcome — because the investor who can answer them clearly will keep finding deals long after this one is resolved. If you're in a similar moment right now — wrestling with whether a deal clears the bar or not — the framework Alex lays out in this conversation is one you can apply immediately to whatever is sitting in your pipeline.   Follow Alex Pardo here: Website — https://www.alexpardonow.com Storage Wins — https://www.storagewins.com Schedule a call with Alex — https://www.storagewins.com/call Facebook — https://www.facebook.com/alexpardonow Instagram — https://www.instagram.com/alexpardonow YouTube — https://www.youtube.com/@alexpardonow   Join the Storage Wins Facebook community and connect with other investors working through deals just like this one at https://www.facebook.com/groups/storagewins.

Read Online“You are the light of the world. A city set on a mountain cannot be hidden. Nor do they light a lamp and then put it under a bushel basket; it is set on a lampstand, where it gives light to all in the house. Just so, your light must shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your heavenly Father.” Matthew 5:14–16Light and darkness are not opposing forces; rather, darkness is simply the absence of light. When light enters, darkness is dispelled. In a similar way, good and evil are not equal forces. Evil is the absence of God's presence and grace, and where God's light shines, evil is overcome.Today's Gospel is part of the Sermon on the Mount, one of Jesus' most well known teachings. The simile of light follows the Beatitudes, in which Jesus reveals the paradox of true blessedness in the Kingdom of God compared to fleeting worldly blessings. After teaching that true happiness is found in spiritual poverty, holy sorrow, meekness, righteousness, mercy, purity, peacemaking, and love in the face of persecution, Jesus calls His followers to radiate this blessedness to the world. They are to shine as a light in the midst of darkness, becoming beacons of God's presence and grace, dispelling evil by their witness to divine truth and love.In John's Gospel, Jesus proclaims, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life” (John 8:12). In today's Gospel from Matthew, Jesus extends this mission to His followers, teaching that they are the light of the world. As bearers of His light, they must not hide this gift but allow it to shine brightly for others, so that through their good works, God may be glorified.This invitation to be light in the world, dispelling darkness, resonates deeply within the natural longing of every human heart. As beings created in the image and likeness of God, we are naturally drawn to goodness, truth, and beauty. The desire to make a positive difference and to bring goodness into the world is inscribed into our very nature by God. No one living in accord with human reason seeks to make the world worse. Even those who choose evil often do so out of a distorted or misguided understanding of what is good. This confusion arises from the absence of God's light in their hearts, leading them to pursue false or incomplete goods instead of the ultimate good, which is found in union with God.This call to be light, therefore, is not simply a duty—it is a return to our truest selves, a fulfillment of our deepest purpose. In choosing to reflect the light of Christ through our good deeds, we not only dispel the darkness around us but also restore within ourselves the divine image that sin seeks to obscure. We become who we were made to be.Yet, Jesus' teaching points us beyond the fulfillment of a natural desire to make a positive difference. He elevates this longing by inviting us to participate in His supernatural mission, by which the Father is glorified. Through the grace of the Holy Spirit we are transformed into vessels of God's light and love. It is not by our own power but through God's light within us that we are able to radiate His truth and goodness to the world.Reflect today on the desire God has placed within your heart to make a difference in the world. Begin with that desire but allow Christ to elevate it. Recognize that the greatest good you can do is to radiate God's light. Jesus is the True Light, but He calls you to be a beacon, reflecting His love for all to see. When God's light shines through us, we do not glorify ourselves but give glory to the Father, leading others to share in His glory. This mission—to be a lampstand for God's light—is the highest calling of your life and the only way to fulfill the longing He has written into your heart. Embrace that mission, nourish it through prayer and the sacraments, and rejoice as God uses you to further His eternal glory.Jesus, True Light of the World, You shine the radiance of Your truth and grace into my soul and call me to reflect Your light for others. Help me to magnify Your presence and glorify the Father through my life. Flood my soul with Your divine light, dispelling all darkness within me. Use me as Your instrument to renew the world in Your love and mercy. Jesus, I place all my trust in You.  Image: Let Your Light Shine by Lawrence OP, license CC BY-NC-ND 2.0.Source: Free RSS feed from catholic-daily-reflections.com — Copyright © 2026 My Catholic Life!

Text your thoughts and questions!Have you ever sat down to write an email, finish a report, or tackle a simple task, only to watch it consume far more time than it should have? It can feel frustrating, especially when you thought having extra time would make things easier. But what if more time is actually part of the problem?The idea behind Parkinson's Law is surprisingly simple: work expands to fill the time available for its completion. What started as a satirical observation in the 1950s has since been supported by research showing that when people are given more time than they need, they tend to use it, whether the task requires it or not.In this episode, we're exploring why open-ended time can lead to procrastination, overthinking, perfectionism, and unnecessary task expansion. More importantly, you'll learn how to use intentional time constraints to your advantage so you can focus better, make progress faster, and create a more sustainable approach to productivity that works with your brain instead of against it.This week, episode 317 of the Positively Living® Podcast explores the practical side of Parkinson's Law and shares simple ways to use time boundaries, self-created deadlines, and focused work sessions to accomplish more without rushing or burning out.Key Takeaways:Understand how Parkinson's Law causes tasks to expand simply because more time is available.Recognize why open-ended projects often lead to procrastination, overthinking, and perfectionism.Learn why urgency and deadlines can dramatically improve focus, especially for ADHD brains.Use timeboxing to create clear boundaries that help your brain stay engaged and productive.Define what "done" looks like before you begin to avoid endless tweaking and refinement.Create meaningful self-imposed deadlines when external deadlines don't exist.Improve focus and consistency by working in shorter, intentional sprints instead of marathon sessions.Develop the self-awareness to recognize when a task genuinely needs more time versus when it's simply expanding to fill available space.Thank you for listening!

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Coaching the Whole Educator, Becca Silver talks with Principal Kafele about what happens when high expectations meet resistance in schools and how leaders can respond without slipping into compliance-driven leadership.Together, they explore how school leaders can create a true culture of high expectations, not by demanding instant transformation, but by helping educators experience steady, measurable growth. Principal Kafele shares why leaders must connect expectations to a larger purpose, build authentic relationships with staff, and understand what is beneath the pushback before deciding how to respond.This conversation digs into the difference between teacher resistance, overwhelm, and low expectations, and why leaders cannot diagnose those differences without ongoing trust, coaching, and collaboration. Becca and Principal Kafele also discuss the role of leadership identity, including how the way leaders see themselves shapes how they respond to hesitation, pushback, and resistance.Listeners will walk away with practical insight into how to: Hold high expectations without leading through compliance  Recognize growth as progress, not perfection  Build a school culture where expectations become normal behavior  Respond to resistance with curiosity instead of judgment  Strengthen leadership identity during difficult conversations  Support educators through change while maintaining clear standards This episode is especially valuable for principals, assistant principals, instructional coaches, district leaders, and school leadership teams who are navigating resistance to change, supporting adult learning, and working to build cultures of growth, accountability, and meaningful progress.[BOOK] Grab There Resistance Solution: Why Educator Resist and What They Need Instead HERE! Let's Stay Connected!Website  |  Instagram |  Twitter |  Linkedin |  Facebook |  Contact Us

1st June 2026 In this Satsang, Sanjay delivered a spiritual teaching on self-realization and liberation from mental bondage, explaining that true freedom comes from looking within rather than outward at thoughts and external phenomena. He discussed the nature of consciousness, explaining that Brahman is eternally uninvolved and pure, while the mind creates delusion through thoughts and projections that lead to suffering. Sanjay emphasized that grace comes from looking toward the source, and that spiritual practice involves breaking old associations with the mind to reveal the pure awareness that is always present but overlooked. He warned against seeking freedom through external means or teachers, stating that true liberation requires self-effort and understanding that the self is never impure or in need of purification. These are teachings and pointers from ongoing NDA(Non-duality awareness)/Advaitic Satsangs held at Bhagavan Ramana Maharshi Centre in Melbourne, Australia. Om Namo Bhagavate Sri Arunachala Ramanaya !

For B'Tselem executive director Yuli Novak, the firestorm around the New York Times column by Nicholas Kristof decrying sexual violence by Israelis against Palestinians in the West Bank and in Israeli prisons has had the wrong focus. Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast, Novak said the Israeli government’s "propaganda machine" and other critics focused on challenging the facts regarding the abuse described in the piece, which she says are backed up by "dozens of testimonies" collected by her organization. "I would say it's much less a question whether these things [sexual abuse of Palestinians] are happening or not happening, and much more about what it means for all of us, and first and foremost for the victims." In its report on prisons, based on testimonies from Palestinians detained and then released from 16 detention facilities after October 7, B’Tselem documented "ongoing torture, physical and mental" abuse and the use of starvation and denial of medical treatment "as a policy." B’Tselem’s conclusion: that these facilities represented "a network of torture camps," which Novak admitted "was hard to grasp as an Israeli. For me – torture camps have been something that happens somewhere else." October 7 had been an opportunity and a “catalyst” for right-wing extremists in the government to influence policies in the direction of “their nationalist, racist, and in the case of National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir and the prison system – I would even say their sadistic agenda,” Novak said. “We can keep telling ourselves that we're a democracy, but if Israel, holding almost half of its population under its control without the right to go and vote for the system that governs them, it's not a democracy.” Read more: B'Tselem Report: Testimonies Describe 'Pattern of Sexual Violence' Against Palestinian Prisoners UN Secretary-General Report Accuses Israeli Forces of Rape, Sexual Abuse of Palestinian Detainees Ben-Gvir Is Not Alone: These Are His Collaborators in the Illegal Treatment of Palestinian Prisoners Op-ed by Yuli Novak: Even if You Call Israel a Democracy, It Is Still Apartheid Israel Must Let Red Cross Visit Palestinian Security Prisoners, High Court Rules Read B'Tselem's full report on Israeli prisons as a network of torture campsSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Show Notes What if you could catch a plumbing leak before it became a five-figure repair? In this episode of Be a Smarter Homeowner, Beth Dodson talks with Ian Greene about why leak detection is one of the smartest upgrades a homeowner can make. They break down how flow-based leak detection works, why hidden leaks are so destructive, and how smart systems can shut water off automatically before a small issue becomes a major disaster.  Beth also shares her own experience with water damage and why even a "small" leak can create months of disruption, unexpected out-of-pocket costs, and a long repair process. Ian explains why toilets, hidden pipe failures, freezing conditions, critters, and faulty fittings are among the biggest leak risks homeowners face. He also shares how FlowLogic differs from simpler devices by detecting extremely low flow rates, offering battery backup, app alerts, and user-controlled settings that help prevent nuisance shutoffs.  The conversation also explores the insurance angle: how water damage claims can be costly, why some insurers now require leak detection devices for certain homes, and how discounts may help offset installation costs over time. Beyond protecting your home, Beth and Ian discuss the peace of mind, water savings, and environmental benefits that come with catching leaks early.  If you have ever worried about what's happening behind your walls, under your floors, or while you're away from home, this episode is a practical reminder that prevention is far easier than restoration.  Sound bites  "Recognize when a leak has been going on too long."

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.

You ever walk in the door after a long day…say nothing…and still hear, "You seem annoyed to be home"? That one stings. But let's be real…sometimes they're not wrong. Not because you're annoyed with your spouse or kids, but because your emotions are talking…even when you're not. In this 5-Minute Drill episode of Coming Up Clutch with J.R.™, J.R. tackles a hidden performance killer for high-performing, faith-driven men: emotional residue. The pressure. The conversation that fired you up. The meeting that went sideways. The stress that never got processed. …You may think you left it at work, but if you don't transition with intention, it walks through the front door before your words ever do. This episode is about one simple truth:  Your silence may not say anything, but your emotional state is still speaking loud and clear. And if you don't learn how to reset before you walk through the door, the people you love most may keep getting your leftovers instead of your leadership. In this episode, you'll hear: Why your silence after work may still be sending a loud message to your loved ones. The neuroscience behind emotional contagion (and how your energy is influencing your home without saying a word). A powerful Scripture verse that reveals how your inner world shapes your outer presence. The 3-step strategy to help you shift from work mode to home leader in less than 5 minutes. The science of embodied cognition and how your posture and expression can transform your mindset. A game-changing mindset shift to help you start leading with intentional energy. What you'll walk away with… You'll learn how to: Recognize the emotional signals you're sending before you walk into a room. Stop leaking stress onto the people you love. Use your breath, body, and mindset to reset your presence. Transition with intention, not tension. Come home as a calm, confident, and present leader — even after a tough day. KEY QUOTES "Your energy walks through your front door before your words ever do." - J.R. "Your emotions are talking, even if you're not." - J.R. "This isn't about faking it—it's about leading with the positive energy you have inside of you, even when you may feel exhausted." - J.R.

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.

History doesn't only live in books. It lives in who gets remembered, who gets silenced, and who chooses to speak anyway! Meet Kristi Williams, a descendant of the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre and member of Historic Vernon AME Church, who brings a deeply personal lens to historical preservation, and Emma Willis, who complements this perspective by focusing on advocacy, ethical philanthropy, and the importance of treating lived experience with care and dignity. Together, they emphasize how community memory and historical truth are shaped by those closest to it. The discussion expands into the erasure of Black history in education, including policies such as Oklahoma's House Bill 1775, and the broader challenge of restricted narratives in schools. Kristi and Emma highlight practical ways everyday people can contribute, such as reading widely, including banned books, journaling present-day experiences, and preserving family and ancestral documents. They also explore philanthropy as a relational practice rather than transactional giving, stressing collaboration with communities. Ultimately, the conversation connects personal storytelling, institutional responsibility, and collective action as essential tools for preserving history and strengthening democracy. In this episode, you will be able to:  Understand how everyday people contribute to preserving history. Recognize the importance of descendant-led storytelling in historical preservation. Identify how oral histories and personal archives protect erased narratives. Analyze the impact of banning or restricting historical books. Appreciate the role of Black history in strengthening democratic understanding. Describe how philanthropy can support community-led cultural preservation. Distinguish between transactional giving and relational philanthropy. Apply journaling as a tool for documenting lived experience for future history.

What if the biggest growth opportunity in a chiropractic business isn't more marketing, more hours, or more staff, but simply maximizing what already exists? In this episode, Dr. Josiah Fitzsimmons, joins Dr. Pete to unpack the financial blind spots holding chiropractors back from greater profitability and impact. As the co-founder of Lucro, Dr. Josiah shares insights gathered from years of analyzing financial and operational data across hundreds of chiropractic clinics. Together, they explore the operational patterns, team utilization gaps, and decision-making frameworks that separate stagnant practices from scalable businesses. The conversation reveals how CEOs can use data to increase confidence, unlock untapped revenue potential, and build healthier, more profitable practices without immediately increasing overhead. In This Episode You Will: Understand why most chiropractic practices are dramatically underutilizing their existing capacity Discover the hidden revenue opportunity already sitting inside the average clinic Learn how data-driven decision-making creates stronger operational confidence Clarify the difference between fixed costs, variable costs, and scalable profitability See why growing a business requires different leadership at every stage of scale   Episode Highlights 01:50 - Explore how combining business performance and clinical excellence creates a more complete framework for sustainable growth.  05:24 - Recognize why many practice owners struggle to scale when decisions are driven by opinions rather than operational clarity.  09:44 - Discover why maximizing existing resources often creates greater profitability than immediately expanding capacity.  11:32 - Examine the surprising revenue patterns that separate top-performing practices from the average clinic.  12:53 - Clarify the three-step scaling framework built around capacity awareness, optimization, and strategic expansion.  15:21 - Understand why team performance is often a reflection of systems, training, and operational structure rather than talent alone.  18:12 - Uncover how underutilized teams can quietly limit revenue growth despite significant investment in personnel.  24:15 - Identify how doctors performing non-essential responsibilities can become the primary constraint to business growth.  27:16 - Explore why long waitlists may signal operational bottlenecks rather than evidence of business success.  29:56 - Examine the profitability sweet spot where efficiency, capacity, and overhead reach their strongest alignment.  32:01 - Discover why the strategies that create early growth often become the very obstacles to reaching the next level.  34:55 - Learn how better data creates greater confidence when navigating complex business decisions and growth opportunities. 39:19 - Dr. Chris sits down with Dr. Steve Tullius of Success Partner Waitlist Workshops to explore how practices can attract the right patients through education-first marketing. They discuss how workshops build trust, create demand, and position doctors as the preferred solution. When communication creates certainty, growth becomes more intentional, predictable, and sustainable.   Resources Mentioned Learn more about Lucro and schedule a strategy call, visit: https://morelucro.com/ Get Your Copy of the 2026 Lucro Industry Report here: https://report.morelucro.com/ To learn more about the REM CEO Program, please visit:  http://www.theremarkablepractice.com/rem-ceo For more information about Waitlist Workshops please visit: https://waitlistworkshops.com   Book a Strategy Session with Dr. Pete - https://go.oncehub.com/PodcastPC Prefer to watch?

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? Dan's honest answer [5:38] Why Alex's mentor told him to "love the journey" — and what that actually means [6:35] The confidence that comes from persisting when others would have quit [7:40] Deal overview: how did Dan even find this opportunity? [8:43] Cold called the owner four years ago — couldn't get through [9:12] A VA finally made contact: seller wanted $3 million — the follow-up began [10:03] How finding better bank financing changed everything and unlocked the deal [10:41] The numbers: 28,000 sq ft, 234 units, plus 24 containers with upside potential [11:32] How many offers did Dan send this seller? "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.

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....

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.
