In this Episode: This episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosted by Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, focuses on improving decision-making skills, whether for simple daily choices or complex life-altering ones. They emphasize that procrastination can kill momentum and hinder goals, highlighting the importance of making decisions quickly, even if it means failing faster and learning from the experience. The hosts delve into the concept of risk in decision-making, explaining that while you can manage and mitigate risk, you can never eliminate it. They caution against being too risk-averse, as a lack of growth can lead to stagnation, especially in business. They advocate for calculated risks and view failures as valuable learning opportunities. The podcast outlines three action steps to help listeners overcome decision paralysis and make better choices: Action Step 1: Set a Deadline (or Just Do It Now) The first crucial step is to decide on a timeline for when you will make your decision. For smaller, less impactful decisions, the hosts suggest simply making the choice immediately ("just do it"). For larger decisions, set a short, firm deadline and commit to it, perhaps even by communicating it to someone else. They emphasize that most people, like car buyers, procrastinate until the very last moment, and being honest about this tendency can help you make decisions more promptly. Action Step 2: Blend Intuition with Data This step focuses on combining your gut feelings (intuition) with factual information (data). The hosts explain that intuition can be considered a form of data, often developed through experience, and can be trained like a skill. However, they caution against relying solely on external data sources like the internet, which can provide conflicting information (e.g., "blueberries are healthy" vs. "blueberries are deadly"). Instead, they suggest using data to support and refine your initial gut feeling, rather than using it to determine what you should do from scratch. Action Step 3: Get Over the Fear of Making the Wrong Choice The final step is to conquer the fear of making a mistake. The hosts stress that there's rarely only one "right" answer, and most decisions, unless they involve severe consequences like death or prison, are simply part of your life's journey and learning process. They encourage listeners to embrace imperfect outcomes, learn from any "losses" or less-than-ideal results, and move forward. They differentiate between minor daily decisions (e.g., what to eat) and major life choices (e.g., choosing a spouse, buying a house), acknowledging that the latter warrant more thoughtful consideration and compromise. The podcast concludes by reiterating that every decision is a learning opportunity and encourages listeners to embrace a mindset of learning and growth, even from less-than-perfect outcomes.

Why are no trespassing signs appearing on Irish mountains that hikers have accessed for decades? Can walkers really sue farmers when they injure themselves on private land? What happens when busloads of tourists arrive at remote trailheads with no permission from landowners? Our guest John Smyth, a hiker with 20 years' experience in Connemara and volunteer with Mountain Meitheal Ireland, reveals how Ireland's hiking landscape has transformed from quiet trails to crowded mountains - and the growing tensions this creates.John witnessed this dramatic shift firsthand, from days when you could have entire mountain ranges to yourself to the current reality of overflowing car parks and commercial guides leading groups across private farmland without permission. The Wild Atlantic Way's success, social media promotion, and COVID-19's outdoor boom brought thousands of new hikers to mountains that remain privately owned. Unlike Britain's established rights of way, Irish hikers rely entirely on farmers' goodwill. That goodwill is wearing thin as fences get damaged and livestock are stressed by unleashed dogs.In our conversation, we explore practical solutions that are emerging to address this situation, including three-way partnerships between hiking clubs, Mountaineering Ireland, and Rural Recreation Officers aimed at building stiles and maintaining trails. We discuss liability concerns that keep farmers worried, the importance of proper hiking etiquette, and successful models like Kerry's collaborative approach to managing access. This episode offers essential insights into respecting the land and the people who own it for anyone who loves Ireland's mountains or is interested in land access.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt welcome back Barb Stone, an entrepreneur, leadership development coach, trainer, speaker, and now an author and TEDx speaker. They discuss Barb's journey since her last appearance on the podcast four years ago, highlighting her significant professional growth. Barb shares her background, starting with 25 years as a senior female leader in manufacturing after earning her MBA. Despite her success, she felt a desire for "more" than just climbing the corporate ladder. This led her to a journey of self-discovery, studying resiliency and positive psychology, getting involved with John Maxwell, and eventually becoming a leadership coach. She emphasizes that her motivation to become a coach stemmed from her own challenging journey as a first-generation American of Polish descent, wishing she had a guide earlier in her life. The conversation then shifts to Barb's new book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," which combines her coaching wisdom with her passion for Great Danes. She explains how the idea for the book was planted by a client in 2020 and how it evolved into a collection of inspirational stories, each accompanied by an illustration and a wisdom statement. Barb stresses the importance of following one's passion, even if the profitability isn't immediately clear, noting that the book is an investment in herself and a way to share her message. She believes that when you commit to your passion, opportunities will arise, such as speaking engagements and partnerships.  Barb also discusses her target audience for the book, stating it's for anyone from four to 104 years old who seeks inspiration or loves animals. She shares her experience visiting an elementary school to discuss social-emotional learning using her book, demonstrating its broad appeal. She emphasizes that the book's creation process itself, with its many iterations and challenges, mirrors the life lessons it teaches about growth and perseverance. A key takeaway from the discussion is Barb's belief in "leading ourselves first," and how life can "happen through us" when we share our wisdom and experiences to help others. She encourages listeners to "follow the breadcrumbs"—the small signs and opportunities that appear along one's path, especially for aspiring entrepreneurs. To find out more about Barb Stone and her book, listeners are directed to her website, Barbstone.me, where they can purchase the book, sign up for newsletters, and find links to her social media profiles. The hosts commend Barb for her bravery in pursuing her passions and putting her work out into the world Barb Stone Bio: Barbara Stone is a Syracuse, NY-based Entrepreneur, Author, Leadership Development Coach, Trainer, and Speaker, dedicated to empowering individuals to define and achieve their authentic version of success. Her journey is marked by resilience and a passion for helping others.  After a distinguished 25-year career in senior leadership roles within manufacturing, including Executive Vice President and CFO, Barb realized she was living someone else's definition of success. This led her to an intensive study of resilience and positive psychology, understanding that true opportunities are created, not accidental.  In 2018, Barb launched Build Your Path LLC. As a leadership development coach, she now passionately guides individuals, teams, and boards to discover their authentic selves and build a life that truly reflects who they are, challenging the notion that "looking good and getting it right" should lead to performance anxiety. Her personal journey, including overcoming challenges like alopecia and the unexpected loss of her first husband, Bob, has further deepened her commitment to resilience and personal growth.  Complementing her coaching and speaking, Barb is the author of her first book, "So Much to Drool About: Lessons for Living Large," published in April of 2025. Through heartwarming stories inspired by her beloved Great Danes, she shares gentle wisdom on living in the present, embracing life's adventures, and finding joy and gratitude.  Barb's extensive commitment extends into her community. She is a founding member of the CNY Women's Fund and actively contributes to various non-profit organizations, including the NY State Mentoring program and the WISE Women's Business Center. She is a certified ICF coach (CPCC, PCC) and a certified Organization and Relationship Systems coach (ORSCC), and her impactful message has earned her a spot as a TEDx speaker.   Through her multifaceted work, Barbara Stone continues to empower others to forge their unique and fulfilling paths.   Learn more: www.barbstone.me  ARN Suggested Reading: Blessings In the Bullshit: A Guided Journal for Finding the BEST In Every Day – by Mark Cardone & Theron Feidt https://www.amazon.com/Blessings-Bullshit-Guided-Journal-Finding/dp/B09FP35ZXX/ref=sr_1_1?dchild=1&keywords=blessings+in+the+bullshit&qid=1632233840&sr=8-1 Full List of Recommended Books: https://www.achieveresultsnow.com/readers-are-leaders  Questions: 1.   Do you have a question you want answered in a future podcast? 2.   Go to www.AchieveResultsNow.com to submit.

In this Episode: The "Achieve Results Now" podcast, with hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt, likens achieving your goals to using a GPS. They emphasize that just as a GPS helps you navigate, you can use a personal "GPS" system to reach any desired outcome in life. The hosts break down this analogy into three core components: 1. Set Your Destination (Clarity is Power) The first crucial step is to clearly define your destination. Many people know what they don't want but lack a specific vision of what they do want. Just like a GPS needs a precise address, your goals need to be crystal clear. Vague goals, like "going north," can lead you astray over time. The clearer your destination, the more accurately your personal GPS can guide you back on track when detours inevitably arise. Regularly reviewing and confirming your goals' relevance (e.g., every three months) ensures you're always heading in the right direction. 2. Pin Your Current Location (Be Honest About Where You Are) The second step involves honestly assessing your current position. This can be challenging as people often downplay or exaggerate their starting point. The hosts stress the importance of being objective about your present circumstances without judgment. Whether you're far from your goal or surprisingly close, this honest evaluation provides the necessary data for your "GPS" to calculate the correct route. They suggest asking a trusted friend or spouse for an objective opinion or even taking a self-assessment (like a fitness test) to get a true picture. 3. Set a Realistic ETA (Adjust, Don't Quit) Finally, you need to establish a realistic Estimated Time of Arrival (ETA) for your goal. The hosts joke about always trying to beat the GPS's estimated time, but they highlight that setting an unrealistic ETA can be demotivating if you fall short, while too easy an ETA provides no challenge. The key is to be realistic and understand that, like a GPS, your ETA will adjust due to unforeseen "traffic" or "detours" (life's obstacles). The most important takeaway is to never quit when faced with delays; simply reset the timeline, not the goal itself. Breaking down large goals into smaller "checkpoints" (like rest stops on a long drive) can help maintain motivation by allowing you to celebrate progress and see how far you've come. By applying these three GPS principles—setting a clear destination, honestly assessing your starting point, and setting a realistic yet adaptable timeline—you can effectively navigate your journey toward achieving any goal. What's one goal you're working on right now that could benefit from using this "GPS" approach?

Why is the farming community so opposed to the American Prairie Foundation's rewilding vision? Can ranchers and conservationists find common ground when grizzly bears are eating cattle and wolves are reducing elk herds? What happens when well-meaning conservation efforts clash with rural communities who've worked the land for generations?To explore these contentious questions, I sit down with filmmaker Tom Opre and associate producer Tony Bynum to discuss their latest documentary, ‘The Real Yellowstone'. Tom returns to the podcast after previous episodes about his films ‘Killing the Shepherd' and ‘The Last Keeper', bringing his unique perspective on conservation conflicts around the world. Tony, with his background in resource management and Native American heritage, adds crucial insights into the complex dynamics between land use, science, and policy. Together, they've spent years documenting the realities facing rural communities caught between traditional ways of life and modern conservation initiatives.Our conversation reveals parallels between the Montana ranching conflicts and the land and wildlife management debates we've seen in Scotland and Africa. We delve into the American Prairie Foundation's ambitious plan to create a 3 million-acre wildlife preserve, complete with 30,000 bison managed by wolves and grizzly bears. But the reality on the ground tells a more complex story. Local ranchers, some with families who've worked the same land for over a century, feel threatened by outside organisations with deep pockets and different visions for the landscape. We discuss the practical challenges of living with recovering predator populations, from grizzly bears wandering into backyards to wolves reducing elk numbers that support thriving hunting economies. The film, as well as our conversation, doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable truths about modern conservation, including the role of wealthy outsiders driving up land prices and fundamentally changing rural communities.Further reading:The Real Yellowstone - The Real Yellowstone delves into the lives of ranching families who find themselves at the heart of a complex struggle. As stewards of both livestock and wildlife, these ranchers, whose families have worked the land for generations, face a web of rising real estate prices, predator attacks, and a powerful conservation movement that seeks to reshape the landscape they call home.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: This podcast from "Achieve Results NOW!" with Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt focuses on troubleshooting goals when things don't go as planned. They use the analogy of a printer that "should" work but doesn't, relating it to how goals sometimes fail despite our best efforts. Three key steps to troubleshoot your goals: 1. Run a Systems Check: Re-evaluate Your "Why": This initial step emphasizes the importance of understanding your motivation for a goal. By deeply exploring "why" you want to achieve something, you can gain clarity and renewed drive. The hosts suggest that sometimes, this re-evaluation might even lead you to postpone or scrap a goal if it's no longer aligned with your core values or priorities. They highlight the concept of creating leverage by involving others or making commitments, which can increase your motivation to follow through. 2. Pinpoint the Specific Obstacle: Identify Error Messages: This step encourages listeners to act like a troubleshooter looking for an error message. Instead of blaming external factors, the hosts urge listeners to look inward and identify specific internal obstacles, often related to bad habits. They suggest that many obstacles are a result of our own behaviors and routines, emphasizing that these habits can affect multiple areas of life, not just the goal in question.   3. Software Update: Learn and Adapt: The final step is about personal growth and change. This involves adjusting your thinking, learning from past mistakes, and adapting your approach. The hosts stress that if you remain the same person, you'll likely encounter the same problems. They encourage listeners to challenge negative self-talk and ingrained mindsets, particularly around time management. Additionally, they suggest identifying skill gaps and actively working to improve them, using examples like public speaking and joining groups like Toastmasters. The hosts conclude by recommending finding a trusted person who can provide honest feedback and help you identify your blind spots.

Why are people so opposed to the term "rewilding" when it can inspire action for nature restoration? How can we communicate conservation issues without alienating the very people we need to reach? And what happens when a creative professional decides to transform four fields in Wicklow into a biodiversity haven while documenting every step for others to follow?In this outdoor episode, we sit down with Jack Morley in his rewilding project in Wicklow to explore these questions and more. Jack brings a fresh perspective to nature communication, drawing on his background in advertising and film to reach audiences beyond the usual conservation choir. He's passionate about positive messaging, believing that doom and gloom narratives only preach to the converted whilst switching off those who could become tomorrow's nature champions. His approach focuses on inspiration rather than education, using enthusiasm and accessible language to engage people who might not even realise they care about Irish wildlife.Jack's land showcases remarkable habitat diversity across just five acres - from native woodland plantations using both traditional and Miyawaki methods, to wildflower meadows that proved more challenging than expected. He's creating wetlands, managing microhabitats with log piles and standing deadwood, and dealing with the realities of river water quality changes. The conversation reveals the practical challenges of habitat creation, from Yorkshire fog domination in meadows to the ongoing debate about active management versus natural regeneration. Jack's documentation of "Ireland's Nature Heroes" on social media highlights the groundswell of conservation work happening across the country, work that often goes unnoticed but deserves celebration.Further reading:Rewilding an old Irish farm | FULL TOURSubscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and Facebook

In this Episode: In this episode of the "Achieve Results NOW!" podcast, hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the importance of improving memory in an increasingly technology-dependent world. They emphasize that memory is like a muscle that needs to be exercised and that relying too heavily on technology can hinder its development. Here are three actionable tips from the podcast to improve your memory: 1. Engage Multiple Senses To solidify memories, involve as many senses as possible. For instance, when trying to remember a name, don't just hear it; try writing it down or saying it aloud (naturally) during the conversation. For tasks like remembering a grocery list, visualizing yourself picking up the items in the store, or even drawing diagrams while taking notes, can significantly enhance recall. The more senses you engage, the stronger the memory connection becomes. 2. Create Vivid Mental Images and Stories Transforming information into imaginative and even illogical stories can make it more memorable. When trying to remember something like a phone number, break it into chunks and weave a narrative around those numbers. Similarly, when setting goals, create a vivid story in which you are the hero achieving them. The more bizarre or emotionally resonant the story, the more likely you are to recall the information. 3. Practice Active Recall and Spaced Repetition Actively retrieving information from your memory and reviewing it at increasing intervals are powerful techniques. For example, after taking notes, review them later the same day, then again, the next morning, and once more in the afternoon and evening. This spaced repetition helps lock information into long-term memory. Applying this to goals means regularly reviewing them so they become ingrained in your subconscious. This method is far more effective than cramming, ensuring that important information, from daily tasks to long-term aspirations, remains accessible in your mind.

Ever wonder why you can recognise your friend's face instantly but struggle to remember where you put your keys? Your brain is running the most sophisticated learning system ever created, and most of us have no clue how it actually works. Nicholas Shea is an Oxford and King's College Researcher working in philosophy of mind, cognitive neuroscience and artificial intelligence. He breaks down the fascinating psychology behind how we build concepts in our minds. Think of concepts as mental shortcuts - when you see a dog, you don't analyse four legs, fur, and a tail. Your brain instantly accesses everything you know about dogs. We dissect these fundamental building blocks of learning into how the brain actually works and learns, and build mastery. Three key takeaways: What builds basic concepts into subject mastery? How do emotions inform decision-making?

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt discuss the critical importance of customer service, extending beyond business interactions to encompass personal relationships. They emphasize that effective customer service is a developable skill and a form of leadership, crucial for navigating a world increasingly absorbed in technology. They propose three actionable steps to enhance your service and communication with others:   1. Greet and Treat People Like a VIP This first step is about making everyone you interact with feel genuinely important and significant. Whether it's a family member, a friend, or a customer, show enthusiasm for their presence. Examples include giving a warm greeting, making eye contact, putting away your phone, and actively listening. The goal is to set a positive tone and convey that you're happy they are there and their needs matter, aligning with Dale Carnegie's principle of the human desire to feel significant.   2. Listen Like It's Your Job Beyond a mere greeting, active and present listening is paramount. The hosts stress being fully engaged in the moment, not just hearing words but seeking to truly understand the other person's needs, often by picking up on subtle cues beyond verbal communication. They caution against listening with an agenda (e.g., trying to immediately push a product or solution), highlighting that true understanding builds stronger relationships. This active listening allows you to uncover underlying needs, as exemplified by a martial arts student seeking self-defense but truly needing more balance and personal time.   3. Solve the Problem (or Be of Service) The final step is about providing value and finding solutions, but with a crucial caveat: understand the context. In a business setting, customers often approach you with a problem they want solved. Be an authority without being authoritative, offering confident solutions and real-life examples. In personal relationships, especially with loved ones, sometimes the "solution" is simply active listening and empathy, not an immediate fix. However, always look for ways to be of service, even subtly or by anticipating needs before they are voiced, demonstrating your value to them.   The hosts conclude by urging listeners to implement these steps to improve both professional and personal relationships, reminding them to share the episode with those who could benefit.

How does a wealthy animal welfare organisation, funded by well-meaning donors from Europe and North America, end up relocating hundreds of elephants to an area where some of the world's poorest people live? What happens when two people are killed within 24 hours of the first four elephants arriving, yet the organisation presses on with moving another 259 elephants in just 30 days? Why are over 12,500 people now living in terror whilst those responsible show nothing but arrogance when approached for help?This episode examines a conservation crisis unfolding in Malawi and Zambia, where the International Fund for Animal Welfare's elephant translocation project has gone catastrophically wrong. Journalist Jens Ulrik Høgh returns from his recent trip to the region, where he documented the devastating impact on local communities who had never seen elephants before 2022. Twelve people have been killed, thousands have lost their crops and livelihoods, and children can no longer safely walk to school. Meanwhile, the elephants themselves are being killed in retaliation, making this a disaster for both wildlife and people.The conversation explores uncomfortable questions about conservation imperialism, the business models of large NGOs, and the stark inequality between wealthy Western donors and the African communities bearing the consequences. Jens reveals how a project that cost less than $2 million has destroyed lives whilst the organisation continues to raise over $100 million annually. This isn't just about elephants - it's about power, money, and the ongoing legacy of colonial attitudes in modern conservation. The episode serves as a crucial reminder that conservation projects are doomed to fail without local acceptance, often with tragic consequences for all involved.Further reading:In Rural Malawi, a Western NGO Imported Elephants.

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt address the common issue of feeling overwhelmed and procrastinating on large tasks, often stemming from the mistaken belief that we need to feel motivated before starting. They challenge the idea of waiting for motivation, asserting that taking immediate, small actions is the true path to progress. They propose three actionable steps to overcome this inertia: 1. Identify Your One-Minute Miracle When faced with a daunting task, the goal is to pinpoint the absolute smallest action you can take that will take less than one minute. This isn't about making significant progress, but about breaking the mental barrier of starting. Examples include opening a document, picking up one piece of trash, or finding a phone number. The hosts emphasize that this tiny "win" creates momentum, often leading to continued action. The key is to avoid assigning perceived "difficulty" to these micro-steps. 2. Focus on Starting, Not Finishing A major source of overwhelm is the pressure to complete the entire task. Instead, shift your mindset to simply focus on initiating the task. Give yourself permission to work on it for a short, set time (e.g., 5-10 minutes) or tackle only the easiest part first. The hosts cite the "Couch to 5K" program as an excellent example of how incremental, focus-on-starting steps can lead to significant long-term achievements, often by making the initial steps feel "too easy" to build confidence and momentum.   3. Schedule Your Tiny Start Don't leave your initial small actions to chance. Actively schedule your "tiny start" into your calendar or set reminders. Treat these short commitment times (even 5-10 minutes) with the same importance as any other appointment. This accountability ensures that you actually do the small steps, maintaining consistency and momentum. The hosts suggest flexibility, understanding that life happens, but emphasizing that scheduling these small, regular efforts is crucial for building long-term progress rather than relying on unsustainable "massive leaps" that often lead to burnout. By implementing these three steps, the podcast encourages listeners to overcome procrastination and overwhelm by taking immediate, manageable actions, building momentum, and consistently moving towards their larger goals.

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt emphasize that while people set ambitious goals, they often "fall to the level of their habits." They introduce the concept of "TNT" – Today, Not Tomorrow – as the crucial mindset for building momentum and achieving results. The hosts acknowledge that many people struggle with procrastination and feeling unmotivated, but stress that immediate action, no matter how small, is key. Three actionable steps to cultivate powerful habits: 1. Audit Your Anchors The first step is to analyze your existing routines, especially the "bookends" of your day (morning and evening). These are often the most consistent parts of your day and present prime opportunities for intentional change. The hosts suggest questioning whether your current morning and evening routines are truly serving you and setting you up for success. Even small adjustments to these habitual moments can significantly impact your energy and productivity throughout the day. The goal is to identify and transform unproductive anchors into positive ones that foster motivation and a strong start. 2. Pick One Game-Changer Habit Identify the single habit that, if consistently implemented, would have the biggest ripple effect across other areas of your life. This isn't about overhauling everything at once, but finding that one keystone habit that, once established, naturally leads to other positive changes. Examples given include starting martial arts or consistent morning walks, which often lead to increased energy and improvements in work and family life. The hosts suggest reflecting on your stress points and reverse-engineering the habit that would alleviate that stress. While these foundational habits might seem "boring," their consistent practice yields significant long-term results. 3. Upgrade by 10% Embrace the Kaizen principle of continuous, small improvements. Instead of aiming for drastic changes, look for ways to make your existing efforts just 10% (or even 1%) better each day. For example, if you make 10 sales calls, aim for 11; if you do 10 push-ups, do 11. This incremental approach creates a powerful compound effect over time, leading to substantial progress without feeling overwhelming. The episode highlights that even if you're not adding new activities, making existing ones slightly better can yield remarkable results and foster a mindset of constant improvement. The podcast concludes by reinforcing the "Today, Not Tomorrow" philosophy, encouraging listeners to apply these three steps immediately to build powerful habits and accelerate their journey toward their goals.

Is TB in deer a growing concern for Irish hunters? What happens when you shoot a deer infected with TB, and what are the realities from a hunter's perspective? In this episode of the Conservation and Science podcast, we dive into the contentious topic of bovine tuberculosis in deer - an issue I've attempted to cover for over a year. While scientists seemed reluctant to discuss it publicly, this episode brings boots-on-the-ground truth from expert hunter Ashley Glover, who shares his firsthand experiences with TB-infected deer in Wicklow.Ashley explains how hunters can identify signs of tuberculosis when field dressing deer, noting that whilst most hunters may never encounter an infected animal, he found four TB-positive deer among his first twelve harvests in North Wicklow this season. We discuss the practical challenges hunters face when discovering a TB-infected carcass - from the unclear notification protocols to the costly disposal options. Despite bovine TB being classified as a "notifiable disease" with supposedly free testing and licensed disposal, Ashley's experience reveals a different reality, including a €100 fee for fallen animal services to remove a single carcass.The conversation tackles the disconnect between what hunters are taught during training versus the realities in the field, particularly when shooting deer late on a Friday with limited options for proper disposal. We explore the localised nature of TB in deer populations, which appears concentrated in certain areas of Wicklow rather than nationwide. This episode provides essential knowledge for hunters on identifying TB in deer and navigating the practical challenges of responsible carcass management, while highlighting the need for improved protocols within Ireland's wildlife and TB eradication programmes.Subscribe to Tommy's Outdoors: Conservation and Science NewsletterSupport the Podcast and Buy Me a Coffee.Recommended Books: tommysoutdoors.com/booksMerch: tommysoutdoors.com/shopFollow Tommy's Outdoors on Bluesky, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube and FacebookMentioned in this episode:DOWNLOAD:How to Get Started in Deer Hunting in IrelandDisclaimerThe views and opinions expressed in this podcast are those of the individual participants and do not necessarily reflect the official policy or position of any organisation.

In this Episode: In this episode of the Achieve Results Now podcast, Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt tackle the pervasive issue of self-sabotage, particularly how it prevents individuals from achieving their goals, even when working hard. They argue that self-sabotage often manifests as focusing on low-priority tasks, fearing big challenges, and making excuses, rather than taking high-value actions. They propose three action steps to overcome self-sabotage: 1.    Set Yourself Up for Success with Small, Intentional Changes: The hosts emphasize breaking down seemingly overwhelming tasks into tiny, manageable steps. They advocate for not assigning difficulty to tasks and scheduling even short, 15-minute high-priority actions to ensure they get done. Preparation, like having materials ready, is also crucial to prevent small hurdles from becoming excuses. 2.    Challenge and Reframe Your Inner Dialogue: This step focuses on confronting negative self-talk and imposter syndrome. The hosts suggest asking empowering questions like "Is someone less capable than me doing this right now?" and actively replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. They highlight the importance of reframing past experiences and setting aspirational goals based on future potential, not past limitations. Surrounding yourself with inspiring individuals and mentors who have achieved what you aspire to is also vital. 3.    Practice Self-Compassion and Build Resilience: Acknowledging that setbacks are a natural part of any journey is key. The hosts stress the importance of not judging yourself harshly for minor slip-ups but instead treating yourself with the same compassionate yet direct advice you'd offer a friend. They emphasize focusing on "progress, not perfection," looking back at how far you've come rather than only at the distant goal, to build mental and physical strength to take on more challenges. Ultimately, the episode encourages listeners to confront their internal barriers, take deliberate small actions, and foster a resilient mindset to achieve life-shifting results.

In this Episode: The Achieve Results Now podcast episode focuses on how to interrupt negative or unproductive autopilot patterns in life to achieve better results. Hosts Mark Cardone and Theron Feidt explain that while habits (autopilot) can increase efficiency, they can also hinder progress if they are not serving our goals. They introduce three actionable steps to interrupt these patterns: 1.    Ask Yourself an Interrupting Question: When you recognize you're in a negative or unwanted pattern, ask yourself a pointed question to break the cycle of overthinking and emotion. Examples include: "What's the next best move I can make?", "Is this the best use of my time right now?", "What good can come out of this?", "Is this going to be important next week/month/year?". These questions shift focus and encourage positive action. 2.    Change Your Environment: A simple yet effective way to disrupt a pattern is to physically alter your surroundings. This can be as small as moving to a different room, going outside, or visiting a coffee shop. Even a mini break involving a change of posture, deep breathing, or a short walk can shift your mental and physical state. 3.    Build an Anchor Phrase: Create a short, empowering phrase you can say when you feel yourself slipping into an unwanted pattern. This phrase acts as a mental anchor, bringing you back to a more positive and intentional state. Saying the phrase out loud, especially while in a positive emotional state, strengthens its impact. Examples include: "I got this," "Let's go," or personal mantras. The hosts emphasize that recognizing patterns is the first step, and consistently using these three techniques can help break negative cycles and build new, more productive ones. Mastery involves using these techniques proactively, before fully falling into the old pattern. While simple, these steps require conscious effort and consistency to yield life-shifting results.

Tracy Rodgers shares how she went from living in low-income housing to building a network marketing team of over 45,000 and generating more than $10 million in monthly sales.Tracy shares her raw, transparent story filled with ups and downs, self-sabotage, breakthrough moments, and her return to the profession that changed her life forever. If you've ever felt stuck or doubted your path in network marketing, this episode will reignite your belief and drive.Her Humble BeginningsTracy's journey began as a single mom of four living in a small town. She joined her first direct sales company because it was free to start. Though the products were unattractive and the tools were minimal, she jumped in with hope and energy.She had early success due to her personality, but her unwillingness to get out of her comfort zone caused her teams to collapse. Repeated cycles of starting over led to frustration and burnout, eventually pushing her to leave the industry for a while.The Turning Point in 2017In 2017, Tracy had a breakthrough when a new opportunity reignited her passion. She decided that she couldn't do things the same way and expect different results. That led her to read You Are a Badass by Jen Sincero multiple times and dig deep into personal development.She made a list of 120 names and committed to calling 10 people a day. Although 100 people told her “no,” the 20 people who said “yes” helped her build a massive organization.Facing Rejection and Building ResilienceOne of the most impactful moments was when Tracy got harshly rejected on her ninth phone call during her outreach. It was so discouraging that she almost quit. But instead, she kept going—and that decision changed everything. Within months, her team exploded.Tracy learned that success comes just beyond the point where most people give up. As Simon quoted: “The temptation to quit is greatest when success is right around the corner.”Tracy's Daily Method of Operation (DMO)Tracy believes consistency and intention are key to long-term success. Here's her simple DMO:Write down the 6 most important tasks the night beforePrioritize follow-ups, customer calls, social media engagement, and team trainingCarry over any unfinished tasks to the next day's top 6Break your day into four 15-minute Power Hour blocksStay grounded in personal development dailyUsing Faith to Guide Her BusinessTracy openly shares how her faith transformed her business. She dedicates her business to God and wears her “Prayer is in My Business Plan” shirt as a daily reminder. Surrendering her goals and decisions to God helped her manage stress and find peace in the process.She believes when you lead with integrity, intention, and faith, not only will you attract the right people to your business—but also to your spiritual walk.Advice for New Network MarketersIf you're starting from scratch, Tracy's advice is clear:Take your business everywhere—your mouth is your officeCompliment people and start conversations everywhere you goWeave your product or opportunity naturally into lifeJoin local networking or school groupsFocus on creating relationships, not just posting onlineFavorite Quotes by Tracy Rodgers“Your success is determined by the number of lives you impact.”“Be the best version of YOU that God created you to be.”“Successful people just do the basics better.”Tracy's Go-To Prospecting MethodOld-school still works. Tracy prefers to get prospects on the phone instead of just sending a link. This allows her to ask questions, understand their needs, and present a solution based on connection—not automation.Recommended Books by Tracy RodgersThe Game of Conquering by Rob SperryThe Consistency Pill by Simon ChanYou Are a Badass by Jen SinceroI Will Until by Darren KiddConnect with Tracy RodgersFacebook: Tracy RogersInstagram: @TracyRogersFinal TakeawayTracy Rodgers' story proves that with the right mindset, faith, and action—anyone can create success in network marketing.
