I explore six powerful lessons from taking nearly three weeks completely unplugged from work, showing how presence, rhythm, and intentional boundaries can bring peace and clarity to life and business. This summer's three-week RV trip with my family changed me in ways I didn't expect. I unplugged more deeply than I ever have since starting my business in 2010, and it was a complete reset for my mind, body, and spirit. In this episode, I'm opening up about the powerful lessons I brought home from that stillness, things about trusting my body, honoring my natural rhythm, and letting go of what doesn't serve me. My hope is that you'll find inspiration to create your own space for rest and clarity, no matter how long you can step away. - Listen to your body: Pay attention to physical and emotional signals, they're guiding you toward alignment, not working against you. - Honor your natural rhythm: Protect the pace that fuels your best energy and creativity, making it non-negotiable in your schedule. - Recognize the life you already have: Notice the moments that feel like your dream life and intentionally create more of them now. - Let go of being everything to everyone: Release the urge to hold everything together for others and prioritize what supports you back. - Redesign your work habits: Set tech boundaries that protect your energy, like limiting email checks or removing autopilot social media scrolling.

On this episode, David Wollen and special guest Mark Meynell discuss topics ranging from transhumanism to what it looks like to trust God in this moment in history.

Are you in your late 40s or beyond?If so, you have decades of valuable experience, a powerful network, and a laundry list of success metrics. But lately, you may be feeling stuck in your career. * You're no longer moving up. * You're watching your younger colleagues get promoted. * Recruiters ghost you more often now. * Job interviews stall out even when you think you interviewed well. You're too experienced for entry-level or mid-level roles. And when you aim for more senior leadership or executive roles, you discover they want someone with 25 years of experience who's only 35 years old. Heaven help you if you get laid off now. It's not a pretty job market for anyone, especially an older worker. “People laid off at higher ages are less likely to move into a new field than those who quit, said Kevin Cahill, an economist at FTI Consulting. “Ageism and higher compensation expectations can be obstacles to re-employment, he said.” (source)* It takes nearly 26 weeks, on average, for people ages 55 to 64 to find a job, compared with 19 weeks for people ages 25 to 34, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.* Older career workers who find new jobs take an 11% pay cut, on average, according to a forthcoming study Cahill co-wrote.So, why not take an early retirement? Well, I bet you're not there yet. Financially, emotionally, or physically. The sad truth is that people who retire sooner die earlier. Believe me, you're not alone in feeling this way and facing this issue. This “messy middle” of our professional careers is real, and it's brutal.But it's also where your next move can be your most powerful. I know it doesn't feel like it right now, but reinventing yourself can lead to living the best years of your life. I'm living proof, and there are lots of us who have done it. It's been over 15 years since I fled my old corporate career to pivot into something new. I built my own businesses, started working out every day, and reinvested in my most important relationships. My sense of loss and depression shifted into joy and fulfillment. I've never been happier! The Messy Middle You're not imagining things, and it's not just you. The job market has shifted under your feet while the economy has been struggling, and political chaos ensues. * Good roles are becoming rarer, and expectations are higher.* Companies are cutting layers of middle and senior management.* They are also eliminating entry-level roles and leaning on fewer employees augmented with AI. * Ageism is real (especially in tech and startups), but hard to prove. * AI is quietly replacing parts of your job.* Younger, cheaper hires are more appealing than the cost of more experienced employees.You didn't do anything wrong. But the system isn't built for you anymore.“The tide has definitely turned against tech workers,” said Catherine Bracy, the founder and chief executive of TechEquity, a nonprofit that pushes for economic inclusion in the industry. “Companies have even more leverage to use against workers, and A.I. is supercharging that.” (source)Traditional Career Advice Fails You “Just update your LinkedIn and polish your resume! Start easy applying to hundreds of jobs every week.”Yeah… no. When you've had a long, complex career, playing the “cold-apply resume” game is a sure-fire way to lose. The hiring process is automated and biased. Most online applications are dead ends, and older workers are screwed. You need a new strategy for this new game.Your leverage is different nowAt this stage of your career, you have leverage that younger people don't. Stop being shy about using your advantages!* Relationships: The network you've built for decades is more powerful than you think.* Reputation: People know your name. They've seen your work. They already trust you.* Experience: You've led, built, scaled, failed, recovered, and learned. Your insights are rare and valuable.Three paths out of the messy middle1. Reposition and rebrand2. Redesign your role3. Find more purposeI go into more detail in the podcast audio, so scroll up, hit play, and listen. Real stories of reinvention * David Jesse - Executive Product Leader, advisor, coach, and founder of Crescendo Product Group * Ha Nguyen - Founder and Managing Partner at NextStep Advisors * Maureen Wiley Clough - Host of It Gets Late Early, a podcast and community of tech employees bringing awareness to ageismNone of them waited for someone to “give them a shot.” They stopped playing the game that was rigged against them. They created their next opportunity.You can too.What to do this monthHere's your 3-step personal challenge:* Rewrite one part of the “Story of You”What's the outdated identity or job title you're clinging to? Rewrite your LinkedIn headline and About section to reflect who you are now and who you want to become. * Reignite one dormant relationshipSomeone in your network already knows your value. Reach out, reconnect, and have a real conversation. I created a free CRM to help with this. * Map out your next move If you weren't looking for a job, what kind of business might you build? What problem could you solve? How could you repackage your skills as an offer to a client? Let's define your “Next Act” togetherDoes all of this feel familiar? Did this article hit a nerve? Good! That means you're ready.You don't have to figure this out alone.

You don't build an empire selling $.15 hamburgers. You build an empire on the land that those hamburgers are made of. Power of the name, branding, McDonald's is the new American church on main street. A vision of a wholesome America, families go to eat share values. Branding see that name lit up on the sign.

McDonalds has built a business empire thru Real Estate, not burgers.  The Dollar Menu is designed to get customers in the door. McDonalds loses $ when people purchase from the dollar menu, it is a Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC). This is also called a ‘Loss Leader', selling a product at a low cost to get customers. McDonalds then makes money when people buy more, and off return business. McDonalds is one of the biggest Real Estate companies in the world. The stock is valued on the $37 Billion in Real Estate they own. They make money as a landlord, because the franchisee is their tenant. The Founder – business movie biography of Ray Kroc. Kroc started as a milk shake salesmen to the McDonalds brothers in California, then went on to create the franchise system we know today. The first President of McDonalds Franchise (Harry Sonneborn) helped Kroc create the real estate model that the franchise was base on, and used to scale to a billion $ company. Internally McDonalds used the Brother's Speedee Service System created pre-Kroc. The Question ‘What Business Are You In?' comes from business consultant Peter Drucker. Business owners need to understand what problem or service they really offer their customers.

This episode, we're pausing the hustle to take a big-picture look at what really matters in both business and life. Danielle Hayden, CEO of Kickstart Accounting, Inc., sits down with Taylor Thompson, founder of Personal Brand House, bestselling author of More Life, podcast host, and national speaker, to talk about what it means to build a business that gives you more life, not just more work and revenue.  Taylor brings a refreshing take on entrepreneurship—less “do more,” more “do what matters to you”. From overcoming burnout to designing a lifestyle-first business model, Taylor shares personal insights, financial mindset wisdom, and actionable steps to help you avoid deathbed regret and define success on your terms. Key Takeaways:  Define Your “Enough”: Growth is great, but not if it's at the cost of the things that really matter to you in life. Know what enough looks like for you and structure your business to support that.  Start with the Life You Want: Reverse-engineer your business model based on your ideal calendar, energy, and goals—not arbitrary revenue benchmarks.  Zone of Genius ≠ Zone of Aliveness: Just because you're good at something doesn't mean it should be your business. Fulfillment matters just as much as skill.  Detach Your Worth from Your Numbers: Your financials aren't a report card. Use them as a tool for informed decisions, not as a reflection for your identity.  Pause to Notice Meaningful Moments: “More life” isn't only about having more stuff. It's about feeling more joy, presence, and alignment in everyday moments.  Topics Discussed: (01:05 – 03:52) Taylor's Mission: Helping others avoid deathbed regrets with tactical strategies to build businesses that prioritize what matters most to them (03:53 – 06:28) Reclaiming Freedom: Monetizing a Personal Brand & Restructuring Your Business Model to Work Smarter, Not Harder (06:29 – 10:14) Trading Time for Money and Why Knowing Your “Enough” is Essential (10:15 – 13:56) Two Exercises: How to Figure Out What You Really Want & How Much Time and Money You Need to Get That  (13:58 – 16:10) What a Lifestyle Business Looks Like: Calendar-First, Value-Aligned, Purpose-Driven (16:11 – 18:15) The “More Life” Concept and How You Can Implement It Logistically (18:16 – 21:09) Creating “More Life” for Yourself Even as a Workaholic (21:18 – 25:09) Detaching Self-Worth from Financial Performance and Using Data Over Drama (25:10 – 26:29) How to Explore What Having “More Life” Feels Like (26:33 – 28:47) Where You Can Connect & Find Taylor Thompson's Work   Resources: Taylor's Book | More Life Work with Taylor | https://www.heytaylorthompson.com/pbm  Follow Taylor on IG | @TheTaylorThompson Taylor's Podcast | High Performer   Book a Call with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: https://www.kickstartaccountinginc.com/book    Connect with Kickstart Accounting, Inc.: Instagram | https://www.instagram.com/Kickstartaccounting YouTube | https://www.youtube.com/@businessbythebooks  Facebook | https://www.facebook.com/kickstartaccountinginc

  The recent Donkey Kong redesign featured in Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza got us thinking about other video game character redesigns. When companies decide it's time for a character to get a new outfit, haircut, or entirely new look, you can always count on people having strong opinions, and we're no exception as we list our favorite game character redesigns of all time.  After that, we talk about Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3 + 4, more EA Sports College Football 26, some Nintendo news, and Uno, for some reason.  Question of the Week: What's your least favorite character redesign, games or otherwise?  Vidjagame Apocalypse theme by Matthew Joseph Payne.

How do you transform banks that have been built over centuries for a world where artificial intelligence operates 10 times faster than the digital revolution? We're not just talking about implementing new technology; we're reimagining banking for customers who interact daily with AI assistants and may soon entrust their money management entirely to intelligent systems. However, banks that rush into action without understanding their organizational and cultural legacies will find their investments yielding disappointing results. The issue isn't the technology; it's that we equate activity with progress, making top-down decisions that overlook what's happening on the ground. Our guest on the Banking Transformed podcast, Sophie Heller, is the newly appointed Chief Transformation Officer at BNP Paribas CPBS, bringing a unique perspective that combines strategic technology leadership with deep insights from behavioral sciences and organizational sociology. Today, we explore why the pause before progress might be more important than the speed of implementation, how behavioral sciences are becoming essential tools for transformation leaders, and what it takes to redesign banking for an AI-powered world. Welcome to Shaping Banking's Next – podcast episodes hosted by Jim Marous and brought to you by Infosys Finacle and Qorus Global. These compelling episodes are inspired by the ‘Innovation in Retail Banking' research, a report that has been tracking innovation trends, investment priorities, emerging business models, and real-world case studies for over 15 years. In these episodes, visionaries, changemakers, and digital pioneers from the world's leading banks will share how they're driving innovation, transforming the banking value chain, and reimagining the future of banking. Join them as they explore bold strategies, innovative business models and next-gen technologies shaping the industry today and defining what's next.

What happens when AI moves from experimental tool to everyday shopping assistant? In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Liva Ralaivola, Head of the Criteo AI Lab, to unpack how artificial intelligence is reshaping the way we discover, compare, and purchase products online. Speaking to me from the south of France, Liva shares insights from Criteo's latest consumer research, revealing that 91 percent of shoppers expect AI-personalised recommendations within the next two years. We explore why that shift is happening so quickly, what it means for retailers, and the challenges of balancing innovation with transparency. From price comparisons to budget planning and dynamic creative generation, shoppers are already using AI tools in ways that few could have predicted even a year ago. We also discuss the complexity of integrating AI into retail environments, where business constraints, stock levels, and customer expectations vary dramatically. Liva highlights how Criteo is tailoring deep learning models to improve relevance, optimise campaigns, and support ethical outcomes. He also explains why AI is not yet plug-and-play, and why collaboration between AI specialists and business teams is key to unlocking real value. Looking ahead, Liva shares his thoughts on how data may evolve into a kind of personal currency, with users controlling what they share and how much personalisation they receive. From AI wallets to loyalty programs driven by interaction history, the landscape is changing fast—and businesses need to be ready. So what's your take? Are consumers ready to control their own data in exchange for more relevant experiences? And how should retailers rethink personalisation in an age of growing privacy expectations? Let me know your thoughts and join the conversation.

It's a slowish news week ahead of some very busy news weeks, so of course Nilay and David start the show with a long discussion about party speakers. Eventually, they get into the news, beginning with some of the huge Apple redesigns planned for WWDC in June. For the first time in a long time, the stakes for Apple's software teams feel really high. After that, the hosts talk about Nilay's recent interview with Google CEO Sundar Pichai, and what the AI-ification of everything means for the future of the web. Finally, in the lightning round, it's time for another Brendan Carr is a Dummy, plus some talk about the Nintendo Switch 2, a bit of confusing tariff news, and more.
