On this show, I cut through the noise to give you real, actionable strategies that help independent restaurant owners run smarter, more successful businesses.In this episode, I dig into one of the toughest parts of leadership: firing. I explain why it isn't a failure but a form of maintenance that protects your team, culture, and long-term success. You'll learn how to identify performance issues early, make fair and informed decisions, and create a system that supports accountability without losing empathy. TakeawaysFiring should be seen as maintenance, not failure.Keeping mediocre managers can be more costly than firing them.Performance management is about diagnosing issues before dismissing employees.Not every performance problem is a people problem; sometimes it's about systems.Clarity, capability, and care are key factors in employee performance.Firing protects standards and culture, not just punishes individuals.Every firing should lead to a review and improvement of systems.Documenting what broke helps prevent future issues.Refining roles is more important than simply refilling them.Share insights about firing practices to help others in similar situations.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Restaurant Success Strategies01:02 Understanding Employee Performance Management05:44 Implementing Effective Firing PracticesIf you've got a marketing or profitability related question for me, email me directly at josh@joshkopel.com and include Office Hours in the subject line.

No doubt you were hired to sell insurance. But did your agency leadership make you FIRST prove that you can prospect to set appointments? I would suspect probably not. And, that's why so many insurance producers fail and don't make it -- or at least why they don't make enough money. They are good at relationship building and closing business, but they just can't set enough appointments. In this throwback episode of the Millionaire Insurance Producer podcast, host Charles Specht will talk about what you need to start saying in order to set more new business appointments with your prospects. After all, prospecting is a numbers-game but selling insurance is a relationship-game. Key Topics: The dual careers in insurance: prospecting versus selling insurance. Why poor prospecting skills often lead to failure and how to fix them. The importance of a defined process for setting appointments. Overcoming objections like gatekeepers and timing issues. Crafting simple, relatable messaging to connect with prospects. Balancing numbers in prospecting with relationships in selling insurance. Refining prospecting skills or outsourcing to avoid stagnation. Reach out to Charles Specht Visit: Permission Network Produced by PodSquad.fm

In this episode of Building Better Developers, hosts Rob Broadhead and Michael Meloche continue their conversation with Agustin Morrone, CEO and co-founder of Vintti, a company improving the remote hiring process for U.S. and Canadian businesses across Latin America. From his base in Barcelona, Agustin explains how Vintti combines AI, automation, and cultural alignment to build remote teams faster while keeping people at the center. Vintti's mission remains clear: help companies hire top Latin American talent in under 21 days, saving up to 60 percent on payroll while maintaining quality and trust. In Part 2, we explore how Vintti's evolving systems make the remote hiring process smarter and more scalable. Using AI to Strengthen the Remote Hiring Process Vintti's young, tech-driven team approaches work with an “AI-first mindset.” Rather than replacing people, AI removes repetitive tasks that slow down the remote hiring process. Originally, every interview was manual. Now, AI manages more than half of all first-round interviews, rating English proficiency and technical expertise. Recruiters then step in to evaluate communication style and cultural fit. “AI helps us focus on what matters most,” Agustin says. “It saves time and allows our recruiters to build stronger relationships.” Automation Tools That Simplify Remote Recruitment Vintti automates much of its communication and reporting to improve efficiency. Instead of sending raw resumes, it builds custom, client-ready CVs using AI. Each profile merges data from interviews, LinkedIn, and client discussions into a consistent, easy-to-read document. Automated follow-ups and feedback loops help recruiters stay engaged throughout the remote hiring process, keeping clients informed without losing the human connection. Automation drives consistency, but empathy drives connection. Human Insight: The Key to Remote Hiring Success AI helps identify top candidates, yet it can't replace intuition. Recruiters still assess tone, enthusiasm, and motivation—critical elements of cultural fit. Similarly, Vintti maintains personal conversations with each client to understand company culture before sourcing talent. This ensures every step of the hiring process reflects both human judgment and data-driven insight. Testing, Learning, and Improving the Remote Hiring Process Experimentation fuels progress at Vintti. Recruiters rely heavily on LinkedIn but constantly test new tools to expand reach and reduce friction. “We test, compare, and adapt,” Agustin explains. “If a tool adds value, we scale it. If not, we move on.” This culture of experimentation keeps the hiring process innovative and resilient. Cultural Patterns in Global Recruiting Regional patterns help Vintti understand candidate strengths. Colombian professionals often shine in customer support, Argentines excel in sales, and Mexican talent frequently leads in finance. However, Agustin cautions against stereotyping. “Patterns are helpful, but people are unique,” he says. That perspective ensures fairness and flexibility in every hiring process decision. Supporting Global Teams After Placement Once hired, contractors integrate fully into client organizations. Vintti provides behind-the-scenes support—helping with taxes, communication skills, and professional development—while avoiding cultural interference. Support Principle: Empower independence and provide structure. This hands-off guidance strengthens relationships and keeps the hiring process transparent from start to finish. Discipline and Growth in the Hiring Journey Internally, Agustin looks for self-motivated people who take ownership. He values discipline over motivation, believing that commitment leads to better long-term outcomes. “Motivation fades, but discipline lasts,” he explains. This mindset ensures every member of the Vintti team contributes to refining the hiring process daily. The Future of the Remote Hiring Process Agustin believes AI will reshape global recruiting. While some jobs will change, others will grow. Vintti plans to: Identify new skill trends early. Use automation and AI to make hiring faster and smarter. “Companies that work with AI—not against it—will win,” Agustin concludes. Key Takeaway Agustin Morrone's story shows that the modern remote hiring process depends on balance. AI delivers speed and consistency, while people provide connection and understanding. Together, they build stronger teams worldwide. Learn more about their mission at www.vintti.com.

You'll learn why autumn (the Metal season) is the time to refine the “fruit” of summer into concentrated value, how lungs + large intestine govern this season, and practical ways to let go, grieve, and regain focus without pushing or hustling against your body's rhythm. Listen For Why fall is the season of distilling your efforts into what's truly valuable The difference between instinct (Po) and intuition (Shen)—and why instinct leads in autumn How grief shows up in the lungs (and a sound practice to release it) The role of the large intestine in letting go—physically and emotionally What Facyin is and why tending fascia frees flow, focus, and vitality A simple acupressure point to support grief release (LI-4, the “web” of your hand) Chapter Timestamps 00:00 Welcome & why seasonal energetics matter03:05 Meet Sheri: RMT, yoga teacher, creator of Facyin06:40 Sheri's 2024 heart-health story: shock, surrender & the weight of emotions14:45 Fascia 101: the body's sensory matrix & why fluidity = flow20:28 Aromatherapy kinesiology & moving from lower → higher vibration25:40 Five Elements 101: Yin/Yang & the five seasons (hello, Metal)29:10 Fall = Metal: distilling, purifying, and working with what's most valuable33:02 Instinct (Po) vs. Intuition (Shen): why instinct leads this season37:30 Lungs + Large Intestine: what they govern & how to support them41:05 Grief release: the “ssssss” lung sound practice (use audible → whisper → silent)44:18 Acupressure LI-4 (hand web) for moving grief + pairing with breath/sound47:55 Why pushing right now backfires (and what to do instead)51:10 Facyin: fascia + yin sequences for seasonal support54:20 Foods & gentle practices that nourish Metal season58:15 Final takeaways: relax to receive, move to metabolize emotion1:00:30 Where to find Sheri + how to join her classes Key Takeaways Autumn asks for refinement, not acceleration. Distill summer's effort into the few “gold” priorities that matter. The lung + large intestine pair rule this season: inhale the essential, exhale/release the rest. Grief is normal now. Let it move: breath, sound (“ssssss”), tears, and gentle movement are medicine. Try LI-4 acupressure (the thumb–index web) while breathing out “ssssss” to help grief move. Fascia work (rolling, melting, yin holds) restores fluidity so energy and emotion can flow. Ask weekly: What gets released? What stays? What is the purified “value” I'm building with now? Gentle Fall Practices (Try These) 3–5 minutes of the “ssssss” lung sound (audible → whisper → silent) once or twice daily LI-4 acupressure holds during exhale (30–60 seconds per hand) A short Facyin sequence (yin shapes that trace lung/large intestine lines + slow breath) Nourish with in-season foods (warm, mineral-rich, simple; think pears, ginger, congee/broths) One weekly refinement ritual: list everything you're doing → circle the “gold” → release the rest About Our Guest — Sheri Registered Massage Therapist (since 2003) specializing in fascia Yoga instructor & Role Model® Method practitioner Practitioner of Aromatherapy Kinesiology (Blossoming Heart) Creator of Facyin: a fascia-forward yin practice designed to move energy, metabolize emotion, and align with the seasons Heart-health survivor and advocate for emotion-informed healing Resources Mentioned Sheri's classes: Facyin at The Alchemy (Wednesdays 7pm) — drop-in or series (add booking link) Sheri's website: https://www.sweetlightmagik.com/ Follow @thejackiemcdonald for weekly tapping & seasonal practices Shareable Quotes “Fall is the season of taking the pure from the impure—refining your harvest into gold.” “When we don't move on purpose, energy stagnates. Gentle movement is how we metabolize emotion.” “You don't have to push right now. Refine, release, and receive.” “Grief in the lungs isn't a problem to fix—it's a wave to let move.” Loved this?

Dave Rich examines the foundational ethical frameworks of deontology and teleology through a Christian lens. Deontology emphasizes rules-based ethics where acts conform to authoritative commands, while teleology focuses on purposes and intended results. Rich explores how secular systems like utilitarianism and ethical egoism attempt to establish moral authority apart from God, yet ultimately fail to answer the critical question: "Says who?"The presentation demonstrates that Christian ethics incorporates elements of deontology and teleology but grounds both in God's personal authority revealed through Scripture. Believers are called not merely to follow rules or pursue favorable outcomes, but to obey God's commands while cultivating right motivations and godly character. Through examining various philosophical systems—from Kantian categorical imperatives to utilitarian calculus—Rich shows how every secular attempt to establish ethics without God collapses under the weight of its own inconsistency. True Christian ethics recognizes that God's commands carry inherent authority, that our purposes must align with His glory, and that developing Christ-like character matters eternally. ★ Support this podcast ★

No one is immune to that.” “I want you to fail … because it is the only way that provides the opportunity to learn.” “If you do something right, you didn't learn a thing. But when you fail, when you do it wrong, you have the opportunity to learn from it.” “If my daughter had never gotten sick, I would have thought my purpose was in somebody's corporate office … and it wasn't until God showed me, through the tragedy of my daughter being sick, what really mattered.” “You can take the most attractive woman in the world … but then you hear her talk, and you hear how she talks about people and to people, and what's inside is just so corrosive and so nasty and ugly.

We revisit the five conditions outlined in June that are necessary for crude oil prices to start reflecting the expected year-end weakness, and suggest that September could be a turning point for the oil market. Global oil inventories built, but the rise in OECD stocks has been modest by comparison. In response, both Brent and WTI curves have flattened out and turned into a ‘smile.' Refining margins and runs surged in the third quarter, supporting a rebuilding of global product inventories, though stocks in certain regions and products remain below their five-year averages. As a result, refining margins have eased from their previous stratospheric highs, yet continue to hold up well.

Guido Guinizzelli has pointed to another figure in the purifying flames of Purgatory's seventh terrace. And now he steps forward, one of the greatest troubadour poets, a model of high-brow poetry and a writer of the sort of lusty verses that led to Francesca's downfall.Arnaut Daniel breaks COMEDY in some ways. He speaks in (a version of) medieval Provençal.
