Podcasts about refocusing

In this special episode of the Membership Geeks Podcast, I open up about the toughest moments and biggest challenges I've faced over a decade of running a membership business. As we kick off a month of anniversary content, I dive deep into pivotal decisions, unexpected setbacks, and the realities that most membership owners rarely talk about publicly. Whether you're just starting out or have been running your own membership for years, my honest reflections are here to shed light on what it really takes to keep going—especially when things get tough.In this episode:What were the most difficult decisions I had to make in the early days of launching and shifting my business model?How did I handle sudden competition from a well-funded, well-connected industry player—and what impact did it have on my mindset and business?In what ways did external crises like COVID-19 test my resilience and force me to adapt my membership offer and team structure?What was it like to experience internal challenges, such as letting my first team member go and navigating the unexpected departure of a cofounder—and how did these affect my business moving forward?Key Quotes & Takeaways:"If you've been listening to us for a while, you'll know that I never shy away from the uglier side of the membership world of business, and I always give it to you straight.""We couldn't compete with the black book, the huge financial backing, and the fact that they could incentivize others to portray them as this ever knowing, all knowing guru, and fast track them to their place in the industry by paying them a thousand dollars for every customer that they referred.""A lot of people kind of revealed what their true motivation was. And I've got to be honest, that that made me a lot more cynical about the online business world and the kind of people who were influential within it""You can never go wrong just refocusing on your people. Right? Refocusing on your members. Why you're doing it for them? What they need from you? How you can best serve them?"Thank You For ListeningWe really appreciate you choosing to listen to us and for supporting the podcast.

Could your supply chain be funding cartels without you realizing it? In today's complex global economy, companies are grappling with a dual challenge - the urgent need to unravel their supply chains and the immediate recalibration of due diligence systems to detect links to cartel and transnational criminal organizations (TCOs). With the Department of Justice sharpening its focus on both direct prosecutions and financial facilitators, global companies must prepare for heightened scrutiny. Michael breaks down the mounting risks, enforcement priorities, and practical steps companies must take to protect themselves from becoming unwitting participants in criminal operations.You'll hear him discuss:How DOJ's new two-pronged enforcement strategy is bringing corporate facilitators of cartels and TCOs into the crosshairsWhy traditional due diligence no longer goes far enough, especially with "Nth Party" risks buried deep in supply chainsHow cartels and TCOs exploit legitimate businesses in sectors like logistics, agriculture, mining, and constructionThe importance of identifying beneficial ownership and tracing complex corporate structures across jurisdictionsRed flags to watch for, from nominee arrangements and shell companies to unexplained wealth and layered financial flowsHow cartels are adapting with fake websites, fake bios, and cryptocurrency to mask illicit activitiesWhat companies must do to modernize their compliance systems with open-source tools and workflow automationWhy trade-based money laundering, remittance services, and decentralized platforms are growing areas of concernResourcesMichael Volkov on LinkedIn | TwitterThe Volkov Law Group

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, host David Carothers welcomes back Colby Tunick from ReFocus AI. Colby dives deep into the company's latest innovation that's transforming the way insurance agencies service policies. Refocus AI, which started with helping agencies predict customer churn, has now transitioned to automating one of the most time-consuming aspects of insurance — quoting policies. Colby shares how their new technology is helping agencies scale efficiently without burning out staff, allowing producers to focus on building relationships and growing their book of business. Key Highlights: The Problem of Time-Intensive Service Work Refocus AI began by addressing the issue of time spent servicing existing policies. Colby discusses how insurance agencies spend a significant portion of their time on renewals, quoting, and policy servicing, which takes away from their ability to acquire new business. Introducing IntelliAgent: The Virtual Assistant for Insurance Agencies Refocus AI's new tool, IntelliAgent, acts as a virtual assistant that automates the quoting process. This AI-powered system logs into carrier portals, retrieves rates, and delivers bindable quotes, freeing up agents' time to focus on client relationships. Scaling without Burning Out Colby explains how automating the quoting process can help agencies scale without adding significant headcount. It allows agencies to quote on multiple lines with various carriers simultaneously, drastically reducing the time spent on manual quoting tasks. Changing the Game for Small Commercial and Personal Lines For small commercial and personal lines business, agencies often struggle with quoting efficiency. Colby shares how technology like IntelliAgent is solving this problem, making it easier for agencies to serve more clients without overwhelming their teams. Expanding to the ENS Market Refocus AI's roadmap includes plans to expand into the ENS market, where underwriters are involved. By automating this process, Refocus AI will further streamline how agencies access bindable rates and service their clients, all while maintaining a high level of accuracy. Addressing Staff Burnout with Technology Colby shares the personal story of how working excessive hours led to burnout and a serious health condition. This experience fuels Refocus AI's mission to help agencies reduce unnecessary workload and increase staff retention by allowing employees to focus on high-value tasks. Future Innovations: Know Your Customer & MGA Marketplace Colby gives a sneak peek into two new innovations coming soon. The Know Your Customer module will make updating account information faster and more efficient, while the MGA Marketplace will help agencies quickly find coverage for policy exclusions and better options for motor sports, flood, earthquake, and more.

Today's episode is a check-in for the soul. We're talking about what it means to be in the middle of the year without falling into the trap of believing we've fallen behind. Our topic is Mid-Year, Not Mid-Setback - and if you've been feeling like your energy or momentum has slipped a bit, you are not alone.

Episode Overview In this episode, John Kitchens sits down with powerhouse real estate leader Jack Perry to explore how thinking like a CEO can elevate your business—even in fluctuating markets. Jack shares his journey from pastor to full-time real estate CEO, why positivity matters more than ever, and how creating a culture of community, mentorship, and accountability helped his team grow to 200+ agents. Key Topics Covered Embracing the Storm The importance of staying positive amid market uncertainties.  “People still buy homes…if you talk negative…your agents start feeling that.” How perseverance through 2009's downturn shaped Jack's leadership. Refocusing the “Why” Behind Buying Avoiding transactional fixation in favor of long-term living needs. Jack's own home purchased in 1988 still houses his family today—emphasizing the real purpose of homeownership. Building Culture Over Commission Cultivating team unity through mutual support (Slack-driven showings, monthly barbecues). Every agent—veteran or new—plays a vital role: “once a rockstar, always a mentor.” Leadership Through Service The power of empathy and hands‑on communication (texting/personal outreach to 200+ agents). Jack's servant leadership style is grounded in authenticity over ego. Empowering High Performers Encouraging ambition: “If you're comfortable doing 5–10 deals/year, we might not be a good fit.” Flagging complacency early; celebrating agents pushing 25–35 deals. Keeping Your Eye on the Long Game Social media as a window into intent and consistency. Insight gleaned from Daymond John's quote: "I look at your social media profile" to assess discipline. Qualifying and Coaching the Right Way Ask deeper questions to uncover client motivations and timelines. Remind clients of their original goals throughout the journey to avoid wheels spinning. Scaling with Integrity Protecting culture as team grows—self-policing, core values in action, not on the wall. Ego-free leadership and letting others operate and innovate within the organization. Resources & Strategies Mentioned Mentorship model inspired by Frank Shamrock's “plus-minus-equal” creed Frequent personal outreach “Outcome over ego” mentality drives collaboration in turbulent times “If you talk negative or doom and gloom…your agents start feeling that.” — Jack Perry   Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach   If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.

“The pastor's wife, in many ways, embodies the history of the Protestant church….Refocusing on her and putting her at the center helps us to understand the bigger picture of the role women play in church history and how women are overshadowed by these patriarchal structures.”  — Beth Allison Barr Historian and professor Beth Allison Barr joins us on the podcast to discuss women's leadership in the historical church and the cultural cost of forgetting our roots. What happens when historical evidence for women's leadership in church is buried and even forgotten? Historian and professor Beth Allison Barr joins us on the podcast to discuss her recent book Becoming the Pastor's Wife: How Marriage Replaced Ordination as a Woman's Path to Ministry. Beth traces the way centuries of women's leadership were swept aside as female ordination declined and the role of the pastor's wife was elevated in the white evangelical church. We talk about Beth's scholarship, including some of her practices regarding teaching and collaborative research, and we hear Beth's reflections on our current cultural moment and how we can thrive as women academics.

We can put our awareness on the space that thoughts are appearing  in rather than the thoughts themselves. When we do this we begin to see that nothing could exist without this contextual field here first for it to appear in." and "Thought of Awakening" #62.

"Out of the two of them, who do you think is the good witch and the bad witch? I would say Cathy's the good witch, Abby is definitely the bad witch!" It's ironic on the eve of the release of the Wicked movie that we get an episode that heavily centers on wicked witches, though the biggest witch of the all according to our bitches here can't even see the writing on the wall!The episode opens with Payton getting "cut" from the team (can you really be cut if you were never officially on the team?). After three weeks at the bottom of the Pyramid and last week's broken ankle debacle, tensions were running high between Abby and Leslie so Payton was ultimately asked to leave, for now at least. Refocusing on the team, Abby seems to not care too much that the group brought home. victory at the last competition and starts to work the girls against one another. Chloe and Kendall are each given a solo with the intent of settling who truly deserves to be Abby's number 2.Cathy returns with an all boy's team to spice up the competition, which send Abby into an angry spiral. To push back against her nemesis Abby decides the group dance will be about witches, with Maddie portraying a "good witch" as a stand in for Abby. Meanwhile Christi and Jill prep their daughter's solos and the moms start to get a little heated with one another. Jill is convinced Christi is getting a leg up while Christi is upset that Abby won't finish the choreography or her daughter's big dance.Quotes“Hold on, let Kelly choke to death first. Our poor Kelly. She needs to get better so she can go back to being a bitch. Cause when you're sick I can't be mean to you." (1:55-2:05 | Christi)“I don't know. I'm not a doctor, nor do I play one on a podcast." (10:50-10:53 | Christi)“I wonder what the card said? Sorry for being late? I don't know, please don't torture me on national television I beg of you?" (46:22-46:31 | Christi & Kelly)“I don't know is this news? I don't know. Doesn't feel newsworthy to me.

Even the "Luckiest People in the World" must continually refocus because things constantly change. Reviewing your unique strengths, re-evaluating what fascinates and motivates you, and evaluating your impact on your community can revitalize you. You can use your toolbox, especially the Community Profiler and the Battery Tracker. Perhaps even step into a new project.

It's easy to sit back and coast for the last few months of the year, but this period (also sometimes referred to as the "winter arc") is a great opportunity to refocus and gradually implement some new habits prior to the craziness of the new year.

We're getting ready for the release of "Feeding The Mouth That Bites You" second edition. This gives Jessica and Dr. Ken the chance to clarify the most important themes that are unique to this approach to parenting adolescents. Today we review individuation which is the most important need that adolescents have by far. This need is so important that Dr. Ken even worries that if your teen doesn't seem to be pushing for autonomy that's not a good thing at all. Also, we take on common misperceptions like individuation is "just like when they were a 2 year old." WRONG!
