Not all problems are created equal, and trying to solve them all the same way is likely to result in frustration. In this episode, Helen and Sarah explore how to identify whether you are facing a tame, critical, or wicked problem and the specific approach needed to make progress on each. Drawing on the work of Keith Grint, they explore what it means to develop this skill, and what your default response to it reveals about you.

In week seven, Paul reframes stress by showing us that the strength to endure life's challenges is found not within ourselves, but in Christ. Reframing Stress Zane Witcher

God loves it when you talk to him.

People are going to make mistakes. As the leader of a team, how do we help people move from the mindset of failure as a character flaw to seeing failure as a moment for growth?: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/the-center-for-medical-simulation/id1279266822 How do we separate out the part of us that's aware that mistakes are required from us for growth and the part that feels like we've done a crime when we make an error? We can know intellectually that preventable error is a part of experience, but still have a part that wants to be perfect and experiences shame when we aren't. Workout of the week: Reframe a mistake that you or someone else made in a way that allows you to learn from it productively.

Kathryn Nave is a Leverhulme Trust Early Career Fellow at the University of Edinburgh, and the author of the book A Drive to Survive: The Free Energy Principle and the Meaning of Life. In the book, Kate dives deep into the free energy principle and active inference, which are popular approaches to studying brains, minds, and organisms in general, and which are being used in artificial intelligence. Ultimately, Kate finds these approaches come up short as explanatory frameworks for life, and autonomy, and intelligence. Instead, Kate and many others advocate a framework that Kate calls constraint closure or closure of constraints, but also goes by the name organizational closure. This is a concept from philosophy and theoretical biology that people like Alvaro Moreno and Matteo Mossio have put forth in their 2015 book Biological Autonomy. The core ideas are also found in various forms from people like Robert Rosen, Stuart Kauffman, Alicia Juarrero, Terrence Deacon, and others. We discuss what constraint closure is, why Kate thinks it's a solid foundation to build on, and what if anything it means for cognitive science and brain sciences to embrace this constraint closure view. I highly recommend the book even if you're looking for a primer on the free energy principle and active inference. As we discuss, Kate's journalism experience has helped her become a wonderful communicator of these notoriously difficult concepts. Kathryn Nave @kathrynnave; @kathrynnave.eurosky.social.

For generations, many Christians have been taught to fear the devil, demons, and spiritual warfare. But what if we've been asking the wrong questions? What if many of the assumptions we've inherited deserve a fresh look through the lens of Jesus?In this episode of Two Pastors and a Mic, we continue our Reframe series by exploring one of the most misunderstood subjects in Christianity. Instead of approaching spiritual warfare through fear, we examine what Scripture actually says about Satan, the devil, demons, accusation, ego, and the finished work of Christ.Together we discuss:• Why so much of modern spiritual warfare teaching creates fear instead of freedom• What the words "Satan" and "devil" actually mean in Scripture• The difference between external evil and the internal voice of accusation• Why the battlefield is often our thinking, not our surroundings• How Jesus completely defeated the power of accusation through the cross• What it means to live from victory instead of constantly fighting for it00:00 - Introduction & The Reframe Series02:33 - Our God Reigns04:20 - Why We Need to Reframe Spiritual Warfare09:29 - The Battlefield Is the Mind10:56 - Reframing the Devil13:37 - Why This Conversation Matters16:25 - What the Bible Really Says About Demons20:18 - What Does "Satan" Actually Mean?25:05 - How the Devil Operates Today28:23 - Ego, Trauma & Law-Based Thinking34:18 - Influence vs. Possession36:44 - Christ Defeated Every Accusation39:01 - Stand in the Finished Work of Jesus40:16 - Living Free From Fear42:19 - Closing Challenge & Final Encouragement

Matt Edelman serves as Chairman, Chief Executive Officer, and President, with responsibility for the company's strategy, capital allocation, operations, and long-term growth. Appointed CEO in April 2025 after serving as President and Chief Commercial Officer, Matt architected a comprehensive corporate restructuring, strengthening the company's balance sheet and raising more than $26 million in six months, culminating in a $20 million private placement in October 2025. Prior to his appointment as CEO, Matt drove more than 20x revenue growth, led multiple M&A transactions, oversaw hundreds of brand partnerships, supported the company's successful NASDAQ IPO, and helped establish Super League as a defining force in the emerging category of playable media.   To know more about Matt visit his LinkedIn: @mattedelman   Episode Summary:   Matt Edelman has spent over 30 years at the intersection of media, gaming, and emerging tech — starting at Marvel in the 1990s, helping launch Marvel.com, moving through WME/IMG's global live-events business, and now leading Super League as its Chairman, CEO, and President. In this conversation, Matt walks through his "meandering" career path, what it took to raise $26 million while restructuring Super League from an esports company into a platform that helps brands reach the "gamified consumer," and the leadership lessons he's picked up along the way — from building trust with his team to spotting emerging categories before they have a name.   Key Takeaways:   - Follow where you can have impact, not just what's exciting - More people play video games than watch sports - Reframe the audience to shift perception - Trust is a leader's most important asset - Curiosity drives good leadership, but it needs a check - Younger generations are wired for gamified experiences - Build a personal board of advisors - The human side of your story matters as much as your business story   Episode Chapters:   00:00 – Episode teaser: the stats on gamers vs. sports fans 00:40 – Welcome & guest introduction 01:42 – Welcome, Matt 01:58 – Matt's origin story: from investment banking to Los Angeles 03:36 – The Marvel years: launching Marvel.com and riding the dot-com wave 11:20 – What Super League is and why it matters 16:34 – Matt's evolution as CEO and the importance of trust 19:15 – Listener support shoutout (top 2% of podcasts globally) 19:55 – What inspires Matt: solving business puzzles 22:08 – What legacy Matt wants to leave 23:35 – What's next for Super League and the gamified consumer trend 26:18 – Where to find Matt (LinkedIn) and why the "human side" matters online 29:08 – Final takeaway for listeners: build your personal board of advisors 31:47 – Outro

How to Delegate Without Losing Control of Your Business Most women business owners are doers. We take pride in being the one who can be handed any challenge and get it done. But that identity has a cost: when everything runs through you, you become the bottleneck, and your growth is capped no matter how hard you work. But when you can learn to delegate without losing control... you finally create space to lead. On the HerBusiness Podcast, Suzi Dafnis speaks with Kristy Smith, founder of Virtual Elves and HerBusiness 2026 Member of the Year, about doing exactly that. Kristy's business connects owners with virtual assistants, yet this year she turned that philosophy on herself and handed over the last task she thought only she could do: her discovery calls. What You'll Discover in This Episode Why being the doer eventually caps your growth — and how to spot when you've become the bottleneck The real reason "no one can do it like I can" keeps you stuck, and how to move past it Kristy's staged, four-month handover of the one task she thought only she could do How documenting your workflows makes letting go far less scary The daily check-in habit that builds ownership and confidence fast How to handle the surprising grief of stepping back from work you love Using quarterly feedback sessions to grow as a leader — not just manage performance Why Letting Go Feels So Hard The belief that "no one can do it the way I can" is the biggest barrier to delegation. It keeps you busy, and busyness feels like achievement. But as Kristy points out, spending two hours training someone instead of ten minutes doing it yourself feels inefficient — until you realise you repeat that task every day, losing hours you could spend growing the business. There's also an emotional side. Stepping back from work that lights you up can bring an unexpected sense of grief. If you ignore it, you'll jump back in and disempower the very person you handed the work to. How to Delegate Without Losing Control The secret is a staged handover, not a sudden drop. Kristy's transition took about four months and rested on a few principles you can copy. Bring in the right person. Hire for the qualities you want clients to feel. Kristy chose someone warm and kind — the impression she wanted every new lead to have. Document the work first. Going through ISO 9001 accreditation forced Kristy to map every workflow start to finish. That documentation showed her exactly where she could let go, making the handover far less scary. Check in daily at first. An end-of-day conversation every day for the first weeks catches mistakes fast. Correcting something after two days protects confidence and progress far better than catching it three weeks later. Let the team pull the work from you. Reframe the question from "what do I hold onto?" to "what is my team ready to take?" Ownership grows when people take the next piece themselves. In fact, it was Kristy's new hire who suggested she keep a client connection by running testimonial interviews at the three-month mark — staying involved without reclaiming the day-to-day. Lead Instead of Doing Once the work is off your plate, your job shifts from technician to visionary. Kristy now runs quarterly feedback sessions where her team reviews her leadership, not just their own goals. That vulnerability built a culture of trust and surfaced honest input a formal review never would. She also created an operational improvement board where anyone can flag a problem, which becomes a team-owned project. Aiming for a one percent improvement each week compounds into meaningful change across the year — all without Kristy solving every issue herself. Your Next Step Learning to delegate without losing control is less about systems and more about trust: trusting your documentation, trusting your people, and trusting yourself as a leader. Start with one task you believe only you can do, hand it over in stages, and protect the space you create to finally step into the CEO role your business needs.

Over half of us identify as generalists and most workplaces still aren't built for us.Siobhán O'Riordan, founder of Big Sea Strategies and author of Reframe, joins Ashish Kothari to make the case that in a world changing faster than any playbook, the "ubiquitous and yet unseen" generalist is exactly the talent leaders need.She shares the story behind her own pattern of "crushing it or crashing out," why fit beats effort every time, and three concrete moves any generalist can use to name their value and thrive in a system wired for specialists: know your value from the outside in, manage up to make it visible, and protect your range by saying no on purpose. A conversation for anyone who has ever felt like they didn't fit the org chart and for the leaders who keep losing their most adaptive people.What You Will Learn:Flourishing is a fit problem, not an effort problem.The same person, bringing the same energy, can thrive in one role and be shown the door in another. Before you push harder, examine the context: do you have the freedom, authority, and cover to do what you actually do well?Generalists are defined externally so define yourself first.Specialists come with built-in expectations; generalists don't. Ask five to ten colleagues what value you brought them, then learn to name how you think out loud: "I'm someone who sees patterns and gaps."Control your talents, or they will boss you around.A room full of ideas is a liability if you dump all 100. Know your strengths, bring the best three, and pair with people (and AI) who turn ideas into finished work. Generalists cannot work alone.In a fast-changing world, generalists lead adaptation.As "expert practitioners," they test, connect dots, and absorb the risk specialists can't. Think of the hospitalist who knows enough about every specialty to prioritize care for one whole patient.To thrive in a specialist world, get strategic.Know your value, stay connected to other generalists, and get smart about what you say no to. Don't fight gravity, build specialization where you must, and augment your gaps with technology and partnership.Episode Chapters: 00:00 Why fit matters more than effort01:08 Flourishing starts with self-knowledge03:40 What actually defines a generalist11:18 Expert practitioners and the hospitalist metaphor16:19 Crushing it or crashing out: Siobhán's story23:56 Context, freedom, and the right roles for generalists29:46 Turning curiosity into disciplined value34:36 How AI powers the one-person unicorn35:02 From seeing the pattern to naming it41:50 Thriving as a generalist in a specialist world44:44 Three moves you can make todayResources:Connect with the GuestLinkedIn: Siobhán O'RiordanRecommended Reading: ReframeHow Generalists Thrive in a Changing WorldConnect with the HostLinkedIn: Ashish KothariWebsite: Happiness SquadBook: Hardwired For HappinessTEDx: How to make flourishing your competitive edgeYouTube: Happiness Squad ChannelIf this conversation sparked something for you, please subscribe and leave a review, it takes 30 seconds and helps more people discover the show.

I walked into Best Buy after a rough day and realized something that stopped me cold: I didn't want anything. That used to be my favorite store, and now nothing in there moved me. When I dug into why, the answer was uncomfortable but clarifying. Most of what we chase in life isn't really a want. It's a void we're trying to fill, usually tied to validation, acceptance, or comparison. In this episode, I walk through how to identify what you're actually chasing versus what you think you want, and how to redirect that energy toward things that actually build a better life. Key Takeaways The allure of wanting something often comes from not being able to have it, not from the thing itself. Most wants are disguised voids: needs for validation, acceptance, or status that no purchase can permanently fill. Asking yourself why you truly want something is one of the most clarifying questions you can sit with. If money can buy it, there is a good chance the desire is rooted in external validation rather than genuine fulfillment. Reframe your wants around peace, security, and the wellbeing of those around you and your entire approach to life shifts. Action Steps Write down three things you currently want and ask yourself honestly why you want each one. Trace the answer back to whether it fills a void or serves real fulfillment. Identify one person or relationship in your life that genuinely matters to you, and let that be a filter for the goals you are currently chasing. Audit one recurring want or upgrade cycle in your life, whether it is tech, cars, or status, and decide if continuing to chase it has ever actually made you happier. Notable Quote A lot of the things that we think we want, once we could get them, we realized they didn't make us any happier. They didn't bring any more fulfillment to our lives.

I can...... when I.....! Master this strategy to get your self-talk back on track.

In Part 1 of our summer sermon series highlight, Cory begins the Reframe series by asking one of the biggest questions many Christians have never considered:What if the spiritual battle we've been taught to fight isn't what the New Testament is actually describing?For generations, many believers have viewed the Christian life through the lens of spiritual warfare, fear, and unseen enemies. But what if Jesus accomplished more than we've realized? What if the New Testament is inviting us to live from victory instead of constantly fighting for it?In this first message, Cory walks through Scripture to challenge common assumptions about spiritual warfare, the Armor of God, strongholds, principalities and powers, and what Paul was actually communicating in Ephesians 6. Rather than encouraging believers to live in fear of an ongoing cosmic battle, he presents a Christ-centered perspective that emphasizes identity, peace, healing, and the finished work of Jesus.Whether you agree with every conclusion or not, this message is designed to provoke thoughtful conversation and encourage you to examine Scripture through the lens of Christ.00:00 - Introduction & Summer Reframe Series02:34 - Welcome to Hill City & Pastor Appreciation04:36 - Christ in You & Hearing God's Voice06:21 - Why This Series Will Challenge You08:23 - The Purpose Behind Reframe10:00 - From Fear-Driven Thinking to Peace-Filled Living12:13 - Fix Your Eyes on Jesus13:21 - Reframing the Battlefield15:19 - The Problem with Spiritual Warfare Thinking19:52 - Good & Evil or Functional & Dysfunctional?21:31 - What Strongholds Really Are22:01 - Understanding Ephesians 6 in Context24:26 - The Armor of God Is About Identity26:05 - Principalities, Powers & Human Systems29:09 - What Does "Satan" Actually Mean?31:55 - The Armor of God Revisited35:22 - You're an Ambassador, Not a Soldier36:19 - Fear-Based Living vs Faith-Based Living37:42 - Christ Has Already Won the Victory39:06 - The Law, Sin & Standing Firm40:14 - Christ Disarmed Every Power41:15 - Leaving Law Behind for Grace43:19 - Living from Victory Instead of Warfare45:35 - Preview: Reframing Demons & Final Encouragement

There's a particular kind of drift that sets in around the middle of the year. The energy of a January reset has worn off, the goals that felt motivating in Q1 are either achieved, abandoned, or quietly deprioritised, and what's left is the question of whether you're still doing this with intention or just doing it because it's what you do.For podcasters, that question is worth sitting with.In this episode, I'm sharing three quotes that came up again and again in client conversations this week, because they're about dreaming and daring, about the purpose a podcast should serve in your life, and about what it means to actually pay attention to who you're becoming as you build.If you've never let yourself imagine how far the show could take you, you'll always be working inside limits you set without realising it.Resources mentioned in this episode:For the full list of links, resources and show notes, please visit:https://www.thepodcastspace.com/podcast/s5-118-three-quotes-that-will-reframe-how-you-think-about-your-podcast-and-where-its-taking-you

Send us Fan MailCareer readiness can sound like a big, abstract goal — something that belongs in a strategic plan, a district initiative or a career fair once a year.But helping students connect school to life after graduation can happen in practical, everyday ways.In this summer highlight episode, Ashley Shaw looks back at five powerful moments from the first two seasons of the Making Schools Work podcast. These clips offer practical ways educators can help students understand why school matters, what skills they are building and how those skills connect to college, careers, military service, technical training and life beyond graduation.You'll hear from Mark Perna, Nicole Cobb, Marty Sugerik, leaders from Richland High School and the team from PENCIL in Nashville as they share strategies schools and teachers can use right away.In this episode, you'll learn how to: Reframe school as a way for students to build options, not just earn grades  Help students recognize the career skills inside everyday classroom tasks  Ask students to investigate how academic skills show up in real careers  Create concrete next-step plans for students before they graduate  Build community partnerships around real student and school needs Featured clips from:The GPA Myth: Reframing Education as a Solution, Not a Problem Featuring Mark PernaThe Human Side of Career Readiness With Nicole Cobb Featuring Dr. Nicole CobbDesigning Meaningful Projects: Making Project-Based Learning Work in the Classroom Featuring Marty SugerikPacesetter Spotlight: Richland High School's AP Program and Career Connectedness Featuring leaders from Richland High SchoolFeatured Speaker Spotlight: Creating Community Programs With PENCIL Featuring Elena Kate and Bob KucherListen for these practical takeaways:Career readiness does not have to live outside the regular school day. It can start with a single sentence that explains why students are practicing a skill. It can become stronger when students research how that skill appears in careers they care about. It can become more concrete when schools help students identify possible next steps, financial plans and real people they can talk to before committing to a path.And it becomes much more powerful when schools build partnerships that are connected to what students actually need to experience, practice and understand.Subscribe and followSubscribe to the Making Schools Work podcast wherever you listen, and follow along this summer as we revisit some of the most practical ideas from our first two seasons.

Want to scale your health practice and get your life back? Work with me 1-on-1 in our private advisory and mastermind - https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/hp-mastery?el=yt-july5Most health practice owners eventually hit the same wall. The business is growing, revenue is up, and patients or clients are getting results, but too much still depends on you. The next level isn't about doing more. It's about building something bigger than yourself. A business that scales without relying on you for everything.That's why we created Healthpreneur Mastery.Mastery is the private advisory board and mastermind for leading health professionals doing at least $500,000 per year who want to build a business that creates greater profit, freedom, and impact.This isn't for beginners.It's for practitioners, practice owners, and health entrepreneurs who know they're capable of building something much bigger and don't want to figure it all out alone.Learn more about Healthpreneur Mastery here: https://go.healthpreneurtraining.com/hp-mastery?el=july5If the first question you ask before making a business investment is what is the ROI, you are already thinking too small. The greatest business leaders in the world, from Bezos to Steve Jobs, never led with that question.In this Episode I am sharing six reframes that will help you make bigger, better decisions the same way they do.Most practitioners and business owners default to ROI thinking because it feels safe and logical. But ROI measures what you can already predict, and the biggest opportunities in business are always the ones you cannot see yet. I walk through real examples from Amazon Prime, Netflix original content, and Apple Stores, plus a personal story of how an $18,000 mastermind investment led to a New York Times bestseller, a multi-million dollar book deal, and business outcomes that could never have been forecasted in advance. The six reframes I share in this video cover how to think about upside versus downside, the real cost of inaction, how to evaluate whether an investment builds an asset or increases your capabilities, and why almost every business decision you will ever make is completely reversible. If you are a health practitioner or coaching business owner who wants to think and make decisions like a leader instead of playing it safe, this is the video that changes your framework.

We can learn from others

Coach Ted talks about what we think we know to be true and why we are so attached to it. (Originally aired 05-24-2024)

Key Takeaways: Identify and acknowledge your resistance, such as being overly attached to outcomes or trying to fix others. Understand that fear has a role but should not drive your actions. Reframe negative mindsets and stories into more positive, empowering narratives. Make the unconscious conscious to change unhelpful thought patterns. Practice surrender, trust, and gratitude to cultivate a receptive state. Engage in joyful, playful activities that activate your whole being. Take inspired action aligned with excitement and purpose, rather than obligation. Maintain a sense of sovereignty and commitment to the process over the outcome.   “Fear has a place. It has a role. We're not going to kick it off the bus. It just doesn't get to drive it.”   “The more you focus on what's already good in your life, the more you attract positivity. ”   “Joy puts you in a receptive state, and it makes it easier to attract good things. You get to be joyful. You deserve joy.”  - Maryanne Dersch       Let's Work Together to Amplify Your Leadership + Influence1.

What if the extra weight your body is carrying right now is not a problem to solve, but a message to understand? In this episode, I explore the concept of "love weight," a term I discovered through a woman I follow on Substack that immediately stopped me in my tracks. While often discussed in the context of eating disorder recovery, I believe the idea reaches far beyond that. Many women find themselves in seasons of healing, recalibration, grief, recovery, or simply loosening their grip on rigid behaviors that no longer serve them. Sometimes the body responds in ways we don't expect. Sometimes peace comes with consequences we weren't prepared for. Today I offer a more compassionate lens through which to view those changes and explore what it means to trust that your body may be doing exactly what it needs to do right now. Because not every season of transformation is meant to look good while it's happening. Want to keep going?

You can't go back and redo your childhood. But you can stop unconsciously parenting the child inside of you instead of the child standing in front of you. In this solo episode, Albiona reframes the popular idea of “reparenting” into something more useful, more honest, and a lot more doable. This one gets personal. Albiona walks through real coaching examples — including a mom who kept over-giving love and attention because that's what she needed as a child, only to watch her independent, strong-willed daughter resist it every time — to show what it actually looks like to stop healing your own childhood through your kid and start showing up as the steady, regulated parent they need. Inside, she explores: →  Why “reparenting” as a redo can quietly turn into a victim complex — and the difference between honoring what was hard and getting stuck blaming it →  The question to ask yourself in hard parenting moments: am I parenting the child in front of me, or the child inside of me? →  A real coaching example of a mom who over-gave love and attention to heal her own neglect — and why her free-spirited, independent daughter needed boundaries instead →  Why a happy child isn't the measure of good parenting — and how tying your worth as a parent to your child's emotions sets you both up to struggle →  How to interrupt default patterns like yelling, shaming, or threatening — and what it actually means to cultivate your own inner parent in the moment it counts Connect with Albiona: →  Book a Free Discovery Call (1:1 Coaching) — https://www.theparentingreframe.com/coaching →  Follow Albiona on Instagram — @theparentingreframe →  Join Albiona's Paid Substack Community — https://albiona.substack.com  →  Email Albiona directly — albiona@theparentingreframe.com Loved this episode? Please rate, review, and share this one with a parent who keeps wondering why all their love and effort isn't landing the way they expected. Sometimes the most healing thing we can do isn't give our kids what we needed — it's learn to give it to ourselves. Until next time, Albiona

In this episode of Discovering Grayslake, host sits down with Michele Klein, the passionate owner of Get Messy, a brand-new creative painting experience located at 1864 East Belvedere Road. Michelle shares her inspiring journey — from painting in her driveway post-divorce to opening a vibrant studio where visitors create three unique masterpieces using fun tools like Nerf guns and sponges. She also opens up about overcoming a trademark challenge that led to her perfect business name. With a mission rooted in joy, kindness, and community, Get Messy is a colorful new gem in Grayslake worth experiencing! How to Turn Passion into Purpose: Lessons from Michelle Klein of Get Messy, Grayslake Welcome back to the Discovering Grayslake blog, where we shine a light on the people and businesses making our hometown a more vibrant, connected place. In this episode, we sat down with Michelle Klein, the creative force behind Get Messy—a new Grayslake business that's all about spreading color, joy, and kindness through therapeutic painting experiences. Michelle's journey is a testament to resilience, creativity, and the power of community. Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur, a creative soul, or someone looking for a little more color in your life, her story is packed with actionable insights. Let's dive deep into the main themes and tips from her interview, breaking down each lesson so you can apply them to your own life or business. 1. Let Your Passion Guide You—But Stay Open to Serendipity Michelle's Story:   After a difficult divorce, Michelle found solace in painting on her driveway. What started as a personal healing ritual quickly attracted neighborhood kids and parents, organically growing into a business idea. Actionable Advice: Start with what heals or excites you.** Your authentic enthusiasm is magnetic—people are drawn to genuine passion. Pay attention to organic interest.** If others are naturally curious or want to join in, you may be onto something special. Be open to evolution.** Michelle didn't set out to start a business; she followed where her passion and community interest led her. Expert Insight:   Many successful businesses begin as personal projects. Don't underestimate the power of simply sharing what you love with those around you. 2. Create a Unique Experience—Focus on Feelings, Not Just Products Michelle's Approach:   While "splatter rooms" exist elsewhere, Michelle wanted Get Messy to stand out by focusing on the emotional journey. Every visitor creates three masterpieces, leaves a positive mark, and is encouraged to let go and play. Actionable Advice: Design for emotion.** Ask yourself: How do I want people to feel when they leave my business? Offer more than a product.** Build rituals or experiences that make your offering memorable (e.g., painting rocks, leaving messages on the wall). Encourage self-expression.** Provide tools and freedom for customers to create in their own way. Specific Recommendations: Use a variety of tools (Nerf guns, sponges, hairbrushes) to make the process playful and accessible. Incorporate keepsakes or community art projects to foster connection. 3. Overcome Challenges with Flexibility and Positivity Trademark Trouble:   Michelle's original business name, "Messy Masterpiece," was already trademarked. Receiving a cease and desist letter was scary, but she pivoted quickly, rebranding as "Get Messy"—a name that's even more inviting and descriptive. Actionable Advice: Expect bumps in the road.** Legal, logistical, or emotional challenges are part of the journey. Seek support.** Michelle leaned on friends for advice and encouragement. Reframe setbacks as opportunities.** The new name turned out to be a better fit. Expert Tip:   Before settling on a business name, do a thorough trademark search. But if you hit a snag, don't panic—sometimes the best ideas come from unexpected pivots. 4. Build Community—Inside and Outside Your Business Michelle's Community Focus: Random Acts of Kindness:** Michelle creates goody bags to spread joy locally, inspired by personal loss and a desire to make a difference. Chamber of Commerce:** Joining the Grayslake Chamber helped her connect with other business owners and gain visibility. Inclusive Experiences:** Get Messy welcomes everyone—kids, adults, couples, teams—making it a true community hub. Actionable Advice: Give back in small, meaningful ways.** Kindness initiatives can be simple but powerful. Network locally.** Chambers of Commerce and local events are invaluable for new businesses. Foster inclusivity.** Design your offerings so people of all ages and backgrounds feel welcome. Specific Recommendations: Partner with local organizations for events or fundraisers. Encourage customers to leave their mark—literally or figuratively—on your space. 5. Prioritize Customer Experience and Safety Michelle's Process: Protective Gear:** Aprons, booties, gloves, and hair nets ensure everyone can get messy without worry. Flexible Hours:** Michelle adapts her schedule to meet customer demand, offering appointments outside regular hours. Clear Communication:** She advises customers on what to wear and what to expect, reducing anxiety and maximizing fun. Actionable Advice: Anticipate customer needs.** Think through every step of the experience from their perspective. Be flexible.** Especially in the early days, adaptability can set you apart. Communicate clearly.** Set expectations so customers feel comfortable and excited. 6. Infuse Your Brand with Personality and Positivity Michelle's Vibe: Music:** Reggae and upbeat tunes create a welcoming, all-ages atmosphere. Personal Touch:** Michelle's warmth and energy are central to the Get Messy experience. Social Media:** She connects with the community online, sharing updates and positivity. Actionable Advice: Let your personality shine.** Customers remember how you make them feel. Curate your environment.** Music, decor, and staff attitude all contribute to your brand. Engage online and offline.** Consistent, authentic communication builds loyalty. 7. Embrace Your Story—It's Your Superpower Michelle's Journey:   From personal hardship to business ownership, Michelle's story is woven into every aspect of Get Messy. She's open about her struggles and triumphs, making her business relatable and inspiring. Actionable Advice: Share your "why."** People connect with stories, not just services. Be authentic about challenges.** Vulnerability builds trust and community. Celebrate your growth.** Every setback overcome is a lesson for you and your audience. Key Takeaways for Aspiring Entrepreneurs and Community Builders Start with what you love, and let community interest guide your next steps.** Design experiences that focus on emotion and connection, not just transactions.** Be ready to pivot and see challenges as opportunities for growth.** Invest in your local community—give back, network, and foster inclusivity.** Prioritize customer comfort, safety, and clear communication.** Let your personality and story infuse every aspect of your brand.** Final Thoughts: Bringing More Color to Grayslake Michelle Klein's journey with Get Messy is a beautiful reminder that even in the face of adversity, creativity and kindness can transform not just our own lives, but our entire community.

In this season two finale of Storage Wins, host Alex Pardo reconnects with Dan, the investor he has coached through 40 episodes on the journey to buying his first self-storage facility. Alex also marks a personal milestone: ten years behind the mic, with a podcast published nearly every single week. This episode is a reflection on the entire season, the lessons that matter most for new storage investors, and why finishing the season without a closed deal is not failure. If you are working toward your first storage facility and need a reminder that confidence follows action and progress is rarely linear, this conversation is for you. You'll Learn How To: Build real confidence in your underwriting by putting in the reps deal after deal Treat relationship capital as the most valuable asset you can raise Protect your momentum once you have it instead of letting life knock you off track Use accountability partners to stay consistent without depending on them Make offers as the fastest way to learn the business and create urgency Keep self-storage investing simple instead of overcomplicating the process Find a community or mentor rather than trying to figure it out alone Reframe a season that ends without a closing as success, not failure What You'll Learn in This Episode [0:17] Alex opens the season two finale and frames it around the journey, not the facility [1:04] Why Dan was on a very short list of people Alex trusted to see this through [2:17] Dan on never having considered a podcast and what made this the right scenario [3:19] Dan's biggest breakthrough after underwriting hundreds of deals on the show [3:54] How confidence replaced the tough early conversations they rolled up their sleeves on [5:31] The common themes of season two: big why, reps, and the right people around you [5:55] Why relationship capital matters more than spreadsheets in this business [6:47] Top season lessons, starting with confidence follows action [7:11] Momentum is fragile, so protect it at all costs once you have it [7:51] Why underwriting does not need to take four hours [9:07] Make offers because offers get you in the game and create real urgency [9:41] Ask for help, find your tribe, and stop trying to do this alone [10:31] Progress is not linear, with a jiu jitsu lesson on messy real-world execution [12:26] Dan answers whether he is confident he will buy a storage facility [14:00] Why Dan did not fail, the season just ended, and those are different things [14:25] Alex marks ten years of podcasting and announces a short pause before season three [16:44] What season three will look like and the closing call to action Who This Episode Is For: New investors working toward their first self-storage facility Anyone struggling with confidence, second-guessing, or analysis paralysis in underwriting Investors who feel like they are trying to figure this out alone People who have lost momentum and want to rebuild it Action takers who need permission to let progress be messy and imperfect Listeners who have followed Dan's journey from episode one Why You Should Listen: This finale is less about a transaction and more about transformation. Over 40 episodes, Dan went from never having underwritten a real deal to running numbers that hold up against seasoned brokers and experienced storage owners. The facility has not closed yet, but the person who will close it has already been built. The core lesson Alex keeps returning to is that confidence follows action, not the other way around. You do not wait until you feel ready to make offers and have hard conversations. You make the offers and have the conversations, and the confidence shows up because of the reps. Relationships, consistency, and a refusal to quit do the rest. If you have been waiting for the perfect moment or the perfect deal, this episode is a reminder that the road to ownership zigs and zags. Messy progress still counts. The only real failure is stopping.

One rushed morning. One moment of frustration. One word you wish you could take back. If you've ever lost your temper with your teenager and spent the rest of the day drowning in guilt, this episode is for you. When one mum admits she called her 15-year-old daughter "the B word" during a stressful race to catch the school bus, Justin and Kylie unpack what was really happening beneath the conflict and share practical ways to stay calm when emotions run high. From stepping away from arguments to letting natural consequences do the teaching, this conversation offers hope for parents who are trying hard but sometimes get it wrong. Because good parents lose their cool sometimes too. What matters most is what happens next. KEY POINTS Why teenage behaviour can trigger our biggest emotional reactions. The hidden cost of rescuing teenagers from natural consequences. How asking "How can I help?" changes the entire conversation. Why parents don't have to attend every argument. The importance of preparation, sleep and self-care in emotional regulation. How perspective and grace can lower the temperature in difficult moments. A simple framework for repairing after conflict: Refrain, Reframe and Reconnect. QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "You don't have to attend every argument." RESOURCES MENTIONED The "Refrain, Reframe, Reconnect" framework. Happy Families podcast question submission page. Happy Families membership and parenting resources. ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Replace instructions and criticism with one simple question: "How can I help?" Allow natural consequences to do some of the teaching. If emotions are escalating, stop talking and take a short break. Prepare the night before to reduce stressful mornings. Repair quickly after conflict with an apology and reconnection.

Reframing Sales as Service in an Insurance AgencyMatt Dietz of Agency Launch invites listeners to join his texting community (text “free” to 208-213-8809) for weekly tips, including a mortgage-lead program, and directs them to agencylaunch.net for coaching and programs. He addresses agents' reluctance to sell because they don't want to seem “salesy,” arguing that running an agency requires embracing sales with the right mindset. Dietz contrasts pushy tactics with professional selling that makes clients feel understood and supported, and encourages agents to build confidence through product knowledge and by seeking answers when they don't know. Quoting a book, he emphasizes “sales is service,” noting common blockers: lack of self-belief, misunderstanding sales as manipulation, and fear of rejection. He urges agents to educate clients on being properly insured by asking strong questions about limits and coverage needs, and reminds listeners that sales is difficult but essential to agency success and personal freedom.00:00 Welcome to Agency Launch00:17 Join the Text Community01:11 Why Agents Fear Sales02:00 Reframe Your Sales Identity02:54 Build Confidence Through Learning04:43 Sales Is Service Mindset06:08 Educate Clients With Questions09:04 Push Past Rejection and Doubt10:27 Sales Is Hard Reality Check11:05 Wrap Up and Resources

Nick Saban once watched a man throw back every big fish he caught, keeping only the small ones. The reason stopped me cold: the guy only had a nine inch frying pan at home. In this episode, I use that story to challenge you to look honestly at the size of your own mental foundation, because your capacity to think, to believe, and to handle opportunity determines everything you keep and everything you release. The lesson here is not just about catching bigger fish. It is about becoming someone who can actually do something with them when they show up. Key Takeaways Your mental capacity, not your circumstances, determines which opportunities you keep and which you throw back. Limiting beliefs are often embedded early and run quietly in the background. Recognizing them is the first step to outgrowing them. The people closest to you can often see your blind spots better than you can. Asking them is not weakness. It is strategy. Stagnation is not always your fault, but staying stagnant is your responsibility to address. The clearest sign you need a bigger foundation is when what you are capable of only feeds you and nobody else around you. Action Steps Identify one area where you have been consistently rejecting or avoiding big opportunities and write down the belief that is driving that pattern. Reach out to one trusted person this week and specifically ask them: where do you see me thinking too small? Reframe your growth target by asking whether your current capacity can produce results that benefit not just you but the people depending on you. Notable Quote There are probably limitations you have simply because it has never crossed your mind that it could be better.

A Sound Bite is a short reflection inspired by a recent Girl, Take the Lead! conversation—an opportunity to explore one idea a little more deeply.In this Sound Bite, host Yo Canny reflects on a question that emerged from her conversation with Andrea Mein DeWitt:What is the difference between trust and faith?Together, they explored generosity, boundaries, trust, and the challenge of holding life with open hands. But after the conversation ended, Yo found herself continuing to think about trust—not as a feeling, but as a practice.In this reflection, she explores:✨ Why hope, trust, and faith are related—but different✨ How fear and control often travel together✨ Why courage is required whenever we release certainty✨ What Andrea's "Open Hands" philosophy can teach us about leadership and life✨ The question many of us face as we navigate relationships, aging, parenting, retirement, and personal growth:What do we do when we can no longer control the outcome?This Sound Bite was inspired by Episode 298:

Why does certainty feel safer than curiosity—and why does that quietly run so many of our relationships? In this Q&A crossover, Tony answers three listener questions that sound completely unrelated—a spouse who looked through a phone without asking, someone who keeps pulling conversations back to themselves, and why confident, certain voices dominate public life—then reveals the single thread connecting all three: how hard it is to tolerate uncertainty, and why curiosity (not certainty) is where growth actually lives. If you've ever felt the pull to fill in the blanks, win the argument, or get reassurance right now, this one will make you feel seen. In this episode, you'll: Reframe the phone fight using Tony's four pillars of a connected conversation—because it's almost never about the phone. Understand why your brain treats not knowing as a threat (it's a "don't get killed device") and how to stay present in the gray. Build a well inside yourself instead of chasing validation in every conversation—Tony's "emotionally dehydrated" metaphor for growing up with conditional self-worth. Tell the difference between confidence rooted in security and performative certainty that needs an audience. Trade self-monitoring for genuine curiosity using implicit memory and ACT—because you're not broken, you're human. Tony Overbay is a licensed marriage and family therapist with more than two decades of clinical experience helping people become curious rather than defensive. If the noise of everyone being so sure has left you exhausted, press play—there's room here to not know, and to grow from it. 00:00 Q&A Episode Setup 01:34 Three Questions Theme 05:18 Why Curiosity Matters 07:25 Brain Craves Certainty 09:03 Ambiguity Feels Threatening 10:49 Stress Kills Curiosity 13:14 Cognitive Flexibility 14:38 Certainty Gets Rewarded 17:39 Phone Privacy Conflicts 22:40 Four Pillars Framework 26:49 Validation Seeking Habits 28:37 Desert and Thirst Metaphor 31:28 Validation Seeking Pattern 32:04 Curiosity Over Self-Monitoring 34:05 Boundaries With Unavailable People 35:30 You Are Not Broken 36:19 ACT Mindset Shift 37:48 Language Learning Analogy 40:24 From Self-Criticism to Acceptance 42:06 Certainty vs Wisdom 48:27 Insecurity and Emotional Immaturity 50:43 Narcissism as Defense 56:27 Healthy Ego vs Defensive Ego 01:02:27 Leadership and Group Dynamics 01:05:21 Choose Curiosity and Close Please follow Tony on Instagram @virtual.couch on Tiktok @virtualcouch on Facebook https://www.facebook.com/tonyoverbaylmft and on Substack https://thevirtualcouch.substack.com/ You can reach out to Tony through his website tonyoverbay.com or by emailing contact @ tonyoverbay.com

What happens when someone your child should be able to trust leaves them feeling judged, misunderstood, and unloved? In this heartfelt Q&A, we respond to a mother whose autistic and ADHD daughter was deeply hurt by a visit from her grandmother. Despite years of progress, one family visit triggered emotional setbacks, self-doubt, and the painful belief that "Nan doesn't love me because of who I am." We explore how parents can help children recover from criticism, reframe damaging messages, rebuild confidence, and move forward when family members simply don't understand neurodivergence. If you've ever struggled with relatives who undermine your parenting or your child's wellbeing, this conversation will give you practical guidance and hope. KEY POINTS Why criticism makes children feel unloved The hidden damage caused by judgmental family members How to help children reframe hurtful experiences The question that protects kids from unfair criticism Why empathy is the first step toward healing How progress and competence rebuild confidence Supporting neurodivergent children when others don't understand QUOTE OF THE EPISODE "Kids don't get better when you make them feel worse." RESOURCES MENTIONED Occupational Therapy (OT) Speech Therapy Submit a question for the podcast! Happy Families website ACTION STEPS FOR PARENTS Validate your child's feelings before trying to solve the problem. Help them separate another person's misunderstanding from their own self-worth. Ask: "Would you seek advice from this person? If not, why listen to their criticism?" Reframe the story from "They don't love me" to "They don't understand me." Focus on progress by celebrating growth, strengths, and achievements. Set meaningful goals that build confidence and competence over time. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

If you need to hire one person, hire a team of people, or transform your business through Talent or Technical Services, Insight Global's team of 30,000 people around the world has the hustle and grit to deliver. My Guest - Tina Seelig has spent 27 years at Stanford teaching some of the world's most ambitious people how to see and seize opportunities. She's a neuroscientist, the executive director of Knight Hennessy Scholars, and the author of 18 books. Her TED Talk on luck has been viewed over 3.4 million times. Her newest book is called What I Wish I Knew About Luck: A Crash Course on Turning Aspirations into Achievements. Key Learnings Tina's dad died at 99 and a half. Three weeks before his first great-grandbaby was born. He was still driving, going to three dinner parties a week, and talking to Tina every day. His curiosity was his superpower. He gave 66 lectures in his retirement community over 20 years, on topics ranging from nuclear weapons to climate change. Train yourself to be a professional noticer. When Tina's dad walked his grandkids into a new room, he'd give them a minute, then say "Shut your eyes." How many doors? Windows? What color is the carpet? Assume there's a million dollars in every room. It's up to you to find it. Opportunities are ubiquitous. You just have to look. Take the headphones off. The most powerful things happen when you engage with strangers. Standing in line. On the plane. Walking through campus. Tina sat next to a stranger named Mark on a plane. He was a publisher. He said no to her book proposal. She kept the relationship going. Years later, his editor approved the same proposal she had given Mark. Within two weeks, she had a contract. Wear something that invites conversation. A logo. A backpack from a conference. A college baseball shirt. Give the world a hook to start with you. Fortune is what happens to you. Luck requires action. Most people confuse the two and miss the chance to claim their agency. "With my luck, it's gonna rain." Reframe it: "With OUR luck, it's gonna be a beautiful sunny day." The reframe changes what you see.  Luck seldom sails solo. Most luck comes through other people. Cultivating meaningful relationships is the most underrated lucky behavior. You don't get a job. You get the keys to the building. The visible work isn't what gets you ahead. The invisible work is. Between stimulus and response is a choice. (Viktor Frankl) Within the constraints of fortune, agency is everything. "Tina, you think like a scientist." One sentence from a professor changed Tina's life. Leaders, know the weight of your words. Twenty years later, Tina wrote that professor a thank-you note. Twenty years after that, his granddaughter wrote back. They had read part of Tina's letter at his funeral. When a student made a bad decision, Tina's first instinct was to punish. She paused. Said, "Help me understand what happened." The whole community learned what empathy and humility look like in leadership. Unresolved conflict sucks the energy out of your day. Resolve it. You become taller, lighter, more open to lucky things. Oliver Greenwald sent Tina a list of 10 ways he could help her with her book. Nothing on the list was exactly what she wanted. She hired him anyway, because of the initiative. Build the sail to catch the wind. Build the ship. Your internal work. Values. Story. Goals. Recruit the crew. The people in your world. Hoist the sail. What you do every single day. Your core values are the keel of your ship. Without them, the first strong wind capsizes you. Keep a failure resume. Document what didn't work and what you'll do differently. Don't perseverate. Move on. "It's all good in the end. If it's not good, it's not the end." We're always in the middle of the story. Tina sends thank-you notes every single day. Five or ten minutes. Three or four sentences. Closes the loop. Builds the relationship. Don't end the dinner without making the next date. Most people drop the ball. Get it on the calendar before you leave. The instant you think something positive about someone, tell them. Be specific. Text. Email. Call. The instant. Tina's champagne moment: her newborn granddaughter at one year old. She just learned to turn over and looks so proud of herself. Reflection Questions What's on your failure resume right now that you haven't yet extracted the lesson from? Are you perseverating, or moving on? Whose thank-you note are you going to send today? Specific, genuine, unprompted.  Where in your life are you waiting for fortune and calling it bad luck? What is the action you've been avoiding because it requires you to put yourself out there?

If you have ever doubted your products or services... compared your business to others...or felt like you're not good enough for business, this is for you. This will REFRAME of your thoughts will change your entire outlook!

Every time you open your eyes, you're not seeing reality. According to the mathematics of evolution, you never have. Donald Hoffman is a cognitive scientist and professor who has spent over 40 years building mathematical models of perception. His book The Case Against Reality makes one of the most unsettling arguments in modern science: your senses didn't evolve to reveal the truth. They evolved to hide it. Think of your body, your thoughts, your memories, and your entire experience of this world as a VR headset. Not a metaphor. A working model backed by mathematics. The headset gives you exactly what you need to play the game of life. It hides what is actually running underneath. Consciousness isn't a product of the brain. It's the other way around. Neurons don't exist when no one is looking. Nothing in your behavior is caused by neural activity. What's actually driving your life is something science is only now beginning to map. The way out isn't more information. It's a practice. The silence between your thoughts? That's you. When you learn to watch your emotions instead of becoming them, the grip of every story you've been telling yourself starts to release.
