"We were adding customers, losing customers, adding customers, losing customers. We were stalling."Gaurav Bhattacharya had $2.5M ARR and 50 customers. On paper, things looked fine. But momentum wasn't there. Instead of pushing harder, he split his company in two – and nine months later, Jeeva AI had 10,000 users and 300 enterprise customers.In today's episode, I'm joined by Gaurav Bhattacharya, Founder and CEO of Jeeva AI. After successfully exiting his first healthcare AI startup, Gaurav spent five years building a data intelligence platform to $2.5M ARR before recognising it would never become the great business he wanted. His solution? Split the team in two – one to keep the lights on, one to prove product-market fit for a completely new idea. The result was Jeeva AI, a sales intelligence tool that exploded to 10,000 users in nine months.Together we unpack:How to decide when a "good" business will never become greatThe two-team strategy: keeping lights on whilst proving new product-market fitWhy pattern recognition is the most underrated founder skillHow to pivot without killing team morale or burning investor relationshipsThe shift from enterprise sales to PLG (and why it required completely different muscles)

In this open discussion episode, host Kendall Hotchkiss leads a candid conversation about navigating challenging client relationships on pro bono projects!This episode covers:Pro bono work requires boundaries too: Even volunteer projects need contracts, timelines, and scope definitions to prevent scope creep and maintain professional relationshipsThe contract as your bouncer: Setting up agreements after a project starts is still valuable - frame it as helping everyone get organized rather than creating frictionDesign by committee challenges: When working with clients who have some technical knowledge but lack expertise, lead with questions about their goals rather than telling them what's wrongTime as leverage: When there's no payment involved, your availability and timeline become your primary negotiating tools for maintaining boundariesThe 50% rule for resistance: If clients consistently push back on expert recommendations, especially on accessibility standards, you may need to accept their limitations and focus energy elsewhereWalking away professionally: Always have a referral ready and offer project files when exiting a difficult engagement - how you leave matters as much as how you startClient communication strategies: Mirror client language back to them, keep emails brief with links to detailed notes, and break feedback into specific review rounds to manage expectationsUpcoming Events:Next week's guest: Haley Akins from Motion Hatch!Garlic Phone Game Night: December 3rdOpen call for volunteers: Monday Meeting is seeking hosts and behind-the-scenes help for 2026Visit MondayMeeting.org for this episode and other conversations from the motion design community!SHOW NOTES:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Monday Meeting Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting LinkedIn⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MondayMeeting Newsletter⁠

I'm honored to welcome my friend, Will Hudson, to the podcast today!Will's story starts like many others in ranch country: long hours, responsibility at a young age, and a deep desire to prove himself.

In this episode of The Re-Mind Podcast, Dr Ashleigh Moreland and David Masterton continue their conversation on self-awareness with a practical twist: how to observe yourself in real time.Ash shares a powerful exercise she uses with clients and couples—recording important conversations on video—not to prove a point, but to see yourself with fresh eyes. From unconscious facial expressions to the mismatch between words and body language, this practice offers a mirror for growth rather than criticism.Dave reflects on how he once used recording as a weapon in arguments, and how shifting that intention toward curiosity changed everything. Together, they explore the difference between observing to control versus observing to understand, and why the goal isn't perfection—it's partnership, accountability, and growth.In this episode:How to use recording as a tool for self-reflection, not evidenceWhy most communication happens beyond wordsHow to spot the mismatch between what you say and what your body revealsWhat to do when you notice your “performance” on cameraHow to use observation to build conscious relationshipsThe “death, burial, and resurrection” model for healthy partnershipWhy collaboration, not competition, is the foundation of loveAsh and Dave invite you to pause, watch yourself without judgment, and use self-observation as the doorway to healing and connection.Reflection prompts:When was the last time you truly watched yourself communicate?Do your energy, words, and body language tell the same story?How can you turn self-awareness into collaboration, not criticism?

We all start out with dreams for our kids — who they'll be, what their lives will look like, and how it will feel to be their parent. But when it doesn't turn out anything like we expected, fear kicks in. Maybe your child is struggling with substances, their mental health, or their identity.Maybe they've made choices that scare you, or revealed parts of themselves that challenge everything you thought you knew. When that happens, it can feel like the ground beneath you gives way. The future you imagined disappears, and you're left wondering how to love your child — and yourself — in a world that suddenly looks unrecognizable.In this deeply moving conversation, Heather talks with Meagan Skidmore, author of TransparentSEE: How I Learned to See Through My Journey as a Parent of a Transgender Kiddo.When Meagan's child came out as transgender, it shook her beliefs about love, faith, and family — and became the catalyst for profound personal growth. Together, Heather and Meagan explore what happens when your heart breaks open — and how love, curiosity, and acceptance can rebuild what fear once tried to destroy.They talk about:The moment you realize your child's life won't follow the script you wroteHow to confront the fear and grief that come with shattered expectationsWhy “whole love” — not perfect love — is what heals relationshipsThe difference between fixing your child and truly seeing themHow letting go of the need for certainty can lead to deeper peace and connectionWhether your child's struggle is with substances, identity, or something else entirely, this conversation will remind you:You're not alone. And even when life doesn't go as planned, you can still find peace — by loving the child you have for who they are, not who you imagined they'd be.Contact Meagan or purchase her book:https://meaganskidmorecoaching.com/media-page/Resources From Heather Ross Coaching If you want answers and support to help you and your child Sign up for a 45-minute $17 Road to Recovery call with Heather using the link below. https://heatherrosscoachingcalendar.as.me/RoadtoRecovery⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠The truth about enabling - If you've ever worried about enabling, this guide is for you! https://heatherrosscoaching.com/perspective-about-enabling/Boundaries That Create Connection Masterclasshttps://heatherrosscoaching.com/boundaries-that-create-connection-masterclass/How to leave a podcast reviewhttps://www.youtube.com/shorts/5xkPZM8mj-E

In this potent conversation, I sit down with Yarrow Kae—a mentor, spiritual guide, healer, and clinically trained therapist who bridges ancient wisdom with modern psychology—to explore what it really means to embody the truth of who you are. Yarrow's story is nothing short of extraordinary: at 19, she downloaded enlightenment on the dance floor of a rave, setting her on a decades-long journey of integration, nervous system healing, and self-mastery. Her work now blends somatics, depth psychology, energetics, and spirituality to help others shift at a cellular level and live from their unique magnetic vibration.Together, we dive deep into the subtle ways our attachment patterns, shame stories, and identity constructs keep us bound—often in ways that feel “productive” or “good.” From perfectionism and people-pleasing to the spiritual bypassing that hides beneath our self-development work, this conversation unveils the unconscious habits that keep us safe but small.

We are thrilled to sit down with Dr Francesca Fulminante to chat all about the development of settlements in central Italy from the Bronze Age to the Archaic Period of Rome. Dr Fulminante shares insights from her recent monograph: The Rise of Early Rome - Transportation Networks and Domination in Central Italy, 1050-500 BCE (2023) (Cambridge University Press).This is a period where archaeological investigation reigns supreme requiring researchers to get into the nitty gritty layers of settlement patterns and trading networks. We're thrilled to learn from Dr Fulminante as her research involves the investigation of complex societies in central Italy during the Bronze Age, looking at things like social stratification, settlement organisation, and craft community practices. Dr Fulminate is a Senior Research Fellow in the Department of Anthropology and Archaeology at the University of Bristol, and is an Associate Professor at University Roma Tre. Her work also involves offering continuing education training at the Universities of Oxford and Cambridge.What is time and how do things get complicated quickly?Coming to grips with the early evidence for Rome and central Italy involves understanding some of the overlapping terminology used by archaeologists and historians, who are coming to the evidence from different perspectives. Terms like the Bronze Age and Iron Age come to us from archaeology and anthropology while specific periods like the Archaic period and Early Roman Republic are much more society specific and tend to come from historians. This overlap can create a little bit of confusion, so here's a rough breakdown (including some of the overlapping terms):The Early Bronze Age: 2300-1700 BCEThe Middle Bronze Age: 1700-1350 BCEThe Recent Bronze Age: 1350-1150 BCEThe Final Bronze Age: 1150-950 BCEIron Age: c. 1200- c. 500 BCEVillanovan Culture: c. 900-700 BCE (Etruscan)The Orientalising Period: c. 700-500 BCE (Etruscan)The Archaic Period: 800-500 BCE (Rome)The Early Republic: 509-400 BCE (Rome)The Rise of Rome?Dr Fulminante takes us through the early settlements of the Bronze Age and the transition to permanent structures in stone rather than perishable materials that occurs in from the 8th century BCE onwards. What does the evidence suggest for the development of ancient cities and the interconnections between them? Tune in to find out!Things to listen out for:V.

In this season of Toxic Silence, we've been exploring how silence can wound us—how unspoken truths, unmet needs, and lost attunement create toxic patterns in our lives. Today's conversation takes us straight into the heart of that theme.When we talk about lost attunement, we're really talking about one of the earliest forms of toxic silence: the silence of a parent who doesn't respond, mirror, or truly see us. That silence says: your feelings don't matter, your voice doesn't matter, you don't matter. And it leaves a lasting legacy.For boys, this may show up as hyper-toughness or emotional collapse, carrying unprocessed feelings into adult relationships—sometimes as passivity, resentment, or a split between façade and hidden shame. For girls, it can look like over-performance, constant giving, or waiting for rescue, fantasy, or validation.Underneath it all lies the same deep longing: a desire to repair the original wound of emotional abandonment. Often, we unconsciously recreate these dynamics in relationships, perpetuating cycles of silence, avoidance, and unspoken pain.Our guest today is Hawatea Bryson, a powerful therapist and friend who works deeply with couples on these themes. She explores what she calls silent relationships—how lost attunement shows up between partners, keeps us stuck, and what it takes to finally find repair.In this episode, we discuss:How silence becomes toxic in relationshipsThe different ways men and women carry the legacy of lost attunementHow to move from being silenced to reclaiming your authentic voiceBecause silence shapes us—but when it's met, named, and transformed, it can also set us free.www.natureknows.co
