In this week's solo episode, John Casmon steps away from guest interviews to break down one of the most misunderstood topics in multifamily investing: underwriting. After speaking at the Big Deal Summit in Columbus, John shares the real-world framework he uses to analyze deals—not just in spreadsheets, but in practice. From setting clear investment criteria to identifying operational inefficiencies, John walks through how successful investors combine vision, market insight, and execution to drive lasting results.     Make sure to download our free guide, 7 Questions Every Passive Investor Should Ask, here.     Key Takeaways Underwriting isn't about the spreadsheet—it's about the vision, people, and execution Always define your buy box and end goals before analyzing numbers Focus on markets with both macro strength and micro-level renter desirability Investors don't pay premiums for plumbing or electric—focus on visible value Operational inefficiencies are gold if you know how to identify and fix them Don't assume you can operate better than a seasoned owner without proof Stress test your assumptions: What happens if the plan breaks?     Topics The Real Goal of Underwriting Spreadsheets don't reflect operations—real estate is about people, not numbers Get clarity on what kind of asset and community you're trying to build Defining Your Buy Box Understand your own criteria before chasing ROI or IRR Why Cincinnati and surrounding markets meet John's standards for long-term growth Macro and Micro Market Selection How renter desirability shapes submarket selection Population growth ≠ renter demand—context matters Value-Add the Right Way Tenants won't pay more for new pipes—focus on kitchens, lighting, appliances Target properties with updated mechanicals so your upgrades actually add value Operational Inefficiencies to Look For Low occupancy, slow turn times, bloated expenses, and misaligned staffing Why seasoned operators aren't always "mismanaging"—stay humble Creating vs. Assuming Value Ask questions before opening a spreadsheet—what is the business plan? Don't guess your way through the numbers; know what levers create value Stress Testing the Deal Underwrite break-even points and failure scenarios Real story: How one business plan unraveled when resident profiles clashed Final Thoughts on Strategy Vision before budget—start with what you want to create IRR matters, but timing and exit assumptions often fail Know your buyer—plan your renovations around future investor demand    

As today's teacher notes, self-compassion is different from self-esteem. Relying on building up our self-esteem tends to lead us to need a lot of external validation in order to feel ok. Instead, self-compassion is the idea that even with all of our flaws, we can still care about ourselves and see ourselves as infinitely worthy of love and belonging.  In this extended 30-minute practice, mindfulness teacher Diana Winston guides us through a process to get familiar with our self-judging voice and how we relate to our flaws, so that we can nurture compassion and recognize our own worthiness. Diana Winston is the Director of Mindfulness Education at UCLA's Mindful Awareness Research Center and author of several books including The Little Book of Being: Practices and Guidance for Uncovering your Natural Awareness. Note that there is an extended silent pause in the middle of this recording to give extra time to practice.  The transcription of this guided meditation will be online at Mindful.org next week.  Stay curious, stay inspired.

Go Deeper We all have an interior voice that keeps a running commentary on everything we do. Occasionally that voice is encouraging or kind, but often it isn't. The thing is, most of us aren't even consciously aware of this constant internal chatter. We just think it's reality. Mindfulness gives us the tools to notice, recognize, and work with this mental monologue in ways that improve our ability to learn from mistakes, be accountable, make amends, and grow as people.

In this conversation, Remi Warren discusses the importance of using binoculars effectively while hunting. He emphasizes that hunters should utilize their optics to enhance their ability to spot wildlife, likening binoculars to a superpower that can significantly improve the hunting experience. Warren shares insights on how to approach wildlife observation and the necessity of actively looking through optics rather than relying on chance. Takeaways Using binoculars is essential for spotting animals. You need to actively look through your optics. Binoculars provide a significant advantage in hunting. Seeing a place you want to look is key. Many hunters do not utilize their optics effectively. Optics can enhance your wildlife observation skills. You have to put your glass to your face. Relying on eyesight alone is not effective. Understanding how to use optics is crucial. Hunting success can be improved with proper optics usage.

Opening Remarks The purpose of gathering is to worship God, not to focus on Elder Roger or songs. Expresses being 70 years old, soon to be 71, and aware of having more past than future. There is no fear of death because of knowing what awaits after life. The message has been on Elder Roger's heart, waiting for divine guidance on when to share it. Decided to speak after being asked by Brother Tommy and seeking God's direction. Relying on the Lord and aiming to convey what God has laid on their heart. Scripture Reading and Prayer Reading from Isaiah 41. Specific verses mentioned: Isaiah 41:10, 41:13, 2 Timothy 1:7 Prayer for divine help in delivering the message. Asking God to step aside and allow God's will to be done. Overcoming Fear Through Faith Reiterates not fearing what is coming because of faith in God. God loves people enough to help them through difficulties. Criticizes Christians who worry excessively. Example: People walking around with their heads down and wringing their hands. If you have God in your heart, don't worry about what's going to happen. Reference to the story of the three men in the fiery furnace. God brought them out unharmed. Reference to the Israelites crossing the Red Sea. God opened the sea to save them from the pursuing army. God will not let you perish and loves you enough to save your soul. God's Unfailing Support Emphasizes the phrase "Fear not" from Isaiah 41:13. Personal testimony of experiencing God's support through difficult times. God was holding my hand. God lifts people up when they are down and out. God can take you up out of the marty clay. Just call upon his holy name. God will not let his children down. Personal belief in God's love and sacrifice. God sent his only begotten son to die for his old boy. Serving God and Rejecting Fear Many people don't want to call on God anymore. God wants people to serve him and have access to all available blessings. God has a storehouse of blessings. Reference to 2 Timothy 1:7: "For God hath not given us the spirit of fear, but of power and of love and of a sound mind." Acknowledges not having a great natural mind but knowing that God loves them. That's the most important thing in my life at this time, that God loves me and he watches over me. Sound Mind Through God God gives a sound mind to know right from wrong. A sound mind helps recognize when one is acting against God's will. When God changes your heart, he gives you a sound mind to know what you're doing good or doing wrong. That's our mission.

From professional wakeboarder to CEO managing $250M+ in commercial real estate investments, Nick Jones shares proven strategies for building successful real estate businesses through strategic partnerships, effective capital raising, and protecting investor interests. In this episode of the DealQuest Podcast, host Corey Kupfer sits down with Nick Jones, CEO of Alakai Capital, who has underwritten and acquired over 70 commercial investments and developments representing more than $250 million in value. Nick currently oversees 800,000+ square feet of industrial, retail, office, and medical assets across multiple states. WHAT YOU'LL LEARN: In this episode, you'll discover how to raise outside capital for your first commercial real estate deal while protecting downside risk, why syndication can work better than funds when you can close deals quickly with trusted investors, and the surprising truth about "off-market" deals versus listed properties in today's transparent market. Nick shares how to build broker relationships that generate consistent deal flow without constantly hunting for opportunities, due diligence strategies when high-credit tenants won't share financial information, and why Covid flipped conventional wisdom about credit tenants versus mom and pop operators. You'll also learn about the strategic value of balancing consistent real estate returns with selective angel investments, how to navigate market trends including drive-through retail and efficiency-focused opportunities, and what freedom means beyond just financial independence. NICK'S JOURNEY: Nick's path wasn't linear. Growing up near Microsoft and Nintendo in Redmond, Washington, he found real estate "incredibly boring" until witnessing how it connected to fascinating industries. After his father and grandfather passed away during his senior year of high school, Nick moved to Florida to pursue professional wakeboarding, eventually earning a podium finish at the World Championships in 2011 while graduating summa cum laude from the University of Central Florida. The dean of UCF's real estate program, whose son was also a professional athlete, reignited Nick's interest in commercial real estate investment and development. Nick started in land brokerage during 2011-2012 when Florida land was worth less than the buildings next to it, learning through challenging cold calls to developers. FIRST DEAL LESSONS: Nick's entry into investing came through a vacant Taco Bell property. Working with a broker partner, they secured the building, signed a 10-year lease with a new tenant, and only had to replace the HVAC and roof. The timing proved fortunate - securing 80% loan to value at 2% interest on an interest-only basis during the post-financial crisis recovery. That first deal taught valuable lessons about protecting downside risk and building tenant relationships while delivering one of his strongest returns ever. CAPITAL RAISING EVOLUTION: For his first capital raise, Nick bought an old bank branch all cash with plans to tear it down and build a quick service restaurant. To protect downside risk as a new sponsor, he structured it with no debt and two years of interest and tax reserves. After approaching friends' parents, fellow brokers, and creating a detailed investment memorandum, a tenant approached wanting to lease the existing building as-is with a 10-year lease. Nick refinanced at 50% LTV, pulled equity out, and used those proceeds to buy a second deal. That snowball effect has grown to approximately 100 investors making about 500 investments with his company. KEY INSIGHTS: Nick continues syndicating individual deals instead of raising funds because his deals follow similar patterns with consistent return theses. This approach gives investors freedom to select which markets and property types align with their preferences while maintaining speed to close. Managing investor capital creates heightened responsibility that sharpens every aspect of deal execution. Nick approaches it similarly to personally guaranteeing loans - while losing your own capital is unfortunate, losing someone else's carries profound implications for relationships and reputation. The biggest lesson from deals that didn't go as planned: contracts matter, but people matter just as much. When tenants respond unusually quickly to lease documents without redlines for 10-15 year commitments, it raises red flags. During Covid, high-credit tenants had attorneys advising them to stop paying rent while small bay industrial mom and pop tenants maintained perfect payment records. BROKER RELATIONSHIPS: The majority of Nick's deals come through brokers he's built long-term relationships with over years. These relationships prove valuable because brokers trust Nick will maintain confidentiality, move quickly through underwriting, and they understand his investment criteria. After years of exchanging deals and feedback, brokers know which opportunities match his thesis. MARKET TRENDS: Interest rate movements create near-term positivity while inflation continues hitting sectors unevenly, creating inefficiencies and opportunities. The retail apocalypse predictions following Covid haven't materialized because people still crave experiences. Drive-throughs represent a clear trend as efficiency becomes paramount - almost every concept has figured out how to use them successfully, including Chipotle proving the model works for food types that seemed ill-suited initially. Perfect for real estate investors considering raising outside capital, operators building broker networks, and anyone interested in how successful commercial real estate investors structure deals and protect investor capital.FOR MORE ON THIS EPISODE: https://www.coreykupfer.com/blog/nickjones FOR MORE ON NICK JONES:https://www.alakai-capital.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/company/alakaicapital/https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjonesrealestate/https://www.instagram.com/alakaicapital/ FOR MORE ON COREY KUPFERhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/coreykupfer/https://www.coreykupfer.com/ Corey Kupfer is an expert strategist, negotiator, and dealmaker.

Comment on the Show by Sending Mark a Text Message.Think you're protecting yourself by forwarding emails, saving pay spreadsheets, and uploading screenshots to a chatbot before HR lowers the boom? That impulse can turn a strong discrimination or retaliation claim into a story about you breaking the rules. We walk through the hidden legal traps that many employees miss—confidentiality agreements, acceptable use policies, non-disparagement clauses—and how employers flip those mistakes into a ready-made defense.We pull back the curtain on the “retaliation playbook”: IT flags unusual downloads, HR opens a policy investigation, and termination arrives with a “legitimate, non-retaliatory reason.” Then comes after-acquired evidence to limit damages, motions to exclude improperly obtained documents, and the credibility battle that distracts from your core allegations. We also break down the whistleblower myth. Some statutes can protect targeted document retention, but coverage is narrow, fact-specific, jurisdiction-dependent, and easy to lose. Relying on Title VII's anti-retaliation language to excuse broad data grabs is a costly mistake.The AI trap gets special attention. Uploading company files to a chatbot creates discoverable records, waives privilege, and can breach your NDA. It also invites arguments that you were case-shopping, not reporting unlawful conduct. Instead of risking counterclaims and evidence exclusions, follow the safer path: consult an employment lawyer early, use contemporaneous personal notes, make formal complaints that trigger preservation, consider agency filings like the EEOC to lock in holds, and deploy preservation letters to prevent deletion. We close with a practical checklist of do nots and smart alternatives that keep your claim strong and the focus on the employer's conduct.If this conversation could save a colleague from a self-inflicted wound, share it.

Ever had a patient swear their bite feels “off” - even though the articulating paper marks look perfect and you've adjusted everything twice over? Or maybe you've placed a beautiful quadrant of onlays, only to have them return saying, “these three teeth still feel proud.” If that sounds familiar, you're not alone. In this episode, I'm joined (in my car, no less!) by Dr. Robert Kerstein, who was back in the UK to teach about digital occlusion and the power of the T-Scan and ‘disclusion time reduction therapy'. We dig into why a patient's bite can still feel “off” even when everything looks right, how timing is just as important as force, and why splints and Botox don't always solve TMD. Robert explains why micro-occlusion is the real game-changer, how scanners could mislead you, and why dentistry still clings to articulating paper. So if you've ever wondered why “perfect” cases still come back with bite complaints, or whether timing data can actually prevent fractures and headaches, this episode will give you plenty to chew on - pun intended. https://youtu.be/0lCAsjFhsXI Watch PDP247 on YouTube Key Takeaways: Micro-occlusion, not just “dots and lines,” is the real driver of patient comfort and long-term tooth health. T-Scan measures both force and timing, which scanners and articulating paper cannot capture. Many patients show signs of occlusal damage without symptoms. Disclusion Time Reduction (DTR) treats TMD neurologically without splints, Botox, or TENS. Relying on occlusograms alone for guiding reduction is risky. Dentists can reduce post-treatment complaints by balancing micro-occlusion with T-Scan. Adopting T-Scan requires proper training. CR can be a convenient reference point, but MIP works well in most cases if micro-occlusion is managed. Objective, repeatable data builds patient trust and provides medico-legal reassurance.

Richard Epstein discusses the Supreme Court oral hearing on the tariffs Mr. Trump imposed, relying on a vague 1977 law concerning emergencies and regulating imports. Epstein predicts a split decision, noting that the president's actions go far beyond accepted practices. The court must interpret the fuzzy line between legitimate legal authority and its abuse.

In this special episode of American Thought Leaders, I visited the Food Independence Summit, an annual event dedicated to homesteading, sustainable living, and reclaiming food autonomy, in Walnut Creek, Ohio. The 2025 summit, with a theme of “Seed to Spoon,” took place in mid-June earlier this year in the heart of Ohio's Amish country.Homesteaders, farmers, gardeners, educators, and healthy food advocates spent two days together participating in hands-on workshops, listening to keynote presentations, and networking with like-minded people.For many Americans, the COVID-19 pandemic exposed the fragility of supply chains, including the food supply chain. The summit's focus was on learning how to grow, preserve, and prepare homegrown food.While at the summit, I spoke with organizer John Miller to learn about the philosophy behind this growing homesteading and self-sufficiency movement. I also spoke with renowned farmer Joel Salatin about what new trends he's seeing.I even got some hands-on practice pressure-canning beef tacos with the help of Sarah Thrush, a canning expert and social media influencer.“There's a lot of reasons people can, but one of them is so they can decide what goes in the jar, like if you have health concerns, or if you want to know what your food is sourced from, or you just like your chili recipe and you want it in bulk,” Thrush said. “It's like the ultimate meal prep.”I also spoke to physician Julian Douwes, who flew to Ohio all the way from Germany. Dr. Douwes is the director at Clinicum St. Georg in Bad Aibling, Germany, where they developed the first known cure for Lyme disease. Many people in the Ohio Amish community suffer from Lyme disease. Miller himself was cured from an awful case of the disease through this therapy, called whole-body hyperthermia.Views expressed in this video are opinions of the host and the guest and do not necessarily reflect the views of The Epoch Times.

In this episode of their Serving Up Pitt volleyball podcast, Post-Gazette insider Abby Schnable and former Panthers player Cat Flood take a look at everything surrounding the team after last weekend's breezy win over Duke and their victory in a five-set battle with North Carolina. Will the Panthers be better prepared for the postseason after dealing with all of these close, five-set matches? Olivia Babcock finished with 45 kills against the Tar Heels, breaking the program record she set just two weeks prior vs. Louisville, but is Pitt relying on her too much? Who could step up as a consistent No. 2 hitter for the Panthers? And how much does it help the Panthers that players like Ryla Jones and Mallorie Meyer are coming into their own? Our duo answers those questions and more. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for advertising.

This Q&A episode addresses listener questions following Monday's "Bad Advice vs Good Advice" episode.We dive into practical implementation strategies for moving away from willpower-based approaches to psychologically sound methods that work with human nature instead of against it.Important Points CoveredBuilding Systems vs. Relying on WillpowerCreating Flexible Boundaries Without Losing ControlPreparing for Obstacles vs. Negative ThinkingBuilding Momentum with Small ChangesDistinguishing Self-Trust from Making ExcusesMeasuring Progress DifferentlyMoving from bad advice to good advice requires changing not just what you do, but how you think about the entire process. You're not broken for struggling with willpower-based approaches - you're human. Start with one system-building approach and practice it consistently before adding more complexity.Key Takeaway"Progress isn't perfection - it's consciousness." The goal isn't to never struggle with food choices, but to make those choices from a place of awareness rather than unconscious reaction. Building systems that work with your psychology creates sustainable change that doesn't require superhuman willpower.

Hain Celestial Group v. Palmquist | 11/04/25 | Docket #: 24-724 24-724 HAIN CELESTIAL GROUP V. PALMQUIST DECISION BELOW: 103 F.4th 294 CERT. GRANTED 4/28/2025 QUESTION PRESENTED: Respondents, citizens of Texas, filed this products-liability suit in state court against Petitioners Hain Celestial Group, Inc., then a citizen of Delaware and New York, and Whole Foods, Inc., a citizen of Texas. Hain removed based on diversity jurisdiction, arguing that Whole Foods should be dismissed as fraudulently joined. The district court agreed, dismissing Whole Foods with prejudice. After two additional years of federal- court litigation and a two-week jury trial, the district court granted judgment as a matter of law to Hain. On appeal, without ruling on the merits, the Fifth Circuit held that the district court erred in dismissing Whole Foods, vacated the final judgment, and ordered the matter remanded to state court to start from scratch. Relying on Respondents' post- removal amended complaint, the panel held, in conflict with several other courts of appeals, that the district court lacked jurisdiction to enter judgment as to the completely diverse parties before it. The questions presented are: 1. Whether a district court's final judgment as to completely diverse parties must be vacated when an appellate court later determines that it erred by dismissing a non-diverse party at the time of removal. 2. Whether a plaintiff may defeat diversity jurisdiction after removal by amending the complaint to add factual allegations that state a colorable claim against a nondiverse party when the complaint at the time of removal did not state such a claim LOWER COURT CASE NUMBER: 23-40197

In this episode of the Wine and Gold Talk podcast, Ethan Sands and Chris Fedor break down the Cavaliers' 117-109 win over the Hawks. Another night Donovan Mitchell had to save them. His “superhero” return masked a team firing up 57 threes and still searching for an offensive rhythm without Darius Garland and Jarrett Allen. The guys question how long Cleveland can lean on Mitchell's heroics and chaos from deep because this version of Cavs basketball isn't built to last. Learn more about your ad choices.

Generative AI is just high-tech brainwashing. It's the next level of propaganda indoctrination. It is there to turn our brains into useless sludge which cannot function without technological crutches controlled by the imperial plutocrats. Reading by Tim Foley.

Did you know that the concept of spiritual covering originated from the "Shepherding Movement" in the 1970s? Many prideful leaders are pounding ungodly doctrine down the throats of many wounded Christians ... manipulating and trying to gain control over souls, which is a form of witchcraft. This pattern is still being witnessed in various churches and on social media as a worldly recognition; often involving occult impartations and the glorification of self! A spiritual covering is NOT required for accountability. Let's be clear: You're covering and ultimate authority belongs to God, NOT man! Be wary of leaders who twist Scripture and prioritize submission to themselves over God. There are dangers of occult traditions and rituals that glorify self and place humans as divine authority, my friends! Spiritual coverings are a SCAM: You're covering comes from our Creator, not His creation!

She shares her experiences from 2006 and emphasizes that while the tools and technology have evolved, the fundamental principles of successful retirement planning remain the same. Key Takeaways

Episode Summary: This episode of the Rich Mind Podcast tackles one of the biggest hidden sources of unhappiness: our expectations. Randy and Greg explore the "happiness gap"—the space between our current reality and the future we expect—and how this gap dictates our level of satisfaction in life. They discuss the two primary forms of toxic expectations: those we place on others (often leading to disappointment) and the unrealistic, self-imposed expectations we place on ourselves (often leading to burnout and self-sabotage). Drawing on wisdom from Jim Rohn and Earl Nightingale, this conversation is a guide to letting go of rigid outcomes, practicing gratitude for the present, and cultivating a healthy sense of expectancy for a great future without being attached to the details.   Key Takeaways:   Your level of happiness is determined by the size of the gap between your expectations and your current reality.   Placing rigid expectations on other people is a setup for disappointment, as you cannot control their actions. We often carry childhood disappointments (like Randy's Trans Am story) into our adult lives, creating a paradigm of expecting the worst. There is a crucial difference between having high standards and having unrealistic, self-sabotaging expectations of yourself. You can't force inspiration or progress; sometimes, the most productive thing you can do is give yourself grace and relax. A powerful framework for a happy life, from Earl Nightingale, is to combine daily gratitude for what you have with a positive expectancy for what's to come. A great journal prompt to uncover hidden frustrations is: "What expectation is driving my frustration right now?"   Questions Answered in This Episode:   How do our expectations directly affect our happiness? Why is placing expectations on other people a recipe for disappointment? How can you stop setting unrealistic expectations for yourself? What is the difference between healthy expectancy and toxic expectations? How can you give yourself grace without losing your drive to achieve? What did Earl Nightingale mean by "gratitude and expectancy"? How can journaling help you identify and manage your expectations? How do you find the balance between having ambitious goals and being happy in the present moment?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms:   People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale. Concepts: Expectations, Happiness Gap, Disappointment, Self-Sabotage, Gratitude, Expectancy, Grace, Personal Development, Journaling, Paradigms. Programs Mentioned: Challenge to Succeed (Jim Rohn), Lead the Field (Earl Nightingale).   Key Episode Timestamps   00:00 - Introduction: The Happiness Gap Between Expectations and Reality 03:23 - The Core Question: Should We Even Have Expectations of Other People? 04:20 - A Powerful Story: Randy's Trans Am and the Pain of Childhood Disappointment 09:46 - The Danger of Relying on Expectations vs. Simply Allowing 11:15 - The Wisdom of Giving Without Expecting Anything in Return 15:15 - Key Insight: Are Your Self-Imposed Expectations Sabotaging Your Joy? 18:30 - What Do You Truly Want vs. What Do You Expect? 19:30 - Earl Nightingale's Formula: The Power of Gratitude + Expectancy 22:37 - An Actionable Tool: A Journal Prompt to Uncover Your Frustrations 25:00 - A Real-Life Example of Giving Yourself Grace (The Podcast Deadline) 31:31 - It's Your Choice: Don't Let Expectations Be Chosen For You

Proverbs 2:1-8 NLTMy child, listen to what I say, and treasure my commands. Tune your ears to wisdom, and concentrate on understanding. Cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. Search for them as you would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.  Then you will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and you will gain knowledge of God. For the Lord grants wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to the honest. He is a shield to those who walk with integrity. He guards the paths of the just and protects those who are faithful to him.As we look around in our culture today, it's getting harder and harder to find those who truly treasure God's commands, those who seek them like hidden treasures.Let me ask you … do you want to gain the knowledge of God? Would you like a treasure of common sense and to have your integrity be like a shield to protect your life? For your path to be guarded and your life protected?Let's personalize Solomon's words for us today, as our declaration:I WILL listen to what You say, and WILL treasure Your commands. I WILL tune my ears to wisdom, and WILL concentrate on understanding. I WILL cry out for insight, and ask for understanding. I WILL search for them as I would for silver; seek them like hidden treasures.  Then I will understand what it means to fear the Lord, and I will gain knowledge of God. For the Lord grants me wisdom! From his mouth come knowledge and understanding. He grants a treasure of common sense to me as I am honest. He is a shield to me as I walk with integrity. He guards my path to be just and protects me as I am faithful to him. (Proverbs 2:1-8 NLT)Gods wisdom is the only treasure worth seeking. Treasure available to us freely, upon asking. Relying on our understanding is futile when living a committed life in Christ. What is one area of your life that you can bring before the Lord today and ask for His wisdom to guide you?Let's pray together: “Father, guide me to align my life priorities with You and Your ways and Your will. Take my life, all I have and don't have, all I want and all I need and help me to seek You as my Treasure to find contentment and satisfaction in my life. As above, so below.”

Circular business models can drive new revenue streams, build brand strength, customer loyalty, and market traction, while also unlocking value through resource efficiency, cost savings, and reduced risk to supply chain volatility. But there is often too much focus on short-term gains in revenue or sustainability and waste reduction metrics, while overlooking their full business value. In the third part of our mini series on the Ellen MacArthur Foundation's new report: How not to fail: Avoiding 10 common pitfalls when scaling circular business models, we hear how, when circular business models are pitched primarily around sustainability, internal commitment is lower.Pippa is joined by the report's lead researchers, Maddy Oliver and Ella Hedley, to explore why circular business models rarely scale without a strong, broad financial case. They also talk about the need for more commercial collaboration.

Most new coaches start by throwing everything into social media—posting, tweaking, chasing the algorithm—hoping it leads to clients. But here's the truth: social media is fleeting. A post lives for a few hours (maybe days). A podcast episode can work for you for years. In this episode of The Coaching Edge, I'm sharing why I believe podcasting is the single most powerful top-of-funnel tool for coaches, and how it has worked for me in both my personal coaching practice (Bite-Sized Balance) and my business coaching work (The Coaching Edge). I'll walk you through five hidden benefits of podcasting most coaches don't think about, from the fact that you own your podcast (no algorithm stress), to the way long-form audio builds real trust, to the evergreen power of episodes that continue to convert years later. (I still sign new 1:1 clients from Bite-Sized Balance—a podcast I wrapped up over two years ago.) You'll also get an inside look at my funnel model and how my podcast fits into it. Each episode flows naturally into my freebies, my low-ticket workshops, and then into my Business Building Bootcamp Open Houses. From there, the right-fit clients join BBB or my more premium offers. It's a simple, low-pressure funnel that works because the podcast does the heavy lifting of building trust. And I'll tackle the three biggest pushbacks I hear from coaches about podcasting: “Isn't it too expensive?” (Nope—editing and hosting can be surprisingly affordable), “Doesn't it take too much time?” (Not if you keep it simple with short episodes, and/or bi-monthly publishing, and tools like ChatGPT), and “But I don't know anyone to interview” (You don't need guests—your expertise and coaching tools are more than enough). Here's the truth: podcasting isn't as hard, expensive, or time-consuming as it looks from the outside. And the ROI is dramatically better than what you'll get by pouring your energy into social media posts that disappear overnight. If you've been on the fence about starting a podcast—or if you're wondering how to use one strategically to grow your business—this episode will give you both the inspiration and the practical steps to get started.

If you're in the thick of eating disorder recovery right now and wondering if it's ever going to get easier, this episode is for you. Maybe you had a rough week with food. Maybe you're exhausted from fighting the same battles in your head every single day. Maybe you're wondering if recovery is even worth it because right now it just feels so incredibly hard. In this episode, Lindsey gets real about hard times in recovery and shares a truth that will change how you see your struggle: there are only three possible outcomes when you're going through something hard, and what you choose determines everything about your recovery and your future. This isn't a "just think positive" pep talk. This is truth-telling, no-nonsense guidance about why hard times don't last forever—but only if you refuse to stay stuck in them. If you're ready to stop waiting for recovery to magically get easier and start building the resilience you need to actually get better, this episode will show you how. What You'll Learn: The only 3 possible outcomes when you're in a hard season of recovery (and why understanding this changes everything) Why quitting doesn't actually end the hard time—it just makes it last longer The difference between "it getting better" and "you getting better" (and why only one leads to lasting freedom) How to stop waiting for circumstances to change and start actively participating in your own healing Why hard times only end when you decide they end—not when you feel ready How to make decisions from your healed self instead of your wounded self What it really means to move through hard times instead of staying stuck in them The 3 Outcomes of Hard Times: Outcome #1: You Quit Quitting looks like going back to restriction because it feels safer. It's skipping meals after a bad body image day. It's choosing what's familiar over what will set you free. When you quit moving forward, the hard time doesn't end—it just becomes your new normal. Outcome #2: It Gets Better Sometimes circumstances change and the external situation improves. But if YOU don't change? You're just waiting for the next hard time to come along. You'll always be one comment away from spiraling, one trigger away from old patterns. Outcome #3: You Get Better This is where your power lives. This is where transformation happens. When YOU get better, you learn to nourish your body even when you don't feel deserving. You challenge food rules. You sit with emotions instead of controlling them through food or exercise. You make decisions from your healed self. Key Takeaways: ✨ Hard times don't last forever—but they also don't end just because you want them to. They end when you choose to move through them. ✨ There are only 3 outcomes: you quit, it gets better, or you get better. Only one leads to lasting freedom. ✨ When you quit, the hard time doesn't disappear—it just continues and becomes your normal. ✨ Relying on circumstances to improve keeps you at the mercy of triggers and external situations. ✨ You getting better means actively participating in your own healing, not just hoping things change. ✨ The hard time becomes your identity when you refuse to move forward—it becomes who you are instead of something you're moving through. ✨ Choosing to get better is hard, but staying stuck is harder. Wake up a year from now in the same place or choose to do the work now. Powerful Quotes from This Episode: "Hard times don't last forever. They don't. But only if you refuse to stay stuck in them." "Hard times end when you decide they end. Not when circumstances are perfect. Not when you feel ready. Not when it's easy. They end when you decide to keep moving forward even when it's hard." "When you quit, the hard time doesn't actually end. It just continues. It stretches out. It becomes your new normal." "When YOU get better, it doesn't matter as much what the circumstances are. When YOU get better, you have tools to work through triggers." "You don't have to stay here. You don't have to live in this hard time forever. But you do have to choose to move through it." "The hard time you're in right now? It's not forever. It's not your ending. It's not your identity. It's just a chapter. And you get to write what comes next." Real Talk: This episode delivers no-nonsense truth: the eating disorder wants you to believe you'll always feel this way, but that's a lie. You don't have to stay stuck. But you do have to choose outcome #3—to get better. That means showing up when you don't feel like it, doing the opposite of what the disorder tells you, and trusting the process even when you can't see results yet. What's harder than doing the work? Waking up years from now still fighting the same battles because you never chose to get better. Questions to Ask Yourself: Am I quitting on myself in this moment? Am I waiting for circumstances to change, or am I choosing to change? Am I making decisions from my healed self or my wounded self? What would it look like for ME to get better, not just for IT to get better? Am I refusing to move forward and making this hard time my identity? Ready to Choose Outcome #3? If you're ready to stop staying stuck and start getting better, you don't have to do it alone.
