You need more clients. So you start posting more, creating more content, tweaking your offer, or wondering if you need an entirely new strategy.But what if you're starting in the wrong place?In this episode, I'm breaking down exactly what I do when I need clients—and why creating more content is NOT the first step in my sales process.Instead, I'm walking you through the simple sales system I use to figure out how many sales I actually need, identify potential clients already in my world, generate new leads, nurture relationships, follow up, make offers, and track what's actually happening in my pipeline.We're talking about:How to turn “I need more clients” into an actual sales goalWhy I start with warm leads before looking for new onesHow I approach lead generation without cold pitching strangersWhat it actually means to nurture potential clientsWhy following up is part of serving people wellHow to build and work a simple sales pipelineThe numbers I look at before changing an offer, sales page, or strategyWhy sales shouldn't become an emergency every time you need moneyBecause you don't need to spend all day selling—and you definitely don't need to spend all day creating content just to keep your business profitable.You need a simple, intentional sales process you can return to again and again.Know the goal. Generate leads. Work your pipeline. Nurture. Follow up. Make offers. Track. Repeat.You don't have to spend all day selling.But you do have to sell on purpose.If you're wondering which part of YOUR sales process needs attention right now, start with the 10-Minute Sales Reset. I'll walk you through your leads, pipeline, sales activity, and numbers so you can identify the gap and know what to focus on next.Links mentioned / referenced in this episode:10-Minute Sales Reset: https://momsdobusinessdifferent.com/10minutesalesreset

Small Cap Breaking News You Can't Miss!Here's a quick rundown of the latest updates from standout small-cap companies making big moves today:NuRAN Wireless Inc. (Nasdaq: NUR) (FSE: 1RN)NuRAN is piloting licensed Starlink low-Earth-orbit satellite backhaul in Nigeria with partner Infratel to boost throughput and revenue at its rural mobile sites. The company finances, builds and operates more than 5,000 contracted sites across Africa and views backhaul as the lever to carry more traffic and add services without expanding its tower footprint. A successful pilot could become a repeatable model across the DRC, Cote d'Ivoire, Benin and Cameroon.Zefiro Methane Corp. (Cboe CA: ZEFI) (FSE: Y6B) (OTCQB: ZEFIF)Zefiro completed the plugging of two oil and gas wells inside Cuyahoga Valley National Park near Cleveland, its second engagement in the park under a contract awarded in June 2026. The National Park Service still has roughly 1,800 wells to address across at least 47 parks, and Ohio remains one of Zefiro's most active markets. Repeat work in a high-visibility federal setting underscores the company's execution as the national orphaned-well cleanup accelerates.ICG Silver & Gold Ltd. (CSE: ICG) (FSE: JI0) (OTC Pink: ICGSF)ICG intersected 24.3 metres of 10.14 g/t gold, including 4.6 metres of 51.84 g/t gold and 1.5 metres of 137.0 g/t gold, at its Battle Mountain target in the Tuscarora District, Nevada. All six of the first reverse-circulation holes hit gold and/or silver, validating the company's structural targeting on newly staked ground. Assays from six more holes are pending, with an inaugural resource estimate targeted for Q1 2027.Cabral Gold Inc. (TSXV: CBR) (OTCQX: CBGZF)Cabral completed its first gold sale from the 100%-owned Cuiu Cuiu district in Para, Brazil, selling over 2,400 ounces of dore at an average net realized price above US$4,200 per ounce. The milestone marks the start of revenue from the Phase 1 gold-in-oxide heap-leach operation, which remains on schedule and budget for commercial production in Q4 2026. Management is now focused on ramping throughput and recoveries toward design capacity.Grid Metals Corp. (TSXV: GRDM) (OTCQB: MSMGF)Grid Metals reported a maiden cesium-dominant resource at its Lucy South deposit in Manitoba: a measured 51,500 tonnes at 2.58% Cs2O, enclosing a higher-grade pollucite zone of 15,600 tonnes at 5.19% Cs2O. Held in a joint venture with Agnico Eagle subsidiary Avenir, the near-surface deposit is now the world's second-largest cesium resource in active development. Cesium is a designated critical mineral, and Grid is advancing toward metallurgical testing and permitting.Kobrea Exploration Corp. (CSE: KBX) (FSE: F3I) (OTCQB: KBXFF)Kobrea's exploration alliance with BHP Metals Exploration approved a US$4 million work program for the 2026/2027 season at its Western Malargue copper projects in Mendoza, Argentina, fully funded by BHP. The program includes diamond drilling at the El Destino copper-gold-molybdenum porphyry prospect plus property-wide geochemistry and geophysics across the 733 square-kilometre package. BHP funding provides validation and a well-capitalized path to advance multiple porphyry targets.Arizona Gold & Silver Inc. (TSXV: AZS) (OTCQB: AZASF)Arizona Gold & Silver intersected 43.59 metres at 1.48 g/t gold, including 7.04 metres at 4.24 g/t gold, along with a separate 70.41 metres at 1.16 g/t gold at its Philadelphia project in Mohave County, Arizona. The new holes extend the Perry Zone down-dip and point to continued drilling to depth and to the north. Two additional holes are underway to test the system's growth.Bottom Line: Today's headlines were dominated by high-grade gold and critical-mineral drill results, maiden resources and a first gold sale, alongside milestones in rural connectivity and environmental remediation -- a broad show of small-cap momentum across mining and technology.

Memory recall is not like a videotape; our brains add our emotions, beliefs about ourselves, and more when we remember a moment in time. How do the stories we remember about ourselves shape who we think we are? Research shows that how we remember our past can greatly affect how we react to similar experiences in the future, creating patterns of behavior based on these responses.Key TakeawaysOur brains tend to remember key events or conversations that we then use as reference for future interactions and experiences.These beliefs can be both positive and negative, but can change how we see ourselves in specific situations or roles, i.e., being unlucky or lucky, “good” or “bad” at certain things.Whether for ourselves or for others, reshaping narratives that entrench us in cycles of self-doubt or harmful cycles can change the pattern of behavior.In relation to trauma, a survivor's recall of events can change over hours, days, and years after the event. This makes trauma-informed education and credibility assessment training vital for understanding memory recall and its variability.We can reconstruct memories over time with new perspectives, beliefs, and additional experiences that are always changing.Resources MentionedNarrative Identity research: Dan McAdams, "Narrative Identity," Handbook of Identity Theory and Research, January 2011.Repeat victimization: Deborah Lamm Weisel, Analyzing Repeat Victimization, August 2005.Memory reconstruction: "Speaking of Psychology: How memory can be manipulated, with Elizabeth Loftus, PhD."

This is becoming the defining story of the 2026 San Francisco 49ers. They win. Someone goes down. They win again. Someone else goes down. Repeat. Three weeks in and this team is undefeated, NFC favorites, always hurt, and has Purdy playing OUT OF HIS MIND. They're all alone in first place in the NFC West. Also, someone else probably got hurt while I was tying this.

UX design burnout doesn't come from working too many hours. That's one of Marc Aquino's hot takes in this episode, and once it sits with you, it's hard to keep blaming the hours.Marc is senior product design manager at Deel, a global HR and payroll platform helping companies hire and pay employees and contractors in over 150 countries. He's spent 15 years in the industry, seven of them building and scaling design teams across startups, scale-ups, and global companies.His take started with a LinkedIn post responding to a Nielsen Norman Group article on psychological ownership, research originally from Lynn Van Dyne and John Pierce. Burnout builds from a cycle. You get excited about a UX project. You pour research and effort into it. Then stakeholders get involved, and it gets scoped down or reshaped until it barely resembles what you built. Repeat that for months, years, and it wears you down more than the hours ever could.Marc talks through how he tries to protect his own team from that cycle, including a framework for pitching big ideas without getting shut down, and a line from his LinkedIn post that stuck with Sarah: the UX designers who last the longest hold the shipped thing loosely and their own judgment tightly.Then the conversation shifts into hiring. What Marc actually wants to see when a UX project never launched. Why team metrics tell him more than individual ones ever could. What happens when a candidate claims credit for a huge revenue number all on their own. Deel gets an enormous volume of applications, and Marc is candid about how little time he actually gets to review each one.Topics Discussed✅ Why UX design burnout might have less to do with hours worked and more to do with losing authority over something you feel deep ownership over✅ The repeating cycle that quietly wears UX designers down over months and years, and why fast-paced companies make it worse✅ A framework for pitching big, ambitious ideas at work without getting shut down before you even present them✅ Why you should include projects that never launched in your UX portfolio, and what to talk about instead of the outcome✅ Why leading with a huge dollar figure or revenue percentage in an UX interview can backfire, and what to say instead✅ Why team metrics tell a UX hiring manager more about a candidate than an individual one ever could✅ What actually happens to your application in the days after you hit submit at a company receiving millions of applications a year✅ Two team rituals that help a UX design team avoid burnout and stay aligned every monthLinks & Resources

You tell yourself that never letting anyone down is how you protect the people you love. But our ingrained programming tells us we have to please everyone all the time to feel good enough - and the people you love are the people who suffer most when you're stuck in the Responsibility Trap. They get the tired, thin version of you. If you lie awake worried you've upset someone, or feel guilty for saying no to something small like a dinner you can't make until November, this 20-minute Quick Dip will show you why that guilt isn't telling the truth, and what changes when you let the load go back to whose it actually was.We cover:The November dinner — and why answering honestly can feel like a failingWhy for us a request arrives as an obligation with our name on itWhat over 600 professionals told us about lying awake worried they've upset someoneThe identity underneath it: I'm not the sort of person who lets people downWhat that identity costs at home and at workThe village cricket team — guilt for saying no to a sport I don't even likeThe question that proves you already let people down every day — and the world kept turningIf I'm not the woman who never lets anyone down, then who am I? And who says?What happens at home and at work when you stop carrying it all — including the reception team who stopped asking her firstTwo futures — and phrases to reach for when the guilt firesThis episode is for you if... you are a high achiever in a leadership role who has to have the conversation nobody else will, has to make the call someone disagrees with, and lies awake replaying a decision you had to make. You are the one who copes, steps up, notices what needs doing — and you feel guilty even doing the work that matters most.

You've been training for weeks. You're running further. You're lifting weights. You're fueling properly. You're recovering better.So why aren't you getting faster every week? And if your pace hasn't changed… is your training actually working?In Episode 10 of the SLAY Stronger Runner Series, Olympian, coach and SLAY founder Louise Hazel explains why pace is only one measure of running progress, and why you could be becoming a significantly better runner without seeing a dramatic change on your watch.In this episode, you'll learn:• Why running progress is never perfectly linear• Why the same pace can represent completely different levels of fitness• The SLAY Performance Triangle: Pace, Effort & Recovery• How to use heart rate without becoming obsessed with it• What Rate of Perceived Exertion (RPE) can tell you• Why your easy runs can reveal improvements in aerobic fitness• How running economy improves• Why being able to run further is progress• Why recovering faster is a performance improvement• Why accumulated fatigue can temporarily hide your fitness• Why constantly testing yourself can actually interfere with training• The six metrics in the SLAY Progress ScorecardThis week's challenge:Repeat. Don't race. Repeat an easy run you've completed previously at a similar perceived effort and compare how it feels. Not just how fast you ran. Because your watch can measure your pace.

The Lutheran Ladies' Lounge is celebrating its seventh anniversary and 365th episode — on the same day.   Riffing off an idea first presented by author Heidi Goehmann, Sarah, Erin, and Rachel each present a range of seven-layer items — one food dish each, plus other assorted Lutheran Lady-related artifacts.   From Erin's loaf-pan lasagna to Sarah's seven-levels of godparenting to Rachel's seven-layer nightstand bookstack and more, the Ladies show that, seven years in, they've only begun to scratch the surface of what's possible.   Erin's Seven Layer Loaf Pan Lasagna  2 generous servings  1 - 1.25 cups canned crushed tomatoes  1 medium zucchini, sliced lengthwise into 1/8-inch ribbons  Baby spinach- "some"  .5 cup whole milk ricotta cheese  .5 cup cottage cheese (or just use 1 cup of either ricotta or cottage cheese)  .25 c parmesan cheese, plus more for finishing  1 egg  2 T basil pesto  Fresh basil leaves- "a small handful"  .25 t garlic powder  Half a small lemon, zested   4 dried lasagna noodles, or enough to fill your loaf pan  1.25 cups shredded cheesy cheese  salt & pepper   Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease your loaf pan.   In a small bowl, whisk together the whole egg, ricotta, cottage cheese, parmesan, pesto, garlic powder, lemon zest, and a good grind of  black pepper.   Assembly Instructions:  Spread everything evenly, and always make sure the noodle is FULLY covered.  Base layer: ~1/4 cup of tomato sauce (bottom of the pan)  Layer 1: Lasagna noodle  Layer 2: a quarter of the ricotta-pesto filling  Layer 3: Zucchini slices. Light sprinkle of salt & pepper.  Layer 4: Baby spinach leaves, just to cover.  Layer 5: A light layer of shredded cheese.  Layer 6:  ~1/4 c of tomato sauce.  Repeat layers 1-6 twice more. That will bring you to three lasagna noodle layers.  Before placing the fourth and final noodle, spread out the basil leaves (the seventh layer!!). Then cover with the last noodle and spread the remaining ricotta-pesto filling over the top. Make sure no bare noodle remains. Top with a generous portion of shredded cheese and sprinkle on some parmesan as well.  Cover the pan with foil. Give it enough space so that the foil doesn't touch the cheese.  Bake for 45 minutes. Then remove the foil and bake for 12-15 minutes more, until browned and bubbling.   Let the lasagna rest undisturbed on the counter for 15-20 minutes before slicing.  Notes:   If the cheese isn't browning at the end, amp up the heat to 425°F for a few more minutes.  Make sure the assembled, unbaked lasagna doesn't exceed the height of the loaf pan. You don't want it to bubble over, and you don't want the cheese to stick to the foil.  Resting is important so the lasagna can "set". This allows you to serve a slice that holds together. It also allows it to be less molten and will be less likely to burn the roof of your mouth.  If I wanted to scale this recipe, I would probably double it for an 8x8 or 9x9 casserole dish. And either triple or quadruple it for a 9x13. I would start by laying out dry noodles in the pan and seeing how many fit in a single layer. I would also increase the baking time to 60 minutes covered and then continue uncovered until browned and bubbling. Emalie and Rachel's Seven-Layer Earth Cake  Layer 1: Oreo/butter crumb crust — the bedrock  Layer 2: Gummy worms — the wildlife  Layer 3: Chocolate ganache — the subsoil  Layer 4: Chocolate cake — the topsoil  Layer 5: Green frosting — the grass  Layer 6: White frosting — the clouds  Layer 7: Rainbow candy ribbons — the rainbows  Sarah's Yemeni Coffee Seven-Layer Cookie Bar   6oz super fine almond flour * 20g super fine ground coffee 1/3 tsp salt 1/3 tsp cardamom 1/3 tsp ginger 3Tbs Maple syrup 1Tbs Olive oil  The easy method: Mix all ingredients EXCEPT coffee until very thick (playdough consistency). If too wet, add more flour. If too thick, add more maple syrup.  Split dough in half.   Mix 20g super fine coffee ground into one half. Add more maple syrup if it becomes too dry. Split the coffee layer into 3 balls and the spicy layer into 4 balls. Roll each ball into similar sized shapes.   Alternate in SEVEN layers spice/coffee/spice/coffee/spice/coffee/spice. Cut into small rectangles. Bake on convention (quick bake) at 400/375 for 12 minutes, rotating for another 5 minutes.  Bars are done when almond flour begins to brown.  * Different almond flours absorb different amounts of liquid. May need to edit amounts to get the right consistency.

GAMEPLAN SESSION 2: MAKE THE PLAN | What Matters Most Now?You don't have to do everything before the year ends—but you do need to decide what matters most.In Session 2 of The Gameplan: Finishing the Year Strong, Pastor Beau moves from identifying what's in your hand to intentionally deciding what you're going to do with it.MAKE THE PLAN is about turning intention into strategy. Before you can execute, you have to get clear about where you're going, what deserves your attention, and what may need to wait.Using Nehemiah's work to rebuild the walls of Jerusalem as a biblical framework, Pastor Beau explores what it means to assess what's in front of you, recognize what needs to be rebuilt, gather the resources and people necessary for the work, and develop a plan before you move.In this practical session, you'll work through four categories for evaluating everything competing for your time and attention:DO NOW — What requires your attention in this season?DEVELOP — What needs more time, preparation, or growth?DEFER — What matters, but doesn't have to happen right now?DELETE — What no longer deserves your energy?From there, you'll identify no more than three priorities for the remainder of the year and begin building a practical plan around each one—identifying your goal, why it matters, your next step, the resources and people you need, your deadline, and how you'll respond when obstacles arise.You still have time to make meaningful progress this year. The goal isn't to do everything. The goal is to get clear about what matters most—and make a plan to move it forward.Follow along with the session and complete your own Gameplan workbook at:visit.reconciliation-church.com/gameplanOr text GAMEPLAN to 916-313-8757 to access the series and resources.THE GAMEPLANPray.

The Biggest Opportunities Often Appear Before The Rest Of The Market Realizes A Technology Is About To Take Off In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, and members of the Startup Club community explore how entrepreneurs can recognize emerging technology waves and position themselves to take advantage of them. From the early internet and broadband to the sharing economy, AI, agents, and new virtual experiences, Colin shares lessons from more than 30 years of building companies around major technology shifts. The conversation examines the technology adoption curve, the difficult gap between early adoption and mainstream acceptance, and why some promising technologies never make it across that chasm. More importantly, they break down practical signals founders can watch for when evaluating the next big opportunity, including changes in consumer behavior, growing conversations around new technologies, second-order business opportunities, and the aftershocks created by truly transformative innovations. How the technology adoption curve can help founders identify emerging opportunities Why entrepreneurs should surround themselves with new technology before it becomes mainstream How increased conversation and market noise can signal an approaching technology wave Why every promising technology must solve a real problem or create a meaningful opportunity How changes in your own behavior can reveal technologies with mainstream potential Why some of the best businesses are built around second-order effects of major innovations How aftershocks from technologies like the internet and AI can create opportunities years after the original breakthrough Why founders need to separate genuine technological shifts from hype that may never cross into mainstream adoption

AI Is Giving Entrepreneurs The Ability To Build Faster, Operate Leaner, And Accomplish More With Smaller Teams In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, and members of the Startup Club community share practical ways entrepreneurs are using AI to improve nearly every part of their businesses. From building AI agents and automating financial reports to auditing websites, managing email, creating content, improving advertising, and developing software, the conversation focuses on real-world applications founders can start experimenting with today. More importantly, they explore how entrepreneurs can use AI without removing humans from the process, where guardrails still matter, and why learning to work with these tools may become one of the most important skills for the next generation of business owners. How AI agents can automate repetitive business operations Why human oversight remains critical when using autonomous systems Ways founders are using AI for marketing, reporting, content, and research How AI can dramatically reduce the cost and time required to build software Why consultants may need to rethink their business models around automation How AI can help entrepreneurs research buyers, validate ideas, and prepare investor materials Why experimenting with AI may be the fastest way to discover new business opportunities

AI Is Changing How We Work, Communicate, And Build Businesses, But The Human Advantage Still Matters In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, special guest George Dubek, and members of the Startup Club community explore how entrepreneurs can adapt to a business world being rapidly reshaped by artificial intelligence. From AI-generated marketing and changing communication habits to networking, information overload, customer service, and the pressure to constantly keep up with new technology, the conversation examines what founders should embrace and what should remain fundamentally human. More importantly, they discuss why relationships, authenticity, critical thinking, and personal judgment become even more valuable as AI becomes more powerful. The challenge is not simply learning how to use new technology, but learning how to stay in control of it while continuing to develop the skills that technology cannot replace. How entrepreneurs can adapt their mindset as AI changes the business environment Why networking still depends on real relationships, follow-up, and trust How founders can manage information overload and the pressure to constantly respond Why AI should remain a tool under human direction rather than replacing human judgment How AI can dramatically reduce the cost of creating marketing content Why authentic human content can outperform polished AI-generated material How founders can balance technological efficiency with real human interaction Why continuous training and skill development matter more than simply consuming information

AI Is Making Software Easier To Build, But That Does Not Mean Software Businesses Are Becoming Less Valuable In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, special guest David Awad, and members of the Startup Club community explore how artificial intelligence is changing the economics of building, acquiring, and selling software companies. From dramatically reducing development costs to creating autonomous AI workflows, David explains why AI may lead to a massive increase in the amount of software being created rather than replacing software entirely. The conversation also explores how founders can use AI agents, automated workflows, specialized models, and internal knowledge libraries to build products and operate businesses more efficiently. More importantly, they examine the acquisition side of the market, including recurring revenue, private equity expectations, interest rates, software valuations, deal structures, and why improving margins with AI could make a software company more attractive to buyers. Why AI could create an explosion of new software businesses How lower development costs are opening opportunities that were previously too expensive to pursue Why founders should move from manually prompting AI toward automated workflows that run continuously How AI agents and internal knowledge libraries can improve research, development, and decision-making Why founders should use the right AI model for the right task instead of overspending on compute How recurring revenue and revenue quality influence software company valuations Why higher interest rates can make acquisitions more difficult and affect the price buyers are willing to pay How founders can use AI to improve margins and strengthen a business before pursuing an exit

The Next Stage Of AI Is Not Just Answering Questions. It Is Doing The Work For You. In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, and members of the Startup Club community explore practical AI agents entrepreneurs can use to automate repetitive work, reduce costs, generate leads, improve marketing, and scale their businesses more efficiently. From customer service and bookkeeping to email management, digital marketing, job searches, lead generation, contract tracking, and Amazon operations, the group shares real examples of agents already performing work that once required hours of manual effort or additional employees. More importantly, they discuss how founders should decide what to automate, why repetitive and error-prone tasks are often the best place to start, and why humans still need to review critical outputs. The opportunity is not simply to install more AI tools, but to develop an agentic mindset that constantly looks for processes that can be made faster, smarter, and more scalable. How AI agents can handle repetitive customer service questions while escalating exceptions to humans Ways founders can use agents to analyze marketing performance and uncover better business metrics How AI can automate email management, follow-ups, reminders, and weekly to-do lists How agents can continuously identify and qualify new sales leads Ways AI can streamline bookkeeping and repetitive financial workflows How founders can monitor contracts, deadlines, and legal documents automatically Why repetitive, time-consuming, and error-prone processes are strong candidates for automation How one AI agent can monitor and critique the outputs of other agents Why human oversight and subject-matter expertise remain essential when deploying autonomous workflows How developing an agentic mindset can help small teams operate with capabilities once reserved for much larger companies

The Founder Who Built The Business Can Also Become The Biggest Thing Holding It Back In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell sits down with entrepreneur, executive coach, author, and U.S. Army National Guard officer Parker McCumber to explore what military leadership can teach entrepreneurs about building teams, delegating responsibility, and scaling under pressure. From disciplined initiative and mission briefs to risk management, after-action reviews, and performance counseling, Parker explains how leaders can create systems that give employees the freedom to make decisions without losing alignment with the company's goals. The conversation also explores why founders often struggle to give up control and how gradually building trust can help them move from doing everything themselves to leading an organization that can operate without them. More importantly, they discuss why leadership remains fundamentally human even as AI transforms business. AI can accelerate analysis, automate work, and help entrepreneurs make faster decisions, but founders still need to build trust, develop people, exercise judgment, and create a culture where others take genuine ownership. Why founders often become the bottleneck as their companies begin to scale How to delegate responsibilities and intent instead of simply assigning tasks What disciplined initiative can teach entrepreneurs about decentralized leadership How mission briefs and clear objectives give teams room to make independent decisions Why after-action reviews can turn mistakes into organizational learning How performance counseling differs from traditional performance reviews Why founders need to become comfortable allowing their teams to fail in controlled ways How personal branding and long-form content can establish authority and generate leads Why AI should support leadership decisions rather than replace human judgment How founders can invest more heavily in high-performing team members while continuing to develop the rest of the organization

The Biggest Opportunities Often Appear Before A New Technology Reaches The Mainstream In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, and members of the Startup Club community explore how entrepreneurs can recognize emerging technology waves and position themselves before the rest of the market catches up. From dial-up internet and broadband to cloud computing, new domain extensions, social media, AI, and AI agents, Colin shares lessons from businesses built around major technological and regulatory shifts. The conversation examines why startups can often move faster than established companies and how founders can use that advantage to experiment, adapt, and enter emerging markets early. More importantly, they break down practical ways to spot the next wave, including surrounding yourself with new technology, watching where conversations are accelerating, noticing when technology changes your own behavior, and looking for second-order opportunities created by a larger transformation. How technology and regulatory changes can create entirely new markets Why large companies often move more slowly than startups during major shifts How the technology adoption curve and the "chasm" can help founders evaluate emerging opportunities Why founders should actively experiment with new technology instead of simply reading about it How increased conversation and market noise can signal an emerging trend Why changes in your own behavior can reveal technologies with broader potential How second-order opportunities can become larger than the original innovation Why AI agents represent another major opportunity emerging from the broader AI wave How professionals and service providers can adapt their expertise instead of competing directly against AI Why execution becomes even more important as technology makes launching a business easier

When You Build Around Something You Actually Care About, AI Can Help You Turn That Passion Into A Real Business Faster Than Ever In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, and members of the Startup Club community explore how entrepreneurs can turn hobbies, interests, expertise, and personal passions into businesses in the AI era. From pet products and residential cruising to domain names, content creation, professional services, software, and customer support, the conversation looks at how AI is removing many of the traditional barriers that once made starting a business expensive or technically difficult. Instead of replacing the entrepreneur, AI can act as a thought partner that helps research, write, design, analyze, automate, and accelerate execution. More importantly, the group discusses why the real advantage still comes from the human behind the technology. When everyone has access to similar AI tools, differentiation comes from understanding real problems, bringing authentic expertise, creating something customers value, and staying involved enough to recognize when the technology gets it wrong. Why building around something you genuinely enjoy can help you stay committed through difficult periods How AI is lowering the cost and complexity of turning an idea into a business Why access to AI alone is no longer a competitive advantage How subject-matter expertise becomes more valuable when paired with AI Why founders should treat AI as a thought partner rather than an automatic decision-maker How AI can remove language, writing, technical, and operational barriers Why authentic human insight still matters in content, products, and customer relationships How entrepreneurs can use AI to amplify real experiences instead of replacing them Why human oversight remains essential when using AI for important business work How AI can help creators move from passive interests to products, services, and companies

AI Is Giving Entrepreneurs More Leverage, But Only If They Know How To Use It Well In this episode of Start, Scale, Exit, Repeat, Colin C. Campbell, Michele Van Tilborg, and members of the Startup Club community share real-world AI growth hacks they are using to save time, reduce costs, improve decision-making, and accomplish work that once required much larger teams. From creating private placement memorandums and analyzing marketing performance to managing inboxes, inventorying real estate, automating bookkeeping, building AI agents, and turning internal knowledge into searchable resources, the conversation is packed with practical ways founders can put AI to work today. More importantly, the group explores the risks that come with moving too quickly, including hallucinations, bad data, weak guardrails, and becoming busy with AI without actually moving the business forward. The message is clear: AI can dramatically increase what entrepreneurs are capable of, but humans still need to remain in control. How founders are using AI to reduce professional service costs Ways AI can improve marketing analysis, financial reporting, and business operations How entrepreneurs can use AI as a thinking partner when entering unfamiliar territory Why AI agents are becoming an important tool for automating repetitive work How NotebookLM and private data can create more useful, focused AI systems Why garbage in, garbage out still applies when building AI workflows How hallucinations and weak oversight can create costly mistakes Why founders should treat themselves as the boss of AI, not the other way around

On this episode of New York's Finest: Retired & Unfiltered, we tackle two major issues facing New Yorkers: public safety in the heart of Manhattan and the use of public-employee pension money to finance housing. FIRST HALF — CRISTINA FONTANELLI We're joined by Cristina Fontanelli, candidate for New York State Assembly District 75 — a Manhattan district encompassing Times Square, Hell's Kitchen, Chelsea, Hudson Yards and much of Midtown. Fontanelli is a lifelong New Yorker, award-winning opera singer, actress, television host and nonprofit founder who is making the jump from the stage to politics. We'll discuss the recent violence in Times Square and what she believes Albany can actually do about public safety. Among the issues: • Supporting law enforcement • Repeat and dangerous offenders • Bail and criminal-justice policy • Serious untreated mental illness • Subway and street safety • Quality-of-life concerns • What Albany can — and cannot — do to make NYC safer And we'll ask the fundamental question behind her campaign: Why leave a successful career in entertainment and run for office now? Campaign information: https://www.cristinafontanelli4ny.com/ SECOND HALF — YOUR PENSION, NYC'S HOUSING PLAN NYC Comptroller Mark Levine and trustees representing four NYC pension systems have committed $300 MILLION in new pension capital to the AFL-CIO Housing Investment Trust to finance housing construction and preservation. Among the participating funds: • New York City Police Pension Fund • New York City Fire Pension Fund • NYCERS • Teachers' Retirement System The commitment is part of a broader initiative to invest $4 BILLION in pension capital in housing over four years. The city argues these investments can produce competitive, risk-adjusted returns for pensioners while simultaneously helping address New York's housing shortage. But we're going to ask the questions every cop, firefighter and city worker should be asking: Whose money is it? Who makes these investment decisions? What role does the Mamdani administration play? What fiduciary obligations do pension trustees have to members? What has the historical performance of these investments been? And where is the line between making an investment for pensioners and using pension capital to advance government policy? We're following the money.

How often do you notice your breath only after stress has already taken hold?

When stress takes over, your body needs regulation—not more pressure. Learn simple ways to reset your nervous system through breath, pressure, and movement with Dr. Roseann Capanna-Hodge, an expert in Regulation First Parenting™ and emotional dysregulation in children. When stress takes over, it can feel like your body is running the show. You may know you need to calm down, but you don't know where to start.In this episode, I explain how to reset your body with simple micro-moments of regulation using breath, pressure, and movement.How can I calm my nervous system when I feel overwhelmed?The goal isn't perfect calm. It's creating a small shift in your nervous system so you have more capacity to respond instead of react. Dr. Roseann encourages you to notice your jaw, shoulders, breathing, stomach, and overall activation before choosing a strategy.Rate your activation from 0–10.Notice where your body holds stress.Look for a shift, not perfection.Repeat regulation throughout the day.Real-life example: A parent notices their shoulders are tight at bedtime after a stressful day. Instead of pushing through, they took 30 seconds to breathe, release their shoulders, and check in with their body.What are simple ways to reset your body when stress takes over?Focus on three practical pathways: breath, pressure, and movement. You don't need an hour-long meditation or a complicated routine. Small moments practiced consistently can help build nervous system capacity.Try gentle belly breathing with a longer exhalation.Use a heart hug by placing one hand over your heart and the other on your shoulder.Roll your shoulders, shake out your hands, sway, march, or try a figure eight.Choose the strategy that actually feels helpful to your body.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Bill Quateman, founder and international director of Advanced BioCell. Known for his transition from an acclaimed recording artist to a pioneer in orthomolecular medicine and regenerative health therapies, Bill talks about his unique professional path and what he's learned along the way. Listeners will learn how he parlayed lessons from the music industry and personal passion into heading up building a clinic specializing in personalized nutrition, ozone therapy, stem cells, and peptides.  The conversation gets deep into the science behind these treatments, the evolving business landscape of health optimization, and practical advice for entrepreneurs seeking to scale "with heart" in the HALO sector. Whether you're interested in disruptive healthcare models or simply want to understand what's next in patient-centric wellness, this episode is packed with experience-driven perspectives and actionable strategies. On bridging health paradigms Bill says, "What we're doing with Advanced BioCell is bridging the gap between the conventional Western consciousness and model, to the integrative regenerative model so that people feel comfortable with what new elements can be based certainly on what they're used to." Key themes discussed Transition from music to integrative health entrepreneurship Personalized nutrition and orthomolecular medicine's business evolution Ozone therapy: Science, benefits, and market positioning Business model: Concierge services and upcoming membership Bridging conventional medicine with regenerative approaches Consumer skepticism, misinformation, and market-driven education Entrepreneurial perspective on scaling, customer service, and impact A Few Key Takeaways 1. Entrepreneurial Resilience and Adaptability Fuel Growth: Transitioning from a recording artist career to founding Advanced BioCell demonstrates the power of following personal passion and leveraging setbacks as catalysts for growth. Quateman emphasized how obstacles and changes (such as industry challenges and publishing rejections) ultimately led him to new opportunities in health and wellness 01:03. 2. Integrative Approach to Health Care Is Gaining Traction: Advanced BioCell bridges conventional Western medicine with regenerative and integrative therapies, including ozone therapy, stem cells, and peptides. This model meets growing consumer demand for alternatives when traditional medicine falls short, with patients traveling long distances for more personalized, results-driven care 06:41. 3. Hair Tissue Mineral Analysis Sets the Foundation for Personalized Nutrition: Bill talked about the deep diagnostic value of hair tissue mineral analysis, asserting it's unmatched for assessing biochemistry and nutritional needs. While blood work is available, the focus for nutrition is on hair analysis, aiming to offer a more precise and sustained understanding of individual health 08:37. 4. Ozone Therapy's Role in Detoxification and Optimizing Cellular Health: High-dose ozone therapy is presented as a "panacea" capable of improving heart health, energy, and overall bodily function. Explained through the lens of oxygenation, ozone's ability to detoxify and support red blood cell function creates enhanced results for therapies ranging from supplements to chemotherapy 11:28. 5. Customer Experience and Care Drive Sustainable Business Growth: Rather than pursuing unchecked expansion, Quateman advocates for gold-standard customer service as the core growth engine. Repeat business, word-of-mouth referrals, and genuine care are prioritized over scale for its own sake, reinforcing that meaningful impact and loyalty can define success. He often says, "People don't care how much you know, until they know how much you care" 23:38.

Welcome to Episode 325 of Autism Parenting Secrets.This week, I'm joined by Nadia Elkhatib, host of the Biohacking Autism podcast.Nadia holds a master's degree in computer science and spent her career in Silicon Valley tech, bringing that same engineer's mindset to more than twenty years of helping her son Jimmy.Measure. Test. Adjust. Repeat.Nadia believes parents need to become the CEO of their child's health. That doesn't mean doing everything yourself. It means owning the strategy, understanding the data, recognizing patterns, asking better questions, and building the right team around you.Rather than continually chasing symptoms, Nadia has increasingly looked to longevity and biohacking for a more foundational answer:How can we help the body do its job better?That has led her to focus deeply on metabolic health and nervous system regulation.We also explore why caregiver health can't be overlooked. The better you function, the better equipped you are to make decisions, lead the journey, and show up for your child.And Nadia gets a firsthand look at another form of biohacking as we review her All-In Parent Assessment and identify opportunities to make an already strong parent even stronger. The secret this week is… You CAN Biohack Autism You'll Discover:Why biohacking puts parents back in the driver's seat (5:33)Why the buck ultimately stops with the parent (8:10)Why it's time to stop chasing symptoms (12:03)Why starting with what you can control matters (28:49)Why you can't bypass caregiver health (57:56) About Our Guest:Nadia Elkhatib is the host of Biohacking Autism, a podcast about real solutions for people with autism and the ones who love them. She holds a master's degree in computer science and spent her career in Silicon Valley tech, bringing that same engineer's mindset to raising her son with severe autism: measure, test, adjust, repeat. She is now building a private Biohacking Autism community where members get her ongoing research and current protocols, along with access to leading autism, longevity, and biohacking experts.

Are you actually experiencing joy, or are you mostly experiencing relief when problems finally go away?In Psalm 68, John Ortberg explores the biblical idea of exultation: deep, expressive joy that can exist even when life isn't going perfectly.Drawing from C.S. Lewis and Dallas Willard, John looks at why we can spend our lives clearing one hurdle after another and mistaking the resulting relief for genuine joy.Lewis called the Psalmists' delight an “appetite for God.”So how's your appetite?Maybe we've filled ourselves with so much achievement, entertainment, information, and distraction that there's little room left for something better.Today, try getting hungry again.In this episode: Psalm 68 • joy • relief • C.S. Lewis • Dallas Willard • fasting • appetite for God#Psalm68 #JohnOrtberg #Joy #CSLewis #DallasWillard #SpiritualFormation

When families have support, children and youth do better at home, in school and in their communities. Yet many conversations about “student success” focus narrowly on classrooms and test scores, overlooking the pregnancy, early childhood, housing, mental health, special‑needs and basic‑needs supports that shape whether children can show up ready to learn in the first place. This program will explore how family resource centers and other family support services operate in San Francisco, drawing on the experiences of community leaders and parents who know these systems firsthand. Through stories from their work and lives, the panel will highlight how family support helps families navigate complex systems, build stability, and prevent crises before they escalate. The conversation will also consider what we can all do to support cradle‑to‑career supports for families, so that all San Francisco children and youth can thrive.About the Speakers Our moderator will be Kula Koenig, the chief policy officer at Safe & Sound, where she leads policy, advocacy and strategic partnerships to strengthen child abuse prevention through upstream investment, cross-sector collaboration, and systems change that centers families most impacted by inequities. She directly oversees Safe & Sound's role as the backbone organization of the Family Services Alliance, working to make San Francisco a place where all children, youth, and families can thrive. Kula grounds her leadership in the belief that prevention and civic engagement must be inclusive, accessible and healing. She brings more than 15 years of leadership experience at the intersection of public health, early childhood, and racial equity, including senior roles at Public Health Advocates, United Way, and the American Heart Association. She is also the founder and executive director of Social Justice PolitiCorps. Kula holds a B.A. from UCLA and an MBA from The George Washington University. Gloria Tan has been the executive director of the San Francisco nonprofit Gum Moon since 1986. Gum Moon operates a residence hall in Chinatown for survivors of domestic violence and human trafficking. In addition, Gum Moon has 3 family resource centers in the Chinatown, Richmond and Sunset neighborhoods. The FRC's are all funded through the San Francisco Department of Early Childhood's Family Resource Center Initiative. Originally from Singapore, Gloria came to the United States for college and earned a Business Administration degree from the University of San Francisco. In 2020, the Chinese Culture Center of San Francisco honored her with its Lifetime Achievement Award in Community Building for her decades-long community leadership. In May 2026, the San Francisco Human Rights Commission recognized her contributions on behalf of women, children, immigrant families and underserved communities across the city. She is also an active member of the Family Services Alliance. Vicente Milan is a proud San Franciscan, born and raised. A former U.S. Army Specialist who deployed to Iraq, Vicente later worked in landscaping before stepping into his most important role: primary caregiver to three young boys in a blended family. Vicente and his family have turned to Compass Family Services' Family Resource Center for parenting support, help with one of his children's special needs, and housing stability services.  He now serves as a parent leader in Compass's “Repeat and Repair” group and brings to this panel the perspective of a father who has seen how family resource centers can strengthen families and improve children's outcomes. He loves taking his kids to museums and connecting with other parents.  A Social Impact Member-led Forum program. Forums at the Club are organized and run by volunteer programmers who are members of The Commonwealth Club, and they cover a diverse range of topics.

Have you ever wondered if there was a way you could connect more fully with your own inner thoughts and programming in order to enhance your life? We all can by becoming more aware of the power of our subconscious mind! The subconscious mind is the silent architect of our reality; it interprets symbols, stores every experience, and shapes our decisions long before our conscious mind catches up. When we have a clearer understanding of how it works, it gives us the ability to reprogram our inner world so we can make the life shifts we are ready to manifest. Exercises to retrain the subconscious: Mirror Exercise – speak to yourself in the second person. Your subconscious receives this as an instruction, a task to complete, rather than a wish. “You are successful” or “You are healthy, wealthy and happy.” Gratitude Letter – Write a letter to yourself as though your goal has already happened. Use the present tense. Symbolic Visualization Ritual Choose one goal. Identify three symbols that represent that goal. Spend 2 minutes visualizing each symbol in vivid detail. Repeat daily for 21 days. The more you get to know your inner world, the more you are able to shine your own light more brightly!

It's Realtor Safety Month, and this year we're taking a different angle: property safety. We've covered personal safety plenty of times before (episodes 317, 216, 161, 112, and 6 & 7 with Carl Carter), but this time Alissa is sharing a story straight from the trenches: the time one of her vacant listings got robbed, mid-listing, appliances and all. Repeat clients moved out of state and handed off a vacant house with an alarm code buried in a five-month-old text message. The camera system looked impressive, eight angles of surveillance, but it hadn't actually recorded anything in two and a half years. Somewhere between painters, cleaners, and showings, the alarm never got set again, and it was never on Alissa's radar to ask. Then came the Saturday phone call every agent dreads: a showing agent reporting a kicked-in back door, a stolen oven, a missing washer and dryer, and a fridge the thieves gave up on halfway out the front door. Police, fingerprints, dead-end cameras, and a seller relationship that went from grateful to accusatory in the span of a few days. This one is a real, honest look at what happens when property safety falls through the cracks, what Alissa changed in her process because of it, and why y'all need a plan for your vacant listings before something goes wrong, not after. Here's what we cover in this episode: Why Realtor Safety Month usually focuses on personal safety, and why property safety deserves its own spotlight What actually got stolen (and what the thieves gave up on) How Alissa handled calling police, meeting them at the property, and coordinating repairs for out-of-state sellers How her broker helped negotiate a fair resolution tied to closing Why you are not your seller's property manager, and how to set that expectation early The new questions Alissa now asks every seller about alarms, cameras, and monitoring Why virtually staging vacant listings can be a safety move, not just a marketing one A past story about a garage door left open, and why "who showed it last" matters more than you think Key Quotes & Takeaways: "You're not a property manager. When they hired you to sell the home, they didn't hire you to be the lawn company or the security company." Katy "I trust no one and nothing." Katy "It's just proof that even when you have good systems, things can go wrong. It's really about handling it professionally and learning from it." Alissa "I virtually stage all my vacant properties for safety. I don't want them to appear vacant." Alissa "It's Realtor Safety Month. Be careful. Take your safety and the property safety seriously."

You can repeat: "I trust myself." "I follow through." "I'm good with money." …and still feel your entire body going, "Yeah, absolutely not." That reaction matters. Because repeating the "right" words is not automatically the same thing as changing what you believe. In this episode, Allie breaks down why the same affirmation can land completely differently for two people, what resistance is actually telling you, and how to stop trying to make giant, unbelievable jumps from the belief you have now to the one you wish you had. You'll hear: • Why positive affirmations can sometimes make you feel worse instead of better • Why what you already believe affects how an affirmation lands • The difference between forcing a new belief and building a believable bridge toward it • Why "make it positive" is less useful than "make it accurate" • How resistance, discomfort, and the immediate "yeah right" response give you valuable information • Why Allie loves pairing affirmations with EFT tapping • How your language and your behavior can work together to create evidence for a new identity • Allie's process for using affirmations more intentionally: Choose it. Check it. Bridge it. Feel it. Prove it. Repeat it. Affirmations aren't magic words. But they aren't useless either. They're a tool. And instead of trying to bully your brain into believing something that feels miles away, you can intentionally practice language that supports where you're going while paying attention to everything that comes up along the way. So don't throw out your affirmations. Get better at listening to what happens when you say them. Ready to stop starting over? Join Allie's free live class: Stop Starting Over

Cindy is an expert in the Americans with Disabilities Act, and she works with agencies, employers, and people with disabilities. Cindy shares her journey from diet brain to calm weight maintenance, highlighting how intermittent fasting transformed her life without the need for costly programs or restrictive rules. Cindy found success by tuning into her body's signals instead of following the latest diet fads. She explains how she has maintained her ideal weight for nearly four years—despite life's chaos, travel, and temptation—by embracing flexibility and listening to her body's needs. Gin and Cindy discuss common misconceptions about fasting, they explore how real food and food quality matter more than calorie counting, and they also uncover the importance of ditching diet brain for good. Cindy shares how her approach supports mental wellbeing, body acceptance, and long-term health—without obsessing over every calorie or food noise. At the end of the episode, she tells new IFers not to compare themselves to others, but instead know that this is your journey.
