David McKnight explores the five biggest retirement mistakes people make. When it comes to retirement "traps", the obvious things such as picking the wrong stock, missing the next bull market or retiring at the wrong time are what typically comes to mind… The first mistake people tend to make when it comes to their retirement is believing that tax diversification is good enough. "Having the bulk of your wealth in tax-deferred accounts is like going into a business partnership with the IRS: every year, they get to vote on what percentage of your profits they get to keep. Not a very good business partnership, if you ask me," says David. The next mistake is one of the most subtle and expensive mistakes retirees make: ignoring the standard deduction when doing Roth conversions. The third big retirement mistake people make is trying to time the market instead of timing the tax code. Remember: "Markets move up and down, but when a country is in a debt crisis, tax rates only move in one direction: Up!"  Are you using bonds as safe money in retirement? That's what the fourth retirement planning mistake David has encountered often in his busy work schedule.  David suggests to time the tax code, instead of timing the market… Replacing your bonds with annuities that have a guaranteed lifetime income feature is something you should consider. The fifth and final mistake to stay away from is not taking enough risk in retirement. David explains that your annuities can provide income in the year after a down year in your stock portfolio. That gives your stocks a chance to recover before you take further distributions. Don't forget, the stock portion of the portfolio has one job and one job only: Make sure your money lasts a full 30-year retirement.     Mentioned in this episode: David's new book, available now for pre-order: The Secret Order of Millionaires David's national bestselling book: The Guru Gap: How America's Financial Gurus Are Leading You Astray, and How to Get Back on Track Tax-Free Income for Life: A Step-by-Step Plan for a Secure Retirement by David McKnight DavidMcKnight.com DavidMcKnightBooks.com PowerOfZero.com (free video series) @mcknightandco on Twitter  @davidcmcknight on Instagram David McKnight on YouTube Get David's Tax-free Tool Kit at taxfreetoolkit.com Tom Hegna

Plastic cutting boards shed microplastics during routine food prep, contributing to increased plastic ingestion that accumulates in organs like the brain and reproductive tissues over time Research shows knife pressure releases hundreds of plastic fragments per cut, many embedding into food tissue and remaining even after rinsing or cooking Older, heavily grooved boards release more microplastics, as repeated knife strokes and surface wear accelerate abrasion and contamination during everyday meal prep Replacing plastic boards with wood, bamboo, or glass reduces microplastic exposure, while proper cleaning and timely replacement help limit bacterial and chemical risks Beyond cutting boards, reducing exposure to microplastics requires filtering water, avoiding plastic packaging, choosing natural fabrics, and addressing hormone disruption caused by estrogen-mimicking plastic chemicals

In this episode of Building the Billion Dollar Business, Ray Sclafani breaks down why advisor movement data should be treated as an early warning system and not industry gossip. While the number of advisors changing firms has remained steady, a more concerning trend is emerging: more advisors are leaving the profession entirely than entering it.Ray explains that this shift isn't driven by compensation alone. Instead, advisors are making intentional decisions based on leadership clarity, career path visibility, enterprise value, and control over their future. He outlines four critical decision points for firm leaders in 2026: rethinking retention beyond pay, recruiting for long-term fit, aligning custodian and broker-dealer relationships with strategic purpose, and putting leadership development front and center.The episode challenges RIA and wealth management leaders to confront strategic ambiguity, leadership bottlenecks, and platform misalignment before retention issues show up in the P&L. The message is clear: firms that provide a credible future will keep top talent and those that don't won't.Key TakeawaysAdvisor movement data is an early warning system that reveals where confidence in leadership and long-term value is eroding.More financial advisors are leaving the profession entirely than entering it, signaling a deeper industry challenge beyond firm-to-firm movement.The cost of replacing experienced advisors far exceeds the cost of retaining and developing existing talent.Firms overly dependent on a single founder or leader create bottlenecks that limit growth and retention.Clear leadership pathways and role clarity are essential to sustaining advisor confidence and long-term firm value.Questions Financial Advisors Often AskQ: What does advisor movement data reveal about the wealth management industry? A: Advisor movement data shows where advisors believe long-term value exists and serves as an early warning system for leadership, retention, and strategic alignment issues.Q: Why are financial advisors leaving firms if compensation remains competitive? A: Advisors leave when they lack leadership clarity, role clarity, and a credible long-term career path, not simply because of pay.Q: Are more advisors leaving the profession entirely? A: Yes. In 2025, more advisors exited the profession than entered it, indicating a growing talent decline in the industry.Q: What is the real cost of losing experienced financial advisors? A: Replacing senior advisors typically costs one-and-a-half to two times their total compensation when factoring in lost productivity, recruiting time, and client disruption.Q: What role does leadership play in advisor retention? A: Advisors closely evaluate leadership development, decision-making structure, and whether firms rely too heavily on a single founder or leader.Q: Why do advisors say they are “voting with their feet”? A: Advisors move firms to gain more control over their future, their clients, and their long-term career trajectory, not because they want more change.Find Ray and the ClientWise Team on the ClientWise website or LinkedIn | Twitter | Instagram | Facebook | YouTubeTo join one of the largest digital communities of financial advisors, visit exchange.clientwise.com.

This week on Second Act Stories, we're featuring a series called "Rewriting the Playbook." This group of episodes features guests whose journeys share a common connection to sports, sometimes front and center, sometimes quietly shaping the path forward. In these conversations, the influence of competition, teamwork, and discipline shows up in different ways, informing career pivots and personal reinvention. Together, these stories explore how the lessons learned on the field can echo long after the final whistle, guiding second acts that are anything but predictable. Arrelious Benn was a star football player at Dunbar Senior High School (Washington, DC) and the University of Illinois. He entered the NFL draft after his junior year in college and was selected by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. His NFL career with Tampa Bay, the Philadelphia Eagles and the Jacksonville Jaguars spanned seven years, twice the league average. But it is also included two ACL tears, a fractured lumbar and a shattered collarbone. After his final season with the Jaguars, he and his family put down roots and decided to open Social House Coffee in the Avondale section of Jacksonville. Replacing a former gun store, his neighborhood shop is all about great coffee and building community. As Benn shares in the podcast, "Football consumed my life for so many years. But I know I only have one body. And I want to see my kids grow up and there are other things I want to do. It's a breath of fresh air to do something new and be creative." Benn is now working in what he calls "my first real job." He spends his days taking customers' orders, serving coffee/pastries and managing a staff of six. And he couldn't be happier. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here. We may read your review on a future episode! Subscribe to the Second Act stories Substack.

In this episode of the Expert Speaker Podcast, I sit down with Josh Terry — a creator, coach, and thinker known for saying sharp things in very few words. We unpack why so many smart, capable people stay stuck, and how real momentum often comes from doing less, not more. Josh shares the counterintuitive idea that trying to fix your weaknesses might actually be holding you back — in business, creativity, and leadership. We talk about mastery, creative freedom, productivity, and why operating well within your strengths creates far better results than constantly pushing at the edge of your abilities . Key Takeaways Give up on what you're bad at Growth accelerates when you stop forcing yourself to improve weaknesses that drain you and instead build around what already works. Mastery comes from ease, not struggle People don't want what you can barely deliver. Mastery is built by repeatedly doing what's well within your competence — and letting that competence expand naturally. Your strengths are often invisible to you Many of our strongest capabilities formed early in life, which makes them feel "normal" and easy to overlook — even though they're where our greatest leverage lives. Stop copying the "right way" to create Josh explains how abandoning standard advice (eye contact, memorization, perfect delivery) led to his biggest breakthroughs and viral growth. Productivity isn't about pressure Some people thrive under pressure. Others shut down. Understanding whether you respond better to pressure or space can radically change how you work. Eliminate infinite time sinks Endless distractions (scrolling, gaming, mindless consumption) kill momentum. Replacing them with finite breaks helps you return to focused work faster. Notable Quotes "Nobody wants what you can just barely deliver." "Mastery comes from repeatedly doing something that is well within your competence." "We're not supposed to make our weaknesses our day job." "If you stop trying to look like who you're not, you can finally create something real." Action Steps Make a list of what drains you vs. what feels easy and effective — and ruthlessly reduce the former Identify one strength you've dismissed as "too obvious" and lean into it this week Replace infinite distractions with finite breaks (walks, stretching, sitting quietly) Ask yourself: What could I create if I stopped trying to fix myself first? Listen If You Are A founder, creator, or leader feeling stuck despite working hard Someone overwhelmed by "do more, be better" advice A creative who wants to find their real voice Looking for a smarter, calmer way to grow without burning out

In this episode of Disruption/Interruption, KJ sits down with Joey Coleman, two-time Wall Street Journal bestselling author and expert in experience design and retention strategy. Joey reveals the shocking truth about employee turnover—costing businesses a trillion dollars annually—and shares his proven framework for transforming the first 100 days of any relationship. From his background as a criminal defense attorney and White House advisor to consulting with NASA, Volkswagen, and Zappos, Joey brings unique insights into why companies lose employees and customers, and more importantly, how to keep them. Four Key Takeaways The First Day Crisis (10:25) 4% of all new hires quit after their first day of work globally, and by day 45, that number jumps to 22%. By the one-year mark, 40% of employees have left—costing U.S. businesses approximately $1 trillion annually. The True Cost of Turnover (13:00) Replacing an employee costs between 100-300% of their annual salary just to get someone new into the seat—not including their actual salary and benefits. For a $50,000 employee, you're looking at $50,000-$150,000 in replacement costs alone. HR's Shift from Culture to Compliance (27:00) Over the past 50 years, HR departments have shifted focus from creating great workplace cultures to managing compliance, documentation, and litigation prevention—leaving no one responsible for making the workplace the best it can be. The Remarkable Organization Test (35:31) "The way you know you're running a remarkable organization is if you announce you're hiring and your existing employees immediately recommend amazing people they want to work with. In most organizations, internal referral candidates measure close to zero." Quote of the Show (28:12):"There is no one who wakes up in the morning, looks in the mirror and says, 'My primary job when I get to work today is to make sure that this is the best place that any of these people have ever worked.'" – Joey Coleman Join our Anti-PR newsletter where we’re keeping a watchful and clever eye on PR trends, PR fails, and interesting news in tech so you don't have to.

I'm diving into why waiting until menopause to address hormones can be an incredibly costly mistake for so many women. Why are we told to "wait it out" when symptoms often start years earlier? And what's really happening inside our bodies long before our periods stop? I walk through the often-missed perimenopausal years and explain why this phase matters more than most of us realize. What if heavy periods, anxiety, weight gain, or insomnia aren't things you just have to tolerate? Could early hormone shifts be driving them? We also explore timing, myths, and fears around hormone replacement. How do you know when it's actually time to start paying attention? And what are the long-term consequences of ignoring these early warning signs for bones, brain, and heart health? In this episode, we uncover: Why waiting for menopause can ultimately worsen your long-term health outcomes. How perimenopause quietly begins years before your final period. What early hormone symptoms are often misdiagnosed or dismissed. How timing influences the benefits and safety of hormone support. Why listening to what your body is telling you matters more than arbitrary age rules.

It's making buying decisions.AI agents are changing the way people shop, today we explain why e-commerce brands are quietly losing visibility even when ads and conversion rates look fine. Shopping decisions are moving upstream into AI tools like ChatGPT, Gemini, and Perplexity, before a customer ever visits your website.If traffic feels lighter but nothing looks broken, this episode explains why and what disciplined operators must fix now to stay selectable as AI becomes the gatekeeper.

Since 2020 there has been a sizeable reconfiguration of political lines, with new poles shaping up to replace left and right. Specifically, differing strains of a kind of conservative nationalism replacing the traditional right and liberalised globalism replacing the traditional left.We discuss those emerging configurations, the new American empire's tendency towards realism, Heidegger, and technology as the central question of modernity, as well as how concepts like ‘human rights' and ‘moral relativism' are out of date, with potentially even ‘democracy' soon for the chopping block.Plus, Gen Z's realist approach to transgendersism, the recognition of Somaliland, human rights law's failure around sanctions, Ed Miliband as future PM, monarchy, anti-sexist workshops for boys in school, and having to wait years for institutions to catch-up with discourse already evident via technology.

The hosts discuss whether serial physical examinations can safely replace routine antibiotic prophylaxis in at-risk term and late-preterm infants. With antibiotic exposure often far exceeding sepsis incidence, this study offers compelling data for a "less is more" strategy.

In today's world of the mega pass like Epic and Ikon, small independent ski resorts are struggling to survive. But one of the oldest ski resorts in America – in one of the snowiest places on Earth – is thriving. Founded in 1939 by Hannes Schroll and funded by Walt Disney, Sugar Bowl Resort on Donner Summit has welcomed both families and hardcore skiers for generations, offering a friendly, laid back vibe and expert terrain. In Episode 78, we spin yarns with Sugar Bowl CEO, Bridget Legnavsky – a CEO who absolutely shreds on skis – discussing a recent $100 million investment, helping “The Bowl” stay competitive against Epic and Ikon resorts while honoring its blend of European and American traditions. We also chat about why Bridget thinks Sugar Bowl is one of the most unique resorts in the world, the differences between her home country of New Zealand and America, the future sustainability of skiing, why Lake Tahoe isn't more of an international ski destination, and if Summit Chair will spin more than 3 days this year. 2:30 – Recording from Sugar Bowl Resort.4:30 – Last episode, zero snow.

Show NotesBased on the article: Leaders Don't Fix People. Leaders Fix the EnvironmentIn this episode of the Emergency Management Network Podcast, we explore a simple idea that carries profound implications for leadership in emergency management and beyond: Leaders don't fix people. Leaders fix the environment.Inspired by the work and insights of L. David Marquet, this conversation challenges the instinct many leaders have to correct, manage, or “repair” individuals. Instead, we focus on how great leaders shape the conditions in which people can succeed. Culture, trust, clarity of mission, psychological safety, and decision authority matter far more than control or micromanagement.In emergency management, the environment we create determines how teams perform under stress. It influences whether people speak up, take initiative, admit uncertainty, and adapt when plans collide with reality. When leaders build environments that encourage ownership and responsibility, they unlock capacity that no amount of supervision can create.We discuss how fixing the environment means:* Designing systems that support good decision-making* Replacing permission with intent* Shifting from control to trust* Creating space for learning, accountability, and growth* Recognizing that leadership is less about authority and more about stewardshipThis episode connects leadership philosophy to real-world emergency management practice, from EOC operations to planning teams to organizational culture. If you want stronger performance, better morale, and more resilient teams, start by asking not “What's wrong with my people?” but “What kind of environment have I created?”Because when the environment is right, people don't need fixing. They thrive.TagsLeadership, Emergency Management Leadership, Organizational Culture, L David Marquet, Turn the Ship Around, Trust and Empowerment, EOC Leadership, High Reliability Organizations, Psychological Safety, Crisis Leadership, Team Performance, Professional Development, EMN Podcast This is a public episode.

What if the reason you're holding back isn't fear of failure—but guilt about leaving others behind? In this episode, I dig into one of the most surprising mindset blocks I've faced as a business owner: the belief that if I succeed too much, I'll lose the people I care about. This idea comes from The Big Leap by Gay Hendricks, a book I've read five times—and each time, it reveals something new. This time, it showed me how old loyalty patterns and hidden guilt were still shaping how I lead, grow, and show up. If you've ever felt conflicted about leveling up, this episode will help you see what's really going on—and what to do about it. What We Cover: Why Growth Feels Risky – The fear that success will cost you connection with friends, family, or your roots. The Loyalty Trap – How childhood beliefs about “not outshining” others can follow you into business. Replacing the Narrative – Why I used to believe I couldn't grow my business and have a strong relationship. Seeing the Pattern – How this hidden belief was still shaping my decisions in 2025. What I Believe Now – A better story that allows growth, love, and leadership to coexist. Success doesn't have to mean separation. You can grow—and still stay grounded. But only if you choose the right story.

OIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP:   / 1bmudi9htk  In 2025, two forces are colliding fast: AI and blue-collar trades.In this episode, Chris Lee sits down with the team from Callsource to unpack what's actually happening when home service companies replace CSRs with AI voice/text bots — and why it can quietly destroy trust, create missed revenue, and damage your brand even when the phones are ringing.They break down real call data (including thousands of inbound calls handled by AI), the hidden “zero outcome” problem, incorrect dispositions inside the CRM, and why most owners don't realize the damage until conversion drops and the backlog tightens. Then they get practical: what a hybrid AI + human model looks like, how to build a manual process first (even if it starts in a spreadsheet), and how fast follow-up and human empathy can recover deals your competitors would've taken.If you run a plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or other home service business and you're considering AI for inbound calls, this is the episode you need before you flip that switch.CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA!TEXT ME: 509-905-4109INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chrisleeqb/...FACEBOOK:   / chrisleeqb  TIKTOK:   / uc6m5_nuhcx-jdtyb4ge8giq   Partner Spotlight: 1SEO Digital Agency: At Next Level Pros, we teach you the best ways HOW to market your business.

I did this one from the 66th floor Alle Lounge at Resorts World Las Vegas, with Shannon McCallum, VP of Hotel Operations, about how the property continues evolving four-plus years after opening. Resorts World operates more than 3,500 rooms across three brands --  Hilton, Conrad, and Crockfords -- all under one roof. That scale forces real decisions about technology, guest choice, and efficiency — especially when different guests expect very different experiences. Shannon walks through how the team thinks about:

Drawing from Marshall McLuhan's idea that “the medium is the message” and Neil Postman's view that technological change is ecological, he explains that smartphones have transformed every aspect of life—family, worship, and even prayer. Reflecting on his late son Anthony's words, Trimble shares a powerful lesson: after all the time spent on our devices, “nobody even wants my phone.” Mortality, he notes, brings clarity about what truly matters—God, relationships, and purpose.Purchase The Christian Leader Blueprint book today: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprintbookDownload The Christian Leader Blueprint – Short Guide (Free): https://www.ryanfranklin.org/blueprint Take the Christian Leader® Self-Assessment (Free):https://www.ryanfranklin.org/clselfassessment Learn more about Christian Leader® Community Coaching:https://www.ryanfranklin.org/communitycoaching YouTube and Audio Podcast: https://www.ryanfranklin.org/leaderpodcast Connect with Ryan: Email: info@ryanfranklin.org Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/rnfranklin/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/rnfranklin/ Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/rnfranklin/ Audio mastering by Apostolic Audio: https://www.apostolic-audio.com#leadership, #thoughtleadership, #ministry, #pastor, #pastors, #churches, #leadershiptraining, #churchleader, #churchleaders, #influence, #leadershipdevelopment, #coaching, #executivecoach, #leadershipcoaching, #productivitycoach, #productivity, #growthmindset, #theproductiveleader, #ChristianLeader, #ChristianLeadership, #LeadershipPodcast, #FaithAndBusiness, #PodcastInterview, #ChristianEntrepreneurship, #KingdomImpact, #PodcastInspiration, #LeadershipJourney, #PurposeDriven, #ChristianPodcast, #LeadershipEssentials, #LeadershipFundamentalsSend us a text

In this episode of Anchored by the Sword, I'm joined by author, podcaster, and content creator Erica Gwynn to talk about the lies we believe—often without even realizing it—and how those lies quietly shape the way we see ourselves, God, and our purpose.Erica's book, That's Just Not True: How to Replace the Lies You Didn't Know You Believed with God's Unchanging Truth, released in October, tackles 17 common lies that sound good on paper but don't actually line up with Scripture. Together, we unpack how striving, perfectionism, people-pleasing, comparison, and cultural phrases like “I can do anything” or “manifest your dream life” can slowly pull us out of true partnership with God.We talk honestly about: • Freedom as an ongoing process, not a finish line • Why limits are not failures, but part of God's design • How rejection by people can actually be redirection and protection from God • The danger of manifesting apart from surrender • What it looks like to dream with God instead of apart from HimErica also shares the Scripture that keeps her anchored in seasons of uncertainty and encourages listeners to give themselves grace—especially at the start of a new year.This conversation is for anyone who feels tired of striving, overwhelmed by comparison, or stuck believing things about themselves that God never said.Bio:Erica Ligenza Gwynn is an author, podcaster, coach, speaker, and content creator. She's the founder of Coming Up Roses, an online community rooted in the belief that while not everything in life is pretty, and every rose has its thorn, we can still honor our seasons and live in full bloom.

In this episode of Tech Talks Daily, I'm joined by Kiren Sekar, Chief Product Officer at Samsara, to unpack how AI is finally showing up where it matters most, in the frontline operations that keep the global economy moving. From logistics and construction to manufacturing and field services, these industries represent a huge share of global GDP, yet for years they have been left behind by modern software. Kiren explains why that gap existed, and why the timing is finally right to close it. We talk about Samsara's full-stack approach that blends hardware, software, and AI to turn trillions of real-world data points into decisions people can actually act on. Kiren shares how customers are using this intelligence to prevent accidents, cut fuel waste, digitize paper-based workflows, and scale expert judgment across thousands of vehicles and job sites. The conversation goes deep into real examples, including how large enterprises like Home Depot have dramatically reduced accident rates and improved asset utilization by making safety and efficiency part of everyday operations rather than afterthoughts. A big part of our discussion focuses on trust. When AI enters physical operations, concerns around monitoring and surveillance surface quickly. Kiren walks through how adoption succeeds only when technology is introduced with care, transparency, and a clear focus on protecting workers. From proving driver innocence during incidents to rewarding positive behavior and using AI as a virtual safety coach, we explore why change management matters just as much as the technology itself. We also look at the limits of automation and why human judgment still plays a central role. Kiren explains how Samsara's AI acts as a force multiplier for experienced frontline experts, capturing their hard-won knowledge and scaling it across an entire workforce rather than trying to replace it. As AI moves from pilots into daily decision-making at scale, this episode offers a grounded view of what responsible, high-impact deployment actually looks like. As AI continues to reshape frontline work, making jobs safer, easier, and more engaging, how should product leaders balance innovation with responsibility when their systems start influencing real-world safety and productivity every single day?

AJ and Johnny sit down with Carla Ondrasik, author of Stop Trying, to unpack why the word try is secretly holding you back from real change. Carla shares how “trying” tricks your brain into feeling productive while keeping you stuck — and why doing, not trying, is the antidote to procrastination, perfectionism, and fear.
