Drake Maye's shoulder injury/How many reps did Maye take yesterday?

Brock Grieve ran a 50-man team across four markets that did $23 million in revenue this year. He also personally sold $830K and earned his fifth Golden Door. Most leaders pick one or the other. He did both.In this episode, Hunter sits down with Brock to break down how he structured his days to lead and sell at the same time—morning trainings at 10 and 11am, one-on-ones during off-door hours, and full lock-in from 1pm until dark. Brock shares the early-summer anxiety that almost derailed his run, the morning routine that pulled him out (breathwork, identity questions, deleting social media, phone in black and white mode), and why proximity to people doing what you want to do is the only real cheat code.His team averaged $200K per rep, $51K rookie earnings, and less than 15% attrition. One of his leaders, Kyle Ring, went from 300 accounts to Golden Door with over 90% retention.Thank you for listening! Don't miss out on future episodes!

AJC Washington bureau chief Tia Mitchell examines how a deadly federal immigration enforcement shooting in Minneapolis is reverberating through Georgia politics, as Democratic senators Jon Ossoff and Raphael Warnock threaten to block a government funding bill unless new limits on ICE are included. She explains why a partial government shutdown appears increasingly likely and how Republican challengers are seizing on the issue in a heated election year. The episode then features a recorded roundtable hosted by AJC reporters Maya T. Prabhu and Michelle Baruchman with state Reps. Yasmin Neal and Clint Crowe, both former police detectives. The lawmakers offer sharply different views on the Minnesota shooting, the role of ICE in Georgia, and how immigration enforcement affects public trust, while also identifying areas where bipartisan cooperation on public safety could still emerge under the Gold Dome.

Sales reps often manage deals through CRM stages while missing the buyer's internal reality: approvals, meetings, budget cycles, and shifting priorities. In this episode, Brandon breaks down the two timelines running inside every deal and explains why “random” stalls usually happen when internal motion doesn't match external progress.You'll learn the questions that surface internal decision triggers, how to anchor next steps to real calendar events, and how to stop relying on hope as your timeline. If your deals keep slipping despite strong calls, this episode gives you the framework to regain control.

In this raw and honest episode of Beyond the Sets and Reps, Brandi Clark pulls back the curtain on a season in her business where she came dangerously close to quitting. After making major changes to her sales system—including shifting to weekly live webinars, adjusting pricing, and running paid ads—things initially worked… until they didn't. Brandi shares how rising ad costs, declining lead quality, low webinar show-up rates, and backend overwhelm led to frustration, self-doubt, and the feeling that maybe she wasn't cut out for the next level of growth. Through tears, hard conversations, and a deep dive into what was really happening behind the scenes, she uncovered a powerful truth: Growth hurts—and that pain doesn't mean you're failing. It means you're evolving. Using the metaphor of literal “growing pains,” Brandi explains why every stage of business—from the beginning to scaling past six figures—comes with discomfort, doubt, and the temptation to quit. She also shares the critical lessons she learned about consistency, lead quality vs. quantity, and why most people quit right before the breakthrough. This episode is for fitness professionals, coaches, and online business owners who feel stuck, tired, or discouraged—even when they're doing “all the right things.” In This Episode, You'll Learn: Why wanting to quit is often a sign you're growing—not failing The difference between low-cost leads and high-quality leads (and why it matters) How changing sales systems can expose hidden bottlenecks in your business Why consistency beats intensity every time How to choose a cadence you can actually commit to The power of small, daily money-making actions and the compound effect What to do when progress feels slow and frustration sets in If you've ever questioned your path, your pace, or your ability to keep going—this episode will remind you why you started and help you stay in the game when it matters most.

Fast reps vs slow reps: which one builds strength without raising injury risk? In this final installment of the Principles of Exercise Design Series, Amy Hudson and Dr. James Fisher break down one of the most misunderstood topics in training: speed of movement. They unpack what really matters when it comes to fast reps vs slow reps, why intent is more important than rushing the weight, and how smart tempo choices can improve strength without increasing injury risk. Tune in to hear how rethinking speed of movement can completely change the way you train. Amy and Dr. Fisher explain the mechanics of speed of movement in each phase of a lift. The concentric phase is when the muscle shortens and moves the weight away from the body. The eccentric phase is the controlled return, when the muscle lengthens as the weight comes back. Dr. Fisher explains why speed of movement is often misunderstood. Most people can't accurately tell how fast they're moving during normal exercises. That's why they rely more on tempo and control. Dr. Fisher reveals how isokinetic Exobotics devices measure exact distance and exact velocity throughout the lift.  Amy and Dr. Fisher explain why moving fast is not required to produce power. The body responds to effort and tension, not reckless speed. This is a key shift many people miss when training without a personal trainer. Dr. Fisher covers what the research really says about rep speed and muscle growth. Studies show no difference in hypertrophy whether reps are performed quickly or slowly. That finding challenges a lot of outdated gym myths. Dr. Fisher reveals why slower lifting can be the smarter option for most people. You still get the same strength, muscle, and health benefits. The difference is reduced stress on joints and connective tissue. Learn how resistance training supports overall health beyond just muscle size. Benefits like myokine release, metabolism, and energy expenditure occur regardless of rep speed. This reinforces why control matters more than rushing reps. Why resistance training should never increase injury risk. Amy emphasizes that exercise is meant to improve health, not compromise it. If training causes injury, it's moving in the wrong direction. Amy explains why exercise should always leave you more capable than before. Training should enhance function, not reduce it.  Dr. Fisher explains how speed of movement can vary depending on the exercise being performed. Different movements may call for different tempos to maintain tension.  Amy explains how personal trainers guide clients using clear tempo prescriptions. A coach can say four seconds up, six seconds down, and explain exactly why. That clarity improves safety, effectiveness, and motivation in strength training sessions.     Mentioned in This Episode: The Exercise Coach - Get 2 Free Sessions!

Reps assume senior titles equal decision authority, but real buying decisions are shaped by influence, risk, and ownership. In this episode, Brandon explains why deals stall when sellers chase hierarchy instead of commitment. He breaks down the three roles inside most deals (economic buyer, operator, and risk owner) and how to spot the true decision driver through behavior.You'll learn how to ask the right questions without sounding political, recognize “meeting multiplier” signals, and build internal alignment before deals slip into silent delay. If your opportunities keep stalling despite “great calls,” this episode will help you sell to the right person sooner.

It's Friday, January 23rd, A.D. 2026. This is The Worldview in 5 Minutes heard on 140 radio stations and at www.TheWorldview.com.  I'm Adam McManus. (Adam@TheWorldview.com) By Adam McManus Iran makes large sums of money off the backs of persecuted Christians Iran has an open secret. Persecuting Christians is a booming business in the Muslim-majority nation, and the country is earning large sums of money from arresting Christ followers, reports International Christian Concern. Fines and bail amounts imposed by Iranian courts have reached hundreds of thousands of dollars in recent years, financially crippling poor Christian families trying to keep their loved ones out of prison. For years, the Middle Eastern nation has targeted Christians for their faith in Christ through intimidation, physical abuse, and imprisonment. But what's often overlooked are the exorbitant bail amounts doled out to Christ followers simply to keep themselves out of jail. Joseph Shahbazian, leader of a Christian house church, was arrested in June 2020 for his Christian activities and given a bail amount of $163,000. After pleading with the court and handing over the deeds to his and his mother's apartments, the court accepted $109,000 on Shahbazian's behalf. Proverbs 22:22-23 says, "Do not rob the poor because he is poor, nor oppress the afflicted at the gate; For the LORD will plead their cause, and plunder the soul of those who plunder them." Shahbazian was released from prison in 2023 after serving a little more than a year in jail, but was rearrested in 2025 for his continued Christian activities and sentenced to an additional 10 years in jail. According to Open Doors, Iran is the sixth most difficult country worldwide for Christians. Trump ends all tax-funded research with aborted baby parts On January 22nd, the 53rd anniversary of the Roe v. Wade Supreme Court decision, President Donald Trump ended federal funding for research involving the use of aborted baby parts. It's a major victory for pro-life advocates that halts taxpayer support for such studies effective immediately, reports The Daily Wire. The National Institutes of Health announced the policy change on Thursday. The move prohibits the use of funds for research involving aborted baby parts obtained from elective abortions, while allowing ethical fetal tissue from sources such as miscarriages when donors consent. NIH Director Jay Bhattacharya said, “Someone who has had a miscarriage and wants to do a meaningful thing and they donate the tissue from the miscarriage to science, that's still allowed. The only ban is on, you have an abortion specifically to terminate the baby, and then the tissue then gets sold, that's what's being banned,” something he described as “morally abhorrent.” Rescue Resurrection protesters plead with Trump to ban abortion pill People from as far away as California and Georgia came to the nation's capital Thursday morning to plead with the Trump administration to ban the abortion kill pill, which is now easily available by mail and has led to a shocking increase of abortions following the Supreme Court's overturn of Roe v. Wade, reports LifeSiteNews.com. In the shadow of the U.S. Capitol dome, 20 people with Rescue Resurrection were arrested by United States Capitol Police outside the Health and Human Services headquarters as they sat down in the middle of the street. They were singing. RESCUE RESURRECTION: “Help us tell the nation we want a pro-life revolution. Help us tell the nation we want a pro-life revolution” POLICEMAN: “Everyone is now under arrest. You will be placed in handcuffs.” RESCUE RESURRECTION: “Ban the abortion pill!” POLICEMAN: “If you don't plan on being arrested, leave the street. If you don't plan on being arrested, you need to go onto the sidewalk.” Some of the members of Rescue Resurrection had been incarcerated under the F.A.C.E. Act by the Biden Justice Department and then pardoned by President Donald Trump. Elderly pro-life icon Joan Andrews Bell was kneeling before a group of police carried her off of the street and cuffed her. (Watch the video of the arrest through a special link in our transcript today at www.TheWorldview.com). Emily Berning, president of Let Them Live, said, “The chemical abortion pill has become the chemical coat hanger, and the bathroom has become the new back alley. The abortion pill is twenty-two times more dangerous than the FDA told the American people. When the truth is buried, women are the ones who bleed in silence. “And that is why we're standing here outside HHS. HHS is not a bystander in this. HHS has the authority to regulate and the power to act, [yet] they still have allowed a dangerous drug to remain on the market.” JD Vance & Second Lady announce they're expecting fourth child Second Lady Usha Vance announced she is pregnant and will deliver a boy  in late July, according to a Tuesday statement on social media. This will be the fourth child for Vice President J.D. Vance and Usha, and their third son. U.S. to gain “total access” to Greenland without payment On January 22nd, President Donald Trump said that the United States is negotiating an arrangement to secure full access to Greenland with no payment in return and unconstrained by any time limit, reports the Epoch Times. He appeared on Fox Business with Maria Bartiromo. Listen. BARTIROMO: “So, what are we talking about? An acquisition of Greenland? Are you going to pay for it?” TRUMP: “Essentially, it's total access. There's no end. There's no time limit. We're not doing, you know, the famous '99-year' deals that you hear about. Countries go on longer. I noticed the stock market went up pretty substantially after we announced it.” BARTIROMO: “The [Gross Domestic Product] of Greenland is like $3.3 billion, but people are valuing Greenland between $50 billion and almost a trillion [dollars]. So, what are you willing to pay for Greenland?” TRUMP: “Well, I'm not going to have to pay anything.” The president has described U.S control of the Arctic island as critical to both national and international security.  Indeed, Greenland will be an essential property to facilitate the much-anticipated Golden Dome, the U.S. missile defense system that will destroy enemy missiles before they launch or while they are in flight. It will be patterned after Israel's Iron Dome missile defense system. TRUMP: “We're going to have total access to Greenland. We're going to have all military access that we want. We're going to be able to put what we need on Greenland. We're talking about national security and international security. We are building the Golden Dome, and it'll be Israel times probably a hundred.” 7 Democrats voted with GOP to pass DHS/ICE spending bill Seven Democrats voted with Republicans on Thursday to pass a Department of Homeland Security spending bill, despite opposition from their own Democratic leadership, reports Fox News. The DHS bill will be bundled alongside three other spending bills, totaling a combined $1.2 trillion in federal spending. The entire package's passing is a significant step toward averting a government shutdown come January 30th. It passed in a 220-207 vote with the help of seven Democrats. Only one Republican, Rep. Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted in opposition.  According to TheHill.com, the seven Democrats who sided with Republicans were Reps. Henry Cuellar of Texas, Jared Golden of Maine, Marie Perez of Washington, Laura Gillen of New York, Don Davis of North Carolina, Tom Suozzi of New York and Vicente Gonzalez of Texas. Anniversary of hymnwriter deaths who wrote “Holy, holy, holy” and “Jesus Loves Me” And finally, we recognize the anniversary of the deaths of two Christian hymnwriters, both of whom died on January 22nd. John Dykes, who died on January 22, 1876, composed the music to the hymn "Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!"  sung here by Shane & Shane. SHANE AND SHANE: “Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All Thy works shall praise Thy name, in Earth, and sky, and sea; Holy, holy, holy! merciful and mighty! God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.” Isaiah 6:3 says, “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole Earth is full of His glory.” And on January 22, 1915, Anna Bartlett Warner, the author of "Jesus Loves Me", died.  Listen to the lesser known second verse with the chorus, sung by Nathan Drake of Reawaken Hymns. (Learn more about him here). DRAKE: “Jesus loves me He who died Heaven's gate to open wide. He will wash away my sin, Let His little child come in. (Refrain) “Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! Yes, Jesus loves me! The Bible tells me so.” 1 John 4:19 says, "We love because [Christ] first loved us."

“That chip on my shoulder made me less empathetic, more rushed, too eager to solve things too fast, and less thoughtful. That chip built me, but then it started to tear me down.” I said that recently in a conversation with Harriet Mellor of Your Sales Co, and it captures something every sales leader needs to understand.  I grew up in the sales training business. My dad literally wrote THE book on prospecting—several of them, actually. I worked at Paycom, Comcast, and various startups where I consistently crushed my numbers. But what I learned is that knowing the right techniques and getting your team to actually implement them are two completely different challenges. Sales training resistance is rarely about bad content. More often, it is about ego and pride standing in the way of growth. I had to recognize that in myself before I could address it in the people I lead. Why Your Top Performers Resist Training the Most When I was a rep, I was terrible at taking coaching. Not because I didn’t understand the concepts. I understood them better than most. But when someone tried to coach me, I tuned out. The problem was I’d already figured out a system that worked. I was hitting my numbers. Why would I mess with it? Think about learning golf. You chunk the ground twenty times, then suddenly you make contact. The ball doesn’t go straight or very far, but it goes. Someone tries to teach you proper form, your first thought is, “I already figured out how to hit the ball.” That’s where many top performers live. They’ve reached an equilibrium. Not peak performance, but functional competence. Training feels disruptive because it threatens what is currently working. They’re not resisting because they’re stubborn. They’re resisting because they have something to lose. What if they try something new and their numbers drop? They’d rather stay at 85% effectiveness than risk dropping to 60%, even if it means eventually reaching 120%. Two Ways Ego Hurts Performance Creates Rush Instead of Curiosity At Paycom, I carried a massive chip on my shoulder. I carried the same name as my dad. People knew who he was. I felt pressure to prove I belonged. So I rushed. I skipped discovery. I pushed toward proposals. I talked more than I listened. Every call felt like a test I needed to pass. You can hear this on your team's calls. Reps who are trying to prove something move too fast. They stop asking questions. They perform instead of selling. That behavior is driven by ego, and it costs deals. Telling them to slow down will not fix it. You need to understand what they feel compelled to prove and why they associate speed with competence. Blocks From Actually Learning When I was carrying a quota, I thought I was a lifelong learner. I read every sales book. I listened to podcasts. I sat through hours of training sessions. But when it came to changing what I did on Monday morning, I defaulted right back to what I knew. I’d hear a new objection handling technique and think, “Yeah, I basically already do that.” I didn’t. But ego wouldn’t let me see the gap. Your salespeople are doing the same thing right now. They’re taking in your coaching but filtering it through their existing beliefs. They’re protecting the system that’s currently working. And they’re developing blind spots they can’t see. Watch for the reps who stop recording their calls because they “know what they sound like.” The ones who skip role play because it’s “not realistic.” The ones who tune out your coaching because you “don’t understand their territory.” Reps who do this aren't trying to be difficult, but instead trying to protect their self-image instead of improving their performance. Why Your Team Listens to Outside Trainers But Not You One of the most frustrating parts of leadership is to preach a methodology for six months and nothing changes. Then an outside consultant shows up and says the exact same thing. Suddenly, everyone’s taking notes and engaged. I experienced this firsthand with my dad. He would offer advice, and I tuned out. Days later, I would hear the same message from someone else and think it was brilliant. It wasn’t about the message. It was about who was delivering it. When you try to coach your team, there’s history. There’s baggage. Maybe you’ve given conflicting directions before. Maybe they see you as “management” instead of someone who gets it. Maybe they just don’t like admitting to their boss that they need help. Outside trainers don’t carry that weight. They show up with a clean slate and credibility that’s granted just by being an outsider. The real question isn't how to make your team listen to you. It is how to create an environment where learning feels safe, regardless of who delivers it. How to Break Through Sales Training Resistance Frame Training as Addition, Not Correction I stopped resisting coaching when my leaders stopped making me feel like I was doing things wrong. Instead of pointing out flaws, the best managers invited experimentation. Instead of “you need to improve your discovery process,” the best managers said, “try asking this question in your next three calls and see what happens.”  Position new techniques as tools to add to what’s already working, not corrections to what’s broken. Your team will actually try them. Make It Safe to Fail On the marketing team, I got my team members on sales calls. Yeah, marketers are making prospecting calls alongside me. It felt like a crazy concept until it started working. Importantly, I let them hear my wins and my mistakes so they knew I was in it with them the entire way. I wanted them to see me stumble over a question. Get flustered. Say the wrong thing. Then watch me debrief it and do better on the next call. When I started doing this, something shifted. My team stopped being afraid to try new things. If I could screw up a cold call and laugh about it, they could too. The tide turned when they asked to jump in with me and started booking appointments. The win unlocked a new level of understanding. These marketers suddenly believed that they could, instead of simply being told that they could. Your salespeople need to see you fail. Not in a performative way. In a real, vulnerable, “I’m still learning too” way. That’s when they’ll give themselves permission to be imperfect. And that’s when actual learning happens. Change One Small Thing at a Time I didn’t transform my sales approach overnight. The managers who got through to me asked me to change one thing every few weeks. One question to add to discovery. One way to handle a specific objection. After six months, I’d transformed my entire process. But I never had to risk everything at once. Pick one behavior for your team. Make it specific. Make it small. Give them three weeks to practice it. Then add something else. Stop trying to overhaul their entire approach in one training session. Let Them Experience the Win You can tell your team a technique works until you’re blue in the face. They won’t really believe you until they feel it themselves. My marketing team didn’t enjoy making calls at first. They were uncomfortable. They were bad at it. But then they got their first yes. That moment when someone on the other end of the phone said, “Yeah, let’s set up a time to talk”—everything changed. That lift in your chest when you close a deal? That high you get from hearing yes? You can’t explain that. Your people have to experience it. Stop trying to convince your team that new approaches work. Create low-risk situations where they can discover it themselves. Role-play early, followed by real calls together. Small wins. Repeat. When Ego Stops Being Their Engine Every salesperson reaches a moment when the traits that fueled early success start creating friction. The confidence that helped them pick up the phone becomes arrogance that stops them from listening. The drive that made them a top performer becomes anxiety that makes them rush. For me, that moment came when I realized that chip on my shoulder wasn’t serving me anymore. It had driven early success. Then it started tearing me down. I was less empathetic, more rushed, less thoughtful. Most salespeople never recognize that moment. They keep pushing the same way they always have, wondering why it’s getting harder to hit their numbers. Your role as a leader is to help them spot it. Not by calling it out directly—that triggers defensiveness—but by creating an environment where they feel safe enough to recognize it themselves. The best salespeople develop the ability to notice when pride is shielding them from feedback. They know when to trust instinct and when to slow down and listen. What to Do This Week Look at who is hitting their numbers while quietly resisting coaching. Those are rarely problem reps. They are people protecting what feels safe. Start with one person and one behavior. Keep the change small enough that it does not threaten their confidence. Model your own learning openly. When people see that improvement does not require perfection, they are more willing to try. I spent years proving I was good enough instead of getting better. Many salespeople do the same thing. Ego does not disappear with success. It just gets quieter. The leaders who drive sustained performance create environments where learning feels normal, progress is visible, and growth does not require losing face. If you are leading a small sales team, coaching resistance gets magnified.

A federal judge in the Southern District of New York has rejected a bipartisan effort by Reps. Ro Khanna (D-CA) and Thomas Massie (R-KY) to appoint a special master or independent monitor to oversee the Department of Justice's compliance with the Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires the DOJ to release all investigative materials related to Jeffrey Epstein by a December 19, 2025 deadline. The lawmakers argued that the department's slow pace — with only a small fraction of millions of documents disclosed so far — and extensive redactions suggested noncompliance with the law and harmed survivors seeking transparency. They pressed Judge Paul Engelmayer to intervene in the matter of the files' release, citing serious concerns about the DOJ's handling of the disclosures.In his ruling, Judge Engelmayer acknowledged that the issues Khanna and Massie raised were “undeniably important and timely” and highlighted genuine concerns about whether the DOJ is faithfully complying with federal law. However, he concluded that he does not have the legal authority or jurisdiction in the ongoing criminal proceedings involving Ghislaine Maxwell to oversee or enforce compliance with the civil transparency statute, since the matter of releasing records under the Epstein Files Transparency Act is not part of that criminal case. The judge said the lawmakers lack standing to intervene in this context and suggested they pursue other avenues of oversight outside the Maxwell case, such as civil litigation or congressional tools, leaving the oversight fight over the release of the files to proceed through political and legislative, rather than judicial, channels.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Microsoft Word - MaxwellOrderJan21PAE

Starting over is awkward. Whether you're back at the gym, wrestling with grief, or stepping into a new routine, the beginning can feel clunky and emotional. In this solo episode, I'm sharing a very real week from my own life—post-snowstorm, post-holiday, mid-humbling workout. I talk about what it's like to be a beginner again, how hard it is to make decisions (even when you want to change), and why it's okay to start messy. You'll hear about building emotional and physical strength, the difference community can make, and how doing “reps”—in any part of life—is what truly creates change. If you're in a season of starting again, this episode will help you feel less alone and more capable than you thought. 3 Listener Takeaways: • The courage to begin again isn't flashy—it's honest, human, and repeatable. • You don't need motivation. You need momentum. One rep at a time. • Give yourself grace. Starting over is still forward.

Waiting to start your business until you "feel confident first" is a losing game. In this episode, Jill breaks down what imposter syndrome actually is and how to move through it without waiting to "feel ready." She explains why confidence and competence are area-specific, why comparing yourself to established online businesses is a trap, and how everyone starts with zero followers, zero clients, and zero reps. Imposter syndrome isn't a sign you're doing something wrong—it's a sign you're doing something new. The only real way to overcome it is through action, evidence, and reps. Rather than relying on affirmations, journaling, or consuming more content, try taking small, uncomfortable actions, trusting positive feedback, and build proof through experience.   Get on the waitlist for FBA: https://jillfitfree.com/fba-waitlist/   Jill is a fitness professional and business coach who effectively made the transition from training clients in person and having no time to build anything else to training clients online and actually being more successful.

Buyers often sound interested even when they aren't committed. In this episode, Brandon explains why the biggest deals are lost through misread signals, not direct rejection. He breaks down five critical behavioral buying signals: commitment to next steps, willingness to share context, collateral requests with ownership, engagement with real constraints, and sudden changes in responsiveness.You'll learn how to interpret what buyers are actually doing, how to shift conversations from curiosity to clarity, and how to respond in ways that keep deals moving without sounding needy. This episode reframes selling as reading behavior and designing decision paths... not chasing positive feedback.

I've had the opportunity to follow Seth Brock since his days at Eagle High School here in the Treasure Valley. Back then, I got to watch him compete as a tight end and defensive end, and he was also getting after it on the wrestling mat. He was a high-level athlete then, and now he's a national champion at Montana State. In this episode, Seth takes us inside what the transition to college football really looks like. Going from being "the guy" in high school to showing up at the next level where nobody cares who you were. You're back at ground zero. You're earning everything—your reps, your role, and your respect. We talk about what his redshirt year taught him, how to stay mentally locked in when you're practicing all week but not suiting up on Saturdays, and why timing is everything when you're trying to climb the depth chart. We also dive into the wrestling-to-football connection and why wrestling builds an edge for linemen—hand fighting, leverage, conditioning, adversity, and the mental toughness that carries over into life. Seth shares a powerful metaphor their D-line room lives by: "Water the bamboo." You don't always see growth right away… until it shoots up. Seth also breaks down Montana State's championship standard, the physicality of Big Sky football, and what it's like being part of a team that refuses to fold—even with their backs against the wall. Plus, he shares some unforgettable moments from this season, including Gold Rush, the Super Brawl, and his welcome-to-college-football moment at Oregon. If you're an athlete trying to make the jump to the next level—or a parent, coach, or sports fan who loves the stories behind the grind—this one is packed with lessons on preparation, patience, and maximizing opportunities when they come. To support Seth, check out his NIL links and gear, and follow him on Instagram.

On this episode of the Flatlander Kennels Podcast, Elliott and Chris catch up after a short break and end up digging into two things every waterfowler and dog owner is dealing with right nowFirst they talk late season duck hunting and how weird weather changes everything. Tons of birds, wide open water, no urgency, and ducks that are so patterned they will fly right over the top of you and never even look. Chris breaks down what conditions finally flip the switch and why wind alone is not enough when temperatures stay warmThen the conversation turns into a big hunting dog reality check. Chris explains why even the best trained dogs in the country can struggle during their first season in a real blind. Six dozen decoys, multiple guns, low light, spinners, cripples, other dogs, and hunters calling while a dog is trying to learn is chaos you cannot truly simulate in training or hunt tests. They talk through how to set young dogs up to succeed, how many birds it can take before things start to click, why patience matters, and why a dog first mindset produces better dogs than a bird first mindsetIf your hunting dog has you frustrated, this is the episode that will reset your expectations and give you a better plan for building a steady, confident retriever in real world hunting situations

Reps. Ro Khanna (D-Calif.) and Thomas Massie (R-Ky.), the bipartisan sponsors of the Epstein Files Transparency Act, have formally asked a federal judge to appoint a special master or independent monitor to oversee the Justice Department's release of files related to Jeffrey Epstein. Their request comes after the DOJ missed the law's December 19, 2025 deadline to make the documents public and has released only a small fraction of what it says is a multi-million document trove. In a letter to U.S. District Judge Paul Engelmayer, Khanna and Massie argue that the DOJ's slow pace, extensive redactions, and failure to submit legally required reports to Congress undermine compliance with the statute and could further traumatize survivors. They want a neutral third party empowered to assess whether the department is fully complying with the law and identify any improper redactions or other questionable conduct.The lawmakers have emphasized their lack of confidence in the DOJ's ability to self-police this process and contend that without court-appointed oversight, full disclosure is unlikely. In their filing, they highlight inconsistencies in the DOJ's reported figures on released versus remaining documents, and they stress that the department “cannot be trusted with making mandatory disclosures under the Act.” Massie has also threatened contempt proceedings against Attorney General Pam Bondi for ongoing noncompliance. By urging judicial intervention through a special master, Khanna and Massie aim to ensure the transparency envisioned by their law and compel the release of the full set of Epstein-related records despite departmental resistance.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:US congressmen ask judge to appoint official to force release of all Epstein files | Jeffrey Epstein | The Guardian

Today's episode is all about real estate, straight from the questions you asked during our recent live webinar. We dig into Real Estate Professional Status, short term rental rules, and how the tax benefits actually work across direct properties, syndications, and private funds. We also tackle REITs, including whether target date funds are enough, other Vanguard options beyond VNQ, and where REITs belong in your portfolio from a tax perspective. We also discuss if you really need real estate at all, and how do syndications, funds, and real estate debt compare in the real world. Questions from the Real Estate Webinar: -What does due diligence actually mean? -For the short term rental REP loophole can you still spend more than 100 hours doing a different job, any qualify? -Please go in more detail about short term and opportunity tax loopholes. Any specific resources? -Can the tax benefits of REPs apply to your whole portfolio? ie. direct real estate and private investments? -If you become a real estate professional, for rentals, do you still have to be picked up by a brokerage or can you be the brokerage? -Can you benefit from bonus depreciation to offset your w-2 income in syndications and private real estate funds and does this require REPS? -Are there other REITs with vanguard other than VNQ that may not only include large commercial properties? -If you are going to invest in REITs, where is the best place to purchase those funds? 401? Taxable account? Roth? HSA? -Am I leaving money on the table if I don't invest in real estate in some way? -What are pros & cons of investing in RE Syndication vs Fund vs RE Debt Locumstory.com is a free, unbiased educational resource about locum tenens – it's not a staffing agency.

Riley Rogers: Hi, and welcome to the Win/Win Podcast. I’m your host, Riley Rogers. Join us as we dive into changing trends in the workplace and how to navigate them successfully. According to the State of Sales Enablement 2025 Report, 20% of organizations see the sales process as a key strategic priority. So how can you optimize your sales process and drive higher win rates for your team? Here to discuss this topic is Aaliyah Patel, senior specialist, customer marketing at Ansell. Thank you so much for joining us. Aaliyah. I’d love if you could start by telling us a little bit about yourself, your background, and your role. Aaliyah Patel: Absolutely. Well, thank you for having me. My name is Aaliyah Patel. I’m a senior customer marketing specialist here at Ansell, where I’m a part of the customer marketing team. My role really centers on leading our sales enablement in digital MarTech operations, so ensuring that our systems, processes, and data flows that support our go-to market motion are aligned, connected, and easy for our teams to use. A large part of that includes overseeing the digital tools like Highspot in our tech stack, supporting content governance and building scalable frameworks that help reps access the right insights, messaging, and assets across the buyer journey. The goal is to ultimately empower sellers and partners with the clarity tools and visibility they need to drive growth and deliver consistent customer experiences. RR: Just from what you mentioned there, it sounds like we have quite a lot of ground cover in terms of your experience, your background, and then the work that you do with Highspot. Before we kind of jump too far into the deep end there, I always kinda like to start by getting a sense of the environment that you’re working in. So I know that Ansell manufactures and distributes a really wide range of products. What are some of the unique challenges that go-to-market teams face when selling in this environment? AP: Absolutely. So, Ansell serves an extremely diverse markets, so anything from industrial safety to scientific to healthcare. And each customer group has different expectations, buying cycles and safety requirements. Reps often need to shift between very different conversations throughout the day. And the challenge isn’t necessarily complexity, it’s clarity. Reps need to quickly position the right solution, especially when our portfolio is broad and customers span multiple industries with unique needs. There’s also the constant need to stay current on new product developments and differentiators across categories; our priority has been making sure that our teams have a unified way to access information, understand messaging, and communicate competently no matter what business they’re supporting. RR: I love the shift that you mentioned there: it’s not necessarily complex, instead the challenge is making things clear and easy to navigate because yes, there’s a lot going on. You can’t change that, but you can pull certain levers to make it a little bit easier for your teams. Knowing that’s kind of where you’re at, I’d like to turn towards some of the actions that you and the team are taking. So, what are some of the key go-to-market initiatives that you’re focused on? And then how are you enabling reps to find clarity in Ansell’s sales environment. AP: A major focus for us has been simplifying how our teams access and leverage content to drive more consistent, confident customer conversations. We’ve strengthened our content governance, we’ve centralized materials, and we’ve made it much easier to connect the right message to the right audience. We’re also aligning more closely with sales to ensure that our go-to market initiatives are really grounded in real customer challenges. Whether through targeted campaigns, sharper product positioning, or ongoing training and enablement, everything that we do is centered on helping our teams articulate our value across the diverse markets and products that we sell in. We’re seeing the impact of that work in real time: We’ve had over a hundred thousand content views with almost a 90% reoccurring usage rate, which tells us that the structure we’ve put into place is resonating and helping our teams move faster and stay aligned. RR: I love that you came in with the data to back it up—actually, not just the data to back it up but great data to back it up. That’s super impressive, especially knowing that you guys are a little bit early in your journey, that you’re already finding that significant success. One of the things that we’ve heard is that a key focus is the sales process. So in your experience, what are some of the essential building blocks for creating a sales process that’s driving these business results that you’re seeing? AP: For us, the foundation comes down to three things, so it’s simplicity, alignment, and insights. When you bring clarity, consistency, and real data together, you create a process that’s scalable, repeatable, and tied to business outcomes, and it allows teams to adapt their approach, depending on the customer segment that they’re working with that day. RR: I think you touched on some really compelling aspects there, and I think I’d be curious to double click into a little bit more of what you said and about how you’re bringing some of those building blocks to life, especially with a platform like Highspot. So, can you talk about the role that an enablement platform plays in helping you streamline that sales process? AP: So the value is truly structure and connection. An enablement platform brings content, people, and insights together, and it gives everyone one place to operate from. It reduces the time the seller spends searching for materials; it makes sure that our messaging is aligned across our campaigns and launches, and it also creates visibility into what resonates in the field. So, it’s truly become the backbone of how we support consistent execution across the buyer journey. RR: I always love to hear that consistency is kind of what’s coming out of your usage of an enablement platform. I think that’s really the goal, right, to help standardize your messaging and bring consistency to your teams. I would love to dig a little bit deeper into that and kind of the benefit that you see of partnering with Highspot. How does this partnership help you drive some of those core initiatives? You touched on this a little bit already. AP: Partnering with Highspot has been incredibly valuable because it gives us a partner who truly understands the complexity of a modern go-to market environment that helps us operationalize our strategy in a really scalable way. For us, the benefit is twofold. First, Highspot provides the structure we need to centralize our content, our launches, our campaigns, and our customer facing materials, so our field teams can execute with confidence. It creates alignment across marketing and sales, which is essential when you’re supporting multiple markets and product categories. Second, the partnership helps us accelerate our core initiatives. Whether we’re rolling out new product messaging or enabling our teams on evolving customer needs or programs, Highspot gives us the platform, analytics, and support to execute and quickly measure the impact. We’re not just using the platform, but we’re truly maximizing it, and the collaboration has helped us build stronger governance, improve adoption, and really tie our go-to market strategy back to real behavior and engagement. It allows us to deliver a more consistent story, support our reps with clarity, and really create a unified experience across every touchpoint. RR: That certainly makes me, and I think all of our teams happy to hear. One of the things that’s really interesting about what you said is that earlier you gave us the data to kind of back it up and say that yes, we’re seeing these things anecdotally, but we’re also seeing them empirically. Thinking of that data, I know that it kind of speaks for itself when it comes to the work that you and the team are doing, but we’ve heard that Digital Rooms have been a key driver in your enablement strategy and in your strategy with Highspot. In just 90 days you’ve generated like 3,000 views with your Rooms. How have you and your teams been leveraging Digital Rooms? Can you talk to us about what impact you’ve been seeing so far? AP: Digital Rooms have become a core part of how we help our teams go to market. We use them to create curated experiences that package our messaging assets and resources into a structured, easy-to-navigate format that aligns with the story we want to deliver so reps can use them to deliver a clear and consistent narrative and everything they need is in one place. This helps our teams guide customers and partners through a cohesive experience. That visibility supports stronger account planning, more intentional communication, and better alignment with customer needs. The engagement has been strong. We’ve created over 500 Digital Rooms with an average of 30 minutes of viewing time per Room. Some have accumulated between 20–60 total hours of engagement, and several have been shared externally more than 40 times, which shows us that our customers and partners are engaging with the content in meaningful ways. RR: I love to hear how you’re using that Digital Room scorecard to keep a pulse on how they’re performing out in the wild. When you are supplying go-to-market teams with these Digital Rooms, is it the marketing team that’s building them? And if so, what kind of use cases are you building for? AP: It’s in partnership with both marketing and sales, so we can help them create them if they’d like, but then they also have full autonomy to go and create them themselves for their specific customers. Use cases can include any specific interactions, follow-ups, trade shows, anytime that they’re meeting, any one-to-one interactions that they’re having, and any time that we want to consolidate a bunch of product brand information all into one curated microsite. RR: Okay, fantastic. I’m always a little bit curious about who owns those things, how you’re kind of building templates, and what you’re building for. I’d like to maybe switch gears from the digital rooms arena, knowing that you have the fun but kind of challenging job of being Highspot's solution owner for Ansell. In that role, your major job is to drive adoption and effective usage of the platform. Just a few months after launch, you’ve already reached a really astounding 85% adoption rate in Highspot, which—when you think about the breadth of behavior change that needs to be done—is super impressive. What are some of the best practices, if you have any that you could share, that helped you drive that adoption right off the bat? AP: I love change management and it makes it super fun. Our approach has been focusing on education consistency and advocacy, so we spent a lot of time with each of the different teams, showing them how to use the platform and how it connects to their daily workflows. We essentially made it the single source of truth for our campaigns, launches, and content. So it became more of a habit and not an extra step. Our marketing team members and super users have also played a pivotal role in reinforcing usage, sharing wins, and hosting their own one-to-one training sessions with different groups. Today we have an 85% recurring usage rate and strongly weekly recurring engagement from all of the different teams across the organization. RR: Well, that’s fantastic to hear. I mean, clearly you guys are doing all of the right things, and I know you're—like you’ve kind of alluded to here—keeping a really close pulse on those outcomes with weekly check-ins and things like that. I also know that each quarter you’re putting together a presentation highlighting major wins and how things are going. Since implementing Highspot, what key results have you achieved and are there any particular wins or achievements you’re particularly proud of that you could share with us? AP: We’ve seen strong engagement and alignment across the organization. We have over a hundred thousand content views and over 3000 external shares. 47% of our viewed content has been tied to opportunities. So truly, the materials that we’re producing fit into the real conversations that are happening. Our top 10 assets have also shown strong engagement, with some assets exceeding a hundred shares or downloads, and our Digital Rooms remain a major win with consistent interactions and hundreds of curated experiences that support our ongoing conversations. These results reflect the impact of a structured, aligned enablement approach that supports the way that our teams already work. RR: As a fellow marketer, I think hearing some of those numbers and some of the things that you’re thinking about, I am feeling the impact of that, and I’m like: “Oh, you guys are definitely doing the right things. I’m so glad that you’re seeing the impact and the usage of the content. I know that’s always so exciting and always makes the work feel a little bit more meaningful. Bravo, and thank you so much for sharing that with us. They’re, I think, again, really inspiring results, especially as I said so early in the journey. To close us out, one last wrap up question for you: If you could summarize one crucial lesson, one key point from your experience with Highspot and using it to improve your sales process, what would it be? AP: So the biggest lesson is that clarity fuels confidence. When our teams know where to go, what to use, and how to apply it, everything improves. The conversations, execution, and outcomes all become streamlined. Enablement is truly about connecting people, content, and insights in a way that supports repeatable, scalable execution. When you build that structure and provide visibility, the results will follow. RR: I think that’s a perfect way to wrap us up. Build your foundation and everything kind of comes from that. I think that’s fantastic to close on, but before we do, I do want to say thank you again for joining us. I’m so glad we had the opportunity to learn from all of the impact you and the team are driving. AP: Thank you for having me. RR: To our audience, thank you for listening to this episode of the Win/Win Podcast. Be sure to tune in next time for more insights on how you can maximize enablement success with Highspot.

Dr. Lynn Hellerstein of Vision Beyond Sight speaks with K.J. Risley or Kellie, a divorced mom and the author of “Rage & Reps, a 30-Day movement and healing journal for women rebuilding after betrayal,” to talk about helping women use Rage & Reps as a starting point to clear their minds, move their bodies, and rise stronger after betrayal. When Kellie's ex-husband had an affair, she turned to journaling and movement as an outlet for her rage. While she was a natural when it comes to working out, she discovered that journaling wasn't as easy or straightforward. As she navigated through her journey, she realized that women who experienced heartbreak and betrayal like her could benefit from a similar program, a healing journal combined with movement (and more!) that provides prompts and routines to help disentangle the confused mind and destress the tense body. And so Rage & Reps was born. K.J. inspires women who experienced life-altering pain and heartbreak especially those in their midlife. It's not your fault that you were betrayed. Forgive yourself and be empowered. In your journey forward, you will have to choose your hard: Do you want a pity party or create a life where you can succeed? How do you start perfectly? You don't. Start simple and start messy. Start releasing that rage and doing those reps, and you'll surely be on the way to recovery. Dr. Lynn Hellerstein, Developmental Optometrist, co-owner of Hellerstein & Brenner Vision Center, P.C., award-winning author and international speaker, holds powerful and inspiring conversations with her guests in the areas of health, wellness, education, sports and psychology. They share their inspirational stories of healing and transformation through their vision expansion. Vision Beyond Sight Podcast will help you see with clarity, gain courage and confidence.

In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Hunter Lee sits down with Justin Brach, CEO of SubcontractorHub, to break down what new and struggling door to door reps often miss about the contracting world. Justin brings nearly two decades of experience building and rescuing large construction organizations.Justin explains why so many contractors and solar companies collapse when they scale too fast, especially when teams chase volume without understanding cash flow, WIP timelines, and the dangers of becoming asset heavy. He also shares how SubcontractorHub solves this by connecting sales orgs and EPCs into one ecosystem, improving transaction speed and allowing reps to work with multiple installers under one roof.Reps will hear timely perspectives on AI in sales, why it will never eliminate door to door, and how AI is reshaping permitting, project management, lending, and operational efficiency behind the scenes. Justin breaks down how the most sustainable companies grow by staying capital efficient, compressing timelines, and putting customer outcomes above quick wins.You'll find answers to key questions such as: What causes new contracting and solar companies to fail when trying to scale fast?How does being asset light and capital efficient protect a D2D sales business?Why will AI never replace door to door sales reps?How do WIP timelines and cash flow delays impact installs and commissions? How can reps benefit from a decentralized platform that connects them to multiple EPCs? Connect with Justin Brach Website: https://subcontractorhub.comInstagram: @SubcontractorHub

My guest: Oz Pearlman is the greatest mentalist in the world. After leaving Wall Street to pursue his craft full-time, he's performed for Steven Spielberg's family, for Nobel laureates, and Fortune 500 CEOs. He ran a 2:23 marathon and holds the record for most laps around Central Park in a single day. With five kids and 250+ performances a year, Oz has mastered the art of reading people and understanding what separates good from world-class. Key Learnings (In Oz's words) Doug Anderson is the magician who got me into magic. When I was 13 years old, I went on a cruise with my parents. I got pulled up on stage and took part in a magic trick. (The sponge balls)  After the trick, my dad and I started creating theories on how the trick worked.  The people in every industry who make it to the top are the ones who are kind and respectful to others. As soon as you stop thinking that you can learn from others, you start dying.  What is the recipe for success? It's getting through the tough times. When I walked up to someone at a restaurant, and I'm 14, and I have a very fragile ego, after three tables in a row at differing levels of rudeness go by, "Dude, get outta here, man. Like, I don't wanna see this," it hurts. That's a painful thing to experience. I had to learn a defense mechanism very quickly because carrying that pain, pain turns into anger. When I get to the next table, I'm angry at the next group, even though they haven't done anything wrong to me. I realized to get my goal, I needed tougher, thicker skin. Deflect the rejection onto someone else.  Create separation between you and rejection. I created what I would call an agent in my own mind. When you're in showbiz, the conversations you don't wanna have, your agent has for you. I'm a 14-year-old doing restaurants. I don't have an agent, so here's what I decided. When they don't like me, they don't know me. They don't know Oz Pearlman. They know this guy Oz the magician, who walked up to them. Maybe my tricks aren't good enough. Maybe my approach wasn't good enough. Maybe they had a bad day at work or their kid's sick. I made it less about me, and I was able to deflect all of that pain and hurt to this other person. The fear of rejection is worse than the rejection itself. Once you experience rejection a few times, it's not that bad. It's like dating. It's a numbers game. You'll probably not meet your spouse on the first try. You gotta meet a whole lot of other people to realize what you like best in the person that hopefully ends up spending your life with. "Never let someone else be in charge of your destiny." When I do a gig, I don't wait for someone to go, "Oh man, that'd be great. Let me get your business card." I go, "Amazing. Let me get your number and your info. I'll have someone from my team call you." My team is you, me, myself, and I. There's no team. But it sounds fancier. Fake it till you make it. Branding is so important. When I went on America's Got Talent, I made a conscious decision to separate myself from the guy from the year before. (Matt Franco) He won. I thought we were too similar. I had to do something unique or do something better than anyone else. That's when I branded myself as a mentalist and not a magician.  Mentalism is much harder than magic to practice. Magic can be practiced in front of a mirror until you get almost perfect at a trick. Mentalism is near impossible to practice at home without an audience. It's like comedy. You can't tell jokes to a mirror and find out if they're funny. You need the audience to do it. Charm takes the sting out of so many things in life. It allows you to win people over quickly. What is charm? Just the ability to smile, to make someone laugh, to be vulnerable in a certain moment. That's a skill that's developed, and if you study it well, you can develop it quicker because everyone thinks it's natural. What I've learned from comedians:  It's the purest form of entertainment that exists. You, the audience, and a microphone. I think you start to get a feel for timing. Where to pause, what's funny, how to get people on your side. With a heckler, there's a very fine line between punching down and offending your audience versus having them on your side and laughing with you at someone as opposed to laughing at someone.  I'm a slightly more exaggerated version of myself when performing. The volume is turned up a little. The charisma is turned up a little, the ability to joke around, but it's me. I think that resonates. Walking into a room smiling, having no hesitation, connecting with somebody, remembering their name, giving them a compliment. Such easy, low-hanging fruit, separates you from 90% of other people if you can do them consistently and effectively and genuinely. "That's why he's Steven Spielberg." The Steven Spielberg lesson changed how I see success. I did Spielberg's dad's 99th birthday. At the end of it, Steven beelines to me and I'm ready. I thought I'd get 30 seconds. He talked to me for upwards of 20 minutes. He just asked question after question after question. When I left it was like a blur. I didn't ask Steven Spielberg a single question about Jaws, Close Encounters. I had all these things I wanted to ask him. I'm like, man, I totally screwed that up. But over time, the lesson got through to me. It wasn't about me. It wasn't what I was gonna ask him. It was about him. It was learning what makes him tick. No matter who you become, if you can make the other person feel like they're a star when they meet you, they will always remember that memory. Try to deflect. If people ask you questions, answer, but ask them something about themselves back that no one's asked them. Make them feel seen and heard. Make them feel like they are the star of your movie as well. Little things add up to big things over time. If you were to ask my kids what do I ingrain in them all the time? Gratitude and being polite. One of my secrets to success has always been being very polite. "Please, thank you. Always."  Write a thank-you note. When I was doing bar mitzvahs, birthday parties, I realized early on, when people are throwing a party, it's very stressful. The person hosting doesn't always have the greatest time. They're so worried about everyone else.  Create memorable moments. I would take a selfie with the bar mitzvah kid. I found this online service where I could instantly upload the photo. I would always give a compliment that was specific. I'd send these cards to them on Monday. The parties are usually on Saturdays. It would get there Tuesday or Wednesday. To this day, 15 to 20 years later, I'll get emails when I'm on TV from people being like, "I just dug up this card from 17 years ago. You were at Benjamin's Bar Mitzvah, and now he's 30 and has a kid of his own." Takes notes | Write everything down.  In today's day and age, there's a power in the human touch that still exists. Take notes, write stuff down. I'll leave a gig, I'll write some stuff down, I'll remember it. If I run into that person again in a month, in a year, in five years, I can literally look at my phone. It's literally like a mentalism trick to reveal that information to people even though they gave it to you already, because it shows you took the time. Some of the biggest things I've ever landed backtrack to small moments. ESPN, the thing that brought us together can backtrack to a Bar Mitzvah 18 years ago where I first met Adam Schefter. The first seed was planted, and I had to keep watering it, watering it, watering it. Small plant, small plant, until it grew into this thing. Now look at all the things that came from all the things I've done with ESPN, where Adam Schefter originated them.  You are interviewing for your next job every single day. You have no idea who might be in the audience. You have no idea, but you give it your all every single time. One time, Adam Schefter was in the audience. Intelligent people are often the easiest to fool. When intelligent people watch what I do, they're confident in their ability to figure it out. They think they're smarter than the average person, so they start looking for solutions. But that overconfidence creates blind spots. They're so focused on being right about how they think it's done that they miss what's actually happening. The more you think you know, the more vulnerable you become to being fooled because you're operating from assumptions rather than staying open to all possibilities. Reflection Questions Oz created an "agent in his mind" to deflect rejection away from his core self, making it about "Oz the magician" rather than Oz the person. What mental separation could you create to handle rejection or criticism more effectively in your professional life? Oz emphasizes that intelligent people are often the easiest to fool because they're confident in their ability to figure things out. In what areas of your life or work might overconfidence be blinding you to what's actually happening? Oz sends handwritten notes with specific compliments and a selfie to everyone he performs for.  What's one relationship in your network right now that could be strengthened with this level of intentional follow-up, and what specific compliment could you give that person?

If you want to get leaner and live longer check out https://milliondollarbodylabs.com   Are you tired of chasing big fitness goals only to fail once the wedding or vacation is over? What if the secret to lasting success is found in being "boring"?   I talk with Donovan Owens about his "Life is Reps" philosophy. He retired from owning fitness businesses to focus on mastery and presence. We discuss how big gestures like extreme diets usually fail because identity remains the same. Donovan explains his mastery morning system which includes physical, mental, and spiritual wins before interacting with anyone. He shares why he quit caffeine and alcohol to find his own energy. We explore how small daily actions create peace rather than just hitting targets. He advocates for systems thinking where every action affects the whole machine.   Key Takeaways ●     REPS stands for Repetitive Excellence Produces Success. ●     True transformation requires an identity shift, not just a six-week challenge; if who you are hasn't changed, you will return to old habits. ●     Mastery is an energy to embody every morning through a system of "quick wins". ●     A "Mastery Morning" involves three pillars: a physical win (like a walk), a mental win (journaling or study), and a spiritual win (intentional silence). ●     Building a "bored brain" is essential in an overstimulated world to help you get back to a state of presence and silence. ●     Systems thinking means recognizing that every small action (or "rep") affects the entire machine of your life. ●     "Stacking" one new behavior every two weeks leads to 26 new habits by the end of a year. ●     The "planning trick" is when the excitement of planning replaces the actual work; the best time to start a new habit is "now" rather than waiting for Monday or New Year's.   Resources ●     Life Is REPS Website: https://lifeisreps.com   Nate Palmer: The founder of The Million Dollar Body and author of "The Million Dollar Body Method", Nate has been coaching for over 15 years and has worked personally with over 1,000 clients. ●      Website: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/ ●      Book: The Million Dollar Body Method ●      Lean Energy Stack: https://milliondollarbodylabs.com/pages/lean ●      Instagram: @_milliondollarbody

Most new investors never buy their first apartment building for one simple reason: They don't make enough offers. In this episode, I break down why submitting LOIs is one of the most important reps you can get in this business — and why you're not actually "locked in" just because you made an offer. We'll talk about how many LOIs you should be submitting, what they really mean, why people freeze up at this stage, and how the simple act of making offers builds skill, confidence, deal flow, and real broker relationships. If you want to become an operator, you can't sit on the sidelines overanalyzing forever. Speed matters. Reps matter. And imperfect action beats waiting to feel ready every single time. I'll also walk you through: • LOIs vs PSAs — what's actually binding and what isn't • Why submitting offers helps you sharpen your underwriting • How brokers start taking you seriously • What happens after an LOI gets accepted • The real (and limited) financial risk involved • Why the people making offers are the ones who win long-term And I end with a simple challenge: submit at least one offer this week — even if it's verbal.

12.31.25, Denton Day discusses the Commanders' final game of the season vs the Eagles and what he wants to see in the game from young players getting more snaps.

Pool Pros text questions hereIn the conclusion of Natalie Hood's conversation with Ryan Walker, the focus shifts from “selling pool stuff” to selling outcomes: experience, lifestyle, confidence, and trust. This episode pulls the curtain back on what's really happening in today's retail and builder sales environment—homeowners aren't shopping locally anymore. They're shopping globally through TikTok, Instagram, and Pinterest, then walking into your store or your design meeting with Dubai-level expectations and a Michigan budget… and they still want you to make it real.Ryan breaks down why dealers and retailers can't win by being defensive, dismissive, or stuck in “this is how we've always done it.” Instead, the winning move is customer-centric discovery: show what's possible, guide the customer through tradeoffs, and give them a solution—not a shutdown. Along the way, the conversation hits pricing psychology, upselling ethically, supplier partnerships, training your staff in the off-season, and why one bad review can punch harder than ten great ones.What This Episode CoversSelling the vision, not just the pool Homeowners aren't buying “a body of water.” They're buying backyard life that replaces travel, replaces entertainment, and becomes the family experience hub. Pools (and even above-ground setups) have evolved into full environments—decks, lighting, wellness add-ons, the whole vibe.Why “cheap” isn't the conversation anymore With pool projects regularly crossing the $100K mark, obsessing over saving $50–$200 can be meaningless against the total investment (and the loan). The real job is to help the buyer spend smarter, not just spend less.Social media has changed the customer's brain Customers aren't looking at “what sells in this zip code.” They're looking at what looks insane on a reel. Dealers who don't adapt to global inspiration trends risk sounding outdated or dismissive—and that's how you lose the room (and the sale).Dealers must stop taking trends personally If a customer brings you an idea that's unrealistic or “not right for your market,” the answer isn't a slammed door. The answer is:explain why it's hard,explain what it would require,and offer an alternative solution that gets the same feeling with fewer headaches.How to upsell without being gross Ryan points out that strong sales isn't pressure—it's clarity. Customers want you to guide them. If you can retain attention, build trust, and connect features to outcomes, you can justify premium choices without acting like a carnival barker.Heat pump myth-busting (yes, even in cold markets) The episode calls out the “heat pumps don't work here” mindset and reframes it: heat pumps work in Canada, and Canada is colder than Michigan. Translation: the barrier isn't physics—it's explanation and expectation-setting.Supplier relationships: stop waiting to be visited Reps cover huge territories and get flooded with requests. If you want training, product support, or attention—ask for it. Call. Get the rep's number from the distributor. The hungriest dealers get the most support because they create the reason to show up.Off-season is training season Retail's biggest killer: bad reviews Training staff f Support the showThank you so much for listening!
