Rashmi Airan is a globally recognized keynote speaker, transformation expert, and former attorney whose story of resilience, accountability, and reinvention has inspired leaders and organizations around the world.A graduate of Columbia Law School, Rashmi built a successful career as an attorney, Wall Street investment banker, entrepreneur, and business leader before a series of decisions resulted in a federal prison sentence.Today, Rashmi uses that experience to help leaders navigate pressure, uncertainty, and ethical challenges with greater clarity and integrity. Through her Rise Through It™ framework, she helps individuals and teams strengthen resilience, self-awareness, trust, and values-driven leadership.SHOW SUMMARYIn this episode of Selling from the Heart, Larry Levine and Darrell Amy welcome Rashmi Airan for a powerful conversation about ethical drift, achievement, pressure, and the decisions sales professionals make when the stakes are high.Rashmi shares how her identity became tied to achievement and how financial uncertainty and the pressure to succeed influenced decisions that eventually changed the course of her life.She explains how fear can disguise itself as ambition, urgency, creativity, or aggressive problem-solving—making it easier to rationalize decisions that no longer align with our values.Rashmi introduces her Clarity Loop, four questions designed to create space between pressure and action: What am I feeling? What story am I telling myself? What matters most? What choice can I own later?Ultimately, this episode challenges sales professionals to pursue performance without sacrificing alignment, integrity, or the ability to look back and own the decisions they made.KEY TAKEAWAYSIntegrity rarely collapses—it drifts. Small compromises can gradually move us away from our values.Pressure can disguise fear as ambition. What looks like urgency or aggressive problem-solving may be driven by something deeper.Create space between pressure and action. A brief pause can change the trajectory of a high-stakes decision.Use the Clarity Loop. Ask: What am I feeling? What story am I telling myself? What matters most? What choice can I own later?Move from performance to alignment. Results matter, but they shouldn't determine which values you're willing to compromise.Practice moral humility. Recognize that anyone can drift under the right circumstances.Make disagreement safe. Healthy cultures need people who are willing and able to challenge decisions without fear of punishment.HIGHLIGHT QUOTESWe all have an inner voice. We all have a moral compass.We need people to disagree with us.If we're acting out of alignment with who we are or what we believe, that's where the bad decisions happen.Integrity rarely collapses, it drifts.What choice can I own later?ADDITIONAL RESOURCESExplore the secrets of heart-centered leadership and thriving workplace cultures with Culture from the Heart Podcast!

In this episode, Kevin and Alan scrutinise the belief that doing what you love should always feel effortless. They examine what happens when passion becomes responsibility and starts carrying expectations, deadlines, accountability, and measurable results. They also challenge the idea that meaningful work should always feel enjoyable, especially when long-term growth requires consistency, discipline, and sacrifice.They break down the difference between being experience-driven and results-driven, why turning a passion into sustainable income changes the stakes, and how responsibility can reshape your relationship with something you once did purely for enjoyment. You'll also hear why career alignment, personal development, skill building, and long-term success depend less on avoiding hard work and more on choosing work worth committing to. If your passion only works when nothing is required of it, that may be useful information._______________________NLU is more than a podcast.

Welcome to the NeurologyLive® Mind Moments® podcast. Tune in to hear leaders in neurology sound off on topics that impact your clinical practice.In this Mind Moments episode, Jennifer Fokas, MD, and Minali Nigam, MD, neurologists at Northwestern Medicine with specialized training in headache medicine, join the podcast to discuss current challenges and evolving strategies in the management of cluster headache. They highlighted the substantial burden of disease, particularly among patients with chronic cluster headache, and the diagnostic difficulties that arise from overlap with migraine features. They emphasized the importance of recognizing cranial autonomic symptoms as key distinguishing features, along with typical attack duration and circadian or seasonal patterns. The conversation also covered practical approaches to acute and preventive treatment, including high-flow oxygen via non-rebreather mask, subcutaneous sumatriptan, bridge therapies, and preventive options such as high-dose verapamil and, in selected cases, lithium. The physicians also review emerging and adjunctive options while noting limitations in evidence, indications, and access. They concluded by underscoring the need for clinician preparedness and tailored therapy to enable more assertive and appropriate management of cluster headache. Looking for more Headache and Migraine discussion?

In this episode, Dr. David Jockers walks you through a complete 14-day progressive fasting protocol built specifically to burn visceral fat, the inflammatory fat that wraps around your liver, pancreas, heart, and intestines, applying pressure to those organs and choking off circulation.   You will get the exact day-by-day schedule: a 14/10 fast for days one through three, a 16/8 upgrade for days four through six, an 18/6 window for days seven through thirteen to activate autophagy, and a single 24-hour water fast on day fourteen that triggers a growth hormone surge of up to 2,000 percent in men and 1,300 percent in women.   Dr. Jockers also covers the three eating rules that make or break the protocol, how to supercharge your fast with hydration, coffee, and light movement, the protein and fat first rule for breaking a fast correctly, and his answers to the eight questions he gets asked most often, from sweeteners and dizziness to whether the fat comes right back.

Heather Lindsey joins Ash Cash for a powerful conversation about faith, money, options trading, mindset, and learning how to make your money work for you. Heather shares her journey from traveling the world as a speaker and author to building The Busy Trader and teaching people how to approach the stock market in a way that fits their lifestyle. She also breaks down one of her most eye-opening trading examples: Heather says she started with $800, continued trading that amount while moving profits into a high-yield savings account, and grew the account to roughly $80,000 over seven months. In this episode, Heather explains how options trading works, her Five Minute Trader system, LEAPS, taking profits off the table, converting trading profits into long-term investments, and why having more money does not automatically make someone a better trader. She also reveals how she traded to fund a roughly $65,000 family trip instead of using earned income and why she believes beginners should learn, practice with paper trading, and build the skill before increasing their risk. But this conversation goes far beyond the stock market. Heather and Ash discuss faith and finances, scarcity mindsets, childhood trauma, burnout, obedience, generosity, identity, and why building wealth should create freedom and impact—not become another form of bondage. Educational content only. Trading and investing involve risk, including possible loss of principal. Results discussed are Heather's reported experiences and are not guaranteed.

Ed Baumgartner is a corn breeder and co-founder of Bass Hybrids in Olivia, Minnesota. His family has been in the seed corn business since the late 1930s, when his great uncles began producing hybrid seed as Troy Farms. Ed studied agronomy and plant genetics and spent 21 years and five mergers inside the commercial seed industry, much of it running winter nurseries in Puerto Rico and doing trait integration work for major companies. At Bass Hybrids, Ed breeds non-GMO corn using a shuttle breeding model borrowed from Norman Borlaug, cycling material between Puerto Rico and Minnesota for three generations a year under deliberate heat, drought, and disease stress. Working in 18 identified genetic families rather than the industry's two, he has selected for native insect tolerance and broad stress resilience and found those selections also produced plants with unusually strong microbial association and markedly lower nitrogen requirements. His current work includes nitrogen rate trials across genetics, interseeded cover crop studies in three states, and a 148-acre discovery farm dedicated entirely to regenerative research. In this episode, John and Ed discuss: Why corn inbreds developed before heavy nitrogen fertilization still carry the genetics for nutrient efficiency How some Bass hybrids produce 200 bushel corn on 50 pounds of applied nitrogen, and drop to 150 bushels when nitrogen is pushed above 200 Why Y-drop nitrogen placed too close to the stalk causes a yield hit on biologically responsive genetics The plant characteristics that signal high biological receptivity, including pubescence, leathery leaves, multiple ears, and heavy pollen loads Results from interseeding nine species of cover crops at V3, where the highest yielding treatment came with nitrogen cut by 25 percent Why Bass asked its seed producers to apply AEA's Pinion this season in place of conventional fungicide How AEA's fertility guidance gives growers an off-ramp from high nitrogen and an on-ramp for soil biology What germinator trials revealed about fungicide-treated seed versus seed grown without fungicides Additional Resources To listen to John's first conversation with the BASS Hybrids team, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/podcast/podcast-extra-john-kempf-bass-hybrids-on-the-future-of-corn/ To read the University of Wisconsin research on nitrogen-fixing corn in Mexico, please visit: https://journals.plos.org/plosbiology/article?id=10.1371/journal.pbio.2006352 To learn more about AEA's Pinion, please visit: https://advancingecoag.com/product/pinion/ To find Charles Walters' book Eco-Farm, please visit: https://bookstore.acresusa.com/products/eco-farm?srsltid=AU7gw4XfkT_GNsryakPAWEYC5avS6GxN3ikUv9nbqaG0cJXfyZIq3Y8_ To learn more about BASS Hybrids, please visit: https://www.basshybrids.com/ About John Kempf John Kempf is the founder of Advancing Eco Agriculture (AEA).

Are you tired of second-guessing whether an intuitive download is authentic spiritual guidance or just fear and overthinking? In this guided Reiki journey led by Danni Smith, you will bring a specific decision, hunch, or concern into sacred space to test its energetic tone and physical somatic response. Learn how to recognize the felt difference between steady inner knowing and urgent mental pressure while anchoring deep self-trust without needing immediate certainty. Key Insights Somatic Tone vs. Mental Urgency: Authentic spiritual guidance registers as steady, spacious, and clear, even when asking you to do something challenging. In contrast, fear, old stories, and overthinking typically present as physical heaviness, tightness in the throat or chest, and a frantic demand to act immediately. The Expansion Test: Real guidance offers curiosity, options, and room to take a manageable next step. Fear contracts your energetic field, making you feel small, anxious, and locked into only one rigid, acceptable outcome. Trusting Without Total Certainty: Discernment is a living practice rather than an instantaneous final verdict. By pausing, muscle testing, and placing Reiki around the sensations, you learn to trust your inner knowing and stay in motion without needing 100% certainty. The River of Flow and Synchronicities: Once you release the pressure to fix or evaluate guidance right away, clarity naturally unfolds through divine timing. Guides often confirm aligned steps through everyday messages, license plates, songs, and the smooth flow of the River of Peace.   People Also Ask (FAQ) How does genuine spiritual guidance feel in the body? Authentic spiritual guidance feels steady, grounded, and open in the body, even when delivering a difficult truth. It provides space and curiosity rather than physical tightness, heaviness, or frantic urgency. How can I tell if a thought is coming from fear or intuition? Fear demands immediate, pressured action and creates a sensation of closing down options or repeating old patterns. Intuition unfolds with calm clarity, offering possibilities and inviting you to take one aligned next step at a time. Do I need total certainty to trust my intuition? No, spiritual discernment rarely requires 100% certainty before taking action. Practicing self-trust involves pausing, listening to somatic cues or muscle testing, and allowing momentum to build like a flowing river.

How do you tell the difference between spiritual guidance, fear, and your own overthinking? In this episode, Robyn Benelli and Danni Smith break down how intuitive discernment actually works in daily life. Learn how to tune into your physical body to recognize fear-based mental spinning, shift out of emotional matching, and anchor into grounded truth with micro-practices like Gassho and the Reiki Ideals. Key Insights: The Somatic Check-In: Real guidance carries a calm, grounded weight in the physical body. Fear, worry, and intrusive thoughts typically present as urgency, repetitive spinning, tension, and a racing mind. When unsure, a simple breath or placing hands in Gassho allows the body's spiritual muscle memory to reset. Energetic Entrainment & Empathic Disentanglement: Highly sensitive people often match the emotional frequencies of those around them, mistaking external anxiety for intuitive direction. Dropping back into your authentic center and returning to the Reiki Ideals helps untangle your true guidance from collective or interpersonal noise. Navigating the Field of Possibilities: High-creativity daydreaming and wishful thinking can mimic intuitive inspiration. By pausing in the "Field of Possibilities" to ask for your clear next step, you can look beneath surface daydreams to reveal the authentic soul need, such as unstructured creative expression or self-care. Discernment Is a Practiced Skill: Spiritual discernment does not require immediate, 100% certainty. Intuition is a skill built over time through repetition, boundary-setting, and practice rather than a magical gift reserved for a select few.   People Also Ask (FAQ) How can I tell the difference between intuition and fear? Intuition registers as grounded awareness in the body, even when addressing difficult situations. Fear and anxiety feel frantic, urgent, and mentally repetitive, creating physical tightness or a spinning sensation in the chest and stomach. What is Clair Intellect in spiritual guidance? Clair intellect is the intuitive ability to receive guidance directly as clear, spontaneous thoughts and problem-solving. While powerful, it requires discernment practices, such as Gassho and somatic body checks, to ensure insights are not being confused with overthinking or worry. Can spiritual discernment and intuition be learned? Yes, spiritual discernment is a skill that is developed through consistent practice rather than an innate gift reserved for a select few. By using regular meditative anchors, Reiki self-practice, and somatic awareness, anyone can train their spiritual muscle memory to trust intuitive insights Connect with Robyn and Colleen Website: https://reikilifestyle.com Podcast: https://reikilifestyle.com/podcast/ Community: Join our next Distance Reiki Share: https://reikilifestyle.com/reiki-share/ **DISCLAIMER** This episode is not a substitute for seeking professional medical care but is offered for relaxation and stress reduction, which support the body's natural healing capabilities.

Establishing the right systems in your practice creates consistency, profitability, and freedom in ways that individual effort is never going to. Kiera talks about the difference between systems and the people using them, how to know if you need a new system, why the right system equals scalability, and more. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: Kiera (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team Listeners. This is Kiera. And today I want to just go back to basics with you because I think that this is such an important thing because we talk so much about systems, but I think people want systems and we talk about systems and like what are systems? And like what is the difference between a system and needing to train people? And I think that there's just this like back and forth in our worlds where we think like, hey, if I get a system, everything's gonna work. Or   Hey, if I get the right people and train them, then it's all going to work. And I think that they go hand in hand. And so today I wanted to kind of break down, dispel, disseminate, and like what exactly is a system? What exactly should we train? How do we put these two things together? And how do you really get the freedom that you're looking for? Like, we're about to roll into a mastermind and I was building the content. So spoiler alert, if you're not a part of our in-person masterminds, get your booties over into Dental A Team because we do meet twice a year and have a leadership mastermind where doctors and OMs get together with myself.   our entire consulting team, and we really talk about things off record. So there's no cameras, there's no recording in there, and it's just a rift area. And I was working on like what do dentists really want? And it's the control paradox. They want control, but the way you get control is by knowing that your systems are working for you and people are reporting. You don't want to actually do all the pieces, but you want it to report back to you and you want to know things are being done your way. Yes or yes yes. Like, am I speaking to you? And do I know you? I hope so. Because I absolutely love dentists. I want to just give you a giant hug and I want to remind you.   That you are doing better than you think you are. I want to remind you that there is an easier path than what you're doing. And I wish I could find somebody that was the Kiera Dent for dental consulting companies. I wish, I wish I could find her. I had a client tell me today, he said, Kiera, you have blessed the world of dentistry in so many ways. And I take that as such a huge compliment because not only did we make their practice better, but that doctor is literally working seven to three, four days a week, taking home several millions a year, living their best life, being with their kids, and to be able to give someone their life back.   Be able to help grow them personally and professionally, that is the greatest gift in honor. And so I am so honored that this is the job I get to do. This is the company that we have. And so while systems are annoying, I want to remind you like this is the way that you're actually going to get the freedom, aka the control that you want to be able to see if your practice is working. So I want you guys to recognize we've got to do systems, we've got to do training, we've got to hold accountable. We can't just put it in play. Like there's cure, this feels hard. I know one of our core values is ease. So I'm gonna try and break it down with you.   Of ease. These are things that we've done hundreds of thousands of times. We work across the nation with small boutique practices. We're talking Medicaid, FIFA service, boutique, natural path to multi-locations. I've got a practice that is building, I'm not joking, a 50 op location. So you name it. We've seen so much in our world. We've seen the DSO world. We've seen the private practice world. We've seen DSO's gone wrong. We've seen DSO's gone right. I feel like having that experience and credibility is something whew.   You can't get other than just living through it. And then my job is to give you as much of that and to hopefully work with you, empower you, change your world, whatever it is. All I ask in return is that you leave us a comment, you leave those five stars, and you share this with someone. That's all I ask. Because if we can serve and help more people just like you, that is the greatest gift. You guys know my mission is to possibly impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. That's why I do this. This is why I do it for free. I don't charge you anything. I don't ever, we don't even have ads. We do our own thing because   Wanna make sure that we're giving you guys back high value quality. So, with that, what I want you guys to realize is systems are going to create consistency, profitability, and freedom in ways that individual effort is never going to fix for you. So, number one, systems are what's gonna create that consistency for you. So when a person leaves, we don't want that knowledge to go out the door with them. When someone has a day off, we don't want that knowledge to go with them. We want to have that system of stability through all of it. And that's what it's gonna create. I remember the day that I had my company go through, it was a three month project, and I had us work.   Actually, break down our entire operations manual. There was like a sense of relief in breath that I could relief that I never realized I had. Now, that is a hard project, and usually it's not gonna move the needle for you. I'll tell you that was one of my worst quarters. Profitability-wise, we didn't grow, but stability-wise, we exponentially grew. Now it's been about five years since I did that project, and guess what? We've outgrown those systems. So guess what? It's probably time for us to do it, and we are actually working on our next version of it. And I'm so excited about it because it's gonna be so much better.   We do not like the way you can tell a system is missing is every team member does it differently. So if you walk in and you're having different assistants work with you and every assistant sets it up differently, guess what? You probably don't have a system. You just have people just doing it their own way. If different schedulers or if a scheduler is out and our schedule doesn't go the same way, now that doesn't mean case acceptance is perfect because there are some skills behind it, but that does mean that we have a set follow-up, we do the same billing. If this person's out for a week, everybody would be able to do it. That's going to help.   If new hires struggle to learn, we don't have a system. We have it being where people are telling each other. If results depend on who's working that day, you don't have a system. You have a people thing. So what we want to have is, excuse me, you want to have documented processes, you want to have standardized expectations, and we want everybody to be trained the same way. But we also want to make sure that that system really is getting us the results that we want. So what we do is   I'm big on when we take on an office instead of doing a whole operations manual like I did. You can do that. Don't worry, we can help you with that if that's your like main shebang. but typically what we're gonna do is we're going to look at what is the vision of the practice, what does that doctor and owner want? And then what are the numbers telling us? And usually your number that's the lowest number or what the PL tells us, that's where we're first gonna build systems because everybody wants the system to win, right? Like if I come in and I put in a protocol for I don't know, like scheduling.   But your schedule's great. We're all out on time. We're hitting our productive goals. Sure, that's nice to have. And I'd like it documented of what we're currently doing to make sure, like if that person's out, we can repeat it. But odds are that's probably not my biggest pain point. Now, there is a flip side to that. And I will say that if team members leave, then yes, it is a very detrimental. So at a minimum, I like every team member to have a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly list of what they do and at least those protocols written down. So if someone's out, I can grab their checklist and I can be like, all right.   Sarah daily does this, and here is where it is in the drive, or here's a video of it, or here's a checklist of it. So that way if Sarah's gone on vacation, nothing that Sarah is doing is dropped. So non-negotiable for me is everybody has to have a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly. If you want those, guess what? We have them for all of our clients. So makes life real easy. And that's just something we've built, but every person should have that. Then what we're gonna look at is we're gonna actually build systems based on the metrics and the numbers. Because basically we've got the core processes done.   Those are core processes daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, what do we do? And we've got quick systems built behind the scenes. So that way I've got everybody's job. So if anybody walks out and leaves me, I'm not sitting here like, huh, how do we like it's crazy. Whenever someone goes on vacation, I'm like, awesome. Let's see if we've got a protocol written for this. Let's see if we've written it down. Can we figure out how to do podcast scripts? Can we figure out how to do podcast reels? Can we figure out how we do podcast recordings? Can we figure out how we do payments? Can we figure out how we schedule?   And if we don't have all that written down to where anybody without being told can do it, let's start with that. So, and then after that, let's look at what our numbers are telling us and let's build systems there. So if like a front office doesn't have a great scheduling system, which happens, you get wildly different outcomes based on who's answering the phone, who's there. Once you put into play a scheduling protocol, here's our block schedule, here's how we do all of our scheduling, instantly consistency improves, production goes up, everybody goes home on time. That's a system.   So I believe that great practices aren't dependent on individual memory. They've got to be dependent on you and your practice and like where no matter who comes in, yes, I want eight players, but I want eight players to be able to follow a system and a process. Systems make excellence repeatable. And I think that that is a great line for you to take down. Systems make excellence repeatable. So what do you have going on? How is this for you? And so I just want you to like quickly look through if you don't have your daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly, annual plans, start there.   If you do look at an area based on your numbers and your metrics of where are maybe we are missing in this section that I could have variable results and we could document a process so I get set results per people. That's gonna help you have just a process for it. And like I said, this is going to reduce your stress, give you the control that you're looking for, and the consistent results that I know you're dying for. So next step is systems actually reduce stress and decision fatigue. Once we have a system and a process, like this is how we always set up for a crowd.   This is how we always schedule. This is what we do for hiring. Here's how we place the ads. You don't have to constantly be thinking of what to do. Teams get overwhelmed not because they're busy. It's because they're constantly deciding and making up new processes and protocols. Like, yes, they're busy, but think about what they're busy on. It's like, shoot, we don't know how to hire. We don't have a set process. Like we don't have a recare reactivation process. So it just automatically goes. So our schedule is always full.   Like we always call 20 people every single day, non-negotiable. I don't care if it's a busy day, a bad day, a great day, a wonderful day, a horrible day. We make 20 phone calls every single day and we send out 20 texts every single day, non-negotiable to make sure our schedule is full. Then we have a recare reactivation. So at the beginning of every month, we run these items, we send out the postcards, we send out the letters, we send out the text, whatever your process is, we do that every single first day. For me as a CEO, every single like I literally woke up.   At midnight this month because my standard is by the 30th or 31st last day of the month, all of the money transfers for profit first are made non-negotiable. That's what I do. I don't want to think about it, I don't want to make that decision like, am I gonna save money this month? Am I no, it's just a process, it's a cadence. So when we're missing a system, it looks like team members are asking the same questions repeatedly. Like, pay attention, what questions are coming up? We need a system and a process that's easy and repeatable. Leaders.   Solving problems day in, day out. Doctors, you are the solving machine. It comes to you constantly, constantly, constantly. You don't have a system for that. Or constant interruptions throughout the day. Hey, what do you think we should do about this? Hey, what do you think we should do about that? Hey, there's a process for this. Hey, we already have that written. So, what successful practices do is they create clear workflows. We have established expectations, and then we just repeat build repeatable processes and systems that are very easy to find. So again, that daily, weekly, quarterly has been my easiest one for people to just find like.   What am I supposed to do? I don't know. Well, great. Here's what we do on a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly per position in our practice. And then here's how to do it. So if daily we join morning huddle, well, here's our process, here's a form, here's the agenda that you fill in and it has it written out. Office manager does this part, dental assistant does this part, hygienist does this part. No one has to think about it. Everybody knows we all come prepared for morning huddle. We win our day.   At the end of the day, we have an end-of-day checklist that just makes sure we have all the pieces checked off. This is what we do. We're set up to win in billing. We know every single first length Monday we run this new report. We're working through these accounts. By the end of the month, I'm expected to get all the way through all those items of every single patient in the AR. every single day I resend batched claims, like those are just systems. New patients, we have a new patient form. We are able to schedule them within 15 minutes.   and we make sure that they are always confirmed 48 hours in advance. We leave no open holes. Like if someone's unconfirmed, they don't get to stay on the schedule. Case acceptance, here's our follow-up process for every single appointment that we we present. Hygiene, here's our period protocol. So every hygienist is presenting period the exact same way. We have NDTR handoffs on our route slips, like simple, easy things that are going to fix your practice because not only will you get higher production, but there's less chaos.   Like team members just know what to do. They're like, well, how do get that well operated? Like, there is the lean management that you can look at. It's really how do I break this down in the most simple, repeatable processes? And for me, I don't like yes have a form so people can follow it, but I'm big on like what can I have the software do for me? What can I do to set this up? So like block scheduling, it's very clear that we don't schedule within that. Now, do people have to follow the blocks? Yes.   So that we just have an accountability piece that we follow this through. And if you choose to schedule in the block, great. We have an audit system. Our OM has an audit system at the end of the week. Anyone who's scheduled inside those blocks gets to call that patient on Friday. Ding, ding, ding. Nobody wants to do that. Nobody, nobody breaks the blocks. We have an end-of-day checklist. It's reviewed every single day and it's turned back into our team members at the morning huddle. We have a morning huddle agenda that we follow, non-negotiable. We have a weekly meeting form. We have L10 meetings that we run with our teams.   These are systems that just make your practice run. And so for that, I want you just to see like systems are going to help create that mental space that you and your practice are craving. And so when you think about your team, think about fewer decisions that they have to make. That's going to give them more energy to serve patients, more energy to be able to like have that customer service, that care, rather than like, shoot, I don't know where I need to schedule this person. Or like, hey, what do I do when a patient calls for this? The goal is that people should be able to do this without you.   So I would ask your team like, what's one or two tasks that if we handled it differently every time, what's one of those tasks that we just every one of us does it a different way? And then let's build a system for that and all of us follow through on that. And then systems just, you know, they do create the scalability and the freedom. So I love to build like you and your vision, make sure your earnings and profit are there. And then we put systems into place, but it should be like systems that lead to scalability and scalability that leads to legacy for you. So you want growth, you want freedom, you want that. Systems are gonna help you do this.   Think if you went and opened up another practice today. Trust me, I did this. I had my first practice for nine months, opened up our second location. Yeah, that was super thrilling. And I thought I had systems. We did not have a system for how we scheduled. We did not have a system for how the doctors were scheduled. We did not have a system for how we check in, check out patients. We did not have a system for how we do sterilization. We did not have a system for how we do hygiene perio. Guess what? That became double. Remember that? Like double the flavor, double the fun, double, I think, I don't know, the flavor with double mint gum.   That's what happened. And it was double the stress, double the chaos, double the nonsense with double the practice ownership. So there's your little jingle for the day. So we have to look to see like, all right, whether you want to scale to multi-locations, whether you want to have less clinical days that you're working, systems are gonna create that scalability. But again, you can have a system written. So we build the system first, we train leaders on the systems. Then this is the third clutch piece is we have to have accountability around the system. I don't know how many teams roll out a billing procedure.   But they don't follow up with it. So then it just goes by the wayside. We create a scheduling protocol, but we don't audit the schedule to ensure it's working. You can't just have a system that has no follow through. It has to have accountability. Otherwise, you're always gonna just have a lot of words, a lot of pretty paper, and not get the results you want. So for me, I'm big on cadences like end of week checklist, end of month checklist. What needs to get done? What are the things that need to be reviewed and audited? Let's create that for you. And we have that for office managers, we have that for   l leaders. this is a big space to be able to have it. And so I think once a a good example of this is there's a doctor who wanted to have a vacation. This is a doctor I've worked with who I think has been in practice for about 20 years. And last year they went on a vacation for a month, a whole month. This doctor went off they went and did golf they went and raced cars. They had just the best time and the practices actually did better than they've ever done. And all the systems were intact. All the team was there.   Team knew what to do. There were a couple of things that the office manager was like, I don't know what to do, Kiera, like help me out. We worked through it. We created a system and a process. So in the future, those things are done. You'll never be able to have everything done. But if they know who to go to, they know where to go. But all the doctors were able to hit production, they were able to run their morning huddles, they were able to have of day checklists. That doctor was able to truly have a real vacation and the leaders were to keep the systems going. They didn't come back to fires and chaos and like the schedule broken.   They have these as systems, they have them as protocols, they have them with accountability, and the practice can continue running successfully without you there. That to me is the pinnacle of systems creating that scalability, that structure. Because, like again, going back to the beginning, where we're like, is it systems? Is it training? It's systems, then it's training, and then it's accountability. Systems train accountability. I wish I could say it sat, like the SAT.   systems accountability training but it's got to go the reverse so STA sorry maybe that's like the beginning of start STA figure R T if anybody wants to come up with an alliteration for me go for it but it's systems training accountability maybe then it's results the freedom there you go there's your start you're welcome so systems training accountability results the freedom okay there's your start acronym I hope that Alex has a good time with these show notes for you   But that's systems, that's scalability, that's repeatability, that's getting the results you want, but it's systems training accountability. That's how we start getting the freedom we want. That's how we start getting the results we want, that's how we start making the progress that we want, that's how we get started. So, what I would recommend is remembering that systems do create this consistency, systems do reduce stress, systems can create scalability and freedom if done correctly with the system written down, documented.   Then trained to the entire team and then held accountable that we actually follow through. And for me in that training piece, I like it to be anything that's automated. Put it on a route slip, put it in a note template, put it as an automated thing at the end of the week, create it to where it automatically emails out to everybody. And here's the checklist that we do. Whatever you gotta do, automate it as much as possible. that should be sk system training, automate and accountability. There you go. Results, the freedom. but really   People are so powerful and systems make that power repeatable. So if you want help on this, if you need help on this, if you want to go from where you are to where you know you could be, if you're sick of being in the rut that you've been in for so long, reach out. Because guess what? You don't need to keep solving the same problems over and over and over again. And when I look at Dental A   Team and the struggles I have, I have hired people that literally know where I need to go and they've been able to get me there. And then I've also had people that didn't know how to get there and it was a struggle for me.   So hire somebody who's been there, done that, and can actually like cut through the noise for you, get your team aligned, get things moving forward. That's what we do. So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. This is your time to shine. This is your time not to stress anymore. And I can't wait to help you get the freedom, get the control that you're looking for. And systems are a great way to do it. So reach out Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. And I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Covid changed the relationship between employees, offices and commuting, particularly in cities such as Tokyo. For many people, working from home eliminated hours spent standing in packed trains every day. That time could suddenly be spent sleeping, exercising, enjoying hobbies, being with the family or simply getting more work done. The bigger leadership question is what happens when working from home stops being an emergency response and becomes a permanent part of working life. Hybrid work brings obvious benefits, but it also removes many of the informal interactions leaders once took for granted. That means leaders need to deliberately create opportunities to spend real, face-to-face time with their people. One surprisingly powerful answer may be very simple: have more meals with the team. Why do leaders need more face-to-face time in a hybrid workplace? Hybrid and remote work reduce the spontaneous personal interactions through which leaders often discover what is really happening with their people. Zoom, Teams and other online meetings are excellent for conducting business, but not every workplace issue fits comfortably into a scheduled video call. When everyone worked in the office, leaders had numerous opportunities to notice things. A brief corridor conversation, a chat after a meeting or a spontaneous discussion could reveal concerns that would never warrant someone scheduling a formal meeting with the boss. Hybrid work removes many of those moments. That matters because employees may be dealing with difficult clients, strained relationships with colleagues, concerns about their boss or other sensitive workplace issues. If there isn't an easy opportunity to raise them, people may simply keep quiet and let the problem fester. Do now: Don't assume that because nobody is raising problems on Zoom, there aren't any problems. Deliberately create opportunities for private face-to-face conversations. Why can sharing a meal improve communication between leaders and employees? A meal creates a more relaxed environment than a formal meeting and can make difficult conversations easier to begin. Lunch or dinner changes the atmosphere and gives the leader and employee time together without a computer screen dominating the interaction. The objective isn't fine dining. The important ingredient is communication. This is especially valuable when discussing tender subjects such as difficult customers, problems with colleagues or frustrations inside the organisation. Sitting opposite the boss in a meeting room and being expected to explain a sensitive issue can feel intimidating. A restaurant creates a different dynamic. The conversation can move naturally between work and other topics. Silence doesn't have to be immediately filled. The employee has time to decide whether there is something they want to discuss. The leader also gets something increasingly scarce in the hybrid workplace: uninterrupted one-to-one time. Do now: Use occasional lunches and dinners as leadership opportunities rather than treating every employee conversation as another formal meeting. Why don't important employee issues always surface on Zoom? Employees naturally filter what they discuss in formal online meetings, so leaders can mistakenly believe they know more about what is happening inside their organisation than they actually do. This is one of the troubling things about those chance encounters when someone suddenly tells you what has really been going on. You find yourself thinking, "I wonder what else I am not across, which I need to know about?" Online meetings generally have an agenda and a purpose. Everyone knows why they are there. Sensitive issues don't necessarily fit neatly between agenda items. There is also a psychological difference between clicking "Join Meeting" for a scheduled discussion with the boss and gradually raising an issue during a relaxed conversation over lunch. Leaders therefore need to think preventatively rather than reactively. Don't wait until the employee requests the meeting because the situation has become unbearable. Do now: Ask yourself what information your current communication system is unlikely to uncover, rather than assuming scheduled meetings are telling you everything. How often should leaders have meals with their team members? Meals with employees work best when they become a regular leadership cadence rather than occasional events triggered by problems. The objective is to systemise informal communication before issues become serious. Birthdays can provide one opportunity. Taking someone to lunch on their birthday is a nice recognition element within the team culture and creates natural one-to-one time. But once a year isn't enough. Leaders should consider regularly rotating through their direct reports. There may also be important people outside the direct reporting line who would benefit from occasional one-to-one time. This doesn't need to become an expensive corporate entertainment programme. You have to eat lunch anyway. The restaurant doesn't need Michelin stars, and the meeting doesn't necessarily need to take place near the office. In a hybrid environment, a mutually convenient location may actually be easier for both people. Do now: Create a simple rotation so every direct report receives regular informal face-to-face time rather than waiting for chance encounters. How can leaders make employee lunches psychologically safe? The lunch must feel like a genuine conversation, not an interrogation disguised by food. Leaders need to create an atmosphere where employees feel they can speak openly if they want to, without feeling pressured to reveal something. Sometimes nothing magical will emerge. That doesn't mean the lunch was wasted. Simply spending relaxed time together can strengthen trust, and trust may make a future conversation possible. I once spent an hour sitting in silence in a small meeting room with a female employee in her early twenties. She was experiencing a problem involving her boss, who was more than 50 years old. Eventually she told me, "I can't tell you the problem." That was that. I still don't know what the issue was. But I have often wondered whether getting out of the office and talking over a meal might have made it easier for her to open up. Do now: Don't measure the success of the meal by how much information you extract. Measure it by whether you are strengthening the relationship and building trust. Can regular face-to-face contact help leaders retain employees? Strong personal relationships with leaders can become increasingly important for retention when talented employees have plenty of alternative employment opportunities. Recruiters are actively looking for people who might be persuaded to leave their current employer. If the leader has little personal contact with team members, problems can grow unnoticed. By the time the leader discovers the employee is unhappy, a recruiter may already be having the conversations the leader should have been having. That doesn't mean lunch is some magical retention technique. Employees leave organisations for many reasons, including compensation, career development, management quality and better opportunities. But regular personal contact gives leaders a better chance of understanding what is happening before the resignation letter arrives. There is a simple competitive reality here. Someone may be prepared to spend time building a relationship with your best people. It would be smart if that someone were you. Do now: Treat regular personal contact as part of leadership and retention, rather than waiting for the annual engagement survey to discover how people feel. Leadership in the Hybrid Workplace Requires Deliberate Human Contact Hybrid work has changed many of the assumptions leaders previously made about communication. When everyone was in the office, relationships could develop through dozens of small interactions. Leaders could observe behaviour, have spontaneous conversations and notice when something didn't seem right. Those opportunities are much less reliable when people are working remotely. Leaders therefore need to deliberately recreate some of the human contact that disappeared when the workforce left the office. That doesn't mean dragging everyone back into the building five days a week just so the boss can see them. It means finding intelligent ways to create meaningful face-to-face contact. A regular lunch with direct reports is hardly a revolutionary management technology. It is simple, inexpensive and easy to organise. The critical point is the purpose behind it. Don't interrogate people. Don't turn lunch into another performance review. Don't arrive with a checklist of questions and start taking notes between courses. Have a conversation. Listen. Build trust. Give people the space to tell you what is happening — including the things they would never raise on Zoom. In a hybrid workplace, your employees are going to have lunch with someone. Better that it is occasionally you rather than the recruiter trying to lift them out of your shop.

I used to think a bigger program meant more value. What it actually did was water down results, and it started costing me clients. If you have ever opened your own program and thought, "How do I teach all of this?" you are not disorganised. You organized your coaching framework by topic instead of results. Topics expand forever. Results have a finish line. In this episode, I break down the more-is-better fallacy, and I give you one question that clears out everything in your program that is not getting your clients an outcome. What you'll learn: Why teaching a topic keeps you from being seen as the solution to a problem The one cut test question to run every module and exercise through Why cutting content belongs in your renewal strategy, not the trash What a bloated program quietly costs you in referrals, sales calls and completion rates How reverse design gives you a framework you can teach, scale and sell without a twenty minute explanation Mentioned in this episode: Retention Point by Robert Skrob The Coach's Signature Training Series, live on Zoom October 6, 7 and 8 at 10am Arizona time: https://amanda-walker.com/live/ Framework Builder Lab www.amanda-walker.com/lab 10 Powerful Questions: https://amanda-walker.com/questions How To Get Clients limited series: https://amanda-walker.com/limitedseries Say hi on Instagram: @awalkmyway If this one lands, leave a review and share it with a coach who needs it.

Recorded live at the Tri-State Dairy Nutrition Conference, this episode of the Real Science Exchange podcast explores one of the biggest opportunities facing modern dairy producers: unlocking the full genetic potential of today's high-producing cows through nutrition.The conversation opens with introductions and a discussion of each speaker's background in dairy nutrition, fatty acid research, and commercial consulting. Dr. Bales shares insights from her graduate research on oleic acid and high-oleic soybeans, while Nate Elzinga discusses lessons learned working directly with dairy operations across Michigan. Their combined perspectives set the stage for understanding how science and practical farm management intersect. (00:00 - 05:31)As the discussion progresses, Dr. Lock explains a critical concept shaping the future of dairy nutrition: genetics establish the ceiling for milk fat production, but nutrition, management, and environment determine whether cows actually reach that ceiling. The panel reviews how genomic selection has dramatically accelerated gains in both milk fat and milk protein output, creating new opportunities for producers who can provide nutritional programs capable of supporting these genetically advanced animals. (05:32 - 08:31)While new technologies continue to emerge, the speakers repeatedly emphasize that forage quality remains the foundation of milk fat production. Success starts with highly digestible fiber, proper hybrid selection, timely harvest, and preserving forage quality throughout storage and feeding. High-producing cows can only express their genetic potential when the nutritional base of the diet is optimized. The panel discusses how forage management decisions often have a greater impact on long-term performance than any single feed additive or nutritional intervention. (08:32 - 11:03)The conversation naturally transitions into the role of fatty acid nutrition. Research continues to demonstrate that milk fat responses depend not simply on feeding more fat but on delivering the right fatty acid profile. The group discusses the growing use of palmitic acid, oleic acid, and high-oleic soybeans, highlighting how different fatty acid sources influence milk fat production and overall cow performance. (11:04 - 13:27)Building on that discussion, Dr. Lock introduces a more advanced framework for evaluating milk fat synthesis. Rather than focusing solely on dietary fat inclusion, he explains the importance of understanding fatty acid requirements on a molar basis. This perspective draws attention to the crucial role of de novo fatty acid synthesis within the mammary gland and reinforces how rumen fiber digestion supplies acetate and butyrate, two key building blocks needed to support increasing milk fat output. The message is clear: healthy rumen function remains essential for maximizing milk components. (12:18 - 16:10)From there, the discussion shifts to transition cow management and the lasting impact of nutritional interventions during early lactation. The panel reviews research demonstrating that nutrition strategies implemented during the first few weeks after calving can influence milk yield, energy-corrected milk production, body condition, and overall lactation performance long after the treatment period ends. The fresh cow period presents a unique opportunity to establish the trajectory for an entire lactation. (16:11 - 21:41)Several studies discussed during the episode evaluate combinations of higher metabolizable protein diets, protected amino acids, palmitic acid supplementation, and high-oleic soybeans. Results suggest that strategically combining these nutritional tools during early lactation may create additive responses that improve performance well beyond the immediate treatment window. (19:24 - 23:33)Despite the strong biological responses observed with many premium nutrition programs, implementation ultimately depends on economics. The speakers discuss how milk prices, feed costs, and return-on-investment considerations influence producer decision-making. Even when nutritional technologies deliver measurable improvements in milk fat production, adoption can be challenging during periods of reduced profitability. (23:34 - 24:29)As the episode concludes, the panel looks toward emerging opportunities in dairy nutrition, including amino acid balancing beyond lysine and methionine, evolving nutrition models, nutrient interactions between amino acids and fatty acids, and future strategies for optimizing milk components. Continued innovation will be necessary as dairy genetics continue advancing at a remarkable pace. (24:30 - 33:35)Throughout the discussion, one message remains consistent: maximizing milk fat production requires far more than adding supplemental fat to a ration. Success depends on integrating genetics, forage quality, rumen function, fatty acid nutrition, amino acid balancing, and transition cow management into a comprehensive feeding strategy. When these factors work together, dairy producers can better position their herds to capture the full value of today's remarkable genetic progress.Join dairy nutritionists, researchers, veterinarians, and producers from around the world as they explore the latest science shaping the future of animal agriculture.Subscribe to the Real Science Exchange Podcast, share this episode with your colleagues, and register for upcoming Real Science Lecture Series webinars.Screenshot your podcast subscription, review, or rating and email it to anh.marketing@balchem.com.

Every January, artists promise themselves this is the year they finally show up consistently in the studio. By February, the sketchbook's still blank. Jodie has a different theory: fall, not January, is the real reset, because it doesn't ask us to rely on willpower the way New Year's resolutions do. In this episode, Jodie walks through why the September feeling never actually leaves us, even once nobody's handing us a new school year anymore. She shares the three questions she asks herself every fall (who do you want to be, what do you want to learn, what scares you most), introduces her Dululu Wednesdays challenge, and breaks down exactly how to back into a holiday collection release before the season gets away from you. She also shares something personal: this is the last episode of Season 7, and she's got news about what's coming in Season 8, including a new version of ArtBiz for Rebels that was built to give artists their time back!!

Andy Crestodina has asked more than a thousand content marketers the same questions every year since 2014, which makes him the only person holding a twelve-year record of whether content marketing works. This year's answers are the worst he has ever published.   Only 13.9% of marketers report strong results from their blog, down from a range of 20% to 30% that held for nine straight years. Another 18.9% say they no longer know whether their blog works at all.   What makes it stranger is everything that happened alongside it. Posts got 115 words shorter. Time spent per post fell by 50 minutes. And 92.4% of marketers adopted AI, which his data shows correlates with no improvement whatsoever.   Andy joins Sandy Carter to explain what is actually driving the decline, which tactics still outperform, and why marketers are abandoning those exact tactics. Influencer collaboration runs at 2.6 times the benchmark and adoption dropped 22%. Guest blogging fell 29% in the same year AI systems started deciding which sources to cite.   The episode closes with a round called Dead or Alive, where Sandy names a content tactic and Andy has to rule on it using his own numbers.   Andy Crestodina is co-founder and Chief Marketing Officer of Orbit Media Studios and the author of Content Chemistry, now in its seventh edition.   Read the full 2026 report: https://www.orbitmedia.com/blog/blogging-statistics/ Connect with Andy: https://www.linkedin.com/in/andycrestodina/   YouTube   Title: How to Lose Readers and Influence Nobody | Andy Crestodina on the Worst Year in Blogging Data   Description:   92.4% of marketers now use AI for content.

I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business. You need to be a good business owner who hires good painters. Most contractors never make that switch. We help them make it.What I'm focused on right now: AI and systems. We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator.

Getting a buyer interested in our solution is only the beginning of a B2B sale. In many organisations — and particularly in Japan — the person sitting across from us may have very little authority to make the final decision. Instead, we need that person to become our internal champion. They have to take our idea back into their organisation, explain it, defend it, overcome resistance and put their own reputation behind recommending us. That creates an important responsibility for salespeople. We are not merely asking someone to help us win a deal. We are asking them to take a professional risk on our behalf. What is an internal champion in B2B sales? An internal champion is someone inside the buyer organisation who believes in your solution strongly enough to advocate for it when you are not in the room. Usually, we meet our initial contact through a cold call, referral or networking. We explain what we do, perhaps mention another client we have helped and then ask permission to explore their situation. If we are doing professional consultative selling, we ask questions and go deeply into the issues facing the organisation. Eventually, we start suggesting solutions matched to those needs. That is often when reality appears. Our contact may be enthusiastic about solving the problem but discover that managers, executives, Finance, Procurement or other divisions are not nearly as enthusiastic. We cannot personally attend every internal conversation. Our contact therefore becomes our representative. They have to carry the sale forward for us. Do now: Identify who inside the client genuinely wants the change to happen. Interest alone isn't enough — you need someone willing to advocate internally. Why are internal champions particularly important when selling in Japan? Japanese corporate buying often involves multiple stakeholders, so the salesperson's original contact may be only one participant in a much larger decision-making process. In traditional Japanese organisations, a proposal can move through several layers of internal review. Divisions affected by the purchase may conduct their own due diligence. Section Heads may approve the proposal before it moves to Division Heads. Depending on the scale and nature of the decision, senior executives may then become involved. The traditional ringi process illustrates why internal consensus matters so much in Japan. That can mean a tremendous number of people are involved. Meanwhile, we may only know one of them. The person sitting opposite us may not even have final approval authority, yet we depend upon them to help navigate the proposal through the organisation. This is why Japanese B2B selling cannot simply be about persuading one individual. We need to help that individual persuade everyone else. Do now: Ask, "Who else will be involved in evaluating or approving this decision?" Then help your champion prepare for each stakeholder's concerns. What risk does an internal champion take when recommending a supplier? Your champion puts their credibility and sometimes their career reputation behind your solution, because if your company fails, they may be blamed for recommending you. This is something salespeople can easily underestimate. We naturally think about our own risk. Will we win the contract? Will we achieve our sales target? Will we earn the commission? The buyer's champion is considering something completely different. "If I recommend these people and it goes badly, what happens to me?" Their colleagues are unlikely to say, "Well, that supplier made an unfortunate operational decision." They may say: "Why did you choose them?" That makes trust central to the sale. Our champion has to believe we are credible, reliable and capable of delivering what we promise. They also need confidence that supporting us won't make them look foolish in front of senior management. When viewed from their perspective, choosing a new supplier can be a significant personal risk. Do now: Before asking a champion to advocate for you, ask yourself, "What professional risk am I asking this person to accept?" What can go wrong when a salesperson fails to protect the champion? If the supplier fails after an internal champion has fought to get the deal approved, the damage can extend far beyond the contract — it can damage the champion's standing inside the organisation. I learned this lesson painfully while selling imported mobile telephone antenna steel towers in Japan. The towers were sourced from Australia, and we could install them for around 30% of the price being offered by local suppliers. Imported towers were new, however, so getting agreement wasn't straightforward. The buyer was a joint venture whose executives had come from several shareholder companies. Some arrived with relationships with preferred Japanese suppliers. My champions had to fight internally to get the Australian solution accepted. There was even resistance from the local supplier group, which reacted aggressively to the cheaper imported competition. Eventually, my champions got the deal through. Then things went wrong. The Australian supplier decided to move production to Malaysia to reduce costs. Quality problems followed. Eventually, the business collapsed. Do now: Winning internal approval isn't the finish line. Once your champion has backed you, delivery becomes part of protecting their reputation. Why does supplier failure damage the salesperson personally? From the champion's perspective, the salesperson represents the entire supplier organisation, so internal operational failures can become personal failures of trust. I hadn't personally made the decision to move production from Australia to Malaysia. That distinction didn't matter. To my champion, I was their guy. I had brought the supplier into the company. I had made the promises. They had trusted me enough to fight internally for the deal. Then the supplier let them down. The relationship was destroyed. They stopped talking to me, which I took as a very bad sign indeed. My name was mud. That experience taught me something important about mutual responsibility in selling. Salespeople sometimes think, "That problem came from Operations", "Head Office made the decision" or "Manufacturing caused the failure". The customer doesn't care about our organisational chart. Neither does our champion. We own the promises we make on behalf of our organisation. Do now: Never recommend something internally that you aren't confident your own organisation can deliver. Your credibility travels with the solution. How can salespeople help their champions win internally? The salesperson should make the champion's internal selling job easier by providing the arguments, evidence and risk reduction they need to persuade other decision-makers. Think about what your champion will face after you leave the meeting. Their boss may ask why the company should change. Finance may question the economics. Procurement may challenge the supplier. Users may worry about implementation. Senior leaders may ask what could go wrong. Your champion needs answers. We should therefore provide more than a proposal. Give them a clear business case. Provide relevant evidence. Explain implementation. Anticipate objections. Identify risks and explain how those risks will be managed. Make the recommendation easy for them to explain to other stakeholders. Most importantly, remain conscious that your champion is lending you something precious: their internal credibility. If the deal succeeds, you want them to look smart for having backed you. That is how long-term trusted-adviser relationships are built. Do now: Ask yourself, "What does my champion need to make this recommendation safely and convincingly when I'm not there?" What should salespeople remember about their internal champions? The sale isn't only about getting agreement from the organisation. It is about protecting the person helping us obtain that agreement. Find your champion. Build their trust. Understand the stakeholders they need to influence. Give them the evidence and arguments they need. Reduce the personal and organisational risk attached to choosing you. Then deliver what you promised. My steel-tower experience taught me this lesson the hard way. A champion who fights internally for us deserves much more than our gratitude. They deserve our protection. When we begin the sales process with that responsibility in mind, we make better decisions about what we promise, what we sell and how we deliver. And there is another benefit. Protecting our champion also protects our own personal brand and reputation in the marketplace.

Dr. Jonathan Thorp spent a career building systems, methods, and models that made work more functional. His mistake was assuming that creating the value was where the work stopped. Promoting it struck him as vanity, the opposite of humility, so he avoided doing it. Then he watched good work land as a non-event, including an incentive plan he redesigned for a client services group after finding the levers were connected to the wrong things. Results improved. People credited a lucky run of customer calls until someone explained what had actually changed. His reframe now is that promotion is the servant of mission, and that translating value is part of the work rather than an afterthought. That matters for any leader whose improvements get made and then quietly ignored. If nobody knows what you changed, they will attribute the result to something else. Jonathan is CEO of Quantum Connections in Dallas, a Naval Academy graduate in ocean engineering who spent 24 years as a naval aviator, and a former VP of organizational development at JPMorgan Chase. He has taught leadership and decision making at the Naval War College since 2010. We also cover the Quantum Connections 2026 American Dialogue Report, which found that 85 percent of Americans avoided at least one difficult conversation in the past 30 days, what naval aviation debriefs teach about candor, and why declaring psychological safety without evidence backfires.

For about a year, NYU mathematician Tristan Buckmaster and a researcher at Anthropic had been working on an obscure approach to one of the famous Clay Institute "millennium prize" problems (with $1 million on the line)—running their drafts through private OpenAI Codex sessions hosted on OpenAI's servers. When a step forward emerged (a result related to "blow-up" in the Euler equations of fluid dynamics), accusations flew that OpenAI's model had essentially "copied their homework"—learning from their private work and then producing the result itself. The host uses it to open up what he thinks is the defining debate of the era: when you collaborate with an AI, and it helps you reach an insight you genuinely pushed it toward, who owns the result? He walks through the emerging solutions—Alex Karp of Palantir's "put something in the middle" approach, versus self-hosting an open-source model behind your own servers with your own tuned "weights" so your inputs stay proprietary even as the world uses your outputs. He's candid that he's genuinely torn: as someone building his own project (Kaizen), he admits feeling the impulse to keep some paths secret for a six-month lead, while also arguing that since AI was trained on all of humanity, there's an obligation to keep letting it aggregate humanity's breakthroughs—especially in a field like medicine, where he shares a personal story about a family member's cancer and how siloed, firewalled medical data made coordination nearly impossible. His most provocative point is psychological: that the reason people aren't celebrating even a real (if modest) step forward is a raw human fear of being made to feel irrelevant—that "I can't let it be the AI that did this." He closes on his recurring throughline: rather than running to the government to regulate AI (which he thinks would hurt the open-source models that are the real check on Big AI), the open market and open source should be allowed to solve this—letting young upstarts protect their proprietary "weights" and compete, so a handful of giant companies can't hoard the breakthroughs.The team breaks down a sharp escalation in the Iran conflict and maps how it connects to a much bigger global picture. The immediate news: an intensifying tanker war in the Strait of Hormuz, with the IRGC claiming its largest attack of the war (striking multiple vessels and claiming hits on US destroyers), the US reportedly sinking eight Iranian oil tankers over four days, and Iran launching 20 ballistic missiles at a US base in Jordan—of which Jordan says 18 were intercepted and two hit empty desert, with no casualties reported. The host stresses a key caveat: with the IRGC claiming major damage and the Pentagon denying it, the truth is genuinely murky, and neither side's account should be taken at face value. He reads the "2-for-1" retaliation pattern and Rubio's "shoot at our ships and you lose tankers" posture as a deliberate US strategy of disproportionate response—while flagging the real risk that Iran is trying to bait the US into depleting munitions it may need for two other potential fights: a cornered, economically flailing Germany squaring off with a declining Russia, and the looming US-China collision. From there he lays out his central framework: that the US and China are two "wounded animals," both the largest economies, both feeling a narrow window, both pressing—China racing to divorce from the dollar (he floats his own contested theory that they may back the yuan with gold), reshore chip-making, and potentially move on Taiwan by 2027, because the deeper prize underneath everything is AI, and AI runs on chips. He argues energy undergirds the entire board, which is why the Strait, the Houthi attacks on Saudi oil infrastructure, OPEC fracturing, and the Venezuela play all matter, and offers his read on why the US actually entered Iran (securing GCC capital for the AI bet, under the banner of non-proliferation). He's candid about which parts are his interpretation, flags his gold-backed-yuan idea as highly contested, and lands on his recurring throughline: a multipolar world is coming, and the real question is what kind of "overlord" order the world ends up choosing—one you can vote out, or one you can't.The team connects a series of escalating global stories that the host argues are increasingly becoming one convergent conflict. First, Iran: the Revolutionary Guard reportedly fired hypersonic ballistic missiles at a US aircraft carrier and a guided-missile destroyer in the Strait of Hormuz—a dramatic escalation from base and drone attacks—with both ships evading and no Americans hurt, after which US forces struck and reportedly sank Iranian oil tankers. The host frames a country as most dangerous when it's weakest, and notes Bessent's argument that Iran is running out of the pre-purchased Chinese oil money keeping it afloat, meaning the coming months could get more dangerous before any off-ramp. Second, Europe: reports that Germany is moving toward direct conflict with Russia (closing Russian consulates, restricting entry after a drone incident), which could trigger NATO and pull in the US—complicated by the rise of Germany's AfD party (now reportedly the second-largest, around 23% to the leading party's ~30%), which has floated exiting the EU. Third, diplomacy: Witkoff and Kushner arriving to broker talks, with a reported 72-hour agreement between Putin and Zelensky not to strike each other's capitals (though front-line fighting continues and a broader ceasefire was rejected)—the host cautiously optimistic given their Abraham Accords track record, while noting their recent results have been thinner. Fourth, the US-Venezuela deal versus China, which claims its own competing, "internationally protected" interest there—prompting the host's blunt aside that "international law" is really just a function of who holds the most power. And finally, the bigger economic picture: a Nordic country reportedly selling ~$80B in US Treasuries, central banks buying gold in historic amounts (with gold reportedly overtaking US debt as the top reserve asset), and the resurfaced Ray Dalio warning about what happens when an empire has to start buying its own debt. The host's throughline: the US has a real opportunity—if it rebuilds a genuine moral center, restores fiscal discipline, and competes with China by being genuinely better for partner nations (Venezuela being the key test)—but the window is closing, and a multipolar world can deliver either the benefits of real competition or the dangers of everyone violently choosing sides.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

I'm the founder of Painter Growth, a coaching company that helps painting contractors build real businesses instead of just running jobs.We've worked with over 1,500 painting contractors. Our clients range from guys doing $300K a year to teams pushing past $5M. Our coaches are real painting business owners who built seven-figure companies themselves. Not theory guys.Here's how I got here.Early 20s: Running my own painting business. Couldn't close jobs. Underbidding everything. Painters showed up stoned. Spilled paint on driveways. Painted houses the wrong color. I fell off a ladder. Ended my first year with a $20,000 tax bill I couldn't pay.Still early 20s: Almost quit. Didn't. Got obsessed with systems, sales, and getting help. I hired my first business coach, fixed the chaos & hit over $200K a month in sales before I turned 24.Mid-20s: Followed my girlfriend (now wife) to a new city. Shut the painting business down. Took a job in SaaS. Spent five years helping grow a software company from scratch to nearly $10M a year. That's where I learned how to build and scale an online business.During COVID: My two worlds collided. Running a painting business plus scaling software companies. I launched a side hustle that pulled both together. It became Painter Growth.October 2021: Launched with an MVP and $10 a day in Facebook ads. No money. No clients. No connections.End of 2021: Signed my first 10 clients. Eight got massive results. That was all the proof I needed.Late 2022: Brought on Jesse, my partner and CFO. Hired our first coach and first VA. Reinvested everything back into the business.2023 and beyond: Built a team of nearly 50, including seven-figure painting business owners coaching full time.We became an official Sherwin-Williams partner and we're the exclusive coaching program referred by them.We we're named PCA 2026 Partner of the Year.You don't need to be a good painter to build a great painting business.

We're building AI-powered tools inside Painter Growth, including a bookkeeping assistant and a proposal generator. The contractors who figure this out early are going to pull ahead.I'm still building. Still figuring things out.

In this episode, I dive into my reaction to a thought-provoking video clip featuring Andrew Huberman and Steven Bartlett. The conversation focused on the way we shape our experience of reality, especially when it comes to questions of spirituality, religion, and the effects of altered states like psychedelics. One concept discussed was whether experiences like DMT trips or spiritual moments actually provide access to something beyond biology, or if they're simply the result of neurochemistry—something I feel very strongly about.A key theme that emerged was questioning the literal truth of religious experiences and miracles. I explored my skepticism about whether anything truly occurs outside the laws of biology and physics, emphasizing that our brains craft our perception of the world, and that even the most awe-inspiring or seemingly miraculous events can usually be traced back to processes within us. The discussion also touched on how religion and awe may be evolutionary tools for cooperation and meaning, rather than evidence of a higher power.Several points were raised, including the dangers of confusing emotional reactions for truth, the importance of understanding we're always having a biological experience, and the very real improvements people find in their lives when they adopt certain mindsets or practices like prayer or faith. Ultimately, this episode is an invitation to critically examine how we interpret our experiences—reminding listeners that while different mental frames can improve our lives, they are rooted in the biology that shapes everything we know and feel.Tailor Brands: Check out Tailor Brands to get started with your business today: https://bit.ly/TailorBrandsSeptQuince: Free shipping and 365-day returns at https://quince.com/impactpodElevenLabs: Book your demo at https://elevenlabs.io/impactpodIncogni: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Welcome to a pivotal episode of The Tom Bilyeu Show Live, recorded on September 11th—a day etched into American memory. In this episode, Tom tackles some of the most pressing and complex issues facing the nation and the world: from the escalating dangers in the Middle East and the precarious state of the global economy, to the relentless march of artificial intelligence and its ever-growing impact. Tom breaks down the unchecked government spending and populist promises threatening America's financial health, the real consequences of inflation and deficit spending, and how both political parties are fueling economic instability. He digs deep into the current crises in the Middle East, the vulnerabilities in global supply chains, and draws crucial lessons from both past and present—especially the enduring significance of 9/11. Tom also explores the latest developments in AI, the urgent need for responsible innovation, and the growing arms race with China.

What's up, everybody? Today, I am bringing you an absolutely critical episode with Connor Leahy, a leading voice in the world of artificial intelligence safety and the CEO of ControlAI. Connor is a computer scientist who has spent years at the forefront of AI research, grappling with the real and present risks facing humanity as this technology rapidly evolves. He has a bold and, frankly, chilling perspective: pursuing superintelligence could endanger us all.In this episode, Connor breaks down why AI isn't just another tool—it's something fundamentally different, and possibly the biggest adversary we've ever created. We dig into the game theory behind international AI development, why current regulations are falling short, and what would actually have to happen for us to avoid catastrophic risks.If you've ever wondered how close we are to a true point of no return, or what it would actually take to keep the future of humanity in our own hands, this is the episode you cannot afford to miss.I hope you learn as much from this convo as I did—Connor will challenge the way you think about progress, technology, and what it means to be wise in a world racing toward the unknown. If you get value from this, I'd be so grateful if you leave us a review. That's how we spread the word and help more people unlock their true potential.I'm Tom Bilyeu, and welcome to Impact Theory.What's up, everybody?

Step into this guided Reiki journey to clear intuitive blocks, release comparison, and reconnect with your authentic spiritual guidance. Travel across the Bridge of Light to the River of Life and the sacred Tree of Life to unify your divine mind, human self, and higher consciousness. Learn how to align your Perception Triad, head, heart, and gut, to receive clear, grounded direction for your next step. Key Insights Surrendering to the River of Life: The river moves effortlessly without needing to see the entire bend ahead. When you stop trying to control every outcome from the riverbank and step into the flow, Reiki dissolves the fear of making a mistake and opens the channel to receive. Clearing Old Stories at the Riverbanks: Intuitive blocks often stem from past disappointments, feeling inadequate compared to others, or demanding proof before trusting your inner knowing. Surrendering these expectations into the River of Life creates clean energetic space for your authentic voice to emerge. Unification at the Tree of Life: At the Tree of Life, heaven and earth meet, unifying your divine consciousness with your practical human reality. Spiritual guidance is not reserved for a select few; it is a grounded, learnable skill developed through consistent listening and everyday practice. The Perception Triad Integration: Returning to the physical realm requires anchoring guidance through the Perception Triad, asking what the head brain (practical logic), the heart brain (emotional truth), and the gut brain (instinct and soul memory) have to say about your next step. People Also Ask (FAQ) How do I practice automatic writing during a guided Reiki journey? Automatic writing involves holding a pen to paper after activating Reiki and allowing thoughts, words, or symbols to flow without editing or judgment. It allows your higher self and guides to communicate directly through your hand, bypassing analytical overthinking. What is the Perception Triad in spiritual practice? The Perception Triad is the alignment of your head, heart, and gut brains. Rather than bypassing logic or instinct, this framework integrates practical reason, emotional desire, and deep soul knowing into unified action. Why do I feel blocked from receiving spiritual guidance? Blocks usually arise from self-doubt, fear of being wrong, comparing yourself to others, or expecting guidance to look like dramatic visions. Guided journeys help wash away these false expectations and attune you to your natural clairsenses.

What's up, everybody? Today I'm hitting you with one of the wildest episodes we've ever done. We're diving deep into the OpenAI scandal that's been blowing up the internet and drawing in some of the top minds in math, tech, and artificial intelligence. In this episode, we cover everything from leaked breakthroughs on one of the world's toughest math problems—Navier-Stokes—to how your intellectual property could be at risk every time you use AI.We'll break down who really made the breakthrough: brilliant mathematician Tristan Buckmaster, or was it AI, or—most likely—the thrilling collision between human intuition and machine brute force? Plus we'll look at why this debate matters for the future of ownership, innovation, and literally your business or your health. You're going to walk away understanding how AI and human minds must work together, what the next wave of regulation could mean for YOU, and why this moment will redefine who gets credit and who gets paid.This is about way more than technology—this is about meaning, relevance, and how humanity adapts in the face of relentless acceleration. Strap in, because if you want to thrive in the age of AI, you can't afford to miss what we unpack in this episode.If you get value out of conversations like this, drop us a review and help us reach more people driven to unleash their potential.

Her scenario: a cyberattack on the banking system—whether real or manufactured—could let banks absolve themselves of blame for a crisis, consolidate power into a handful of "systemically important" institutions, and serve as a mechanism to onboard the public onto a new digital-currency paradigm. The chilling version: your money "disappears" in the hack, and you're told you can have the exact same amount back—but only in an approved digital dollar, stablecoin, or CBDC, with new conditions attached. You "voluntarily" accept the new system, but under extreme coercion. The host is careful and explicit throughout that this is Webb's thought experiment, not a claim she has evidence for—but he argues it's "distressingly plausible" given the real pressures on the system: mounting deficits, countries moving away from US debt, gold supplanting the dollar in central-bank reserves, Japan's yen troubles, and the Treasury's genuine push (via stablecoins) to create new appetite for US debt. He uses it as a launchpad for his central thesis: that fear is how free societies get talked into handing government ever more authoritarian control, that "there's always a danger on the horizon" to justify it, and that America should deliberately run the opposite experiment—putting freedom first and being willing to pay a price for it—because politicians are downstream of what the public rewards. The conversation also covers Mayorkas's "kill-where" cyber-threat warnings and a lengthy, deliberately even-handed tangent on Elon Musk—pushing back on the "he's just a government front" framing while flagging genuine conflict-of-interest concerns and arguing the real accountability target is bias in AI systems like Grok, which can be tested and measured.The team dives into the genuinely alarming frontier of AI security—starting with a vivid analogy: The Manchurian Candidate, the 1962 film about a sleeper agent who acts normal until a trigger phrase activates him. The host explains that this is no longer fiction for AI: a study from Anthropic's alignment team, conducted with the UK AI Security Institute and the Alan Turing Institute (described as the largest data-poisoning investigation ever), found you can plant a "backdoor" in a large language model with as few as ~250 malicious documents—and, crucially, that number appears to stay static even as models scale to billions of parameters. That means a hijack that everyone assumed would require nation-state-level control of training data can be pulled off by planting a tiny fraction (~0.00016%) of the data, simply by seeding it on the open internet where models scrape their training material. He walks through why this is so dangerous, then details a real-world attack tracked by security firm Huntress: a "malvertising" campaign ("Fake Agent") that exploited the fact that users can publish their own pages on the Claude AI platform, letting attackers serve what looked like an official Claude desktop download that actually delivered a password-stealing remote-access trojan—reportedly compromising 29 organizations in two days and pulling the fake page ~7,100 times before it was caught. From there the conversation widens into the hard strategic picture: that AI is a genuine, present-day advantage (his own team replicated 60% of a game's functionality with a non-programmer and a handful of tokens), that pulling back out of fear just lets adversaries like China race ahead, that the US risks falling behind on the energy and manufacturing needed to compete, and that the only sane path is to clearly delineate "weapons-grade" AI from civilian AI—regulating the former like nuclear material while refusing to throw the baby out with the bathwater. He closes on how to actually use AI well: not as a novice extracting answers, but as a thought partner you steer from first principles.The team breaks down what the host calls a potentially dangerous rewriting of the entire global economic system—starting with the bloodbath in Japan, where the stock market reportedly shed a massive sum and the 10-year government bond yield hit 3% for the first time since 1996. He explains the mechanism most people miss: for decades, Japan held its interest rates artificially low with no inflation, creating the "yen carry trade"—investors borrowing cheaply in yen to buy higher-yielding assets worldwide, a hidden force that's quietly propped up global markets. Now that Japan finally has inflation, it can't defend those low rates or its weakening yen, and Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent—speaking from the G20—has been publicly pressuring the Bank of Japan to hike, telling CNBC he has information the market doesn't and that Japan will move toward a stronger yen. The host argues that unwinding the carry trade could force a global contraction, hitting anyone invested in markets or even just earning a wage, as investors sell assets to pile back into yen. He digs into why Japan is so exposed—it owns over 50% of its own debt, a reckless situation as rates climb—and explains "zombie companies" that only survive because borrowing is nearly free. Then he draws the uncomfortable parallel: the US, at roughly 130% debt-to-GDP and about to become the "buyer of last resort" for its own debt via the Treasury, is heading somewhere similar, with the central question being whether AI can generate enough real growth to outrun the debt before it implodes. The back half turns constructive: the host lays out what he sees as the only viable path—embracing AI rather than fighting it, building data centers "the right way" (crediting Ryan's approach of threading the needle so they're net-positive for the towns they're in), defining the line between "weapons-grade" and civilian AI, teaching people to use AI as a tool that empowers rather than dulls them, making real demands of an education system judged by its outputs, and letting students discharge loans in bankruptcy. A dense, sobering, but ultimately hopeful map of a genuinely precarious moment.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
