Podcasts about right questions

In this episode, Lisa answers questions from the Clarity community about transition, trust, and how to move toward what is next without neglecting what is now. She talks about the liminal phase, the space between where you were and where you are going and explains why this season requires curiosity, surrender, and honest stewardship of your time, energy, relationships, and responsibilities. She also breaks down the difference between time management and task management. Time management happens after you say yes. Task management happens before the yes, when you decide whether you actually have the capacity to take something on. Lisa assures us that we are not always bad decision makers. Sometimes we make the right main decision, then struggle with the details because we are trying to figure everything out alone. Tune in if you feel caught between your current life and your next assignment. This episode will help you slow down, trust yourself again, and move forward with more clarity.   MENTIONED 94 | How I Developed Above Average (Extraordinary) Patience in my Health and Business 141 The Science of Staying Calm: How to Manage Stress by Asking the Right Questions    READY TO GET TO THE ROOT OF YOUR STRESS?

What does hope look like for the United Methodist Church after years of disruption, decline, and change?In this episode of Pod Have Mercy, John and Matt sit down with Dr. Lovett H. Weems, one of the leading voices in church leadership and United Methodist life, for a wide-ranging conversation about where the church has been and where it might be headed next.Drawing from his newest book, "An Aura of Hope: United Methodism's Next Chapter in the United States," Dr. Weems discusses why hope is not dependent on favorable circumstances, what current trends and demographics reveal about the future of the church, and why congregations must begin by paying attention to "the people God has given us."The conversation explores the changing geography of Methodism, the importance of reaching beyond the walls of the church, what churches can learn from congregations that are successfully reaching new people, and why leadership is less about imposing a vision than helping God's people discern their next faithful step.They also discuss the future of the United Methodist Church following disaffiliation, the denomination's new regionalization model, church governance, and what it means for churches to serve not simply their members, but the common good of the communities around them.Dr. Lovett H. Weems is Distinguished Professor of Church Leadership Emeritus at Wesley Theological Seminary and senior consultant at the Lewis Center for Church Leadership, which he founded in 2003. Previously, he served for 18 years as president of Saint Paul School of Theology and spent many years as a local church pastor in Mississippi.He is the author or co-author of numerous books on church leadership, including "An Aura of Hope," "The Right Questions for Church Leaders," "Church Leadership: Vision, Team, Culture, and Integrity," "Sustaining While Disrupting," and, with Bishop Tom Berlin, "Bearing Fruit," "Overflow," and "High Yield."Resources mentioned in this episode:An Aura of Hope: United Methodism's Next Chapter in the United StatesUnited Methodist Focus, Dr. Weems's newsletter on the future of the United Methodist ChurchLewis Center for Church Leadership at Wesley Theological Seminary

Chi Mei Medical Center Stroke Center director Dr Hsieh Meng-Tsang says clinical AI should not just flag problems but also suggest meaningful actions.

Episode web page: https://bit.ly/4qpHthC Episode summary: In this episode of Insights Unlocked, Lija Hogan chats with Nick Cawthon, founder of Gauge and a veteran UX researcher, designer, and strategist, about what happens to UX research when AI makes it dramatically faster and easier to build digital experiences. Nick explains why speed alone isn't a competitive advantage. As AI accelerates prototyping and product development, teams need the humility to test, iterate, and make sure they're solving the right problems—not simply moving faster in the wrong direction. That makes human insight and strategic research more important, not less. The conversation explores where AI can create meaningful efficiencies in research, from transcription and tagging to indexing qualitative data, and where Nick believes humans should remain firmly in the loop. He also shares how researchers can make insights more accessible across an organization, demonstrate their connection to business outcomes, and evolve from gatekeepers of research into educators and strategic partners. Finally, Nick offers advice for researchers thinking about the future of their profession: learn the new tools, invest in human connection, and make yourself indispensable by becoming the connective tissue between customers, product teams, designers, engineers, and business leaders. You'll learn: Why faster product development makes human insight even more important How AI can help teams prototype, test, and iterate at greater speed Where AI can eliminate tedious research work—and where human connection still matters Why researchers need to look beyond tactical usability questions to the broader customer experience How research repositories can make customer insights more accessible to leaders and teams Ways UX researchers can connect their work to business outcomes and product metrics Why human connection and cross-functional influence can help researchers future-proof their careers Resources & links Nick Cawthon on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickcawthon-ux-digital-agency-product-design-leadership/ Gauge: http://Gauge.io Nick Cawthon's website: http://nickcawthon.com/ Lija Hogan on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lija-hogan-894769/ Learn more about Insights Unlocked: https://www.usertesting.com/podcast

Feeling stuck in a job that drains you, stretched thin by responsibilities, or caught in relationships that leave you exhausted? In this episode, Lisa names the pressure that builds when you feel trapped and start believing you have no real options. She explains how chronic stress often grows when we feel backed into a corner by work, family, money, caregiving, relationships, or the fear of making the wrong move. Lisa introduces the Law of Requisite Variety from the science of systems and control. The principle says that the person with the most flexibility and options has the greatest ability to influence outcomes. In real life, that means if you are facing ten challenges but only have one way of responding, the stress will keep having more power than you do. Tune in to start moving from feeling stuck to asking the questions that can open a new path forward. MENTIONED 76 Here's how I disowned average and adopted a spirit of excellence!

How do you choose the right OB-GYN before you're pregnant? Whether you're trying to conceive naturally, planning IVF, or already thinking about starting a family, choosing the right obstetrician is one of the most important decisions you'll make. In this episode, you'll learn the questions to ask, when to start looking for an OB-GYN, how to advocate for yourself throughout pregnancy, and what makes pregnancy care different for IVF patients. In this episode, I'm joined by one my favorite OB-GYNs, Dr. Justin Thompson, to talk about his journey into obstetrics and what every patient should know before choosing the doctor who will care for them during pregnancy and delivery. Justin and I dig into what it really takes to find the right obstetrician (spoiler: don't wait until you're pregnant!), how he creates a safe and positive birth experience, the unique considerations for patients who conceived through IVF, and why patient experience should be a bigger priority in healthcare. We also discuss physician burnout, the future of obstetrics, and practical ways to advocate for yourself and your growing family. If you're planning a pregnancy, going through IVF, or simply want to make informed decisions about your pregnancy care, this episode is packed with practical advice. ✅️In this episode, we cover: - Why you should start looking for an OB-GYN before you're even pregnant - Questions to ask when interviewing potential obstetricians - Why "meet and greet" appointments have disappeared and how to get one anyway - How Dr. Thompson limits his patient load to provide better care - What makes a birth experience safe, positive, and low-stress for both mom and baby - The "Sparkle checklist" and other ways patients can advocate for themselves - Special considerations for IVF pregnancies vs. non-IVF pregnancies - The future of obstetrics and why patient experience needs to be prioritized

A clicking jaw joint may not hurt, but pain alone does not reveal whether the joint is healthy, stable, or affecting growth and occlusion. In this episode, Kirk Behrendt speaks with Dr. Jim McKee, a restorative dentist and educator, about evaluating clicking joints from a structural and orthopedic perspective. You will learn how the articular disc supports condylar position, mandibular and maxillary growth, vertical dimension, bone protection, and load distribution, as well as why patient age, malocclusion, and joint anatomy should guide diagnosis. To understand why dentists need to ask better questions about clicking joints, listen to Episode 1067 of The Best Practices Show!Main Takeaways:The articular disc acts like a gasket that positions the condyle three-dimensionally and supports a repeatable bite.A displaced disc can affect mandibular and maxillary growth even when the patient does not report pain.Malocclusion can be an early clinical indicator of structurally altered temporomandibular joints.Changes in vertical dimension at the joint level can contribute to excessive loading and breakdown of terminal posterior teeth.MRI and CBCT provide information about soft-tissue and hard-tissue joint anatomy that cannot be determined from symptoms alone.Appliances can redistribute load and support adaptation, but they cannot guarantee that every structurally altered joint will adapt.An asymptomatic clicking joint in a stable adult should be evaluated differently from an asymptomatic clicking joint in a growing patient with malocclusion.Snippets:00:00 Intro02:28 Why pain may be a late-stage indicator of a joint problem.04:31 What a clicking disc may be unable to do compared with a normal disc.08:12 Why teeth are only one part of the occlusal system.10:27 How the disc supports mandibular growth.15:12 How disc displacement may affect maxillary growth.19:35 Why joint diagnosis matters before orthodontic treatment.22:54 Understanding vertical dimension at the joint level.26:44 How the disc protects bone and distributes load.29:42 Using malocclusion to identify patients who may need joint evaluation.36:05 How patient age and occlusal stability change the clinical significance of clicking.38:19 Educational resources for learning joint diagnosis and restorative treatment planning.44:27 Final Takeaways Guest Bio/Guest Resources:Dr. Jim McKee is a restorative dentist and educator focused on occlusion, TMD, and restorative diagnosis. He is a member of the Spear Resident Faculty.

Whether you're in your first semester or prepping for boards, this episode will help you understand how and why a thorough medical history sets the tone for safe, ethical, and effective patient care.We explore the mindset shift from “I'm just gathering information” to “I'm assessing systemic risk, oral implications, and necessary modifications.” You'll hear practical examples, common student mistakes, and the clinical reasoning behind the questions you ask every day.If you've ever felt unsure about what to ask, what matters, or how to connect the dots between systemic health and oral health, this episode will build your confidence and sharpen your clinical judgment.Why the medical history is a clinical tool, not a form to completeHow systemic diseases influence oral conditions and treatment planningThe medications you should always pay attention to — and whyRed flags that require faculty consultation or medical clearanceHow to ask follow‑up questions without feeling awkward or intrusiveThe mindset shift from “student interviewer” to “healthcare provider”How the medical history ties directly into ADPIED and risk assessmentReal‑world examples of how medical conditions change your care planA strong medical history protects your patient, and protects youYou're not just collecting data; you're interpreting itEvery condition or medication has a potential oral implicationWhen in doubt, ask more questions, curiosity is clinical excellenceYour confidence grows when your understanding deepensAlways connect: condition → medication → oral implication → modificationAnticoagulants, bisphosphonates, and diabetes deserve extra attention“Tell me more about that” is your best follow‑up questionNever assume the patient understands their own condition, clarify gentlyDocument everything clearly and objectively

Summary: In this episode of the Ops Experts Club podcast, Aaron Hovivian and Terryn Turner discuss the importance of evaluating your team, auditing workflows, and asking the right operational questions before automatically assuming growth requires more hiring. Using examples from real businesses and clients, they explore how fast-moving companies can slowly drift into inefficient habits, outdated systems, and unnecessary labor costs simply because nobody has stopped to reassess how people are spending their time. From labor allocation and profitability to workflow optimization and operational blind spots, the conversation highlights why regular business audits are essential for sustainable growth. Aaron and Terryn also dive into the growing role of AI and automation inside operations. They share practical examples of how businesses are using automations, AI tools, APIs, and custom workflows to eliminate repetitive tasks, improve reporting, streamline customer management, and elevate team performance. Whether you're running an online business, managing a growing team, or simply feeling overwhelmed by operational complexity, this episode offers actionable insights on how to identify inefficiencies, better utilize your people, and create systems that scale more effectively.

AI, Spiritual Deception & Learning to Ask God the Right Questions | KIB 533 Kingdom Intelligence Briefing Description Are we asking God the wrong questions in this generation? In Episode 533 of the Kingdom Intelligence Briefing, Dr. Michael and Mary Lou Lake examine the growing spiritual deception surrounding AI, data centers, propaganda, counterfeit spirituality, and the coming pressures of Mystery Babylon. This powerful briefing challenges believers to move beyond shallow Christianity and learn how to seek the Kingdom of God with discernment, covenant faithfulness, and spiritual maturity. Dr. Lake explores how believers have often been trained to pursue comfort, prosperity, and escape rather than asking God how to walk in Kingdom purpose, holiness, discernment, and spiritual authority in the last days. Mary Lou shares urgent insights regarding spiritual warfare, mind control technologies, AI systems, occult influences, and the need for believers to trust fully in God's protection and covenant promises. This episode is a wake-up call for the Remnant: • Learn to discern truth in an age of deception • Understand the spiritual dangers behind counterfeit systems • Discover the power of asking God the right questions • Learn how the Holy Spirit develops true Kingdom maturity • Be encouraged that God's power has not diminished The days ahead will require discernment, covenant fidelity, spiritual endurance, and unwavering trust in the Most High God. "Teach me what to ask, Lord." ━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Most business owners leave their planning meetings feeling good about the conversation. But if nobody follows through on what was discussed — and nobody knows who is supposed to — the whole year gets wasted. In this episode, Andrew Rafal and Brian Hartstein pick up where they left off in Episode 123, going deeper into the Tax Corner of the Four Corners of Business Owner Planning. This time it is about the roadmap — the specific planning areas every business owner should be asking their advisory team about, and the real-world examples that show what happens when those questions go unasked. Brian walks through multiple entity planning, entity type analysis, benefit plan design, and the compliance details that quietly cost business owners money every year. From C corp versus S corp decisions to 401(k) eligibility mistakes to the 2026 Roth catch-up rule — this episode is where the strategy gets real. In this podcast interview, you'll learn: The difference between design and structure in business planning How multiple entity planning works and who the rules apply to Why the building your business owns could be a liability and a missed opportunity What non-qualified plans are and when they make sense How a wrong eligibility setting in your 401(k) is costing you money right now The 2026 Roth catch-up rule and what business owners need to do before it is too late Find All Episode Resources Here - www.bayntree.com/124 Download your copy of The Entrepreneur's Financial Planning Checklist

Miranda Humphries has spent her entire career inside payroll. Not on the edges of it, not adjacent to it, but deep inside the complexity, the pressure, and the transformation of it. And along the way, she learned something most organizations only discover too late. The vendor is rarely the problem. The process that chose them is.In this episode of @thepayrollpodcast, Nick Day, CEO of JGA Recruitment, sits down with Miranda Humphries, experienced global payroll leader and transformation specialist, to go deep on the one phase of payroll transformation that is most often rushed, most often misaligned, and most often responsible for implementations that fail before they even begin. The RFP process.This is not just a conversation about vendor selection. It is a conversation about what it really takes to make the right decision for your business. Miranda and Nick explore the full spectrum of procurement tools from direct award to RFI to RFP, why the RFI is one of the most underutilized tools in the payroll space, how to build questions that actually drive decisions, why hidden costs in your current vendor contract can completely distort your comparisons, and why no payroll leader should ever run this process alone.It is not just about finding the best vendor.It is about finding the right one for your business.And if your organization has ever gone live with a new system only to find the problems were already baked in, this episode will show you exactly where it went wrong and how to make sure it never happens again.Whether you are a payroll leader preparing to go to market, an HR or finance stakeholder being pulled into a vendor selection process, or a transformation professional who wants to understand what a truly rigorous RFP looks like from the inside, this episode is essential listening.This episode is sponsored by DeelManaging a global team is complex, Deel makes it simpler with payroll, HR, IT, and compliance all in one place.

A talk by Thanissaro Bhikkhu entitled "Right Questions in the Right Order"

Hello and welcome to Episode 324 of The People Powered Business Podcast.Are your interviews actually helping you hire the right person… or are you accidentally feeding candidates the exact answers you want to hear?If you've ever walked away from an interview thinking someone was perfect, only to realise a few weeks later they were all talk and no substance, you're definitely not alone. So many small business owners feel awkward or unsure in interviews, and that often leads to hiring decisions based on gut feel alone, instead of the right information.I keep seeing business owners make the same mistakes in interviews. They spend the first five minutes explaining the role, the business and exactly what they're looking for, which makes it incredibly easy for candidates to mirror back the “perfect” answers. The reality is, interviewing is still one of the most important hiring tools you have in your business, and learning how to ask better questions can completely change the quality of people you bring into your team.In this episode, I'm breaking down the three critical types of interview questions every small business owner should be using in their hiring process. I share why behavioural interview questions are so powerful, how to spot red flags in vague answers, and why understanding someone's work style and values matters just as much as their experience on paper.I also talk about what to do after the interview, including the notes you should be taking immediately while your instincts and observations are still fresh. If you've ever struggled with recruitment, staff fit, or making confident hiring decisions, this episode will help you interview with far more clarity and confidence.In this episode we cover: The biggest mistakes business owners make in interviews Why behavioural interview questions reveal more honest answers How to identify work style mismatches before making a hire The subtle clues that show whether someone will fit your team culture What notes to take after an interview to make better hiring decisionsLinks & Resources:Join People Powered HR:https://www.peoplepoweredbusiness.com.au/pphrDM me on Instagram @kristy.lee.billettConnect with me on LinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/kristyleebillett/Email me at hello@peoplepoweredbusiness.com.auBook a 15-minute clarity call:https://calendly.com/kristyleebillett/chat What this episode coversHiring the wrong person is expensive, frustrating and exhausting for small business owners, especially when the interview felt like it went well at the time. This episode explains how to ask interview questions that uncover real behaviours, work styles and values, rather than rehearsed answers designed to impress.Small business owners will learn how to run more effective interviews, spot red flags earlier, and make hiring decisions with greater confidence. The episode also explores why relying too heavily on resumes and experience can lead to poor recruitment outcomes.Key insight from this episodeThe quality of your interview questions directly impacts the quality of your hiring decisions. When candidates are asked to explain real past experiences and practical work preferences, it becomes much harder for them to simply tell you what you want to hear, and much easier for you to assess genuine fit and capability.What you'll take away How to structure interviews so candidates reveal genuine behaviours and experiences The difference between practical, behavioural and culture-fit interview questions What vague interview answers can signal about a candidate's experience or honesty How to identify whether someone's preferred work style aligns with the role Why post-interview notes and gut instinct both matter in the recruitment process

Do you want to move from just reading the Bible to truly understanding and "digging" into its depths?In this opening session of the Rooted Conference, Pastor Daniel Batarseh shares the foundational "Tool Belt" for deeper Bible study. This isn't just a session on how to teach; it's a practical workshop on how to study the Word of God for yourself, so that the word of Christ can "dwell in you richly" (Colossians 3: 16).In this session, you will learn:The Goal of Study: Understanding Bible study as a critical part of the Great Commission and personal discipleship.Reading Systematically Why reading from Genesis to Revelation is essential for creating a "mental map" of Scripture.The Power of Thinking: Why revelation comes to "thinkers," not just readers, and how to meditate on what you read.Asking the Right Questions: 8 specific questions to ask any text to unlock its original meaning and modern application.The Compatibility Principle: How to use clear passages to interpret unclear ones and the importance of parallel passages.The Art of Observation: Paying attention to details like time markers, locations, and repetition (the Bible's internal highlighter).Pastor Daniel also leads a live "homework" session using Genesis 18, demonstrating how to apply these tools to see the beauty of God's character in the details of the text.

For a lot of people, the idea of negotiating feels uncomfortable—something to avoid if possible. It can feel confrontational, awkward, or even risky. But what if negotiating didn't have to be that way? What if it wasn't about pushing harder or being more aggressive—but simply about asking better questions? It turns out that the most effective negotiators don't rely on pressure or persuasion nearly as much as you might think. Instead, they guide conversations in a way that uncovers what really matters to the other person—and to themselves. And that shift can completely change the outcome. Alexandra Carter, Clinical Professor of Law and Director of the Mediation Clinic at Columbia Law School, has spent years teaching people how to negotiate more effectively. In her book Ask for More: 10 Questions to Negotiate Anything (https://amzn.to/2T6WaY8), she outlines a simple but powerful framework built around asking the right questions at the right time. In our conversation, she explains how this approach works, why it's often more effective than traditional negotiating tactics, and how you can use it in everyday situations—from work conversations to personal decisions—without feeling uncomfortable or confrontational.

Richa Kaul breaks down the AI risk landscape for enterprises, and argues that the key to managing all of them is resisting the urge to sensationalize. Kaul offers a candid assessment of where enterprise AI governance committees are falling short, noting that many  lack the technical fluency to ask vendors the right questions, such as where customer data goes, whether it trains other clients' models, and what specific steps reduce hallucination. She suggests that market-driven security standards like SOC-2 and ISO 27001 often matter more in practice than government regulation, creating a "beautiful ecosystem" where risk management runs ahead of the law. Looking forward, she addresses the growing challenge of agentic AI systems that make decisions autonomously, offering a deceptively simple prescription: Map every action an agent can take, know where your highest risk sits, identify the critical decision points, and demand human sign-off at each one/ Richa Kaul is the founder and CEO of Complyance, an AI-native enterprise governance, risk, and compliance (GRC) platform. Before founding Complyance, she was Chief Strategy Officer at ContractPodAi, a legal technology company, and previously served as Managing Director at the Virginia Economic Development Partnership and as a management consultant at McKinsey.

Reporter Audrey Streb discusses joining the White House press pool for The Lion, aiming to ask energy-focused questions. Drawing on her work at the Daily Caller News Foundation, she argues corporate media fuels “climate doomsday” coverage by spotlighting supportive studies and ignoring contrary ones, and she outlines tactics like calling out bad data, highlighting underplayed leads, and framing stories for readers. She cites reporting on retracted climate research, sea-level findings, China's coal use and its comments on EPA rule rollbacks, and national-security risks from Chinese solar inverters. Her questioning of EPA Administrator Zeldin helped spur Sen. Cynthia Lummis' bill to block foreign adversaries from commenting on U.S. rulemaking.

The S-Corp question is one of the most common Brian hears from entrepreneurs, but the answer is almost never as simple as the internet makes it sound. In this episode, Brian Thompson breaks down what an S-Corp actually is, how the potential tax savings work, and the real-world trade-offs that often get left out of the conversation. Whether you're considering the election for the first time or revisiting the decision, this episode gives you the context you need to make an informed choice.   What is an S-Corp? First, an important clarification: an S-Corporation is not a business structure, it's a tax election. Your business might legally be an LLC or a partnership, but you elect to have the IRS tax it under Subchapter S of the tax code. That election allows business income to pass through to the owner's personal tax return rather than being taxed at the corporate level. The key difference for most small businesses comes down to how payroll and self-employment taxes are handled.   How Do S-Corps Save on Taxes? When you run a business as a sole proprietor or single-member LLC, your net profits are generally subject to self-employment tax of 15.3%, which covers Social Security and Medicare. With an S-Corp election, you pay yourself a reasonable salary (which is subject to payroll taxes) but any profits above that salary can be taken as distributions, which are generally not subject to self-employment tax.  A straightforward example: on $200,000 in net profit, splitting it evenly between salary and distributions could save roughly $15,000 in payroll taxes. That's the number people are chasing when they talk about S-Corps.   S-Corps Trade-offs The savings aren't guaranteed, and there are two major caveats. First, reasonable compensation. The IRS requires S-Corp owners who work in the business to pay themselves a reasonable salary before taking distributions. Reasonableness evaluation is based on your experience, role, time devoted to the business, and what comparable professionals earn. For service-based businesses where the owner is the primary revenue generator, this requirement can significantly limit how much income can realistically be treated as distributions.  Second, administrative costs. Running an S-Corp means running payroll for yourself, filing a separate S-Corp tax return, issuing a K-1, maintaining better corporate records, and typically paying more for accounting and tax preparation. For some businesses the extra steps are worth it. For others, the time and cost eat too much into the savings.   State and Local Tax Considerations for S-Corps For many entrepreneurs, particularly those in cities where a large share of LGBTQ business owners live, state and local taxes add another layer of complexity. Brian breaks down the specifics: Illinois S-Corps pay a 1.5% personal replacement tax; California S-Corps pay 1.5% on net income with an $800 minimum franchise tax; New York State imposes a fixed dollar minimum tax based on gross receipts; and New York City doesn't recognize the federal S-Corp election at all, meaning city-level corporate taxes of up to 8.85% can still apply. Washington DC has its own franchise tax currently at 8.25%. If you operate in Chicago, LA, San Francisco, New York, or DC, these rules need to be part of your analysis.   The PTET Opportunity Despite the complications, Brian is clear: he recommends S-Corps for many clients when the numbers make sense. And there's an additional tool worth knowing about — the pass-through entity tax, or PTET. Created in response to the federal SALT cap, which limited state and local tax deductions on individual returns to $10,000, the PTET election allows the business itself to pay state income tax at the entity level, where it can often be fully deductible for federal purposes. The SALT cap increased to $40,000 in 2025, which reduces the urgency of this workaround for some. But for higher income business owners, PTET can still create meaningful additional savings on top of the payroll tax benefits.   The Right Questions to Ask About S-Corps Instead of asking "should I become an S-Corp?", Brian reframes the question: Does an S-Corp make sense for my business? The considerations that matter include what type of business you run, how much profit you actually generate, whether revenue is produced primarily by you or a broader team, your willingness to handle the administrative requirements, the state and city tax rules where you operate, and how the decision fits into your broader tax and retirement planning. You also don't have to decide on day one. Many entrepreneurs start under simple tax treatment and elect S-Corp status once the business becomes profitable enough for it to make sense.   Your Action Step This week, take three steps: look at your most recent business profit, estimate what a reasonable salary might look like for your role, and have a conversation with your tax advisor or financial planner about whether the numbers actually work in your specific situation. Your tax strategy should support your business strategy, not the other way around. The S-Corp election can be a powerful tool for the right business, but like most things in tax planning, context is everything. If you have any questions about S-Corps, reach out to Brian to see what your options are.   Resources + Links Newsletter Sign Up Follow Brian Thompson Online: Instagram, Facebook, LinkedIn, X, Forbes Follow & review the podcast: on Spotify and Apple Podcasts   About Brian and the Mission Driven Business Podcast Brian Thompson, JD/CFP®, is a tax attorney and Certified Financial Planner® who specializes in providing comprehensive financial planning to LGBTQ+ entrepreneurs who run mission-driven businesses.

In this special episode, Nick is joined by returning guest Josh Thiel (CEO/President, Fourth Offset—defense tech firm advancing AI for maneuver warfare and innovation) and Ray Meiring (CEO, QorusDocs—AI-powered platform for proposals, RFPs, and value storytelling) to dive deep into the real value of AI. Is it truly transforming productivity, or are the costs—in power, water, resources, and society—too high? They unpack practical wins like AI as your instant research assistant, analyzing years of call data in minutes, preserving SME time, personalizing proposals, and reducing weekend-crushing RFP grinds. They also tackle the big questions: ROI that's hard to measure (temporal gains for future generations, human happiness, innovating out of environmental problems), data privacy dangers, the arms race inertia, and why humans still own the "why" questions. Whether you're in GovCon, sales, defense, or just curious about AI's trajectory, this conversation challenges assumptions and highlights the balance between progress and price.

The word is spreading through the education community that a new kind of artificial intelligence enables students to complete an entire course with a single prompt. As one educator explained, with just a simple setup, a student can put an entire course on autopilot and go back to playing video games. It's called Agentic AI, and it has sparked a new round of handwringing and calls to go back to blue books and pencils. To kick off 2026, the creators of SAMR, TPACK, Triple E, SETI, and the Gen AI U frameworks met to unravel how this technology may impact teaching, learning, and the future of proving that a student's degree or credential actually indicates competence. The big takeaway is that the solutions start with asking the right questions.

A morning meditation with Wayne Dyer stopped me in my tracks: "...Freedom does not come from avoiding the pain. It comes from walking through it with your heart wide open." In this episode, I share a simple three-part path for moving through marriage challenges with courage. First, I separate facts from my thoughts and choose the story that serves me. Then I ask better, braver questions that reveal the truths I've been avoiding. Finally, I use those answers and my tools to turn pain into growth, with practice and accountability. I talk about stepping out of victim mode, keeping my heart open, and loving you enough to tell you the truth, so you can become the woman you know you are and create a healthy, connected relationship. Struggling to decide whether to stay or go in your marriage and you're serious about finding that answer? Book a Truth & Clarity Session with a member of my team. We'll discuss where you are in your marriage and explore if there's a fit for you and I to work together so you can make - and execute - the RIGHT decision for YOU and your marriage.

Surveys show there are more people in therapy than ever. On one hand I feel there is more benefit in talking with someone than not. And on the other hand I'm concerned whether all the therapy is paying off. Statistically, mental health continues on a decline. So when I heard about SFBT therapy, I intrigued myself. SFBT is Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, defined as a goal-oriented, short-term approach that focuses on identifying a client's strengths and resources to find solutions to their problems, rather than dwelling on the problems themselves. My guest today is one of the foremost experts on Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. Elliott Connie is a respected author, top psychotherapist, and thought leader in Solution-Focused Brief Therapy (SFBT), takes a fresh approach. He has a book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Future: Overcome Challenges and Create a New Vision for Your Life Using the Principles of Solution-Focused Brief Therapy. In his book, Elliott challenges readers to rethink their questions and the thinking behind them, and I resonate with the concepts very much. The idea is using powerful, forward-focused questions that are designed to help you shift your mindset and create meaningful change. The highlights for me were the realization of how much more powerful it is when we think for ourselves and ask questions, rather than be told something. When we are told something by someone else, we can often push back against it. When we consider and come up with an answer to a question ourselves, we listen. We also got deep into the power of knowing and living in accordance with our core values. But not the “big picture core values,” as Elliott points out. We tend to think of beliefs and morality, but where he finds it most powerful is in the day to day values that actually support who we are and want to be.
