What if failure wasn't the end... but the beginning of your breakthrough? In this powerful 15-minute intervention, Tony Robbins works with Anna, a young Inner Circle member, on how to deal with failure and the feeling of “losing time,” while keeping her mind fresh and positive. Tony shares the truth that success isn't about everything working out — it's about learning from setbacks and using failure as fuel. Every disappointment becomes feedback, every obstacle just a speed bump on the road to lasting success. Tony introduces his RPM system — Results, Purpose, and a Massive Action Plan — to give Anna a clear, practical framework for moving forward. He also shares a moving story from his friend Peter Guber's childhood, illustrating that persistence, not perfection, creates true achievement. The ultimate lesson: if you turn failure into learning, failure doesn't exist. Please enjoy!

Mastering Engineer Dave Gardner & Audio Archivist Catherine Vericolli discuss the preservation of the Westbound Records audio catalogue, including the masters of legendary recordings by Funkadelic, The Counts, Ohio Players & more.

✨ Episode Summary: This classic replay episode is one of those golden ones that deserves a second (or third!) listen. In this heartfelt and high-energy convo, Cheri welcomes the legendary Davidji—named one of USA Today's top five meditation teachers to follow—to wrap up her 12-week series with a deep dive on making meditation a lifelong habit. From his iconic "RPM" method to the science behind morning rituals and his game-changing 16 Seconds to Bliss technique, Davidji offers wisdom that's wildly practical and deeply soulful. Plus, there's a beautiful guided meditation and a few tender moments about Peaches (yes, the Buddha-princess pup). A must-revisit for anyone ready to recommit to stillness—one breath at a time.

Episode Overview In this episode of The Design Vault, hosts Albert Shum and Thamer Abanami are joined by legendary producer Dan the Automator Nakamura (Gorillaz, Deltron 3030, Dr. Octagon) to explore the Technics SL-1200 MK2 — the direct drive DJ turntable that evolved from an audiophile product into a central instrument for hip hop, house, and techno DJs and producers. From Konosuke Matsushita's long-term “250-year philosophy” to Grand Wizard Theodore's scratching breakthrough, this is the story of how Japanese engineering precision met street creativity to create one of the most influential musical instruments of the late 20th century. Dan shares personal stories of witnessing a young Qbert and Mix Master Mike before fame, why the 1200 is often called the “Porsche 911 of turntables,” and how the constraints of early sampling technology shaped hip hop's signature sound.

Nossos sócios Gabriel Abelheira, Sarah Campos, Yara Cordeiro e Victor Ary debatem, no episódio de hoje, os principais acontecimentos da semana. No cenário internacional, o destaque foi a decisão do Fed, que cortou os juros em 25 bps, como esperado. Apesar de projeções atualizadas indicando crescimento mais forte e inflação acima da meta em 2026, a decisão reflete maior preocupação com a desaceleração do mercado de trabalho. Outros bancos centrais também tomaram decisões: no Canadá, a redução também foi de 0,25%, como esperado, mas sem guidance relevante; na Inglaterra, o juro foi mantido inalterado, demonstrando ainda preocupação com a inflação elevada; e no Japão também não houve alteração, com tom mais hawkish. No Brasil, o Copom manteve a Selic em 15% e sinalizou ter ganhado convicção de ter chegado no patamar de juros suficientemente restritivo, apesar de manter a possibilidade de retomada do ciclo de alta caso necessário. A projeção de inflação para 2026 foi mantida em 3,4%, o que reduz a probabilidade de cortes ainda este ano. Do lado de atividade, a taxa de desemprego cedeu e rendimentos subiram, reforçando resiliência do mercado de trabalho. A Câmara aprovou regime de urgência para o projeto de anistia aos envolvidos no 8/1; a “PEC da blindagem”, que gerou repercussão negativa; e a MP que garante ampliação da isenção da conta de luz. As pesquisas de opinião, apesar de mistas, mostraram estagnação na aprovação do governo. No mercado de crédito, o fluxo de captação seguiu positivo, pressionando o mercado secundário. No mercado primário, houve emissão de R$5 bi de debêntures tradicionais, e R$2,5 bi de incentivadas. Observou-se fechamento de 6 bps na parcela “low rated” do índice e 5 bps na parcela de infraestrutura. Nos EUA, a curva de juros abriu nos vértices longos e fechou nos curtos, com S&P 500 em alta de 1,22%. No Brasil, os juros fecharam, o Ibovespa subiu 2,53% e o real se valorizou 0,57%. Na próxima semana, atenção ao PCE e PMIs nos EUA, além das falas de dirigentes do Fed. No Brasil, destaque para ata do Copom, IPCA-15 de setembro, RPM e o Relatório Bimestral de Receitas e Despesas do governo. Confira!

Send us a textPassion fuels Ava Weil's racing journey across dirt and asphalt, creating a remarkable story of perseverance and growth. This high school senior from Plymouth, Indiana doesn't just race – she lives and breathes motorsports with dreams of turning her passion into a career through motorsports management.Ava's racing roots run deep, beginning at age four when she climbed into her brother's quarter midget for the first time. Though she stepped away from quarter midgets after two years to balance school and sports, racing remained in her blood. At thirteen, she found herself back in the motorsports world, working alongside her uncle and cousin on their street stock and modified cars, absorbing knowledge that would later prove invaluable.The most fascinating turn in Ava's story comes with her transition from asphalt to dirt racing. After purchasing a front-wheel-drive car at fourteen that rarely saw track time due to her busy sports schedule, a chance invitation to try a go-kart on dirt opened an entirely new chapter. Despite having no dirt experience, Ava's natural talent shone through – finishing second in just her second race with her own kart. Now in her second season, she's claimed three victories and secured multiple sponsors.What makes Ava's experience particularly noteworthy is her position as one of only three females racing at MoCarts of Marshall County. Her success isn't just personal – it's inspirational. She actively encourages more girls to enter motorsports, even letting young girls try her kart after races to spark their interest. Her philosophy is refreshingly straightforward: racing means more to her than typical teenage activities because it fulfills a deeper passion.The technical aspects of racing don't intimidate Ava either. She works closely with her father on kart setup, particularly focusing on tire preparation and maintaining the required 5,500 RPM limit. These hands-on experiences provide practical application for her future studies in motorsports management.If you're inspired by stories of young women breaking barriers in traditionally male-dominated spaces, Ava's journey will resonate deeply. Follow her progress on Facebook under "Weil Racing" and witness firsthand how determination, family support, and raw talent combine to create a promising future in motorsports.Support the showFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/womensmotorsportsnetworkandpodcast INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/womensmotorsportsnetwork/ LINKEDIN: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ TIKTOK: https://www.linkedin.com/in/melindarussell/ X: https://x.com/IWMANation FACEBOOK Personal Page: https://www.facebook.com/melinda.ann.russell

Remote Patient Monitoring (RPM) has grown into a $500 million market in 2024, underscoring the remarkable demand for connected care solutions. This growth is more than just a number—it reflects a structural shift in how Medicare is approaching primary care. By Editor-in-Chief, Concierge Medicine Today/The DocPreneur Leadership Podcast Fall/Winter 2025 - In many ways, RPM and Chronic Care Management (CCM) represent Medicare's attempt to move primary care away from a purely fee-for-service model and toward a capitated, ongoing care structure built around a flat monthly fee. It's not concierge medicine, but in practice, it mirrors some of the principles: continuous monitoring, proactive management, and stronger patient-provider connection. Unlike CCM, which has seen slower traction, RPM adoption has been swift and widespread. The Office of Inspector General (OIG) has expressed concerns in recent reports, but this very scrutiny highlights the scale of adoption and the significant investment in ongoing monitoring that the U.S. healthcare system has never truly embraced before.

If your traffic fell off a cliff after recent Google updates and AI answers, you're not alone—especially if you're a recipe, YMYL (Your Money or Your Life), or niche blogger who used to win with long posts and ads. But SEO isn't dead—it's evolved. In my latest Blogger Genius Podcast episode, I'm talk to SEO strategist, Steven Schneider, who breaks down exactly how creators can still win in 2025: build visible authority, earn strategic backlinks, improve UX, and shift revenue toward newsletters and products. Show Notes: MiloTree Free Plan Steven Schneider 6 Purchasing Triggers Test Join The Blogger Genius Newsletter Become a Blogger Genius Facebook Group Subscribe to the Blogger Genius Podcast: iTunes YouTube Spotify The Problem Creators Are Facing in 2025 AI is answering queries and compressing clicks—brutal for “quick-answer” niches like recipes. Google is rewarding authority (E-E-A-T) and punishing thin UX (endless scroll, intrusive ads, fluff). Old playbooks (publish more posts, stuff in keywords, hope for ad RPM) don't move the needle. Solution in a sentence: Treat search like a brand + authority channel, not a traffic lottery. Build proof of expertise on every page, earn real mentions/links, and turn all attention into owned audiences and product revenue. What's Working Now (According to Steven) 1) Authority > everything Add clear E-E-A-T signals on every post and key page (not just your About page): Real author byline + headshot 2–3 credential links (culinary school, certifications, LinkedIn) Awards/press mentions (linked) Concise author bio block on each post This helps Google and readers trust that a human expert wrote it. 2) Backlinks with intent (no spray-and-pray) Guest on podcasts (links in show notes = high-quality, relevant). Offer expert quotes to other bloggers/journalists; pitch quick 2–3 sentence tips they can drop in with a link. Vary anchor text (brand, URL, topical phrases) and use reciprocal links sparingly. Paying for “time” vs “links” is a gray area—be selective and ethical. 3) UX that respects the reader Stop the 4,000-word detours; give the answer fast and add optional depth. Keep one H1 per page, logical H2/H3s, strong internal linking, and basic schema hygiene. Recipes/how-to: lead with the steps; put the story below. 4) BOFU content (not just top-of-funnel) Steven's agency prioritizes bottom-of-funnel, high-intent topics that convert to leads or sales—because SEO must tie to revenue. 5) Newsletter > ad RPM Clicks are down, but email still converts. Build a free newsletter, nurture weekly, and sell your own offers (ebooks, mini-courses, templates, memberships). 7-Step Action Plan (Do this in the next 14 days) Add E-E-A-T blocks site-wide Byline, headshot, 2–3 credential links, “Reviewed by” where relevant. Fix on-page structure One H1, clean headings, scannable sections, strong internal links among related posts. Create one “wow” asset (lead magnet or calculator) Examples: Gluten-free flour swap chart (instant, high-value) Meal-prep planner (fillable PDF) ROI/Cost calculator (tools get links + emails) Pitch 10 podcasts in your niche Offer 3 topic angles, a short bio, and a value-packed outline; request a site link in show notes. Run a “quote outreach” sprint Identify 25 relevant posts; email the author a ready-to-paste 2–3 sentence expert tip + your preferred link target (vary anchors). Publish 3 BOFU posts Bottom-of-funnel queries aligned to your product (e.g., “Meal-prep templates,” “Gluten-free baking guide PDF,” “One-hour blogging audit”). Launch or revive your newsletter Weekly format: 1 tip, 1 tool, 1 template. Soft-pitch your product/freebie in each send. Make This Easy (and Free) with MiloTree With the MiloTree Free Plan, you can: Sell one digital product (ebook, template, workshop replay) Offer a freebie/lead magnet with automatic delivery Add a social pop-up to grow followers while you sleep Spin up AI-generated pages (sales + opt-in) in minutes

We happen to work with a lot of contractors, but it doesn't really matter what type of business you're in. There are so many business owners that want to scale their product, actually grow the value of their product. They want to go from selling a product or service that's X and offers X at this price, to being able to 2x or 5x it—make it more robust, bigger, or whatever. We talk about these systems all the time. Implementing effective systems to ensure consistent profitability is a critical aspect of not only running a business but also being able to scale a product. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Let's talk about this idea, and I want to give you a real-world example of a client of ours. I'll share his name—got his permission—who was able to 5x his project size. We only asked a couple of key questions, and I want to walk you through that. My buddy Sean Supple, who owns Supple Homes out of Menlo Park and Palo Alto in the Silicon Valley area of California, was laboring away at this wonderful home building company. They were servicing a lot of $2–3 million projects, which, depending on where you live, is a significant project size. But Sean knew he and his team were capable of taking on more unique opportunities, particularly in their market, and they wanted to go after those. Like most contractors, cash flow was always an issue due to the expense of running a business. With 78–82% cost of goods, plus the realities of the Silicon Valley market, it was a challenge. So Sean and his team committed to subdividing their bank accounts—something we talk about all the time. By cutting up their dollars and placing them in separate “homes,” they could see where the money was and also map out their entire process. They created a master process roadmap, even distilled into learning pathways, and committed to RPM communication (Repetition, Predictability, and Meaning). That meant regular agenda-driven, leader-led, one-hour team meetings, departmental meetings, one-on-one check-ins, and executive-level meetings. But what they found themselves needing was a more meaningful marketing plan. So we asked this one key question—the one I want you to write down: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? We meet so many business owners who want to hire outsourced marketing firms. That's fine, but the reality is they're chasing new pathways when often the answer is in plain sight. Building new channels is like building a building—it takes years of groundwork. Instead, look back and ask: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? For Sean, the answer was easy: architects. Rather than wasting resources on random efforts, we mapped out a simple, intentional, repetitive, predictable, and meaningful outreach process to a basic list of local architects. Within a few months, Supple Homes began securing larger, more complex projects by nurturing those existing relationships. Sean and his team built financial processes, marketing processes, sales/conversion processes, and operational processes. This gave both his team and prospective clients confidence in their ability to deliver on larger, more challenging projects. The impact of Sean's new commitment to process implementation went far beyond immediate financial gains. By maintaining a solid cash balance—something many contractors struggle with—they no longer had to rely on borrowed money, credit lines, or constant lending. Instead, with subdivided cash and clear processes, they sustained financial stability and gained the confidence to take on larger projects. As a result, Sean and his team successfully transitioned from handling $2–3 million projects to $8–11 million projects. Yes, the market helped, but the real key was their strong financial foundation. Winning projects is one thing; delivering them profitably and on schedule is another. Sean's story illustrates several key points for contractors looking to improve profitability: Regular financial tracking—even if only a few minutes a week—can greatly improve cash flow management. Subdividing bank accounts helps visualize and control finances. Much of cash management is more about psychology than the dollar itself. Control your money rather than letting it control you. Maintaining a healthy cash balance provides confidence and capability to take on larger projects. Cash gives you options. Without it, your options shrink. Improved processes and profitability allow reinvestment in the business, employee incentives, and personal profit—all critical for long-term success. By implementing these systems, you can achieve the kind of growth Sean did. Markets will rise and fall, but preparation and process allow you to handle whatever comes your way. So remember this key question: Where has 80% of your business come from in the past? And what systems do you have to repetitively, predictably, and meaningfully mine that 80%? Because that's where most of your future business will likely come from as well. We can help you map this out. If you'd like a one-time consulting opportunity with us, go to businessonpurpose.com, fill out the contact form, and we'll walk you through options to get kickstarted. And if you want to work with us long term, we'll explain how that works too.

The wheels of justice appear to be spinning at a higher RPM these days. Attorney General Pam Bondi reportedly has ordered a federal prosecutor to submit evidence to a grand jury about what the media is branding as “Russiagate.” She's responding to a criminal referral of what the source of such evidence, Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard, calls a treasonous coup led by former President Barack Obama. Therefore, a more apt descriptor of the epic scandal would be “Obamagate.” It remains to be seen whether a recent Supreme Court ruling shielding presidents from prosecution for official acts while in the White House will protect Donald Trump's predecessor for his alleged involvement in such a conspiracy. Obama's complicity must, however, be investigated, along with many of his senior subordinates' – and prosecuted, at a minimum, in the court of public opinion. This is Frank Gaffney.
Most of the businesses we work with have less than 100 employees. In fact, if you were to do a bell curve, you'd see that most of our clients fall somewhere between five and 50 employees in that sweet spot. So we tend to give a lot of examples. The majority of our clients are in the contracting space or the AEC space—architecture, engineering, contracting—or industries that support those. It's a privilege to work with them. Within that, what we typically run into is not a lack of ideas or concepts, but a mindset barrier—that tends to be the rub—that keeps them from being liberated from chaos and making time for what matters most. Hey, it's Scott Beebe with Business On Purpose. Always a delight to bring you a few nuggets that can be helpful as you own a business you're trying not to be owned by. That leads to our mission: to liberate you from chaos and make time for what matters most. Make sure to visit our website, businessonpurpose.com, where you'll find all sorts of free resources. If you go to businessonpurpose.com/healthy, you can take a five-to-seven-minute assessment to evaluate the backend health of your business. Recently, I shared examples from American Paving Designs, clients of ours for years. I told you about how they had that systems mindset—whatever task they do, they document it, capture it, and record it like it's the last time they'll ever do it. Their approach to training and information management showcases the power of a growth mindset in action. By creating training videos their team can access and rewind as needed, they've implemented a system that saves time, reduces frustration, and empowers their team. That is the ultimate task and indication of a good leader: equipping the team. This method benefits both new employees seeking information for the first time and experienced staff who would otherwise answer the same questions repeatedly. How many times have we heard clients say, "How do I get people to stop knocking on my door asking to pick my brain?" One of the biggest barriers isn't ideas or opportunities—it's mindset. Their commitment to systematizing knowledge reflects a mindset shift crucial to growing businesses. What holds people back from systematizing isn't usually skill—it's mindset. Carol Dweck explains in her great book Mindset that a fixed mindset—locked up and padlocked—can hold you back and trap your business in chaos. A growth mindset, on the other hand, opens up continuous improvement, or what we call RPM: repetition, predictability, meaning—and also efficiency. With a growth mindset, you can begin to intentionally and systematically map out your business processes. Why? Not because you're a robot or obsessed, but because you want to equip others. This isn't just about process—it's about creating an environment of equipment where continuous, relentless learning (one of our five core values) and improvement are prioritized. You might be thinking, “But I'm not a systems person—that's not who I am.” Well, if that's the case, you have two options: push yourself to learn and develop the skills, or find people who excel in that area to help you. Either way, you must shift your mindset to understand the power of systematizing so that you can equip others. What's the purpose? To equip others. Why? So you and they can be liberated from chaos and make time for what matters most—not just leisure time, but meaningful work time, too. As a leader, your role is to provide the vision, mission, values, culture, resources, and support necessary to build and refine systems over time. Isn't it interesting how quickly I rattled those off—vision, mission, values, culture, resources, support? That takes a lot of time. I recently mapped out every element that needs to be trained in our business—not including the coaching task—and I'm already at 150. Creating effective systems isn't a one-time or one-module task. It's an ongoing effort to build, manage, and sharpen your tools. Continuous improvement is what separates businesses that thrive from those that merely survive—or worse, leave you stuck with a business run by a boss you hate and a job you don't like. By embracing a growth mindset and committing to systematization, you're setting your business up for long-term success—not just financially, but in solving today's problems and building a framework for tomorrow's challenges. It's both/and: learning from the past, acting in the present, and shaping the future. So what stops you? Again—it's the mindset. Visit mybusinessonpurpose.com/healthy, take the five-to-seven-minute assessment, and get a clear picture of where your business stands process-wise. Let us help you get closer to being liberated from chaos so you can make time for what matters most.
