Every business decision is doing one of two things. It's either building authority or destroying it.  In this episode, Jake breaks down five business decisions that are silently ruining personal brand authority. From the way you position your pricing and package your offers to the way prospects experience your sales process, onboarding, and client journey, these hidden decisions shape whether people trust you, value your expertise, and see you as the obvious choice.  Because personal branding is about far more than logos, colors, and social media presence. True authority is built throughout the entire customer journey. Every touchpoint either reinforces confidence or creates doubt.   Whether you're a coach, consultant, service provider, or entrepreneur building something meaningful, this conversation will challenge the way you think about personal branding. Because authority isn't something you claim. It's something people experience. And when every part of your business is aligned to reinforce trust, growth becomes a whole lot easier.  What You'll Learn: The five business decisions that quietly destroy personal brand authority How to strategically design premium offers that elevate perceived value and strengthen credibility The hidden mistakes that attract the wrong clients and repel the right ones The overlooked touchpoints that either reinforce or erode trust throughout the customer journey Practical ways to strengthen authority at every stage of your business Timestamps: (00:43) - Why Personal Branding Is More Than Logos, Content, and Social Media (05:08) - Pricing & Positioning Mistakes That Destroy Authority (06:22) - Why Premium Offers Build More Trust Than Hourly Services (12:26) - Too Many Offers = Less Authority (14:26) - The Signature Offer Framework That Builds Trust Faster (24:15) - Sales & Conversion Mistakes That Cost You Clients (33:39) - Brand Positioning and the Danger of Being a Generalist (40:59) - Operations, Onboarding, and Client Experience (41:34) - The Hidden Trust Leaks Creating Buyer's Remorse (48:58) - Final Challenge: Which Business Decision Is Costing You Authority?

This year, technology has more influence in officiating sports than ever before.At the men's World Cup, the role of virtual assistant referee technology (VAR) has been extended to include two more on-pitch scenarios while in tennis, umpires use electric line calling systems (ELC) to make final decisions.Both bits of kit aim to improve the accuracy. It's become easier to consider match-defining moments through these tracking and review systems' specialised cameras. But, this information takes human officials valuable time to analyse.Football fans criticise VAR for this reason, saying it delays match momentum. Top ranking tennis players Aryna Sabalenka and Alexander Zverev have also complained as these systems are not yet infallible. If technology is as imperfect as a human referee or umpire and can interrupt the fan experience too, why do elite sports rely on it?This week on The Inquiry we're asking, ‘Is technology ruining sport?'Contributors Carlo de Marchis, independent advisor in sports and media technology in ItalyDr Otto Koblinger, former sports scientist, Munich Technical University, Germany and senior data manager, Saudi Pro LeagueProfessor Odilon Roble, sport philosopher and psychoanalyst, University of Campinas (UNICAMP), BrazilMatt Moore, associate dean, University of Kentucky's college of social work, USPresenter: Tanya Beckett Producer: Evie Yabsley Researcher: Amelia Cox Editor: Tom Bigwood Technical Producer: Nicky Edwards Production Management: Phoebe Lomas and Liam Morrey(Photo: VAR check.

Are shoes ruining your foot health without you even realizing it?  If you're dealing with foot pain, balance issues, knee discomfort, or aches that seem to appear out of nowhere, your footwear may be playing a bigger role than you think.  Modern shoes can change the way your feet function and why strong, mobile feet are essential for staying active and independent as you age. You'll discover practical strategies to improve foot strength, support better movement, and make smarter footwear choices without giving up comfort.  By the end, you may never look at your favorite pair the same way again—and you'll know exactly how to tell if they're among the shoes ruining your foot health. My Guest: Mark Sisson has been shaking up the world of health and fitness for over twenty years. He ignited the ancestral health movement in 2006 with his wildly successful blog, Mark's Daily Apple, and his best-selling book The Primal Blueprint. He helped popularize the ketogenic diet and the concept of intermittent fasting with his New York Times best-selling books, The Keto Reset Diet and Two Meals a Day. He gave millions of health-minded grocery shoppers access to healthier sauces and dressings with his Primal Kitchen Food company. He sold Primal Kitchen to Kraft Heinz for $200MM. And now he wants to change the way the world walks with his latest venture, a shoe company called Peluva and his latest book Born to Walk. Questions We Answer in This Episode: How did your journey from health entrepreneur to footwear innovator begin? Is it better to start walking in cushioned shoes or transition directly to minimalist footwear? What happens to your feet when you switch from traditional shoes to Peluva shoes? Why is the big toe considered one of the most important joints for movement, strength, and longevity? If you're overweight, out of shape, or new to exercise, what type of footwear should you start walking in? Are we seeing a shift toward healthier footwear choices for children and future generations? If you could go back to your athletic prime, how might stronger foot health have changed your future as an athlete? Do you miss distance running, and has your perspective on exercise changed with age? Is minimalist footwear right for everyone, and who benefits most from it? If this episode made you flip your workout routine — share it!

Your attachment style is running your sex life. The patterns keeping you distant, performative, or shut down in bed go deeper than technique. They were wired in before you could even name them. In this episode, we break down all four attachment styles, what they look like in the bedroom, and the specific two-minute daily practice you can start today to actually rewire the subconscious patterns that are keeping you stuck. If you are a man who wants a deeper, more fulfilling, more authentic sex life, you will learn why you pull away (or push too hard), how your childhood wiring shows up in bed right now, and what to do about it starting tonight.

15 weekends of summer. How are you spending them?Laurie counted them. There are 15 summer weekends this year — and the moment she did that, something shifted. Not because it changed anything. Because finite time does something very particular to high-achieving women: it turns enjoyment into management.This episode started as a thought on a walk and became something much bigger: an honest look at busyness as a drug, the habit of earning rest before allowing it, and why the discomfort of doing nothing might be the most useful information you get all summer.Laurie shares what she's been working through in real time: the Sunday she spent doing absolutely nothing while Mike was out of town, the guilt that followed, and the moment a quote from a keynote at Craft + Commerce hit her in the chest and put language to something she'd been feeling her whole life.Practical, honest, and a little uncomfortable in the best way. This one is for any woman who has ever felt like she needed to earn the weekend before she was allowed to enjoy it.What we coverWhy counting the summer weekends changes the way you experience them...and not always for the betterParkinson's Law: why finite time makes us cram instead of savor, and what that costs usThe two problems with finite time: cramming it full, or feeling guilty for not cramming it fullThe pattern Laurie has been running her whole life — Saturdays off, Sundays working — and why she never questioned it until nowThe Sunday she did absolutely nothing, felt guilty about it, and what that revealedJay Papasan's keynote at Craft + Commerce and the quote that stopped her cold: "If busyness is your drug, rest will feel like stress." — Ian SimpkinsWhy busyness works like a drug, and what the cost of that addiction actually isBusyness as a hiding place: why staying in motion postpones the questions, the decisions, and the version of yourself that has things to deal withThe empty calendar question: if every obligation disappeared tomorrow, what would bubble up for you in the quiet?Three things Laurie has been doing this summer — imperfectly — to practice actual restWhy rest is a skill, not a rewardThe question underneath all of it: who am I when I'm not busy?The three practices1. Name it when the pattern shows up. Not out loud, not dramatically. Just notice: I'm reaching for my laptop because I feel like I should have something to show for this afternoon. That's it. See it.2. Give the guilt somewhere to land. The guilt isn't about the rest. It's about the belief underneath: I'm only as valuable as what I produce. When the guilt arrives, get curious. Ask it: what are you trying to protect me from? What do you think will happen if I just sit here?3. Start smaller than you think you need to. Not the whole weekend. Twenty minutes. No phone, no task, no optimization. Just twenty minutes with no agenda. Then notice: how long after those twenty minutes does it take before you reach for something to do?Quotable moments"The moment something becomes finite, you stop enjoying it and start managing it.""At some point the weekend becomes a production — and the question becomes, is this still a weekend, or is it just a different kind of work?""If busyness is your drug, rest will feel like stress." — Ian Simpkins, shared by Jay Papasan at Craft + Commerce"The rest was always conditional. The play was always something I had to earn first.""The discomfort of being unproductive feels worse to me than the exhaustion of being overworked.""Busyness isn't just a habit. It can be a hiding place.""The busyness feels productive. But what it's actually producing is distance...from the questions, from the stillness, from the version of yourself that knows things you're not ready to deal with.""The rest isn't indulgent. It's information.""Rest is a skill. The first few times you try it, it's probably going to feel awful.""Who am I when I'm not busy?

In this episode of North American Waterfowler, Elliott recaps the annual Kansas River float trip, including high water conditions, storms, fishing, camping, and the adventures that unfolded along the way.

Elliott examines both the positives and negatives of social media, including poor representation of hunters, rage-bait content, community building, mentorship, education, and conservation awareness. He also asks a larger question: Why do people hunt in the first place?

Parts of India have been facing extreme heat - with temperatures soaring past 46 degrees Celsius. But a less familiar story unfolds after dark. When temperatures stay high after sunset, an essential human need is threatened: sleep.Scientific research suggests that hot nights are leading many of us around the world to lose shut-eye already. Our bodies need to cool down to fall asleep – but hotter nights make that much harder. And the impacts go way beyond just feeling tired; disrupted sleep has links to poor cardiovascular health and depression. Women, children, the elderly and those living in hot countries with less income are most affected. As global temperatures rise due to climate change, experts warn that the impact on our sleep – and our health – will only worsen. In this edition of The Climate Question, host Graihagh Jackson speaks to sleep expert Dr Sophie Bostock and BBC Marathi reporter, Janhavee Moole. They explore how rising temperatures are disrupting sleep in India and beyond – and share practical tips on how to stay cool in a warming world.Producers: Graihagh Jackson, Janhavee Moole and Grace Braddock Sound Mix: Ben Andrews and Tom Brignell Editor: Simon Watts

Are you worried that your anxiety is ruining your marriage? Does just being around your wife make your heart beat faster and your palms sweat? What about when you want to initiate some kind of conversation or intimacy? In this episode I talk about why we get anxious around her, what causes it, why it's happening now and what to think and do differently to move past this unsettling time.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/goodguys2greatmen-podcast--4650431/support.In our coaching, we help men get a powerful new mindset that empowers you to give, love and connect more deeply because you're finally doing that within yourself first. This mindset allows empathy, trust and connection to happen because you're confident in who you're being. We teach skills and knowledge that nobody ever teaches men when we're younger. Skills and knowledge that make you feel confident and in control even when chaos is going on around you. It's amazing what you can achieve when you make yourself a priority. Most men don't.   They are too busy taking care of everyone else.  Too busy minding the store and making the money.   They are focused on the "outside game" of winning life. But their "inside game" of confidence and clarity is suffering badly. You can only improve your inside game with other men. We would love to help you become more calm, more strong emotionally and more confident and happy in who you are as a man. Come and join us, either through 1-on-1 coaching with my colleague Dan Dore or me, or in our group coaching program with other amazing men who are travelling the same path as you right now in our Men's Live Coaching Roundtable. There's an amazing tribe of guys in this group with us, supporting and helping each other through this process of growth and self realization. https://goodguys2greatmen.com/goodguys2greatmen-live-coaching-roun

If you've ever wondered why weight loss gets harder the longer you diet, why every expert seems to have a different answer, or whether you really need to count calories to lose fat, this episode is for you.In Part 1 of this 4-part nutrition series, Britany breaks down the foundation of fat loss: calorie deficits, metabolism, metabolic adaptation, and why preserving muscle matters just as much as losing weight. She also explains why crash diets backfire, how popular diets actually work, and what women in perimenopause and menopause need to know about fat loss.In this episode, we discuss: What a calorie deficit actually is  The 4 ways your body burns calories  Why daily movement matters more than most people realize  Metabolic adaptation and why weight loss slows over time  Why bigger calorie deficits aren't always better  How keto, intermittent fasting, paleo, and other diets really work  The difference between weight loss and fat loss  Why preserving muscle is critical during a fat-loss phase  How strength training supports fat loss  The role of muscle in metabolism and long-term success  Fat loss during perimenopause and menopause  Why aggressive dieting often backfiresMentioned in the podcast:Free calorie calculatorSIGN UP FOR BRITANY'S NEWSLETTERhttps://britany.myflodesk.com/filterfreeASK BRITANY A QUESTION OR REQUEST A TOPIChttps://forms.gle/j9NC3yM5vrdBs8mJ8

This is one of those episodes I usually reserve for my mentorship courses and the practitioners I train, so I'm really glad I decided to bring it to the show. There is so much noise right now on Instagram and TikTok about liver health and gallbladder health, but a 20-slide carousel can only go so deep. My hope is that hearing this explained — with real stories and analogies — actually moves you to explore your own digestive health in a meaningful way. In this episode, I cover: Why your liver, digestive system, and nervous system are interconnected — and what happens when one goes offline The constellation of symptoms that get dismissed as "just IBS" or "just perimenopause" (bloating, bowel irregularities, right-sided shoulder ache, mood swings, waking between 1–3 AM, and more) How your liver metabolizes estrogen — and what estrogen dominance really signals about liver load The two phases of liver detoxification, which nutrients support each phase (B vitamins, magnesium bisglycinate, glycine, NAC), and what happens when those phases become sluggish The gallbladder's role as the liver's partner — and why removing it without addressing root cause is a missed opportunity The gut–brain axis, the vagus nerve, and why 90% of your serotonin is made in the gut Beta-glucuronidase — why your gut microbiome is directly influencing your hormone balance Blood work markers to request from your doctor: ALT, AST, ALP, GGT, bilirubin, albumin, ferritin, fasting insulin, HbA1c, full lipid panel, and more Functional testing I recommend: comprehensive stool test, Dutch Complete, HTMA, and when to consider an OAT test Nutrition priorities: cruciferous vegetables, bitter greens, fiber diversity, healthy fats, choline (please don't ditch the egg yolk), and eating in a parasympathetic state Supplement support for the liver, gut, and nervous system — including Hepato DR, L-glutamine, GI Revive, ox bile, calcium D-glucarate, and adaptogens Let's dive in!

Sales pipeline management isn't about tracking revenue. It's about understanding what's really happening inside your funnel before deals are won or lost. Most sales leaders are looking at the scoreboard when they should be studying the game. In this episode of the B2B Sales Trends Podcast, Harry sits down with Marcus Houston, SVP Customer Growth and Business Development at Transportation Insight, to unpack how top performing sales organizations use sales pipeline management, revenue forecasting, sales coaching, and revenue operations to improve forecast accuracy and drive consistent growth. Marcus shares why revenue is a lagging indicator, how hero deals distort reality, and what modern B2B sales leadership looks like when you measure the health of the entire funnel rather than just the outcome.

European champions Spain got completely shut down by tournament debutants Cape Verde—but did FIFA's controversial mandatory cooling breaks ruin their momentum?

It started innocently enough—just 10 pounds. A simple goal that millions of women set every day. But for me, that decision to lose "just 10 pounds" became the beginning of years trapped in an eating disorder. Today I'm re-sharing the story of the day my dreams were crushed by one comment, and how the belief that "something is wrong with me" became the foundation of my disordered eating. More importantly, I'm revealing why this same toxic belief might be keeping you trapped. In this vulnerable episode, you'll discover: The skating audition that changed everything with one cruel comment Why believing "something is wrong with you" is your biggest recovery obstacle How 10 pounds became 15, then 20, then 30 in a dangerous spiral The difference between walking in the storm and being the storm How to go back and heal your wounded inner child Why you were chosen to be free, not perfect The question that changes everything: "How would you live if nothing was wrong with you?" For the woman ready to stop believing she's the problem. THE DAY THAT CHANGED EVERYTHING I was living my childhood dream—skating at the rink I'd only watched others perform at as a little girl. The audition was going perfectly. Every jump, every spin—years of training paying off. Then came the soul-crushing words: "Well, Lindsay, your skating is amazing. However, come back when you've lost 10 pounds." Those words stung harder than any ice burn or fall. I left that day a changed person, believing something was fundamentally wrong with me. The dangerous spiral: 10 pounds became 15, then 20, then 25, then 30. What started as proving I could lose weight became an obsession that consumed my life. YOUR BIGGEST RECOVERY OBSTACLE The biggest problem you'll face in your quest to freedom: Holding onto the belief that something is wrong with you. Just like me, you may have received messages that you weren't good enough as you were—from people who likely didn't have their own needs met and were passing down their wounds. Your eating disorder doesn't define who you are. It's something you've experienced, just like my crushing audition moment. Time to let go of who you think you need to be. THE LIFE-CHANGING QUESTION How would you live differently if you believed there was nothing wrong with you? For years, I lived as if I had something to prove and someone to prove it to. I spent every day trying to drop those 10 pounds just to show I could. But here's the truth: I wasn't meant to be their version of enough, and you weren't meant to be their version of enough either. HEALING YOUR WOUNDED INNER SELF My breakthrough came when I went back in time—to little Lindsay who was innocent, vulnerable, trying to be perfect. I had to talk to her, comfort her, remember when I first felt "not enough." The day I realized I was living my life for others—built up and broken down by people who shaped my belief that I wasn't enough—was the day I chose to commit to recovery. YOU ARE THE SUNSHINE, NOT THE STORM You can walk in the storm and feel the storm, but you're not the storm. You are the sunshine. The day you decide you can be good enough just for you is the day you set yourself free. Maybe you're not thin enough, pretty enough, smart enough for someone else—but you weren't meant to be their version of enough. My dream in recovery was to be normal. But I wasn't made to be normal, and neither are you. Being different is what makes a difference. THE BIBLICAL TRUTH "You were chosen to be free." - Galatians 5:13 The biggest problem you'll ever face in your quest to freedom is holding onto the belief that something is wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you. You just need to step out into the sunshine. WHEN YOU FEEL TRAPPED When I felt unlovable, not enough, like something was wrong with me—I would love on others, shine on others, serve others. Maybe that's where you start today. Your rock bottom has to be the bottom because that's where the living takes place. Life is 10% what you experience and 90% how you respond. Stop responding like you are the problem. KEY QUOTES

Could aliens exist? Why are so many people fascinated by the idea of higher intelligence beyond our world? And what does the Bible have to say about it? This week on the 99.41 Podcast, Granger, Tyler, Parker, and AntMan dive into the buzz surrounding the upcoming film Disclosure Day and explore why stories about extraterrestrial life continue to capture the imagination of millions. As they unpack the movie’s themes, the conversation quickly shifts to a deeper question: What if humanity’s search for something greater is actually pointing us toward the truth already revealed in Jesus Christ? Drawing from passages like John 1, Colossians 1, and Hebrews 1, the team discusses God’s design, eternity written on the human heart, the claims of Christ, and why the gospel remains the most extraordinary event in human history. They also examine how believers can engage with popular culture, movies, and media while maintaining a biblical lens. Whether you’re curious about aliens, fascinated by end-times discussions, or simply looking for a deeper understanding of who Jesus is, this episode challenges listeners to focus less on what the world may be hiding and more on what God has already revealed in His Word. Topics include: Disclosure Day, aliens and Christianity, Steven Spielberg, biblical worldview, truth and culture, Colossians 1, John 1, Hebrews 1, the divinity of Christ, eternity in our hearts, and why Jesus changes everything.

Most college strength programs are actively making their athletes slower and weaker. I had another kid go to a D1 school with a 425-pound bench and come back only able to press 345. Elite strength coach and Westside Barbell disciple Jared Bidne is destroying the traditional, over-complicated sports performance model by proving that elite speed is built through brutal simplicity and high muscular tension. INSIDE THE EPISODE: The Death of Transfer: Why a 600-pound squat means absolutely nothing if your athlete cannot jump over a doormat. The 0.6 m/s Rule: How tracking precise bar speed on low box squats serves as the ultimate predictor for a 4.4-second 40-yard dash. The Track-Sprinting Trap: Why sending your football players to run track in the off-season is actually destroying their starting power. The Dumbbell Jump Protocol: Inside the auto-regulated, heavy-light vertical jump method that has produced forty-six 40-plus inch verticals. MEET THE GUEST: Jared Bidne is the owner and head coach of Explosive Mechanics, a private, athlete-only training facility he has operated for over 17 years. A Distinguished CSCS and Westside Barbell certified coach who learned directly under Louie Simmons, Bidne has developed a reputation for rescuing elite athletes from the detraining effects of collegiate programs. By stripping away traditional fads and focusing strictly on muscular tension and rate of force development, he has coached over 200 athletes to Division 1 scholarships, trained multiple IPF world record holders, and weaponized a proprietary dumbbell-jump system to systematically build world-class speed and power.

When did being a responsible adult become synonymous with being serious all the time? Somewhere along the way, many of us learned that curiosity, playfulness, imagination, and wonder were things we needed to leave behind in order to grow up. But what if those qualities aren't distractions from a meaningful life? What if they're essential to it? In this episode, Dr. Alison Cook sits down with entrepreneur, creative visionary, and author Piera Gelardi to explore why playfulness is far more than a luxury—it's a powerful source of resilience, creativity, connection, and emotional well-being. Together, they unpack how stress, perfectionism, and the pressure to "have it all together" disconnect us from our authentic selves, and how reclaiming play can help us feel more alive. You'll learn: Why playfulness is a sign of emotional health How stress, perfectionism, and the "cool police" rob us of joy The surprising connection between play and resilience How to move from a pressured state into a playful state Practical ways to reconnect with curiosity, wonder, and creativity Why childlike qualities may actually be your greatest strengths This conversation is an invitation to loosen your grip, laugh a little more, and rediscover the parts of yourself that make you feel most alive. More Resources: Order Piera's book, The Playful Way: Creativity, Connection, and Joy Through Everyday Moments of Play You can now preorder Dr. Alison's newest book, The Secure Soul, and immediately receive the first 3 chapters as well as early access to the companion guide!
