This session is such a grounded look at the realities of running and scaling a bigger business. Whether that's the team dynamics, the behind-the-scenes adjustments, or the ongoing work of catching up to the size and scale of what you've built.  We also dig into why "new energy" isn't always better, how to use what already works (even if it's not shiny or new), and what it looks like to assume ease instead of expecting struggle. This episode is about anchoring into what's proven, trusting your experience, and remembering that success can be simple.  In this episode, you'll hear: The thing *every* bigger business faces (even if it's not talked about enough) How to use what's already working (and why often the simplest strategies work the best) Why new energy isn't always the answer, especially in a trust recession How to close the gap between what you know and what your audience actually understands What it looks like to catch up to the level of business you've actually built  The thing no one tells you about giving and generosity in your business Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Molly on Instagram Learn more about Molly on her website If you're enjoying the coaching you're hearing, check out my Ultimate Mini Course to Maximizing Results in 1:1 Coaching to learn the proven strategies & foundational tools for creating an in-demand container that gets your clients real results

It's the end of 2025 and I'm joined by special guest Krissi Polentz to chat about this past year in trail running. What stood out? What were the big stories and big misses that shaped out sport and culture? We're taking a look at the players that speak, the businesses that spend money, and the movers that have shape our sport this past year. And of course, we're making some predictions for what this all will mean for the coming one. Happy Holidays and thanks for being part of the ride.

Donate (no account necessary) | Subscribe (account required) Day two of the Wright Report holiday series continues with unscripted answers to listener-submitted questions, beginning with a stark warning about America's greatest threats. Bryan responds to ODNI Director Tulsi Gabbard's assessment of Islamist ideology by laying out his own top three dangers to the United States: China as the foremost existential threat, followed by the Radical Left's push to "re-imagine" the Constitution, and then radical Islam, which he argues was empowered by failed immigration and assimilation policies. The episode then turns to hope and resilience. Responding to listener concerns about losing faith in the American experiment, Bryan points to the broad, multi-ethnic coalition that rejected open borders, rising crime, and economic fragility. He argues that while political battles are far from over, Americans have reclaimed their ability to speak freely, organize, and push back against forces that seek to dismantle the country's founding principles. The second half of the episode pulls back the curtain on the podcast itself. Bryan explains what differentiates The Wright Report from other shows, why he limits advertising, how foreign influence operations can target podcasters, and what drives his long-term vision. He closes with personal reflections on purpose, legacy, family, faith, and why he has no intention of returning to Washington, choosing instead to keep building something independent and mission-driven.    "And you shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free." - John 8:32     Keywords: Wright Report holiday series, listener submitted questions, Tulsi Gabbard national security, China threat USA, radical left ideology, radical Islam threat, American identity debate, immigration assimilation, free speech podcasting, foreign influence operations, independent media, faith and legacy

Running an online business has always come with ups and downs, and after more than 12 years as an entrepreneur, that part isn't new to me.  What is new is the level of emotional exhaustion and volatility I'm seeing lately, especially among high-performing women who are doing everything "right" but still feel drained, on edge, or mentally stuck. In this episode, I'm joined by Hope Pedraza, a functional practitioner and Nourished Business Accelerator alum who takes a truly holistic approach to burnout, nervous system regulation, and emotional resilience in business.  We talk about why business feels heavier right now, how hypervigilance and dopamine-driven patterns sneak in, and what it actually takes to stay grounded and clear when growth isn't linear… without sacrificing your health, boundaries, or sense of self in the process. Episode Timeline & Highlights [01:28] – Why remembering that business has ups and downs isn't always enough  [05:14] – The rise of hypervigilance, uncertainty, and "waiting for the next shoe to drop" [07:15] – How obsession with numbers turns into mental spirals and anxiety [11:22] – Why perfectionism and the need for things to "work the first time" blocks growth  [13:26] – Reframing business growth as "up and down on the way up" [16:23] – A real-life example of setting boundaries — and why the body can react so strongly [33:26] – Dopamine hits, identity, and how validation-driven business leads to burnout [41:50] – Practical first steps to detach from outcomes and regulate your nervous system Top 5 Quotes "Your business is only as healthy as the body you have to build the business." "Running a business in constant hypervigilance is a huge energy suck." "Growth isn't about "getting there" it's about who you're becoming along the way." "If you need more and more wins to feel okay, that's not excitement... that's dopamine." "Discomfort doesn't mean it's wrong. Sometimes it just means your nervous system doesn't feel safe yet."

What does it take to return to the top of the ultra running world after major life changes and a "career-ending" surgery? Kaytlyn Gerbin knows. In this episode, Kaytlyn shares her journey from a scientist with a love for the outdoors to a world-class trail and ultra runner. Growing up active but without formal running experience, she discovered her talent in her mid-twenties and quickly fell in love with the 100-mile distance. Since then, she's set course records, tackled some of the most technical alpine trails in the Pacific Northwest, and stood on podiums at legendary races like UTMB, Western States 100, and Transgrancanaria. But Kaytlyn's story isn't just about running. It's about resilience, reinvention, and balance. After the birth of her daughter Era in 2024 and undergoing surgery to correct hip dysplasia—a procedure many thought would end her running career—Kaytlyn came back stronger than ever, winning the Cascade Crest 100 and taking on the epic 330km Tor des Geants race in Italy. In this episode, you'll hear about: How she discovered her running talent and found her passion for ultra distances Overcoming setbacks, starting over, and learning to meet herself where she is The mental strategies that help her tackle 100-mile races and multi-day alpine challenges Balancing motherhood with elite-level running Her plans and goals for 2026, including Hardrock 100 and UTMB Whether you're an aspiring ultra runner, a parent chasing big goals, or someone who loves stories of grit, perseverance, and adventure, Kaytlyn's story will inspire you to push your limits—on the trails and in life. Tune in to hear how Kaytlyn combines mountains, motherhood, and science-backed training to redefine what's possible, one long run at a time. ***  New episodes of the Tough Girl Podcast drop every Tuesday at 7 AM (UK time)! Make sure to subscribe so you never miss the inspiring journeys and incredible stories of tough women pushing boundaries.  Do you want to support the Tough Girl Mission to increase the amount of female role models in the media in the world of adventure and physical challenges?

Send us a text#362 - Do you have a trail that you absolutely love but you don't want to tell others about it? Maybe it's one that's quieter than the more popular ones, maybe it's a bit out of the way or not as well-known. Or maybe there's a very popular trail or running route nearby that most runners choose over your secret route. I have a couple of these and this week, I tell you one of mine. It's next to a very popular running route in San Francisco, yet few runners use it. And it's their loss. I hope you enjoy this one and that it inspires to find a secret running route or trail of your own! Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts Spotify Fit, Healthy & Happy Podcast Welcome to the Fit, Healthy and Happy Podcast hosted by Josh and Kyle from Colossus...Listen on: Apple Podcasts SpotifySupport the showMartha Runs the World websitehttps://www.buzzsprout.com/248027Email:martharunstheworld@gmail.comInstagram:https://www.instagram.com/martharunstheworld/#

Steve sits down with David Rubin, founder of the Shiloh Israel Children's Fund and former mayor of Shiloh, Israel, for an urgent conversation on the growing threat posed by Iran and why Israel's patience appears to be running out. As Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu signals that time is limited, Rubin explains what that message really means on the ground, why Israel's security decisions are about survival, not politics, and why decisive leadership matters in the face of hostile regimes. It's a sobering, firsthand perspective on Middle East realities that Americans need to understand as global tensions continue to rise.

April co-founder and CEO Ben Borodach joins Fund/Build/Scale to break down how he built a compound startup in one of the hardest markets in fintech: U.S. taxes. We talk about why some problems can't be solved with a simple wedge product, how to sequence engineering, compliance, and distribution, and what it takes to operate inside complexity for years before the market catches up. Ben shares the early customer discovery work, the “science experiments” that shaped April's product, and the cultural frameworks he and his co-founder developed before they wrote any code. If you're an early-stage founder deciding what to build — or how to build it — this episode offers a clear playbook for choosing hard problems and de-risking them the right way.

A former broadcaster turned software developer based in Dunedin, Brendan describes a lifelong struggle with weight, the shame and “try harder” messaging, and the moment he realised the issue wasn't a character flaw—it was the advice. After being pointed toward Professor Tim Noakes and a low-carb approach, Brendan ran a deliberate self-experiment: change the food first, track the results, and let hunger be the guide. The payoff wasn't just the scale—it was satiety, routine, confidence, and a practical framework for staying the course when life (and “eat normal”) pressure shows up.Highlights / topics coveredWhy “eat less, move more” failed him—and what shifted when the food changed firstThe early wins: scales, clothing fit, and appetite finally calming down“Success over compliance”: choosing what works over what's orthodoxBuilding guardrails: simple routines, fewer decisions, and sustainable structureNavigating social pressure, setbacks, and the long game of metabolic health Contact Mikki:https://mikkiwilliden.com/https://www.facebook.com/mikkiwillidennutritionhttps://www.instagram.com/mikkiwilliden/https://linktr.ee/mikkiwilliden

While the holiday season represents a break from training for some, for others it's the perfect opportunity to start ramping up towards big goals in the year ahead. Regardless of where you find yourself, the end of one year and the beginning of the next marks a perfect time for all runners to take some time to plan for racing and training goals in the year ahead. And while plenty of athletes will be obsessing over their Strava year-end stats and setting even loftier targets for fast times and high mileage in the new year, many might be overlooking an area for improvement that's equally ripe for the taking: their nutrition. This week on The Shakeout Podcast, we're joined by Registered Dietitian Sandra Kilmartin of No Sweat Nutrition. Sandra's joint passions for running and nutrition come together in her work helping athletes of all abilities, from the track to Ultramarathons, fuel better, feel better, and get the most out of themselves through real-world nutrition solutions. Today, she joins the show to talk about steps runners can take to make sure they're giving their bodies the fuel they need to perform, how to avoid some of the common race day fuelling pitfalls, and what it looks like to create a nutrition plan that works with you to achieve all your running 2026 running goals. Find more Sports Nutrition advice at nosweatnutrition.caFollow them on Instagram @NoSweatNutritionSubscribe to The Shakeout Podcast feed on Apple, Spotify, YouTube or wherever you find your podcasts.

The single biggest mistake runners make isn't about shoes, diet, or mileage. It's running every single day in the one zone that guarantees burnout.What if everything you thought about "moderate effort" running was backwards? Most runners are confused about the grey zone because it feels productive but rarely delivers results. In this episode, I break down what the grey zone actually is, why it leaves so many people feeling stuck, and how to tell when it's helping versus hurting your training. I walk through simple ways to spot it, explain why it's often called “junk” work, and show how to use it intentionally without burning yourself out. If you want to feel fresher, train smarter, and finally understand where your effort should go, this episode gives you the clarity to do that.Key TakeawaysThe grey zone is not a bad pace by itself, but it becomes a problem when it turns into your default for every run. When that happens, you stay tired without getting fitter.Easy runs should feel truly easy, and hard days should feel clearly hard. The progress comes from separating those efforts instead of living in the middle.Grey zone works best when it's used on purpose for specific goals like marathon pace or tempo work. It should support your training, not quietly take it over.Timestamps[00:24] What You'll Learn[01:10] What Is It and How to Spot The Grey Zone[03:43] Why People Call It Junk and Why That's Wrong[05:38] How To Use The Grey Zone In a Smart Way[06:22] Use This to Run In The Grey Zone[06:43] When To Use (And Avoid) Grey Zone[08:27] Check If You're In The Grey Zone[09:36] Use This To Build Your Base Before Building Your Grey ZoneLinks & Learnings

The Dynasty Nerds Dynasty Fantasy Football Podcast crew delivered their final weekly buy and sell recommendations of the season, identifying key players whose values have shifted heading into championship week and the offseason. Garret and Jagger broke down late season opportunities across multiple positions, offering insights on which players to target now before values shift again. Kirk Cousins emerged as a surprising buy recommendation despite his benching in Atlanta. With numerous teams needing quarterbacks in 2026, including the Giants, Browns, Jets, and Saints, Cousins could land in a situation where he provides fantasy value similar to Joe Flacco. The hosts suggest acquiring him cheaply now and flipping him for a 2027 second or third round pick once desperation hits in Week 5. Cam Ward also drew discussion as a soft buy, with improved play suggesting he may not be the bust many feared. While concerns remain about decision making, Ward is no longer drowning when things go wrong, making him worth a late first round pick. Running back remains tricky with Josh Jacobs showing troubling signs of hitting the age cliff, while Omarion Hampton looks like the clear rookie running back one heading into next season.

Why do some race toward danger in moments of crisis? Recent events underscore the very human reaction to choose "we" over "me." Jan shares the true story of a hero on Bondi Beach during a recent terror attack against the Jewish community, and how a Moslem helped stand up for them and for humanity, and, in doing so, helped kindle more light.

In today's episode of my MythBuster series, I'm talking about one of the most persistent beliefs in the interior design industry: that you need design school to succeed. This one hits close to home for me, because I didn't go to design school — and for a long time, I carried that quietly, wondering if it would eventually expose me as someone who didn't belong. What I've learned over the years, though, is that this myth doesn't just affect designers without formal education. It affects everyone. What I see again and again is this gap — the gap between learning how to design and learning how to run a business. And no matter how you entered this industry, almost every designer hits it eventually. In this episode, I talk about: Why not going to design school does not disqualify you — and why going doesn't automatically prepare you either The real gap most designers face between creativity and business ownership How education and preparedness are often confused (and why that leads to self-doubt) The emotional weight of business ownership that no one warns designers about Why burnout is usually a systems problem, not a personal failure The identity shift required to move from "designer" to confident business owner At the end of the day, designing beautiful spaces is only part of the job. Running a sustainable interior design business requires an entirely different skill set — one that can be learned intentionally, without shame, and without burning yourself out in the process. If you've ever felt like everyone else has a manual you never received, I want you to hear this clearly: you're not behind, you're not missing something, and you're not failing. You've simply reached the part of the journey where leadership matters more than talent. If this episode resonated with you, I hope it gives you permission to release the idea that there was one "right" path into this industry. There are just different roads, and they all eventually lead here — to learning how to build a business that supports your life instead of consuming it.
