Podcasts about Russ

A book coach who's written 15 novels pulls back the curtain on what's really happening when your messy first draft disappoints you. Ever finished a chapter, read it back, and realized the words on the page don't match the story in your head? There's a name for that. It's called the “taste gap,” and it often shows up among serious, lifelong readers. In this episode, I sit down with book coach and publishing strategist Gala Russ (who's written 15 novels) to talk about the taste gap, what a first draft is supposed to look like, and why messy writing is the whole point.This one's for you if you've studied writing for years but still struggle to finish your first draft. Because the taste gap closes when you practice writing more than researching it.Here's what we talk about:[04:41] Why no number of finished pages ever makes you feel like a real writer, and the loaded questions non-writers often ask that get inside your head. [13:55] What a real first draft actually looks like behind the scenes and why a scrappy, hodgepodge, messy manuscript is usually a good sign.[19:04] The taste gap explained: why being an avid reader who knows what ‘good' is can make your own draft feel like the worst thing you've ever read.[23:52] How to know when a book needs more revision, when it's okay to walk away, and the sunk cost fallacy trap that keeps writers rewriting forever. [38:37] Why more craft books won't fix a stuck draft, the hidden blocks keeping writers frozen, and Gala's creative workaround for finding writing time in a busy life.Here's what I want you to take away from this episode. The fact that you can read a great book, feel moved by it, then look at your own draft and feel like it's not measuring up, that is not a sign you're not meant to be a writer. It's a sign your taste has developed faster than your skills. And skills are built by writing, not by reading one more craft book.

How many times can the guys say "mindcage!"? It's the new "geostorm!" Find out as Russ and Jared get into it with the trailer for Silence of the Lambs ripoff, Mindcage (2022), starring Martin Lawrence, Melissa Roxburgh, John Malkovich, Robert Knepper, Neb Chupin, and Jacob Grodnik.

If you've had a loved one battling cancer in a hospital for months at a time, you will better understand this emotional chat with Russ Sadler of GBMC Health, who engineers and provides strategies with patients and caregivers in mind to find comfort and peace for families while they try to get better and heal in mind and body on the Towson campus.

This First of the Month recording has everyone in a great mood off the jump, with Andy immediately taking a victory lap for a big weekend from Pete Crow-Armstrong against the Cardinals. Brendan quickly transitions things to Russell Henley's playoff win at the Charles Schwab Challenge, the sixth PGA Tour victory of his career. Henley birdied the final three holes in regulation to tie Eric Cole before making another on the sole playoff hole. Andy brings up some other six-time winners in an effort to contextualize Henley's career and his chances of winning a major championship. Brendan calls Henley a likely Presidents Cup lock despite believing the U.S. should look to build some younger stars ahead of Adare Manor. The two discuss Colonial's continued run as a challenging Tour stop and suggest that this should be the main Texas event on the new schedule. Andy and Brendan then run through results from the rest of the golf world, starting with yet another Joaquin Niemann win for LIV Golf. Despite the individual win for Niemann, the Crushers still took down the team title in Korea, aided by Bryson DeChambeau's use of Google Gemini to help fix his swing. Nobody can fathom any player other than Bryson needing to use AI in order to help figure out swing woes, but Andy thinks this may HELP his chances at Shinnecock. This episode wraps with a recap of the Men's NCAA Championships through Sunday, with the final individual round and the team match play still to come early this week.

The crew is back and kicking things off with a conversation about curfews, parenting, and whether the rules we grew up with still make sense today. From there, the guys catch up on Drake's latest releases and debate whether the music actually lived up to the anticipation. They also ask a tough question: Is Chris Brown at risk of oversaturating his catalog, or does he still have plenty left in the tank? Spence is feeling good with the Spurs back in the Finals, but not everyone understands why he's giving Chet Holmgren so much grace. The conversation expands into Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's place in Oklahoma City history and whether he's become more beloved than KD, Russ, and Harden ever were. Things take a much deeper turn as the guys discuss the business of slavery, the realities of other slave trades throughout history, and some of the uncomfortable truths that often get left out of the conversation. And then… the rails come off. The crew reacts to the leaked footage from Diddy's alleged “Freak Off” parties, leading to one of the wildest discussions of the episode.

Is the American middle-class is shrinking like the media tells us it is?  Russ and Peter examine various data points and perspectives. Listen in and think about how middle class definitions have evolved over time, considering factors like income, wealth, and lifestyle expectations. While statistical data shows the middle class has shrunk in relative terms, they debated whether this reflects genuine economic decline or simply greater economic polarization with more people moving to higher or lower income brackets. How do you feel about middle-class America?

A new CEO walks into a nightmare scenario: years of stock decline, growth that stalls, a major baby formula recall, and a shipment of Kit Kat bars that literally gets hijacked. That's the leadership crucible we unpack as we go inside Nestlé and pull out the decisions that matter when performance slips and public trust is on the line.Lone Rock Leadership co-founder Russ Hill talks through the first big lever: ruthless focus. Nestlé narrows the company's attention to four core areas (coffee, pet care, nutrition, and food and snacks) and starts shedding complexity that slows execution. From there, we get practical about what “speed” really means inside large organizations: reducing internal congestion, simplifying priorities, and making structural changes that let teams move without endless meetings and approval loops.Then Russ digs into accountability and performance management. We break down why “revenue growth” can be a mirage when it's driven by price hikes and how a metric like Real Internal Growth (RIG) forces leaders to face the truth: are we actually selling more units? If you lead teams through change, this is a clear blueprint for turning strategy into measurable results with a few meaningful KPIs.Subscribe for more leadership lessons you can use fast, share this with a colleague, and leave a review with your biggest takeaway.--Visit the Lone Rock Leadership Website:https://www.lonerock.ioConnect with me on LinkedIn or to send me a DM:https://www.linkedin.com/in/russleads/Tap here to check out my first book, Decide to Lead, on Amazon.

On this episode of The Ty Brady Way, Ty sits down with not one but two guests, Russ Gaiser and Mike Flick, co-founders of Retirement Income Headquarters of America, for a conversation that could genuinely change the way you think about retirement and the Social Security decisions most people get dangerously wrong. Russ and Mike come from different backgrounds, Russ from nine years of active duty Air Force and healthcare administration, Mike from systems analysis and human resources, but both arrived at the same conclusion independently: Social Security is most people's biggest pension, and almost nobody is treating it that way. They partnered to fill that gap, building a five-step proprietary planning process that meets people right at the doorstep of retirement and helps them use Social Security as the cornerstone of a plan built to last. The heart of the episode is a myth-busting deep dive into what most people get wrong. The first myth is that you can evaluate Social Security in a vacuum by running a simple break-even analysis for one person. In reality, for married couples especially, every decision ripples outward to affect spousal benefits, survivor benefits, and tax exposure in widowhood. Russ points out that 80% of men die married while 80% of women die single, with the average widow spending 15 years alone, often on a dramatically reduced income that gets taxed worse as a single filer. The second myth is that Social Security is going away entirely. Russ walks through why even in a worst-case scenario where Congress does nothing, roughly 80% of benefits would still be payable through payroll taxes, and why claiming early out of fear of missing out often means locking in a permanently smaller benefit. The third myth, and perhaps the most costly, is the assumption that you automatically receive half of your spouse's benefit. The reality involves a web of rules around full retirement age, early claiming reductions, and timing that most people never untangle on their own. Russ and Mike each share a client story that illustrates exactly what's at stake. Russ helped a divorced woman discover she qualified for a widower's benefit on her ex-husband's record, something Social Security never told her and wouldn't have, netting her roughly $60,000 she passed on to her children as a legacy. Mike helped a woman who had been flatly told by a Social Security office that she couldn't receive a divorced spouse benefit because she was still working. That was incomplete information. She ended up receiving over $13,000 in benefits she was told she couldn't have. Both stories share the same moral: the rules are complex, the SSA is not legally permitted to give advice, and the cost of not knowing is enormous. On the business side, Russ and Mike are equally sharp. Mike does a calendar audit, color-coding his week green for energy-giving activities like seeing clients, red for draining admin tasks that get delegated, and yellow for necessary obligations. Russ draws the distinction between being interested in excellence and being committed to it, arguing that when you feel the temptation to take shortcuts or deliver generic answers, that's precisely the moment you have to hold the line. Their closing message is direct: 77% of households surveyed by the National Institute on Retirement Security believed they would outlive their money. Russ and Mike's response to that stat is typically not a savings problem. It's a planning strategy problem. And the consultation to find out which one you're facing costs nothing.   As always, we would like to hear from you! Email us at thetybradyway@gmail.com

What if one skill could boost your income by 50% without changing your job, title, or hours? In this episode, Russ and Joey sit down with legendary speaker Joel Weldon, who has been paid over 3,000 times to speak and coach more than 10,000 entrepreneurs, executives, and business leaders. He breaks down why communication is one of the highest-paid skills in business, investing, leadership, and even family life.Joel also discusses the most common mistakes people make when communicating and how these can cost you deals, trust, and influence. He shares tips, including the power of the words “because,” “even,” and “you,” to make your message clear, memorable, and persuasive.Through real-life stories, Joel demonstrates how improving communication can directly impact your income and opportunities. If you want to influence more, close better deals, and get the results you deserve, you won't want to miss this.Top three things you will learn: -How to include everyone in your message-How to get meaningful feedback-How to connect authentically to influence decisionsAbout Our Guest:Joel Weldon is a renowned speaker and speaking skills coach. But he wasn't always an amazing speaker. His expertise came as a result of learning how to speak effectively after hearing an audience member say, "You are the worst speaker I have ever heard in my entire life." That feedback fueled his desire to develop his skill and become the ultimate speaker.Joel is also committed to health and fitness, spending over 60 days every year on the water (skiing, surfing, and “air-chairing” on a slalom course). He has been married to his high school sweetheart, Judy, for 59 years, has 2 daughters who work with him every day, and 4 wonderful grandchildren.Disclaimer: The opinions expressed on this podcast are solely those of the hosts and guests and do not constitute financial advice.
