And today I want to talk about a fun topic that I think a lot of you deal with.   and that's burnout. And I know we've talked about it before, I know we've talked about it in the past, and I know it's not a fun topic, but I think it's a fun one to help people not have.   I think burnout, I was listening to I have a podcast that I really enjoy. It's   Life Wisdom   by Words of Taoism. And I just love different mindsets, different perspectives, and   I think this ties really heavily into today's topic. And he was talking about how, like, so many of us are per burnout, and it's this feeling of like, I'm just spent, I'm just exhausted, like I can't do one other thing. And they were talking about how oftentimes it's not just about the work that we're doing. A lot of times it's not actually the work, it's the mental load that we're carrying or the things that we're carrying behind. And it's that is what I want to talk about today is.   like the burnout and how we can get our life back without sacrificing all of it and what this looks like and work life balance and the cliche around it. But when I started thinking of like all the pieces that we do carry the stress of a team, the workload of actually doing it, stress of our families, conversations, replaying conversations in our mind, wondering if we did things correctly, like did I check the books? Did I talk to this team member correctly? D what do I need to do? There's so much weight.   thinking about how oftentimes like we build these businesses, not to be prisoners of them, but to actually have freedom from them. And I think sometimes it feels cliche and it feels like we're getting the exact opposite of that. And so I wanted to talk about like why we get the burnout similar to that. Like we're caring so much. It's not the workload. I don't think most of us, I think a lot of us are fine. I think it's the how much we're caring, it's the subconscious caring that doesn't ever leave us alone. And so what causes that shift in an   Hopefully just some like three tactical shifts that help you get your time, your energy, and your life back. And burnout is a lot of times a conversation we have with a lot of doctors. And I think having a coach, having a guide, having someone in your corner can help prevent that burnout sooner and quicker because we're gonna be listening to it, watching it. And I think having a safe space where you can say, like, I'm exhausted, I'm tired, like I don't physically think I can do that anymore. And then somebody questioning and saying, All right, like there's other, there's a thousand other paths to do it. Let's look and let's find that solution where you don't have to do it.   But we're able to have other people there with you. and I just I think that burnout, I think stress, I think carrying it, it's at every size of practice. So please don't think like, well, people don't deal with this. No, they do. No, like there's highs and lows, everybody has it, that we've got days we've got more of it, we've got days that we have less of it. and I don't think it's like needing more motivation. I think it's like w what what do I actually do? And so kind of just going through that Dental A Team, we work with hundreds of offices across the nation.   Like we've seen it across the board. I've dealt with it. I'm a business owner. I'm a multi-million dollar owner. I've built practices, I've run dental practices, I've started my own business. I've gone from scratch up. I've sold. I mergers and acquisitions, selling to DSOs, you name it. I've been there, I've done that, I've done it a lot. I've done it in my own personal life. I've built multiple multiple businesses in my own. I've built my own personal brand. The things like let's talk, let's talk as business owners, let's talk about these different things. And so I think one of the biggest things that can help prevent this burnout is to stop being the solution to every problem.   I think that we carry this weight constantly of feeling like, especially founders who have built up from the ground up, feel like they've got to be the solution. You were. That's who you were. You had a GSD to get there. But that doesn't mean that's who you need to continue to be. And I'm I'm guilty of this. I watch Slack and I watch myself. And how often do I just jump in and solve a problem? Or I'm sitting in meetings and I know the answer, but just because I know the answer doesn't mean I need to raise my hand and answer. I need to have a team that can create solutions. I need to have a team that genuinely can do it.   Because I genuinely believe one of the fastest paths is being the answer for everything. team members are like, how to know if this is the case is you got team members who are constantly coming to you. Every decision requires your approval and you are solving problems all day long, even minimal problems. And I know I'm guilty of this in my own company. I watch it and I'm like, why are they asking me for that? Like, how do I give them the permission to not need that? And I need to just let them be dependent. And   Let them be independent and not dependent on me. I think when I see teams very dependent on an owner, including myself, I think people being exhausted. I think the practice that can't function without you, can they handle these decisions without you? But also there you think there's a flip side of can you handle them making mistakes? Can you handle letting go of the control? Can you handle if things break? I remember me and a dear colleague, we were having a very spicy conversation and I was like, what?   You want me like sign off on these things and let our reputation get destroyed? I was very sassy that day. This was just like six months ago. You guys, this was not like young Kiera. This was real life Kiera. And she's like, no, Kiera, we're not like just gonna let our reputation fall apart. She said, but you do need to have things like she sent me a decision matrix and she said, You've got to make decisions like which ones really are going to destroy our business, and which ones do you need to realize are not going to destroy and you need to stop being involved in those.   And to have somebody who's willing to push back on me like that, I was so appreciative of because she's like, Kiera, you're sitting here making decisions about cards and branding. That isn't like we're not gonna destroy it. And she's like, I understand in the past that might not have been the case, but guess what? If something goes wrong, your team's gonna fix it. But you have to let them, you have to trust them. Otherwise, you're forever gonna be held in bottleneck, choke hold burnout. And I think when I hear that, I think about the monkey who.   puts their hand in the hole and they hold on to the nut and they can't get their hand out and they end up getting trapped. And I think about how many business owners with burnout have their hand holding on so tightly to control and wanting everything perfect that they don't let go of it that they end up suffocating themselves and burning out when it didn't necessarily need to be that way. So when I look at like doctors and how much are you answering and office managers, how much are you answering   versus how much is your team able to do? This doctor I was in, we were looking at like etching glass and the team found some cool things on Etsy and the doctor's like, yep, sign off stamp. You guys do it. I know you're gonna do a great job. And it's not something where they're gonna check over their shoulder. No, if it doesn't look good, of course they're gonna say something, but that's such a small decision with such small ramifications versus they're building out the entire construction of the business on the other side. Two very different pieces. Like what is the ramification long term? And so   When you're looking at it, I would say   But number one, when questions come to you, start to ask your team what solutions do you think are we can do for this? And then trust them and let them run with it. Second, for yourself, in meetings, stop being the answer to everything. And then third, just look to see like what's one, two, three, four items that you don't need to give an answer to. Just sit and watch and observe. And I think for me, I almost like have the visual putting my hands, like sitting on my hands and pretend or pretend my hands have glue on them and they're stuck together.   If I couldn't do anything, would my team be able to handle this without me? And I think it's a good test to see how much they're actually able to do. Anytime I go on vacation, I completely check out and I come back and I'm shocked at how good they can do. And I think reminding myself that my team wants to make me proud, that they can answer these things, that I don't need to answer it for them, trusting them they're gonna have better ideas than me. And again, them doing 80% of the work is better than me doing 100% of it. And so I think a great way for you to look at like,   Start asking your team to bring solutions. You can even roll it out that guys, I'm not, I'm not great at this. So please, like everybody, this is my ask. This is my goal for the next six months. Put a bracelet on, whatever you got to do to remind yourself. Like, I literally have a bracelet this year that says no. And that's to remind me, like, no, like, don't do that. Don't say yes to this. Like, let your team flourish. Let go of that control, trust. Because honestly, as a team member, that's the greatest thing your your boss can ever do for you, is to give you the trust and the confidence into.   Let you flourish. That's where people love to work. No one loves to work when they're being micromanaged. And I know I'm guilty of this. So my team listening, I'm sorry. And just know that I'm hyper aware of it, actively participating in letting go of that. And genuinely, I know my team will do far better than I ever. Like they want to make me proud. Our team is such a great team. And your team's the same way. So let them stop stopping the solution to every problem. The second thing to help prevent this burnout that's tactical is.   have boundaries around your time. And this is something I learned early on. I used to work sun up to sundown, seven days a week, on holidays, on weekends. And I think we protect our production time. Like you better believe I ask you for a meeting. Do you how many offices come in? They to coach and they want to solve their problems. But like, but don't do my calls during during production time. I'll talk to you on my drive home. And I'm like, hard pass? No. You're blocking out two hours a month during production time because I know you're gonna be way more proactive. And I'm probably gonna do like   In the morning. You are not running through our meetings and you better be on time to every single meeting. Otherwise, don't sign up for coaching. Like hard and fast. If you can't give me two hours to work on the business, you are not prepared to do coaching because you're not going to implement anything. I'm not talking to you on your drive home. Like, sorry, that's just not where it's going to be. You product your production time, but you don't product your personal time. And both are equally important in my opinion. So, like, are you working through lunch all the time? Are you answering messages at night? Are you h working every single weekend? Do you have this constant mental load that never shuts off on you?   And what I found is you gotta block CEO time where you work on the business during your week. Every time I'm getting stressed out, Marissa and I and Shelbi, we look at the schedule and it's like, Kiera had no time to work on the business. This is why she's stressed out. It's a non-negotiable for me. That is the rock. That is the number one thing that goes in the schedule. Non-negotiable. Then after that, like I have family time. I have a date night. And our team, we made it all like a very conscious effort that like after five, we don't do work. I'm not gonna say it's perfect and I'm not gonna say you have to have that because sometimes working.   Like sometimes I get up at three in the morning and I'm freaking lit and I'm jazzing. It's not depleting for me. That's not burnout. That's working and it's passionate. So it's not a like hard and fast, no one can work. Because sometimes we do want to, but there's there's a conscious shutoff. And so I look at it, I try hard not to send slacks after five o'clock at night. I can schedule those for the next morning. Like shut my email off, take it off of my phone. Don't have Slack and emails on your phone. And really truly be intentional. So   I actually have a box. This came from a friend. she has a really cool box, and that box no longer is being made, otherwise, I'd share it with you. So I bought a like nice $5 box from Target. It's a white box, it's pretty, it sits on my counter, and that's my phone box. So when I'm done with work, so at five o'clock and I have something where I've got to go, like go for a walk with my husband, have something that I'm looking forward to, have a set end time. my phone my watch comes off and my phone goes off and it goes in the box and I leave and I completely disconnect. Now, for a lot of us, I can feel like a heart palpitation.   There's also, I think it's called the brick where you can brick your phone where it turns back into like a brick phone, where honestly there's like calling and messaging, and that's all you have. There's no other apps or anything like that, and you can set it up. for me, I just stick it in the box. And what's really awesome is to be able to disconnect. On the weekends, phone's completely off. Like I'm a princess wife and my husband has his phone and he loves it. And I leave my phone. I leave it plugged in. I don't take it with me.   Because I need a complete disconnect. When I go on vacations, it's a hundred percent offline. I love to go out of the country for that reason because I'm out o offline and I know it's gonna charge me more to to talk to people. Now I know some of you have kiddos and whatnot, but the more you can have blocked family time, blocked CEO time, blocked personal recharge time, and you protect all three of those equally, you will actually feel like like even that, like I feel like this breath of fresh air.   It's and again, it's not about being perfect, it's about being consistent. So you might miss in one week you're gonna have a lot more. But our consultants, they're working for such long hours and we set a quarterly rock that all of us would get out at five o'clock. And every week we actually start asking, like, how is it? And it's shocking. We have seven consultants, and I've been watching all of them start to trend more and more and more to personal life. I've also watched happiness levels increase across our consultant team. I've watched burnout become less and less, and they're still able to take care of their clients, they're still able to work with their   Teams, they're still able to get their things done. We just consolidate. We also started having it where like every Monday people list off how many hours they have available for the week. Like, hey, how many hours do you have? Looking at the schedule, who's got time? And then we're using each other within the department to help each other out. So that way people aren't getting burnt out. We've got people who have hours of time. They're not as busy. You might have an assistant or a hygienist who's not as busy. What do people have on their workload? Can we share the workload with each other? Can we pass out the recare list, the reactivation list? Like, how can we do this to where we all get out at five? We're all committed to it.   Let's all work together as a team. Let's all get our pieces done so that way we're all together. But I think for you, don't answer messages at night. If you knew I'd pay you a million dollars for the next month, okay? Million dollars is on the line. For the next month, you didn't do any work after five. I'll give you till 5.15 because your patients might go. 515 and on the weekends you're not touching work. Would you do it for a month? A million dollars is on the line. And I know every one of you would say yes to me. So if you're gonna say yes to that,   Your life is worth more than a million dollars. Your health is worth more than a million dollars. So you do have a million dollars on the line for you. I'm not paying you. You're paying yourself this. So create those boundaries and dedicate this time. For me, I do have on the weekends. I've got one hour, two hours. I'm gonna block my week on Sundays. Like I do that. That's part of it. I'm okay with that. That's something that I don't take away from my family. Jason knows it. We're good. I've got it. But it allows me to decompress and I'm able to be there present with him. I literally.   Control my calendar. So my calendar doesn't control me. I am actively creating my life and man, I'm not managing my circumstances. I'm creating my life. So for you, I used to think like working harder was better. No, there's a place to work hard and there's a place to play hard and there's a place to sleep hard and there's a place to rest hard. All of those are important. So block your CEO time and guard that. Block your family time and guard that. Block your personal recharge time and block and like honor all three of those equally.   You're doing it with your production, so I know you're capable of doing it. Shut off, be done at five. Go give yourself that freedom. And like even me saying that, I feel this weight come off my shoulders. So I would say schedule those three non-negotiable blocks of time every single week. Treat it like production time, non-negotiable. You will be shocked at the life you will get back and the burnout will go away very quickly. Now, you might be like me, there was one summer I was completely burnt out. I sent I slept 17 hours a day for almost an entire month.   Sometimes we're so far into the burnout phase that we have to give some massive recharge. And like just taking this isn't going to be enough. You might have to schedule in a week off or you just sleep nonstop. But once we get to that point, and I'd say don't wait to that point. Like let's start doing some things proactively now. it is capable, it is doable. And these are some tactical things that I would say put it in now. Let's put some guardrails in and let's protect that very, very, very strongly. And then number three is build a practice that supports your life.   So and we always say that your business should serve your life, not the other way around. And so like I think you should just ask yourself and like it's okay, pull out the crayons, like let's get the canvas back out. What do you want your life to look like? And we do this with our doctors when they start with us, like how many days do you want to work? What kind of a schedule do you want? What role do you want long term, like in one year, three year, 10 year? And then let's put into place and start making your practice work for you. So if you tell me I only want three days, fantastic, let's work for it.   What is our bam? What's our production? Let's build this just a math equation. And I love because math always maths. So let's just build it. What does it need to look like? And what I've watched is when people are living their dream life when they're having it. Now, ego plays. For me, I keep saying, like, I only want to work three days. But my ego is so strong and she really wants to be just important. So I need something to fill that time that's equally as important. I have Jace and I now have a side gig that we do on Fridays together. And it makes it to where like I have a set thing that   full like fuels me, fuels my spouse. and we do it on Fridays together. And so I do. I've got I've got other CEO responsibilities that are not Dental A Team specific. But even if I didn't have something else, that's okay as a CEO. You're allowed to to have your business, serve your life. You do not need to work constantly. You are allowed to have whatever life you want. And so let's let's put those systems into place. Let's have leaders in place that are freaking thriving on it and they want to do this. Let's like make our decisions based on vision, not on guilt.   Like that's what we're gonna do. And so you can reduce your clinical days. We can hire people for that. me and a doctor were working and we just created this like awesome two year vision. I'm so pumped. I was like, okay, in two years, like let's build this. Like, what's your tenure? And I was like, sweet, let's build it into a two year. To be able to help people see it. Sometimes we can't see that. Sometimes we don't think we're worthy of it. Sometimes we I don't know. I think we just get in a rut and robotic and then we just forget that, like, no, no, no, we're the creators of our lives, not the managers of them. You get to create this.   You didn't build yourself a prison. You build yourself freedom. But it depends on which route you're gonna go and if you're actually gonna live it. So you've got to have your practice supporting your life, not the other way around. So I want you to look down, like what your, you can write down what your ideal work looks like, what it's gonna look like in one year, three years, ten years, and then like let's just work backwards. Some of you get so stuck and you're like, I don't know, how do I get my team bought into it? Your team wants you to thrive.   Your ego wants you to just survive. Like it's usually ego that keeps us there. It's not really our team. It's not all those excuses we tell ourselves. It's not that mental load that we're carrying constantly. That mental load is heavy. It's a constant guilt running and guilt's not serving. It's just keeping you stuck. So if you've been feeling exhausted, overwhelmed, trapped, or even none of those, like I just want you to know you're not alone. Let's put into place these safeguards. Let's let's have this where number one, we're going to stop being the solution to every problem. Number two,   We're gonna create those boundaries around our personal time and we're gonna block them like we do our production time. We're gonna honor them, we're gonna value them. It's our CEO time, our family time, and our personal recharge time. Block those. And then we're gonna build a practice that truly supports our life. And we're gonna be so committed and know that we deserve every ounce of this. And we're we are so committed that we're gonna get it. Non-negotiable. Pretend a million dollars, billion dollars, whatever you want, your dream car, your dream vacation, whatever it is, it's on the line. If you'll just show up for yourself. I think so often burnout comes because we're not willing to.   Reduce the load. I think a lot of it is self-induced, and then I think a lot of it is just habit. We've been doing it for so long that we don't know a different path. But I will say that other path is always there. The HOV lane is always open. Let's get over into that HOV lane. Let's start doing things easier. You deserve it. You are a billion dollar asset. Treat yourself like it. You guys have this. You don't have to work harder. You just need to have it be a like we've had one formula and it's been running. There's nothing wrong with it. But if we want a different life, there's another formula that we can start running, and I'd encourage you to do so.   So that's what we do. We help you build leadership teams. We help you build your vision. We help get your team bought into that vision. We could give you the permission to shut off at five. We tell you, like, stop, grab a PA, like a personal assistant, hire this person. Like these things you don't have to do. You're welcome to keep doing it. There's no force on our side. There's no judgment on our side. There's just love and unconditional love to make sure you are taken care of. So reach out. I'd love to help you. You can grow your business and you don't have to sacrifice your life. It's not one or the other. It can be an and. And I hope you choose that. And I hope you know you're worthy of it. I hope you know you're worth it.   And I hope you know that it is possible. So come be a part of it. There's so many of our doctors that live their best lives. I got one doctor who's a million-dollar practice working three days a week, wants nothing more than that, and is so freaking happy and is an incredible leader. I have another doctor. They work four days a week. They got a three and a half million dollar practice. Incredible, incredible. They could build another location. They don't want to. We got it set up for their kids, their life. They're on vacation. They're able to serve and get back to their community. Whatever your life is, it's doable for you. I've got others that have like five locations and they're so happy with it.   Whatever your life is, it's doable. So let's make it, let's create it, let's not manage it. You guys, I'm proud of you. I'm proud of the life you're living. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team podcast.

"Time management is not something you're born with or born without. It's a skill that anybody can learn if they're being taught in a reasonable way." In this episode, Heather and Megan Sumrell explore what it means to stop fighting time and start building a life that actually has room for you to live. So many of us approach planning from a place of pressure, trying to squeeze more into every available pocket of time, sacrifice sleep to catch up, or follow rigid systems that were never designed around our actual lives. But creating a calm, organized life isn't about becoming more productive; it's about building enough structure to protect what matters while leaving space for the unexpected, the people we love, and the parts of ourselves that can't be scheduled. Learn how to let go of the shame of not doing it all, increase your capacity instead of constantly playing catch-up, and redefine productivity so that the white space in your calendar becomes part of the life you're creating. What to listen for: ☑️ Getting into a relationship with time rather than always trying to "beat it" ☑️ The sooner we learn to build ourselves back into our lives, the better we'll feel ☑️ Why the way you're planning might be keeping you perpetually behind   "Learning how to create a plan that supports enough structure to ensure important things are getting done while also leaving space to absorb life and the reality of life, that's really the sweet spot." ☑️ Releasing the shame and pressure we put on ourselves to plan perfectly ☑️ Sacrificing your sleep is not the way to create more time, and what to do instead ☑️ Why you should never follow someone else's rigid morning routine   "A successful tool or system is one where the steps that you follow are the same for everybody, but the inputs are uniquely yours, and the outputs are uniquely yours." ☑️ Goal setting is a waste of time when you don't have control of your daily life ☑️ How to increase your capacity so that you don't begin each week already behind ☑️ Teaching our children time management skills so they can thrive   "The stuff that's important to me is represented on my calendar and protected to ensure I can get them done. But my identity is in all the white space on my calendar." ☑️ Breaking the belief that you have to be productive in your open pockets of time ☑️ Learning to think like someone who knows how to create a calm, organized life ☑️ Building a full life that isn't stressful or constantly overbooked About Megan Sumrell: Megan Sumrell is a former corporate executive turned entrepreneur.  As a business owner, mom, and wife, she knows exactly how hard it is to juggle #allthethings while still maintaining your own sense of self and purpose.

Planning your personal life before your business calendar is not a lifestyle hack. It is the strategy that actually makes the business worth building in the first place.Morgan sits down with Dale Beaumont, founder of Business Blueprint and author of 19 books, to break down the Preloaded Year framework that changed everything about how he builds his business and his life. Dale shares why most entrepreneurs have the order completely backwards, how he went from sleeping six hours a night and still feeling miserable to building a multimillion dollar business while taking four holidays a year, and why structure is not the enemy of freedom but the very thing that creates it.The conversation also unpacks how to plan revenue goals around your life rather than squeezing life into whatever is left of your business calendar, and why doing this consistently over 15 years is how real wealth actually compounds.Listen To The Full Episode Here → https://open.spotify.com/episode/4rgvctcqVZvhNdHbV4hQyZ?si=0E5m29NGR8et786zKiTebgDream Fest Registration

Having kids can change your borrowing power, your goals, and even your property strategy. This couple reveal how they balance building a portfolio with creating the life they actually want. n The Smart Property Investment Show, Liam Garman sits down with property investors Jason and Jami-Lee Titus to discuss the realities of growing a portfolio while starting and raising a family. The couple share why they regularly reset their financial and personal goals, and the difference between the properties they want to buy and the life those investments are actually designed to create. They also discuss the pressure to keep up with friends, social media, and other investors, and why constantly comparing your progress to someone else's can push you towards goals that were never yours. The conversation then turns to borrowing capacity and the financial reality of having children, including how a drop in household income can dramatically change what investors can borrow and how aggressively they can invest. Jason and Jami-Lee also reveal how communication has helped them navigate competing priorities, from investment decisions to lifestyle goals, and why building a property portfolio shouldn't come at the expense of the life you're trying to build.

Her inclusive workforce has helped make the company 28% more efficient, maintain virtually zero employee turnover, and build a waitlist of 94 people seeking employment.The conversation also explores how Fueled by AF expanded through Amazon and retail, including why certain products perform better online, how convenience stores can offer emerging brands an advantage over crowded grocery aisles, and how networking and accelerator programs helped Angelica add more than 100 retail locations.In today's episode of the Harvest Growth Podcast, we cover:How Angelica turned homemade Ironman snacks into a growing food brandWhy profitability is essential for building a sustainable mission-driven businessHow inclusive hiring made Fueled by AF 28% more efficientWhy Angelica maintains the same standards for every employeeHow better systems can help employees with different abilities succeedWhy Fueled by AF waited to launch on Amazon and focused on the right productsThe key differences between marketing through Amazon and physical retailWhy convenience stores can outperform grocery stores for emerging snack brandsHow networking and accelerator programs helped secure more than 100 retail locationsHow AF Manufacturing Group helps small food brands move from the kitchen to larger-scale productionIf you're building a purpose-driven company, expanding a consumer product brand, or trying to balance meaningful impact with sustainable growth, this episode offers practical guidance for creating a business that can help more people as it becomes more profitable.Want to connect with Angelica?Visit FueledByAFSnacks.com to explore Fueled by AF's protein bites and premium nut butters.

Parenting doesn't come with a manual, and for ambitious entrepreneurs, balancing career success with family life can feel like an impossible challenge. In this solo episode, Travis Chappell reflects on parenting lessons he's gathered from conversations with world-class guests including Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal, while sharing his own experiences as a father. He explores why success at work shouldn't come at the expense of your family—and why giving up on your dreams isn't the answer either. On this episode we talk about: Why work-life balance is less about balance and more about recognizing different seasons of life. The danger of telling yourself you're working "for your family" while sacrificing meaningful time with them. Lessons on presence and intentional parenting from Joe Gatto, Jordan Harbinger, and Shaquille O'Neal. How your daily habits teach your children what relationships, priorities, and success look like. Practical ways to be fully present both at work and at home without feeling guilty. Top 3 Takeaways Success and great parenting aren't mutually exclusive. The goal isn't choosing work or family—it's being fully present wherever you are. Children value your attention more than your achievements. Small moments of undivided time often matter more than expensive experiences or material success. Pursue your own dreams while investing intentionally in your family. Both your career and your relationships require deliberate effort, and neglecting either creates long-term consequences. Notable Quotes "Wherever your feet are, be there." "Your kids don't care. They just want to spend some time with you." "Protect, provide, and love. Two out of three isn't enough."

FAI creation is an essential element of quality control programs but can consume a significant amount of time. In this webinar, we will discuss a tool that consolidates all requirements into an accountability checklist, keeping drawing and inspection sheets in sync. Automatically capture sheet and zone and identify Bill of Materials (BOM) and specifications for a complete and accurate report. This software exports a professional ballooned print as a PDF and can output to your customized Excel spreadsheet. In this session, we'll go over how to reduce quality escapes that occur from overlooking requirements. Failing results are flagged in real-time and any missing required FAIR AS9102 data is also flagged for compliance to the standard. Easily renumber balloon sequencing and change between Imperial and Metric units as required by your customers. Learn how to seamlessly import your CMM data to validate each result and easily flag non-conformances. Use any CMM in your shop to create result data and automatically populate the Designed Tooling. The tool we discuss will assist you in keeping up with the growing prevalence of 3D modeling in manufacturing. Using the Product Manufacturing Information (PMI) of the model, this software extracts the geometry and notes from the model to create views with ballooned data and exports to the inspection sheet. In this webinar, you will learn how to: Error-proof each FAI for accuracy and customer approval. Eliminate the need for manual data entry. Use your CMM output to populate FAI actuals. Address your customer's requirement for MBD. PRESENTER: Jeffrey C.

In this bonus episode of the All About Beer Podcast, Chris Meadows, Head of Brewery Operations at Peaceful Side Brewery in Maryville, Tennessee, shares how Hopsteiner's advanced hop products helped the brewery reformulate two flagship beers while achieving improvements in cost, yield, shelf stability, and flavor.IPA's are a double edge sword for most breweries. IPA's sell the most but are often more expensive to make and distribute sustainably. By tweaking a few key ingredients, Peaceful Side Brewing was able to reduce production cost and routinely gain an additional 1.5 to 2 barrels of finished beer from each production run.By adding Salvo® and SalvoPlus® the American IPA's dry-hop load fell from approximately 60 pounds into the 40-pound range. With less vegetative material entering the brewery, Peaceful Side experiences smaller trub loads, improved wort and beer recovery, easier cleaning, faster transfers and less water used for rinsing.Most importantly, the beer has improved. In blind internal tastings, participants consistently preferred the reformulated versions. The American IPA gained a clearer grapefruit-and-citrus direction, more balanced bitterness and a cleaner finish without the lingering astringency of the previous recipe.Meadows also credits the reduced hop load and shorter tank exposure with slowing oxidation and keeping the beers tasting fresher for longer.“Consumer response has been overwhelmingly positive, and sales have increased—even though Peaceful Side never promoted the recipe changes to the general public,” says Meadows.Visit AllAboutBeer.com for more podcasts, to read original articles, and to get info on upcoming events.This Episode is Sponsored by:HopsteinerLet's talk brewhouse efficiency: Replacing pellet loads with Salvo cannot only boost aroma density, but reduce trub load and increase beer wart. Seems like simple math, but if it is still not obvious— replacing pellets with Salvo can give you MORE BEER per batch with BETTER brewhouse efficiency. Salvo —designed for brewers who are tired of sacrificing yield for aroma Explore flavor solutions at shop.hopsteiner.com.All About BeerAt All About Beer, we're honored to share the stories that define the beer community, and we couldn't do it without the generous support of our underwriting sponsors.

Daily Boost Podcast No One Is Coming to Save You July 24, 2026 | Episode 5505 Host: Scott Smith Episode Description Can I give you a little real truth this morning? Not the shiny, feel-good kind — the kind that actually sets you free. Some folks won't want to hear it, but I think you're ready. Today I'm walking you through the handful of things I want you to realize the second your feet hit the floor. They're not soft. They're honest. And once they land in you, everything you're carrying starts to feel lighter. This one might sting a little going in. But stick with me, because freedom is waiting on the other side. Press play and let's get real. Featured Story A client said something to me the other day I can't shake. He told me, sometimes in my business I feel like crabs in a pot. I try to climb out, and the ones still down in the boiling water reach up, grab my legs, and pull me right back in. What a picture, right? I sat with that one. Because that's exactly how it works. You start reaching for your future — something better, something bigger — and the people still stuck in the pot don't cheer you on. They pull. Not because they're cruel. Because misery loves company, your job is to keep climbing anyway. Important Points Nobody got out of bed this morning planning to save you, and accepting that is the most freeing thing you'll do today. You built the cage you're living in, so take full responsibility for exactly where you are before you try to change it. Get willing to sacrifice some of your comfort now, because you can't become someone new while clinging to who you are. Memorable Quotes Nobody's going to save you, and that should be freeing, not scary — it means you get to take care of it yourself. You define what you want by what you're willing to sacrifice, and if you won't trade for it, you don't want it. One of my jobs is to give you the keys to your own cage, but you built it, so you're the one who has to open it. Scott's Three-Step Approach First, wake up and admit nobody is coming to save you, so whatever needs fixing today is now yours alone to handle. Next, take full responsibility for exactly where you are, since you built this position and only you can rebuild it. Then decide what you'll actually trade to become who you want, and put that sacrifice into motion starting this morning.

I want to talk about what took Leonardo da Vinci 16 years and at least 30 layers of paint to create, and what that has to do with the life you're building right now. The Mona Lisa is not famous despite its layers of mistakes and revisions. It is famous because of them. In this episode, I break down why the struggles, failures, and seasons where nothing seems to work are not obstacles to your legacy. They are the actual material your legacy is made from. If your goal is to be legendary, you cannot afford to keep treating your hardest chapters like something to bury. Key Takeaways Greatness takes time. Sacrificing legacy for immediacy is one of the most costly trades you can make. Your mistakes and setbacks are not liabilities. They are layers that create a texture nobody else can replicate. The biggest smiles are built on the most tears. What you have been through gives you a perspective and depth that others cannot copy. Your current difficult season is not your final form. It is the foundation being built beneath what the world will eventually see. Do not bury your failures. Own them, because nobody can take your lived experience from you. Action Steps Identify one past failure or painful experience and write down one specific insight or strength it gave you that you could not have gained any other way. Audit where you are rushing something important for the sake of completion rather than letting it become great. Commit to the longer timeline. The next time something does not work out, say out loud: 'This is a layer, not a loss.' Interrupt the habit of treating setbacks as reasons to quit. Notable Quote I love the mistakes because nobody can take them from me. I love overcoming the failures because nobody can take it from you.

Trevor Giampa doesn't call himself the best hybrid athlete — he says there's no such competition. He just refuses to accept the idea that chasing a goal in the gym has to cost him a goal on the course.In this episode of The Running Effect Podcast, Dominic sits down with Trevor to unpack six years of all-out hybrid training and the results that have people convinced he must be cheating: a 2:28 Boston Marathon and a 315-pound bench in the same week, treadmill marathons followed by 15+ reps at 225, and 100-mile weeks paired with powerlifter-style strength work.Trevor makes the case that "hybrid athlete = mediocre at both" is a myth, that antagonistic goals aren't really antagonistic if you build for them, and that your genetics improve the harder and longer you work. He's done it all as a natural athlete who has never had a sip of coffee, a drink of alcohol, or a single PED — and he explains why the constant doping accusations only fuel his mission to show people what a natural body is capable of.They also get into his diet (max protein, max carbs, ground beef and rice, venison, kiwis for vitamin C), his recovery philosophy (build a bigger capacity, skip the gadgets), his gym split, the caffeine debate, his move into ultras, and how his Catholic faith became the center of his content and his goals. 00:00 — Welcome & the late-night recording sacrifice00:36 — How Trevor defines a "hybrid athlete"01:05 — Real hybrid athlete vs. chasing social media clout02:11 — Nick Bear, the BPN community, and breaking the "mediocre at both" stereotype04:28 — His most impressive feat: 2:28 Boston Marathon + 315 bench in the same week05:13 — What's harder, running or lifting?

Welcome back to The Catholic Coaching Podcast with Matt and Erin! In Episode 305, we are continuing our sub-series on how different temperaments navigate healthy, holy conflict resolution. Today, we are putting the "Peaceful Phlegmatic" in the hot seat. Have you ever walked away from a difficult conversation feeling relieved that it's over, only to realize later that you never actually said what you needed to say? Phlegmatics possess an incredible superpower: they are naturally calm under pressure, patient, and excellent mediators. However, their deep aversion to rocking the boat can lead them to use "assuming goodwill" or quick compliance as an escape hatch to avoid the discomfort of real, arduous conversations.In this episode, Matt and Erin walk through the 4-part PACE framework (Pause, Assume Goodwill, Clarify, Engage) specifically tailored for Phlegmatics:• The difference between true, lasting peace and temporary emotional relief.• How Phlegmatics inadvertently confuse "processing" an emotion with completely suppressing or ignoring it.• Practical scripts and strategies for bringing your honest thoughts to the table during the Clarify phase.• Why a passive-aggressive "yes" hurts relationships, and how to practice the virtue of fortitude to build stable, reliable harmony.As St. Thomas Aquinas famously said, "The things that we love tell us what we are." Phlegmatics, do you love true relational peace, or are you settling for mere relief?If you enjoyed this episode, please drop a like, subscribe, and share it with a friend who needs to hear it!Send us Fan MailSupport the show____________________► Make sure to SUBSCRIBE to the Metanoia Catholic YouTube Channel!► Discover How God Is Speaking to You In Prayer► Find out your temperament: Take the Free Quiz► Get the Conversation Starter Guide (FREE) ► Take the Quiz: WHAT TYPE OF COACH ARE YOU?► GET THE DAILY SEVEN JOURNAL!This interactive journal will help you transform your life from the inside out by teaching you how to grow in gratitude, set healthy goals, and gain mastery over your thoughts.► JOIN THE ACADEMY!Your online resource of classes, tools, and community to ramp up your growth and really change your life.

Send us Fan MailBefore Nicole Hulstein began her role as Loyalty Campaign Development Manager at Food Lion, she worked in category management for the grocery chain, primarily focused on produce. And while there might not seem to be a very close connection between loyalty programs and produce, Hulstein sees her former role with the company influencing her approach to her current role. "That background really helped shape how I think about loyalty today,” Hulstein said. “The experience in produce really helped me to understand the product side, the customer side, and the importance of delivering both quality and value and really leaning into my merchant mindset to deliver those things.” Food Lion is an omnichannel grocery retailer with more than 1,100 grocery store locations, operating over a 10-state footprint on the East Coast. Headquartered in Salisbury, North Carolina, the grocery chain was founded in 1957.

Can a lifelong discovery writer write faster and embrace structure without losing the magic? Bestselling author Grace Draven wrote 62,000 words in 21 days and says absolutely.In this episode, Grace shares how the tools and mindset shifts she picked up from The Fiction Writing Made Easy podcast helped her write faster, avoid massive rewrites, and finish one of her strongest books, The Moon Raven—drafting 62,000 words in just 21 days to hit a tight preorder deadline—and why that experience convinced her to join Notes to Novel. After publishing more than 20 books and hitting the USA Today bestseller list five times, Grace explains why even experienced authors benefit from refining their process, and why structure isn't the creativity killer so many writers fear it is.Whether you're a proud pantser, a frustrated discovery writer, or someone looking for a faster, more reliable way to finish your novel, this conversation shows what's possible when you pair your natural creative process with the right story structure tools that I teach in Notes to Novel. Here's what we talk about:[08:00] Why thinking in scenes instead of chapters completely changed Grace's writing process and helped her write more efficiently without sacrificing creativity.[12:55] How Grace fast drafted 62,000 words in just 21 days, met a high-pressure preorder deadline, and still delivered a solid book.[18:41] How structure became a safety net that let Grace write around interruptions and a demanding home life without losing her place (or her creativity). [23:30] What happened when Grace her antagonist first (before fleshing out her protagonist)—and how this helped raise the stakes and eliminate unnecessary rewrites.[29:38] How the tools from Notes to Novel gave Grace the confidence to commit to a delivery schedule with her new multi-book publishing deal.If you've ever worried that outlining will make your writing feel formulaic or that your discovery writing process slows you down, this episode will show you how to write faster and build a process that leaves room for the magic instead of squeezing it out.

Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson, the sixth Chabad Rebbe, was one of the most fascinating and impactful Jewish leaders of the early 20th century. The Rebbe began his leadership role as a teenager, spanning the final decades of the Russian Empire, World War I, the Russian Revolution, the Stalinist Soviet Union, World War II and finally in the United States during and immediately after the war. A discussion about Rabbi Yosef Yitzchak Schneerson and his fascinating life story. 

Wanting to change your body composition as an athlete is common. Knowing how to do it without tanking your performance is a different story. Krissy, Kelly, and Kelsey get into what body recomposition means for performance, why being your leanest is almost never the same as performing your best, and why the slower and less dramatic the process is, the better. They cover how to periodize your nutrition around your training season, what a realistic body recomp timeline actually looks like, why performance does not improve infinitely as body fat decreases, and why the athlete you are comparing yourself to on social media has probably been training for ten-plus years to look that way. This one is specifically for people who train for a purpose. If your primary goal is performance, this conversation will change how you think about the relationship between your body and your sport.

Get the full PM Trends 2026 Report free at https://pmtrends.com/ (no email gate).Are you leaving money on the table with your current owner clients? Probably. And are you investing enough in AI discoverability? Probably not.Jordan Muela is back, this time to talk about the 2026 PM Trends Report - based on data from a Harris Poll survey of 500+ landlords covering everything from why they hire (and fire) property managers to what services they'd actually pay extra for.We discuss:(00:01:06) - Welcoming Jordan back to the show(00:02:12) - The PM Trends report(00:07:18) - How owners can upsell(00:15:20) - Sponsor - Haven AI(00:16:49) - The Boomer shift of ownership to Millennials and Gen X(00:23:32) - Response time expectations(00:31:59) - Stress reduction in marketing(00:33:46) - Sponsor - Enterprise Bank & Trust(00:35:10) - Cash flow as the primary reason to hire a PM(00:39:24) - Discounted monthly rents in exchange for on-time payments(00:46:40) - Sacrificing cash flow for a better renting experience for tenants(00:51:00) - Educating owners and landlords(00:55:20) - Finding a PM in the age of AI(01:01:46) - Takeaways from running the PM Trends reportWe dig into the owner benefit package opportunity: seven services (asset management, tenant damage protection, instant rent payments, lost rent protection, and more) that 41–51% of owners said they'd pay above their base management fee to get. The software constraints are real, the billing paradigm is frustrating, but the demand is clearly there.We also get into the generational shift happening right now (millennials are 44 percentage points more likely to use professional PM than boomers), what landlords actually expect in terms of response time (spoiler: within 30 minutes, most channels), and how to position PM around stress reduction and cash flow - the two factors that drive hiring decisions by a 2-to-1 margin over time and risk.Plus: 75% of owners plan to use ChatGPT or similar tools to find their next property manager.

Even if you think your nonprofit is doing well, we've found you could be doing much better. However, most nonprofits don't have a clear development strategy that keeps them grounded.

The bipartisan support for a contempt vote against the Clintons was not a sudden outbreak of moral clarity in Washington, but a calculated strategic move. Democrats understand that precedent is everything, and by allowing scrutiny of figures within their own party, they are laying the groundwork to pursue Donald Trump once he is out of office. Sacrificing the old guard sends a message that no one is untouchable, which strengthens the argument for future investigations into Trump on issues including Jeffrey Epstein. This is less about loyalty and more about long-term positioning. By demonstrating a willingness to hold their own accountable, Democrats insulate themselves from accusations of hypocrisy when they eventually turn their focus toward Trump.At the same time, Epstein survivors risk once again being sidelined in a broader political chess match. While Democrats frame their actions as a pursuit of justice, the deeper motivation appears tied to strategic leverage rather than survivor-centered accountability. Republicans gain spectacle, Democrats gain precedent, and both parties maneuver for advantage. Meanwhile, the people most harmed by Epstein's crimes are invoked rhetorically but remain secondary to partisan objectives. The result is a familiar pattern: power politics driving the narrative, while true systemic accountability remains elusive.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

CJ Appenzeller built a 550-square-foot storage space into a five-location training operation across South Jersey — and he did it without sacrificing the technical excellence that made him an industry expert. In this episode, CJ breaks down the exact framework he uses to scale coaching expertise across multiple locations: how he documents every movement standard into a "playbook" course shell, why he hires great people over great coaches, and the hard-and-fast training convictions that keep his product consistent at scale. We also go deep on the ego death required to stop being the technician, the Dunning-Kruger trap that makes experienced coaches harder to onboard than beginners, and why the gray area in your coaching standards is slowly killing your business. What you'll learn: The "playbook" system CJ uses to onboard coaches and maintain quality across 5 locations Why hiring people with zero coaching experience often beats hiring experienced coaches How to turn technical expertise into a scalable business (without losing what made you great) The pre-mortem exercise that reframes your entire career How to build industry authority through content, coaching trees & relentless curiosity Why having hard convictions — not nuance — is what actually scales

In this episode, Travis Chappell and producer Eric dive into one of the most debated topics in entrepreneurship: work-life balance. Inspired by comments from Poppy co-founder Allison Ellsworth about the sacrifices required to build a billion-dollar company, Travis breaks down why success looks different for everyone and why blindly following someone else's blueprint can lead to regret. This episode explores how entrepreneurs can align their priorities with their personal goals while still building meaningful wealth and freedom. On this episode we talk about: Whether building a billion-dollar company requires sacrificing work-life balance The difference between lifestyle businesses and venture-scale companies How to define success based on your personal goals instead of someone else's Why entrepreneurs should prioritize their time according to seasons of life Balancing business growth, family relationships, and personal health Top 3 Takeaways Your definition of success determines how you should structure your business and life. Not everyone wants—or needs—to build a billion-dollar company. Priorities should be aligned with your current season of life, but neglecting health or family completely often leads to long-term regret. Entrepreneurship should create freedom, not become a more demanding version of a traditional job unless that's intentionally part of your goal. Notable Quotes "You can't have three things that are equally number one priorities. That's not how a number one priority works." "Ruthlessly prioritize against your goal." "Money only solves your money problems, but it's easier to solve the rest of your problems when you've got money in the bank."
