What if the secret to balance wasn't managing your time better… but aligning it with what truly matters?In this episode, I'm joined by Dr. Amy Loden Tiffany — Christian, physician, entrepreneur, TEDx speaker, and mom — who helps women navigate the toughest transitions of health and life with faith and purpose. From postpartum recovery to perimenopause, she knows firsthand that “time management” isn't enough if your heart and priorities are out of alignment.We talk about the moments that changed everything for her (including landing herself in the hospital) and what she learned about saying no as a form of stewardship — because when you don't say no to anyone, you can't say yes to God.Here's what we cover in this conversation:Why alignment matters more than balance or a perfect scheduleHow to protect your time by prioritizing what you say matters mostWhat it means to live by your VIPs: Values, Impact, and PrioritiesThe surprising cost of saying “yes” too often — personally and professionallyHow to steward your God-given gifts instead of carrying everyone else'sPractical ways to invite God into your daily decisions and listen for His directionIf you've ever felt stretched thin trying to do it all, this episode will remind you that boundaries aren't barriers — they're blessings.

In this episode of The Tech Leader's Playbook, Avetis Antaplyan welcomes back bestselling author and communication expert Chris Fenning, whose latest book Effective Meetings offers leaders a refreshingly simple framework to cut meeting time by 30% or more. Chris unpacks the hidden cost of poorly-run meetings—billions in wasted dollars, lost morale, and decision fatigue—and explains why the real issue is a lack of training, not bad intentions. Together, Avetis and Chris break down the deceptively powerful TPO method (Topic, Purpose, Output), showing leaders how to transform recurring time drains into high-impact, action-oriented conversations.From the pitfalls of daily stand-ups to the myth of the “must-attend” calendar invite, Chris shares real-world stories, practical examples, and organizational case studies (like Shopify's Chaos Monkey) that show how eliminating unnecessary meetings isn't just possible—it's urgent. Whether you're a startup founder drowning in back-to-back Zooms or a Fortune 30 exec looking to sharpen your team's focus, this episode is packed with actionable advice you can apply today.TakeawaysTPO (Topic, Purpose, Output) is the foundational framework for running effective meetings.A meeting invite with no context is like a court summons—rude and unproductive.The #1 reason meetings fail? Lack of a clear purpose—not missing agendas.“No agenda, no attendance" is a viable policy to filter out low-value invites.Recurring meetings often lose relevance over time—reevaluate them regularly.Many meetings should be emails—ask if the meeting requires real-time, multi-person input.Decision-making meetings must include actual decision-makers or become planning sessions.Multitasking in meetings is usually a sign people shouldn't be there or are disengaged.The “Inverse Time Rule”: if a topic only affects a few people, it should take minimal time.Leaders should experiment: cut one-hour weeklies to bi-weeklies and watch productivity rise.Post-meeting follow-ups are faster and clearer when the output is clearly defined.Clarity is leadership—clear asks beat backstories and long-winded explanations.Chapters00:00 – Intro: The Meeting Problem01:30 – Why Most Meetings Fail03:15 – Topic, Purpose, Output (TPO) Framework06:00 – Writing Better Meeting Invites08:00 – The Power of Saying No to Bad Meetings10:00 – Recurring Meetings: Fix or Kill Them11:45 – When a Meeting Shouldn't Be a Meeting17:00 – How to Restructure Recurring Meetings21:00 – Real Case Study: Cutting Meetings at Scale25:00 – The Truth About Daily Stand-Ups27:00 – TPO in Action: Before, During, and After31:00 – AI's Role in Meeting Efficiency33:00 – Why Clarity is the Cornerstone of Leadership35:00 – Helping Others Get to the Point Faster42:00 – Goal, Problem, Solution: The Efficient Ask45:00 – Why Experts Often Over-Explain48:00 – What's Changed Since Chris's First Book49:30 – Favorite Book Recommendation: The Culture Map51:00 – Final Thoughts & Call to ActionChris Fenning's Social Media Link:https://www.linkedin.com/in/chris-fenning/Chris Fenning's Website Link:https://chrisfenning.com/Resources and Links:https://www.hireclout.comhttps://www.podcast.hireclout.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/hirefasthireright

Chris & Gemma built a 7-figure agency by saying NO to 90% of clientsChris walked into a client meeting. Got the job brief. Then said "No way."The client looked at him like he was insane."You haven't shown me the office. I don't know your team. I can't work on this job."She'd just told him they were more expensive than every other agency.He didn't care.This is how Chris and Gemma built Mixos - a husband-and-wife recruitment agency that operates completely backwards.They REFUSE to take briefs over email. They WON'T work with clients who rush them. They'd literally rather go bankrupt than cut their fees.And somehow? Rookies from retail are billing £50k+ quarters. They've grown to 15 people in 18 months. Their LinkedIn DMs are full of warm leads.In this episode:Why they lost one job last month and Chris "felt like someone stuck a knife in him"The cocktails-in-Mallorca conversation that merged two agencies during a pandemicHow they got a psychology graduate with zero experience to £53k in 90 daysBuilding a 400-person local community that makes cold calling irrelevantWhy they walked away from their biggest client (and replaced it with 5 better ones)The "blueprint everything first" strategy that stops quality diluting as you scaleWhat happens when you tell a client, "I can't help you" in the first meetingThis isn't about growth hacks or AI tools or scaling fast.This is about two people who set impossible standards, refuse to compromise, and somehow built an agency where saying NO is their superpower.For every recruiter who's tired of competing on price and wondering if there's another way.__________________________________________Episode Sponsor: AtlasAdmin is a massive waste of time.

What if the feeling of “not enough” wasn't the truth—but a wound waiting to be healed?In this deeply honest conversation, Jetty Nieuwenhuis, speaker, model, Ironman finisher, and wellness advocate, shares her journey from bulimia, depression, and Lyme disease to radical self-acceptance. Together, we unpack what it means to reparent your inner child, move through shame, and trust yourself again after years of people-pleasing and perfectionism.We talk about navigating difficult relationships, releasing the victim narrative, and finding freedom in embracing all parts of who you are—especially the ones you used to hide.Connect with Jetty:https://www.instagram.com/trujetty/✨ Topics We Explore:Inner child healing and emotional reparentingThe connection between self-trust, shame, and eating disordersHow to stop performing for love and start living authenticallyReleasing perfectionism and learning to be seen as you areIf you've ever felt like you're doing everything “right” but still not feeling enough, this episode will help you remember the wholeness that's been there all along.If you tend to nod “yes” while your gut whispers “no,” this one's for you.You're not weak—you've just learned to equate kindness with compliance.To keep the peace. To avoid guilt. To hold everything together, even when it costs your own center.But every silent yes drains your energy, blurs your truth, and teaches others to expect what depletes you.Boundaries aren't rejection; they're self-respect in action.

They share both the challenges and joys of working with donors on creating more equitable and long-term giving strategies. Together, they discuss what it looks and feels like to say “no” to donors, and how, by grounding fundraising in their organization's values, these difficult conversations can ultimately strengthen donor relationships. Finally, they share practical examples of how their foundations have worked to educate donors on issues such as class and race, which deepened their donors' alignment with the foundation and ultimately strengthened support for the community.

To live a healthy and fruitful life, we need to be able to set wise and healthy boundaries that protect ourselves not only from harm or exhaustion, but also our ability to serve the Lord fully. Jim Newheiser is the director of Christian Counseling at Reformed Theological Seminary, and he is the author of Do I Need Boundaries? Seeking to Please God By Learning to Say No. How do you deal with tricky situations in life that may push you into environments that are unsafe, unwise, or simply spiritually inappropriate? How can you navigate your loyalty to Christ without being offensive to others and still show Christian hospitality? Base your life decisions on the teachings of Jesus Christ and use His wisdom as a grid for making choices. TAKEAWAYSSometimes, making decisions to say yes or no involves personal sacrificeWhen faced with a difficult situation, ask yourself first if participating will endanger your relationship with the LordJesus warned us that there would be divisions in families over loyalty to Him (Luke 12:49-26)The mission field of the home is just as important as the mission field of the church

More and more women in the United States are saying no to motherhood. In 2023, the U.S. fertility rate reached the lowest number on record. But the idea of non-motherhood is actually not a new phenomenon, nor did it come out of the modern feminist movement. For centuries, women have made choices about limiting births and whether or not to become mothers at all. This history is documented in a new book, "Without Children: The Long History of Not Being a Mother," by University of Chicago Assistant Instructional Professor Peggy O'Donnell Heffington.Heffington writes about the historic trends of non-motherhood as well as the modern factors that are playing a role in women's choices to not have children today — from lack of structural support in the workplace, to a national law for paid maternity leave, and the sheer lack of affordability. She writes that if these trends continue, American millennials could become the largest childless cohort in history. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Saying NO is the turning point in recovery from codependency, narcissistic abuse, and childhood trauma. But for adult children of alcoholics and trauma survivors, it can feel terrifying—like you're choosing rejection or abandonment. In this episode, we'll explore why the first boundary is always the hardest, and why it's also the most powerful step toward freedom. You'll discover: Why your brain links "no" with danger and rejection How childhood programming makes boundaries feel unsafe Why toxic people push back when you finally walk away How saying no rewires your brain for self-love and peace If guilt, fear, or self-doubt rise up when you try to protect your peace, this episode will remind you: you're not broken—your brain is coded to expect pain. And with awareness, you can rewrite that code.

We've all been there--we say "yes" when we really want to say no, because we feel obligated or guilty or worried about someone's reaction.In this short, "tiny courage" episode, we're looking at how to start saying no and mean it, without the guilt. No explanations. No over-explaining. No trying to justify...just one powerful sentence.

Discover the surprising truth about how saying no can actually strengthen your relationship. Many believe that saying yes to everything keeps the peace, but what if saying no is what builds respect instead? In this video, we explore how boundaries and self-respect shape attraction and connection. Learn how saying no can improve communication, build trust, and create balance in your relationship. Whether you're dating, married, or navigating family dynamics, this will show you why standing firm matters.

I'm sharing something crucial about setting boundaries with teens that most parents miss. When our teenagers push back against our "no," our nervous systems can get completely hijacked by their anger and disappointment. In this episode, I break down the neuroscience of what happens in these heated moments and offer practical tools using curiosity and validation to stay grounded. I'll show you how to hold firm boundaries while maintaining connection, even when your teen is furious. If saying "no, not yet" feels impossible without losing your cool or caving completely, this episode will transform how you navigate these tough conversations with confidence.

From culinary classrooms to cocktail culture, Sother Teague has built one of the most distinctive bars in the world... Amor y Amargo in New York's East Village by doing what few dared: saying no to juice, sugar and shakers, and saying yes to bitter, spirit-forward drinks built on precision and hospitality.In this episode, Damian sits down with the bartender, author and educator to talk about how a career that began in kitchens shaped his approach behind the bar, why “bitterness is the grown-up flavour,” and how a 240-square-foot pop-up turned into a global benchmark for flavour integrity and service culture.

What does it take to build a successful, heart-centered pet sitting business? Lindsey Perriello shares her path from surgical tech to pet care professional, highlighting the emotional toll of past jobs and how her values shaped the company she leads today. She discusses the challenges of setting boundaries, training staff, and keeping a personal touch with 300+ clients. Lindsey's approach is rooted in education, empathy, and honesty—qualities she believes all pet sitters should bring to their work. This conversation is full of practical insights and vulnerable moments that reflect the realities of small business ownership. Main topics: Career change to pet care Ethical client relationships Continuing education & certifications Managing staff and quality control Boundaries and pricing challenges Main takeaway: "Families are putting their trust in us, and in return, I want to do the best that I can." When someone hands you their keys and their pets, they're not just hiring a service—they're extending trust. Our job isn't simply to meet expectations; it's to honor that trust through professionalism, communication, and care that never cuts corners. Training, insurance, certifications, systems—these aren't boxes to check. They're how we prove we take that trust seriously. Whether you're solo or leading a team, remember: your clients don't see your behind-the-scenes effort, but they feel it in every visit report, every thoughtful update, every safe return home.

More employees are no longer following the traditional career script— even when it leads to a promotion, a six-figure salary, and the so-called dream job. In this episode, we follow Emma, a high-performing engineer who walks away from success to chase something more meaningful, and ask whether risking stability is the new rational choice. From burnout to startups, Matt, Leah, and Aaron unpack what it really costs—and what it might be worth—to say no to the script.

One of the common behavior patterns we HSPs can be prone to is people pleasing – or partner pleasing! Interestingly, on the surface people pleasing seems lovely, it can wreak real emotional havoc and really hurt our intimate relationship over time. Today my special guest, Todd Smith, a highly sensitive person and host of the podcast,  Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People, and I are going to talk about all about people and partner pleasing: what it looks like, what it leads to (ahem, talk about resentment! And overwhelm!), why we do it, and how it affects us and our marriages. You'll hear examples of how we both have "people pleased” in our own lives and relationships, and client stories, as well.  Then we will offer several ways to break this habit or pattern, and ultimately be TRUE to yourself, more authentic and honest in your marriage, and feel more loved for who you really are.Whether you think you may sometimes fall in to people pleasing, or not, you may be surprised at what you'll learn about yourself and other people in your life as you listen to this fun, important, laughter-filled conversation. You'll come away intrigued by how much opportunity for real loving change can come from leaving this pattern in the past, and clear on how to get started. SHOW NOTES:TODD SMITH: Find Todd's website and free Stress Test HEREListen to his podcast, Stress Management for Highly Sensitive People here.HANNAH BROOKSFREE QUIZ: How Much is High Sensitivity Impacting Your Relationship (and are you even highly sensitive)?

In this episode, I'm honored to chat with Lynn Hardy—actor, producer, and founder of The Aging Games—to explore what it really means to reinvent yourself at any age. After a thriving business career, Lynn returned to acting at 55, now starring in the film Vases and co-producing Magdalena's Land. She shares her journey of trusting her inner voice, letting go of self-doubt, and stepping into a new chapter with courage and grace.Together, we dive into what it takes to:Reclaim your power and rewrite your story after decades of “shoulds.”Build self-worth that isn't tied to age, appearance, or others' approval.Set boundaries that create freedom instead of guilt.Approach aging as an expansion of purpose, vitality, and wisdom.If you've ever felt the tug of change but questioned whether it's “too late,” this conversation will remind you—it's never too late to begin again.

Our book this month is "The Art of Saying No" by Damon Zahariades. Zahariades begins with a sobering analysis of why this simple, two-letter word is so cripplingly difficult for so many. He posits that our cultural conditioning, our deep-seated need for approval, and an often irrational fear of conflict combine to make "yes" the path of least immediate resistance. This path, however, leads invariably to the dark wood of resentment and burnout.The true value of The Art of Saying No lies in its transition from diagnosis to action. Zahariades provides a robust, immediately deployable toolkit of refusal strategies. He understands that one cannot simply begin shouting "NO!" at one's colleagues and loved ones. It requires finesse, a degree of social judo that redirects the requestor's energy without causing undue damage to the relationship.He advocates for the concept of the "Guilt-Free No," a refusal delivered with kindness and clarity, often accompanied by a brief, non-negotiable explanation. The key, he correctly identifies, is to separate the person from the request. You are not rejecting your friend; you are rejecting the additional commitment that robs you of your time. -------------**Real Estate Espresso Podcast:** Spotify: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://open.spotify.com/show/3GvtwRmTq4r3es8cbw8jW0?si=c75ea506a6694ef1)   iTunes: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/the-real-estate-espresso-podcast/id1340482613)   Website: [www.victorjm.com](http://www.victorjm.com)   LinkedIn: [Victor Menasce](http://www.linkedin.com/in/vmenasce)   YouTube: [The Real Estate Espresso Podcast](http://www.youtube.com/@victorjmenasce6734)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/realestateespresso](http://www.facebook.com/realestateespresso)   Email: [podcast@victorjm.com](mailto:podcast@victorjm.com)  **Y Street Capital:** Website: [www.ystreetcapital.com](http://www.ystreetcapital.com)   Facebook: [www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital](https://www.facebook.com/YStreetCapital)   Instagram: [@ystreetcapital](http://www.instagram.com/ystreetcapital)
