Leadership longevity begins with the courage to say "No". In this episode, Dr. Walker explores the discipline of setting boundaries that preserve purpose, protect peace, and promote healthy leadership. With practical wisdom and powerful insight, he guides listeners to lead from a place of balance and clarity. This episode reminds every leader that true effectiveness comes from alignment, not overcommitment.

Key Takeaways: Watch important financial ratios: Pay attention to numbers like your cash-to-debt ratio and how long it takes customers to pay, since they show how healthy your cash flow is. Use a 16-week cash flow plan: This helps business owners focus on the areas that bring in the most profit. Avoid unprofitable paths: Say no to money-losing opportunities and strengthen existing relationships to keep finances strong. Stay disciplined after hard times: Using lessons learned during downturns helps build long-term success when revenues grow again. Plan big purchases carefully: Good financial planning makes it easier to buy major items, like a luxury car, with confidence.

He's a serial entrepreneur, Shark Tank investor, and founder of King Kong, the digital agency that's generated over $7.8 billion in sales for clients.In this ep, Sabri breaks down the psychology behind brands people obsess over: why scarcity and friction actually make your product more desirable, why the first sale should start a relationship (not end it), and how premium positioning attracts better clients with less stress.

What happens when your marketing office feels more like a sandwich shop, cranking out whatever people order, than a strategic partner on campus?That's exactly the challenge Rachel McClelland faced when she stepped into her role at Pellissippi State.

Ever been handed “one more thing” and wondered whether pushing back would help you or haunt you? We dig into the real art of saying no at work—how to protect your bandwidth without damaging trust, and how to turn tense requests into clear decisions that move the right work forward. Along the way, we share the exact phrases that keep conversations calm, the questions that reveal hidden context, and the negotiation steps that map tradeoffs without sounding defensive.We start by separating core responsibilities from additive requests and unpack why that distinction changes your next move. If the work is core, we talk about ownership and execution; if it's additive, we show you how to probe for intent—stretch assignment, urgent fire drill, or visibility play—so you can assess risk and reward. Then we dive into tone and power dynamics: with a boss, ask permission before offering alternatives; with peers, redirect or delay while still being helpful; with direct reports, be clear and candid so they can succeed. You'll hear simple scripts like “Help me understand why this, why now, and why us,” “Where does this fit among A, B, and C?,” and “If we prioritize this, X slips two weeks—acceptable?”Expect practical tools you can use today: a fast mental checklist for on‑the‑spot decisions, ways to avoid over‑questioning that sounds like stonewalling, and a framework to document impacts so leaders can make informed calls. We also cover when a firm refusal is non‑negotiable—anything illegal, unethical, or harmful—and how to do that with professionalism. By the end, you'll be able to choose among no, not yet, yes if, and yes—and know why each choice fits the moment.

So many high-achieving, heart-centered women struggle with guilt, fear of disappointing others, or worry that boundaries will push people away.But the truth is: boundaries don't break relationships—they strengthen them.

In this episode of The Other 99%, Lisa and Susan sit down with returning guest Melissa Thury, founder of Balance in Business with Melissa. Melissa shares her journey from healthcare administration and direct sales to becoming a business coach for women entrepreneurs. She opens up about learning to set boundaries, the importance of saying no, and how systems and intentional time management can create balance in both business and life.Key Points: Balance over perfection: Balance doesn't mean equal time, it means the right time in the right season.Systems matter: A good website, email marketing, and CRM are stronger growth drivers than social media alone. Boundaries are non-negotiable: Saying no creates space for what truly matters. Direct sales reality check: Success requires intentional planning, not just working in “pockets of time.” Personal values guide business: Filter decisions and opportunities through what actually matters to you, not what's “supposed” to matter.Memorial Quotes: “Balance doesn't mean equal. It means your work and family get the time they need in that season.” – Melissa Thury, “Direct sellers need to stop thinking of themselves as hobbyists. You are your own brand and you need a plan.” – Melissa Thury, “No is an answer all by itself. It's freeing to say no when you don't want to, instead of showing up to something you never wanted to be at.” – Melissa Thury#DirectSales #ConferenceHigh #BusinessGrowth #TheOther99%Podcast Find Melissa on Facebook | bbwithmelissa.comBook a Discovery Call with MelissaThank you for tuning in to The Other 99%.

Saying no is rarely easy — especially when the opportunity is something you really want to say yes to. In this episode, I share a personal example of when I turned down a big media opportunity that landed right in the middle of my family's annual Colorado trip. On paper, I was technically available. My husband could've watched the kids, my calendar was clear, and the opportunity would've been great for my business. But in practice? Saying yes would have derailed my ability to truly unplug, be present with my family, and recharge. In this episode, I walk you through: The ripple effects of saying yes — from prep time and tech checks to energy recovery afterward. Why the pause is the most powerful tool when you're tempted to say yes too quickly. How to evaluate the true cost of opportunities beyond the calendar block they appear to take. The difference between scarcity thinking (“this may never come again”) and embracing a more abundance mindset (even if a little woo). Why protecting vacation time, family time, and rest can sometimes matter more than visibility opportunities. How saying no doesn't just protect you — it also builds strength, clarity, and integrity. I also share how I reframed the “no” by connecting the opportunity with another woman in my field. It reminded me that collaboration, generosity, and boundaries can all exist together. If you ever feel guilty or second-guess yourself when saying no — especially to exciting opportunities — this episode might help you see the full picture and feel more confident in your decision-making.

MORNING RALLY LAUNCH. Access the morning ritual with 50% OFF using CODE PODCAST: https://thisisdailydevotion.com/morning-rally-challenge This episode is for the ambitious, always-on, autoimmune girl who's quietly wondering why her body keeps waving the red flag through annoying or unexplainable symptoms. Today I'm joined by Integrative and Quantum Health Expert Sarah Murphy as we unpack the rise in autoimmunity among busy Type A women and connect the dots between stress chemistry, nonstop “busy-ness” (and business), early nervous system imprinting, fascia, hormones, histamine, blood sugar and facial hair too (lol) plus, why “pushing through” never helps heal. We discuss the real timeline of autoimmunity (starting before birth), how both parents imprint into this experience, and how early attachment patterns exacerbate it. From there, we explore blood sugar dysregulation, MCAS, histamine, PCOS, thyroid issues, and estrogen dominance, and why these common struggles compound the problem in women who really love to do it all (or who have gone through significant stress in their life). We break down why protocols often fail, the ‘good girl' script, the powerful connection between the thyroid and self-expression, and how to actually begin healing (hint: it starts with moving your body) and you'll hear why your body isn't attacking you - it's confused - and where to start with rebuilding energy systems, restoring minerals, supporting mitochondria, and more.

Step beyond the mind's grasp and rest in pure Being, where the supreme intelligence effortlessly shapes your reality. In this space of trust, joy and wisdom arise naturally, guided only by grace.

Your body is always speaking to you—are you listening? In this episode, we dive into the powerful connection between your mind and body and uncover the signals you've been ignoring. From that tightness in your chest to the gut feeling you brushed aside, your body often knows the truth before your mind catches up. Learn how to tune into these cues, trust your instincts, and use them as a guide to make better decisions, reduce stress, and live in alignment with your true self. If you've ever felt disconnected or overwhelmed, this episode will help you reconnect, recalibrate, and reclaim your inner wisdom.✨ Sacred Boundaries: Scripts for Saying No with Love ✨If you've ever felt the pressure to say “yes” when your whole body was begging you to say “no,” you're not alone.

In this episode of The Product Experience, Patrick Ndjientcheu, Chief Product and Technology Officer at Irembo, shares how his team transitioned from delivering projects for government to building a portfolio of scalable products. Patrick talks about shifting mindsets from execution to strategy, spinning out payments and identity into independent products, and the challenges of balancing internal bias with customer needs. He also reveals how Irembo is evolving into a super app, why sales enablement is crucial in a B2B context, and the lessons he has learned guiding teams through the move from project to product to product portfolio.Six things we learned from PatrickProject to product mindset: Repeat customer demand signals value, turn ad-hoc projects into structured products with identity, principles, and strategy.Team restructuring without turnover: Shifting from project delivery to product development requires reorganising teams around capabilities.Spinouts emerge from features: Payments and identity started as embedded features, but with scale and external demand, became standalone products.Bias is real: Teams naturally over-index on the dominant revenue product. Separation, customer interviews, and rebranding are critical to balance focus.Sales enablement matters: Without educating sales and customers on new platform capabilities, adoption stalls and value is under-communicated.Leadership lesson: Product leaders must bring the whole organisation on the journey—marketing, sales, finance, and operations—not just product teams.Featured Links: Follow Patrick on LinkedIn | Irembo | Inspire Africa Our HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.
