A decade in commercial litigation. A leap to Italy to run wine and culinary tours. Then a surprising turn into wholesale insurance that finally felt like the right kind of “win.” We're joined by Senior Broker Kaylee Higginbotham for the first conversation in our Career Conversations series, and her story is proof that the straight-line career is the rare one.We talk about what it really takes to build a meaningful career in the insurance industry when your results depend on relationships. Kaylee breaks down the unglamorous truth behind “being a people person”: your network with retail agents and underwriters is built with consistency, a plan, and the grit to hear “no” and call again next month. She also shares the mentor advice that still steadies her today and how that mindset changes everything from prospecting to recovering after a lost deal.

This week, Ivy Slater, host of Her Success Story, chats with her guest, Lindsay Busfield. The two talk about Lindsay's entrepreneurial roots, her journey from auditing chicken barns to becoming a partner at Optimize My Firm, a boutique legal SEO agency, and the power of finding your niche in a crowded market. In this episode, we discuss: How Lindsey Busfield leveraged her strengths in project management and operations to scale Optimize My Firm from a small operation to a recognized national brand. What motivated Lindsey to write her book, "How Personal Injury Lawyers Get Leads: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why," and how the book was a distillation of interviews, podcasts, and industry observations. When Lindsay Busfield's podcast, Personal Injury Marketing Minute, began (about four years ago), and how it has evolved in cadence and production. Why Lindsey doesn't believe SEO is "dead" with the rise of AI, explaining how good SEO practices feed AI models and why continuing quality content creation remains essential. Who the ideal clients are for Optimize My Firm, and what characteristics make for the best client relationships from both business and ethical perspectives. What makes Optimize My Firm stand out in a crowded legal marketing industry, such as their boutique approach, values-driven client selection, geographic exclusivity, and no-contract model. Lindsey Busfield, Vice President of Optimize My Firm, a niche SEO agency catering exclusively to law firms around the US. Coming from a highly entrepreneurial family with many successful – and some wildly unsuccessful businesses, Lindsey was born into a life of business development. After starting her career over about a dozen times, from English teacher to egg farming to legal marketing, Lindsey not only figured out how different businesses operate, but she figured out how she operated as a person and a professional. Today, as a partner at a specialized SEO agency that elevates some of the nation's most powerful legal websites, Lindsey draws upon her diverse background to empower clients and find fulfillment in both her professional and personal journey. Lindsey has turned her legal marketing experience over the past decade into a highly acclaimed marketing guide for law firms: How Personal Injury Lawyers Get Leads: What Works, What Doesn't, and Why. While a dozen or so SEO agencies can tout the same accomplishments, Busfield has become an industry disrupter by revolutionizing the client-law firm relationship. Rather than locking clients into long-term contracts and overpromising results and timelines, Busfield's company has done away with contracts…which attorneys surprisingly love. Busfield also hosts her own podcast, the Personal Injury Marketing Minute, which Attorney At Law Magazine named one of the Best Legal Podcasts of 2025.

Homily for the Twenty-Sixth Sunday in Ordinary Time - September 27, 2026
In this episode of the 20 Years of Women on Boards podcast, Claire Braund OAM speaks with Susan Rix AM, an accomplished business leader, chartered accountant and corporate adviser whose career has run alongside more than four decades of board service. From her first board role as treasurer of Noah's Ark Toy Library to major Queensland Government, infrastructure, education, community and private sector boards, Susan's board career has been built less around a carefully mapped plan and more around being willing to say yes, contribute her skills and keep learning. Susan reflects on growing up in Lismore, spending a formative year in Germany as a Rotary Exchange student and beginning a career in accounting that would eventually see her become a partner at BDO – and, for seven years, its only female partner in Australia. She shares how her accounting and governance skills opened doors at a time when far fewer women were sitting around board tables, and why some of the roles that mattered most were those where she could see the difference strong governance could make. Now Chair of CleanCo Queensland, Susan is still stepping into unfamiliar territory and learning new sectors – proof that a long board career doesn't mean you stop being challenged. The conversation also explores a question that has shaped Susan's approach to board service: is being a director a career, or is it also about service? Susan discusses why not every board role needs to be highly paid, what decades working with family businesses have taught her about succession, and why being the founder's son or daughter doesn't necessarily make someone the right person to run the business. She also reflects on what has changed for women in accounting and leadership, what she would tell her younger self, and why directors can't simply stay in their area of expertise as governance becomes more complex. And after 20 years as a Women on Boards member, Susan looks at what the next generation of directors will need to know – including why AI governance is something every director needs to start understanding. In this episode: Being BDO's only female partner in Australia for seven years Why a clearly defined skill set helped open boardroom doors The board role where she felt she could genuinely make a difference Why board service should be about more than remuneration The biggest mistake families can make in succession planning What has changed for women building careers and families Why directors need to keep learning beyond their area of expertise AI governance and the emerging challenges facing boards Susan's reflections on 20 years as a Women on Boards member It's a candid conversation about service, opportunity, resilience and staying curious throughout a long career – and why sometimes the most important career decision is simply being prepared to say yes.

27th September 2026 | Lizzie Stacey preached part 2 in our sermon series Saying Yes to God
You finally say no, protect the time you set aside for yourself, or try to honor a boundary—and then the discomfort hits. In this episode, Dr. Stacy explains why changing that “no” to a “yes” can create immediate relief, why that relief can trick us into thinking we made the right decision, and how the discomfort we avoid now may simply return later as disappointment in ourselves or resentment.The goal isn't to become someone who always says no or perfectly follows her calendar. It's to learn the difference between changing your decision because you genuinely want to and changing your decision because you're trying to change an uncomfortable feeling.Free 2-Pound Plan Call!Want to jump start your weight loss?

Some of the most expensive decisions in a business begin with two words: “Sure, we can.”A custom request, an extra revision, or a project that doesn't quite fit can seem reasonable on its own. But those commitments add up, taking time and attention away from more valuable work.In this episode, Chip Schweiger looks at why capable owners find it so hard to say no, how to spot the true cost of a yes, and what to do when an old commitment no longer serves the business. He also admits that this is a lesson he hasn't always applied well in his own work.For show notes, past episodes, and more from Things Entrepreneurs Should Know, visit TESKPod.com.Want to continue the conversation?

Something I see over and over again with accountants, CPAs, bookkeepers, tax preparers, business owners, and other high-stress professionals is that they are always saying yes. Yes to another client request. Yes to another deadline. Yes to helping someone on your team. Yes to answering the email right away. Yes to taking care of something that really isn't yours to take care of. Yes to one more responsibility. Yes to your family. Yes to your friends. Yes to everyone who needs something from you. And sometimes, you say yes so often that you don't even realize you're doing it. You just keep saying yes. And then you look at your calendar and wonder, How did I get so busy? Let's dive in… Whether you're an accountant, CPA, bookkeeper, tax preparer, business owner, or other high-stress professional, this episode will give you practical ideas you can use to think more clearly, respond more intentionally, and get more out of life.

Stop Self-Sabotaging Your Business: Consume Less, Launch Faster, Charge More Patrick shares personal and business self-sabotage patterns he's battled, especially for entrepreneurs and content creators. He warns that over-consuming podcasts, PDFs, and other creators' content can feel productive while delaying real execution, and argues business owners should create more content than they consume because content is marketing. He also calls out waiting to feel "ready" and perfectionism, urging imperfect action—launching with a landing page and building the rest as ads get approved. On the business side, he highlights staying the bottleneck, saying yes to everything (and when to subcontract), underpricing out of fear, and ignoring key numbers like margins, CAC, and cash flow. He advocates premium pricing, offering good/better/best options and anchoring, always keeping a higher-tier "outrageous" option ready. 00:00 Self-Sabotage: Topic Intro 00:55 1.

How I Tapped Back Into the Magic of My Life (And How You Can Too) ✨ Everywhere I go lately, people keep saying the same thing... “You're glowing.”“There's something different about you.”“You're evolving so fast.”“I can feel things happening for you right now.” And the truth is... I can feel it too. I'm in one of those seasons where doors are opening, the right people are appearing, ideas are dropping in and one good thing after another seems to be happening. But this season didn't happen by accident. It came on the other side of grief, surrender, endings, prayer, taking bigger risks, asking for support and learning to move when I feel the nudge. In this episode, I'm sharing 7 things I believe helped me tap back into the magic of my life, including: ✨ Why I finally closed a door I had been holding onto✨ What happened when I stopped trying to control where God was taking me✨ Why I stopped waiting for someone else to “discover” me✨ Getting into rooms that matched the size of my vision✨ Why collaboration and receiving support changed everything✨ Saying YES before I feel ready✨ Deepening my relationship with God and Spirit through both expansion and grief✨ Why I now move when I receive the nudge instead of waiting for certainty Because being tapped into the magic doesn't mean your life is perfect. This year has held grief AND magic. Uncertainty AND opportunity. Fear AND expansion. But I've realized something: Sometimes our biggest blocks don't show up when everything is going wrong. They show up when everything starts going RIGHT. Can I hold this much?Can I receive this much?Is it safe for things to be this good?Is it safe for my life to change this quickly? And THAT is exactly what we're tapping on next. ✨ TAPPING INTO THE MAGIC Join me for a brand-new LIVE tapping experience for the woman everything is happening FOR.

This episode was originally published on Vital Signs: Thriving as a Woman in Medicine, hosted by Dr. Diane Shannon. We are grateful to Dr. Shannon for the conversation and for permission to share it here. Episode Summary Every time a doctor opens their mouth in a consultation, they are either shortening or lengthening their day. That is the lens Dr. Sarah Smith brings to clinical communication, and in this episode, originally recorded for Vital Signs: Thriving as a Woman in Medicine with Dr. Diane Shannon, she applies it to everything from how you greet a patient to how you handle the person who walks in with 17 problems. The conversation is practical, honest, and built around a single idea: you are the captain of the ship, and there are more choices available to you than you may have realized. What This Episode Covers Why the way you communicate inside the consultation is one of the biggest drivers of after-hours work The real cost of not having efficient patient communication, including financial costs most doctors do not track Why saying yes to everything in the room means saying yes to homework How to handle the patient with 17 problems without abandoning good care Practical strategies for reducing interruptions, batching staff questions, and protecting thinking time Why noticing without judgment is the first and most important step toward change How small, incremental pivots compound into a very different clinical day Key Moment Worth Hearing Dr. Smith describes what happens when a patient walks in and fills the silence while you are still mid-thought about their diabetes management. Her response to that moment, warm, direct, and completely unapologetic, is one of the most useful things in this episode. Would you like to view a transcript of this episode?

Brad Crowell 0:01 Fuck yeah! Lesley Logan 0:02 Get ready for some wins. Welcome to the Be It Till You See It podcast where we talk about taking messy action, knowing that perfect is boring. I'm Lesley Logan, Pilates instructor and fitness business coach. I've trained thousands of people around the world and the number one thing I see stopping people from achieving anything is self-doubt. My friends, action brings clarity and it's the antidote to fear. Each week, my guest will bring bold, executable, intrinsic and targeted steps that you can use to put yourself first and Be It Till You See It. It's a practice, not a perfect. Let's get started.Lesley Logan 0:48 Welcome, Be It babe, to the Fuck Yeah Friday episode that has no script at the beginning. I just wing it every time, and I wung it so poorly. You'll probably hear a blooper in this episode because I. Oh my god! Normally, don't record the FYFs on Tuesday afternoons because normally that's when Brad and I would record a recap. So I think my brain is like, "Oh, it's Tuesday. You're in the pod room. You must be recording a recap without your husband. It's Friday, and we take some time to just be a human being. Don't have to be learning. We can be living. We can be celebrating what we did do together, and you know I got to get a little thing off my chest with you. Hopefully, you're in your car nodding along and understand my pain. Then I share one of your wins, and then you get to send. You get to be inspired by someone's win. You send it in to me. Lesley Logan 1:35 So, okay, here's the deal. There's this weird thing that's going on. So, for those who have been on Instagram for a long time, meaning of like being on Instagram, like you didn't have to have a ton of followers, but like everybody wanted to send you a pair of leggings and then give you 10% off as your discount, but also you would sell the leggings and then you would get affiliate money, right? And so years ago, was everyone and their mom was literally in my DMs trying to get me to wear their fucking leggings. Send me a free pair, and then I just have to post, and I get to have an affiliate link and make three cents, right? So that was annoying. Fast forward to okay. Now I actually want to be intentional about the companies I collab with. I want to make sure it's things that we want to tell you about. So being intentional about doing my research, trying the product, reaching out, being an affiliate for them, and then for them to go, you actually haven't sold enough of the product, so we're going to cancel your affiliation with us. So by not selling enough of the product, they wanted 20 sales in a month. You guys, someone have to have a million followers for that because most people know it takes seven to 10 hours of somebody understanding your brand before they buy something from you. So seven to 17 touch points at the least for some purchase. And so I was so frustrated because it has been 30 days. What'd you think I was going to talk about your stuff all day long every single day? Like this is QVC? No. And so it was just so annoying, and it gave me such a bad taste with the brand because that's just you know I would never do with my affiliates. If you want to be an affiliate of ours, we have it for our flashcards and we have it for Agency, and then we have referral bonuses for eLevate and for the retreat. And if you want to be, we don't go. You have to have minimum sales to get a thing. No, what I have seen is if you do really, really well, you might get better payouts. But to just completely drop the people who've been talking about you because they didn't do a good enough job? Weird. I just think it's weird. I think it's gross. It's not. It's and then all these companies like women supporting women. Fuck you. No, you're not. Because you would just allow me to be an.Lesley Logan 3:37 If you saw me using my affiliate just to buy stuff at discount, okay, that is one thing, but to just feel you can keep talking about we're not going to pay you because you didn't. I don't know something about it just really irks me because wait, that's not that's not how things go. And you know, there's been other companies have taken really really good care of me, really really amazing, and then they got rid of their affiliate program. Very different thing, very very different thing, and so this is not me bitching about that stuff. It's just like the ones you. I don't know. I just think why can't I just tell people about the product that I love and then maybe one a month come to you? Maybe that's it, right? Maybe get one a month. Maybe actually my people already buy your stuff and they're like, oh, Les likes to do it. I'll keep buying more, but you'll never know, right? It's just weird. I don't know. Why can't we just all get along? Why can't we all support each other? That's all. That's what this complaint is about. Lesley Logan 4:25 All right. So my win, my win because I think I've like hit that pinata to death. So I had an invitation to do something that, to be honest, would have actually been fine and aligned with the business, and we would have made it work, and probably would have made some good money on it. And I said no because it was going to affect my well-being and my commitments to myself, and my sleep, and my routines. And I have so many friends who work for themselves who will just say yes to every speaking gig, and they will just work from every hotel, and they just wear this badge of busy. And I cannot do that. And it's really interesting because, like, there is this fear that can come up. Oh my god! If I tell people I'm going to say no to things, then people will stop asking me. And I'm sure that's true. I guess it could happen. But I also really do believe that this is not advice for you if you're brand new at the thing you're doing, okay? But I've been doing this for a long time, a long time. I've been doing this a long time, and I also did so much travel, and then no travel because of pandemic, and then a little bit travel, and then so much travel, and I love it, and I would love to go everywhere all of the time. I'd love to say yes, and the truth is, is that I can't do the good work that I'm doing and say yes to every single thing. So I said no to this thing. I said I can't do it this time, but please keep me in mind for the rest, for other things. You know, it's not a never. It's just not a today, and send them on with some other support. And then I didn't feel bad about it, and I also think that that's a win. Like, whoa, wow, what, what? I'm I got rid of some level of insecurity that was vibrating in my brain. Got rid of that somewhere along the way, and I don't know when, but when I did this, I didn't buzz in. Oh my God, you're gonna invite again? Do you want to be invited? Nope, not not insecure at all. So that's my win. That's my win. I said no, I didn't feel bad about it. So see how easy a win can be? Lesley Logan 6:25 Now let's do a win of yours. You can send your wins in to beitpod.com/questions. Okay, same link for everything. Questions, topics. The questions we answer on YouTube, but the topics we do podcast episodes on or find guests. You can send guest requests in. If you send me Michelle Obama one more time, I love her. Can't wait. Would love for her to be. Cannot wait to be of earn the right to interview her. But maybe someone a little more attainable. Yeah. Okay. I love you guys so much. All right. So this is from @sandaburkemovement, "Set up my new reformer!!!" Oh my god, your new Reformer is stunning on you, and it's been so fun to watch your practice just evolve and change, and you know, the strength that you have, and I just am so glad that you're in my life, that I've been your elevated life, and we get to keep doing this Pilates thing together. Lesley Logan 7:09 And then this one is from @pilates_muscles, "Connected deeper to my breath, and made my long legs feel feather light and teaser." Oh wow! Breath is so good. The breath is so good. Ah, I love these wins. Thanks for sending them in, ladies. You are amazing. Keep them coming because you'll hear them in the future, right? You won't hear them a week later when you remember the win. You're going to hear it a month or three later and go, "Oh my God, I did that. That's right. I forgot about that. Right? Lesley Logan 7:37 All right. Here is your mantra: Relaxation is my natural state. Relaxation is my natural state. Relaxation is your natural state, babe. Go get it. Go Be It Till You See It. Thank you so much for supporting this podcast by listening, by sharing, and by supporting OPC onlinepilatesclasses.com by either being a member or buying our flashcards, you mean the world to me.

"When I get an objection, I know that the soul is saying yes to moving forward with me. It's just that the brain is scared, and all I've got to do is reach the soul." — Nicky Billou There is a reframe in this episode that will change how you feel the next time a prospect pushes back in a sales conversation. It came from Matthieu Mehuys, a client inside eCircle Academy's weekly mastermind, and it is as simple as it is powerful: an objection is not a no. It is the soul saying yes while the brain panics. The moment someone says "I need to think about it," they have already decided — somewhere deeper than logic — that their problem is real, that it can be solved, and that you might be the one to do it. The objection is fear. And underneath every version of it — "it costs too much," "I need to talk to my spouse," "I need more time" — is a single question: Will this work for me? That is not resistance. That is someone asking you to help them past their fear. Once you see objections that way, you stop bracing and start engaging. Your job in the conversation is not to win an argument. It is to walk the person back to what their soul already knows.

In this solo episode of Wild & Waking, I'm reflecting on what it means to finally arrive in a version of yourself you are no longer afraid to let other people see. After years of deconstructing inherited beliefs, questioning old identities, moving through grief, and learning to sit with both my light and my darkness, I'm entering a season that feels different: rooted, integrated, and ready to hold the fullness of my voice, my power, my magic, and the mission I know I'm here to carry.After spending a weekend surrounded by women in agriculture, entrepreneurs, former clients, and fellow rural women, I was reminded that there is no single right way to be a farm wife, a mother, a business owner, a leader, or a human being. Radical authenticity asks us to step outside the roles, rules, and expectations we inherited, and to stop allowing the fear of rejection, judgment, or not belonging to keep us from becoming who we truly are.But choosing yourself never affects only you. One woman's decision to say yes to an opportunity, follow an unconventional path, start a business, change the way she parents, question an inherited belief, or live more honestly can create a ripple effect through families, friendships, businesses, and entire communities. We may never see where that ripple ends, but our courage to go first becomes a permission slip for someone else to begin.This episode is an invitation to trust your becoming, let yourself be fully seen, and remember that your radical authenticity carries power far beyond your own life. You are allowed to take everything apart, rebuild it differently, and create a life that feels true to you… even when the path hasn't been paved and not everyone understands where you're going.In this episode, I explore:What it means to become fully integrated and allow yourself to be truly seenRadical authenticity as a pathway to self-trust, freedom, and personal growthMoving beyond the fear of judgment, rejection, and no longer belongingDeconstructing inherited beliefs, social conditioning, and limiting expectationsWhy there is no single right way to be a woman, mother, farm wife, entrepreneur, or leaderLearning to embrace both your light and your shadowThe difference between intellectually knowing who you are and being ready to embody itFinding the courage to follow an unconventional or unpaved pathHow saying yes to yourself gives other women permission to do the sameThe ripple effect our choices create within families, friendships, businesses, and rural communitiesWhy living authentically can become an act of leadership and generational changeTrusting your identity evolution—even when other people don't understand itCreating a life rooted in your truth rather than society's rulesBe sure to hit subscribe so you never miss the latest episode!Connect with Emily:Website: www.EmilyReuschel.comInstagram: @emilyreuschelFacebook: Emily ReuschelLinkedIn: Emily ReuschelJoin my Book Insiders List: Sign up here!Resources and Links:Episode 160 | When the Breakdown Becomes the Breakthrough: What My Body Taught Me About Grief, Energy & TrustSign up here to get the inside scoop to my book writing journey!Book me as a speaker for your next event - email inquiries to emilyreuschel@gmail.com or schedule a call hereWild & Waking – Produced by Jill Carr Podcasting | Learn MoreMentioned in this episode:Join Emily and Kelsey Anderson for VeilFall, an intimate Samhain and Full Hunter's Moon women's retreat happening October 23–26, 2026, at Blue Star Retreat Center in Columbia Falls, Montana, near Glacier National Park.

What does it take for a region to thrive?In this special Summit Series episode, we sat down with entrepreneur, investor and 'Dragon' on CBC's Dragons' Den, Manjit Minhas to explore the connections between business, government, education, people and community that drive economic growth.From collaboration and talent to taking risks and saying yes more often, Manjit shares the ideas that will shape her keynote at the Ignite Summit on October 20 in Fredericton.
Most women know the feeling. You say yes. Your body shows up. But some part of you is somewhere else entirely — running through tomorrow's to-do list, waiting for it to be over, checking a box so you will not be expected to again for a week.It is called duty sex. And it is one of the most common and least talked-about dynamics in long-term relationships.In this episode for Sexual Health Awareness Month, Gabriella sits down with Dr. Holly Richmond, somatic psychologist, certified sex therapist, and author of Reclaiming Pleasure, for one of the most honest and practically rich conversations this show has ever had about desire, self-abandonment, and what it actually takes to move from going through the motions to having sex worth wanting.This is not a conversation about broken relationships or broken women. Nobody is broken here. But the system — the way we were taught to think about desire, consent, and our own pleasure — needs a serious upgrade. And this episode is a very good place to start.Are you ready to awaken your sensuality and feel more empowered in your body? Access the FREE Pleasure Upgrade Bundle at https://www.pleasureinthepause.com/gift.Dr. Holly Richmond is a somatic psychotherapist, certified sex therapist and sex therapy supervisor, and Associate Director of Modern Sex Therapy Institutes. An internationally recognized therapist, high-profile couples coach, speaker, retreat facilitator, and author of Reclaiming Pleasure: A Sex-Positive Guide for Moving Past Sexual Trauma and Living a Passionate Life, she takes a sex-positive approach to helping clients build healthy relationships and improve their sex lives in ways that are authentic, embodied and long-lasting. With a significant media following, her work has been featured in The New York Times, CNN, Oprah, Forbes, Netflix, NBC, and Cosmopolitan, among others. Highlights from our discussion include:What duty sex actually is and the difference between self-abandonment and a generous act of connectionWhat happens in a woman's body when she repeatedly says yes while part of her means no — numbness, resentment, and pain as the body's way of speakingSpontaneous versus responsive desire and why understanding the difference changes everything for midlife womenWhat a sexual template is, why most women have never developed one, and how to startThe three-part framework from Reclaiming Pleasure — control, pleasure, and connection — and how to use it to assess whether sex is happening in a sex-positive wayThe four things the healthiest couples do: active appreciations, giving the benefit of the doubt, affectionate touch without expectation, and talking about sexWhy nobody is broken — the lower desire partner, the higher desire partner, or the relationship — and what actually needs to change Dr. Holly Richmond says it plainly at the end of this conversation: nobody is broken here. Not the lower desire partner. Not the higher desire partner. The system is broken. And most of it can be repaired with more communication, more transparency, and more willingness to actually talk about sex — which almost none of us were taught to do.

Send us Fan MailWhat should a nonprofit do after receiving a massive unrestricted gift?This is a rare look at what happens after the transformational check arrives. JobsFirstNYC President and CEO Marjorie Parker shares what happened after a surprise $4 million investment connected to MacKenzie Scott. Learn why receiving transformational money can create as many strategic decisions as opportunities.The story begins with an unexpected message from someone representing an unnamed investor. After significant due diligence and roughly two months of conversations, Parker learned JobsFirstNYC would receive $4 million . . . “unrestricted”. That word mattered!The gift gave the organization flexibility to strengthen operations, support longtime partners, develop internal capacity, rethink growth, and build a new five-year strategy. But Parker and her board did not simply begin spending.They asked harder questions: What should be invested? What should be preserved? Where could the organization expand responsibly? How should employees, partners, funders, and the community hear about the gift? “Growth actually requires sustained capital,” Parker explains. That became especially important because a transformational gift can create an unexpected fundraising problem: other donors may assume the organization no longer needs them. Parker describes one funder who postponed support for a year after seeing the size of the gift, while other new investors and communities discovered JobsFirstNYC because of it.The investment also helped JobsFirstNYC build a five-year growth strategy that supported expansion beyond New York into northeastern Pennsylvania and southern Nevada.The conversation also puts the organization's mission into perspective. Parker discusses millions of young Americans ages 18–24 who remain disconnected from work or education and why changing labor markets make economic mobility increasingly urgent.Key Takeaways:Treat unrestricted capital as organizational trust, not permission to spend quickly.Give the board time to establish investment, spending, and governance priorities.Communicate internally so staff understand how major new resources will be used.Use flexible capital to strengthen operations and strategic capacity, not simply add programs.Major public gifts may attract new funders while causing existing donors to temporarily step back.Growth still requires sustained capital; one extraordinary gift does not eliminate future fundraising.00:00:00 The $4 Million Nonprofit Story 00:02:23 JobsFirstNYC and America's Future Workforce 00:04:29 How the Surprise Funder Contact Happened 00:07:08 The $4 Million Reveal 00:09:24 Confidentiality and the Board Chair 00:11:21 Why Unrestricted Funding Means Trust 00:13:54 The Board Asks: How Do We Use $4 Million? 00:17:27 Can a Huge Gift Hurt Future Fundraising? 00:20:36 Saying Yes — and No — to Growth 00:23:27 Marjorie's Advice for Nonprofit Leaders 00:26:06 Reporting When the Funder Requires None 00:27:28 Stewarding Transformational Capital Find us Live daily on YouTube!Find us Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits! 12:30pm ET 11:30am CT 10:30am MT 9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show
What does it mean to choose yourself and your creative life, especially when the people around you might not understand that choice. In this first audio newsletter of Nourishing Creativity, I'm reflecting on the willingness it takes to say yes your ideas, projects, and creative dreams.Inspired by My Brilliant Career, a new series on Netflix, which is also a book. Without giving you spoilers, through line of this series is choosing yourself. When you choose yourself, it can feel radical and it can also come with trade-offs which I am reading about in Emma Grede's book, Start With Yourself: A New Vision for Work & Life.Over the past year, I've supported clients who are creating while navigating grief, illness, caregiving, and major life transitions. And yet, they're still creating Substack publications, recording podcasts, writing books, sharing their ideas, and thinking about the legacy they want to leave behind.I'm experiencing this in my own creative practice too. While cleaning out a closet, I found a letter I wrote to myself at the end of 2023 that included a reminder to create my creative planner. Three years later, that project is tapping me on the shoulder like my podcast guest, Luna Battalia said.If there's a book, podcast, Substack, or idea that's asking you to co-create with this season, this is your invitation to say yes. And if you think this is just for others or that you don't have the insert: Time, energy, or money. Sit with the question of willingness in the last newsletter.Listen to the episode on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, or on your favorite podcast platform while you cook, clean, or create.Leave a comment on Substack or connect with me on Instagram @chefcarlacontrerasxo CarlaPS: Upgrade to Founding Member on Substack to book your Mini-Content Audit: Get unstuck, and take aligned action.

Was 9/11 an Inside Job? A Combat Veteran Examines the Evidence with Korey Rowe Was 9/11 an inside job? Combat veteran Korey Rowe examines the evidence, government warnings, intelligence failures, WTC 7, Loose Change, and the unanswered questions surrounding September 11. Rather than reducing the story to a simple conspiracy claim, this conversation examines what is documented, what remains disputed, and what we can learn from 9/11. 9/11 evidence, 9/11 investigation, WTC 7, Loose Change, Korey Rowe, 9/11 unanswered questions, government accountability, Iraq War In this episode of Eyes Wide Open with Nick Thompson, Nick sits down with Korey Row, a U.S. Army veteran who served in Afghanistan and Iraq and later became the creator and producer of the documentary Loose Change and author of The Soldier That Left: The Untold Story of Loose Change. The conversation explores 9/11, the Iraq War, government warnings, intelligence failures, unanswered questions, media narratives, accountability, and the long-term impact of war. Korey shares his personal journey from joining the Army before 9/11 to being deployed to Afghanistan, later serving in Iraq, questioning the intelligence behind the Iraq invasion, going AWOL, and eventually working with Dylan Avery on Loose Change. The conversation also examines: • What Korey experienced after 9/11 • Why his perspective changed during the Iraq War • Government warnings before 9/11 • Intelligence and accountability after 9/11 • Why the phrase "inside job" may be too simplistic • The unanswered questions surrounding 9/11 • Building 7 and the continuing debate surrounding the official explanation • The history and impact of Loose Change • How media narratives shape public opinion • Political polarization and confirmation bias • Free speech and censorship • What society can learn from 9/11 • Education, critical thinking and teaching the next generation • The lessons Korey believes we should carry forward Korey argues that the important question is not simply whether someone accepts a particular 9/11 theory, but whether people are willing to examine the available record, documented failures and unanswered questions. He also discusses the broader lesson he took from the experience: that ordinary people can influence major conversations when they have enough passion, persistence and conviction. This episode is a conversation about 9/11, war, government accountability, media, critical thinking and the importance of asking difficult questions. Watch the full conversation and decide for yourself. Our Guest Korey Rowe is a US Army combat veteran of the 101st Airborne Division, serving tours in both Afghanistan and Iraq. He is an entrepreneur, author, and the filmmaker behind the historic documentary Loose Change. His new memoir, The Soldier That Left: The Untold Story of Loose Change, chronicles his military journey, the anti-war movement, and institutional deception. Our Mission Eyes Wide Open is a space for honest communication. Our goal is to remove the stigmas around mental health, holistic lifestyles, culture, and free speech so you can show up as your authentic self with your eyes wide open. By having real conversations about difficult truths, we move toward collective healing.

In this month's Shop Talk, Whitney and Brianna reconnect after five months apart and compare notes on what shifted. Whitney shares the delegation ceiling she hit this summer, from moving her team onto a shared inbox to splitting her support roles at inquiry-to-deposit and pre-departure. Brianna talks through taking June and July mostly off in Portugal and Spain, then coming home to a 50-person corporate offsite in Italy that fell in her lap. Together they get into what a $500,000 group program really costs in hours, why corporate planning committees move so slowly, and whether staying in your lane beats chasing a bigger number. The conversation wraps with both of them prepping for PURE in Marrakech, including conference nerves and the 72-out-of-700 appointment scramble.

In this episode of The Kirk Miller Podcast, Kirk comes to you with a raw and honest conversation about one of the biggest reasons people struggle to achieve their health goals: self-sabotage. If you're nowhere near where you thought you'd be with your health this year, this episode explores why the problem may not be your diet, training plan, or lack of discipline — it may be the way you're spending your time and energy. In this episode, Kirk explores: Why self-sabotage isn't always about food or exercise — and how repeatedly saying "yes" to the wrong things can quietly undermine your health. Auditing your calendar to identify which commitments are giving you energy and which are draining it. The connection between stress, overwhelm and poor health decisions, particularly for busy founders and entrepreneurs. Why your calendar reveals your real priorities — not what you say your priorities are, but how you actually live. How overcommitment depletes your mental and emotional reserves, making it harder to make good decisions around food, training, sleep and recovery. Creating space for what actually matters by delegating, removing or reconsidering commitments that don't align with your values. Why you don't need to wait for January to make a change. There is still time this year to reset your priorities and build healthier habits. How better health can improve more than your personal wellbeing, including your performance at work and the quality of time you have with the people you love. If your calendar is constantly leaving you exhausted, stressed and overwhelmed, it may be time to start saying "no" to the things that are pulling you away from the person you want to become. Your health isn't separate from your business, relationships or everyday life. How you structure your life directly influences the choices you make. If you're a founder, CEO or business leader who wants to build year-round health, confidence and energy, apply to Built To Last here: www.kirkmiller.co.uk
I still think about the $30 Bumblebee toy from Target.My son wanted to ride it through the store, and I said yes, with the very clear boundary that we were not buying it. Then, of course, he wanted to buy it. I said no. He pushed back. And eventually I gave in because I did not want to deal with the meltdown.He never even used the thing because he was too big for it.At the time, I could have just chalked it up to one of those parenting moments. But when I looked at why I gave in, I realized it wasn't really about the toy. I was trying to keep the peace.And that pattern showed up in a lot more places than Target.I stayed quiet when I wanted to speak up. I made decisions based on how someone else might react. I waited for things to change instead of listening to the little nudges that were already telling me something wasn't right.That's what Samantha Taylor and I ended up talking about on Parenthood Unscripted.We got into people pleasing, motherhood, the pressure to do everything, and the strange way we can start measuring our worth by how much we're able to handle. We also talked about how journaling helped me actually hear myself.Not gratitude lists. Not affirmations. Not trying to convince myself everything was fine. Just giving myself enough space to stop fixing, solving, and performing long enough to figure out what I actually felt and what I wanted.Because sometimes you don't need more advice. You need to be honest about what you already know. And then you need to see what happens when you finally act on it.Resources Mentioned:Episode 246: Why “Doing It All” Still Never Feels Like Enough Lighter: finally release the weight attached to your plate www.samanthapenkoff.com/lighterWork with me:The Leaders Table: https://www.samanthapenkoff.com/leaders-tableBreakthrough Intensive: You already know you should slow down, delegate more, stop overcommitting & be emotionally present.

What if the opportunities you never saw coming are the ones that change everything? That's what today's guests have discovered. Young entrepreneurs DJ Daeshaun White (DJ D Smoove) and streetwear designer Ocean Baker each started out with a vision of what their businesses would look like, but by staying open to interesting opportunities, what they've each created is even better than what they expected. From working with celebrities to writing books, their creativity and profits have stretched beyond what they thought possible by this point.

What changes as we get older? Maybe it's less about becoming a completely different person and more about getting clearer on what actually deserves our time.In this Sunday episode of Casa DeConfidence, Julie and Dan are back at the microphones for one of their candid conversations about marriage, midlife, getting older, changing priorities, and creating a life you actually enjoy.It starts, as many Casa conversations do, somewhere unexpected: Julie announces a new bucket-list dream of taking on the Mongol Rally, a wild, choose-your-own-adventure journey across thousands of miles. That leads Dan to ask a bigger question: What mattered to us in our 20s that doesn't matter nearly as much now?And what have we learned along the way?Dan shares something he wishes he had understood sooner: in his 20s, he didn't fully understand the power of saying no. Later, he had to learn the power of saying yes. Now, in midlife, he recognizes that a good life requires both.Julie and Dan talk about what it means to trust yourself enough to make your own decisions, how our priorities shift as we age, why some opportunities are worth saying yes to, and why we don't have to do everything ourselves.They also get into the very real stuff of everyday life: simplifying dinner when life gets busy, Julie's upcoming trip to Key West for the annual Jimmy Buffett celebration, adventures with their three senior dogs, the never-ending bathroom remodel, and why sometimes the best decision you can make is eating pizza outside on a beautiful New England evening.Because some things in life are fleeting.Maybe living confidently isn't always about chasing the next accomplishment. Sometimes it's knowing what matters, saying no to what doesn't, saying yes to what does, and giving yourself permission to enjoy it without guilt.In This Episode:How priorities change as we get olderWhat we would tell our younger selves about lifeThe power of saying no without guiltWhy learning to say yes matters just as muchCreating a bucket list and choosing new adventuresWhy midlife can bring greater clarity about what really mattersLetting go of the pressure to do everything yourselfMaking intentional choices about your time and energyWhy ordinary moments can become some of the best parts of lifeJulie's upcoming Key West adventure celebrating Jimmy BuffettMarriage, aging, senior dogs, home renovations, and plenty of Casa DeConfidence banterA Question for YouThink about who you were at 21 or 25.What mattered enormously to you then that you don't care nearly as much about today? And what matters to you now that your younger self never would have understood?We'd love to hear your answer.If this episode makes you laugh, think, or reconsider what deserves a yes or a no in your own life, share it with someone who might need the same reminder.And remember: pick one thing you enjoy and do it guiltlessly.Go confidently in the direction of your dreams, make some brave moves, and leave people and the planet better than you found them.I want to hear your thoughts about the show and this episode.

Pod Crashing episode 494 with super model Kim Alexis from the podcast Unexpired… Being an international supermodel, as Kim Alexis was in the 70's, 80's, and 90's, inspired a quiet rebellion within her against the cultural expectations that tell people, especially women, who they are supposed to be and when they are supposed to fade. In her new podcast, Unexpired (debuting on Apple, iHeart radio, Spotify, and YouTube on May 6), she explores why some people continue to thrive- physically, mentally, emotionally, and spiritually, long after our culture tells them that they're past their prime.It's an important topic that she explores with people who have lived interesting, full, and often highly visible lives, asking the question: what drives them forward when career or life changes?The podcast challenges one of the most damaging cultural myths: that your best years are behind you. You are not past your prime. Prime is not a number! It's how you steward your body, mind, relationships, and purpose.Upcoming guests include Jay Leno, Esai Morales, Justine Bateman, Super Bowl great Jim McMahon, Mariel Hemingway, Larry the Cable Guy, Carol Alt, Joe Theisman, Patrick Warburton, Joan Severence, NFL superstar Bret Saberhagen, Jay DeMarcus (Rascal Flatts), and many more.People Mag: https://people.com/model-kim-alexis-chops-off-12-inches-of-her-hair-to-donate-to-children-with-hair-loss-exclusive-8413533 Sizzle Reel: https://next.frame.io/share/17d4f595-1cce-4665-969b-b50ba063d2a4/view/323983e6-c350-456d-a0dc-b8611ce7b53a Podcast episodes available here:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/269-unexpired-332781591/
Could your biggest career breakthrough come from a time of isolation? Photographer Polly Irungu bought her first camera with money from working at McDonald's to cope with moving to a new place. She didn't know then that she was starting a global movement. In this episode, I talk with Polly about how she started Black Women Photographers, worked with big brands like Nikon and Adobe, and learned that saying yes to every low-paying job was hurting her health. You will learn how to find your own artistic style, build a community from scratch, and set strong boundaries to avoid burnout.

What would your life look like right now if you had said yes to every single thing that scared you? This episode explores that question with someone who has spent over four decades doing exactly that. Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis, a Swiss-born author, podcaster, life coach, and hypnotherapist who has visited more than 100 countries and speaks six languages, joins host Sana to talk about what saying yes to life beyond comfort really means, why fear is conditioned rather than instinctive, and how to tell the difference between genuine growth and running from your problems. About the Guest: Elisabeth Villiger Toufexis is a Swiss-born author, podcast host, master life coach, NLP practitioner, and hypnotherapist based in Cyprus. A former tour guide and conference interpreter fluent in six languages, she is the author of The Soul Kit and One Suitcase, 1000 Stories, and hosts the podcast Most Memorable Journeys. Key Takeaways: We're only born with two instinctive fears, falling and loud noises, everything else is conditioned, and conditioning can be examined and released. Saying yes to life doesn't mean fear disappears, it means fear stops being the one in the driver's seat. Problems don't stay behind when you leave, low self-esteem and unresolved pain travel with you until you actually face them. You can't control what happens to you, but there's a space between what happens and how you respond, and that space is where your freedom lives. Simple daily practices, deep belly breathing and naming two or three things you're grateful for, can meaningfully shift how overwhelmed or afraid you feel. Connect With the Guest:

In this episode: • Why "no" can stop feeling emotionally safe • How your body responds before an automatic yes • Three questions to ask before committing • Several ways to say no without being unkind • How to distinguish disappointment from actual harm • Why guilt does not always mean you made the wrong decision You do not have to become a woman who says no to everything.

If you've ever lost everything (a business, a marriage, your sense of who you are) this conversation is proof that the collapse isn't the end of your story. Rick Trimmer walks through the exact math he and his wife used to climb out of $640,000 in debt: the thousand-day stretch with no pay, the decade of living on a thousand dollars a month, and the brutal conversations he had with himself and his wife about what they actually wanted. If you're in the hole right now, or you're scared of ever being in it, this is the blueprint for how a man digs out without excuses and without quitting on his family. But this isn't just a comeback story; it's a lesson in delayed gratification and what winning the game really looks like. We'll cover how to build passive income, take advantage of opportunities that scare you, and chose freedom over the appearance of success. If you're tired of chasing a lifestyle you can't afford, or you're ready to start building something that actually lasts, this conversation gives you the mindset and the moves to get there.

Let's talk about what actually happens when desire disappears in a long term relationship… because most people assume their libido is just gone, or something is broken in their relationship, when the truth is usually something completely different. In this episode I'm breaking down how desire actually works, why spontaneous desire is mostly a myth for couples past the honeymoon phase, and the one simple 20 minute practice you can try this week to start feeling connected again without forcing anything. I'm also getting into the difference between duty sex and responsive desire, because those are not the same thing and confusing them is making a lot of people miserable. If you've ever thought something is wrong with you because you don't want sex the way you used to, this episode is for you. Spoiler: nothing is wrong with you. Your desire just works differently now. #SexWithEmily #EmilyMorse #Cheating #Wisdom #Desire Don't miss a video!

What would happen if you stopped trying to control the outcome and truly trusted God with every area of your life? In this powerful conversation, Reagan Kramer sits down with bestselling author, speaker, and radio host Susie Larson to talk about her new book, More Than You Can Imagine: What God Does When You Trust Him. Susie shares why trusting God is more than simply believing He is faithful—it is making the decision to surrender, obey, rest, and follow Him even when the path is difficult or the outcome is unclear. Susie opens up about seasons when her own trust in God was tested, including a powerful story about nearly walking away from speaking because of fear, physical challenges, and concern about what other people might think. Then God used an unexpected encounter with a bold woman to remind Susie that God is the One who called her—and He is the One who will sustain her. That moment challenged her to stop managing the outcome and start trusting God again. Reagan and Susie also explore how the enemy attacks our identity to undermine our trust, why the "little things" can sometimes be harder than the big challenges, and how we can challenge thoughts that don't line up with what Scripture says about who we are. One of the most powerful insights from the conversation is the difference between faith and trust: faith is our vision of who God is, while trust is our decision to act on that belief. Sometimes trusting God means moving forward. Sometimes it means fighting. And sometimes the greatest act of faith is simply resting and saying, "You've got this, God." Susie also shares about becoming more receptive to God's voice, encouraging others, and creating space to hear what God may want to speak into someone else's life. She emphasizes the importance of humility and testing what we believe we've heard from God rather than assuming every impression is automatically from Him. Most importantly, this episode is an invitation to ask: What part of your life are you still trying to control because you don't fully trust God? God may be asking you to surrender that area, take a step of faith, rest in Him, or simply say yes to what He's asking you to do. As Susie reminds us, God is able to do "exceedingly abundantly above and beyond" what we could ask or imagine—and the journey of trusting Him can transform every part of our lives.

Sometimes faith means taking the next step. Sometimes it means standing and contending. And sometimes it means resting under God's protection and trusting Him to do what only He can do.

In this episode, Sathya sits down with pastor and author Mike Signorelli to explore purpose, sexual addiction, repentance, and what it really takes to experience lasting freedom. Mike shares his unlikely journey from growing up in a difficult environment to discovering his calling at 15 through a series of powerful encounters with God. The conversation then turns to the growing epidemic of pornography and sexual brokenness, with Mike explaining why overcoming addiction requires more than simply stopping a behavior. He discusses the biological, spiritual, and behavioral sides of addiction, the difference between confession and true biblical repentance, and why genuine freedom often requires painful but necessary changes. Mike also unpacks the relationship between deliverance and discipline, using the biblical examples of Saul and David to explain the importance of repentance and keeping the door closed to destructive patterns. Throughout the conversation, he emphasizes that transformation often involves learning to suffer well, surrendering control, and trusting the Holy Spirit for the strength to walk into a new season of freedom, purpose, and deeper relationship with Christ.
