Podcasts about Scale

On Thursday's Mark Levin Show, U.S. Attorney's office in Minnesota has announced new indictments in the Somali community revealing industrial-scale fraud in the state's Medicaid programs, with half or more of the roughly $18 billion paid out since 2018 potentially fraudulent across at least 14 high-risk services. The fraud outpaces other states, risking essential services and ripping off taxpayers. Why isn't there any outrage from Democrats like Rep Ilhan Omar? Also, Inflation is decreasing significantly, and the U.S. economy is poised for improvement despite possible short-term dips, ultimately leading to growth. President Trump has implemented extensive pro-growth measures across sectors such as natural resources, food, commercial fisheries, and farming, including removing Biden-era regulations, and enacting massive tax and regulatory cuts reminiscent of Reagan's. Later, we have a growing terrorist threat in Europe stemming from the Israel-Hamas conflict in Gaza, which has been exported through operational networks involving Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran.  These Islamists are already in the U.S. waiting and plotting.   Afterward, sources are saying the Brown University murder, and the MIT nuclear expert murder are linked.  As of now, police have found the suspect's abandoned car, issued an arrest warrant with probable cause, and expanded the multi-state investigation to New Hampshire, canceling a press conference amid active operations.  Finally, Josh Hammer calls in to explain the attacks from Candace Owens, Megyn Kelly, and other podcasters, which are signs that he's speaking uncomfortable truths while others prioritize clicks and attention over substance.

0:00 Introduction: 11 reasons to stop weighing yourself1:07 Why you shouldn't weigh yourself2:58 Hormones and weight loss8:12 Sleep and weight loss 11:22 Healthy weight-loss tips 16:36 The best weight-loss advice Scale obsession is not helpful for weight loss. The rise in cortisol from scale anxiety alone is enough to stifle your progress! Here are 11 reasons why you shouldn't weigh yourself: 1. Water weightSome people can lose up to 11 pounds of water weight in just 2 days! Initial water weight loss can cause unrealistic expectations. Most people only lose 1 to 2 pounds per week. 2. Salt Salty foods can cause you to retain fluid, especially if you're consuming them with sugar. 3. HormonesA woman's menstrual cycle can often cause weight-loss fluctuations of around 3 to 7 pounds. A rise in cortisol can also prevent weight loss. 4. Location of fatThe worst type of fat is visceral fat, which accumulates around the organs. If you don't see weight loss right away, you could be losing some of the more dangerous types of fat first. 5. Muscle loss or gainLosing muscle isn't healthy! Your weight may be decreasing, but it could also be accompanied by serious side effects. Similarly, muscle weighs more than fat, so you won't see weight loss if you're building muscle. 6. Myxedema This type of fat is often found in people with hypothyroidism and is difficult to eliminate with diet and exercise alone. 7. Poor sleepOne week of poor sleep can increase insulin resistance! Poor sleep leads to snacking, increased visceral fat, lower testosterone levels, and higher cortisol and stress levels.8. Ozempic People lose weight with Ozempic, but typically regain it when they discontinue use. Around 20% to 40% of this weight loss is attributed to muscle loss.9. Microdamage from exercise Overtraining breaks down your muscles. Edema and swelling can cause your weight to increase after exercise. 10. MedicationMedications such as calcium channel blockers can cause weight gain. 11. ConstipationFiber intake and constipation can affect the number on the scale. Stop weighing yourself and focus on these healthy weight-loss tips instead:1. Waist-to-height ratio 2. Fasting insulin3. Appetite decreases 4. Tiny amounts of carbs can block fat burning5. Fix insulin resistanceInsulin resistance is the root cause of many chronic diseases. Fixing it is the key to getting healthy and losing weight.

When growth starts to feel messy, the real risk is not the chaos. It's what you quietly allow to slide. In this episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael and Jessica Mogill reflect on the last AMMA of the year and explore a recurring insight that emerges as firms scale. Most breakdowns do not start with big failures. They start with paper cuts, rushed training, and hires made out of urgency instead of alignment. This conversation unpacks how leaders should think when growth forces them to loosen their grip, without lowering the standard that got them there. Here's what you'll learn: When to recognize growing pains are signaling an actual standards problem, and not just temporary chaos How to approach training and delegation when you cannot be as hands-on, without letting quality slide How to evaluate hires made out of necessity and decide when filling a seat helps growth or quietly hurts it This final AMMA of the year offers a clear lens for scaling responsibly without normalizing mediocrity in 2026. ---- 02:14 — Michael shares his biggest lesson from the year and explains why there is no finish line in business or life 06:33 — Why the most important work in building something great is often mundane, repetitive, and unglamorous 10:27 — Why growth problems rarely show up as major failures and usually begin as small paper cuts and quality slips 11:01 — How tolerating minor issues quietly resets the standard for the entire organization 16:03 — The challenge of training as you scale and why leaders cannot rely on being hands-on forever 18:38 — How unclear expectations and rushed onboarding lead to performance breakdowns 22:17 — How to decide whether filling a role actually helps growth or creates more downstream work 23:06 — What standards leaders must personally protect as the business grows beyond them ---- Links & Resources: Knife Edge Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs Nick Saban ---- Learn what sustainable growth can look like for your firm at crispcoach.com. ---- Do you love this podcast and want to see more game changing content?

Robin Alex is the co-founder of HighLevel, a marketing automation and CRM platform that has grown to more than two million users since launching in 2018. The company scaled rapidly—doubling and tripling year after year—largely through a white-label model that allows agencies and implementation partners to resell the platform under their own brand. HighLevel now operates with roughly 2,000 employees worldwide and continues to ship new features, including AI-driven tools, at an unusually fast pace. In this conversation, Robin talks through the real reason HighLevel gained traction, how they've structured support to handle growth without a sales team, and why simplicity always wins.  He also shares how they prioritize product development and decide what to build, what to ignore, and how to test ideas quickly.  The episode offers a clear look into the operational principles behind HighLevel's rapid growth, its product philosophy, and how the team continues evolving the platform for agencies, implementers, and small businesses.

In this special episode, host Cindi Howson pulls together the most useful, and hard-won, lessons from a year of conversations with Data Chiefs leading the GenAI charge. With generative and agentic AI no longer a side experiment, this episode spotlights five practices early adopters can rely on to move from pilots to profit. Expect straight talk on what to prioritize, how to bring people with you, and how to scale AI with the trust, literacy, and guardrails that make impact stick.Key Moments:Tying AI to Real Dollars with Anand Iyer, Ecolab (02:10): Anand cuts through the GenAI FOMO and brings everything back to a simple survival test: if you can't draw a straight line from an AI initiative to top-line growth or bottom-line savings, it won't last. His lesson is a sharp reminder that “cool” doesn't scale, value does. Leading Through Ambiguity with Karen Stroup, WEX (06:01): Karen names what everyone's feeling: ambiguity is paralyzing. She explains how leaders earn trust by shrinking the unknown into learnable, bite-sized experiments and creating the psychological safety people need to engage instead of resist.Building Practical AI Literacy at Scale with Josh Cunningham, Lloyds Banking Group (12:42):  Josh shares how Lloyds Banking Group makes literacy impactful by meeting people where they are. Rather than one-size-fits-all training, they pair broad fundamentals with role-specific learning so every business unit can build confidence in ways that match their actual work. Scaling Responsible Agentic AI with Noelle Russell, AI Leadership Institute (25:09): Noelle steps in with a practical framework for building agentic systems that don't go rogue. She walks through the POET framework and stresses that responsible AI isn't a final checkpoint. It's something you embed from the first idea to production, with guardrails that protect people and outcomes.Embedding AI Where Work Happens with Ilan Twig, Navan (32:35): Ilan tells a classic early-adopter story: start with a business problem, move fast, and be ruthless about what needs building versus buying. His lesson is that AI wins when it's inside the workflow, supporting decisions at the point of impact rather than living in a separate tool. Don't Let Perfection Stall Progress with Ketan Karkhanis, ThoughtSpot (40:59): Ketan shares a culture gut-check: waiting for perfect metrics, perfect KPIs, or perfect clarity is how progress dies. He argues for visible, trust-building iteration, because in AI, speed to learning beats speed to certainty. Key Quotes:“One thing that people sometimes forget is that at the end of the day, it's all about are we either saving money or making money? And are you able to show that in the bottom line or the top line in a measurable way?” - Anand Iyer“I don't think there's any chief anything officer that should not be considering AI today. I think if you're not considering AI, you are at the risk of being disrupted because you're not going to be learning at the pace with the rest of the industry, and there's someone out there looking for a better way.” - Karen Stroup“It's trying your best to meet people where they are… Finding a way to anchor the [AI] learning to something that's relevant to their day-to-day role is always going to make it land better.” - Josh Cunningham“ When people lose 70% of their trust in you, they just don't buy from you, they don't work for you, they don't talk about you… and your business starts to die. I think that trust component is a human component… and it is underpinning all the other philosophies that I have.” - Noelle Russell“When you asked me about how to educate yourself on AI, I think that companies must make a decision, and quickly, this or that.” - Ilan Twig“ Don't let perfection be the enemy of progress.” - Ketan KarkhanisGuest Bios Anand IyerAnand Iyer is the SVP, Chief Data Officer at Ecolab, where he leads the company's global data and analytics strategy.

In this episode, Carsten Bick shares his path from building healthcare services businesses to leading PhaseWell Research. He reflects on what drew him to clinical research, the opportunity to expand patient and physician access in a fragmented industry, and why people remain central to creating a successful platform. Carsten discusses scaling clinical trials through thoughtful partnerships, why culture and trust matter as much as process and technology, and how Shore Capital's people-first approach aligned with his vision for long-term growth. He underscores the responsibility of building alongside experienced founders, staying close to patients, and letting purpose guide PhaseWell's strategy and leadership.Key Takeaways:People-first leadership comes first, shaping how teams are built, decisions are made, and care is delivered throughout the organization.Expanding access to clinical research requires engaging more physicians and patients in a highly fragmented industry.Trust, culture, and experienced partnerships enable growth while preserving quality, integrity, and alignment with mission.Long-term success is driven by staying close to purpose, investing in people, and building platforms alongside partners who share a long-term vision.Chapters:00:00 - Introduction05:57 - Expanding Access in a Fragmented Industry17:17 - People-First Leadership20:27 - Building Trust Through the Right Partnerships24:57 - Purpose, Scale, and Long-Term GrowthListen to our podcasts at:https://www.shorecp.university/podcastsYou'll also find other Microcap Moments episodes, alongside our series Everyday Heroes and Bigger.

Send us a textAs we talk through this topic together, we name the tension we've both felt: wanting to lose weight while also craving real peace. We explore what we've believed weight loss would give us and what God actually says about those longings. Instead of rigid plans or giving up entirely, we look at how inviting God into our food choices, body image, and emotions brings a kind of freedom a number on the scale simply can't. We share honestly about chasing thinness, the ache when affirmation fades, and the realization that even big changes in our bodies can't fix the places only truth can heal. Romans 12:2 keeps us anchored in renewal, not performance.We also talk about the two extremes we've seen in ourselves—obsession and apathy—and how the narrow road of stewardship brings clarity: caring for our bodies as God's handiwork while letting identity rest securely in Christ. That shift changes everything, moving motivation from fear to love, from self-focus to worship, and from quick fixes to sustainable rhythms. We share simple mind-renewal tools we actually use: breath prayers that settle the body, prompts that expose unhelpful beliefs, and small daily check-ins that turn eating into an act of trust. We speak openly about programs, medications, and surgeries without shame, framing them as possible supports—but not substitutes—for a renewed mind. Our hope is to offer gentleness, clarity, and a path forward for anyone longing for food peace and kinder self-talk. Class starts December 10thhttps://teamlifeisgood.com/goSupport the showLearn more about our Revelation Within Community: https://www.revelationwithin.org

You're working out, trying to cut back on sugar and cook at home more, but the scale hasn't moved in months. It's getting to the point where you are wondering, "What the heck am I doing wrong?" In this episode, I walk you through what's really happening when your weight stalls, why changing everything isn't the answer (or putting more effort), and how one of my clients went from sitting at the same weight for 8 months to finally losing 8 pounds in the first 60 days of us working together. And y'all— I didn't make her star tover or blow her entire weight loss plan out. Instead, we focused on adjusting the workout and eating habits that will make the most progress. So get ready as I share what a weight loss plateau actually is, why your body might be responding the way it is right now, and what's next. -Why being “kind of consistent” isn't enough to judge a plateau, and the question you need to ask yourself before changing anything -The difference between effort and effectiveness, especially if you've been repeating the same meal plan and workouts for months -Why switching plans too quickly keeps your body stuck, even when you're trying to “do better.” -Know exactly what a plateau is actually asking you to adjust, instead of abandoning everything and starting from scratch Book a call to get your custom holiday plan: https://calendly.com/superlysam/6-months-1-1-coaching-sales-call Apply for 1:1 Coaching: Ready to lose 10-20 pounds while eating foods you love?

If your growth still depends on referrals, inconsistent content, or hoping the premium client finds you, it's time to rethink how your marketing ecosystem is actually working. In this episode, I break down the 5 non-negotiable elements every Med Spa CEO needs in their marketing ecosystem to build trust, increase visibility, and create real demand without chasing trends or burning out. I talk about why we're in the middle of a trust recession, what that means for your patients' buying behavior, and how to trust-stack your marketing so you can confidently charge premium prices and stop worrying about fluctuations.    HIGHLIGHTS Why 5 non-negotiables are required to build trust, visibility, and demand. The trust recession and how patient buying behavior is changing. Why word of mouth alone no longer supports scalable growth. How paid advertising creates consistent visibility in your market. Why a content hub is essential for authority and long-term growth. On demand conversion triggers that pre-sell your expertise and offers. How internal marketing maximizes the ROI of your lead.   RESOURCES + LINKS Try Ask Heather AI for 30 Days HERE Apply for The Med Spa Advantage HERE   FOLLOW Heather: @heatherterveen Website: heatherterveen.com

What if the only thing standing between you and the next level is the courage to ignore the experts? In this encore episode of The Game Changing Attorney Podcast, Michael Mogill sits down with Kara Goldin, Founder of Hint Water and bestselling author of Undaunted, to reveal what it really takes to build a brand, a company, and a category from the ground up. From rejection and industry pushback to Goliath competitors and well-meaning “experts” who swear your idea won't work, this conversation is a blueprint for staying unshakably committed to your vision, even when no one else understands it. Here's what you'll learn: Why bold ideas are doubted before they're celebrated — and how to push forward anyway How to distinguish genuine insight from the limiting beliefs of others What it takes to stay persistent when you're creating something no one has ever done before If you want a real-world example of what unwavering commitment can create, this episode is it. ---- Show Notes: 04:32 — Why Kara says she never would have started Hint if she knew how difficult the journey would be. 06:34 — What it took to create a completely new beverage category and convince buyers it mattered. 08:57 — The moment a senior Coca-Cola executive dismissed her idea and told her Americans “love sweet.” 12:51 — How Kara learned to separate genuine expertise from limiting beliefs disguised as advice. 16:06 — What watching Ted Turner build CNN taught her about conviction and pursuing ideas others doubt. 22:01 — How giving up Diet Coke for her own health became the unexpected catalyst for creating Hint. 30:56 — How little she actually knew about the beverage industry and why that ignorance helped her innovate. 35:25 — How landing Starbucks became a breakthrough moment that suddenly reversed without warning. 39:07 — Why Kara believes dark days don't last forever and how unexpected opportunities follow adversity.

Watch the YouTube version of this episode HEREAre you a firm owner looking for ways to integrate AI into your business? In this episode of the Maximum Lawyer Podcast, Richard interviews Hamid Kohan, founder of Law Practice AI, about the rapid impact of AI and technology on law firm operations. Hamid introduces his three-part power model and discusses how these elements are transforming legal staffing, operations, and profitability. Hamid shares his three-part power model and how it can change hiring for firms. The model includes ⅓ local staff, ⅓ virtual staff and ⅓ AI. Including some of each can really transform a law firm and allow operations and staffing to benefit from aspects that might seem very different. Virtual staff can cut down your costs and AI can allow you to figure out ways to take some work away from busy local staff and simplify it.There are areas of a firm that would thrive using AI. AI can supplement what is going on and shift people into more customer facing roles where they are helping clients. Roles like legal assistance, document collections and document summaries can benefit from the use of AI. These do not really require much human interaction, so these areas can be streamlined and made to work in a way to benefit a firm.Listen to learn more!2:12 Defining the three part power model 4:29 The vision for an AI law firm operating system13:13 Reasons for the law field's slow tech adoption 40:12 Advice to start new AI-driven law firms 46:58 Areas of a firm that would thrive using AITune in to today's episode and checkout the full show notes here. Connect with Hamid:Website Instagram  FacebookTikTok Linkedin Youtube Resources:Join the Guild MembershipSubscribe to the Maximum Lawyer Youtube ChannelFollow us on InstagramJoin the Facebook GroupFollow the Facebook PageFollow us on LinkedIn

In today's episode, I'm talking with my client Chris Sandel, an eating disorder nutritionist who runs a high-ticket hybrid program helping clients fully recover from longstanding eating disorders. Chris has been in business since 2009, but when he came to me, he wanted a more dependable, sustainable way to grow without relying on trends, burnout-level content, or the hope of going viral. Together, we rebuilt and elevated his premium hybrid offer, clarified his messaging with a clean, repeatable framework, and implemented a simple but powerful marketing system that now allows him to consistently enroll aligned, high-paying clients. A huge part of that has been helping Chris develop a content approach that actually fits his personality and values, including returning to Instagram after years away and learning how to make the platform work for him, not the other way around. And because of this work, Chris doubled his revenue and had his highest income year yet... in a year when many practitioners struggled! If you've ever wondered what sustainable growth looks like without sacrificing your integrity or your energy, this episode will give you clarity and inspiration. TOP 5 QUOTES "I truly believe that people can fully recover… it doesn't matter whether it's been a couple of years or multiple decades." "I like the messiness of people's lives and how that interplays with nutrition." "I want to be able to find the thing that people want and message it in a way that entices them to come in." "There was just a trust... I will figure this out, and the only way I'm going to figure it out is by keeping at it." "I'm not one for dancing or doing trends, so I just focused on simple carousels where I can eloquently convey a single thought... and it works." TIMELINE SUMMARY [0:22] – Why Chris's fundamentals-first approach helped him grow sustainably in a difficult year for online practitioners. [4:03] – Chris shares how he became an eating disorder nutritionist and why he believes full recovery is possible. [12:13] – The turning point that led Chris to build a scalable high-ticket hybrid program, and why earlier group offers never stuck. [17:09] – How we structured his hybrid offer and created a messaging framework that allowed him to communicate its value with confidence. [28:01] – Chris's return to Instagram, why he refused trends, and how simple, thoughtful carousels now bring in major reach and new clients. [37:22] – How sending more frequent emails increased connection, engagement, and conversions. [46:41] – The transformation: clarity, consistency, and doubling his revenue without burnout or performative marketing. LINKS & RESOURCES Connect with Chris: Website – https://seven-health.com Instagram – @sevenhealthcompany Work with me inside The Nourished Business Accelerator (NBA) If Chris's story encouraged you to take a more grounded, sustainable approach to your own business, I'd love for you to rate, review, follow, and share the podcast. It truly helps more practitioners build aligned, profitable businesses without compromising who they are. Thanks for listening, and I'll see you next week on The Nourished CEO Podcast!

The biggest competitive advantage in banking right now isn't scale … it's speed. According to PwC, GenAI is reshaping the balance of power across financial services, and the banks that move fastest will define the next era of growth. In fact, 58% of banking leaders believe generative and agentic AI will be the single most transformative force in the industry over the next three years, and 55% already consider it their top investment priority—more than any other sector in financial services. What's truly disruptive is that AI is leveling the playing field. Smaller, more agile institutions now have access to the same intelligence, decision-making power, and client insights that once required massive scale. Speed—not size—is becoming the key differentiator. And this shift is pushing banks from asset-focused growth toward client-centered growth, where relevance, responsiveness, and rapid innovation drive real competitive advantage. Today, I'm joined on the Banking Transformed podcast by Sean Viergutz, Banking & Capital Markets Advisory Leader at PwC, to break down what this transformation means for leaders right now. We'll explore how banks can redesign operating models, build new capacity for growth, and turn AI from a cost-saving tool into a true driver of client value.

Join Nick Lamagna on The A Game Podcast with his guest Jordan Fleming! On this episode of The A Game Podcast: Real Estate Investing for Entrepreneurs, Nick Lamagna sits down with Jordan Samuel Fleming — real estate investor, SaaS founder, and the co-founder of smrtPhone, the all-in-one cloud phone system and power dialer built for real estate investors and high-volume sales teams. Jordan's story is anything but typical: a classically trained musician turned tech strategist who went from building systems in the Podio ecosystem to helping thousands of businesses tighten their follow-up, track every touchpoint, and scale from a couple deals a month to consistent high volume without burning out. You'll hear the real "behind the curtain" conversations that matter to investors right now:   ✅  Why most investors stall at 1–2 deals/month (and what the best operators do differently)   ✅  The fortune-in-the-follow-up framework: lead buckets, consistent touchpoints, and why your CRM is full of "found money"   ✅  How power dialing, call logs, recordings, and team accountability can expose leaks and immediately increase conversions   ✅  Real talk on cold calling, texting, and communication compliance — and why doing the basics well still wins   ✅  Where AI in real estate is going next (and how voice + automation will reshape acquisitions) Jordan also shares insights from his new book "Click. Call. Scale." — a practical playbook for building a phone-first sales system that helps real estate investors close more deals through better conversations, better data, and better process.  He also hosts the hit podcast That Real Estate Tech Guy. If you're wholesaling, flipping, buying rentals, running a acquisitions team, or building a real estate business that needs more leads and better conversions, this episode is a must.
