Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso break down Milestone 5 of the Agent to CEO Framework: The Execution Roadmap—the critical bridge between strategy and real-world results. Most agents don't fail because they lack ideas or effort. They fail because they work on the wrong things, in the wrong order, with no execution rhythm. John and Joel unpack why second-best problems kill momentum, how to identify the single biggest constraint in your business, and how elite CEOs turn long-term vision into focused 90-day sprints. This episode is a masterclass in prioritization, accountability, and disciplined execution—designed for agents and team leaders who are done guessing and ready to scale with intention. Key Topics Covered Why Most Businesses Stall The real reason businesses fail: working hard on the wrong problems Why second-best problems only create incremental results How to identify the one thing that can 2–3X your business in 90 days The CEO Mindset Shift Moving from task-based thinking to purpose-driven execution Understanding your role as a leader in an AI-powered, consumer-driven market Why your value must go beyond tasks that can be automated Identifying Your True Constraint The most common constraints at each revenue level: Under six figures: no compelling offer Six figures to $500K: not enough leads $500K–$1M: conversion issues $1M–$3M: delivery bottlenecks and owner dependency Traffic, conversion, fulfillment, and retention—how to diagnose what's really broken The Execution Roadmap Explained Turning strategy into a focused 90-day action plan Why one priority per quarter beats five half-finished initiatives How to reverse engineer outcomes instead of guessing your way forward Setting Objectives That Actually Work Writing clear, measurable objective statements Defining success before starting Avoiding vague goals filled with buzzwords and zero accountability Key Results & Accountability How to define results—not tasks Why numbers matter more than opinions Creating key results that stretch the team without overwhelming them Ownership & Execution Rhythm The power of single-point ownership (one person, not a committee) Using weekly sprints to maintain momentum Why reporting beats brainstorming in execution meetings How Scrum principles accelerate progress without chaos Build, Fix, or Optimize Deciding whether your next move is: Building something new Fixing what's broken Optimizing what's already working Why optimization often produces the fastest ROI Resources & Mentions Agent to CEO Framework – Core operating system for scaling with clarity Scrum by Jeff Sutherland – Execution rhythm and sprint methodology Good Strategy / Bad Strategy by Richard Rumelt CoachKitchens.ai – AI-powered execution support for real estate CEOs John Kitchens Executive Coaching → https://johnkitchens.coach Final Takeaway Execution—not effort—is the difference between agents who stay stuck and CEOs who scale. If you can identify your real constraint, commit to one priority, assign clear ownership, and execute in focused 90-day sprints, everything changes. Clarity eliminates overwhelm. Discipline creates momentum. And momentum compounds into freedom. "If you could only work on one thing for the next 90 days that would 2–3X your business, what would it be?" That question—and your willingness to answer it honestly—determines your next level.

The Joint Readiness Training Center is pleased to present the one-hundredth-and-eighteenth episode to air on ‘The Crucible - The JRTC Experience.' Hosted by the Senior Enlisted Medical Advisor and Role II Observer-Coach-Trainer for the Task Force Sustainment (BSB / CSSB), MSG Timothy Sargent on behalf of the Commander of Ops Group (COG). Today's guests are all combat medicine professionals across the JRTC. SFC William Deutsch is the Senior Medical OCT with TF-3 (IN BN), SFC Robert Schimmelpfenneg is the Medical Advisor and Role II OCT with TF Sustainment (BSB / CSSB), and SFC Anthony Norris is the Senior Medical OCT with Live Fire Division. This episode dives deep into combat medicine at the tactical small-unit level, focusing on what 68W medics truly face in a large-scale combat operations environment. The discussion highlights how today's medics arrive from Basic Combat Training and Advanced Individual Training with significantly more clinical capability: whole blood transfusions, chest tubes, finger thoracotomies, FAST exams, etc. Yet often lose proficiency once they reach their units due to lack of repetitions, limited clinical exposure, and competing taskings like motor-pool duties and gate guard. The panel emphasizes the widening gap between what new medics learn in the schoolhouse and what line units actually reinforce day to day. Just as importantly, the episode stresses that modern LSCO demands a return to mastery of basics: triage under mass-casualty conditions, reassessments, deliberate casualty collection point (CCP) management, documentation, and base-level soldier tasks such as security, dispersion, movement, and survivability. We routinely observe high-casualties at JRTC, often 60–80 casualties at once and hundreds per rotation. Poor triage and poor soldier-skill fundamentals, not lack of “sexy medicine,” are the leading causes of died-of-wounds outcomes. The episode also examines how units can better sustain medical readiness during home-station training. Leaders discuss integrating medics into ER rotations, EMS ride-alongs, sick-call operations, and realistic trauma/medical lanes that reinforce both prolonged field care and everyday DMBI cases. They argue that NCOs must reclaim ownership of training through proper DTMS programming, use of existing doctrinal resources, and deliberate linkage to mission-essential tasks. The conversation closes on three high-value priorities for the future fight: deliberate triage, accurate/documented patient care, and competent CCP & CASEVAC execution—all grounded in disciplined soldiering, not just advanced interventions. Ultimately, the episode makes clear that on the LSCO battlefield, combat medics must be clinicians, communicators, and soldiers, capable of saving lives while enabling commanders to maintain combat power forward.

Consumer NZ says travellers could struggle to get a refund - after revelations two Jetstar baggage scales at Wellington Airport may not have been accurate. Checks after a complaint in September, revealed the portable scales were uneven and below approval standards. Jetstar's been told to pull them out until they're re-verified. Consumer NZ Advocacy Head, Jessica Walker, says if Jetstar charged too much, people could be entitled to repayment. "If they can prove that they were overcharged, then that would be ideal. But the fact that Jetstar is saying that people weren't overcharged absolutely makes this trickier." LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Most companies hire. The best ones recruit. In this episode of The $100M Entrepreneur Podcast, Brad Sugars, founder and chairman of Action Coach, explains why relying on job posts keeps businesses stuck — and why real scale comes from actively finding, attracting, and keeping A-players. He breaks down the true difference between hiring and recruiting, the principle behind A's hiring A's, and how a single great person can completely transform a company's trajectory. Brad shares real examples from his own businesses — recruiting a competitor's top salesperson, bringing in a server who boosted dessert sales overnight, and building teams that multiply results instead of divide them. He also lays out the simple three-page process he uses before filling any role: getting clear on who he wants, what the job truly is, and how success will be measured.Brad then breaks down the leadership framework that turns talent into real performance — vision, mission, values, and OKRs to set direction, along with strong communication, decision-making, and feedback to drive execution. He explains why culture isn't a slogan; culture is strategy, and it's the strongest magnet for A-players.He also shares a simple method for evaluating your team across competency, productivity, passion, and focus, giving you a clear picture of who's driving growth and where improvements matter most.If you're ready to recruit like the pros, elevate your leadership, and build a team that builds the company, hit play.About Brad SugarsInternationally known as one of the most influential entrepreneurs, Brad Sugars is a bestselling author, keynote speaker, and the #1 business coach in the world.

Featuring Dr. Lauren Hartman M.D.Dr. Jim sits down with Dr. Lauren Hartman, a double board-certified specialist in Adolescent Medicine and Pediatrics, contributor to Psychology Today, and author of the forthcoming book Freeing Children & Young Adults from Shame, Scales & Stigma.In this episode, Dr. Hartman breaks down what every parent, clinician, and educator needs to understand about eating disorders—and why it's not your fault. She highlights the essential role families can play in the healing process and offers practical guidance for supporting adolescents with compassion and clarity.We explore the Barbie effect, the rise of GLP-1 medications, and how social media and comparison culture fuel distorted body image and perfectionism. Dr. Hartman underscores the absurdity of our societal ideals: the original 1959 Barbie, scaled to human size, would stand 5'9”, weigh 110 pounds, measure 39–18–33, and—ironically—would meet criteria for anorexia. And Barbie's measurements haven't improved much since.Zooming out, we look at the cultural forces that perpetuate body shaming and misunderstanding about what “healthy” truly means. Dr. Hartman shares how to talk with adolescents about their eating disorders, what treatments show the strongest evidence, and how to navigate parental shame without derailing recovery.Finally, we discuss the powerful role of Internal Family Systems (IFS) as an integrative therapeutic approach for adolescents and families—an essential model for clinicians working in this space.This episode is a must-listen for anyone supporting young people on the path toward healing, nourishment, and self-compassion.WCMI networking group A networking group for mindfulness-focused clinicians dedicated to learning together & collaborating for more information click here

The Trump administration has been trying for months to ban AI regulations at the state level. And its latest gambit to roll such a measure into the congressional National Defense Authorization Act appears to have failed. House Majority Leader Steve Scalise said Tuesday that GOP leadership is now “looking at other places” to include that measure after reportedly facing pushback from both parties.Plus, New York recently became the first state to enforce an AI law designed to protect consumers from "algorithmic pricing." And Amazon pulled back on AI dubbing for some international content after anime fans complained.

JOIN OUR FACEBOOK GROUP: https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1Bmudi9HTK/Most business owners think they're burned out because they're doing too much. The truth is you're burned out because you don't actually know where your time is going — and that's the reason your business isn't scaling.In this video, Chris walks you through the Impact Time Audit: the one-week process we use with trades and home-service owners to reveal exactly where their hours are disappearing. Once you see the truth on paper, everything changes. You'll know what tasks drain your energy, which ones are below your pay grade, and what your next hire should actually be doing.You'll also learn how to track every 30 minutes for seven days, assign Energy and Value levels, place each task into the four Quadrants, and diagnose where your time leaks are. Most owners discover 20+ hours a week trapped in low-value, low-energy work — the busywork that keeps you stuck.This audit gives you clarity. It shows you the exact tasks your next hire should take off your plate and gives you the path to scale without adding chaos.Start your Impact Audit today, and next week Chris will walk you through the five hires every real business needs — and how to know exactly when you can afford them.CONNECT WITH ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA!TEXT ME: 509-905-4109INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/chrisleeqb/?hl=enFACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/chrisleeqb/TIKTOK: https://www.tiktok.com/@chrisleeqbSPONSORSPartner Spotlight: 1SEO Digital Agency: At Next Level Pros, we teach you the best ways HOW to market your business.

Send Steve a Text MessageOne note can say everything—if you know how to shape it. We dig into the practical craft of turning scales and theory into expression by focusing on what we call vocal tools: bends, slides, hammer-ons, pull-offs, and vibrato. The thread running through it all is control. It's not enough to know a technique exists; you have to own it so it lands with intention, confidence, and feel.We start by reframing technique as a means to a musical end, aligning fundamentals with your bigger goal of playing solos that sound creative and human. From there, we break down bending beyond simple half- and whole-step targets. You'll hear why microtones matter in bluesy phrasing, how reverse and ghost bends create lift, and what it takes to squeeze emotion from a single sustained note without overplaying. We share drills for intonation—matching bent notes to targets, stabilizing at pitch, and choosing a release that fits the groove—so your touch reads deliberate rather than lucky.Then we stack vibrato on top, treating it like a personal signature rather than an afterthought. Wide and slow, narrow and quick—each choice signals a mood, and consistency is the difference between soulful and shaky. You'll learn how to apply vibrato over a held bend without falling sharp or flat, and how to adapt your width and speed to the song's tempo, gain level, and style. Throughout, we keep returning to the same idea: context guides taste. A tender ballad, a gritty blues, or a high-gain shred passage will each ask for a different touch.If you want your solos to sing rather than recite, this conversation gives you a roadmap for practicing with purpose and hearing your guitar like a voice. Subscribe for more actionable lessons, share this episode with a friend who's stuck in scale patterns, and leave a review telling us which bend or vibrato style you're working to own next.

Send us a textComedy can tell the truth about tech faster than a slide deck—and Jason Yeager proves it. We sit down with the creator behind MyTechCEO to unpack how satire, timing, and taste can outperform dry explainers, win brand partnerships, and build a loyal audience without resorting to shock value. If you've wondered how to make complex ideas irresistible to watch and easy to share, this conversation lays out a practical path.Jason breaks down the engine behind rapid growth: a smart blend of evergreen jokes and trend-driven content that lands while the market is paying attention. We talk through why AWS, Microsoft, and crypto brands back a satirical format, what they're buying beyond impressions, and how a distinct voice carves space in a crowded feed. We also dig into the AI hype cycle. Jason's take is clear: AI won't replace creators with taste. As machine-made sludge rises, audiences will seek real, human judgment. Use AI to raise quality, speed edits, and spot patterns—then let your taste make the final call.We go deeper on credibility: how to avoid becoming a meme page, why negative bait erodes trust, and how careful idea selection builds staying power with founders and VCs. Jason shares how his operator background shapes content strategy, how audience reactions reveal the psychology of tech (especially around AGI anxiety), and how to evolve a media brand into products without leaning on weak “shill” tactics. For builders, we map a playbook for using AI-native and no-code tools to go from idea to prototype faster, while keeping narrative sharp and audience-first.If you care about creator strategy, startup storytelling, and the future of media in the AI age, you'll leave with tactics you can use today.

We all know by now that plants grown in living, thriving, life-filled soil, give us living, thriving, life-filled food... but the steps to getting there in the face of a multinational industry devoted to toxic, nutritionally empty, addictive - and highly profitable - ultra-processed 'food-like substances' are harder to see. This week's guest, Daphne du Cros, spends her life deep in the mycelial networks of food and farming systems, bringing both into genuinely regenerative balance. Daphne is a food policy researcher, educator, and farmer. She holds a PhD in Food Policy at the Centre for Food Policy at City St. George's University of London, and a Master's in Environmental Science and Management from Toronto Metropolitan University in Canada. She is Director and Coordinator at Shropshire Good Food Partnership; Director at Light Foot Enterprises; Project Lead at Food Forward BC (where BC stands for Bishop's Castle, not British Columbia or any of the other potential options) - and she's co-owner of Little Woodbatch CIC, a farm just outside BC that hosts the Bishop's Castle Community Seed Bank. She is the author of the town's Community Food Resilience Strategy - the only such policy in Shropshire.Daphne and I are relatively near neighbours, we have swapped seeds - her more than me - and share ideas about systems thinking and how we might evolve our world. She's deeply involved at every level from actual growing up to governmental meetings trying to get those in power to find some wisdom when it comes to food resilience, food security and all the other things we say as we try to get them to move away from the corruption innate in our system towards something that actually works in service to life.

This week, we're slithering back into the world of Zootopia. Judy Hopps (Ginnifer Goodwin) and Nick Wilde (Jason Bateman) return for their biggest case yet in Zootopia 2, teaming up with their new reptilian bestie Gary De'Snake (Ke Huy Quan) to uncover why reptiles are mysteriously banned from the city. Old friends pop in, new faces steal scenes, and the dynamic duo's chemistry is still as sharp as ever.Visually, the movie is stunning, like, “I want this as my desktop background” stunning. And Judy and Nick's banter? Still top tier. But while the film tackles big themes like discrimination, power, and community, it plays things a little too safe, making some moments feel predictable when they could've hit harder.So grab your popcorn and join us as we break down the case, the comedy, the commentary, and whether Zootopia 2 was worth the trip back.

Holiday Special: Join us for the Dear FoundHer... Forum Virtual Open House + Networking Event on December 9th. Meet other women business owners, connect, and experience the support you've been missing. Sign up through the link in the show notes—it's free to join us. Two fashion insiders walk through how a single white tee became the core of a cult basics brand that now lives in both retail and direct to consumer channels. Lindsay Pinchuk talks with perfectwhitetee co-founders Jen Menchaca and Lisa Hickey about the years they spent in showrooms and retail stores, the gap they saw for reliable year round basics and the way a partnership with a fabric expert let them obsess over fit, fabric and how their pieces actually feel on real women. They describe fit tests on bodies of different ages and sizes and they show how feedback from boutiques and customers turns each tee and sweatshirt into a staple women reorder in multiple colors.When COVID hit, their independent retail partners served as a lifeline as supply chains stalled and boutiques turned to perfectwhitetee for product they could still put in customers' hands. From there the direct to consumer side grew as shoppers sent DMs that asked for more colors and styles, which pushed Jen and Lisa to build a Shopify site and to treat lifestyle driven ads and email as key tools for connection and loyalty. Again and again they come back to a simple idea. Strong basics and strong businesses start with a clear customer, a clear edge and a community that trusts you in both retail and direct to consumer spaces.Episode Breakdown:00:00 How Listening To Customers Built A Cult Basics Brand03:12 Meet perfectwhitetee Founders Jen Menchaca And Lisa Hickey04:22 From Showroom And Retail Stores To The Perfect White Tee Idea06:50 Spotting A Gap In Basics And Building A Fabric First Fashion Brand08:24 What Makes A Perfect White Tee Fit Fabric Community And Confidence12:44 Launching Right Before COVID And Leaning On Retail Relationships18:25 Relationships Community And A “No Asshole” Policy For Business Growth24:23 From Wholesale To Direct To Consumer How Ads And UGC Fueled Demand33:43 Black Friday Inventory Fail Owning Mistakes And Fixing Operations41:37 What Is Next For perfectwhitetee Wovens Mens And Deeper Community43:07 Three Actionable Steps For Women Starting A Product BusinessConnect with Jen Menchaca and Lisa Hickey:Follow perfectwhitetee on InstagramLinks:Subscribe to The FoundHer Files and check out our female founded holiday gift guide!

Send us a textReputation travels faster than personal branding when the right people vouch for you. That idea sits at the core of our conversation with Evolve Commerce Club founder Carlos Monteiro, who traces a path from helping Danish companies enter Brazil to building an invite-only network of senior leaders across 48 markets. We dig into how perspective, generosity, and consistent follow-through transform one-off intros into compounding trust—and why that matters most for executives navigating career transitions.We unpack the early stumbles and the breakthrough: focusing on seasoned professionals who once represented a company but now need to represent themselves. Carlos explains how Evolve's paid club delivers tangible value with curated matchmaking, private expert sessions, and monthly off-the-record circles designed for honest asks, not pitches. As member outcomes grew, companies began commissioning targeted dinners and private workshops, giving the community a clear monetization path without sacrificing signal quality.We also get practical about tools and tactics. Despite doubts in parts of Europe, WhatsApp won because it's where people already are, driving daily engagement with minimal friction. Looking ahead, Evolve is investing in an AI agent to summarize profiles, automate thoughtful check-ins, and surface timely connections as careers evolve—augmenting human judgment rather than replacing it. Along the way, members are self-organizing meetups from Lisbon to Dubai, proving the culture is strong enough to scale.If you're a senior leader in transition or a connector at heart, you'll find a playbook for building trust-first networks: vet carefully, reward generosity, meet members where they are, and let results speak louder than branding. Subscribe, share this with a colleague who's rethinking their network strategy, and leave a review to tell us what part of the conversation you want us to go deeper on next.This episode was recorded in the official podcast booth at Web Summit (Lisbon) on November 12, 2025.

In this week's Huddle Breakdown Extra Time, Alan and James react to Celtic's shock 3–1 win away to Feyenoord, a performance nobody expected after the St Mirren debacle. They break down how Celtic produced one of their best European displays in years — pressing with intelligence, controlling transitions, and showing real identity and bravery — while also asking whether it was an outlier or the start of something real. The lads analyse the tactical changes under O'Neill and Maloney, standout displays from Yang, Donovan, Idah & Scales, and where caution remains ahead of a tricky trip to Easter Road.
