People are quitting their jobs a lot these days. Should you try to avoid it or let people go? It depends…. There are some good reasons why someone might leave their job: relocation retirement family illness new opportunity I wouldn't consider any of these “quitting”. They are reasons for change. No one would fault your company for them and so it doesn't hurt recruitment/retnetion. What does hurt though is when someone feels bad enough that they quit - decide it's not worth it. It's important to understand the difference between these two things and the real reason why someone would bail on gainful employment. This will help to understand how to give people what they need to have a joyful work experience and stay. Have a generous rest of the week.

We talk a lot about delivering in business (though probably still not enough). We know the game of giving more value, being of service, and overdelivering to create results. But what gets talked about far less is how often that delivery comes at the expense of your own bandwidth, clarity, or boundaries, especially when you really care. In this solo episode, I'm unpacking what it actually looks like to serve powerfully without losing yourself in the process. We're talking about expectation-setting, emotional labor, clean boundaries, and why real leadership means being honest about what's yours to hold… and what's not. Because the truth is, most burnout doesn't come from giving too much. It comes from holding what was never meant to be yours. In this episode, you'll hear: Why overdelivering is often just self-protection in disguise How this one thing creates so much trust and reduces emotional labor What clean delivery actually looks like when you care deeply The difference between proving your value and embodying your promise Why boundaries don't limit client results (and how to navigate the fine line that exists there) The biggest shift I see people make to feel immediately lighter in their business Episode Links Join my Facebook group Connect with Jackie on Instagram Learn more about Jackie on her website

From Entrepreneur to Legal Media Mogul: The Rise of Dennis Meador In this dynamic episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe sits down with Dennis Meador, a trailblazer who's shaking up the legal media landscape. Dennis is the founder of the Legal Podcast Network, a platform that is quickly redefining how legal professionals present themselves, grow their practices, and connect with the modern client. From an entrepreneurial journey that started in a troubled childhood to building an industry-changing brand, Dennis shares the wisdom, grit, and creativity that fueled his rise from scrappy startup hustler to visionary legal media mogul. A Journey Forged in Adversity Dennis' story begins in stark circumstances. Growing up surrounded by poverty and hardship, where his mother's associates were often on the wrong side of the law, he developed a keen sense for business and people out of sheer necessity. By 14, Dennis was already orchestrating local “gig economy” ventures—managing lawn mowing, raking, snow shoveling, and paper routes—discovering early that assembling opportunity for others could be more profitable than doing the jobs himself. This street-smart approach to entrepreneurship would become a hallmark of his future endeavors. Breaking Into Legal Marketing Although Dennis' initial foray into business was far from the legal world, he eventually found himself in legal marketing, initially hesitant about working with attorneys. However, he was drawn in by the logical, debate-driven mindset of lawyers and discovered he could connect with them through reason rather than emotional sales tactics. This unique relationship and appreciation for attorneys' logic-based approach inspired Dennis to consider how he could further serve this niche. The Spark Behind Legal Podcast Network The idea for the Legal Podcast Network was born from Dennis' deep experience in content creation and a transformative podcast project he led in Austin in 2019. By creating high-quality, multi-camera podcasts for musicians, entrepreneurs, and chefs, Dennis quickly found himself at the center of Austin's creative scene, proving that individuals don't have to wait for traditional media— they can be the media. Building on this, and realizing how much attorneys wanted to make their own voices heard (but didn't have the tools or time), Dennis envisioned a full-service, high-impact content platform built specifically for the small law firm. Solving Authority and Content Challenges for Lawyers The Legal Podcast Network goes far beyond just producing podcasts. Dennis and his team offer attorneys a complete content ecosystem: from recording and producing professional-quality podcasts, to extracting and posting 30+ pieces of social and website content per episode, to handling all the distribution logistics for the client. What problem is this solving? Two huge ones: Authoritative Positioning: Attorneys need to stand out in a sea of sameness. Most have generic, template-based websites; the Legal Podcast Network offers engaging, highly relevant content that instantly elevates their credibility and expertise. Content Overwhelm: Producing consistent, high-quality digital content is a massive time drain—especially for small firms. With Dennis' platform, lawyers can simply show up for a short recording session and reap the rewards of a month's worth of expertly repurposed material. Why Storytelling—and Podcasting—Matters for Attorneys In an era when trust and expertise are the new currency, Dennis argues that audio and video content are exponentially more powerful than written articles for building credibility. Podcasting is uniquely accessible: clients can consume episodes passively on the go, and attorneys can showcase not only their knowledge, but also their authenticity and personal style. Whether aiming to attract direct clients, impress referring peers, or establish industry thought leadership, podcasting creates a lasting advantage—especially for smaller law firms unable to outspend larger competitors on traditional advertising. Myths Busted and Misconceptions Addressed One major misconception Dennis addresses is that podcasting is a massive time commitment for attorneys. In reality, with the right support, attorneys can invest just 30–45 minutes monthly and receive an entire suite of content. The platform's done-for-you approach makes professional podcasting accessible even to legal professionals who aren't seasoned public speakers or media personalities—the only requirement is a willingness to answer client-centric questions candidly and clearly. Challenges of Scaling a Vision While launching the Legal Podcast Network was straightforward for this veteran entrepreneur, scaling the business presented significant operational hurdles—especially building the right systems, onboarding processes, and infrastructure to serve a rapidly growing roster of demanding clients. Dennis shares how careful, measured growth and continuous improvements in client communication were key to maintaining a high-quality customer experience and reputation. Surprising Successes and Powerful Results Unexpectedly, the platform has attracted interest not just from attorneys, but also from other legal industry service providers and even rival marketing agencies eager to outsource podcasting production to Dennis' team. This validates the company's innovative model and broad appeal. Moreover, the stories Dennis shares highlight how clients are already seeing enhanced visibility, authority, and client engagement from their podcasts, as their content surges in online search results—and even catches the attention of colleagues and potential referrers in other states. Advice for Niche Media Entrepreneurs Dennis closes with advice for anyone building a specialized media platform: reverse-engineer your service from the client's real needs, listen closely to their pain points, and address objections proactively. He reveals how he continuously refines his sales and product approach, stays abreast of digital trends by “living in the algorithm,” and focuses on delivering tangible results for a tightly defined audience. The Future of Legal Marketing—and Beyond Looking ahead, Dennis sees podcasting and multi-platform content as a rising standard in legal services marketing, driven by generational shifts in media consumption habits. While not every lawyer will become a podcaster, those who embrace this model now will be well-positioned for the future as Generation Z and Alpha increasingly turn to podcasts and social video for information and decision-making. Dennis also teases new projects, like his forthcoming show “BAM: Building Authority through Media,” combining his knack for storytelling with a touch of nostalgia and a focus on marketing education. Key Takeaways: Authenticity Wins: Modern clients crave transparency and real expertise. Podcasting allows lawyers to show, not just tell, what sets them apart. Small Firms, Big Impact: Legal practices with small budgets can outmaneuver big competitors by dominating digital platforms with the right strategy. Done-For-You Is the Future: Time-starved professionals benefit from plug-and-play content solutions rather than doing it all themselves. Niche Focus is Essential: Serving a tightly defined client base—and speaking directly to their needs—drives authority, respect, and premium business. Podcasting is Here to Stay: As media consumption habits evolve, multi-format content production (especially audio and video) will be a key marketing pillar for service professionals. Tune in to hear Dennis' inspiring story, practical advice, and his bold vision for the “new media” age in professional services.

In this week's episode, Cassie discusses how she learned to scale her business from a place of peace, rest, and inner well-being. In it, she touches on: How she spent the first 7 years of her career as an entrepreneur in fight or flight, trying to keep up and always feeling stressed and frantic, constantly How using techniques to feel "okay" in your business - tapping, breathwork, somatic work, nervous system work - can sometimes keep you trapped in a cycle of always needing a tool to be "okay" and how much freedom can come from not relying on these things.

Hey there, friends! In this episode, I'm diving deep into a critical question: Are you giving up right before your breakthrough? I share a powerful story about the "Three Feet From Gold" narrative, which perfectly illustrates how close we often are to success when we're tempted to quit. Resistance isn't a stop sign - it's actually a signal that you're on the right path and growth is imminent. Drawing from my personal experiences and work with clients in Simplify, I explore how our mindset plays a crucial role in achieving goals. Many of us interpret challenges as reasons to give up, when in reality, they're opportunities for expansion. I use a relatable TikTok example of a 30-day health challenge to demonstrate how transformation takes time and commitment. The key message? Stay persistent. Your breakthrough might be just around the corner. Whether you're working on a business goal, personal development, or any significant challenge, remember: don't surrender when things get tough. You're likely much closer to your goal than you realize. Want more? Check out my free mini-course at simplifywithAmandaB.com/mini-course to supercharge your productivity. Keep pushing forward!

In this Season 10 finale of The Remarkable Retail Podcast, Steve interviews Vuori CEO & Founder Joe Kudla live on-stage during the closing keynote of the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York. Steve and Michael also are on-stage for a session gleaning the top retail trends of the year so far and set the stage for what's most important to focus on the balance of the year.Instead of covering the week's headlines, Michael and Steve zoom out to examine the trends that have defined the year thus far. Tariff turbulence remains the dominant storyline, with the July 9th extension deadline looming and limited trade progress made—raising uncertainty about supply chains, pricing, and margins. Retailers are already grappling with rising costs and making difficult decisions about whether to absorb the impact through vendor, consumer, or margin adjustments.They spotlight a troubling acceleration in store closures, forecasting 2025 as a record year for retail contraction, particularly in drugstore and department store categories. Meanwhile, growth continues to concentrate, with Amazon, Walmart, and Costco accounting for over half of all incremental retail gains. Smaller out-performers, such as Vuori and Abercrombie, stand out, but the middle is collapsing through a combination of unremarkable business designs and lackluster execution.The hosts also analyze the contrasting fortunes of Walmart's soaring apparel success versus Target's continued slump and reflect on emerging disruption from agentic AI—potentially reshaping how consumers search, shop, and connect with brands. With luxury contraction predicted for the first time in 15 years and labor dynamics in flux, retailers face a complex and volatile landscape.Then, it's over to an on-stage interview with Vuori CEO & Founder Joe Kudla, who joins Steve live for the closing keynote at the CommerceNext Growth Show in New York City for a candid and inspirational conversation about scaling a lifestyle brand with purpose. Joe shares how Vuori—rooted in the beachside town of Encinitas, California—pivoted from a near-collapse to a $5.5 billion valuation last year, thanks to an obsessive focus on product quality, fabric innovation, and deep community connection.Kudla walks listeners through Vuori's growth strategy: starting with DTC success, expanding to wholesale, and now operating over 80 physical stores—each serving as a local brand hub. He discusses how in-person retail drives stronger omni-channel customers and why authenticity in influencer partnerships is more important than ever in a crowded media landscape.As Vuori expands globally with new stores in London, Shanghai, and Seoul, Joe remains grounded in his role as the brand's chief product evangelist and men's fit model. His leadership lesson? Stay vulnerable, stay curious, and always lead with great products.

In this powerful episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Stephanie Warlick, founder of 5FT View Consulting and author of Dark and Silent Office, to unpack the misunderstood link between ADHD, entrepreneurship, and transcendental meditation. Stephanie shares how discovering meditation transformed her leadership, calmed her overactive mind, and sparked a new level of creativity. From being labeled “too much” to becoming a sought-after fractional COO, she offers real-world insights on building inclusive workspaces, overcoming visionary blind spots, and turning neurodivergence into a superpower. If you've ever felt out of sync with traditional structures—this episode is your permission to lead differently. About the Guest:Stephanie Warlick is the founder and CEO of 5FT View Consulting, an international bestselling author, HR strategist, and fractional COO. Diagnosed later in life with ADHD, she integrates mindfulness, operational clarity, and neurodiversity advocacy into her work. Her book Dark and Silent Office explores how to build inclusive, accessible workplaces for all. Key Takeaways: Transcendental meditation can enhance both calm and creativity, especially for high-performing minds. ADHD is not a flaw—it's often the driver of entrepreneurial innovation. Visionary leaders must learn to let go, delegate, and get out of their own way to scale. Inclusivity isn't just compliance—it's about making sure everyone is empowered to contribute. Self-awareness of your strengths and blind spots is key to sustainable leadership.

Julie De Angulo is the VP of Ecommerce and Digital at Bajio Sunglasses, a premium polarized fishing eyewear brand purpose-built for serious anglers, from saltwater flats to bass tournaments. Bajio combines Patent Pending LAPIS lens technology with hyper-targeted storytelling to serve one of the most gear-obsessed subcultures in outdoor retail. Julie leads the charge in turning that product obsession into a scalable digital channel, anchored in retention, merchandising, and cultural fluency.Before joining Bajio, Julie spent nearly two decades in Ecommerce and digital marketing, scaling brands across home goods, pet supplements, fashion, and accessories. Her background in mass communications gave her a sharp instinct for message-market fit, one she's since sharpened into a full-funnel skillset spanning email, SMS, SEO, and paid acquisition. At Bajio, she joined when the brand had little to no Ecommerce presence, and has since built a high-performing revenue channel from the ground up.Whether breaking down how to tell product stories that resonate with niche audiences, mapping customer journeys from first click to long-term loyalty, or translating brand values into conversion-focused creative, Julie brings a tactical yet brand-led perspective to Ecommerce strategy. She shares what it takes to grow when you're starting from zero, why not all anglers are created equal, and how to build sustainable foundations that scale with authenticity.In This Conversation We Discuss:[00:38] Intro[00:49] Focusing on a passionate niche audience[02:19] Building a scalable foundation for growth[04:31] Learning early that data drives everything[06:32] Repositioning a brand beyond wholesale[07:54] Tailoring messages to regional fishing niches[10:00] Hiring guides instead of paid influencers[11:18] Separating community from ad creative[12:37] Electric Eye, Social Snowball, Portless, Reach & Zamp[18:59] Contributing to a mission-led product story[20:53] Scaling small brands with real impact[22:23] Balancing SKU simplicity with flexibility[25:03] Responding to viral demand with local supply[25:53] Forecasting smarter with predictive analyticsResources:Subscribe to Honest Ecommerce on YoutubeFlorida-based polarized sunglasses for fishing https://bajiosunglasses.com/Follow Julie De Angulo https://www.linkedin.com/in/julianadeanguloSchedule an intro call with one of our experts electriceye.io/connectDrive revenue through affiliates & referrals socialsnowball.io/honestRevolutionize your inventory and fulfillment process portless.com/Level up your global sales withreach.com/honestFully managed sales tax solution for Ecommerce brands zamp.com/honestIf you're enjoying the show, we'd love it if you left Honest Ecommerce a review on Apple Podcasts.

Why are Poland's young voters turning to the right? With his veto powers, Poland's president-elect Karol Nawrocki could halt the pro-EU government of Donald Tusk. Poland is a NATO member and backs Ukraine in the war with Russia. Scaling up security is an issue almost all Poles agree on, yet there are some signs of shifting attitudes - on foreign policy and immigration. We examine the gender gap among voters and the recent election discourse to understand how conflicting priorities and enduring conservative values are shaping the eastern flank of the West.
