Recovery capacity in menopause is one of the most misunderstood reasons women feel sore, flat, or stuck—even when they're doing “all the right things.”  Let's break down four compelling research studies that challenge the idea that menopause makes you fragile, slow to recover, or incapable of training hard.  You'll discover why rest alone isn't the answer—and how sleep, stress, hormones, and training history quietly change the cost of your workouts. If you've been pushing harder but seeing fewer results, this conversation may flip what you think you know about recovery on its head.  Recovery capacity in menopause isn't about doing less—it's about doing what actually works now.

Adam Smith is often invoked as the intellectual godfather of modern capitalism — but he was also a moral philosopher. Judo Bank founder and former CEO Joseph Healy joins Gene Tunny to argue that Australia's market economy has drifted from Smith's vision. From weak competition and high household debt to corporate scandals and lobbying influence, this episode explores whether capitalism has been “hijacked by capitalists” — and why complacency may be Australia's greatest economic risk.Gene would love to hear your thoughts on this episode. You can email him via contact@economicsexplored.com. About this episode's guest: Joseph HealyJoseph Healy is an experienced Australian banking executive and the author of What Would Adam Smith Make of Modern Australia? He has had a long career in financial services in Australia and internationally, including as a co-founder and former CEO of Judo Bank, a specialist SME bank. Joseph has a longstanding interest in Adam Smith's work as both an economist and moral philosopher. In his book, he draws on The Wealth of Nations and The Theory of Moral Sentiments to assess the state of modern Australian capitalism — examining competition, corporate governance, banking, regulation, education, and the relationship between economic performance and societal wellbeing.What You'll LearnWhy Adam Smith must be read as both an economist and a moral philosopher.How shareholder value thinking reshaped corporate incentives from the 1980s onward.Why weak competition in banking, airlines, retail, and energy may be generating economic rents in Australia.How the shift of bank lending toward housing may have created systemic risk and underinvestment in SMEs in Australia.Why Joseph gives Australia a C+ overall — and why that grade could deteriorate.Timestamps02:25 – Why Joseph wrote to The EconomistThe 250th anniversary of The Wealth of Nations and reclaiming Smith's legacy.09:18 – Why Moral Sentiments still matters“Loved and lovely” — Smith's moral framework explained.16:30 – The legal test vs the moral test“It's not ‘Will we get caught?' — it's ‘Is this the right thing to do?'”18:29 – Shareholder value and the erosion of restraintHow incentives shifted corporate behaviour from the 1980s onward.27:39 – Banking concentration and the shift to mortgagesBig Four dominance and declining SME lending.31:05 – Systemic risk and household leverageIs Australia too exposed to housing debt?36:10 – Lobbying and barriers to competitionWhy reform is politically difficult.40:45 – Five areas of reformGovernment size, competition, tax reform, governance, trade unions & education.48:34 – The Qantas exampleLobbying, protection, and consumer impact.51:39 – What would Adam Smith make of Australia?The “report card”: A for trade, D for competition, C+ overall.55:11 – Reclaiming capitalism“Capture it back again so it's working for everybody.”Links relevant to the conversationJoseph's book, What Would Adam Smith Make of Modern Australia?https://majorstreet.com.au/products/what-would-adam-smith-make-of-modern-australia-br-i-small-by-joseph-healy-i-smallLumo Coffee promotion10% of Lumo Coffee's Seriously Healthy Organic Coffee.Website: https://www.lumocoffee.com/10EXPLOREDPromo code: 10EXPLORED

This episode opens with a simple question that hits home for many agents: Do you struggle with consistency? Rob Nelson is joined by Larry Kendall and Eric Thompson to review the pattern they found while researching Ninja Coaching clients who had their best year yet in 2025. Across different personalities, markets, and business styles, the common denominator was not a specific lead source or marketing tactic. It was consistency, and the clearest measurable indicator of consistency was turning in a weekly scorecard. They share that 87% of the "Best Year Yet" Ninha Coaching clients consistently turned in a weekly scorecard, making it the strongest correlation they found. The scorecard is positioned as the truth teller and the ultimate tool for tracking, gamifying, and sustaining the Ninja Nine habits over time. Rather than chasing results, the conversation emphasizes managing activities, because activities repeated over time create predictable outcomes. Larry and Eric walk through what the scorecard is, why it works, and how it has evolved, including modern enhancements like daily personal text messages and tracking open house conversations. They explain the five pathways to consistency, track activities, gamify, join a group, hire a coach, and find an encouragement partner, and show how the scorecard supports all five. They also discuss realistic targets and the idea that perfection is not required. A score of 70 out of 100 is the acceleration point where business becomes consistent, while missing one week is a mistake and missing two is the start of a new habit. The episode closes with practical guidance on how to restart after falling off, how to plan for 45 full on weeks and seven recharge weeks, and why keeping scorecards in a binder becomes a powerful way to measure progress and diagnose a slump. Larry reinforces the message with a personal example, his long running pushup log, showing how tracking drives consistency, and consistency drives results. Key Takeaways Consistency is the common denominator behind best year yet results, even when the specific business style varies Turning in a weekly scorecard is the strongest measurable correlation, with 87 percent of best year yet coaching clients doing it Scorecards shift focus from results to activities, which restores control, reduces frustration, and creates momentum The scorecard supports five ways to stay consistent, tracking, gamifying, joining a group, hiring a coach, and using an encouragement partner Missing one week is a mistake, missing two is the start of a new habit, so the goal is to avoid the second miss Managing activities is more effective than managing production, and it is especially useful for managers and sales leaders Modern enhancements include personal text messages with a FORD question and tracking open houses as a major buyer entry point Plan for 45 full on weeks and seven recharge weeks to build consistency with grace, sustainability, and real life flexibility Memorable Quotes Do you struggle with consistency The number one correlation between having a best year yet is that they turn in a weekly scorecard Most people do not fail because they do not know what to do, they fail because they do not do what they know consistently The answer may be you are not keeping score If you do the activities, the production takes care of itself Stop trying to manage production and start managing activity The scorecard is the truth You can miss one, that is a mistake, but if you miss two, that is the start of a new habit Two weeks at a hundred and ten weeks at zero is not the same as twelve weeks at seventy Links: Website: https://ninjaselling.com/ninja-podcast/ Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com Phone: 1-800-254-1650 Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNinjaSellingPodcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninjasellingofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/ The Ninja Flow Scorecard: http://www.ninjaselling.com/scorecard

In episode 312 of Absolute AppSec, the hosts discuss the double-edged sword of "vibe coding", noting that while AI agents often write better functional tests than humans, they frequently struggle with nuanced authorization patterns and inherit "upkeep costs" as foundational models change behavior over time. A central theme of the episode is that the greatest security risk to an organization is not AI itself, but an exhausted security team. The hosts explore how burnout often manifests as "silent withdrawal" and emphasize that managers must proactively draw out these issues within organizations that often treat security as a mere cost center. Additionally, they review new defensive strategies, such as TrapSec, a framework for deploying canary API endpoints to detect malicious scanning. They also highlight the value of security scorecarding—pioneered by companies like Netflix and GitHub—as a maturity activity that provides a holistic, blame-free view of application health by aggregating multiple metrics. The episode concludes with a reminder that technical tools like Semgrep remain essential for efficiency, even as practitioners increasingly leverage the probabilistic creativity of LLMs.

Trump has reassembled his 2020 election conspiracy team as Tulsi Gabbard leads an FBI raid in Fulton County, Georgia, seizing 700 boxes of ballots from the 2020 election. The raid represents Trump's strategy to undermine the legitimacy of the 2026 midterm elections before they even happen. With Republicans facing devastating losses in both the House and Senate, Trump knows two years of Democratic investigations and multiple impeachments await him. Will Sommer reports on the batshit conspiracy theories fueling this election attack, from Sydney Powell's Venezuelan voting machine claims to the Hammer and Scorecard supercomputer theory. Tulsi Gabbard, as Director of National Intelligence, has no law enforcement authority yet accompanied FBI agents and called Trump from the scene. The investigation resurrects discredited conspiracy theorists like Dennis Montgomery and references Hugo Chavez, dead for years, supposedly influencing Dominion voting systems. Meanwhile, Dan Bongino returned to podcasting after his brief FBI stint, immediately landing a Trump interview where the president threatened to seize control of elections in 15 states. The connection between the Fulton County raid, Tulsi Gabbard's investigation, and Trump's 2026 midterm strategy reveals a coordinated effort to cast doubt on any Democratic victories. Sydney Powell hints at something big happening, while Trump reposts QAnon theories about Italian satellites and CIA programs flipping votes. The legitimacy of future elections hangs in the balance as Trump deploys every conspiracy theory and charlatan from 2020 to poison the well for 2026.

Adding a second location is often treated like a milestone, but it's one of the fastest ways to put pressure on a healthy business if it's done too soon. In this episode of Cultivating Business Growth, Megan Spicer is joined by Willow Virtual CFO partner Katina Peters to break down a practical expansion framework designed to help business owners decide when growth makes sense, and when it doesn't. We introduce the Second Location Scorecard, built around three critical areas every owner should evaluate before signing a lease or hiring a team: Demand: Is your growth repeatable and sustainable, or is it temporary pressure? Cash: Can your cash flow absorb fixed costs, upfront expenses, and a slower-than-expected ramp? Capacity: Do your systems and team support growth without burning out the owner or leadership team? You'll learn why expansion should be treated as a strategy, not a reward, how to spot red flags before they become expensive mistakes, and what to fix first if the answer is "not yet." If you're feeling busy, maxed out, or considering opening a second location, this episode will help you make the decision with clarity instead of pressure.

In this episode of Building the Premier Accounting Firm, Roger Knecht and guest Matt Putra discuss the critical differences between budgeting and forecasting in accounting, emphasizing data-driven decision-making for e-commerce businesses. They explore how financial management, including KPIs and cash flow strategies, helps fast-growing consumer brands optimize profitability and scale effectively, with a focus on AI's transformative impact. In This Episode: 00:00 Introduction to Matt Putra and 8x 01:03 Matt's Journey to 8x and Data-Driven Decisions 02:52 Budget vs. Forecast: Key Differences 05:57 The Importance of Budgeting and Planning 08:24 Budgeting for External Stakeholders and Accountability 11:18 Lessons Learned from Ambitious Budgeting 15:00 Financial Management for Scaling Businesses 17:49 Scorecards vs. KPIs and Dashboards 21:55 Go-To Metrics and the Island Analogy 24:51 The Impact and Application of AI in Business 31:11 Advising Founders: Selling Peace of Mind 34:16 Gratitude and Divergent Thinking 37:51 Closing Thoughts and Resources Key Takeaways: Differentiate between budgets as fixed annual plans and forecasts as malleable, frequently updated financial outlooks for data-driven decisions. Implement scorecards with 5-15 critical metrics and clear targets to simplify problem-solving and boost team accountability. Prioritize cash flow management, customer lifetime value (LTV), and customer acquisition costs (CAC) for sustainable business growth and profitability. Integrate AI into business operations to enhance efficiency, reduce costs, and gain a competitive edge in the accounting profession. Understand that financial management services sell "peace of mind and confidence" rather than just data or models, addressing emotional components for founders. Featured Quotes: "If we're not in the, call it the top 10% of AI adopters, we're going to be left behind fairly quickly." — Matt Putra "We don't sell financial models. We do not sell cash flow forecasts. We do not sell scorecards. We sell peace of mind and confidence." — Matt Putra "If the business owner can hit within, say, 5%, 10%, their budget for the next year, it means they know well that business model." — Roger Knecht Behind the Story: Matt Putra recounts his transition from a CFO role with a grueling commute to founding eightx, a financial operations company. His desire for work-life balance during COVID-19 propelled him to create a business that simplifies finance for e-commerce brands. He stresses the emotional aspect of financial consulting, focusing on delivering confidence rather than just numbers. Matt Putra also shares a personal anecdote about his wife's support, which allowed him to take significant risks in building his company.

SUMMARY:  In this episode of Ops Experts Club, Aaron Hovivian and Terryn Turner break down how to build scorecards that actually drive performance, not just reporting. They walk through what to track, why it matters, and how to tie metrics directly to people and roles using EOS Level 10 meetings. The conversation emphasizes that numbers should tell a story, evolve as the business evolves, and align with company goals rather than existing just for the sake of tracking. Aaron and Terryn share real-world examples across marketing, sales, customer support, and operations, showing how role-specific metrics create clarity, accountability, and faster problem-solving. From email performance and lead quality to sales close rates and support ticket turnaround, this episode gives operators a practical framework for using scorecards to see what's really happening in the business—and to fix issues before they become costly problems.   Minute by Minute: 00:00 Introduction to Ops Experts Club 01:20 The Importance of Scorecards in Business 04:51 Tailoring Metrics to Individual Roles 09:39 Creating a Wish List of Metrics 12:15 Understanding the Story Behind the Numbers 16:51 Role-Specific Metrics for Marketing and Sales 20:21 Conclusion and Key Takeaways

Hormones and hot flashes with humor is exactly the kind of conversation women in midlife have been missing—real, honest, and refreshingly human. Let's get straight to what's actually happening in your body when symptoms like hot flashes, poor sleep, mood changes, and fatigue show up. Instead of treating midlife like a breakdown, we reframe it as a biological transition that deserves better information, better support, and better strategies. Get ready for a fun chat about hormones and hot flashes with humor and content you want served in a dish you'll love. My Guest: Dr. Carrie Jones, ND, FABNE, MPH, MSCP is an internationally recognized speaker, consultant, author and educator on the topic of women's health and hormones with over 20 years in the industry. Dubbed the “Queen of Hormones,” Dr. Jones is a Naturopathic Physician who did her 2-year residency focused on women's health and endocrinology. She serves as a consultant and educator for several women's health and lab-focused companies. Questions We Answer in This Episode: Why does humor and sarcasm work so well in hormone education for midlife women? How does a hormone expert personally navigate her own midlife transitions? How should women plan for long-term hormone health based on what we know now? What menopause symptoms are commonly overlooked or mistaken for “just aging”? When is the ideal time to start hormone therapy—and what if that window is missed? Who truly should not use hormone therapy—and what myths still cause fear? What will the next 5–10 years look like for women's hormone and menopause care?

What would it change in a trades business if the sales team stopped waiting on leads and started owning the pipeline? In this episode, Jordan White tells Chad Peterman how he moved to Nashville with a beat-up truck, slept on a kid's couch, and built a high-end roofing company that grew from $2M to just over $20M in four years, almost entirely off door-to-door hustle. Jordan breaks down how he and his partner built a visionary/integrator partnership, fed the business first instead of chasing early distributions, and created a culture where clean-cut, young hustlers can make multiple six figures by knocking on doors in affluent neighborhoods. The conversation connects directly to HVAC, plumbing, electrical, and other home service leaders who are tired of blaming "the market" or "this generation" and are ready to build a scoreboard-driven, people-first sales culture instead. If you lead a trades business and want a place to work on your leadership, culture, and growth strategy with other owners who get it, get plugged into The Arena, the private community built for home service leaders who refuse to coast.

Reinvesting profits to scale revenue – why they let the business eat first and delayed big distributions past $10M and $20M.

12 months ago, we laid the groundwork to evaluate President Donald Trump's second term as objectively as possible.Our goal was to take a few objective metrics to judge a president's success: Things like economic data, promises kept, and the sentiment of American citizens. Given how much analysis and opinion we engage with every day, we thought we could refer back to these benchmarks periodically as a nearly unimpeachable way to judge the president's performance.When I think back to this time 12 months ago, one big detail stands out: I wasn't here. In fact, with the timing of a true troll, my son was born on the day of Trump's inauguration. Just days before, we had published the set of metrics we'd use to evaluate the president. It was the last major piece we published before I stepped away from Tanglefor a month.Now, here we are. Trump's second term is now one year old (just like my son), and I'm back in the driver's seat, ready to use the metrics we developed last year to evaluate the Trump administration. Before we get started, I want to give a quick note about our process. The benchmarks we chose to track are mostly hard metrics, but with a few qualitative assessments. We wanted to include things that are easy to measure (like gas prices) as well as some things that take a little more effort to evaluate (like whether the administration has kept a promise or not).

What if we put standardized barcodes on products we buy which inform us of their sustainability, supply chain, human rights records, etc? That's the proposal of HEC & CNRS researcher Brian Hill. In his recent policy paper, he maps out an efficient way of shifting disclosure rules from companies to products - in the name of sustainability. This is a timely exchange, coming as it does as Europe reached an agreement last month to simplify sustainability reporting and due diligence requirements. Could Brian's digital, standardized scorecard be the key to filling in information and data gaps in this drive for smart product-level disclosure Europe should be aiming for? This ten-minute compact version of our monthly podcast discusses the essential points of his breakthrough research. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Estimated reading time: 9 Minuten Viele Vertriebsteams in Deutschland haben ein Problem, das man selten offen ausspricht: Sie sind erfahren, sie sind nett – und trotzdem verkaufen sie unter Wert. Nicht, weil die Leute faul sind. Sondern weil sie nie gelernt haben, wie gutes Verkaufen wirklich funktioniert. Oder besser: Sie haben es nie sauber trainiert. Wenn du heute Vertriebstraining einkaufst oder intern aufsetzen willst, dann geht es nicht um „noch ein Seminar". Es geht um Standards. Um Übung. Um Feedback. Und um einen Transfer in den Alltag, der sichtbar wird: bessere Gespräche, bessere Pipeline, bessere Abschlussquote. Warum „erfahren & nett" im Vertrieb nicht reicht Erfahrung ist Wiederholung – nicht automatisch Verbesserung Ich sehe das ständig: Jemand ist seit zehn Jahren im Vertrieb, war auf Messen, hat tausend Telefonate geführt, kennt jedes Produktdetail. Und trotzdem laufen die Gespräche immer gleich ab: viel erzählen, wenig fragen, am Ende „Schicken Sie mal Unterlagen". Das ist nicht böse gemeint. Das ist menschlich. Das Problem: Wiederholung ohne Standard ist wie Fitnessstudio ohne Trainingsplan. Du bist oft da – aber du wirst nicht zwingend stärker. Ein Vertriebstraining, das wirkt, macht aus „viel gemacht" ein „gezielt verbessert". Ohne Feedback bleibt alles Bauchgefühl Die meisten Verkäufer bekommen Feedback zu spät oder gar nicht. Wenn der Deal verloren ist, ist es zu spät. Wenn der Deal gewonnen ist, weiß keiner, warum. Also bleibt alles im Nebel. Genau da setzt gutes Vertriebstraining an: Es macht Verhalten beobachtbar und damit trainierbar. Vertriebstraining vs. Vertriebsschulung: der praktische Unterschied Was Teams wirklich einkaufen (und was sie brauchen) Viele nennen alles „Vertriebsschulung". Häufig ist das dann Wissensvermittlung: Produkt, Markt, Argumente, vielleicht ein bisschen Einwandbehandlung. Das ist nicht falsch – aber es ist oft nicht der Engpass. Der Engpass ist fast immer Verhalten im Gespräch: Fragetechnik, aktives Zuhören, Struktur, nächste Schritte, Commitment. Das ist Vertriebstraining: üben, wiederholen, Feedback, nochmal üben. Welche Formate wann funktionieren (Inhouse/Online/Hybrid) Inhouse-Vertriebstraining: wenn du ein gemeinsames Spielsystem willst (gleiche Sprache, gleiche Standards). Online-Vertriebstraining: wenn du häufiger in kleineren Dosen üben willst (Micro-Drills, Call-Reviews). Hybrid: wenn du Kick-off + Transfer-Begleitung kombinieren willst. Das ist oft der Sweet Spot. Die 4 Kompetenzstufen im Vertrieb (und warum sie alles erklären) Ein unterschätzter Grund, warum Vertriebstraining scheitert: Viele sind in einer Stufe unterwegs, in der sie nicht mal merken, dass sie etwas nicht merken. Klingt hart? Ist aber der Alltag. 1) Unbewusste Inkompetenz „Ich mache das doch schon immer so." Hier fehlt die Einsicht, dass etwas besser gehen könnte. Typisch: Monolog statt Diagnose, Angebot statt Problemverständnis. 2) Bewusste Inkompetenz Jetzt dämmert's: „Okay, ich verliere Deals – aber ich weiß nicht genau, woran's liegt." Das ist ein guter Moment. Denn ab hier kannst du trainieren. 3) Bewusste Kompetenz Du kannst es – aber noch nicht automatisch. Du denkst aktiv mit: Fragenkatalog, Gesprächsstruktur, nächste Schritte. Das ist anstrengend, aber es funktioniert. 4) Unbewusste Kompetenz (Coach-Falle) Top-Verkäufer können oft großartig verkaufen – aber schlecht erklären, wie. „Mach's halt so wie ich" ist kein Coaching. Genau deshalb braucht ein Vertriebstraining Standards und eine gemeinsame Sprache. Der fehlende Hebel: Standards, die messbar sind Standard = beobachtbares Verhalten, nicht „Gefühl" Wenn du dein Team fragst: „Wie gut sind wir in Kundengesprächen?" bekommst du Antworten von 3 bis 9 – und alle meinen etwas anderes. Ein wirksames Vertriebstraining definiert Standards so, dass jeder dasselbe sieht. Beispiel-Standard: Gesprächsführung & Bedarf Ein klassischer Gesprächsstandard umfasst z. B. Kontaktphase, Bedarfsanalyse, Fragetechnik, aktives Zuhören, Angebotsphase, Einwandbehandlung und Abschluss. Genau solche Bausteine findest du auch in strukturierten Programmen (z. B. Bedarfsermittlung, Fragetechnik, aktives Zuhören, Einwandbehandlung, Abschluss). Das ist keine Magie – das ist Handwerk. Mini-Scorecard für Termine (10 Punkte) Agenda gesetzt (Ziel & Ablauf in 60 Sekunden)? Problem sauber verstanden (Ist-Zustand)? Impact herausgearbeitet (Warum jetzt?) Entscheiderbild klar (Wer, wie, wann)? Budget/Business Case adressiert? Fragenanteil höher als Redeanteil? Einwände geklärt statt wegargumentiert? Nächster Schritt mit Datum vereinbart? Commitment (wer macht was bis wann)? Dokumentation im CRM innerhalb von 24h? Das ist die Basis, auf der Vertriebstraining plötzlich objektiv wird. Und fair. Weil nicht mehr der Lauteste gewinnt, sondern der, der Standards erfüllt. Anleitung: So setzt du ein Vertriebstraining auf, das wirkt Diese Anleitung zeigt dir, wie du ein Vertriebstraining so aufsetzt, dass es nicht als „Event" verpufft, sondern als Routine im Alltag ankommt. 1) Ziel & Messgröße festlegen Definiere 1–2 Outcomes (z. B. höhere Gesprächsqualität, mehr qualifizierte Termine, bessere Next-Steps). Ohne Messgröße wird Vertriebstraining zur Meinungsrunde. 2) Diagnose vor Inhalt Höre 10 Calls, schaue 5 Angebote an, prüfe 20 CRM-Einträge. Finde das echte Leck: Bedarf, Einwände, Pricing, Next Steps? 3) Standards definieren Lege fest, wie „gut" aussieht (Scorecard, Leitfaden, Beispiele). Standards machen Verhalten trainierbar. 4) In Drills trainieren (nicht in Folien) Kurze Übungseinheiten: Einwand-Drill, Frage-Drill, Closing-Drill. Wiederholen. Feedback. Wiederholen. 5) Coaching-Routine einbauen Wöchentlich 1:1 (20–30 Min): Call-Review, Deal-Review, Skill-Fokus. Coaching ist der Transfer-Motor. 6) Erfolg sichtbar machen Tracke 2–3 Kennzahlen (z. B. Next-Step-Rate, SQL-Rate, Win-Rate in Zielsegmenten). Vertriebstraining muss Resultate zeigen. Wenn du nur einen Punkt mitnimmst: Vertriebstraining ist kein Termin im Kalender. Es ist eine Gewohnheit im Team. Methoden, die wirklich Transfer bringen Rollenspiel – aber richtig Rollenspiele scheitern nicht am Rollenspiel. Sie scheitern an fehlenden Standards. Wenn niemand weiß, worauf bewertet wird, bleibt es Theater. Mit Scorecard wird es Training. Call-Reviews & Shadowing Das ist Gold. Nicht zur Bloßstellung, sondern zur Lernkurve. Du nimmst 10 Minuten aus einem Call, analysierst: Wo war die Diagnose stark? Wo wurde argumentiert statt gefragt? Danach ein konkreter Drill. Das ist Vertriebstraining im echten Leben. Micro-Drills (10 Minuten) Einwand-Drill: „Zu teuer" in 5 Varianten – jeweils mit Rückfrage statt Gegenargument. Frage-Drill: 10 Diagnosefragen, die auf Outcome und Impact zielen. Next-Step-Drill: Termin endet erst, wenn Datum + Aufgabe + Commitment stehen. Hier steckt die Logik drin, die auch Forschung zu Expertentum stützt: gezielte Übung an Teilaufgaben, mit Feedback, und wiederholter Ausführung. Genau das fehlt vielen „Seminar-only"-Ansätzen. Leadgeneration & Neukundengewinnung: Skills sind der Engpass Warum Leadgeneration ohne Vertriebstraining teuer wird Leadgeneration bringt Kontakte. Punkt. Ob daraus Pipeline wird, entscheidet der Vertrieb. Wenn dein Team aber im Erstgespräch keinen Bedarf herausarbeitet und keinen nächsten Schritt führt, dann wird Leadgeneration zur teuren Beschäftigungstherapie. Neukundengewinnung braucht Prozess + Gesprächsqualität Neukundengewinnung ist nicht „mehr machen", sondern „richtig machen": Zielgruppe, Erstkontakt, Qualifizierung, Abschluss. Und genau in der Qualifizierung trennt sich Spreu vom Weizen. Ohne Vertriebstraining für Quali-Gespräche landen zu viele falsche Deals in der Pipeline – und verstopfen alles. Die Übergabe (Marketing ↔ Sales) als versteckter Hebel Wenn Marketing MQLs liefert und Sales SQLs braucht, ist die Brücke das Gespräch: Fragen, Diagnose, Priorisierung. Hier lohnt sich ein eigenes Vertriebstraining nur für Lead-Qualifizierung (erste 15 Minuten, perfekte Fragen, klare Next Steps). Erfolg messen: Kirkpatrick fürs Vertriebstraining Vier Ebenen, die dir peinliche „Hat's gefallen?"-Fragebögen ersparen 1) Reaktion: War es hilfreich? 2) Lernen: Können sie die Skill-Bausteine? 3) Verhalten: Tun sie's im Alltag (Calls, Termine, CRM)? 4) Ergebnisse: Hat sich Pipeline/Win-Rate/Marge verändert? KPI-Set (einfach starten) Next-Step-Rate nach Erstgespräch SQL-Rate (Quali → echte Chance) Win-Rate in Zielsegmenten Sales Cycle (Zeit bis Abschluss) Discount-Rate (Preisdisziplin) Wichtig: Miss wenig, aber konsequent. Dann wird Vertriebstraining vom „nice to have" zum Wachstumshebel. Quick Takeaways Vertriebstraining ist Verhaltens-Training, nicht Wissens-Sammlung. Erfahrung ohne Feedback ist nur Wiederholung. Standards machen Leistung messbar – und Training fair. Micro-Drills + Call-Reviews schlagen „Tagesseminar" fast immer. Leadgeneration scheitert selten am Marketing – oft an Quali-Skills. Ohne Messung kein Momentum: nutze einfache KPIs. Fazit: Dein nächstes Vertriebstraining entscheidet sich im Alltag Wenn du willst, dass Vertriebstraining wirklich Umsatz bewegt, dann hör auf, Events zu kaufen. Bau ein System: Diagnose, Standards, Drills, Coaching, Messung. Dann entsteht echte Kompetenz – und zwar teamweit, nicht nur bei den Naturtalenten. Und ja: Nett sein ist gut. Aber im B2B-Vertrieb gewinnt nicht „nett". Es gewinnt Klarheit. Führung im Gespräch. Und die Fähigkeit, Entscheidungen zu ermöglichen. Genau das trainieren wir.

In this episode, Steph talks about the concept of the 'scorecard'—a mental tally we keep in relationships that tracks perceived wrongs and rights. This invisible scorecard can lead to resentment, frustration, and a drain on our energy, ultimately obstructing our ability to create meaningful connections and achieve our goals. Steph emphasizes that keeping score in relationships positions us as opponents rather than teammates, which can be detrimental to our emotional well-being and productivity.Steph outlines two major problems associated with the scorecard: first, that it creates a competitive dynamic where no one truly wins, and second, that it fosters 'problem energy'—low-frequency emotions that hinder our ability to find solutions. She encourages listeners to reflect on their own relationships and consider whether they are keeping score. The episode concludes with a challenge to ditch the scorecard and embrace teamwork in our relationships for a more fulfilling life.Stay connected and learn more by signing up for "The Impact Effect" newsletter at stephsaffer.com.

In this episode, we are joined by boxing legend Raul Marquez in the first half to talk #SmithMatias and Zach of ⁨@TUSCPod⁩ to breakdown Nikita Tszyu vs Michael Zerafa, and #RochaCuriel2Dalton Smith shocked the world and knocked out the boogeyman, WBC junior welterweight champion Subriel Matias. One crushing right hand sent Matias to the canvas, and changed both fighters' trajectories for their career. In this show, we will have multiple guests as Dakota takes some time away from the show, as we unpack the biggest event in boxing this year so far. Other topics discussed: Can Emmanuel Rodriguez become a three-time bantamweight world champion after beating Fernando Diaz, coming off a layoff? Bantamweight Jeyvier Cintron knocked out Victor Sandoval in a Round of the Year contender. Also, Junior welterweight Nestor Bravo scored a second-round one-punch highlight reel knockout against Pedro Campa.Then, we shift to Agit Kabayel. How good is he? My gut says really good. He stopped Damian Knyba on Saturday night. We talk about his recent run, and where he stands in the division, as well as his unique fighting style. Plus, we talk about Jadier Herrera, the new interim WBC lightweight world champion, who stopped Ricardo Nunez. Herrera hit the deck in the fight and came back to win. He could be elevated to full champion if Shakur Stevenson stays at junior welterweight after the Teofimo Lopez fight. Then, we preview next week. The big fight is on Friday night. Alexis Rocha will rematch Raul Curiel in a DAZN main event. The first bout ended in a draw. Curiel is training with Robert Garcia. Will that be a factor? The co-feature will see Manny Flores vs Jorge Chavez in a regional rematch at junior bantamweight, featured on a marquee card. Notables on the undercard are Joel Iriarte, Cayden Griffiths, and John “Scrappy” Ramirez. Plus, we also talk about Australian boxing. Nikita Tszyu will face Michael Zerafa in a middleweight fight.0:00 Raul Marquez on Dalton Smith-Subriel Matias37:50 Agit Kabayel 46:22 Jadier Herrera 52:30 Nikita Tszyu-Michael Zerafa01:04:48 Undercard bouts to follow01:08:23 Alexis Rocha-Raul Curiel II1:15:30 Undercard

Over the past year we've been told affordability would cap prices, that demand would fade, that higher costs of living would finally slow housing down. And yet, here we are – national home prices finishing the year almost 10 per cent higher, with some capital cities recording extraordinary double-digit growth.  So what really happened?  In today's episode, we're stepping away from opinions and into the evidence as Dr Andrew Wilson unpacks his end-of-December House Price Report, and it reveals not just where prices moved in 2025, but why they moved, and what that means as we head into 2026.  We'll talk about the cities that surged, the markets that quietly turned the corner, why units are suddenly back in favour, and why the next phase of this property cycle is likely to look very different from the last one.  If you want clarity instead of noise, and data instead of doom-and-gloom, this is an episode you'll want to stay with. Takeaways  ·         House prices have surged nearly 10% over the past year. ·         Patience is crucial in property investment; rushing leads to poor decisions. ·         2025 saw the strongest growth in property prices in three years. ·         Interest rates have significantly influenced buyer and seller confidence. ·         The market is expected to stabilize, with steady growth in 2026. ·         Long-term investment strategies are essential for success in real estate. ·         Understanding economic cycles is key to making informed investment decisions. ·         The current property growth is based on fundamentals, not speculation. ·         Chronic under-supply and population growth are driving market demand. ·         Investors should not make decisions based on short-term news.   Links and Resources: Answer this week's trivia question here - https://www.propertytrivia.com.au/ ·        Win a hard copy of How To Grow A Multi-Million Dollar Property Portfolio In Your Spare Time.

Well, 2025 is now in the books, allowing us time for reflection, resolution-making and pretending we always knew how the year would turn out. And unlike many, we also look into the rear-view mirror to see how we did with last year's predictions. That's what we'll do in today's blog.

The Geek in Review closes 2025 with Greg Lambert and Marlene Gebauer welcoming back Sarah Glassmeyer and Niki Black for round two of the annual scorecard, equal parts receipts, reality check, and forward look into 2026. The conversation opens with a heartfelt remembrance of Kim Stein, a beloved KM community builder whose generosity showed up in conference dinners, happy hours, and day to day support across vendors and firms. With Kim's spirit in mind, the panel steps into the year-end ritual: name the surprises, own the misses, and offer a few grounded bets for what comes next.Last year's thesis predicted a shift from novelty to utility, yet 2025 felt closer to a rolling hype loop. Glassmeyer frames generative AI as a multi-purpose knife dropped on every desk at once, which left many teams unsure where to start, even when budgets already committed. Black brings the data lens: general-purpose gen AI use surged among lawyers, especially solos and small firms, while law firm adoption rose fast compared with earlier waves such as cloud computing, which crawled for years before pandemic pressure moved the needle. The group also flags a new social dynamic, status-driven tool chasing, plus a quiet trend toward business-tier ChatGPT, Gemini, and Claude as practical options for many matters when price tags for legal-only platforms sit out of reach for smaller shops.Hallucinations stay on the agenda, with the panel resisting both extremes: doom posts and fan club hype. Glassmeyer recounts a founder's quip, “hallucinations are a feature, not a bug,” then pivots to an older lesson from KeyCite and Shepard's training: verification never goes away, and lawyers always owed diligence, even before LLMs. Black adds a cautionary tale from recent sanctions, where a lawyer ran the same research through a stack of tools, creating a telephone effect and a document nobody fully controlled. Lambert notes a bright spot from the past six months: legal research outputs improved as vendors paired vector retrieval with legal hierarchy data, including court relationships and citation treatment, reducing off-target answers even while perfection stays out of reach.From there, the conversation turns to mashups across the market. Clio's acquisition of vLex becomes a headline example, raising questions about platform ecosystems, pricing power, and whether law drifts toward an Apple versus Android split. Black predicts integration work across billing, practice management, and research will matter as much as M&A, with general tech giants looming behind the scenes. Glassmeyer cheers broader access for smaller firms, while still warning about consolidation scars from legal publishing history and the risk of feature decay once startups enter corporate layers. The panel lands on a simple preference: interoperability, standards, and clean APIs beat a future where a handful of owners dictate terms.On governance, Black rejects surveillance fantasies and argues for damage control, strong training, and safe experimentation spaces, since shadow usage already happens on personal devices. Gebauer pushes for clearer value stories, and the guests agree early ROI shows up first in back office workflows, with longer-run upside tied to pricing models, AFAs, and buyer pushback on inflated hours. For staying oriented amid fractured social channels, the crew trades resources: AI Law Librarians, Legal Tech Week, Carolyn Elefant's how-to posts, Moonshots, Nate B. Jones, plus Ed Zitron's newsletter for a wider business lens. The crystal ball segment closes with a shared unease around AI finance, a likely shakeout among thinly funded tools, and a reminder to keep the human network strong as 2026 arrives.

Episode Overview In this episode of the John Kitchens Coach Podcast, John Kitchens and Joel Perso close out the Agent to CEO six-part series by unpacking the final and most critical milestone: The Leadership Flywheel. This conversation is all about building a self-managing, self-sustaining team—one that doesn't rely on you as the bottleneck. John and Joel break down how elite leaders design lean organizational structures, recruit true A-players, and create leadership development systems that generate momentum instead of burnout. If you've ever felt trapped by your team, overwhelmed by people decisions, or unsure how to scale without chaos, this episode delivers the blueprint for moving from operator to architect—and leading at the CEO level. Key Topics Covered The Leadership Flywheel Explained What a flywheel really is—and why leadership must create momentum, not friction Why teams fail when leadership systems aren't intentional How leaders move from "doing" to designing the business Designing a Lean, Modern Org Structure Using the Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) to separate people from roles Why you must define functions before hiring humans How AI-first thinking reshapes org design and eliminates unnecessary roles A-Players, Defined What an A-player actually is (and what they are not) Why "job done 90% of the time within the pay range" is the real standard How resourcefulness separates high performers from everyone else AI, VAs, and Fractional Talent The correct order: AI → VAs → Fractional → Full-time Why hiring out of pain creates long-term damage How modern leaders raise the talent ceiling while lowering overhead Scorecards, Agreements, and Ownership Why expectations fail—and agreements win How data-driven scorecards eliminate ambiguity Creating clear ownership so leaders stop rescuing their team Leadership Development That Scales Why leadership isn't just for managers—it's for everyone Creating micro-leadership opportunities inside your organization The power of daily wins, public accountability, and cultural ownership Preventing Burnout in A-Players Why C-players burn out A-players faster than workload How to identify when roles need to split before performance drops Monitoring hours, opportunity alignment, and growth paths Resources & Mentions The Agent to CEO Framework Functional Accountability Chart (FAC) Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Concepts from Jim Collins, Patrick Lencioni, David Marquet Final Takeaway You don't scale by hiring more people—you scale by designing better leadership systems. The Leadership Flywheel isn't about control. It's about clarity, ownership, and momentum. When leaders design the structure, recruit intentionally, and develop leadership at every level, the business stops relying on them—and starts growing without them. "You can't build a self-sustaining business without developing leaders. That's the flywheel." – John Kitchens Connect with Us: Instagram: @johnkitchenscoach LinkedIn: @johnkitchenscoach Facebook: @johnkitchenscoach If you enjoyed this episode, be sure to subscribe and leave a review.
