You've probably heard me talk a lot about niching into brand photography... and for good reason. It changed my business and my bookings. But today, we're zooming out and talking about something I don't cover nearly enough: what it looks like to simply add brand photography to the services you already offer.Because here's the truth: you don't have to completely niche down to benefit from this work. And for so many photographers (weddings, families, seniors, interiors), adding brand photography in 2026 might be the smartest, most profitable move you make. In this episode, we're breaking down why.We're talking:Why brand photography helps you avoid burnoutThe income consistency brand photographers see year-roundThe creative side of brand shootsWhich photographers transition beautifully into brand photography, and whyHow your existing skill set probably already makes you perfect for this nicheLinks & Resources

This time around, we have a bit of a different format, featuring the book that started it all for me, The 4-Hour Workweek. Readers and listeners often ask me what I would change or update, but an equally interesting question is: what wouldn't I change? What stands the test of time and hasn't lost any potency? This episode features three of the most important chapters from the audiobook of The 4-Hour Workweek. The audiobook, produced and copyrighted by Blackstone Publishing, is available wherever audiobooks are sold. You can find it on Audible, Apple, Google, Spotify, Downpour.com, or wherever you get your favorite audiobooks.This episode is brought to you by:Gusto simple and easy payroll, HR, and benefits platform used by 400,000+ businesses: https://gusto.com/timMomentous high-quality creatine for cognitive and muscular support: https://livemomentous.com/Tim Shopify global commerce platform, providing tools to start, grow, market, and manage a retail business: https://shopify.com/tim Coyote the card game​, which I co-created with Exploding Kittens: https://coyotegame.comTIMESTAMPS[00:00:00] Start.[00:02:31] Mini-retirements: embracing the mobile lifestyle.[00:09:22] The birth of mini-retirements and the death of vacations.[00:11:03] The alternative to binge traveling.[00:16:14] Purging the demons: emotional freedom.[00:18:43] The financial realities: it just gets better.[00:24:24] Fear factors: overcoming excuses not to travel.[00:30:08] When more is less: cutting the clutter.[00:39:29] The Bora-Bora dealmaker.[00:43:11] Questions and actions.[00:44:22] Take an asset and cash-flow snapshot.[00:45:02] Fear-set a one-year mini-retirement in a dream location in Europe.[00:48:38] Prepare for your trip.[00:59:42] Adding life after subtracting work.[01:01:51] Depression and boredom: it's normal.[01:05:31] Frustrations and doubts: you're not alone.[01:12:01] The point of it all.[01:13:37] Learning unlimited: sharpening the saw.[01:17:24] Service for the right reasons.[01:20:05] Questions and actions.[01:22:46] Make an anonymous donation to the service organization of your choice.[01:24:05] Take a learning mini-retirement in combination with local volunteering.[01:28:42] The top 13 new rich mistakes.*For show notes and past guests on The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast.For deals from sponsors of The Tim Ferriss Show, please visit tim.blog/podcast-sponsorsSign up for Tim's email newsletter (5-Bullet Friday) at tim.blog/friday.For transcripts of episodes, go to tim.blog/transcripts.Discover Tim's books: tim.blog/books.Follow Tim:Twitter: twitter.com/tferriss Instagram: instagram.com/timferrissYouTube: youtube.com/timferrissFacebook: facebook.com/timferriss LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/timferrissSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The New Yorker contributing writer Anna Russell joins Tyler Foggatt to discuss the rise of family estrangement in mainstream culture. Recent studies have found that more than a quarter of all Americans are currently estranged from a relative. They talk about how the idea of going “no contact” has gained traction in mainstream culture, the personal and generational shifts that can lead people to distance themselves from relatives, and why family bonds feel less inviolable than they once did. They also look at the political disagreements that can lead to decisions to cut off contact, whether close family relationships can survive deep ideological divides, and what therapists and researchers say about the prospects for reconciliation following estrangement. This week's reading: “Why So Many People Are Going ‘No Contact' with Their Parents,” by Anna Russell “The Meaning of Trump's Presidential Pardons,” by Benjamin Wallace-Wells “Nick Fuentes Is Not Just Another Alt-Right Boogeyman,” by Jay Caspian Kang “The Darkest Thread in the Epstein E-mails,” by Jessica Winter “Kash Patel's Acts of Service,” by Marc Fisher  Tune in to The Political Scene wherever you get your podcasts.Please help us improve New Yorker podcasts by filling out our listener survey: https://panel2058.na2.panelpulse.com/c/a/661hs4tSRdw2yB2dvjFyyw Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Across generations, birth workers have held space for families with skill, love, and deep purpose. In this episode, Dr. Rebecca Dekker talks with Elder Midwife Charlotte Shilo-Goudeau, a licensed Certified Professional Midwife from Louisiana, and Chanté Perryman, Director of Programs at Evidence Based Birth®, certified doula, and student midwife.

Chanté reflects on how her experiences as a doula shaped her path into midwifery and her vision for compassionate, individualized care.

Send us a textIn this episode of The Matt Brown Show, Matt sits down with Mike DiManno, CEO of EmployInsure, to unpack the truth about the modern employment crisis. Rising healthcare costs, endless compliance requirements, and outdated staffing models are pushing businesses to the breaking point.Mike explains why today's employment infrastructure no longer serves employers or employees, and how Evoove is leading a new movement called Employment as a Service — a model that lets businesses “rent” employment instead of owning it.

✨ Episode Summary:In this heartwarming holiday episode, Cheri pops out of her retreat-mode to drop a cozy, candid Thanksgiving chat straight from her pink treehouse. Inspired by a silent meditation retreat and a real-talk moment with a client, she gets real about why gratitude sometimes feels forced—and how to gently shift into a more loving, ease-filled practice. With stories of chapstick, cranky teens, and making lunches with love, Cheri invites us to stop overthinking gratitude and start living it. This episode ends with a beautiful, breath-centered guided meditation on love and thankfulness.

Matt and Mike Lisowski take listeners through the arc of their lives—from childhood as a Gold Star family in Georgia and Germany after losing their father, to the diverging but ultimately converging paths that led them to West Point.

The brothers reflect on how loss, family, and service shaped who they became and the lives they've built beyond the military.

Die Erbschaftssteuer-Initiative dürfte an den Abstimmungen vom 30. November abgelehnt werden, zeigt die neuste SRG-Umfrage. Die Gegner befürchten, dass Wohlhabende nach einer Annahme der Initiative ins Ausland abwandern. Auch bei der Service-citoyen-Initiative zeichnet sich ein Nein ab. Weitere Themen: · In den USA sollen die Akten rundum den verstorbenen Sexual-straftäter Jeffrey Epstein veröffentlicht werden. Beide Parlamentskammern haben einem entsprechenden Gesetzesentwurf zugestimmt. US-Präsident Donald Trump hat angekündigt, das Gesetz unterschreiben zu wollen. · Die Schweizer Fussball-Nationalmannschaft hat sich für die Weltmeisterschaft nächstes Jahr in den USA, Kanada und Mexiko qualifiziert. Die Schweiz hat das letzte Qualifikationsspiel gestern mit einem 1:1 gegen den Kosovo beendet und löst damit das direkte WM-Ticket. · Die Schweiz springt im jährlichen Klimaschutz-Ranking um ganze sieben Plätze nach vorn. Sie schneidet damit deutlich besser ab als beim letzten Mal - aber sie bleibt im Mittelfeld.

This article delves into strategies managers can utilize to enhance one-on-one sessions with their subordinates. Here's how to develop managerial skills that inspire and empower. Key Takeaways Leadership is Service: Your role as a manager is not just to manage tasks but to support, inspire, and develop the team around you. Personalization and Preparation in One-on-Ones: Tailor your approach to each individual based on their unique strengths, learning styles, and motivational triggers. Continuous Feedback and Growth: Consistently evaluate and reconcile projections and actual performance to encourage ongoing development. Leadership as a Service to Your Team In today's fast-paced automotive landscape, the role of a leader transcends traditional boundaries of direction and oversight. It's about providing every conceivable resource for team success, from emotional to technical support. Sean V. Bradley insightfully points out that "a manager's job is literally defined in my opinion as…to provide all of the resources that my team is going to need." Transforming Managerial Role Managers often adopt an authoritarian style, dictating without understanding team dynamics. The transcript challenges this narrative, emphasizing the value of empathy and understanding in leadership. By adopting a servant-leadership mindset, managers can "coach, mentor, teach, inspire, lead, and train," fostering an environment where employees thrive. "You get to do this. You are a manager. You get the opportunity to coach, mentor, teach, inspire, lead, and train a human being," Bradley asserts. Impact on Team Culture Adopting such strategies transforms team cultures, enhancing how team members interact internally and with customers. A working environment characterized by high morale and effective communication will naturally yield better results. Moreover, it ensures higher retention rates, with employees feeling valued and understood—a crucial asset amidst the high turnover rates plaguing the industry. The Art of Personalization and Preparation in One-on-Ones Preparation marks the fine line between a productive one-on-one and a mundane meeting. It's not just about showing up with a checklist but about tailored engagement. Managers like Sean emphasize the importance of knowing your team members on a deeper level—what motivates and challenges them. Creating a Comprehensive Employee Profile A pivotal aspect of efficient one-on-ones is crafting personalized employee profiles. Sean advises, "Create a personalized profile. I want to know about my subordinates; I want to know your home situation, your hobbies, and what's important to you." Understanding personal motivations and struggles allows managers to customize their support and development strategies, enhancing engagement and improving performance. Tailoring Communication and Feedback Success lies in adaptation and personalization. For instance, adapting communication strategies based on individual team members' learning styles—whether they are kinesthetic or auditory learners—ensures that feedback and instruction resonate effectively. "Seek first to understand and then to be understood," Bradley suggests, highlighting the importance of communication tailored to personal needs. Continuous Feedback and Growth Through Iterative Projections Effective managers excel at steering their team towards continuous growth by understanding and evaluating performance iteratively. Sean notes that "there needs to be a tracking system. Your salespeople should be tracking…what type? Am I taking a walk-in up?" Such methodologies help in identifying trends and areas needing improvement. The Power of Projections and Reconciliation Forward-planning complemented by effective back-tracking is key to sustained progress. Managers need to emphasize clarity in projections and consistency in follow-through. "Help him establish his vision board…if your why is so important, what you have to do is not going to matter," Bradley explains, articulating the need for motivational alignment with practical goals. Bridging Gaps through Insightful Reconciliation Reconciliation between projected and actual outcomes ensures actionable feedback loops. This involves dissecting deviations, recognizing patterns, and recalibrating goals. A manager's ability to "reconcile with him…what their projected and forecast was basically with their actual results" empowers employees, encouraging accountability and learning. Realizing the Potential of Effective Management Equipped with insight and strategies, managers now have the tools to transform how they conduct one-on-ones. By adopting a leadership model focused on service, personalization, and continuous feedback, these interactions can meaningfully enhance team dynamics and productivity. Embrace these principles to inspire, nurture, and lead your automotive teams into a future defined by progress and innovation. This strategic alignment between leadership vision and practical execution fosters an environment where continual improvement is not simply encouraged, but truly becomes second nature, paving the way for sustained success and satisfaction across the board.   Resources + Our Proud Sponsors: ➼ The Millionaire Car Salesman Facebook Group: Join the #1 Mastermind Group in the Automotive Industry with over 29,000 members worldwide.

Real strength isn't flashy. It's earned through quiet discipline over time. The same goes for B2B marketing: sustainable growth comes from strong foundations, not sporadic wins.That's the lesson of Dr. Peter Attia, the longevity expert who reshaped how millions think about health. In this episode, we explore his B2B marketing parallels with the help of our special guest Ashley Sturm, VP of Marketing at Opengear.Together, we uncover what B2B marketers can learn from building strong systems behind every campaign, committing to a long-term content strategy, and meeting audiences where they are with multichannel storytelling.About our guest, Ashley SturmAshley Sturm is VP of Marketing at Opengear. Ashley is a marketing and strategy leader with more than 15 years of experience developing strategic marketing initiatives to increase brand affinity, shape the customer experience, and grow market share. Before joining Opengear, she served as the Vice President of Marketing at Nautilus Data Technologies. Prior to that, she served as the Senior Director of Marketing Brand and Content for NTT Global Data Centers Americas, spearheading marketing efforts to open two out of six data center campuses.Ashley has led global marketing through the startup of Vertiv's Global Data Center Solutions business unit, where she developed the unit's foundational messaging and established global and regional marketing teams. Ashley's career experience includes extensive work with the US Navy through the Clearinghouse for Military Family Readiness as well as broadcast journalism. A graduate of the University of Missouri's School of Journalism, Ashley specializes in journalism and converged media.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Dr. Peter Attia:Focus on strength in the unseen work. Just like Dr. Attia emphasizes strength in the eccentric phase of movement (the part no one sees), Ashley connects that to B2B marketing fundamentals. Campaigns fail when the foundation is weak. As she puts it: “[It's] not just the big flashy campaigns or the launches, it's about the control, the discipline, and the structure behind them.” By investing in process, frameworks, and messaging systems, brands build resilience and long-term performance. The lesson: don't obsess over launch day, obsess over what holds it all together.Commit to the slow burn strategy. Dr. Attia didn't explode overnight. He showed up for years through podcasts, long-form content, and thought leadership before publishing his book, Outlive: The Science and Art of Longevity. Ashley calls out the power of consistency over time, saying: “He committed to the slow burn… we're in this for the long haul.” In B2B, that translates to sticking with a point of view, consistently educating your market, and building credibility brick by brick. Thought leadership is earned, not launched, and trust compounds for brands that stay the course.Meet people on their terms. Dr. Attia doesn't rely on one channel or format. He scales his ideas across podcasts, books, YouTube tutorials, social clips, and deep science blogs. Ashley ties that directly to B2B content strategy: “Where are they gonna be? How do they wanna consume it? Let's make sure we've morphed the content to fit that medium.” Your buyers consume differently at different moments. Repurpose one core message into channel-native formats to reach them everywhere they are, not where you wish they were.Quote“Strength is built in the parts we sometimes overlook — the details, the structure, the lowering motion — that's where you build resilience. Whether in health or in business.”Time Stamps[00:55] Meet Ashley Sturm, VP of Marketing at Opengear[01:12] Why Dr. Peter Attia?[04:02] Role of VP of Marketing at Opengear[05:03] Deep Dive into Dr. Peter Attia's Work[11:23] B2B Marketing Lessons from Dr. Peter Attia[39:48] Building Authentic Content Strategies[45:57] Advice for Marketing Leaders[48:35] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Ashley on LinkedInLearn more about OpengearAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

Show SummaryNatalie Elliott Handy, a caregiver for her husband and mother and co-host of the Confessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Podcast. During our conversation, we share the commitment that she and her sister have to highlighting and supporting military connected caregivers. Provide FeedbackAs a dedicated member of the audience, we would like to hear from you about the show. Please take a few minutes to share your thoughts about the show in this short feedback survey. By doing so, you will be entered to receive a signed copy of one of our host's three books on military and veteran mental health. About Today's GuestNatalie is someone who genuinely loves people. She has a natural passion for meeting new faces, staying closely connected with family, friends, and colleagues, and, most of all, helping others. Anyone who knows her will readily say, “Natalie doesn't know a stranger.” It's simply who she has always been.Raised in her family's hardware store, Natalie learned early how to engage customers — and how to count change — by talking to everyone who walked through the door. At church, she was the first to volunteer to sing, recite Bible verses in “big church,” and attend every youth activity, especially lock-ins. In school, her teachers often placed her in the front row to help minimize “distractions,” because she was, without a doubt, a social butterfly.Those gifts — her ability to connect, her quick wit, and her desire to support others — naturally led her into leadership roles throughout her career in the mental health field. She married young at 21 and, many years later, again at 39. She often describes her first marriage as a light-hearted “practice run” with someone kind, but not Jason, the partner she shares her life with today.From the outside, Natalie's life looked picture-perfect: a fulfilling job, a loving husband, a close-knit support system, and of course, her beloved dogs. But behind the scenes, she was burning the candle at both ends — working 12-hour days, six days a week, answering every request with, “No problem. Happy to help.”Everything shifted when Jason was diagnosed with cancer in March 2022. In the midst of that crisis, Natalie confronted the truth that she couldn't keep living at that pace. During those darkest moments, she reconnected with her faith and, through that, rediscovered her true self. She learned to acknowledge her imperfections and, more importantly, to love herself fully — flaws and all.Today, Natalie has reordered her life with clear priorities: God, herself, Jason, family and friends, and then work. She says “no” far more often, seeks silver linings in difficult moments, and is grateful for the journey that led her to live God's plan instead of her own. She embraces the mantra of being “perfectly imperfect.”Her mission is simple: to share stories and experiences that inspire, uplift, and — whenever possible — spark a little laughter. She strives to encourage others to be true to themselves while supporting the people they love. And along the way, she fully intends to keep making new friends.Links Mentioned During the EpisodeConfessions of a Reluctant Caregiver Website2024 Heroes Caring for Heroes series2023 Heroes Caring for Heroes seriesPsychArmor Resource of the WeekThis week's PsychArmor Resource of the Week is the PsychArmor course course Understanding the VA for Caregivers.

Send us a textWhat if the next breakthrough in healthcare simulation isn't a device, but the proof that changes patient outcomes? We sit down with  Matt Charnetski —paramedic turned technologist turned incoming president of the Society for Simulation in Healthcare—to chart a path from personal experience to system-level impact. Matt's journey starts in Antarctic search and rescue and lands in board leadership, stitching together IT chops, clinical practice, and a bias for service that opened doors and built programs others can use.Across this conversation, we get specific about what growth should mean for a global simulation community. Matt lays out a simple mandate: make pathways to serve obvious, invite more voices to the table, and treat partnerships with international organizations as two-way streets. As IMSH grows, he pushes for smarter matching between people and content, smaller communities inside big events, and technology that helps newcomers navigate without getting lost. It's scale with intimacy, and it turns attendance into collaboration.When we pivot to innovation, Matt targets the evidence gap. We already measure satisfaction and short-term learning; the leap is linking simulation to clinical outcomes, determining the right dose of practice, and funding the early work that proves it. That's where the Ascend mentorship program and early career research grants come in—structured guidance, two-mentor support, and resources that turn good ideas into publishable studies and effective curricula. The payoff is a field that can defend its value in outcomes, not just anecdotes.Matt's why is human. A family story about communication in hospitals became a lesson he carried into paramedicine and now into leadership: teamwork is treatment. That's why he invests in the people who teach, operate, and research simulation, because their impact cascades to learners and patients. If you care about inclusive leadership, meaningful mentorship, and research that moves the needle, this conversation will give you a clear map—and an invitation to join in.If this resonated, follow and share the show, leave a rating or review, and tell us: what proof would help you advance simulation where you work? Website URL:https://ems-works.com/ LinkedIn URL:  https://www.linkedin.com/company/630796/Innovative SimSolutions.Your turnkey solution provider for medical simulation programs, sim centers & faculty design.

In this episode of Technology Reseller News, Publisher Doug Green speaks with Jason Goecke, CTO and Robert Galop, CPO of Creo Solutions, about why vCons (virtual conversations) represent a “golden grail” revenue opportunity for service providers, MSPs, and telcos. Drawing on decades of telecom and CPaaS experience, the Creo team explains how their company was founded to help providers “2x their revenue” by layering practical AI, automation, and data intelligence on top of existing communications services. Their focus today: turning the billions of conversations crossing telecom networks into actionable business value. The discussion centers on vCons as a standard container for conversation data—not just recordings, but transcripts, metadata, compliance controls, and context. On their own, vCons “don't do anything,” as Galop notes, but once you analyze them at scale with AI, they reveal issues and opportunities that would otherwise stay invisible. In one deployment, a service provider believed they had excellent first-call resolution; Creo's analytics showed that agents were only truly resolving about 24% of calls, with 76% generating follow-ups and extra work. In another case, the very first processed call exposed a serious security gap: an agent forwarding a main number without validating the caller's identity. “Conversations have been dark data,” Goecke explains. “Now you can light up every conversation and drive value from it.” Creo's Pulse Conversation Intelligence platform (part of its broader Intelligence Cloud) is designed to make this revenue opportunity turnkey for providers. Rather than asking carriers or MSPs to build AI infrastructure, Creo takes in CDRs and call recordings (or vCons directly), handles speech-to-text, diarization, vCon creation, and then runs domain-specific analytics. Service providers can immediately offer offerings such as: 100% QA coverage for contact centers (versus the typical 2%), AI note-taking and action items for every voice call (not just Zoom/Teams meetings), and deep baseline insight into what's actually happening across sales, support, and operations. APIs and webhooks then allow these insights and summaries to flow into CRMs, bots, workflow engines, and custom applications, enabling personalized experiences and smarter automation without the customer needing to “speak AI.” A key message for MSPs and channel partners is that they don't need to be AI experts to sell and deploy this. Creo positions itself as a native AI company, using AI throughout its own development and delivery processes so that partners can simply deliver better outcomes: more meetings booked, better QA coverage, reduced manual note-taking, improved compliance, and richer customer journeys. “That really makes it easy for the service providers,” Goecke notes. “We're scratching a lot of very important itches—QA, notes, follow-up—and, oh by the way, it's all AI-forward.” For service providers looking to turn vCons from theory into concrete, recurring revenue in 2026, Creo Solutions invites listeners to learn more at https://www.creosolutions.tech/ and explore the Pulse platform at https://intelligence.cloud/.

An inspection by the Health Information and Quality Authority has revealed widespread failings in Tusla's Child Protection and Welfare service in Dublin's North City. For the latest on the report Social Affairs Correspondent Ailbhe Conneely.

In this episode of the Nonprofit Exchange, I had the pleasure of speaking with Dr. Keith Dorsey, a leading expert in board governance, leadership readiness, and organizational strategy. Dr. Dorsey shared invaluable insights on the concept that board service is a journey rather than a mere checklist, emphasizing the importance of understanding the roles of management, advisory, and oversight within nonprofit boards. We discussed common pitfalls that nonprofit leaders encounter when recruiting and onboarding board members, particularly the tendency to surround themselves with familiar faces rather than seeking individuals with the necessary skills and experience. Dr. Dorsey highlighted the need for leaders to ask the right questions and to be willing to make tough decisions about board composition to ensure strategic alignment. A significant part of our conversation revolved around Dr. Dorsey's five forms of capital: human, social, cultural, directoral, and commitment capital. He explained how these capitals can be leveraged to enhance board effectiveness and drive organizational success. We also explored the concept of optimal diversity, which combines observable diversity with intentional diversity of thought, fostering richer discussions and better decision-making within boards. Dr. Dorsey encouraged listeners to reflect on their personal "why" and to identify their unique strengths and values as they navigate their board journeys. He emphasized the importance of slowing down to think critically about board dynamics and strategic goals, rather than operating on autopilot. As we wrapped up, Dr. Dorsey shared details about his book, "The Boardroom Journey," and the resources available on his website, boardroomjourney.com. I invited him to return for a follow-up discussion, as there is so much more to explore in the realm of effective board governance. This episode is packed with practical advice and thought-provoking concepts that nonprofit leaders can apply immediately to strengthen their boards and enhance their organizations' impact.
