In this episode, I break down the core habits that set successful CEOs apart and how those habits directly influence organizational growth. We explore the risks of overcommitting and getting too deep into day-to-day operations, a common trap that can cloud strategic focus. I make the case for a more disciplined approach to choosing opportunities and explain why shifting from monthly to weekly performance metrics can dramatically improve agility. We also dive into the value of developing strong leaders at every level and the role of clear, consistent communication in preventing costly misunderstandings. Ultimately, this episode is designed to help leaders sharpen their habits, elevate their impact, and accelerate growth. Episode Highlights & Time Stamps 1:07 Good CEO Habits 2:56 Delegation and Ownership 5:17 The Power of Selectivity 7:27 Agility in Metrics 9:18 Building Leadership Depth 10:44 Communication Clarity 12:06 Reflecting on Improvement The Hidden Traps CEOs Fall Into: Good CEO Habits Start Here In this episode of Grow Think Tank, we're having an honest conversation about the everyday habits that can make or break a CEO's effectiveness. I'm Gene Hammett, and I'll walk you through some of the subtle traps leaders fall into, starting with the urge to say yes to everything. As CEOs, we're wired to see possibilities everywhere. I've been there myself, feeling like every new idea or opportunity could be "the one" that drives big growth. But a packed calendar isn't a sign of progress. In fact, it often pulls us away from the handful of initiatives that truly move the business forward. We also dig into one of the biggest bad habits: trying to stay involved in every operational detail. Research shows that CEOs spend an incredible amount of time in meetings, up to 72%, according to Harvard. That's a lot of hours that could be spent on creativity, strategy, and vision. I talk about how letting go, delegating more intentionally, and staying out of the weeds is actually one of the Good CEO Habits that fuels growth. Choosing the Right Opportunities: Not All "Yeses" Are Created Equal Next, we talk about the cultural pressure inside organizations to chase every possibility. Saying yes feels productive, but spreading yourself too thin rarely leads to meaningful impact. I share why developing a disciplined approach to opportunity selection is a hallmark of Good CEO Habits. Leaders who grow consistently don't chase more; they chase better. Warren Buffett said it best: the difference between successful people and really successful people is that the latter say no to almost everything. From there, we explore how shifting from monthly performance metrics to weekly check-ins can transform agility. Monthly metrics tell you what went wrong last month. Weekly metrics help you fix what's happening right now. That faster feedback loop helps teams stay aligned, spot issues early, and maintain momentum. Build Leaders, Build Clarity, Build Growth Finally, we look inward, specifically at how CEOs develop the strength of their team and the clarity of their communication. A powerful CEO doesn't try to be an expert in everything. Instead, they build depth in their leadership team, ensuring every department has someone capable, confident, and empowered. Closing those leadership gaps is essential for scaling it's another core Good CEO Habit that separates high-growth organizations from the rest. We also talk about communication, the kind of communication that goes beyond "good enough." Assumptions create confusion, rework, and frustration. Clear, intentional communication creates alignment and trust. I share how being explicit rather than vague can eliminate misunderstandings before they start. Throughout the episode, I encourage you to reflect on your own habits. Which ones are helping you grow, and which ones might be holding you back? When we ask better questions about how we lead, we uncover opportunities to evolve both as individuals and as organizations. That's what we aim for here on Grow Think Tank: helping leaders become more effective, more intentional, and more equipped to scale with confidence. Key Takeaways Fewer commitments lead to better focus. Saying yes to everything creates noise. The most effective CEOs choose opportunities selectively and focus on initiatives that truly drive growth. Staying out of the weeds is a leadership strength. CEOs who try to oversee every detail lose valuable time for strategy, creativity, and vision. Delegation is not just helpful it's essential. Weekly metrics create agility. Shifting from monthly to weekly performance reviews helps teams catch issues earlier, adapt faster, and maintain momentum. Depth in leadership beats well-roundedness. CEOs don't need to be experts in every area they need strong leaders around them. Building leadership capacity at every level accelerates scale. Clarity in communication prevents costly mistakes. "Good enough" communication isn't good enough. Explicit, intentional clarity avoids misunderstandings and keeps teams aligned. Good CEO Habits require intentional reflection. Sustainable growth comes from regularly reassessing your habits, asking better leadership questions, and making small adjustments with big impact. Ideal For: Founders, CEOs, executives, managers, and anyone committed to elevating their leadership capacity. Resources & Next Steps Ready to take your leadership energy to the next level?

In this week's episode, Vance Bedford and Sam Webb discussed Michigan's defensive performance in their 24-22 win over Northwestern, highlighting the team's resilience despite losing the turnover battle 5-0. Bedford praised Wink Martindale's defensive strategy, particularly the pressure applied, but also noted problems with 50/50 balls and RPOs. Shifting to the defensive line, Bedford criticized deficiencies in maintaining gap responsibility during stunts. He stressed the need for stronger execution in the secondary, especially in man-to-man coverage. Finally, Bedford emphasized that the team must first focus on Maryland before turning their attention to Ohio State.

Tune in here to this Wednesday's edition of the Brett Winterble Show! We're joined by Coach Matt Doherty from DohertyCoaching.com to talk about the tensions in Charlotte and the remarkable longevity of LeBron James. Coach Doherty reflects on the recent protests and unrest in Charlotte, noting that while the situation is disappointing, it’s not surprising for a major city dealing with complex political and legal issues. He emphasizes that the law is the law, and although many undocumented individuals contribute positively to the community, the city must still navigate safety concerns, economic impacts, and the real dangers connected to human trafficking. Shifting to basketball, Coach Doherty marvels at LeBron James beginning his record-setting 23rd NBA season. He compares LeBron’s durability and discipline to earlier eras, recalling stories from Michael Jordan’s early career when players traveled under far less glamorous conditions. Doherty applauds LeBron’s incredible work ethic, physical conditioning, and ability to compete at an elite level despite now sharing the court with teammates who weren’t even born when he entered the league.

New York City is expected to see expanded immigration enforcement soon. Border czar Tom Homan made the announcement on Tuesday, just one month after ICE agents conducted a sweep on street vendors in Manhattan that turned chaotic after officers were swarmed by protestors. Federal agents are also expected to go to Louisiana and Mississippi under Operation Swamp Sweep, which aims to arrest 5,000 people.The Trump administration is moving ahead with major structural changes to the Department of Education, and is preparing to shift several of its core programs to other federal agencies as part of efforts to dismantle the department. One change involves moving more than $30 billion in federal grants to the Department of Labor. Secretary of Education Linda McMahon says the restructuring is meant to break down bureaucracy and return control of education to states and local leaders.President Donald Trump hosted Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman at the White House on Tuesday. During their meeting, Trump announced that the United States would designate Saudi Arabia as a “major non-NATO ally.” This represents a substantial elevation of the country's diplomatic standing with America. The crown prince praised Trump's peace efforts and announced that he's boosting Saudi Arabia's U.S. investments to $1 trillion.
The narrow corridor of mixed rain and snow shifted east-southeast Tuesday night. Some areas cooled long enough for plain snow to fall and accumulate across portions of Pennsylvania. This mix will continue into early Wednesday in portions of Pennsylvania, northern New Jersey, southeastern New York and perhaps southwestern Connecticut before temperatures rise and precipitation moves offshore. AccuWeather meteorologists are warning that heavy rain spreading across parts of the central United States from today to Friday will create hazardous travel conditions, but it could also bring some benefits to areas experiencing drought. Severe thunderstorms are also expected in parts of the region. Shifting focus to the Middle East, Iranian authorities have begun cloud-seeding operations to induce rainfall and combat a severe water crisis. It has been the driest fall in half a century.

Venezuela Crisis: Potential Maduro Exit and Shifting Political Tides in Latin America Guests: Ernesto Araújo and Alejandro Peña Esclusa Alejandro Peña Esclusa and Ernesto Araújo discussed the crisis in Venezuela, noting a powerful US fleet gathered nearby, with Maduro fearing military intervention and reportedly wanting to discuss surrender conditions with President Trump, though his exit is complicated by his ally Diosdado Cabello, who heads operations for the Cartel of the Suns and has no path for redemption, while Maduro's potential fall would deliver a severe blow to the organized crime and drug trafficking networks that permeate South America's political structures, with the opposition, led by María Corina Machado, having transition plans, and Brazilian President Lula neutralized from strongly opposing US actions due to ongoing tariff negotiations with Trump, as the conversation highlighted a new conservative political wave in Latin America, with optimism reported in Argentina following elections that strengthened Javier Milei, and in Chile, where conservative José Antonio Kast is strongly positioned, representing a blend of economic freedom, anti-organized crime platforms, and conservative values. 1950

Sharing stories of God’s goodness isn’t bragging—it’s obedience. Psalm 9:1 calls us to give thanks with our whole hearts and boldly speak about the wonderful things God has done. In a world filled with criticism, division, and constant noise, our testimonies become powerful reminders that God is still active, still providing, and still working in the lives of His people. Gratitude grows when we speak it out loud, and joy follows when we point everything back to Him. Highlights Testimonies strengthen faith—ours and the faith of those who hear them (Psalm 9:1). Sharing God’s goodness publicly isn’t boasting when the glory goes to Him. Gratitude helps guard our hearts against negativity, comparison, and discouragement. A thankful posture begins with honest self-reflection and, when needed, confession. Blessings—big or small—become fuel for worship when we acknowledge God as their source. Speaking about God’s deeds invites both believers and non-believers to notice His presence. Shifting our mindset from complaint to praise reshapes our spiritual outlook and our witness.

Full Transcript Below: Tell of God’s Wonderful DeedsBy: Michelle Lazurek Bible Reading:“I will give thanks to you, Lord, with all my heart; I will tell of all your wonderful deeds.” — Psalm 9:1 A few months ago, I arranged a meeting with a publisher for two of my clients. Within an hour, we secured two book contracts for them. We were thrilled! Before the publisher ended the call, I asked if she could stay on for a few more minutes. I also had a book I wanted to pitch to them, and by God's grace, I had secured a contract for myself! I wanted to share God’s goodness, so I posted on social media. I couldn’t wait to share about his goodness at that moment. I aimed for it to be a testimony to others struggling to get a contract, letting them know that even though this book had been sitting on my laptop for years, God had finally found a place for it. Although some people later told me that I was bragging about my accomplishments, I truly took it as an opportunity to acknowledge God's goodness. We are called to share what God has done in our lives. In this chaotic world we live in, it's easy to hear criticism on social media and in various parts of our lives. What we need more of are testimonies of how God is moving in and through us. The above verse reminds us that we are to tell of God's wondrous deeds. This is an excellent way for us to keep an attitude of gratitude, especially as we approach the holidays. With all the political posts and division plaguing our country, we need to be people who tell of God's good deeds, not the horrible things we wish we could fix. Take a moment and analyze your life. Are you someone who often tells of God's wondrous deeds? Does this help you keep an attitude of gratitude? Do you find yourself complaining more than rejoicing? Although keeping a thankful attitude can be difficult, it is important to maintain it each day. It may be as simple as counting your blessings, even the ones you take for granted. Other times, it might involve making a grand gesture for someone as an act of kindness to show them Christ’s love in tangible ways. Regardless of the way you choose, tell of God's wondrous deeds. Brag on the Lord. Give him credit for everything in your life. Don't let anything get in the way of you celebrating all that God has done. Have you found that difficult? Analyze your heart. Do you have unconfessed sin or another area of your life that might be hindering you from truly rejoicing in the Lord? Go to Him and confess your sin. Afterwards, take a few moments to get out a blank journal and start writing down your blessings. This will transform your attitude as quickly as possible. Additionally, if you find yourself taking credit for things happening in your life instead of giving credit to God, it's likely your attitude is wrong. Repent of this behavior. Know that God is in control of all things in your life. Everything good you have in your life comes from him. The quicker you can adopt this perspective, the quicker you can change your attitude and pivot it to giving God all the glory he deserves. Vow to tell people of all the wondrous deeds he has done. Take a week and post on social media the great things God has done. Be in tune with the spirit and be on the lookout for all the ways God is working in your life. Be sure to tell others, both through social media and in person, all the things God has done. Do this with believers and non-believers, and you may find that non-believers are attracted to your example. As Christians, we are known more for what we are against rather than what we are for. Let us change our perspective so that people forget about us and always remember the Lord. Father, let us be people who tell of your wondrous deeds. Let us find various ways to celebrate all the things that you are doing. Let us give you all the praise and glory you deserve in multiple ways every day. Amen. Intersecting Faith & Life: Do you find yourself rejoicing or complaining about your life? In what ways can you change your attitude today?

"It's the bookkeeper who has to sell his or her own services, and so they're not a professional salesperson. So a lot of times there's a lot of fear and we get in our heads, we get in our gut, we feel pushy, we feel salesy, we feel weird and we discount. And so to me, it's about arming the person whose job it is to sell this value with the skills and tools to do it." -Casey Brown In part one of this two-part conversation, pricing expert and resident of Boost Pricing, Casey Brown, joins the podcast to help bookkeepers overcome fear, self-doubt, and hesitation around pricing their services.

If you've ever felt like you're doing all the right things—mindset work, journaling, tapping, meditating, planning—but something still feels off, this episode explains why. It's not because you're stuck. It's because your subconscious doesn't yet recognize the version of you you're stepping into. Until you shift your identity, the nervous system won't fully allow lasting change. In this episode, Penny reveals what is happening underneath the surface of stalled progress and the deeper pattern that keeps you circling the same outcomes. You'll learn why you feel internal resistance, why your efforts feel mismatched with your results, and how to shift your identity so change becomes natural instead of forced. What You'll Learn About Shifting Your Identity 1. Why change triggers subconscious resistance Your nervous system prioritizes familiarity over goals. This explains why momentum collapses even when you know what you want. 2. Why mindset work eventually plateaus Mindset tools can help, but they can only layer new thoughts on top of old identity-level programming. 3. What your "identity blueprint" is and how it forms Penny explains how your subconscious stores identity, how it shapes perception, and why behavior can't override it. 4. How the Identity Matrix method shifts your identity One recalibration can change the way you think, feel, respond, and make decisions. 5. Why techniques, scripts, and strategies don't create transformation Most hypnosis and coaching programs focus on tools rather than the internal structure that actually creates change. 6. How identity creates quantum leaps Big breakthroughs happen when your subconscious finally agrees with the identity you're stepping into. 7. Client examples of identity-level shifts Hear how a client tripled her revenue, dissolved imposter syndrome, and expanded her leadership capacity after shifting identity. Why Shifting Your Identity Matters When you shift your identity, you change: - How you interpret stress - How your nervous system responds - What your brain filters in and out - The opportunities you notice - The boundaries you hold - The habits you naturally embody - The level of ease you experience Transformation becomes a process of alignment rather than effort. You stop forcing outcomes and start becoming the person who naturally creates them. Shifting your identity isn't about becoming someone else. It's about becoming congruent with who you already are underneath old conditioning. Episode Highlights - How the reticular activating system actually works - Why identity shifts make habits and follow-through feel natural - What subconscious safety has to do with goal achievement - Why emotional patterns repeat - Why willpower cannot create a new life - How identity-level shifts create long-term results - Why techniques never outperform identity work If You Want to Shift Your Identity Catalyst Recalibrated begins December 1st. This identity-centered experience focuses on the 20 percent that drives 80 percent of transformation.

Where are your thoughts leading you? If you've ever caught yourself spiraling into self-doubt, overthinking, or feeling "stuck," this episode will remind you just how powerful your mind truly is. I'm unpacking the Universal Law of Thinking, the principle that says whatever we consistently think about, with emotion and belief, expands into reality. In this conversation, I share how clarity and self-trust work together to turn invisible ideas into tangible results, both in life and business. You'll learn how to recognize when your thoughts are working for you or against you, and how to realign them so energy flows where it can actually serve you. ☑️ Discover why clarity is the accelerator of creation, not overplanning. ☑️ Learn how self-trust organizes your thinking and amplifies aligned action. ☑️ Explore how to shift from reactive to responsible thinking so your results match your vision. Your thoughts are creative energy. When you combine clarity, trust, and aligned action, you stop spinning and start expanding. If this episode resonates, and you're ready to align your thinking with your next level of business growth, grab one of my limited Next-Level Strategy Sessions open this month. Let's rewire your thinking patterns, activate your vision for 2026, and create clear, aligned strategies to make it real.

This episode, the 304th of Absolute AppSec, features hosts Ken Johnson (@cktricky) and Seth Law (@sethlaw) discussing the crush of Q4 expectations, upcoming training opportunities, the recent updates to the OWASP Top Ten, and the impact of AI tools like XBow on application security (AppSec) consulting. The hosts discuss the shift in the OWASP Top Ten from focusing on vulnerabilities to focusing on risks, and the dual role the list now plays for both awareness/training and compliance. Shifting to recent funding of XBow, the overall consensus is that while AI tools dramatically improve process flow, scoping, and the speed of vulnerability identification for consultants, they won't replace the need for human experts for complex, bespoke systems, business logic flaws, or authorization issues. AI is commoditizing lower-level AppSec work.

In this episode, Dr. Stuart Slavin speaks with Dr. Elliott Higgins, director of Health and Well-Being for UCLA's Department of Anesthesiology and Perioperative Medicine. Together they explore the development of the Well-Being Influencers Survey for Health Care (WISH)—a validated, non-proprietary tool that measures the organizational conditions shaping clinician well-being. Dr. Higgins discusses how WISH shifts the focus from individual burnout to systemic factors such as transparency, fairness, and psychological safety, offering leaders actionable insights to drive meaningful change. The conversation highlights how data-driven, collaborative research can reframe accountability, empower departments to tailor interventions, and move the national dialogue from burnout awareness toward system-level solutions that enhance both workforce and patient care.

The Dad Edge Podcast (formerly The Good Dad Project Podcast)
In this episode of the Dad Edge Podcast, I sit down with Candice Horbacz, a former adult film star turned mindfulness advocate, podcaster, and homeschooling mother. Candice brings a rare blend of candor, introspection, and wisdom to this deeply personal conversation. We explore how she navigated radical life transitions, healed from childhood trauma, and created a home rooted in authenticity, curiosity, and emotional safety. Candice opens up about her own upbringing, the dysfunction that shaped her early worldview, and how she found her way to a new version of identity after walking away from the adult industry. This episode is about reclaiming power—through parenting, partnership, and personal evolution. EPISODE HIGHLIGHTS [0:00] – Introduction [1:36] – How Candice's childhood shaped her early sense of self [4:18] – Growing up in a home where emotions weren't safe [7:03] – Her path into the adult film industry and what it masked [9:55] – Why the lack of secure relationships drew her toward unhealthy dynamics [12:30] – How she began to explore healing, trauma work, and self-awareness [14:49] – The role of her partner in helping her see her worth [17:01] – What led her to leave the adult industry behind [18:57] – Shifting identity and rebuilding trust within herself [21:04] – Navigating marriage with vulnerability and truth [23:15] – Creating emotional safety for her son as a homeschooling mom [26:40] – Why curiosity is her #1 parenting tool [29:21] – Helping kids navigate their own triggers without shame [32:09] – Final reflections on how to lead with authenticity at home 5 KEY TAKEAWAYS Early Dysfunction Often Masks Itself in Achievement or Escape: Candice shares how a childhood without emotional safety pushed her to find validation in unhealthy spaces, including adult entertainment. Self-Awareness Begins with Naming the Pain: Her healing journey started by recognizing how trauma shaped her reactions, her self-worth, and her definition of love. You Can Reinvent Your Identity Without Shame: Leaving the adult film industry was a reclamation of agency, and her story proves it's never too late to rewrite your narrative. Parenting with Curiosity Builds Emotional Safety: Rather than reacting with control, Candice leans into curiosity when her son struggles—inviting connection instead of conflict. Partnerships Flourish in Vulnerability, Not Performance: With her husband, Candice found safety to explore who she truly was—laying the foundation for a conscious, present, and authentic marriage.

The current intersection of federal regulation and enforcement is creating significant market risk, forcing carriers to exit and fundamentally tightening liability for both carriers and the shippers who hire them. The immediate shockwave comes from California, where the cancellation of 17,000 non-domiciled CDLs—over 9% of the state's for-hire carrier base—is expected to cause substantial capacity constraints and firm up outbound freight rates, signaling national enforcement scrutiny. This episode unpacks the crucial precedent set by California's AB5 enforcement action, which resulted in an $868,000 penalty against three companies, including shipper Costco and 3PL Ryder Last Mile. Ryder and Costco were found jointly liable with the carrier for exercising "direct or indirect control" over drivers, demonstrating that managing drivers like employees results in liability like an employer. We debate whether the current market slump is purely demand-driven or if regulatory fear is driving non-compliant carriers out, causing spot rates to slowly "melt up" despite weak volumes. Further regulatory focus is evident as the FMCSA launches a major study with 60 carriers to analyze the link between driver work schedules, hours-of-service, and crash risk, aiming to inform future HOS restrictions. Shifting focus to logistics investment, the USPS reported a massive $9 billion loss but is executing an urgent, long-term modernization push, including investing nearly $20 billion in automated sorters and new vehicles to attract parcel volume. Finally, we examine the unanimous industry consensus that autonomous trucking is inevitable, with the rapid "J-curve of adoption" expected to hit between 2035 and 2040 as labor and regulatory risks accelerate investment in driverless technology.

In this episode of Run the Numbers, CJ Gustafson sits down with Vanna Krantz, former CFO of Disney+ and Grindr, to explore what it takes to lead finance through massive inflection points. Vanna reflects on building Disney+'s subscription model from scratch under Bob Iger's leadership and the pressure of launching a global product with no precedent. She discusses forecasting as both science and art, and the importance of appreciating high-stakes moments amid chaos. Shifting to Grindr, Vanna breaks down how the company went public with remarkable efficiency—boasting 40% EBITDA margins and under 200 employees—and how she modeled for a user base that consistently churns and returns. She also opens up about career longevity, work-life balance, and helping women find sustainability and acceleration in leadership.—LINKS:Vanna on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/vannakrantz/CJ on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/cj-gustafson-13140948/Mostly metrics: https://www.mostlymetrics.com—RELATED EPISODES:Monetizing Community Engagement: The Business of Fitness with Strava CFO Lily Yanghttps://youtu.be/zlLb5yZDKQE“Let's Just See What Breaks” — Intuit's CFO on Being a Disruptor When You're Already the Incumbenthttps://youtu.be/Le1D9HXHvGI—TIMESTAMPS:00:00:00 Preview and Intro00:03:02 Sponsors – Aleph, Fidelity Private Shares, and Metronome00:06:09 Meeting at A16z and Disney Plus Discussion00:07:13 Interviewing with Bob Iger and Joining Bamtech Media00:10:43 Forecasting the Unknown at Disney Plus00:13:01 Launch Strategy – Mandalorian and Retention00:15:15 Sponsors – Mercury, RightRev, and Tipalti00:19:23 Forecasting, Retention Curves, and the Art vs. Science Balance00:22:20 Lessons in Art and Science of Finance at Disney00:25:08 Launch Day Chaos and the Disney Plus CDN Outage00:26:24 Celebrating the 10 Million Subscriber Milestone00:27:21 Grindr IPO and Financial Discovery00:32:42 Active User Metrics and Reactivation Trends00:34:29 Seasonality and Human Behavior in App Usage00:36:02 Free vs. Paid Users and Revenue Optimization00:38:21 Pricing Strategy and Global Monetization00:40:23 Women in Leadership and Staying in the Game00:43:30 Work–Life Balance and Career Seasons00:46:12 Wisdom, Experience, and Staying in the Game00:50:08 Finance Stack, Craziest Expense, and Closing Remarks—SPONSORS:Aleph automates 90% of manual, error-prone busywork, so you can focus on the strategic work you were hired to do.
