Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt wrestles with a lifelong pattern of shame, defensiveness, and downplaying wins—and how naming it (out loud) is helping him show up better at work and at home. This one's part confessional, part field guide: practical, unglamorous steps for accepting compliments, advocating for your value, and being safer to confront in relationships.Content note: brief, heartfelt discussion of infant loss (the story of Matt's son, Benjamin).Why listenIf you instinctively swat away compliments or feel “pride” is off-limits, this gives language—and a few reps—to shift that.Shops, teams, and families run better when we replace shame/stonewalling with honesty and curiosity.HighlightsThe “shame tank”: how early patterns trained Matt to equate mistakes with identity (“I did something dumb” → “I am dumb”) and how that fueled resentment cycles with employers and loved ones.Stonewall → spill → reset → repeat: the loop that forms when you won't self-advocate until pressure boils over.Compliment deflection ≠ humility: jokes like “you need to get out more” felt safe, but quietly devalued real wins.Owning value without arrogance: learning to state what you bring to the table without feeling like your mouth is on fire.Two proud moments (finally named):Benjamin's birth: staying present, stopping futile interventions, and making sure mom and family had time with him. https://mattfanslow.captivate.fm/episode/overcoming-the-loss-of-a-child-finding-a-silver-lining-e035Post-divorce boundaries: noticing red flags early and exiting a relationship kindly (growth in real life, not theory).Professional growth he'll actually own: the podcast, teaching, equipment dev/beta, EEPROM/board-level work, and expanding beyond “just drivability.”Result of doing the work: markedly better conversations with his boss; marriage moving from “fine” to genuinely “great.”Practical takeawaysLanguage swap: “I did something dumb” ≠ “I am dumb.” Keep identity out of error statements.Three-beat compliment drill: Hear it → pause → say “thank you” → full stop. (Joke later if you must.)Mini inventory: keep a running note of 3 specific things you did well this week; read it before hard conversations.Advocacy prep: write a one-page “value brief” before comp talks: outcomes, examples, and how they helped the shop/client.Repair the feedback channel: agree with your partner/teammate on a critique ritual (time, signal word, and goal).Get a spotter: a counselor/therapist helps reveal blind spots faster than white-knuckling it alone.People & mentionsBob (AAPEX episode—“shame tank” origin point in prior convo) https://mattfanslow.captivate.fm/episode/exploring-relationships-health-and-personal-growth-with-bob-heipp-e109Equilibrium Therapy Services — Margaret Light (Minnesota)

Warum wird über den wichtigsten SEO-Hebel so wenig geredet? Als Volltextsuchmaschine benötigt Google Inhalte, um deine Seiten richtig zuordnen zu können. Ohne die stetige Optimierung deiner Landingpages wird es verdammt schwer, gute Rankings zu erzielen. In dieser Folge zeigen wir dir die „großen” Geheimnisse einer erfolgreichen und kontinuierlichen Optimierung von Landing Pages für Top-Rankings bei Google & Co. ;-) Der Obergedanke: Wir müssen Google, KI-Suchmaschinen und Nutzer glücklich machen. Wenn die Nutzer glücklich sind, sind es auch automatisch Google & Co.? Ein klares „Jein”. Wir müssen auch Optimierungen vornehmen, die der Nutzer nicht wahrnimmt, die aber von den Crawlern erfasst werden. Alle Maßnahmen zusammengefasst: Den Nutzer abholen: Was möchtest du mit deiner Landingpage erreichen? Was ist deine Botschaft und was ist der Nutzen? Innerhalb von Sekunden muss er das checken können, sonst war es das … - Search Intent immer treffen (die TOP 10 checken) - Daher klare H1 + CTA + What's in for me in wenigen Wörtern (Go.Student als Beispiel?) - Wichtig für SEO: Ein Mainkeyword + ggf. Nebenkeywords direkt mitabdecken - Wenn es passt, der klassische Heroshot - Starke Botschaften und wichtige Informationen (Hooks) möglichst weit oben platzieren! - Die URL-Struktur muss klar sein. - Meta-Tags: Keyword an den Anfang, USPs, die keiner hat, nennen, ggf. Sonderzeichen verwenden. Inspiration holen aus den Ads oben (deren Meta-Tags sind meist besser durch Testings optimiert). - Klare H-Strukturen, die separat betrachtet wie ein roter Faden durch die Seite führen. Nicht zu abstrakt formulieren, nicht zu viele oder zu wenige H-Tags. - Content, Content, Content: Mehrwert, Prozesse erklären, Produkte zeigen und Hilfe leisten. Den Nutzer abholen. - SurferSEO kann helfen. Vorsicht bei Shops, da werden die Werte oft sehr ungenau durch zu viele Produkte mit Eigennamen! - Design ist wichtig! Bilder, Videos, Animationen: Das Auge liest mit – gute Nutzersignale bereits durch gutes Design. Beispiele: - https://www.gostudent.org/ - https://www.plantsome.de/products/coffea-arabica Nur einmal optimieren und dann fertig? FALSCH – immer weiter optimieren! - Ändere Zwischenüberschriften, messe Nutzersignale, messe Meta-Tags, nutze GA4 und Hotjar, beobachte die Konkurrenz – was lässt Google nach vorne? - Ist der Artikel noch up to date? - Ggf. A/B-Testings (allerdings nicht so einfach, LP muss mind. 1.000 Besucher pro Tag aufweisen). - Backlinks sind super wichtig! Wie verändert sich mein Linkprofil? Versuche ich, es aktiv aufzubauen, oder nicht? - Konkurrenz beobachten: Was machen die? Wie verändern sie ihren Content? Wie bauen sie Backlinks auf? #

Two of the more common questions, especially from stores that are new to the Workstand platform, are ‘what are the keys to selling more?' and ‘what are the really successful stores doing to grow?'. Generally speaking, a shop needs to have four elements to generate revenue.  These four elements work together, and missing just one can kill growth.Products that are in demand - Shops need to have products that customers are searching for.  That can be 'the next cool gadget', the hot color way of a bike or helmet, or simply the right size.  Supplier Sync items are great, but having products in stock will lead to more sales. I would encourage stores to have a strong representation of a brand instead of 4 headlights from 4 different brands. Watch our recent inventory tips episode for more details on stocking and merchandising strategies and tacticsCompetitive pricing -  To have competitive pricing doesn't necessarily mean to have to beat the lowest price on the market, but at least match the lowest price.  Online shoppers are inherently looking for deals, so by not being competitive, you are removing your shop from a sales opportunity. Understand when/where you have pricing power and when you don't Competitive shipping - Nobody wants to pay for shipping.  If your shipping rates are not competitive, especially for an item that can be generally purchased from 20 other shops, then you will most likely lose that opportunity. Shipping rates and rules can easily be changed, so take some risk and get a good feel of what works.Leverage Supplier FulfillmentListen to the recent episode where we discuss shipping as a marketing toolGoogle Ads - You can have the above 3 elements covered, but without ads, your products are less likely to be seen.  However, without all 3 elements mentioned above, your ads can be ineffective.  Bonus - have all of the payment options for customers, Stripe/CCs, PayPal, FinancingFinally, don't forget the basics. Merchandising matters in the store and on the website. Keep it updated, keep it fresh, keep it seasonally relevant. Most of all, keep it accurate. Provide clear calls to action, focus on providing value and actionable information to your customers/the customers you want.Be sure to email your questions to podcast@workstand.com.

Her new boutique has quickly become a local favorite for stylish women over 50, offering timeless pieces and specializing in mother-of-the-bride dresses. Nida teamed up with Miguel Romero from Taqueria Los Hermanos, who was already turning the Shops of Dunwoody into a live music spot.

This episode was recorded at Lake Austin Spa Resort with a live audience for their "Wise Women" Month.Grace Young is a three-time James Beard Award–winning cookbook author, culinary historian, and community advocate with numerous accolades and awards. Known for her cookbooks Wisdom of the Chinese Kitchen and Stir-Frying to the Sky's Edge, Grace spent decades preserving Chinese culinary traditions. But in 2020, everything changed.When the pandemic hit, Grace walked through Manhattan's Chinatown and found a community in crisis. Shops were empty, restaurants were closing, and lives were being upended by fear and misinformation. Without any activist background, Grace stepped forward—using her voice and storytelling skills to raise awareness and rally support. That spontaneous act of courage evolved into a nationwide movement to save America's Chinatowns, earning her the Julia Child Award, the James Beard Foundation's Humanitarian of the Year Award, and recognition as one of Forbes 50 Over 50.In this conversation, recorded live at Lake Austin Spa Resort for Wise Women Month, Grace shares the profound lessons she's learned about wisdom, community, and rediscovering purpose later in life. We talk about her activism journey, how she redefined her calling in her 60s, and why connection—and showing up for one another—is the truest form of wisdom. In This EpisodeThe moment Grace realized she had to speak up for ChinatownHow preservation became her life's mission—from recipes to communityWhat her parents' traditions taught her about longevity and healthThe connection between wisdom, food, and sustainabilityWhy mom-and-pop shops are the soul of AmericaHow she overcame fear, found purpose, and redefined strengthPractical wisdom for finding purpose at any ageLearn more:graceyoung.comhttps://linktr.ee/stirfryguruhttps://www.instagram.com/stirfryguru/______Please remember to rate, review, and follow the show – and share with a friend!Find Amy's affiliates and discount codes: https://amyedwards.info/affiliatepageSky Rock Sedona: https://www.skyrocksedona.com/20% Discount Link:https://www.marriott.com/event-reservations/reservation-link.mi?id=1759866624184&key=CORP&app=resvlinkAll links: ⁠⁠⁠amyedwards.info⁠⁠⁠Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠@realamyedwards⁠⁠⁠Fight For Her: ⁠⁠⁠fightforher.net⁠⁠⁠TikTok:⁠⁠⁠ @themagicbabe⁠⁠⁠YouTube: ⁠⁠⁠YouTube Channel⁠⁠⁠Podcast: ⁠⁠⁠The Amy Edwards Show Podcast⁠⁠⁠Free Course:⁠⁠⁠ The Ageless Mindset⁠⁠⁠Full Course: ⁠⁠⁠The Youthfulness Hack⁠⁠⁠Work with Amy:⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Book a Call⁠⁠⁠ Let's get you to your HAPPIEST and most RADIANT!

In this powerful episode we sit down with Timmie Kumar, Managing Trustee of Help in Suffering and a pioneer in India's animal welfare movement.Why This Episode Matters:Animal welfare in India is often overshadowed by human struggles, but compassion is not a zero-sum game. Timmie Kumar reveals how Jaipur became a model for humane street dog management while challenging animal cruelty in festivals, weddings, and traditions. She also stresses the need to regulate pet ownership, end animal testing, and build empathy through education so kindness becomes a way of life.Lessons in Compassion & Change:Jaipur's rabies-free success shows that large-scale humane interventions can save lives.Abandonment and overbreeding must end.Sensitization of police/authorities can transform society.From animal testing to zoos and sacrificial rituals, cruelty must never be justified as entertainment or tradition.Connect with UsMohua Chinappa: https://www.linkedin.com/in/mohua-chinappa/The Mohua Show: https://www.themohuashow.com/Connect with the Guest:Timmie Kumar: https://www.instagram.com/timmie.kumar/ Help in Suffering: https://www.instagram.com/helpinsuffering/ References:Help in Suffering, PETA India on Zoos & Elephants, General Animal Welfare Legislation in IndiaFollow UsYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@TheMohuaShowLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/themohuashow/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/themohuashowInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/themohuashow/More Episodes Like This:Gargi Rawat: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vc3xZ8wf5do For any other queries EMAILhello@themohuashow.comDisclaimerThe views expressed by our guests are their own.

Chris Cloutier is the owner of Golden Rule Auto Care in Dallas, Texas, and the founder of AutoFlow, a software solution built to improve auto repair customer communication. With a background in software engineering and firsthand experience as a shop owner, Chris recognized the communication gaps that left customers frustrated and shop teams overwhelmed. By combining his technical expertise with real-world shop operations, he developed AutoFlow to provide real-time text updates, digital inspections, and workflow tools that bring transparency and trust back to the repair process. Today, Chris helps shops across the country elevate their customer experience and efficiency by making communication as seamless as the Amazon experience.In this episode…Three out of four people say they've had a bad experience with an auto repair shop. Long waits, poor updates, and the feeling of being left in the dark have made auto repair customer communication one of the industry's biggest frustrations. But what if repair shops could deliver updates and transparency the same way Amazon keeps customers informed about their orders?That's exactly the vision Chris Cloutier had when he built AutoFlow. After running his own shops, Chris knew that poor communication wasn't about not caring, it was about being overwhelmed with tasks. Service advisors juggle scheduling, billing, and parts ordering, and communication often slips through the cracks. AutoFlow was designed to solve that by creating automated touchpoints that keep customers in the loop without adding more burden to the team.In this episode, Chris explains how AutoFlow bridges the gap between anxious customers and busy shop teams. From digital inspections to instant text updates, he shows how technology can provide reassurance, reduce unnecessary phone calls, and ultimately build trust. Improving auto repair customer communication isn't just about keeping customers happy, it's also about improving workflow efficiency, reducing stress on employees, and creating long-term loyalty.Whether you manage a single shop or a multi-location operation, this conversation will inspire you to rethink how you connect with your customers. By focusing on clarity, transparency, and consistency, Chris shows how better auto repair customer communication can transform the customer experience into something people now compare to the Amazon standard.Here's a glimpse of what you'll learn: [00:58] Chris Cloutier's background and introduction to the auto repair industry[02:33] The mantra behind Golden Rule Auto Care and why affirmations matter[06:14] From software engineer to shop owner: how the first repair shop started[08:31] The communication struggles that led to creating AutoFlow[10:27] Why touchpoints and customer emotions matter in repair shop communication[13:04] What poor communication costs and why customers compare shops to Domino's[15:36] The story behind AutoTextMe and why it became AutoFlow[18:20] How customers responded to AutoFlow's transparency and updates[22:25] Life outside the shop: family, soccer, and karaoke nights[25:24] Unique hiring stories and unexpected employee encounters[29:35] How key team members like Craig joined AutoFlow[31:11] Trusting your gut and final reflections on entrepreneurshipResources mentioned in this episode:Chris Cloutier on LinkedIn Autoflow WebsiteGolden Rule Auto Care WebsiteTread PartnersGain Traction Podcast on YouTubeGain Traction Podcast WebsiteMike Edge on LinkedInQuotable Moments:“Three out of four people have had a bad experience with an auto repair shop, the statistics are stacked against us.”“No employee wakes up in the morning saying, ‘I'm going to suck today.' Communication is the missing piece.”“AutoFlow was built because I lived the pain firsthand as a shop owner, I understood the problem I was solving.”“Transparency alone takes a huge burden off customers when they're stressing over their car.”“Anything online today competes against Amazon. Shops have to measure up to that standard of communication.”Action Steps:Audit your shop's communication touchpoints: Identify where customers may be left in the dark.Implement consistent updates: Even short texts like “We're working on your car” can relieve stress.Leverage digital inspections: Build transparency with photos and reports customers can see.Train staff on emotional communication: Teach advisors how to manage customer expectations proactively.Explore workflow automation tools like AutoFlow to free up staff time while keeping customers informed.

In this episode of Grow a Small Business, host Troy Trewin interviews Jay Sapovits, founder of Ink Stores, who shares how he transformed his business from a retail storefront into a thriving on-demand swag company during COVID. Starting with $300K in the first year and growing to mid-seven figures, Jay reveals the pivotal mindset shifts, the importance of resilience, and how consistency fueled growth. He also discusses scaling a team of nearly 30, building a strong culture, and why creativity and adaptability remain essential in the $27B U.S. merchandise industry. Why would you wait any longer to start living the lifestyle you signed up for? Balance your health, wealth, relationships and business growth. And focus your time and energy and make the most of this year. Let's get into it by clicking here. Troy delves into our guest's startup journey, their perception of success, industry reconsideration, and the pivotal stress point during business expansion. They discuss the joys of small business growth, vital entrepreneurial habits, and strategies for team building, encompassing wins, blunders, and invaluable advice. And a snapshot of the final five Grow A Small Business Questions: What do you think is the hardest thing in growing a small business? According to Jay Sapovits, the hardest thing in growing a small business is consistency. He explained that no matter how tough things get—whether you're “kicked in the teeth on Tuesday”—you have to show up again on Wednesday and keep going. Consistency, even through setbacks, is what makes growth possible. What's your favorite business book that has helped you the most? Jay Sapovits said his favorite business book is “How to Become a Rainmaker” by Jeffrey Fox. He called it “unequivocally, the best business book ever written” because it breaks down sales into simple, powerful concepts in short, easy-to-digest chapters that serve as a lifelong reference. Are there any great podcasts or online learning resources you'd recommend to help grow a small business? While Jay Sapovits didn't name specific favorites, several great resources align with his focus on resilience, consistency, and growth. Podcasts like The How of Business, Masters of Scale, The $100 MBA Show, and The Disruptive Entrepreneur offer practical strategies and inspiring stories from entrepreneurs. Online learning platforms such as Coursera, Udemy, and LinkedIn Learning provide valuable training in sales, leadership, and team building—skills Jay emphasizes as essential. He also highlights the importance of community, so joining mastermind groups or business forums can help small business owners share challenges, learn from peers, and stay consistent in their growth journey. What tool or resource would you recommend to grow a small business? One tool Jay Sapovits says he “can't live without” is simple: email. Being super responsive, replying fast, keeping communication tight — that core tool / habit has been critical in how he grows trust, closes sales, and stays connected with clients. What advice would you give yourself on day one of starting out in business? If Jay Sapovits could give himself advice on day one of starting his business, he would say: “Take it easy on yourself.” He explained that his high expectations often created unnecessary stress, and he later learned to manage them better. He also emphasized that “comparison is the thief of joy,” urging entrepreneurs to stay focused on their own journey, support their peers, and not get distracted by competitors or external factors they can't control.

How federal IT shops are continuing work during the shutdown

It's day two of the federal shutdown, and with the Senate on leave, there won't be any sort of appropriations deal until Friday at the earliest — though many have doubts about that possibility. As federal agencies adjust to the new normal with hundreds of thousands of federal employees furloughed and the White House threatening more layoffs targeting those who've been sent home, FedScoop took the time to compile a near-complete look at how agency IT organizations are affected. An analysis of the nearly two dozen civilian Chief Financial Officer Act agencies found that some agencies explicitly outlined plans to scale back IT operations amid the shutdown, while others deemed several IT staff members essential for managing technology and cybersecurity infrastructure. For instance, at the Department of Commerce's Office of the CIO, just one individual is tasked with taking responsibility for shutdown tasks and assurance that the office will continue to work on critical IT functions. If the lapse in funding continues for an extended period, there is also the potential for staff to be recalled on an intermittent or full-time basis for cybersecurity and maintenance work, and limited staff may be called for administrative functions. While at the Labor Department, the Office of the Assistant Secretary for Administration and Management has selected “a minimal IT staff” within the OCIO to oversee tech operations. Those employees are now tasked with managing Labor's technology services, applications and website, in addition to having other IT security responsibilities that support the agency's excepted and exempt staff. A nonprofit legal group is suing a handful of federal agencies, calling on the federal bodies to release documents related to the use of artificial intelligence to carry out the Trump administration's “deregulation agenda.” The lawsuit, filed by Democracy Forward on Wednesday, asks a court to require the General Services Administration, Office of Personnel Management, Office of Management and Budget and the Department of Housing and Urban Development to comply with public records laws amid concerns over how AI is being used to “weaken” existing federal regulations. Democracy Forward said it reviewed both public records and documents obtained through FOIA requests and found GSA plays a “central role” in the White House's efforts to overhaul regulations. The nonprofit cited an apparent email trail, in which a GSA-affiliated email informs other agencies of “significant progress” in reviewing its internal and external policies to ensure consistency with President Donald Trump's directives. The suit further pointed to reports of an AI tool called SweetREX developed by an affiliate of the Department of Government Efficiency.

Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech Training and Pico TechnologyWatch Full Video EpisodeMatt Fanslow explores the complex relationship between passion, purpose, and the realities of working in the automotive repair industry. Inspired by a story of a successful businessman who rediscovers his childhood joy fixing bicycles, Matt reflects on how easily passion can fade — and what shop owners and managers can do to help their teams rekindle it.He tackles the classic debate of “follow your passion” versus “follow the money,” examines how shop culture and leadership can either nurture or crush enthusiasm, and shares candid thoughts on his own journey to keep that sense of wonder alive through advanced diagnostics, ADAS calibrations, EEPROM work, and more.From systemic demotivators like inadequate tooling and broken pay structures, to the transformative power of genuine leadership excitement, Matt invites listeners to reconsider how they approach motivation and fulfillment in their shops — and in their own careers.Key Takeaways:A Lesson in Passion: A story about a man who spent decades in a corporate career before returning to his childhood love — repairing bicycles — illustrates how deeply rooted passions can resurface and transform our lives.Passion vs. Paycheck: Matt discusses the tension between following your passion and pursuing financial stability — and why the answer isn't always as simple as motivational slogans make it seem.Keeping the Spark Alive: For technicians and shop owners alike, maintaining interest and curiosity often requires growth: new tools, deeper training, challenging work, and continuous learning.Demotivators in the Shop: Being “set up to fail” — whether through lack of equipment, poor information, inadequate training, or broken systems — is one of the most effective ways to kill enthusiasm and productivity.The Leadership Role: Leaders who show excitement about the work and actively celebrate their team's wins help create a culture that sustains passion rather than drains it.Shops as Schools: Matt draws a comparison to how schools can drain curiosity from kids, urging shop owners to avoid building environments that strip away the same energy and wonder from their technicians.Notable Quotes:“Those who do not believe in magic will never find it.” – Roald Dahl“Sometimes work sucks the wonder right out of us — the same way school can strip curiosity from kids.”“I get into advanced diagnostics, ADAS, EEPROM work — not just because I can, but because it keeps that childlike wonder alive.”“Setting someone up to fail isn't just about tooling or training. It's about robbing them of the chance to succeed — and that kills passion faster than anything.”Thanks to our Partner, NAPA Autotech TrainingNAPA Autotech's team of ASE Master Certified Instructors are conducting over 1,200 classes covering 28 automotive topics.

Key Insights: Technician Sentiment: 50% wouldn't recommend their shop, with negativity dominating social media. Career Development: Technicians want visible growth paths, certifications, and new specialized roles like ADAS or EV diagnostics. Compensation: Pay remains the top frustration. Shops need profitability strategies and flexible pay plans (61% prefer hourly/salary with bonus). Culture & Tools: Proper equipment, work-life balance, and intentional team-building are critical to retention. Professionalism: Shifting language from “mechanic” to “specialist/technologist” elevates the industry's perception. Leadership & Communication: Shop owners must ask “why,” listen to technicians, and implement meaningful change.
