In this episode, Heather welcomes back Rachel Alday, co-founder of Abode Luxury Rentals, to talk about the leadership framework at the heart of her new book, Please Do Disturb: How True Leaders Show Up When It Matters Most, written with her longtime company culture consultants at Tandemly. Rachel walks through the three commitments: show up, make room, and build belonging. It is a deceptively simple framework, illustrated with real stories from running a luxury rental company, including the anniversary couple whose hot tub let them down on arrival night and what her team did instead of scrambling for a technician. Along the way, the conversation covers the service recovery paradox, why every guest and homeowner complaint has a thing behind the thing, and how to train a team so this kind of hospitality shows up consistently, not just when the founders are in the room. Key Takeaways The three commitments give hospitality a trainable shape: show up (be fully present, not typing while you listen), make room (hear the whole issue before your brain starts drafting its rebuttal), and build belonging (make deeper connection the goal of every interaction). The service recovery paradox: a guest who hits friction and watches you handle it well often ends up more loyal than one whose stay was flawless, because the problem created a chance to connect that a perfect stay never would. Ask for the thing behind the thing. The anniversary couple with the lukewarm hot tub did not want a repair at 9pm, they wanted quiet time together, so the team set up a private fire pit next door with blankets and spiced cider. Homeowner frustration usually has a root cause too. A flood of small complaints may trace back to one stressful moment, like re-entering banking details after a software switch. Find that, solve that, and the rest often dissolves. Train leaders first. Teach managers to use the three commitments with their own team, let staff experience it from the inside, and front-line people will carry it to guests and owners naturally. A company retreat compresses months of connection into a few days. Even with 5 or 10 employees, Rachel considers it one of the highest-value investments a hospitality business can make. _______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

When's the last time you thought about whether the way you're showing up in your business is actually attracting the people you want in your community? There's plenty of pressure to perform online. Follow the formula. Feed the algorithm. Polish your content until it looks perfect. Yet, the more polished and automated marketing becomes, the more valuable genuine human connection can feel. In this Mastering Excellence conversation, Nikki welcomes visibility mentor and Behavior Change Specialist Chardét Ryel to explore what it means to call in a community instead of constantly pushing your message out. You learn how your voice, curiosity, listening skills, and willingness to show up as yourself create trust and attract people who already feel aligned with you before a sales conversation even begins. The Transformation Before listening, you may find yourself: Feeling pressure to perform or present a polished version of yourself online. Relying on marketing formulas that don't feel natural to you. Wondering how to attract more of the right people without constantly promoting yourself. Moving too quickly into selling when you recognize someone may need what you offer. After listening, you learn how to: Use your natural voice to build authority, trust, and connection. Create marketing that allows the right people to self-select into your community. Ask better questions and listen beyond what's being said. Recognize when curiosity, pauses, and genuine connection create opportunities for deeper sales conversations. Build an evergreen ecosystem that allows people to discover you when they're ready. Key Takeaways In this episode, Nikki and Chardét discuss: Why becoming more human matters as AI makes content easier to automate and polish. The difference between push marketing and creating an environment that naturally pulls the right people toward you. Why showing up authentically doesn't mean everyone needs to become unscripted. How asking genuine questions allows you to understand someone before deciding whether there's a sales opportunity. Why being willing to pause and listen is an advanced sales skill. How creating safety and paying attention to nonverbal cues strengthens trust. Why your marketing ecosystem needs evergreen content people can discover long after you create it. Call In Instead of Constantly Pushing Out Chardét describes calling in your community through the difference between push and pull marketing. Push marketing puts your message in front of people, often without knowing whether they're the right fit. Pull marketing creates an environment where your messaging, voice, branding, and client experience attract people who recognize themselves in what you're sharing. By the time this person reaches a sales conversation or checkout page, they've already started to self-select. This doesn't mean you stop promoting your business. It means you create more opportunities for the right people to think: "You're my person." This makes the sales conversation more natural because you're not trying to convince someone to fit. You're discovering whether the alignment is already there. Show Up in a Way That Feels Like You When Nikki asks Chardét for the first thing someone needs to understand about how she calls in her community, Chardét's answer is: Be willing to go unscripted. For Chardét, this means allowing train-of-thought moments, laughter, changes of direction, and imperfection to show up in her videos, webinars, newsletters, and podcast. However, the lesson isn't that everyone needs to throw away their scripts. The deeper question is: What truly feels like you? When structure makes you feel grounded and confident, use structure. When you're at your best responding in the moment, give yourself more room to be unscripted. The goal isn't to imitate someone else's version of authenticity. It's to communicate in a way that lets people experience the real you. Curiosity Before the Sales Opportunity Chardét shares that there was a time when meeting someone with a potential need immediately triggered the thought: "I need to sell to you." Now, she approaches these conversations differently. Even when someone mentions wanting to start a podcast or YouTube channel, she doesn't immediately move into selling. She asks questions. She listens. She gets curious about what this person wants to achieve and why it matters to them. This gives her the opportunity to understand more than whether there's a match between a need and one of her offers. She can also notice whether there's alignment in values, motivation, and the way they want to work. For Nikki, this reinforces a core principle of relationship-based selling: understand the person before you move toward the sale. The Power of the Pause One of the most useful sales skills in this conversation is also one of the simplest: Be willing to pause. Chardét intentionally leaves space in conversations instead of immediately filling the silence. Why? Because people often keep talking. And what comes next can be the information you really need. Nikki describes being comfortable with silence as an advanced selling skill. When you don't rush to fill every pause, the other person may tell you how to relate to them, how to earn their trust, what matters to them, and even how to sell to them. The pause isn't empty space. It's an opportunity to listen. Nikki's Three Things That Need to Be in Place Before You Sell The conversation about listening and referrals brings forward an important Sales Maven framework. Before selling to someone, Nikki teaches that three things need to be in place: 1. They understand they have a need. When someone isn't aware of a need, earning their business becomes much more difficult. 2. You have a solution that meets this need. A need doesn't automatically mean your offer is the right solution. 3. You have permission. Before moving into selling, make sure you've earned permission to have this conversation. This is one reason referrals can feel so natural. Someone recognizes a need, knows a person who has a solution, and asks permission to make the introduction. These same three elements belong in your sales conversations. Build an Evergreen Ecosystem Calling in your community isn't only about how you show up in a one-on-one conversation. Chardét encourages business owners to create an ecosystem that gives people multiple ways to enter their world. This may include: A podcast YouTube A newsletter Webinars Other evergreen content You don't always know where a future buyer discovers you or when they're ready to engage. Creating at least one evergreen platform means the work you're doing today continues to introduce people to your voice, ideas, and business in the future. This also reduces the pressure to constantly recreate content simply to stay visible. A Quote Worth Remembering "The pause isn't empty space. It's an opportunity to listen." Try This This Week Choose one conversation this week and practice staying curious longer than you normally would. Ask one more genuine question before talking about yourself or your offer. Then, when the other person finishes answering, allow a pause. Don't rush to fill it. Pay attention to what they say next, the words they choose, their body language, and what seems important to them. Notice what you learn when your goal is understanding the person instead of getting to the sales opportunity. Who This Episode Is For This episode is especially valuable when you: Want to attract aligned clients without relying entirely on social media algorithms. Feel pressure to present a polished version of yourself online. Want your visibility strategy to feel more natural and sustainable. Are working on asking better questions and listening more deeply in sales conversations. Want to build authority and trust without constantly proving your expertise. Are creating a community around your business and want the right people to recognize that they belong there.

Send us Fan MailA trade show doesn't become a must-attend “family reunion” by accident. We're joined by Marty Boltres and Matt Poe from Shed Business Journal to tell the behind-the-scenes story of how the Shed Builder Expo grew from earlier customer events into a fast-scaling hub for the shed industry and portable building industry.We dig into what makes this event different: real face-to-face conversations, a show floor that stays busy, and education sessions led by people who have actually built, sold, or advised shed businesses. Marty shares what growth looks like from the organizer side, why Knoxville has become a strong home base, and how the team even blocks more than 1,000 hotel rooms to make attendance easier. Matt breaks down the “community hub” philosophy and why live coverage helps people who cannot make the trip get a real feel for what's happening.Then we look forward. We talk about the surge in sales technology, the steady flow of new products that help shed dealers differentiate, and what industry consolidation means as the market matures. Marty also points to ADUs, tiny homes, and park models as a transformational lane to watch, plus why smart businesses adjust quickly when demand softens.If you're planning to attend, head to shedbuilderexpo.com and pre-register, then share this with someone who needs a reason to get in the room.

“Demand avoidance”, poor generalization, prompt-dependence, and social skills challenges seem like isolated issues. But often they're not. Many times they're tied to executive functioning challenges. That's why when I describe “executive dysfunction”, I cluster it into five broad areas:Attention, Learning Challenges, Behavioral Issues, Organization, and Social SkillsUsually, this is the point that the lightbulb goes on for a lot of clinicians and educators in the room as they realize executive functioning is the common sticking point behind many of their students' challenges.When I support clinicians in designing executive functioning intervention frameworks, I start with explaining the external signs. Things like:✅ Refusing to do even the simplest of tasks, and putting more effort into avoiding the work than it would take to actually do it✅Behaviors that seem disproportionate to the situation, melt downs over things that barely phase their peers✅ Always appearing to be several steps behind✅ Not “reading the room” during functional tasks, and requiring tons of prompts✅ Lack of awareness of how they're coming across to othersIn episode 266 of De Facto Leaders, I do a deep dive into these five external signs that tie back to executive functioning challenges. In this episode, I mention the Task Execution and Planning Protocol, which gives school clinicians an intervention strategy that takes students from “demand avoidance” and prompt dependence to independence during daily academic and functional tasks. You can learn more about the Task Execution and Planning Protocol here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/taskexecutionIn this episode, I mentioned School of Clinical Leadership, my program that helps related service providers design scalable executive functioning interventions to ensure students get the scaffolding they need across the school day. You can learn more about the program here: https://drkarendudekbrannan.com/clinicalleadership

Today on The John McGinness Show Errors in felony cases in Nevada County that were linked to the use of artificial intelligence have raised concerns about AI's growing role in the court system and the potential consequences when technology is relied upon too heavily. The controversy highlights the importance of human oversight, critical thinking, and ensuring that legal professionals continue to do their own writing, research, and analysis rather than depending on AI-generated work. Separately, State Senator Suzette Martinez Valladares sought to amend AB 2691 to prevent child sex offenders from holding public office or serving on school boards in California, but the proposal was rejected along party-line votes. Meanwhile, a proposal for a pilot program of "Sexual Relief Clinics" for homeless individuals was introduced during a public comment period at a Los Angeles City Council meeting, drawing public attention and debate.

Leaders do not simply enter a room. They change it. In episode 632 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Debbie Foster about leading self, the first cornerstone from their new book, Be a Next Level Leader.  Debbie explains why “leaders bring the weather” and how a leader's emotions, attention, and energy can shape an entire meeting. Together, they explore what happens when leaders make promises they cannot realistically keep, become bottlenecks for their teams, or undermine decisions by delivering them as someone else's instructions.  They also discuss why honoring commitments is essential to building trust, how to renegotiate a deadline without hiding behind busyness, and what it means to speak as a leader even when you disagree with a decision.

In this Greatest Hits episode, Candace revisits her Season 7 parenting conversations with Dr. Josh and Christi Straub, joined by her husband, Val, and her son, Max. Val and Candace talk about the years of showing up: sitting in a cold hockey rink, keeping phones out of the car and off the table, and staying present when a teenager says something that stings. The days are long, they admit, but the years are short—and the time you invest is what your kids carry with them long after the games are over. Max also opens up about a harder question: finding his purpose. After building his life around hockey, he began questioning who he was without it. Candace and Josh walk through identity, a smoothie shop conversation that shifted something in him, and a simple prayer Josh returns to when he needs to hear from God. A new listener question closes the episode from a 36-year-old wondering whether she's ready to become a mom. For more from Candace, sign up for email updates at candace.com.

You've done the work. Everything should be easy now, right?On today's episode of Life Happens with Barb and Michelle, Barb and Michelle explore what happens when stress and overwhelm show up, even when you've been doing the work, and challenge the common misconception that mindfulness “fixes everything.” In a real time moment during the recording, Barb becomes overwhelmed and asks to pause, creating an honest example of what it looks like to stop, acknowledge what you're feeling, and give yourself space rather than pushing through. Barb speaks on how external circumstances cannot be controlled, only we as individuals can control their internal responses and rebuild their mind's narrative. Michelle walks through helpful frameworks like taking the mind to the gym and creating new neural pathways, they emphasize that managing stress is an ongoing practice of self-worth and resilience. Ultimately, they encourage listeners to offer themselves grace and practice tools like pausing, positive affirmations, journaling, self-compassion, and setting boundaries.In This Episode, We Discuss:✨ What to do in the moment when you feel stress and overwhelm.✨Reframing the mind and building new emotional habits and skills.✨The pitfalls of becoming more aware.✨The power of the pause.

Send us Fan MailThere is a moment in your career when you may still be showing up to meetings, answering emails, and doing your job, but something inside you has already shifted.You have not resigned yet. You may not even be actively job searching. But you have stopped believing there is a real future for you where you are.I call that moment “crossing the bridge.”In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I'm talking about what happens when a mid-career professional emotionally detaches from their job long before they turn in their notice. If you are feeling disengaged, overlooked, stalled, or uncertain about whether to stay or leave, this episode will help you slow down, get honest, and make a more intentional career decision.I share a story from my own leadership experience when a simple set of one-on-one questions revealed something I could not ignore. People on my team were already planning their exits. Within a few months, nine out of ten of them had moved on. That experience taught me a powerful lesson about employee disengagement, leadership, retention, and what people need before they decide there is no future left for them inside an organization.Crossing the bridge is not the same as having a bad day, feeling frustrated, or being disappointed by one decision. It is deeper than that. It is the point where hope starts to disappear.For many mid-career professionals, that happens after repeated missed promotion opportunities, unclear feedback, broken trust, leadership changes, stalled growth, or a growing disconnect between where the organization is headed and what they want for their career.If you have been wondering whether it is time to leave your job, this episode will help you examine what is really going on before you make your next move. I walk you through practical career coaching prompts to help you clarify what you need, advocate for yourself, explore internal opportunities, and decide whether your next chapter can happen where you are or somewhere else.I also flip the lens to leadership development and employee retention. If you are a manager or senior leader, this episode will help you notice the warning signs before a resignation lands in your inbox. Great employees rarely leave in one moment. They often leave in stages. By the time they resign, they may have been emotionally gone for months.And when someone has truly crossed the bridge, more money or a counteroffer may not solve the real problem. Sometimes the most effective leadership move is not convincing them to stay. It is helping them finish strong, transfer knowledge, leave with dignity, and preserve the relationship.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• What “crossing the bridge” means in your career• Why people often leave emotionally before they resign officially• A real leadership story about one-on-ones that revealed who was preparing to leave• The warning signs of disengagement, emotional detachment, and lost hope at work• Why frustration alone does not always make someone leave• What changes when a mid-career professional stops believing there is a future where they are• How stalled growth, missed promotions, broken trust, and leadership changes affect retention• Questions to ask yourself before deciding to resign• How to communicate what you need before you decide to leave• Why internal career options should be explored before jumping too quickly• What managers should notice before a resignation happens• Why counteroffers often fail when money is not the real issue• How strong leaders help employees finish well and exit with dignityCareer Coaching Questions to Ask YourselfIf you are wondering whether you have crossed the bridge in your current job, start by asking yourself:• Do I still believe there is a future for me in this organization?• Have I clearly communicated what I want next in my career?• Have I advocated for the promotion, opportunity, visibility, or leadership role I want?• Am I reacting to a frustrating moment, or am I responding to a repeated pattern?• What would need to change for me to feel re-engaged?• Have I explored internal opportunities before assuming I need to leave?• Am I staying because I want to be here, or because I am afraid to make a move?These questions matter because career clarity does not come from panic. It comes from telling yourself the truth and making a strategic decision from there.For Leaders and ManagersIf you lead a team, this episode is also an invitation to pay closer attention.Your best people may not always tell you they are disengaged. They may keep performing. They may stay professional. They may continue delivering results. But underneath the surface, they may already be deciding whether they still have a future with you.Strong leaders notice the shift before the resignation. They ask better questions. They listen for what is not being said. They create space for honest career conversations before it is too late.And when a valued employee decides their next opportunity is not available inside the organization, strong leaders help them leave well. That means helping them finish strong, transfer knowledge, preserve relationships, and exit with dignity.Retention is not only about keeping people. It is also about leading them well, even when their next chapter is somewhere else.Why This Matters for Mid-Career ProfessionalsAt mid-career, your decisions carry more weight. You are not just looking for any next job. You are looking for a role, organization, and career path that align with who you are now and where you want to go next.If you are feeling stuck, overlooked, or disconnected from your work, this episode will help you determine whether you are dealing with a temporary frustration or a deeper career signal.You deserve to make your next move with clarity, not resentment. You deserve to know whether there is still room for you to grow where you are or whether it is time to build your next chapter somewhere else.Listen to This Episode If You Are:• Thinking about leaving your job but unsure whether it is the right move• Feeling disengaged, overlooked, or emotionally detached at work• Wondering whether you still have growth potential in your current organization• Struggling after being passed over for a promotion or leadership opportunity• Trying to decide whether to stay, transfer internally, or start a job search• Leading a team and wanting to improve retention and employee engagement• Managing someone who may be preparing for their next career move• Looking for career clarity, leadership growth, and a more intentional next stepIf this episode made you realize you may have already crossed the bridge in your current role, do not rush your next move. Get clear first.Take time to identify what you want, what you need, what you have already asked for, and whether your next opportunity can happen where you are or somewhere else.And if you are ready to get more strategic about your next career move, I invite you to connect with me and explore how coaching can help you build your Mid-Career GPS with more clarity, confidence, and direction.Support the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.  Follow John on Instagram @johnneralcoaching. Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.  Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.This podcast is listed in Feedspot's Top 90 Best Executive Career Podcasts.https://podcast.feedspot.com/executive_career_podcasts/

Evil Dead: Burn (2026)Director: Sebastián Vaneček Starring: Suheyla Yacoub, Tandy Wright, Hunter Doohan, Luciane BuchananThe Deadites are back, and this time they brought a body count and a grudge. This week on the Dewey Pod Monster podcast, we tear into Evil Dead: Burn, the newest entry in the long-running franchise, and figure out whether it earns the name on the poster or just borrows it. Expect strong opinions, a franchise history lesson, and at least one hot dog-based rating system.In this episode, we discuss:Does It Even Deserve the Name? — We dig into whether slapping "Evil Dead" on a movie automatically raises (or wrecks) expectations, and whether this one actually earns the title.Practical vs. Digital Gore — A full-throated rant on the franchise's practical effects legacy and where this entry falls short — or leans too hard on CG in its climax.Characters We Actually Care About (or Don't) — We break down the cast, the family drama at the center of the story, and why some of us just couldn't connect with anyone on screen.The Rules of an Evil Dead Movie — A deep dive into franchise logic, lore-bending choices, and the moments that made us go "how the hell did that happen?"We Also Talked About:Burden of Dreams (Ok.Ru) — Werner Herzog's legendary making-of documentary, discussed as an all-time favorite deep in the show's opening segment.Dark Side of the Ring: Ultimate Fantasy: The Fall of Renegade (DailyMotion) — The wrestling documentary episode covering Rick "The Renegade" Wilson's tragic story, brought up during our wrestling tangent.Python Hunt (Amazon) — A Florida-set documentary about amateur hunters tracking invasive Burmese pythons in the Everglades, discussed as unintentionally hilarious "watch for the bumpkins" viewing.Killer Thong (Tubi) — A gloriously dumb low-budget horror movie about a reanimated killer thong, discussed purely for its "so bad it's good" charm.Jackass: Best & Last (Amazon) — The crew's latest (and possibly final) entry, discussed as low-budget, dumb, and exactly the kind of chaos we love.Some of the above links are affiliate links — if you purchase through them we get a small kickback, and it's the best way to support the show.New episodes of the Dewey Pod Monster podcast drop every week.

It didn't disappear on the estimate — it leaked out in eight places you're probably not tracking.In this episode of Contractor Cuts, Clark and James walk through the leaky bucket: the specific spots where contractors quietly bleed profit, and what to tighten up so you can pick up two to four points on every job.They cover:Unbilled trips — the drive-bys, Home Depot runs, and "I'll be right over" calls eating three hours a weekTimeline slip — how a three-week job becoming four weeks costs you 20% of your annual revenueGray area absorption — saying yes to free work and never naming itFlat markup — why 35% across the board loses you bids and underprices your riskEquipment sitting idle — the toys you justify for one job and pay for all yearFree pre-construction — why every estimate needs a pre-con line, even a $150 oneRework from late decisions — the changes that cost $400 now and $4,000 laterOverhead creep — why one good month isn't permission to buy the truckWhich leak Clark and James think is the most dangerous — and why it's the hardest to seeIf you're doing good work and still wondering where the money went, start here.

Audio-only note: There will not be a video version of this episode this week. We are currently without power after the derecho that came through our area, but we still wanted to get this important conversation out to you.   For years, homeowners found landscapers by asking a neighbor, searching Google, and reading reviews. They still do. But now more people are also asking AI tools questions like: “Who are the best landscapers near me for a patio?” or “Who can fix drainage problems in my area?” That is where AEO — Answer Engine Optimization — comes in.   In simple terms, AEO is about making it easy for AI-powered search tools to understand who you are, what services you offer, where you work, and why homeowners should trust you. Your website and Google Business Profile are still essential, but they are now part of a bigger picture. Google's own guidance says that strong search fundamentals—useful content, a clear site structure, crawlable pages, and accurate local-business details—remain the foundation for visibility in its AI search features.   In this episode, Scott covers: •What AEO means in plain English—and what it does not mean •Why a nice website and a solid Google Business Profile are only the starting point •The five things homeowners and AI tools need to understand about your company •How clear services, service areas, photos, reviews, and helpful answers build trust •A free, unsponsored tool—AgentChecker.ai—that can help you see where your website stands   Important: AgentChecker.ai can surface technical terms such as structured data, accessibility, Core Web Vitals, and headers.

Leaders do not simply enter a room. They change it. In episode 632 of the Lawyerist Podcast, Stephanie Everett talks with Debbie Foster about leading self, the first cornerstone from their new book, Be a Next Level Leader.  Debbie explains why “leaders bring the weather” and how a leader's emotions, attention, and energy can shape an entire meeting. Together, they explore what happens when leaders make promises they cannot realistically keep, become bottlenecks for their teams, or undermine decisions by delivering them as someone else's instructions.  They also discuss why honoring commitments is essential to building trust, how to renegotiate a deadline without hiding behind busyness, and what it means to speak as a leader even when you disagree with a decision. Debbie and Stephanie share practical scripts, exercises, and shared language law firm teams can use to make better leadership habits part of everyday work.  If you want your team to trust your word, follow your direction, and feel secure when pressure rises, better leadership starts with understanding how you show up.  Listen to our previous episodes on Law Firm Leadership, Self-Awareness & Building Stronger Teams.  #627: Building Stronger Law Firm Teams Through Better Communication, with Zeina Baydoun Apple | Spotify | LTN  #615: How to Stop Being the Bottleneck and Build Stronger Teams, with Debbie Foster and Stephanie Everett Apple | Spotify | LTN  #596: The Athlete's Mindset for Lawyers, with Jess Sargus Apple | Spotify | LTN  #592: Client Care, Culture, and Character: A Framework for Great Leaders, with William O'Neal Apple | Spotify | LTN  #527: Casting Your Vision and Leading Your Firm, with Kevin DeShazo Apple | Spotify | LTN  Links from the episode:  https://beanextlevelleader.com/    Have thoughts about today's episode?

oday on Black Dragon Biker TV we dig into two hot stories:Chaos in Dearborn, MichiganTuesday night (Aug 18) turned into a full-blown confrontation outside the Dearborn City Council meeting. Far-right activist Jake Lang and supporters staged a “Christian Crusader” anti-Islam protest that drew a large crowd, riot police, SWAT, arrests, and heated clashes.Social media was flooded with claims that “hundreds” or even thousands of bikers were rolling in. Hotels were supposedly packed with riders. Viral videos of massive motorcycle convoys circulated… but many of those videos were quickly debunked as old footage from a Brazilian club event.So what really happened? Did bikers show up en masse, or was it mostly online hype? We're breaking down the real numbers and the footage.Hells Angels targeted by cops in CanadaPatch-wearing Hells Angels members are drawing heavy police attention again. In Ontario, officers are cracking down on “gang colours” in restaurants and public places. There's also ongoing court action from a Hamilton bar assault involving Hells Angels and Red Devils, plus broader enforcement pressure across the country.Straight talk on both stories. No filter.Join us as we discuss. Violence/news disclaimer: This episode contains discussion of real-world protests, police activity, and outlaw motorcycle club issues.

Carsin Boeck, HR leader of Washworld, sits down with InitiativeOne CEO Tracy Johnson and shares her candid internal dialogue from her very first day sitting at the executive table. Learn her personal framework of self-affirmation, framing a major career promotion not as an intimidating point, but as the "marathon" she trained 10 years to run.

On this episode of Destination on the Left, I talk with Morag Barrett, leadership expert, executive coach, keynote speaker, and author of You, Me, We: Why We All Need a Friend at Work and How to Show Up as One. Morag shares why meaningful workplace relationships are no longer a "nice to have" but a critical leadership skill in today's rapidly changing world. We explore how leaders can strengthen human connection, build trust, and create workplaces where people feel supported, challenged, and empowered to do their best work. From navigating uncertainty to embracing vulnerability and accountability, Morag offers practical strategies that apply not only to leadership but to every relationship we build throughout our lives. What You Will Learn in This Episode: Why the human side of leadership often determines long-term organizational success  How uncertainty, rapid change, and remote work have reshaped workplace relationships  What it means to adopt an ally mindset and why everyone needs a friend at work  How the five Ally Mindset practices strengthen trust, collaboration, and accountability  Why meaningful conversations begin by checking in on people before focusing on the work  How leaders can create environments where candor, healthy debate, and new ideas flourish  Practical ways to strengthen relationships through small, intentional actions every day  Why Human Connection Matters More Than Ever Throughout her career, Morag Barrett has observed that successful organizations aren't defined solely by strategy, systems, or technology. Instead, their greatest advantage comes from how people relate to one another. While technical expertise remains essential, lasting success depends on trust, communication, and the quality of workplace relationships.  As organizations continue navigating constant change, hybrid work, artificial intelligence, and ongoing uncertainty, many employees are feeling increasingly disconnected. Morag explains that while conversations around leadership and emotional intelligence have grown, the challenge remains helping leaders invest the time required to strengthen relationships. Rather than treating connection as a soft skill, she encourages leaders to recognize it as a business imperative that directly influences engagement, collaboration, and performance.  Becoming an Ally at Work Morag shares the inspiration behind her book, You, Me, We, which reframes Gallup's familiar question, "Do I have a best friend at work?" into a more powerful leadership challenge: "Am I a friend at work?" This shift encourages individuals to focus less on what they receive from others and more on how they intentionally support those around them.  The conversation explores the five practices of the Ally Mindset: abundance and generosity, connection and compassion, courage and vulnerability, candor and debate, and action and accountability. Together, these practices create a framework for building healthier relationships, encouraging honest conversations, and fostering workplaces where people feel seen, valued, and supported. Rather than relying on grand gestures, Morag demonstrates how consistent everyday behaviors create lasting trust across teams and organizations.  Small Actions That Create Lasting Impact One of the most practical takeaways from this conversation is Morag's reminder that meaningful relationships are built through small, intentional moments. Whether asking a teammate, "What's your number today?" to better understand how they're showing up, expressing appreciation to someone who has positively influenced your career, or simply making time to truly listen, these simple actions create powerful ripple effects.  Morag also challenges leaders to reflect on how they are remembered by those they work alongside. The question isn't simply whether you have supportive colleagues, but whether others would eagerly choose to work with you again. By focusing on intentional connection, personal accountability, and genuine care for others, leaders can strengthen their teams while creating cultures where both people and organizations thrive.  Resources: Website: SkyeTeam.com Ally Mindset Self-Assessment: SkyeTeam.cloud/youmewe LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/moragbarrett/

There's a kind of exhaustion that doesn't show up in your calendar. It's the invisible work of holding everything together, of being the one everyone turns to, the one who never cracks. You carry it so well that people forget you're carrying anything at all, and eventually, you start to forget too. Natasha Bryant, a licensed therapist and confidence mindset coach who works with high-achieving women, joins host Sreemedha to talk about what over-functioning really costs, why it so often gets mistaken for strength, and how to start setting boundaries without the guilt of letting anyone down. About the Guest: Natasha Bryant, LCSW, is a licensed clinical social worker, execution strategist, and keynote speaker, and the founder of Speak Life Transformation. With over 15 years of clinical experience, she helps high-achieving women navigate burnout, self-doubt, and perfectionism, blending clinical expertise with mindset coaching to help clients build sustainable success without losing themselves in the process. Key Takeaways: Over-functioning isn't going above and beyond for impact, it's often proving your worth to spaces you fear you don't belong in. Watch for burnout signs like emotional exhaustion, cognitive fog, and quiet resentment toward people who never step up the way you do. Ask yourself: is there a responsibility I'm carrying that was never mine to carry in the first place? Setting a boundary doesn't always mean saying no to someone else, sometimes it just means not doing the solving for them. Less stress, more time, and things feeling simpler are signs the shift is working, that's often more available than you think. Connect With the Guest:

Andy Henriquez, known as the Master Storyteller, is a business storytelling coach, keynote speaker, and founder of the Master Storyteller Academy. He helps entrepreneurs, executives, and organizations use strategic storytelling to build stronger connections, elevate their brands, and drive revenue growth. The author of Show Up for Your Life, Andy has worked with organizations including NASA, Accenture, Pratt & Whitney, Bacardi, and Google. In this episode, he shares how a chance conversation at a gas station changed the trajectory of his career, how he turned his real estate knowledge into his first information product, and why storytelling and personal investment can be powerful tools for creating opportunities. On this episode we talk about: How a random conversation at a gas station led Andy into real estate and ultimately changed his career Turning knowledge and expertise into seminars, information products, and revenue Why storytelling is one of the most powerful ways to build genuine connections The difference between being in the right place at the right time and being the right person at the right time Andy's life-changing decision to invest $30,000 in coaching with legendary speaker Les Brown Why you shouldn't wait for someone else to give you an opportunity—you should create your own stage How investing in yourself can build confidence, accountability, and long-term results Top 3 Takeaways Create your own opportunities. Don't sit around waiting for someone to give you a seat at the table. Put yourself in environments where opportunities can happen, then be prepared to act when they do. Become the right person for the opportunity. Being in the right place at the right time isn't enough. Your mindset, preparation, and willingness to act determine whether you'll recognize and capitalize on an opportunity. Invest in yourself at the level of the results you want. Andy's $30,000 investment in coaching forced him to take his goals seriously and become more accountable. Even when an investment doesn't immediately produce the expected result, the lessons and experience can become part of the process that eventually pays off. Notable Quotes "The shortest distance between you and the person that you're either looking to connect with or the person that you're looking to influence is really like a story." "You have to invest at the level in which you expect results." "Successful people commit first, and then they figure it out."

Send us Fan MailGetting passed over for a promotion is painful. But getting passed over and then hearing nothing about why can feel even worse.In this episode of The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, I dig into what happens after an internal promotion rejection when your leader or organization does not give you a clear explanation. For many mid-career professionals, the silence can create anxiety, frustration, and a lot of mental noise. You start filling in the blanks. You question your performance. You wonder if you are not visible enough, not strategic enough, or not seen as ready for the next level.But here is the truth: silence does not always mean failure. It often means your organization does not know how to talk about promotion readiness, leadership potential, and career growth in a clear and helpful way.I talk about the difference between managing someone's performance and developing their career. Your manager may know how to evaluate your current work, but that does not mean they are equipped to help you grow into your next leadership opportunity. When your conversations are only about output, deadlines, and deliverables, your career momentum can quietly stall.If you have been passed over for an internal promotion, this episode will help you stop spiraling and start gathering useful data. I walk you through how to ask for a feedback conversation with confidence, how to listen without getting defensive, and how to recognize patterns over time so you can make a more informed decision about your future.Because in this current job market, career clarity matters. If your leader and organization are not willing to invest in your growth, you have to decide whether they deserve your long-term time, energy, and loyalty.In This Episode, You'll Learn:• Why getting passed over for a promotion hurts more when no one explains the decision• How ambiguity after a promotion rejection creates anxiety and unhelpful stories• Why many leaders avoid career conversations about potential, readiness, and growth• The difference between managing performance and developing a career• How resentment can lower your visibility and cost you influence• How to ask for an intentional feedback conversation with confidence• What to listen for when your leader gives you feedback• Why you should not defend, argue, or re-interview for the role during the conversation• How to look for patterns and use them as career data• How to decide whether your current leader and organization can truly support your growthWhy This Matters for Mid-Career ProfessionalsAt mid-career, doing good work is no longer enough. You need to know how decision makers see your leadership, your readiness, your visibility, and your potential.When you do not get the promotion, the goal is not to immediately assume something is wrong with you. The goal is to get clearer about what happened, what was missing, what was never communicated, and what you can do next.That clarity helps you make better decisions. You may decide to stay and build a stronger case for your next promotion. You may decide to repair your relationship with your manager. Or you may realize that your current workplace is not the best place for your next level of growth.Either way, you deserve more than silence.Key TakeawayIf you were passed over for a promotion and no one told you why, do not let the silence become the story. Ask for the conversation. Listen for patterns. Gather the data. Then decide whether your current organization is still the right place for your leadership, growth, and career goals.Listen to This Episode If You Are:• A mid-career professional who was recently passed over for a promotion• Struggling to understand why you did not get selected for an internal role• Wondering whether your manager is truly invested in your career growth• Feeling stuck, overlooked, or undervalued at work• Trying to improve your visibility, influence, and promotion readiness• Deciding whether to stay in your current organization or explore a new opportunity• Looking for career clarity in a challenging job marketCall to ActionIf this episode resonates with you, I invite you to listen, subscribe to The Mid-Career GPS Podcast, and share it with another mid-career professional who is trying to figure out their next move.And if you are tired of being passed over, overlooked, or left to figure out your career growth on your own, visit johnneral.com to learn how I can help you build your Mid-Career GPS and create a career path with more clarity, confidence, and momentum.Support the showIf this episode resonated with you and you want more support in how you SHOW UP for your career and life, there are two ways we can work together.Learn more about my SHOW UP Leadership Lab, my monthly membership program, at https://www.johnneral.com/showupIf you would like to learn more about how I can help you as your leadership and career coach, visit https://www.johnneral.com/workwithme.Get John's free weekly leadership and career newsletter at https://www.johnneral.com/the-mid-career-gps-newsletterOther ways we can connect:Connect with John on LinkedIn here.Get John's books on Amazon here.  Follow John on Instagram @johnneralcoaching. Subscribe to John's YouTube Channel here.  Please leave a rating and review on Apple Podcasts here.This podcast is listed in Feedspot's Top 90 Best Executive Career Podcasts.https://podcast.feedspot.com/executive_career_podcasts/

In a virtual world where it's easy to click “Start Meeting” and start talking, how you show up can be just as important as what you say. We welcome the Owner and CEO of Insignia Training Partners, Bernie DeSantis III.  Bernie is a virtual event consultant, leadership trainer, facilitator, and producer.  We dive into a conversation about transforming virtual meetings, webinars, and training sessions into memorable experiences. Bernie shares insights from his leadership journey—including his 2022 acquisition of Insignia—and explains why leaders need to be intentional about their “virtual real estate,” from camera positioning and stage design to making audio a priority over video. We explore the difference between simply presenting information and creating an experience. Of course, no conversation with Bernie would be complete without a little fun—and the story behind his famous mustache, which has become part of his personal brand. Highlights include: Be intentional about your stage: Your camera, background, lighting, framing, and overall virtual presence are part of your “virtual real estate.” Don't prioritize video over audio: Great virtual experiences begin with clear, professional sound. How you're perceived is how you will be received: Leadership presence matters both on and off camera. Networking is about relationships, not collecting connections: Being in the right room can make all the difference. AI and technology advancements: Leaders and facilitators should lean into the qualities that make them uniquely human.

You don't have a readiness problem, friend. You have an obedience problem. And in this episode, I'm walking through why God has never once called a ready person, He calls available ones, and why waiting for the "right" conditions might actually be fear wearing a responsible outfit. We look at Moses, who gave God every logical reason he was the wrong man for the job (Exodus 4:10-12, NLT), and Joshua, who was commanded to be strong and courageous BEFORE he felt it (Joshua 1:9, NLT). We also sit with the parable of the buried talent (Matthew 25:25-27, NLT), because the "safe" choice to wait isn't always the wise one. I'm giving you 3 signs you're waiting for ready when God is actually asking you to move, and walking you through my AVAILABLE Framework, a simple 4-step plan to take your first obedient step today, even with zero clarity and zero confidence. God is so faithful to meet us exactly where we're standing, even when where we're standing is scared and unsure. He's not asking for readiness. He's asking for availability.   Ready to Make Consistent Income From a Podcast? Join my 5-Day Profitable Podcast Bootcamp!

This sermon explores how belonging is not just a feeling you find, but a devotion you practice by consistently showing up for others. Drawing from the example of the early church in Acts 2, the message challenges the modern habit of "shopping" for community and explains why true connection requires both proximity and time. You will discover why your calendar reveals your true priorities and why living out your faith is ultimately a "team sport".

JJ Hardy gave the Army 18 years of his life, including 35 months in combat. He came home with a 100% disability rating, a PTSD diagnosis, and a transition he describes as "very, very messy." No clear mission. No sense of identity. Just the quiet, disorienting weight of trying to figure out who he was without the uniform. In this episode, JJ opens up about what it actually took to climb out of that place, and how he learned to flip post-traumatic stress into what he calls post-traumatic growth. He and Jon dig into the gap between military leadership and what often passes for leadership in the civilian world, and why JJ walked away from job after job because he refused to abandon the people counting on him, a value straight out of "never leave a fallen comrade." JJ also shares his philosophy of training your mind the same way you'd train for combat: same discipline, same reps, same commitment. Because if you want the fight to go a certain way, you have to train for it, mentally included. This conversation is grounded, practical, and honest about what healing actually requires. JJ now runs Victory Leadership Coaching and hosts the Speak Up, Show Up, Lead podcast, helping other veterans and leaders do the same work he had to do on himself. If you've ever felt like your training prepared you for everything except what came after, this episode is for you.

If you're not referenced, you're invisible.That's how Gorilla 76 founder Joe Sullivan frames AI search, and it's the problem we take on in this episode. Keyword stuffing doesn't work on an LLM. You either answer your buyers' questions well enough to get cited, or you're not in the conversation.This episode is a recording of IMC Live from August 6, 2026. Gorilla 76 Strategist Erik Schlosser joins hosts Allen Fennewald and Chelsey Trevino, plus a room full of industrial marketers asking their own questions.Erik says that most manufacturers respond to AI search backward. They feel behind, so they rush loads of blog posts, and rushed blog posts are worth less than three good ones. What actually earns citations is depth in a niche you own, published consistently, all of it pointing back to the same few things you want to be known for.In this episode, we discuss: • How AI builds trust in a source • Which SEO fundamentals still apply, and which signals are genuinely new • The content cascade: one pillar asset, cut down across channels, one through line • The importance of starting with a strong pillar piece • Heading structure, the inverted pyramid, and why FAQ pages get cited • Freshness, and how to handle it when your product is 70 years old • Thought leadership from a person rather than a company • Where a one-person marketing department should start.We also went through two worked examples: An in-house motor blog, which now outranks their own product pages in AI search, and a construction company's personal stories, which earn credibility with LLMs and get shared by the families of the people in them.IMC Live runs twice a month inside the Industrial Marketing Collective. Next up on August 20: Brad Litwin on using Google retargeting to expand your reach.

Let's be honest… you are not always a high-capacity, hyper-productive, perfectly-regulated queen. Some days you're bleeding, crying, rage-scrolling the news, or riding the high of a big win that somehow still leaves you fried. In this episode, I'm breaking down low capacity vs. high capacity strategy so you can keep your business moving without hustling, self-abandoning, or burning it all down every time life "life's." We'll talk about: What actually belongs in your high capacity strategy (so you're not endlessly wondering if you've done "enough") How to design a low capacity bare-minimum plan you can execute from bed, the bathroom, or an airport Why start-stop patterns quietly destroy your self-trust and your income Simple mindset + pleasure practices that still "count" on your absolute roughest days How to know when to use your low capacity plan vs. when to actually cancel If you've ever thought, "I just don't have the capacity to be consistent," this episode will feel like a giant exhale. You'll walk away with clear, no-drama checklists for both your high and low capacity seasons so you can build a business that works even when you're not at 100%. Press play if you want permission to be human and wildly successful at the same time.

We got the latest reading of jobless claims today. Last week, 199,000 people filed for first-time unemployment claims. Thing is, there were large-scale firings of Haitians and Syrians with Temporary Protected Status, but because they aren't eligible for unemployment insurance, they won't show up in unemployment claims. We'll discuss how these job losses can be tracked and more of this low-hire, low-fire economy we can't seem to shake.
