LinkedIn's rising IT-service-management voice Paul Brandvold joins HappySignals host Sakari Kyrö to unpack why plain-language storytelling, real-world leadership, and a healthy dose of common sense are reshaping how internal IT support shows value. From the hidden pressures driving talent away to the grassroots expertise you'll need when rolling out AI, Paul shares practical lessons every CIO, IT director, and service-desk lead can act on today.Key Take-awaysStorytelling cuts through ITSM jargon. Simple analogies turn “boring” concepts into messages people remember.Common sense beats framework dogma. Follow ITIL where it helps, but bend the rules when reality demands it. Heroes are curious, service-minded “yes people.” They learn fast, step outside comfort zones, and keep teams resilient. Listen to the grassroots on AI. Front-line agents understand user pain far better than top-down strategy decks. Business stakeholders must see ITSM as a partner. Empathy and appreciation turn “thankless” support into joint value creation. Relentless upskilling is non-negotiable. Automation will claim repetitive tasks, but opens new roles for people who adapt.Resources & Links mentionedPaul Brandvold on LinkedIn – follow his daily ITSM insights ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/paulbrandvold⁠ITIL® Home – official site for the IT service-management framework Paul references ⁠https://www.axelos.com/best-practice-solutions/itil⁠Subscribe to our newsletter:LinkedIn: ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/newsletters/it-experience-insights-6996053129205026816/⁠Email: ⁠https://happysignals.com/itxm-insights

In this episode of the Truth From The Stand podcast, I sit down with Jason Batson for a no-BS conversation about bowhunting, deer behavior, and the constant process of figuring it all out. Jason shares what it's like chasing whitetails in the rolling terrain of Missouri, how he plays the wind, and why keeping things simple usually gets him closer to deer. We get into the highs and lows of past seasons—including the ones where things didn't go as planned—and talk about adapting after injuries, trusting your gut, and learning from every sit. Whether it's finding fresh sign, hunting scrapes, or just appreciating time in the timber, Jason brings a grounded, thoughtful approach to hunting that's all about doing the work and enjoying the ride. WHAT TO EXPECT FROM PODCAST 450 Wind and deer behavior matter more than scent control. Time in the woods and good gear—especially boots—go a long way. Mentorship and trial-and-error shape better hunters. Focus on bedding, scrapes, and habitat edges. Public land calls for adaptable, confident strategy. Enjoy the process—meat or antlers, it's all part of the reward.

I had a great conversation with Sam Primm from FasterFreedom, a guy who's absolutely crushing it with rentals right now. He's sitting on $51 million in real estate, all built through smart leverage and creative strategies like BRRRR, but with a twist. Sam walks through exactly how he's still making deals work today, even with rising interest rates and tighter margins.If you've ever thought you can't cash flow with rentals anymore or that BRRRR is dead, this episode will prove otherwise. Sam's strategy hinges on creative financing, in-house property management, and a key tweak that could boost your cash flow by $2,400 per property annually. We're talking about midterm rentals, DSCR loans, and ditching the myth that you need to hand everything off to a property manager.We also dig into the mindset and community needed to actually start investing. Sam's emphasis on building relationships, networking with local agents, and tracking your numbers like a business owner is exactly the kind of guidance most new investors miss. This is one of those episodes that will shift how you think about buy and hold investing.What's Inside:—Why midterm rentals could double your rental income in the right market—How DSCR loans help investors save on monthly debt payments—Simple tech and systems that make self-managing rentals realistic and profitable—Why BRRRR still works if you run the numbers right and adjust your buy box

“You don't sabotage because you're afraid to fail. You sabotage because you're afraid of how powerful you truly are.” Have you ever noticed how things finally start going well — you're in a loving relationship, making more money, feeling happier — and out of nowhere… you pull back? You overthink. You pick a fight. You overspend. You sabotage. But here's the truth: Self-sabotage is not failure — it's protection. It's not that you're broken. It's that a part of you is trying to keep you safe, even if that means holding you back from everything you've prayed for. In this soul-stirring episode, we're going deep into the real reasons why we sabotage the good in our lives — the subconscious fears, the childhood survival strategies, the nervous system that equates success with danger. It's time to stop blaming yourself. It's time to hold yourself with compassion. And most of all — to finally allow yourself to receive what you've always deserved. Tune in and learn how to stop sabotaging what you truly deserve.          Timestamps (00:02:20) – The Pattern of Self-Sabotage Why we often push away love, success, and abundance just as they begin to flow into our lives. (00:03:55) – The Hidden Roots of Sabotage Self-sabotage isn't failure — it's a subconscious survival strategy. You're not broken. You're protecting yourself. (00:06:10) – Why You Reject What You Want The subconscious mind doesn't follow your desires — it follows familiarity and emotional safety. (00:07:35) – When Success Feels Unsafe How childhood associations with love, money, or praise shape the way you receive (or reject) good things. (00:09:15) – You Can't Override Your Nervous System with a Vision Board Why affirmations and mindset shifts aren't enough without nervous system healing. (00:10:20) – Compassion is the Key to Transformation Don't shame the pattern. Name it. Ask yourself: what part of me is trying to protect me right now? (00:11:20) – The “Upper Limit” Phenomenon How feeling “too good” can trigger unconscious sabotage — and what to do when that urge hits. (00:12:15) – Make Your Body Feel Safe with Goodness Gently teach your nervous system that it's safe to receive, expand, and feel joy. (00:13:15) – Transformation Happens in Small Steps Why small daily actions create deep and lasting change without overwhelming your system. (00:14:10) – Rehearsing Receiving Use imagination and emotion to normalize success, love, and abundance in your body. (00:15:00) – Track and Celebrate Your Growth Acknowledge each moment you respond differently. This builds self-trust and integration. (00:15:55) – You're Not Afraid of Failure — You're Afraid of Your Power We sabotage not because we're weak, but because struggle feels safer than the unknown. (00:16:50) – Your Soul Thrives in the Unknown True healing is remembering: you are already love, already worthy, already enough. (00:17:50) – Final Reflection and Invitation Some Questions I Ask: Why do I sabotage myself when things start going well? Why do I pull away just when I'm finally being loved the way I always wanted? Why, when I start earning more money, do I do something that ruins my finances? Why do I reject what I say I want? If love is present… why do I feel unsafe? What makes success or stability feel like a threat? What part of me is trying to protect me right now? Am I truly in danger… or am I just unfamiliar with feeling this good? In This Episode, You Will Learn  How to recognize the hidden patterns of self-sabotage.  Why your sabotage isn't a weakness — but a form of self-protection. The connection between your nervous system and your capacity to receive love, success, and abundance. How past experiences shaped what feels “safe” — even when it hurts. Why your subconscious doesn't follow your desires, but your emotional history. How to stop judging yourself and start healing with compassion. Simple daily practices to gently rewire your inner response to good things. How to feel safe in love, in wealth, and in your own power.

Tired of chasing "skinny" and feeling weaker than ever? It's time to chase strength instead. In this empowering episode of Menopause Mastery, Dr. Betty Murray sits down with Anne-Marie Chaker, former Wall Street Journal journalist turned strength training advocate and author of "Lift: How Women Can Reclaim Their Physical Power and Transform Their Lives." Anne-Marie's transformation story will blow your mind—from struggling with postpartum depression, grief, and a crumbling marriage to discovering the life-changing power of lifting heavy weights. But this isn't just about fitness; it's about reclaiming your power as a woman in a world that's been telling you to be "less" your entire life. Discover why our ancestors were built like elite rowers, how the "skinny obsession" is actually a modern patriarchal construct designed to keep women small and controllable, and why strength training is literally survival for women over 40. Plus, Anne-Marie reveals the shocking historical evidence that women have always been warriors—not delicate flowers picking berries. Dr. Betty and Anne-Marie dive deep into the bone-building benefits of strength training (crucial for preventing osteoporosis), the right way to fuel your workouts, and why that "high reps, low weight" advice is keeping you weak. They also tackle the persistent myth that women will "bulk up" and share practical tips for getting started—even with soup cans! What You'll Learn: Why chasing "skinny" is sabotaging your health and happiness The fascinating anthropological evidence that women were built to be strong How strength training transforms your confidence, not just your body The protein requirements for women over 40 (hint: it's way more than you think) Why resistance training is your best defense against bone loss Simple ways to start strength training at home or in the gym If you're ready to stop shrinking yourself and start building the strong, powerful woman you were meant to be, this episode is your wake-up call.

The other day, I was devouring a bacon, egg, and cheese croissant sandwich with a friend (yes, it was as delicious as it sounds) when our convo shifted from breakfast to bilingual babies to life transitions. That's how we do. She's pregnant with her third and was wondering when to teach her kids Portuguese. I told her the answer in one word: Now. Because you don't wait for the perfect time. You get ready now. That chat turned into a deeper reflection on those seasons when nothing seems to be happening—but you know something is around the corner. You may not know what or when, but there's something in your spirit whispering, “Get ready.” And I've lived that. Years before I made a major move to a new city, I started preparing. Not because I had all the details, but because I had a desire. I decluttered my life—physically, mentally, emotionally—so that when the moment came, I could move light, free, and fully ready. That's what this episode is about: Positioning yourself to meet opportunity—not with overwhelm—but with open arms.

Tired of donation piles taking over your home? Are you guilty of stuff shifting? For years I would declutter, but then as the things would sit in a pile in the corner of the room or in our garage, they would often migrate back into our home. This created a vicious cycle of decluttering, second guessing, and re-cluttering. The problem was that sometimes getting the clutter out and to the donation center was more work than the act of decluttering. Then, I stumbled upon a simple low-effort, but high-impact way to get the clutter out without having to make multiple trips to the donation center or post each item for sale (or gift) online. I recently used this advice in my life again and not only was ie easy and successful, it brought our neighborhood together. If you've ever had donation piles that just move from one room to another, this one's for you. You'll learn: Why donation piles often stay stuck for months (or years!)

In this episode, you'll learn: How silliness acts as a spiritual practice. Why laughter and childlike play can retrain the brain and reduce stress.

Welcome back, friends! We're smack dab in the middle of the slow, sticky, sunshine-soaked days of July—and if you're anything like me, that summer pace has you craving ease, fun, and a little bit of rhythm in the chaos. So this week, I'm bringing you a list I've been quietly keeping all season long: 10 simple summer saving graces. These aren't life-changing hacks or massive overhauls. They're the small, often-overlooked tweaks—the little joys, household helpers, and daily rhythms that are quietly holding things together and making life feel just a bit brighter. From a new household rule that eliminated dishwasher drama to the frozen Pad Thai lunch I can't stop eating, this list is full of the good stuff. Whether you try one, two, or all ten, I hope this episode inspires you to notice and name the saving graces in your own life. Because when we recognize what's working, we're more likely to keep doing it—and maybe even enjoy the ride a little more. Let's keep life simple, purposeful, and joy-filled—even in the middle of summer chaos. ☀️ Mentioned in This Episode:

Highly sensitive people and empaths often feel like they're drowning in grief while others seem to handle loss with ease. They absorb emotions from everyone around them, feel overwhelmed by everyday environments, and find themselves reaching for things they know aren't good for them just to numb the pain. But what if that sensitivity is actually a person's greatest strength? In this episode, Dr. Aimie reveals why highly sensitive people experience grief so differently and how understanding your nervous system's unique needs can transform your relationship with both sensitivity and loss. She shares her own vulnerable story of self-sabotage after her best day ever, showing how even those who understand trauma can still get hijacked by grief. You'll find out about why being an empath isn't about becoming less sensitive, but learning to support your sensitive system so you can hold pain without being overwhelmed by it. Dr. Aimie explains how your sensitivities can either drain your energy or become your superpowers, and why energy management is actually the key to living your life's purpose. You'll hear more on:  How to tell if you're a highly sensitive person Why empaths feel grief more deeply and get overwhelmed faster than others Simple ways to support your nervous system How to tell which sensitivities drain your energy and which ones are your strengths Why highly sensitive people numb emotional pain in self-sabotaging ways What to do when grief takes over and you feel out of control emotionally The biggest challenge for highly sensitive people and how to handle it Easy ways to support your nervous system before you get overwhelmed Whether you're someone navigating grief yourself or a practitioner supporting sensitive clients, this episode offers practical insights to help you understand and support sensitive systems through the grieving process, transforming sensitivity into a strength.   Resources/Guides: Biology of Trauma book - how the body experiences and holds fear, pain and overwhelm, and how to heal.

When everyone's racing to launch big strategies, success takes more than smart tactics. It takes alignment, discipline, and deep cross-functional trust.That's how the heroes in Spidey and His Amazing Friends, the hit animated Marvel kids' show, defeat the villains. In this episode, we unpack marketing lessons from Spidey's universe with the help of our special guest Emily Ferdinando, CMO at Bugcrowd.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from nailing ABM execution, building content grounded in community feedback, and turning shared goals into real, coordinated action.About our guest, Emily FerdinandoEmily Ferdinando is a go-to-market leader with a focus on pipeline and revenue growth. She brings 15 years of GTM leadership experience, specializing in optimizing operational processes and data-driven strategy. With a background in sales and operations, Emily brings a unique approach to Marketing focused on down-funnel impact and top-line growth. Emily joins Bugcrowd from Veracode where she most recently led the Growth Marketing organization. Her background includes leadership roles across the GTM engine, including Global Business Development, GTM Enablement, and Operational Strategy. While there, she led the team through multiple events and two successful exits. Emily lives in New Hampshire with her husband and two young children. She enjoys the outdoors and stretching her creative muscles through painting, fiction writing and guitar.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Spidey and His Amazing Friends:Alignment over silos. In one episode, Spidey, Ghosty, and Miles all chase Rhino with their own plans, each using their powers, none working together. The mission falls apart. “We can say we have the same goal all day, but if we're not aligned on how we get there… that's what it's gonna look like,” Emily says. In marketing and in superhero teams, the difference between success and disaster isn't talent, it's coordination.One-size-fits-all content fits no one. Spidey's world works because it's made for everyone. Each with different powers, personalities, backgrounds, and their own story. That same inclusive mindset should guide your content. “Many people did not fit squarely into one piece,” Emily says. “If we ran our strategy that way, they were missing exposure to a lot of content that was really relevant to them.” Real impact comes from serving the overlaps, not the edges.Simple stories stick. Spidey and His Amazing Friends makes complex ideas—like teamwork, trust, and problem-solving—land through bright colors and clear stakes. For marketers, that's the goal too. “Making internal assumptions without pressure testing with the people who are going to be receiving the output of your team, it's a huge miss,” Emily says. Whether you're leading kids or customers, never assume they're on board. Ask, listen, and build with them.Quote“Spidey and His Amazing Friends, they really teach you what actual in practice, collaboration is supposed to look like and not look like. And it's really as simple as…you step back. We all know what we're supposed to do. It's just really hard in practice sometimes, and sometimes you can learn from the kids' shows. You just step back and go, we know what to do, we just need to do it.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Emily Ferdinando, CMO at Bugcrowd[01:00] Why Spidey and His Amazing Friends?[02:20] The Role of a CMO at Bugcrowd[03:00] Origins of Spidey and His Amazing Friends[19:38] B2B Marketing Takeaways from Spidey and His Amazing Friends[29:21] Bugcrowd's ABM Launch[33:30] Repackaging Content for Better Engagement[40:13] Bugcrowd's Content Strategy and Community Engagement[47:20] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Emily on LinkedInLearn more about BugcrowdAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.

If you're new to knitting (or just overwhelmed by all the tools out there), this one is for you. We're cutting through the clutter and getting back to basics.

This episode features an interview with Kevin Cochrane, an experienced CMO who is currently CMO at Vultr, a company on a mission to make high-performance cloud computing easy to use, affordable, and locally accessible.Kevin dives into the art of being discoverable, the monetary value of brand equity and the importance of using all data available to build a real model of your marketing efforts. He also discusses headcount, and how he is thinking about investing in it. Key Takeaways:Avoid focusing too much on tactics to get customer attention, like tweaking the subject line or the format of the email. Focus on the art of being discoverable, on making it easy for customers to find and fall in love with you. Don't be simplistic about data analysis. Simple metrics can you lead you astray, you need to leverage all the data available to you to build a holistic model. Brand equity directly impacts the value of a business, take a company like Nvidia or Apple. Marketers who investing in their brand well, will see the productivity of their demand gen dollars skyrocket. Quote: “ I would not invest heavily in headcount. I have seen too many marketing organizations rapidly scale headcount. And you can have a company that's 200 million in revenue and there'll be 80 people in marketing, right? You can have an organization that's 50 million in revenue and they'll have 40 people in marketing and they'll hire field marketers in this region and that region. They'll build out their whole PR team. They'll build the whole AR team. We operate super, super lean here at Vultr. Number one is we empower everyone with a lot of, you know, AI tools and a lot of ability to make decisions, and they all have access to a massive treasure trove of data in our data warehouse, right? We just drive employee productivity as much as possible. Secondly, we leverage as much as possible external third parties that have specific expertise.”Episode Timestamps: *(06:59) The Trust Tree: Fostering an open ecosystem, the antithesis to a walled garden *(25:22) The Playbook: Brand experience drives demand gen productivity*(43:42) The Dust Up: Tension over events *(46:05) Quick Hits: Kevin's quick hitsSponsor:Pipeline Visionaries is brought to you by Qualified.com.

HI Friends, Elizabeth here. I was so excited to have a chance to chat with Anna Mackay for our latest Sunny Side Up Nutrition Podcast Episode. In this episode, we offer supportive, non-diet guidance for students transitioning to college life or boarding school. Our conversation draws from both personal and clinical experience working with teens about to leave home. Transitioning from home to college (or boarding school) is a major life transition. And navigating food is a big part of that. How can students navigate dining halls, class schedules, and making sure they're meeting their nutritional needs?In our latest podcast episode, I'm joined by Anna Mackay, our 3rd host, to dive into simple, easy meal planning strategies designed specifically for college students on a meal plan. We chat about * How students can maintain regular meals amidst their new lives as college students* Easy snack ideas to keep in their dorm rooms* Simple meals students can cook in a dorm kitchen* How to confidently handle diet culture messages they'll inevitably encounterTune in to get practical advice that supports a realistic and flexible approach to nutrition for students living away from home.TranscriptElizabeth: Hi, Anna. I'm here with Anna Mackay. If you're a longtime listener of ours, you know that Anna was really the person who started the Sunny Side Up Nutrition podcast as part of a project when she was in grad school. She's a certified personal trainer and recently earned her RD degree in Australia. So I'm so excited to have you here, Anna.Elizabeth: We never record together anymore because Anna's been very, very busy and lives truly on the other side of the world from us, so it's hard to coordinate. We're excited that she's back here on the East Coast for a little bit.Anna: Yeah, that 14-hour time difference really complicates podcast scheduling. Today we're talking about teens, kids, and young adults who are moving away from home and might need support navigating nutrition and meal planning. This episode focuses primarily on those using a meal plan—college students and, less commonly, kids at boarding school. I have two kids in boarding school, so this is definitely relevant to me. We'll explore how parents can support kids who rely on a meal plan for most of their meals and snacks.Anna: So, Elizabeth, what do you think are some of the biggest food-related challenges these students face when living away from home for the first time?Elizabeth: It's a major transition, and I think we forget that sometimes. We often assume they'll automatically know how to navigate dining halls. One big challenge is managing their schedules and making sure they eat regularly—it's hard to catch up if they skip meals. Many students are still growing, especially younger teens in boarding school. Another issue is missing familiar foods from home, which makes it hard to find things they like. Scheduling also plays a role—sometimes students need to eat when they aren't hungry just because that's when they have time. And at home, parents typically handle the shopping and cooking, so students may be unprepared for that shift. Thankfully, a dining hall can ease that transition.Elizabeth: Also, sleep often gets disrupted, which impacts eating habits too.Anna: That's a really good point. And the food familiarity is something we might overlook—it's not just about the food itself but the whole environment. Students go from the comfort of eating at home to a bustling dining hall, which can be overwhelming, especially if they're sensitive to noise or smells.Elizabeth: Yes, and if a student has a hard time with that, they can often work with the university to arrange accommodations.Anna: What suggestions do you have for students when it comes to class schedules and planning meals and snacks?Elizabeth: When we talk about meal planning as non-diet dietitians, we mean flexible planning that sets people up for success—not rigid or prescriptive plans aimed at eating less or being "super healthy." I suggest looking at the student's class schedule and identifying times and places they can eat. If there are multiple dining options, figure out which ones they'll use. If they can't get to a dining hall, maybe they bring a sandwich, fruit, and chips. It's also important to think about weekends, when dining hall hours might be different. If the hall doesn't open until noon, early risers need something on hand. Parents can casually ask about this, like, "What's your schedule like? Where do you think you'll eat lunch or dinner?"Elizabeth: I also always remind students to have snacks available for late-night studying. Many are up until midnight or later, and if dinner was at 5:30, that's a long time to go without eating.Anna: That's a great point. What's your advice for students who want to plan meals and snacks without becoming rigid?Elizabeth: Remind them the plan is just a guide—it's meant to reduce decision fatigue, not dictate everything. Having things noted in a phone or calendar can help. But if they don't follow it exactly, that's OK. Plans can and should change.Anna: What staples can they keep in their rooms for quick meals and snacks?Elizabeth: Ask them what they want to keep stocked before they move in. Mac and cheese cups, ramen, snack bars, dry cereal, peanut butter, crackers, nuts, dried fruit, and yogurt are great options. If they have a fridge, even more is possible—cheese, fruit, hummus packs, etc. Just be mindful of any roommate allergies.Anna: Totally. I love those little Sabra hummus packs with pretzels. And classic granola bars—those Nature Valley ones in the green wrapper are great with peanut butter.Elizabeth: Yes! Peanut butter is an easy staple.Anna: What about small meals students can prepare themselves?Elizabeth: Quesadillas with canned beans and pre-cooked chicken, grilled cheese, boxed mac and cheese with frozen peas, toaster waffles, bagels, scrambled eggs, toast with fruit—all simple and doable. With a shared kitchen or microwave, they can also heat up frozen ravioli and toss it with sauce.Anna: Some students might not know how to do that. Should parents help with that ahead of time?Elizabeth: Absolutely. It's helpful if kids leave home knowing how to cook a few basics, but if they don't, that's not a failure. They can call home or look up cooking videos online. My kids still call me with questions, and that's totally normal.Anna: Cooking is a lifelong learning process—there's always something new to learn.Elizabeth: Definitely. That's what makes it so rewarding.Anna: Let's shift to the diet culture messaging students are bombarded with—on TikTok, Instagram, and even in the dining halls where calories are posted. What advice do you have for students and their parents?Elizabeth: Nearly all dining halls post calorie counts now, but I encourage students to ignore them. They're often inaccurate and distract from more important cues like hunger and satisfaction. Focus on what you're hungry for and what feels good in your body.Anna: That applies to diet content on social media too. Just tune it out.Elizabeth: Exactly. And regarding comments about weight gain—it's normal for bodies to change during transitions. Gaining weight is not a moral failing. It doesn't make someone less worthy.Anna: Students may not hear comments directed at them, but diet talk is still common. What should they say or do?Elizabeth: First, it's OK if you don't say anything. You can change the subject, say you'd rather not talk about dieting, or explain your perspective kindly. "We have different views—can we talk about something else?" can be effective. If said non-judgmentally, people are usually more receptive.Anna: My niece is confident, but I imagine she'd be more comfortable changing the subject, and that's perfectly fine. It's a great strategy.Elizabeth: Definitely. It works.Anna: What can students do if they're struggling with food or body image? And what can parents say if they notice something's off?Elizabeth: Point them toward resources—student health centers and counseling centers often have great support. I recommend walking them by those offices during orientation and making sure they know how to schedule appointments. They might roll their eyes, but it ensures they know where to go if needed.Anna: What's one thing you wish every student heading into a dining hall knew?Elizabeth: That sleep and regular meals are foundational. Think ahead about your schedule and plan some easy go-to meals and snacks for when you don't want to think about it. Put those ideas in your notes app or somewhere handy.Anna: It's not about perfect meals—it's about feeding yourself consistently.Elizabeth: Exactly.Anna: Before we go, want to share what foods you're enjoying lately?Elizabeth: Ice cream and pie—especially coconut cream and strawberry rhubarb. We visited a favorite pie shop on vacation recently, and it was amazing.Anna: Americans really do pies well. I'm currently loving pavlova—especially with berries and lemon curd. There are so many creative versions in Australia now, and I haven't had a bad one yet.Elizabeth: Pavlova is so satisfying to make, too. I love it.Anna: I made it once and found it so much work—but maybe I just need better kitchen tools!Elizabeth: A good mixer helps. Definitely one of the first things to invest in.Anna: Thanks so much for this conversation, Elizabeth.Elizabeth: Thank you, Anna.

  “Why did Walt Disney borrow against his life insurance—and what does that have to do with a pink pistol, a serial butt slapper, and a college freshman named Larry?” In this wildly entertaining and insight-packed episode, Kent Hance weaves together stories that span from the moon landing to Mickey Mouse, from late-night TV to freshman orientation at Texas Tech.

When teams are disconnected and leaders feel more like firefighters than visionaries, the cracks start to show fast—people quit, morale tanks, and customers notice. What looks like surface-level chaos usually points to a breakdown in leadership and culture. It's not always about strategy or profits—it's about whether people feel seen, heard, and valued. Fixing that shifts everything. Rainy Martin is a leadership coach specializing in emotional intelligence and workplace culture. With a background as a VP in food manufacturing, she now helps small to mid-sized companies build stronger teams and improve customer experience. Her coaching focuses on practical tools for better communication, employee retention, and leadership development. Today, she shares how understanding emotions at work can reduce conflict and boost engagement. Based in Bozeman, she offers flexible coaching formats tailored to each business's needs. Stay tuned!
