Invented by renowned physical therapist Jay Dicharry, MOBO helps you stabilize your stance with an innovative rocker board that's set up on two fins. The design effectively forces you to drive your big toe into the board to improve your stability. I was pretty arrogant going into my first session on the MOBO Board. How hard can it be to balance, right? Well, I was humbled pretty quickly! Even if you're a good runner, better balance, stability, and proprioception is going to help you have a more powerful stride and prevent more running injuries. You'll learn how to improve the efficiency of the kinetic chain from your hip to your big toe. Because as Jay likes to say, it's not just how strong you are, but how well you use that strength. I was recently at a weekend physical therapy workshop (lol I was the only running coach) and learned how important (and rare) this simple movement is.

Nick Thompson has spent his life chasing big stories and finish lines. The CEO of The Atlantic and author of The Running Ground joins Zoë and Brendan to talk about running through life's hardest moments, from a cancer diagnosis at 30 to balancing elite training with parenthood and a high-powered media career. Together, they explore why running became Nick's anchor through chaos and change, the strange parallels between journalism and endurance sports, and the lessons he learned from his father, and why he runs to not become him. They talk about what aging athletes get wrong about decline, the emotional threshold of a "real" ultra (and the world's shortest one), and how Nick manages to fit sub-three-hour marathons into a 60-hour work week. Along the way, Zoë and Brendan share their own thoughts on parenting as endurance training, finish-line family moments, and why run commuting deserves a comeback. The Running Ground: A Father, a Son, and the Simplest of Sports is out now from Penguin Random House.

Pastor Weston teaches us that the gospel is the simplest equation, and that it needed to be. The work we do is not our own and doesn't contribute to our salvation. Instead, salvation is simply believing and confessing. Proving that Jesus + Nothing = Freedom. - Key Verses // Romans 10:9-13, Luke 23:39-43 - For Sermon Notes, the Connect Card, and our other online resources: https://linktr.ee/Celebrationchurchlive

The Fleetwood review of my newest book: "Medicare for the Lazy Man: BARE BONES" is a dire warning that it was written by (gulp) an INSURANCE AGENT! To quote the review: BEWARE! Returning to format, we began with the Medicare Advantage Minute: BC/BS of Texas announced the cessation of sales commissions for all of their MA plans. In the Your Medicare Benefits 2025 we address the Welcome to Medicare Preventive Visit and learn what is included as well as how Medicare will cover it. Department of Corrections: A previous trivia item about the origin of the Pink Panther had to be corrected. Finally, we dipped into the folder labelled "Correspondence" to enjoy some Q & A about two distinctly different situations. As an aside, both principals are now happy clients of mine, and I am happy to have them!

Today, I want to talk about something I see so many VAs struggle with: marketing. More specifically, why so many VAs feel stuck or frustrated when trying to get great clients, and how the solution often isn't working harder, it's working consistently in small, daily ways. You guys know I tell you this all the time. Small daily actions will help you make progress in any area than booking in huge amounts of time less often. Marketing isn't about the one big launch, the perfect social post, or chasing clients. It's about showing up every single day in ways that attract the clients you want and deserve. And today, I'm going to break down why that's true, what it looks like in practice, and how you can start implementing daily marketing actions without feeling overwhelmed. Consistency beats intensity every time. Showing up regularly, even with tiny actions, is what creates trust, builds relationships, and attracts the clients you want. If you want a step-by-step plan and support to implement this in your business, get in touch with me. I can help you create yours. It's the only reason I'm here at all - to help you become a ridiculously good virtual assistant. Being confident is promoting your services can be a real stretch with all that imposter syndrome and stuff that pops up for us. If it's keeping your stuck where you are, it's probably time to get help. Great clients aren't found in a single post or a viral launch. They're found by showing up consistently, taking small daily actions, and building trust over time. Start today. Pick your actions, commit to them, and watch the momentum build. Your future clients are waiting for you, and daily marketing is the bridge that takes you right to them! I'm here to help you get where you want to go. That's all I've got for you this week. Thanks so much for tuning in. I'll see you next time!
Employee recognition might sound obvious, but why do so many leaders miss it in practice? Dr. Bob Nelson joins Sarah Lockwood to explains why low-cost recognition ideas often matter more than paychecks or perks when it comes to real employee motivation. How do you create loyalty from day one with a new hire? What's the difference between a generic end-of-year award and genuine recognition that lands in the moment? And how can asking employees for their ideas spark both engagement and business growth? Dr. Nelson brings decades of research and real-world examples to these questions, offering workplace culture tips that work whether you're leading a small team or a global workforce. He shows that recognition doesn't have to be expensive, but it does have to feel thoughtful and consistent if you want it to change company culture. This episode reminds us that company culture is built in the small choices leaders make each day to notice, acknowledge, and value the people doing the work.

Boss Girl Creative Podcast | A Podcast for Female Creative Entrepreneurs
Let's talk about the Rule of Five Ones — because this might be the clearest business strategy I've come across in a long time. One problem. One target market. One offer. One platform. One year. That's it. And apparently, it's the method that's helping everyday creators hit their first million — without a massive audience, without a team, and without 18 different offers flying around. I'm sharing how I stumbled into this strategy (thank you, Maria Wendt rabbit hole), why it lit a fire under me, and how I'm reworking both Boss Girl Creative and House of Sugar Creek to align with this approach. I'll walk you through my offer suite, what I'm building next, and how I'm using content to actually fuel this — not just fill up time. If your head's been spinning with too many ideas and not enough traction, this episode is a grounded reset — and a reminder that maybe you don't need a bigger audience… maybe you just need one really clear offer.
