The Wellness Pentagon™: Josh's signature framework for nourishing the five sides of self: mental, physical, emotional, spiritual, and financial, to break free from self-sabotage. Bryan and Josh also explore real-world practices for transforming deep-seated resentments, repairing relationships with nonviolent communication, and embracing the paradox of being both human and divine.

The Simple Sophisticate - Intelligent Living Paired with Signature Style
"Food need not be extravagant, complicated, or mysterious to be good. Quite the contrary." —Patricia Wells in her Introduction to Robert Olney's Simple French Food cookbook Whether you love cooking, loathe cooking or fall anywhere in between, we all need to eat. And if we eat well - a marriage of nutritive and delicious - we give ourself a very good shot at living a long and wonderful life. But we aren't born knowing how to cook. We have to choose to learn it, and depending upon our experience with food and the approach others took in how meals came together, we may have a whole host of beliefs about what constitutes good food, how to make it or why or why not we want to learn how to cook due to cultural expectations and pressures. Similar to living a life of contentment, we cannot just go pull the skills of cooking off the shelf, but instead, we do have to invest some time, effort and initially some money (for the tools), but the money need not be much, and the time need not be terribly lengthy if we have the right teachers and ingredients. Enter the French approach to cooking. The French have long been known for their prowess in the kitchen and with good reason. Auguste Escoffier began cooking at age 13 (1846-1935), and is known for both popularizing and modernizing traditional French cooking methods. You may recognize his name as it is often associated with The Ritz or with the five mother sauces. Rest assured, you do not need to know how to make these traditional French sauces to utilize the skills of the French approach to cooking. You may choose to learn all of them as you begin to find more enjoyment and reward with the basics that will be introduced to you today and further taught in TSLL's Introduction to French Cooking course for everyday deliciousness, but don't be intimated by the fanciness that often is paired with French food. Yes, it is fancy and beautiful and thoughtfully presented, but it is the creation that we are going to talk about today, and for everyday life, that is all you need to know. So let's get started! ~Explore the detailed Show Notes on The Simply Luxurious Llife blog - https://thesimplyluxuriouslife.com/podcast406

In part two of their conversation, Mark and Anton continue their wide-ranging conversation on personal and professional growth. They discuss raising capital, private equity, real estate trends, and the power of simplicity in business. The episode touches on mental health, the influence of tech leaders, political and economic shifts, and the role of authenticity, mentorship, and self-awareness in building a meaningful life. Takeaways Mitigate downsides when pursuing personal growth. Innovative learning can be achieved through seminar formats. Wealth creation is often overlooked in traditional education. Private equity can be misunderstood; it's about individual investment. Investment strategies should focus on simplicity and clarity. Raising capital requires a compelling narrative and confidence. Self-awareness is crucial for personal and professional development. Mentorship plays a vital role in learning and growth. Adult ADD can manifest without hyperactivity. Raising capital requires a strong team and strategy. Selling is about trust and collaboration, not just transactions. Protecting downside risk is crucial for investors. Creating value in real estate involves vision and insight. Visionary thinking is a key superpower for investors. Social media has a profound impact on society's dynamics. Technology is evolving faster than regulations can keep up. Political views can blend capitalism with social responsibility. Education plays a crucial role in shaping employment opportunities. The future of employment is tied to economic growth and manufacturing. Self-awareness is key to personal growth and happiness. Positivity can have a ripple effect on the community. The economy is poised for meaningful change in the coming years. Real estate trends are shifting towards retail and lifestyle centers. The impact of social media on society is a significant concern. Change is often perceived as chaotic, but it's a necessary part of growth. Education's value is subjective and varies for each individual. Therapy provides a unique space for individuals to process their thoughts and emotions without judgment. Breaking the stigma around mental health is crucial for societal acceptance. Authenticity and acceptance are vital for personal and communal growth. Life is inherently challenging, and we should strive to make it easier for ourselves and others. Self-awareness and mental fitness are as important as physical health. Finding balance in life is essential for overall well-being.

This episode of Amazing Business Radio with Shep Hyken answers the following questions and more: How can a brand turn customer service interactions into opportunities for brand loyalty? What are the benefits of proactive customer service? How does smart technology enhance the overall customer experience? What role does customer feedback play in improving the overall service experience? How can artificial intelligence enhance the role of customer service agents? Top Takeaways: Every customer interaction is an opportunity to turn someone into a loyal fan, even a promoter of your brand. Customer service shouldn't just be about fixing problems. It should also be about preventing them. Customer care doesn't always have to be reactive. By using technology to anticipate problems, brands can identify and resolve issues even before customers becomes aware of them. For example, Samsung's smart appliances can alert you to issues like a fridge getting too warm and even schedule a repair before your food goes bad. Loyalty can be built through customer service, even when it comes after a problem or a negative experience. When customers have a great experience getting help, and their problems are solved quickly, they are more likely to buy again and recommend the brand to friends and family. Mark also shares his three core principles: Speed, Simplicity, and Service. Speed: Reduce the time it takes to fix a customer's issue. The sooner you solve the problem, the happier and more loyal your customers become. (In the U.S. Samsung's repair network now covers 99% of the U.S. for consumer electronics, and 81% of Americans are within just a 30-minute drive of same-day mobile service.) Simplicity: Remove confusing policies, eliminate unnecessary steps, and actively listen to employees and customers for ideas on how to simplify processes. Service: When you design experiences that put customers first, understand their needs, and effectively solve their issues, you will attract lifelong customers who will continue to buy from you because they know they can trust you, even when something goes wrong. Create easy ways for employees to share their thoughts and observations on what could be done better. Frontline workers know firsthand which policies and processes work and which ones frustrate customers. AI works best as a tool that helps people, not as a replacement for them. It empowers staff to focus on understanding customers and resolving their issues, while AI provides instant and relevant information that accelerates the process and enhances accuracy. Customer service is an income-generating department. Reliable products are important, but it's the extra mile in service that makes people choose to do business with a brand again and again. Plus, Mark shares why more than half of Samsung's customer care team in the U.S. has been with the company for over 10 years. Tune in! Quote: "Get to customers quicker and solve their problems before they even know they have a problem." About: Mark Williams is the Head of Customer Care at Samsung Electronics America. His work centers on proactive solutions that help customer service teams address issues quickly and efficiently.

Vision is common. The discipline to execute is rare. Do you have it? In today's Episode, hosts Clark Lunt and David Shaw sit down with Shaye Wali, a former tennis champion turned entrepreneur. Shaye details his extraordinary transition from the world of professional sports to the fast-paced sectors of private lending and software development. As the founder and CEO of Baseline, a revolutionary software platform, he shares the pivotal moments and challenges that shaped his career, offering valuable insights for aspiring entrepreneurs. Shaye's story is one of focus and resilience. He recounts the immense dedication required to rebuild the tennis program at Tulane University, a testament to his early leadership and determination and desire to travel the road less paved. This experience, he explains, laid the groundwork for his future endeavors. Following his passion for finance, he began his career at Morgan Stanley, where he gained a deep understanding of capital markets and real estate investments. However, the entrepreneurial spirit beckoned. Shaye identified a significant gap in the private lending market, an industry often bogged down by inefficiencies and outdated processes. This realization was the catalyst for his move into entrepreneurship. He emphasizes that the ability to adapt to the ever-changing landscape of real estate and private lending was crucial to his success. This journey culminated in the creation of Baseline, a cutting-edge software designed to streamline the entire private lending process. "We built Baseline to empower lenders," Wali states. "Our goal is to provide a seamless, efficient platform that allows them to manage their operations, from loan origination to servicing, with greater ease and accuracy." The software aims to enhance efficiency, improve data management, and ultimately help private lenders scale their businesses. Shaye's narrative serves as a powerful example of how skills honed in one discipline can be successfully transferred to another. His journey from the tennis court to the boardroom highlights the universal importance of focus, the courage to pivot, and the drive to innovate. For those in the real estate and private lending industries, Shaye Wali's story is not just inspiring; it's a roadmap for navigating the complexities of the modern financial world.Connect with Shaye Wali: https://www.linkedin.com/in/shayewali/ or https://www.baselinesoftware.com/TakeawaysShaye's journey from tennis to tech showcases resilience.Corporate experience at Morgan Stanley shaped the entrepreneurial mindset.The importance of focus in achieving success.Transitioning from employee to entrepreneur requires courage.Private lending offers scalability and flexibility.The evolution of private lending is driven by technology.Chapters00:00 Introduction to Shaye Wali and His Journey03:27 From Pakistan to Florida: The Early Years05:28 Tennis and the Path to College06:58 Building a Tennis Program at Tulane09:46 Transitioning to Morgan Stanley12:00 The Realization of Entrepreneurial Spirit14:38 The Shift to Real Estate17:20 Navigating the Real Estate Market19:48 The Move to Private Lending22:19 Burning the Boats: Taking the Leap24:36 The Evolution into Private Lending30:11 The Journey into Private Lending35:19 Scaling the Private Lending Business40:10 Transitioning to Software Solutions46:11 The Future of Private Lending and Software49:56 Rapid Fire Insights and Final Thoughts58:30 Introduction and Call to Action59:01 Introduction to Burn Your Boats Wealth Podcast59:30 Engagement and Community Building Hosted on Acast.

Episode 098: This week, Kyle Van Pelt talks with Carrie King, Partner and Chief Compliance Officer at UlImann Wealth Partners. A former restaurateur turned finance professional, Carrie brings a service-driven mindset to wealth management—prioritizing simplicity, optimism, and disciplined planning. With over two decades of experience spanning hedge funds, trading desks, and advisory firms, she now helps lead a holistic, client-centered practice that supports families through life's most complex transitions. Kyle and Carrie discuss how Ullman supports clients through these transitions by staying grounded in simplicity, optimism, and practical discipline. Carrie also discusses the firm's core values, how they integrate books into company culture, and the evolving role of compliance in an AI-driven world. In this episode: (00:00) - Intro (02:59) - Carrie's money moment (05:37) - The importance of core values in company culture (09:08) - Reframing compliance through optimism and simplicity (11:02) - Ullmann Wealth Partners' Divorce Advisory Group (12:54) - Building relationships with Centers of Influence (COI) (17:42) - Making complex projects simple (19:30) - What makes a great CRM (23:13) - Ullmann's tech stack (25:53) - Why texting is such a taboo for regulators (28:04) - Carrie's outlook on the future of the industry (30:46) - Carrie's Milemarker Minute Key Takeaways Building your firm around core principles like discipline, simplicity, optimism, and professional advice isn't just good branding—it creates a shared language that guides decision-making, shapes culture, and helps clients stay focused during uncertainty. Compliance isn't just about rules—it's about protecting clients and building trust. A proactive, optimistic approach to compliance can strengthen your firm's culture and help you deliver better service across the board. Before adopting new tools like CRMs or AI platforms, prioritize peer insights over sales pitches. Talk to other firms, ask about pitfalls, and be methodical in your rollout—technology should support your process, not disrupt it. When building relationships with centers of influence (COIs), don't just tell them what you do—show them. Invite them into your client meetings, let them experience your planning firsthand, and trust that authenticity will speak louder than any pitch. Quotes "This business is working with people day in and day out. And when you see that in practice, there's nothing more fulfilling than that." ~ Carrie King "You don't need to do crazy investment strategies, trading options, or all these other things. The most important thing for people is coming up with a financial plan and helping them stick to it, especially in times of turbulence when there are unexpected consequences." ~ Carrie King "The ultimate end goal of compliance is to protect the client—protect them from scams, and protect them from fraud." ~ Carrie King Links Carrie King on LinkedIn Ullmann Wealth Partners Brian James Glenn Ullmann Landing a Smooth Retirement Move Forward Confidently Patrick Kilbane Caitlin Frederick Getting Things Done Factfulness Jump AI MyRepChat Merrill Lynch Raymond James Wells Fargo Mercer Advisors Creative Planning Hightower Advisors Unreasonable Hospitality An Unfinished Love Story Connect with our hosts Milemarker.co Kyle on LinkedIn Jud on LinkedIn Subscribe and stay in touch Apple Podcasts Spotify YouTube Produce game-changing content with Turncast Turncast helps your company grow by producing top-quality content and fostering transformative conversations.

"We're not just enabling secure outcomes — we're simplifying how partners deliver them." — Brian Feeney, VP of Global Partner Security Sales, Cisco At Cisco Live 2025 in San Diego, Technology Reseller News publisher Doug Green sat down with Brian Feeney, Vice President of Global Partner Security Sales at Cisco, to explore how the company is aligning security innovation with real-world partner needs in an era dominated by AI and complexity. Feeney, whose two-year-old role was created to consolidate and scale Cisco's global partner strategy for security, leads a team of over 260 professionals dedicated to helping Cisco's VARs, MSPs, MSSPs, cloud providers, and global partners navigate a rapidly evolving cybersecurity landscape. Cisco's Three-Pillar Security Strategy: Hybrid Mesh Firewall Universal ZTNA (Zero Trust Network Access) The SOC of the Future (with Splunk Integration) All three areas are now AI-infused by design, not bolted on — a shift exemplified by Cisco's autonomous firewall assistant, which reduces human effort while improving policy execution. Key Cisco Live Announcements: Free Splunk ingestion for Cisco firewall customers, addressing cost concerns and earning applause during the keynote. Streamlined portfolio: Cisco has consolidated 30+ point products into 3 strategic solution sets — user, breach, and cloud — dramatically simplifying the sales and adoption process for partners. Enhanced partner support tools like a “concierge deal registration desk” — offering one-click access to technical, sales, and promotional resources. “This isn't about selling more SKUs,” Feeney said. “It's about helping partners win with less complexity, more margin, and stronger customer outcomes.” Feeney emphasized Cisco's commitment to AI enablement, noting that while only 4% of enterprises are “AI-ready,” partner demand for both securing AI infrastructure and leveraging AI for defense is surging. Cisco is delivering: Expert-led deep dives for top AI-focused partners Scalable enablement through Talos threat intel, learning platforms, and continuous updates AI integrated throughout the security stack — from SOC automation to endpoint visibility The interview concluded with Feeney highlighting Cisco's investment in making security more accessible, operationally efficient, and partner-friendly, even for small or emerging partners. “We want to be the voice and the resource our security partners trust — not just with technology, but with outcomes.” To learn more, visit cisco.com/security.

Series: The Table 2.0 Speaker: Pastor Daron Earlewine SERIES OVERVIEW In this sermon series, "The Table," we journey through Acts, uncovering powerful stories where God used meals to reach outsiders, build community, and reveal His inclusive heart. From the radical hospitality of believers in Acts 2, to Peter's groundbreaking meal with Cornelius in Acts 10, and the miraculous fellowship around the Philippian jailer's table in Acts 16, we'll discover that the table is more than just a place to eat—it's a place where God's kingdom comes alive. Join us as we explore how our tables can become sacred spaces where barriers crumble, relationships deepen, and the good news of Jesus spreads powerfully. Together, we'll learn how simple acts of hospitality can become profound expressions of the gospel, transforming communities one meal at a time.

#82: [Inside the Mind] Steven Yellin: Get Out of Swing Prison and Stop Violating the Rule Bank for an Effective, Repeatable Swing In this powerful and enlightening episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I'm joined by Steven Yellin, creator of the Fluid Motion Factor and one of the leading voices in understanding the neuroscience of performance in golf. Together, we dive deep into the mind-body connection, the neurophysiological conditions required for a fluid golf swing, and why most golfers unknowingly sabotage their own performance—especially when it matters most. In today's episode, you'll learn: Why your prefrontal cortex (the CEO of your brain) needs to go offline during the swing What it really means to have a quiet mind before pulling the trigger How to check your “threshold of wholeness” with a simple shoulder test The truth about consistency and how to stop recreating what you already own What the “rules of the bank” are—and how violating them leads to inconsistent performance How to train like a pro by focusing on quality of space, not quantity of reps How the depth of your thoughts determines access to the body's deepest intelligence Whether you're an elite amateur or a weekend warrior, this episode will radically reshape how you think about practice, performance, and pressure. Steven's insights are a masterclass in mastering the mind-body connection and unlocking the swing you already have—on command. Get your pencils ready and start listening. P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here. More About Steven Steve Yellin is a renowned golf instructor, author, and the creator of the Fluid Motion Factor, a revolutionary approach to optimizing performance in golf and other sports. With a background in both competitive golf and deep studies into the mechanics of peak performance, Yellin's work bridges the gap between technical training and the ability to access one's best swing under pressure. His Fluid Motion Factor system has helped elite golfers, including PGA and LPGA Tour players, unlock their natural ability by eliminating interference in their mind-body connection. Instead of relying on mechanical swing thoughts, Yellin teaches golfers how to tap into a fluid state of motion, leading to greater consistency and confidence on the course.

Instagram: @thegolfhypnotherapist Twitter: @parsoverbogeys Key Takeaways: The quality of the space before the swing determines the quality of the swing. You're not broken—you're just violating the rules of the bank. Wholeness is a threshold state of mind where motion flows without interference. You don't need new swing thoughts—you need a new relationship with the ones you already have. Practicing the swing isn't as powerful as practicing access to your best swings. Key Quotes: You're not recreating the swing—you're trying to access what you already own. When the prefrontal cortex goes offline, the swing goes online. Do less. The most powerful message I can give any golfer. It's not what you're thinking. It's how you're thinking it. Fear is the killer in a golf swing.

In this episode, we dive into how complexity creeps into our systems—whether in software, organizations, or personal leadership. We start by looking at the evolution of Microsoft Word as a case study of feature creep and unintended consequences, asking why more options can end up stifling creativity.We're joined by Robert Siegel, Stanford lecturer and author of The Systems Leader, who unpacks why today is a uniquely chaotic time for leaders. He explores the cross-pressures leaders face—from balancing execution with innovation, to combining strength with empathy—and what it takes to thrive in turbulent environments.Later, we revisit a powerful 2017 conversation with Seth Godin, bestselling author and entrepreneur. Seth reframes uncertainty as an inherent feature of modern systems, not a personal failure. He shares his perspective on adapting to continual change, why embracing smaller markets and iterative progress makes us more resilient, and how redefining success helps us stay in the game.Whether you're leading a team, navigating constant change, or just trying to keep your work meaningful, this episode will give you fresh strategies for thinking and acting systemically.Five Key Learnings:Complexity Creep Is Real: As with Microsoft Word, adding features to solve edge cases often leads to more user frustration and less creative freedom. Simplicity can be a competitive advantage.Systems Leadership Is Essential: Leaders must operate with a systems mindset, recognizing the interconnectedness inside and outside their organizations rather than staying siloed.Balancing Dualities: Success today means navigating cross-pressures, such as execution vs. innovation and strength vs. empathy—not just picking one.Embrace Uncertainty: Uncertainty isn't going away; learning to see it as a product of changing systems makes it less personal and more navigable.Iterate and Focus Small: Applying your creative efforts to the smallest viable audience allows for better learning, less risk, and greater long-term impact.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Send us a textThe age-old debate of plant-based versus omnivorous diets takes center stage in this riveting conversation between host Anthony Amen and guest Tyler, creator of the "Full Vegan Belly" program. What begins as a friendly discussion quickly evolves into a fascinating exploration of nutritional science, evolutionary biology, and the psychology behind sustainable dietary habits.Tyler shares his unexpected journey from frustrated meat-eater to vegan advocate after experiencing remarkable changes just days into his plant-based experiment. His program promises 97% complete nutrition through carefully selected whole foods condensed into a simple, accessible meal plan requiring minimal cooking skills. The comprehensive approach focuses on nutrient density rather than restriction, offering a refreshing departure from more complicated vegan regimens.Anthony brings critical counterpoints to the conversation, challenging veganism's nutritional completeness by highlighting vitamin B12 deficiency concerns and the complexity of obtaining complete proteins from plant sources. His provocative "survival guide diet" perspective – explaining why 90% of plants are potentially dangerous while 90% of animals are safe to eat – adds a compelling evolutionary dimension that even has Tyler reconsidering certain assumptions.What emerges isn't a clear "winner" in the dietary debate, but rather a thoughtful exploration of balance. Both agree that processed foods (including many commercial vegan products) undermine health regardless of dietary philosophy. They find common ground in advocating for whole foods, simple preparation methods, and the 80-20 approach to sustainability – being disciplined most of the time while allowing flexibility to enjoy life.Whether you're a committed omnivore, curious about plant-based eating, or somewhere in between, this episode delivers valuable insights without dogma. You'll walk away with practical nutrition knowledge, a deeper understanding of different dietary perspectives, and perhaps most importantly, permission to find your own balanced path to better health without the pressure of perfection.Ready to challenge your assumptions about diet and nutrition? Listen now and discover how small, consistent changes might be more powerful than radical transformations in your journey toward optimal health.Support the showLearn More at: www.Redefine-Fitness.com
