Have you met “Jessica” the virtual speech helper? I certainly remember hearing about it the first time.This concept raised a lot of questions in the clinical community. Are we trying to replace clinicians, and was that the intention behind this application?If you've had these questions too, you won't want to miss this conversation. This episode is the second half of my interview with Maura Connor from BetterSpeech, the company that created an AI “virtual speech helper” to enhance and extend work being done in therapy sessions. In this conversation we talk about:✅ How the “speech helper” was intended (and NOT intended) to be used✅ Discussion on why technology initiatives fail in schools✅ How can technology decrease work for educators (instead of adding more)?Maura Connor is an accomplished executive leader with deep expertise at the intersection of education and healthcare technology. She currently serves as Chief Operating Officer of Better Speech, where she is leading the launch of Streamline, an AI-powered special education management platform that helps districts reduce administrative complexity for providers and teachers, ensure compliance visibility, and strengthen support for students and families.

with Michael O'Neal & Mircea Morariu Winter pickleball isn't just “pickleball but colder.” The ball plays faster and harder, touch shots behave differently, and the injury risk spikes if you warm up like it's July. In this episode, Michael O'Neal and Mircea Morariu break down the practical adjustments that help you stay loose, keep the ball in, and win more points when temperatures drop. Why staying warm directly reduces mistakes and injury risk Hands are everything: glove vs no glove, grip tweaks, and maintaining dexterity Layering that works for movement: base layer (compression or Under Armour style) insulation (fleece) optional shell for wind the underrated puffy vest for pickleball Hats and headbands for heat retention Why your warm-up should be 2–3x longer in cold weather Off-court warmups: bike, jumping jacks, jump rope On-court dynamic warmups: lateral shuffles, staying low Keeping blood flowing between points (the “bounce” habit used by top pros) Why cold weather injuries are more common—especially over age 40 Plastic stiffens → ball feels harder Less dwell time → less spin and control Ball flies faster with less resistance Bounce becomes less predictable Expect balls to crack more (especially outdoor balls like Dura and Franklin X-40) Shorten your backswing More compact strokes Choke up on the paddle for better touch Expect weird timing on volleys, dinks, and resets Use safer, more consistent drop mechanics Drives often beat drops in cold weather Pressure creates more popups than usual Attack knees, thighs, body more than perfect feet Shorter points favor aggressive modern players Reduce sidelines by 15–20% — aim bigger, safer targets Consider standing slightly off the kitchen line for reaction time Hot paddles become even hotter in the cold Softer control paddles can be easier to manage Consider keeping a “winter paddle” in your bag Hand warmers (QB-style) can be a real advantage Stop trying to play “summer pickleball” in winter Expect your touch to feel off Simplify everything Play higher margin shots Give yourself grace — conditions matter Cold weather still dehydrates you Lower blood volume = higher injury risk Hydration keeps tissues elastic and responsive Expect balls to crack more → bring extras Warm up longer, stay warm between points Shorten your swing, reduce power Less spin, more popups Drives and pressure outperform patient grinding Improve margins, aim safer Keep hands warm Hydrate like it's summer Shorter points usually win Cold weather favors players who: simplify stay aggressive warm up properly and adapt instead of fighting conditions Winter pickleball isn't worse — it's just different.

Recorded live at Cloud Connections, Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, spoke with Sabeeh Hameed, Founder of Sabrhub and a newly announced member of the Cloud Communications Alliance (CCA). The conversation focused on how service providers can offset declining voice revenues by accelerating business messaging adoption—while navigating the growing complexity of 10DLC registration. Hameed explained that Sabrhub was built to address a fundamental shift in the market. As industry reports continue to show declining voice revenues and tightening margins, messaging has emerged as a critical growth opportunity for CSPs and service providers—especially when messaging is enabled on existing voice numbers. However, the introduction of mandatory 10DLC registration has transformed what was once a simple service into a major operational bottleneck. Rather than viewing 10DLC as a barrier, Sabrhub treats it as an opportunity. Hameed noted that many service providers experience campaign rejection rates as high as 70–90 percent, often due to incomplete or improperly structured submissions. Each rejection adds weeks of delay, additional fees, and customer frustration. Sabrhub's platform uses AI to pre-vet campaigns before submission, dramatically increasing approval confidence and reducing onboarding time. According to Hameed, Sabrhub has reduced the brand registration process from hours—or even weeks—down to approximately 15 minutes, with approvals often completed within 24 hours and a reported 99 percent success rate. The platform abstracts away the complexity of use cases, opt-in requirements, privacy policies, and legal disclosures, presenting the process in a customer-friendly format that improves both speed and experience. While AI powers the platform, Hameed emphasized that Sabrhub is not “selling AI” as a product. Instead, AI operates behind the scenes to eliminate friction, guide brands through compliance requirements, and enable service providers to bring messaging services to market faster and more reliably. For MSPs, channel partners, and voice service providers attending Cloud Connections, Hameed positioned messaging compliance as a direct revenue opportunity. By simplifying 10DLC registration and accelerating time to service, partners can increase ARPU, reduce churn, and offer differentiated messaging solutions without taking on regulatory complexity themselves. More information about Sabrhub and its AI-driven 10DLC solutions is available at https://www.sabrhub.com/.

Send us a textHow do you scale a business without losing your values, culture, sanity—or your life outside of work?In this episode of the Spartan Leadership Podcast, Josh Kosnick sits down with Trace Miller, military veteran and founder of Konala, a fast-growing healthy fast-food franchise built on simplicity, discipline, and execution.Trace breaks down what most leaders get wrong about scaling—and why chasing complexity, top-line revenue, or “passive income” often destroys the very thing you're trying to grow.This conversation goes deep on: • Scaling without burnout • Why simplicity beats sophistication • How to remove people, processes, and products that no longer fit • Profit vs. vanity metrics • Leadership lessons from military service • Building systems that scale without losing culture • Why work-life integration matters more than balanceIf you're a founder, operator, or leader trying to grow without losing yourself, this episode will challenge how you think about scale.

Moving Away From ComplexityLeaders Make It Better "Every branch in Me that does not bear fruit He takes away; and every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 (ESV) What is the purpose of pruning… that less… produces more As organizations, ministries, leaders grow, so does complexity. However, complexity is not a necessity. Great leaders make things better—not by adding more, but by doing less, better. As I write this, SpaceX launched its first rocket of the year early this morning. Last year set a record for the number of launches, and this year is already on track to surpass it. SpaceX has pioneered lower-cost rockets that not only launch but return safely to Earth—a concept that was considered impossible just a few years ago. But a team of the best engineers on the planet, paired with a visionary leader willing to attempt the unthinkable, proved the doubters wrong. I recently saw Elon Musk post a picture showing the evolution of their Raptor rocket engines. These engines are ultimately designed to carry humanity to Mars. But to me, the true marvel lies in how each version has been refined. Raptor 1 looked like a tangled mess of wires, tubes, and complexity. It worked, but it was difficult to build, maintain, and reproduce. Raptor 2 was a major step forward—cleaner, more streamlined, and a genuine engineering breakthrough. Yet, the team didn't stop there. Raptor 3, the latest version, is elegant in its simplicity. It's powerful, efficient, and ruthlessly refined— the result of hundreds of intentional decisions to remove what didn't belong and simplify what remained. Elon Musk's team didn't arrive here by accident. They followed a radical but effective design philosophy. "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise. Delete it. Simplify. Optimize. Accelerate. Only then do you automate." This isn't just how you build rockets; it's a masterclass in leading toward simplicity. When I arrived at Grace eight years ago, we found over 50 separate ministries operating under the banner of the church. Most were siloed, competing with one another for resources and attention. We made the intentional decision to move from 50 things to four. It was a deliberate shift away from complexity. It's a timeless problem. As organizations grow, complexity inevitably creeps in. Often, it's not bad things, it's good things that no longer serve the mission. Sacred cows. Outdated processes. Organizational comfort zones. If we don't intentionally prune them, we'll never move with the power and speed the Spirit desires. Remember the words of Jesus: "Every branch that does bear fruit He prunes, that it may bear more fruit." – John 15:2 What Space X Can Teach Leaders 1. Question Everything "Every requirement is dumb until proven otherwise." As leaders, it's our responsibility to question every process, system, and program we engage with. We should consistently ask, "Does this serve the mission?"—until we can either validate it or eliminate it. Why do we hold this meeting? How many of these programs are truly necessary? Can one person do this instead of two? Can this leader handle more responsibility? Why does it take three classes and three months to move someone toward membership? How hard is it to onboard new leaders? Why are we using more than one communication platform? Just because something worked in a past move of God doesn't mean it belongs in the next. 2. Delete, Delete, Delete You can't simplify clutter. Before you simplify, you must eliminate. Craig Groeschel challenges his leaders to keep a "stop doing list" alongside their "to-do list." It's logical—you can't add something new until you remove something old. This year, we made the decision to eliminate our Midweek Fire service to make room for the mission. We asked: Why do we need two weekly services focused on awakening—especially when Sunday is already our strongest and most effective service for that purpose? By removing the Wednesday service, we created space and opportunity for more Grace Groups to meet on campus. That shift better aligns with our vision to train and send. What weekly or monthly meeting can be eliminated or consolidated? What process or system could lose a step or two? What volunteer or leader could be repositioned or reallocated? I promise, you can do more than you think, with less than you think you need. Eliminate what no longer helps people discover life in all its fullness. 3. Clarify What Remains Once something is stripped down to its essential parts, you must then clarify it. Every program, system, activity needs a clear and identifiable win. Every leader needs a clear and simple expectation. Clarity is essential for both mission and movement. What is the win for our Sunday service? What's the expectation for Next Steps? What's the goal of your weekly connection points? What's the purpose of your one-on-one meetings? "Write the vision; make it plain… so that he may run who reads it." (Habakkuk 2:2) Clarity empowers people to run with vision. 4. Accelerate Timeframes What is your big, bold goal for this year? What if you accelerated your timeframe? Instead of going for it slowly over the year, what if you hit it hard for 90 days? Chances are you will not make it… but what if you do? Or how much further will you be along the journey because you accelerated? When you move swiftly and quickly, it might be messy, but it could also be more missional! Remember, the Acts church moved fast because they trusted the Spirit and empowered people. So can we. 5. Automate Last I love automation. This is where systems and programs operate without your constant intervention. However The temptation is to automate first. However if you automate while there is still clutter you will only create confusion. This is why automation is the last step. Today there is a wealth of tools and resources that can steam-line processes, automate tasks and communications. Before you lock them in… make sure that the process has been perfected. Leaders Make It Better This is one of Grace World's 5 Core Leadership Behaviors: Leaders Make It Better. It means we leave things better than we found them. We don't settle for "this is how we've always done it." We treat "it is what it is" like a curse word. We question everything. We eliminate what's unnecessary. We clarify constantly. We move at the speed of the Spirit. And we multiply what matters. As leaders, we take initiative to clear obstacles. We don't wait for someone else to do it. Questions 1. What is one area in your ministry you can simplify this week to make it better? 2. What is a system, step, or sacred cow that needs to be challenged? 3. Where have you settled for the status quo instead of stewarding revival? "Make it your ambition to lead a quiet life… so that your daily life may win the respect of outsiders and so that you will not be dependent on anybody." – 1 Thessalonians 4:11–12 Follow Up Questions What is on thing you will STOP doing in the next 30 days? What is one thing you need to SIMIPLIFY in your life immediately? What is one BIG BOLD goal you can SPEED up?

Navy SEAL leadership traits aren't complicated— they're executed under pressure: cover and move (teamwork), simplify the mission, prioritize and execute, and decentralized command (empowerment). If you've ever led a team in business or a federal agency and felt moments of chaos, this framework will feel immediately practical—click “Show More” for the full breakdown.

What does it actually take to run a successful play café once you're past the opening phase—especially when your space is larger than most independent, non-franchise-chain locations?In this episode of the Profitable Play Podcast, I sit down with Kristina Lai, owner of Busy Bee Play Cafe in Indianapolis, Indiana. Their 8,500+ sq ft facility is on the larger side for a non-chain indoor playground business, which brings its own unique challenges and advantages.On the challenge side, a larger space means a bigger team (often with a high number of teenage staff), higher capacity to manage, more moving parts operationally, and the ability—and pressure—to run a high volume of birthday parties every single week. On the flip side, that size also creates real opportunities: multiple parties running at once, diversified revenue streams beyond open play, a full balloon bar, stronger café potential, and more flexibility in how the business actually makes money.In this conversation, Kristina shares a candid, behind-the-scenes look at how she navigates both sides of that equation.We cover:...Operating a larger independent play café without franchise systems...Managing a large, mostly teenage team in peak seasons...Running a high volume of birthday parties each week—and why systems matter...Hosting multiple parties at the same time without overwhelming staff or guests...Real revenue breakdowns: open play, parties, memberships, café sales, retail, and balloons...Building a profitable balloon business after Party City closures...Using reservations and memberships to control capacity in a high-traffic space...When memberships attract the wrong families—and how to handle it...Letting go of problem members and employees (and why some money isn't worth it)...Launching hot food in a play café without turning it into a full restaurant...The emotional toll of running a large play business and being “always on call”...How ownership impacts family life when your kids grow up alongside the businessThis episode is especially helpful if you:...Own or are planning on opening a play café or indoor playground...Are considering (or already running) a larger-than-average independent space...Run frequent birthday parties and want better systems...Want multiple revenue streams without burning out...Are managing staffing, capacity, or boundaries

I was recently trying to do something that should have been simple: sharing my work calendar with my wife so she knows when I'm actually free for family time. I found myself digging through "secret" settings pages, checking her phone, then mine, and getting increasingly frustrated.It made me realize how often we settle for "fighting" our tools instead of letting them support us.You've probably heard me say that gear doesn't matter. If you're a new podcaster trying to drop $2,000 before you've hit "record," I stand by that. But when it comes to the daily operations of your business, the right gear—both hardware and software—matters immensely.Every minute you spend wrestling with a slow laptop, a glitchy hosting provider, or a manual process is a minute taken away from your family or your core mission.In this episode, I'm breaking down the "Gear" pillar of my GAPS framework.

Eric Thompson interviews Jed Inductivo, a Ninja with Compass in Los Angeles, who achieved his best year yet in 2025 with business up 56% year over year. What makes the story remarkable is that it happened during significant adversity. LA faced devastating fires that impacted clients and the community at large. Jed's brokerage dissolved, forcing a rapid transition. Instead of contracting, Jed expanded by choosing a player mindset, leading with value, and committing to simple, repeatable Ninja fundamentals. Jed credits a guiding belief, "This is happening for me, not to me," as the mindset shift that kept him solution-focused. During the fires, he stepped into service by supporting displaced clients, helping people find temporary housing, and sending resource packed newsletters that were widely shared and generated inbound calls for lease support. Jed breaks down the systems that drove his growth. He created two versions of a Real Estate Review, a five-minute version and a fifteen-minute version, to make Habit 7 consistent. He pairs those reviews with a steady rhythm of coffees and lunches, and he built a highly intentional agent referral engine that now contributes roughly two-thirds of his business. He also shares how his hospitality background helps him deliver a Four Seasons level experience through intake forms, milestone moments, and event style open houses. Looking ahead to 2026, Jed's focus is on calm in the hard, protecting mornings for focus and clarity, and doubling down on his vital few activities, including Real Estate Reviews, two coffees or lunches per week, and his power hour. Key Takeaways Adversity can be fuel when you choose a player mindset and stay focused on solutions This is happening for me, not to me, is a practical mental shift that prevents victim thinking and creates forward motion Value creates opportunity, and Jed's fire resource newsletters were shared widely and led directly to new lease clients Real Estate Reviews paired with coffee or lunch became Jed's strongest growth lever and biggest source of sales Simplify the habit so it happens consistently, and the five-minute and fifteen-minute review options removed friction and made execution weekly Follow up with an insight rather than asking if they have questions, which keeps the burden off the client and highlights your expertise Agent referrals are built intentionally through consistent relationship building, two agent connection calls per week, and making it easy to remember and refer you Make referring you easy with a simple one sheet that explains your market areas, specialties, and personal connection points Hospitality creates bespoke service and intake sheets plus milestone touches create a Four Seasons experience Authentic flow wins and the most sustainable systems are the ones aligned with your DNA and interests Memorable Quotes This is happening for me, not to me Real estate agents are problem solvers My biggest sales this year have come from this combination of real estate review, coffee, lunch by far Treat your clients like they're staying at a Four Seasons The best flow is authentic flow Links: Website: https://ninjaselling.com/ninja-podcast/ Email: TSW@NinjaSelling.com Phone: 1-800-254-1650 Podcast Facebook Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/TheNinjaSellingPodcast Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/NinjaSelling Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ninjasellingofficial/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/company/ninjaselling Upcoming Public Ninja Installations: https://NinjaSelling.com/events/list/?tribe_eventcategory%5B0%5D=183&tribe__ecp_custom_2%5B0%5D=Public Ninja Coaching: http://www.NinjaSelling.com/course/ninja-coaching/ Jed Inductivo: https://www.compass.com/agents/jed-inductivo/

In this kickoff to a powerful new content partnership, Nikki introduces Dr. Ryan Darby, organizational psychologist, leadership simplifier, and founder of WorkStrong. Ryan's not here for hype. He's here for habits.

You'll also get a sneak peek into the upcoming "Work Doesn't Work (Anymore)" series and why Ryan believes the future of leadership lies in emotional regulation, discipline, and better listening, not more content.

Text Kristen your thoughts or feedback about the showRunning a business can feel a lot like working on a puzzle.You've got pieces everywhere — ideas, tools, workflows, client needs — and you know they're supposed to fit together… but sometimes the picture just doesn't feel complete.With National Puzzle Day coming up, I'm leaning into one of my favorite metaphors and breaking down how puzzles and business are surprisingly similar — especially for solopreneurs navigating the messy middle of growth.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why January can feel overwhelming (even when nothing is “wrong”)A simple PUZZLE framework to help you figure out what's missingThree different ways people naturally approach building a businessWhy support systems don't replace your thinking — they protect your progressHow to stop feeling scattered and start placing the right next pieceIf your business feels heavy, incomplete, or just slightly off right now, this episode will help you zoom out, get grounded, and move forward with more clarity.ICYMIEp 140: No Man's Land: Why the Messy Middle Isn't the End of Your Fairytale

We would love to hear from you! Text us any feedback. In part 2 of our 3-part series on goal setting and vision, we're talking about clarity and how clear, God-given direction can simplify your life in a way that feels like peace. When you don't know where you're headed, everything gets heavier: indecision, overthinking, people-pleasing, and yeses that don't align with what truly matters.Today, I share a powerful conversation with my husband that changed how I make decisions. We talk about a “clarity test”, a simple filter you can run every opportunity, request, goal, or commitment through: Does this align with the mission of our home and the direction we believe God is leading our family… or not?I also read parts of my personal 10-year vision (2036), a detailed “movie script” of the life we're prayerfully working toward: a marriage that stays prioritized, a home marked by hospitality, children and grandchildren who are loved and strengthened, health that supports a vibrant future, a business built with integrity, and generosity that stays joyful. And I'm very clear about this: this isn't “manifesting.” This is stewardship, planning with faith while holding everything with open hands before God.We'll walk through the four pillars that keep me anchored (the responsibilities only you can carry), and I'll share practical examples of how clarity shapes everyday life: how I show up in my kitchen, how I protect time with my husband, how I parent adult kids with grace, how I communicate when things get heated, and how I set goals that match the legacy I want to live.If you've been overwhelmed by goal-setting or you've felt scattered, pressured, or distracted… this episode will help you step back, get honest, and get clear so your yes can be yes, your no can be no, and your days can finally match what you say you value.Next week in Part 3, we'll talk about finishing your race strong—how to stay engaged when motivation fades and the year gets heavy. “The heart of man plans his way, but the LORD establishes his steps.”  Proverbs 16:9Questions That Keep Your Direction Clear (True North):If I fast-forward ten years, what kind of person do I most want to be?What do I want people to experience when they are in my presence?If my life produced fruit I could see only in eternity, what would I hope that fruit is?At the end of my life, what would I most regret having neglected?What do I believe God is inviting me to build, cultivate, or steward in this season?What does faithfulness look like for me right now — not success, not speed, just faithfulness?Questions That Align Your Daily Life With Your Long-Term Vision:Did my choices today move me 1% closer to the life I believe God is calling me to?Where did I say “yes” to something that pulled me off course — and why?What small, ordinary obedience did I practice today?Did I prioritize what matters most — or what was most urgent?Did my schedule reflect my stated values?What went well today?Where did I drift?Where did I align with my vision?What will I do differently tomorrow?Questions That Hold Your Plans Loosely Before God:Am I clinging to my plan — or holding it with open hands?If God changed this tomorrow, could I still say “He is good”?What am I most afraid of losing — and what does that reveal?Am I building my identity on outcomes or on obedience?If my circumstances shifted, would my purpose still stand?“Lord, I make plans in faith — but I trust Your leading more than my blueprint.Shape my steps, even when they differ from my stratJOIN ME ON SOCIAL MEDIA:Follow Along @ - https://www.instagram.com/nikkicronksmith/

Managing heart failure isn't just about medications. It's about the everyday food choices that can either ease the strain on your heart or quietly make symptoms worse.In this episode, we break down why sodium has such a powerful impact on heart failure, how it drives fluid retention and shortness of breath, and why even small changes can lead to noticeable relief within days.

How do companies turn data into real enterprise value - not just dashboards, pilots, and AI theater? In this episode of Behind The Numbers With Dave Bookbinder, Dave speaks with Ritavan, author of the award-winning book Data Impact and creator of the SLASOG framework, about why so many data and AI initiatives fail - and what leaders should do differently if they actually want results. Rather than chasing buzzwords or “digital transformation” for its own sake, Ritavan challenges leadership teams to treat data as a strategic asset for value creation. He explains how different economic paradigms - from hunter-gatherers to industrial firms to digital natives - shape how organizations extract value, and why legacy companies often underestimate their proprietary advantages. The conversation explores: Why most data and AI programs collapse under groupthink and misaligned incentives How companies like Walmart leveraged physical assets, customer demand, and scale to build defensible data advantages The dangers of chasing “quick wins” instead of compounding value Why KPIs must be context-specific to strategy, not borrowed from competitors Ritavan also breaks down his six-step SLASOG framework - Save, Leverage, Align, Simplify, Optimize, Grow - and shares practical guidance for leadership teams on aligning talent, culture, and first-principles thinking around long-term value creation. If your data strategy feels like “spray and pray,” this episode will help you identify where to start, how to uncover asymmetric advantages, and how to think about data the way investors and buyers do. About Our Guest: Ritavan is an entrepreneurial technology leader and over the past decade he has built and scaled data-driven solutions that have impacted billions of euros. He has authored peer-reviewed papers, given invited keynotes & workshops at global conferences, and holds an international patent. Ritavan is known for his first principles approach to data-driven value creation across industries. https://ritavan.com/ https://www.amazon.com/Data-Impact-businesses-LEVERAGE-SIMPLIFY/dp/178133921X/ About the Host: Dave Bookbinder is known as an expert in business valuation and he is the person that business owners and entrepreneurs reach out to when they need to know what their most important assets are worth.

Most golfers make the same mistake every offseason: They either do nothing… or they work on too many random things with no plan. In this episode, we talk about how to use the offseason the right way — building habits, structure, and clarity so that when the season starts, you're already ahead. Here's the truth most golfers don't want to hear: your golf season is decided before the first round.

If you want a clear plan — not guesswork — this is where to start.

Is America in revival? Well, not quite, according to Barna CEO David Kinnaman, who joins Carey to discuss 2026 church trends. New data shows overall American Christianity is still in decline AND that Gen Z men are dialing into Jesus, young adults are the most churched group in America, and that we're setting ourselves up for a succession crisis.
