In this episode, host Beau Wigington chats with Aaron Wulk, Director of Applied Technical Programs at South Piedmont Community College, about real-world Inconel tips, ATF certification, and how to choose the right career track in welding.Key Topics Covered:Inconel vs. carbon steel fundamentals: shielding gas (100% argon vs. 75/25), puddle behavior (sluggish vs. fluid), voltage pitfalls, and trusting the puddle.Hot cracking explained: why rapid heat dissipation makes welds brittle, and how preheat/postheat and heat input control (TIG vs. MIG) help.Process selection by application: when MIG on Inconel makes sense (e.g., heavy foundry repairs) and why TIG often offers better heat control.Common mistakes: impatience, poor cleaning, and skipping interpass cleanup—how these quietly ruin otherwise good work.Stick on Inconel: why it's “ropey,” erratic, and just plain difficult—and how to approach it if you must.Where you'll find Inconel: aerospace, nuclear, high-performance automotive, corrosive/chemical plants, and foundry reclamation.Career-driven vs. degree-driven training: stackable short-term certificates, evening classes, and how to upskill without pausing your life.ATF (Accredited Testing Facility) basics: QA manuals, heat numbers, procedure control, documentation, and why it's a resume builder (not a bypass).Certs that travel vs. in-house: six-month renewal realities and why portable credentials matter when you change jobs.Thriving in your first shop: “be quiet and listen,” pick up tricks from veterans, and plug into a community that levels everyone up.Metal art & learning by making: how aesthetics, controlled “mistakes,” and SkillsUSA sculpture build real process understanding.Memorable Quotes:“Trust that the puddle is doing its job.”“Stick welding Inconel? It's gonna suck… more erratic, ropey puddle.”“Be quiet and listen. You don't know everything about welding on day one.”“If you're helping that person be better, you're helping the whole industry be better.”Save 20% On Related American Welding Program Courses With WELD20Check out all the courses available here - https://foxly.link/t8aJ0M Connect with Aaron WulkLinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-wulk-cwi-cwe-648958151 Instagram - @black_mirror_sculptures https://www.instagram.com/black_mirror_sculptures/ Learn more about South Piedmont Community College - https://spcc.edu/ Connect with Beau WigingtonInstagram: @beaudiditwelding https://www.instagram.com/beaudiditwelding LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/beauwigington E-Mail : beauw@weld.comDownload the WELD App:https://foxly.link/Qj0VEa

Was bedeutet es wirklich, ein klares Ja oder Nein zu fühlen – nicht nur im Kopf, sondern im Körper? In dieser Folge sprechen wir über Konsens, Grenzen, Intimität und das Wheel of Consent – und warum dieses Modell so vielen Menschen hilft, ihre eigenen Bedürfnisse endlich wahrzunehmen und klar zu kommunizieren.

In dieser Folge erzähle ich, welche Gewohnheiten mir dazu verholfen haben, selbstsicherer und rundum zufriedener zu werden. Um Selbstbewusstsein aufzubauen, ist es wichtig, die eigene Komfortzone zu verlassen, verschiedene Skills zu erlernen und Neues zu probieren - auch dann, wenn dich niemand auf deinem Weg begleitet oder unterstützt. Denn wahre Stärke entsteht, wenn man für die eigenen Entscheidungen einsteht, unabhängig von den Erwartungen anderer.

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, Scott Love interviews Catherine MacDonagh, a legal industry consultant and author of Lean Six Sigma for Law. Catherine explains how process improvement—defined as analyzing and refining repeatable, describable steps to achieve better outcomes—can significantly enhance client service, profitability, and rainmaking. She notes that while lawyers often resist by saying every matter is unique, many steps in legal work and firm operations (like intake, billing, or onboarding) are recurring processes ripe for improvement. By using tools such as scorecards, impact/ease matrices, and stakeholder analysis, firms can identify high-impact areas, streamline workflows, and improve both client and employee experiences. Catherine shares real-world success stories, including a global law department that collaborated with a law firm to reduce billing inefficiencies and deepen their relationship. She stresses the importance of involving cross-functional teams, listening to the “voice of the client,” and embedding change management into the process. Continuous improvement, she argues, is not just about efficiency—it's about building stronger client partnerships and staying competitive. Catherine closes with three action steps: start by trying small improvements, commit to continuous learning, and build skills in Lean, Six Sigma, and related disciplines. Her message is clear: process improvement works in law, and adopting it can transform rainmaking efforts and client development.

KEY TAKEAWAYS Your big, beautiful brain isn't broken—she's just scared. You have to give her evidence. If you're exhausted, it's not a mindset issue. It's a nervous system and energy issue. You don't lack motivation—you lack structure, rhythm, and reps. You're not selfish for wanting more. You're not greedy. You're just a woman with a vision. You cannot badass your way forward on the good girl operating system. It needs a rewrite. If your body can't hold the vision, you'll never reach it. You don't have to duct tape together another plan—you need a table. Skills are trainable. Strategy creates confidence. Rhythm creates results. POWER QUOTES “You are not lazy. You're not unmotivated. You are just so damn tired.” “No one became a badass on no energy—because you don't have any power.” “Being a badass is not a mindset. It's a skillset. And skills? We can train.” “Your body can't hold the vision yet.” “If your nervous system and your metabolism aren't strong enough, you'll never reach the goals.” “Wanting more does not make you greedy. It does not make you selfish. It makes you a motherfucking badass.” “If we don't have a rhythm, everything feels chaotic. But with rhythm? We become a badass.” “You can't become a badass with chaos.” THIS EPISODE IS FOR: The woman who's chasing clarity but constantly stalling The woman who's training, building, pushing—but still feels like she's falling short The woman who wants more—but doesn't feel safe going all in The one who knows she's meant for something bigger, but can't hold it yet NEXT STEPS

Send us a textThe IAFF Center of Excellence stands as a sanctuary for firefighters navigating the complex terrain of mental health challenges. In this revealing conversation with Hannah Elmore, Clinical Outreach Coordinator, we explore how this specialized treatment facility has become a lifeline for nearly 4,000 firefighters across North America.Hannah takes us behind the scenes of this unique 15-acre campus in Maryland, explaining how every aspect—from the station house-style sleeping quarters to the communal kitchen tables—was designed with firefighters in mind. "The IAFF's fingerprints are all over everything we do," she explains, highlighting the unparalleled cultural competency that makes the Center so effective.What struck me most was the Center's commitment to treating the whole person, not just a diagnosis. While many assume PTSD is the primary concern for firefighters, Hannah reveals they address everything from depression and anxiety to substance use disorders and what she calls "administrative betrayal"—that profound sense of being let down by leadership that can be more devastating than emergency calls. The facility's dual licensure for both mental health and substance use treatment ensures comprehensive care without arbitrary distinctions.Perhaps most powerful was our discussion about the fire pit—that simple gathering place where many firefighters experience their deepest healing through connection with peers from across the country. These relationships often continue long after discharge, creating a nationwide network of behavioral health champions who support each other and bring resources back to their departments.The message Hannah wants every firefighter to hear? "You don't have to wait until you reach crisis before reaching out for help." Whether you're struggling with job-related trauma, family stress, or simply feeling that disconnect between your feet and your mind, the Center offers a path forward with culturally competent care that understands the unique challenges of the fire service.Ready to learn more or connect with resources?

Do you ever feel like you're stuck in autopilot mode, running through the motions without really asking if you're living the life you truly want? Most of us have at least one habit that feels out of alignment, whether it's scrolling at night, overindulging, or staying in a draining job. We judge ourselves harshly, wondering why we can't break free. But what if these habits are not the problem? What if, instead, they're signals that point to something deeper?   In this episode, I offer a new perspective on habits, especially those we label as "bad." Instead of seeing them as flaws to be fixed, I invite you to understand the deeper, often protective reasons behind them. When we approach our habits with curiosity and compassion, we start to recognize that everything we do makes sense when viewed in the context of our life experiences and what we've been taught to value.   Get full show notes, transcript, and more information here: https://habitsonpurpose.com/186

We'd signed off. Thanked everyone. Sam Daish was probably ready to start his day in Auckland, and we were wrapping up what had already been a dense conversation about AI in sales. But then Chris started talking about something he calls "micro pivoting" - those split-second adjustments that separate elite salespeople from everyone else - and none of us wanted to hang up. What followed was Chris dissecting the athletic nature of top sales performance, using Cherryl Turner's cold calling mastery as a case study. The insight about how elite reps make tiny voice and timing adjustments that most of us would never notice, and how those microscopic moments determine whether a conversation continues or dies. This wasn't planned content - it was pure discovery happening in real time, the kind of conversation that makes you realize the real secrets are hiding in plain sight. Sometimes the best episodes happen when you think you're done recording.

We're thrilled to bring you this powerful and myth-busting conversation with Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified urologist, author of You Are Not Broken, and host of the top-rated podcast of the same name. If you've ever felt confused, dismissed, or flat-out frustrated by the information (or lack thereof) around perimenopause and menopause, this episode is for you. Dr. Casperson breaks down the science with clarity and humor, helping us all better understand what's really going on with our hormones—and why we don't have to just "tough it out." We cover everything from early symptoms like brain fog and poor sleep to the misunderstood role of hormones like estrogen and testosterone. We also talk about how we as women can become better advocates for our health in a system that often leaves us behind.  Episode Highlights:  [4:38] - Debunking the myth that menopause only happens in your 50s—and how "average" doesn't mean "too young." [7:16] - Brain fog, sleep issues, and the importance of estrogen and testosterone for your mental clarity. [16:50] - The real story behind testosterone—what it does, why it's not “just for libido,” and how women actually produce more of it than estrogen. [21:33] - Pros, cons, and controversies of pellets vs. transdermal testosterone and how to advocate for safe, effective treatment. [29:00] - Why age-based hormone treatment guidelines are outdated and how to start thinking preventively about your health. [34:30] - Breast cancer survivors and hormones: navigating a complex and often misinformed landscape. [38:59] - Common myths around risk and how to challenge medical gatekeeping with knowledge and confidence. [42:44] - The fallout from the 2002 Women's Health Initiative study and how misinformation persists decades later. [44:08] - Where to actually find a menopause-savvy provider who knows the full menu of treatment options. Links & Resources:Dr. Kelly Casperson's Website: https://kellycaspersonmd.com/ Book: You Are Not Broken: https://kellycaspersonmd.com/you-are-not-broken-book/ Upcoming Book: Menopause Moment (September 2025): Pre-Order Now: preorder Kelly's new book about Perimenopause: https://kellycaspersonmd.com/the-menopause-moment-book/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/kellycaspersonmd Podcast: You Are Not Broken: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/you-are-not-broken/id1495710329 Menopause Society Directory: https://menopause.org/  If today's discussion resonated with you or sparked curiosity, please rate, follow, and share "Insights from the Couch" with others.
