Podcasts about Slower

While much of the housing conversation in 2026 has focused on slower sales, elevated mortgage rates and affordability challenges, industry leaders say a bigger issue is emerging behind the scenes: a future housing supply shortage.  Tim Arnold of D.R. Horton, Cara Lavender of John Burns Research and Consulting and Jim Jacobi of Parkland Communities, join host Carol Morgan on Atlanta Real Estate Forum Radio for a mid-year market update on looming lot shortages, zoning challenges, affordability concerns and the factors shaping housing supply across metro Atlanta.  The Biggest Housing Story Nobody Is Talking About  “In my opinion, the biggest secret in housing today is the lack of new zonings that are occurring,” said Jacobi.  He explained that numerous municipalities have either implemented zoning moratoriums or significantly slowed approvals, creating a development pipeline problem that could emerge over the next several years. Although today’s market remains slower than the pandemic-era housing boom, builders continue selling homes and working through existing lot inventories. The challenge is that many communities are not approving enough future projects to replace what is currently being built.  “People probably do not recognize what is happening out there with the lot supply market,” said Arnold. “There is going to be a struggle for folks to get lot supply.”  Labor and Building Capacity Could Become the Next Challenge  With in-migration at historically low levels and major infrastructure projects such as data centers competing for skilled trades, Lavender said labor constraints could quickly become a concern if housing demand accelerates.  “If a demand faucet turns on, do we have the lots available?” she said. “But in that same breath, do we have the labor and the building products capacity available to support an uptick in production?”  Slower production volumes have helped ease labor pressures. However, the industry may not be prepared to rapidly increase construction activity if market conditions improve.  Spring Selling Season Falls Short of Expectations  While future supply concerns remain top of mind, today’s housing market continues to face near-term challenges. Lavender described the spring selling season as “underwhelming.” Uncertain demand and hesitant consumers continue to weigh on market performance. Builders are maintaining sales through pricing strategies and incentives, but those efforts are coming at the expense of profit margins.  Senate Bill 447 Could Improve Georgia’s Permitting Process  Senate Bill 447 could provide a welcome boost for Georgia’s housing industry by improving transparency and accountability in the permitting process. The legislation increases visibility into permit reviews, requires written explanations for permit denials and establishes timelines for local governments to respond to applications. It could also help reduce delays that often add significant costs to housing projects.  “It’ll speed up the building and land development permits,” said Arnold.  Build-to-Rent Gains Recognition as an Asset Class  Federal housing legislation could significantly affect the build-to-rent sector. Proposed revisions to the Road to Housing Act would provide greater certainty for investors and developers while reinforcing build-to-rent’s role in the broader housing market. One of the most notable aspects of the legislation is its recognition of build-to-rent as a distinct asset class, a change that could strengthen investor confidence and support additional capital investment. Greater certainty and increased investment could help expand housing supply by encouraging additional build-to-rent development in high-demand markets.  Gwinnett County Offers a Warning Sign  From January through April 2025, unincorporated Gwinnett County issued approximately 2,800 new home permits. During that same period, local officials approved zoning for only about 1,400 future housing units.  “So they only zoned about half as many lots as what has been built in the same time period,” said Jacobi.  This imbalance raises questions about where future housing inventory will come from if current approval trends continue. Ongoing zoning moratoriums, elevated land costs and community opposition to new development could further constrain housing supply and place additional pressure on affordability.  Tune in next week for Part 2 of this market update, where the panel takes a deeper look at affordability, infrastructure challenges and what housing leaders expect over the next several years.  About Parkland Communities  Parkland Communities, Inc., the parent company of build-to-rent home builder, Parkland Residential, is a privately owned, multifaceted real estate development and investment firm specializing in residential properties.

If you're putting in 12, 14, sometimes 20 hours a week and your times are going backwards, this episode is for you. This is a solo episode, and I want to talk about something I see constantly with athletes over 50, and it frustrates me because it's so avoidable. High volume training feels like commitment. It feels like the right thing to do. But for athletes in their late 40s, 50s and 60s, it's often the thing that's quietly breaking them down. In this episode I explain what's actually happening physiologically when you stack training stress on top of work stress, poor sleep and a less forgiving hormonal environment. I talk about what smart training looks like for this stage of life, and why the athletes I've coached who go sub 10 or earn Kona slots are almost never the ones doing the most hours. This isn't about doing less. It's about doing better. 5 KEY POINTS The body doesn't distinguish between types of stress - training load, work pressure and poor sleep all land in the same bucket, and chronic overload triggers sustained cortisol elevation that works directly against recovery and adaptation. The hormonal environment after 50 is fundamentally different - lower testosterone and growth hormone mean the margin for error is much smaller than it was in your 30s. You can no longer outwork a poor recovery strategy. Sleep is where adaptation happens - around 95% of daily growth hormone is released during deep sleep. Cut sleep to squeeze in an extra session and you're adding fatigue, not fitness. Consistency beats volume every time - 10 hours a week for 52 weeks is 520 hours. Sporadic 20-hour weeks followed by burnout or injury will never outperform steady, sustainable training across a full year. Recovery weeks are not a weakness - planned recovery weeks are a strategic tool, not an optional extra. Without them, training stress accumulates without the adaptation following. 3 TAKEAWAYS Make easy sessions genuinely easy and hard sessions genuinely hard - most athletes do everything at medium intensity, which delivers neither recovery nor adaptation. Strength and mobility are non-negotiable - schedule them first and never cancel them for an extra swim or run session. If your times are going backwards, it's not a motivation problem or a commitment problem. It's a strategy problem and strategy can be fixed. KILLER QUOTE "These athletes aren't lazy and they're definitely not lacking commitment. If anything, commitment is the problem, because they're committed to an approach that is quietly breaking them down." LINKS & RESOURCES Want help building durable training?

John Odermatt, Lou Perez, and Brian McWilliams kick off the episode with a viral story about a YouTube couple who publicly live-streamed learning their unborn child tested positive for Down syndrome — and subsequently aborted the pregnancy. The hosts debate the ethics of turning deeply personal medical decisions into content, the accuracy of prenatal testing, and what they see as hypocrisy in progressive attitudes toward human life. The conversation transitions into the LA mayoral race, with mail-in ballot counting dragging on and potentially shifting results. The episode closes with a look at Bernie Sanders' proposed American AI Sovereign Wealth Fund Act, which would impose a 50% tax on AI company stock and redistribute proceeds to citizens, and the hosts compare it to what Marc Andreessen allegedly described as the Biden administration's attempt to limit and control the AI industry.

Bruce & Gaydos explain why commercial truck drivers drove 4% slower in late April due to the rising cost of diesel fuel.

Back in 2021, I got a great email from a young bootmaker named Nathan Florsheim who wanted to chat. Boy am I glad I took that call. About a year later I had Nathan—great great great grandson of Milton Florsheim, yes, THAT Florsheim—on the Shoecast. Four years and 130 handmade pairs later, Nathan is absolutely rolling as a custom bootmaker who has truly seemed to find his own space, one that so many clients want to inhabit as well. So along with the man they call Ticho, we caught up about what's changed in that time with his technical and ordering process, why slow is actually really good, how he finally set up a workshop that really works for him, the tallest man in the world's Florsheim boots, and obviously, plenty more. Also Nathan just so happened to open his order books right when this episode dropped, but it's not THAT easy to get onto his client list. So of course we made a second bonus episode for subscribers in which Nathan shares the best ways to have success putting in for an order. That one's available on our Premium Subscribers feed—check out Stichdown.com to learn more about Stitchdown Premium, our very excellent private discord, and how to get access to that episode. https://nfbootmaker.com/https://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/ Support the Shoecast, get full bonus episode access, and join the most interesting shoe-and-boot-loving community on the internet with a Stitchdown Premium membershiphttps://www.stitchdown.com/join-stitchdown-premium/A website.

If you follow the English Premier League, you will know that Arsenal won the Premier League title a couple of weeks ago.  It's been a tough 6-year journey for their manager, Mikel Arteta, but what stood out is that no matter how hard things got, Arteta stuck to the standards he set at the club and, more importantly, focused on following his plan.  He knew that to take Arsenal back to the top, there had to be a plan, and to ensure the plan was followed, standards needed to be set. In this week's episode, we're looking at how your standards matter and why having a plan to fall back on will always give you clarity, focus and make better decision-making easier.   Links: Email Me | Twitter | Facebook | Website | Linkedin   Learn more about the Quiet Productivity Method here Get Your Copy Of Your Time, Your Way: Time Well Managed, Life Well Lived The Working With… Weekly Newsletter Carl Pullein Learning Centre Carl's YouTube Channel Carl Pullein Coaching Programmes Subscribe to my Substack  The Working With… Podcast Previous episodes page Script | 419 Hello, and welcome to episode 419 of the Your Time, Your Way Podcast. A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  If you've followed me for any length of time, you will know I have written and spoken a lot about having standards.  Standards for how Long it takes you to respond to emails and messages, and how you manage your calendar, for example.  It's the standards you set for yourself that will ensure that you do the right things day after day. That if things go wrong, you have something to fall back on that feels familiar and keeps you doing the right things.  My communication standard is to respond to emails within 24 hours. This means that no matter how busy I am, if I have an actionable email I have not responded to that is approaching the 24-hour limit, I will do whatever it takes to respond, even if that means working a little extra time at the end of the day.  This week's question is related to these approaches. So to get us started, let me hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Sonya. Sonya asks, Hi Carl, I love COD and the Time Sector System. Both have really helped me to get much more focused on what matters to me. But what frustrates me is that I still have too many days when I procrastinate and don't get what I want done. How do you stay so consistent?  Hi Sonya, thank you for your question. As I alluded to, it comes down to the standards you set for yourself. I know that sounds easy, and I know it is not, but the standards you set are what help you push through when you are not in the right frame of mind to do what needs to be done.  Let me explain.  It can be very tempting, when you have just finished reading a book or have taken a course, to be full of enthusiasm to change things.  And that's not a bad thing. But it's important to be realistic when setting up your processes and new way of doing things.  If you were to set up a two-hour closing-down routine at the end of each day, you would fail. It's too long.  Similarly, I've seen people get excited by the idea of having a solid morning routine. Then they add so many things to their morning routine that it takes them two or three hours to complete them.  That's never going to promote consistency. There will inevitably be days when you cannot complete those routines, and then you get it into your head that you're a failure or that having routines doesn't work for you. Neither of which is true.  The place to begin is with your non-negotiables. What must happen every day, no matter what?  I know many people, for instance, who will not go to bed until all the dishes have been washed and put away.  That might seem a small thing, but to the people who do that, it is their standard. They couldn't imagine going to bed without doing it.  One standard I try to get my coaching clients to follow is to do a five-minute daily planning session before they end their day.  That planning session is to review your calendar for appointments, look at your list of tasks, make sure it is realistic and to decide what your two must-do tasks will be.  That's it. Five minutes tops.  This is a realistic planning session. You can do it from your sofa and on your phone if necessary.  Once you have set it as a standard, you do this every day, including weekends and holidays. Now, weekends and holidays are easier. You will likely have fewer tasks and appointments, but it's a standard. You do it anyway.  Consistency can be hard when you don't have any clear standards. Yet, those standards need to be realistic.  One way to do this is to set minimums.  Imagine you decide to read a book every day. Now, I've seen people set very unrealistic targets here. This usually begins with deciding to read something like 50 books per year, which is then broken down into reading a book a week.  So far so good.  But what happens if you read something like Andrew Roberts' book on Winston Churchill or Walter Isaacson's biography of Leonardo Da Vinci? Both are over 1,000 pages. Those books will take you longer than a week to read.  That's why this kind of target setting is wrong.  Let's start with what your purpose is here. Is it to read a set number of books? If so, choose short books, and you'll hit your target. But it's more likely that you want to build the habit of reading. This means it doesn't matter how many books you read in any given year. All that matters is that you spend time reading each day.  So set a realistic minimum.  If you were to set the target at reading for a minimum of twenty minutes each day, it would not be long before you settled into a routine and just did your reading.  What happens is that the books you get into and enjoy reading, you'll read for longer than twenty minutes. Slower, harder books will likely have you reading for twenty minutes. That's fine; you're still reading. You did what you set out to do, and after twenty minutes, you can stop.  That's a realistic standard to set for yourself and one likely to become a non-negotiable.  Incidentally, you can do this with exercise and dealing with your messages. Set a daily minimum amount of time you will spend doing these activities.  And I should say there is some psychology behind the twenty-minute minimum. If you were to tell yourself you will spend an hour on a particular activity every day, your brain will push back.  On the days you are feeling tired, a little sick or ‘just not in the mood', that one hour will feel like an eternity. Twenty minutes, on the other hand, seems achievable, no matter how you feel. Remember, it's a minimum. Once you've done your twenty minutes, you can stop. Often you won't, but you can if you are still not feeling up to it.  I do this with my emails and messages. I like to finish my day with all actionable messages cleared. But there are days when, for one reason or another, I cannot do so. I then apply the twenty-minute minimum.  I tell myself I will spend twenty minutes clearing as many as I can.  It's this standard that makes it easy to keep on top of messages.  I began this episode by explaining how Arsenal's manager, Mikel Arteta, turned around the club by setting non-negotiable standards.  Arteta's attitude is that if you cannot accept these standards, then you're out the door. It's as simple as that.  And I saw this with Manchester United's former manager, a brilliant manager, Alex Ferguson. Ferguson took over the management of Manchester United in 1986. On his arrival, he set about setting some very high standards at the club.  It took around four years, but by setting those standards, Manchester United turned the 1990s into Manchester United's greatest generation.  Change is hard. It's particularly hard to stick to your new set of standards when things don't seem to be improving. When there's no immediate payoff.  Your old habits don't want to die, and they will fight to stay around. This is why trying to change everything all at once almost always fails.  Instead, start small. Daily planning is an easy place to start because all you are doing is reviewing your appointments for the next day, ensuring your list of tasks is realistic, and identifying your must-do tasks.  With practice, you will be able to do this in about two minutes, and the more you practice, the more you see the benefits of having clarity on what must be done and where you need to be each day.  From there, add in a weekly planning session. This is where you set your plan for the week and decide your objectives. It is not about reviewing all your tasks and projects. You're not reviewing, you're planning. Reviewing is entirely different.  The best time to review a project is when you've just finished working on it. The project is fresh in your mind, and you will know precisely what needs to happen next.  It's by having a plan that you will find you procrastinate less. You don't become frozen by the number of things you need to do. You know what your objectives are for the week, and you will do what needs to be done to accomplish them.  Commit to your plan, and you will have the energy to push towards it. Without a plan, you'll procrastinate because all you will see is a mountain of work to do, and you have no idea what to do or where to start.  Let me show you this in action:  Imagine you have thousands of emails in your email inbox, and you are desperate to get it under control and clean it out. But the sheer size of it freezes you. Where do you start? What would be the best way to go about it? And you'll be thinking this will take forever.  But what if you decided to start with the oldest ones and spend a minimum of 20 minutes a day on this project until it's done?  Let's be honest, if you've got thousands of emails in your inbox, it doesn't really matter where you start. You've just got to start somewhere.  Twenty minutes a day, from the oldest to the newest. Now that's a plan. And you'll find that by starting with the oldest first, you'll be deleting a lot. Most of what you have will be out of date, moved on or already resolved. That builds momentum, which in itself generates energy.  If you'd like to learn more about setting your non-negotiables, having a plan for the day and a set of clear objectives for the week, my recently released Quiet Productivity Method programme will help you.  It's packed with ideas like these, along with the right set of tools to give you clarity, focus, and a sense of calm throughout your day.  I'll leave a link in the show notes for you to learn more about this immersive programme.  Thank you, Sonya, for your question, and I hope this answer has helped.  Thank you also to you for listening, and it just remains for me now to wish you a very, very productive week.   

The emergence and consequences of vibe coding, a practice where developers use AI agents to generate software via natural language prompts rather than manual programming. While Andrej Karpathy originally coined the term for low-stakes hobby projects, research from METR suggests that technical workers now report significant productivity value from these tools despite high rates of self-reported errors. However, this shift has led to a "vibe coding hangover" characterized by a massive accumulation of technical debt, severe security vulnerabilities, and a decrease in code maintainability. Industry experts warn that the speed of AI-driven development often outpaces human review, potentially compromising the long-term health of open-source ecosystems. Organizations are now being urged to implement formal governance and accountability structures to mitigate the risks associated with blind reliance on automated output. Ultimately, the texts describe a transition where the developer's role is evolving from a writer of code to a high-level orchestrator and validator of AI-generated systems.

Mario Fraioli has coached hundreds of athletes and written over half a million words about running—and his most important lesson is to do less. He is the founder of The Morning Shakeout, a weekly newsletter read by tens of thousands of runners since 2015, a longtime running coach, and a Masters competitor still toeing the line himself with a 4:09 mile to his name. Two days after the 2026 Boston Marathon, Mario sat down with Dominic to break down what he witnessed, what the sport is getting wrong, and what keeps him coming back every single year.In this conversation, Mario makes the case for his "Go One Less" philosophy and why the athletes most motivated to push are the ones most likely to break—a lesson he learned the hard way through stress fractures and disordered eating. He shares what it was like training alongside some of the best runners in the country and being stunned by how slow their easy days were. And he talks about what curiosity (not ambition) has driven everything he's built, from his first newsletter issue sent to 200 people to the coaching business he never planned to have.Take the pursuit seriously. Don't take yourself too seriously. And just get started.Tap into the Mario Fraioli Special.If you enjoy the podcast, please consider following us on Spotify and Apple Podcasts and giving us a five-star review!

Most of us were trained to read the Bible the way we were trained to lead — move fast, cover ground, extract what's useful, and get back to work. But what if that approach, by itself, is keeping you from the very transformation you're trying to produce in others?In this episode, I want to share a practice that has shaped my life for almost thirty years. A practice I cannot live without. It's called Lectio Divina — holy reading — and I believe it may be the single most important shift a Christian leader can make in their relationship with Scripture and with God.I'll take you through the history of this practice, the ancient monastic stream of reading that treated the Bible not as a text to be mastered but as a sacrament — a place of encounter with the living God. I'll share the four movements that structure it, and exactly what it looked like in my own devotional life this past week.This isn't theory. I'll be honest with you about the years I spent reading the Bible the way I approached leadership: achieve, produce, get it done. What that approach cost me — in my prayer life, my preaching, my soul — is something I wish someone had told me at 30.Lectio Divina interrupts the cycle of leading from information rather than formation. It doesn't just inform your sermons — it transforms the person preaching them. And it begins with something shockingly simple: slowing down long enough to let the Word read you.Reserve your spot at our upcoming Global Leaders Conference.September 30 – October 1, 202614th St. Salvation Army, NYC(Live Spanish Translation available)Register Now: https://ehd.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/3421612Learn more about the EH Global Leader Conference 2026: emotionallyhealthy.org/conference

Most ultra runners have a race calendar that looks impressive and a performance trajectory that doesn't match it.Here's why: racing is eating the cake. Training is making it. And if you're racing every other weekend — or hammering yourself in training like every session is a time trial — you're eating cake you haven't baked yet.In this episode I break down the A, B, C race framework: what it actually means, how to use it properly, and why getting this wrong is one of the most common reasons experienced runners plateau, burn out, or keep having disappointing race days despite putting in the work.What's covered:The cake analogy and why it applies to how you train, not just how you raceThe real difference between A, B and C races (and how to be honest about which is which)Why A races should be no more than 2–3 times a year and what that actually makes possibleHow racing your training is sabotaging your resultsA simple audit to fix your race calendar todayIf you've ever finished a race wondering why your fitness didn't show up then this episode is probably the answer.

What if the thing you've been overlooking is actually the thing that could change everything? In a world obsessed with fast bookings and digital files, it's easy to believe you need more clients, more hustle, and more content to succeed. But the photographers building sustainable, profitable businesses are often doing something much quieter, and far more meaningful. In this week's Joycast, Sarah Petty breaks down the "boring" business model that helped her go from overwhelmed mom of three to one of America's most profitable photographers. This episode is a powerful reminder that success doesn't come from chasing trends. It comes from serving people deeply and creating artwork that actually matters in their lives.

There’s a battle happening inside of you that most Christians don’t fully understand. You pray. You try harder. You want freedom. But somehow the fight keeps showing back up. What if the struggle itself is proof that God is already working? In this episode of The Uncommon Christian, Jon Ellis exposes the real war happening beneath temptation, conviction, obedience, and spiritual growth. This is not just about behavior modification. This is about the battle between flesh and Spirit, truth and emotion, conviction and compromise. You’ll learn: • Why temptation feels louder in the moment • Why conviction can start feeling exhausting • How the enemy uses thoughts, emotions, and isolation • Why the fight is evidence you haven’t surrendered to darkness • How to respond when your mind and emotions are at war If you’ve been frustrated with your struggle, this episode will help you understand what’s actually happening, and how to fight differently. This is where we stop settling for surface-level faith and start living the life Jesus actually called us to live. The fight inside of you may actually be proof God is working. In this episode, Jon Ellis breaks down the real battle behind temptation, conviction, obedience, and spiritual warfare, and why many believers keep fighting the wrong way.

Summer is almost here — and if we’re honest, it’s a little bit of everything. Slower mornings and pool days on one hand, no schedule and sweaty chaos on the other. In this episode, Kate and Rebecca kick off the Gather Moms Summer Series by talking about what actually makes or breaks a mom’s summer — and how to set yourself up for a season you’ll actually enjoy. In This Episode We’re breaking down 5 ways moms accidentally ruin their own summer (relatable, we promise) — and flipping each one into a practical mindset shift that leads to a cooler, calmer, more present summer for you and your family. 5 Ways to Have a Miserable Summer (Don’t Do These) Plan every second — Over-scheduling leads to burnout and missed moments. The pressure to create “the best summer ever” can cause moms to plan the magic right out of it. Scroll through everyone else’s summer — Social media becomes a highlight reel of perfect vacations and picture-perfect kids. Comparison is the thief of July. Let every day be a total free-for-all — Zero routine leads to overwhelm for moms and kids. No structure = everyone spiraling by 10am. Never say no to a single invitation — Summer fills up fast with BBQs, playdates, camps, and family gatherings. People-pleasing your way through the season is a fast track to exhaustion. Do it all yourself — The invisible mental load of summer — the planning, the entertaining, the refereeing — without help or margin leads straight to mom burnout. 5 Ways to Keep Your Cool This Summer Plan the anchors, not every hour — Pick 2-3 anchor moments each week and let the rest breathe. The best memories usually happen in the margins. Curate your feed or put the phone down — Someone else’s beach vacation isn’t a grade on your summer. Your kids will remember your presence, not your Pinterest board. Keep a loose rhythm, not a rigid schedule — Same wake time, quiet time, and basic flow gives both kids and moms the predictability they need. Structure isn’t the enemy of fun — it’s what makes fun sustainable. Learn your “yes” limit and protect it — A rested mom is a present mom. Give yourself permission to protect a few slow days this summer. Delegate, involve, and let go of the standard — Get your kids involved in the planning, lunches, and cleanup. Ask for help. Summer was never meant to be a solo performance. A Note for Your Soul The slower pace of summer is actually an invitation. It’s a chance to spend more time with God — in prayer, in the Word, in stillness. Don’t miss it. Be sure to check out our Summer in the Psalms series for a simple, beautiful way to stay rooted this season.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Have you ever hired someone to free up your time and found yourself working more hours than before? Have you hit a point where your reputation for quality is actually the thing keeping you stuck in every project? Today's featured guest and his wife have been building their agency for over 22 years. For most of that time, the business ran on referrals, no defined niche, and two founders doing most of the work. Six years ago, they got serious about building a real team. In this episode, he talks honestly about what that transition looked like, why his technical strengths became a liability as the agency grew, how a lack of sales infrastructure was quietly making their delivery problems worse, and what the shift to actually picking clients has done for their operations. Olivier Bridgeman is the co-founder of Bridge Media, a marketing and web agency serving businesses in residential construction, renovation, and maintenance—recognized as the builders of credibility. Although it has been operating for over two decades, Olivier and his wife made the decision to build a real team and install the infrastructure that would let the business grow beyond them just six years ago. The agency now has 11 people, and Olivier is in the process of evolving out of the operator role and into something closer to CEO, working through the mindset and structural challenges that come with that shift. In this episode, we'll discuss: The expected cost of adding more people When your biggest strength turns you into a bottleneck Fixing sales to fix the delivery problem Sponsors and Resources This episode is brought to you by Wix Studio: If you're leveling up your team and your client experience, your site builder should keep up too.

Their approach is simple: invest in great founders, protect what's already working, and help agencies scale faster. Go to https://www.herringbonedigital.com/swenk and start the conversation. Why Adding People Made the Work Harder Before It Got Easier After years of being the sole force behind the business, the motivation to build a team was simple: bring on people, hand off work, and get time back. The reality was that the first hires created more work, not less. Olivier and his wife had to deliver their own work, review and redo the team's work before it went to clients, manage schedules, clarify responsibilities, and absorb the cost of onboarding, all at the same time. This is the Manager stage in full effect, and it is the stage where most founders assume something is broken when it is actually just the expected cost of the transition. What Olivier describes is exactly what makes this stage so difficult: you used to know what you were doing every afternoon. Now you have to manage your own calendar and everyone else's. The invisible work of managing people, training them, setting expectations, and maintaining quality does not show up on any timesheet. It just accumulates. The goal is to move through this stage quickly, not to stay in it and hire more people on top of it. When Your Biggest Strength Becomes the Bottleneck Olivier's programming ability, which was his edge at the start, became a trap as the team grew. When you are the best technical person in the room and there is a problem in front of you, the reflex is to fix it. It is faster. It is cleaner. And it quietly signals to the team that you do not trust them to solve it themselves. The pattern is common across founders who built their agencies around a specific skill. The capability that created the business eventually becomes the reason the founder cannot leave it. Every time Olivier jumped in to fix something, he was reinforcing the team's dependency on him rather than building their ability to handle it independently. The structural answer is not to stop caring about quality. It is to raise the standard through coaching and systems rather than through personal intervention. The goal is a team that can hit 80 percent of what you would have done, on their own, then coach them to 82, then 85. Perfection is not the benchmark. Capability without you is. What Fixing Sales Did to Their Delivery Problem For most of Bridge Media's existence, new business came through referrals and local relationships. That felt safe. Working some local events and being known within their market was enough for a while. In practice, it meant every client was different, every project required a different set of skills, and the team was constantly starting from scratch. The founders had to stay deeply involved because the work never became repeatable enough for anyone else to own it. Two years ago, Olivier and his wife made a deliberate shift toward building an actual sales function. The downstream effect was not just more leads. It was better client fit, more predictable project types, and a team that could finally develop real expertise in a consistent area of work. When you build a pipeline, you get the ability to be selective. When you are selective, you take on clients your team can actually serve without the founders embedded in every deliverable. Referral dependency does not just create revenue risk. It creates a structural trap that keeps founders in the operator seat far longer than necessary. The Mindset Shift That Has to Happen Before the Role Can Change Olivier knows he needs to step back, and it is still hard. Not because the systems are not there, but because the identity is hard to separate from the work. When you have spent years building a culture of teamwork and being present for the team, stepping into a more removed role can feel like abandonment, both to the team and to yourself. The reframe that matters here is not about working less. It is about what the business actually needs from you at each stage. You may think that your biggest contribution to the agency is your time, but at the CEO level your job is: Setting the vision Communicating it consistently Coaching the leadership layer Protecting the culture through behavior rather than through presence Steering direction That work is roughly 20 hours a week when done correctly. The challenge is that most founders do not believe that until they have experienced it, and the discomfort of having fewer hours filled pushes them back into the operator role they just worked hard to leave. Recognizing the rubber band effect for what it is, significance-seeking disguised as contribution, is what makes it possible to stop pulling yourself back in.

In this Omni Talk Retail interview, recorded live from World Retail Congress 2026 in Berlin, Chris Walton speaks with Malin Andrée, Global Retail Industry Leader at EY, and Steven Bailey, Americas Retail Leader at EY Studio+, about how AI could fundamentally reshape the future of retail over the next decade. Drawing from EY's latest retail futures report, the conversation explores four possible scenarios for how AI adoption may evolve across the industry: constrained growth, accelerated transformation, platform-driven disruption, and even a collapse scenario where power becomes concentrated among a handful of dominant technology players. Malin explains why retailers should stop trying to predict a single future and instead focus on building “no regret moves” that prepare organizations for multiple outcomes. Steven expands on where AI is already creating operational impact today, particularly across merchandising, personalization, workforce scheduling, and agentic commerce. The discussion also examines why customer experience and human interaction still matter deeply in a world increasingly shaped by automation. While AI may transform workflows and decision-making, both leaders argue that retail's future will still depend on people, trust, and meaningful consumer connection. Key Topics Covered: • EY's four future scenarios for AI in retail • Why retailers should prepare for multiple AI outcomes • The growing role of agentic commerce in retail • How AI is changing merchandising and supply chain operations • Why personalization may finally scale effectively with AI • How workforce scheduling could become fully AI-driven • Why customer experience still requires a strong human element • The risk of AI platform concentration across retail • Why data architecture and AI infrastructure matter now • How retailers can identify “no regret” AI investments Thank you to Vusion for supporting Omni Talk Retail's live coverage from World Retail Congress 2026. #WRC2026 #WorldRetailCongress #OmniTalkRetail #AIinRetail #AgenticCommerce #RetailInnovation #CustomerExperience #RetailStrategy #FutureOfRetail #RetailLeadership

Episode Summary In this episode, we dive into a critical paradox: AI is not failing organizations—leadership systems are. While companies are using AI to produce faster outputs, many are finding that their decision-making and coordination cannot keep pace, leading to a "coordination ceiling" where more technology actually creates more friction. We explore why AI often acts as a complexity amplifier rather than a productivity tool and how high-performing leaders are redesigning their "Leadership Operating System" to turn AI into a true force multiplier. Key Discussion Points The Bottleneck of Decision Latency: AI provides insights instantly, but action is often stalled by unclear ownership, layered approvals, and risk hesitation. Organizations are slow not because they lack data, but because they lack the decision infrastructure to act on it. Escaping the "Pilot Trap": Many companies struggle because AI initiatives are fragmented and tested in isolation. Without end-to-end workflow ownership and cross-functional alignment, these pilots fail to integrate into how the business actually runs. The Hidden Shift in Employee Burnout: Modern burnout is no longer driven solely by workload; it is now fueled by ambiguity and cognitive strain. Employees face "always-on judgment" and decision fatigue as they navigate unclear accountability while reviewing AI outputs. Systemic Leadership Failures: We break down the three recurring failures in modern organizations: a lack of clear decision architecture, fragmented ownership across IT and business units, and the extreme overload placed on middle management. Redesigning for Performance: High-performing organizations focus on optimizing decision flow over workflows. They define clear escalation paths, assign end-to-end process ownership, and proactively reduce cognitive load by simplifying reporting structures. Key Takeaways for CEOs Speed of Aligned Decisions: The modern competitive advantage is no longer just speed of execution, but the speed at which aligned decisions can be made. Clarity vs. Chaos: Speed without clarity creates chaos; clarity is what creates scalable performance. AI as a Stress Test: AI is not the transformation itself; it is a stress test that reveals whether a leadership system can handle speed, complexity, and scale. Operational Discipline: The winners in the AI era won't necessarily be the most technologically advanced, but the most operationally disciplined. Final Thought A functional Leadership Operating System provides the decision clarity and operational rhythm necessary to prevent AI from amplifying dysfunction. Without it, AI will likely increase burnout and stall performance; with it, AI becomes a powerful catalyst for growth.

Breaking down why men's leaguers lose their first step as they get older, and why most guys are training in a way that won't actually fix it. The short answer comes down to fast-twitch muscle fibers (the ones responsible for explosive movement). As you age, they shrink and weaken faster than everything else. And the way most adults train, they're not doing much to slow that down. I also get into why Men's League Domination '26 was built the way it was, and how Coach Tim's Speed Accelerator system specifically targets the explosiveness that matters most on the ice.

What happens when a city-built life gets interrupted, and something quieter begins to call you in? In this episode, John Kim sits down with Brooks Wilson for a conversation about nature, nervous system regulation, mindfulness, healing, and what it means to move through life with more intention. Brooks shares what it was like growing up in Tamarindo, Costa Rica before major development, how nature shaped her from an early age, and how surfing, yoga, sound healing, and ceremony became part of her path. Together, John and Brooks explore the contrast between fast-paced city living and a slower, more grounded way of being. They talk about presence, eye contact, human connection, gratitude, manifestation, and the healing power of sound, nature, and community. John also opens up about how his move to Costa Rica has been reshaping him after major life upheaval, and why this season feels less like escape and more like medicine. This is a conversation about returning to what matters, learning to listen differently, and finding alignment in unexpected places.

Spring break was full — in the best ways. Slower mornings, more time together, spontaneous adventures, and long days with the kids that reminded me just how much I love being their mom. It was joyful, grounding, and a little messy — the kind of week that pulls you out of your usual rhythm and into the heart of real life. And when it ended, I noticed something familiar: that slightly scattered, overstimulated feeling that can come after a stretch of am especially full week. In this episode, I share how I've been coming back to center. I talk about what I've been learning from the book How to Do Nothing, how my relationship with my phone continues to evolve, and why presence isn't about getting it perfect — it's about returning to yourself, again and again, in the middle of real life.

Patrick Smith on RV Life, Letting Go, and Building a Business from Anywhere In this episode of Living the Good Life, I'm sitting down with my friend Patrick Smith—who's currently parked near Mount Hood, living and working full-time from the road. And this isn't the “race around the country and check the boxes” version of travel. Patrick has chosen a different pace. Slower. More intentional. The kind where you actually experience where you are—and leave room for life to surprise you. We talk about some of those unexpected moments…like a simple campground change in Florida that turned into snorkeling alongside a manatee and her calf. Or the hidden natural spots near San Diego that most people drive right past. And yes—there's a raccoon-on-a-leash story from Louisiana that you just can't make up. But this conversation goes deeper than travel. Patrick shares how he started in real estate back in 1988, and how a serious car accident in 2013 shifted everything—eventually leading him into online business, systems, and building something he could run from anywhere. We also get into the reality of RV life:learning as you go, fixing things the hard way, downsizing (more than once), and figuring out what actually matters. And of course, we talk business—because freedom still needs funding. Patrick now helps businesses get found online, streamline their operations, and use tools like AI in a way that supports the work… without replacing the human connection. Because at the end of the day, some things haven't changed. Helping people matters.Relationships matter.And sometimes your “one job” is simply to make someone smile. ✨In this episode, we talk about:What “slow travel” really looks like in real lifeWhy he chose RV life instead of flying to destinationsThe unexpected moments that come from leaving room in your plansDownsizing and what you learn when you let go of “stuff”Funding life on the roadBuilding a mobile-friendly businessUsing AI as a tool (not a replacement)Why sales is really just helping peopleThe value of old-school relationship buildingThis one isn't just about RV life. It's about paying attention.Letting go of what doesn't matter.And building a life—and a business—that actually fits who you are.______________________________________________Patrick Smith helps business owners build systems that allow their companies to run smoothly—so they can reclaim their time and create a business that supports their life.Connect with Patrick Smith:https://MeetPatrickSmith.comhttps://mybizsuite.com/https://www.facebook.com/mybizsuiteLearn AI from Patrick Smith at the Anchored with Freedom Summit - https://AnchoredinFreedomSummit.comJoin the Living the Good Life FB Community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/LTGLCommunityContact Kimberly Henrie at https://livingthegoodlife.us/

April 3, 2026: Two major academic papers dropped today alongside fresh labor market data, and together they paint the clearest picture yet of what AI will actually do to the economy and to work. Stanford economists show that 87% of U.S. productivity growth since 1950 came from automation — and explain why AI's impact will be real but slower than the hype due to "weak links" in production. A Chicago Fed forecasting paper reveals that even expert economists admit the range of outcomes is genuinely wide. On top of that: AI is now the #1 cited reason for tech layoffs, a new Forrester study finds most workers still don't know how to use the AI tools their companies deployed, Jack Dorsey argues AI should replace middle management entirely, a startup built an AI coworker that monitors your work and reports to your boss, and OpenAI just bought a media company to control the narrative. Seven stories, one through line: the disruption is real, the timeline is uncertain, and the window to prepare is open right now.

What if your next placement paid $100,000… …but took two years to close? Most recruiters, especially in contingency recruiting or running a recruitment agency, wouldn't go near that model. Darci Smith built her entire business around it. She specializes in moving financial advisors between firms, often transferring hundreds of millions in assets. These are high-stakes, long-cycle deals where trust matters more than speed. In this episode, Darci breaks down how she makes it work. From charging a $5,000 upfront fee, to building a social following that generated $150K in year one, to positioning herself so clients find her through AI search. This is a different way to build a recruitment business. Slower deals. Bigger fees. Stronger relationships.
