Vitality isn't fluff—it's the most powerful predictor of how well you'll age. In this episode of Vitality Made Simple, Dr. Alan Rozanski reframes health through the lens of vitality. He describes vitality as the ‘sum index' of health across six interdependent domains: physical, mental, emotional, social, purpose, and stress. He shares how mindset factors like optimism, gratitude, and forgiveness shape physiology and risk, and why behavioral cardiology emerged to study these links between the heart, brain, and life context.Dr. Rozanski spotlights present-tense returns: small daily wins make you feel and function better now and set up better aging later. He encourages realistic positivity about aging, calls out the health benefits of contribution and volunteering, and emphasizes the power of the first step. Whether starting with a five-minute brisk walk or carving some time to write, momentum builds confidence, optimism, and—ultimately—health.Visit my website DrDebbieOzment.com for valuable free downloads.

Are you a small business owner feeling overwhelmed by AI? You're not alone. While enterprise companies throw massive budgets at custom AI solutions, you're wondering how to get started without breaking the bank or spending hours learning complex prompts.In this episode, I sit down with Phil Pallen, author of AI for Small Business and creative branding expert, who reveals the simple framework that's helping small business owners find immediate AI wins. Phil shares his journey from studying media and entertainment business to starting his own branding agency in 2011 when his first three clients - a makeup artist, real estate agent, and jewelry designer - all needed help with social media. He also tells the fascinating story of how a client's suggestion to put his tutorial videos on YouTube led to a major publisher reaching out about writing a book on AI.But here's what makes this conversation different: Phil isn't selling you on the latest shiny AI tool. Instead, he's sharing a practical time-tracking method that helps you identify exactly where AI can make the biggest impact in YOUR business - starting with the tasks you hate doing most.You'll discover why custom GPTs aren't the answer for 95% of businesses, how to use AI projects to organize client conversations for better brand storytelling, and Phil's controversial take on why perfect prompts are a myth. Plus, he reveals the email automation system that saves him hours every week (hint: it's not just AI).Whether you're just getting started with AI or feeling scattered across multiple tools, this episode will help you create a sustainable, systematic approach that makes you better at what you already do - not just faster.What You'll Learn:The 3-question framework for identifying AI opportunities in your businessWhy tracking your time is the secret to finding AI quick winsHow to organize AI conversations using projects (and why custom GPTs usually aren't worth it)Phil's email automation system that handles affiliate pitches automaticallyThe tools Phil uses daily for client work and content creationWhy AI should enhance your excellence, not replace your expertiseCommon pitfalls small business owners make when implementing AILinks Mentioned in This EpisodePhil Pallen's Book: AI for Small Business (Available at all major bookstores)Time Tracking Tools:EverHour: everhourRize: rizeEmail Organization Tools:SaneBox: saneboxSerif: serifAI Tools Discussed:ChatGPT Projects: chat.openai.comCLearn More: Buy Digital Threads: https://nealschaffer.com/digitalthreadsamazon Buy Maximizing LinkedIn for Business Growth: https://nealschaffer.com/maximizinglinkedinamazon Join My Digital First Mastermind: https://nealschaffer.com/membership/ Learn about My Fractional CMO Consulting Services: https://nealschaffer.com/cmo Download My Free Ebooks Here: https://nealschaffer.com/books/ Subscribe to my YouTube Channel: https://youtube.com/nealschaffer All My Podcast Show Notes: https://podcast.nealschaffer.com

It's the result of small, consistent steps taken over five years.And that's exactly the lesson I want to pass on to you. When it comes to health and fitness, it's not about being perfect—it's about progress. One small win at a time.I'll walk you through:Why the myth of overnight success is holding you back in fitness.How even simple swaps—like high-protein yogurt or drinking water before coffee—can add up.Client stories that show how small wins beat extreme diets every time.Why consistency, not perfection, creates lasting results.

In this episode, Dr. Woods highlights a powerful shift for school leaders: learning to recognize and celebrate the small wins that fuel long-term success. Big transformations rarely happen overnight—but small, consistent victories build the momentum that drives lasting change.

Many years ago, I introduced a new format that alongside our regular episodes called “Lessons for Hannah.” Hannah is my daughter and one of the main inspirations for the Misfit Entrepreneur. I wanted to have a place where she could go and learn from her daddy and his Misfit friends throughout her life….even after I am gone. If you haven't listened to the first episode of "Lessons for Hannah," I urge you to as it gives some more background and tells the amazing story of how Hannah came to be in our lives.

Perimenopause is a significant transition for many women, bringing with it a series of hormonal and physical challenges, including often-unexplained weight gain, particularly around the midsection. Health expert Chemaine Linnie, a certified hormone specialist and fitness coach, offers valuable insights from her own 165-pound weight loss journey and years of guiding women through this hormonal shift. Rock Bottom to Transformation Chemaine's personal journey began at her lowest point as a teenage mother in Dublin, weighing 280 pounds. A pivotal moment—her sister cutting her out of a dress—ignited her resolve: "That was my rock bottom. That's when I promised myself I would never go back". Through discipline, education, and a new passion for fitness, she transformed her life, eventually moving to Canada and becoming a respected wellness figure. However, as she and her clients aged, new obstacles emerged. The Real Culprit Contrary to popular belief, Chemaine emphasizes that perimenopausal weight gain isn't solely due to estrogen or a slowing metabolism. Instead, she points to adrenaline dominance and blood sugar imbalances as the primary culprits. Symptoms like irritability, sleep disturbances, rage, low libido, hot flashes, and night sweats are often indicators of high adrenaline and low progesterone, not just estrogen. The demanding modern lifestyle, especially in places like Canada, exacerbates these issues, with women juggling numerous responsibilities and feeling guilty about managing stress. Sleep: Your Secret Weapon Before diving into complicated protocols, Chemaine always starts with one thing: sleep. Not just any sleep, but deep, restorative sleep that allows your hormones to reset. Her approach is surprisingly simple. Screens off before bed. Magnesium supplementation. High-dose GABA – 1,500 mg or more. Create a quiet wind-down ritual that signals to your nervous system that it's safe to rest. When you sleep better, everything else falls into place. You make better food choices. You have energy to move your body. You feel more in control instead of constantly reacting. The next step is hormone balance. Bioidentical progesterone – what Chemaine calls "the hormone of vitality and sanity" – often plummets before estrogen does. When it's restored, you get better sleep, fewer cravings, stable moods, and even restored libido. Small Wins, Big Results Weight gain during perimenopause isn't your body betraying you. It's your body sending up flares, asking for support. The solution isn't another restrictive diet or punishing workout routine. It's about understanding what your body actually needs. Chemaine's philosophy is refreshingly realistic. Forget dramatic transformations and all-or-nothing approaches. Focus on small wins: improving one meal at a time, adding a 30-minute walk, aiming for just one pound per week. It's not flashy, but it's sustainable. As Chemaine puts it: "We deserve to live again." Your forties and fifties aren't about accepting decline – they're about reclaiming your vitality with wisdom you didn't have in your twenties. In this podcast you'll learn... Why willpower doesn't work for weight loss in perimenopause (and what to do instead)  Why most women aren't getting real rest—and the sleep protocol that changes everything  How bioidentical progesterone can restore your sense of self Why small, consistent changes beat dramatic overhauls every single time   EPISODE RESOURCES: Website Instagram Facebook Youtube

This is the Live Call-in Show from this past Sunday night, July 13, 2025!  Mike was solo on tonight's show, but it was no problem as we had some great calls to take us through the hour!  We discussed how this summer turned out a bit differently that Mike thought it might have a couple of years ago - WDW is collecting a bunch of "small wins" and Epic Universe isn't burning quite as hot as he thought it might be.  Also, we discussed ideas of a new Deluxe Resort with more of an "in-your-face" Disney theme.  Would you enjoy this?  We also talked about when your "WDW Golden Days" were, and if they were from your first trips to Walt Disney World!  This and much more on today's show!  Come join us in the BOGP Clubhouse this week at www.beourguestpodcast.com/discord.  Please visit our website at www.beourguestpodcast.com.  Thank you so much for your support of our podcast!
