Podcasts about Smoothing

Are you an accounting firm owner, managing partner, or CPA starting a firm who wants to achieve rapid growth without losing your sanity? In this episode of Growing Your Firm, host David Cristello sits down with Ben Curtis, co-founder and CEO of Good Measure Financial. Ben shares the inside story of how his firm transitioned from a slow, intentional build to adding 4 full-time employees in just 90 days during a massive growth spurt. Whether you are an operations manager looking for better workflow systems or a leader interested in the Entrepreneurial Operating System (EOS), this episode provides a tactical roadmap for scaling a remote-first accounting business. What You'll Learn in This Episode: 1. The 50/50 Partnership Model: How Ben manages a firm with a "fractional" co-founder while maintaining clear role definitions and a healthy 50/50 ownership split. 2. EOS Lite for Accounting Firms: Why Ben uses the Vision Traction Organizer (VTO) and L10 meetings to keep his team of 10 aligned, and what parts of EOS he chose to discard. 3. Capacity & Production KPIs: A deep dive into why Good Measure Financial still tracks time and how they use Effective Hourly Rate and Actuals vs. Budget to protect profit margins. 4. Smoothing the Workflow: Tactics for implementing weekly workflows to eliminate the "peak and valley" stress of month-end close. 5. Founder-Led Sales & Relationship Deposits: How Ben's long-term "relational deposits" led to a flood of new clients from churches and nonprofits.

Love alone isn't always enough to keep everyone under one roof feeling connected and secure. Despite the dream of harmony and the promise of new beginnings, many families find themselves struggling with uncertainty, misaligned expectations, and recurring conflicts that love simply can't resolve. Is it possible to create a sense of "home" where everyone feels seen, heard, and supported—without sacrificing your relationship or your own well-being? In this episode, listeners will discover why building a thriving blended family isn't just about love—it's about creating alignment through clear roles, structure, and intentional communication. The conversation explores the real-life challenges that stepfamilies and modern families face, including competing parenting philosophies, the presence of ex-partners, and loyalty struggles with children. Listeners will learn actionable strategies such as the Pause, Align, and Present method for unified parenting, tips for connecting before correcting, and ways to foster trust and emotional safety while honoring everyone's unique needs. Get ready to transform overwhelm into clarity, and confusion into a cooperative partnership—one step at a time. April is a licensed marriage and family therapist, stepfamily expert, and founder of Couples Thrive. She specializes in helping modern couples, especially those in blended families, create emotional safety, reduce conflict, and parent as a united team. She is trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), one of the most research-backed approaches for couples, and her work has been featured in national outlets like Psychology Today and the Gottman Institute.   Episode Highlights 06:09 Unique challenges blended families face as they merge different histories and systems. 09:56 Building alignment through clear structure and defined expectations. 12:24 Navigating family differences with the 60-30-10 rule. 14:19 Smoothing family life with weekly check-ins and defined roles. 19:09 Setting realistic expectations and practicing patience in blended families. 23:22 Overcoming common challenges through preparation and planning. 25:22 Unifying parenting decisions with the Pause, Align, and Present method. 28:13 Modeling teamwork and authentic connection during disagreements. 31:34 Building mutual respect through the power of pausing. 35:58 Balancing parental authority while empowering children's voices. 39:36 Building trust as a stepparent by navigating loyalty binds. 43:19 Fostering respectful communication with clear boundaries and rules. 46:40 Helping blended families thrive with expert tools and support.   Your Check List of Actions to Take Start a shared journal or Notes app with your partner to track moments of alignment and areas of struggle throughout the week. Set aside time for a weekly alignment conversation where you review your journal and discuss patterns and sticky points together. Establish clear roles and expectations in your family system, considering each person's strengths and the needs of the children. Practice the "Pause, Align, and Present" method in moments of disagreement: pause the discussion, align privately, and then present a unified decision to the family. Use a 60-30-10 rule—aim for 60% compromise, navigate 30% gray areas, and allow 10% flexibility for the sake of peace. Involve children appropriately by hearing their voices and feelings, but maintain parental authority when making decisions. For stepparents, focus on connection before correction—build rapport and trust first before stepping into disciplinary roles. Regularly review your family values, using "we language" and modeling respectful communication, especially during challenging transitions or conflicts.   Mentioned Stepfamilies: Love, Marriage, and Parenting in the First Decade (*Amazon Affiliate link) (book) ERP 313: How To Become A Successful Blended Family — An Interview With Ron Deal ERP 256: The Mistakes People Make When Blending Families And What To Do Instead – An Interview With Tracy Poizner Shifting Criticism For Connected Communication (free guide)   Connect with April Eldemire Website: couples-thrive.com Facebook: facebook.com/AprilEldemire YouTube: youtube.com/@couplesthrive Instagram: instagram.com/couplesthrive LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/april-eldemire-lmft-8a8b3059 TikTok: tiktok.com/@couples_thrive

In this episode of The Scratch Golfer's Mindset Podcast, I sit down with my mentor, world-renowned mindset and performance coach, Elliot Roe. Together, we engage in a power discussion to unpack what truly separates high performers from the rest—how to release subconscious resistance, redefine balance, and access peak states on demand. Elliot reveals why detachment from results is a prerequisite for sustained success, how subconscious childhood patterns quietly sabotage progress, and the science behind hypnosis as a tool for lasting transformation. He also dives into the relationship between identity, fear, and indecision—and how understanding these elements can elevate your performance on the course, in business, and in life. In this episode, you'll learn: How to balance ambition and detachment to perform your best under pressure. Why "invisible resistance" keeps you stuck—and how to finally remove it. The neuroscience of hypnosis and how it reprograms limiting beliefs. How identity and subconscious stories shape performance and self-worth. A simple exercise to reveal the habits separating you from elite performers. Why fear of success and fear of failure are two sides of the same coin. How presence—not anger or intensity—fuels true peak performance. Whether you're chasing your next big win, breaking 80, or scaling your company, this conversation offers tactical frameworks and mindset shifts to help you remove the invisible brakes and unlock your true potential. Get your pencils ready and start listening.  P.P.S. Curious to learn more about the results my clients are experiencing and what they say about working with me? Read more here.

Build a non-variance win: Add a weekly pursuit (gym, BJJ, etc.) with incremental progress so your self-worth isn't hostage to poker/golf/markets. Calendar = truth: Audit your week. If sleep, family, training, and mindset work aren't scheduled, your goals are fantasy. Clear the landmines first: Use hypnosis/subconscious work to neutralize old emotional triggers so you're not "driving with the brakes on." Identity follows behavior: List what the best in your field do, mark what you're avoiding, and face those reps—belief grows after action. Indecision is ego-protection: Not deciding preserves the story "I'd win if I tried." Decide, act, and let data reshape the story. Presence beats anger: Elite performance (golf, trading, UFC, business) comes from calm focus and recovery skills—not rage or intensity. Key Quotes: "If you know what to do and can't bring yourself to do it, you don't need a strategy coach—you need a mindset coach." "Balance isn't a weakness. It's a performance enhancer." "You can't separate who you are off the course from who shows up on the course." "Indecision is ego protection—it lets you believe you'd succeed if you tried." "Fear of failure and fear of success both whisper the same lie: I'm not enough." "Our work as coaches is to file down the edges of the cube until it rolls smoothly—until you're in flow." "You are not your issues. They're learned patterns—and they can be unlearned."

This week, Hackaday's Elliot Williams and Kristina Panos met up over the tubes to bring you the latest news, mystery sound, and of course, a big bunch of hacks from the previous seven days or so. In Hackaday news, we've got a new contest running! Read all about the 2025 Component Abuse Challenge, sponsored by DigiKey, and check out the contest page for all the details. In sad news, American Science & Surplus are shuttering online sales, leaving just the brick and mortar stores in Wisconsin and Illinois. On What's That Sound, it's a results show, which means Kristina gets to take a stab at it. She missed the mark, but that's okay, because [Montana Mike] knew that it was the theme music for the show Beakman's World, which was described by one contestant as "Bill Nye on crack". After that, it's on to the hacks and such, beginning with a really cool way to smooth your 3D prints in situ. JWe take a much closer look at that talking robot's typewriter-inspired mouth from about a month ago. Then we discuss several awesome technological feats such as running code on a PAX credit card payment machine, using the alphabet as joinery, and the invention of UTF-8 in general. Finally, we discuss the detection of spicy shrimp, and marvel at the history of email. Check out the links over on Hackaday if you want to follow along, and as always, tell us what you think about this episode in the comments!

Should you train differently for Ironman Wisconsin and Lake Placid than you do for Florida or California? The answer is, yes. Today we talk about the differences in swim, bike, and run training for different courses. We talk about the the grime and grind of tougher swims and rides vs. downstream swims and flatter bikes. They all have their challenges and we get into upper body strength, riding hills, staying in aero, more or less swim training, and how it all affects your run. We also talk about how you can train more specifically to meet the demands of your race, no matter what it is. Lower back sore on the bike? Neck hurt after the swim? Should you ride more big gear or high cadence? It's all in today's episode.

In the last email, we talked about sketching out your UX strategy. Not a polished final document, but a draft that clarifies your direction and invites collaboration.But that strategy is only useful if people buy into it. And that means you now need to switch hats: from strategist to storyteller.That's what this week is all about: how to present your vision in a way that gets your colleagues and leadership on board.Don't Just Present. Involve.The biggest mistake I see people make is showing up to stakeholders with a "here's what I'm going to do" approach. Instead, try:Here's what I'm thinking. What's your take?That small shift does two powerful things:It invites others into the process, giving them a sense of ownership.It makes it harder for them to say no later because they helped shape it.A strategy that's co-created is much more likely to be supported and championed. But to create something together effectively, you need to truly understand who you're working with.Understand Your Stakeholders Like You Understand Your UsersWe're great at user research. We'll run interviews, analyze data, and build personas to understand end users.But when it comes to internal stakeholders? We often just... guess. Or worse, we get frustrated when they don't see things our way.So flip the script: do your research. Talk to stakeholders one-on-one. Ask them what their priorities are. What challenges they're facing. What success looks like for them this quarter or this year.Then map your strategy to those things. This leads us to an important realization: your strategy needs to be flexible enough to speak to different audiences.One Vision, Many VersionsWhen it comes time to share your strategy, don't use the same pitch for everyone.A marketing lead wants to hit quarterly targets. A finance director cares about cost savings. A project manager is drowning in dependencies and missed deadlines.So don't talk generically about improving the user experience. Talk about:Reducing churn (for marketing)Cutting support call volume (for finance)Smoothing collaboration (for project management)Make your strategy speak their language. The more personal the value, the more likely they'll back your plan. And speaking of personal value...Solve Their Pain, Not Just YoursAnother powerful approach is to speak directly to pain points.If your UX team is seen as a bottleneck, talk about how your strategy empowers others to take on basic UX tasks themselves. If product managers are stressed about missing targets, show how better UX will help users complete key tasks faster.The question to answer is: what's in it for them? And sometimes, the best way to answer that question is through storytelling.Tell a Story That SticksLet me give you a quick example. I once watched a waitress struggle to take our order on a clunky app. It took ages. So I started calculating: how many seconds lost per table? Per day? Per restaurant? Across the entire chain?It added up to hundreds of thousands in wasted wages.That's the kind of story you can tell. You're not just saying "bad UI wastes time." You're showing how much money is on the table.If you can connect your UX strategy to tangible outcomes (even if they're estimates), it will land so much better with management. But remember, while stories are powerful, timing is everything.Mix Short-Term Wins With Long-Term ValueLet's be honest. Most leaders are focused on next quarter's results, not next year's vision.So give them both.Yes, your UX work might improve retention or reduce churn, but also talk about what you can do now. Can you run a quick usability test that reduces support tickets? Can you tweak a key flow that lifts conversion rates?Make it clear your strategy delivers both immediate impact and long-term value. Now, let's put all of this into action.Your Action StepThis week, identify 2 to 3 key stakeholders.Book a quick chat with each one. Ask what they're working toward. Listen for pain points.Then write down:What they care aboutHow your strategy helpsThe best way to frame your pitch to themWe'll build on this next time when we dive deeper into how to present your ideas to management effectively, especially when things get political.

Send us a textDo you ever find yourself critiquing others' spiritual journeys while comfortably sitting on the sidelines? In this heartfelt devotional, we explore how surprisingly easy it is to become spiritual critics rather than compassionate guides—much like shouting advice at cooking show contestants from our couches when we couldn't handle the pressure ourselves.Drawing from personal experience, I share my early struggles with a critical spirit that hindered rather than helped my witness for Christ. The turning point came through David's humble prayer in Psalm 51, "Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right and steadfast spirit within me." This scripture reminds us that transformation begins within before it can overflow to others. Jesus never commanded us to tell people how bad they are—He called us to share good news.The solution isn't complicated but requires intentionality: spending consistent time in God's presence. Through worship, scripture, and prayer, God smooths our rough edges like a master craftsman. The Bible becomes His refining tool, revealing areas where we need growth while providing the nourishment necessary for transformation. When we allow God to work on our critical spirits, our approach to evangelism naturally shifts from condemnation to invitation, from pointing out darkness to reflecting light.Whether you're feeling spiritually polished or a bit rough around the edges today, take encouragement from this truth: what a difference it makes when, rather than telling people how bad they are, we start showing them how good our God is. Spend some extra time in His presence today, invite His refining touch, and watch how your witness for Him transforms. After all, what you make happen for others, God will make happen for you.Support the show

The demand for power driven by datacenter expansion is a global challenge and European markets are responding with some interesting aspects. With there has been a strong renewable component to energy supply, the complexity of the energy grid has meant that unified approaches were elusive. At the same time energy markets have faced three crises – demand reduction from the COVID pandemic, strong renewable investment and market disruption from the Russian-Ukraine war. Into this congested environment, Power Purchase Agreements (PPA) offer a way to channel investment in new generation capacity. The EU has just announced guarantees for non-investment grade PPA's, creating the possibility for expanded markets and extending the ability to treat them as an addition to commodity markets for energy.  Energy generation projects have become increasingly hybrid, bringing together multiple renewable sources with energy storage. Smoothing out renewable peaks can help it better address base load demand. Nuclear remains an expensive option, with approaches like Small Modular Reactors (SMR) still being a long ways off. There is the potential to have AI improve grid efficiency, by balancing demand and generation, an almost circular relationship, given that it is driving so much of demand. That will require more decentralization of the grid to increase flexibility and the acceptance of cryptographic protections for data sovereignty could allow workload placement near sources of power generation. There is a lot of potential for what has become an urgent issue. More S&P Global Content: What is an 'AI datacenter'?

Can sarcasm or roasting your child play a a positive role in parenting? And what are the consequences for our children when humour goes wrong?  In a large-scale Denmark study, data from 1.1 million people has shown associations between moving house in childhood and increased risk of depression later in life.

PAUSE… NAMASTE, BEAUTIFUL.
