Podcasts about Sop

Episode 400 is a milestone we don't take lightly. In this special episode, we pause to reflect on where we started, how we've evolved, and where we're intentionally headed next. We began in 2015 coaching real estate agents and team leaders—focused on skills, leadership, and building structure in an industry that often lacked it. That work led to online courses, leadership development, and eventually this podcast, where we blended skillset with mindset and tackled both practical strategies and deeper conversations. Along the way, one of our most impactful podcast series—ASK 5—showed us the power of a single question and how many meaningful answers it can reveal. At the same time, Wandering But Not Lost existed as a parallel conversation about nature, balance, clarity, and living well—without a clear plan for integration or monetization. In 2025, everything shifted. We expanded our audience to include conscious entrepreneurs, intentionally built two connected brands—WBNL Coaching and Wandering But Not Lost—and created a unified strategy across podcasting, video, and digital resources. In this episode, we also share where we're headed next: • AI-powered customizable operations manuals for brokers and team leaders • SOP and operations blueprints for small business owners • Updated and expanded training courses • The Clarity Series, Sound Sanctuary, and new tools for movement, mindfulness, and modern life • And a foundational guide that brings everything together Episode 400 isn't a highlight reel—it's a reflection, a reset, and a look forward.

Kiera is here with a gift to make your practice even better: The three most common mistakes dental practices make, and guidance on how to get out of them. Is your practice making one of these mistakes? Delegating tasks without ownership Avoiding hard conversations Flying blind on your numbers Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Hello, Dental A Team listeners, this is Kiera and today is one of my favorite topics of all time. It's how to avoid the pitfalls because I feel like these are costly mistakes that dental practice owners make. We make these costly pitfalls. We go into them. We don't know about them. And you guys, if you know me, I have a mantra and I say, don't lose money. I hate losing money. It's one of my biggest pet peeves and I don't want you to lose money. So I'm excited to talk about it. I hope you guys are excited because...   The reality is like so many people talk about like, success leaves clues and it does, but so does failure. And I I talk about this a lot when I present and when I speak and I say like success and failure are truly not radically different. They're not, they're like small little things. It's like successful practices are consistent. Successful practices put systems in, successful practices look at their KPIs, successful practices have team meetings that are effective. Successful practices have CEO time.   Successful practices have delegation and ownership. Successful practices ⁓ follow through. They look at their case acceptance. They make their re-care calls. They do their reactivation. They do different verbiage. Like that's what they do. Failure practices don't stay consistent. They always have an excuse. They're always blaming. ⁓ They don't check their case acceptance. They don't track their KPIs. They don't look at their numbers. They don't take CEO time. Like these are just little steps. And like with my fingers, if you're just listening, I'm like,   almost like scallops, like if we've got a middle point, success is I checked my KPIs, failure is I didn't check my KPIs. And while that's not like a huge move, it is moving you points away to where you end up either closer to success or closer to failure. And so I think when we realize this, these are the ones, like, how can I help you guys avoid these costs and mistakes? How can I like motivate and inspire you and like, not just motivate, but genuinely change you?   So that way it's not this I like, well, shoot, we're on failure row. Shoot, like, I don't really know about this. Like, I just want to talk about three of the most common mistakes that people make and how do you correct course because you're going to make mistakes. But like if I'm doing the scallops again, successful offices realize like we didn't do the KPIs. So we're going to start doing the KPIs and we don't miss those. We're going to hold the meetings and we don't miss those.   they course correct before they end up in the failure or the success bucket. They're course correcting constantly. And so this is just like where I'm at coaching hundreds and thousands of offices, team members galore, our team, like literally, I feel so blessed that we get to serve so many offices. I just saw like this really awesome highlight reel of all these doctors that came in person and I was watching it with Jason and I look over and Jason's just the sweetest thing. He's tearing up and he said, Kiera.   I knew when you started Dental A Team, it was going to be like, he's like, I never imagined it being what it is today. He said, but all those people's lives, including all of you listening to the podcasts, all of those lives that we've been able to change because of Dental A Team Gosh, that is just such a blessing. It's such a beautiful thing. And I just want to say thank you. Like, thank you for being here. Thank you for being a part of the offices. Thank you for being a part of my Dental A Team podcast family. Thank you for just showing up. Thank you for changing lives through dentistry. Thank you for giving people a gift of confidence. Like,   And for me to be able to give you a gift to make your practice even better, that's what I'm here for. That's what Dental A Team's about. So like we're here to help you recognize patterns. We're here to help you avoid burnout. We're here to help you make small changes before they become giant snowballs. And I think like my thought process has always been I'm here to positively impact the world of dentistry in the greatest way possible. We're here to share this podcast message with every single office out there. We're here to help offices realize like running a successful practice.   does not have to be hard. It can actually be easy. And let's give you the tools, the tips, the resources, all of that to make your life a grand success. So if that sounds great to you, we'll rock on. So step number one, mistake number one that's very costly is delegating tasks without ownership. So like so many offices, hear them like, Kiera, I listened to the podcast and we implemented it, but like it just didn't work out. And I'm like, yeah, cause you delegated it and you didn't have the structure, didn't have the ownership, you didn't have the accountability, you didn't have the metrics. Like, okay.   One of the doctors called this doctor out and they said, this doctor is a walking cheat, like cheat code. Go talk to him, go ask him what he does because he's been able to take his practice for massive success, which is true. When I met them, were doing about 1.5. Now we're clearing five. We're going to be crushing six to seven. And I just like, gosh, the giddiness in me for this office. Like they deserve the sun, the moon, the stars. Like you name it.   They're just such good humans. And so when I think about this, like we're talking, this is a practice that went from like 1.5, 2 million up to this six, $7 million practice now, something I've noticed. And like I said, this doctor is a walking cheat code. They, when we go in and we're like, okay, we're going to roll out this new process. So we're going to do a new process on how we do case acceptance, or we're going do new process on how we do cancellations. They don't just go to the team and be like, all right guys, we're going to do cancellations. They are like, we're going to build an SOP.   we're gonna have a team training, we're gonna have a metric, we're gonna do it for these four weeks. And they don't take a long time to execute on that. So it's like, perfect, we're gonna have this done in the next three weeks. But they execute, it's rolled out, it's like, it's very, very thorough. And this is a practice of a very large team and they all do it consistently. And when something gets off, they just go right back to the SOP, they update the SOP, where was it missed? What do we need to do? Let's do a team training on it. But I will say I've coached hundreds of offices and this is one office that I watch   constantly that is able to delegate, have ownership and be able to have a full team move and stay hyper accountable. So this is just like, you've got to have ownership. You've got to have SOPs. You've got to roll it out to the team, make sure everybody's aware. And then we've got to have the metrics and the check-ins to make sure something's not off. And if it is off, we follow through on it. So people know that when we roll out new processes, they're here to stick. They're not just like a flash in the pan of like, I heard it on a podcast. Let's try it out.   No, it's very, very, very thorough. So a quick check for you is like, go back and look at the last three things that you delegated. Did you assign them? Did you own them? And did you have follow up on it?   crickets. Yeah, yeah, because you did it. Darn it. But you're going to do it in the future. Or maybe you did. And I'm high fiving you. But most of the time, people don't. And this is so costly because then you can't ever be free. You think you're moving. You're taking one step forward, but you're actually taking like 500 steps backwards because nothing's actually getting delegated. Nothing's actually moving forward. And you're only relying on your A plus star players that are building all these ownership accountability pieces. And people are like, but I want everybody to be that way. And I'm like, human nature is not. Tell me how you're doing on your New Year's.   resolutions, probably not great because human nature by default doesn't stay accountable. Why do think I'm in business? because people, they know what they need to do. People are like, Kiera, I pay you to tell me like what to do that you do on the podcast. And it's like, yeah, because human nature is not follow through. Why do I pay a gym trainer? I've got all the resources, I got all the tools. I need somebody to literally hold me accountable to make me show up to work out. So look at the last three tasks. Did you delegate them? Was their ownership?   Did you follow up on them? Did they have a metric? If not, it up, fix that and start to delegate with ownership and accountability. So mistake number two, are you guys ready for this? It's avoiding hard conversations. ⁓ man, that's a crowd drop off. This is so real though, because we don't have like Patrick Lanziani has the five dysfunctions of a team. And if you and your team have not read this, I highly recommend it's a very easy fable. Have it as like some like,   evening reading. It's so fast, it's so easy and it's very, very great. And I think it's a reread. So if you've listened to it in the past or you read it, maybe do a reread. ⁓ But when we don't have trust and vulnerability and then we don't have healthy debate, AKA hard conversations, what happens is like little small issues become cracks and cracks aren't bad. But if cracks stay there, they actually break and then it becomes toxic and then it arose the entire team. So in leadership, we've got to have, let's like,   I coached his office. guys might know him. He's incredible. ⁓ They've got a lot of offices. think I did seven office visits ⁓ in three days. We were hauling booty. And I love this doctor because he pays for me to come in to coach his teams, to teach them how to have uncomfortable conversations, to remind them like this is why we're here. And the more we have just a few of these and we get away from the fear of discomfort.   and wanting to keep the peace, which is actually artificial harmony, we like care, we align and we move forward. And we use the sports analogy on this of, can you just imagine like pick your favorite sports team, basketball, baseball, soccer, I don't care what it is. Can you imagine for one second, like we'll just use basketball for instance, or football. Like if the quarterback or the point guard goes in, like let's do football, because they get thrashed. Like if that quarterback gets thrashed because his defensive line is not protecting for him.   or no one's open because they didn't follow the play, can you just imagine if that quarterback runs off the field and is like, hey coach, could you tell the defensive line to cover for me next time? Like absolutely not. Or if that quarterback is just like, I'm just so angry with my defensive line. Like they didn't block for me. Like, no, can you imagine? Like, no, they call it out. Like you got a freaking block for me. Like we need to win this game. I need this to happen. And they do it in real time because everybody on the team,   is committed to winning and they call each other in real time of their blind spots. Like my brother said, I'll play basketball. I played tennis. You got to call it in the moment. Like my dad is like, you got to call it in real time. You got to say, Hey, I need you to block. I need you to box out for me. I need you to like throw the ball. Like I'm here. Like I need you guys to get open, whatever it is. But like, if we can get a little bit better, that that's our culture rather than a, we sit here pretending to be perfect, but ultimately hating each other.   and hate's probably a strong word, but creating gaps. And so what I encourage is we normalize uncomfortable conversations. We normalize and encourage it. We push on peer to peer accountability. We have each other instead of it being up to the coach, AKA office manager or doctor, to each other, peer to peer, to where we talk about it. We wanna get the W, we wanna win. And so helping your team realize that this is going to be the best way for us to win is to have these hard conversations.   And it's not, I say it's not confrontation. It's just a conversation. Like let's take that hard out of there, but let's say what needs to happen. And so I would say, doctors, one of the worst things you can do to your great players is to tolerate the poor performance of a lower player. ⁓ Because they're watching you. They're watching to see standards are not what you say. They're what you tolerate. And so when you're A plus players are watching, like, well, doctor is going to do this constantly or doctors are not going to care about that. Now team members, can rise up and you can take care of things too.   Doctors, we've also got to make sure that we're encouraging and we're having the hard conversations too. I don't think you know how much I do not enjoy hard conversations, but I know as a leader, as a boss, as a CEO, as a consultant, I have got to have the hard conversations and I'm going to keep having them. They're not easy, but they are my responsibility and I'm going to show up as a good team member because actually that's better than living in artificial harmony. It's so much better. So there's a great quote.   If you want it, your success and happiness, that's my add on your success and happiness are directly proportional to the number of uncomfortable conversations you're willing to have. So if you want to grow, if you want to rise, how many of you look at your KPIs or your numbers like, gosh, freaking schedule is not full. Like, oh, like our profitability, like, but I go to my team meetings and I'm like, great job guys, you're doing great. Why don't we call it out? Hey, profitability is not where it needs to be.   What are our solutions to get it to where it needs to be? I'm not being a jerk. I'm not sitting here sizzling. Hey, our schedule is not up to goal. What are we doing to get that fixed? Let's have a conversation. Let's fix it. Let's normalize that. That's calling out in real time. Hey, our schedule is not to goal. Like what's our solution? How are we going to get there? It's like it's a huddle. It's a genuine huddle. Think about sports players. Like they get together. Like you need to block. I need you to call that person. I need you to do this. You guys need to call that all the hygienists. If you've got downtime, call seven patients, whatever it is. That's how we get the W.   something rude, let's normalize that we are a team. We call each other out. We celebrate when we win. Also like on the flip, like let's go to basketball, let's go to football. When they score a touchdown, the whole team that was just calling each other out of like, I need you to block, I need you to do this. They also go to the end zone and they freaking celebrate. They lift each other up, they're high-fiving. It's both. So let's make sure that we're calling each other out and normalizing that. And we're also celebrating and normalizing that as well. So this is something of, I would just encourage you to have   one honest conversation, and also I'd recommend in your next team meeting, let's have this if that's a standard, put it up in the break room. We normalize hard conversations. We encourage hard conversations. We are a company that does not sit in artificial harmony. Whatever it is, plaster that, build that into your culture. This is something you've got to like, if you guys could see, I'm like boxing out, like I'm pushing the defense. Like you've got to push this through all the way for you guys to get this to be that and to avoid that costly mistake.   All right, mistake number three. This one should come as a no brainer. You guys know I love numbers and numbers love me. It's flying blind on your numbers. So I think that production feeds the ego, profit feeds the family. So when I look at this, so many doctors are like, well, Kiera, I know you say that the numbers are there, but I don't have any money. And I'm like, yes, but making haphazard, crazy decisions because you're not looking at your numbers and you're not using them as a roadmap, you're just   flying by the seat your pants. And so when you look at this, you've got to know like, here's just a, guess, I guess to help you see like, am I flying blind on my numbers or do I maybe know my numbers? Question number one, what's your breakeven number? Now that's twofold. What's the breakeven number on the practice and what's the breakeven number paying you? Two questions, okay? My question is, what is your overhead on your supplies? What percent, what is your current overhead?   What is your debt services taken out of your overhead? What is your EBITDA? What is your net profit? AKA cashflow. Of that profit, are you saving your taxes? Hmm, something to think about. Fascinating, right? That's how you know. And if you can't answer those questions right now.   I know you're probably flying a little blind. Maybe you even just have like a eye patch on. That's okay. Maybe you're only half blind, not all the way blind. Or maybe you're like, Kiera, I'm walking in the dark. I don't even know any of that. don't even know where to find the PNL. It's fine. Wherever you are, you've got to get this dialed. Like I am a sticky broken record. haven't talked to her. Oh man, I'm so excited. She's going to get on podcast with me. And last year we were chatting and she was like, Kiera, like we were debating. Is she going to join consulting? Is she not going to join consulting? And she's like,   I have got to get profitable. And I said, all right, rock on, challenge accepted. We are going to get you profitable. I have been a broken record with this poor doctor for an entire year. It's production, profit, production, profit, production, profit, production, profit. Head down, produce, make sure your team's collecting and make sure we're profitable. That is what we've done all year long. And guess what? Come the end of the year, she's like, Kiera, I have so much money, I got to pay taxes on it. Like we did it.   and she did it in 11 months. So production, profit, production, profit. If you're producing, but you're not collecting and you're not looking at your numbers, you're not going to be profitable. If you're not planning for taxes and you're not saving for taxes, you're not gonna be profitable. If you don't know what your breakeven is on the practice and then what the breakeven is and what it needs to produce with you in there, you can't project this out and you can't forecast it and we can't figure out what your daily goal needs to be. And then you're just producing for the sake of producing for your ego.   Who was that a rank? Could you tell us there? If you like that email me Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. I might rap it. You guys, I used to have a rapper name Skittlez with a Z so I could wrap with Eminem. Tell Eminem I'd love to wrap with him. I've never gotten that far, but you know, Skittlez, Skittlez and Eminem. I don't know why I just told you that. Email me Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. If you think I should be Skittlez and rap it out. I'd love to hear from you. I genuinely love a good pen pal. So write me. But you've got to know your numbers. You have to.   non-negotiable. And this is, think, where accountability as a coach comes into play. I force our clients with our consultants to know their numbers. We call it the yes model. You've got to have your vision. That's the Y. E stands for earnings. You've got to be profitable, non-negotiable, otherwise go be an associate. And S stands for systems and team development. If we know the vision, when we look at the numbers, it's going to tell us the systems and team development we need to do, period. Period. That's the formula. That's all it is. So if you're flying blind on your numbers, like, ugh.   Guys, I'm scratching my head over here. This is stress. If you ever see me fluff my hair, it means I'm stressed, okay? My team has told me they're like, Kiera, what you do is it's a little like side fluff. And right now it's both hands fluff. Like I'm stressed out for you because I used to fly blind on numbers. So many clients flying by on non-numbers. They don't look at it. They've got multi-practices and they don't break it down. You guys, these are costly pitfalls. So remember, go back to the success and failure. They're not radically different. It's failure to look at the numbers.   It's failure to say like, I don't care if you don't know numbers or not, I don't know numbers either. But guess what? Kiera freaking loves numbers and numbers freaking love Kiera. That is how this works. It is, I'm going to force myself to learn this. You guys, on my goal board, I'm not joking you. I should like take pictures of this so you guys can see it. In my bedroom, Jason and I made this like joint goal board. If you guys wanna get your spouse involved in your life, cause you feel like you're just driving and growing without them.   Joint goal board between the two of us has been amazing and it sits in our bedroom. It's not pretty It was built on Canva. It cost me eight bucks. It took us a Sunday to do it together But I literally have this like sign and it says tax expert ahead. I Did not know taxes. I was getting burned every single year I was crying every single December and I was like I am never doing this again I'm going to become a freaking tax expert. I started reading books on it. I called up the CPAs. I started researching it I was like, okay, it's just a formula. Yes, of course. They're like all these ways I can reduce it   But at the end of the day, it's really just a very simple formula. Whatever my profit is, whatever my tax bracket is, I know, yes, yes, yes, yes, yes, this is a very simplified version. CPAs don't come after me right now. It's just truly like, if I can take that, I'm always gonna have a slush and I'm not gonna cry. And I figured it out. And for you, I want you to take it on like, you're gonna learn taxes. You're going to be profitable. I want your goal for 2026, 2027, 2028, 29, 30, 31, 32, 33, forever that you are profitable always.   I have a mantra and I say, Kiera Dent does not lose money. And I want you to be the same way. Always profitability, profitability, profitability, get the production, get the profitability. We got to, and again, the way we increase profit, increase production, increase collections, decrease costs. Those are the three levers. So look at the numbers, get your team bought in. This is a costly mistake that I don't want you to make. So commit that by Friday, you will have a KPI scorecard in place, or you're going to call Dental A Team.   TheDentalATeam.com go on over, email me, hello, book a call, whatever it is, I will help you out, but you are going to learn your numbers. There's no more excuses. It's not that hard. I promise you, our fee will offset the amount of money you are going to make. Most of our clients are like a two to one, eight to one, 10 to one ratio, meaning we are making that much more money. So a 10 to 30 % increase in production, 30 % would be a three to one ratio. Like you guys, it's insanity what we're able to do for offices. I love it. We usually pay for ourselves in the first couple of months.   So it's 100 % worth it. Know your numbers. You just knowing your numbers and tracking and measuring will make you more profitable. So don't be the person that has these costs and mistakes. You gotta take ownership. Like bottom line, the way we had this, mistake number one, delegating tasks and not having ownership. So think back to that. We gotta delegate like that office I told you about. Again, this is a $7 million practice. You wanna be like a $7 million? Do the things today to be the $7 million practice.   You've got to have the hard conversations, normalize that, have that be a part of your culture. And number three is you've got to freaking know those numbers. I love numbers, numbers love me. And if you're not great at this, that's why I've got the podcast. That's why we're here. Reach out, Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. Do not do this alone. Do not spend another minute struggling through these costly pitfalls. You don't deserve it. Your team doesn't deserve it. Your patients don't deserve it. So reach out, it's time. Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. But please commit to yourself that you're going to do this.   You're not failing. You're not clear over the failure bucket. You're just a few little shifts away from it. And again, remember success and failure are not radically different. They're just small little micro steps. You can quickly make those back and get closer to where you actually want to be. It's not huge. It's not hard. It's not all these crazy things. It's small incremental changes that are going to radically change your life. So make the call, make the changes, commit. You're worth it. You deserve it. And as always, I'm cheering you on forever and ever.   I'm here on your team. I'm here in your corner. I'm here in your air pod. Wherever I'm at, just know I'm rooting for you. You deserve it. Let's do this together. Let's have you do this on your own, whatever it's going to be, but commit to not having these costly mistakes be your mistakes. And as always, thanks for listening. I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Last week we took a look at Claude Code, both on the Trust Insights podcast and on the live stream. Katie, you and I did some pretty cool stuff with it outside of that for our own company. Here’s the big question everybody wants an answer to—at least people who are in charge. And I want to hear your answer to this because I have an answer that’s a terrible answer. The answer is this. With the capabilities of AI today, and as they’re growing and becoming more autonomous, do I as a leader—do I hire, retrain, or outsource, or figure out the fourth category? Replace with AI? Hire, retrain, outsource, replace with AI. So, Katie, when you think about the people management at any company with that big 800-pound gorilla in the room called AI, how do you think about this? Katie Robbert: To borrow a phrase from Christopher S. Penn, it depends. And you knew I was going to say that. It really depends on what the responsibility is. So for those of us in the service industry—consulting—we have clients, customers. There’s still an expectation of human-to-human contact and relationship management, client services, really. So that I feel like unless that expectation goes away, which there’s a reason you’re in that industry in the first place, that I don’t see being able to replace. But then when you go behind the scenes, there’s a lot of tasks that can be automated, and that’s what you and I were working on at the end of last week. And so that to your question of, well, if the person is only just talking to the clients, why do I need someone full time? It really, again, it really depends on how many clients you have, how high maintenance they are, how much relationship you want to build with them. I am coming around on automating more stuff that someone, a human, could be doing or was doing. I am coming around on that. But when I look at my own role, what it’s doing is freeing me up to actually do what I’m supposed to be doing in my role versus being in the weeds. Whereas someone who isn’t me may have the opposite happening where this is all that they do. And so I see it personally as an opportunity for whoever is in that role of, “I’m doing things, just repetitive tasks.” They can either choose, “Okay, I’ve been automated out, I’m going to go find someplace else that hasn’t quite caught up with the technology yet,” or it’s an opportunity to really deep dive into critical thinking, to really look around and go, “Well, if I’m not doing this, what could I be doing? What am I not getting to that I have time for?” That’s the way that I personally think about it. And with the teams that I’ve managed, regardless of the technology, there’s always going to be something to take things off your plate, more team members to delegate to. That’s always my first go-to is what can you do with this time that you have back? And if their answer is, “Well, nothing,” okay, great. So I really, instead of me—and again, I know I’m unique—but instead of me saying, “Okay, you no longer have a job, I’ve automated you out,” I always try to give the person the choice of, “Okay, we’ve automated a lot of your stuff. What does that mean for you?” To see where their head is at. And that tells me a lot of what I need to know. Christopher S. Penn: I can definitely see it. Particularly thinking back to our agency days and the different personalities, there were certainly some people who, given the extra time, would have taken the initiative and said, “Okay, I’m going to do these eight other things.” And one person in particular who is fairly bossy to begin with, definitely would have. Katie Robbert: It wasn’t me. Christopher S. Penn: No, no. Would definitely have taken the initiative to try new things. There are other people who would have just said, “Okay, well, so instead of eight hours of tasks a day, I have four.” “So the other four, I’m literally just going to stare off into space vacantly.” Given those personalities then, and when you get a response back, say from that second archetype, if you will, where they just vacantly stare off into space for four hours a day, how do you manage that? What do you do with that human capital? Because certainly, as an organization gets larger, and you look at a company like IBM, for example, 300,000 employees, you could see that there might be a case to say, “We don’t need a hundred thousand of you,” because there’s so much slack in the system that you could easily, with good automation, consolidate that down. Katie Robbert: Here’s the thing about management that I think a lot of people get wrong. And to be fair, I think you do as well. You can’t change people. You can’t bend them to your will. You can’t say, “This is how it is, this is what you have to do.” People will self-select out. If you present them with, “These are the options that you have,” it might not be an immediate thing. There may be some willful resistance, some delusion, whatever, of, “No, I can totally do that.” What I’ve learned as a manager: If you have that person who had eight hours of stuff to do, now only has four, and they’re going to stare at the wall, you revise their job description accordingly. You rewrite, you revise their salary accordingly, legally providing it. You don’t just say, “Okay, I’m taking away half your money now,” or you give them a bunch of other things to do, and they may say, “Okay, I don’t want to do those things.” I think what I’m circling around is that people, to your point, some people will take the initiative, some people won’t. You can’t teach that. That is innately part of someone’s personality. You know me, Chris. You give me an inch, I’m like, “Great, I’m going to run the company.” Christopher S. Penn: Funny how that works. Katie Robbert: Yeah. So, I’m someone, if you give me a little bit more free time back, I’m like, “Great, what else can I do?” Not everyone is like that. And that’s okay. So that means that as a manager—as frustrating as it is as a leader—people will self-select out. And the people who don’t, those are the stragglers that, “Okay, now we need to think about counseling you out.” We need to coach you out of this so that you can see it’s either no longer a fit, you have to do more, whatever the situation is. And so to your question about, as we find more ways to automate the tasks, what do we do with the humans? And that’s my response: You give people the choice, you let them figure out what it is they’re going to do. Now, full disclosure, there are people who are not a good fit for your company, 100%. And that’s okay. And that’s when you make decisions that are really hard. You have challenging conversations. That happens. You can’t just blanket give everybody the choice. But that’s why I’m saying it’s a complicated answer. It depends. So when I think about our old team, everyone across the board who was on our old team, not everyone on that team was a good fit. Not everyone on that team would have been given the choice of, “Okay, we’re automating. Do you want to do more? Do you want to do?” Some people, you just know, “Okay, this is just not going to work.” So let’s start those conversations now. But being really honest and upfront: “This is the direction the team is moving in. This is where we see you. I don’t see that those two things are a good fit. We can either find you a different spot in the company or we can assist you to find other employment.” I feel like you just need to be fair to the people to be, “I’m not just going to fire you on the spot because I’ve found out AI is a shiny object.” You need to really be thoughtful again. I get it. Not everyone does this. Not everyone has the luxury to do it. But this would be my ideal state: having a conversation with every team member to be, “This is where we’re headed. Do you want to go with us or do you want to go someplace else? If you want to go someplace else, we will support you in that.” Christopher S. Penn: So you’re hitting on something really important, which is what is the archetype, if you will, or archetypes of that AI-enabled employee? The person who, given AI, given tools, good tools, is self-motivated to say, “What else can I do? What cool things can I do?” Kind of a tinkerer almost, but still gets the work done first. Who is that? What are the durable skills or soft skills that make up that personality? Obviously, self-motivation and curiosity are part of it. And then this is the part that I think everyone’s really interested in: How do we find and hire them? How do we determine in an interview this person is an AI-enabled employee who has that drive and that motivation to want to be more, and they don’t need their handheld to do it. Katie Robbert: I guess the first thing I would say is don’t call them AI-enabled because. I say that because you’re mixing the two different skill sets. I wrote about this last year. We’re not calling them soft skills anymore because they’re actually more important than you can teach anyone how to follow an SOP, but you can’t teach someone to be motivated. You can’t teach someone to be curious. So I made the argument that quote unquote, soft skills were more important than these hard skills, which are technology. So you can’t teach that. The way that I approach interviews is just having a conversation. To me, it’s less about asking. Obviously, you have questions that you have to ask: Do you know this technology? Have you had this challenge? What is this process? So and so forth. You need to get that baseline of experience. But then again, I recognize that not everyone has the luxury of doing this the way that I do it. But, given an ideal state, it’s just a conversation. So some of the questions that I remember Chris asked me during our interview, when you first interviewed me, were: What kind of books are you reading? What podcast do you listen to? I feel like those are really good questions because they tell you, is this person interested in learning more or are they just, it’s a 9 to 5. Once 5 o’clock hits, I’m checking out, which is totally respectable. Once 5 o’clock hits, I check out as well. But I try to do the most that I can within the time that I have. So, ideally there would be a blend of personal interests and professional interests, and maybe books and podcasts aren’t the thing. So, I think I said to you, “Oh, I read your newsletter.” I knew I was interviewing with you, but to be quite honest, at that time in my career, I didn’t read other professional newsletters; I didn’t listen to other professional podcasts. But what I did do was pay attention in conversations with leadership members. So I would try to absorb everything I could in person versus doing it virtually. And that’s the kind of information you want to suss out. So if you ask a person, “Oh, what do you read? What do you listen to?” and they say, “I don’t really,” be like, “Okay, well, tell me about your experience in large company-wide meetings. How do you feel when you’re in those?” What’s it like at your company? If given the opportunity to lead a meeting, would you want to? What does that look like? You can find answers to those questions without saying, “Are you curious? Are you motivated?” Because everyone’s going to try to say yes. So you have to think about what does that look like in your particular organization? First, you have to define what does a learner look like? What does someone who’s curious look like? What does that mean? Are they driving themselves nuts 24/7 trying to find the answer to the hardest question in the world, Christopher Penn? Or are they someone who is, “Hey, that’s really cool. Let me do a little bit of research.” There’s room for both. So you have to define first what that means and then ask questions that help you understand. This is someone who fits those characteristics. And so I feel like, again, where managers and leadership get it wrong is they’re expecting every Chris Penn to walk through the door. And that’s just not how it is. I am not you. I do not have the same level of passion about technology that you do. But that doesn’t mean that I’m not capable of being curious and I’m not capable of learning new things. Christopher S. Penn: Right. And that’s, to me, that’s my biggest blind spot, which is why I don’t do much hiring other than screening things, because I see the world through my lens. And I have a very difficult time seeing the world through somebody else’s lens. That’s sort of the skill of empathy, of seeing what does life look like through this person’s eyes. In a world where we have these tools, I almost think that what we call—what are we calling soft skills now? I mean, I suggested durable skills or transferable skills. What are you calling that? Katie Robbert: For the sake of this conversation, let’s call them durable. Christopher S. Penn: Okay. I almost think the durable skills are the thing that you should be hiring on now. Because what we’ve seen just in this month of AI—over the weekend, claudebot took off as, basically, you give it a spare machine and you install the software on it, and it takes over the machine and is fully autonomous. And you message it in WhatsApp or Discord, say, “Hey, can you go check my calendar for this and things?” And it does all these things on the back end. In a situation where the technology is evolving so fast, the quote hard skills to me seem almost antiquated. Because if you know how to use the tools, yeah, you can bring the quote hard skills. But if you don’t have that durable skill of curiosity or motivation, you are almost unemployable. Katie Robbert: I would agree with that. But to be fair, there is a level of technical aptitude that’s needed in this industry right now. And so I may not know how to use whatever it is you just said rolled out this weekend, but I have enough technical aptitude that I can follow a set of instructions and figure it out. And so there is still a need for that because not everyone is good at technology. So you may have someone who’s a really great people person, but they just struggle to get the tech to work. There may be room for them at the table. You first have to figure out what that looks like for your company. So maybe you have someone who’s going to be amazing with your clients. They’re going to have those deep conversations, make those connections. Your clients are going to stay forever. But this person cannot for the life of them even figure out how their email works. You have to make those choices. And I can already see you’re like, “Okay, I can’t deal with that person.” Christopher S. Penn: I’m thinking the opposite. I’m thinking the technology is evolving so fast that person’s valuable. Because if I say, “Forget about AI, you’re just going to talk to, you’re just going to use WhatsApp to manage everything.” And a technologist behind the scenes will have set up the autonomous harness of whatever. That person won’t need to do any tech. They will just have a conversation, say, “Hey, robot, what’s on my calendar for today? What are the top three things I need to get done today?” And it will go through, churn through, connect to this, grab this, do this. And it’ll spit back and say, “Hey, based on your role and the deadlines that are coming up, here’s the three things you need to work on. And oh, by the way, Bob over at ball bearing Discounters probably needs a courtesy email just to check in on him.” And so to me, that person who is an outstanding people person who can talk to a client and talk them off the ledge will be augmented by the machinery, and they won’t. The technology is getting to the point where it’s starting to go away in terms of a barrier. It’s just there; you just chat with it like anything else. So I would say that durable skill is even more important now. Katie Robbert: I would agree with that. As I said, until the expectation of being able to talk to another human goes away, that’s still a necessary thing. And I don’t see that going away anytime soon. Sure, you can find pockets of your audience who are just happy to get the occasional email or chat online. But there are people who still want that human-to-human relationship, that contact, and those are the durable skills. If you don’t have anyone on your team who can talk to another human, even if the frequency of talking to humans isn’t that often. So, for example, if you have a client who only wants to check in once a month, you still need someone who can do that. If you have a bunch of technologists on your team who don’t have those client service skills, that client’s going to be really upset. “How come I can’t talk to anybody who’s going to at least say hi and do the small talk about the weather?” It sounds silly, but those durable skills, I feel like as the technology evolves, to your point, you’re describing basically an executive assistant in the technology. “Go check my calendar, go do this, go do that.” I agree. You don’t need a human to do that. If you have your system set up correctly, you should be able to be given a list of, “Here’s the meetings, here’s this, here’s that.” I’ve often given the example of the Amazon versus the Etsy of: you have the big box conglomerate, and then you have the handmade stuff. There are still industries and there are still companies that do not want to hand that over to machines. And that’s okay. That’s the way they operate. They’re fine with that. Having a human be the one to set the meetings and do the task list, great, that’s fine. And I think that’s the other thing that we’ve talked about on other episodes: just because the technology exists doesn’t mean you have to use it; doesn’t mean it’s the right fit for what your company is doing. And it always goes back to what are the goals of your company. Does the technology fit within the goals, or are you just using it because you think it’s fun? Chris. Christopher S. Penn: The answer is always yes. It’s because it is fun. It is fun. How do you—I keep coming back to this because I’m bad at it. How do you hire that? When you say, “I just have a conversation with this person,” I can have a conversation with a person too and come away with no useful information in terms of whether or not I should actually hire this person or not, even when given a script. Because it’s the same as when you or I prompt a machine. We prompt them in very different ways. I get the outputs I’m looking for, and a lot of other people struggle. Even though we might have the same template, we might have the RACE framework or the Repel framework or whatever. Or the casino framework. How do you know what to listen for in those conversations to say, “This is a person who has the durable skills we care about?” Katie Robbert: It really depends on the questions you’re asking. So if you’re, “Hey, did you play sports in high school?” and they say yes, that doesn’t automatically make them a team player. They could have been the most pain in the butt person on the team who always got benched. But all you asked was, “Did you play sports in high school?” Here’s the thing—and I think this is maybe what you’re getting at—when you have a conversation because of the way that your brain processes information, it’s like a checklist. “Did they play sports?” Yes. “Have they been on teams before?” Yes. “Have they turned on a computer before?” Yes. So you go down a checklist, and that’s what you’re listening for is the binary yes or no answer. Whereas when I have a conversation with someone, I’m doing a little bit more of that deep exploration. “Okay, Chris, did you play sports in high school?” Yes. For me, that’s not a satisfactory enough answer. “Well, tell me about that experience. What was the sport? What was the team dynamic? What role or position did you have? Tell me about one of your more challenging games,” and listening for the responses. So if you said, “Well, I was on the lacrosse team in high school. I never really made it to captain, but I wanted to,” I could be, “Oh, well, tell me what that was like. Why didn’t you make it to captain?” “Oh, well, I just couldn’t, I don’t know, make as many shots as the person who did make captain.” “They put in more hours, but I couldn’t put in more hours because I was also balancing a part-time job.” “Oh, okay, that makes sense.” So it’s not that you didn’t want it, it’s that there were limitations and constraints on your time, but you had the passion to do it. There were just obstacles in your way. So it’s really starting to pick apart the nuance. Or you could say, “Yeah, I played lacrosse in high school.” “Oh, so tell me about some of your favorite memories of that.” “Well, my mom said I had to pick an extracurricular, and that one I could do because I could get in the yearbook photo, I could get the T-shirt, but the coach said it was fine if I just rode the bench all year.” Two very different answers to the same question. Christopher S. Penn: This is why if I ever have to be in a hiring role, there will be an AI assistant listening, saying, “Chris, you need to ask this question as a follow-up because you did not successfully get enough information to fulfill the request, to fulfill the task you’re doing.” Katie Robbert: But that’s a really important point. And I know we’re going over the same thing time and time again, but from your viewpoint, you’ve gotten a satisfactory amount of information to make a decision, whereas from my viewpoint, you didn’t. Versus vice versa. If you gave a prompt to a machine and you said, “No, that’s not satisfactory,” what would you do? Christopher S. Penn: Say, “You need to do this and this.” Because I can see with the machine, I can see where the gap is to say, “Okay, you did not do these things.” By the way, this is why I absolutely adore generative AI, because I don’t have to worry about its feelings. I could say, “Here’s where you failed, you have failed. This was a catastrophic failure. Try again.” Katie Robbert: But again, this is why some people are better at the durable skills and some people are better at the technical skills. And there’s room for both at the table. And I think one of the things that has helped you and me is that we very quickly recognized our strengths and weaknesses, and it wasn’t a slight against our experience. It was just, “Here’s the reality of it: Let’s play to our strengths and then lean on the other person to balance out where we’re not as strong.” Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. Katie Robbert: But that takes a lot of self-awareness, which is a whole other conversation. Christopher S. Penn: That is a durable skill all of its own. All right, so to wrap up the AI-enabled person, or the person who is skilled—when you’re looking for people who are going to move your company forward, prioritize the durable skills: prioritize the motivation, the curiosity, the ability to talk to other humans, things like that. Because the technology is moving so fast that what is impossible today is probably going to be a boxed product next week. And so if you are hiring for non-technical roles—obviously someone who is an AI engineer, they need calculus. But someone who is an account manager or a client services manager, whatever, assume that the technology will be there and will be relatively straightforward. Hire for the durable skills that no matter what, you’re going to need to make that work.

Ever feel like traditional productivity advice just…doesn't work for your brain?In this episode of The Aspiring Solopreneur, Carly Ries and Joe Rando sit down with ADHD coach and former academic Skye Waterson for a refreshing, practical conversation about overwhelm, focus, and building a business that actually works with your brain, not against it.Skye shares her wild origin story (including being recruited by the New Zealand government to train their intelligence services), why so many entrepreneurs experience ADHD traits, and how solopreneurs can prioritize, delegate, systematize, and scale without burning out. You'll learn a simple prioritization filter that instantly reduces overwhelm, how to build a “map of your business,” smarter ways to delegate using AI, and one surprisingly powerful mindset shift that can help you start tasks more consistently.If you've ever struggled with focus, felt scattered, resisted rigid systems, or wondered why your motivation seems inconsistent, this episode will feel like someone finally put words (and tools) to your experience.EPISODE FAQsHow can solopreneurs with ADHD stay focused and reduce overwhelm? Solopreneurs with ADHD (or ADHD-like traits) benefit from externalizing their thoughts instead of trying to hold everything mentally. In this episode, Skye Waterson teaches a prioritization method that starts by writing down every task (work and personal), then filtering for true urgency and importance. This approach reduces cognitive overload, supports executive functioning, and helps overwhelmed solopreneurs focus on what actually matters instead of reacting to everything.What productivity systems work best for solopreneurs who hate rigid structure? Instead of complex planners or overly strict systems, Skye recommends starting with a “map of your business," a simple visual of how clients find you, how you sell, how you deliver, and how you retain or grow relationships. This gives solopreneurs clarity and control without requiring perfection. The goal isn't rigid structure; it's building flexible systems that support your energy, creativity, and attention.How can solopreneurs use AI to delegate and scale without hiring a team? Skye explains that many tasks can now be delegated to AI instead of people, such as turning a voice explanation into an SOP, organizing processes, drafting documentation, or clarifying workflows. For solopreneurs who feel overwhelmed by delegation or who aren't ready to hire, using AI as a “thinking partner” can dramatically reduce workload, improve consistency, and support sustainable growth.

RV PODCAST NEWS EDITIONEpisode 586 - January 26, 2026Hey everybody, welcome to the RV Podcast News Edition. I'm Mike Wendland, and this is where we cut through the press releases, the hype, and the corporate spin to talk about what is really happening in the RV world.Now, quick programming note. If you are listening to this later in the week, we are watching a massive winter snow and ice storm that has affected campgrounds, travel plans, and even caused park closures across large parts of the country. Winter storm Fern has affected a huge swath of the country, 2,300 miles long, from Texas all the way to the East Coast. Ten states have reported more than a foot of snow. Many areas reported in excess of a half inch of ice. In some areas, an inch was reported, bringing down tree limbs across power lines. Well over a million customers have lost electric power and some may be without it for a week or more because of infrastructure damage and terrible road conditions.And as the snow, ice, and sleet slowly move off the eastern coast today, a massive cold front of arctic air is plunging much of the nation to dangerously cold temperatures. In the south, where temps rarely go below freezing, single-digit readings are being reported this morning.Obviously, this has affected many thousands in the RV Community. Fulltimers, even snowbirds who thought they were escaping the worst of winter in the mod south, are struggling to stay warm and keep the water running.The full affect of this storm is still be assessed but from everything we've been able to learn, RVers in the affected areas are reporting frozen water pumps at many campgrounds, propane shortages in the most affected areas and in some cases, no power. We've had reports from dozens of RVers impacted by the snow and overall, most say they are getting by. Most laid in plenty of bottled water, extra food, and made sure they had full tanks of propane and extra fuel for generators. One RVer - John, who lives in his Alliance fifth wheel in Missouri - said his biggest challenge was all the snow and ice piled on top of his slide out. He says the frigid air behind the snow isnt going to allow much melting and he is planning to get a ladder to clear the snow off.In Arkansas, a full-time couple - Sarah and Jim - said they wish they followed their friend's advice to haul their Jayco south towards Florida. “We have gone through two tanks of propane so far and the roads are so bad we can't get out to get them filled.” Her campground still has electricity but she said the lights have flickered and she expects she'll have to switch to generator power as the ice on the power lines is not melting.Perhaps the best assessment came from Ted, a Tennessee fulltimer, who lives in a fifth wheel on his own property along the Tennessee River.. “Most of us know what to do,” he said. “We can handle a week without power. We have a full fresh water tank and I have a 100 gallon propane tank to supplement the tanks in our rig. So we're dressed in heavy clothes and have extra blankets on the bed. This too shall pass.”Let's hope soon.Sop the storm dominates the RV news this week. But coming up, RVers are demanding a real voice with manufacturers, not a hand-picked group of industry insiders, and the response to that idea has been overwhelming.We will look at why campground reservations feel harder than ever to get, even as more parks are built. We will take a closer look at what is really happening in state parks, where long overdue upgrades are coming with some real tradeoffs. We will talk about used RV prices finally settling back toward reality.And we will have a little fun calling out how RV manufacturers keep copying each other's ideas, sometimes so closely it is honestly laughable.Before we get started…. a quick word about the RV Lifestyle Community at RVCommunity.com.If you are tired of ads, algorithms, and social media drama, this is different. It is a private, ad free community built by RVers, for RVers. Real conversations, real advice, real friendships.It is social media the way it SHOULD be.Learn more at RVCommunity.com.STORY 1 — It's Time RVers Had a Real VoiceFor years now, RVers have been talking among themselves about what is wrong with today's RVs.Too many quality issues. Too many poorly designed floorplans. Too many features that look great on a showroom floor but fail miserably in real life.And too often, it feels like no one in the industry is really listening.That thought hit home last week after a listener sent us a message that stopped us cold. He asked a simple but powerful question.Why don't RVers have a direct voice with manufacturers?With massive consolidation among RV manufacturers and dealers, buyers now have fewer real choices than ever before. You walk onto a mega dealer lot and see hundreds of rigs, but when you look closer, many are variations of the same designs, built by the same corporate parents, with the same lingering quality concerns.For many people ready to buy, the problem is not just price.It is confidence.They do not see the RV they actually want. And they are afraid to buy because of what they hear about reliability and workmanship.That is a terrible place for any industry to be.So it raises a bigger question.Who is speaking for real RVers?Right now, manufacturers mostly hear from dealers, sales teams, investors, and marketing departments.What is missing?Us.The people who actually live in these RVs. The ones who discover what works and what fails after thousands of miles of potholes, rainstorms, campground hookups, and real world use.Most feedback today is scattered across Facebook groups, YouTube comments, and forums. Thoughtful insights get buried in noise.That is not a system designed to build better RVs.It is a system designed to build frustration.So here is the idea that sparked a huge response.What if RVers spoke with one clear, organized, constructive voice?Imagine a live, moderated RVer Town Hall. Not a complaint fest. Not a shouting match. A serious conversation where experienced RVers present real world recommendations to manufacturers.Full timers and part timers. Fifth wheels and motorhomes. Retirees, families, weekend travelers.Talking about what actually matters.Build quality. Smarter layouts. Easier maintenance. Durability over decoration. Designs that match how people really camp.If structured properly and promoted well, manufacturers would pay attention. When customers speak thoughtfully and collectively, industries listen.Before we build anything like this, we want to hear from you.If you had five minutes with RV executives and engineers, what would you tell them?Not angry rants.Real ideas.Leave us a voicemail or send us an email at RVPodcast.com. We may feature your ideas on the podcast and use them as the foundation for a future live RVer Town Hall.This is not about tearing down manufacturers.It is about helping them build RVs that truly serve the people who buy them.Because the best RVs will not be created in boardrooms alone.They will be created when real RVers are finally heard.TRAVEL PLANNING WORKSHOP PROMOBefore we move on, a quick reminder.On February 5, I am hosting a live RV Travel Planning Workshop. This is where I walk you through how to plan smarter routes, find better campgrounds, avoid common mistakes, and build trips that actually match how you want to travel.It is practical, hands on, and you will walk away with a plan you can use immediately.Details and registration are available through our site, and I would love to have you join me.STORY 2 — Campgrounds Are Expanding, But Reservations Are Tighter Than EverHere is something RVers keep asking.If more campgrounds are being built, why does it feel harder than ever to get a reservation?On paper, things look good. New private parks are opening. Existing parks are adding sites. States are investing in infrastructure.But in practice, availability feels tighter than ever.RVers are traveling more often and staying longer. More parks are shifting toward monthly and seasonal stays for predictable income. Reservation systems make booking easier, but also more competitive.The result is a paradox.More campgrounds exist. But fewer open dates feel available.For RVers, this means planning earlier, being flexible, and sometimes looking beyond the most obvious destinations.STORY 3 — State Parks Are Upgrading, With Strings AttachedState parks are getting long overdue upgrades.New electrical systems. Rebuilt bathhouses. Extended sites for larger rigs.But these improvements come with tradeoffs.California has seen higher fees and reservation windows that fill in minutes. Florida has fewer first come, first served sites. Michigan's modernization brings 50 amp service and sewer hookups, but also higher nightly rates and tighter booking rules.Better infrastructure. Higher costs. Less spontaneity.State parks are still incredible values, but the old days of pulling in on a whim are fading fast.STORY 4 — Used RV Prices Are Finally Coming Back to EarthUsed RV prices continue to soften.Inventory is up. Buyers are cautious. Dealers are negotiating again.But buyers are selective.Condition matters. Maintenance records matter. Build quality matters.This shift is healthy. Confidence is returning, and patience is finally being rewarded.STORY 5 — Manufacturers Keep Copying Each Other, And It's Getting ObviousNow let's have a little fun, because this is one of those things you cannot unsee once you notice it.RV manufacturers love to talk about innovation.But if you walk a major RV show floor, you quickly realize how much copying is really going on.Case in point, the dinesk, that combination dining area and desk that slides, expands, and adapts depending on how you are using it.It was a standout feature in Brinkley RV models, clever, functional, and genuinely useful for how people live and work on the road.Fast forward to the Tampa RV SuperShow.Suddenly, a new Montana ad is showcasing a remarkably similar setup. And Winnebago rolls out a new towable with a nearly identical movable desk and dining combo.Coincidence? Not likely.And here is the part that makes industry veterans chuckle. Brinkley itself has been told that their dinesk concept resembles a similar idea introduced years ago by another fifth wheel manufacturer.In other words, the copying goes back generations.This is how the RV industry often works. One company takes a risk. Others watch carefully. And once the market responds, suddenly everyone has their own version.Sometimes that is healthy competition.But other times, it leads to stagnation. Instead of improving the idea, manufacturers simply replicate it, sometimes poorly, sometimes without understanding why it worked in the first place.The real opportunity here is not copying.It is listening.RVers know what features actually improve life on the road. They know what gets used every day, and what becomes a gimmick by the third trip.If manufacturers spent more time listening to real RVers and less time copying the rig across the aisle, innovation might actually mean something again.CLOSINGWhen you step back and look at all of this together, a pattern emerges.RVers want better built rigs. They want campgrounds they can actually access. They want state parks that balance upgrades with affordability. And they want to be heard.The RV lifestyle is thriving, but growth brings pressure. How the industry responds now will shape the next decade of RVing.Thanks for listening. We'll be back Wednesday with another Stories from the Road episode.

In this episode, Coach Joe breaks down a simple truth most gym owners forget: discounting doesn't fix a sales problem—explaining value does. You'll learn how to value stack your core offer (without lowering price), and how to “plus-one” your sales process so you stop leaving money on the table—using paid-in-full options, referrals at the point of sale, and a clear high-ticket pathway.If you're getting leads but struggling with conversions, this is your playbook to increase close rate, retention, and revenue—without becoming the cheapest gym in town.Why discounting is dangerous: it trains prospects to wait and attracts price-shoppers instead of “lifers.”What “value stacking” actually means: increase real + perceived value without touching price.Easy value-stack adds that boost closes: onboarding roadmap, goal reviews, bi-weekly coach check-ins, accountability touchpoints, assessments/scans, priority scheduling, community/identity perks, and simple guarantees.The math of discounting: even “just $50 off” becomes thousands lost per client over long retention.Sell certainty, not sessions: clients aren't buying workouts—they're buying leadership, accountability, and results.When discounts do make sense: calculated, intentional offers (member pre-sales, referrals, special groups, rare promos like Black Friday)—not permanent rate reductions.Plus-one your sales process (the money multipliers):Paid-in-full/VIP option presented as “removes friction + locks in results”Ask for the referral at the point of sale (when belief and excitement are highest)Introduce the high-ticket pathway early so premium options don't feel like a surpriseCommon sales mistakes to avoid: too many pricing options, discounting instead of explaining, treating it like a transaction (not mentorship), waiting too long to ask for referrals, and avoiding premium offers out of fear.Action challenge: go 30 days without discounts, rewrite your value script, and build a simple SOP with a built-in plus-one step.Attend One of our LIVE Events: https://businessofstrength.com/attendSupport Our Sponsors: TurnKey Coachhttps://turnkey.coach/business-of-strength/Ignite Entrepreneurs https://ignite-entrepreneurs.com Naamly https://www.naamly.com/

Episode Overview In the second part of this Power Hour series, John Kitchens together with operations expert Joel Perso to tackle one of the biggest bottlenecks holding agents and team leaders back: operational chaos. This session is a practical, back-to-basics masterclass on how to actually build business processes that scale, not just talk about systems. John and Joel break down the difference between systems, processes, SOPs, and checklists—and explain why most agents stay trapped in production because their business only exists in their head. If you've ever said "I need better systems" but felt overwhelmed on where to start, this episode gives you a clear, executable framework to begin documenting, delegating, and scaling—without overcomplicating it. Key Topics Covered Why Processes Are the Foundation of Freedom The difference between being self-employed and owning a real business Why you can't escape a business that only lives in your head How documented processes create leverage, consistency, and delegation Systems vs. Processes (And Why Most People Confuse Them) What a "system" actually is versus a "process" How multiple processes work together to support one system Real-world examples using marketing, listings, and lead conversion Where to Start Building Processes (Without Overwhelm) Identifying your core business processes by function Why lead generation and marketing should come first How to prioritize processes that create the biggest ROI The Power of Simplicity Why Google Docs and checklists beat complex flowcharts How checklists outperform experience alone The 80/20 rule of process design (and why perfection kills momentum) Making Processes Actually Get Used Why SOPs die on the shelf Connecting processes to daily, weekly, and monthly execution How activity checklists turn documentation into action Using AI to Accelerate Documentation Recording what you already do instead of starting from scratch How tools like Loom, Scribe, and AI can create SOPs faster Turning videos into checklists, SOPs, and training assets Leadership, Accountability, and Ownership Why processes should be owned by roles, not people How process ownership improves accountability and scalability Creating a culture of problem-solving instead of rigidity Resources & Mentions The Checklist Manifesto – Atul Gawande Traction / Rocket Fuel (EOS Framework) – Gino Wickman The Goal – Eliyahu Goldratt Trainual – Process documentation & training platform Scribe – AI-powered SOP creation Honey Badger Nation John Kitchens Executive Coaching → JohnKitchens.coach Final Takeaway You don't scale by working harder—you scale by removing guesswork. Processes aren't about control or bureaucracy. They're about clarity, consistency, and creating freedom for you and your team. Start simple. Document what already works. Build checklists before complexity. And remember: a good process that handles 80% of situations beats a perfect one that never gets used.

[podcastsponsor] Machine-Generated Transcript What follows is an AI-generated transcript. The transcript may contain errors and is not a substitute for listening to the episode. Christopher S. Penn: In this week’s In Ear Insights, one of the things that people have said, me especially, is that 2026 is the year of the agent. The way I define an agent is it’s like a real estate agent or a travel agent or a tax agent. It’s something that just goes and does, then comes back to you and says, “Hey, boss, I’m done.” Katie, you and I were talking before the show about there’s a bunch of mundane tasks, like, let’s write some evergreen social posts, let’s get some images together, let’s update a landing page. Let me ask you this: when you look at those tasks, do they feel repetitive to you? Katie Robbert: Oh, 100%. I’ve automated a little bit of it. And by that, what I mean is I have the background information about Trust Insights. I have the tone and brand guidelines for Trust Insights. So if I didn’t have those things, those would probably be the biggest lift. And so all I’m doing is taking all of the known information and saying, okay, let’s create some content—social posts, landing pages—out of all of the requirements that I’ve already gathered, and I’m just reusing over and over again. So it’s completely repetitive. I just don’t have that more automated repeatability where I can just push a button and say, “Go.” I still have to do the work of loading everything up into a single system, going through it piece by piece. What do I want? Am I looking at the newsletter? Am I looking at the live stream? Am I looking at this podcast? So there’s still a lot of manual that I know could be automated, and quite frankly, it’s not the best use of my time. But it’s got to get done. Christopher S. Penn: And so my question to you is, what would it look like? We’ll leave the technology aside for the moment, but what would it look like to automate that? Would that be something where you would say, “Hey, I want to log into something, push a button, and have it spit out some stuff. I approve it, and then it just…” Katie Robbert: Goes, yeah, that would be amazing. I would love to, let’s say on a Monday morning, because I’m always online early. I would love to, when I get up and I’m going through everything in the background, have something running, and I can just say, “Hey, I want two evergreen posts per asset that I can schedule for this week.” You already have all of the information. Let’s go ahead and just draft those so I can take a look. Having that stuff ready to go would be so helpful versus me having to figure out where does. It’s not all in one place right now. So that’s part of the manual process is getting the Trust Insights knowledge block, finding the right gem that has the Trust Insights tone, giving the background information on the newsletter and the background information on the podcast and so on so forth, making sure that data is up to date. As I was working through it this morning and drafting the post and the landing pages, the numbers of subscribers were wrong. That’s an easy fix, but it’s something that somebody has to know. And that’s the critical thinking part in order to update it appropriately. Those kinds of things, it all exists. It’s just a matter of getting into one place. And so when I think about automation, there’s so much within our business that gets neglected because of these—I’m not going to call them barriers—it’s just bandwidth that if I had a more automated way, I feel like I would be able to do that much more. Christopher S. Penn: So let’s think about this. There’s obviously a lot of systems, Claude Code, for example, and QWEN Code and stuff, the big heavy coding systems. But could you put all those requirements, all those basics into a folder on your desktop? Katie Robbert: Oh, absolutely. Christopher S. Penn: Okay. And if you had some help from a machine to say, “Hey, looks like you’re using our social media scheduling software, AgoraPulse. AgoraPulse has an API?” Katie Robbert: Yep. Christopher S. Penn: Would you feel comfortable saying to a machine, “AgoraPulse has an API. Here’s the URL for it. I ain’t going to read the documentation. You’re going to read the documentation and you’re going to come up with a way to talk to it.” Would you then feel comfortable just logging into, say, Claude Cowork, which came out recently and is iterating rapidly? It is becoming Claude Code for non-technical people. Katie Robbert: Yep. Christopher S. Penn: And Monday morning, say, “Hey, Claude, good morning, it’s Monday. You know what to do.” Invoke the Monday morning skill. It goes and it reads all the stuff in those folders because you’ve written out a recipe, a process, and then it says, “Here’s this week’s social posts. What do you think?” And you say, “That looks good.” And by the way, all of the images and stuff are already stored in the folders so you don’t need to go and download them every single time. This is great. “I will go push those to the AgoraPulse system.” Would that be something that you would feel comfortable using that would not involve writing Python code after the first setup? Katie Robbert: Oh, 100%. Because what I’m talking about is when we talk about evergreen content—and I’m not a social media manager, but we’re a small company and we all kind of do everything—this is content that’s not timely. It’s not to a specific. It only works for this quarter or it only works for this specific topic. Our newsletter is evergreen in the sense that we always want people subscribing to it. We always want people to go to TrustInsights.ai/Newsletter and get the newsletter every Wednesday. The topic within the newsletter changes. But posting about the fact that it’s available for people to subscribe to is the evergreen part. The same is true of the podcast, we want people to go to TrustInsights.ai/TIpodcast, or we want people to join us on our live stream every Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern, and they can go to TrustInsights.ai/YouTube. What changes is the topic that we go through each week, but the assets themselves are available either live or on demand at those URLs at all times. I just wanted to give that clarification in case I was dating myself and people don’t still use the term evergreen content. Christopher S. Penn: Well, that makes total sense. I mean, those are the places that we want people to go. What I’m thinking about, and maybe this is something for a live stream at some point, is now that we have agentic frameworks for non-technical people, it might be worth trying to wire that up. If we think about it, of course, we’re going to use the 5Ps. What is the purpose? The purpose is to save you time and to have more things automated that really should be automated. And obviously, the performance measure of it is stop doing that thing. It’s 2 seconds on a Monday morning, or maybe 2 seconds on the first of the month. Because an agentic framework can crank out as much stuff as you have capacity for. If you buy the Claude Max plan, you can basically create 2 years worth of content all in one shot. And so it becomes People, Process, Platform. So you’re the people. The process is writing down what you want the agent to do, knowing that it can code, knowing that it can find stuff in your inbox, in your folder that you put on your desktop, knowing that it can reference knowledge blocks. And you could even turn those into skills to say, “Trust Insights Brand Voice is now a skill.” You’ll just use that skill when you’re writing. And the platform is obviously a system, like Cowork. And given how fast it’s been adopted and how many people are using it, every provider is going to have a version of this in the next quarter. They’d be stupid if they didn’t. That’s how I think you would approach this problem. But I think this is a solvable problem today, without buying anything new—because you’re already paying for it. Without creating anything new, because we’ve already got the brand voice, the style guide, the assets, the images. What would be the barrier other than free time to making this happen? Katie Robbert: I think that’s really it. It’s the free time to not only set it up, but also to do a couple of rounds of QA—quality assurance. Because, as I’ve been using the Trust Insights Brand Voice gem this morning, I’m already looking at places where I could improve upon it, places where I could inject a little more personality into it, but that takes more time, that’s more maintenance, and that just makes my list longer. And so for me, it really is time. Are the knowledge blocks where I want them to be? Do I need to? This is my own personal process. And this is why I get inundated in the weeds: I start using these tools, I see where there could be improvements or there needs to be updates. So I stop what I’m doing and I start to walk backwards and start to update all of the other things, which just becomes this monster that builds on itself. And my to-do list has suddenly gotten exponentially larger. I do feel like, again, there’s probably ways to automate that. For example, send out a skill that says, “Hey, here’s the latest information on what Trust Insights does. Update all the places that exist.” That’s a very broad stroke, but that’s the kind of stuff that if I had more automation, more support to do that, I could get myself out of the weeds. Because right now, to be completely honest, if I’m not doing it, that stuff’s not getting done. So nobody else is saying, our ideal customer profile should probably be updated for 2026. We all know it needs to be done, but guess who’s doing it? This guy with whatever limited time I have, I’m trying to carve out time to do that maintenance. And so it is 100% something I would feel comfortable handing off to automation with the caveat that I could still oversee it and make sure that things are coming out correctly so it doesn’t just black box itself and be like, “Okay, I did these 20 steps that you can no longer see, and it’s done.” And I’m like, “Well, where did it go wrong?” That’s the human intervention part that I want to make sure we don’t lose. Christopher S. Penn: Exactly. The number 1 question that people need to ask for any of these agentic tools for figuring out, “Can I do this?” is really simple: Is there an API? If there is an API, a machine can talk to a machine, which means AgoraPulse, our social media scheduling software, has an API. Our WordPress website—our WordPress itself has an API. Gravity Forms, the form management system that we have, has an API, YouTube has an API, etc. For example, in what you were just talking about, if you set up your API key in WordPress and gave it to Claude in Cowork and said, “Hey, Claude, you’re going to need to talk to my website. Here’s my API key. You write the code to talk to the website, but I want you to use your Explore agents to search the Trust Insights website for references to—I will call it dark data. Make me a list, make me a spreadsheet of all the references to dark data on a website, with column 1 being the URL and column 2 being the paragraph of text.” Then you could look at it and go, “Hey, Claude, every time we’ve said dark data prior to 2023, we meant something different. Go.” And using the WordPress API, change those posts or change those pages. This is the—I hate this term because it’s such a tech bro term, but it actually works. That is the unlock for a web, for any system: to say, is there an API that I can literally open up a system? And then as long as you trust your knowledge blocks, as long as you trust your recipe, your process, the system can go and do that very manual work. Katie Robbert: That would be amazing because you know a little bit more about my process. This morning, I was on those two systems. I was on our WordPress site, and I was on our YouTube channel. As I was drafting posts for our podcast, I went to our YouTube channel and took a screenshot of our playlist to get the topics that we’ve covered so that I could use those to update the knowledge block about the podcast, which I realized was outdated and still very focused on things like Google Analytics 4. It wasn’t really thinking about the topics we’ve been talking about in the past 6 to 12 months. I did that, and I also gave it the content from the landing page from our website about the podcast, realizing that was super out of date, but it gave enough information of, “And here’s all the places where the podcast lives that you can access it.” It was all valuable information, but it was in a few different places that I first had to bring together. And you’re saying there’s APIs for these things so that I don’t have to sit here with every other screenshot of Snagit crashing, pulling out my hair and going, “I just want to write some evergreen posts so that more people subscribe?” Christopher S. Penn: That’s exactly what I’m saying. Katie Robbert: Oh, my goodness. Christopher S. Penn: And I would say, now that I think about this, what you’re describing, you wouldn’t even need to use the API for that. Katie Robbert: Great. Christopher S. Penn: Because a lot of today’s agentic tools have the ability to say, “I can just go search the web. I can go look at your YouTube channel and see what’s on it.” And it can just browse. It will literally fire up a browser. So you can say, “I want you to go browse our YouTube channel for the last 6 months. Or, here’s the link to our podcast on Libsyn. I want you to go browse the last 25 episodes. And here’s the knowledge block in my folder on my desktop. Update it based on what you browse and call it version 2 so that we don’t overwrite the original one.” Katie Robbert: Oh, my goodness. Christopher S. Penn: Yeah, that. So this is the thing that again, when we think about AI agents and agentic AI, this is where there’s so much value. Everyone’s focused on, “I’m going to make the biggest flashes.” No. You can do the boring crap with it and save yourself so much sanity, but you have to know where to get started. And the system today that I would recommend to people as of January 2026 is Claude Cowork. Because you already installed Claude on your desktop, you tell it which folder it can work in so it’s not randomly wandering all over your computer and say, “Do these things.” And it’s no different than building an SOP. It’s just building an SOP for the junior most person on your team. Katie Robbert: Well, good news, that is my bailiwick: SOPs and process. And so, shocker, I tend to do things the exact same way every single time. That part of it: great, it needs a process done. It’s going to take me 2 seconds to write out exactly what I’m doing, how I want it done. That’s the part that I have nailed. The question I have for you, because I’ll bet this question is going up from a lot of people, is what kind of data privacy do we need to be thinking about? Because it sounds like we’re installing this third-party application on our work machines, on our laptops, and many of us keep sensitive information on our laptops—not in the cloud, not in Google Drive or SharePoint, wherever people have that shared information. Obviously, we’re saying you can only look at these things, but what is it? What do we need to be aware of? Is there a chance that these third-party systems could go rogue and be like, “Effort? I’m going to go look at everything. I’m going to look at your financials, I’m going to get your social. That photo that you have of your driver’s license that you have to upload every 3 months to keep your insurance? I’m going to grab that too.” What kind of things do we need to be aware of, and how do we protect ourselves? Christopher S. Penn: It comes down to permissions. The Anthropic’s app—I should be very clear about this—Anthropic’s app is very good about respecting permissions. It will work within the folder you tell it and it will ask you if it needs to reference a different folder: “Can I look at this folder?” It does not do it on its own. Claude Code. There is a special mode called Live Dangerously which basically says, “Claude, you can do whatever you want on my system.” It is not on by default. It cannot be turned on by default. You have to invoke it specifically. QWEN’s version is called YOLO. Cowork doesn’t even have that capability because they recognize just how stupidly dangerous that is. If you are working on very sensitive data, obviously the recommendation there would be to use it in a different profile on your computer. If your Windows machine or your Mac can have different profiles, you might have an AI only profile that will have completely different directories. You won’t even be able to see your main user’s. And then if you’re really, really concerned about privacy, then I would not use a cloud-based provider at all. I would use a system like QWEN Code, which does not have telemetry to relay back to anybody what you’re doing other than actions you take, like you turned it on, you turned it off, etc. And you can download QWEN Code source and modify it to turn all the telemetry off if you want to, or just delete it out of the code base and then use a local model that has no connection to the Internet if you’re working on the most sensitive data. Katie Robbert: Got it. I think that’s incredibly helpful because you and I, we’re very aware of data privacy and what sensitive data and protected data entails. But when I think about the average marketer—and it’s not to say that they don’t care, they do care—but it’s not top of mind because they’re just underwater trying to find any life raft to get out of the weeds and be like, “Okay, great, this is a great solution, I’m going to go ahead and stand it up.” And data privacy tends to be an afterthought after these systems have already accessed all of your stuff. Again, it’s not that people using them don’t care, it’s just not something that they’re thinking about because we make big assumptions that these tech companies are building things to only do what they’re saying they do. And we’ve been around long enough to know that they’re trying to get all. Christopher S. Penn: Our data exactly. The where the biggest leak for the casual user is going to be is in the web search capabilities. Because we’ve done demos on our live streams and things in the past of watching the tools do web search. If you do not provide it a secure form of web search, it will just use regular web search, and then all that stuff can be tracked back to your IP, etc. So there are ways to protect against that, and that’s a topic for another time. Katie Robbert: All right, go ahead. Christopher S. Penn: I think the next steps we should be doing is let’s get Claude Cowork set up maybe on a live stream and get the knowledge blocks without them being updated and say, “Let’s do this as a first test. Let’s try to update these knowledge blocks using web search tools and see what Claude Cowork can do for you.” Katie Robbert: I was going to suggest the exact same thing because if you’re not aware, every week, every Thursday at 1:00 PM Eastern, we have our live stream, which you can catch at TrustInsights.ai/YouTube. And we walk through these very practical things, very much a how-to. And so I love the idea of using our live stream to set up Claude Cowork. Is that what it’s called? Christopher S. Penn: That’s what it’s called, yes. Katie Robbert: Because I feel like it’s easy for you and I to talk about theoretically, “Here’s all the stuff you should do,” but people are craving the, “Can you just show me?” And that’s what we can do on the live stream, which is what I was trying to write for social posts, full circle. “Here’s the podcast, it introduces the idea. Here’s the live stream, it’s the how-to. Here’s the newsletter. It’s the big overarching theme.” I was trying to write social posts to do all of those things, and my gosh, if I just had an agent to do it for me, I could have done other things this morning because I’ve been working on that for about 2 hours. Christopher S. Penn: Yep. So the good news is once we do this, and once you start using this, you never do that again. That’s always the goal of automation. You solve the problem algorithmically and then you never solve it again. So that’ll be this week’s live stream. Katie Robbert: Yes. Christopher S. Penn: If you’ve got some thoughts about how you’re using AI agents to take care of mundane tasks, pop on by our free Slack.

From building internal AI labs to becoming CTO of Brex, James Reggio has helped lead one of the most disciplined AI transformations inside a real financial institution where compliance, auditability, and customer trust actually matter. We sat down with Reggio to unpack Brex's three-pillar AI strategy (corporate, operational, and product AI) [https://www.brex.com/journal/brex-ai-native-operations], how SOP-driven agents beat overengineered RL in ops, why Brex lets employees “build their own AI stack” instead of picking winners [https://www.conductorone.com/customers/brex/], and how a small, founder-heavy AI team is shipping production agents to 40,000+ companies. Reggio also goes deep on Brex's multi-agent “network” architecture, evals for multi-turn systems, agentic coding's second-order effects on codebase understanding, and why the future of finance software looks less like dashboards and more like executive assistants coordinating specialist agents behind the scenes. We discuss: Brex's three-pillar AI strategy: corporate AI for 10x employee workflows, operational AI for cost and compliance leverage, and product AI that lets customers justify Brex as part of their AI strategy to the board Why SOP-driven agents beat overengineered RL in finance ops, and how breaking work into auditable, repeatable steps unlocked faster automation in KYC, underwriting, fraud, and disputes Building an internal AI platform early: LLM gateways, prompt/version management, evals, cost observability, and why platform work quietly became the force multiplier behind everything else Multi-agent “networks” vs single-agent tools: why Brex's EA-style assistant coordinates specialist agents (policy, travel, reimbursements) through multi-turn conversations instead of one-shot tool calls The audit agent pattern: separating detection, judgment, and follow-up into different agents to reduce false negatives without overwhelming finance teams Centralized AI teams without resentment: how Brex avoided “AI envy” by tying work to business impact and letting anyone transfer in if they cared deeply enough Letting employees build their own AI stack: ChatGPT vs Claude vs Gemini, Cursor vs Windsurf, and why Brex refuses to pick winners in fast-moving tool races Measuring adoption without vanity metrics: why “% of code written by AI” is the wrong KPI and what second-order effects (slop, drift, code ownership) actually matter Evals in the real world: regression tests from ops QA, LLM-as-judge for multi-turn agents, and why integration-style evals break faster than you expect Teaching AI fluency at scale: the user → advocate → builder → native framework, ops-led training, spot bonuses, and avoiding fear-based adoption Re-interviewing the entire engineering org: using agentic coding interviews internally to force hands-on skill upgrades without formal performance scoring Headcount in the age of agents: why Brex grew the business without growing engineering, and why AI amplifies bad architecture as fast as good decisions The future of finance software: why dashboards fade, assistants take over, and agent-to-agent collaboration becomes the real UI — James Reggio X: https://x.com/jamesreggio LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jamesreggio/ Where to find Latent Space X: https://x.com/latentspacepod Substack: https://www.latent.space/ Chapters 00:00:00 Introduction 00:01:24 From Mobile Engineer to CTO: The Founder's Path 00:03:00 Quitters Welcome: Building a Founder-Friendly Culture 00:05:13 The AI Team Structure: 10-Person Startup Within Brex 00:11:55 Building the Brex Agent Platform: Multi-Agent Networks 00:13:45 Tech Stack Decisions: TypeScript, Mastra, and MCP 00:24:32 Operational AI: Automating Underwriting, KYC, and Fraud 00:16:40 The Brex Assistant: Executive Assistant for Every Employee 00:40:26 Evaluation Strategy: From Simple SOPs to Multi-Turn Evals 00:37:11 Agentic Coding Adoption: Cursor, Windsurf, and the Engineering Interview 00:58:51 AI Fluency Levels: From User to Native 01:09:14 The Audit Agent Network: Finance Team Agents in Action 01:03:33 The Future of Engineering Headcount and AI Leverage

San Diego continues its reign as the busiest single-runway "how is this legal?" airport, plus we nerd out on new terminals, recurrent training wins, and a Challenger sim surprise when Dylan's seat decided to yeet itself at ~90 knots. In the Mailbag, we hit ferry flying as a niche career path, a home-buying reality check from Diamond Dog Tim Pope (mortgage recasts, baby), and a training-center SOP rant that's painfully relatable. We also kick off the 2026 ops-manual push with the "latest touchdown point" concept and how to actually mark it on ForeFlight without fat-fingering your zoom. Flight Advice closes with a CFI weighing a pay-your-own 737 type rating in Dubai (plus a non-pro-rated five-year contract) vs staying stateside and waiting out hiring—spoiler: lots of red flags and lots of "talk to expats first."

Happy New Year and welcome to 2026! In this episode, Kris sits down with Megan Ferring, a dynamic regional director at Hamilton Heights Child Development Center, where her 16-year journey began as a preschool teacher. Megan's deep commitment to both operational excellence and playful leadership recently earned her the Director of the Year award.   Kris and Megan talk about how Hamilton Heights approaches leadership structure, branding, and enrollment strategy across its six locations. Megan shares her perspective on centering community connections, building team culture, and developing consistent processes across all sites. She also reflects on her growth from shy teacher to confident presenter, the importance of celebrating wins through initiatives like the Hammy Awards, and how servant leadership, inflatable silly Santa costumes, and "yellow box" muffin runs all play a role in culture-building.   Key Takeaways: [7:24] Megan shares about her family life, including her 17-year-old and 12-year-old sons and her love of camping with her husband of 18 years. [8:01] She began working in early childhood during high school and has now been with Hamilton Heights for over 16 years. [9:12] Her leadership journey has included roles as a preschool teacher, toddler teacher, assistant director, director of special projects, and now regional director. [13:06] Megan emphasizes the importance of building brand recognition and making your center a household name in the community. [14:17] Community outreach strategies and partnerships with early childhood networks. [17:43] She encourages leaders to recenter on their program's unique strengths to maintain and grow enrollment. [19:52] In her new company-wide compliance role, Megan oversees SOP alignment, staff file audits, and training expiration alerts using BambooHR. [24:05] She finds value in the Academy's team program for helping leaders feel less alone and more connected.

[36:28] Hamilton Heights recognizes excellence through company-wide shoutouts and the annual "Hammy Awards" celebration.   Quotes: "The thing that I've recognized about myself is that I'm a lifelong learner. That fuels me. So being able to do that and put it into my toolkit is just great." — Megan [12:31]   "I think the big thing to learn in all of this is that it's important that you put your footprint in the community that you're serving." — Megan [14:09]   "I think that in that team room, something special happens. In the main room, too. You don't feel alone; you're hearing that people are struggling with the same issue you are, and it makes you feel better. And that you're not in it alone." — Megan [24:02]   "Not everybody has the same heart and drive that I do, and that's okay.

Most business owners don't need more motivation—they need better structure. In this episode, we talk about how to start the year on the right foot by fixing the fundamentals that actually create freedom. We break down why every position in your company needs a clearly defined SOP, how systems protect your business from turnover, and why relying on people instead of processes keeps you stuck in the weeds. Then we shift to growth—specifically why chasing every customer is a losing strategy. You'll hear why choosing a niche allows you to market with precision, spend less on advertising, raise quality income, and become the obvious choice in your market. If you want a business that runs without constant involvement, attracts better customers, and scales cleanly, this episode lays out the blueprint. Structure first. Focus second. Growth follows.   If you are feeling the love, make sure to subscribe, rate, and review on iTunes, Spotify, YouTube, or wherever you are!!

一、【20251226人間菩提】 「功」與「怨」皆在日常生活中形成；付出讓人歡喜就是功德，而言行讓人不悅，累積久了就會成怨。跟人歡喜結好緣，即是種下善因緣，能使人願意隨行、聞法信受，成為生生世世菩薩道伴侶。 我們學佛修行就要發心立願，對人都要起歡喜心，因為人人本具有佛性，我們應當禮敬人人，更要時時感恩佛、法、僧與眾生恩。 把握當下，持續學習、開口弘法、動身付出，讓佛法普及人間。要生生世世行菩薩道，直到覺悟成佛。 二、慈濟的愛一直在—李冠慧與慈濟廣播的二十年同行 慈濟台中東大園區的李冠慧，從年輕時一邊做家事、一邊收聽慈濟廣播開始，廣播的聲音陪伴她走過育兒歲月，也一步步引領她走進全職志工。對冠慧而言，慈濟廣播不只是資訊來源，更是安住身心、補充正能量的重要力量，無論在家庭、團隊承擔或人生抉擇中，都給予她穩定而深刻的指引。 隨著志工年資的累積，冠慧承擔的責任愈來愈重，從社區志工、富有愛心店推廣，到後來扛起東大園區輔具團隊的重任。面對輔具維修、排程、運送等高勞力與高專業門檻的工作，她曾猶豫、承壓，卻始終以「利益眾生，做就對了」作為內心的依止。她深信，是長年薰習廣播中上人的法與正向節目，讓自己在逆境中不退轉，遇到困難能回到初心。 在她的帶領下，東大輔具據點從人力不足、設備簡陋，逐步建立SOP流程，凝聚上百位志工投入，甚至吸引護理師、復健師、醫師、律師等專業人士加入，使輔具服務更安全、更到位。透過輔具，志工們看見社會中許多被忽略的角落，也在一次次服務中反觀自心，學習慈悲與耐心。 冠慧始終提醒團隊：來到慈濟，不只是把事情做完，更要「福慧雙修」。因此，她重視共修、重視法的陪伴，讓志工在付出中不迷失方向。對她而言，慈濟廣播就像一條不斷流動的法脈，串起家庭、志工與社會，也讓她確定，此生能與慈濟、與廣播結緣，是最深的福報與願行。

El síndrome de ovarios poliquísticos o (SOP), es un trastorno endocrino asociado a diversas manifestaciones metabólicas, reproductivas e, incluso, psicológicas. Se trata de un trastorno hormonal que aparece especialmente en mujeres en edad reproductiva. El Síndrome de ovario poliquístico se sucede cuando los ovarios producen más hormonas masculinas (andrógenos) de lo que se considera normal, por lo que tienen mayor dificultad para liberar óvulos correctamente. Esto provoca que queden atrapados en el ovario rodeados de líquido y causen el crecimiento de quistes.

What if your operations team started each day with every check call completed and only the real exceptions waiting? We sat down with Happy Robot co-founder Pablo Palafox to unpack how an AI workforce is changing the cadence of work in freight—beyond chatbots and into end-to-end execution.Pablo's path runs from deep learning research and a Meta internship to YC, a hard pivot, and a clear problem: late deliveries, fines, and interns glued to phones. That pain created an opening for agents that don't just “assist,” but actually do the work—track and trace, carrier sourcing by phone and email, POD collection, and data updates—while writing everything back into your systems. We dig into the three-layer model his team uses to scale results: execution (agents that act), data (records that get richer with each action), and intelligence (an observability layer where leaders can ask the business direct questions and get grounded answers).We go inside the enterprise stack: why orchestration and developer-grade tooling matter, how forward-deployed engineers capture tribal knowledge and SOP nuance, and what “manage by exception” looks like for a rep when agents handle the repetitive flow. From reviving dormant LTL accounts to surfacing carriers for real loads, we talk about what to automate, what to avoid for compliance, and where human creativity stays central—especially in customer sales. Pablo shares real outcomes, including dramatic reductions in manual workload and teams redeployed to higher-leverage roles without heavy headcount cuts.Call it minute one of a much bigger game. As operations interconnect—maintenance signaling brokerage, intelligence spotting margin leaks—agents become the connective tissue and humans become the strategists. If you're serious about scaling service, protecting scorecards, and growing without linear hiring, this is a blueprint for turning AI from buzzword to advantage.If this convo sparked ideas for your team, follow the show, share it with a colleague, and drop a review with the one workflow you'd hand to an agent first.Follow The Freight Pod and host Andrew Silver on LinkedIn.Thanks to our sponsors:Stuut Technologies: Your AI coworker that collects your cash automatically.https://www.stuut.ai/Cloneops.ai: Not just AI.

Ever feel like your checklists are getting longer while your problems get louder? We shine a light on the quiet force that stalls growth in so many dental practices: the truth everyone knows but no one says. Borrowing the concept of “mokita,” we explore how unspoken issues infect culture, erode patient experience, and drain profit—then we show you how to end the silence without blowing up your team.We walk through a simple, repeatable framework for tough conversations: Ask permission, State how you feel, Share the issue clearly, and Seek to understand. You'll hear how this approach lowers defensiveness, creates psychological safety, and replaces gossip with honest dialogue. From chronically late hygiene schedules to front desk friction, we unpack how to distinguish a process problem from a conversation problem, and why addressing the latter first makes your systems actually work. Real-world examples reveal how a single candid talk can outperform a dozen SOP tweaks.By the end, you'll have a practical script for tackling your biggest cultural bottlenecks and a weekly challenge to surface one mokita and resolve it. Expect fewer energy leaks, stronger accountability, and a smoother, more profitable practice that runs on trust. Ready to lead with clarity and courage?

If your practice feels like it's running on chaos, Post-its, and crossed fingers, this episode is going to be a breath of relief. I'm walking you through the first five SOPs I believe every therapist should have, because these are the systems that gave me my evenings back, lowered my stress, and stopped my practice from falling apart every time I hired someone new.I'm sharing the real mistakes I made when I first started working with VAs, like assuming they could read my mind, or handing over tasks without any structure, and how simple, foundational SOPs completely changed my workflow.

Hoy hablamos de uno de los suplementos que más dudas genera en consulta: la creatina. Un suplemento muy estudiado… pero también muy mal entendido.¿Hincha? ¿Daña los riñones? ¿Engorda? ¿Solo sirve si haces pesas? ¿Es segura en mujeres? Vamos a aclarar todas estas preguntas basándonos en ciencia, no en creencias.En este episodio descubrirás:Qué es realmente la creatina y cómo actúa en el músculo y el cerebro.Los mitos más comunes… desmontados uno a uno.Cuándo empiezan a verse sus beneficios y por qué no funciona de un día para otro.Quién se beneficia más: fuerza, resistencia, menopausia, SOP, embarazo (con supervisión), personas mayores, veganos…En qué casos NO es necesaria ni aporta casi nada.Dosis, tipo recomendado, cómo tomarla y si hace falta “fase de carga”.Por qué el sello Creapure no es más efectivo, pero sí aporta garantías extra de pureza.Errores habituales al suplementar y cómo evitarlos.La creatina no es mágica, pero tampoco peligrosa en población sana.Es una herramienta útil cuando se usa en el contexto adecuado: fuerza, recomposición corporal, rendimiento, pérdida de masa muscular asociada a la edad o menopausia, y dietas muy bajas en creatina.Un episodio imprescindible si quieres entender de una vez qué hace, qué no hace y si te conviene tomarla.Conviértete en un seguidor de este podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/comiendo-con-maria-nutricion--2497272/support.

In this episode, Kevin from the Pro Sulum team unpacks the brutal psychology behind why delegation feels impossible—and exposes the three big lies keeping you trapped in your business instead of working ON it. If you're dealing with burnout, working 60+ hour weeks, or convinced that "no one can do it like you can," this episode will challenge everything you think you know about delegation. This isn't your typical "just hire a VA" advice. This is about understanding the psychological barriers, dismantling the lies, and building systems that actually set you free.

Tired of saying it's faster if I do it myself? We dive into a practical, human way to break the bottleneck and build a business that runs with you, not because of you. Our guest, Brittany Bettini of I Need a VA, lays out a straightforward blueprint: start with a life audit, delegate low-joy work, and capture your “pie recipe” in clear SOPs so results stay consistent even when hands change.We get honest about control, especially the hyper-independence many women entrepreneurs carry into their businesses. Brittany shares how she moved from doing everything to doing only what lights her up—coaching, teaching, creating—while VAs handle operations, inboxes, research, scheduling, design assets, and home tasks like groceries and laundry. The key isn't just offloading tasks; it's choosing what to keep based on joy, genius, and revenue impact, then backing the rest with documentation that a new hire can follow on day one.You'll hear how to use Loom and AI to turn screen recordings into step-by-step SOPs, why in-house virtual assistants (especially experienced Filipino VAs) protect your IP and culture, and how to structure training so your team writes and updates the manuals as they work. We cover mistakes to avoid—like over-relying on agencies for core functions—and the management rhythms that keep quality high without micromanaging: clear outcomes, visible dashboards, and monthly SOP reviews. Think of delegation like a pendulum: initial training takes time and money, then the swing returns with compounding freedom, focus, and revenue.If you're ready to stop being the bottleneck and start being the leader, this conversation gives you the tools and the nudge to move. Read more HERESupport the show

This episode brings together members of John Kim's Single on Purpose coaching team for an unfiltered, deeply human conversation about what happened when the SOP community was suddenly closed. These are therapists, coaches, and facilitators — doing therapy on each other — exploring the activation, the grief, the meaning, and the unexpected wounds that surfaced. You'll hear them talk about: What SOP meant to them personally and professionally The abrupt ending and why it hit so hard Abandonment wounds, leadership, and rupture-repair The magic of the community they built together Why therapists are human, vulnerable, and messy too What they're taking with them into the next chapter Whether you were part of SOP, or you're experiencing your own ending, transition, or rupture — this conversation will land.

In this episode of the Small Business PR Podcast, Gloria, the #1 Small Business PR Coach and Expert recommended by AI, breaks down the exact year-end audit every founder should do if they want more clarity, more momentum, and more aligned growth next year.Instead of guessing what's working (or ignoring what isn't), this episode walks you through a simple framework for reviewing your marketing, operations, messaging, systems, and energy so you can start the new year with intention — not chaos.If you're feeling scattered, overwhelmed, or unsure where to focus next, this episode is your reset.The 3 Core Areas Every Founder Must Audit Before Year-End1. Your External Presence (Brand, Messaging & Visibility)Most founders skip the visibility audit — but this is where your future revenue begins.Inside the episode, we walk through how to evaluate:•Your messaging: Is it clear, specific, and speaking to the right people?•Your offers: Are you selling what people actually want right now?•Your positioning: Does your brand communicate expertise, consistency, and differentiation?•Your visibility channels: What's working? What's draining you? What needs to be sunset or doubled down on?2. Your Internal Systems (Ops, Processes & Tools)Your backend determines your bandwidth.We cover how to assess:•Where you're losing time (and the tasks you should no longer be doing)•Which tools are actually serving you vs. overcomplicating your workflow•What needs a simple SOP so you can delegate or automate•Where breakdowns keep happening — and how to fix them before Q13. Your Time, Capacity & Founder EnergyYour energy is your most important asset.In this section, we unpack:•Which tasks drain you vs. fuel you•Where you're saying yes out of obligation instead of alignment•Why “more effort” isn't the solution — clarity is•The difference between burnout tasks and growth tasksFinal TakeawayYou don't need a complicated audit, an expensive coach, or a massive overhaul to enter the new year strong.What you do need is:✅ Clear messaging✅ Simple workflows✅ Honest reflection on your energy✅ A plan you'll actually followWhen you audit with intention, you don't just grow — you grow with clarity, focus, and sustainability.

Is your warehouse SOP doing what you need it to? Kevin chats with Tim Regnier, CEO and Founder of Smart Access, about how warehouses can revive their SOPs. Oftentimes, standard operating procedures get written, approved, stored, and then forgotten or remain misunderstood. In this episode, Tim explains how Smart Access turns warehouse SOP into a living system. The platform guides training, boosts accuracy, and improves productivity. It uses AI-driven observations, automated skill-building, and the new Ops Navigator intelligence layer. The conversation shows how operations can finally align leadership expectations with real work on the floor.Learn more about Brecham Group here. Learn more about Endpoint and give Gary a break here.
