Send us Fan MailA big network does not automatically create great referrals.If networking has become a cycle of collecting business cards, adding LinkedIn connections, and walking into rooms wondering who can send you work, Crystal Williams wants you to change the way you think about it.In Episode 238 of From the Yellow Chair, Crystal talks about shifting from traditional networking to intentional relationship building.The strongest referrals usually do not come from meeting someone once.They come from trust.In this episode, you will learn:• Why knowing people is different from building relationships• Why giving before you ask can strengthen your network• How to stay connected without turning every interaction into a sales pitch• Why vendors, past customers, community connections, and business partners can become valuable advocates• How mutually valuable relationships can create stronger referral opportunities• Why your reputation matters every time someone recommends your companyThe goal is not to know every person in the room.It is to create relationships strong enough that people know your business, trust your company, and are excited to advocate for your brand.Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/from-the-yellow-chair/id1598195561Spotify:https://open.spotify.com/show/1goGP66YLPIxzpX1TxFGvTMore contractor marketing resources:https://www.lemonseedmarketing.com/contractor-marketing-podcast/Ready to take a closer look at what is working in your marketing and where there may be opportunities to grow?If you enjoyed this chat From the Yellow Chair, consider joining our newsletter, "Let's Sip Some Lemonade," where you can receive exclusive interviews, our bank of helpful downloadables, and updates on upcoming content.Please consider following and drop a review below if you enjoyed this episode.

What if the breakthrough you've been chasing isn't actually moving you forward?A powerful experience can feel like progress. A retreat, a book, a conference, a revelation, a coaching session—something suddenly shifts, and you feel transformed. But what happens when the feeling fades and your business, message, body of work, and results are still exactly where they were?Kellan challenges the addiction to breakthroughs and argues for something far more demanding: building authority. Your experiences only become truly valuable when you integrate them, articulate them, structure them, demonstrate them, and use them to create results for other people.The goal isn't to keep getting cracked open.The goal is to build something from what you've learned.Key TakeawaysWhy people become addicted to chasing breakthroughsHow “bright shiny object” syndrome shows up in personal development and businessWhy breakthroughs can feel like progress without requiring constructionThe difference between having an experience and building authorityWhy authority requires integration, articulation, consistency, and evidenceCreating a clear message and a defined audienceWhy trying to help everybody can mean helping nobodyThe importance of building a body of workWhy a repeatable framework mattersHow books and programs can become components of authorityWhy having a strong point of view mattersWhy rejection and haters can be evidence that you've actually stood for somethingTurning your journey into a messageTurning your message into a bookTurning authority into offers and incomeTurning income into impactWhy the marketplace isn't the enemyThe connection between authority, purpose, prosperity, and joyWhy today's tools create fewer excuses for creating books, courses, apps, and other productsThe difference between inspiration and marketplace responsibilityWhy your lived experience can become valuable when it becomes useful to others

Send us Fan MailYear-end fundraising strategy for nonprofits starts long before December. Ben Cooley, CEO of Maxwell & Marie, joins this Global Edition to explain how nonprofits can turn the holiday giving season into a carefully planned revenue opportunity, not a last-minute fundraising scramble.Ben's message is wonderfully direct: “Your resources are in your relationships.” That means successful fundraising can't depend only on an email blast sent when December arrives.The planning begins with a business question: What exactly are you raising money for? Finance, operations and program teams need to establish the target and purpose before the creative team develops the story and campaign. The conversation then moves into communication strategy—direct mail, email, text messages, personal calls, small donor gatherings and social media. Ben also urges nonprofits to design their stewardship workflow before the donations arrive: “Plan your thanking strategy.”And there's a significant timing issue. Ben cites a figure that 64% of online donations are made in the final two weeks of December, reinforcing why nonprofits need their campaigns ready well before donors reach peak giving mode. For organizations looking for a benchmark, he suggests one possible target of approximately 10–15% of the operating budget, connected to a clear program objective.The Santa hats may be having some fun, but the business lesson is serious: by December, your fundraising strategy should already be moving.Key TakeawaysBegin internal year-end campaign planning well before the holiday season.Tie the fundraising goal to a specific, understandable program outcome.Build a coordinated campaign across direct mail, email, text, social and personal outreach.Treat relationships—not technology—as the underlying fundraising asset.Design the donor thank-you and follow-up journey before gifts begin arriving.Track outreach volume and conversion rates alongside total dollars raised.00:00:00 Christmas Comes Early to The Nonprofit Show00:02:30 Ben Cooley and Growing Nonprofits00:04:14 Why Year-End Can Be the Biggest Fundraising Season00:05:02 The Final Weeks of December and Donor Giving00:09:46 How to Start Building the Campaign00:11:37 Communication Waves, Direct Mail and Relationships00:13:28 Plan the Thank-You Before the Donation00:14:51 Why Fundraising Campaigns Need a Specific Ask00:17:04 How Early Should Year-End Fundraising Start?00:19:31 Giving Tuesday, Matching Gifts and Donor Fatigue00:22:39 Don't Stop Fundraising on Christmas Day00:24:08 Setting a Year-End Fundraising Goal00:25:19 Fundraising Is a Numbers Game00:26:19 Building the Fundraising RoadmapFind us Live daily on YouTube!Find us  Live daily on LinkedIn!Find us Live daily on X: @Nonprofit_ShowOur national co-hosts and amazing guests discuss management, money and missions of nonprofits!  12:30pm ET   11:30am CT  10:30am MT  9:30am PTSend us your ideas for Show Guests or Topics: HelpDesk@AmericanNonprofitAcademy.comVisit us on the web:The Nonprofit Show

In this episode of Geared for Growth, Mike Mortlock is joined by Lisa Happ, Buyers Agent at Personalised Property Professionals, to unpack what property investors should be thinking about in the wake of the latest Budget changes. With investor sentiment low and plenty of noise around changing tax rules, falling markets and the future of property investing, Lisa believes the fundamentals haven't changed: investors need a strategy, they need to understand their numbers, and they need the right team around them. 

Cullen Gilchrist has spent 15 years watching food and beverage brands succeed and fail. As CEO of First Run, he has seen enough companies light money on fire chasing growth, distribution, and viral moments to know exactly where the pattern breaks down every single time.In this episode Cullen and Destaney get into why scaling never fixes a margin problem, why repeat purchases are the only metric that actually tells you if your product is working, and why the fundamentals of building a great brand really have not changed in a hundred years. AI, TikTok shop, and D2C have just added more ways to ignore them.If you are building a CPG brand or advising one, this one is worth your time.

How do you network without being awkward, salesy, or draining your energy?In today's episode, I'm sharing a version of networking for therapists that feels less transactional and a lot more powerful: hosting your own networking event. When you create the event, everything changes. You have a clear reason to reach out to colleagues, you get to choose the kind of gathering that fits your energy, and you make it easier for other people to remember who you are and what you do. And believe it or not, this can be simple and easy.We'll talk about why local referrals still matter while online marketing and algorithms keep changing, what makes networking feel so uncomfortable in the first place, and why a full practice is not a reason to disappear from your local community. I'll also give you ideas for making an event fit your actual energy, whether you would rather host six people over dinner or invite a bigger group somewhere casual.If networking has always felt salesy or exhausting, this episode will help you create a version that feels generous and realistic enough to keep doing.Topics covered on Networking for TherapistsWhy therapist networking can feel transactional before the first conversation even startsWhat it feels like to be the person who can make exactly the right referralHow to approach another practitioner when you want to build a referral relationshipWhy hosting your own event can feel easier than asking strangers to meet one on oneHow to choose a gathering that fits your energy, capacity, and appetite for planningWhy local relationships still matter when algorithms and online buyer behavior keep changingWhy a full caseload is not a reason to stop building your referral communityHow group practice owners can help local providers get to know the clinicians in their teamHow to secure wins in your first events, even if they feel smallConnect with FeliciaGet my freebie and join the email list: The Magic SheetsInstagram: @the_bad_therapistWebsite: www.thebadtherapist.coachRelated episodes5 Ways to Feel Less Lonely in Therapy Practice (Without Joining Another Facebook Group) [Ep 167]: a companion episode on building the professional relationships and support your practice needsQuote"And remember that hosting the room means that you're the first name multiple providers think of rather than one of many that they might not even remember." - Felicia

In this episode of What Are You Made Of?, Mike "C-Roc" sits down with John O'Sullivan, former collegiate and professional soccer player and coach, TEDx speaker, bestselling author, and founder of the Changing the Game Project, for a powerful conversation about sports, leadership, resilience, parenting, and the lessons that shape us both on and off the field.John shares the journey that took him from a young multi-sport athlete on Long Island to collegiate soccer, professional coaching, and ultimately becoming an internationally recognized advocate for improving youth sports. He opens up about suffering a devastating injury before his senior year of high school, how it changed his trajectory, and how one coach's willingness to give him a second chance helped him continue pursuing his passion.Mike "C-Roc" and John dive deep into what it really takes to become an elite athlete—and why talent alone isn't enough. They discuss sacrifice, discipline, work ethic, perseverance, and the mindset required to compete at the highest levels. John also explains how today's youth sports environment has changed, including the pressure for kids to specialize earlier, do more, and treat sports like a job before they are ready.The conversation also explores leadership and character development in young athletes. John explains why kids need opportunities to solve their own problems, navigate conflict, develop confidence, and learn how to lead their peers rather than having adults constantly step in to fix everything for them.As the founder of the Changing the Game Project and host of the Way of Champions Podcast, John has dedicated his career to helping coaches, parents, athletes, and sports organizations create healthier and more meaningful environments for young people. His message is simple but powerful: sports should develop the person, not just the player.This episode is a must-listen for athletes, coaches, parents, leaders, and anyone who believes that the lessons learned through sports can create stronger, more resilient, and more capable people.Website-www.changingthegameproject.com Social Media Links/Handles:https://www.facebook.com/ChangingTheGameProject https://www.instagram.com/ctgprojecthq/ https://x.com/CTGProjectHQ

CROs who chase pipeline numbers miss what really matters. Sam Costello's path from sub-$1M to $100M at Harness taught him to stop managing revenue and start building the machine that produces it, which means recruiting elite, coachable talent, running a champion-first sales process with discipline, and building a culture of radical candor where MEDDPIC reviews are hunts, not compliance exercises. If you're spending more time managing numbers than building people and process, this conversation reveals where that shift starts – and what it costs to miss it. Sam Costello is CRO at Harness, where he's spent 7.5 years scaling the platform from sub-$1M to $100M ARR. He interviews ~400 candidates annually and partners closely with co-leader Carlos to build what he calls an 'execution machine', recruiting elite talent, running disciplined sales processes, and developing a culture of radical candor and coachability. Connect with Sam: LinkedIn Key takeaways from this episode: 00:00 – Why most CROs get the job fundamentally wrong 06:00 – Why your team is building champions in the wrong order 13:40 – Why POV processes fail before they even start 31:41 – Why MEDDPIC reviews are failing in most organizations 40:43 – Why the question most hiring leaders should ask (but don't) 46:12 – Why OTE isn't your real competition in the war on talent 53:00 – What separates great companies from the rest Hosted by five-time CRO John McMahon and Force Management Co-Founder John Kaplan, the Revenue Builders podcast goes behind the scenes with the sales leaders who have been there, done that, and seen the results.

In this episode of the Power Producers Podcast, David Carothers and Matt Kistler of ForgePoint Growth Partners discuss how agencies can recruit, develop, and retain high-performing producers. They explore David's strategy of recruiting proven B2B salespeople from outside insurance, the importance of intentionally building agency culture, and Matt's “blueberry” philosophy of identifying and replicating successful producer behaviors. The conversation also tackles accountability for veteran producers, transferring knowledge to the next generation, and looking beyond compensation when attracting talent. Ultimately, David and Matt emphasize that successful agencies must build a culture where great producers can succeed, feel supported, and have a reason to stay.

3 Takeaways from my conversation with CEO Oz Konar, Founder of Business Lending Blueprint: 1. Proof of concept before capital. Don't hide behind someone else's money. Sell the product first. If people are buying — then scale. 2. Financial literacy is a superpower. Build credit early. Understand debt. Know your margins. Money follows the prepared. 3. Take imperfect action. Stop waiting until everything is figured out. It never will be. Start now, learn fast.

In today's episode, Kylene and Patrick discuss the strategy of crowding out the "bad" with the good. Whenever you want to change habits or patterns they recommend using 3 steps:   1) Identify the change that needs to be made (what are you temping, adding in or changing?)   2) Take some time to identify what that current thing or pattern offers you (Is it stability? Comfort? Distraction?)   3) Replace the old habit with a new habit that offers the same thing or better.   Whether it's hanging our diet, recovering from addiction or healing from trauma, the patterning is the same. One of the things we often miss when changing our habits is step 2- identifying what the habit offers us. This is key to understanding why we keep going back to it.   Episode 67 where talk about the Faster Scale: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-betrayal-recovery-porn-addiction/id1674653111?i=1000658758308   Episode 69 where we discuss the 3 circles tool: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/recoveru-betrayal-trauma-betrayal-recovery-porn-addiction/id1674653111?i=1000660296518   If  would like to connect with Kylene for 1:1 coaching support, please click this link and book a free connection call: https://p.bttr.to/3ttk0Ql   Learn more at www.RecoverUcoaching.com   Check out the What's NEXT course for newly betrayed partners:  https://recoverucoaching.com/whats-next-course     Submit Questions and Feedback to the RecoverU podcast here: https://forms.gle/uww5sWK1WP8T8dbc8    Join the free RecoverU Facebook page for betrayed partners: www.facebook.com/groups/recoveru2    Resources for Healing: https://recoverucoaching.com/resources

What if the best start to a school year is not a perfect one, but a caring one? In Episode 203 of the Adventures in Learning podcast, Dr. Diane welcomes back author Trudy Ludwig to talk about her new picture book, A Not So Perfect Start — the first title in her new The Caring Classroom series.Trudy's books have long helped children, families, and educators make the invisible visible, exploring topics like big feelings, anxiety, perfectionism, friendship challenges, empathy, belonging, and the courage to try again. On Episode 203, we explore how classrooms become true communities, why mistakes are essential to growth, and how books and play can help children practice the social-emotional skills they need to navigate a complicated world.In this conversation, Trudy offers practical wisdom for the new school year, including suggestions for empower tools to help children respond to and navigate hurtful behaviors. Her central message is one every child (and grown up) needs to hear.

We talk AI and specifically what's next for TA. Emi is very, very clear—we need to stop prompting and start building—but what should we be building? And more importantly, where the bloody hell do we start? Here's the road map. And if your leaders aren't your champions… start there… and start soon. Thanks to Paradox for partnering with us for this episode. 

According to LaVisse Smith, it's the people, the plan, the discipline, and the willingness to do more.After spending more than 25 years working at the intersection of sports, branding and championship excellence—including work with HBCU athletic programs, Converse, Jostens and championship organizations—LaVisse brings those lessons into entrepreneurship through Urban Knight Group.In this episode, we talk about the championship mindset, necessity entrepreneurship, why so many entrepreneurs struggle to build sustainable businesses, hiring the right people, financial discipline, real estate, and what it really takes to build something that can create generational wealth. And LaVise doesn't sugarcoat entrepreneurship.

Kelly is back with a straight-talk episode on what it actually takes to grow right now, in a market that's changing faster than most business owners are willing to admit. She walks through the shift she keeps coming back to, why trust has become the single most valuable currency in business, and the specific moves that are working today versus the ones that quietly stopped working a while ago. Along the way she reframes what real growth looks like, where most founders are misplacing their time and energy, and the mindset shift that makes the next level feel far more attainable than it does when you're grinding alone. If you've been feeling like the old playbook isn't landing the way it used to, this episode is the reset.

What actually separates the coaches building thriving online businesses from everyone else?In this episode of the Skillest Pod, Baden Schaff sits down with Mark Govier and Alex Clapp to unpack what great modern coaching really looks like — and why simply being a great instructor is no longer enough.They dig into how Mark and Alex structure long-term player development, create clear roadmaps for their students, use content to extend their coaching beyond the lesson, and build the kind of high-touch relationships that keep players engaged for years.But the conversation goes much deeper into growth.How do you go from 1,000 followers to your first 15 subscribers? What should you actually post? How do you turn content into conversations? Why can a game evaluation be more powerful than a “free lesson”? And why do coaches need to be willing to do the unscalable work at the beginning?Mark shares why consistency matters more than going viral — including the years he spent creating content when almost nobody was watching. Alex breaks down exactly how he uses social media, DMs and game evaluations to bring golfers into his world. And Baden explains why starting just a handful of genuine conversations every week can completely change a coach's business.The big takeaway?You're not selling online lessons. You're building relationships.And the coaches who understand that are building something far bigger than a lesson diary — they're building an academy in the cloud.

In this episode, sex and relationship expert Carla Crivaro explains why men can find themselves wanting more sex just as their partners begin withdrawing from intimacy. The conversation explores sexual disconnection, emotional safety, male shame, performance pressure and the everyday behaviours that can either weaken or rebuild connection.SHOW NOTES:- Why a mismatch in sexual desire often reflects a much wider loss of connection- How mental load and control can create an unhelpful mother-and-son dynamic- Why presence, honesty and emotional discipline help a woman feel safer- How chasing orgasm and performance can pull both partners out of intimacy- How listening, non-sexual touch, check-ins, play and clear boundaries can rebuild closeness Season 3 is proudly sponsored by Lightside Financial Planning - a fiercely independent, Liverpool-based firm focused on clear, human conversations about money. Find out more at https://lightsidefp.co.uk/

In this episode, Dr. Steve Vargo sits down with Susan Daly for a practical, no-nonsense conversation about one of the most guesswork-driven parts of running a practice: frame buying. Steve and Susan unpack why most practices don't actually have a frame problem — they have a decision-making problem. Without clear processes, cadence, or data, frame buying tends to default to gut feel, favorite reps, or whoever's been there the longest. They talk through how to simplify the entire process down to something that could fit on an index card, why revenue-per-brand matters more than units sold, and how to build a healthier, more intentional relationship with reps instead of an exhausting or dysfunctional one. This conversation goes beyond inventory management. It's about reducing complexity so opticians can give patients the time and attention that actually drives trust — and sales. Susan shares specific, tactical strategies from her merchandising background, including how to ask patients what they wish you carried, how often to reassess your assortment, and why a simple "try-on party" might be the fastest way to spot what's missing from your board.

This episode introduces UCM Start, a membership specifically designed for upper cervical chiropractors in Practice Growth Stage 1 ( those collecting less than $20,000 per month or still operating without a chiropractic assistant). Dr. Bill Davis explains that most doctors remain stuck in this stage not because they lack clinical skill, but because they haven't built a strong business foundation.  Rather than chasing more marketing, expensive technology, or rapid growth, he encourages doctors to focus on implementing simple, repeatable systems for patient acquisition, conversion, retention, leadership, and financial management.  Throughout the episode, Dr. Davis also explains how UCM Start provides a personalized growth roadmap, weekly coaching and accountability, proven practice systems, AI-powered tools, and stage-specific resources to help doctors build a stable, scalable practice and confidently advance to the next stage of growth.

Welcome to the Charismatic Leader Podcast. In this episode, Brett McDermott sits down with Angela Howard, founder of Call for Culture and former people and culture leader with 15 years of experience. Angela makes the case that most companies aren't building culture—they're building compliance.

Joe Jensen sits down with Mark Simpson, founder of Boostly, to break down how short-term rental hosts can reduce their dependence on Airbnb, Booking.com, Expedia, and other OTAs by building a stronger direct booking strategy. Mark shares how he grew up in hospitality on a 200-acre farmstay in the UK, long before Airbnb existed, and explains how the industry shifted from upfront marketing costs to commission-based OTA bookings. While platforms like Airbnb can be a great way to get started, Mark warns that relying on one platform too heavily leaves hosts exposed to rising fees, algorithm changes, guest complaints, and sudden account suspensions. The conversation dives into practical strategies for getting more direct bookings without leaving Airbnb entirely. Mark explains the "billboard effect," where hosts use Airbnb for visibility while making their brand, property name, Google presence, website, and social profiles easy for guests to find directly. He also shares why professional hosts should aim for a healthier mix of bookings, with direct bookings forming the backbone of the business and OTAs acting as extra lead sources. The episode is a reminder that platforms are useful, but real business control comes from owning your audience, your brand, and your booking process. Book a free real estate investing strategy call!

Send us fan responses! Paperwork can feel like power until you realize it's also a trap. We kick things off with real talk about privacy, why we refuse to answer certain “legal” questions in public chats, and why an ID might be a representation of you rather than “you” itself. From there, we go deeper into how the host uses ministry language, private records, and mindset to navigate systems that most people only react to when it's already too late.We also get practical about documentation and organization, especially the overlooked value of family Bible records, baptismal certificates, school records, and other supporting documents often tied to identity and travel processes. The point isn't to obsess over a single template, it's to build a clean private record system you can actually use. Along the way, we talk about using AI tools like Google Gemini to recreate forms, modernize templates, and even build a service business around helping others with private records and documentation.Then we shift into the money side: holding company vs operating company, getting an EIN, using registered agents, building business credit, and focusing on cash flow instead of slow play tactics. You'll hear strong opinions about tax credits, payroll thinking, and why “freedom” looks more like structure and leverage than endless paperwork. We also touch controversial territory like “going foreign” with a Palau ID and what that could mean in real-world interactions, plus a run through vehicle ownership concepts like MSO or MCO. If you want high-level strategy, blunt accountability, and mindset pressure that pushes you to execute, press play, share this with a friend who needs structure, and leave a review with the biggest move you're making next.https://donkilam.com FOLLOW THE YELLOW BRICK ROAD - DON KILAMGO GET HIS BOOK ON AMAZON NOW! https://www.amazon.com/Cant-Touch-This-Diplomatic-Immunity/dp/B09X1FXMNQ https://open.spotify.com/track/5QOUWyNahqcWvQ4WQAvwjj?autoplay=trueSupport the showhttps://donkilam.com

Every lender is being pitched AI right now. But how many are actually implementing it successfully — and what separates the ones that do from the ones that don't? In this episode of Connect, California MBA CEO Paul Gigliotti sits down with Varant Herculian of JazzX AI for a candid, execution-focused conversation on what it actually takes to move from an exciting AI demonstration to real-world adoption inside a mortgage operation. Varant brings nearly three decades of mortgage industry experience — from originating loans to leading digital strategy and operational transformation — and now he's helping lenders reimagine their entire operating model with AI. This is not a product pitch. It's a masterclass in change management. In this episode: - Why the Frankenstein ecosystem of stacked point solutions is the core problem AI needs to solve — and what an intelligence layer actually means in practice - The difference between a point solution and a true end-to-end AI platform: connected decisions, shared context, and no rip-and-replace of existing systems - Why real adoption starts with business outcomes, not technology — and why the North Star metrics matter more than the implementation plan - The agile production launch philosophy: why five loans in a real production environment teaches you more than five months in a conference room - How to build a champion network, capture testimonials, and cascade adoption at scale - The two workflow scenarios every lender falls into — and how JazzX solves for both - Tunable autonomy: how lenders can start in recommendation-only mode and gradually increase AI autonomy as trust and evidence grow - How to establish baseline metrics from day one so ROI can be proven — not assumed - Why lenders are more open to upfront implementation costs than you'd think — if you can prove the value first Connect is the California MBA's podcast where strategy, innovation, and leadership come together to shape the future of mortgage finance.

Stop Managing People and Start Building Owners Most leaders spend their careers trying to manage people. What if the real goal isn't better management... but building owners? In this episode of the Deep Leadership podcast, I sit down with keynote speaker, leadership advisor, and bestselling author Greg Hawks to explore why ownership is the missing ingredient in so many organizations. Greg shares his powerful Owners, Renters, and Vandals framework and explains how leaders unintentionally create disengaged employees by limiting autonomy, discouraging contribution, and rewarding compliance over commitment. We also discuss how great leaders unlock ownership through trust, accountability, meaningful recognition, and a culture where people think beyond their own department and begin acting in the best interest of the entire organization. If you're a leader who wants to build a high-performing culture where people take initiative, solve problems, and genuinely care about the mission, this episode is packed with practical insights you can apply immediately. In this episode, you'll learn: The difference between owners, renters, and vandals in the workplace Why most employees start with an owner's mindset and what causes them to lose it How leaders unintentionally create disengaged teams Five practical ways to unlock ownership in your people Why accountability is a gift, not a punishment The power of specific recognition and intrinsic motivation How to eliminate silos by helping leaders think "whole house" instead of protecting their own department Why ownership is a mindset that transforms both leadership and life Whether you lead a small business, a Fortune 500 team, a nonprofit, or you're preparing for your first leadership role, this conversation will challenge you to stop managing people and start building owners.

Yitzchak Pearson conducted a training session titled "Stop Selling Houses and Start Building a Business" for real estate agents, focusing on transitioning from a salesperson mindset to a CEO business owner mindset. He explained how most agents are trained to close deals rather than build sustainable businesses, often working reactive hours and wearing multiple hats as CEO, CMO, accountant, and IT department. Yitzchak shared his own success story, including $13.25 million in sales in 2025 and being recognized as a top producer, while emphasizing the importance of calculating your hourly rate, delegating tasks, and building systems that can operate independently. He discussed the power of video content, marketing assets that compound over time, and the strategic use of virtual assistants and team members to scale the business. The session concluded with an action plan encouraging agents to calculate their hourly value, delegate tasks, create marketing content, document standard operating procedures, and meet with financial professionals to build a sustainable business model.

Most entrepreneurs are told the same thing: Grow bigger. Scale faster. Buy more. But what if that's actually the wrong goal? In this conversation, Matt Faircloth shares one of the biggest lessons from decades in business and real estate: success isn't about having the most units, the biggest company, or the flashiest lifestyle. It's about building a business that matches the life you actually want. Too many entrepreneurs chase someone else's definition of success, only to discover they've built a business they no longer enjoy. In this clip, you'll learn: • Why bigger isn't always better • The hidden downside of endless scaling • How to define success on your own terms • Why focus beats chasing shiny objects • The importance of work-life balance in entrepreneurship • Building wealth without sacrificing your life Whether you're an entrepreneur, real estate investor, business owner, founder, or someone pursuing financial freedom, this message is a powerful reminder that your business should serve your life—not the other way around. Sometimes, doing fewer deals, saying "no" more often, and focusing on what you truly enjoy leads to greater long-term success than constantly chasing the next milestone.

This week on The Starting Messy Podcast, I'm sitting down with Ambrosia Carey — salon owner, business consultant, and host of the Successful Stylist Academy podcast — for a conversation that started with a single word swap that changed everything for me. I've been talking about confidence on this show for a long time. Ambrosia showed me it was never confidence I was chasing. It was certainty.We get into her “5% method” — the practice of doing the one most painful task of your day, in just over an hour, as a way of proving to yourself you can be trusted. Because here's the thing: self-trust isn't built by getting it all right the first time. It's built by keeping small promises to yourself, over and over, until you have evidence you can't argue with.We talk about the hedonic treadmill, why our brains chase artificial pleasure instead of leaning into discomfort, and why so many of us — stylists, salon owners, high performers of every kind — are running from the very thing that would actually move us forward. Ambrosia also gets honest about the ego, the not-enoughness she inherited from her parents, and the moment she realized people genuinely don't care what you're doing nearly as much as you think they do. That's it, that's the whole thing, and it's more freeing than it sounds.In this episode, we cover:Why “certainty” is a more honest word than “confidence” — and how to build itThe 5% method: a simple daily practice for rebuilding self-trustHow the hedonic treadmill keeps us chasing pleasure instead of growthReverse-engineering your “if I just had ___” thinkingLetting go of control, curiosity over judgment, and why community gets smaller (and deeper) as you do this work personal development podcast for hairstylists, confidence vs certainty, self-trust for hairstylists, salon owner mindset podcast

In this episode, Rajeev Sajja sits down with Janet Nowlin, broker-owner of NextHome Integrity Realty, to discuss how agents can move beyond basic AI prompting and begin using AI to build tools, automate workflows, and solve real business problems.

Building a content ecosystem, turning readers into buyers, and solving problems for your audience with Emily Baksa. ----- Welcome to episode 577 of The Food Blogger Pro Podcast! This week on the podcast, Bjork interviews Emily Baksa from Craveworthy Copy. How to Stop Relying on Traffic and Start Building a Business Most food bloggers think about monetization in terms of ads, sponsored content, and affiliate marketing. But what if your content could do something more — actively nurturing readers into buyers and building a business that doesn't depend entirely on traffic? In this episode Emily and Bjork dig into the full picture of how to build a content ecosystem that converts — from the copy on your homepage to your email opt-ins to the products and experiences you sell. They talk about why your email list is the single most powerful connection-building tool you have and why you should focus on solving problems and offering solutions for your audience. Bjork also shares how Pinch of Yum made the leap into selling meal plans and got comfortable with selling — and why starting simpler than you think you need to is almost always the right move. Three episode takeaways: The three types of content every food blogger needs (and how they work together) — Emily breaks down the content framework she uses with food creator clients: visibility content (getting found), connection content (fostering relationships), and trust-building content (positioning you as the go-to resource). She and Bjork talk about how these three types of content form a marketing funnel and how shifting your focus from generating more traffic to building a more loyal audience changes everything about how you show up as a creator. How to get started selling products — Whether it's a meal plan, course, membership, or digital download, Emily makes the case that most food bloggers are closer to selling a product than they think. She walks through how to use lead magnets as beta tests to validate a concept before you invest in building it out and why solving one problem really well will always outperform trying to solve ten problems at once. How to get comfortable with selling and overcome the identity crisis that comes with it — For many food bloggers, the leap from free content creator to product seller comes with a real psychological hurdle. Bjork and Emily discuss how a focused niche makes both your marketing and your products stronger and how to position and market yourself in a way that feels authentic rather than salesy.

A doctor once told Rich Harwood's mother to face it, her son was a lemon. He's spent his life proving no one is disposable, and that even the most divided towns in America can build something together. Two minutes. Real impact. Leave a review:  lovethepodcast.com/politicsandreligion What does it take to heal a divided town? Less talking, says Rich Harwood. After almost 40 years running the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation, he's watched the poorest community in America and some of the most divided places in the country do what most of us have stopped believing is possible: build something together, across every line that's supposed to keep them apart. The conversation runs from Moses and Lincoln to a synagogue firebombing to the three working men who saved his life as a sick kid, and lands on a deceptively simple idea about what we owe one another. A few takeaways: Pull issues out of the political frame and people agree more than they think. Harwood works the reddest and bluest places in the country and says he can't tell who voted for whom. Ask people what they care about instead of who they voted for, and the same concerns surface everywhere: youth, seniors, mental health, belonging. Start small. Big comprehensive plans tend to collapse under their own weight. Real change starts with one modest step that catalyzes a chain reaction, the way practice dinners at a single church spread across an entire county in Reading, Pennsylvania. Turn outward. Sharing space begins with a posture, not a technique. Physically turn toward the other person, choose to see them, and lead with curiosity about what matters to them. About our guest: Rich Harwood is president and founder of the Harwood Institute for Public Innovation and the author of several books, most recently The New Civic Path: Restoring Our Belief in One Another and Our Nation (2024).

In this episode of the Loan Officer Podcast, host Dustin Owen is joined by Marketing Mike and Karina Mojica for an in-depth discussion on career progression for mortgage loan originators. Together, they take a comprehensive look at the typical journey of a loan officer, examining the various stages and transitions that professionals encounter as they advance in their careers. Dustin challenges the widespread assumption that moving into branch management or divisional management is the ultimate solution to career frustrations and plateaus. Instead, he argues that most loan officers would benefit more from developing stronger business systems and adopting an operator's mindset, which can lead to greater satisfaction and success within their current roles. Throughout the episode, Dustin methodically breaks down each stage of the mortgage loan originator's career path, starting with the rookie phase and moving all the way up to the divisional manager level. He outlines the realistic expectations, responsibilities, and potential pitfalls associated with each position, providing listeners with a clear understanding of what it truly means to progress within the industry. The conversation highlights the importance of setting achievable goals and maintaining a long-term perspective, rather than seeking quick fixes or assuming that a promotion will automatically resolve underlying issues. Key takeaways from the episode include the necessity of consistent lead generation, the value of reinvesting in your business, and the importance of building scalable processes that support both professional growth and personal well-being. Dustin, Mike, and Karina emphasize that achieving work-life harmony and long-term success in the mortgage industry requires a strategic approach, ongoing self-improvement, and a willingness to adapt. By focusing on these core principles, loan officers can create sustainable careers that offer both financial rewards and personal fulfillment. TLOP's Originator Coaching:

In episode 369 of The Real Jason Duncan Podcast, most high earners are sprinting toward a number that will never set them free — and the worst part is, everything around them says they're winning. Edward Collins, president and CEO of Up Level by Design, learned this truth the hard way. The year he finally hit seven figures in revenue, his accountant handed him a $352,000 tax bill — and in that single moment, across a mahogany desk buried in paper, his entire worldview shifted. He wasn't a millionaire. He'd made a million. There's a brutal difference. And if no one has ever explained that difference to you, this episode is going to cost you nothing and save you everything. In this episode, Jason and Edward break down: Why more income is a vanity metric — and what actually builds real wealth The exact moment Edward realized gross means nothing without net How the tax code is a recipe book, not a system designed to rob you The difference between assets and liabilities (and why most people have it backwards) Why your "stuff" isn't success — it's a liability parade you're funding The financial freedom formula in 10 words that changes how you see money forever How to stop the biggest wealth leaks: taxation, lifestyle drift, and capital misallocation Why being in the right room with the right people is the real shortcut to wealth What it costs you — over a decade and across generations — to stay inside this lie The one thing every entrepreneur should do first before investing a single dollar If you've ever gotten to the end of a great income year and wondered where the money went — this conversation is your answer.

Anthropic has warned about the next phase of 'recursive AI', where agents could become capable enough to build and train models themselves without human intervention. The idea is that “self-improving” armies of agents could create purely AI-run, zero-person companies that optimise while you're sleeping. If that's the story in Silicon Valley, in the UK Katie is at London Tech Week, where everyone from Prime Minister Keir Starmer to AMD's Lisa Su is focused on tech sovereignty and the question of who owns, controls and shapes AI, not just how fast the technology is advancing. Plus, Cisco's Jeetu Patel joins Danny and Katie to discuss the potentially catastrophic consequences of the agentic era for cybersecurity, and share his insights on the trillion-dollar IPOs potentially coming from OpenAI, SpaceX and Anthropic.Is Britain losing the AI race?
