In this special bonus episode of How to Study the Bible, author and podcaster Carol McLeod joins Nicole to talk about falling in love with Scripture, walking with the Holy Spirit, and staying faithful in every season. From early-morning verse memory at her kitchen table, to decades of quiet service before writing her twentieth book, Carol reminds us that small beginnings matter. “His presence is all the preparation you need.” She shares a striking insight from Mark 5/Luke 8—linking a 12-year illness and a 12-year-old girl—and offers a tender word for anyone hurting this Christmas: Jesus came to carry your griefs. "Christmas is especially for you if you’re hurting; Jesus came to carry your griefs.” What We Discuss: Model > mandate: Carol fell in love with Scripture because her dad lived it and invited her into his early-morning Bible time with intentional verse memory. Start small & be faithful: Ministry often begins with a handful of people—dorm devos, a living-room group—long before books and microphones. His presence prepares us: You can plan, but ultimately “His presence is all the preparation you need” when you teach or serve. A double 12: A fresh reading of Mark 5/Luke 8 (woman hemorrhaging 12 years; Jairus’ daughter aged 12) calls us to care for both women with wounds and the next generation of girls who need Jesus. Christmas is for the brokenhearted: Christ came not only to bear our sins but also to carry our griefs—especially good news for a hard holiday season. Bible Verse References (linked) Lamentations 3:22–23 — His mercies are new every morning. Mark 5:21–43 / Luke 8:40–56 — Jairus’ daughter & the woman with the issue of blood (“Talitha koum”). Isaiah 53:4 — He has borne our griefs and carried our sorrows. Want More? Subscribe to How to Study the Bible and leave a rating/review to help others find the show.

Scrappy ABM brings together host Mason Cosby and Yadin Porter de León, Director of Customer Stories and thought leadership over at Heroku, which is a part of Salesforce, to talk about going straight to the top of your target accounts without getting blacklisted.ㅤInstead of getting stuck in email blasts and third-party events that promise “rubbing elbows” with executives, Yadin shares a high-level framework that starts small with relationships your own C-suite already has, then builds proof points through web stories, webinars, podcasts, and thought leadership videos. The conversation walks through going top down from your CEO and bottoms up from directors and senior managers, doing the hard “eat your vegetables” work of segmentation, and mapping LinkedIn so you make it easy for leaders to say yes.ㅤThrough stories from Angel Med Flight, JetBlue, GE Healthcare, NASA Jet Propulsion Labs, Wells Fargo, Michael Dell, and a seven-figure deal, Mason and Yadin show how time and trust, podcasts, and truly helping individuals with their own goals can turn a focused ABM program into a powerful path to the C-suite.ㅤ

Scrappy targeting, small segments, and extreme empathy for the audience sit at the center of this conversation on Scrappy ABM. Host Mason Cosby sits down with Tyler Lessard, CMO at Technology Advice, to move from a broad “B2B marketing leaders or demand gen leaders” ICP to focused clusters of accounts where the team can win day after day.ㅤTyler walks through breaking a market into specific industry subsegments like cybersecurity software vendors and HR tech vendors, backing those choices with win rates, average deal size, and field-level sales feedback. The discussion follows how in-person activations at industry conferences, niche newsletters, and original buyer insights research become “reasons to reach out” for sales and SDR teams. Along the way, Mason and Tyler highlight small, specific ABM programs with one rep and a handful of target accounts, measuring success by whether the right people at the right accounts show up, engage, ask questions, and move into real conversations.ㅤ
Okay, we are pretty good storytellers... but are we telling the right story?As service design professionals, we nail it when it comes to what I call "Horizontal Storytelling". We can walk anyone through the customer journey, step-by-step, building empathy for the user's pain and frustration over time.But here is the somewhat inconvenient truth: As you might have experienced, your CEO or CFO often doesn't know what to do with that story. They are looking for something else. They need "Vertical Storytelling".They need to know how a specific pain point on the ground connects up to the strategic objectives of the business. They need to know the ROI. They need to know if the needle is actually moving.In episode 8 of the Journey Management Playbook series, Tingting Lin and I are closing the loop. We are moving from doing the work to measuring the impact.If you've ever struggled to justify prove that your journey management efforts are actually influencing the bottom line, this episode is for you.We dive into:How you can translate customer empathy into business language to get buy-in.Why you can't just rely on churn or NPS as your metrics, and how to find early warning signals that prove your work is having an effect now.How to connect your solutions back to the original business challenge to see if you actually solved the problem.And how to start measuring impact today without having to wait for perfect data integrations.This episode provides the missing link between "making mapping a journey" and "driving business outcomes."What is the one metric you struggle to track the most? Send me a reply or leave a comment on YouTube, we'd love to know where the biggest data hurdles are for you.Enjoy and keep making a positive impact!Be well, ~ Marc--- [ 1. LINKS
NOV. 25, 2025Start small, and keep a winning attitude. "Do not despise...small beginnings." Zec 4:10 NLTJuan grew up in Puerto Rico, the son of a sugarcane plantation foreman. One of a family of eight, he lived in a three-room shack with a dirt floor and no toilet. His first job, at age six, was driving oxen to plow the cane fields. He worked eight hours a day and earned one dollar. Juan said it was in the cane fields that he learned important lessons like being on time, work hard, and be loyal and respectful to your employers. His job and small income were a great source of self-esteem. At age seven he got a job at a golf course spotting balls for golfers, and he began to dream of playing golf and earning enough money to buy a bicycle. The more he dreamed, the more he thought, "Why not?" He made a golf club out of a guava limb and a piece of pipe, then hammered an empty tin can into a ball. Next, he dug two small holes in the ground and hit the ball back and forth between them. He practiced his "golf" with the same intensity he put into his job in the cane field, and he got good-very good. In his thirty-one years as a pro golfer, Juan "Chi Chi" Rodríguez won eight PGA tour events and twenty-four major tournaments, and he was the first Puerto Rican to be inducted into the World Golf Hall of Fame.What can we learn from him? Two things: (1) Be willing to start small. The Bible says, "Do not despise...small beginnings." (2) Be willing to think big because you serve a big God (See Eph 3:20).Start small, and keep a winning attitude Be willing to think big.Share This DevotionalSend us a textSupport the showChanging Lives | Building Strong Family | Impacting Our Community For Jesus Christ!
Episode 231 - Why Am I Feeling More Like The Grinch and Less Like Jolly Santa - Where Did My Love for the Holidays Go?Feeling indifferent or apathetic about the Christmas holidays, especially if you once loved the season, is more common than you might think. Many people lose their holiday joy over time due to changes in life circumstances, stress, or shifting priorities. If you're wondering where your love for the holidays has gone and how to navigate this season when you feel disconnected, here are some helpful approaches shared by others who've faced similar feelings:Start Small and Build Your Own Spirit: Don't wait for that magical feeling to return—begin by playing nostalgic Christmas music, putting up a few meaningful decorations, or watching a favorite holiday movie. Creating new or revisiting old traditions can gradually rekindle your excitement.Focus on What Matters to You: Let go of perfectionism or feeling obligated to do everything. Find one or two things that bring you comfort or joy—whether that's baking, cozy evenings in Christmas pajamas, or taking winter walks with a hot beverage.Create New Connections and Traditions: Engage with others by volunteering, donating, or simply reaching out to friends or family who may also be struggling. Generosity and connection can reignite the true spirit behind the holidays.Give Yourself Grace: Holiday apathy is okay. Be kind to yourself and acknowledge your feelings without guilt. Sometimes just accepting where you are emotionally can reduce stress.Add Visual Cues: Even if your heart isn't fully in it, small seasonal changes like lights, candles, or a wreath can create subtle reminders that help shift your mindset.Get Outside: Fresh air, exercise, and nature walks—even in chilly weather—can improve mood and help you feel more present.Seek What Sparks Joy for You: Whether it's singing carols, decorating a tiny tree, or making thoughtful gifts, engaging senses and doing activities you love can jumpstart holiday feelings.Remember, the holidays don't have one set definition or way to be celebrated. Find your own version that feels authentic and manageable, and gradually you may find your appreciation and joy returning.___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

This message challenges us to examine where our treasure truly lies and whether God holds the preeminent place in every area of our lives. Drawing from Matthew 6:21, we're reminded that where our treasure is, there our heart will be also. The sermon walks us through the biblical foundation of generosity, starting with Cain and Abel's offerings in Genesis, where we see that God desires our first and best, not our leftovers. Abel brought the firstborn of his flock in faith, while Cain brought what remained after the harvest. This principle echoes throughout Scripture: God gave first, loved first, and came first. Through Abraham's encounter with Melchizedek and the Old Testament practice of tithing, we see a consistent theme that giving isn't about God needing our resources, but about our hearts being aligned with His. The most powerful insight comes from recognizing that we are merely stewards of what belongs to God anyway. As Psalm 24:1 declares, the earth is the Lord's and everything in it. When we grasp that every breath we take, every dollar we earn, and every blessing we receive comes from Him, giving becomes an act of worship and gratitude rather than obligation. The question isn't whether God needs our money, but whether we trust Him enough to put Him first in all things.**Sermon Notes:****Introduction:**- Pastor Rick introduces himself and mentions the church's journey through the book of Romans.- He shares an impactful experience from a conference in Jacksonville, Florida, led by Pastor Joby Martin and Church of 1122.**Main Themes:**- **Culture of Generosity:** Pastor Rick felt corrected and inspired regarding his approach to giving.- **Importance of Giving:** Emphasis on giving as a reflection of gratitude and faith rather than obligation.**Key Scriptures:**- **Colossians 1:15-18:** Jesus is the image of the invisible God, preeminent in all things, emphasizing His centrality.- **Psalm 24:1:** Everything belongs to God; all creation and ownership are His.- **Matthew 6:19-21:** Storing treasures in heaven; where your treasure is, there your heart will be.- **1 Timothy 6:6-10:** Warning against the love of money and its destructive potential.**Principles of Giving:**- God wants the first and best of what we have as a demonstration of our faith, not leftovers (Genesis 4: Cain and Abel).- The story of Abraham and Melchizedek (Genesis 14) as an example of purposeful giving.- **Old Testament Tithe:** Explained as giving the first 10% of one's earnings for the support of the temple and community (Malachi 3).**New Testament Insights:**- **Matthew 23:23:** Jesus acknowledges the importance of tithing but prioritizes justice, mercy, and faith.- **New Testament Giving Principles (1 Corinthians 16):** Giving should be periodic, personal, planned, proportionate, and plentiful.**Pastor Rick's Personal Reflection:**- Rick shares his own journey in understanding and practicing generosity, emphasizing obedience and faithfulness in giving.**Conclusion:**- The ultimate model of giving is Jesus, who gave everything for humanity, prompting us to mirror that generosity in our lives.**Practical Applications:**1. **Evaluate Priorities:** Reflect on where your financial resources go, as it indicates where your heart truly lies.2. **Plan Your Giving:** Set a regular time to tithe or give, ensuring it is a thoughtful and purposeful act, not an afterthought.3. **Start Small if Necessary:** If a full tithe is daunting, begin with a smaller, consistent amount, and increase as your faith grows.4. **Teach Generosity:** Share the principle of giving with your family, emphasizing its importance and spiritual basis.**Discussion Questions:**1. How does recognizing God's ownership of everything change your perspective on your resources?2. In what ways can you ensure that your giving is from a place of gratitude and not obligation?3. Reflect on the principle "Where your treasure is, there your heart will be also." What does this reveal about your current heart posture?4. What steps can you take to make Jesus preeminent in all areas of your life, including your finances?5. Share a personal experience where you felt called to give. What was the impact of your obedience?By exploring these concepts, the sermon encourages personal reflection and practical steps toward embodying a culture of generosity in personal and community life.

Ever seen a kid turn a hobby into something you can touch, wear, or play? We sit down with two creators who prove that tiny steps can transform into big wins. First, Rochel Tzivia walks us through her sewing journey—from learning to thread a bobbin to designing and stitching her own Bas Mitzvah dress. She shares smart alteration tricks, how to rescue a too-short dress with a new tier, and why a dedicated sewing nook under the stairs changed everything. Along the way, she honors her great-grandmother's seamstress legacy and reminds us that the real craft is patience: pin, cut, sew, unpick, breathe, repeat.Then we meet Rafael, the ten-year-old cofounder of Mentsch Cards, a mitzvah trading card game you can find in Judaica shops and online. He breaks down how each card teaches a single mitzvah with fun facts and gameplay stats, how silver and gold cards work, and why you have to complete five real-life tasks to earn that shiny gold. Behind the scenes, he and his father researched Sefer HaChinuch and Rambam, hired an illustrator, found a factory, and partnered with a distributor—real product steps, kid-level heart. With 27 stores on board and plans for new languages, he's building a brand that turns collecting into character.What ties these stories together is a simple truth: small actions compound. A custom hem boosts confidence. A card pack nudges kindness at home. If you've got an idea, make the first version for yourself. Set up your space so starting is easy, share your progress, and let momentum grow. We're celebrating kids who finish what they start—and inviting you to do the same.If this inspired you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review. Your support helps us spotlight more incredible kids—and might be the nudge another young creator needs to begin.Support the show
On May 14, 2025, I presented live on the topic of subscription-based legal services to Shaun Jardine's Value Based Pricing Colony. Here are the top 5 takeaways:1. Start Small with Subscription Models: Law firms interested in moving to a subscription-based pricing model should begin with a pilot program in one practice area, targeting loyal clients and documenting results to build internal support.2. Value Over Time Tracking: The shift from billable hours to subscription or value-based pricing requires a mindset change—focus on the value delivered, not the time spent. This benefits both clients (predictability) and lawyers (better relationships, less stress).3. Tiered Service Packages and Scope Management: Successful subscription models often use tiered packages (e.g., bronze, silver, gold) with clear boundaries. It's important to positively reinforce clients who need more and move them up tiers, rather than penalizing them.4. Not All Clients or Practice Areas Are Equal: Subscription models may not fit every client or practice area, but with thoughtful segmentation and pricing, firms can attract ideal clients and avoid unprofitable work. It's okay—and often necessary—to turn away difficult or low-value clients.5. Market Opportunity and Innovation: There is a huge, underserved “latent legal market” of people and businesses who need legal help but can't afford traditional hourly rates. Subscription and alternative pricing models, supported by technology and automation, can unlock this market and drive innovation in legal services.__________________________Learn more about Shaun Jardine's Value Based Pricing Colony.Sign up for Paxton, my all-in-one AI legal assistant, helping me with legal research, analysis, drafting, and enhancing existing legal work product.Here's a link to purchase lifetime access to the recordings of My Shingle's AI Teach-In if you couldn't make it live.I've partnered with Pii to make it easy for you to purchase the hardware I use in my law firm: (1) Studio Setup; (2) Midrange Setup; (3) Highrange Setup.Get Connected with SixFifty, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for Gavel, an automation platform for law firms.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Visit Law Subscribed to subscribe to the weekly newsletter to listen from your web browser.Prefer monthly updates?

What does it really mean to do more good—and how can empathy spark genuine impact in our everyday lives? In this heartfelt episode of The Legendary Leaders Podcast, Cathleen O'Sullivan sits down with Neil Ghosh, social impact strategist, entrepreneur, and bestselling author of Do More Good, a book featuring voices from global icons like the Dalai Lama and Bill Clinton to everyday changemakers making a difference in their own communities. With over three decades of experience across 50+ countries and sectors, Neil has devoted his career to one question: How can we do more good together? From his childhood lessons in empathy growing up in Calcutta to his work uniting governments, businesses, and nonprofits, Neil reveals how compassion, courage, and curiosity can transform both our lives and the world around us. Together, Cathleen and Neil explore the framework behind his philosophy: GEMSS (Get Involved, Empower Others, Micro-Philanthropy, Show Up, Start Small) and why doing good doesn't always require money or grand gestures. They also discuss the importance of listening to empathy's whisper amid life's noise, leading with authenticity, raising the next generation with kindness, and finding purpose through action. This is a moving conversation about humanity, leadership, and how one small act of good can multiply far beyond what we imagine. Episode Timeline: 00:00 Welcome & introduction: redefining what it means to “do more good” 01:21 Meet Neil Ghosh: author, strategist, and global changemaker 03:45 Growing up in Calcutta: limited resources, unlimited empathy 06:31 The roots of Do More Good: stories that spark hope and courage 09:19 From awareness to action: turning empathy into engagement 11:23 The GEMSS framework for everyday impact 13:52 Moving from reactive to proactive living 17:07 The power of quiet: retreats, recharge, and self-empathy 19:30 Parenting and passing on empathy to the next generation 25:15 Leadership through compassion—even after personal challenges 29:28 Career pivots: from private sector to purpose-driven impact 34:11 When purpose calls louder than comfort 37:49 Authenticity, reinvention, and living a values-led life 42:00 Why helping others might just be the secret to happiness 46:32 The multiplier effect of kindness in communities 50:20 Lessons in empathy from neighbors, colleagues, and everyday life 55:40 Leading with empathy in organizations and business 57:00 The leaders who inspire Neil—and what true empathy looks like 01:05:25 Speaking up with courage (and when silence serves the mission) 01:12:01 Channeling anger into purpose: uniting through empathy 01:14:25 Final reflections: start small, stay consistent, and listen to empathy's whisper Key Takeaways: Doing good doesn't require wealth or influence—just intention. Begin with one act of kindness and let it ripple. Far from being “soft,” empathy is a strategic power for resilience, leadership, and unity. GEMSS Framework: Get involved, empower others, practice micro-philanthropy, show up, and start small. Tune out the noise of division and distraction to hear empathy's quiet call to action. Whether in parenting or leadership, people learn more from what we do than what we say. Growth is about becoming a better version of yourself—again and again. About Neil Ghosh: Neil Ghosh is a social impact strategist, entrepreneur, and author dedicated to amplifying empathy as a force for good. His book Do More Good—featuring stories from the Dalai Lama, Kevin Bacon, and everyday heroes—has become a #1 Amazon bestseller, inspiring individuals and organizations to lead with compassion. Over his 30-year career spanning 50 countries, Neil has worked across government, corporate, and nonprofit sectors, building bridges through purpose-driven initiatives. Today, he continues to mentor leaders, ignite conversations on empathy, and empower others to turn intention into impact.

Start Small, Do Something | A Conversation with Corinne Grimaldi
We are about to drop some wisdom today! It's amazing how much you learn over two and half decades of life. For today's episode, I was reflecting on 25-years in the brick & mortar space and the many lessons I've learned in the fitness, coaching, sports, and business world and woah…I came up with a lot.

If you've ever wondered how much you can (or should) take from your business—or why your bank account doesn't always feel as full as your profits say it should—this episode is for you!Glenn Harper and Julie Smith tackle a classic challenge faced by business owners—how do you actually pay yourself as an entrepreneur? Drawing inspiration from a recent lively dinner debate, Glenn and Julie talk about the difference between taking a draw versus running payroll, why cash flow discipline is crucial in those early ramen-noodle days, and the surprising tax realities every entrepreneur needs to understand. From the myth that business owners can “just take out whatever they want” to the essential 50% savings rule, this episode delivers practical advice on managing your money, setting boundaries, and knowing when—and how much—you should pay yourself. Additionally, they'll discuss why having a trusted advisor is important and preview upcoming deep dives into business structures and tax strategy. This episode is brought to you by PureTax, LLC. Tax preparation services without the pressure. When all you need is to get your tax return done, take the stress out of tax season by working with a firm that has simplified the process and the pricing. Find out more about how we started.Key Takeaways from the Episode:1. Don't Chase the Shiny Object (a.k.a. All That Cash in Your Business Account). It's tempting to pay yourself whatever's in the bank, but Glenn reminds us: “The more money you take out… the less money you have for the bad times or to invest back in your company.” Start by leaving enough cash cushion in your business to weather tough times and fund growth.2. Start Small, Think Big. When your business is getting off the ground, think like you're back in college—keep expenses lean and take only what you truly need. As Glenn puts it, “Pretend like you're back in college, eating ramen noodles and you can't take any money out.” Let your business account grow before ramping up payouts.3. Draws, Payroll, and the 50% Rule. If you're a sole proprietor or single-member LLC, you'll usually take draws (withdrawals) instead of payroll at first. But as your income grows (think $80k+), it might be more tax-efficient to become an S corp and start using payroll.Running a business doesn't have to run your life.Without a business partner who holds you accountable, it's easy to be so busy ‘doing' business that you don't have the right strategy to grow your business.Stop letting your business run you.

Life & Listings: Balancing Real Estate, Scaling Your Future w/ Jennifer Staats
Have a listen to this episode of the Life and Listings podcast as Jennifer Staats breaks down how to plan and host yearly community or sphere-of-influence events without the stress. From seasonal gatherings like Easter egg hunts and holiday parties to practical and cost-effective ideas such as shredding days, supply drives, and safety workshops, you'll learn how to create repeatable systems, track ROI, and maximize engagement. Jennifer also shares a free downloadable playbook packed with templates and SOPs to help you run smooth, budget-friendly, and impactful events year after year. Don't miss this episode filled with actionable strategies to make your events more effective and rewarding. “After that event wraps up, I want you to pause and I want you to reflect on what worked and what didn't. So you can repeat that if it really worked. You can repeat these over and over again, and these events are going to become more effective, less costly, and you're going to get a higher return on investment.” Check out these highlights from the discussion: Plan for Repeatability – When hosting an event, design it with the intention of repeating it yearly. Systems, templates, and documentation make it easier, more cost-effective, and more impactful over time. Start Small with Anchor Events – Focus on one to four recurring anchor events each year, such as seasonal celebrations, family-oriented activities, or community-based gatherings, to build consistency and engagement. Engagement Over Expense – Choose events that allow genuine interaction (e.g., barbecues, outdoor movies, safety workshops, or pet contests) rather than focusing on large budgets. Track Budget and ROI – Always record expenses, attendance, and outcomes. Tracking allows you to evaluate success, cut costs in future years, and measure the return on investment. Use Checklists and SOPs – Create a standardized checklist and document your processes (e.g., vendors, supplies, logistics) to streamline event planning and avoid repetitive mistakes. Reflect and Optimize – After each event, assess what worked and what didn't. Apply these insights to refine future events, making them easier to run, more effective, and more rewarding.

Have you ever thought, “I don't even know what would be restorative right now”? You're not alone. In fact, nearly 60% of women report spending no time on self-care most days, leaving them depleted and unsure how to fill their own tank. In this episode 155 of Medium Lady Talks, I share a practical way to bridge the gap between knowing you're exhausted and actually choosing something restorative. Building on Dr. Saundra Dalton-Smith's 7 Types of Rest, I introduce my simplified BEMS framework, four buckets you can reach for when you're too tired to think clearly: Body (hydrate, stretch, nap, walk) Emotions (cry, laugh, connect with someone safe) Mind (phone break, music, doodle, brain dump) Senses (dim the lights, light a candle, step outside) You'll hear why decision fatigue makes it so hard to choose rest, what the latest research tells us about the decline in maternal mental health, and how invisible labor and overstimulation drain us daily. (For reference, here's the JAMA study I mention: Trends and Disparities in Maternal Self-Reported Mental and Physical Health, 2016–2023). If you've been feeling flat, frazzled, or unsure how to restore yourself, this episode will give you a gentle place to start — one tiny action at a time. ✨ Bonus: Patreon subscribers can download the printable Restorative Cheat Sheet that turns this framework into an easy everyday tool - will be Published on Tuesday Sept 30

Want to start a conversation in Japanese but don't know what to say?In this episode, you'll learn 10 super easy Japanese words that are perfect for small talk.
In the last lesson, we explored how your own team needs to embrace a new role if you want to escape being treated as the “UX service desk.” But even if your team makes that shift, it's not enough.The truth is, you'll never have the time or resources to handle every touchpoint yourself. If you want user experience to really scale, you need to equip others across the organization to share the load.That doesn't mean they all become professional UX designers. It does mean they start taking more ownership of UX decisions in their projects.Let's recap why this shift is necessary before exploring what usually trips people up, and how to make those first moves without overwhelming anyone.Why Democratize UX?It's worth repeating myself, because this is so important: trying to do all the UX yourself is unsustainable.There are three strong reasons to start sharing responsibility:Resource limits. Even the best-staffed UX teams can't cover every product, campaign, or digital touchpoint. Democratization is the only way to scale.Organizational understanding. If you're the only one making user-centered decisions, the wider company never develops a shared appreciation of UX. It stays siloed.Bigger priorities. There are always strategic tasks (building a design system, auditing user journeys, or shaping long-term vision) that you never get to because you're tied up executing.Framing democratization this way helps people understand it's not about “pushing work off your plate.” It's about removing bottlenecks, growing organizational maturity, and freeing you to work on what matters most.How We Get in Our Own WayThe hardest part isn't colleagues resisting. It's us.UX practitioners often sabotage democratization without realizing it. Two impulses in particular are dangerous:Criticizing too quickly. When someone outside the team tries to run a survey or sketch a wireframe, it won't be perfect. But if your first instinct is to point out everything they got wrong, you kill their enthusiasm. A better approach is to acknowledge the effort and celebrate progress. Say something like, “This is a great first step. If you'd like feedback for next time, I'd be happy to help.” That way, they feel supported rather than embarrassed.Overcomplicating everything. We've spent years learning best practices and it's tempting to throw the whole textbook at people. But colleagues don't need a degree in cognitive psychology to clean up a page layout. They need a single, simple heuristic to get them started.A Simple ExampleWhen I help colleagues design a page, I don't lecture them about cognitive load, working memory, or progressive disclosure. Instead, I give them three simple questions to ask of every element:Can I remove this?If not, can I hide it?If not, can I shrink it?That's it. Just those three steps.Do they capture the full depth of interface design? Of course not. But they create cleaner, clearer pages almost immediately. And crucially, they give people confidence. Once they're comfortable with the basics, you can gradually introduce more advanced principles.The lesson here is to resist the urge to teach everything at once. UX is a huge field. Break it down into simple, usable steps that colleagues can actually apply.Start Small and Be StrategicAnother trap is trying to democratize UX across the whole organization in one go. That never works. You'll meet too much skepticism and spread yourself too thin.Instead, handpick your first allies. Look for:People who already value UX. They're the low-hanging fruit. Work with them and they'll amplify your message.People who keep asking for your help. They're motivated and will gladly take on more if you support them.People who feel the pain of poor UX. Marketing and customer support teams often fit here. They see first-hand the cost of bad experiences and are desperate for change.Invest heavily in these groups. Coach them. Provide resources. Sit with them through their first few attempts. Make your support visible.What happens next is important. Others will see the attention these teams are getting and want it too. When someone asks, “Why are you spending so much time with them?” you can respond, “I'd be glad to help you in the same way.” That's how momentum builds naturally.Setting ExpectationsI'm not suggesting you walk into the next all-hands meeting and declare, “From now on, everyone is a UX practitioner.” That's a fast way to scare people off.Instead, quietly build up examples of collaboration that work. Share success stories. Point to teams who ran a quick test or applied a simple design heuristic and saw results.Gradually, the narrative shifts. UX stops being “that team over there” and becomes “something we all do, with expert guidance.”You'll still face objections along the way; about time, skills, or risk. That's normal. In the next lesson, we'll explore the most common pushbacks you'll hear and how to respond without losing momentum.

How do you get your daughter to actually want to work on her mental game… without the sighs, eye rolls, or “Mom, stop”?This episode is packed with strategies to help you bring up mental training in a way that doesn't feel pushy, awkward, or like something's “wrong” with her. Instead, you'll learn how to spark curiosity, connect it to her goals, and make it fun.Here's what you'll hear inside: Why some athletes resist mental training at first and what makes them change their mind.A simple way to show your daughter that top athletes all work on their mindset.The secret to tying mental training directly to your daughter's personal goals so it clicks with her.Quick wins that make mental training feel exciting instead of overwhelming.A fun quiz that helps athletes see their “competitor style” and gets them talking about mindset.If you're tired of feeling like the “nagging mom” every time you bring this up, this episode is for you.
As I said in the last lesson, if your team doesn't change how it works, nobody else will either. This shift is not easy. It means asking your people to take on a very different role from what they're used to.The transformation has four pillars:Providing consultative services across the organization without owning every deliverableCreating resources like design systems and user research that others can useEnforcing standards and compliance with UX best practiceEducating colleagues so they can apply UX principles in their own projectsIt's no surprise that some team members might push back with, "I didn't sign up for this." Many enjoy building interfaces and being hands-on. But this new approach solves many of the frustrations they already face.Why the Shift Benefits Your TeamWhen I talk to designers about this change, I highlight several benefits:Greater influence at a strategic levelWhen your team steps back from just making screens, they get a seat at the big table. Instead of being brought in after decisions are made, they start helping shape the direction of products from day one. It's that shift from "make this pretty" to "help us figure out what to build" that most designers are secretly hoping for.Stronger career progression and better salariesLet's be honest - the ceiling for implementers is lower than for strategists. When your team becomes internal consultants and educators, they develop leadership skills that open doors to senior roles. I've seen designers nearly double their salaries by making this transition. The market values those who can guide others more than those who just deliver pixels.The chance to work on foundational projects like design systemsInstead of redesigning the same button for the fourteenth time, your team gets to build the systems that make those repetitive tasks unnecessary. Creating design systems, research repositories, and educational resources is deeply satisfying work. It's like building a machine that keeps producing value long after you've moved on to the next challenge.Less repetitive work and more variety in day-to-day tasksNo more spending six weeks on dropdown menus. This new approach means your team might facilitate a workshop on Monday, review designs on Tuesday, train colleagues on Wednesday, and develop standards on Thursday. The variety keeps things fresh and helps prevent burnout. I've noticed teams working this way seem genuinely happier. They're solving problems rather than just implementing solutions.That doesn't mean the change will be painless, but it does mean there are real rewards for embracing it.How to Support Your TeamYour job is to make this shift possible. That means three key things:Build confidence and provide supportThe biggest hurdle for most teams is simply believing they can do it. Be there alongside them during those early workshops, training sessions, and stakeholder meetings. Show them how it's done before asking them to take the lead.Shield them from organizational politicsWhen your team shifts their role, you'll inevitably hear complaints like, "Why aren't they building this for us anymore?" or "We need them to just make the screens, not tell us what to do."Your job is to absorb those questions yourself while your team gains confidence. Be the buffer that gives them space to grow into their new responsibilities without constantly defending themselves. This means taking some heat yourself, but that's part of leadership.Invest in proper training and resourcesNew roles demand new skills. That includes facilitation, coaching, documentation, and influence without authority. Make sure your team has access to the resources they need.This doesn't always mean expensive courses. Peer mentoring, shadowing opportunities, and practice sessions can be just as valuable. The key is to acknowledge that you're asking them to develop a different skillset and giving them the time and support to do so.Involve Them in Defining the New RoleThis can't be a top-down mandate. Invite your team to help shape what this transformation looks like. Rather than imposing changes, help them think through and adopt this new role themselves.Encourage them to imagine new possibilities by asking questions like:What would you want others to do differently if you had full control? This helps establish the standards they'd like to create.What resources or tools would you love to create for the organization? This identifies opportunities for building systems and repositories they're passionate about.What skills do you wish colleagues had that would make collaboration easier? This reveals educational initiatives your team might lead.What work would you gladly stop doing if you could? This clarifies which services they'd prefer to guide rather than execute.This isn't just consultation. It's a way to create excitement and ownership. When people help design their own future, they're far more likely to embrace it, even when it's challenging.Start Small and Learn TogetherDon't expect everything to change at once. Start by ringfencing one day a week for strategic work. Encourage lunch-and-learn sessions, create space for peer mentoring, and celebrate small wins.Most of all, take your team with you. If you don't, you'll be battling resistance on two fronts: inside and outside your group.In the next lesson, we'll look at how to democratize UX across the wider organization, turning colleagues into active participants in the process.

In this episode of Beyond the Letter, Adam and the team dive into the tension between dreaming big and staying faithful in the daily disciplines that move those dreams forward. Using the story of David—who went from shepherd to king—as a reminder, they emphasize that small, consistent steps of obedience often pave the way to the fulfillment of God-given visions.The conversation also challenges us to identify the areas where we most need help—whether it's discipline, clarity, or simply learning to embrace joy—because those very areas may hold the key to unlocking our full potential. This episode is a call to trust God's timing, cultivate faithfulness in the small things, and courageously pursue the dreams He's placed in our hearts.--Connect with:Pastor Adam Mesa https://www.instagram.com/amesa/Jermaine Baker https://www.instagram.com/verlonbakerofficial/--Don't forget to stay connected with us:Youtube https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC4OvpFp9OB9_DgVdVVbXhFgInstagram https://www.instagram.com/beyond.theletter/Tik Tok https://www.tiktok.com/discover/beyond-the-letter--Get Aaron Levy's book, JOHN: 21 Daily Drips of Dialogue: https://a.co/d/7lGB90i--Have a question?

The Uplift app is here! Try it free for 30 days Let's start with a truth that might shake up everything you've been taught: You were never created to move your body just to take up less space. I know—it's radical in a culture that worships “smaller,” but it's time we unlearn that noise and step into something better. Today, we're flipping the script on movement. Because let's be real—too often, it's been sold to us as punishment. As a way to earn worth or chase perfection. But that's not God's heart for you. What if movement wasn't about shrinking, but about celebrating? About stepping into your God-given strength, owning your energy, and living fully present in the body He designed for you? This episode is all about reclaiming movement—not to fix yourself, but to honor who you already are. It's a fresh perspective that'll shift how you move, why you move, and how you show up in your life with boldness and joy.

The Future of Your Business Includes AI Agents… And They're Not as Complicated as You Think In this episode, I sit down with my longtime friend and AI-savvy entrepreneur, Rick Mulready, to talk about something that's been blowing my mind lately → AI agents. You've heard about ChatGPT, and if you're an overachiever, you've even dabbled in CustomGPTs. But AI agents are the Mac Daddy of them all. Think, responding to data in real time, anticipating your project needs, and making reason-based decisions for you. And the best news? You don't need to be techie to start using them in your business. Rick breaks it down in the most approachable way… from what AI agents actually are, to how to start using them today to save time, improve workflows, and scale with less stress. Whether you're a solopreneur or you have a team, this episode will shift the way you think about efficiency and growth. HERE ARE THE 3 KEY TAKEAWAYS FROM THIS EPISODE: 1️⃣ AI Agents Aren't Just Fancy Chatbots, They Can Do the Work for You – AI agents don't just complete one task. You can give them goals, set parameters, and they'll take action, like researching, writing, posting, and even responding, without you lifting a finger (after you've trained them, of course). 2️⃣ Start Small, But Start Now – You won't nail it on the first try (and that's okay!). Rick explains how to begin with simple tasks like social media posts or inbox filtering so you can build confidence and see results fast. 3️⃣ The Right Tool + The Right Workflow = Magic – Tools like Relay.app make it simple to build workflows and integrate AI agents into your business. And when you pair that with ChatGPT and clear context, you've got a powerful team member working 24/7. RESOURCES MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: What's working in my business? I'll show you!
