Podcasts about Starting Point

Are You Winning a Game You Secretly Hate? This episode confronts a fear greater than failure: the fear of achieving success in a life you don't actually want. Anchored by a philosopher's poignant quote, Randy and Greg dissect the "wrong ladder" syndrome—the common trap of chasing societal or familial expectations at the expense of personal fulfillment and joy. They share deeply personal stories about climbing the corporate ladder, parental influence, and the courage it takes to pivot. Listeners will learn the importance of self-awareness, defining their own version of success, and practical, actionable steps to transition from a life of regret to one of purpose and time freedom. Key Takeaways: The greatest fear isn't failure, but succeeding at a game you never wanted to play. It takes immense courage to first recognize you're on the wrong ladder, and even more to choose a different one. Parental influence, whether direct or indirect, can unknowingly set you on a path that isn't true to yourself. True success often lies in consistency and enjoying the process, not just in the speed of achievement. Acceptance of your current situation is not giving up; it's establishing the necessary starting point for a meaningful pivot. A practical 3-step plan for leaving a life you don't want involves: 1) Focusing on personal development, 2) Getting your finances in order, and 3) Setting a firm date to make a change. Gratitude for what you've already accomplished can alleviate the anxiety of constantly striving for more   Questions Answered in This Episode: What is the one fear that is more important than the fear of failure? How do you recognize if you are "climbing the wrong ladder" in your career or life? What are the consequences of chasing a version of success that isn't your own? How can parental expectations influence your life path without you realizing it? What practical steps can you take today to start leaving a job or life you're unhappy with? Why is "acceptance" a powerful tool for change, not a sign of giving up? What is the true secret to long-term success if it isn't just about speed? How can gratitude help manage the anxiety of needing to achieve more?   Key People, Concepts, & Terms: People: Randy Wilson, Greg Junge, Bronnie Ware, Gary Vaynerchuk, Jim Rohn, Earl Nightingale, Steve Jobs.

I interview ChatGPT (calling it Alex) and challenge it to create a roadmap from zero skills to $1M ARR in five years. We break down the best skills to learn (coding, sales), how to choose a profitable niche, and why B2B SaaS for remote creative collaboration is a strong bet. I dive into practical steps: market research, MVP building, pricing, and B2B outreach. I reflect on sales cycles, pricing strategy, and the impact of AI tools on entrepreneurship. I question bootstrapping, validation, and staying ahead as the landscape rapidly evolves.Timestamps by PodSqueezeIntroduction and Episode Setup (00:00:00)  Naming ChatGPT and Framing the Challenge (00:02:09)  Defining “Rich” and Setting the Revenue Goal (00:03:10)  Defining the Starting Point and Essential Skills (00:04:03)  Learning to Code in the Age of AI (00:05:56)  Timeline for Learning Coding Skills (00:07:09)  Sales as an Alternative Path (00:08:02)  Combining Skills and Setting the Five-Year Plan (00:09:22)  Market Selection and Research (00:09:44)  Examples of Promising Markets (00:10:58)  Evaluating and Sizing a Market (00:12:01)  How to Research and Validate a Market (00:13:01)  Choosing the Best Market Right Now (00:14:06)  Existing Tools in the Remote Work Space (00:14:43)  Framework for Finding Opportunities in Remote Work (00:15:17)  Selecting a Specific Problem to Solve (00:16:20)  Zeroing in on a Concrete Product Idea (00:17:33)  Distribution and Go-to-Market Strategy (00:18:13)  Targeting and Reaching Decision Makers (00:19:19)  Preparation Timeline for Outreach (00:21:02)  Warming Up Specific Contacts (00:21:26)  Example Target Companies (00:22:06)  Pricing Strategy for B2B SaaS (00:22:48)  Justifying Tiered Pricing (00:24:14)  Timeline to Reach 1 Million IRR (00:25:09)  Step-by-Step Action Plan (00:26:33)  Closing and Reflections (00:28:03)  Final Thoughts and Outro (00:36:07)

In this episode of the Revenue Builders Podcast, hosts John McMahon and John Kaplan welcome Steve McCluskey to delve into the essentials of data-driven sales leadership. They discuss why a foundational "playbook" is crucial before implementing metrics, how to balance activity with accomplishment, and the importance of creating a simple, effective operating rhythm. Drawing on extensive experience, Steve shares practical examples, like the "Magnificent Seven" principle, to illustrate how leaders can use data not for micromanagement, but for targeted coaching, developing talent, and ultimately, driving predictable revenue growth.ADDITIONAL RESOURCESLearn more about Steve McCluskey:https://www.linkedin.com/in/stevemccluskey/Watch Force Management's Panel Discussion on AI in Sales Leadership: https://hubs.ly/Q03rlW4ZDownload the CRO Strategy Checklist: https://hubs.li/Q03f8LmX0Enjoying the podcast?

George Hanshaw, Director of eLearning Operations, shares his vision for a future where learning is integrated, engaging, and never boring. He talks about embracing AI, building a culture of experimentation, and why learning and development is the best place to spark organizational transformation. For George, it's all about starting small, iterating fast, and leading with a people-first mindset.Discover how AI-driven support and cultural architecture can drive meaningful change in organizations. Tune in for practical strategies and connect with George at hanshawshorizon.com or on LinkedIn.Show Notes:[0:25] Introducing George HanshawGeorge Hanshaw, an innovative creator and thought leader, is on a mission to eliminate boring learning. Known for his bold, action-first mindset, he brings energy and purpose to reimagining how we design impactful learning experiences.[1:02] The Future of Integrated LearningGeorge Hanshaw imagines a future where "the world gets really blurred" between work and training. He sees tools like augmented reality delivering just-in-time learning, eliminating the need to “clock in on a training number.” Instead, training becomes embedded in daily tasks, enhancing spatial awareness and enabling real-time skill application. As George puts it, “Somebody along the line decided learning was boring—when it's not supposed to be that way.”[4:00] AI Course Assistants and the Human TouchGeorge Hanshaw shares how his institution integrated AI course assistants—named “Spark”—into every course, offering students 24/7 support without replacing human instructors. Designed with Socratic-style prompts, Spark encourages back-and-forth conversations to boost understanding, clarify assignments, and enhance motivation. As George explains, this approach is “radically student-centred” and helps maintain, rather than diminish, the human connection in learning.[6:00] Start Small, Build SmartGeorge Hanshaw encourages a progressive approach to using AI in learning: “Start—just start somewhere—and then iterate outward in concentric circles.” He highlights the impact of using AI assistants for active learning, which led to a 20% increase in student performance. From course support to professor tools and hands-on practice, his method proves that small beginnings can lead to transformative results.[7:30] Shifting Culture for AI IntegrationGeorge points out that embracing AI requires more than just new tools—it demands a cultural shift. Rather than focusing solely on technology, he urges organizations to prioritize integration with a people-first approach. He highlights the importance of appointing a “cultural architect”—someone dedicated to designing the kind of workplace where innovation, learning, and AI-driven support can succeed.[09:40] L&D as a Starting Point for TransformationGeorge highlights Learning & Development as a powerful lever for cultural change, given its reach across all departments. He urges teams to “get comfortable with being uncomfortable,” and view experimentation as a pathway to growth. The message is clear: start small, iterate often, and use L&D to drive the mindset shift needed for the future of work.[12:40] Evolving L&D's Role in the BusinessWhen aligned with business outcomes, L&D can transform from a support function into a strategic partner. George emphasizes that by piloting initiatives and learning from what works—and what doesn't—L&D becomes more than a trainer. It becomes a collaborator, a problem-solver, and a vital force in shaping future-ready organizations.[13:18] Follow George HanshawYou can follow George Hanshaw on LinkedIn, where he actively shares insights on learning, innovation, and organizational transformation.

Most people think dental problems only affect their mouth, but that's where they're dead wrong. After my conversation with Dr. Jigar Gandhi, I'm convinced we've been missing a massive piece of the health optimisation puzzle, and this is where biological dentistry comes in. When I had my infected tooth removed, my shoulder pain, lung catch, and toe numbness disappeared within 48 hours, because each tooth connects to specific organ systems through 5,000-year-old meridian mapping. Your mouth is the gateway to chronic infections that can trigger autoimmune diseases, brain fog, and systemic inflammation throughout your entire body.  Join the Ultimate Human VIP community: https://bit.ly/4ai0Xwg Connect with Dr. Jigar Gandhi: Website: http://bit.ly/4l7hSX3 Website: http://bit.ly/3Goflsn YouTube: http://bit.ly/44EUv1c Instagram: http://bit.ly/4ezmKSy TikTok: http://bit.ly/4lfLIJe Find Authorised Biological Dentists:  http://bit.ly/4ntxxBD Study on Root Canals Causing Breast Cancer:  http://bit.ly/4lxgP2o IAOMT Position Paper on Human Jawbone Cavitations: http://bit.ly/3ZSDrlO Thank you to our partners: H2TABS - USE CODE “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4hMNdgg BODYHEALTH - USE CODE “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: http://bit.ly/4e5IjsV BAJA GOLD - USE CODE "ULTIMATE10" FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3WSBqUa EIGHT SLEEP - SAVE $350 ON THE POD 4 ULTRA WITH CODE “GARY”: https://bit.ly/3WkLd6E COLD LIFE - THE ULTIMATE HUMAN PLUNGE: https://bit.ly/4eULUKp WHOOP - GET 1 FREE MONTH WHEN YOU JOIN!: https://bit.ly/3VQ0nzW MASA CHIPS - GET 20% OFF YOUR FIRST ORDER: https://bit.ly/40LVY4y VANDY - USE CODE “ULTIMATE20” FOR 20% OFF: https://bit.ly/49Qr7WE AION - USE CODE “ULTIMATE10” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4h6KHAD A GAME - USE CODE “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: http://bit.ly/4kek1ij HAPBEE - FEEL BETTER & PERFORM AT YOUR BEST: https://bit.ly/4a6glfo CARAWAY - USE CODE “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/3Q1VmkC HEALF - GET 10% OFF YOUR ORDER: https://bit.ly/41HJg6S BIOPTIMIZERS - USE CODE “ULTIMATE” FOR 10% OFF: https://bit.ly/4inFfd7 RHO NUTRITION - USE CODE “ULTIMATE15” FOR 15% OFF: https://bit.ly/44fFza0 GENETIC TEST: ⁠https://bit.ly/3Yg1Uk9 Watch  the “Ultimate Human Podcast”: YouTube: https://bit.ly/3RPQYX8 Podcasts: https://bit.ly/3RQftU0 Connect with Gary Brecka: Instagram: https://bit.ly/3RPpnFs TikTok: https://bit.ly/4coJ8fo X.com: https://bit.ly/3Opc8tf Website: https://bit.ly/4eLDbdU Merch: https://bit.ly/4aBpOM1 Newsletter: https://bit.ly/47ejrws Ask Gary: https://bit.ly/3PEAJuG Timestamps: 00:00 Intro 04:14 What is an Organ? 07:15 Symptoms and Testings with Biological Dentistry 12:23 Inflammatory markers 15:00 Tooth removal and microscopic examination 17:02 Addressing Optimal Health with Biological Dentistry 19:26 Tooth removal procedure 21:08 Dental Medicine Taking the Spotlight 24:12 After a Root Canal 28:59 Outcomes after Biological Dentistry Procedures 30:54 Chronic and Autoimmune Disease Symptoms 39:27 Testimonials from Dr. Gandhi's Patients: http://bit.ly/4kBGGpj 46:26 Recognizing the Starting Point of the Existence of Diseases 51:38 Importance of Proper Oral Care Routine  56:41 When to See a Biological Dentist? 1:00:05 What does it mean to you to be an “Ultimate Human?” The Ultimate Human with Gary Brecka Podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

4.27.25 | "Your Breaking Point Is God's Starting Point: The Sky Is Always The Limit" | Rev. Judah Williams by The Rock Church of Fort Myers

In this message, Pastor Kenneth Mulkey explores the heart of biblical restoration and how God desires to bring healing and wholeness to every area of our lives. Through the stories of Job and the Shunammite woman, we see how God restores what is lost, broken, or missing—sometimes giving back more than we ever imagined. Be encouraged to trust in God's goodness and believe that restoration is not just possible, but promised.

In this second installment of our Spiritual Architecture series, we're diving into a powerful truth: salvation isn't the end goal—it's just the beginning. Too often we treat the moment of salvation as a finish line, when in reality, it's one of the first bricks in the foundation God lays for a life of deep transformation, intimacy, and Kingdom purpose. Throughout this series we will cover: Spiritual Architecture Salvation Identity Intimacy Repentance Discipleship  Truth Sanctification My story/My testimony  In this episode, I'm sharing my own reflections on what I believe it means to walk out our souls salvation continuously, in response to Jesus' sacrifice for our sins. I reflect on foundational [biblical truths] and some fundamentals of salvation. We reflect on the impact of God's love mentioned in John 3:16. It's my prayer that you expand on this list and add to it. Comment below and let me know of some fundamentals of the way you live out your salvation? Reflection Question: Have you accepted Jesus Christ as your Savior? Challenge: How have you taken your salvation for granted?  This week, take time to sit with that question in prayer. Ask God to show you where He wants to take you deeper, and recommit to growing beyond the basics of your faith.   Subscribe for content that inspires, motivates and empowers you.

In this episode of the Starting Point podcast, Jay Seegert welcomes Dr. Chris Rupe to discuss the controversial topic of human evolution, focusing on the famous fossil known as Lucy. Dr. Rupe shares his background in biology and geology, detailing his journey from doubt to confidence in the biblical account of creation. The conversation delves into the evidence surrounding Lucy, challenging traditional views and exploring the implications for understanding human origins from a biblical perspective. In this conversation, Dr. Christopher Rupe discusses the anatomical features of Lucy's hip, the implications of her reconstruction, and presents the Pygmy Human Hypothesis, arguing that Lucy was a small-bodied human rather than an ape. He highlights the significance of the knee joint and other features that align with human anatomy, challenging the traditional views of human evolution and suggesting that both Lucy and the Hobbit represent a population of pygmy humans. The discussion concludes with resources for further exploration of these ideas and the implications for understanding human origins.

Send us a textWayne Turmel, a fellow Canadian and podcast host, an author, and consultant for the Kevin Eikenberry Group, joins Trench Leadership to share hard-earned wisdom about creating high-performing teams across distances in our transformed work landscape. As a remote work pioneer, Wayne offers a refreshingly pragmatic perspective that cuts through the noise surrounding return-to-office debates.The conversation explores Wayne's 3-O Model of Leadership, which balances Outcomes, Others, and Ourselves. This framework helps leaders navigate the complexities of managing remote teams while avoiding burnout. For leaders navigating hybrid work arrangements, Wayne's advice is refreshingly straightforward: focus on the work that needs doing rather than where it happens. By approaching team design with intentionality and listening to employee needs, leaders can create more effective, engaged teams regardless of physical location. The key is pausing to think strategically rather than rushing back to familiar patterns.Wayne's Links:1. www.KevinEikenberry.com2. www.longdistanceteambook.com3. https://www.linkedin.com/in/wayneturmel/4. wayne@kevineikenberry.com5.

Nancy Pearcey, in her book Total Truth, brought something into focus that I had thought about but hadn't quite got together. She observed that a common weakness of evangelism is that we start with redemption. It's true, especially among evangelicals. When there is an altar call at the end of a sermon, it can't help but control the entire sermon. The object is to bring the sinner home. Evangelism starts with redemption.I have commented before about the signs we used to see on the sides of barns, and in neon lights on top of a temple in downtown Los Angeles: Jesus Saves. Yes, but what does that mean? Saves from what? Saves for what? What do you mean by that? I have heard Billy Graham cry out, Christ is the answer. Does anyone ever ask, Yes, but what was the question?Christian evangelism seemed to me to be all bound up in their own jargon. It is good that, in spite of all that, they found enough people who felt they needed saving from something and came to accept Christ. And some of these people experienced a changed life as a result.Nothing I am going to say here, and nothing Ms. Pearcey says, should diminish the idea of redemption in the least. That said, she advanced a kind of framework for a worldview composed of three elements: Creation, The Fall, Redemption. Her argument is that the place evangelism should start is not with redemption. It should start with creation. For without this truth at the foundation, nothing else means anything.Unless you believe in the creation, the idea of a fall is meaningless, and so is redemption. Man is just a terrible accident that the universe would have been better off without—except, without creation, there is no better or worse.
