We're kicking off Episode 40 with a fresh start to 2026 and a little gratitude for the fact that this podcast even exists. What started as a “let's just document things in real time” idea has turned into 40 episodes of consistency, progress, and behind-the-scenes life and business updates. That alone is a win.We talk about the chaos of the holidays, travel mishaps, brutal winter weather, and how sometimes just getting home safely feels like an accomplishment. From Christmas with family, kids organizing toys like engineers, to hunting trips that were more about camaraderie than success, it was a good reminder that seasons of life don't need to be perfect to be meaningful.We dive into fasting, ketosis, and why quarterly three-day fasts can be a powerful tool—especially when you're otherwise eating in a surplus and pushing performance. The goal isn't extremes, it's balance. Staying metabolically sharp while still building muscle is the long game.From there, we reflect on New Year's themes instead of resolutions. Progress is the word. Not massive overhauls, not identity crises—just consistent forward movement. I walk through a year-by-year timeline of major milestones over the past decade, and it's a good reminder that real momentum compounds when you commit, stay aligned, and don't jump ship every time something new pops up.We also give some transparency around product availability, shipping delays during the holidays, and what's actually happening behind the scenes. If something looks delayed, it's not because we're dragging our feet—we're moving fast, and sometimes carriers just can't keep up. We appreciate the patience more than people know.On the events side, we're fired up about upcoming meetups, retreats, Tough Mudder, seminars, competitions, and everything else stacked on the 2026 calendar. There's something happening almost every month, and the focus is making sure everything we touch is done right—not rushed, not sloppy, but genuinely high quality.We talk candidly about content, algorithms, and the frustration of seeing negativity rewarded online. The goal has never been to tear others down. It's to build something better, add value, and serve people in a way that actually improves their lives. That's the challenge moving forward—figuring out how to do that louder without compromising integrity.We wrap up by congratulating the Savage Shred winners, celebrating the transformations, and reminding everyone that long-term commitment beats short-term hacks every time. New year, same mission: progress, consistency, and doing things the right way.Greg Mahler is also a lifetime natural bodybuilder, and can be followed on Instagramhttps://www.instagram.com/ketogreg80/Register For My FREE Masterclass: https://www.ketobodybuilding.com/registration-2Get Keto Brick: https://www.ketobrick.com/Subscribe to the podcast: https://open.spotify.com/show/42cjJssghqD01bdWBxRYEg?si=1XYKmPXmR4eKw2O9gGCEuQ

 Max Reflects on His First Semester at College What really happens after you drop your kid off at college and drive away? In this special Whinypaluza episode, Rebecca Greene sits down with her son Max to talk honestly about his first semester of college. From academic pressure and adjusting to dorm life to finding motivation, building confidence, and learning how to truly learn, Max shares what surprised him most and what helped him succeed. This is a thoughtful, grounded conversation about growth, independence, and what support from home really looks like during that first big transition.Key Takeaways→ College success is less about memorizing and more about learning how to learn.→ The first semester adjustment takes time and that is completely normal.→ Professors matter more than students expect and shape the entire experience.→ Staying motivated comes from remembering why you are there in the first place.→ Support from home works best when it includes listening, flexibility, and trust.Why This Conversation MattersThis episode offers reassurance for parents navigating the emotional shift of letting go and insight for students who may feel overwhelmed or unsure during their first semester. Max's reflections remind listeners that growth happens through patience, persistence, and self belief.CTAIf you are a parent of a college student or a student preparing for that transition, this episode will resonate. Listen, share it with someone who needs encouragement, and remember to spend every day laughing, learning, and loving. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Infidelity can feel like one of the most devastating experiences a person can go through, and in this encore episode, I talk about why it cuts so deeply — and how healing is truly possible. I explore how betrayal impacts us not only emotionally, but at a primal level, threatening our sense of safety, belonging, and self-worth. I also share parts of my own story and explain how infidelity can reopen old, unhealed wounds that have nothing to do with our partner's choices. One of the most powerful frameworks I discuss is the Buddhist concept of the two arrows. The first arrow is the betrayal itself. The second arrow is the meaning we attach to it—the self-blame, shame, and stories that often create even more pain. While we cannot control the first arrow, we always have a choice about the second. Whether you are considering staying or leaving, this episode will help you understand how to reduce the impact of infidelity, reclaim your power, and stop hurting yourself with stories that are not true. Healing does not require perfection. It requires compassion, honesty, and courage. In this episode, I cover: Infidelity hurts deeply because of both biology and meaning The second arrow of self-blame is optional Your partner's choices are not a reflection of your worth Healing is possible, whether you stay or leave If you're ready to move forward with strength instead of shame, I invite you to reach out and take the next step in your healing journey.

What's the opposite of cancer? If you answered “cure,” “antidote,” or “antivenom” — you've obviously been reading the antonym section at www.merriam-webster.com/thesaurus/cancer.But today's guest Athena Aktipis says that the opposite of cancer is us: it's having a functional multicellular body that's cooperating effectively in order to make that multicellular body function.If, like us, you found her answer far more satisfying than the dictionary, maybe you could consider closing your dozens of merriam-webster.com tabs, and start listening to this podcast instead.Rebroadcast: this episode was originally released in January 2023.Links to learn more, video, and full transcript: https://80k.link/AA As Athena explains in her book The Cheating Cell, what we see with cancer is a breakdown in each of the foundations of cooperation that allowed multicellularity to arise: Cells will proliferate when they shouldn't. Cells won't die when they should. Cells won't engage in the kind of division of labour that they should. Cells won't do the jobs that they're supposed to do. Cells will monopolise resources. And cells will trash the environment.When we think about animals in the wild, or even bacteria living inside our cells, we understand that they're facing evolutionary pressures to figure out how they can replicate more; how they can get more resources; and how they can avoid predators — like lions, or antibiotics.We don't normally think of individual cells as acting as if they have their own interests like this. But cancer cells are actually facing similar kinds of evolutionary pressures within our bodies, with one major difference: they replicate much, much faster.Incredibly, the opportunity for evolution by natural selection to operate just over the course of cancer progression is easily faster than all of the evolutionary time that we have had as humans since Homo sapiens came about.Here's a quote from Athena:“So you have to shift your thinking to be like: the body is a world with all these different ecosystems in it, and the cells are existing on a time scale where, if we're going to map it onto anything like what we experience, a day is at least 10 years for them, right? So it's a very, very different way of thinking.”You can find compelling examples of cooperation and conflict all over the universe, so Rob and Athena don't stop with cancer. They also discuss:Cheating within cells themselvesCooperation in human societies as they exist today — and perhaps in the future, between civilisations spread across different planets or starsWhether it's too out-there to think of humans as engaging in cancerous behaviourWhy elephants get deadly cancers less often than humans, despite having way more cellsWhen a cell should commit suicideThe strategy of deliberately not treating cancer aggressivelySuperhuman cooperationAnd at the end of the episode, they cover Athena's new book Everything is Fine! How to Thrive in the Apocalypse, including:Staying happy while thinking about the apocalypsePractical steps to prepare for the apocalypseAnd whether a zombie apocalypse is already happening among Tasmanian devilsChapters:Rob's intro (00:00:00)The interview begins (00:02:22)Cooperation (00:06:12)Cancer (00:09:52)How multicellular life survives (00:20:10)Why our anti-contagious-cancer mechanisms are so successful (00:32:34)Why elephants get deadly cancers less often than humans (00:48:50)Life extension (01:02:00)Honour among cancer thieves (01:06:21)When a cell should commit suicide (01:14:00)When the human body deliberately produces tumours (01:19:58)Surprising approaches for managing cancer (01:25:47)Analogies to human cooperation (01:39:32)Applying the "not treating cancer aggressively" strategy to real life (01:55:29)Humanity on Earth, and Earth in the universe (02:01:53)Superhuman cooperation (02:08:51)Cheating within cells (02:15:17)Father's genes vs. mother's genes (02:26:18)Everything is Fine: How to Thrive in the Apocalypse (02:40:13)Do we really live in an era of unusual risk? (02:54:53)Staying happy while thinking about the apocalypse (02:58:50)Overrated worries about the apocalypse (03:13:11)The zombie apocalypse (03:22:35)Producer: Keiran HarrisAudio mastering: Milo McGuireTranscriptions: Katy Moore

What if staying small was actually the boldest move you could make in restaurants?Fred Piehl didn't come to San Diego chasing an empire; he came with Paris training, a place to sleep, and a 30–seat bistro he found on Craigslist that became The Smoking Goat.In this conversation, we break down why he and his wife Tammy treat restaurants like “leaky buckets,” how he built a life where skiing trips, summers in New Hampshire, and family dinners matter as much as Saturday covers and how he's resisted the pressure to scale for so many years.For operators who feel owned by their restaurants, this is a blueprint for taking your time, your profitability, and your joy back.To learn more about The Smoking Goat and One Door North, visit thesmokinggoatrestaurant.com._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

Penis performance issues are way more common than most people realize… and way more misunderstood than they need to be.

In this episode, I sit down with Shawn Nelson, founder and CEO of LoveSac, to share the real behind the scenes story of how LoveSac nearly failed and ultimately survived. Shawn walks through the moment quitting felt reasonable, the million dollar order that forced him to bet everything, and the grit required to build a business with no factory, no money, and no margin for error. We also dive into leadership lessons around ego, scaling through humility, staying present, and the daily practices that ground him as a founder and human. Key takeaways: Pressure can sharpen focus or break you depending on how you respond Bold action often comes before certainty Ego may start a business but humility scales it Hiring great people only works if you let them own their role Presence is built through daily habits, not personality Staying close to customers renews belief and clarity This episode is for founders, entrepreneurs, and leaders who are pushing through uncertainty, scaling a team, or questioning their next move. You will walk away with practical leadership insights, mindset shifts, and reminders that staying present, letting go of control, and committing to small daily habits can turn near failure into lasting success.

FREE Master Class: The Farm Marketing Fix Sign Up HERE Can you really build a profitable farm business while homeschooling, caring for family, and working from a small homestead? Jen Collins proves you can. In this episode of The Profitable Mindset Podcast, host Charlotte Smith sits down with client Jen Collins, owner of The Collins Cluckery in southeast Michigan. Jen raises pastured poultry and is launching farm classes—all from just a few acres. When Jen joined Farm Marketing Mastery nine months ago, she was selling chickens to friends and family and treating her farm "like a business" rather than running an actual business. She didn't have a marketing plan, struggled with confidence, and felt overwhelmed by where to start. Fast forward to today: Jen has grown her email list from 37 to 71 subscribers, increased annual sales from $4,000 to over $10,000 (a 127% increase), and developed the confidence to call herself a farmer and business owner. In this conversation, Jen gets real about the discomfort of putting herself out there, asking for email addresses, handling unsubscribes, and collecting payment from difficult customers. She also shares how tracking where her customers come from (church, a chiropractor's office, word of mouth) helped her focus her marketing efforts. If you're a woman over 40 wondering whether it's too late to start something new, or a small farmer unsure how to turn your hobby into income, this episode is for you. Click HERE and Let's Meet! Chat with us to see if Farm Marketing Mastery can break you out of marketing misery.

In this episode of How Married Are You, we respond to a listener email from a newly married wife who's quietly struggling with loneliness. Between long work hours, late nights, exhaustion, and limited time together, she's worried this season might become their new normal — and she doesn't want to come across as ungrateful or like a nag for wanting more connection.We talk honestly about marriage seasons, why hard rhythms don't automatically mean something is wrong, and how to tell the difference between a temporary grind and a deeper issue. Glen and Yvette share what they would do differently if they could revisit similar seasons in their own marriage, and why how you show up now impacts the seasons ahead.This conversation covers:How to survive a lonely season in marriageCommunicating needs without resentmentWhy seasons change (even when they feel endless)Staying connected when schedules don't alignBuilding support and community outside your spouseIf you're married and wondering, “Is this just a season — or is this our forever?” this episode is for you.Resources & LinksOrder the book: Father Yourself First https://www.amazon.com/Father-Yourself-First-Everything-Deserves/dp/1400252555]Order the book: Release • Rest • Remain https://a.co/d/ihBmSdO](https://a.co/d/ihBmSdOAudiobook: Listen to Glen read Father Yourself First wherever audiobooks are available.Premarital Advantage: Questions and worksheets for dating, engaged, and newlyweds https://howmarriedareyoupodcast.mykajabi.com/offers/VAbsx8N2Saturday Men's Group (Black men, 7 a.m. PT): Join the Father Meet-Up on Zoom https://us02web.zoom.us/j/81971875325?pwd=cY3k96A8j1b0WMLPHF5ym0bNSNaRdj.1Patreon Community: Access bonus conversations and behind-the-scenes content [https://www.patreon.com/HMAY](https://www.patreon.com/HMAY)

Why does it feel like everything is falling apart, even as our lives get materially easier in so many ways? Michael Hyatt talks with author and cultural thinker Virginia Postrel about why progress becomes invisible, how nostalgia for the “good old days” distorts reality, and why modern change moves unevenly.They explore why humans crave beauty and meaning (not just function) and how AI is reshaping the future of work. A clear theme emerges throughout the wide-ranging conversation: change is inevitable, and how we respond matters. Resilience, margin, and an entrepreneurial mindset make all the difference.If you've felt powerless against “big systems,” this episode is a reminder that innovation is often personal, practical, and close to home: start where you are, solve what you can, and expect the unexpected.Memorable Quotes“The issues of character never go away. They are eternal human questions, and we forget because we have sort of nostalgic views of the past.”“Even the smartest AI can't figure out what people want—what people are dissatisfied with. And a lot of innovation comes from that. We tend to focus on big technologies. And even big technologies come from a lot of incremental improvements… A lot of improvements come from people saying, ‘I'm dissatisfied with this,' or ‘Here's something I figured out.'”“Human beings don't just value function. They value pleasure, and they value meaning, and pleasure and meaning are things that are very much conveyed through the look and feel of objects or places.”“Agency is problem-solving. It's you solving problems in your life, or whatever that might be—and it's sort of reversed, too, which is that if you assume that it's someone else's job to solve your problem, you sort of give up your sense of agency.” “A lot of leadership is figuring out what gifts individuals have and getting them moving in the right direction… A big part of leadership as problem-solving is people problem-solving—getting people in the right roles and thinking about how those roles mesh.”“Expect that you're going to be in a world that changes, because that's the world we live in. It's the world we've been living in for hundreds of years. The other thing is: understand this didn't start with you. Other people have gone through amazing and scary and terrifying changes, and our civilization has lived to tell the tale.”Key TakeawaysProgress Becomes Invisible Quickly. We normalize improvements fast—and forget what life used to require in drudgery, time, and basic comforts.Change Is Uneven: Bits vs. Atoms. Software accelerates rapidly, while physical-world progress (like housing) can be slowed by policy, cost, and complexity.Dynamism vs. Stasis Shapes How We Face the Future. Some people see change as positive-sum opportunity; others experience it as zero-sum threat.Agency Grows Through Problem-Solving. When we assume “someone else” must fix things, we trade away our sense of control and possibility.Resilience Requires Margin. Financial cushion, emotional bandwidth, and community support help you absorb shocks and adapt.Entrepreneurship Is Bigger Than Business. You can be “entrepreneurial” by starting groups, building community, or solving everyday problems—not just launching companies.Resourcesvpostrel.com (Website)vpostrel.substack.com (Substack Newsletter)The Future and Its Enemies (Book)The Substance of Style (Book)The Power of Glamor (Book)The Fabric of Civilization (Book)Watch on YouTube at:  https://youtu.be/yCMHIdYYS-AThis episode was produced by Sarah Vorhees Wendel of VW Sound

The estimated value of the homes wiped out by the Eaton and Palisades fires one year ago? $27 billion. On a single street in Altadena, 15 houses were destroyed, including that of "Marketplace Morning Report" host David Brancaccio. This morning, Brancaccio checks in with two families on his block — one who decided to sell and one who's already partly rebuilt. Then, how will investors respond to this morning's private payroll data?

Welcome to Loan Officer Freedom, the #1 podcast in the country for loan officers, hosted by Carl White. In this episode, Carl sits down with Jonas Rosenberg, a top producing loan officer at Summit Funding, to share what happened when his entire team left and he was forced to rebuild his business from scratch. Jonas opens up about how that reset exposed unhealthy habits, pushed him to simplify his role, and ultimately helped him create more momentum with far less stress. Jonas explains how defining clear non negotiables around nights, weekends, and availability changed both his business and his marriage. He walks through why staying in his lane, trusting his LP1 and LP2, and focusing only on lead generation allowed his team to regain consistency faster than expected. You will also hear how Jonas drives steady production through visibility, community involvement, first time homebuyer classes, and strong past client relationships. He breaks down his lead targets, conversion math, and why being better known still outperforms flashy tactics and short term trends. If you want to close more loans without working more hours, build a team you can trust, and create boundaries that actually fuel growth, this conversation with Jonas Rosenberg delivers a powerful blueprint for sustainable success in the mortgage business.

I'm sharing a real look inside my own subscription box business. Not the highlight reel. The actual numbers, the launches that worked, the one that didn't, and the decisions that shaped where we're headed in 2026. The numbers never tell the whole story. But they also never lie. Always start by looking at your numbers.  I added 1,300 new subscribers in 2025.  What surprised me most? Some of our biggest growth didn't happen during launches at all. What happened between launches mattered more than I expected. May and September ended up being two of our strongest months. No cart open. No big push. Just momentum doing its job. What made the difference?  Staying visible instead of disappearing after launches Treating email like a growth tool, not just a reminder Paying close attention to who was already saying yes That's also why retention became such a big win this year: I'm ending 2025 with a 94% retention rate People weren't just buying a box once, they were staying One of my biggest - and somewhat unexpected wins - was my teacher tee subscription launch. My “baby subscription” doesn't always get a lot of attention. I ran a short, focused launch that doubled that subscription in just five days. Revenue told one story. Profit told another. After 8.5 years, I passed $6 million in subscription box sales. A huge milestone that felt great. But 2025 didn't end up being a record year. Revenue finished 4.8% down compared to the year before Profit margins increased by 12% That shift came from smarter buying, cleaner inventory, and fewer decisions made out of panic. You can be down in revenue and still be building a healthier business. Some things in 2025 were harder than they should've been. We ran into backend issues that affected payments, cash flow, and retention.  At the same time, social media visibility dropped hard. Content that used to perform just didn't. If you've ever felt like you're doing everything right and still not seeing traction, you're not imagining it. This was one of those years where pivoting mattered more than pushing. Where I'm putting my energy in 2026. I'm going all in on what's already working. That looks like: Growing subscriptions earlier in the year instead of waiting Putting more focus on email and paid ads between launches Cutting tools, products, and offers that don't earn their keep Letting subscriptions lead instead of chasing one-off ideas When I applied the 80/20 rule, the answer was obvious. Most of the revenue in my business comes from subscriptions. So that's where the focus stays. Before you plan anything, ask yourself this. As you head into 2026, I want you thinking about three simple questions: What worked - and how can you do more of it? What didn't - and what are you ready to let go of? Where do you actually want to go in 2026 - and what needs to change to get there? You don't need more ideas. You need fewer, better decisions. Join me for this episode for an honest look behind the scenes and a grounded way to think about what comes next in your own business.

In this episode of the Tactical Living Podcast, hosts Coach Ashlie Walton and Sergeant Clint Walton speak directly to a tension many first responders carry silently: loving the mission, believing in the work, and still feeling dangerously close to walking away (Amazon Affiliate). You're proud of what you do. You respect the badge. You believe in service. And yet… something inside you is tired, disillusioned, or quietly asking, "How much longer can I do this?" This episode gives language to that internal conflict—and helps you understand why pride and burnout can coexist without meaning you've failed or betrayed the job.

Inside, Albiona explores:→ Why "letting go isn't the hard part—it's staying" applies to both life changes and daily parenting moments→ The four reaction types parents default to when boundaries get tested: punisher, adjuster, panicker, and avoider→ Why we desperately seek agreement when we set boundaries (and why we don't actually need it)→ How to stop over-explaining to your kids—and to yourself→ What it looks like to parent yourself back home while parenting your children forward→ Why discomfort doesn't mean unsafe, and how to ground yourself when everything feels shakyShe also gets honest about her own journey away from perfectionism and achievement, the spaciousness she's choosing in 2026, and why slowing down has become one of her most important practices.This episode is for you if you've ever set a boundary and then immediately wanted to take it back. If you've felt the pull to adjust, explain, or rescue your child (or yourself) from discomfort.

In this inspiring episode of the Emory University series on Nurse Converse, host Dr. Everett Moss II, CRNA, sits down with three powerful voices from the Emory University School of Nursing—Dr. Beth Ann Swan, Dr. Shawana Moore, and recent graduate Sofi Igyan—to unpack one of the most misunderstood words in nursing: power.Together, they challenge the idea that power is something loud, aggressive, or purely positional. Instead, they explore power as the ability to influence change, whether you're an academic leader, an advanced practice nurse, or a new graduate stepping into the profession for the first time.Listeners will hear:Why power is deeply personal and often situational—shifting with the room you're in, the role you hold, and how others perceive you.How humility and silence can be profound sources of strength, including the concept of the “silent storm” and the impact of knowing when not to speak.The student and new-graduate perspective on power—how embracing agency, mentorship, and opportunities can transform the nursing school and early-career experience.The role of mentorship in cultivating influence and the responsibility to lift others as you rise.How storytelling and social media can serve as powerful platforms when nurses share lived experiences and credible information.Practical advice for nurses at every stage—from flowing like water through challenges, to embracing new opportunities, to navigating imposter syndrome.From redefining influence to owning your voice at any stage of a career, this conversation highlights the many forms of power nurses hold—and how harnessing that power can shape both individual careers and the future of the profession.>>8 Keys to Cultivating Power in Your Nursing CareerJump Ahead to Listen: [00:02:19] Understanding power and influence in nursing [00:04:43] Navigating personal power and professional presence [00:10:15] Influence within nursing's power structures [00:14:32] Elevating student confidence and empowerment [00:20:17] How nursing students shape conversations online [00:21:24] Examining influencers and credibility in nursing [00:26:01] Storytelling as a catalyst for impact [00:30:09] Mentorship as a foundation for future leaders [00:37:01] Staying open to unexpected opportunities [00:40:05] Adapting and “flowing like water” in your career [00:42:15] Growth through professional and personal challenges [00:47:00] Books and ideas that inspire empowered nursing practice For more information, full transcript and videos visit Nurse.org/podcastJoin our newsletter at nurse.org/joinInstagram: @nurse_orgTikTok: @nurse.orgFacebook: @nurse.orgYouTube: Nurse.org

As we say farewell to another year, I'm reminded that there are many times in our lives when we must say goodbye.  Many of those moments are unplanned, like the loss of a loved one, a dear pet, or even a job.  Today, I invite you to join me as I talk about how a meditation practice can help you navigate the losses you experience in your lives.  Since grief is such an individual process there's no way I can tell you how to effectively manage it, on or off the cushion.  What we will discuss is how the silence and stillness, at times very painful, can help you understand the process as it relates to you.   THANKS FOR LISTENING!

Abby Remore is a member at Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi (CSG Law) in Roseland, New Jersey, where she leads the firm's trademark and copyright practice group. Her practice focuses on protecting brands and creative works through litigation, enforcement, clearance, counseling, licensing, and prosecution of trademark and copyright applications. She has particular expertise litigating trademark and copyright disputes in federal courts and before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. Abby is president-elect of the New Jersey Women Lawyers Association. WHAT'S COVERED IN THIS EPISODE ABOUT BUILDING CAREER AUTONOMY AS A LAWYER Saying yes to every opportunity, volunteering for committees, and being the person others can count on helps associates build strong reputations and advance toward partnership. Once lawyers make partner, the job description changes. They're expected to continue producing excellent work while also developing business, leading teams, and contributing to firm management. Without recalibrating, the habits that earned the promotion can quickly become overwhelming. The transition requires intentional choices about what work means and how time gets allocated. Business development stops being something that happens when there's time left over and becomes a core responsibility. Delegation shifts from losing control to creating capacity for higher-value work. Stepping back from committees and saying no becomes necessary instead of optional. In this episode of The Lawyer's Edge, Elise talks with Abby Remore, an alumna of the inaugural Ignite Women's Business Development Accelerator cohort, about making the partnership transition successfully. They discuss redefining what counts as work, learning when to say no, why business development requires the same intentionality as billable work, and how lawyers can build careers that reflect their own values instead of copying someone else's blueprint. 2:52 - How Abby ended up in law without planning to be a private practice lawyer 7:11 - The challenge of transitioning from associate to leader and business generator 10:13 - How the job shifts when you make partner and why saying yes stops working 15:36 - What motivated Abby to join the Ignite program 18:01 - The biggest mindset shift: business development isn't just networking events 21:28 - Why BD and leadership development are about mindset, not just tactics 22:30 - The apprenticeship model is dying: why outside programs matter 25:49 - Staying intentional as an emerging rainmaker and avoiding old habits 28:26 - Changing your job description to include business development 31:30 - The curse of knowledge: advice for lawyers building their own vision of success Mentioned In Own Your Career: How Intentional Choices Create Autonomy for Lawyers Chiesa Shahinian & Giantomasi (CSG Law) | LinkedIn Abby Remore on LinkedIn New Jersey Women Lawyers Association Get connected with the coaching team: hello@thelawyersedge.com The Lawyer's Edge SPONSOR FOR THIS EPISODE Today's episode is brought to you by the Ignite Women's Business Development Accelerator, a 9-month business development program created BY women lawyers for women lawyers.

This is a special episode, highlighting a session from ELC Annual 2025! Bill Coughran (Partner @ Sequoia Capital & former SVP of Engineering @ Google) and Bret Reckard (Talent Partner @ The General Partnership) deconstruct the evolving role of engineering leadership in an era dominated by AI hype. Bill is a legendary leader who joined Google right after the .com bubble and has seen every major industry shift since. Drawing on his experience scaling Google and advising world-class startups, Bill shares why the best leaders are "catastrophic thinkers," how to balance servant leadership with the need for decisive action, and why AI is forcing every leader to return to their technical roots. Plus they cover enduring companies and real value capture in the AI era, the nuances of organizational design, the "apprentice model" for mentorship and the dangers of over-layered hierarchies that stifle speed. Bill also provides a candid look at leadership transitions, offering a tactical guide for those moving from Big Tech to early-stage startups. ABOUT BILL COUGHRANBill Coughran works as a founders' coach and partner at Sequoia Capital to help build spectacular technology-centric companies.

We take an honest look at her recent launches, including what worked, what didn't, and the lessons she's learned by launching again and again in a fast-moving space.We talk about the role of ads in boosting visibility and growth, why introducing paid elements earlier can strengthen a launch, and how maintaining your energy across multi-session experiences is just as important as your strategy behind the scenes. Carrie also shares how she uses urgency and scarcity without pressure, while building systems that make each launch feel more effortless over time.We also explore why testing and adapting is essential for traction, and how Carrie leans into systems and AI to simplify content creation and delivery—especially when balancing live sessions, community engagement, and personal well-being.3 Key Takeaways:1. Launch strategies are living, breathing things — not one-and-done blueprintsCarrie reminded me that no two launches are the same, and what worked last time might need tweaking next time. Staying curious, testing ideas, and adapting your approach is where real evolution happens.2. Paid elements and strategic urgency matter earlyWhen I introduce paid elements earlier in a launch — instead of waiting until the very end — it can validate demand and build momentum. Combining that with thoughtful urgency and clear deadlines helps people make decisions without feeling pressured.3. Systems and energy management are launch superpowersGetting clear on repeatable systems — from content planning to AI-assisted drafting — doesn't just make launches easier, it protects your energy. And in launch land, saving your energy = staying present with your audience.LINKS TO RESOURCES MENTIONED IN TODAY'S EPISODEConnect with Carrie Green on Website, Instagram, FacebookConnect with Teresa on Website, (Grow, Launch, Sell), Sign up to Teresa's email list

This week we're discussing Approaching the New Year with Renewed Perspective. For many solo parents, a new year does not arrive with excitement but with exhaustion, uncertainty, and a quiet fear that clarity cannot be trusted anymore. When past disappointments linger and the future feels fragile, it becomes easy to live in regret, worry, or self-blame. This episode speaks to the tension of living between what was and what might be, and why staying present, releasing control, and shifting perspective opens the door to peace and renewed hope. Today, we cover three main points: Staying present instead of living in the past. How ruminating on what-ifs and regrets fuels shame and keeps us from experiencing clarity and healing today. Finding peace in the middle of the "I don't knows." Why uncertainty triggers fear and control, and how grounding yourself in what you can do today creates stability even when answers are missing. Filtering life through gratitude, expectancy, and awareness. How choosing to notice what is good, expect growth, and stay aware reshapes your experience and helps you respond with steadiness instead of stress. Renewing perspective does not mean fixing everything at once. It means choosing presence over escape, trust over fear, and small intentional steps over overwhelm. Clarity grows when we stop borrowing pain from the past or fear from the future and learn to live fully in the day in front of us.

In this powerhouse episode of the Think Millions Podcast, host Dr. Alexa D'Agostino sits down with Timothy Rexius, CEO of Rexius Nutrition, Iron Heaven Gyms, and Omaha Protein Popcorn- for a raw, tactical, deep dive on building multi-million-dollar brands without outside funding, scaling through people, and turning “failure data” into breakout growth. From raising six kids while running three companies to a 20,000% relaunch after a day-one tradeshow flop, this convo is a masterclass in grit, systems, and brand clarity.Keys Parts of the Conversation:1:06 – 3:35 | Family as Fuel & Early Involvement How six kids became an asset in brand-building, softening the approach at events, and sparking product ideas—plus the “seven shared calendars” system that keeps life and business in sync.3:35 – 6:09 | Why Protein Popcorn Exists Solving a real problem at home: getting kids and older adults to consume protein. 600 batches later, candy-coated protein popcorn is born.13:18 – 14:06 | Be Somebody's Something Tim's mentor line: “Don't try to be everybody's everything—be somebody's something.” Staying in your lane beats carrying every product under the sun.17:25 – 18:12 | Tradeshow Faceplant → Breakout Pivot Day one: zero foot traffic. A Hershey's exec delivers brutal feedback; they add the words “Protein Popcorn,” and lines form for two straight days.18:54 – 19:10 | The 20,000% Relaunch Wife and daughters redesign the brand for the real buyer. New look, mascot, color system—demand explodes across 14 countries.21:53 – 23:31 | Scaling Through People, Not Heroics Selling stores to staff, franchising to insiders, and moving to a chairman role while partners run SOPs and day-to-day.23:45 – 24:18 | Permission to Innovate Empowering a 21-year-old operator to “step on my toes.” Merging Gen-Z ideas with seasoned strategy.24:30 – 25:23 | Owner Mindset at Every Level Profit sharing, equity for key team members (including his former nanny turned assistant), and why 200 “owner eyes” beat one founder.Great Quotes from the Podcast:“If I'm going to be broke, I might as well be happy and broke—not miserable and broke.”“Don't try to be everybody's everything—be somebody's something.”“The ability to shake a hand and cultivate a relationship creates repeat business you can't buy with ads.”“Our first expo day nobody stopped at the booth. Day two, one banner change to ‘Protein Popcorn' and there were thousands in line.”“Women make 80% of buying decisions—I was marketing to me. That had to change.”“I look at every employee as a long-term interview for a future partnership.”“When you give people ownership and profit sharing, you get 200 sets of owner-eyes on the business.”“The popcorn started as a way to trick my kids into getting protein—then the market told us we'd built a brand.”“Ego holds you in the operator seat. Let others lead so you can build the brand, the systems, and the future.”Resources:All Episodes: Think Millions PodcastQuestions or Comments: support@thynkconsultinggroup.comAlexa's Instagram: @dralexadagostinoAlexa's Website: AlexaD'Agostino.comBook a Discovery Call with Alexa: Discovery CallThynkFuel Agency: ThynkFuelMedia.com
