How do you manage growing pains when bringing on a new employee while keeping your business running smoothly? That's the question one listener asked, and it's one many designers face when adding their first junior designer. Stepping into leadership, delegating effectively, and staying productive can feel like a delicate balance, especially when client projects and daily design work don't pause for training. This episode kicks off a two-part Q&A series following CEO Summer School. I dive into practical strategies for onboarding and managing a new team member, pinpointing where delegation often breaks down, and building systems that actually work. I also tackle how to make major business decisions when multiple exciting paths are available, whether that's growing your current business, pivoting to support other designers, or niching down further.

Why does so much around us feel "vaguely familiar"? In this episode, we dive deep into the creative malaise of our overstimulated world—where endless scrolling, constant content, and a deluge of data make everything seem slightly derivative and uninspiring. We unpack the concept of “vague familiarity” and examine why our passion for novelty is constantly dulled by today's information overload.To help us cut through the noise, we're joined by Andrew Robertson, chairman of BBDO and author of The Creative Shift. Andrew brings decades of frontline experience in fighting creative sameness at one of the world's most successful advertising agencies. We explore the sometimes uneasy balance between operational excellence and breakthrough creativity, and how organizations can make space for real innovation without falling for surface-level quick fixes.Along the way, we break down actionable principles for reigniting creative excitement, including finding inspiration at the "edges," practicing attentional minimalism, and prioritizing productive passion over passive consumption. Andrew shares compelling stories—including how Delta Airlines redefined the passenger experience by rethinking the real source of travel stress—and reveals what it really takes to recognize a great idea (even in risk-averse environments).Five Key Learnings from this Episode:Rediscover the Edges: Creativity flourishes at the intersections and boundaries of different disciplines and domains. Stepping outside your usual circles—whether it's through new conversations or learning in unfamiliar fields—leads to fresh insights.Practice Attentional Minimalism: With relentless digital noise, deliberate focus and margin are essential. Setting boundaries around your inputs and carving out undistracted time helps you notice what truly matters.Pursue Productive Passion: Creative energy comes from making, not just consuming. Progress and intrinsic motivation fuel innovation more than passive amusement.Define the Real Problem: The most effective solutions come from unwillingness to leap immediately to action. Every creative breakthrough begins by deeply diagnosing the real challenge, even if sitting with ambiguity feels uncomfortable.Manage Risk—Don't Chase Certainty: Seeking certainty kills originality. Instead, smart creative leaders evaluate the downside, manage risk, and are willing to act without guarantees—knowing that bold ideas don't come with precedents.Get full interviews and bonus content for free!

Stepping into entrepreneurship often starts with a decision, not a perfect plan. In this episode, we talk about the power of committing first and figuring it out later — leaning into bold moves, embracing risk, and surrounding yourself with the right environments that push you to grow. If you've been waiting for the “perfect time” to start, this conversation is your reminder that the leap itself is what creates the path forward.
Leverage Your Incredible Factor Business Podcast with Darnyelle Jervey Harmon, MBA
This episode is powered by The Move to Millions Ascension Archetype Quiz "Legacy isn't a line item—it's a lineage."– Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Most entrepreneurs are building for the next month. Legacy-Led CEOs are building for the next millennium. In this powerful kickoff to the Legacy-Led CEO Series, Dr. Darnyelle exposes the real reason your business still feels stalled—it's not strategy, it's identity. And chances are, you're still leading from a moment instead of anchoring into your mantle. This episode will disrupt your patterns, expand your capacity, and challenge you to stop scaling for significance and start stewarding for eternity. If you've been wondering why the same strategies aren't working, why you're tired even after success, or why your money doesn't feel as meaningful as it should…this conversation is your wake-up call. Because here's the truth: the most dangerous thing in your business right now is the smallness of your identity. Welcome to your invitation to stop playing small—and start leading like the movement you were born to be. Here's the truth: Most CEOs are tired because their identity is too small for the assignment they carry. You've been building from momentum—but your mantle is waiting. Hustle got you here. Obedience will take you higher. And until you embody the truth that legacy is an assignment, not an amount, you'll keep working harder than you have to for results that don't fulfill you. You'll walk away from this episode with a clear definition of what it means to be a Legacy-Led CEO™, the four levels of leadership identity and how to shift into your next and the real reason your success feels heavy, and what to do about it starting TODAY. Grab your Move to Millions Podcast Notebook, a pen and your favorite beverage and listen in to discover: ✔ How to shift from building a business to birthing a blueprint that will outlive you ✔How to recognize if you're operating from momentum or your mantle ✔How to align your leadership to create impact across generations ✔And so much more This episode is a call to reclaim your divine mandate to lead with legacy, not ego. Dr. Darnyelle redefines what it means to be a Legacy-Led CEO™, and it's not about titles, followers, or even your revenue. It's about spiritual obedience, energetic alignment, and generational responsibility. If you've ever felt like your growth doesn't match your impact, this episode reveals why. This is your invitation to stop chasing income and start carrying your mantle. You didn't build your business just to make payroll—you built it to make history. Turn off the distractions and tune in with your journal in hand, because Dr. Darnyelle is giving you language, strategy, and truth that will anchor your identity and shift how you scale from this moment forward..

A movement sanctifies you.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “Legacy is not an amount. It's an assignment.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “A Legacy-Led CEO doesn't scale chaotically—they steward strategically.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon “If you're still making decisions from doubt, you're not ready to hold the weight of wealth.” — Dr. Darnyelle Jervey Harmon Questions to Ask Yourself While Listening: Am I building for validation—or for a visitation from the future? Have I been operating like a tired operator instead of a Legacy-Led CEO? Where in my business am I scaling chaotically instead of stewarding strategically? What blueprint am I leaving behind—and for whom? Am I building from God's governance or from personal goals? Want more of Darnyelle?

What does it mean to be a prodigy who has to start over? Drew Hunter knows. Once hailed as the future of American distance running (he was the high school phenom who turned pro at 18 instead of going to college), his path has been anything but straightforward. The early years brought headlines and expectations, but also injuries, setbacks, and the sobering reality that talent alone doesn't guarantee success.After years of stop-and-start progress and searching for the right formula, Drew has redefined what it means to succeed in the sport. Now at 28, he's racing better than ever.Based in Boulder, Colorado, training under his parents, coaches Joan & Marc Hunter, he's shifted to a higher-mileage, consistency-first approach that has unlocked his best performances yet. Stepping away from Tinman Elite (the team he co-founded that helped change the way fans engage with professional running online) was another turning point, allowing him to focus less on hype and more on purpose, balance, and longevity.The results tell the story: a 1500m personal best of 3:33.41 in Los Angeles, a 10,000m best of 27:24.49 in California, a fourth-place finish at the USATF Outdoor 5000m, a gold medal at the NACAC 5000m Championships, and a podium at the Fifth Avenue Mile in New York City. And in true Drew Hunter fashion, his very first U.S. title came back in 2019 — out of the B heat indoors.Tap into the Drew Hunter Special.

We're thrilled to have a true songwriter's songwriter joining us, the incredibly talented Adam Wright.

The power of the written word: Adam shares his passion for books and how it informs his work. The obsessive process: We get into the nitty-gritty of what it takes to complete a song. Stepping into character: Adam reveals how he gets into the minds of the characters in his songs and if it's hard to step back out of them. The magic vs. the work: We explore the role of "magic" in songwriting and if it comes easily. "Heaven When I Die": We break down his powerful song from the new record.

Stepping into a new chapter with a different doctor can feel uncertain for many dental assistants. The routines you've relied on may suddenly change, the expectations may shift, and the comfortable rhythm of the practice can feel disrupted. Questions like why did this happen or where do I fit in now often surface, creating stress and doubt. But in every challenge lies opportunity. While some dental assistants struggle by holding onto the way things used to be, others discover how to adapt, stay proactive, and even grow into stronger roles within the practice. With a new doctor entering the picture, there's a chance to shape the future of the dental team, strengthen communication, and find ways to shine in the transition.

We launched our new 12-week series, Stepping into Life Together, with a message from Luke 15 that highlights the problem of the older brother—someone unable to accept the Father's love. The invitation is to take Step One of the 12 Steps: to admit our lives are unmanageable and we need help. God meets us even in desperation, turning our honesty into the first step toward grace, healing, and life together.

What keeps us from stepping into the life God has already set before us? In Numbers 13, Israel stood on the edge of promise, but their reluctance and distorted vision held them back. We face the same choice today—cling to the familiarity of the past or trust God with a new future. Join us this Sunday as we explore how to break patterns of hesitation and step into the freedom and fullness Jesus offers.

In this episode of The Soaring Child Podcast, host Dana Kay sits down with Ann Dolin, an award-winning educator, author, and expert in ADHD, executive function, and academic coaching. Together, they unpack one of the most common and stressful challenges for families raising kids with ADHD—homework. With over three decades of experience helping children who think and learn differently, Ann shares practical, tested strategies to reduce homework battles, build executive function skills, and bring more calm to busy evenings. Dana Kay, a Board-Certified Health and Nutrition Practitioner and founder of the ADHD Thrive Institute, approaches this topic as both a professional and a parent who's been in the trenches. Whether your child procrastinates, feels overwhelmed by multi-step directions, or struggles to get started, you'll walk away with actionable advice you can use tonight to make homework time more peaceful and productive. Link Mentioned in the Show: Educational Connections – https://ectutoring.com Book – Homework Made Simple: Tips, Tools, and Solutions for Stress-Free Homework Facebook – Educational Connections, Inc. | Alexandria VA Instagram – EC Virtual Tutoring & Coaching (@educationalconnections) YouTube – Ann Dolin Key Takeaways: [07:54] Practical tip: Break big assignments into smaller chunks and involve kids in deciding the order to build independence. [09:56] What executive function skills are and how weaknesses in these areas impact homework, focus, and emotions. [14:10] How to work collaboratively with teachers to modify homework and avoid nightly power struggles. [15:28] Why setting a homework start time is more effective than focusing only on the end time. [18:47] Using timers and the Pomodoro method to help kids with ADHD get started and stay on task. [21:05] Building confidence with specific positive feedback to shift mindset and motivation. [23:14] Stepping back and asking guiding questions instead of micromanaging homework. Memorable Moments: “It's not always about motivation. Sometimes it's about executive function.” “Most kids don't want to do poorly. They just don't know how to start.” “The number one thing that helps is structure and consistency.” “Procrastination isn't laziness — it's often overwhelm.” “Sometimes the best thing we can do is step back, not step in.” “A checklist is like a GPS for the brain.” “Kids with ADHD often need external reminders to manage time and tasks.” “When parents micromanage, it can actually backfire.” “Homework should never be a battle zone.” “Parents are doing the best they can with the tools they have.” How to Connect with Ann Dolin Website: https://ectutoring.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/educationalconnections/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/EducationalConnections Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/@annkdolin Dana Kay Resources:

You can find all three decks are listed in the Show Notes. PS - To register for the Full Moon Eclipse Healing Activation on Sept 7th at 1:30 pm ET, click here! Key Learnings: 1) Eclipses bring a time of sudden changes. This can manifest as an insight, or a door of opportunity opening. Mother Mary advises us to see this as a time of unexpected blessings! 2) The first card I pulled is from the Oracle of the Unicorns deck by Cordelia Francesca Brabbs. The card is Leadership! The message is simple and direct- ‘Step into your leadership, share your message and inspire and empower others!' 3) The second card from the Sacred Travelers deck by Denise Linn is Stepping into Power- this message is about taking back your power and walking your own path, which echoes the first card's message of leadership 4) The third card is from the Archangel Oracle deck by Diana Cooper and is Archangel Christine. She is your companion angel this month and invites you to accept and receive the Christ Light, and to act with wisdom and loving compassion. All three cards are inviting you to step up, follow your own path, inspire others and spread your light! “The eclipses of September invite you to heal your life by owning your power.” Click here to register for the Full Moon Eclipse Healing Activation on Sept 7th at 1:30 pm ET Click here to purchase the Oracle of the Unicorns deck Click here to purchase the Sacred Traveler Oracle deck Click here to purchase the Archangel Oracle cards Click here to join the Magnify Your Miracles membership If you love the image on the wall behind me of Mother Mary Blessing the World, you can order your own museum quality copy at www.deepaliu.com
In this episode of Case Studies, Casey is joined by John Jackson; a former gang leader who rose through the ranks of one of the most powerful prison organizations before choosing a path of transformation.
