We're bringing back our May 2025 conversation with Denise Kirtley, the founder of Rebellion Body. As we look back on this message, Kirtley is preparing to head to the Super Age Games with the event's largest team yet, more than 50 women strong. Kirtley built her coaching business on the idea that midlife is not a decline to manage, but a version of life women get to design on purpose. In this conversation, she explains why belief, not willpower, is usually the first thing that has to change before a body does. She also gets into the backlash she receives for posting bikini photos in her fifties, her wariness about AI-generated bodies flooding social media, and why she thinks the phrase "50 is the new 30" gets the whole conversation backward. Listeners will come away with an answer to the question that stalls most people before they ever begin: what do you do on the days you don't feel motivated at all?Join Us at the 2026 Super Age Games!

Men, you need to stop chasing women who have not chosen you. The solution is not becoming cold or nasty. It is becoming more selective, reading the situation for what it actually is, and making sure your investment matches the investment coming back to you. Interest is not commitment. You have to let each step of the relationship be earned before you take the next step yourself. Stay on your purpose, pay attention to actual behavior, and reward reciprocity instead of potential. Show Notes: [04:48]#1 Stop treating interest like a commitment. [12:52]#2 Maintain a mission that is bigger than dating. [17:35]#3 Reward reciprocity, not potential.

There's a strange contradiction at the heart of some of life's most meaningful moments: you can create the conditions for them, but you can't command them to happen.

There's a number attached to every patient's chart that quietly shapes the resources they receive, the care they're offered, and whether their health conditions are fully seen — and most providers don't fully understand it. In this episode, Jamie sits down with Ericka Bauman, Director of Quality Assurance at Your Health, to break down the Risk Adjustment Factor — better known as the RAF score. Ericka has spent years traveling across Georgia and South Carolina, walking into provider offices, sitting with care teams, and doing the work of turning confusing data into meaningful patient outcomes. What you'll hear in this episode: What the RAF score actually is — explained the way Erica explains it to every team she visits, from providers to front desk staff Why most RAF scores are too low — and how underdocumenting a patient's conditions leaves them exposed to missed care, hospitalizations, and unmet needs The biggest misconception providers have about RAF (hint: it's not another box to check) How RAF and quality measurement are really asking the same question from two different angles — and why treating them separately is a mistake What changes for patients when care teams show up prepared, proactive, and looking at the whole person — not just the reason for today's visit The numbers will follow when you take care of the patient. This episode will show you how. www.YourHealth.Org

What does your bloodwork actually tell you about your health and performance?Lab results can be incredibly useful, but understanding them isn't as simple as looking for a number to fall inside a “normal” range.In this episode of Unfiltered Strength, we talk about the importance of looking at lab markers in context, understanding how different markers interact, and recognizing that there is a LOT of individual variation when it comes to health, hormones, recovery, and performance.Two people can have the exact same lab value and have very different symptoms, goals, circumstances, and outcomes.Your labs are data. They're not the entire story.We break down why context matters, why chasing individual numbers can be misleading, and how a more comprehensive approach can help you better understand what your bloodwork may actually be telling you.

Why does the thing you've been desperately wanting so often seem to arrive the moment you finally stop chasing it?In this episode of Sarah's Thoughts, Sarah explores why “letting go” may be more than just a manifestation cliché. When we become fixated on a particular outcome, stress can narrow our attention so intensely that we stop noticing opportunities that don't look exactly the way we expected them to.Sarah unpacks the idea of cognitive tunnelling, how pressure can keep us locked onto one version of what we think should happen, and why loosening our grip can allow us to see possibilities that may have been there all along.This isn't about giving up on what you want. It's about continuing to show up and do the work without demanding that life deliver the outcome in one particular way.Sometimes the opportunity doesn't come through the door you've been watching. Sometimes it comes sideways.And perhaps letting go isn't about wanting something less — it's about becoming open enough to recognise it when it finally arrives.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg#SarahsThoughts #SarahGrynberg #ALifeOfGreatness #Mindset #LettingGo #Manifestation #PersonalGrowth #MindsetCoach #SelfDevelopment #Psychology Hosted on Acast.

Many people believe building wealth means optimizing every dollar. The reality is that not every financial decision deserves your time and energy. In this episode of The Budgetdog Breakdown, I answer real listener questions about moving for a lower cost of living, planning for final expenses, managing inherited investments, credit card rewards, and deciding whether crypto belongs in your portfolio. We discuss why money shouldn't dictate your life, how to think about the value behind inherited assets, why chasing credit card points can be a distraction, and how the mindset behind an investment can matter more than the investment itself. Money isn't just about math. It's about where you choose to focus your time, energy, and attention. Episode Timeline and Highlights 00:00 Why wealthy people rely on systems 00:18 Should you move for a higher savings rate? 02:34 Planning for final expenses 03:42 What to do with inherited stocks 05:08 The truth about credit card points 08:28 Are you missing out on crypto? 10:10 Final thoughts Key Takeaways • Don't let money dictate every major life decision • Financial planning can create flexibility without uprooting your life • Inherited assets should be evaluated based on their value, not just their history • Credit card rewards aren't worth it if they encourage unnecessary spending • Your time and earning power are valuable financial assets • Long-term investing beats chasing quick returns • The mindset behind an investment matters Quotables "Wealthy people aren't wealthy because they win every day. They use systems that make losing hard." "Don't let your money dictate your life." "Your time on this earth is limited, and your energy is finite." "You're not missing anything. You're being smart." The goal isn't to win every financial game. It's to spend your time and money on the things that actually move you forward.

Impact is golf's moment of truth—but improving it does not require a perfect-looking swing. Mark Immelman is joined by longtime PGA professional Todd Brenkman for a practical conversation about solid contact, realistic expectations and learning to control where the golf club meets the ground. Drawing on lessons from Johnny Miller and Bobby Clampett, Todd explains why golfers should learn to brush the grass on the forward side of the ball, how the presence of the ball can change the bottom of the swing and why many players would improve faster by practicing without a ball. Mark and Todd also discuss ball position, uneven lies, wrist action, clubface control, functional misses and the dangers of immediately changing your swing after every poor shot. The episode includes simple drills that can help golfers of any ability develop better impact without becoming overwhelmed by technical swing thoughts. In This Episode, You'll Learn: Johnny Miller's simple key to solid iron contact - Why the club should brush the ground on the forward side of the ball How to practice impact without hitting golf balls. What it means to become “ball bound” - Why the presence of a golf ball can move your swing bottom backward. How solid-contact expectations should change based on your handicap - Why functional misses matter more than perfect shots. How to swing freely without steering the golf ball - Why grip and setup remain essential fundamentals. How chipping and punch shots can improve the full swing. Todd's tic-tac-toe bunker drill for controlling the bottom of the swing. How ball position should change with the club and the lie. Why practicing on uneven lies helps transfer your range game to the course. How one productive practice swing can improve contact and pace of play. Why wrist and forearm awareness can help square the clubface. The danger of blaming every poor strike on your swing. Why the clubhead should arrive at the right time—not necessarily be delayed. How to release the club without becoming afraid of “flipping,” and What to focus on when facing a pressure iron shot. Key Takeaways: Brush the Grass Forward of the Ball - Todd shares the foundational lesson he learned from Johnny Miller: draw a line representing the center of the golf ball and learn to brush the grass on the target side of that line. The goal is not to dig a massive divot. It is to develop awareness of where the club first contacts the ground and where the bottom of the swing occurs. Practice Without a Golf Ball - Golfers often become so focused on striking the ball that their natural movement and coordination disappear. Todd will sometimes conduct an entire first lesson without hitting a golf ball. Removing the ball reduces the urge to “hit” and allows the golfer to focus on landing the club correctly. Understand the Ball-Bound Effect - Bobby Clampett taught Todd that the presence of the golf ball can cause the bottom of a player's swing to move backward. A golfer may brush the ground several inches forward of a practice line without a ball, but move much closer to—or behind—the line when a ball is introduced. Learning to maintain the forward swing bottom with the ball present is a major component of consistent iron play. Set Realistic Expectations - Even great players do not strike every golf shot perfectly. Todd offers the following general expectations for solid strikes out of 10 shots: Bogey golfer: approximately one or two Mid-handicap golfer: approximately three or four Single-digit golfer: approximately five or six Elite amateur: approximately six or seven The remaining shots should become functional misses that stay in play and allow the golfer to continue scoring. Do Not Steer the Golf Ball - Trying too hard to manufacture perfect contact can cause the golfer to slow down, guide the club and lose athletic movement. Prepare carefully, then release the club as though you have no worries. A freely swinging club often produces better contact than a motion controlled by fear. Begin With Smaller Swings - Todd does not immediately move golfers into full swings. He begins with chips, punch shots and half swings so the golfer can learn how the club, wrists and arms should behave through impact. If a golfer cannot control impact at a slower speed with a short club, adding length and speed usually makes the problem worse. Use the Tic-Tac-Toe Bunker Drill Draw a tic-tac-toe grid in firm bunker sand and set the club over one of the intersections. Make swings without a golf ball and examine: Where the club entered the sand. Which direction the divot traveled. Whether the center of the club struck the intended intersection. Whether contact would have occurred on the toe or heel. The sand provides immediate feedback that is often more visible than turf. Calibrate Yourself to the Ground - Before playing a shot, make one small brush swing to determine where the ground is. This becomes particularly important on slopes and uneven lies, where a stock ball position may no longer match the bottom of the swing. One meaningful rehearsal is more useful—and faster—than several full-speed practice swings. Check the Simple Fix First - A poor shot does not always require a swing change. The golfer may simply have struck the toe or heel. Todd recalls moving one student only half an inch farther from the ball, immediately improving the player's strike and direction. Before rebuilding the swing, check setup, ball position and strike location. Focus Past the Golf Ball - When facing a pressure shot, Todd gathers the necessary information, uses a brush swing to calibrate the club to the ground and then focuses on sticking the finish. That finish-oriented intention encourages the golfer to send energy through and beyond the ball rather than stopping or steering at impact. Memorable Quotes:  “Learning how to brush the grass, to me, is fundamental number one in golf.” “More shots in the air than not. That's the goal.” “He or she who misses it the best wins.” “Release it like you've got no worries. At least you have no regret.” “Sometimes people are too quick to change what they're working on in search of something else.” “You've got to figure out where the ground is.” This podcasts is also available as a vodcast on YouTube.  Search for and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

What happens when you stop chasing finish lines and start chasing experiences? In this episode of Run the Riot, I sit down with Josh Sprague, founder of Orange Mud, for a conversation about ultrarunning, adventure racing, hydration, fueling, gear, strength, and why our relationship with endurance sports can change over time. Josh started Orange Mud after getting frustrated with the hydration options available to endurance athletes. His philosophy was simple: innovation from frustration. If he couldn't find the gear he wanted to use, he'd build it himself. That same willingness to experiment has followed Josh through hundreds of endurance events, including ultramarathons, adventure races, triathlons, mountain bike races, gravel events, and multi-day adventures. We get into some practical stuff every ultrarunner can use. Josh shares why he developed a habit of drinking every 15 minutes, how he measures exactly how much fluid he's getting from a hydration bladder, why he tests different flavors of the same nutrition product, and why he'll intentionally train with warm fluids before a hot race. We also talk about training your gut for ultra racing. Josh has learned the hard way that race day isn't the time to suddenly start eating everything that looks good at an aid station. If you plan to eat quesadillas, pizza, pickles, or other real food during your ultramarathon, you'd better find out during training how your stomach handles it. Of course, Josh also tells one of my favorite fueling stories I've heard in a while: carrying a Meat Lovers pizza around during an adventure race and eventually using it to fuel a charge up and over a mountain. But my favorite part of our conversation may be what happens when we move beyond training and racing. After years of chasing bigger distances and checking races off his list, Josh has found himself wanting something different. He wants to experience the adventure. We talk about the pressure of Strava, skipping time with friends because the training plan says you need to do intervals, stopping to look for arrowheads, and learning that not every run needs to produce an impressive number. Josh even tells the story of running right beside the Queen Mary during a race without ever noticing the enormous ship. There's probably a lesson in there for all of us. Don't get so focused on the finish line that you miss where you are. We also talk about Josh's simple challenge of completing at least 500 push-ups every week. What started as a small goal has now lasted more than a year, and Josh believes the added strength has made a noticeable difference in his running, cycling, paddling, and overall health. And somewhere along the way, we manage to talk about copperheads, Taco Bell, gas-station food, pickles, a 100-mile bike ride that was supposed to be 30 miles, and an incredible experience Josh had with his late golden retriever, Lady, during a 720-mile bike race. It's a fun conversation with a guy who understands that sometimes the best adventures are the ones that don't go according to plan. In This Episode How Josh started Orange Mud Innovation from frustration Adventure racing and ultrarunning Drinking every 15 minutes during endurance events Measuring your hydration rate Sodium and electrolytes for long races Training your gut for race-day nutrition Liquid calories versus real food Pizza as adventure-race fuel Why pickles can be so good during an ultra Josh's favorite trail race His incredible experience with Lady during a 720-mile bike race Competing versus experiencing The Strava trap Staying adventurous as we get older Josh's 500-pushup-per-week streak Why ultrarunners need strength training Connect with Josh Orange Mud:https://www.orangemud.com/ Run the Riot Coaching Have a big ultrarunning goal but aren't sure how to put all the pieces together?

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

Have you ever felt like you're the one doing all the work to keep a relationship alive? Many of us have poured our hearts into relationships where the effort wasn't equally returned, believing that if we tried harder or gave someone more time, things would change. But healthy relationships aren't sustained through pursuit—they're built on mutual care, consistency, and reciprocity. In this episode, we explore why we chase people who don't meet us halfway, the emotional cost of one-sided relationships, and how to recognize patterns over promises. You'll also learn how to step back without closing your heart and make room for people who genuinely reciprocate your effort. Because the right relationships shouldn't leave you questioning where you stand. They should remind you that you are valued, respected, and equally chosen.

Patrick Mahomes is somehow becoming underrated despite everything he has accomplished. Shaun Morash is in for Evan Roberts alongside Tiki Barber, and they push back on the idea that Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson should automatically rank ahead of Mahomes, with Shaun arguing that Mahomes still has a chance to become the best quarterback he has ever seen. The conversation expands into how NFL teams actually win championships, why elite quarterbacks or historic defenses usually define Super Bowl teams, and why the Jets eventually need to draft their long-term answer instead of settling for temporary fixes. Plus, Eli Manning's legacy gets reconsidered, the Bears emerge as a surprise Super Bowl pick, and Kodai Senga's move to high-leverage relief gives the surging Mets a potentially intriguing weapon.

Buying your first franchise is very different from buying your second, third, or fourth.   First-time franchise buyers often wrestle with fear, FOMO, passion, replacing their W-2 income, and finding the "next big thing." Experienced franchise owners tend to evaluate opportunities differently—looking harder at validation, risk, enterprise value, territory, systems, and long-term scalability.   In this episode of Franchise Secrets, Erik Van Horn and Bobby Brennan break down how the franchise investor mindset changes with experience, why even successful entrepreneurs can make emotional buying decisions, and what every franchise buyer should evaluate before signing.   You'll learn: • Why passion can cloud a franchise investment decision • How FOMO affects first-time buyers • Why experienced franchisees value validation • The risks of chasing emerging franchise trends • What "semi-absentee" really means • Why successful owners can become overconfident • How to think about multi-unit financial runway • What to validate before investing in a franchise   Timestamps: 00:00 First-Time vs. Experienced Franchise Buyers 02:41 The Danger of Buying a Franchise Based on Passion 06:40 Are Wellness Franchises the Next Big Thing? 09:51 Why Wealthy Investors Still Make Emotional Decisions 13:48 Stop Chasing the "Next Big Franchise" 17:34 The Truth About Semi-Absentee Franchises 21:34 What First-Time Buyers Actually Want 24:00 How Experienced Franchise Owners Think Differently 26:33 How Overconfidence Leads to Bad Franchise Decisions 30:43 The Financial Reality of Multi-Unit Franchising   Don't buy into the hype.

There is a moment in this conversation that I keep coming back to. Zvi Band said something simple that landed hard: most people treat relationship building as an organic thing, something they will just get around to when someone comes to mind. And that, he says, is exactly why it falls apart.Zvi started as a software developer who walked into networking events, made a lap, and walked straight back out. What changed was not a personality shift. It was a lightning-bolt moment when a startup disappeared overnight, and he was flooded with job offers and introductions, every one of them tracing back to a relationship already built.In this episode, we talk about the fear of reaching out after a long silence, the mindset shift that makes it easier, and why the relationships already in your world are worth far more than any new lead you could chase. Zvi also shares something I loved: we are only responsible for our second thought and our first action. That first voice that says they will think I am salesy? Let it be there. Then act from the second one instead.Key TakeawaysRelying on memory alone is why most people fail at staying in touch. A little structure changes everything.You do not need a perfect reason to reach out. "I thought of you today" is enough.Most CRMs are built around pipelines, not people. Relatable puts the relationship at the centre.That inner voice telling you reaching out will seem pushy? Ask yourself if it is actually true.The best relationship builders are not the most sophisticated; they are the ones who stayed in the game.Connect with Zvi BandWebsite: zviband.comRelatable CRM: bemorerelatable.comBook: Success is in Your Sphere — available wherever books are soldIn appreciation for being here, I have some gifts for you:A LinkedIn Checklist for setting up your fully optimized Profile:An opportunity to test drive the Follow Up system I recommend by checking this presentation page - you won't regret it.AND … Don't forget to connect with me on LinkedIn and be eligible for my complimentary LinkedIn profile audit – I do one each month for a lucky listener!Connect with me:http://JanicePorter.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/janiceporter/https://www.facebook.com/janiceporter1https://www.instagram.com/socjanice/Thanks for listening!Thanks so much for listening to our podcast!

Automation still depends on the rules, agreements, and project boundaries surrounding the payment.In this episode of It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R. Glass and Patricia Reszetylo discuss how contracts, payment policies, recurring billing, ACH withdrawals, and automated invoicing can support healthier cash flow.The conversation also examines scope creep. When clients repeatedly request additional designs, revisions, or deliverables without a formal change process, the resulting payment dispute may have started long before the invoice became overdue.Jennifer shares lessons from a large e-commerce website project involving repeated design changes and an unpaid balance. Patricia discusses her own experience allowing a project to expand beyond its original scope and the safeguards that could have prevented the problem.The episode covers setting revision limits, testing agreements against likely edge cases, involving an attorney in contract development, and defining what happens when ordinary payment reminders fail.This discussion is especially useful for consultants, agencies, contractors, and service-business owners who want more dependable payment collection, tighter project control, and fewer avoidable cash-flow problems.Keywords/Tags: It's The Bottom Line that Matters, Jennifer R.

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

Discipline gets all the credit, but your environment does most of the work.I'm Angela Shurina, and I'm unpacking a simple idea that can change your health, habits, and results fast WITHOUT more discipline.When you choose the right “everybody,” you stop relying on willpower to do hard things.If you've ever told yourself you just aren't disciplined enough to work out, eat well, wake up early, or stay consistent with your craft, this conversation is your permission slip to redesign the inputs instead of blaming your character.We look at the crowd you're currently copying and ask the uncomfortable question: do you actually want their outcomes? Because “everybody does it” is only a good guideline if you want what everybody gets. We talk about overindulgence culture, the cost of average norms, and why being the odd one out is often the price of real change.Then we get practical: how to build a better people diet by curating your tribe across different areas of life. If you want sustainable behavior change, self-discipline, productivity, and better health and fitness, start by choosing smarter comparisons.Subscribe, share this with one person who needs a reset, and leave a review with your answer: who is your everybody?Text Me Your Thoughts and IdeasSupport the showBrought to you by Angela Shurina  Certified Health, Sleep, Performance & Executive Coach 360 with 18 years of experience helping people change to feel, be and do their best.

Sixteen years ago, my very first podcast conversation was with my sales coach Matt Nettleton. So, naturally, when Matt came back to More Than A Few Words, we talked about how the fundamentals of good sales haven't changed all that much. Matt and I agree that when you're starting a business, a qualified prospect is often anyone with a pulse, a checkbook and the ability to fog a mirror. And that's okay. You have bills to pay. But eventually, you need to get a little pickier. We have talked for years about customers as deer, moose and elephants. The problem is, too many salespeople spend their days chasing squirrels and rabbits while trying to hit goals that require much bigger game. And then there's the really big elephant. What happens when you land a customer that's actually too big? Matt shared the story of a client preparing to chase an opportunity that would increase revenue by 50% in about 60 days. Sounds fabulous, right? Except they didn't have the people, cash or capacity to deliver. They walked away, found two customers that were a much better fit and ended up growing 30%. Sometimes saying no really is a growth strategy. In this episode of More Than A Few Words, Matt Nettleton and I talk about knowing who belongs in your sales pipeline, giving yourself permission to let bad prospects go and why the customers who got you here may not be the customers who take you where you want to go. And yes, after sixteen years, we're still talking about deer, moose and elephants.   ***************************************************** About Matt Nettleton For Indianapolis Business Owners Tired of the Revenue Roller Coaster | I Build Sales Engines That Forecast Accurately | Sandler-Certified | My Clients Have Closed $3.2B+ in New Sales | Book a 30-Min Diagnostic Call Matt is also the host of the Default Profitable podcast, where I interview successful small business owners and share valuable insights, tips, and trends on starting and running a business.

What if the secret to finishing a massive tabletop project is deciding you don't have to finish the whole thing? This week, James looks at using milestones to turn oversized projects into manageable chunks, using his 1973 Hall of Fame Starting Pitcher project as a real-world example. Plus, some thoughts on money, change, nostalgia, and why the sports we remember continue to shape what we play on the tabletop.

There is a particular grief that comes with outgrowing the people who once matched your pace, and no one tells you it is allowed to hurt and be right at the same time. In this conversation, Serena Low sits down with executive coach and author Steve Barton, creator of the Game of Ten framework, to explore what happens when old friendships fall away, old certainties dissolve, and the question underneath it resurfaces — am I enough as I am, right now, before I fix any thing? Barton, who built a family flower business from $200,000 to $2 million before a mental health awakening changed the course of his life, shares the concept of compassionate detachment (which he calls Tenkaré) as a way to care fully without absorbing other people's pain, and explains why chasing perfection is, in his words, a cat chasing its own tail. This is a conversation for the reader still in the messy middle of becoming who they already are.Questions AnsweredWhat is the Game of Ten framework and what does it mean to "already be a 10"?What is compassionate detachment, and why did Steve Barton coin the word Tenkaré?Why do friendships and relationships fall away during a period of personal growth?What is the difference between letting go of a person and letting go of a thought about that person?Are introversion and extroversion fixed traits, or learned responses to early conditioning?Why does the chase for perfection never resolve?How can helpers, coaches, and therapists avoid taking on other people's pain as their own?Key TakeawaysOutgrowing someone you love does not make you disloyal. It means you grew, and the grief that comes with that is allowed to exist without being fixed.Regrets and mistakes are not identity. The exhausting work of trying to earn approval assumes the two are the same thing - they never were.Compassionate detachment is not coldness. It is the boundary that lets a coach, therapist, or caregiver keep showing up without absorbing what was never theirs to carry.Introversion and extroversion were shaped early, in what got praised and what got silenced as a child; they are not fixed at birth.Letting go is not about the person, the place, or what happened. It is about releasing the thoughts still looping about them, and doing it for yourself, not for their apology.Perfectionism has no finish line because there was never a race. Chapters (approx.)00:00 — Welcome and introduction to Steve Barton01:20 — From the family flower shop to a $2 million business04:14 — The awakening: therapy, mental health, and what changed09:05 — When growth means people fall away09:54 — The train analogy: still on board as people come and go12:41 — Introducing the Game of Ten: you are the carrot, not the stick14:59 — Why we're afraid to be loved, and how thoughts became identity21:59 — Surrender and the hardest, most freeing thing: being yourself24:26 — Introversion, extroversion, and how personality gets conditioned27:16 — Compassionate detachment and the birth of "Tenkaré"33:19 — Skill versus identity: why perfectionism never ends36:37 — Awareness as the key that unlocks the chains37:04 — Where to find Steve: website, book, and LinkedIn39:31 — Closing thoughtsAbout Steve BartonSteve Barton is an executive coach, author, and creator of the Game of Ten, an awareness-based framework that helps leaders operate with greater clarity, confidence, and performance.

SummaryAre you tired of eating the same meals during fat loss? Before you completely change your diet, you may want to ask yourself if being a little bored is actually a bad thing.In this episode, Chase and Chris talk about why simple and even “boring” meals can make fat loss much easier. When you eat similar meals, you have fewer decisions to make. Grocery shopping gets easier, meal prep takes less work, and tracking your calories and macros becomes much simpler.But that does not mean you need to eat plain chicken, rice, and broccoli every day.Chase and Chris explain how to find the middle ground between eating the exact same foods every day and feeling like every meal needs to be a five-star experience. They share simple ways to create more variety by changing seasonings, sauces, sides, and how you put your meals together.They also talk about an important question: Are you actually bored with your meals, or are you craving more exciting and highly rewarding foods?You'll learn when food boredom is normal, when it might be time to change your meals, why hunger can make food cravings stronger during a fat loss phase, and how keeping most of your meals simple can actually give you MORE freedom to enjoy fun foods without feeling guilty.Fat loss does not have to mean eating foods you hate. But learning to be okay with some repetition may make reaching your goals a whole lot easier.Chapters(00:32) Are You Actually Bored With Your Fat Loss Meals?(01:46) Why Some Food Boredom Is Normal During Fat Loss(02:35) How Your Environment Changes Your Expectations Around Food(03:32) Why We Expect Dinner to Be a Big Experience(05:03) How the Way We Eat Has Changed(07:32) Not Every Meal Needs to Be Exciting(09:03) Finding the Middle Ground Between Boring and Fun Foods(10:21) Are You Making Your Own Diet Boring?(11:05) The Unexpected Kangaroo Meat Conversation(12:39) Why Simple Meals Make Fat Loss Easier(14:49) The Benefits of Eating Boring Staple Meals(16:23) When Should You Add More Variety?(17:47) The “Egg Ick” and Getting Burned Out on Foods(18:37) Don't Add Variety When You Don't Have Time for It(19:32) Too Many Food Choices Can Make Fat Loss Harder(20:49) Find a Few Go-To Meals That Work(22:10) How to Add Variety Without Reinventing Your Diet(22:46) Prep Your Protein and Change Everything Else(24:12) Build a List of Meals You Already Love(24:43) Please Season Your Food!(25:29) Low-Calorie Sauces and Condiments for More Flavor(26:21) Use “Anchor Meals” to Keep Your Week Simple(27:17) How Boring Meals Give You More Flexibility(28:32) Are You Bored or Just Craving Hyper-Palatable Foods?(29:56) How to Fit Cheeseburgers, Fries, and Fun Foods Into Fat Loss(30:40) How Your Taste Buds Change Based on What You Eat(32:35) Chase Tries McDonald's for the First Time in Four Years(33:27) Why Hunger Makes Food Boredom Worse(34:25) Stop Chasing a Five-Star Experience at Every Meal(35:09) Finding Your Balance Between Whole Foods and Fun Foods(36:13) What Food Are You Completely Sick of Right Now?SUBMIT YOUR QUESTIONS to be answered on the show: https://forms.gle/B6bpTBDYnDcbUkeD7How to Connect with Us:Chase's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/changing_chase/Chris' Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/conquer_fitness2021/Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/665770984678334/Interested in 1:1 Coaching: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/1on1-coachingJoin The Fit Fam Collective: https://conquerfitnessandnutrition.com/fit-fam-collective

Most legal teams aren't struggling to find AI tools; they're struggling to implement them in ways that are secure, scalable, and worth the investment. In this episode, David Cowen is joined by Josh Kreamer (Seedless) and Daniel Semelhack (JND) with validation, governance, and practical execution, not experimentation. If you're evaluating AI, leading innovation, or responsible for legal operations, this conversation provides a practical roadmap to move beyond proof of concept and turn AI into measurable business value. Key Topics Covered: Why AI adoption fails, and the four implementation stages every legal team must navigate: scoping, validation, governance, and adoption. The difference between AI adoption and AI utilization, and why only one delivers real ROI. Why testing AI with public datasets is a costly mistake, and how synthetic data produces far more reliable evaluations. How governance accelerates AI adoption by building trust, accountability, and defensible processes instead of slowing innovation. The growing risk of Shadow AI, why it's becoming one of legal's biggest governance challenges, and how organizations can stay ahead of it. Why stakeholder alignment from day one dramatically improves the success rate of enterprise AI initiatives. How practical frameworks, community collaboration, and continuous learning help legal professionals accelerate AI adoption and advance their careers.

https://teachhoops.com/ The box score says your team played great defense. Two blocks, four steals, plenty of highlights. So why did you give up 68 points? In this episode we tear into one of the most common lies in basketball: the idea that blocks and steals measure defensive quality. They don't. More often than not, they measure gambling, and gambling gets you beat. The stat that actually correlates with winning never shows up on the highlight reel. It's the deflection. A hand in the passing lane, a tipped dribble, a fingertip on the entry pass. When your team piles up deflections into the mid thirties for a game, wins follow at a remarkable clip, and this episode breaks down exactly why. Deflections destroy an offense's timing, create live ball chaos that turns into easy points the other way, and grind down opposing ball handlers until they crack late in games. But this is bigger than a stat. It's a culture play. Your players celebrate what you celebrate, and if your bench only erupts for dunks and blocks, you're training gamblers. We talk about why the deflection is the great equalizer: your least athletic kid can lead your team in deflections, and when effort stats become the currency of your program, every player on the roster has a way to get paid. That builds trust, and trust builds teams that play hard for each other. On the tactical side, you'll get four concrete coaching rules you can install this week. The active hands rule that turns every off ball possession into a threat. Why forcing ball handlers to their weak hand produces slower, wider passes that your help defenders can feast on. The difference between digging and reaching, and why one is a deflection while the other is a foul. And the closeout detail most coaches skip: high hands that take away vision and generate free offense off tipped passes. Then it's homework time. You'll hear a simple charting system any manager can run, a locker room posting trick that puts hustle stats on equal footing with scoring, a five minute practice segment where deflections count double and intensity goes through the roof, and a film study approach where you let your captains discover the pattern themselves without you saying a word. Whether you coach youth, middle school, or varsity, this one gives you a complete framework for turning defensive effort into something you can measure, teach, and celebrate.

In this episode, we tackle one of the biggest misconceptions in the fitness industry: how fast fat loss should actually happen. Social media has convinced many people that rapid transformations are the standard, but sustainable results are built much differently. We break down the difference between fat loss and weight loss, why crash diets almost always backfire, and what a realistic timeline for body transformation looks like. We also discuss body recomposition, the four phases of long-term success, and why saying no to shortcuts is one of the best decisions you can make for your health. If you've ever felt discouraged because your progress seems "too slow," this episode will help you redefine what success really looks like.We talk about:-focusing on sustainability-reframing “slow progress”-combating misinformation-understanding body recomposition-saying no to short cuts-valuing your selfTime Stamps: 0:00 Introduction3:14 the dangers of crash diets8:33 restriction leads to rebellion 10:58 fat loss versus weight loss 15:40 factors affecting weight loss26:05 what problems do you actually need to solve?28:49 social media is a lie35:20 what's a realistic fat loss timeline?39:57 why are you gaining weight?45:02 explaining the 4 phases48:16 consistency is progressCONNECT WITH KAIT & MAV:Get 1:1 coaching here: https://use.elev8coaching.net/cP72IzBGet our weekly emails: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/mailing-list4 Phases Ebook: https://go.maverickonlinecoaching.net/body-transformation-ebook Hosted on Acast.

Here's what nobody tells you: when a founder gets $47M in liquidity, they don't call you. They call their advisor. And by the time you find out they exist, the giving decision's already locked in with someone else.Most nonprofits are still running the old playbook. Cold outreach to newly wealthy people (who get 100 asks a day). Hoping they land on your website. Betting on a gala where you can somehow figure out if they have capacity. It doesn't work. And the reason is simple: you're chasing donors when you should be positioning yourself with their advisors.Here's the blind spot nobody talks about: the window to be top-of-mind after a liquidity event is 6 to 12 months. After that, it closes. The advisory team, wealth advisors, tax attorneys, family office managers, they're the ones steering the giving strategy. Not the donor. The donor's overwhelmed. The advisor's asking, "Where should you give?" And if your nonprofit isn't the one they think of, you're invisible.I walk through four systematic levers for accessing this wealth before anyone else does. The Advisor Play (one board connection can generate $250K–$300K annually in referred gifts). The DealBook Scan (fifteen minutes every Monday on Crunchbase finds you one warm outreach opportunity per week). The Candid Play (your profile needs to be the obvious choice when newly liquid people search). And Founder Networks (if you have founder board members, you have direct access to people already thinking about impact).These aren't lottery tickets. They're repeatable revenue streams. The math: one systematic scan nets you roughly six to twelve donors per year at $25K–$100K each. One strong advisor relationship can generate $125K–$500K over five years.The best time to position your nonprofit for newly liquid wealth was three years ago. The second-best time is Monday morning.Important Links:My Big Ask Gifts Program:⁠⁠⁠ https://go.rheawong.com/big-ask-gifts-program⁠⁠⁠My Book, Get That Money Honey:⁠⁠⁠ https://go.rheawong.com/get-that-money-honey⁠⁠⁠My Newsletter:⁠⁠⁠ https://www.rheawong.com/⁠⁠Join the Free Webinar: The Lapsed Donor Email That 10x'd a Gift

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

Are you tired of chasing one symptom after another without ever getting to the root? In this video, Prof. Spira breaks down the universal healing blueprint taught through Arnold Ehret's Mucusless Diet Healing System. Instead of looking at headaches, inflammation, constipation, congestion, pain, cravings, and chronic discomfort as separate problems, this video explores the deeper MDHS concept that many symptoms can be understood through obstruction, systemic constipation, and blocked elimination. You'll learn why the Transition Diet is not just a food list, why “food as a tool” matters, and why opening the avenues of elimination is central to the Mucusless Diet Healing System. This is a practical introduction to moving beyond symptom-chasing and beginning to understand the body through the lens of elimination, transition, and physiological liberation. Inside this video, we cover: - Why treating symptoms alone can become a never-ending cycle - Arnold Ehret's concept of disease as obstruction - The role of pus and mucus-forming foods - Why the Transition Diet is the practical bridge - How elimination, kidney filtration, colon cleansing, and rational fasting fit together - Why the Mucusless Diet Healing System is a full system, not just a diet If you're serious about learning the Mucusless Diet Healing System and want support applying it in real life, use the links below: Book a clarity call for Transition Diet Bootcamp: https://live.mucusfreelife.com/bootcamp-apply Register for the fasting workshop: https://go.mucusfreelife.com/fasting-workshop Join the Mucus-Free Life Membership: https://go.mucusfreelife.com/join-ytc Join the newsletter: https://bit.ly/mfl-fb-join Mucus-Free Life is an educational platform exploring the Mucusless Diet Healing System.

What if the very thing you’ve been searching for isn’t something you need to create—but something you already possess? In this episode, Debra explores the transformative concept of Signature Presence—the unique combination of your values, experiences, strengths, and authentic way of showing up in the world. Too often, we find ourselves chasing approval, comparing ourselves to others, or trying to become who we think people want us to be. But the truth is, the people who are meant to work with you, lead with you, and learn from you don’t need a polished imitation—they need the real you. You’ll discover why authenticity is your greatest competitive advantage, how people-pleasing erodes your confidence, and practical ways to reconnect with the presence that makes you unforgettable. It’s time to stop pretending, stop “pretzelizing” yourself to fit someone else’s expectations, and start owning the unique influence only you can bring. Because your signature presence isn’t something you earn—it’s something you choose to embrace.

"Do what you love and you'll never work a day in your life." I call BS on that. Business is work! Business is hard, and if it were easy, everyone would have one. I need you to hold some nuance with me today, because two things can be true: you can love your business AND you shouldn't rely on it to fill you up all the time. Chasing fun in your business is sabotaging your growth. That's what we're getting into.This week I'm talking about the lie we've been sold in the age of social media — that everything in our business needs to feel aligned and fun, or something's broken. It's not. Some of it is sticky, unglamorous, and gritty, and that's not a red flag, that's just business. For brand photographers especially, this one matters, because I see so many of you chasing that first-launch dopamine hit instead of building something sustainable — and burning yourself out switching things up instead of sitting with the discomfort of making what you have actually work.We're talking:Why "just outsource it" isn't always realistic (or smart) adviceThe sequencing mistake I made with my own outsourcingWhy I'll never fully hand off my Instagram, even with a social media managerChasing the dopamine hit vs. building something sustainableWhy "boring" and repetitive might be the most underrated business strategyThe truth about what your business is actually for (hint: not entertaining you)Links & Resources✨ Join Rebrand: My 12 month transformative brand and marketing program for photographers to build the visibility that gets them booked out.

What if everything you've been taught about money is wrong? In this conversation with high-level wealth strategist Elizabeth Ralph, we're exploring why wealth might be less about working harder and more about the energy, beliefs, and patterns shaping your relationship with abundance. We explore the fears, beliefs, and patterns that keep us stuck in scarcity, why money isn't linear, and what it means to create wealth from a place of trust instead of control. If you've ever avoided looking at your bank account, wondered why money feels so emotionally charged, or felt like you're constantly trying to "figure it all out," this episode is for you. Get ready to rethink abundance + open yourself to a completely new way of relating to wealth. We also talk about: Why conscious women need to participate in wealth The connection between self-worth + net worth The hidden beliefs keeping you stuck in scarcity The energetics of abundance + effortless wealth Why personal development can become another form of ego The difference between control + trust in manifestation How social media impacts our relationship with money The real meaning of legacy + legacy wealth How to create abundance by becoming, not by doing Resources: Get one free month of SI Club at: https://myrootabl.com/r/ezmSidp0?rootabl=almost30podcast Website: https://www.thespiritualinvestor.com/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/elizabethralph/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@Elizabeth_Ralph Sponsors: The Absorption Company | Start taking supplements your body can actually absorb.

Does your “dream job” really exist? You may know Emily Durham as Emily the Recruiter on social media, where she shares practical, refreshingly honest career advice and coaches people through the biggest professional decisions of their lives. Emily doesn't believe in the idea of a dream job. In this episode, she joins Anne to make the case for the “awake job” that actively fits into your purpose, lifestyle, and financial needs. Emily reflects on how her own purpose has evolved over time, and answers questions from listeners about how to gracefully quit a job, find a path forward when you feel stuck, and communicate your values to a potential employer.Featured guestFollow Emily Durham on Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and at https://emilydurham.org/Listen to Clock In with Emily DurhamConnect with the teamFollow Anne on Instagram and LinkedIn Follow Frances on Instagram and LinkedInWatch Fixable videos on youtube.com/@TEDPodsVisit Anne and Frances' websiteHave a question you want Anne and Frances to solve?
