The ability to repair anything always starts with accurately identifying the problem. Once identified, a plan for repair and restoration can begin. How can workplace education help to repair a nation? In this episode, Linda interviews Eric M. Johnson, President & Managing Partner at Arnold Motor Supply. They discuss his commitment to internal and external advocacy regarding the impact of public policy on paychecks and why he believes it is essential to repairing our nation and preserving freedom. He shares specific examples and recommendations for employers, such as using our Breakroom Economics® course, providing optional resources for employee self-education and advocacy, and aligning with industry partners to impact elected officials. Eric also detailed the need to discuss with employees any industry-specific policy proposals, such as the Right to Repair Act, which will greatly impact vehicle owners and the automotive repair industry. This episode provides relevant information for any employer, employee, or citizen who wants to protect the right to repair a vehicle, a business, or a nation.  ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Founders wear every hat—until the hats wear them out. In this straight-talk episode, Brandon Moon (CEO & Strategic Partner, TD Pine Advisors) breaks down how to go from owner-dependent chaos to scalable clarity. We unpack replacing yourself with the right operators, building simple systems, leveraging automation without losing the human touch, and shifting identity from doer to designer. If you're plateaued at 10% growth and stuck in 80-hour weeks, this conversation is your operating memo to scale sustainably, increase enterprise value, and protect your mental health.    About the Guest: Brandon Moon is CEO and Strategic Partner at TD Pine Advisors, where he helps founder-led companies reduce owner dependency, align teams, and grow valuation. He hosts “Coffee with TD Pine Advisors,” answering real questions from business owners navigating growth, change, and exit readiness.    Key Takeaways : • Owner dependency crushes enterprise value—design the business to function without you.• Audit your time: keep high-leverage work, outsource/offload bookkeeping and repeatables early.• Hire/contract operators (COO/plant manager) so you can focus on growth, not firefighting.• Automation/AI ≠ less personal; it frees time for deeper client relationships and BD.• Identity shift: move from running the business to designing the business (systems, culture, cadence).• Network weekly—your circle can be a growth engine or a cage.• Pride is a glass ceiling—surround yourself with people smarter than you to break plateaus.• Think legacy: every owner exits; build a company that thrives after you.   How to Connect with the Guest :  LinkedIn: search Brandon Moon (active on LinkedIn — best contact route). Website: tdpineadvisors.com — includes assessments and contact forms Brandon mentioned.

If you have ever needed a dose of courage, this episode is for you. Linda's guest, James Staake, joined the podcast with updates to the unbelievable story of cancel-culture chaos that occurred when their family business, Your American Flag Store, was censored, debanked, and nearly run out of business for simply making custom patriotic flags. Cancel culture affected millions of people over the last several years, and the example of what James and his family endured is indicative of what so many others similarly suffered. However, James chose to speak up against injustice - even when others tried to silence him. As a result, he has been able to positively impact policy in his state and around the country. James decided silence was not an option in the fight for freedom. His courage is contagious.

When Listening Becomes Healing: The Practice of Radical Listening  Professor Christian van Nieuwerburgh (PhD) is a leading academic, consultant, and executive coach whose work bridges the worlds of coaching, positive psychology, and human connection. He serves as Professor of Coaching and Positive Psychology at the Centre for Positive Health Sciences at RCSI University of Medicine and Health Sciences in Ireland and as a Strategic Partner for the Instructional Coaching Group in the United States. He is a certified executive coach through both the European Mentoring and Coaching Council (Master Practitioner) and the International Coaching Federation (Professional Certified Coach). Christian is widely published in the fields of coaching and positive psychology. His many books include Coaching in Education: Getting Better Results for Students, Educators and Parents, An Introduction to Coaching Skills: A Practical Guide, and Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection, with Robert Biswas-Diener.  In this episode, host Shay Beider and Dr. van Nieuwerburgh explore the transformative ideas in his new book, Radical Listening: The Art of True Connection. Christian shares that listening is both a skill and an art and describes the importance of setting a positive intention before engaging with others. He outlines six core listening skills: the internal skills of noticing, quieting, and accepting, and the external skills of acknowledging, questioning, and interjecting. Throughout the conversation, Christian and Shay discuss how listening itself can be a powerful intervention—especially in healthcare settings, where being seen, valued, and heard can promote healing. Drawing from personal experience, Christian highlights the role of compassion and presence in true connection. The duo also explore barriers to communication and how simple acts of acknowledgment—what John Gottman calls turning toward bids—can build stronger bonds. This episode invites us to approach each conversation as an opportunity for connection, compassion, and shared humanity. Listen to the complete episode by clicking the player above.

America has been blessed with legal immigrants who came willing to work, to learn the language, adapt to our culture, and to become contributing members of society. They did not come for hand-outs – they came to build a better life. The American Dream has inspired millions of native-born and immigrant citizens to flourish in freedom. Those born and raised in liberty often take it for granted, but those who have experienced tyranny know first-hand the warning signs of societal upheaval and collapse. Rimantas Jurevicius lived under Soviet rule and immigrated from Lithuania to pursue freedom and opportunity. He shares with Linda stories of persecution, survival, hope, and success, and he also shares warnings and concerns for the future of America if we do not preserve the God-given freedoms protected by our Constitution.  ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

Navigating managed vision care can be complex.  Between reimbursements, benefits, and patient expectations, finding the balance between patient satisfaction and profitability is no small feat. But what if the key isn't fighting the system, but understanding lesser-known opportunities that exist within managed care?  In this episode of Power Hour, host Eugene Shatsman sits down with Todd Lassone, Senior Manager for Strategic Partners at EssilorLuxottica, to unpack how practices can optimize their relationship with managed vision care plans. With over 30 years of industry experience — both in the exam lane and on the corporate side — Todd brings a refreshingly practical perspective on turning managed care into managed opportunity. 

Welcome to a special author's episode of The Data Chief, where we delve into the minds of three influential authors who are shaping the conversation around data and AI. First, Geoff Woods, author of The AI-Driven Leader, shares his philosophy of prioritizing strategy over technology to make faster, smarter decisions. Next, Wendy Batchelder, author of The Data Governance Handbook, discusses how to transform governance from a rigid bureaucracy into a business accelerator by focusing on business outcomes. Finally, Malcolm Hawker, author of The Data Hero Playbook, challenges data leaders to adopt a heroic mindset by becoming customer-driven and aligning their incentives with business success. Join us to learn how to lead effectively in the AI era by building a strategy-driven, governed, and customer-centric data function.The Data Chief Podcast: Author Episode Key MomentsGeoff Woods: The AI-Driven LeaderFrom "IT Problem" to Strategic Partner (06:20): Woods advocates for viewing AI as a "strategic thought partner" rather than an assistant or replacement, and emphasizes that AI strategy must align with business strategy.The CRIT Framework for Smarter Prompts (12:25): He introduces the CRIT framework for prompt engineering: Context, Role, Interview, Task. This method helps leaders get non-obvious, high-impact strategies from AI by having the AI ask the right questions.Beyond the Bottom Line: AI's Human Impact (22:17): Woods discusses the ROI of AI, including a case where AI identified savings equivalent to 2% of a company's revenue. Wendy Batchelder: The Data Governance HandbookData Governance as an Accelerator (32:33): Wendy Batchelder addresses the myth that data governance is a "dirty word" or a code for "no," arguing that its true purpose is to be an accelerator.Speaking the Language of Business (35:17): Batchelder emphasizes that data governance should be embedded from the start of a project, not as an afterthought. She provides an example of "bad" vs. "good" communication, urging data professionals to speak the language of the business.Measuring Value with Business Outcomes (40:00): She outlines how to measure the value of data governance by connecting it to business outcomes like increased revenue or improved customer service. Malcolm Hawker: The Data Hero PlaybookFrom Limiting Mindset to Growth Mindset (56:00): Hawker discusses why he wrote the book, calling the current moment a "do or die" opportunity for CDOs.

In this episode, I speak with Susan Roth, Senior Director of Marketing at Netrality Data Centers, about her remarkable journey from marketing leader to AI agent builder. Susan shared how she went from being uncertain about AI's role in marketing to becoming a pioneer in building sophisticated AI workflows and agents, while managing a small marketing team and investing significant personal time and resources into her education.What makes Susan's story particularly compelling for healthcare technology marketers is her practical approach to implementation. She's not just theorizing, she's actively using it to transform how a small marketing team operates. From editing video in minutes instead of hours to creating automated research workflows that cost just $1.50 per execution, Susan demonstrates how AI agents can enable small teams to compete at scale. She also offers a pragmatic yet optimistic view of AI's impact on the workforce, emphasizing that organizations will need people to manage and maintain these systems, and that the key is learning to work alongside AI rather than being replaced by it.For marketing leaders feeling overwhelmed by AI's rapid evolution, Susan's advice is straightforward: start small with low-risk use cases, embrace discomfort as part of the learning process, and remember that AI literacy is an ongoing journey rather than a destination. Her most important message is to "do it scared"—because waiting on the sidelines is no longer an option for marketers who want to remain competitive.Key Topics Covered[00:00:00] - Introduction[00:02:00] - Discovering AI as a Human Evolution Story[00:06:00] - Learning Resources: Marketing Profs B2B Forum[00:09:00] - Shifting Behavior: From Search Engine to Strategic Partner[00:10:00] - Introduction to Agentic Workflows[00:12:00] - The AI Build Lab: Four-Week Foundations Course[00:16:00] - The Builder Mindset for Marketers[00:18:00] - Key Tools: Notion, Typing Mind, and Cassidy[00:20:00] - Daily AI Applications in Marketing Work[00:21:00] - Use Cases: Research, Content Creation, and Video Production[00:25:00] - Building 50 Agents: From Research to Email[00:28:00] - The Cipher Agent: Automated Sales Research Workflow[00:31:00] - AI Adoption: Strategic Use vs. Individual Tools[00:33:00] - The Future of Marketing Teams: Humans and Agents Working Together[00:35:00] - The "Do More with Less" Question and Workforce Implications[00:37:00] - The Importance of Hiring and Training Young People[00:39:00] - Advice for Getting Started: Pick One Small Use Case[00:40:00] - Learning to Prompt and Using AI to Teach AI[00:41:00] - The Ongoing Journey: Being Comfortable with Being UncomfortableIf you are interested in discussing this or any other topic, let's have a chat.  Reach out to me directly to schedule a no-obligation discussion.

What happens when you realize great training isn't enough?That's the question Jess Almlie faced when she left the corporate world to build her own business and began discovering the limits of traditional learning and development. In this conversation, she shares the highs and lows of being self-employed, the lessons behind her new book L&D Order Taker No More, and why too many trainers set themselves up for failure by treating every problem as a “training problem.”Jess explains how she learned the hard way that even the best-designed programs can fall flat if they're not addressing the real issue. Misaligned systems, unclear expectations, or poor management habits can't be fixed by a course or a workshop. Her solution: stop acting like helpers and start showing up as strategic partners. That means slowing down, asking sharper questions, and resisting the urge to plug in training as the default answer.We also talk about the process of writing a book—how years of blogging, experimenting, and testing ideas gradually turned into a practical handbook that every learning leader wishes they had when moving from order taker to business partner. Jess pulls back the curtain on how she made that transition and what it takes to create lasting impact inside organizations.If you've ever wondered how to stop spinning out content that doesn't move the needle—or if you've thought about writing your own book—this episode will resonate.

Political polling and punditry often go hand in hand; however, polls can be structured to bring forth reactions sought by funders of the polls. This can lead to propagandized messaging and an inaccurate understanding of people's true opinions. While polling can never be perfect, the best pollsters will dig deeper in questioning to discover truth, not just answers to support a preferred narrative. In this episode, Linda interviews Mark Mitchell, head pollster at Rasmussen Reports. Mark's extensive and diverse military and business career provides unique insights into structuring polls for maximum accuracy. As a proven and trusted voice in political insights, his commentary will shed light on what's really happening in the hearts and minds of American citizens and will inspire listeners to support freedom.

Are you positioning your consulting or coaching as a service provider or as a strategic partner? In this episode, I break down the difference, the trap most of us fall into, and how you can start shifting into the role that positions your consulting or coaching for greater influence. This is the question I'm diving into as I kick off my new series, From Service Provider to Strategic Partner. I'll walk you through the difference between being a service provider by choice (and why that can be a great fit), versus falling into the accidental service provider trap. We'll also explore what it means to step into the role of strategic partner, why it matters, and how it sets you up for greater impact and income. I'll share: How to know if you're in the service provider trap (and what it's really costing you). Why so many of us fall into service provider mode after leaving our 9-to-5. What it really looks like to show up as a strategic partner, and how your value shifts when you do. Simple steps to begin making this shift with your very next client opportunity. If you've been hustling for piecemeal gigs, stuck in labor intensive projects or billing by the hour but know you're capable of more — this episode will help you see a new path forward. Where to dive in: (0:00:36) – What this series is about and why it matters (0:05:42) – Service provider by choice and the clear value it creates (0:11:18) – The accidental service provider trap (and how to spot it) (0:18:55) – Why we all fall into service provider mode at first (0:23:21) – The role of strategic partner and how to position yourself for it Next steps: Reflect on and then choose what works best for you — service provider or strategic partner. If strategic partner is your answer (but you're not there yet), notice what mindset shifts you're already seeing that you need to make so you can be open to the new approaches I'll be sharing in the coming episodes. And when you're done listening, grab my free Discovery Meeting Script at betsyjordyn.com/discovery-meeting-script. It'll show you the exact questions to ask — and how to ask them — so you can start making this shift in your very next client conversation. I'm also launching a new group coaching program that turns these partnership principles into action. You'll get step-by-step guidance and peer support to make this process your own and immediately level up your impact and income — starting with your very next client.

The people around her carried her over the launch line. [21:13] The most significant challenge she faced: wearing all the hats simultaneously. [25:13] When men build businesses, they surround themselves with help.

Legacy media is dying. Cable networks have record low viewers, especially among people, and new media is becoming the new normal. Consuming news is no longer something we do by turning on the TV for a specific broadcast at a designated time. News is now reviewed throughout the day through a steady flow of information form streaming services, emails, and social media apps. Independent journalists and average citizens documenting their first-hand accounts have revolutionized our consumption habits and broken through the wall of corporate media and/or government censorship. Sam Anthony, Founder and CEO of YourNews Media, joined Linda to discuss this trend and to share how he is working to support freedom of speech through his innovative online news platform which provides relevant local news to citizens all over America.  ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.

What happens when companies prioritize lower cost, non-citizen workers to fill jobs previously held by American citizens? This has happened to millions of American workers in many segments of our labor force, including highly skilled STEM workers. Our complicated visa system allows for loopholes that put hard-working citizens at risk, which impacts our culture, economy, communities, and families across the nation. The H1-B visa is most discussed, but many visa types are being misused to circumvent fair wage and employment practices. Listen as Linda and Rosemary Jenks, Co-Founder and Policy Director at the Immigration Accountability Project, discuss action steps needed to protect the American worker. This issue affects every segment of our society, and is important for employers, employes, students, and retirees.  ©Copyright 2025, Prosperity 101, LLC __________________________________________________________ For information about our online course and other resources visit: https://prosperity101.com To order a copy of Prosperity 101 – Job Security Through Business Prosperity® by Linda J.
