This short episode was recorded live at GetYourGuide's Unlocked conference in September 2025.When you meet Arturo Ardao Rivera, the first thing you feel is his energy. He doesn't come off as an engineer, which was his profession until he discovered a joy for tour guiding and running a tour business. Originally from Madrid, Arturo found his true passion when he created Rainbow Tours Stockholm. It has grown from a solo operation to employing 26 guides.His story is one of rejecting some of his engineering tendencies (choosing feelings over numbers!) and leaning into strategies that appear unorthodox but have worked well for him.You'll discover:His unique "taxi tariff" model for private tours, and his approach to hyper-personalization.Why he doesn't ask for reviewsWhy he's not sold on the "get more bookings" industry mantra Why he visits guides he's thinking of hiring in their comfort zone, not hisHow guide applicants are asked to become undercover tour takersHow he leverages running two separate brands for pricing strategyHow he grow leveraging 10+ OTA partners, and how he's managing his distribution mixConnect with Arturo on LinkedIn, and visit Rainbow Tours Stockholm!

There is a role many school leaders step into long before they ever receive a title.It's the role of the strong one.The steady one.The one who handles it.In this episode, Chanie explores the hidden cost of being the strong leader—the invisible emotional weight carried by school owners and leaders who learned early that being useful meant being safe, valued, and connected.This conversation isn't about burnout or failure. It's about survival adaptations that once protected you, but may now be quietly costing you rest, connection, and being met as a human.You'll hear:Why over-functioning is not a personality trait—but a learned survival strategyHow leadership responsibility slowly becomes identityThe invisible emotional labor school leaders carry that never shows up on an org chartThe difference between being essential and being chosenWhy strong leaders are often admired—but rarely supportedGentle questions to help you notice where you're still earning safety through givingThis episode is not a lesson and not a call to action.It's a place to sit.A place to be honest.A place to let something unnamed finally have language.If parts of this conversation feel tender or emotional, that's not a problem to solve. That's information. And you don't need to do anything with it right now.If you want language for what you're already carrying, Chapter One of Chanie's upcoming book, This Can't Be Normal, is available to read.Download Chapter One: thiscantbenormal.com

Are you telling yourself things are “fine” while your podcast stays stuck, unprofitable, and going nowhere?If you want real podcast growth, true podcast monetization, and the freedom of a full-time podcast, this episode forces an uncomfortable but necessary conversation. Many podcasters believe they're doing everything right — staying consistent, enjoying the process, keeping things “safe.” But beneath the surface, denial, comfort, and rationalization are quietly killing momentum, urgency, and income.In this episode, Anthony and Taig unpack the hidden psychology that keeps podcasters trapped in limbo — working jobs they're misaligned with while their podcast never becomes the business they say they want.You'll discover:Why comfort and “good enough” circumstances destroy podcast growth faster than bad strategyHow denial and rationalization block podcast monetization — even when effort feels highThe mindset shift required to turn a podcast from a side project into a full-time podcastIf you're serious about podcast growth, podcast monetization, and finally building a full-time podcast — this episode may be the wake-up call you've been avoiding.More From Get More Listeners:Click here and grab your free copy of our best selling book Podcast Marketing + A mini podcast audit.Or visit: https://getmorelisteners.com/bookView client results & case studiesLooking for a new hosting platform with amazing analytics?

What if the reason your podcast isn't converting has nothing to do with consistency, downloads, or your CTA… and everything to do with belief?In today's episode, I'm interviewing my client, Patricia Ortega, host of the Uncommon Career Podcast, and sharing a behind-the-scenes look at what changed when her podcast stopped feeling heavy, awkward, and salesy — and started generating consistent sales calls.Patricia didn't need more tactics. She didn't need another social media strategy or a new funnel. What she needed was clarity — in her messaging, her structure, and the belief journey she was guiding her listeners through.In this conversation, you'll hear:Why “just get on the mic and talk” is not a strategyHow structure unlocks creativity instead of stifling itThe mindset shift that made selling feel like service instead of sleazeWhy a podcast can become your primary lead generator when social media feels soul-suckingWhat changes when your episodes stop being fluffy and start being intentionalYou'll also hear Patricia share what she can't unsee now that she understands how belief-based podcasting works — and why her show finally feels fun, aligned, and effective again.If you've ever thought:“I don't want to sound salesy”“My podcast is good, but it's not converting”“I don't want to depend on social media to get clients”…this episode will hit home.Listen not just for what's said, but for how belief, structure, and authority are modeled throughout the conversation.

The common advice to "post three times a day" is often a recipe for burnout rather than business growth. True marketing success comes not from manic frequency, but from a sustainable system that embraces the inevitable chaos of entrepreneurship while connecting deeply with your audience through authenticity.In this episode, Janelle Jones, business marketing strategist and tech founder, joins the show to share her approach to building a content engine that doesn't run you into the ground. She explains why you should stop blindly following trends and start "personifying" your brand through calculated vulnerability and direct audience feedback.In this episode, we cover:Embracing the Chaos Why you can't fully eliminate the chaos of content creation, but how you can build a system to manage it.Finding Your Pace Why consistency beats frequency, and how to determine if your audience actually wants to hear from you daily or if you can slow down.The "Twist" Strategy How to find inspiration from competitors without copying them by adding your unique brand spin.Tactical Feedback How to use incentivized surveys (gift cards!) to stop guessing and start creating exactly what your audience wants to buy.Links & Resources:Connect with Janelle JonesText us what you think about this episode!

What happens when you build a successful pet business… but forget to build a life around it? Why do so many hardworking pet professionals stay busy, stressed, and tired — even when the business is technically "doing well"? And how can you stop reacting to the year ahead… and start designing it on purpose? In this end-of-year episode, I hit pause between Christmas festivities to reflect on what 2025 really taught me about business growth, and also about my energy, downtime, leverage, and clarity.  For me this was a year filled with travel-heavy months and packed event schedules but it was also the year I finally got intentional about rest, recovery, and building a business that supports the life you want, not one that consumes it.  I share why having a clear vision has been the single biggest driver of momentum in my own business, how losing that clarity temporarily made progress harder than it needed to be, and you'll discover why most pet business owners aren't stuck because they lack the right tactics — but because they lack a compelling picture of where they're heading. Do you have such a vision? You will after this epsode In this episode, you'll discover: •    Why Downtime Is a Strategy – How scheduled breaks improved focus, energy, and decision-making. •    Vision Creates Momentum – Why clarity pulls you forward faster than discipline ever will. •    Busy Isn't the Goal – The difference between growing revenue and building freedom. •    Leverage Over Labour – Why the next phase of growth must rely on systems, not more hours. •    Designing Your Year Ahead – How intentional planning beats reactive hustle every time. If you're tired of being busy, burned out, and underpaid… and you're ready to transform your daycare into a premium, experience-heavy, profit-driven powerhouse… then IMPACT 2026 is the event you've been waiting for.

EPISODE DESCRIPTION:"When elephants fight, it's the grass that suffers." This African proverb stopped me mid-scroll during a walk, and I saw my family's addiction story with some pretty painful clarity. While my ex-husband, husband and I stomped around trying to wage war on our son's substance use and high-risk lifestyle, we completely missed who was getting trampled beneath our giant, well-meaning feet.This week's raw and honest solo episode unpacks the heavyweight champion of family conflicts: parents locked in battle over how to handle their child's substance use. I reflect about missing my younger son Marco's quiet suffering (spoiler: he mastered invisibility to survive our chaos), and you'll hear how our struggling kids internalize parental discord as proof they're destroying the family. You'll hear why treating addiction like toothpaste you can force back in the tube only creates more destruction, and how shifting from head-on combat to clay-shaping might just save your entire family ecosystem. (lots of metaphors in this week's show!)Fortunately, the Invitation to Change Approach offers a roadmap for stepping more carefully through crisis - because your other children, parents, friends, and even your struggling child deserve better than getting flattened while you fight about tough love versus cushioning falls.What you'll learn:Why siblings of struggling kids often perfect the art of being "not as bad" - and the long-term cost of that survival strategyHow late-night battles between parents may send dangerous "I'm the problem" messages to your struggling childThe critical shift from manager to consultant when your child hits adulthood (and why this transition can spark explosive co-parenting conflicts)Why approaching addiction like malleable clay instead of a winnable war creates healing space for everyoneSpecific ways to acknowledge and tend to the "trampled grass" in your family this weekEPISODE RESOURCES:Hopestream podcast episode with Marco Narcsio, (#70)This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

You've spent years developing your next generation of partners, but what happens when they don't want to lead, can't secure financing, or simply aren't the right fit to take over? In this episode, our Ontario Market Leader Darryl Boyd, reveals why so many multi-partner firms are discovering that their "default" internal succession plan isn't working, and why external sales often deliver better outcomes for everyone involved.Over his decade with Poe Group Advisors, Darryl has helped the Canadian M&A landscape transform from earnout-heavy transactions to all-cash deals that prioritize fit over spreadsheets. We explore the uncomfortable truth about internal succession: technical excellence doesn't equal business leadership, and the partner who's great at client work may have zero interest or aptitude for running the firm.The conversation highlights that:Why exhausted accounting firm owners often just need better systems, not an exit strategyHow private equity is slowly earning trust in Canada, and why most CPA firm sellers still choose CPA buyersThe hidden assumptions killing Accounting M&A deals (like the "25% client loss" myth with zero data behind it)Why the best transactions happen when both parties forget about price and focus on whether the handoff will actually workWe also tackle the massive variability across firms that makes a cookie-cutter valuation worthless: profitability, owner workload, geographic markets, and cultural dynamics all impact valuation more than sellers realize. Whether you're a multi-partner firm wrestling with succession, a solo tax practitioner planning your exit, or a buyer trying to understand what sellers really care about, this episode will challenge your assumptions about how accounting practice transitions actually work.Link to full listing: https://poegroupadvisors.com/practice/sc2038/ Firm Highlights:- Young, energetic owner committed to staying 10+ years to run and grow the firm.- Selling 70–100% equity, with plans to offer key employees an ownership stake.- 3+ CPAs on staff and over 20 employees.- High-net-worth clients with strong loyalty and consistent referrals.- 78% of services tied to business clients.

If you've been operating at a high level but feel stretched, overstimulated, or disconnected from your intuition, this conversation may change how you lead and how you live.Tracey breaks down:Why burnout comes from lack of recovery, not lack of strategyHow nervous system regulation directly impacts leadership presence, communication clarity, and sales resonanceWhy elite performers treat rest as a strategic advantageHow Human Design offers permission to stop forcing and start leading in alignmentWhy slowing down isn't laziness it's precisionTracey shares why she's choosing to slow down publicly this week by hosting a Live Winter Storytime, a moment of presence, connection, and intentional pause during the busiest season of the year.If you're ready to scale without sacrificing yourself, reconnect with your inner authority, and build success that truly serves your life, this episode is for you.✨ Next StepsJoin us for the Live Winter Storytime Book a Deep Dive Life Strategy Session to explore your Human Design, nervous system capacity, and aligned next stepsHigh-ticket success doesn't come from grinding harder, it comes from listening deeper.Send us a textCheck out the CEOPowercode.com/course Support the showGet your FREE Checklist to save time every week 5 Time-Saving Strategies Checklist https://www.beyondcommoncoaching.com/strategiesTime Mastery for Female CEOs: Unlocking Your Path to Freedom

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick takes a deep dive into the history and necessity of taxation, connecting the Tudor reign of Henry VII to the modern crisis of inequality in the UK.With the Green Party surging past Labour in recent polls by promising to "tax the rich," we explore why this idea is about more than just funding public services—it's about democracy itself. Nick draws a parallel between the "overmighty nobles" of the 15th century, whose private armies threatened the crown, and today's billionaires, whose vast wealth allows them to purchase political influence and bypass democratic norms.From the dismantling of the post-war social democratic consensus to the devastating impact of austerity (or "de-development") on British society, we ask: Can a society survive when capital has captured the state?Key Topics:The Green Surge: Zack Polanski and the political shift to the left.Henry VII's Strategy: How taxing the nobility prevented civil war and consolidated power.Rentier Capitalism: Why "lazy money" prefers property to innovation.Austerity as De-development: The stealth privatization of British life.The Threat to Democracy: How extreme wealth inequality destabilizes nations.Explaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

In this episode of How Not to Suck at Divorce, divorce attorney Morgan Stogsdill and comedian-turned-divorce-advocate Andrea Rappaport walk you through how to negotiate your divorce like a pro using their THINK framework:T – Take the emotion out of itH – Have realistic non-negotiablesI – Identify their pain pointsN – Negotiate from facts, not feelingsK – Keep your BATNA in mind (your best backup plan)If the idea of mediation, settlement conferences, or sitting across from your ex makes you want to hide in a hole, this episode is your game plan. You'll learn how to work with your lawyer instead of against them, what's actually realistic to ask for, how to use what you know about your ex as legal leverage, and why clinging to your emotions can cost you big money, time, and sanity.Whether you're just starting your divorce, heading into mediation, or trying to wrap up a long, exhausting case, this episode will help you stay out of court if possible, save money, and make smarter decisions for you and your kids.In This Episode, We Cover:Why “facts win” in divorceHow emotions spiral, stories get twisted, and why judges and mediators care about documents, numbers, and timelines — not drama.T = Take the emotion out of itAndrea's “Ziploc bag and freeze your feelings like a 2018 pot roast” strategyHow to notice when you're triggered in mediation (hello, Brenda and Chad)What to say to your lawyer when you're about to lose it — and when to zip it and let them speak for youH = Have realistic non-negotiablesThe difference between must-haves and nice-to-havesWhy “I want 100% custody” usually isn't realisticHow to decide which holidays, financial terms, or parenting provisions are truly non-negotiableMorgan's example of a client who refused to accept any end date on maintenance — and why that was realistic in her caseI = Identify their pain pointsHow to “play detective” and figure out what your ex really cares about (ego, money, reputation, time with kids, a specific property, etc.)Morgan's story of using a husband's obsession with a particular property to get her client more money on the balance sheetWhy negotiation is less about what you want and more about what motivates themN = Negotiate from facts, not feelingsWhy you should write your facts in clear bullet points, not emotional paragraphsHow “friend of the family” promises and verbal side deals (hi, John

Episode Summary:In this episode of Explaining History, Nick returns to Philip Knightley's seminal work, The First Casualty, to examine how British and American journalists covered the Vietnam War. While American reporters were often "embedded" and compromised by military PR, British correspondents like John Pilger offered a searing, independent critique of the conflict.We explore the endemic corruption of Saigon—a city described as a "vast brothel" of black marketeering—and the staggering scale of theft from the US military. But beyond the graft, we delve into the darker psychological toll of the war: how racism was weaponized to motivate GIs, turning patriotism into a license for atrocity. Why did so many reporters lose their compassion? And how did the dehumanization of the Vietnamese people set a template for modern conflicts?Key Topics:The British Perspective: How correspondents like John Pilger broke the mold of war reporting.Saigon's Black Market: The multi-billion dollar theft of US supplies and weapons.Racism as Strategy: How "dehumanizing the enemy" became official policy.The Hero Myth: The clash between "macho" war reporting and the reality of civilian slaughter.Books Mentioned:The First Casualty by Philip KnightleyHeroes by John PilgerHidden Agendas by John PilgerExplaining History helps you understand the 20th Century through critical conversations and expert interviews.

Send us a textYou just got the calendar invite. Company holiday party. Tuesday night. 6 PM.Your immediate reaction isn't excitement—it's a mental calculation. You are weighing the cost of a babysitter and dry cleaning against the sheer exhaustion of making small talk with people you already see on Zoom 40 hours a week. Your brain is screaming, "I would rather be anywhere else," but your professional guilt says, "I have to go."If your current plan is to stand in the corner, eat a stale canapé, and leave as soon as possible, you are paying an energy tax with zero return. Your time is your most valuable asset—so if you're going to spend it, let's make sure you get a return on that investment.What This Episode is About In this episode of Communicate to Lead, host Kele Belton dismantles the "obligation" of the corporate holiday party and rebuilds it as a strategic opportunity.We are moving beyond "survival mode." Kele explains why holiday parties are distinct communication environments where the hierarchy is flatter, the guards are down, and business gets done in the gray areas.

Kele shares her personal strategy for conserving energy, skipping the small talk, and executing the perfect "exit strategy" without guilt.What You Can Expect to Learn:The "ROI" Framework: How to choose one of three specific missions for the night: Deepening Alliances, Strategic Visibility, or Intel Gathering.The Introvert's Advantage: Why introverts are actually better at strategic networking than extroverts (if they have a plan).Conversation Starters that Work: Specific questions to ask senior leaders and cross-functional peers that move past "How about this weather?" and demonstrate intellectual curiosity.The "Skunkworks" Strategy: How to use informal chatter to discover career opportunities and projects that haven't hit the company newsletter yet.The 48-Hour Golden Thread: The exact email template to send after the party to turn a casual chat into a formal business connection in January.Resources Mentioned:Book a Call: Ready to enter 2026 with a clear communication strategy?

What happens when a medical device executive walks away from a stable 17-year career to build a digital marketing agency in one of the most complex industries on Earth? In this compelling episode of The Proven Entrepreneur Show, host Don Williams sits down with Saul Marquez, founder and CEO of Outcomes Rocket, to uncover the untold story of pivoting, perseverance, and the power of trusting your gut in healthcare entrepreneurship.Before he founded Outcomes Rocket, Saul Marquez spent 17 years in medical devices, living what many would call a "dream career." In this candid conversation with host Don Williams on The Proven Entrepreneur Show, Saul shares how he walked away from that security to build a specialist healthcare marketing agency serving health tech, medical device companies, and ambulatory provider groups. If you've ever felt torn between a safe path and a bigger vision, this episode will feel uncomfortably familiar in the best way.You'll hear Saul break down his simple decision framework of "dreams and data"—how he used both gut instinct and real-world evidence from over 2,000 podcast interviews with healthcare leaders to validate his leap into healthcare entrepreneurship. The discussion dives deep into health tech marketing, medical device marketing, and why "you sell like you buy" is one of the most practical mindset checks for any founder, CEO, or marketing leader. They unpack why "cheap marketing" is so expensive, when to stop DIYing and hire real experts, and how to think about podcasts and webinars for lead generation in today's healthcare landscape.Saul also shares a raw story about a webinar gone wrong—a painful early failure that turned into a long-term client relationship and bulletproof SOPs (Standard Operating Procedures) through radical ownership. Along the way, Don and Saul talk about comfort zones, "burn the boats" moments, choosing mentors wisely, and what big thinkers in healthcare are really struggling with behind the scenes. This conversation covers essential topics for anyone navigating the intersection of healthcare business growth and digital transformation.What You'll Learn:How to validate a business idea using the "dreams and data" framework before taking the leapWhy healthcare commercialization requires strategic marketing partnerships, not budget solutionsThe psychological barriers keeping healthcare professionals from becoming successful entrepreneursHow B2B healthcare marketing differs from other industries and why it requires specialized expertiseThe role of content marketing, webinars, and podcasts in healthcare lead generationWhy 10X growth is easier than 2X growth—and what that means for your strategyHow to recover from catastrophic failures and turn them into competitive advantagesThe importance of surrounding yourself with mentors who've already achieved your goalsPractical strategies for health tech and medical device company growthThe "three M's of leadership": Mindset, Mission, and MethodologyWhy This Episode Matters:This isn't generic entrepreneurship advice—it's a masterclass in healthcare business strategy from someone who's built a thriving agency while serving some of the most complex organizations in the industry. If you're a health tech founder, medical device company leader, healthcare CEO, ambulatory provider, or anyone in the healthcare sales space wondering why your marketing isn't working, this conversation will rewire how you think about growth.Subscribe to The Proven Entrepreneur Show for more unfiltered conversations with leaders building billion-dollar healthcare businesses and navigating healthcare commercialization.

Absolutely no one warned us that midlife would be this loud—hot flashes, achy joints, bone density, belly fat, all competing for attention at once. And yet the message women still get is, “This is just how it is.”In this episode, I'm joined by orthopedic sports surgeon and longevity visionary Dr. Vonda Wright, author of Unbreakable: A Woman's Guide to Aging with Power. We dig into what it really takes to stay strong, mobile, and independent for decades—so you can carry your own groceries at 80 and stay out of the nursing home.We cover:Why bones are an endocrine organ (yes, your skeleton is talking to the rest of your body)The truth about osteoporosis, fracture risk, and why waiting until 65 for a DEXA is a terrible strategyHow to safely use impact, heavy lifting, and sprint intervals even if you've been told to “be careful”The role of estrogen, testosterone, and vitamin D in bone and muscle healthProtein, leucine, vegan vs animal sources—and why under-proteining is keeping you weak and inflamedWeighted vests, jumping, Pilates and yoga: what actually moves the needle for strength and longevityIf you're a woman in perimenopause, menopause, or beyond—and you want denser bones, stronger muscles, better balance, and a body that can keep up with the life you want—this conversation is your blueprint.

Send us a textYou committed to speaking up more in meetings. You lasted three days. Now it's been three weeks, and your inner critic is convinced you don't have what it takes to lead at the next level.Sound familiar? Here is the truth that changes everything:You do not have a capability problem. You have a recovery problem.Most leaders think the key to success is discipline—never falling off the wagon. But the reality is that executives fall off just as often as middle managers. The difference is speed. A middle manager takes three months to recover; an executive recovers in three hours.In this episode, I am breaking down exactly why you keep starting and stopping your professional development initiatives, and I'm introducing The Quick Recovery Method—a 4-step framework specifically designed to help you stop the shame spiral and build real momentum.In this episode, you will learn:The "Discipline Myth": Why relying on willpower to stay consistent is a guaranteed strategy for failure.The 4-Step Framework: How to use the "Recognize, Reframe, Replace, Restart" method to get back on track in minutes, not months.The "Bridge Thought" Strategy: How to bypass toxic positivity and find the specific thoughts that actually move you into action right now.The Black Friday Trap: Why buying another planner or leadership course won't fix your follow-through problem (and what actually will).If you have a graveyard of half-finished goals and are ready to stop beating yourself up for being human, this episode is your reset button.Resources & Links:Book a Complimentary Leadership Clarity Call with Kele About Your Host:Kele Belton is a communication and leadership facilitator, coach, and speaker who specializes in helping women leaders develop confidence and impact through strategic communication and practical leadership frameworks.Connect with Kele for more leadership insights:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/kele-ruth-belton/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thetailoredapproach/Website: https://thetailoredapproach.com

We're talking real funnels, real marketing strategies, and real results… without the constant posting, burnout, or algorithm guessing game. These are the conversations that usually stay inside private client calls, but today you get a peek behind the scenes.Whether you're craving a break from Instagram, wondering if you could ever grow without it, or just want confirmation that other paths do exist, this episode will give you ideas, clarity, and maybe even a little relief.

Click Here for the Show Notes Today's episode dives into a question many new investors wrestle with: Should you buy a long-term rental or take a swing at a short-term vacation rental? Sandy, who's currently working with my team, reached out for guidance as she and her partner prepare to purchase their first investment property in Florida. While long-term rentals offer predictability and stability, short-term rentals can deliver eye-popping cashflow—sometimes two, three, even four times more. But as we explore in this conversation, those higher returns come with trade-offs: unpredictable occupancy, increased expenses, constant turnover, potential regulatory headaches, and more hands-on management. I break down the pros, cons, risks, and realities of short-term rentals, contrast them with tried-and-true long-term strategies, and share why I personally stay on the long-term side of the fence. If you're weighing your options or considering stepping into the vacation-rental world, this is an episode you won't want to miss.
