Insulin Resistance, Fertility, and Taking Your Health BackInsulin resistance doesn't just affect blood sugar — it impacts hormones, fertility, energy, and long-term health.In this episode, Tracy sits down with PA and women's health coach Chelsea Hayman to unpack how insulin resistance shows up in real life, why “normal labs” don't always tell the full story, and what clinicians and patients can do to break the cycle of crashes, cravings, and burnout.They explore fertility struggles, continuous glucose monitors, stress physiology, and practical strategies for stabilizing hormones and blood sugar — without extreme diets or unsustainable routines.Whether you're supporting patients with PCOS, infertility, fatigue, or metabolic dysfunction — or navigating this yourself — this conversation will change how you think about women's health.How insulin resistance affects fertility and hormone balanceWhy A1C can be normal — and problems still existThe “protein + fiber first” strategyHow stress worsens blood sugar regulationWhen CGMs can be helpful (even without diabetes)Small, sustainable changes that actually workWhy women must stop putting their health lastTimestamps:[2:30] Meet Chelsea Hayman[3:30] Blood Sugar and Fertility [4:45] Chelsea's Struggles with Infertility [9:00] Defining Insulin Resistance [11:00] Blood Sugar Control & Fertility Outcomes[13:00] Stress & Hormones[16:00] Implementing Lifestyle Changes [17:00] Choosing a Continuous Glucose Monitor [23:00] How to Plan Your Plate [25:00] Self Care & Meeting Your Own Basic Needs[29:00] Connect with Chelsea & Where to Find HerConnect with Chelsea: Website: www.empowerglucose.comLinkedIn: http://linkedin.com/company/empoweredglucose Social: @empoweredglucose at https://www.instagram.com/empoweredglucose/ Keywords: insulin resistance, blood sugar, hormone imbalance, fertility, infertility, PCOS, continuous glucose monitor, CGM, women's metabolic health, metabolic health, PA podcast, women's health, wellness, clinician wellness, hormones, gestational diabetes, insulin resistanceSPONSORS:ADVANCED PRACTICE PLANNING, LLC: advancedpracticeplanning.com/fiSIDE GIG GUIDE https://www.tracybingaman.com/gigCONNECT ⁠FREE 30-MINUTE COACHING CONSULT⁠ ⁠⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/gen-call⁠ ⁠ ⁠1-ON-1 NEGOTIATION CONSULT ⁠https://calendly.com/the-pa-is-in/negotiate⁠⁠CONNECT WITH TRACY⁠LINKEDIN ⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/tracybingaman/⁠⁠⁠INSTAGRAM ⁠https://www.instagram.com/mrstracybingaman/⁠⁠WEBSITE⁠ ⁠⁠⁠https://www.tracybingaman.com⁠

Have you ever stood on the edge of obedience, knowing everything is stacked against you and wondering if God is really at work in the silence? What happens when waiting, not rushing, becomes the turning point of deliverance?In this episode, we step into Esther chapter 5 and witness the beginning of one of Scripture's most dramatic reversals. We'll explore how divine providence operates behind the scenes as Esther courageously approaches the king, chooses patience over impulse, and trusts God's timing. Through the Book of Esther, Romans 8, and the biblical pattern of the “third day,” this episode reveals how God works powerfully even when He seems hidden.Inside this episode:Why Esther's two banquets are not hesitation but holy strategyHow fasting, prayer, and stillness position us to discern God's willA striking biblical contrast between Esther's humility and Haman's prideEsther's story isn't just ancient history. It's a roadmap for faithful living. When life feels urgent, unfair, or uncertain, this episode invites us to slow down and trust God's unseen hand.Themes in Esther 5 we can apply to our life today:Waiting for God's perfect timing. Esther's three days of fasting and prayer remind us that God often works most powerfully while we are waiting. Stillness is not inactivity. It is trust that allows God to go before us and prepare what we cannot see.Humility that positions us for favor. Esther approaches the king with courage and restraint, while Haman's pride blinds him to his downfall. This contrast shows how humility aligns us with God's purposes, while pride quietly sets traps for our own undoing.Trusting God's hidden providence. Even when God's name is never mentioned, His hand is unmistakably at work behind the scenes. Like Esther, we are invited to believe that God is arranging the “chessboard” long before we are asked to make our move.If you're wrestling with decisions, delayed answers, or fear of stepping forward, this study of Esther and divine providence will encourage you to be still and watch God move.We love feedback, but can't reply without your email address.

Send us a textThis episode is dropping during my birthday week, which is usually my Super Bowl. I love my birthday. I plan it. I talk about it. I'm a dork about it. But this year, instead of full party mode, I found myself getting weirdly reflective.Maybe it's because this is my last year in my 40s. Maybe it's because I've started asking myself some bigger questions about what I want my life to look like before I hit 50. Or maybe it's because I finally slowed down long enough to look at the actual data of my life instead of just vibing on feelings and good intentions.And hoo boy. The data had thoughts.In this episode, I talk about the one ratio that you absolutely have to get right if you want to feel satisfied instead of secretly resentful. Your effort-to-results ratio. When this ratio is off, you can be working your ass off and still feel unhappy, frustrated, and vaguely annoyed at everything, without fully understanding why.I tell the story of my friend Beth to show how easy it is to chase results that require an unsustainable level of effort and how cruel we can be to ourselves when we inevitably can't maintain something that was never realistic in the first place. This exact dynamic shows up in fitness, money, relationships, careers, and honestly, just being a human.I also walk you through the super simple process I just used that exposed some pretty big mismatches in my own life, including how I've been running this podcast. Yes, changes are coming. Not because I'm burnt out or dramatic, but because the data made it impossible to ignore.If you've been trying harder and harder and wondering why it still doesn't feel good, this episode is probably going to hit a nerve. In a good way.What's Inside:The effort-to-results ratio and why getting it wrong makes everything feel harder than it shouldWhy throwing more effort at a problem is often the worst strategyHow to gather real data instead of trusting feelings that are lying to youUsing the 80/20 rule to stop overworking and start getting better resultsIf you're exhausted, frustrated, or low-key pissed off despite doing all the “right” things, this is your reminder to stop grinding and start evaluating. Look at how much effort you're giving. Look at what you're actually getting back. And ask yourself if those two things make sense together.You don't need more discipline. You don't need to push harder. You need clarity and the permission to change what isn't working.After you listen, DM me on Instagram and tell me where hard hard isn't working in your life anymore. I read every message, and your honesty genuinely shapes this show.Mentioned in This Episode:FitFeelsGood.com/strongafOonagh Duncan on InstagramFit Feels GoodLeave me a voice note on Speak Pipe!

In this episode, Wes Reed continues his series on common financial mistakes dentists make, focusing on retirement planning and investing. He explains how poor decisions around 401 (k) plans, defined benefit plans, debt management, and private investments can significantly impact long-term financial success.Wes breaks down how the U.S. tax system works, why retirement accounts are powerful tax-saving tools, and how dentists can use smart financial strategies to accelerate their path toward financial independence. He also shares real-life examples of mistakes he has seen in his practice and offers practical advice to avoid them.This episode is designed to help dentists make informed decisions, protect their wealth, and build a sustainable financial future.Key Topics CoveredUnderstanding the importance of choosing the right 401(k) strategyHow progressive taxes impact high-income professionalsWhen to Consider a Defined Benefit (Cash Balance) PlanWhy paying off low-interest “good debt” too early can hurt growthRisks associated with private and non-transparent investmentsThe importance of diversification and due diligenceKey TakeawaysUse 401(k) Plans Strategically: A well-structured 401(k) is one of the most effective ways for dentists to reduce taxes and build retirement savings. When implemented at the right time, it benefits both the owner and the team.Consider a Defined Benefit Plan in High-Income Years: For dentists with strong cash flow and high tax exposure, defined benefit plans can allow much larger, tax-deductible retirement contributions. However, they require professional management.Don't Rush to Pay Off Good Debt: Low-interest, tax-deductible debt used for assets like a practice or home should not always be paid off early. Investing that money can often produce higher long-term returns.Be Careful with Private Investments: Many private deals lack transparency and liquidity. Dentists should avoid investing based on hype and always perform proper due diligence.Think Long-Term, Not Emotionally: Financial decisions should be based on data, strategy, and long-term goals—not fear, pressure, or short-term emotions.Tax Planning Is a Key Part of Wealth Building: Understanding how taxes work and using retirement accounts properly can save tens of thousands of dollars over time.

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with four-time CHRO Dean E. Carter to dismantle the "command and control" ghosts of corporate past and reveal the blueprint for a workplace where people actually want to show up. Drawing from his transformative leadership at iconic brands like Patagonia, Airbnb, and even a "sinking" Sears, Carter explains why the secret to a thriving organization isn't found in a ping-pong table or a snack bar, but in the radical act of designing work with people rather than for them. Whether you are leading a team of ten or ten thousand, this conversation serves as a masterclass on how to bridge the growing trust gap between CEOs and employees by injecting wisdom, wonder, and wit back into the professional experience.

In this post-pod discussion, Vassilis and Marc unpack the biggest ideas from their recent conversation with Dale Harrison on The Only Growth Lever Marketers Control — and what those ideas actually mean for marketers in practice.They explore a critical but often uncomfortable distinction: revenue growth is not the same as real growth. When categories expand, tides rise for everyone — but that doesn't mean brands are gaining market share, competitive advantage, or long-term resilience.This episode digs into why marketers over-index on revenue and ROI, why market share is harder (but more honest) to use as a growth signal, and why a huge part of marketing's job is simply not screwing things up. The discussion also reframes advertising as both an offensive and defensive investment, emphasizing the role of creative effectiveness, mental availability, and protecting existing demand — not just chasing new sales.If you've ever been told to “just grow revenue” without clarity on what growth actually means, this episode is for you.Topics covered:Why revenue growth can mask stagnationMarket share vs. revenue: why they're not interchangeableThe danger of confusing category growth with brand growthWhy marketers are often rewarded for being “in the right boat at the right time”Advertising as demand protection, not just demand creationThe three levers marketers actually have (and why they're mostly equalized)Creative effectiveness as the only real multiplierWhy “don't screw it up” is an underrated marketing strategyHow to think about growth accelerants and external shocksWhy long-term success depends on solving for the 95%, not the 5%Timestamps00:00 – Introduction02:00 – Revenue vs. Growth: The Core Misunderstanding - Why increasing revenue doesn't automatically mean a brand is growing — and why market share matters.05:00 – Category Growth, Timing, and the Illusion of Marketing Genius - How external forces (COVID, category expansion, timing) create false signals of success.08:30 – Market Share Is Hard (But More Honest) - Why market share is rarely reported, difficult to measure, and still the most truthful growth signal.11:30 – Advertising as Protection, Not Just Growth - Why a major part of marketing's job is maintaining demand and preventing decline.14:30 – The Three Levers Marketers Actually Control - Spend, creative effectiveness, and media quality — and why none are silver bullets on their own.17:00 – The Real Takeaway: Don't Screw It Up - Creative quality, mental availability, and being ready when growth accelerants appear.19:30 – Final Reflections and Close - What marketers should do differently on Monday morning.19:25 – Final reflections and closing thoughts

In this new episode of the Positive Leadership Podcast, I'm delighted to welcome Katarina Berg, a leader who has redefined HR and culture for the digital age. As the long-time CHRO of Spotify and now Chief People Officer at On, Katarina has been at the helm of some of the most intense “hyper-growth” stories in tech history. But her journey started long before boardrooms—growing up sailing the world and being homeschooled on the ocean taught her a vital lesson: You cannot control the waves, you can only adjust your sails. In our conversation, we dive deep into her philosophy of “Controlled Chaos,” a bold approach that challenges the traditional command-and-control models of corporate leadership. Together, we explore a fascinating reality: What happens when you trust your employees enough to let them work from anywhere—not just as a perk, but as a business strategy? Katarina reveals how the “Work From Anywhere” policy at Spotify unlocked talent globally, and how she is now applying similar principles of trust and speed at On. But the real revolution isn't just about policy. It is about connection. We discuss her famous “Walk and Talks”—solving complex business problems on mountain trails rather than in meeting rooms—and how staying close to nature makes us better decision-makers. In this episode, we cover: The Origin Story: How a childhood spent navigating high seas shaped her resilience and adaptability as a leader. The Philosophy: Why “Controlled Chaos” is essential for innovation, and why rigidity is the enemy of growth. The Strategy: How to implement a “Work From Anywhere” culture that actually works (and isn't just hybrid theater). The Method: The power of the “Walk and Talk” to break down barriers and foster deep human connection. The Future: Her advice for the leaders of 2030: “Dare to be bold, lead with your heart, and always lift others as you rise.” Katarina reminds us that Positive Leadership is not about choosing between high performance and human care. It is about realizing that you cannot have one without the other. I hope you'll enjoy this energizing conversation with Katarina Berg. 

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

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!

From opening CarMax locations to supporting kids activity centers, e-commerce brands, and local businesses, Andy brings real-world perspective to what works  and what quietly breaks businesses over time.Rather than chasing hype, hustle culture, or overcomplicated tactics, Andy challenges founders to rethink marketing as communication, build systems that support people, and create businesses that serve life not consume it.We cover:Why hustle alone isn't the answer to sustainable growthThe hidden danger of relying on word-of-mouth as a strategyHow fear keeps founders underpricing, understaffing, and stuckWhy most businesses don't fail at marketing, they fail at follow-upThe role of AI in supporting human connection (not replacing it)Building systems that create freedom instead of burnoutHow downturns create the biggest opportunity for market shareWhy clarity, consistency, and communication outperform complexityThe importance of treating agencies as partners, not vendorsRedefining success as freedom, impact, and time with familyTakeaways:Marketing should feel like communication, not manipulation.Growth comes from clarity, not chaos.Fear shrinks businesses faster than bad strategy.Strong systems give founders freedom — not more work.The best businesses are built to support life, not replace it.

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.

High-ticket success isn't built by doing more it's built by holding more capacity.In this quieter, deeper episode of Beyond Common Business Secrets, host Tracey Watts Cirino explores why slowing down is often overlooked as a crucial skill among high-achieving leaders, founders, business owners, and coaches. 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.

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.

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.

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.
