Dentistry is entering a new reality for DSOs and group practices. Growth alone isn't the strategy anymore. Leaders today have to manage enterprise risk, operational consistency, and long-term valuation. Dr. Bryan Laskin shares a powerful leadership framework from his mentor Dan Sullivan called DOS: Dangers, Opportunities, and Strengths. Using this lens, he walks through the three biggest dangers facing dental organizations today, the three opportunities that can unlock predictable growth, and the three strengths dentistry already has built into its model. This episode of "The Bryan Laskin Podcast" challenges leaders to rethink how they operate at scale. Because when organizations operationalize connection, clarity, and confidence across every location, they create the one thing investors, teams, and patients all value most: predictability.

"Shopify POS is a powerful foundation, but it's not a turnkey solution for every retail scenario. The platform's maturity is a moving target, and understanding its ecosystem gaps is crucial for strategic planning and preventing costly misalignments."Joseph Brown, Operations Director, KubixAre you considering Shopify POS for your retail operations but unsure about its strengths and limitations? You're not alone.As one of the leading ecommerce platforms, Shopify has rapidly expanded into the retail point-of-sale space, but its product is still evolving. In this pod, we explore the realities of implementing Shopify POS backed by expert insights from Joe Brown, Operations Director at Kubix, who has direct experience implementing POS for different business models. Whether you're running a standalone store or extensive retail estate, this episode has practical advice, product limitations and decisions that can make or break your omnichannel strategy.The reality…Shopify POS has become more capable for retail, especially in multistore environments with enhanced permissions and faster workflows. However, it still has capability gaps that can surprise retailers, and requires careful planning, discovery and customisation. Key discussion points1. Deep discovery is criticalA recurring theme is the importance of thorough discovery when planning POS projects. Retailers should map existing workflows, identify edge cases (like made-to-order products, custom packing, or complex stock movements) and assess how Shopify's platform supports or complicates these processes.Rushing into implementation without understanding detailed workflows can lead to costly rework or operational issues down the line. 2. Inventory management limitationsOne of Shopify's gaps is in inventory management for complex use cases. For example, handling stock exchanges between stores where products are unavailable locally remains problematic. Shopify currently supports split fulfillment orders but lacks native support for multi-quantity line items or real-time transfer workflows, which can frustrate larger or more nuanced operations.3. Hardware cost & compatibilityPOS selection is more than a software decision; hardware investment is foundational. Some issues arise when existing custom integrations, like bespoke receipt printers or scanner setups, are incompatible with new POS hardware or updates. Testing hardware thoroughly before rollout is essential, and technical teams need to validate network setups, peripherals and existing workflows.Practical tip: Shopify's recommended hardware kits may not suit every store. Custom hardware may be necessary, but it can add complexity and cost.4. Ecosystem maturity and functional gapsWhile Shopify's ecosystem is growing, certain functionality including multi-currency gift cards, B2B support or advanced inventory tracking, lag behind expectations. Retailers with complex order workflows may need to integrate third-party apps or custom solutions to fill these gaps.Chapters[00:45] Introduction to Shopify POS and Its Evolution[03:30] Market Positioning and Retail Challenges[06:40] Discovery Process in Retail POS Implementations[09:25] Hardware Considerations for Shopify POS[12:20] Custom Development Needs in Retail[15:10] Omnichannel Experience and Customer Journey[17:55] Integration Challenges with Legacy Systems[20:50] Inventory Management and Workflow Complexities[23:15] Future Improvements and Wish List for Shopify POS

If God's will is love, what does it mean to love yourself without sliding into narcissism—or the opposite extreme of self-neglect and self-hatred? Continuing the “Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven” conversation, Joe Rockey and Father Boniface Hicks bring needed nuance: self-love isn't self-worship, and self-denial isn't automatically virtue.They unpack why “harder” is not inherently “better,” why suffering is only meaningful when ordered to a higher purpose (love), and how true humility is simply honesty—being clear about what you're good at and what you're not. The episode reframes self-care as stewardship of your humanity: caring for yourself with the same respect and consistency you'd give a loved one (or even your pet), so you can show up with more freedom, joy, and capacity to serve.Key IdeasOrdered self-love avoids two traps: narcissism (self as god) and self-disregard (treating God's creation as worthless).The Christian goal isn't “maximum suffering”; virtue often makes the good easier, more spontaneous, and more joyful over time.Sacrifice matters—but only when it's for a higher purpose (love of God and neighbor), not as an identity or performance.Humility is honesty: “I'm good at X” isn't pride, and “I'm bad at Y” isn't self-hatred—it's reality.Grow the gifts you actually have, and let that growth expand your ability to love and serve others more effectively.Links & References (official/source only)Dr. Jordan B.

Send a textLeaders today are navigating a world shaped by challenge, change, and uncertainty — often all at once.But here's the problem: most of us treat these three experiences as if they're the same thing.They're not.In this episode of The Leadership Vision Podcast, Nathan, Brian, and Linda explore why distinguishing between challenge, change, and uncertainty is essential for leading well — especially in seasons of disruption, stress, and ambiguity.Drawing from neuroscience, behavioral research, and 25 years of consulting experience, they offer practical questions and frameworks leaders can use immediately with their teams.In This EpisodeYou'll learn:The critical difference between challenge, change, and uncertaintyWhy leaders often respond to all three the same way — and why that doesn't workHow challenge reinforces confidence and competenceWhy change requires intentional pivots and seasonal awarenessWhat uncertainty does to the human brain — and how to respond wiselyFour powerful questions to help teams move forward in the fogKey DistinctionsChallenge A stretch — but within your existing capacity. You already have what you need. It requires grit and focus.Change An interruption or redirection. It requires letting go, adapting, and growing in new ways.Uncertainty A state of not knowing. Limited clarity. Limited predictability. Emotional fog.Each requires a different leadership response.Practical Questions for LeadersWhen facing uncertainty, ask your team:What do you need to understand?What do you need to commit?What do you need to adjust?How will you take action?When facing change, consider:What season are we in — spring, summer, fall, or winter?Where does each team member naturally come to life during change?What might need to be released before we move forward?When facing challenge, ask:Have we done something like this before?What strengths have helped us succeed?What's at the “end of the trail” that motivates us?A Reflection for This WeekBefore you respond to what feels difficult, ask:Is this a challenge to grow through? A change to adapt to? Or an uncertainty to navigate?The answer may determine how you lead.About Leadership VisionFor 25 years, Leadership Vision has helped leaders and teams build positive team culture by developing mental engagement and emotional health.Learn more at: 

Highly sensitive people often struggle with boundaries, because their nervous systems are deeply attuned to the emotional environment around them.If you've ever found yourself saying yes when your body wanted to say no, absorbing other people's emotions, or feeling exhausted after social interactions, this episode will help you understand why.In this conversation, we explore why boundaries can feel especially difficult for highly sensitive people, how the nervous system's fawn response can lead to people-pleasing, and how boundaries can actually support nervous system regulation rather than pushing people away.If you are learning how to remain kind, empathetic, and open while still protecting your energy, this episode offers a gentle place to begin.New to the podcast?

In this episode, Laura sits down with Dr. Elizabeth Adams to explore what it truly means to amplify your strengths… not just possess them. In today's dynamic corporate and technological landscape, many Black women leaders are deeply skilled yet under-recognized. Dr. Adams challenges listeners to move beyond quiet competence and into intentional visibility — leveraging presence, strategy, and even AI as tools to elevate their leadership. Together, they unpack how Black women can confidently own their leadership identity, strategically identify overlooked opportunities, and use emerging technologies to clarify and communicate their value. The conversation also explores Dr. Adams' frameworks of skill stacking and job stacking, offering a roadmap for building diversified income streams and future-proofing careers without sacrificing wellbeing. Anchored in Season 8's theme, Leaning Into Joy, this episode reminds us that amplifying our strengths is not about hustle for hustle's sake — it's about alignment, confidence, and redefining success on our own terms.   About Dr. Elizabeth Dr. Elizabeth M.

Self-Awareness, Mindset, and Audience Focus: Michael Delisswe John chats with executive communication coach Michael Delissa about self-awareness, feedback, and mindset in presentations, arguing that most presentation problems are internal rather than technical. Dea shares a humiliating early experience when a professor publicly flagged his filler words, and explains how he now builds self-awareness by recording speakers and letting them see distractions for themselves. They discuss avoiding perfectionism, reducing distracting habits without sounding robotic, and focusing on outcomes and audience needs rather than what the presenter wants to say. Dea highlights common issues such as covering too much, weak flow, lack of customisation, and insufficient emotional connection to the audience's pain points. He frames effective persuasion around trust, logic, and emotional connection, ties improvement to leveraging strengths and minimising “fatal flaws,” and promotes continual feedback, daily practice, and his book Leadership Accelerators on emotional intelligence, communication habits, and personality.

Send a textWhat happens when service begins in the heart and is sustained by the brain?In this episode, Nathan Freeburg sits down with Dr. Linda and Brian Schubring to explore why service is more than an obligation—it's a formative leadership practice. Together, they unpack:Why the future of work is emotionalWhat neuroscience teaches us about empathy and compassionHow service expands (rather than depletes) our capacityThe connection between service, identity, and personal “maps”Why leaders must model being the “lead servant”Through personal stories and practical insight, this conversation shows how service reshapes both individuals and teams—and why it may be one of the most important practices for emotionally healthy leadership.

If you've ever been told you're “too sensitive,” this episode is for you.In Episode 33, we explored the core traits of being a Highly Sensitive Person (HSP). In this follow-up episode, we go deeper.We explore what high sensitivity actually looks like in real life — including the hidden struggles that many HSPs carry, and the powerful strengths that emerge when the nervous system is supported rather than overwhelmed.You'll learn why perfectionism, people-pleasing, overthinking, and emotional absorption often develop in sensitive nervous systems — and how those same traits become insight, compassion, and resilience when supported.High sensitivity is not a flaw or a diagnosis. It is nervous system wiring, and when that wiring is understood, it becomes strength.

Can a "good deed" like organizing your spouse's closet actually lead to a conflict? Dr. Roger Smith discusses the delicate balance of helping one another without overstepping boundaries. By identifying where your strengths meet your partner's weaknesses, you can become a more effective parenting team—but only if you prioritize clear communication and trust. This episode explores how to move from antagonism to tandem work, ensuring your efforts to help are seen as acts of service rather than criticisms. Learn how to stay on the same page, respect boundaries, and use your unique talents to build a stronger, more unified home.

What if the business you're building is quietly costing you the life you actually want? In Episode 252, Paul chats with Jonathan Chen, Chief Catalyst of Blue Tide Catalyst, six-time entrepreneur, and executive coach focused on helping founders build exceptional companies for exceptional lives. Jonathan shares the hard truth many entrepreneurs don't confront: revenue is not value. Eighty-five percent of businesses that go to market never sell, and most founders have 80% of their net worth trapped inside their companies. Without structure, clarity, and alignment, many business owners reach the finish line exhausted and empty-handed. Through powerful analogies from youth soccer chaos to professional teams, and a deeply moving story from Honduras Jonathan unpacks what it really means to build a company that scales without sacrificing family, purpose, or personal fulfillment. This episode challenges entrepreneurs to redefine success not just as financial growth, but as impact, alignment, and legacy.

If your child is melting down over small things and nothing you say seems to help, this episode will completely change how you see the problem — and give you a clear, research-backed plan to fix it.Episode SummaryIn this episode of the Raising Resilient Kids Podcast, Tom and Jeannie sit down with Resilience Expert and educator Talia Kovacs, founder of Calm Connected. Talia brings a rare perspective to the resilience conversation — one grounded in 17+ years of classroom teaching, literacy coaching across hundreds of schools, and teaching Raising Resilient Kids, her own parent empowerment program.Talia opens with a game-changing mindset shift: parents need to think less like engineers (expecting specific inputs to produce specific outputs) and more like gardeners — observing, adjusting, and trusting that there is TIME to make positive changes. This reframe alone reduces parental anxiety and creates a calmer household climate.From there, Talia walks through her powerful three-step resilience framework: starting with yourself (because resilience is modeled, not taught), creating the right conditions at home through sustainable systems and structures, and finally building your child's inner capacity. Critically, she explains why so many parents want to skip straight to step three — and why that always backfires.You'll also discover why resilience is built through connection and community (not grit), and the one simple thing — delighting in your children — that you can start doing this week to shift the entire dynamic at home.In This Episode You'll Learn:Why resilience is modeled, not taught — and what that means for YOU as a parentTalia's 3-step resilience framework: Start with yourself → Create conditions → Build capacityHow to use your child's unique strengths as the foundation for resilienceWhy kids need time to 'fail privately' — and why this is disappearing from childhoodThe research truth about resilience: it's built in community, not by pushing harderOne action you can take THIS WEEK to start transforming your home environmentAbout Talia KovacsTalia Kovacs is the founder of Calm Connected and creator of the Raising Resilient Kids class. A former classroom teacher and graduate-level education professor, Talia spent years as the CEO of Lit Life, an international literacy consulting firm, coaching teachers across hundreds of schools on social-emotional based literacy. Her work has been featured in Forbes, Newsweek, the Today Show, and Scholastic. Talia serves on the board of directors for Lit Life and is dedicated to equipping parents with tools to foster deep inner resilience in their kids, creating calm, connected families where children truly thrive.Connect with TaliaWebsite: https://taliakovacs.com/Free Gift — 5 Steps to Use Your Kids' Strengths to Build Resilience: taliakovacs.com/giftAbout the Raising Resilient Kids PodcastThank you for listening to the Raising Resilient Kids Podcast!

Send a text In this episode, I continue exploring the powerful quote from Olympic gold medalist Helen Maroulis: “I won with all of my strengths and I won with all of my weaknesses.”After reflecting on The Confident Mind last week, I wanted to dig deeper into the idea that excellence does not require perfection. I explore how perfectionism can quietly become a control strategy, what we're actually hoping perfection will give us, and how we can pursue excellence — in motherhood, habits, faith, and even something as simple as getting dressed — without demanding flawlessness from ourselves. For shownotes and transcripts go to www.findingthefloor.com/ep249I would love to hear from you!

Lisa Poslusny left corporate accounting thinking life would feel different, only to discover she'd packed her stress right along with her. Now a mental fitness coach specializing in accounting professionals, she's learned that changing circumstances isn't enough, and the real work happens internally. Her candid, unscripted conversation with John Randolph on Episode 89 of CPA Life moves from personal transformation to industry-wide challenges, touching on everything from the saboteur assessment (those automatic negative thought patterns that reflect overused strengths) to why accounting firms waste energy trying to fix people's weaknesses instead of amplifying what they do best. There are many gems here: a Houston firm that built a multimillion-dollar practice by hiring part-time working moms, a tax director who found the one firm willing to let him build his own practice on the side, and a managing partner who finally admitted the real reason he opposed remote work was simply because he didn't want it. And the thread connecting it all? "Conventional wisdom" in the accounting profession is in serious need of deconstructing. Get the full show notes and more resources at CPALifePodcast.com

In this episode, we explore a deeper framework for executive leadership — one rooted in presence, growth, and resources.In high-pressure environments filled with distraction and complexity, leaders are often pulled in multiple directions. Instead of reacting faster, what if executive strategy began with slowing down long enough to see clearly?We discuss:Why presence is the foundation of executive leadershipHow distraction impacts decision-making and team cultureThe difference between performance improvement and true leadership growthWhy awareness, compassion, and curiosity are essential for executive formationHow to redefine “resources” beyond money, time, and headcountMoving from a scarcity mindset to recognizing abundanceWhat it means for a leader to become a resource for others“Leadership begins with presence, the ability to see clearly where we are and what is real.”“There is an abundance of resources to solve our problems and ways to pursue our challenges.”This conversation offers practical insight for executive leaders navigating pressure, change, and organizational complexity — and invites you to rethink strategy from the inside out.ReflectionWhich area needs your attention right now: Presence?
