Hats off to Minnesota! The Twin Cities kicked Greg Bovino's a** so hard he's limping back to California and then retiring altogether. We'll discuss the Trump administration's apparent pivot on the invasion of Minneapolis and the many legal cases pending there.First up, Minnesota v. Noem, where the state is trying to convince Judge Katherine Menendez to order DHS out of Minneapolis. Their Tenth Amendment argument got a big boost from Attorney General Pam Bondi, who actually sent Governor Walz a letter offering to pull back ICE's goons if the state would surrender its legal rights.Then we'll discuss Minnesota's lawsuit to preserve the evidence from the murder of Alex Pretti. The FBI says they've got it locked down, but Judge Eric Tostrud isn't so sure.Finally we've got a deep dive into the DOJ's effort to turn a protest at a church into a criminal conspiracy to oppress Christians.Show Links:Minnesota v.

Three months ago, I hired a social media manager who tanked my accounts, wasted $5,000, and nearly destroyed everything I'd built. My engagement dropped 60%. My followers started leaving. My sales dried up. It was a DISASTER. But that disaster taught me more about business, hiring, trust, and intuition than any $10K course ever could. In this raw, unfiltered episode, I'm sharing the red flags I ignored, the lessons I learned the hard way, and how I rebuilt my accounts STRONGER than before. If you've ever hired the wrong person, ignored your gut, or wondered "how do I find good help for my business?"—this episode is for you. I'm not holding back. I'm naming the specific mistakes (mine AND theirs), showing you the exact data that proved it wasn't working, and walking you through my rebuild strategy. This is the behind-the-scenes business lesson nobody talks about but EVERYONE needs to hear.If you enjoyed today's episode be sure to let us know on Instagram or over on our YouTube Channel - all under the name Keenya Kelly Subscribe to The If You Create It Podcast!Watch episodes on YouTube!!Get 150 Viral Hook Ideas for FREEhttps://www.keenyakelly.com/150hooksJoin the  Viral Visibility Methodhttps://www.viralvisibilitymethod.com

Do you feel like you're just going through the motions? Or do you think you don't the time or energy to excel at anything? If you want to find more meaning and fulfillment without doing a cold plunge at 3 a.m., this episode is for you. My guest is Brad Stulberg, a best-selling author and human performance expert. He explains that real excellence isn't about hustle culture or becoming the best in the world. Instead, it's about engaging in something worthwhile that aligns with your values. Some of the things we discuss are: The difference between real excellence and hustle culture Why pursuing excellence leads to greater life satisfaction, not burnout How to find something you're passionate about, even if you feel lost The importance of connecting your goals to your core values Why the things you work on also work on you The role community plays in achieving your goals How to stay motivated when you hit a plateau and stop seeing progress Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

Most people don't think about bone health until a DEXA scan (or a fracture) makes it feel urgent. In this episode of Dishing Up Nutrition, registered dietitians Melanie Beasley and Britni Vincent share everyday habits and real-food strategies to slow bone loss and support stronger bones, especially in midlife and beyond.

Today we’re wrapping up our One Word 2026 series with the final two invitations: enthusiastic and trusting. I wanted this whole month to feel unhurried—like space to look back on 2025 with gratitude, and then ask God, “How do You want to grow me in 2026?” And here’s what I’ve realized: enthusiasm isn’t something we manufacture by willpower. Real, lasting enthusiasm comes from being filled with God—and I love that the word itself traces back to that idea. If you’ve felt tired, distracted, discouraged, or even a little apathetic, I’m inviting you to consider what it would look like to be ardently alive, fueled by the Spirit. Then we talk about trust—because so many of us are carrying unknowns, losses, or things we can’t control. Trust is choosing to rely on God’s character when the outcome isn’t clear. We’ll look at Zacchaeus (Luke 19), the centurion (Matthew 8), and we’ll end with a reminder that God’s holiness means He is truly worthy of our trust. What We Cover: Discover what “enthusiastic” originally meant—not just high energy, but being “in God” and Spirit-filled. Identify the real enemy of enthusiasm: indifference and apathy that grows when we’re overwhelmed and disconnected from God’s strength. Learn how spiritual enthusiasm shows up in real life through Zacchaeus: curiosity, bold response, generosity, and immediate heart-change in Jesus’ presence. Understand trust as steady reliance on God’s character, not on what you can control, predict, or prove. Be invited to name your modern “chariots and horses”—the things you’re tempted to rely on for security (money, approval, control, success, relationships, etc.). See what extraordinary faith looks like in the centurion: trusting Jesus’ authority without needing visible proof. Walk away with two simple affirmations to practice daily if either word becomes your focus for 2026.

Crises don't just knock out power—they unravel the safeguards that keep predators at bay. We dig into how traffickers exploit natural disasters, pandemics, and even major events by stepping into system failures with promises of food, shelter, and work that morph into coercion and control. From labor trafficking in post-hurricane rebuilds to targeted online recruitment of displaced single mothers, we connect the dots between vulnerability, policy loopholes, and criminal opportunity.Our guest, Benjamin Greer, a trafficking subject-matter expert who trains law enforcement and advises a state threat assessment center, breaks down real-world case studies and the modalities behind them: forced labor disguised as reconstruction, illicit adoption pipelines after the Haiti earthquake, and the way suspended wage protections can trigger a “gold rush” of poorly monitored contracts. We talk frankly about data gaps around big sporting events, why preparedness still matters, and how to turn these high-attention moments into training, service mapping, and smarter plans.We also shift to a public health lens. Pandemic closures revealed new disruption tools—like utility shutoffs and health code enforcement—that pushed illicit businesses out of the shadows. Then we widen the circle: code enforcement, utility workers, delivery drivers, rideshare drivers, shelter intake teams, and building inspectors can all be first identifiers with the right signals and anonymous reporting paths. In court, we unpack why expert witnesses on trauma and coercive control help juries make sense of texts, timelines, and victim behavior that seem contradictory but align with science.Finally, we go after the motive: money. Stronger fines, meaningful restitution, and modern asset forfeiture that targets the instrumentalities of coercion—homes, vehicles, farms, business premises—can make exploitation a losing proposition. Pair that with multidisciplinary task forces, shared intel platforms, and survivor-centered services, and communities can close the space traffickers rely on.

In this episode of Run the Riot, David sits down with Katie Gunvalson, an ultrarunner known less for traditional races and more for her relentless pursuit of Fastest Known Time (FKT) efforts. Katie shares her journey from road marathons to multi-day ultrarunning challenges that test not just fitness, but resilience, problem-solving, and mental toughness. Katie opens up about repeatedly falling short on major FKT attempts — including the Pacific Crest Trail and the Arizona Trail — and how those setbacks nearly convinced her to quit. Instead, she chose to keep showing up, learning, and refining her approach. That persistence paid off with a breakthrough performance on the Oregon Coast Trail, followed by a gritty, emotional FKT on the Ouachita Trail, where she battled exhaustion, poor visibility, fueling issues, and long nights alone in the woods. Throughout the conversation, Katie explains why FKTs appeal to her more than ultra racing, how thru-hiking skills have made her a stronger ultrarunner, and why embracing discomfort is essential for growth. This episode is a powerful reminder that success in ultrarunning — and in life — often comes only after repeated failure. Whether you're an aspiring ultrarunner, an ultra racing veteran, or someone struggling to stay resilient after setbacks, Katie's story will resonate deeply. Key Topics Covered: Transitioning from road running to ultrarunning Why FKTs demand a different skill set than ultra racing Learning to manage failure and repeated setbacks Mental strategies for multi-day ultrarunning Fueling, sleep deprivation, and problem-solving on long efforts Why not giving up ultimately leads to breakthroughs Show notes: http://www.theriot.run/katieg

How often do you find yourself replaying a conversation in your head over and over? Or maybe you get caught in a spiral of imagining every possible worst-case scenario. You are definitely not alone—we all ruminate sometimes. But overthinking wastes your time and drains your mental strength. Fortunately, you don't have to let your brain keep spiraling down an unhelpful path. Today, I'm sharing three simple words that will empower you to break the mental spiral so you don't stay stuck in your head. Some of the things I talk about are: Why thinking longer and harder about a problem actually creates tunnel vision The real root cause of overthinking (it boils down to one specific feeling) The exact 3-word phrase that stops a mental spiral in its tracks How to use the "Choose Your Adventure" mindset to take control of your life Why talking to yourself in the second person leads to better decisions A simple 3-step strategy to move from autopilot to action today Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

I'm celebrating 6 years in podcasting today!

The powerline industry is entering a new era, shaped by the rise of smart grid technologies. These tools raise important questions. How will these innovations impact the job and how do line workers adapt to make the work safer and more efficient? In this sponsored episode, managing editor Jeff Postelwait chats with Lea Maurer (Business Development Director at S&C Electric Company) about the push for more reliable, resilient power, and why utilities are turning to new technologies to modernize the grid.   This episode is sponsored by S&C Electric 

From Keith's winter storm preparation kit to The Monks' Walk for Peace, KATG.com has all the fresh pics. Keith also discusses revisiting Fox's The Moment of Truth, America's relationship with Greenland, Trump's Nobel Peace Prize, and his hatred for North Carolina representative Tim Moore. Stay strong.

Today's guest is Martin Bingisser. Martin is the founder of HMMR Media, one of the most trusted independent voices in throws and track & field education. A former competitive hammer thrower, Martin blends firsthand experience with deep historical and technical insight to analyze training methods, athlete development, and coaching culture. Through articles, videos, and interviews, his work bridges elite practice and practical coaching, earning him respect from coaches and performance professionals around the world. In a world of rapid-information delivery and short attention spans, the wisdom of master coaches is becoming increasingly rare. Martin has spent substantial time with two legends in the coaching world, Anatoliy Bondarchuk and Vern Gambetta. Spending time discussing the work of the past, and wisdom through the present is a critical practice in forming an effective coaching viewpoint. On today's episode I chat with Martin in a wide-ranging conversation in coaching lessons on efficiency, adaptability, and performing under pressure (two throws, no warmups, huge crowds). We transition into Bondarchuk's training philosophy: exercise classification, consistency, “strength” as sport-specific force production, and why weight-room PRs can distract from performance. The episode closes with motor-learning insights on rhythm, holistic cues, and how Vern Gambetta's “general” work complements specificity.

Stronger eccentric abilities allow athletes to tolerate higher forces with less breakdown. Use controlled eccentric work to improve robustness without chasing constant intensity. 15:40 – Isometrics depend on intent, not just position Holding a position is not enough to drive adaptation. Martin emphasizes producing force into the immovable position to create meaningful stimulus. Cue effort and intent during isometrics instead of passively holding time. 24:30 – Tendon stiffness supports speed and efficiency Tendons transmit force, they do not just store it. Training should respect gradual loading to avoid disrupting tendon health. Elastic qualities improve when stiffness and timing are trained together. 33:50 – Fatigue management shapes training quality Not all fatigue is productive. Martin highlights watching bar speed, coordination, and effort quality to guide decisions. End sets when movement quality degrades rather than chasing prescribed numbers. 42:15 – Match training tools to the desired adaptation Eccentrics, isometrics, and dynamics all serve different purposes. Martin stresses selecting methods based on the adaptation you want, not trends. Blend methods thoughtfully instead of stacking stressors blindly. 51:20 – Daily readiness should influence loading Athletes do not arrive the same every day. Use simple readiness cues like bar speed and coordination to adjust training. Flexibility in programming helps preserve long term progress. 1:00:10 – Durability is built over time, not rushed Long term development requires patience and consistency. Martin reinforces gradual progression to protect connective tissue. not short term peaks. Quotes from Martin Bingisser “Eccentric strength is what allows athletes to absorb and redirect force safely.” “An isometric only works if there is intent behind it.” “Tendons are not passive structures, they are active contributors to performance.” “Fatigue is not the enemy, but unmanaged fatigue is.” “You have to choose training tools based on what you want to adapt.” “Readiness is not about feelings, it is about what you observe.” “Durability comes from respecting time and progression.” About Martin Bingisser Martin Bingisser is the founder of HMMR Media, one of the most respected independent platforms covering throws, strength training, and track & field performance. A former competitive hammer thrower, Martin combines firsthand athletic experience with a sharp analytical eye to break down training theory, competition trends, and athlete development across all levels of the sport. Through HMMR Media, he produces in-depth articles, interviews, videos, and educational resources that bridge the gap between elite coaching practice and accessible learning. His work is known for its clarity, historical context, and willingness to challenge oversimplified narratives in modern training. Martin has collaborated with coaches, athletes, and federations worldwide, and his content is widely used by throws coaches, sport scientists, and performance professionals seeking thoughtful, evidence-informed perspectives. His approach emphasizes long-term athlete development, technical mastery, and the craft of coaching; making him a trusted voice in the global track and field community.

Bourbon in hand, we take aim at a tender truth: kids don't break marriages, unspoken change does. We sit with Mark and Bri, the duo behind Intimacy Evolution, to unpack how partners drift from lovers to roommates and how to stitch connection back into a life run by diapers, deadlines, and depleted energy. They share what most couples miss, bonding timelines differ, resentment hides under tiny fights, and presence beats problem-solving. You'll hear the 4 H's to ask for the right kind of support, why “tell me more” seven times gets to the heart, and how regular intimacy can be the simplest reset button.We go inside men's work with practical detail. Mark describes a free monthly men's circle and immersive retreats where guys move from small talk to real talk, use breath work and embodiment to release stress, and leave better able to listen at home. Separate is sexy, within clear boundaries, because individuality feeds attraction. And we get personal: a mentor's question pushed Mark and Bri to close a practice, sell a home, and move to Bentonville to build a new model for relationships. They explain why classic couples therapy often mismatches the stakes and how their two-on-two coaching with daily support prioritizes deep connection over rehashing old conflict.If you're tired of surface advice, this conversation offers tools you can use tonight: set a weekly state-of-us, try the 4 H's before advice, create micro-rituals that spark closeness, and find a circle that holds you to your best. We want Northwest Arkansas, and your home, to be healthier, braver, and more connected. Subscribe, share this with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review with the one ritual that brings you and your partner back together.

Jason is joined by his friend, Chris Singleton, for a powerful and inspiring conversation about love being stronger than hate. Please rate and review the podcast to help amplify these messages to others! Summary: In a polarized world, how do the most effective leaders foster unity and performance? In this live episode from Thermostat Cultures Live, Jason V Barger sits down with former professional baseball player and inspirational speaker Chris Singleton. Born from the tragedy of the Charleston church shooting, Chris's message of resilience challenges leaders to rethink how they navigate adversity and influence their teams. This conversation moves beyond standard leadership platitudes to address the core mechanics of human connection in the workplace. Jason and Chris explore the concept of "catalysts"—individuals who alter the trajectory of our lives—and discuss how executives can become those catalysts for their own organizations. They also deconstruct the traditional view of accountability, shifting it from a punitive measure to a reciprocal tool that builds trust and reinforces positive behavior. Essential listening for C-Suite executives, HR directors, and team leaders committed to shaping compelling cultures, this episode offers actionable insights on emotional intelligence, the cost of grace, and the power of shared ownership. Episode Notes & Timestamps: [00:00] Intro: Jason welcomes listeners into the room at Thermostat Cultures Live, setting the stage for a conversation on authentic leadership. [00:02] Meet Chris Singleton: Introduction to Chris's background as a former Chicago Cubs draftee and his pivot to inspirational speaking following the tragedy in Charleston, SC. [00:04] Identifying Your "Catalysts": Chris identifies the three pivotal figures who shaped his worldview on love and leadership: his high school coach, his wife, and a mentor who taught him financial literacy. [00:07] Owning the Mistake: A look at Starbucks' response to crisis as a case study in corporate accountability and the importance of leaders owning their shortcomings to build empathy. [00:09] Redefining Accountability: Jason and Chris discuss why accountability is often viewed negatively and how to reframe it as a reciprocal, "two-way street" that acknowledges positive actions as much as negative ones. [00:14] The Wellness-Performance Connection: Insights from the room on how the well-being of employees directly correlates to high performance and trust within an organization. [00:15] Who Carries the Culture?: A critical question for every executive: Does the culture survive and thrive when leadership is not in the room? [00:18] The Cost of Grace: A profound discussion on forgiveness in leadership and life—why grace often costs more for the giver than the receiver, and how to maintain boundaries while moving forward. Key Takeaways for Leaders: Reciprocal Accountability: Shift your team's mindset to view accountability as mutual support rather than top-down policing. Culture Ownership: Strategies to ensure your organizational values are upheld by every employee, not just senior management. Resilience: How to use personal adversity as a foundation for empathetic and strong leadership.

In this episode, I sit down with Caitlin V, a sex educator and author whose work focuses on intimacy, communication, and long-term relationship dynamics. Caitlin has spent years helping individuals and couples better understand desire, connection, and the often-unspoken issues that quietly erode relationships over time. We discussed how communication breaks down, why people struggle to ask for what they want, and how unspoken expectations erode connection over time. We also talk about common misconceptions around sex, the real value of intimacy in long-term relationships, and what actually helps couples reconnect—not in theory, but in practice. This conversation isn't about shock value or trends; it's about understanding ourselves better, communicating more clearly, and building relationships that don't slowly decay in silence.

Do you ever feel like you don't have a reason to get out of bed? Or maybe you feel lonely, even when you're in a room full of people? If you've ever wondered what it truly means to feel valued and important, this episode is for you. My guest is Jennifer Wallace, a journalist and the author of Mattering. She explains that mattering is a fundamental human need that comes right after food and shelter. When we feel like we matter, we thrive. But when that need goes unmet, we can become anxious, depressed, or angry. Fortunately, we can all do things that remind us that we matter. Some of the things we discuss are: The difference between mattering, belonging, and purpose Why being needed isn't the same as mattering How to feel like you matter without chasing achievement and recognition The one question to ask yourself every morning to prove to yourself that you matter How to rebuild your sense of mattering after a major life transition like a divorce, job loss, or relocation A simple formula for finding a sense of mattering by adding value to the world How to handle people who act out because they feel like they don't matter Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

In this episode of the Tactical Dent Tech Podcast, I share a personal reflection on what it means to lose something you once loved — and what happens when you find your way back to it. I talk about growing up in an automotive family, falling into paintless dent repair, struggling through the early years, and eventually mastering the craft. I also open up about stepping away from the trade, building a successful marketing business, and realizing that something was missing — even when life looked "perfect" from the outside. This episode covers: Growing up around cars and the garage culture Discovering PDR and pushing through the hard early years Wanting mastery more than anything else Losing passion and chasing what looked better on the other side Building success outside the trade — and still feeling the void Coming back to PDR with renewed purpose Why serving people and working with your hands matters The difference between happiness and joy Remembering your first love and firing it back up This is a message for technicians who feel burned out, disconnected, or questioning whether what they do still matters. Sometimes you don't realize how valuable something is until you step away from it. If you're in the PDR industry and need a reminder of why this trade is meaningful — not just profitable — this episode is for you. Welcome to the Tactical Tech Movement.

Ever sit down to work on the thing you used to love… and immediately feel irritated, numb, or straight-up exhausted? Not because you're failing. Not because you're lazy. But because your life quietly outgrew the way you're running it. If you're a high achiever who's built real momentum but secretly feels drained, uninspired, or disconnected from your own goals, this episode is for you. Today I'm breaking down the quiet side of burnout that no one talks about — the kind that sneaks in after things start working. We're talking about why ambitious women lose their spark not because they're ungrateful or overworked, but because hustle culture taught them to scale their lives without upgrading their systems, boundaries, or self care. You'll learn why motivation disappears when your mental load explodes, how invisible emotional labor is stealing 10–15 hours of your week, and why structure (not more discipline) is the key to getting your energy, creativity, and excitement back. This isn't about doing less. It's about finally being supported by what you're building instead of carrying it alone. Why burnout often shows up after success, not before The hidden emotional and mental labor draining high achievers How hustle culture keeps women stuck in survival mode Why motivation is a nervous system response (not a mindset issue) The difference between being needed and being fulfilled How chaos quietly kills creativity and joy Why structure is the ultimate form of self care for ambitious women How to stop running a grown-up life on “pure vibes” You're not tired of your dream — you're tired of carrying it alone Burnout isn't always dramatic; sometimes it's quiet resentment High achievers don't need more motivation, they need fewer open loops Hustle culture glorifies chaos, but structure protects your best energy Self care for high achievers looks like systems, boundaries, and clarity — not bubble baths High achievers feeling disconnected from their goals Women juggling careers, businesses, or side hustles Anyone questioning why success suddenly feels heavy Ambitious women craving sustainable growth without burnout Anyone ready to break up with hustle culture for good If this episode hit a little too close to home, here's your next step. Join us at The Reset Room . Our private membership for ambitious women who want to grow, earn, and lead without burning themselves out in the process. Inside, members are reclaiming 10–15 hours a week, reducing mental load, and building lives that actually feel livable — all through systems that support the level they're stepping into. ✨ Clear priorities ✨ Less overwhelm ✨ Stronger boundaries ✨ Real self care that works for high achievers

And in this re-shared message, we break down why procrastination sneaks into your shop and your life, and how one clear decision can flip the switch on momentum fast.We dig into how our brains are wired to protect us, not push us forward. That's great when you're avoiding danger, but not so great when you're deciding on ADAS training, EV safety procedures, hiring your next tech, or finally fixing that workflow bottleneck everyone complains about. While you're thinking it over, the world doesn't pause. OEMs update procedures. Insurers shift expectations. Your team waits. Pressure builds.I share a personal story about waiting too long on a decision and losing years I can't get back. The relief didn't come from the perfect answer. It came from deciding. From there, we walk through a simple framework that works in real shops: decide, observe, adjust, and keep moving. No perfection required.We also connect mindset to real results. Better hiring choices. Cleaner processes. Higher profit. Stronger leadership when things get heavy. Tools matter, but mindset runs the shop. Coaching comes up as a force multiplier, not a magic fix, but a way to shorten the learning curve and stop going it alone.If you're tired of “fixing to get ready,” this episode is your nudge to move.3 Key TakeawaysWaiting feels safe, but it quietly costs you time, energy, and opportunity.Decisions create clarity.

It's about doing what fits.Alignment isn't a feeling.

In today's episode, I sit down with Shaan Rais, a high-integrity brand builder and event creator who understands how energy, intention, and consistency shape real influence. We talk about why brand is not a logo or a tagline, but the ability to capture your essence through skills, knowledge, and desire. I share how community is built through frequency, why 10 percent of people will love you and 10 percent will never align, and how that tension actually strengthens trust. We also cover non-negotiable behaviors, faith as a daily practice, sleep as a performance advantage, and how shortening resistance creates happiness, clarity, and sustainable success.

Would you like access to our advanced agency training for FREE? https://www.agencymastery360.com/training Running an agency today looks nothing like it did even a few years ago. What used to work: SEO-driven inbound leads, tight vertical niches, and predictable platforms, has shifted fast. Today's featured guest has learned to adapt to these changes and went from having a clear and defined niche to letting clients' needs guide the next steps for her business. She'll talk about navigating those changes, evolving your positioning, and deciding whether you're actually willing to do what adaptation requires. Laryssa Wirstiuk is the owner of Joy Joya, a boutique email and SMS marketing agency that serves women-focused, product-based e-commerce brands. With more than 15 years in marketing and over a decade running her own agency, Laryssa has lived through multiple shifts in platforms, buyer behavior, and agency models. Her background as a marketing generalist, working across SEO, social, and email, gave her the flexibility to adapt as the market changed. That adaptability, combined with a strong point of view on branding, inbound marketing, and outbound growth, made her a great guest for agency owners questioning what's next for their own businesses. In this episode, we'll discuss: Starting out with a clear niche and evolving along the way. Adopting a hybrid growth strategy. Personal brand vs. clear offers.

Ready to design faster and smarter? Go to wix.com/studio to get started. How to Choose a Niche Without Getting Stuck In It Laryssa didn't stumble into her original niche by accident. After working across industries like tech, education, and healthcare, she realized none of them truly excited her. Jewelry stood out because of its mix of fashion, storytelling, and creativity. Rather than guessing, she intentionally took in-house and freelance roles in the jewelry industry to build credibility before going all in. That vertical focus paid off. By committing to a specific industry, Laryssa was able to build a strong referral network, speak at trade shows, and create highly targeted content that drove inbound leads. But after nine years in the jewelry space, she noticed that the biggest results she delivered for clients consistently came from email marketing. What started as one service among many became the clear driver of ROI. The shift from a vertical niche (jewelry) to a horizontal specialization (email and SMS marketing) wasn't a sudden pivot. It was a response to real performance data. Stronger results, clearer processes, and deeper expertise made the decision feel natural. Your niche should serve your strengths, not trap you in yesterday's model. Why Inbound Alone Is No Longer Enough For most of Joy Joya's history, inbound marketing did the heavy lifting. Content, SEO, YouTube, and a podcast tailored to the jewelry industry created steady deal flow without much outbound effort. That's one of the biggest benefits of vertical focus: you can dominate a small pond with the right content and relationships. But the market shifted. Search behavior changed. Social algorithms changed and AI entered the picture. Laryssa realized that relying solely on inbound was no longer enough. Over the past year or two, she intentionally started building outbound muscles: cold email, cold calling, LinkedIn outreach, and systems that allowed her team to support those efforts. The key insight here isn't that inbound is dead, it's that inbound alone is risky. Agencies that survived and grew were willing to adapt their acquisition mix, even when it meant doing uncomfortable things. The Hard Question Every Agency Owner Faces Adapting isn't just about strategy. You should also ask yourself whether you want to do what's required next. New platforms, new sales motions, and new expectations can trigger an existential crisis for long-time owners. You don't have to love every part of running an agency, but you do need the discipline to face the things you'd rather avoid. The solution isn't grinding forever but rather identifying what you don't enjoy, systemizing it, delegating it, or removing it altogether. Agency owners should get comfortable with change as a necessary part of running an agency. The hard part is that change often targets the things you already tolerate but don't love. That's why many agencies stall. The owners don't hate their situation enough to change it but they don't love it enough to stay fully committed either. When Personal Brand Creates Attention But Not Conversions As AI and recommendation engines influence buying decisions, developing a personal brand becomes vital when it comes to being recommended by these tools. People want to work with leaders whose beliefs, values, and perspectives they understand. That's why podcasts, long-form content, and consistent points of view matter more than ever. In her case, Laryssa shared an unexpected challenge after developing her personal brand. She had built such a strong personal and brand identity that many people understood her perspective but didn't fully understand what her agency actually did. In some cases, prospects were more familiar with the brand name than the services behind it. The lesson for agency owners is balance. Thought leadership without clear offers creates attention without conversion. As platforms evolve, it's not enough to educate—you need to connect that education to the right services, for the right audience, at the right time.

Are you raising your kids to become mentally strong adults? It's tough to do in today's world for so many reasons. But we owe it to kids to give them the skills they need to manage their emotions, think rationally, and take the productive action they need to live their best lives. Unfortunately, many of today's most common parenting practices are robbing kids of the mental strength they need to thrive. Today, I'm breaking down the things you're going to want to stop doing if you want to raise strong kids. Some of the things I talk about are: The 5 parenting habits that rob kids of mental strength Why it's crucial not to condone a victim mentality in your children How teaching kids to avoid risks can actually increase their anxiety The connection between chores and raising responsible adults Why you shouldn't try to regulate your child's emotions for them The importance of letting kids fail and make mistakes in a supportive environment Actionable steps to help your kids build problem-solving and coping skills Subscribe to ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Mentally Stronger Premium⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for exclusive content like weekly bonus episodes, mental strength challenges, and office hours with me.

Being independent in a relationship doesn't mean being distant, cold, or emotionally unavailable. It means knowing who you are, honoring your own needs, and choosing your partner from a place of fullness—not fear.In this episode, I'm talking about what independence in a relationship actually looks like, the difference between healthy independence and emotional walls, why having your own life makes love stronger, and how to stay grounded in yourself while still building a future with someone else.If you've ever worried that being independent would make you “too much” or “too distant,” this episode is your reminder that the healthiest relationships are built by two whole people—choosing each other every day.CONNECT WITH ME:Instagram: https://instagram.com/oliviaeveshaboTikTok: https://tiktok.com/@oliviaeveshaboPodcast: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/for-you-from-eve/id1544519585YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@oliviaeveshaboSPONSORS ✨Mint MobileQuit overspending on wireless with 50% off Unlimited Premium wireless.Plans start at $15/month at https://mintmobile.com/fromeveAirDoctorGet cleaner air in your home with up to $300 off.Visit https://airdoctorpro.com and use code FROMEVERulaAffordable, high-quality therapy that's actually covered by insurance.Get started at https://www.rula.com/fromeveRellaSupport your cycle and hormones naturally.Shop at https://getrella.com and use code FROMEVEOlive & JuneSalon-quality nails at home.Get 20% off your first system at https://oliveandjune.com/FROMEVEFableticsActivewear you'll actually want to live in.Shop at https://fabletics.com/fromeveFÜMA natural way to reduce cravings and support better habits.Try it at https://tryfum.com/FROMEVECowboy ColostrumDaily gut + immune support.Shop at https://cowboycolostrum.com with code FROMEVESee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In The Leaner, Stronger Runner Framework – Part 3: Why Motivation Isn't the Problem (And What Actually Creates Consistency), we're talking about the missing piece that determines whether anything you've learned so far actually sticks. Most runners think they need more motivation, more discipline, or more willpower. But if that were true, you'd already have the results you want. The real issue isn't effort—it's the system you're relying on to stay consistent when life gets stressful, motivation fades, and things don't go perfectly. In this episode, I break down why motivation always runs out, why starting over feels so normal for runners, and what actually creates long-term consistency without burnout. This is about identity, structure, and learning how to trust yourself again—not trying harder or being perfect. If you're tired of resetting and ready to build something that lasts, this episode brings everything together. Start The Leaner, Stronger Runner Project Ready to stop guessing and start making real progress? If you're training hard but not getting the results you want… If running feels harder than it should… If you know you could be leaner, stronger, and more confident — but you're not sure what to fix first… That's exactly why I created The Leaner, Stronger Runner Project. This is a step-by-step coaching program for runners who want to: Lose fat without wrecking their training Build real, functional strength that makes running feel easier Fuel their body the right way so energy stays high and cravings calm down Develop the mindset and habits that make progress stick for life You'll get clear guidance, proven strategies, and ongoing coaching — all designed specifically for runners. No extremes. No random plans. No spinning your wheels. If you're ready to train smarter, fuel better, and finally feel strong in your body again, Go to runningleancoaching.com/ready to learn more and get started today. The post 316.

In this solo episode, Darin breaks down one of the most misunderstood drivers of behavior change: environment. We've been taught that success comes down to discipline, motivation, and willpower, but neuroscience tells a very different story. Darin explains how modern environments hijack the brain's reward system, override conscious choice, and quietly shape habits before we even realize it. This episode is a practical, science-backed roadmap for redesigning your surroundings so healthy behaviors become automatic and self-sabotaging patterns lose their grip.     What You'll Learn Why willpower is a weak and unreliable backup system How your environment shapes behavior before conscious choice The neuroscience behind cues, habits, and automatic behavior Why modern food and tech are engineered to hijack dopamine How stress amplifies cravings and impulsive behavior The link between cortisol, dopamine, and habit formation Why changing your environment works better than "trying harder" How visual cues influence food choices and cravings Why phones, notifications, and color overstimulate the brain Simple ways to design a SuperLife environment that supports your goals     Chapters 00:00:03 – Welcome to SuperLife and the mission of sovereignty 00:00:33 – Sponsor: TruNiagen NAD⁺ supplements and why verification matters 00:02:18 – Introducing today's topic: environment vs willpower 00:02:42 – Why willpower has been misunderstood 00:03:18 – Willpower as a weak backup system 00:03:32 – How surroundings shape habits automatically 00:03:53 – The neuroscience of behavior change 00:04:01 – Dopamine hijacking in modern life 00:04:14 – Designing environments that make good habits automatic 00:05:06 – Why this topic matters more than ever 00:05:46 – External cues and automatic brain responses 00:06:18 – Hippocampus, basal ganglia, and habit loops 00:06:55 – Nudge theory and environmental design 00:07:31 – Why willpower shouldn't lead behavior change 00:07:55 – Food cues, stress, and cravings 00:08:20 – Phones, notifications, and dopamine overload 00:09:05 – Reward prediction and cue-driven behavior 00:10:02 – Redesigning environments to reduce addiction 00:10:34 – Stress hormones and habit reinforcement 00:11:30 – Sponsor: Our Place non-toxic cookware 00:13:34 – Stress, scrolling, and lost time 00:14:26 – Junk food, stress, and compulsive eating 00:15:12 – How environmental cues shift food desire 00:15:28 – Engineered foods and reward circuits 00:16:09 – Tech cues, stress, and attention hijacking 00:17:06 – Practical solutions: designing a SuperLife environment 00:17:48 – Kitchen setup and visual food cues 00:18:41 – Workspace design and single-purpose zones 00:19:08 – Reducing digital dopamine triggers 00:19:32 – Using grayscale mode on your phone 00:20:32 – Social environment and behavior modeling 00:21:21 – Community, support, and the SuperLife Patreon 00:22:18 – Bringing nature into your home 00:23:19 – Environment influences habits more than willpower 00:23:52 – Why inaction keeps you stuck 00:24:13 – Changing your environment to change your life 00:24:26 – Closing thoughts and call to action     Thank You to Our Sponsors: Our Place: Non-toxic cookware that keeps harmful chemicals out of your food.
