We want to hear from you. If you're open to a quick chat with our producer, it only takes a few seconds to sign up: https://forms.gle/TTdgZ9R6HykpPaEh6In this episode, I sit down with Brendan Kane—strategist, speaker, and author of Hook Point—to talk about what really drives social media success. Spoiler alert: it's not hacks, trends, or frequency. Brendan breaks down why storytelling beats every algorithm trick in the book and how creators can find sustainable, repeatable success by understanding proven content formats. We dive deep into the five steps to virality, what most people get wrong about content creation, and why shifting from passive to active consumption can transform your strategy. Brendan also unpacks what formats are, why they unlock creativity (not restrict it), and how even a single tweak in your delivery can massively shift performance. If you've ever felt like you're spinning your wheels online, this conversation will help you realign your approach and focus on what actually works.Timestamps:(00:00) - Introduction(01:02) - Why storytelling matters(03:26) - Algorithms favor great stories(06:01) - Five-step social media success formula(08:57) - The role of content formats(12:10) - Format vs. trend: the big shift(15:23) - How to find your winning format(18:12) - What makes a video go viral(21:40) - Creating ideas within formats(25:00) - Real example: Tanner's bag deconstructions(28:34) - Monetizing without selling(31:15) - ROI = size of your vision(33:50) - Why consistency and time matter(36:28) - One video at a time(38:45) - Learning through reflection(40:55) - Final thoughts and teaser for Part 2Check out today's guest, Brendan Kane:Brendan's Website: https://brendanjkane.com/Brendan's Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/BrendanJamesKane/Brendan's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brendankane/?hl=enBrendan's YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@BrendanKane/Check out The Futur:Website: https://www.thefutur.com/Courses: https://www.thefutur.com/shopLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/company/the-futur/Podcasts: https://thefutur.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/thefuturishere/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theFuturisHere/Twitter: https://x.com/thefuturishereTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thefuturishereYoutube:https://www.youtube.com/thefuturishereCheck out Chris Do:Website: https://zaap.bio/thechrisdoLinkedIn:https://www.linkedin.com/in/thechrisdo/Facebook:https://www.facebook.com/BizOfDesignInstagram:

In this second part of our interview with Kevin Eikenberry, author of "Flexible Leadership," we explore how implementing flexible leadership strategies to navigate complex situations and overcome challenges, drives organizational success. Why Implementing Flexible Leadership Strategies Matters for Women Leaders While understanding the flexible leadership mindset is essential, the real value comes from implementation. For women leaders navigating today's complex business environment, implementing flexible leadership strategies creates a powerful advantage in overcoming traditional barriers. According to recent research from McKinsey, companies with women in executive positions are 30% more likely to outperform their competitors, highlighting the business impact when women leaders successfully implement adaptive approaches. Mastering Leadership Flexors: Key Strategies for Women Leaders At the core of implementing flexible leadership strategies is what Eikenberry calls "flexors" – paired leadership approaches that might initially seem contradictory but are actually complementary dimensions of effective leadership: Results vs. People Focus for Women Leaders Rather than permanently choosing one approach, women leaders who implement flexible leadership strategies consciously shift their emphasis depending on what the situation requires: "This isn't binary," explains Eikenberry. "The right answer is how to lean in the direction of each. During crunch time before a deadline, I might focus more on results, but afterward shift toward supporting my people's needs." Decisive vs. Collaborative Decision-Making Strategies Women leaders can adjust their decision-making approach based on: Urgency of the situation Expertise required for quality decisions Need for buy-in during implementation Development requirements of team members Directive vs. Coaching Communication Strategies Effective women leaders consciously choose their communication approach: When clear direction is needed versus when development is the priority How much structure to provide versus autonomy to encourage When to speak with authority versus when to facilitate dialogue Implementing flexible leadership strategies means consciously selecting the appropriate approach rather than defaulting to habit or personal preference. Click the image to learn more. Practical Implementation Strategies for Women Leaders Women leaders can immediately begin implementing flexible leadership strategies through these practical applications: Context-Based Decision Framework for Women Leaders Assess whether the situation is clear, complicated, complex, or chaotic Consider what specific outcomes are required in this particular context Determine whether to decide independently, seek input, or fully delegate Match your leadership approach to the urgency, complexity, and expertise needed Adaptive Communication Strategies for Women Leaders Develop multiple ways to deliver the same message for different stakeholders Adjust your communication style based on audience and circumstance Know when directness will be more effective than collaboration Create communication approaches that overcome potential gender bias Research shows that 36% of women leaders report being interrupted in meetings, compared to just 15% of men in similar positions. Implementing flexible communication strategies helps women leaders maintain their effectiveness despite these challenges. Strategic Feedback Systems for Women Leaders Women leaders who implement flexible leadership strategies create robust feedback mechanisms: Structure psychological safety for honest communication Ask specific questions rather than general ones ("How could I improve my listening in today's meeting?" versus "How am I doing?") Build trust through consistency between words and actions Recognize that positional power may inhibit candid responses As Eikenberry notes: Implementing Change Leadership Strategies for Women Leaders

In this episode of The Healers Café, Manon Bolliger, FCAH, RBHT (facilitator and retired naturopath with 30+ years of practice) speaks to Kimberly Mitchell to emphasize that mental health recovery is personal, requires self-compassion, and is possible through conscious effort, self-reflection, and a commitment to personal growth. For the transcript and full story go to: https://www.drmanonbolliger.com/kimberly-mitchell    Highlights from today's episode include:  Kimberly Mitchell  13:09 because with limiting beliefs, those are often not even our own voices, right? We grow up being told things, Kimberly Mitchell  17:01 I'll tell you, really, what it comes from is the knowledge, the awareness that I am in control of my entire experience. Manon Bolliger  in Bowen College, the methodology has a structure to it, and it really made me think how, when people learn and start they they're fundamentally following the structure, and as the practitioner becomes more intuitive,   ABOUT KIMBERLY MITCHELL: Kimberly Mitchell is a mental health advocate, veteran, and transformational leader dedicated to empowering individuals and small businesses. Growing up in a household where independence was a necessity, she excelled academically, earning numerous awards, including the Citizenship Medal from the Daughters of the American Revolution. Her resilience was tested when she lost her father at 16, but she channeled her determination into service, enlisting in the Air Force. As the only woman in her Vehicle Maintenance training class, she set a new standard by earning the highest test scores and later served in Operation Desert Shield/Desert Storm, achieving the rank of E-4 Sergeant. Transitioning into civilian life, Kimberly pursued a career in training and leadership development, working across multiple industries, from technology rollouts to government initiatives. She played a pivotal role in the 2010 Census Project, leading the development of training materials for the first-ever digital data collection. Her work with the Rochester Schools Modernization Program led to the creation of an innovative small business training initiative, impacting local entrepreneurs and serving as a model for other municipalities. Simultaneously, she explored entrepreneurship, running event planning and photo booth businesses before pivoting to a thriving six-figure training business. Despite professional success, Kimberly faced personal challenges that led to a transformative self-discovery journey. Seeking answers through the VA health system, she was diagnosed with mild depression, which became the catalyst for developing the Journey to Joy Personal Transformation System. This breakthrough allowed her to reclaim her happiness, reinforcing her belief that joy is a powerful force for change. Now, she dedicates her time to helping others break free from limiting beliefs and external dependencies, ensuring they recognize their own potential. A founding member of the Greater Rochester Black Business Alliance and an active board member of ROCEDC, Kimberly is deeply committed to community development. She believes that self-sufficiency and joy are the keys to transformation, a message she amplifies through her training programs, mentorship, and advocacy. Living in a community once defined by industrial success and now marked by economic struggle, she is determined to inspire others to reclaim their power and create the life they desire. Her personal mission remains simple yet profound: to make a positive impact on people she may never meet. Core purpose/passion: Her personal mission remains simple yet profound: to make a positive impact on people she may never meet.

It's Not Your Fault: Structured Psychology is all about you: who you are and why you think, feel, and do the things you do by Rogers Follansbee PhD Amazon.com Structuredpsychology.com Knowing how we're structured is the first step to psychological wellness. It's Not Your Fault opens you up to an entirely new way of thinking about your life, your relationships, and your mental health. If that stack of personal development books and self-help systems has yet to solve your problems, perhaps it's time to understand the cause-and-effect dynamics that exist in all relationships. Learn about how our lives follow the same logical guidelines as existence itself. Once you understand “The Structure” that guides everything in our physical world, you will begin to see what's really going on and be able to achieve your life's goals skillfully and with far less friction. It all starts with your relationships, and finally seeing why we all think, feel, and do the things we do. Understand how our relationships shape us. Our vitality as humans depends entirely on the relationships we establish. How often do we talk about “the company we keep” and how it contributes to our mental strength, self-esteem, career opportunities, and life path? Discover what causes conflict. The feedback we receive from those around us often contradicts "who we are." Start to see how you can combat conflict in your relationships in a constructive way instead of a destructive one. Learn the secret to understanding human nature. Structured Psychology helps you understand the true causes of human behavior. Begin to understand yourself and others better.About the author Rogers Follansbee, PhD, graduated from the Universidad de Navarra (Pamplona, Spain) with a master's degree in philosophy. In 1971, he acquired a master's degree in clinical psychology from the Universidad de Madrid. From 1969 to 1974, during his post-graduate studies at the Universidad de Navarra, he instructed undergraduates in “The History of Psychology” and “Psycho Diagnostics.” He also held graduate seminars where his emerging theory was introduced. In 1974 Rogers successfully defended his dissertation, “La Teoría de la Relacionabilidad,” and graduated Summa Cum Laude.

YOUR PERSONA & PRESENCE MAKE YOU UNFORGETTABLE As a podcaster, you spend countless hours perfecting your content. But are you making your show truly unforgettable? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I reveal why your unique persona and presence are the most important assets you have. These are assets that artificial intelligence or your competition can never copy. When you infuse your content with your personal story and authentic self, you stand out from the endless sea of sameness. It's this magnetism that attracts loyal listeners and turns casual followers into raving fans for your brand. WHY YOUR STORY IS YOUR SUPERPOWER Let's be real: being slightly better or just another "shade of gray" won't set you apart in today's crowded landscape. It's not about being cheaper, having a slicker course, or even a more refined mic setup. What makes people choose you, over and over again, is your story—your origin, your journey, your perspective. Your competition might try to imitate your process, but they'll never replicate your lived experience and genuine voice. In this episode, I break down how icons like Howard Stern, Oprah Winfrey, and Zig Ziglar rose to fame by unapologetically sharing who they are and weaving personal stories into every lesson. STOP TEACHING—START ENTERTAINING Too many podcasters get caught up in cramming more information into each episode. Here's the truth: listeners crave entertainment. Even when they're tuning in to learn, it's the stories and emotions you invoke that keep them coming back. Just think about your favorite teacher—the one who brought lessons to life, not the monotone professor who put the class to sleep. In this episode, I show you how to wrap your valuable content in relatable, audience-focused stories. When you stir emotion and invite your audience into your world, you don't just give them information—you give them an unforgettable experience. DEFINE YOUR BRAND WITH INTENTION Your brand isn't an accident—it's a choice. I walk you through how to identify four to six adjectives that define your podcast persona and ensure every episode supports those characteristics. Are you insightful, quirky, bold, or caring? Structure your content and stories to reinforce these brand traits with consistency and confidence. When you intentionally choose the characteristics your show stands for, you foster trust and recognition in your niche. Just like Gary Vaynerchuk and Mel Robbins attract their tribes with distinct personas, you can create a magnetic brand by sharing your story your way. TAKE THE NEXT STEP TO GREATNESS If you ever wonder why your audience isn't growing, your engagement is flat, or you're not making money with your podcast, the answer is likely simple: you haven't leaned into your story and presence enough. Now is the time to stand out by being more authentic, more entertaining, and more YOU.

In this encore episode, we detail the intestinal mycobiome and the mechanisms by which beneficial microbes aid in regulating opportunistic fungal species: Candida albicans. We discuss Candida overgrowth virulence and how disruptions in microbial balance, immune function, and epithelial integrity impact Candida's pathogenicity. Additionally, we discuss the role of mast cells in the lamina propria, their involvement in mucosal immunity, and how Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) can be exacerbated by fungal dysbiosis / microbial imbalances.Topics: 1. Introduction - The intestinal mycobiome and its role in intestinal health.  - Regulating populations of opportunistic fungal species like Candida albicans.- Mast cell activation syndrome (MCAS) intro.   2. Structure of the Intestinal Barrier- The microbiome and mucus layer: microbes, mucins, antimicrobial peptides, sIgA.- The epithelial monolayer: enterocytes, goblet cells, Paneth cells, enteroendocrine cells…- Tight junction proteins and paracellular transport.- The lamina propria beneath the epithelium: immune cells and more. 3. Candida's Pathogenicity and Barrier Disruption- Exists primarily in its yeast form, regulated by microbial competition, host immune defenses, antifungal peptides.  - Secretory IgA (sIgA) and immune surveillance mechanisms help regulate fungal populations. - Chronic stress, immune suppression, and dysbiosis can deplete sIgA, increasing susceptibility to Candida proliferation.  - Environmental triggers such as immune suppression, microbial depletion, inflammatory cytokines.- Yeast-to-hyphal transition, deeper tissue invasion.  - Secreted aspartyl proteinases (SAPs), phospholipases, candidalysin: epithelial damage.- Pattern recognition receptors (PRRs) and overgrowth detection. 4. Impact of Beneficial Bacteria on Candida Overgrowth  - Beneficial bacteria compete with Candida for nutrients and epithelial adhesion sites.  - Short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) produced by beneficial bacteria.- Depletion of beneficial bacteria removes ecological resistance, allowing Candida to proliferate unchecked.   5. Mast Cells in the Lamina Propria and Their Role in Intestinal Immunity- Mast cell location - Upon activation, mast cells release histamine, cytokines, proteases, and more that regulate gut immune responses.  - Histamine can increase gut permeability and modulate local immune activation.  - Tryptase and chymase. - Pro-inflammatory cytokines.  6. Mast Cell Activation Syndrome (MCAS) - Mast cell hyperactivation.- Environmental triggers, toxins, chronic infections, and stress. - Candida overgrowth and mast cell activation.- Addressing microbial imbalances and reducing the body's total microbial, chemical, and toxin burden.- A diverse microbiome.   7. Conclusion- Candida overgrowth and regulation via immune defenses and beneficial bacterial competition.- MCAS, root cause approach.Get Chloe's Book Today!

Email us at podcast@pursueGOD.org.Donate Now --How the Bible WorksToday we continue our How Stuff Works series with a topic that's both deeply theological and intensely practical: How the Bible Works. For Christians, the Bible is more than just a religious book—it's the inspired Word of God. But where did it come from? How is it structured? And how do we read it in a way that transforms our lives?These are big questions, and this summary explores three essential truths that come from our Bible Basics series:1. Where Did We Get the Bible?The Bible didn't fall from the sky, nor was it just a random collection of human wisdom. Scripture teaches that the Bible was inspired by the Holy Spirit.2 Timothy 3:16 (NLT) “All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right.”“Inspired” literally means “God-breathed.” That means the words of the Bible carry the very breath of God, and He speaks to us through its pages.Mark 12:36 (NLT) “For David himself, speaking under the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, said…”Jesus affirmed the divine origin of the Old Testament scriptures. The human authors wrote using their own style and voice, but were guided by the Spirit of God.2 Peter 1:20-21 (NLT) “No prophecy in Scripture ever came from the prophet's own understanding... those prophets were moved by the Holy Spirit, and they spoke from God.”Verbal plenary inspiration means that the very words (verbal) and all parts (plenary) of Scripture are inspired by God. Though the original manuscripts were written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, God has preserved His message through faithful transmission and translation.Translation Types:Word-for-Word (Formal): ESV, NASBThought-for-Thought (Dynamic): NIV, NLTWhile only the original manuscripts are infallible, modern translations are trustworthy because of careful preservation, thousands of manuscripts, and the sovereignty of God.2. What Is the Structure of the Bible?The Bible is one book made up of 66 individual books, divided into two testaments:Old Testament (39 Books): Written over 1,000 years and originally part of the Hebrew Bible, it includes:Law (Genesis–Deuteronomy)History (Joshua–Esther)Wisdom/Poetry (Job–Song of...

In this podcast episode, Karen Fabian, a seasoned yoga teacher with over 22 years of experience, discusses imposter syndrome and its impact on yoga instructors. She describes imposter syndrome as a feeling of inadequacy or self-doubt, where teachers feel they are "faking it" or not qualified enough, despite their training and expertise. This often stems from the pressure of public speaking, the deep responsibility of guiding students through a practice rooted in ancient traditions, and personal limiting beliefs tied to past experiences. Karen emphasizes the importance of detachment from external validation to build confidence, advocating for a consistent teaching approach, such as using a signature sequence, to reduce anxiety and foster authenticity. She shares practical strategies, like grounding exercises and pre-class breathing, to manage nerves and encourages teachers to reflect on their teaching experiences to find balance and authenticity. --Yoga teacher, Podcast Host, Author and Founder of Bare Bones Yoga, Karen Fabian has a background in rehabilitative medicine and healthcare. Her passion for anatomy and human movement is behind all she does, including her work with yoga teachers inside her program, The Yoga Anatomy Blueprint Learning Program.

Is your growing business starting to feel chaotic? Are crucial tasks slipping through the cracks? In this episode, you will learn the telltale signs of a business struggling to transition from relationship-centric to process-driven operations and why these surprising challenges often emerge around the 150-employee mark.   We unpack the "Dunbar effect" and why maintaining strong relationships becomes exponentially harder as your team expands. We break down the common symptoms like role confusion, overwhelmed managers, a shifting culture, and a breakdown in accountability.    You will understand why this seemingly arbitrary number can be a critical turning point and what proactive steps you can take to navigate this growth phase successfully.    Takeaways   Companies often struggle with growth around 150 employees. The Dunbar effect explains relationship challenges in larger teams. Role confusion can lead to mistakes and inefficiencies. Managers may become bottlenecks in decision-making. Accountability diminishes as organizations grow. Clear processes are essential to prevent things falling through the cracks. Company culture shifts as teams grow larger. Silos can form, leading to a lack of collaboration. Intentionality is required to manage growth effectively.

Are you pulling your hair out trying to motivate your kids? Do chores feel like a constant battle in your house? Is homework a never-ending saga of lollygagging and procrastination for you too? If so, then this episode of The Dad Edge is definitely for you. I'm revisiting one of our most popular Q&A sessions because it's packed with the kind of crowdsourced wisdom that can really help us crack the code on kid motivation. This Q&A was originally recorded a couple of years back, but the principles we shared then are still incredibly relevant today. I wanted to bring this one back because I'm getting ready to launch my fifth book, Pursuit of Legendary Fatherhood. It's been a journey getting this book out, and some of the core ideas I've been exploring were definitely in the air during this original Q&A. And hey, if your marriage could use a boost too, check out: www.thedadedge.com/extraordinary-marriage In this deep dive into real-life parenting strategies, you and I, along with the guys from The Dad Edge Alliance, explore: Creating Connection Through Ownership and Structure: Practical ways to foster responsibility in your kids. Modeling Responsibility and Emotional Intelligence: How your own actions speak volumes at home. Gamifying Contributions and Chores: Making tasks engaging and less of a battle. The Balance Between Incentives and Expectations: Finding the right approach to motivation. Proactive Communication and Family Agreements: Eliminating power struggles before they begin. Later in the session, the conversation shifts to the bedrock of the family: Emotional Connection and Marriage: The vital role of intentional communication. Small Shifts, Big Impact: How subtle changes in posture can build psychological safety in your most important relationships. While some specific examples regarding children's ages or routines might be from the past, the core principles and actionable takeaways shared in this Q&A remain incredibly valuable for fathers navigating the daily challenges of raising motivated and responsible kids, and building a strong family foundation. This special "WINSday" edition is all about celebrating our members' successes and sharing the valuable lessons they've learned on their journey to becoming better dads.
