Mike runs a solo Coffee Time Kicks episode and sits down with a friend of the show, Jason Faustino, Senior Director of Energy at Saucony. Fresh off the brand's Paris preview, Jason breaks down how Saucony builds its creative world: why knowing exactly who you are beats chasing anyone else, how collaborations really get vetted (it comes down to chemistry and gut), and how a small team stays two years out on product while making it look effortless.They get into the Westside Gun partnership and the passing of the torch from Jae Tips, why Jason sees himself as working for the artists as much as the brand, the Ride 1 revival, the slow-burn rise of the Guide 7, and a Crystal Caves colorway coming back on the Triumph 4. If you want to understand what makes Saucony tick right now, this is the one.In this episode:Why Saucony leans all the way into its own identityHow collabs actually get vetted, and why it comes down to a feelingThe Westside Gun and Jae Tips storyProtecting artistic freedom inside a corporate structureThe two-years-out product development timelineRide 1, Guide 7, Omni 9, and the Crystal Caves Triumph 4Why in-person community still beats the transactional stuffFollow Jason on Instagram @um.jf13.

On January 6th, 1941, President Franklin D. Roosevelt stood before Congress and outlined four essential freedoms that every human being deserves. He wasn't talking about money. He was talking about human dignity.But in this episode, CFP® and fiduciary advisor David Chudyk reveals what those four freedoms look like when applied to wealth — and why the people who are truly, genuinely financially free have quietly built their own version of all four.This isn't a debt payoff episode. This isn't a cut-your-lattes episode. This is for business owners, high earners, and serious wealth builders who want to understand what financial freedom actually looks like — and what it takes to build every layer of it.THE FOUR FREEDOMS OF THE FINANCIALLY FREEFreedom #1 — From Fear: The Floor You've eliminated the catastrophic scenarios. For business owners, that means de-risking concentration — stop having 100% of your net worth tied up in one illiquid, uninsured asset. For accumulators, it means building a guaranteed income floor you literally cannot fall through: a stream of income that covers your non-negotiables no matter what the market does. When you stop making fear-based decisions, that alone is worth more than almost any investment return.Freedom #2 — From Want: The Clarity This one surprises people. David has sat across from clients with seven-figure portfolios who are still afraid — and that's not a math problem, it's a clarity problem. Freedom from want means knowing your real number, stress-testing it honestly, and replacing anxiety with math-backed confidence. The business owner who knows their exit number can finally evaluate a deal clearly. The accumulator who runs the honest projections stops losing sleep.Freedom #3 — Of Time: The Calendar The most underrated freedom. Wealth that doesn't buy back your time isn't freedom — it's a bigger cage. The goal isn't retirement. The goal is optionality: you work because you want to, not because the machine stops if you step away. This is where the Freedom Point concept lives — that threshold where work becomes a choice, not a sentence. And you don't have to be a business owner to get there.Freedom #4 — For Legacy: The Story Your wealth is a form of speech. It tells a story about what you valued, who you loved, and what mattered. Most estate plans are set-it-and-forget-it. Freedom for legacy means you've written the story intentionally — before someone else writes it for you by default. For business owners, it starts even before the estate plan: it starts with how you exit.WHAT YOU'LL WALK AWAY WITHA completely new definition of financial freedom — not a number, but a four-layer structureThe floor framework for eliminating fear-based financial decisionsWhy high earners with seven-figure portfolios still feel anxious — and the fixHow non-business owners reach the Freedom Point tooWhat intentional legacy planning actually looks like — starting todayEPISODE TIMESTAMPS0:00 — Cold Open: Star-Spangled Banner & FDR's Four Freedoms 2:00 — Reframing financial freedom for high earners and business owners 5:00 — Freedom #1: From Fear — The Floor 11:00 — Freedom #2: From Want — The Clarity 16:00 — Freedom #3: Of Time — The Calendar & The Freedom Point 21:00 — Freedom #4: For Legacy — The Story 25:00 — Stacking All Four & The CloseRESOURCES & NEXT STEPSBook a free 20-minute Vision Call: weeklywealthpodcast.com/vision Figure out which of the four freedoms you're still building — and what comes next.

What if the blood vessels in your brain aren't just collateral damage in Alzheimer's disease, but part of the cause?Dr. Rachel Bennett, associate professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, is challenging one of the field's longest-held assumptions. In this episode, she joins host Deborah Westfall to break down her groundbreaking research on the relationship between tau pathology and vascular dysfunction, and why the future of Alzheimer's science may look nothing like what we expect today.What You'll Learn in This EpisodeWhy vascular changes in Alzheimer's disease were historically treated as secondary damage, and why that thinking is shiftingHow Dr. Bennett's lab discovered that tau pathology alone can drive abnormal changes in blood vessel structureThe thick-tissue imaging technique that revealed something thin slides had been missing for decadesWhat 47 meters of blood vessels in a single brain fold tells us about the scale of this problemWhy the field may be drastically underestimating the number of distinct Alzheimer's disease subtypesHow AI and spatial transcriptomics are accelerating discoveries that would have taken years under traditional funding timelinesThe critical role of philanthropic funding for early-career researchers, and why smaller, faster grants can outperform traditional NIH timelinesAbout Dr. Rachel BennettDr. Rachel Bennett is an associate professor at Massachusetts General Hospital and Harvard Medical School, and a 2024 and 2025 Toffler Scholar. She runs the Bennett Alz Lab, which focuses on vascular contributions to Alzheimer's disease using cutting-edge imaging techniques including light sheet microscopy, in vivo two-photon microscopy, and spatial transcriptomics. She completed her PhD at Washington University in St. Louis studying traumatic brain injury and microglia, and her postdoctoral training in the lab of Dr. Bradley Hyman at MGH.Resources and LinksBennett Alz Lab: bennettallzlab.comConnect with Dr. Bennett on LinkedInKaren Toffler Charitable Trust: karrentoffler.orgMassachusetts Alzheimer's Disease Research Center (Massachusetts ADRC)Research referenced: Acta Neuropathologica (tau and vascular accumulation study)If this episode opened your eyes to a new side of Alzheimer's research, please leave a review on Apple Podcasts or Spotify.

Questions? Thoughts? Send a Text to The Optometry Money Podcast! We'll answer your question on the show.Episode SummaryMost practice owners spend close to two decades building their business — and too often only a few months planning how they exit it. That imbalance shows up in the outcomes.This episode kicks off a new series on planning for the sale of your practice, built around five questions worth answering long before a sale shows up on your calendar. We start with the first and most important one: not "what is my practice worth?" but "what does this sale actually need to do for my retirement to work?"Because those are two completely different questions — and the gap between what you assume the practice is worth and what you actually need it to do is where a lot of the regret lives. We walk through why your retirement gap sets the floor for every other exit decision, how to actually build that number, and why the earlier you start, the more flexibility you'll have on your way out.What You'll LearnThe five questions to answer when planning to exit your practice (and why this one comes first)Why your practice valuation only matters in relation to your retirement gapHow two identical practices can lead to two completely different sale strategiesWhy earlier owners have far more flexibility — and how to "pre-fund" your future buyoutHow to build your retirement gap: lifestyle spending, guaranteed income, existing assets, and the gap that remainsHow that gap becomes your negotiating floor — shaping timeline, buyer type, and payment structureThe what-if scenarios worth testing before you ever sellKey Takeaways for OptometristsYour practice valuation is only meaningful in context. The number that actually matters is the gap between what you've already built outside the practice and what your retirement plan needs to succeed. Until you know that gap, every conversation about price, structure, and buyer is theoretical — you have nothing to measure an offer against.Figure out that number first, and it becomes your negotiating floor. It tells you whether you can wait for the right buyer, whether you can sell to an associate at a friendly price or need to chase a higher multiple, and whether work is truly optional afterward. Too many owners step into a sale unsure of what their family actually needs — and let the deal determine their retirement plan rather than the other way around.Resources for OptometristsPodcast Ep 160: How to Maximize Your Optometry Practice Value Before You Sell with Erich MatteiPodcast Ep 50: Guide to Due Diligence on Practice Purchases with Erich MatteiPodcast Ep 80: Intro to Optometry Practice Valuations with Erich MatteiPodcast Ep 70: Financial Planning Considerations for Owners of Established Optometry PracticesWant a more proactive approach to your planning?You can schedule a no-commitment introductory call to discuss what's on your mind financially and learn how we help optometrists navigate those same decisions nationwide.
In this episode, Amy sits down with Deborah Santana—author, philanthropist, and lifelong spiritual practitioner—for a conversation that explores what it means to live from inner sovereignty.While many may recognize her through her 34-year marriage to Carlos Santana, this conversation clarifies something more essential: Deborah Santana has lived a deeply self-directed life shaped by spiritual inquiry, service, and the willingness to begin again.Her memoir, Loving the Fire, becomes the thread through which we explore transformation—not as an abstract idea, but as a lived experience of loss, identity shift, and conscious rebuilding.Key Themes Explored1. Early Life and the Roots of Inner StrengthDeborah reflects on her upbringing in San Francisco, shaped by a family that quietly modeled independence and devotion.Her father, Saunders King, was a respected musician who chose presence over fame—offering an early model of values rooted in family rather than recognition.Her childhood was also grounded in spiritual diversity, moving between Pentecostal, Lutheran, and contemplative spaces. This early exposure created a foundation of spiritual curiosity that would later evolve into a lifelong meditation practice.2. Identity, Culture, and AwarenessDeborah shares her experience growing up in a multicultural environment, where belonging felt natural—until moments of racism revealed deeper social realities.These experiences did not define her, but they did shape her awareness. Over time, they became part of the “fire” she would learn to walk through rather than avoid.3. The Fire: Loss, Transition, and ReinventionA central moment in Deborah's life—and in this conversation—is her decision to leave a long-term marriage and step into the unknown.She describes this period with clarity:A sudden shift from a full, externally defined life into silenceThe loss of roles, identity, and structureThe necessity of sitting with herself, without distractionRather than rushing to rebuild, she allowed a period of stillness:Studying the work of Wayne Dyer and Thich Nhat HanhEngaging in self-inquiry through Al-Anon principlesReturning to yoga and meditation as stabilizing practicesThis was not framed as breakdown, but as disassembly for the purpose of reorganization.4. Loving the Fire: A Different Relationship to ChallengeThe central teaching of Deborah's memoir is simple, but not easy:Life is not happening to us—it is happening for us.She describes fire not as destruction, but as a condition for renewal. Like a forest that regenerates after burning, human life can reorganize into something more aligned—if we stay present through the process.This reflects a core principle in yoga therapy:We do not eliminate discomfortWe change our relationship to itWe allow it to inform growth5. Spiritual Practice as a Stabilizing ForceDeborah has maintained a meditation practice since her early twenties. During times of transition, this inner relationship became her anchor.She describes moments of:Deep peace in solitudeHeightened perception in natureA sense of connection beyond identityThese are not framed as extraordinary experiences, but as natural outcomes when external roles fall away and attention returns inward.6. Rebuilding with IntentionFollowing this period of reflection, Deborah began to rebuild her life in alignment with her values:Founded the nonprofit Do A Little, inspired by Desmond TutuProduced documentary films to support global humanitarian effortsWorked with organizations connected to Nelson MandelaBecame a founding donor of the Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and CultureHer work consistently centers on women, girls, and collective well-being.7. Education and Lifelong LearningIn her 50s, Deborah pursued a master's degree in Women's Spirituality at the California Institute of Integral Studies.This experience reflected a pattern throughout her life:Learning as a form of self-developmentIntegrating intellect with lived experienceValuing wisdom traditions alongside modern inquiry8. Global Perspective and HumilityTravel—particularly to Africa—played a significant role in reshaping her worldview.She describes:A felt sense of humanity's originsA reorientation away from individual-centered thinkingA deep respect for cultural wisdom beyond the U.S. lensThis aligns with a therapeutic perspective: healing often expands when we move beyond our habitual frame of reference.9. Current Work: Courage and EmpathyDeborah is currently involved in developing the Courage Museum in San Francisco, a project focused on:Understanding violence as a learned behaviorTeaching empathy as a skillCreating immersive experiences like “Empathy Mirrors,” where individuals witness and feel others' lived experiencesThe intention is clear: violence can be unlearned, and empathy can be cultivated.Clinical and Philosophical ReflectionsThis conversation offers several points of integration for yoga therapists and healthcare providers:Transformation often begins with disruption of identityStillness and reflection are not passive—they are reorganizing forcesSpiritual practice provides continuity when external roles dissolveGrowth requires both self-inquiry and self-responsibilityMeaning emerges not by avoiding difficulty, but by engaging it with awarenessClosing ReflectionDeborah Santana's life illustrates a steady principle:We are not defined by our roles, relationships, or accomplishments. When those fall away, what remains is the foundation we build from.Her story is not about reinvention as performance. It is about returning to something more essential—and choosing, from that place, how to live.Learn MoreLoving the Fire by Deborah SantanaAvailable via her website and major booksellersUpcoming events and book tour information available online

The narrative cleverly shifts through timelines, gradually revealing the truth behind what happened .What we discuss in this episodeJamie brings his deep maritime knowledge to the conversation, helping unpack the realism behind the show and the real-life events that inspired it.Expect discussion on:The accuracy of the ship's portrayal and conditions onboardThe political and institutional pressures surrounding the disasterThemes of accountability, secrecy, and systemic failureThe emotional impact on victims, families, and investigatorsHow the series builds tension across its five-episode structureThe conversation also explores how the show handles complex topics like blame and cover-ups, with particular attention to how institutions may shift responsibility rather than confront systemic issues .Why this series stands outHeweliusz isn't just another disaster drama—it's a slow-burn investigation into truth, responsibility, and memory. The series balances technical realism with emotional storytelling, making it both informative and deeply affecting.Jamie highlights how the show captures the reality of maritime disasters, from ship conditions to decision-making under pressure, while also pointing listeners to further resources for a deeper understanding of the tragedy.About our guest: Jamie – Old Shipping LinesJamie runs the Old Shipping Lines YouTube channel, where he explores maritime history, ship disasters, and detailed breakdowns of real-world incidents.

What does it truly mean to rest — not for an hour, not for a day, but through life itself?In this episode, Jess explores the Sovereign Woman: the woman who has built her own ground, owns her own structures, and has activated the inner masculine so completely that the feminine within her can finally, deeply relax.This is the conversation that sits at the intersection of Jungian individuation, money energetics, and what it actually looks like to build a business from sovereignty rather than survival.In this episode:Why borrowed support — from a job, a marriage, a structure you don't own — always carries a hidden cost, and what true financial sovereignty really looks likeThe inner masculine as the structural precondition for feminine rest: how to activate it without hardening, losing your softness, or becoming the lone islandThe compounding principle and why the feminine's desire for immediacy and relational feedback is the exact pattern that keeps women from building lasting wealthThe biblical widow with one jar of oil — and what her story reveals about vessels, closed doors, and creating enough ground that the money keeps pouringWhy lottery winners and top-level athletes go bankrupt at startling rates, and what Mike Tyson's $300 million has to do with your membership structureThe slow quantum leap: what it looks like to build wealth across 10, 20, 30 years — for yourself, your children, your grandchildrenThe example Jess returns to throughout: a membership container — recurring, owned, and structured — as the vessel that allows a woman to rest even when she isn't showing up.

Dr Jeffrey Arthurs joins Mike Neglia for a rich and encouraging conversation about preaching, courage, and the freedom that comes from fearing God rather than fearing people.The discussionincludes a striking quotation from Puritan preacher William Gurnall:"We fear men so much because we fear God so little. One fear cures the other."That idea opens the door to a wide ranging conversation about the fear of man in ministry and how a deeper awareness of God reshapes the way we preach, lead, and serve.Jeffrey Arthurs shares insights from decades of preaching, teaching, and mentoring preachers. Along the way he offers practical wisdom on understanding the people we preach to, communicating with clarity and specificity, and learning how different biblical genres should shape the way we proclaim Scripture.In this conversation you will hear about:The difference between fear of man and fear of the Lord in ministryWhy specificity makes preaching more powerfulThe importance of understanding both the biblical context and the congregational contextHaddon Robinson's Subject/Complement approach to sermon structureThe difference between feedback and feedforward when helping preachers growThe hidden hope inside biblical lamentWhy different literary genres in Scripture should influence our preaching styleWhether you are a seasoned preacher, a young Bible teacher, or someone who simply wants to communicate Scripture more clearly, this conversation is full of thoughtful encouragement and practical insight.About Jeffrey ArthursJeffrey D. Arthurs is Professor of Preaching and Communication at Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary in South Hamilton, Massachusetts. His passion is helping people proclaim the Word of God with clarity, faithfulness, and creativity.His books include Preaching with Variety, Devote Yourself to the Public Reading of Scripture, and Preaching as Reminding.

Now as Creative Director of Gap Inc., overseeing Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic, and Athleta, Zac shares how he's bringing his signature sense of “fashiontainment” to a global scale.From viral cultural moments to designer collaborations like Old Navy x Christopher John Rogers, we discuss how fashion is shifting—from exclusivity to accessibility—and what it takes to build a brand that resonates in today's world.Plus, Zac shares his go-to styling tips, from the one piece that instantly elevates your jeans to why every woman needs her own version of the perfect little black dress.

Today we're talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet.The popular (mis)perception of ketoWe hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do. The truth, however, is that there is no accountability to the definition of what keto is. About 90% of all the information comes from marketers who have never done keto before, and what they think they know about it is probably wrong. The definition of ketoKetosis gets gauged by measuring your ketones with a keto meter. So the definition of what keto is can only be determined by whether or not you are in ketosis while you are on it.The start of the ketogenic dietThe ketogenic diet started in 1925. The term ketogenic diet was coined in around 1921 by William Wilder in response to the previous decades of fasting for diabetes and other conditions.The term ‘ketogenic diet'The ketogenic diet was used strictly for epilepsy, mostly for pediatric epilepsy. The term ‘ketogenic diet' came about because it is a diet that causes people to produce ketones that occur when people are fasting.A new applicationIn the past, the ketogenic diet was only about epilepsy, so the application of keto to diabetes or weight loss is very new. Certain things need to be put in place for you to achieve success with it, and for your body to make the necessary changes.No studiesUsing keto for weight loss is very new, and there are no studies to prove that keto is effective for weight loss.The common-sense approachThe common-sense approach to keto and weight loss lies in gaining a deeper understanding of how various foods affect the body.Losing weightTo effectively lose weight, you have to move away from carbs. And you have to be kind to your body while doing that, so you cannot do it quickly. It has to be a gradual process.The secretThe secret of losing weight on the ketogenic diet is tracking. Education is also vital.The 1800sIf you look at menus from the 1800s, you will see that they are 90% protein, with very few vegetables.Misinformation about what you should be eatingThere is not much data available currently to inform people about what they should be eating. And a lot of the available information is misinforming people.Facebook groupsWithin Facebook groups, there is migration and an evolution towards a low carbohydrate (and eventually no carbohydrates) and a higher protein diet.ProteinYou cannot overeat protein, in the whole food sense, by itself as you could with carbohydrates, because you would get too full.MacrosWhen dealing with the categories of the macros of fat, carbohydrate, and protein as whole food areas, you have to remove the grains and root vegetables from the carbohydrate category. Not because they are unhealthy, but rather because they have very high sugar content.Changing your diet in stagesIf you want to lose weight, your body needs to adapt to a high protein and a low or no carbohydrate diet. That means that you have to change your diet slowly, in various stages.StructureThe secret to losing weight with a keto diet lies in tracking your diet, educating yourself, being prepared to make changes, and having a structure.Links:Facebook Group about Keto:https://www.facebook.com/groups/ketonaturopath/BLOG: https://ketonaturopath.com/Pinterest: https://www.pinterest.com/ketonaturopathYouTube channelwww.youtube.com/ketonaturopathJudi's NEW cooking channelKeto Naturopath Kitchenhttps://www.youtube.com/c/KetoNaturopathKitchen
What happens when your company grows faster than your ability to lead it? In this episode, Cam and Otis sit down with Rajesh Nagjee, a CEO mentor and self-described "business physicist" who helps scale-stage founders solve what he calls the Velocity Crisis—the widening gap between sophisticated business systems and a CEO's capacity to run them effectively.You built a Ferrari: sophisticated systems, frameworks, and infrastructure. But no one upgraded your inner operating system," Rajesh explains. Drawing on 30 years of experience across 15 countries and inspired by Tim Gallwey's Inner Game principles, he reframes leadership through a powerful equation: Scaling = Systems (Outer Game) minus Interference (Inner Game).What makes this conversation particularly compelling is Rajesh's unflinching approach to CEO development. From telling fear-based founders "there's no future for you” to advocating for "fixed outcome, variable process" frameworks, he challenges conventional wisdom about control, values, and leadership. His signature CEO Freedom OS framework, including Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS, has helped clients like Amex KSA and Nielsen MEA achieve returns exceeding 500%.Whether you're a founder feeling overwhelmed by growth, a CEO struggling to delegate effectively, or a leader interested in building decision maturity within your team, Rajesh's systems-based approach offers a roadmap for scaling sustainably without becoming the bottleneck.More About Rajesh:Rajesh Nagjee is a CEO mentor and business physicist who helps scale-stage founders solve what he calls the Velocity Crisis, the widening gap between a company's systems and a CEO's capacity to run them at scale. You built a Ferrari: sophisticated systems, frameworks, and infrastructure. But no one upgraded your inner operating system. As growth accelerates, you become the bottleneck, driving a supercar with sedan instincts. Drawing on 30 years of experience across 15 countries, Rajesh reframes leadership through a systems lens inspired by Tim Gallwey's Inner Game: Scaling = Systems (Outer Game) minus Interference (Inner Game). His signature framework, CEO Freedom OS, includes four interlocking components: Command Center OS, Delegation OS, Client Magnet OS, and Personal Brand OS. Clients such as Amex KSA, Nielsen MEA, and BNI Middle East have used it to reduce overwhelm, build decision maturity, and scale sustainably with returns exceeding 500%.Chapter Times and Titles:Introduction: The Business Physicist [00:00 - 05:30]Welcome and meet Rajesh NagjeeWhat is a "business physicist"?The Velocity Crisis: when systems outpace leadership capacitySetting up the Ferrari metaphor"You Built a Ferrari, But Nobody Upgraded Your OS" [05:30 - 12:44]The gap between sophisticated systems and the CEO's capacityWhy founders become bottlenecks at scaleThe Inner Game vs. Outer Game frameworkScaling = Systems minus InterferenceFixed Outcome, Variable Process [12:44 - 18:40]The choice: fixed process/variable outcome vs. fixed outcome/variable process.

Sponsored by Pepperstone. Most traders don't lose because they're wrong on direction… They lose because they enter too late. They wait for confirmation. They wait to feel safe. And by the time they pull the trigger… The trade is already broken. In this episode, I break down why entry location is one of the most overlooked edges in trading… and how a simple idea, buying on red and selling on green, can dramatically improve your risk-reward. We cover: Why waiting often destroys trade structureThe difference between buying pullbacks vs chasing breakoutsHow volatility contraction and expansion impact your edgeWhy better entries lead to better trades (even with the same idea) If you find yourself being right on direction a lot… but not getting the results. This one will hit home.
Most compensation plans don't fail because they're complicated—they fail because they're unclear.If you can't name the exact behavior your comp plan is designed to drive, you're not incentivizing performance—you're creating confusion and misalignment.In this episode, I break down the one question that cuts through all of it—and why getting this right changes how your team actually shows up day to day.If you want a comp plan that drives the behaviors you actually need (not just outcomes you hope for), this episode will show you where to start.What You'll Learn In This EpisodeWhy every comp plan is fundamentally a behavior-shaping system—not a payment structureThe hidden misalignment created when you pay people on outcomes they don't controlHow to identify the specific actions that actually move your business forward//Welcome to The Ray J.

There's a Lit song that's been stuck in my head for weeks: "My Own Worst Enemy." And it's the perfect metaphor for my entire solo journey.I've blocked myself at every stage—consulting, fractional leadership, and now with The Escapee Collective. Not intentionally, but by doing what corporate trained me to do: overanalyze, overstructure, and wait for perfection before taking action.In this episode, I walk you through the three times I made the same mistake—and what I'm doing differently now.If you're overthinking, over-structuring, or waiting for the "perfect" website, pitch deck, or system before you start—this one's for you.In This Episode:The consulting mistake: Building the perfect website, pitch deck, and pricing before having a single conversation with a client (and why it led to zero wins)The fractional repeat: Doing the EXACT same thing again—new methodology, new deck, same lack of resultsThe Escapee Collective lesson: How TikTok took off with zero plan, then how I complicated it again with masterminds, classes, and modules—and why I had to simplifyWhy corporate trains us backwards: Plan first, act second works in corporate—but solo requires the oppositeWhat actually works: Conversations, experimentation, messy wins FIRST—then structureThe 79% reality: Why most burned-out corporate workers won't take action (and how to be in the 35% who do)How to catch yourself: Recognizing when you're building systems before you have proofKey Takeaway:Action beats planning. Momentum beats perfection. Get early wins first—THEN build the structure around what's working.

In the early days, culture just exists. The founder's in the building. Decisions are fast. Everyone knows why the business exists and how things get done. It's messy, but it works. But then the brand grows. Headcount increases. Layers appear. Process sneaks in. Suddenly, the thing that once felt like an advantage starts to feel fragile. Not broken, just thinner. Harder to rely on.Today's Playbook pulls together lessons from operators who've been through that exact moment and come out the other side. Not by trying to “protect the vibe”, but by treating culture like infrastructure: something that has to be designed, maintained, and occasionally rebuilt.In today's playbook:Why team culture usually breaks during change, not growthHow to build trust before introducing process and structureThe role of communication rituals in stabilising teams at scaleWhy measuring trust beats chasing engagement scoresHow calm leadership prevents culture from fracturing under pressureUsing team culture as a quality control mechanism as you scaleConnect with EmmaExplore Culture KingsCulture Kings' episodeBirdsnest's episodeThe Body Shop's episodeEcosa's episodeSMS us to request a guest!Support the showWant to level up your ecommerce game?

Send Katie a Text Message!! Choosing a coach is a big decision—especially when your business is already successful, but something still feels heavy. In this episode, I'm pulling back the curtain on what coaching should (and shouldn't) look like for interior designers. I share the mistakes I've made hiring coaches, the lessons I learned the hard way, and the exact criteria I use now—both when I hire support and when designers consider working with me. This isn't about hype, Instagram followers, or quick fixes. It's about clarity, alignment, and making decisions that actually support your life and your business.IN THIS EPISODE:Why you don't need a coach because you're failing—but because your business has outgrown its current structureThe real signs it's time for coaching (and why exhaustion isn't a motivation problem)How fear keeps designers stuck longer than necessary—and why that's often the most expensive choiceWhy coaching isn't about buying information, but about compressed time, perspective, and decision supportWhat I look for when choosing a coach—and why “been there, done that” is a red flagWhy specialization matters more than popularity when it comes to coachingMy honest take on group coaching vs. private coaching once you're past six figuresThe three non-negotiables every designer should use when choosing a coachHow to know if I'm the right coach for you—and just as importantly, if I'm notI see designers wait too long to ask for help, hire the wrong support, or assume coaching “doesn't work” when it was really just the wrong fit. This episode is about giving you clarity—so you can stop second-guessing yourself and start making decisions with confidence, integrity, and intention. Coaching should feel supportive, aligned, and safe—not pressured or performative.If this episode resonates and you're feeling ready to talk things through, I offer a free 15-minute problem-solving session.

Today we're talking about the secret to losing weight correctly. Or the reasons why people tend to fail on what they think of as a ketogenic diet.The popular (mis)perception of ketoWe hear a lot about keto currently, and the popular perception is that there are many experts out there who can tell us what to do. The truth, however, is that there is no accountability to the definition of what keto is. About 90% of all the information comes from marketers who have never done keto before, and what they think they know about it is probably wrong. The definition of ketoKetosis gets gauged by measuring your ketones with a keto meter. So the definition of what keto is can only be determined by whether or not you are in ketosis while you are on it.The start of the ketogenic dietThe ketogenic diet started in 1925. The term ketogenic diet was coined in around 1921 by William Wilder in response to the previous decades of fasting for diabetes and other conditions. The term ‘ketogenic diet'The ketogenic diet was used strictly for epilepsy, mostly for pediatric epilepsy. The term ‘ketogenic diet' came about because it is a diet that causes people to produce ketones that occur when people are fasting.A new applicationIn the past, the ketogenic diet was only about epilepsy, so the application of keto to diabetes or weight loss is very new. Certain things need to be put in place for you to achieve success with it, and for your body to make the necessary changes.No studies Using keto for weight loss is very new, and there are no studies to prove that keto is effective for weight loss.The common-sense approachThe common-sense approach to keto and weight loss lies in gaining a deeper understanding of how various foods affect the body.Losing weightTo effectively lose weight, you have to move away from carbs. And you have to be kind to your body while doing that, so you cannot do it quickly. It has to be a gradual process.The secretThe secret of losing weight on the ketogenic diet is tracking. Education is also vital.The 1800sIf you look at menus from the 1800s, you will see that they are 90% protein, with very few vegetables.Misinformation about what you should be eatingThere is not much data available currently to inform people about what they should be eating. And a lot of the available information is misinforming people. Facebook groups Within Facebook groups, there is migration and an evolution towards a low carbohydrate (and eventually no carbohydrates) and a higher protein diet. ProteinYou cannot overeat protein, in the whole food sense, by itself as you could with carbohydrates, because you would get too full.MacrosWhen dealing with the categories of the macros of fat, carbohydrate, and protein as whole food areas, you have to remove the grains and root vegetables from the carbohydrate category. Not because they are unhealthy, but rather because they have very high sugar content.Changing your diet in stagesIf you want to lose weight, your body needs to adapt to a high protein and a low or no carbohydrate diet. That means that you have to change your diet slowly, in various stages.StructureThe secret to losing weight with a keto diet lies in tracking your diet, educating yourself, being prepared to make changes, and having a structure.

Episode 176:In ‘Every Man In His Humour' Jonson pays a debt to Roman comedy, but also shows us, in an almost fully formed way, his very own style. This is not the biting satire of many of his plays, but something a little gentler in that he is not taking aim at specific people and certainly not at the court, as he was to do later. ‘Every Man in His Humour' is a city comedy with it's large cast of London characters and it is they, as a group, who are Jonson's target on this occasion.

I just got back from a whirlwind trip to Las Vegas where I attended the Acquistion.com Scaling Workshop presented by Alex Hormozi and his team.Definitely not the typical Las Vegas trip, that's for sure! There was no gambling, no clubbing, and no fancy cocktail bars. However, I did get to spend 2 very full days learning from Hormozi's team on whether my business was prepared to scale, how to identify the weak spots, and what the next steps for growth look like.It was an incredible experience, and if you can afford the expense ($5000 USD ticket and flights + hotel) then I'd say go for it. The workshop delivered on ALL fronts and I'm glad I went.The workshop is centered around the concept of ‘scaling' (ex: growing your business with strategy, to the point where you could sell it if you wanted to). And as someone who runs a Marketing Consulting Company (Kelsey Reidl Consulting, Inc.) which is mainly centered around my own intellectual property, I am constantly negotiating with myself on whether I have chosen a sustainable model for my current life goals.I wanted to surround myself with $1 million and $10 million dollar CEO's to observe how they think, how they solve problems, and how they approach opportunity. Even though I knew I would have major imposter syndrome, I knew it was my next step. I also knew that it would push me to become a better, moer well rounded business coach for my clients.So, Viva Las Vegas! Let's do it!In this episode, I'll share:Why I decided to attend Alex Hormozis' eventMy hesitations around leaving my family for the first time since my little guy was born!
