YOU'RE NOT THEIR SAVIOR- What if your client's lack of progress doesn't mean you're doing something wrong? In this episode, we're untangling the false belief that a client's outcome is your responsibility. If you've ever felt pressure to “fix” someone or guilt when results don't show up, this is your permission slip to breathe. You are not the hero of their story—you're the guide. And that role is more than enough. If you've felt the weight of your client's progress on your own shoulders, today's episode is a reminder you need. You'll hear truth, encouragement, and a gentle but clear boundary about what's yours to carry: and what's not. KEY TAKEAWAYS: You are not responsible for your client's outcomes—you are responsible for your coaching process and presence. Progress doesn't always look like action. Holding space and planting seeds is powerful, even if fruit comes later. Releasing false responsibility helps you coach from peace, not pressure. LISTENER CHALLENGE: Take five minutes to reflect on one client success story and write it down. Let it ground you in what's true about your coaching and your impact. Then release anything you've been carrying that was never yours to hold.   Read this in the Life Coach Blog If you need help with this, book a session with me here: https://www.sterlingandstonementoring.com/businesscoaching   Become a Life Coach Figure Out Who to Coach Start Your Online Coaching Business Join the Coaching FB Community —> HERE Find me @coachlauramalone on IG —> HERE Your 5 star review on Apple Podcasts means a ton✨

Building a game is hard. Leading the team to do it well without losing yourself along the way? That's even harder. In this episode, Ben sits down with Melissa Phillips, founder of Games Leadership and a former Head of Studio, to talk about the messy, emotional, and deeply human side of game leadership. From BAFTA boardrooms to indie trenches, Melissa brings a rare blend of psychological insight and real-world experience to one of the most overlooked conversations in game development: what happens when power, pressure, and people collide. They dig into what founders get wrong, why doing “everything right” can still lead to failure, and how today's leaders can navigate burnout, broken systems, and the crushing uncertainty of building something new. You'll hear: Why leadership in games is different and often lonely The hidden cost of scaling a team too fast How power changes you (whether you like it or not) What founders need before they build the next big thing Why we need to talk about failure and what it teaches us What it really means to lead with resilience in an industry built on chaos If you're a founder, leader, or future studio builder, this one's for you.

Are you looking to transform your podcast into a true marketing powerhouse for your business? In this episode of Podcast Talent Coach, I dive into the world of virtual events with the incredible Steve Eriksen, founder of EventRaptor.   VIRTUAL EVENTS: YOUR SECRET PODCAST MARKETING TOOL 00:00 Engage Audience with Your Story 04:22 "Mastering Virtual Event Hosting" 08:32 Building Event Lists with Top Speakers 12:28 "Entrepreneurial Success Through Speaking" 16:44 "Set Deadlines for Accountability" 20:14 Clarity Boosts Sales: Simple Pricing 21:49 "Virtual Summits Drive Audience Engagement" 25:42 Summit Preparation: Key Considerations 30:48 Tailoring Talks for Different Audiences 33:27 Targeted Networking for Real Estate Professionals 35:53 "Service Bundles and Success Guarantees" 38:28 "Nine-Step Rapport-Building Framework" 42:09 Virtual Summits for Lead Conversion 45:46 "Weekly Coaching Invitation"   We reveal exactly how hosting and speaking at summits, masterminds, and online conferences can rapidly grow your email list, attract your ideal clients, and explode your authority in your niche. Virtual events are so much more than just another "networking" opportunity—they're a dynamic growth strategy. On this episode, you'll hear why they offer results no other channel can match.   THE COMPOUND POWER OF VIRTUAL EVENTS If you want leverage, you need to get in front of more people—faster. That's why I'm such a huge advocate of virtual events. When you speak at a summit or online masterminds, you aren't just building rapport with one person at a time. You're leveraging the audience of a host who's vouching for your expertise and putting you directly in front of people already interested in your topic. And when you host your own virtual summit, you don't just add 25 or 50 leads. You're suddenly adding hundreds or even thousands of the right people to your email list, letting you scale your business much more quickly.   AVOIDING COMMON VIRTUAL EVENT MISTAKES Steve Eriksen and I dig deep into what separates successful summits from virtual event disasters. We reveal why keeping things simple—for both your offers and your event organization—is key if you want real results. Steve shares powerful examples of mistakes to avoid, like confusing multi-tiered VIP offers that leave attendees unsure and uncommitted. Instead, you'll learn why clarity and a focused value proposition always win, and how offering a single irresistible option can drive thousands in summit revenue.   FIVE KEY ELEMENTS TO BE SUMMIT-READY You might be wondering: What do you really need to show up and win at a virtual event? Steve Eriksen is the Founder of EventRaptor - the BEST solution for making Virtual Event Management easy! In his previous role as the Chief Technology Officer for Mary Morrissey, a life coach certification organization with an 8-figure revenue, he was responsible for all the tech that went into their events with thousands of attendees. Steve now helps entrepreneurs with their event tech with EventRaptor. Steve breaks down the five-step system every podcasting entrepreneur should have in place. These include a strong lead magnet, a signature talk that plants your expertise in people's minds, a reliable follow-up sequence, an irresistible offer, and a simple sales conversion system. Whether you're hosting or guest-speaking, having this foundation will not only grow your email list but also turn new listeners into long-term clients.   BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS THAT LAST Podcasting and virtual events are about more than downloads and email addresses. They're about building meaningful relationships with your audience and fellow experts. Throughout this episode, I share how consistently showing up (even as a last-minute speaker) builds goodwill in the virtual event space, leading to more invitations, stronger JV partnerships, and more sales. If you're ready to establish trust, deepen engagement, and finally build a platform that delivers impact, this episode will give you the exact blueprint to make that happen.

In today's episode, I tackle one of the most frustrating challenges lawyers face as they move up the ranks in Big Law: how to demonstrate value when you don't have origination credit. I've seen far too many talented attorneys get left out of compensation conversations, passed over for opportunities, or feel stuck because they seemingly rely on others to bring in work—even when they're the ones clients actually trust.  I break down real-world strategies to change how you're perceived inside your firm and with recruiters, even if you're not the billing or relationship partner on paper. I also walk through how to make a compelling lateral case without a traditional book of business and how to think long-term about origination in a way that keeps your options open and your standing strong. At a Glance:  00:00 Introduction and why origination or billing credit is a key challenge for BigLaw partners 01:20 The importance of finding a way through the origination credit problem 03:04 What to say when firm leadership questions your contribution 04:05 How to revive slowing client relationships and demonstrate business impact 06:15 When leadership doesn't see the full picture, and how to correct the record 06:56 Making a lateral move without a traditional book of business 07:36 The three strongest arguments for portable work without official billing credit 09:26 How to pitch yourself when someone else controls all client credit 10:02 The reality of working with a “credit hog” partner and what to do about it 11:08 Why high-value work still counts, even if your name isn't on the origination line 12:16 Building your value narrative for your current or next firm 12:57 Final thoughts and where to find more career resources Rate, Review, & Follow on Apple Podcasts & Spotify Do you enjoy listening to Big Law Life?  Please consider rating and reviewing the show!

In this episode of Great Practice, Great Life®, we flip the script and put thought leader Steve Riley in the guest seat to answer a powerful question: What does it really take to start or grow a law practice in 2025 while staying true to your vision, your values, and your well-being? Guest host Glenn Gutek and Steve explore the dynamic and ever-evolving landscape of the legal profession, discussing how rapid changes in technology, politics, and economics contribute to the anxiety and stress attorneys face today. Steve shares insights on how lawyers can maintain a healthy balance between their professional commitments and personal well-being. He emphasizes the importance of navigating these challenges while maintaining a clear vision. Glenn and Steve's conversation also explores the role of vision protection in achieving greatness. It's easy to lose sight of one's aspirations amidst the daily grind, but they emphasize the importance of nurturing one's vision and legacy through strategic action. The fast-paced world, full of social media distractions, requires focused attention and control over where we direct our energy. Steve addresses the detrimental effects of “hurry sickness.” He stresses the importance of pursuing meaningful visions, encouraging attorneys not to settle for mediocrity and to maintain high standards in both their personal and professional lives. As we navigate the influence of AI on the legal profession, we discuss its impact on traditional business models and billing practices. AI offers efficiencies that challenge the billable hour model, compelling law firms to reassess how they provide value to clients. Steve discusses the trend toward hyper-niching, where attorneys can specialize in highly specific subspecialties, enhancing their practice with AI-driven tools. This episode provides invaluable guidance for lawyers seeking to adapt and thrive amidst the changing legal landscape, making it a must-listen for anyone invested in the future of legal practice.

In the winter of 1817, a caravan of half-starved Swabians crossed through miles of frozen forests to find their promised land: Ohio. In accordance with their egalitarian ethos and inspired by apocalyptic prophecy, these men and women rejected private ownership and held all things in common. This radical commune, which they called Zoar, would be the most successful intentional community in American history and one of the most enduring socialist experiments, lasting several years longer than even the Soviet Union.Gladio Free Europe's Ohio correspondent Jern (@realJernfer) returns for another stirring story of the Buckeye state. Founded by Pietist refugees from the German state of Wurttemberg, Zoar put into practice the same kinds of radical ideas discussed previously among the Anabaptists, Quakers, and Shakers. Unlike most other communes, including Robert Owen's enlightenment dream of New Harmony, Zoar was stable and prosperous. Succeeding where so many others failed, the commune held together across multiple generations and even developed an early industrial economy. It attracted the envy and admiration of many other communities, including the controversial free-love society of Oneida.Zoar saw itself as a refugee from the sinful and venal world outside, taking its name from the town that sheltered the Biblical Lot after the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Yet the community's influence over Ohio trade and finance meant the outside world could not be kept away. Ultimately, Zoar would be a victim of its own success, as its wealthy residents decided to dissolve the commune and divvy up their belongings into private hands. Despite ultimately failing in its mission to secede from the world of material things, Zoar is an inspiring story of what it looks like to build the New Moral World. And although its founders were sectarian socialists from the Holy Roman Empire, who spoke little English and had even less interest in the broader national project, the undaunted ambition of Zoar makes this small commune a quintessential chapter of American history.

Overcoming fear, uncertainty, and doubt is critical to succeeding as a solopreneur. Use techniques like "name it and tame it" to identify obstacles and develop solutions. 2.

In this week's episode, both of our storytellers share tales of persistence and beating the odds in order to pursue their scientific dreams. Part 1: Determined to become an academic, Rajyashree Sen must take on a broken system to secure a spot in a PhD program in Vienna. Part 2: Josh Barber dreams of studying fish, but when his father goes to jail and his mother is diagnosed with breast cancer, he's left to care for his nine younger siblings. Rajyashree Sen is a neuroscientist and postdoctoral researcher at Columbia University. She holds a PhD in neuroscience and molecular biology from the University of Vienna (Austria), and a masters degree in Biotechnology from the University of Hyderabad (India). As a graduate student with Dr. Barry Dickson, Dr. Sen dissected the neuronal pathways for evasive walking in fruit-flies. Her research focused on a set of neurons, dubbed the moonwalker neurons, that constitute the key pathway for backward walking in flies. Her work has been tweeted by MC Hammer. Dr. Sen is currently a postdoctoral fellow in the laboratory of Nobel Laureate Dr. Richard Axel, where she investigates the neuronal basis of social memories in mice. When she is not in the lab, she does improv comedy. While science has taken her to interesting places in interesting brains, improv has taken her to the moon, hell, back and beyond.  Josh is the Assistant Director of Aquatic Life at Columbia University where he oversees the well-being of various aquatic species in biomedical research. He's cohost of the Podcast "Gettin' Fishy With it" a podcast about fish in the wild, the hobby and the laboratory. His hobbies include improv comedy, ruining conversation flow with terrible puns, fishing, and fishing in his favorite videogame, World of Warcraft. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, we sit down with Khalid El Khatib, the Chief Marketing Officer of Consumer Reports, one of America's most trusted and oldest consumer advocacy organizations. Khalid unpacks how he's transitioning Conaumer Reports from a “publisher” mindset to a platform strategy that emphasizes product-led growth, user-centric advocacy, and yes, the iconic lab testing (including a cat-hair-laden robotic vacuum test).One of the key takeaways here is how community can be a company's competitive moat, and how bringing in fresh digital tactics doesn't have to mean losing an 88-year legacy of credibility. Another recurring theme is the intergenerational aspect of CR's brand story - how do you engage a loyal but aging membership and a new crop of digitally native consumers at the same time?

Please join me in welcoming the brilliant Keri Finley, an esteemed investor, board director, and founder, as she shares her incredible life story and her impressive career in finance with us.    We start with the most impactful moments of Keri's early life in Los Angeles during a recession, where her family's financial struggles ignited a lifelong determination for stability and success. Influenced by her upbringing, Keri showcases how those formative experiences shaped her disciplined approach to money and savings later down the road.    We'll explore how Keri's educational journey set her up for her first job at Morgan Stanley and the pivotal moments that defined her career at Third Point. She discloses her personal investment strategies, where even early on, her bonuses were always earmarked for savings, providing a window into her meticulous financial planning.    Keri was also gracious enough to get vulnerable with us and shared about her early retirement, her move to California, and the challenging personal and professional setbacks she faced. Amidst the founding of Tacora Capital, she found herself in a “dark night of the soul” after facing some bad press, personal and professional betrayal, and the dissolution of her marriage.    Through the darkness, Keri emerged triumphant and learned the importance of aligning with ethical people and the value of genuine relationships as she navigated her new venture. Her remarkable story is not just about financial acumen but also about resilience, integrity, and finding joy and balance through life's trials. Key Topics: Keri's earliest money memories that shaped her perspective on spending and saving Why Keri took every AP class possible in high school Deciding to attend Columbia University and how she and her family managed to cover the costs of education Prioritizing partying a little too much at the start of university Earning her first job at Morgan Stanley after graduating from Columbia Navigating finances in her early career in NYC How Keri's early money memories came back to shape her spending and saving habits in adulthood The unique path Keri's investment journey took as she started her career How to get involved in closed-end funds  Keri's experience at Third Point managing nearly $4 billion in funds after 9 years How Keri and her partner managed finances and money conversations in their early careers Retiring early to move to California with her partner Learning how to figure out who's real and who's fake in business in California The “dark night of the soul” moments that changed Keri's perspective on loyalty, trust, and integrity in others Navigating the different sets of standards placed on women in finance Finding a new opportunity and a fresh start with Tacora Capital What Keri's investing in today Spending money on convenience and simplicity     Connect with Keri online:    Websites: https://www.tacoracap.com/ LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/keri-findley-4a974a10a/ https://www.linkedin.com/company/tacora-capital/ Find more from Syama Bunten:   Instagram: @syama.co, @gettingrichpod Website: https://syamabunten.com/ Download Syama's Guide to Getting Rich: www.syamabunten.com  Women & Wealth Catalyst Summit: https://women.win/ Big Delta Capital: www.bigdeltacapital.com
