Podcasts about Success

Daily Word It's tempting to say that because our vision is God's will for our life, it will automatically be successful. However, this is far from reality because the success of our vision is not based on the will of God. Listen to today's Daily Word to learn what your success is based on.   __________ 1 Timothy 2:3–4 KJV, Matthew 24:39–41 KJV, Luke 4:17–19 KJV, Matthew 13:55–58 KJV, Matthew 9:28–30 KJV, Matthew 8:8,13 KJV, Matthew 15:22–28 KJV, Mark 5:25–34 KJV, Mark 9:22–24 KJV, Matthew 17:19–20 KJV, Hebrews 11:1 KJV, James 1:5–7 KJV __________ Partner with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/partner Connect with Us: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com Leave a Comment: https://churchforentrepreneurs.com/comments __________

Christian is joined by Fitzy & Hart and get one last check in from Mego at Radio Row about the vibes on the final day in San Francisco. What is everyone saying about last night's awards at the NFL Honors? Then, one person thought Justin Herbert should've been MVP which cost Drake Maye his shot of being named the MVP. And, what we saw at the NFL Honors seems to be a clue on how everyone is viewing the Patriots ahead of the Super Bowl.

"It's nice to have a reset. I'm looking at these people and I have something to work up to now, versus being at the top of the NCAA and hoping you get it right on the day. Now, I have, 'I need to improve by ten seconds if I want to be up there at USAs.' That kind of excites me. It's a little scary, but it's mostly exciting."Margot Appleton is a Massachusetts native now running for the home team. She has joined Team New Balance Boston and is being coached by Mark Coogan.At Virginia, she was an NCAA finalist in the 1500, stepped up to finish fourth in the 5000 meters at nationals, and then this spring put together a breakout campaign that included a 4:05.68 1500 at Raleigh Relays—fourth-fastest in NCAA history at the time—an ACC title, and a runner-up finish at the NCAA Championships.Margot is comfortable moving between distances and continuing to sharpen herself against the very best in the country. And at just 23 years old, it still feels like she's learning how good she can be. She is coming off personal bests in the 3000m and the mile at the New Balance Indoor Grand Prix and the Millrose Games. She was the second American and 6th overall in the Wanamaker mile.In this conversation, we talk about her decision to join the refreshed Team New Balance Boston squad, what clicked this past season, how she thinks about racing at championship meets, and what her goals are for 2026.____________Host: Chris Chavez | ⁠⁠@chris_j_chavez on Instagram⁠Guests: Margot Appleton | @margotappleton on InstagramProduced by: Jasmine Fehr | ⁠⁠⁠@jasminefehr on Instagram⁠⁠⁠____________SUPPORT OUR SPONSORSUSATF: The USATF Indoor Track and Field Championships presented by Prevagen are back in New York City from February 28th to March 1st at the Ocean Breeze Athletic Complex in Staten Island.

The best influencers (and elite athletes, artists and inventors) are boring. They are all about Mundanity: repeating the same few habits every single day (whether they feel like performing them or not) until these consistent practices incrementally morph into a tsunami of victory. Success lies in a masterful consistency around the fundamentals (please read that thrice). Don't complicate things. Just repeat a few routines staggeringly well. I recall learning from the excellent documentary Tyson that when Mike was at the top of his game as the undefeated heavyweight champion of the world, he only did three things: trained, ate and slept.I've created a powerful completely new online program called The Amazing Day Blueprint.

Physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and founder Dr. Vivek Aranki joins me to unpack why most real success is built through failure—and why the willingness to iterate beats chasing innovation for its own sake.Most business conversations treat failure as something to avoid, minimize, or hide. This episode reframes it as a required feedback loop. Vivek and I explore how meaningful progress—especially in regulated, high-stakes industries—comes from repeated trial, error, and disciplined correction.Vivek shares his transition from practicing physician to building one of Australia's largest non-corporate cosmetic medicine groups, now spanning 20 clinics nationwide and expanding through franchising. We examine how affordability, quality, and safety are often positioned as trade-offs—and how those assumptions break down when systems are designed intentionally.The conversation moves into franchising ethics, brand trust, and why extraction-based models collapse over time. Vivek explains why their organization prioritizes long-term brand credibility over franchise fees, why lead generation must sit centrally in regulated industries, and how franchising only works when incentives are aligned.From there, we widen the lens to healthcare economics, preventative care, food systems, regulation, and why “move fast and break things” is a catastrophic mindset when human health is involved. We contrast tech's tolerance for failure with healthcare's need for boring, proven reliability—and why lagging the cutting edge can actually be the strategic advantage.This isn't a conversation about avoiding risk.It's about understanding where risk belongs—and where it doesn't.TL;DR* Failure is a necessary feedback loop, not a personal flaw* Businesses fail when they copy instead of creating real value* In healthcare, innovation without evidence is dangerous—not disruptive* Franchising only works when value flows to franchisees, not out of them* “Boring” systems outperform cutting-edge ones in regulated environments* Affordability, safety, and quality can coexist with disciplined execution* Healthcare costs are driven by bureaucracy more than care delivery* Preventative care has the highest value-to-cost leverage—but the weakest incentives* Sustainable systems must be able to self-correct over timeMemorable Lines* “Failure isn't a setback—it's a feedback loop.”* “Boring is good when people's health is on the line.”* “If innovation lacks evidence, it's not innovation—it's experimentation.”* “You can't ‘move fast and break things' when the thing is a human being.”* “Long-term value dies the moment extraction becomes the strategy.”GuestDr. Vivek Aranki — Physician, healthcare entrepreneur, and founderFounder of a national cosmetic medicine group with 20 clinics across Australia, specializing in scalable, safety-first healthcare delivery and ethical franchising within highly regulated environments.Why This MattersModern business culture glorifies disruption without consequence.But in real systems—healthcare, regulation, food, human safety—failure has a cost. Understanding where experimentation belongs and where discipline must prevail is a leadership skill few master.For founders, operators, and executives navigating regulated industries or complex systems, this episode offers a sober counterweight to startup mythology: progress comes from feedback, restraint, and building structures that correct themselves before damage compounds.Success isn't about avoiding failure.It's about learning faster—without breaking what matters.

Are your goals outgrowing your daily discipline?In this episode, Kevin and Alan explain why most people fall short, not because they lack ability, but because their standards, systems, and execution are misaligned. Drawing from years of coaching experience and their own journey of building success from the ground up, they break down what it takes to develop focus, financial intelligence, emotional control, and long-term resilience in a world built for distraction.This conversation challenges comfort-driven thinking and replaces it with clarity, structure, and personal accountability. If you want results that last, this episode will reset how you approach growth. Do not just listen.

What if your confidence didn't need to wait for proof—what if it's something you practice in the middle of uncertainty? In this episode, we unpack what it really takes to stay steady, self-assured, and mentally resilient while building a purpose-driven business. Hosted by Avik Chakraborty on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, this conversation is for women founders (and anyone on a non-linear path) who feel self-doubt, external pressure, or the quiet need to “prove” their worth. Neli Kools shares how her journey—from architecture and urban planning to entrepreneurship—shaped her leadership, and why care, comfort, and dignity are deeply tied to women's confidence. About the Guest: Neli Kools is a global entrepreneur and co-founder of Intimate Queen, a purpose-driven lingerie and wellness brand focused on plant-based, comfort-first pieces designed for women's confidence and care. Key Takeaways: Treat confidence as a daily practice, not a reward you earn after success. Stop outsourcing your worth: focus on integrity, deliverables, and authenticity. When pressure rises, slow down—journal, meditate, and listen inward before deciding. Normalize non-linear growth: detours can widen vision and strengthen decision-making. Comfort impacts mindset: when the body feels supported, the mind feels lighter. Replace “prove yourself” with “trust yourself”—one step, one choice at a time.

In this energetic episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan and Rode Dog dig deep into the mindsets, frameworks, and daily practices that separate the world's best coaches and entrepreneurs from the rest. Through rapid-fire "word association," Karl reveals actionable insights for productivity, building a powerful personal brand, becoming an ideal mentor, and thinking like legends such as Musk, Bezos, and Zuckerburg. Whether you're wondering why most coaches fail or how to stop making unforced errors, this episode is stacked with real-world advice for coaches ready to upgrade their business and impact. Key Topics Covered The To-Do List Trap and Productivity Hacks Karl explains why most people never complete their to-do list and how focusing on just three critical tasks each day—especially before 10 AM—can 10x productivity and happiness. He urges coaches to build "done lists," embrace the 80/20 rule, and set high-leverage priorities. Amateur vs. Pro: The Mindset Shift Karl breaks down how professionals obsess over what could go wrong, practice to improve (not just to practice), and invest in personal development as the ultimate asset—channeling wisdom from Warren Buffett to Tom Brady. Rules of Business and Coaching From Warren Buffett's investing rules to Karl's "two rules of business" (get clients, keep clients), the hosts link real-world examples to a simple guiding framework. Coaches are reminded that keeping clients is even more vital than getting them. The Ideal Mentor Karl introduces three coach archetypes—Hider, Winger, and Installer. The most successful mentors don't just pile on tasks but help clients cut through noise and focus on what not to do, providing systems, accountability, and transformation over mere motivation. Learning from the Great Entrepreneurs Insights from Bezos, Musk, and others show that solving bigger problems, operating as if you're always 30 days from going out of business, and having a compelling North Star all lead to outsized success. Avoiding Unforced Errors Business is a game of minimizing mistakes, from "stupid taxes" to client audits using the 80/20 rule. Whether in the Super Bowl or business, those who avoid unforced errors typically win. Why Most Coaches Fail Instead of acting with conviction and serving business owners directly, many coaches waste productivity hanging out with other coaches, lack clarity, or never truly commit. The Power of a North Star and Personal Brand From Elon Musk's Mars mission to Gary Vee's obsession with attention, a powerful vision attracts results. Karl discusses practical personal branding in the social media era and why "who knows you" outweighs "who you know." Notable Quotes "Remember, a real mentor can tell you what NOT to do." "Amateurs talk, pros listen. Amateurs want to make it, pros want to keep it." "If you really want to feel productive… create a 'done list' versus a to-do list and get your top three done by 10am." "If you can't make fast buying decisions, you won't attract people who make fast buying decisions." "You don't need more motivation. What you need is less options." Actionable Takeaways Network where your clients are: Spend 80% of your outreach time in the spaces business owners frequent, not just talking shop with other coaches. Prioritize and narrow your focus: Each day, pick your top three high-leverage actions before adding anything else. Success compounds through focus and execution. Think in mental models: Apply the 80/20 rule, "what could go wrong?", and profit-driven frameworks to decision-making and client strategy. Build your personal brand deliberately: It's not just what you know or who you know, it's who knows you. Be visible, use social media strategically, and craft a clear message. Become an Installer, not a Winger: Develop systems your clients can implement and show them where to look, not what to see. Hold yourself and others accountable for action. Imitate the greats with your North Star: State your dream and mission boldly. Big claims lead to big impact, clarity, and opportunities. Minimize unforced errors: Audit your client list for profitability, avoid busywork, and learn from athletes: controlling mistakes wins championships (and businesses).

What if silence in your team meetings isn't just about shyness or lack of ideas, but something everyone's been taught—often unconsciously—to protect themselves or others? In this episode, I sit down with Elaine Lin Hering, a top facilitator, global educator, and author of “Unlearning Silence,” to dig into the roots of silence and how leaders can transform it into true engagement.As the conversation kicks off, we tackle a fundamental leadership dilemma: despite constant encouragement to “speak up,” people often hold back. Why? Elaine reveals it's not just about courage or confidence. Silence is a learned survival strategy, which is often shaped by culture, hierarchy, and even unconscious organizational habits. Her own story, growing up as the youngest daughter of Taiwanese immigrants, shows how silence sneaks in early and sticks.Throughout the episode, we explore questions relating to real-world challenges such as how can you create a safe space for candor when your “resting face” or demeanour sets the wrong tone? Or, why do team members only give feedback after a decision is finalized. Elaine offers evidence-informed and practical answers to these situations.The takeaway is clear: Strong leadership means recognizing that silence is not always golden—and that by unlearning it, we unlock deeper connection, better decisions, and a future not bound by the past. What You'll Learn- Silence is learned… and it's often unintentional.- Unlearning silence is an ongoing process.- Explicit clarity is critical for leaders.- How to reframe your view of your voice.- The mode and medium of communication matter.- What is obvious to you may be the insight someone else is looking for.Podcast Timestamps(00:03) - The Origins of Unlearning Silence(05:46) - The Process of Unlearning Silence(09:10) - Agency and the Value of Voice(15:59) - The RACI Framework(19:16) - How Communication Mode and Process Influence Voice(24:10) - Surfacing Feedback and Pre-Empting Silence(32:08) - Imposter Syndrome or Imposter Treatment?(41:47) - When Is Silence Golden?(46:52) - Explicitly Creating Psychological SafetyKEYWORDSPositive Leadership, Self-Awareness, Feedback, Personal Growth, Leading with Intention, Unlearning silence, Employee Voice, Power Dynamics, Decision-Making Frameworks, RACI Model, Team Communication, Self-Silencing, Imposter Syndrome, Psychological Safety, Personal Growth, CEO Success

Sometimes the room that helped you win is the same room that's keeping you stuck. In this episode, I'm breaking down a powerful but uncomfortable truth every entrepreneur eventually faces: real growth often requires leaving the environment that got you here so you can step into the one that gets you there.I'm sharing what hit me hard after flying to Atlanta.

But from clarity.If you've been feeling that tension between where you are and where you know you're meant to go, this episode will help you see why that discomfort isn't resistance… it's readiness.Things I Cover in This Episode:Why you can't build vision in survival modeHow familiarity and comfort can quietly stall your growthThe difference between building from pressure vs. clarityWhy the CEO version of you needs a new operating systemQuestions you need to ask if you've outgrown your current environmentHow to stop reacting and start designing scale on purpose-Ready to Build the Agent CEO Model?If you want a clear, repeatable revenue system (without burnout), DM “AGENTCEO” to @itsraquelq on Instagram to learn more about the Agent CEO Accelerator.For coaching, events, and collaborations: www.LetsPlayBigger.comFollow Raquel on Raquel Quinet's socialsInstagram | YouTube | Facebook | LinkedInExplore More Ways to Play BiggerPlay Bigger EventsWeekly Play Bigger NewsletterApply to be in our Play Bigger MastermindGrow Your Real Estate Business with Real Brokerage

They explore the disconnect in dental hygiene practices, the need for alignment within teams, and the potential for burnout in the profession. The conversation emphasizes the value of creating a robust business model that prioritizes general dentistry and hygiene, while also allowing for specialization when appropriate. The hosts encourage listeners to pivot and adapt their business strategies to ensure long-term success and satisfaction in their dental careers. TAKEAWAYS Sales-based jobs often yield better results in dentistry. There is a significant disconnect in dental hygiene practices. Incentives are crucial for performance in dental teams. Simplistic and replicable business models scale faster. A strong hygiene program can drive restorative work. Burnout in dentistry often stems from high complexity and stress. Alignment within teams is essential for success. Dentists have the power to pivot their business models. A robust hygiene program can enhance practice profitability.

ABOUT THE EPISODE:If you've been waiting for the right moment to bring up the idea of getting your young adult some support, and you're not sure how to do it without blowing up every landmine between you, this episode is for you. Joanna Lilley, therapeutic consultant and host of the podcast Success is Subjective, is back on Hopestream, and she's pulling back the curtain on what it actually looks like to help a young adult move toward help. Joanna works exclusively with the 18 to 29 crowd, and her approach is deceptively simple: meet them where they are, agenda-free, not where your fear wants them to be.What makes Joanna's process so potent is the way it preserves a young adult's agency at every step. There's no attempt at maneuvering them into a decision or finding the magic words that finally crack them open. It's about creating the conditions where they feel like the architect of what comes next, and why that buy-in matters more than the program itself. Joanna also gets real about what she's seeing shift in the treatment landscape right now, including why young adults are staying longer in programs, how the complexity of what's showing up has changed dramatically, and what questions parents actually need to be asking before you commit to anything.When you listen, you'll learn:Why some young adults may have a deeply distorted picture of what treatment looks like, and how to gently disrupt that narrative without pushing them further awayHow Joanna structures her first conversation with a young adult so it feels like a genuine exchange rather than a formal ‘intake' processWhy giving your young adult the choice of who to work with matters just as much as the choice of where to goWhy it's wise to start the ‘what might treatment look like' process before you think you need to and what it might cost you if you waitEPISODE RESOURCES:Joanna Lilley (Lilley Consulting) websiteJoanna on Hopestream podcast episode #208 Joanna on Hopestream podcast episode #39This podcast is part of a nonprofit called Hopestream CommunityGet our free, 4-video course, Hope Starts Here, and access to our Limited Membership hereLearn about The Stream, our private online community for momsFind us on Instagram hereWatch the podcast on YouTube hereDownload a free e-book, Worried Sick: A Compassionate Guide For Parents When Your Teen or Young Adult Child Misuses Drugs and AlcoholHopestream Community is a registered 501(c)3 nonprofit organization and an Amazon Associate.

The crisis of meaning among young people gets a lot of press; but a quieter crisis of calling afflicts every generation today. Dr. Arthur Brooks says the causes are the same: not knowing what our life is really and ultimately for. In his talk at The Heights Forum Convivium 2025, Dr. Brooks shares the facts about calling—where neuroscience, psychology, and theology all agree, and how he (finally) found his. He goes on to say that helping young people to discover the true Christian purpose of life and then one's personal calling is the missionary work of teachers.

Imagine working your entire life for a retirement you never reach. Engineering leader, Jossie Haines, shares how a family tragedy transformed her perspective on ambition, burnout, and the urgent need for human-centric leadership in the age of AI.After reaching the heights of Silicon Valley as a VP of Engineering and working on iconic products like Siri, Jossie realized that the traditional "up and to the right" career path often leads to burnout rather than fulfillment. She discusses the systemic reasons why 50% of women leave tech by age 35, how to leverage AI as a leadership tool rather than a replacement for human judgment, and why true success must be defined on your own terms.3 Key Takeaways:(1) The "Next Step" Philosophy: Avoid the paralysis of trying to map out a massive goal from A to Z. Focus exclusively on the immediate next step—whether it's a phone call or a brainstorm—to gain clarity without the overwhelm.(2) Inclusion is a Product Feature: Diverse teams aren't just a metric; they build better tech. Jossie highlights how a lack of diverse testers can lead to products (like voice assistants) that fail to recognize women's voices or various accents.(3) AI is a Change Management Challenge: Integrating AI into a team isn't just about the software; it's a leadership task. Success with AI requires human oversight to determine what "good" looks like and to ensure it solves the right problems.Connect with Jossie Haines on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jossiemann/Check out her website - https://JossieHaines.com to learn about her upcoming workshops and coaching programs.

Juliana Stepanova: When a Former Skeptic Calls to Say "Now I Know What You Did" — Defining Scrum Master Success Read the full Show Notes and search through the world's largest audio library on Agile and Scrum directly on the Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast website: http://bit.ly/SMTP_ShowNotes.   "Juliana, now I know what you did that time. It was so amazing work. Sometimes the work of the Scrum Master, you cannot measure it in real numbers, because the work of the Scrum Master is dependent on the persons who are working with the team." - Juliana Stepanova   Juliana shares a story that captures the often invisible nature of Scrum Master success. For a year and a half, she worked with a distributed team across Europe, and one colleague in her office would repeatedly ask—half joking, half serious—"Juliana, what do you do here? Why are you getting a salary? I don't see any improvements."  Eight months after that colleague moved to another company, he called her with a revelation: working in a team without effective Scrum Mastering made him finally understand the value she had created. This delayed recognition highlights a fundamental challenge: Scrum Master success often can't be measured in real numbers because it depends on enabling others. Juliana's practical approach is to set three main focus areas every three months, aligned with team and company needs.  She tracks concrete progress—like implementing a Definition of Done across multiple teams—and measures whether specific goals are achieved. She even asks in job interviews: "How will you measure my success in three or six months?" Without this intentional focus and self-measurement, she says, "it's truly hard to see what you're really doing."   Self-reflection Question: What three focus areas would you choose for the next three months, and how would you know you've succeeded in each? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Wedding Retro Juliana recommends the Wedding Retro format from Retromat, and when she mentions the name, people immediately smile—which is exactly the point. The format uses the traditional wedding saying "something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue" to structure reflection: Something Old represents practices that are working and should continue; Something New covers areas for improvement or experimentation; Something Borrowed invites the team to identify ideas from other teams or departments worth adopting; and Something Blue addresses blockers, risks, and issues.  Juliana loves this format because the playful framing creates positive emotions from the start, disarming tension and making people more open to genuine reflection. "If you laugh at the start of the retrospective," she explains, "you're ready for a much better retrospective than if you're tense and anxious." She uses this exercise "all over the time," even outside her Scrum Master work.   [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

Puzzles, Not Goals: Rethinking How Teams Succeed with guest expert, Radhika Dutt Puzzle-driven leadership challenges goal-setting at a time when pressure, burnout, and uncertainty are reshaping how teams succeed. When you set targets, you rarely get the reality from the trenches. Instead, you create incentives for people to give you a falsely rosy picture. And leaders become the last to know what's really happening. In this episode of Impact With Ease, Blake is joined by Radhika Dutt, author of Radical Product Thinking, for a wide-ranging conversation on leadership, intentionality, and why traditional goal setting fails teams. If you're navigating rapid change, new technology, rising burnout, or a growing sense that "the old ways" no longer work, this episode offers clarity and a new way forward. You'll hear why traditional goal setting isn't working and how puzzle driven leadership vs goal setting creates accountability without fear, restores curiosity, and builds teams capable of adapting in real time. Episode Highlights Intentionality and Responsibility in Leadership [08:24] - Why technology is a tool and how intention determines its impact [10:21] - How corporate responsibility goes beyond individual choice [12:09] - The role leaders take on: like doctors prescribing solutions Technology, AI, and the Limits of Goal-Driven Thinking [14:24] - The FOMO trap: "AI first" isn't a strategy [16:30] - Where AI actually belongs in your vision and strategy [17:30] - Why decisions from fear never create optimal outcomes Why Goals Create Pressure, Burnout, and Blind Spots [20:32] - How aspirational targets create exhaustion and a cycle of marathons [22:30] - Going from knowing the answer to staying curious [23:30] - Goals vs. puzzles: pressure and importance vs. creativity and curiosity The Shift From Goals to Puzzles [24:30] - How puzzle-thinking doubled sales  [27:21] - Why proven principles show up in different methodologies [30:58] - How puzzles offer scaffolding without rigidity Accountability Without Performance Theater [33:11] - The three big questions [37:55] - How survival mode shuts down creative problem-solving [39:53] - Practical next steps: the OLA framework Powerful Quotes "When you set targets, you rarely get the reality from the trenches. Instead, you create incentives for people to give you a falsely rosy picture." -Radhika Dutt "When you have puzzles, people bring curiosity. And curiosity is what keeps teams in the problem long enough to actually learn." -Radhika Dutt "When people are in survival mode, their ability to problem-solve and think creatively shuts down—and that's a massive risk for organizations right now." -Blake Schofield "We vote with our labor for the world that we want to produce. If you don't reflect on your intention, how do you know if you're casting the right vote for the world you want to create?" -Radhika Dutt "Goals trigger pressure and importance. Puzzles trigger creativity and curiosity." -Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned   Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

The primary development centers on the shift toward smaller, task-specific AI models within enterprises and how this shift is primarily about transferring liability from AI vendors to operators. Dave Sobel notes that while narrower AI models are being marketed as safer and easier to govern, the reality is that they shift the burden of control, oversight, and risk directly onto the organizations deploying them. Hidden costs—particularly those related to data infrastructure, compliance, and ongoing governance—are substantial, often eclipsing the initial AI investment.Supporting data includes findings from a Salesforce survey indicating that CIOs allocate a median of 20% of their budgets to data and infrastructure management versus 5% to AI itself. Dave Sobel stresses that the real cost of an AI project can be significantly higher than client expectations, pointing out a 4:1 spending ratio between supporting infrastructure and the AI technology. This underscores the risk for MSPs who may fail to price in the operational and governance requirements appropriately, exposing themselves to financial and compliance liabilities.Adjacent stories address OpenAI's strategic expansion into advertising and direct consulting, marking a move from pure technology platform to direct competitor for services revenue. OpenAI is creating an Ads Integrity Team to manage advertiser verification and reduce scam risk but acknowledges the challenges of maintaining effective controls at scale. In parallel, OpenAI is embedding engineers within client operations—mirroring other internal AI initiatives such as those at Shield and Entegris—and reinforcing a market divide. MSPs who build such capabilities internally capture margin, while others face lasting margin compression as purchasers of external solutions.The implications for MSPs and IT leaders are direct. Success depends less on which AI model is selected and more on the provider's ability to establish rigorous governance, liability management, and ongoing operational control. The market is bifurcating: service providers who can build in-house AI platforms or attract strategic investment will retain efficiency as margin, while those relegated to purchasing third-party tools risk further erosion of profitability and competitive position. The decision to build or buy is becoming a business model risk, not just a procurement choice, and the opportunity to address it is narrowing.Three things to know today:00:00 Firms Shift to Task-Specific AI Models Amid Governance, Liability Concerns 04:35 OpenAI Launches Ads Integrity Team, Hires Hundreds as Services Push Begins08:34 MSP Market Splits as Integris, Shield Build Internal AI, Others Buy ToolsThis is the Business of Tech.   Supported by:  IT Service Provider University 

Our inspiring podcast guest today, Scott Tillema, is an award-winning keynote speaker and negotiation expert who helps leaders navigate difficult conversations with confidence, influence, and trust. Drawing on more than 20 years in law enforcement, including his work as an FBI-trained hostage negotiator and a business negotiator trained through the Harvard University Program on Negotiation, Scott brings rare, real-world insight into what it takes to lead effectively in high-stakes moments. His work focuses on showing leaders how to connect first, influence second, and create outcomes that move people and businesses forward. In this episode, Scott unpacks the psychology behind negotiation and human connection through four key factors: understanding, timing, delivery, and respect. He shares how his early life, career in law enforcement, and deep study of human behavior shaped his approach, why judgment blocks connection, and how problem-solving can sometimes stand in the way of true empathy. We also explore what bad leadership can teach us, why influence is a learnable skill, and why we should never forget that connection is at the very heart of influence. Join us for an eye-opening conversation about how to harness the influence you may not even know you have to change the world for the better.   Key Highlights From This Episode: Scott's beginnings in hostage negotiations from studying psychology and working in law enforcement. [04:45] How his childhood and early adult experiences shaped his curiosity about what drives people. [06:53] How judgment acts as a barrier to connection and ultimately negotiation. [11:20] Four factors of negotiation: understanding, timing, delivery, and respect. [17:03] Why it is truly possible for anyone to become a strong verbal influencer. [21:32] What we can learn from bad leadership and the mistakes they make along the way. [26:12] Why problem-solving creates a barrier to true empathy. [31:02] A final word of encouragement about the influence you might not know you have.

Through real stories and psychologically grounded insight, we challenge the habits that turn support into sabotage.This episode is for parents, partners, leaders, and growth-minded humans who want to empower instead of enable, guide instead of control, and build strength that holds under pressure.

What happens when you get everything you thought would finally make you feel okay… and it doesn't?Anthony Spark grew up in chaos, learned independence early, and chased financial freedom with relentless focus. He did what so many people are told will fix everything: worked harder, made more money, built businesses, climbed the mountain. And then he discovered something he didn't expect. Success doesn't save you from yourself.As a child, Anthony witnessed the challenges of a single-parent household and the consequences of generational dysfunction. From his mother, he learned independence and personal responsibility. She made it clear that actions have consequences. You handle your own stuff. You clean up your own messes. That foundation taught him self-reliance early and shaped his drive to stand on his own two feet rather than wait to be rescued.His father struggled with addiction, incarceration, and emotional instability. But even through that, Anthony heard a consistent message: you'll be better than me.As Anthony set out on his own path to financial independence, He achieved great success but also discovered that winning the so-called “game” didn't fill the void he felt inside. He felt so much tension between striving for success and accepting oneself as “enough.” When his business became his mistress, he almost lost his marriage.Through counseling, he learned true success requires presence, vulnerability, and emotional intimacy. And that genuine happiness is cultivated through loving relationships, inner peace, and staying committed to personal values, even as you pursue ambitious goals.This was his reckoning. Then came his reinvention.If you're leading a team that looks productive on the surface but feels fractured, exhausted, or misaligned underneath, this conversation will hit close to home. It's for leaders who know that performance problems are rarely about strategy alone and are ready to address the human dynamics that drive trust, clarity, and momentum.HYPE SONG:Anthony's Playlist https://open.spotify.com/playlist/37i9dQZF1EptZxSk8ZSptt?RESOURCES:Anthony's websites: https://sparkachangecoaching.com/https://extraordinaryexcellence.com/https://phoenixevolution.co/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthonykspark/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/mr.anthony.sparkInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/a_spark_is_born/Invitation from Lori:This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.

In this episode of "Relatable," Allie breaks down the newest Epstein files released, explaining what the millions of pages of documents really show about prominent political figures. She exposes AI hoaxes, fake “Epstein emails,” and the disturbing but verified correspondence between Jeffrey Epstein and physician Peter Attia. Allie then analyzes Nicki Minaj's outspoken pro-Christian, anti-Democrat turn and contrasts it with the hypocrisy of celebrities like Billie Eilish and Justin Bieber at the Grammys who call for “ICE OUT” while relying on heavy security and gated estates. She also highlights a landmark legal victory for detransitioner Fox Varian, arguing that doctors who push gender surgeries and cross-sex hormones on minors must be held legally accountable. Finally, she critiques the rise of platonic co-parenting, defending the Christian vision of marriage, family, and children's rights against progressive social experiments.

Forged by Fire: Jesse James on Craftsmanship, Controversy, and ReinventionThis week, Marcus and Melanie sit down with Jesse James, one of the most influential custom motorcycle builders of the modern era. A fabricator at heart and an old-school craftsman by trade, Jesse is best known as the founder of West Coast Choppers, a brand that redefined the custom chopper world with raw metal, rigid frames, and uncompromising attention to detail.Jesse's journey began in his mother's garage, where he learned the art of fabrication under the mentorship of legendary hot rod builder Boyd Coddington. What started as a passion for building with his hands quickly evolved into a full-scale operation in Long Beach, California—one that would grow to employ more than 50 people and produce hand-built motorcycles commanding prices from $50,000 to $150,000.His rise to national fame came through the Discovery Channel's Motorcycle Mania, which gave viewers an unfiltered look into his shop, his process, and his relentless standards. That exposure led to Monster Garage, cementing Jesse as a household name and a defining figure in reality-based automotive television.Known for crafting—not assembling—his bikes, Jesse's signature style emphasizes stretched frames, precision metalwork, and function-driven design over flash. His work has been commissioned by high-profile clients including Kid Rock and Shaquille O'Neal, further solidifying his influence across culture, sports, and entertainment.In 2010, after facing both personal and business challenges, Jesse closed the original West Coast Choppers headquarters and relocated to Texas. There, he rebuilt—both personally and professionally—continuing to create custom machines and expanding into new ventures, including firearms manufacturing and direct-to-consumer media through platforms like OTLW.tv.In this episode, Jesse opens up about learning discipline and skill the hard way, building a brand from nothing, the cost of fame and fast success, and why craftsmanship, grit, and honesty still matterThis is a raw, no-nonsense conversation about earning your skills, owning your mistakes, and building something real—one weld at a time.In this episode you will hear:• I went to Iraq in '03, a month after we invaded. We did a USO tour and Kid Rock went and invited me. Nobody from USO knew who I was, so I told them I was, so I lied and said I was his tour manager. (1:13)• I ended up going t jail my senior year for stealing cars. (14:47)• I went to college and it was like crabs trying to get out of a barrel. (15:25)• I was always working in the garage, building bikes. I had a Harley in High school. I was restoring bicycles, and building Volkswagons and sending them to Japan. I was hustling. (16:11)• From my parents being antique dealers, I had a huge, pretty valuable tin toy collection. Like really rare Mark 10 toys worth thousands of dollars. I loaded ‘em up in my car and took ‘em to the big toy show in Pasadena. I sold them all to a dealer, and I used that money to buy a mill and a lathe and a welder for my garage. (23:27)• If you're gonna wait for the right time, that's never coming. (23:51)• My dad started me really young working. I literally despised him for it. And now I'm thankful because I have this relentless work ethic. (25:01)• I restored a 1940 or '41 bicycle called the Hiawatha Chippewa. I bought it for $100. (29:08)• The first thing I ever made was a dust pan. (32:33)• I was getting pai $750 a week salary, and at night I was making about 15 grand a week, making and shipping fenders. (43:56)• If you would watch the Discovery channel in '99 and 2000, they would run [my documentary on how a motorcycle gets built by hand] over and over. It was the highest rated show in the history of the network. (53:32)• I did 118 cars. (56:43)• I love taking about what I do. I love interaction. (60:11)• [Marcus] When you're driving into work early – with an hour difference – what type of cars are on the road early in the morning as opposed to the ones during rush hour. I heard that. (61:47)• Success in this country, and in the world, isn't defined by tactile skills. (62:40)• I'm eliminating everything in my life that keeps me from working and being a craftsman.
