I have so many friends struggling with infertility or getting different fertility information from their doctors—”freeze your eggs, don't freeze your eggs, it's okay that you don't get your period, it's a warning sign”. Then I read Dr. Natalie Crawford's amazing book, The Fertility Formula, and I found out that there's a HUGE underlying cause of infertility that I've never heard anyone talk about.  So today, I'm fortunate to have on Dr. Natalie Crawford, a world renowned fertility doctor, a double board certified OBGYN, and author of The Fertility Formula, to clear things up. We're talking about exactly what to do in your 20s, 30s, and 40s for your fertility. And heads up—even if you don't want kids, your fertility is incredibly important for your overall health.  Whether you're trying to put yourself in the best possible position for the future you want, or you're trying to solve a problem, this episode is going to help, and you're going to get information you won't hear anywhere else.

Success isn't built by playing it safe or trying to do everything at once. This episode breaks down why obsession, discipline, and committing fully to one craft are often the real difference between stalled ideas and lasting success. We dive deeper into this in the Habits & Hustle with Anastasia Soare. We also talk about why balance is overrated, how discipline beats talent, and what it actually takes to build a category from nothing. Anastasia Soare is the founder and CEO of Anastasia Beverly Hills. She is a self-made entrepreneur known globally as the Queen of Eyebrows and built her career as an esthetician working with clients including Oprah Winfrey and Michelle Obama. She founded Anastasia Beverly Hills in 1997 and has been featured in outlets including The Wall Street Journal, Vogue, Allure, Harper's Bazaar, People, and Entertainment Tonight.

In this episode, we explore the rarely recognized power of “seeing the here and now.” Using a memorable scene from Spielberg's Lincoln as a launchpad, we dig into what it really means to rise to those unique, decisive moments that have the potential to alter the trajectory of our organizations, teams, and lives. While it's easy (and comfortable) to stick to established plans and long-term strategies, the real challenge—and opportunity—lies in perceiving the pressing realities and fleeting openings right in front of us.We break down why leaders often miss out: from the tendency to seek only confirming data, to deferring action until it's "more convenient," or sticking with yesterday's plan at the expense of today's opportunities. We discuss how recognizing and responding to converging tensions, personal convictions, and unexpected resources can set you apart as a brave leader who changes the game. Because, as we remind ourselves, the hardest thing isn't to plan, but to see what's possible now—and act on it while the window is open.Five Key Learnings:Not all moments are equal. Some situations are true inflection points that demand we notice and act, not simply follow the plan.Comfort can be a blindfold. We naturally avoid disconfirming evidence and delay hard choices, risking missed opportunities.Look for signs. Tensions you're wrestling with, persistent convictions of conscience, and aligning resources are often signals that something important is at stake.Success can lead to failure. Achieving the wrong goals—because we're ignoring reality—means we can “succeed our way into failure.”Bravery is seeing and contending with reality. The leaders who change things aren't always the ones with the best laid plans; they're the ones who respond bravely to what's real and present.Get full interviews and bonus content for free! Just join the list at DailyCreativePlus.com.Mentioned in this episode:The Brave Habit is available nowMy new book will help you make bravery a habit in your life, your leadership, and your work.

Welcome to Day 2799 of Wisdom-Trek. Thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom. Day 2799 – The Day the Pupil Stumped the Professors – Luke 3:1-38 Putnam Church Message – 01/11/2026 Luke's Account of the Good News - “The Day the Pupil Stumped the Professors.”    Last week was the first week of 2026. We explored the third and final story of Jesus's childhood. We will explore “The Day the Pupil Stumped the Professors.”  Today, we will investigate a prophet who was unmatched in all history, the forerunner of Jesus Christ, in a message titled “The Greatest Mortal Who Ever Died.” Our Core verses for this week are Luke 3:1-38, found on page 1593 of your Pew Bibles. Since this is a long passage and there is a lot to cover, I will include many of the verses during the message.  Opening Prayer Gracious and holy God, we come before You today not to be entertained, not to be affirmed by the world, but to be shaped by Your truth. You are the God who speaks in the wilderness, who calls Your servants when the times are dark, and who prepares hearts for the coming of Christ. As we open Your Word, strip away our need for approval, our fear of standing apart, and our temptation to measure faithfulness by success. Give us ears to hear, hearts willing to repent, and courage to live differently for Your glory. Prepare us, O Lord, as John prepared the way— that Christ may be clearly seen among us today. We ask this in the name of Jesus, the Lamb of God and Savior of the world. Amen. Introduction: When God's Best Doesn't Look Like Success We live in a culture that worships success. Success is measured in numbers—attendance, followers, influence, platforms, budgets, and visibility. We admire what is polished, efficient, impressive, and scalable. If something grows quickly and looks professional, we assume God must be blessing it. And if it struggles, suffers, or fails—well, we quietly wonder what went wrong. That mindset has seeped into the church. We speak of ministries being relevant, which often means marketable. We talk about impact in terms of reach. We measure faithfulness by results. And we subtly assume that if God is truly at work, it will look powerful, admired, and upwardly mobile. Then Luke introduces us to John the Baptizer. John doesn't fit any of our categories. He doesn't go where the people are; he goes where they aren't. He doesn't dress to attract; he dresses to repel. He doesn't soften his message; he sharpens it. He doesn't protect his influence; he surrenders it. And he doesn't end his life honored—he ends it executed. And yet Jesus will later say of him: “I tell you, of all who have ever lived, none is greater than John.” (Luke 7:28, NLT) That's a shocking statement. Not Moses. / Not David. / Not Elijah. / Not Isaiah. The greatest mortal who ever lived—and ever died—was a wilderness prophet who never performed a miracle, never held office, never wrote a book, never founded a movement, and never lived to see the results of his ministry. Luke chapter 3 forces us to confront a hard truth: God defines greatness very differently from the way we do. Main...

Mastering the Tape: Strategies for High-Volume Note InvestingWelcome to a special edition of Note Night in America! It is hard to believe that 2026 is already nearly a sixth of the way through. Time flies when deals are crossing your plate, and tonight we are diving deep into a massive new "tape" of 1,317 owner-financed notes that just hit the market. Whether you are a seasoned pro or just getting your feet wet, the sheer volume of opportunities available right now—especially across states like Texas, Florida, and Arizona—is staggering. We are breaking down how to stop "falling in love" with a single deal and instead start bidding at scale to ensure you actually get assets under contract.Five Key Takeaways from the 1,300+ Note TapeDon't Over-Analyze the Front End: Many investors waste hours on bid work; if you spend more than 30 minutes on a tape like this, you are over-thinking it.Bidding Without Addresses: High-level sellers often "mask" addresses to protect the privacy of their portfolios; you must learn to bid based on provided AVMs and ZIP codes, with the understanding that bids can "fade" once full due diligence begins.Targeting Double-Digit Yields: For performing notes, the goal is often a 16% yield on cash flow, allowing you to pay your investors a solid 7–9% while keeping the spread.Geographic Opportunities: While Texas leads the current tape with 425 notes, surprising opportunities are popping up in places like Alaska, which has 17 notes available—the most we've ever seen there.The Power of Volume: Instead of bidding on two notes, bid on twenty; increasing your volume significantly raises your chances of successful acquisitions in a competitive market.As we prepare for our upcoming three-day workshop in Austin, the focus remains on real-world application. From leveraging AI to finding deals and raising capital, the landscape of note buying is shifting. The world has changed quite a bit in the last year, and staying updated with new marketing tactics and vendor networks for BPOs and title work is essential for success.The window to act on this current tape is small, with bids due in just 48 hours. Success in this industry isn't about finding the "perfect" note; it's about understanding the numbers, staying disciplined with your yields, and having the courage to submit offers across multiple states. If you're ready to take your portfolio to the next level, it's time to dive into the spreadsheets and start bidding. We'll see you at the top!

In this solo episode, Christina Lecuyer opens up about the internal tension so many of us feel but rarely name. The pull between the driven high achieving version of ourselves and the compassionate side that wants more ease, clarity, and alignment.Drawing from both personal experience and what she sees with clients, Christina dives into the patterns that quietly shape our lives.

Revitalizing Private Practice: Strategic Medical Marketing with Laura WoodardIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge speaks with Laura Woodard, the Founder of Grass Roots Medical Marketing, about the intensifying pressures facing independent physicians today. With corporate consolidation and administrative burdens causing an exodus of private practitioners, Laura shares her thirty years of expertise to help doctors reclaim their local authority and compete effectively with hospital-owned entities. This conversation provides a high-level roadmap for healthcare providers to bridge the gap between their clinical excellence and their digital presence, ensuring they can reach the patients who need their specialized care most.The Foundational Pillars of Patient Acquisition and RetentionSuccess in the modern medical landscape requires moving beyond traditional word-of-mouth and establishing a digital infrastructure that functions as a 24/7 patient advocate. Laura explains that a private practice's digital "front door" consists of three non-negotiable elements: a high-performing, mobile-optimized website, fully claimed and consistent online profiles, and a proactive strategy for review management. Because a staggering percentage of patients consult reviews and search results before booking, an outdated website or an incomplete Google Business Profile isn't just a minor oversight—it is a direct barrier to growth. By optimizing these touchpoints, doctors can signal credibility and accessibility, turning passive searchers into loyal patients before they even step into the office.Beyond the digital interface, the "second front door" of any practice is the front desk staff, whose interactions often dictate the tone of the entire patient experience. Laura emphasizes that marketing doesn't end when a lead is generated; it continues through every phone call and check-in procedure. High-performing practices invest in customer service training for their administrative teams, ensuring that empathy and efficiency are prioritized as much as clinical outcomes. This holistic approach ensures that the promises made by the practice's marketing are consistently fulfilled by the staff, protecting the provider's reputation and fostering a culture that naturally generates positive online feedback.For busy practitioners who are already balancing patient care with administrative duties, the transition to strategic marketing can feel overwhelming without a systematic framework. Laura introduces the "GRASS Formula"—Gauge, Recognize, Accelerate, Support, and Success—as a data-driven method to diagnose marketing weaknesses and implement sustainable improvements. By auditing website speed, heat-mapping user behavior, and automating review requests, doctors can move from a reactive "do-it-yourself" struggle to a proactive, "done-for-you" growth model. This shift allows physicians to focus on their primary mission of healing while a team of specialists manages the complexities of SEO, social media, and reputation management.About Laura Woodard:Laura Woodard is the Founder of Grass Roots Medical Marketing and a seasoned marketing strategist with over three decades of experience. Driven by her personal journey as a caregiver and her deep respect for the physician-patient relationship, she specializes in helping private practice doctors survive and thrive in an increasingly corporate healthcare environment.About Grass Roots Medical Marketing: Grass Roots Medical Marketing is a full-service marketing agency dedicated exclusively to supporting private practice physicians and small medical groups.

What if the biggest barrier to your capital campaign success is the phrase “we don't have time”?In this episode of All About Capital Campaigns, Amy Eisenstein and Andrea Kihlstedt pull back the curtain on a truth that experienced fundraising consultants see every day: organizations that prioritize real conversations with major donors outperform those that try to outsource or avoid them. Drawing from their work with nearly one hundred small and mid sized nonprofits at a time, Amy and Andrea unpack the mindset shift that separates stalled campaigns from fully funded ones.As nonprofits consider a capital campaign or feasibility study, leaders often split into two camps. Some are eager to sit down with their largest prospective donors and hear their thoughts. Others insist they are too busy running programs, managing staff, and keeping up with daily demands. Amy and Andrea challenge that assumption directly. Every leader has twenty four hours in a day. The question is not about time. It is about priority.You will hear why treating donor conversations as optional or delegating them to a consultant is a serious warning sign for campaign readiness. While there are tasks that can and should be outsourced, building relationships with top campaign prospects is not one of them. Major gift fundraising depends on authentic connection between organizational leadership and donors. When that relationship is handed off, a powerful opportunity is lost.Amy explains the Capital Campaign Pro guided feasibility study model, which equips executive directors and board members to lead strategic donor conversations themselves. Rather than sending in an outside consultant to gather feedback, leaders receive coaching, structure, role play, and debrief support so they can confidently meet with their top prospects. These early conversations take place before any formal ask, creating a lower pressure environment where leaders can listen, build trust, and gain insight into donor interests.Andrea shares a story from the early days of this model. A nonprofit leader insisted that he did not want a consultant talking to his donors. He understood that the moment of conversation was an opportunity to strengthen real relationships. Years later, that campaign remains one of the most successful they have seen, with donors giving generously and repeatedly. The reason was simple: relationships were formed and nurtured by the people closest to the mission.The episode also addresses the emotional side of major gifts. When you only have a small number of prospects capable of giving six figure gifts, the stakes feel high. Anxiety can hold leaders back. Amy and Andrea describe how coaching and preparation build confidence over time. Leaders who begin the feasibility process feeling nervous often finish it energized, surprised by how meaningful and even enjoyable the conversations have become.By the time the formal ask happens, it is no longer the first meeting. The donor has been heard. The leader has practiced. Trust has been established. That shift changes everything about a capital campaign.You will also hear Andrea outline three types of nonprofit leaders: the rare few who are excited to talk to major donors from the start, those who resist and prefer to hand fundraising to someone else, and the large group in the middle who are anxious yet willing to grow. The transformation happens in that middle group. When leaders commit to regular, thoughtful donor engagement, fundraising capacity expands long after the campaign ends.If you are planning a capital campaign, conducting a feasibility study, or trying to strengthen your major gift fundraising program, this episode offers a clear message. Sustainable campaign success begins with leaders who make time for donor relationships and treat those conversations as central to their role.For more free capital campaign resources, visit https://capitalcampaignpro.com/campaign-resources.

Today, Mardi Winder sits down with Michele Garrett, a women's life and transition coach with more than three decades of experience in guiding individuals through personal and professional growth. Their conversation centers on the unique transitions women face, especially during the “third act” of life, when careers shift, children grow up, relationships change, and opportunities arise that can feel both liberating and overwhelming.Michele shares her journey from educator and trainer to coach, emphasizing the difference between directing others and empowering them to discover their best selves. The discussion highlights the struggle many women experience with feeling stuck after years of focusing on everyone else's needs, and the challenge of learning to prioritize themselves without guilt. Michele offers insights into how identifying core values and creating space for self-reflection can help women move past old patterns and limiting beliefs. She outlines how even small changes, like scheduling moments for fun or setting healthy boundaries, can make a significant difference.Mardi and Michele explore the importance of learning to be comfortable alone, reframing the experience from being a punishment to an opportunity for growth. They stress that transitions are not about rigid goals, but about clarity, flexibility, and honoring what's truly important. Listeners are encouraged to consider what “blossoming into your best” means personally, and to take practical steps toward creating a more fulfilling life, one choice at a time.About the Guest:Michele Garrett is a women's life and transition coach, leadership mentor, and learning strategist with over 30 years of experience guiding individuals through personal and professional growth.

In this powerful episode of the Level Up + Live Podcast, host Sean Meyers sits down with business owner and entrepreneur Shelley Guthrie for an honest conversation about faith, obedience, leadership, and the unseen journey behind long-term success. Shelley recently celebrated 23 years in business, but her story is far from a smooth path. Behind the longevity are failed ventures, financial risks, hard decisions, and seasons of uncertainty that tested her resilience and her faith. In this episode, she shares what most people never see: the setbacks, the lessons learned the hard way, and the moments where trusting God became the difference between pushing forward and giving up. Listeners will hear the powerful story of a single mother who opened her first business when her daughter was just three months old, built a company while raising three children, homeschooled during the early years, and learned how to navigate the constant tension between leadership, motherhood, and personal sacrifice. Shelley also opens up about: The reality behind business failures and how to move forward without fear Why many entrepreneurs make costly decisions before seeking guidance or prayer How a simple, honest prayer life can bring clarity and peace in leadership The importance of relationships over transactions in building long-term customer loyalty What she wishes she had done differently during the busiest seasons of her life How learning to care for herself made her a better leader and mother Beyond business, Shelley shares how mission work in Haiti transformed her perspective on success, gratitude, and service. What began as a trip to help others became a calling that has impacted her family, her business, and the lives of dozens of children. Through her salon and community support, more than $250,000 has been raised over the past 12 years to support an orphanage and create opportunities for families in need. This episode is a reminder that leadership is not about titles, recognition, or growth at any cost. It is about obedience, consistency, service, and staying aligned with the purpose you are called to live out. If you are an entrepreneur, business owner, parent, or leader navigating uncertainty, pressure, or the weight of responsibility, this conversation offers both encouragement and perspective. Success is not built on perfect decisions, it is built on faith, resilience, and a willingness to grow through every season.

CPXL Season 2 • Episode 6: Genesis 36:1–37:1 – God's Sovereignty in Suffering and SuccessCPXL, or CrossPoint Extra Large, is your midweek companion to the weekend message from CrossPoint. Each episode takes a deeper dive into the Sunday sermon—exploring the text further, unpacking broader themes, and offering practical ways to live out God's Word. Designed to equip and encourage Everyday Missionaries, CPXL helps you Love God, Grow Up, Serve All, and Live Sent.This week on CPXL, we walk through Genesis 37–50 and trace the rise of Joseph—from favored son, to betrayed brother, to prisoner, to ruler in Egypt. Through betrayal, injustice, waiting, and unexpected promotion, Joseph's story reveals the steady, sovereign hand of God at work behind the scenes. We explore how God uses suffering to shape character, how faithfulness in the hidden places prepares us for greater responsibility, and how what others mean for evil, God can use for good. Joseph's life reminds us that even in seasons of delay, God is not absent—He is forming, positioning, and fulfilling His purposes in ways we often can't yet see.CrossPoint is one church in many places, reaching Kansas by catalyzing God's people to be Everyday Missionaries.Find a location near you: crosspointchurch.com/locations#CPXL #Genesis #Ishmael #BibleStudy #ChristianPodcast #CrossPointChurch

For many developers and engineering leaders, executive coaching feels like something you turn to only when things go wrong. We're trained to solve problems, push through obstacles, and rely on our own expertise. So when progress slows, the default reaction is often to work harder—not to step back and reassess. That's exactly why executive coaching can be so valuable when used intentionally. At its best, coaching isn't about fixing weaknesses. It's about uncovering blind spots, challenging assumptions, and helping capable leaders see where their habits are limiting growth. When the fit is right, coaching brings clarity and momentum. When it's wrong, it simply adds noise. About Andrew Hinkelman Andrew Hinkelman is a certified executive coach and former Chief Technology Officer who works with tech founders, CTOs, and engineering leaders to strengthen their leadership and people skills. With over 25 years of corporate experience, including 8 years as a CTO, Andrew understands firsthand the pressures technical leaders face as they move from hands-on execution to leading teams and organizations. His coaching focuses on helping leaders build trust, develop others, and stay strategic as responsibilities grow. Andrew's philosophy is simple: all professional development is personal improvement. After experiencing burnout in his own leadership journey—constantly stepping in to fix problems and being needed by everyone—he learned the value of trusting his team instead of controlling outcomes. Today, Andrew helps leaders avoid that same trap by building resilient teams, focusing on relationships, and creating environments where others can succeed. Follow Andrew on Instagram and LinkedIn. What executive coaching actually does Leadership coaching is frequently misunderstood, especially in technical environments. It's not mentoring, consulting, or performance management. Rather than providing answers, a coach helps leaders examine how they think, make decisions, and show up—particularly under pressure. This kind of perspective is difficult to gain from inside your own day-to-day context. For technical leaders, this distinction matters. Many engineers advance by being exceptional problem solvers. Over time, that strength can become a constraint. Coaching helps leaders recognize when execution, control, or perfectionism starts to limit influence, trust, and scale. At its core, this work builds awareness—and awareness is what enables meaningful change. When executive coaching is the right move Coaching isn't necessary at every stage of a career. If progress feels steady and challenges are manageable, it may not add much value. However, it becomes especially useful during moments of transition or tension, such as: Stepping into a new leadership role Navigating organizational or team change Feeling stuck despite sustained effort Noticing that familiar approaches no longer work These moments often signal that your environment has changed—but your operating model hasn't. A strong coaching relationship helps leaders adapt intentionally instead of reacting out of habit. Executive coaching for leaders in new roles New leadership roles come with unspoken expectations. Success is no longer defined purely by output, and feedback becomes less direct or less frequent. Many leaders assume they need to "get everything under control" before working with a coach. In reality, coaching is most effective when things still feel unclear. That uncertainty highlights where growth is needed—whether in communication, prioritization, delegation, or decision-making at scale. You don't need to show up polished. You need to show up honestly. What a real coaching engagement looks like One common misconception is that leadership coaching is a one-time conversation or a motivational reset. In practice, effective coaching is an ongoing engagement built around clarity, feedback, and behavior change over time. It starts with defining what success actually looks like—not in abstract terms, but in concrete outcomes that matter to you and your organization. From there, the work focuses on identifying what's getting in the way. Often, these are habits that once helped you succeed but now create friction. If they were obvious, you would have addressed them already. Many engagements begin with structured feedback to ground the work in reality. This helps align self-perception with impact and reduces guesswork. It's not about judgment—it's about accuracy. How to evaluate coaching fit Coaching is a relationship, not a transaction. Talking to multiple coaches isn't optional—it's essential. A strong indicator of fit is experiencing a real working session rather than a polished sales call. Pay attention to how the coach listens, challenges assumptions, and guides reflection. Productive discomfort is often a good sign. If you leave a session seeing a situation differently or questioning a long-held belief, growth is likely. If you leave feeling simply validated, it probably isn't. Red flags that signal a poor coaching fit Coaching is not a rescue tool for poor performance. When someone is disengaged or unwilling to grow, it rarely works. Another red flag is a coach who consistently agrees with you. Comfort feels good in the moment, but it doesn't change behavior. Effective leadership development introduces intentional, constructive friction that leads to insight. Executive coaching during burnout and plateaus Burnout often comes from effort without impact. Leaders work longer hours, take on more responsibility, and still feel stuck. Coaching can help identify a keystone goal—the one focus area that makes everything else easier. It also helps leaders stop over-investing emotional energy in things outside their control, which is a common and costly source of exhaustion in senior roles. Executive Coaching Checklist Signs coaching may help you move forward Indicators that a coach will challenge rather than placate Coaching Fit Test: One Session What a meaningful trial session should reveal How to tell if the coach will stretch your thinking Stuck or Burned Out? Find the Keystone Goal How to identify the one change that unlocks momentum A reset approach for overwhelmed leaders Conclusion Executive coaching isn't about hiring someone to give advice—it's about choosing a partner who helps you see yourself and your situation more clearly. If you're navigating change, feeling stalled, or sensing that effort isn't translating into progress, this kind of support may be less about doing more and more about seeing differently.

I am excited to share powerful insights from the latest episode of Capitalist Culture.This time, I sat down with Seth, founder of Precision Biologics and Regenerative Revival, to explore the rapidly expanding world of regenerative medicine, entrepreneurship, and leadership. His perspective on innovation, compliance, patient outcomes, and business execution is both practical and forward-looking.Here are a few highlights from our conversation.Key Lessons and Ideas:• Regenerative Medicine as a Non-Invasive AlternativeSeth explained how regenerative medicine addresses chronic and acute pain without surgery. Rather than masking pain, these therapies signal the body to heal itself, particularly in soft tissue injuries and degenerative conditions.• Stem Cell Therapy in the United StatesThere is a common misconception that patients must travel overseas for stem cell treatments. Seth clarified that umbilical cord-derived products in the United States are ethically sourced from birthing tissue and processed under strict tissue-bank and FDA guidelines. High-quality care is available domestically.• Umbilical Cord vs Autologous Stem CellsSeth described why younger umbilical cord stem cells can be more effective than using a patient's own tissue. At the same time, he emphasized compliance and responsible education, since these therapies are not FDA-approved and must be clearly communicated as experimental.• Education as the Growth EngineA major barrier in regenerative medicine is awareness. Seth uses seminars, in-home services, and hands-on clinic support to educate patients and physicians. Precision Biologics provides not only products, but training, operational systems, and marketing strategy to help clinics succeed.• Business Discipline in MedicineMany physicians struggle not with medicine, but with business. Seth highlighted the importance of marketing, sales conversations around cash pay procedures, and compliant systems that protect patient trust while enabling scale.Industry Curiosities and Forward-Looking Themes:• Capital Flow into Regenerative MedicineThere is significant investor interest flowing into research and startups across stem cells, exosomes, peptides, and hormone replacement therapy. Seth believes we are early in a major growth cycle.• Business in a Box ModelHis upcoming venture focuses on patient access and outcomes through a scalable, systems-driven approach. The emphasis is on clear goals, measurable improvement, and consistent patient feedback.• Expansion into Telehealth and Hormone OptimizationSeth is launching a telehealth platform and expanding into peptide and hormone replacement therapy, with a focus on improving healthspan, not just lifespan.Leadership and Personal Reflections:• From Door to Door Sales to Industry BuilderSeth began selling meat door to door at 19. That early exposure to rejection and persuasion shaped his entrepreneurial edge. He believes sales is the foundation of solving higher ticket problems.• Mentorship MattersLooking back, Seth wishes he had sought mentors earlier. Today he invests heavily in mentoring younger professionals so they can avoid common mistakes and compress their learning curve.• Fulfillment Over MoneyHe shared a shift from chasing income to pursuing impact, especially as a father. Success for him now is measured by patient outcomes, provider growth, and the liveSend a textConnect with Kip on LinkedInhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/kipknippel/Watch Bite-Sized Clips on YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/@capitalistculture/shorts

As biologics grow more complex, cell line development remains a key driver of speed, yield, and manufacturability. What was once a technical milestone is now a competitive differentiator, directly impacting time to Investigational New Drug (IND), cost of goods, and long-term scalability. In this episode of Off Script, we spoke with Brett Verstak, director of cell line development at Abzena, to discuss how advanced Chinese hamster ovary (CHO)-based platforms, glutamine synthetase (GS) knockout systems, automation, and AI-driven workflows are accelerating clone selection and reducing downstream risk. The conversation explores persistent bottlenecks in hard-to-express proteins, the value of integrated upstream development models, and how smarter platform design is helping drug developers move complex biologics to the clinic faster.

Brad Evans and Pat Boyle explain why last night's All-Star Game was a much needed victory for the NBA, to save what had been a brutal handful of days for the league. Plus, what can the NBA do to capitalize on this momentum, does Victor Wembanyama now have a case as the most marketable player in the league and why you are correct to rip the league for their pathetic dunk contest. Then, we react to the Miami Dolphins decision to move on from Tyreek Hill after four seasons with the organization, and debate not only where the ideal next destination is, but also if he is actually worth the risk at this point in his career. Then, what's next for Tua Tagovailoa and why your expectations for the 2026 Dolphins should be lower than ever. The hour wraps by speaking on the most notable College Basketball news throughout the last 24 hours, as Kansas State fires Head Coach Jerome Tang for cause. Additionally, our thoughts on if this decision was justified and why there is one obvious candidate to replace Tang, that needs to be the top priority.

Why Spiritual Discipline MattersScripture: 1 Corinthians 9:27—“But I discipline my body and keep it under control,…”Accept Jesus Today: https://youtube.com/shorts/bIwAUlz7Kg4?si=BNOhv44iLWIR4eVJIf you would like to accept Jesus into your heart today, pray this simple prayer:****God, I have sinned against You. I believe that Jesus is Your Son, who died and rose for my sake. I ask you to forgive me for my sin. I place my trust in You for salvation. I receive you as my Lord and Savior. In Jesus' name, I am forgiven! Amen!"****Congratulations! You are now a child of the most high. John 1:12 says, But to all who did receive him, who believed in his name, he gave the right to become children of God. If you just prayed this prayer to receive Jesus Christ as your Savior, I welcome you to the family of God.

Pretty much everything feels intense right now—the world, our jobs, finances. I always say that action is the antidote to anxiety, but you can't take action if you're wildly overwhelmed. Today, we're gonna talk about ways to hit the restart button, to clear the screen, and to get a real fresh start. This isn't gonna be positive platitudes and bullshit. This is all grounded in the real world, it's all free, it's all backed by science, and it's all gonna make you feel better instantly—without asking you to ignore what's actually going on or gas light yourself.

In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Mat Lewczenko — entrepreneur, coach, and author of The Entrepreneur's Regret — to unpack what it feels like to be winning on paper while quietly losing at home. Mat shares his story of growing up as a Polish political refugee, building success through grit and discipline, and eventually finding himself at the top of his professional game… but emotionally empty, disconnected, and on the verge of self-sabotage.   We talk about the silent epidemic facing high-performing entrepreneurs — entrepreneurial drift — and what it takes to reclaim your nights, weekends, relationships, and sanity. This episode is a wake-up call for any man chasing more while feeling less.     Timeline Summary [0:00] The concept of "Rock Top" — succeeding outwardly while unraveling inwardly [1:41] Mat's family escaping Poland as political refugees before martial law [3:02] Growing up in an immigrant household built on pride, discipline, and ownership [10:10] Early lessons on earning what you want and respecting what you own [17:47] The tension between giving kids a better life without raising them soft [24:58] Mat's pivot from theater professor to real estate entrepreneur [30:29] The breaking point — winning at work while losing at home [31:31] The porch conversation where his wife said, "You don't get to do this" [35:29] Realizing he couldn't even name his core values [36:33] The North Star Values process and regaining alignment [40:52] The three pillars — Leadership, Love, and Life [41:30] Why being "all in" where you are eliminates guilt and fragmentation [45:28] The danger of climbing the wrong mountain [47:06] Why you must go back through the clouds to choose a new summit [54:28] Small hinges swing big doors — 15 intentional minutes a day [58:32] Presence over presents — how to win back connection at home     Five Key Takeaways Rock Top is real — you can be crushing it professionally while quietly collapsing personally.

Actor, creator, and entrepreneur Luke Cook joins Gabby Reece for an honest, funny, and deeply reflective conversation about creativity, rejection, faith, and building a meaningful life.Luke shares his unconventional journey from growing up in Australia as the youngest of five, to chasing comedy and acting in Hollywood — including seven years of near-constant auditions with little visible success. He speaks candidly about rejection, identity, and why loving the craft itself matters more than external validation.The conversation moves fluidly between creativity and discipline, faith and doubt, ego and humility. Luke reflects on fatherhood, marriage, and the grounding power of family — as well as the importance of play, presence, and not taking success (or failure) too seriously.They also explore Luke's entrepreneurial ventures, including building a “no-weird-stuff” protein shake brand, creative coaching for founders, and using humor to communicate without shame. Throughout, Luke emphasizes curiosity, integrity, and joy as essential ingredients for longevity — in work and in life.This episode is about staying in the game, trusting the process, and remembering that success isn't a destination — it's how you live along the way.⏱️ CHAPTERS- Intro & meeting Luke- Growing up the youngest of five- Early love of performance and comedy- Discipline, training, and loving the craft- Moving to LA & chasing the dream- Years of auditions and rejection- Ego, ambition, and humility- Faith, doubt, and finding a north star- Marriage, fatherhood, and family grounding- Creativity vs. external validation- Building a values-driven business- Content, comedy, and honest communication- Relationships, partnership, and play- What success really looks like- Staying joyful in uncertainty- Closing reflections WHAT STAYED WITH MELoving the work matters more than loving the outcome.Rejection doesn't end careers — quitting does.Discipline follows passion.When you care deeply enough, showing up becomes natural.Ego needs humility to stay healthy.Confidence fuels performance; humility keeps you grounded.Family changes the definition of success.Responsibility, presence, and play become the real markers.Faith doesn't eliminate doubt.It gives you somewhere to return when things feel unstable.Joy is a choice.Especially when the path forward isn't clear.WHY IT'S WORTH SLOWING DOWN FOR THISWe live in a culture that celebrates instant success and overnight wins — often ignoring the long, invisible seasons of work that come before them.Luke's story is a reminder that staying in the game matters.That creativity doesn't expire.And that meaning is built through patience, integrity, and connection — not applause.If you're navigating uncertainty, rejection, or a season of waiting, this conversation offers perspective worth sitting with.FIND LUKELuke CookInstagram & TikTok: https://www.instagram.com/thelukecookProtein brand: https://getshakewell.comFOR MORE ON GABBYInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/gabbyreece/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@gabbyreeceofficialYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@GabbyReeceThe Gabby Reece Show Podcast: Available on all major platformsEpisode sponsors:Get up to 30% off OneSkin with the code GABBYREECE at https://www.oneskin.co/GABBYREECE #oneskinpodDon't let another year go by feeling less than your best.

In this episode of The Addicted Mind, Duane speaks with Dr. Nima Rahmani, a former chiropractor turned emotional health educator. Dr. Nima shares his profound journey from "success on paper" to a total relational breakdown that forced him to confront his own deep-seated patterns of anxious attachment and fawning.They dive deep into the concept of becoming "trigger-proof," the hidden cost of people-pleasing, and why "shame alchemization" is the secret to a truly authentic life. Whether you are struggling with addiction, burnout, or toxic relationship cycles, this episode offers a roadmap for moving from unconscious reactivity to conscious leadership.Key Topics & Chapters[01:32] The Wake-Up Call: Dr. Nima discusses how a crisis in his personal life and a brush with the legal system forced him to look past his professional success and address his defensive reactivity.[03:54] The Cost of Fawning: A breakdown of the "Fawn" response—how suppressing your truth to appease others creates a "bottomless pit" of resentment and physical inflammation.[10:14] Defining the Fawn Response: Dr. Nima provides a powerful analogy of how children learn to appease "predators" (caregivers) to survive, and how that evolves into a destructive adult relationship strategy.[14:41] Somatic Impact: Exploring the link between unresolved emotional wounds, fawning, and chronic physical issues like autoimmune diseases and inflammation.[21:00] Loving the Shadow: Why true self-love isn't about liking your "best" parts, but about "unshaming" the parts of yourself you've tried to kill off or hide.[27:12] Success vs. Intimacy: Why high-achieving entrepreneurs often crush it in business but fail in relationships, and how the "push energy" of success can actually block emotional safety.[47:26] The Worthiness Inquiry: Dr. Nima shares a foundational question for listeners: "I am only worthy of love when..."[52:00] The Heartbeat Realization: A moving story about hearing his son's heartbeat and rediscovering the concept of inherent worthiness.Key Quotes"Shame alchemization is the secret to being a human... finding these embarrassing, unacceptable parts of us and really looking to understand them." — Dr. Nima Rahmani"Fawning is when you freeze a part of you in an interaction... you freeze your truth and then you perform niceness." — Dr. Nima Rahmani"One size fits all is not real. It's not real for baseball caps, and it's not real for recovery plans." — Dr. Nima Rahmani (Note: This is a callback to the theme of individualized healing)"The path to self-love is really about loving your shadow." — Dr. Nima RahmaniUnderstanding the Survival ResponsesTo better understand where "Fawning" fits into our biological safety system, it helps to see it alongside the more commonly known stress responses:Fight: Aggression and boundary-setting.Flight: Avoiding or escaping the threat.Freeze: Numbing out or becoming paralyzed.Fawn: Appeasing the threat to ensure safety.Resources MentionedThe Attachment Style Quiz: Discover if you are anxious, avoidant, or disorganized.
