HEADLINE: SpaceX Starship Success, Private Space Dominance, and Government Inaction GUEST NAME: Bob Zimmerman SUMMARY: Bob Zimmerman describes SpaceX's Starship Super Heavy 11th test flight as "remarkable," highlighting successful booster reuse and controlled re-entry despite missing tiles. He asserts that private enterprise, like SpaceX, runs the "real American space program" aimed at Mars colonization, outpacing government efforts. In contrast, European projects like Callisto, proposed in 2015, demonstrate government "inaction." JPL is also laying off staff following the cancellation of the Mars sample return project, forcing organizations like Lowell Observatory to seek private funding. 1958

Have you ever hit a milestone you worked your entire life for only to feel absolutely nothing? We often spend so much of our time and attention focused on our future selves that we forget how to live in the present. But it's not your fault! We were handed this invisible checklist when we were all kids. We're supposed to get a good education and a good job, buy that house, get married, have those kids, and live that dream life. Connect with Abagail⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ⁠⁠⁠⁠  ⁠⁠⁠⁠All the Links!⁠⁠⁠ We all thought we would feel a certain way if we did what society said would make us successful. But none of these things actually change who we are. It doesn't change the emotions we experience in the moment. It just makes us compare ourselves to this inconceivable, impossible representation of what success looks like.    Episode Highlights  The One Thing I'm Learning About Success and Life Right Now [0:05:29]   What I Learned When I Finally Slowed Down [0:13:21]  How We Lose Ourselves Trying to Follow Someone Else's Path [0:20:48]  Why Success Isn't Going to Make You Feel Safe [0:22:41] What It Might Look Like to Put Yourself Out There In New Ways [0:26:27] We've created a culture in which we are rewarding the outcome, not the effort.

Together, they dive deep into the topic of limiting beliefs—those internal barriers that hold women back from creating their best, most fulfilling lives. Laurie Reynoldson is a sought-after podcaster, coach, speaker and the founder of the School of Midlife®.  After an award-winning 20-year career as an attorney, Laurie left the law when she was on the verge of joining the partnership at a large super-regional firm, the job she'd worked her entire career to land.

Which is why she's made it her mission to provide women with the tools, information, support and community to thrive in midlife…and skip the midlife crisis.Timestamps:00:03:40 – Limiting beliefs in midlife00:04:46 – Retreat story & best life00:10:23 – Internal editor, handling negativity00:13:43 – Building belief, validation00:15:16 – Power of community00:17:24 – Laurie's career backstory00:24:29 – Courage & happiness00:29:08 – Happiness & fulfillment00:30:11 – Where to find LaurieTo get Laurie's secret podcast and other free resources, go to: https://schoolofmidlife.com/starthereTo register for Dr. Li's next Re-Energize Your Home Challenge to declutter your home, go to https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/challengeTo sign up for the Waitlist for the Simply Productive Program, go to https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/SPFor more information on the Make Time for Success podcast, visit: https://www.maketimeforsuccesspodcast.comGain Access to Dr. Christine Li's Free Resource Library -- 12 downloadable tools and templates to help you bypass the impulse to procrastinate: https://procrastinationcoach.mykajabi.com/freelibraryTo work with Dr. Li on a weekly basis in her coaching and accountability program, register for The Success Lab here: https://www.procrastinationcoach.com/labConnect with Us!Dr. Christine LiWebsite: https://www.procrastinationcoach.comFacebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/procrastinationcoachInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/procrastinationcoach/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@procrastinationcoachThe Success Lab: https://maketimeforsuccesspodcast.com/lab     Laurie ReynoldsonWebsite: https://www.schoolofmidlife.comPodcast: https://www.schoolofmidlife.com/podcastInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/schoolofmidlifeLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/laurie-reynoldson-b28b921a/

Renee Troughton: From Lower-Order to Higher-Order Values in Scrum 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. "If you, as a senior leader, demonstrate vulnerability, it creates real magic in an organization where others can open up and be their authentic self." Renee defines success for Scrum Masters through deeply human values: integrity, holding her truth, being compassionately authentic, caring, open, honest, listening, and vulnerable. She emphasizes that vulnerability as a senior leader creates transformative magic in organizations, allowing others to bring their authentic selves to work. Drawing on Byron Katie's "Loving What Is" and Frederick Laloux's "Reinventing Organizations," Renee explains that many corporate organizations focus on lower-order values like results and performance, while more autonomous organizations prioritize higher-order values rooted in the heart. When having conversations with people, Renee connects with them as human beings first—not rushing to business if someone is struggling personally. Success means seeing people completely for who they are, not as resources to be changed or leveraged. The foundation for collaboration, empowerment, and autonomy is trust, respect, and safety. Renee emphasizes that without these fundamental values in place, everything else implodes. She demonstrates how vulnerability, active listening, and accepting people where they are creates the fertile ground for successful teams and organizations. Self-reflection Question: Do you demonstrate vulnerability as a leader, creating space for others to bring their authentic selves to work, or do you hide behind a professional facade that prevents genuine human connection? Featured Retrospective Format for the Week: Themed Retrospectives (Monopoly, Sports, Current Events) "It gave a freshness to it. And it gave almost like a livelihood or a joyfulness to it as an activity as well." Renee recommends themed retrospectives like the Monopoly Retro or sports-themed formats that use current events or cultural references (aka metaphor retrospectives). While working at a consultancy, they would theme retrospectives every week around different topics—football, news events, or various scenarios—using collages of pictures showing different emotions (upset, angry, happy). Team members would identify with feelings and reframe their week within the theme's context, such as "it was a rough game" or "we didn't score enough goals." The brilliance of this approach is covering the same retrospective questions while bringing freshness, creativity, and joyfulness to the activity. These metaphorical formats allow teams to verbalize things that aren't easily expressible in structured formats, triggering different perspectives and creative thinking. The format stays consistent while feeling completely new, maintaining engagement while avoiding retrospective fatigue. [The Scrum Master Toolbox Podcast Recommends]

The Hidden Key to Sustainable Growth High achievers are taught to "raise the bar" — to outdo their best performance and push harder for the next goal. But what if that approach is actually what's keeping you stuck in cycles of leadership burnout, frustration, and exhaustion? The problem is that the "raise the bar" model only focuses on your ceiling — your best. It completely ignores your floor. It puts all the focus on having to overachieve what you've already done without recognizing the biggest opportunity in front of you. But what happens after years of operating that way? At some point, the effort it takes to beat your best starts to outweigh the return. You're putting in more hours, more thought, more energy, but the results start to flatten out. You might hit the goal, but it costs you peace of mind, presence, or health to maintain it. In this episode, Blake shares a concept that will completely shift how you approach growth – something that has helped create sustainable success and inspire personal growth for executives. She explains why the more you can shorten the depth & duration of your most challenging moments, the higher everything else rises. And it rises with far less effort. You'll learn how to identify & remove the hidden misalignments that drain your energy and slow your growth and discover how to create more momentum, impact & peace without pushing harder or "doing more." Because when you raise your floor, you're not just increasing your capacity. You're reclaiming your energy, your clarity & your peace of mind.   Episode Highlights   The Problem with "Raising the Bar"  [01:15] - Why the traditional achievement model leads to burnout  [02:00] - What happens after years of pushing harder  [02:45] - The hidden cost of always beating your best   The Power of Raising Your Floor  [03:30] - Why your lowest lows determine your long-term success  [04:15] - How sustainable success comes from minimizing friction  [05:00] - Research on burnout & productivity loss in the workplace   What Stops Us from Raising the Floor  [06:30] - The wrong questions we ask when we feel stuck  [07:15] - Shifting from "what's in my way" to "what do I need to operate at my best"  [08:00] - Real coaching example: identifying energy drains in 10 minutes A Real-Time Coaching Story  [08:45] - How one leader transformed her relationship with her boss  [09:30] - Using your body & emotions as data, not judgment  [11:00] - The pattern of misalignment & how it shows up everywhere   How to Start Raising Your Floor Today  [12:30] - A simple exercise to identify your top 2-3 energy drains  [13:30] - Recognizing the difference between flow & friction  [14:15] - How small shifts create powerful change   Powerful Quotes "Your long-term success, growth, and well-being are not determined by your highest highs. They're actually determined by your lowest lows." —Blake Schofield "Our emotions and what's happening in our energy, they're just data. They're not showing you a weakness in who you are or a judgment of who you are. They're just information your body is sending you." —Blake Schofield "Most people spend their lives trying to beat their best. But leaders who truly thrive learn to minimize their worst and optimize based on how they're naturally wired to thrive." —Blake Schofield   Resources Mentioned Drained at the end of the day & want more presence in your life?

Join Marvin Cash and Mac Brown on another segment of Casting Angles on The Articulate Fly fishing podcast as they tackle the technical challenges of North Carolina's extremely low water conditions during delayed harvest season. Mac Brown, veteran guide and casting instructor, shares essential leader construction techniques for technical low-water presentations, breaking down common misconceptions about leader design and energy transfer. Learn why adding tippet to store-bought leaders creates presentation problems, and discover Mac's proven formula for building effective 20-foot leaders using stiff monofilament like Maxima Chameleon—10 feet of 15-pound butt section, 5 feet of 12-pound, 2.5 feet of 0X, then your tippet of choice. Mac explains why modern nylon doesn't require complex tapered sections like old gut leaders did, debunks the "leader hinge" myth and reveals why he keeps the same leader on his rod for the entire fly line's lifespan. The discussion covers critical low-water stealth tactics including staying out of the water entirely, lengthening leaders for distance and using lighter tippets down to 7X and 8X nylon for superior knot strength over fluorocarbon in small diameters. With DH season underway and freestone streams running low across the Smokies, these expert adjustments will help you adapt your approach and connect with selective trout in challenging autumn conditions.Related ContentS7, Ep 41: Navigating High Water: Strategies for Success with Mac BrownS6, Ep 130: Casting in Color: Mac Brown's Fall Fly Fishing StrategiesS7, Ep 20: Practice Makes Perfect: Mac Brown on Mastering Casting TechniquesS6, Ep 141: Mastering Cold Weather Fly Fishing with Mac BrownAll Things Social MediaFollow Mac on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter.Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and YouTube.Support the Show Shop on AmazonBecome a Patreon PatronSubscribe to the PodcastSubscribe to the podcast in the podcatcher of your choice.Advertise on the PodcastIs our community a good fit for your brand?

Bob Proctor shares timeless wisdom on purpose, goals, and growth. He explains why goals must align with your life's purpose and why the “how” and resources are irrelevant at the start.

What if everything you believed about luck was wrong? In this perspective-shifting episode, I sit down with Dr. Christian Busch—professor at USC, researcher, and author of The Serendipity Mindset—to explore the idea that luck isn't just something that happens to us. It's something we can actively create. Whether you've felt stuck, unlucky, or just waiting for your big break, this conversation will make you rethink how you move through the world. Dr. Busch explains how the most “lucky” people are often just the most attuned—they notice opportunities others miss, ask better questions, and take action on the unexpected. He breaks down how small behavioral shifts—like using “hooks” in everyday conversations—can turn random encounters into real opportunities. And if you're more introverted? Good news: cultivating serendipity isn't about being loud or flashy. It's about being open, curious, and present. We also explore how busyness, fear of rejection, and autopilot thinking can block you from seeing the luck that's already around you—and what you can do to change that.

In this episode of The Russell Brunson Show, I sit down with Ryan Lee (My buddy from elementary school that I'd lost touch with for over 20 years!), who built a wildly successful coaching business around landscape lighting (Yes… Landscape lighting!!) by following the Expert Secrets framework exactly as it's taught. From posting his first awkward Facebook Live while locked in a hotel room, to closing high-ticket clients and building recurring programs, Ryan's story is a real-world INSANE example of what happens when you take imperfect action and trust the process!! He went from running a service business and undercharging for his work to finding confidence, raising his prices, and turning his niche expertise into a movement. We break down the mindset shifts, the marketing strategy, and the business model behind it all…And how these same principles can work in any industry. Key Highlights: The moment he stopped waiting to be confident and started publishing anyway. How going live on Facebook every day built a loyal audience and filled his first beta high-ticket program that ultimately catapulted his business to success. Why charging more created better results for his clients and freedom for him! The exact framework he followed to turn one ‘niche' skill into a scalable, purpose-driven business that truly is his calling! If you've ever wondered whether your idea is “too small” or your audience “too niche,” Ryan's story will show you what's possible when you take consistent action and follow the right playbook!

Are you defining project success the wrong way? Most project managers are — at least according to PMI's Dave Garrett. Project Management Happy Hour hosts Kim Essendrup and Kate Anderson sit down with Dave — Senior Advisor at the Project Management Institute (PMI) and co-founder of ProjectManagement.com — for a frank and real conversation about PMI's new definition of project success to talk about how realistic it is, and what it means for the future of our profession. For decades, project success was judged by the “iron triangle” — scope, schedule, and budget. But PMI has officially redefined it: “A successful project is one that delivers value worth the effort and expense.” Dave explains how this updated definition shifts the focus from checking boxes to delivering outcomes that truly matter — and how every PM can start measuring success through value creation instead of rigid constraints. The discussion digs into PMI's new M.O.R.E. framework — a practical mindset for modern project leaders: M – Manage Perceptions: Build trust and alignment with stakeholders. O – Own Success: Don't just deliver; ensure the value lands. R – Relentlessly Reassess: Constantly re-evaluate priorities and adapt to change. E – Expand Perspective: See the bigger picture across business strategy, customers, and society. Dave also shares lessons from his early startup days building Gantthead.com, the dot-com crash, and how those lessons apply in today's AI-driven project world. You'll hear how the rise of automation is making project management more human, pushing PMs to lead through empathy, influence, and strategic insight rather than process checklists. If you've ever struggled with the question, “Was my project really a success?”  this episode will give you a fresh, empowering way to answer it. Key Takeaways PMI's official definition of project success now centers on value, not just time, cost, and scope. The M.O.R.E. mindset helps PMs evolve beyond administrators into strategic leaders. AI will augment, not replace, project managers — freeing them to focus on human connection and business impact. “Success” is contextual: a delayed project that delivers exceptional value can still be a win.

This is a preview of a premium Design Better episode. Visit our Substack to hear the whole interview, for bonus content, and more: ⁠https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/fitz-and-the-tantrums With the 150th official episode of Design Better, we've got something special for you. For many of us, if we haven't had creative success by our 40's, we feel like we may have missed the boat. But Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick of Fitz and the Tantrums didn't achieve pop star status until he was well into his 40's, and now that he's in his 50's he feels like he's just getting started. Haven't heard of Fitz and the Tantrums? Yes you have...their hit single "HandClap" has rocked stadiums at sporting events around the world. In our conversation, Fitz reveals how the band prototypes their live performances and why constraint has been essential to their creative evolution. He talks to us about the parallels of songwriting and product design, the importance of reading the room—whether it's 50 or 50,000 people—and why the best performances, like the best designs, create space for the audience to become co-creators. Fitz also opens up about how even after achieving his creative dreams, there was an emptiness that he struggled with, and where he found true happiness. Bio Michael “Fitz” Fitzpatrick (born Michael Sean Fitzpatrick on July 21, 1970) is a French-American musician, singer, and songwriter best known as the frontman and creative force behind the indie pop and neo-soul band Fitz and the Tantrums. Born in Montluçon, France and raised in Los Angeles, Fitzpatrick studied vocal music in high school and later attended the California Institute of the Arts, where he explored experimental film. Before forming his own band, he worked behind the scenes as a sound engineer, collaborating with producer Mickey Petralia. In 2008, Fitzpatrick bought a used church organ for fifty dollars and wrote “Breakin' the Chains of Love” that same night — the song that would inspire the creation of Fitz and the Tantrums. As lead vocalist and keyboardist, he helped the group rise quickly with their debut album Pickin' Up the Pieces (2010), which drew praise for its blend of Motown soul, indie pop, and modern energy. Subsequent albums such as More Than Just a Dream and their self-titled 2016 release, featuring the breakout hit “HandClap,” cemented the band's place in the modern pop landscape.

In this episode of the Medical Sales Podcast, Samuel sits down with medtech strategist and creator Omar M. Khateeb to unpack how startups, reps, and leaders can win attention and turn it into revenue in 2025. Omar shares why LinkedIn is still the #1 starting point, when to expand to X, Meta, and YouTube, and how senior leaders at brands like Intuitive and Zimmer use storytelling to engineer markets. They dig into what actually gets attention (novelty, unpredictability, depth), why “goals” matter less than the systems behind them, and how to think about changing minds through desire, social proof, and early adopters. You'll hear practical content rhythms (start with 3 posts/week), ways to leverage AI without sounding generic, and how founders and reps can build trust with transparency, consistency, and real value. They also hit the creator mindset: stop over planning, start publishing, seek inspiration, and measure what moves the business not just likes. If you're trying to break in, become a top performer, or scale a medtech brand, this conversation gives you the playbook to create, engage, and convert.
