Podcasts about sustainable

In this episode, Tom Vasko, Chief Executive Officer of Newman Memorial Hospital, shares how his organization is strengthening rural healthcare through workforce investment, telehealth expansion, and regional partnerships. He discusses keeping care local, aligning culture with strategy, and building a sustainable, mission driven health system for the future.

Perhaps we need to stop celebrating resilience. Because we may actually be celebrating toxic resilience. Hear me out. In the corporate world, telling a woman she is resilient is often just a polite way of saying, “We are going to give you an impossible workload, broken systems, and no support… and we expect you to smile through it.”  In fact, if you're complimenting my resilience, I may question if you were complicit in building and upholding the systems that made my resilience mandatory when yours was not.  Somewhere along the way, resilience became high praise for women in leadership. But too often it's code for “Figure it out, we're not going to fix this.” Women are expected to absorb dysfunction, manage emotional labor, navigate bias, and hold everything together without complaint. When resilience becomes a requirement instead of a choice, it stops being empowering and starts being extractive. The truth is, many women develop extraordinary resilience not because they lack capability, but because they are operating inside systems that demand more from them than from their male counterparts. They are expected to be competent but warm, assertive but not threatening, and ambitious but endlessly accommodating. So they adapt. They endure. They carry. And then they're praised for how well they survive conditions that were never equitable to begin with. But endurance is not the same as leadership strength.  Endurance drains creativity, dulls voice, and quietly normalizes what should actually be challenged. Resilience is an important skill, but it should not be constantly taxed. Real leadership isn't about how much you can tolerate - it's about what you're willing to transform. Instead of asking women to be more resilient, we should be asking why the system requires so much resilience in the first place. Sustainable leadership includes boundaries, advocacy, and the courage to disrupt what isn't working. Sometimes the most powerful move a woman can make isn't proving she can handle it. It's refusing to carry what was never hers to hold.

It was understanding how nervous system overload was driving his symptoms.This conversation is especially relevant for high-functioning women who:•Feel exhausted despite normal lab work•Have been told “everything looks fine”•Push harder when their bodies push back•Feel like their system can't handle stress the way it used toIn this episode, we discuss:•What nervous system dysregulation actually means•Why symptoms feel intensely physical•Why over-efforting, biohacking, and pushing through often backfire•The emotional side of recovery•How to rebuild capacity safely and sustainablyFor women navigating midlife, perimenopause, hormone shifts, and high responsibility loads, this conversation offers both validation and strategy. When the nervous system doesn't feel safe, hormones, sleep, blood sugar, and energy regulation become significantly harder.Healing isn't about doing more.

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.

What happens when pastors care for everyone else—but neglect their own soul? In this episode, Loren talks with Bill and Kristi Gaultiere, founders of Soul Shepherding and co-authors of Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You. Together, they explore why emotional health is not optional for Christian leaders—and why empathy begins with receiving God's love, not just offering it to others. Drawing from decades of experience in psychology, spiritual direction, and ministry leadership, the Gaultieres unpack the difference between empathy and indulgence, how unaddressed shame leads to burnout, and why pastors must have a safe place to be listened to and prayed for. They also discuss: Why emotions are gifts—but terrible masters The danger of processing unresolved wounds from the platform Burnout warning signs every pastor should recognize Compassion fatigue and isolation in ministry Why leaders must receive pastoral care, not just provide it This conversation is a candid and practical guide for church leaders who want their ministry to flow from healing and authenticity rather than exhaustion and performance.   Bill is a psychologist (PhD) and ordained pastor and Kristi is a licensed professional counselor (PsyD). Together they lead Soul Shepherding, which is a nonprofit ministry to help pastors, leaders, churches, and others to go deeper with Jesus in emotional health and loving leadership. They lead immersive retreats that integrate Jesus-centered psychology and spiritual formation. Participants have the option to earn a Certificate in Spiritual Direction to improve their relationship skills and earn side income as a spiritual director or coach. They are authors of a number of soul care books, including Journey of the Soul, which was #1 on Amazon in Christian Counseling, and Healthy Feelings, Thriving Faith. Their newest book is Deeply Loved: Receiving and Reflecting God's Great Empathy for You. Bill and Kristi have provided over 100,000 hours helping clients in therapy or spiritual direction. They were also personally mentored by Dallas and Jane Willard for many years. They have developed a unique approach to spiritual direction that is informed by their Jesus-centered psychology. Their two-year Certificate in Spiritual Direction training program is a hybrid of in person retreats and online training (or it can be completed 100% online) and currently has over 150 students participating.    Mentioned Resources:

Send a text“Busy” is one of the most dangerous words in medicine.It sounds positive. Reassuring, even. When a practice is busy, it feels productive. Schedules are full. Phones are ringing. The waiting room is packed. From the outside—and often from the inside—it looks like success.But over the years, we've seen something very different play out behind the scenes.Some of the busiest practices we work with are also the most fragile. Margins are thin. Physicians are exhausted. Cash flow feels unpredictable. Decision-making becomes reactive. And despite all that activity, there's a quiet sense that the practice isn't as healthy as it should be.That's because “busyness” is not the same thing as sustainability.Today, we're talking about the numbers that reveal whether your practice is actually healthy. Not just productive. Not just active. But resilient, stable, and built to last.Please Follow or Subscribe to get new episodes delivered to you as soon as they drop!

What if the key to better physical health isn't more discipline, more workouts, or another restrictive plan, but strengthening your faith muscle?In this highly motivating episode, I sit down with Ashley Perry Lambert, a faith-based health coach who helps women pursue sustainable wellness by working within the lives they already have. Instead of asking women to add more to their routines, Ashley teaches them how to identify the root of their excuses, realign their habits with their faith, and achieve health through systems that already exist in their daily schedules.Through powerful coaching examples, Ashley demonstrates how faith can become the foundation for physical health without overwhelm, guilt, or burnout. This conversation is especially encouraging for women who feel stuck in the cycle of starting over, or who believe wellness requires more time, energy, or perfection than they can give.This episode is a reminder that lasting health doesn't come from trying harder. It comes from living more intentionally.In This Episode, We Discuss:What it means to build your faith muscle and how it directly impacts physical healthWhy most women's wellness plans fail and what to do insteadHow to identify the real root behind common health excusesUsing systems and routines you already have to support sustainable wellnessWhy adding more rules, workouts, or plans often backfiresHow faith-based coaching helps women stop starting overA powerful role-play example showing Ashley's coaching approach in real timeEncouragement for women who feel overwhelmed, stuck, or discouraged in their health journeyWho This Episode Is For:Women who want better physical health without adding more to their platesChristian women seeking a faith-centered approach to wellnessMoms who feel overwhelmed by traditional diet and fitness cultureAnyone tired of “all-or-nothing” health thinkingWomen who want sustainable habits that actually fit real lifeKey Takeaway:Sustainable wellness isn't about doing more.

What does it look like to coach teachers with humanity, curiosity, and care—especially in today's demanding educational landscape? In this episode of the Time for Teachership podcast, Lindsay welcomes back Dr. Jacobē Bell to explore what it truly means to take a humanizing approach to instructional coaching. Drawing on her experience coaching instructional coaches across multiple contexts, Dr. Bell shares practical strategies, mindset shifts, and real coaching moments that help educators grow while protecting their wellbeing. This conversation is part of a mini-series focused on supporting instructional coaches, particularly those who step into the role without formal preparation and are learning "by fire." What You'll Learn in This Episode/Key Takeaways  Humanizing Coaching Coaching is not just about instruction—it's also about emotional awareness, wellness, and meeting educators where they are. Coaches can balance accountability with care by centering teachers as co-producers of knowledge. Afrofuturism, Freedom Dreaming & Coaching Dr. Bell connects Afrofuturism to instructional coaching by imagining a future where educators experience wellness, contentment, and sustainability. A powerful vision: coaching that empowers educators without burning them out. Mindset Shifts from Teacher to Coach Moving from classroom teaching to coaching requires seeing the whole system, not just individual practice. Coaches must navigate adult belief systems, values about students, and differing perspectives—often without making everyone happy. Micro-Modeling as a Coaching Strategy Instead of modeling an entire lesson, Dr. Bell advocates for micro-modeling: Coaches model a short instructional move Teachers immediately practice it with students Coaches give real-time feedback This approach helps shift beliefs about student ability and leads to immediate, tangible growth. Surfacing Beliefs with Curiosity Strategies for navigating hard conversations: Reflecting teachers' words back to them Asking open, curiosity-driven questions Lowering defensiveness by naming uncertainty or even "blaming" your coaching Assuming best intentions opens the door to vulnerability and growth. Live Coaching with Care Live coaching can include gently interrupting or questioning moments of instruction—but only after trust and norms are established. Asking teachers how they prefer to be coached is a critical first step. Authenticity Over One-Size-Fits-All There is no single "right" way to coach. Effective coaching grows from authenticity, relationships, and listening—not rigid formulas. Sustainability & Change Management Dr. Bell shares her current learning focus on sustaining change in schools over time. Sustainable improvement requires planning for longevity from day one—not just short-term wins.

This #coachbetter episode is about the enabling conditions for coaching success and is a highlight from one of Kim's favorite episodes from a previous season featuring Ellen and Bruce Eisenberg, Founders of The Professional Institute for Instructional Coaching. Ellen and Bruce highlight the importance of developing a school culture that supports a growth mindset and a coaching culture.  If we don't have the systems and structures to enable teachers to opt-in to coaching and we aren't ensuring that coaches are focused on coaching work, it will be very challenging to build a coaching culture. All schools need the three elements of the Thrive Model for coaching to be successful and sustainable and most schools are missing at least one - is your school missing consistency?

Leadership isn't about control. It's about presence, character, and who you choose to be when things get hard. In this episode of Sharkpreneur, Seth Greene interviews Mick Hunt, creator of the MICK Factor™, who shares the deeply personal story that shaped his leadership philosophy. From a promise he made at age ten to change his mother's life to building a successful career in entrepreneurship, consulting, and podcasting with over 20 million downloads, Mick explains why emotional intelligence and presence now matter more than authority. He breaks down his MICK Factor framework and explains why leadership today requires empathy, accountability, and the courage to keep going. Key Takeaways:→ How leadership has fundamentally changed in a world where everything is instantly validated.→ Trust, transparency, and empathy outweigh titles, perks, and compensation packages. → Sustainable success is never about the individual; it's about developing people.→ Growth comes from committing to your own development, not just from working harder. → Your standards and values are visible before you ever say a word.

Surviving can look successful from the outside—yet feel exhausting on the inside. This episode explores the shift from pushing through to living well, even when life is demanding. If you feel stuck in reactivity, “Groundhog Day,” or constant busyness, Suzanne Rath shares practical ways to rebuild focus, momentum, and capacity. You'll learn why resilience isn't endless grit—it's resourcefulness, recovery, and intentional pauses that help you adapt, lead, and thrive long-term. About the Guest: Suzanne Rath is an endurance athlete, physiotherapist, and health coach based in Queensland, Australia (originally from Ireland). After a life-changing bike accident and traumatic brain injury, she developed the NDOS framework to support recovery, adaptability, and sustainable high performance. Episode Chapters: 00:06:10 – Survival vs thriving: the real shift 00:07:29 – Suzanne's accident and the long road back 00:09:23 – What resilience is (and isn't) 00:12:30 – Why survival mode accelerates time and fuels reactivity 00:15:07 – Signs you're stuck: focus, momentum, potential 00:17:57 – NDOS: vision, noise reduction, and recovery 00:23:18 – Support systems + adaptability as a modern superpower Key Takeaways: Treat purpose as a daily practice, not a feeling you “wait for.” Use micro-breaks to shift brain state (5 minutes counts). Create a “recovery menu” so breaks don't become more screen time. Reduce noise: close tabs, step away, and return to one priority. Build a support system with roles: cheerleader, accountability, wisdom. Strengthen adaptability by normalizing learning and mistakes at work.

In this solo episode, Lisa reflects on reaching episode ten of the solo series and the shift from self-doubt to claiming the podcast as her art — a space of joyful, honest self-expression rather than performance. She shares a compassionate, staged approach to behavior change that begins with non-judgmental awareness and an intentional “marination” phase before navigating the other stages, emphasizing the importance of regulating fear, distinguishing it from truth, honoring not knowing, and prioritizing learning before leaping. Throughout the episode, she explores strengthening mind-body connection, embracing beginnerhood and trial-and-error, and applying professional tools to personal recovery, while introducing High Involvement, Low Attachment (HILA) as an energetic framework for pairing full effort with non-attachment to outcomes, creating change that feels safer, steadier, and sustainable. Topics Include:Artful ExpressionFear vs TruthCompassionate ChangeHILA Framework[0:57] Lisa begins with a celebration of reaching ten solo episodes. She compares this achievement to the childhood joy of turning five years old—celebrating "two whole hands." She shares a personal "check-in" regarding her internal journey with the podcast; the fear, doubt, and anxiety regarding how her content would be received. Her view has shifted to see the podcast as a necessary form of "art" and self-expression.. [8:28] Lisa argues that believing one should intuitively know how to exercise is a limiting belief. Lisa shares her personal journey to debunk the idea that she "just knew" how to exercise. She details the specific, and sometimes unconventional, steps she took to educate herself after realizing she didn't know how to strength train properly or avoid injury. [15:52] Lisa discusses the common feeling of being stuck or fearful when facing uncertainty, particularly in areas like self-care, exercise, and nutrition. She shares that this feeling often manifests physically (tingling, tightness, holding breath) and is driven by an underlying fear of not having the right answers. Lisa shares that the first step is to acknowledge and process the fear associated with not knowing, without letting it control actions. [25:17] Lisa shares an anecdote about observing a certified personal trainer encountering a new piece of gym equipment. This experience provided insight into the learning process. The key to learning is not having all the answers but having the confidence to experiment, engage in trial and error, and be willing to be a beginner. [36:34] Lisa shares that a client shared a metaphor that likens the process of personal change to planning a trip. It involves distinct, sequential phases: looking at a travel brochure, going to a travel agent, booking the travel, packing, and then finally going on the trip. Lisa introduces a step between Contemplation and Preparation called "Marination." She urges listeners not to rush from awareness to action but to allow new realizations to "marinate" without judgment so that solutions can emerge from a place of calm rather than urgency.[57:02] Lisa wraps up this episode with an introduction to HILA. She shares that practicing High Involvement means actively taking all necessary steps within one's control to work towards a goal. Low Attachment is practiced by accepting that the outcome is not in your control, feeling the associated discomfort without letting it take over, and returning your focus to living in the present moment which is crucial for maintaining safety and sustainability.*The views of podcast guests do not necessarily reflect the views and beliefs of Lisa Schlosberg or Out of the Cave, LLC.LISA IS NOW ACCEPTING: One-on-One Clients!⁠Purchase the OOTC book of 50 Journal Prompts⁠⁠Leave Questions and Feedback for Lisa via OOTC Pod Feedback Form ⁠Email Lisa: ⁠lisa@lisaschlosberg.com⁠⁠Out of the Cave Merch⁠ - For 10% off use code SCHLOS10Lisa's Socials: Instagram⁠ ⁠Facebook⁠ ⁠YouTube⁠

Jim Bennett’s idea for sustainable and honest faith includes a theological argument that recognizing the fallibility of religious leaders is not just a mistake to be acknowledged, but a central purpose of mortality and the plan of salvation. He suggests that a sustainable faith must be rooted in truth rather than the “demigod” status often assigned to prophets. Jim is the host of Inside Out where he discusses faith with Ian Wilks, someone on the outside of the LDS Church. https://youtu.be/HPT5NHVDWg4 Jim Bennett is a podcast host, former political candidate, and descendant of prominent leaders in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. His personal and family history is deeply intertwined with Utah's religious and political landscape, which serves as the foundation for his current work in faith reconciliation and political centrism. Family and Political Background The Bennett family history in Utah began with Jim’s great-great-grandfather, Richard Bennett, who traveled to Utah but initially refused to join the Church. After a fire destroyed his savings, he famously clashed with Brigham Young and chose to settle in Salt Lake City rather than Bear Lake. His son, John F. Bennett, eventually joined the Church and founded the Bennett Glass and Paint Company. Jim comes from a long line of Republican politicians; his grandfather, Wallace Bennett, and his father, Bob Bennett, both served as U.S. Senators from Utah. Jim ran his father’s final campaign in 2010, which was marked by controversy over the TARP vote and resulted in a loss. This experience, combined with a dissatisfaction with the changing Republican Party, led him to co-found the United Utah Party, a centrist third party. He later ran for Congress and for Mayor of Sandy as a centrist candidate. Faith and Religious Work Jim is widely known within the LDS community for his line-by-line reply to the “CES Letter,” a document outlining various criticisms of Church history and doctrine. His response, which has been downloaded over 200,000 times, focuses on building a “sustainable faith” by acknowledging difficult issues rather than dismissing them. He hosts the “Inside Out” podcast with Ian Wilks, a former member of the Church. The podcast aims to facilitate productive dialogue between faithful members and those who have left, avoiding the polarization often found in religious discourse. Jim was also a producer for the docuseries “An Inconvenient Faith,” which explores how individuals maintain their faith while confronting challenging aspects of Church history. Key Philosophies A central theme of Jim's work is the concept of prophetic fallibility. He argues that viewing prophets as infallible “demigods” creates an unsustainable faith; instead, he believes the “central purpose of mortality” is to learn from mistakes. He asserts that: Trust over certainty: The current “faith crisis” many experience is actually a trust crisis caused by the institution’s perceived lack of transparency regarding its history. Honesty as a solution: He believes the Church would be healthier if it publicly apologized for past mistakes, such as the priesthood ban, to build long-term trust. Inclusivity: He advocates for a broader “big tent” approach to Mormonism, arguing that members should not be excommunicated for holding unorthodox views, such as polygamy skepticism/revisionism, as long as they remain committed to their covenants. Jim is also a member of the Tabernacle Choir at Temple Square and continues to engage in online discourse, despite facing significant harassment from both critics and orthodox members on social media platforms. What are your thoughts on Jim’s perspective? Have you visited LDS Faith Journeys? Care to share your journey? What advice do you have for others to maintain their faith in a crisis? Is it really a trust crisis? Don’t miss our other faith journeys: https://gospeltangents.com/tag/lds-faith-journeys/    

Episode Description: In this insightful episode of the Stuck In My Mind Podcast, host Wize El Jefe welcomes Shirley Hayden, founder and president of Aspire Sales Management Solutions, for her very first podcast appearance. Drawing from over 25 years of executive sales leadership experience and Harvard Business School strategy training, Shirley Hayden shares her expertise on what it takes to build sales systems that not only drive growth, but also endure. The conversation, both conversational and deeply practical, begins with Shirley Hayden recounting her journey from sales representative to executive leader. She discusses how natural leadership tendencies and a keen eye for systems propelled her career, and shares lessons often missed by others—including the importance of speaking up, asking for help, and maintaining open communication with those she leads. Throughout the episode, Wize El Jefe and Shirley Hayden unravel the nuanced relationship between personalities and systems in sales teams. Shirley Hayden emphasizes that while likability and interpersonal skills matter, the foundation of sustainable sales is process-driven. She notes that effective salespeople whether extroverts or introverts succeed by asking the right questions, genuinely seeking to solve customer pain points, and engaging deeply in the mental game of sales. Listeners gain valuable insights into the real-world challenges faced by sales leaders. Shirley Hayden describes turning around an underperforming New England sales team by introducing structured onboarding and operational processes, dramatically reducing the time it took for new hires to become profitable. This experience sets the stage for a broader discussion about the universal need for systems, illustrated not only in sales but also through Wize El Jefe's own experience structuring his podcast for greater efficiency and growth. The episode dives into the continuous evolution of leadership philosophies. Shirley Hayden advocates for ongoing education, firsthand customer interaction, and persistent exposure to current industry trends—especially the transformative role of AI and new technologies in sales acceleration. Both speakers highlight the power of attending summits and conferences for networking, education, and staying ahead in a fast-moving landscape. One of the most resonant themes is the challenge of strong products underperforming due to weak sales processes. Shirley Hayden systematically breaks down common pitfalls: poor onboarding, lack of infrastructure, mismatched sales personalities, and absent assessment tools. She explains the importance of identifying whether a salesperson is a hunter, farmer, or account manager, and ensuring roles align with individual strengths. The episode explores what separates teams that merely survive from those that scale. Shirley Hayden stresses the necessity of a buildable, scalable, and repeatable sales process. She introduces the concept of a customized sales playbook, recounting a case study with a law firm where lack of process led to inefficiency and redundancy. Her discovery approach focuses on streamlining systems to increase efficiency and communication, and reduce errors. Accountability and data-driven decision-making emerge as cornerstones of successful sales leadership. Shirley Hayden details how key performance indicators tracked in a CRM system empower organizations to manage, coach, and forecast effectively. Weekly one-on-one meetings, structured feedback, and clear benchmarks keep teams on track and motivated. As the episode delves into scaling sales teams from small businesses to national organizations, Shirley Hayden emphasizes the engine-like importance of sales, the limits of relying solely on marketing, and the advantages of hiring fractional leaders for specialized expertise without the high cost of full-time executives. She outlines the significance of sustainable, repeatable growth: proper forecasting, data-driven strategy, ongoing training, weekly troubleshooting, and competitor awareness. Addressing common blind spots among founders, Shirley Hayden observes that founders often promote trusted associates into sales roles without proper assessment or process, leading to mismatches and inefficiencies. She warns that 80% of small to mid-sized businesses lack a documented sales process, hampering their ability to scale. The episode offers advice for struggling businesses especially those plateaued or stalled in growth. Shirley Hayden recommends starting with a sales assessment, reaching out to a fractional VP for a complimentary evaluation, and evaluating compensation structures to ensure that sales teams remain incentivized and motivated. Culture, compensation, and legacy are tackled head-on. Shirley Hayden talks about cultivating A-players not just through money, but by providing pathways for advancement and a positive workplace environment. She underlines the essential role of organizational culture in attracting and retaining top talent, encouraging leaders to revisit and live their guiding principles, and to celebrate wins to foster morale and drive continual improvement. Personal anecdotes from Wize El Jefe bring these concepts to life. He shares stories about employee recognition and the importance of celebrating achievements, highlighting how meaningful leadership practices create lasting impact in every organization. The episode closes with Shirley Hayden's contact details and a call to action for founders, leaders, and business owners: structure and systems are the keys to unlocking clarity, confidence, and scalable success. If you're ready to rethink sales and drive sustainable growth, this conversation is essential listening. Key Topics Covered: Sales leadership evolution and common pitfalls The importance of systems over personalities in sales Building and onboarding effective sales teams Continuous education, networking, and leveraging AI Sales processes, playbooks, and infrastructure Accountability, KPIs, and data-driven leadership Scaling from small teams to national organizations (including fractional leadership) Sustainable growth principles in today's climate Blind spots around hiring, promotion, and processes for founders Compensation strategies to attract and retain top talent The role of culture, principles, and celebration in strong sales organizations Real-world anecdotes illuminating leadership and team motivation This episode of Stuck In My Mind Podcast is a masterclass in sales systems, leadership, and the psychology of growth as relevant for business owners, sales professionals, and anyone looking to build lasting organizational success.

routine Routine: The Most Underrated Survival Tool | Episode 587 Hey, it's James from SurvivalPunk.com. It's 45 degrees, I can barely see, and today we're talking about routine — why it's a great survival tool, how it helps you now, and how it helps you later. Routine is one of those preps that benefits you in the “for now” times and in the “oh crap” times. In a stressful situation, you fall back to your lowest level of training. So the higher you make that floor, the better you perform. And routine is how you raise the floor. You Will Fall to Your Routine Under Stress There's a part of my brain that loves routine. I didn't fully realize that until I got older, but I thrive on it. I get legitimately irritated when something messes up my routine. My morning coffee routine is streamlined. Optimized. Efficient. I've tweaked it over and over to make it faster so I can get out the door on time. Lately it's gotten too long, and I may need to rethink it — but the point is this: Once something becomes routine, you don't debate it. You just do it. That's powerful. Because when life gets chaotic, you don't rise to motivation. You fall back to habit. Eating Routine: Stop Letting Hunger Make Decisions Meal timing and food planning are huge. Yes, there's nuance. Yes, fasting can have benefits. Yes, you don't need to force-feed yourself at 9:00 if you're not hungry. But if you consistently don't plan food, you will make bad decisions when hunger hits. Your brain only has so much willpower. Decision fatigue is real. Every food choice drains a little bit of mental energy. If you don't plan, eventually you'll say, “Screw it,” and grab whatever is easy. Consistency beats intensity every time. I've seen people do crash diets — thousand calories a day, one meal a day, massive swings — and sure, they lose weight. Then they binge five pizzas and gain it back. Sustainable routines win. For me, that means: Meals prepped Protein prioritized Food ready before I'm starving If I'm not hungry at the exact time? Fine. But it's there when I need it. No panic decisions. Sleep Routine: Your Immune System Depends On It Sleep is massive. Bad sleep tanks your immune system. It wrecks hormones. It crushes recovery. It makes everything else harder. I try to go to bed at the same time every night. My wake time is consistent. Even on off days, I rarely sleep in past 5 or 6 a.m. When you wake up at a consistent time, you're proactive. When you sleep until noon, you're reactive all day. You're behind before you even start. Dial in: Bedtime Wake time Light exposure Supplements if needed Consistency compounds. Money Routine: If You Don't Plan It, It Plans You There's a quote floating around — if you don't plan your money, your money will plan you. It's true. When I review the budget regularly, everything works. We know where the money's going. Savings grows. There's less stress. When I don't? It's foggy. It feels tight. You wonder where everything went. Routine budgeting reduces anxiety. It reduces decision fatigue. It increases control. The more you can automate — savings transfers, bills, investments — the fewer decisions you have to make. Less friction means fewer mistakes. Fitness Routine: The Cascade Effect Fitness might be number four on this list, but it's powerful. A solid training routine creates a cascade of positive effects: Better sleep Better insulin sensitivity Better mental clarity Better mood I'm planning a body recomposition phase. That requires structure. I need a clear plan for when I train, what I eat, and how I recover. Again — routine lowers friction. You don't argue with yourself. You just execute. Final Thoughts Routine is boring. Routine is not sexy. Routine doesn't go viral. But routine raises your baseline. And in survival — whether it's job loss, stress, health issues, or disaster — baseline matters. Dial in: Food timing Sleep schedule Budget reviews Fitness structure You don't need perfection. You need consistency. This is James from SurvivalPunk.com.DIY to survive.

In this sharp and practical episode, Bart sits down with Brenton Nickles, founder of JDS1 Marketing, to break down what actually works in modern marketing — and what doesn't. Brent shares his journey from traditional marketing roles to building his own agency, helping businesses clarify their message, strengthen their brand, and execute consistently. He explains why most marketing efforts fail (lack of strategy, impatience, inconsistency), how attention is earned through value, and why long‑term positioning always beats short‑term tactics. This conversation cuts through the noise and offers a grounded, disciplined approach to marketing that leaders and entrepreneurs can immediately apply.Major Takeaways / LearningsMarketing is not a one‑time campaign — it's a system. Sustainable growth requires consistency.Clarity beats creativity. If people don't understand what you do, clever branding won't save you.Most businesses quit too early. Results compound over time — not overnight.Strategy must come before tactics. Posting content without direction wastes energy.Attention is currency. You earn it by solving real problems, not by being loud.Brand is built through repetition. Showing up consistently builds trust.Measure what matters. Data should inform decisions, not overwhelm them.Positioning determines growth. When you clearly define who you serve and how, momentum follows.Memorable Quotes“Marketing isn't magic — it's discipline.”“Clarity always beats clever.”“If you're not consistent, you're invisible.”“Strategy first. Tactics second.”“Attention has to be earned.”“You don't build trust in a week.” Why It Matters / How to Use ItThis episode is a reality check for entrepreneurs, leaders, and marketers who want results without the hype. Brent Nickles reinforces that growth doesn't come from chasing trends — it comes from clarity, discipline, and long‑term commitment. If you're frustrated by inconsistent results or overwhelmed by marketing options, this conversation offers a practical framework: define your strategy, commit to consistency, measure progress, and play the long game. Success in marketing — like success in leadership — is rarely flashy. It's built through disciplined repetition and clear positioning.Connect with Brenton over LinkedIn here: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brenton-david-nickles/

This week, Thea sits down with Audrey for a mid-process check-in on what "locking in" actually looks like when you're committed to doing it differently this time. This is the unglamorous, honest conversation about what happens when high-achieving women try to expand their lives without repeating the patterns that led to burnout in the first place.We end up in the middle of a frank discussion with no concrete answers about the difference between producing and protecting the experience, the value of training foundational practices instead of relying on talent and tenacity, and why the finish line matters less than the discipline of showing up (even inconsistently!). If you've ever felt frustrated when rebuilding feels slower than the shortcuts you took before this conversation will feel like permission to do hard things at a more human pace.TL;DR ...Why the rhetoric around "locking in" rarely includes the messy, frustrating middle of the process.Training small muscles with lighter weights instead of relying on big movements and talent to power through.How comparing your current chapter to your own past production levels creates a different kind of pressure than external comparison.The critical distinction between producing outcomes and protecting the experience of your life.Why structure isn't the enemy of creativity, but the foundation that allows high performers to expand without breaking down.What it means to rebuild practices from the ground up when you've spent years skipping foundational steps, and why that process feels frustratingly slow.The role of friendship, wisdom, and delusion in equal measure when navigating the gap between where you were and where you're headed.How to navigate the tension between optimization and pace, especially when you feel the pressure of time.Where to Go From HereYour turn: What hit home? Are you caught between chapters, rebuilding practices, or navigating the messy middle of sustainable ambition? Tag Thea @thea.does.all.the.things and Audrey @audreyetta and let's keep this conversation going.Trade frustration for framework: Download the Cowgirls Over Coffee Playbook, your quick-win guide to building sustainable practices that support doing it all well without burnout.You've entered the group chat: Subscribe to the podcast, share this episode with a friend who's done with toxic productivity culture, and keep coming back for conversations that honor both your ambition and your humanity.

In Part 2 of HBW Insight's conversation with sustainability leader Steve Ramus, we dig into the practical realities shaping the future of sustainability in consumer health, from what consumers are actually willing to pay for, to why packaging, supply chains and long‑term planning remain some of the industry's toughest challenges. Drawing on two decades of sustainability and ESG experience, Ramus explains how consumer price sensitivity varies across markets, why sustainability can ultimately make companies more efficient, and how inflation complicates the conversation. We also explore the complex world of pharmaceutical packaging — where safety, stability and regulation often collide with expectations around plastics, recyclability and waste — and why progress, though slow, cannot stall. Timestamps: 2:00 – Will consumers pay more for sustainable OTCs? 7:00 – You don't want to be unsustainable 9:00 – ESG is good for business 10:00 – Retailer expectations 15:00 – The state of play in OTC packaging 20:00 – The challenge of replacing plastic 23:00 – The challenge of recycling 27:00 – Sustainability priorities right now 31:00 – Supply chain 32:00 – The life of a sustainability professional Guest Bio: Steve Ramus is a global sustainability and ESG executive with 20 years of experience aligning strategy with business growth, risk mitigation, and value creation. As former Vice President of Sustainability & ESG at Perrigo, he led: ESG reporting, climate strategy, responsible sourcing, human rights due diligence, packaging circularity, community engagement and other initiatives that improved ESG ratings, delivered cost savings, and generated millions in incremental revenue. Steve advanced his career within the business having led teams in both HR and Sales, prior to his roles in sustainability.

In this insightful conversation, endocrinologist Dr Rocio Salas-Whalen joins Bahar to demystify the science and emotional journey behind GLP-1 medications. They explore how these drugs—originally developed for diabetes—have become a cornerstone of modern metabolic and hormonal health. From microdosing pitfalls to the importance of muscle preservation, protein intake, and hydration, Dr Salas-Whalen explains why these medications can be transformative when used responsibly under medical supervision. The discussion also touches on the psychological side of weight loss, the future of obesity treatment, and how GLP-1 might even influence brain health and addiction recovery. Dr Salas-Whalen’s new book Weightless offers practical guidance for women navigating midlife metabolism with compassion and science. Key Takeaways GLP-1 medications were discovered in 2005 and have redefined metabolic health. Chronic inflammation is a central issue in obesity and ageing. Microdosing doesn’t work—therapeutic dosing under expert care is essential. Muscle mass is the engine of metabolism and longevity. 100–110 grams of protein per day supports muscle, bone, and skin health. Hydration is often neglected but vital. GLP-1 may support addiction recovery and emotional stability. Sustainable change requires both science and emotional awareness.

This year, the PorterShed in Galway will be the location for the 2026 Sustainable Media Ireland (SMI) annual conference. It is the first time it will be held outside of Dublin, and TG4 are delighted to be the host. Sustainable Media Ireland is a network of media organisations that come together to discuss and share information, consider policy and promote engagement on all aspects of sustainability across Ireland's media sector. SMI members include TG4, RTÉ, Virgin Media Ireland, Screen Ireland, Screen Producers Ireland, Independent Broadcasters of Ireland (IBI), Craol representing national, local and community media commercial and online press, with support from Coimisiún na Meán. The conference will be a day-long experience, featuring talks and panels looking at many aspects of the media in Ireland, all through the prism of sustainability. While this clearly means careful consideration of the environment, it also considers the economic stability and social and cultural impact of our work. Previous SMI events took place in Virgin Media Ireland studios and RTÉ studios. This year's event will feature a look at the contribution Manchán Magan has made to the Irish language, television and our appreciation of the land. Technology innovator Glen Mulcahy looks into what impact AI could have in the not-too-distant future. After a very wet and stormy start to the year, there will also be a discussion on business resilience in the light of increasing extreme weather impact. Rónán Ó Domhnaill, Media Development Commissioner at Coimisiún na Meán said: "Coimisiún na Meán is committed to supporting sustainability best practice across the media sector in Ireland. The annual Sustainable Media Ireland event offers all members the opportunity to network, exchange ideas and develop policy. We are delighted to be heading West and holding the event outside Dublin for the first time. We're always conscious of managing the carbon footprint of the event by choosing timings that are convenient for public transport, which we strongly encourage, and providing vegetarian-only catering options. We're also excited to introduce online streaming for the first time for members unable to travel with international contributors joining us via video link. At a time when extreme weather events are impacting every part of Irish society, we look forward to exploring how media can address the climate crisis in a meaningful way." Deirdre Ní Choistín, Director General TG4: "TG4 are delighted to be hosting our media colleagues for this wonderful event. Sustainability must be at the heart of everything we do as organisations. It will be great to share best practices, hear from inspiring innovators in sustainable production and discuss the challenges we all face while working together to find long-term, viable solutions. Bringing people to Galway also allows us to showcase the best of what is happening here in the production sector in the West and to celebrate the achievements of our wonderfully talented media and creative professionals". The conference takes place on Wednesday, 25th February and is free for SMI members and staff to attend. Tickets are available on Eventbrite here.

What does it really take to build an ethical supply chain from the ground up? In this show, we learn from one of the very best. Note: Shows are never sponsored, ie companies paying us to appear on the show. An ad is an ad, and the show is the show. I'm publishing this because we all need to believe there are companies out there with mounting proof of concept that you can design for a better world through business. In this powerful conversation, I sit down with Gero Leson, an accomplished physicist and environmental scientist who has worked for some of the biggest companies in the world and then met David Bronner, CEO of Dr Bronner's. David implored him to join Dr Bronner's in the early 2000's, on a mission to build an ethical supply chain of the highest standards. We explore how one of the world's most values-led companies approaches transparency, cross-cultural leadership and business ethics in practice - not just in marketing.Gero shares how Dr Bronner's moved beyond buying ingredients on the open market, moved beyond labels and just ‘trusting it was fine because it sounds good'. They've built companies that farm and produce the raw materials that they use for their famous soaps and other products, as well as selling the raw materials to other brands seeking a fully transparent and ethical, regenerative supply chain. They've done this in Sri Lanka, Ghana, India and beyond. From creating fair-trade supply chains where none had existed to the standard they wanted to uphold, to investing in regenerative agroforestry, community education and healthcare. This is business as a vehicle for agency and dignity.We discuss:Why radical transparency is becoming the antidote to consumer distrustHow ethical sourcing is not about fixing one issue, but committing to long-term engagementThe power of leadership teams over heroic individual leadersWhy dignity and agency motivate teams more than rules and controlThe balance between efficiency and humanity in global businessThis conversation is not idealistic. It is grounded, complex and honest about the challenges. But it is also deeply hopeful. Gero says, “We joke about saving the world with soap but in a way, it's true”. If you have ever wondered whether business can truly be a force for good, this episode offers real-world proof that it can - when values are embedded at every level.Enjoy the show, Alexx Stuart, your host.

Local journalism isn't disappearing — it's being rebuilt in real time, and a new report from FT Strategies aims to show exactly how. Drawing on global data, newsroom case studies and on-the-ground experience, the Local News Playbook shifts the conversation from crisis to what's actually working. Instead of asking how to save journalism, the report examines what the most resilient organizations already have in common — and how others can follow. In a conversation with E&P, George Adelman, director and head of partnerships at FT Strategies, unpacks the patterns, priorities and practical steps that are redefining sustainability for local news.  Access more at this episode's landing page, at: https://www.editorandpublisher.com/stories/unpacking-the-local-news-playbook-what-sustainable-publishers-are-doing-differently,260183  

In today's episode, I break down why so many founders stay stuck even when they have ambition, intelligence, and a work ethic. The real problem is confusing motion with momentum, creativity with execution, and effort with results. I explain how pain, setbacks, and churn are feedback, not punishment, and how reframing that feedback turns detraction into traction. From clarity before velocity to building a real feedback loop, I lay out the fundamentals of operational leadership and the non negotiable behaviors that compound over time. Sustainable success comes from fixing what breaks in the order it breaks.

Most therapists and supervisors do not struggle because they care too much. They struggle because helping quietly becomes the business model. In this episode, Jennifer Marie Fairchild and I unpack why overfunctioning, loose boundaries, and undercharging slowly erode authority, ethics, and sustainability in both counseling practices and supervision.We talk about what we see every day in supervision contracts and group practice growth, how good intentions create real risk when demand is not assessed, and why resentment is often a signal that the structure is broken, not the therapist. This conversation is about naming the gap between wanting to help and actually building something that can last.In this episode, we cover:Why helping is not a business model, and how overfunctioning shows up in supervision and practice ownershipWhat supervision contracts reveal about boundaries, liability, and readiness to growHow expanding without demand harms associates, supervisors, and group practicesWhat ethical support actually requires when supervising associates or growing a businessIf you feel resentful, stretched thin, or quietly overwhelmed, hear this clearly: it is not a personal failure. It is usually a structure problem. Sustainable practices require clarity, limits, and systems that match the mission. if this conversation brings up questions about fees, policies, or where your practice might be leaking money, we've got a free resource for you that you can download: Stop Working For Free: The Therapist Fee Reset.And if this episode raised questions about supervision contracts, ethical growth, or how to build something sustainable without burning out, you do not have to sort that out on your own. Those are exactly the conversations we have inside the  Step It Up Membership, where we slow things down, get specific, and build practices that can actually support your life.Get your step by step guide to private practice. Because you are too important to lose to not knowing the rules, going broke, burning out, and giving up. #counselorsdontquit.

In this episode of the Healthy, Wealthy and Smart podcast, Dr. Karen Litzy speaks with Arielle Loupos, founder of Flower Girl, about the often-stigmatized topic of menstrual care and period products. They discuss harmful ingredients in traditional menstrual products, the importance of sustainable, non-toxic alternatives, and cycle syncing as a tool for self-awareness and empowerment. Arielle shares her journey creating Flower Girl and emphasizes the need for open conversations about menstruation to break the stigma and promote women's health. Takeaways  Menstrual care is often surrounded by misinformation and stigma. Traditional period products may contain harmful chemicals and toxins. Organic labeling on menstrual products can be misleading. Sustainable and non-toxic alternatives are essential for women's health. Cycle syncing can enhance self-awareness and optimize daily life. Women should honor their menstrual cycles and allow for rest. Understanding menstrual health is crucial for overall well-being. Open conversations about menstruation can empower women. Education about menstruation should start at a young age. Women's health research needs to be prioritized and expanded.  Chapters 00:00 Breaking the Silence on Menstrual Care 02:55 The Hidden Dangers in Period Products 06:10 Creating a Sustainable Solution: Flower Girl Underwear 08:55 Understanding Menstrual Health and Cycle Syncing 11:55 Empowering Women Through Menstrual Awareness 14:46 The Emotional and Societal Impact of Menstruation 18:02 The Future of Women's Health Conversations More About Arielle: Arielle Loupos is the founder of Flower Girl, a new sustainable and non-toxic period underwear brand designed to help women feel safe, confident, and in flow with their bodies.

Let's talk about “long-term” plans. Not your five-year vision board. I'm talking about your six-month plan in 2026 — which honestly feels like ten years in the 1950s. Most plans don't fail because they're bad ideas. They fail because they were designed on a whiteboard and never pressure-tested against real life. Your bank account. Your calendar. Your nervous system. You can have a perfectly logical launch plan that hits every industry benchmark — and still implode because you underestimated cash flow, time to execute, or the emotional load of risk and rejection. If you keep going back to planning every time something feels hard, this episode is for you. We're unpacking the gap between paper strategy and real-world sustainability — and why time, money, and nervous system bandwidth are the three constraints that actually decide whether your plan works. If this one hits a little too close to home… you're not broken. You just might be planning without accounting for reality.

Send a textHave you ever told yourself,“Okay. This time I'm going to stick with it.”And then a few weeks later… life happens. The routine shifts. The habit disappears. And suddenly you're questioning your consistency, your discipline — maybe even your identity. If that sounds familiar, this episode is your reset.We're revisiting one of our most powerful conversations with Ronnie Loaiza — behavioral science expert, certified habit coach, master certified life coach, and personal trainer — because the truth about habits is more relevant than ever.Especially for high-achieving women leaders.Because here's what we see all the time: You don't struggle with ambition or commitment. You struggle with trying to build habits on top of pressure, burnout, and unrealistic expectations.And your brain? It's simply doing what it was wired to do.In This Episode, We Explore:✨ Why willpower is overrated✨ The difference between a routine and a habit✨ What to do when a habit you built suddenly disappears✨ Why 21 days is a myth (real studies show 85–185 days!)✨ How to identify the hidden “reward” behind habits that aren't serving you✨ The neuroscience behind dopamine, celebration, and momentum✨ Ronnie's simple If–Then strategy for creating flexibility without losing progress✨ Why momentum beats motivation every timeWe also go deeper into the pre-work most habit books skip:Before you build the habit, you have to uncover: What void is this habit filling? What reward am I unconsciously protecting? Does this habit actually align with who I'm becoming?Because sometimes the habit isn't the problem.Sometimes it's the identity shift happening underneath it.For the Leader Who…Feels pressure to perform at the highest level — alwaysWorries about burnout but keeps pushing anywayBelieves she “should be able to handle it all”Wants systems that support her success instead of draining herIs ready to work smarter — not harderThis conversation will meet you exactly where you are.Not with hustle, shame, or more discipline. But with neuroscience, compassion, and strategy.Reflect As You Listen:Where am I relying on motivation instead of systems?What tiny action could rebuild trust with myself today?What changed in my life that may have disrupted my routine?Am I judging myself… when I actually just need a new plan?High performance doesn't require punishment. Sustainable leadership doesn't require self-neglect.And habits that last? They're built on awareness, alignment, and celebration.

Family physician Kelly Bain discusses her article "Why physician business literacy matters." Kelly explains that while doctors are trained to diagnose and treat patients, they are rarely prepared to navigate the complex financial realities of the modern health care industry. She argues that bridging this educational gap is essential for health systems to survive the shift from fee-for-service to value-based care models like WISeR and TEAM. The conversation highlights how understanding coding, risk adjustment factors, and operational efficiency empowers clinicians to become active stewards of resources rather than passive participants. Kelly emphasizes that when physicians master the business side of medicine, they protect patient access and ensure the long-term sustainability of care for vulnerable populations. Learn why the future of medical leadership requires a seat at the financial decision-making table. True team-based care starts with you. When you join ChenMed, you'll feel seen, heard, and valued. That's because ChenMed practices transformative, physician-led care, focusing on prevention and empowering providers to have a lasting impact on their patients and communities.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Dr. Willie Jolley. SUMMARY OF THE INTERVIEW In this energetic and motivational conversation, Hall of Fame speaker Dr. Willie Jolley joins Rushion McDonald on Money Making Conversations Masterclass to discuss his new book, “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better.” The interview covers the difference between being rich and being wealthy, the mindsets required for long-term financial growth, and how individuals—no matter their background—can build generational wealth. Jolley also emphasizes discipline, humility, planning, multiple streams of income, overcoming setbacks, and the importance of insurance and protection of assets. PURPOSE OF THE INTERVIEW The interview aims to: 1. Introduce and promote Dr. Jolley’s new book “Rich Is Good, Wealthy Is Better” and the teachings within it. 2. Educate listeners on the distinction between rich and wealthy Jolley wants audiences to understand wealth in generational, not short-term, terms. 3. Motivate individuals to shift their financial mindset From “working money” to “mailbox money.” 4. Empower entrepreneurs and families To adopt discipline, drop pride, and create multigenerational financial systems. 5. Share Jolley’s personal setback‑to‑success story To reinforce that anyone can grow wealth with the right principles. KEY TAKEAWAYS 1. Rich vs. Wealthy Being rich = high income, often tied to active labor (e.g., athlete contracts). Being wealthy = passive income, ownership, generational sustainability. A rich football player earns millions; the team owner earns billions and doesn’t have to “run up and down the field.” 2. The Five Money Mindsets Jolley explains five financial mindsets: One‑day mindset – living day to day. 30‑day mindset – fixed incomes/check-to-check living. One‑year mindset – annual thinking (raises, annual income). Decade mindset – typical for entertainers/athletes with multi‑year contracts. Generational mindset (Wealth Mindset) – building wealth to last multiple generations. Jolley’s goal: move people up just one level at a time. 3. Five Types of Wealth Jolley breaks wealth into five categories: Financial Wealth Health Wealth (“A sick person has one dream; a healthy person has a thousand.” – Les Brown) Relationship Wealth Reputational Wealth (Brand) Intellectual Capital Wealth (What you know and can charge for) 4. Discipline Is the Key Wealth requires: Living below your means Investing the difference Consistency Avoiding arrogance and ignorance 5. Pride Is an Enemy of Wealth Pride leads people to overspend to keep up appearances.Jolley argues that pride “kills wealth” and must be replaced with planning and humility. 6. The Three Legs of Wealth To build sustainable wealth, you need: Income Investment (letting money work for you) Insurance (life, health, car, disability, long-term care) 7. Multiple Streams of Income Jolley urges everyone to build at least two streams of income from: Stocks Bonds Real estate Crypto Collectibles Jewelry Art Content creation 8. Overcoming Setbacks Jolley details his own journey from unemployed nightclub singer to globally recognized motivational speaker.He reinforces that a setback is a setup for a comeback—the core message of his earlier bestselling book. 9. It’s Never Too Late to Start He cites examples of: A secretary who retired with $8M by investing small amounts over time Invested $12,000 at age 65 and grew it to $890,000 by age 72 NOTABLE QUOTES FROM THE INTERVIEW On Time & Opportunity “I have only just a minute… but it’s up to me to use it.” On Mindset “Wealth starts in your mind.” On Rich vs. Wealthy “Regular folks work for their money. Wealthy people make their money work for them.” On Pride “My pride was killing my wealth.” On Growth & Learning “If you’re willing to learn, no one can stop you.” [On Setbacks “A setback is a setup for your greater comeback.” On Starting Late “When is the best time to plant a tree?

Master the 8 Habits of Mind to build a sustainable, joyful writing practice that helps you finish your book without burnout or self-sabotage.Building a writing practice shouldn't feel like pushing a boulder uphill. But so many writers get stuck dealing with imposter syndrome, fighting writer's block, and wondering why their routine keeps falling apart.That's why in this episode, I sit down with Dr. Bailey Lang, a book coach, editor, and writer who specializes in helping authors build sustainable writing practices that actually work with their lives. With a background in Rhetoric and Writing Studies, she has spent years researching how writers get work done and what gets in the way.Today, Dr. Bailey Lang shares the 8 Habits of Mind: curiosity, openness, engagement, creativity, persistence, responsibility, flexibility, and metacognition. These habits extend beyond managing impostor syndrome. They help you proactively create a writing practice that actually sticks.Here's what we cover:[06:49] How openness helps you experiment with your writing practice and find inspiration in unexpected places without forcing yourself into routines that don't fit.[09:35] Why persistence is the habit Dr. Bailey Lang works on most with writers, and how to stick with your story during the messy middle when everything feels hard.[13:31] The surprising resistance writers have to flexibility, and why rigid writing streaks might be sabotaging your practice instead of helping it.[17:10] How to actually implement these writing habits without overwhelming yourself—starting with one habit, tracking it, and running small experiments.[26:50] Why stories are the truest form of magic, and how these habits give you permission to tell the story you're meant to write.Whether you're stuck, burnt out, or your writing practice isn't working the way you want it to, this episode will help you build a foundation that makes finishing your book feel possible and even enjoyable.
