Today our guest is Michelle DePuy, Secondary Ed. Program Specialist at Redlands Unified School District. We talk to Michelle about how her district is strengthening Tier 2 systems by focusing on both mindset and skill-building with secondary counselors. She shares how creating small-group structures, using consistent data from youth-needs screeners, and providing real coaching on implementation fidelity have helped staff move from uncertainty to confidence. Michelle also discusses early results: students gaining emotional-regulation skills, counselors feeling empowered to lead small groups, and a stronger bridge between Tier 1 and Tier 2.

How to Build a Sustainable, Scalable Business: Insights from Young Han, Fractional COO/CFOIn this episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur, host Josh Elledge interviews Young Han, multi-entrepreneur, founder of Always Han and Thesis, and host of The Girl Dad Show. Young shares his experience as a fractional COO/CFO, helping companies between $10M and $100M in revenue make data-driven, sustainable growth decisions. The discussion dives into how founders can scale methodically, balance emotion with logic, and build systems that create long-term stability instead of short-term excitement.Building a Sustainable Business ModelYoung explains that scaling a business requires more than ambition—it requires structure, clarity, and discipline. As a fractional COO/CFO, he brings high-level strategy and operational focus to businesses that are ready to grow but not yet large enough for a full executive team. He emphasizes separating emotion from decision-making and using quantifiable data to guide growth, helping founders see where they can take calculated risks versus emotional leaps.A key part of his process is understanding the founder's actual goals—whether it's income, freedom, or eventual sale—and aligning operational and financial strategies around those priorities. Young believes in the power of methodical, “boring” business-building: creating repeatable systems, managing risk intelligently, and using debt strategically rather than emotionally. His philosophy proves that success doesn't require chaos or constant reinvention—it comes from consistency, structure, and clear decision frameworks.Young also encourages founders to embrace what he calls “Built Boring,” a mindset focused on long-term results over flashy short-term wins. By grounding strategy in data and disciplined execution, leaders can create scalable businesses that endure—ones that don't rely solely on the founder's daily grind to survive.About Young HanYoung Han is a fractional COO/CFO, serial entrepreneur, and founder of Always Han, where he helps companies scale through structured financial and operational strategy. With a portfolio of over 20 growing businesses, Young specializes in guiding founders through the complexities of sustainable growth, decision frameworks, and strategic risk management. He is also the host of The Girl Dad Show, where he shares his insights on leadership, parenting, and entrepreneurship.About Always HanAlways Han is a business strategy and leadership development firm founded by Young Han, focused on helping entrepreneurs and business owners scale sustainably through data-driven decision-making, operational clarity, and financial discipline.

Burnout isn't just about dramatic crashes or sudden breakdowns - far more often, it creeps in slowly, going undetected until leaders and high performers find themselves exhausted, cynical, and detached. It's an uncomfortable reality, particularly in workplaces where relentless pace and hyper-productivity can masquerade as success.I spoke with Dr Claire Plumbly, psychologist and founder of Plum Psychology, who specialises in helping professionals recover from burnout. We challenge assumptions around burnout - as Claire says, it isn't simply a workload issue, and it's certainly not a badge of honour. Burnout can exist on a continuum: you can be hitting every marker for burnout and still function, still deliver. That's often missed by leaders and managers, especially when high output is mistaken for wellbeing.The conversation moves beyond the familiar territory of “resilience” and “stress management”, and digs into the deep-seated organisational factors that keep burnout hidden or, worse, normalised. We explore how team culture, boundaries, and everyday interactions can either perpetuate burnout or be used to genuinely create thriving, healthy teams.I'm all about provoking leaders to think differently. It isn't enough to simply identify stress signs; the real impact comes from regular, genuinely caring one-to-ones, creating true psychological safety, and holding space for rest and reflection - rather than cramming more into every vacant minute.Key takeaways are practical: model healthy boundaries, celebrate the power of pausing, and rethink what performance really means. Your self-worth and value cannot simply be measured by what's ticked off a to-do list each day. Sustainable high performance comes from the rhythm and rituals of work, not the heroics of overwork.Claire's book and resources offer insight for leaders who want to support teams to feel connected, valued, and safe. Burnout flourishes in silence - the antidote is care, conversation, and culture. The show notes have the links you'll need.Let's be clear: work should enable people to thrive, not merely survive.More about Claire:Dr Claire Plumbly is a Clinical Psychologist, author of Burnout: How to Manage Your Nervous System Before It Manages You, and founder of Plum Psychology - a team of psychologists offering trauma-informed burnout recovery both in-person and online. Through one-to-one work, intensive-therapy, and workshops, she helps busy professionals shift out of survival mode and into sustainable success.Links to contact Claire:LinkedIn: Dr Claire PlumblyFacebook: @drclaireplumblyInstagram: @drclaireplumblyTikTok: @drclaireplumblyWebsite: www.plum-psychology.comResources & ReferencesInsight to Action: Burnout Intervention - Downloadable ResourceWatch this episode on YouTubeRetained Partnership Info

Send us a textThis week on the Less Stressed Life, Eliza Kingsford joins me to talk about how your nervous system drives behavior and why lasting change only happens when your body feels safe.We dive into the three main nervous system states (safe and connected, activated, and shutdown) and how they show up in your relationship with food, stress, and self-control. Eliza explains why willpower isn't the problem and how to build capacity with daily “deposits” like rest, nourishment, and connection so your body can finally support change instead of resist it.I was fired up about this one because it connects everything—physiology, behavior, and peace. You'll walk away with a clearer understanding of why you feel stuck and how to shift it.KEY TAKEAWAYS:• Your nervous system drives every thought, feeling, and action • Change feels unsafe to the brain—safety cues make new habits possible • Food behaviors mirror nervous system states (frantic in activation, numbing in shutdown) • Build capacity by balancing “deposits” like rest, nourishment, and connection with “withdrawals” like stress and overwork • Flexibility and resilience in your nervous system create real, lasting change ABOUT GUEST:Best-selling author, licensed therapist and former Corporate CEO, Eliza Kingsford is a nervous system expert and behavior change specialist. She is widely known for helping clients regain control and rewire their process so they can finally lose weight peacefully and keep it off permanently.

If you've ever felt like marketing your therapy practice is confusing, intimidating, or just not your zone of genius, you're not alone. In this episode, I want to help you breathe a little easier about it. Marketing doesn't have to be reactive or overwhelming. It can be intentional, sustainable, and rooted in long-term success for your business and your peace of mind. Whether you're just opening your solo practice, looking to welcome more clients, or scaling into a group practice, my guest Kristie Plantinga and I talk honestly about what actually works when it comes to digital marketing for therapists. You'll hear how to keep your practice visible online, how to think about your return on investment, and which tools can help you track whether your efforts are truly bringing new clients your way. (00:14:21) “It's about, did I get a return on the investment that I put into this? It's the most important thing really, when you're working with a marketing company.” — Kristie Plantinga Kristie is the founder of Place Digital (formerly TherapieSEO) and a passionate advocate for helping therapists understand how online marketing really works. Together, we unpack what private practice owners need to know about SEO, Google Ads, and digital marketing strategy — all from a grounded, therapist-friendly perspective. Smart Marketing Strategies for Private Practice Therapists Marketing is one of the biggest investments you'll make in your practice — and it can feel risky when you don't know where to start. In this conversation, we explore how to make wise, informed choices about where to spend your time and money so you can build stability for years to come. (00:05:43) AI Tools Integrated with Google (00:07:44) Flawed Marketing and Hiring Strategy (00:12:52) Sustainable Growth Through SEO (00:13:57) Long-Term Perspective in Marketing (00:19:33) Tools to Demystify Marketing (00:22:44) Rethinking Marketing for Practice Owners (00:24:48) Big Investments, Big Returns (00:28:32) Google Ads vs. SEO Costs (00:33:17) Proactive Marketing for Therapists (00:34:32) Sustained Growth for Practices Google Ads vs. SEO: Choosing the Right Path for Your Therapy Practice As Kristie reminds us, Google is the gateway to the internet. Whether we love it or not, if potential clients can't find you there, your practice is essentially invisible. But there's a catch — Google isn't always a reliable partner for small businesses. Policies change overnight, and as therapists, we're rarely their priority. That's why we talk about investing in your marketing before you need it, rather than reacting when your caseload dips. Sustainable marketing is about planting seeds now for the clients you'll be serving six months from today. Kristie shares her honest take on Google Ads — calling Google “a selfish and unreliable partner” — and explains why SEO is a more sustainable, long-term investment. While ads can create short bursts of visibility, SEO helps you build an online foundation that continually attracts your ideal clients. How Much Should You Really Spend on Marketing? In this episode, Kristie and I walk through what a healthy marketing cycle looks like for different stages of private practice. We talk about setting a budget that feels aligned, tracking what's really working, and investing in strategies that will continue to pay off over time. Marketing decisions made from fear rarely lead to growth that lasts. Instead, we can learn to make calm, confident, and informed choices about where to invest our energy and resources.

On Healthy Waves with host Avik Chakraborty, Hipolito Montero shares a direct, no-drama account of turning a doctor's warning—an enlarged heart and daily chest pain—into a disciplined, sustainable fitness practice. We cover the early walks during UK lockdown, a mindset reset after injury and self-doubt, training for Hyrox, and why moderation—not food rules—keeps progress consistent. If you're starting again (or starting at all), this conversation focuses on practical habits, accountability, and self-respect that compound over time.   About the guest  : Hipolito Montero is a health and fitness transformer who cut weight from 130 kg to ~101 kg through disciplined habits, coaching, calisthenics, and Hyrox-style conditioning. He speaks candidly about rebuilding confidence, managing injury, and creating a realistic relationship with food and movement.   Key takeaways  : A medical wake-up call (heart 53% larger than normal) sparked change; the goal became longevity and showing up for family. Early momentum came from simple actions: daily walks/runs in nature during lockdown with an accountability partner. Mindset shift > motivation: stop seeking external validation; build self-respect via consistent, small wins. Coaching and community matter: weekly reflections, honest tracking of achievements and pain points, and accountability. Injury reframed progress: sciatica forced smarter training—form, mobility, chiropractic care, and planned recovery. Training target: Hyrox (8 × 1 km runs + 8 functional stations). Completion over speed; amateur-friendly formats (solo, pairs, relay). Sustainable nutrition: no “good/bad” foods; manage calories, keep treats, and choose lower-calorie options when eating out. Activity baseline now includes regular 12k+ daily steps, 5–10K runs, and calisthenics (e.g., hand-to-wall handstand). Confidence is trained: presenting, podcasting, and public speaking improved alongside physical capacity. Purpose pays forward: using lived experience to encourage people who feel stuck to try, adapt, and keep going.   Connect with the guest   Instagram   Want to be a guest on Healthy Mind, Healthy Life?

Across the U.S., hospitals and surgical centers are facing a growing provider shortage—particularly among anesthesiologists. At the same time, demand for surgical and procedural services continues to rise, especially in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). This imbalance has forced many healthcare organizations to rethink their anesthesia coverage models. In this episode of Value-Based Care Insights, host Daniel J. Marino sits down with Dr. Thomas Pallaria, Assistant Professor and Director of the Nurse Anesthesiology Program at Rutgers School of Nursing, to discuss the evolving role of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Together, they explore the growing reliance on CRNAs to meet demand, the benefits and challenges of integrating them into care models, and the implications for hospitals, anesthesiologists, and patient outcomes.

In this week's episode of The Publisher Podcast, we're joined by David Adeleke, founder and CEO of Communiqué, a media business that analyses African media and its creative economy. Communiqué started out as a newsletter, but now runs live events and publishes research about the scope of the creator economy across the continent. We last spoke with David four years ago on the podcast, and a lot has changed since he set up his newsletter as a side project. He talks to Peter about how he always wanted Communiqué to be more than a newsletter, his vision for a 'proper' media business, and how he is hiring to build a culture that can be replicated elsewhere. He also talks about community and the importance of bringing what he does online into physical spaces.

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.

If there is a city in China that embodies the spirit of breaking new ground, daring to dream, and turning visions into reality, it is Shenzhen.在中国，若论哪个城市最能诠释敢闯敢试、敢为人先、将愿景变为现实的精神，那一定是深圳。From a fishing village in southern China about four decades ago to a global innovation powerhouse today, the city has become a living showcase of China's reform and opening-up, as well as a launchpad for the future of sustainable, digital and green development. Shenzhen is suitable to chart the future of Asia-Pacific cooperation.四十多年前，深圳还是中国南方的一个小渔村；如今，它已崛起为全球创新高地。这座城市不仅是中国改革开放的生动缩影，更是推动可持续发展、数字发展与绿色发展的未来试验田。深圳完全有能力引领亚太合作的未来方向。On Saturday, Chinese President Xi Jinping announced in Gyeongju, South Korea that Shenzhen will host the Asia-Pacific Economic Cooperation (APEC) Economic Leaders' Meeting in November 2026.周六，中国国家主席习近平在韩国庆州宣布，深圳将于2026年11月主办亚太经合组织（APEC）领导人非正式会议。Noting that Shenzhen has developed from a small and backward fishing village into a modern international metropolis over the past few decades, Xi said that the city's rise is a miracle in the history of world development created by the Chinese people and also an important window to China's unswerving pursuit of a mutually beneficial and win-win opening-up strategy.习近平指出，几十年来，深圳从一个落后的小渔村发展成为现代化国际大都市，这座城市的崛起是中国人民创造的世界发展史上的奇迹，也是中国坚定不移奉行互利共赢开放战略的重要窗口。LIVING LAB OF OPEN INNOVATION开放创新的“活实验室”In a speech at the second session of the 32nd APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting under the title "Jointly Forging a Sustainable and Brighter Future," Xi highlighted the need for open innovation by leveraging shared scientific and technological advances through collaborative efforts.在第32届APEC领导人非正式会议第二阶段会议上，习近平以“携手打造可持续、更加繁荣的未来”为题发表讲话，强调要通过协同合作，依托共享科技成果，推动开放创新。"At present, the new wave of scientific and technological revolution and industrial transformation is deepening," Xi said."Challenges such as climate change, food security and energy security are intensifying. Asia-Pacific economies must enhance mutually beneficial cooperation, make good use of new opportunities, stand up to new challenges, and forge a sustainable and brighter future together," he said.习近平表示：“当前，新一轮科技革命和产业变革深入发展，气候变化、粮食安全、能源安全等挑战不断加剧。亚太各经济体必须加强互利合作，用好新机遇，应对新挑战，共同打造可持续、更加繁荣的未来。”For Daniel Dumbrill, a Canadian current affairs commentator who once lived in Shenzhen for 14 years, Shenzhen exemplifies cooperative action in the tech field.曾在深圳生活14年的加拿大时事评论员丹尼尔・邓布里尔（Daniel Dumbrill）认为，深圳是科技领域合作实践的典范。"Much of APEC's purpose is practical cooperation: trade, tech-sharing and green growth. Shenzhen doesn't preach -- it delivers," he said. "Shenzhen fits APEC's style perfectly and can act as inspiration for the entire APEC region."“APEC的核心目标之一是务实合作，涵盖贸易、技术共享与绿色发展。深圳从不空谈，而是实干。”他说，“深圳与APEC的理念高度契合，完全能够为整个亚太经合组织区域提供借鉴。”Characterized by a dense cluster of leading tech enterprises and high-growth startups in artificial intelligence (AI), biotech and advanced manufacturing, Shenzhen's strategic emerging industries have become a pillar of its economy. Their added value rose to 1.56 trillion yuan (about 220 billion U.S. dollars) in 2024, representing 42.3 percent of the city's gross domestic product (GDP).深圳汇聚了大量人工智能、生物科技、高端制造领域的龙头科技企业与高成长性初创公司，战略性新兴产业已成为其经济支柱。2024年，深圳战略性新兴产业增加值达1.56万亿元（约合2200亿美元），占全市地区生产总值（GDP）的42.3%。The city's unwavering drive for innovation aligns perfectly with Xi's call for APEC economies to "unleash the potential of digital and smart development to give the Asia-Pacific region a fresh edge in innovation-driven development" and "promote new quality productive forces." But equally important is the fact that in Shenzhen, the spirit of cooperation has long been taking root.深圳对创新的不懈追求，与习近平提出的“释放数字智能发展潜力，为亚太创新驱动发展注入新动能”及“推动新质生产力发展”的倡议高度契合。同样重要的是，合作精神早已在深圳落地生根。Shenzhen's strengths in sectors such as electronic information, new energy and AI align closely with the strong demand from Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) countries undergoing digital and industrial transformation.深圳在电子信息、新能源、人工智能等领域的优势，与正经历数字化和产业转型的东南亚国家联盟（东盟）各国的强劲需求高度匹配。At the 22nd China-ASEAN Expo held in September, Shenzhen's "Smart Manufacturing" drew global attention with its innovative edge, resulting in on-site contracts worth 47.61 million yuan (about 6.7 million dollars) and intended deals totaling 192.4 million yuan (about 27.1 million dollars).在2024年9月举办的第22届中国—东盟博览会上，深圳“智能制造”凭借创新优势吸引了全球目光，现场签约金额达4761万元（约合670万美元），意向成交总额达1.924亿元（约合2710万美元）。Meanwhile, since 1999, the China High-tech Fair has been held annually in Shenzhen, serving as a significant window for China's opening-up in the high-tech sector and an important platform for exchanging and trading technological achievements.与此同时，自1999年起，中国国际高新技术成果交易会（简称“高交会”）每年在深圳举办。作为中国高新技术领域对外开放的重要窗口，高交会已成为技术成果交流与交易的关键平台。"APEC is a wildly diverse set of economies that all have unique strengths and weaknesses. As a new city, Shenzhen has been at the forefront of building a new style of global city," said Andrew Hutchins, associate professor at Shenzhen's Southern University of Science and Technology.深圳南方科技大学副教授安德鲁・哈钦斯表示：“APEC涵盖的经济体多样性极强，各有独特优势与短板。作为一座新兴城市，深圳始终走在打造新型全球城市的前沿。”"Shenzhen has now fused its own unique characteristics based on research, innovation and organization that can serve as a model for new upcoming cities looking for rapid development," said Hutchins.“如今，深圳已融合形成基于科研、创新与组织管理的独特城市特质，可为寻求快速发展的新兴城市提供典范。”哈钦斯说。GREEN GROWTH PATTERN FOR FUTURE引领未来的绿色发展模式During his speech, Xi called for staying committed to green and low-carbon development to build a new paradigm for sustainable development in the Asia-Pacific region.习近平在讲话中呼吁，坚持绿色低碳发展，构建亚太可持续发展新范式。"We should keep in mind our responsibility to our future generations, enhance synergy between green development strategies of all economies, promote free flows of quality green technologies and products, accelerate the green and low-carbon transition, and vigorously tackle climate change," Xi said.“我们要牢记对子孙后代的责任，加强各经济体绿色发展战略协同，推动优质绿色技术和产品自由流动，加快绿色低碳转型，积极应对气候变化。”习近平强调。Innovation in Shenzhen is not just digital. It is also green. Over the past years, the city has become a leader in clean energy and sustainable urban development. It is the first city in the world to electrify its entire public bus fleet, a transformation that has cut millions of tons of carbon emissions annually.深圳的创新不仅体现在数字领域，更贯穿于绿色发展之中。过去数年，深圳已成为清洁能源与可持续城市发展的领军者——它是全球首个实现公共交通巴士全面电动化的城市，这一转型每年可减少数百万吨碳排放。The city is a hub for renewable energy technology production, with companies manufacturing solar panels, wind turbines and energy-storage systems, and has also developed projects like the Shenzhen Energy Ring plant, which generates electricity from waste and supplies it to the city's grid.深圳还是可再生能源技术生产枢纽，众多企业在此制造太阳能电池板、风力涡轮机与储能设备。此外，深圳还建成了深圳能源生态园等项目，通过垃圾焚烧发电并接入城市电网。China itself has set ambitious goals to have CO2 emissions peak before 2030 and achieve carbon neutrality before 2060. On Saturday, Xi briefed leaders of the APEC economies on China's concrete actions to advance global green transition.中国已制定明确的绿色发展目标：力争2030年前实现碳达峰，2060年前实现碳中和。周六，习近平向APEC各经济体领导人介绍了中国推动全球绿色转型的具体举措。"China has submitted its 2035 Nationally Determined Contributions on climate response, and will implement the system of dual control over the volume and intensity of carbon emissions across the board," said the Chinese leader.习近平表示：“中国已提交《中华人民共和国2035年温室气体排放控制目标》，将全面实行碳排放总量和强度双控制度。”"China has funded the establishment of the APEC Support Fund -- Sub-fund on Promoting Digitalization for Green Transitions, and will continue to implement relevant initiatives on clean energy and green transition," Xi said.“中国出资设立了APEC促进绿色转型数字化专项基金，将继续实施清洁能源与绿色转型相关举措。”For Wirun Phichaiwongphakdee, director of the Thailand-China Research Center of the Belt and Road Initiative, the Asia-Pacific region should steadfastly pursue green economic and industrial strategies, continue strengthening strategic alignment with China's development initiatives, and build more stable and secure supply and industrial chains.泰国—中国“一带一路”研究院院长威伦・披差翁帕迪认为，亚太地区应坚定推行绿色经济与产业战略，持续加强与中国发展倡议的战略协同，构建更稳定、更安全的供应链与产业链。"China's transition to green and low-carbon development is steadily advancing. China's efforts toward achieving carbon peak and carbon neutrality have been widely recognized," said the expert.“中国向绿色低碳发展转型的步伐稳健，在实现碳达峰、碳中和目标上的努力得到了广泛认可。”这位专家表示。As the host of the APEC Economic Leaders' Meeting in 2026, China shoulders the important mission of guiding Asia-Pacific cooperation and helping it reach a new stage, said Christina Ruth Elisabeth, economist at the Faculty of Economics and Business, University of Indonesia.印度尼西亚大学经济与商学院经济学家克里斯蒂娜・露丝・伊丽莎白指出，作为2026年APEC领导人非正式会议的主办国，中国肩负着引领亚太合作、推动其迈向新阶段的重要使命"In the field of sustainable development, advancing renewable energy and low-carbon investment will be crucial to supporting long-term growth," said the expert, stressing that the 2026 APEC meeting is expected to become a significant milestone in building a more open, inclusive, sustainable and resilient Asia-Pacific economy.“在可持续发展领域，推动可再生能源发展与低碳投资对支撑长期增长至关重要。”她强调，2026年APEC会议有望成为打造更开放、更包容、更可持续、更具韧性的亚太经济的重要里程碑。powerhouse /ˈpaʊəhaʊs/n.强大的组织；实力雄厚的机构paradigm /ˈpærədaɪm/n.范例；典范；

In Episode 286 of The Business Development Podcast, Kelly Kennedy sits down with transformational coach and finance expert Jenn Bieri, founder of The Practice Space, to explore what it truly means to redefine success without losing yourself. Jenn shares her powerful journey from scaling a global tech startup from 40 to 400 employees and leading $20 million in capital raises, to realizing that achievement without alignment comes at a cost. Her story is one of courage, clarity, and transformation—showing what happens when you trade burnout for balance and ambition for authenticity.Together, Kelly and Jenn unpack the real challenges leaders face behind closed doors: the exhaustion, the guilt, and the endless pursuit of “more.” They discuss how mindfulness, emotional awareness, and intentional boundaries can shift the way we lead and live. This episode is a reminder that success isn't about how far you can push—it's about how true you can stay to yourself while you rise.Key Takeaways: 1. Success without alignment eventually leads to burnout, no matter how high you climb.2. Leaders often forget that they need emotional and physical care just as much as their teams do.3. Slowing down and creating space often produces more clarity and creativity than constant action.4. True balance requires intentional boundaries—your time and energy deserve structure.5. Ambition can be healthy, but only when paired with mindfulness and self-awareness.6. Fulfillment comes from aligning your career and lifestyle with your values, not external validation.7. Redefining success means unlearning the belief that worth is tied to productivity.8. Fear is natural when stepping away from comfort, but courage creates transformation.9. Sustainable leadership starts with nervous system regulation—rest is a strategy, not a luxury.10. The ultimate freedom comes when you choose to thrive, not just survive, in your work and life.The Practice Space is where high-performing leaders learn to slow down, reconnect with themselves, and build success that feels balanced, intentional, and deeply human.Learn More: https://thepracticespace.co/If you listen to The Business Development Podcast, you belong in The Catalyst Club.

Episode 139 - Evolving Anesthesia Care Models: Leveraging CRNAs for Sustainable Coverage Across the U.S., hospitals and surgical centers are facing a growing provider shortage—particularly among anesthesiologists. At the same time, demand for surgical and procedural services continues to rise, especially in ambulatory surgery centers (ASCs). This imbalance has forced many healthcare organizations to rethink their anesthesia coverage models. On this episode Dan sits down with Dr. Thomas Pallaria, Assistant Professor and Director of the Nurse Anesthesiology Program at Rutgers School of Nursing, to discuss the evolving role of Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetists (CRNAs). Together, they explore the growing reliance on CRNAs to meet demand, the benefits and challenges of integrating them into care models, and the implications for hospitals, anesthesiologists, and patient outcomes.

In this solo episode of Business Coaching Secrets, Karl Bryan dives deep into powerful mindsets, flywheel business models, and unconventional strategies for signing and retaining high-end coaching clients. With Road Dog absent, Karl answers key audience questions and shares proven tactics from his own journey building a multimillion-dollar coaching company. Expect candid insights on how to think like billionaire founders, radically improve event conversions, leverage networks, and help clients start simple, profitable businesses that resist disruption—even in the age of AI. Key Topics Covered Thinking Like Billionaire Founders Karl explores how leaders like Jensen Huang (Nvidia) and Jeff Bezos structure their approach to business with an urgent, "always 30 days from going out of business" mindset. He discusses the concept of moving fast, staying ferocious, and viewing every opportunity as a potential river to divert, rather than dam. Flywheel Business Models Karl breaks down why thinking in circles and building business flywheels is crucial. He maps out the flywheel for running live events as a coach: events → attendees → authority → conversions → referrals → (back to) events. The secret isn't just in hosting events—it's filling them, and leveraging every attendee for ongoing referrals and networking. Networking for High-End Clients The episode highlights how to "level up" networking by moving from BNI groups to chambers of commerce, golf clubs, yacht clubs, and exclusive industry organizations. Knowing where your ideal clients spend their time is key. Creation vs. Elevation in Coaching Karl shares why helping ordinary people start simple, franchisable businesses (rather than just elevating existing owners) yields massive rewards. He explains how to choose business types resistant to major competitors and even AI disruption. Buying Ideal Clients If starting over, Karl would buy ideal clients by offering irresistible deals, knowing that repeat business drives profit. He recommends a scaled pricing approach for new clients and gives examples ranging from free first-time services to $0.01 Big Mac campaigns that explode customer acquisition. Lifestyle Flywheel and Planning He discusses the flywheel for lifestyle and success: thoughts → actions → behaviors → lifestyle. Emphasizing that planning and foundational habits—like reading and continuous learning—drive outsized business results. The Power of Learning over Knowing Karl makes the case that continual learning, voracious reading, and careful book selection lead to compounding insights, better instincts, and faster business growth—far more than just the facts you can recite. Notable Quotes "We're always 30 days from going out of business." (Jensen Huang via Karl Bryan) "You don't want to collect stamps—you want to collect crowds." "Funny equals money. You don't have to be a stand-up comedian, just authentically yourself and get a little bit better each time." "You've got to train in private to perform in public. That's Tom Brady 101." "It's more important to learn than to know. Learning is the discipline that reshapes the patterns of your thinking." Actionable Takeaways Think in Flywheels, Not Straight Lines: Map out every client acquisition strategy as a repeatable cycle for compounding results—especially with events. Level Up Your Networking: Graduating from standard business groups to industry clubs and networks where your target clients really spend time boosts your odds of finding high-end prospects. Buy Ideal Clients: Don't be afraid to make offers that lose money up front if you have confidence in your recurring model and results. Scaled pricing creates authority and long-term wins. Serve before You Sell: Lead with value—whether through events, free problem-solving calls, or helpful resources. Authority and referrals flow from helping first. Help Clients Start Simple Businesses: Guide ordinary people to launch "franchisable" businesses they can master quickly—and which large competitors or AI are unlikely to disrupt. Keep Learning and Reading: Choose biographies and "letters to shareholders" from the greats. Focus on reshaping your thinking, not just memorizing facts.
